The ministers have a very high professional quality, and they can draw up a more suitable reward by dividing it by two, which can not only meet the expectations of the Son of Heaven, but also not violate the rules of the imperial court.

Cao Shi's reward standard was roughly 3,000 households, and 2,000 catties of gold.

The standard of merit is closer to Chen Ping, the prime minister and the general who destroyed Zhulu, and the actual reward is much higher than that of Chen Ping and the baby, because the imperial court stipulates that one city jin is equal to 2 Han jin, and two thousand city jin of gold is equal to 4ooo Han jin of gold.

After all, Cao Shi accumulated so much credit at the beginning, for the sake of the tragic experience of the two generations of marquis of Pingyang, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty sealed 3,000 households and gave a high reward of 2,000 catties of gold, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also accepted their fate.

If you give a similar reward, carefully analyze the benefits of the reward and double the benefit, Cao Shi can't say that the reward is good or small, if you really want to say it, you are a fool who is greedy and does not know how to advance or retreat.

Liu Che saw that the reward was impeccable, and basically acquiesced to this standard.

At this moment, the long-silent Da Nong Ling stood up, Dou Ying bowed down and stood up and said: "The minister thinks that the Marquis of Pingyang has gone through hardships and hardships and has made great achievements, and he should be able to seal 5,000 households and give 3,000 catties of gold to be fully loyal!" ”

"What?"

The civil and military officials were in an uproar.

What is the concept of 5,000 households!

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there were more than 100 feudal marquis, and 5ooo households could be ranked in the top ten.

The 5th Fan Xu, the 9th Guan Ying, the 12th Wang Ling, the 47th Chen Ping also have 5ooo households, the 6th Li Shang, the 7th Xi Juancai 48oo households, the 8th Xiahou Ying 69oo households, the 11th Jin She 53oo households, the 15th Xue Ou 45oo households, and the 17th Ding Fu 78oo households. The 18th bug reached 4ooo households.

On it, the Marquis of Yingling was first sealed and then the King of Yan, and the 88th Liu Ze was 12ooo household. No. 2 Cao Shen 1o6oo household, No. 62 Zhang Liang 1oooo household. From King Zhao to Xuanping Hou, the third Zhang Ao is close to 10,000 households, the fourth Zhou Bo is 81oo households, and the first Xiao He is 8ooo households.

It was a staggering number at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, and it is still very staggering today.

"Don't laugh, this joke is not funny."

"It's really funny for the big farmer to tell jokes in a serious way."

The hundred officials and ministers tried to cover up the past with a smile, but helplessly now it has no effect.

Dou Ying's face did not change and said: "What the minister said is true. In the more than 60 years since the Han Dynasty, how many heroes and heroes have expanded their territory for thousands of miles, how many have captured more than 100,000 prisoners, and how many have destroyed the city and destroyed the country to sacrifice the Taimiao? ”

"Good!"

Liu Che was immediately overjoyed, and stroked his palms and exclaimed: "What the Great Nong Ling said is really good!" Since the founding of the country, how long has the Han family not opened up its territory, and how long has it not broken the city and destroyed the country, the time is so long that I can't remember clearly, how can such slackness be worthy of the spirit of the ancestors in the sky! ”

The Son of Heaven has raised the tone infinitely to the level of opening up the territory and expanding the territory, and then counting higher, it can be said that it has to boost the confidence of the Han family and reshape the supreme level of the Han spirit. This shows how determined the Son of Heaven is to be seriously injured.

The three princes and nine kings looked at each other, and a look of eye contact fell on the prime minister.

Prime Minister Xu Chang gritted his teeth, knowing that it was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, he had to break through: "Your Majesty." The Han family has laws, the court has regulations, and the ancestors have iron laws, and they cannot be abolished! If His Majesty really seems to reward the Marquis of Pingyang, he might as well give other compensation, and he should not make more fuss about the closure of the household, after all, there are regulations for the closure of the household......"

Dou Ying shook his head and said: "The prime minister is pedantic, Emperor Taizu Gao is a great meritorious marquis, if it is purely calculated by merit." Hou Xiao He Jugong was the most ridiculous, and he was awarded 8ooo households. He was also compensated by Taizu for 2ooo households, and his wife was also a liege. More than a dozen people in the Xiao family have to eat, and only the Xiao family has this treatment for nearly 200 people in the early Han Dynasty. Replace Chen Ping, 6 Jia, why not eat its many assistants? ”

It's so bold.

Tian Wei vigilantly wiped the cold sweat on his head, and secretly caught a glimpse of the expression of the Son of Heaven who was in thought, he felt that it was a correct choice for him to shut up, Dou Ying risked offending the emperor of the Liu family to make this move, just like dancing on the edge of a hot pot, and accidentally jumped into the pot and died.

Cao Shi watched the confrontation between the ministers playfully, once upon a time he was like Dou Ying who fought alone against the ministers, this time as a party and participant, he watched coldly, and felt that the expressions of the three princes and nine kings were either angry or puzzled.

At the beginning, Wei Juan, Zhi Budo and others also had similar expressions, and the feng shui turned back in turn, and the power of fate was amazing.

What exactly does Dou Ying mean?

Cao Shi felt that this was more worth exploring, a Confucian-born Dou family, strictly speaking, was half an enemy, and suddenly shouted for his standard of merit, and he had nothing to do.

Dou Ying just turned his head and smiled at him, as if silently saying Pingyang Hou, please rest assured, I won't let your credit run away.

The Son of Heaven woke up from his contemplation, frowned, and said: "What the Great Nong Ling said is not unreasonable, I am familiar with the historical materials of the early Han Dynasty in Shiqu Pavilion, and the favor of Marquis Xiao He is really incredible, and the general of the Che Cavalry is the first emperor and the true service, and the merits and influences he has made in the past few years are not inferior to those of the Marquis at that time, and the reward that the Che Cavalry General has received is only to benefit 3,000 households." ”

Cao Shi felt that his face was like a red-hot charcoal fire, and hundreds of eyes fell on his face, which was hot.

said that he compared himself to Xiao He, and Cao Shi was the best.

Because there are many people who dare to compare themselves with Xiao He, they feel that their talents are comparable to Xiao He, which does not mean that their real talent is really as high as Xiao He, let alone that their merits and influence are not inferior to Xiao He, they are boasting.

Xiao He is not an ordinary person, the status of the early Han Dynasty is the fourth person under Yi Yin, Zhou Gong, and Guan Zhong, and Wang Zuozhicai, who supports the Son of Heaven on the throne.

These four people, Yi Yin helped Cheng Tang to establish the Great Shang Dynasty for more than 500 years, Duke Zhou assisted King Wu and King Cheng established the Great Zhou Dynasty for 800 years, except for the slightly worse status of Duke Qi Huan assisted by Guan Zhong, Xiao He's status is not inferior at all.

Cao Shi's credit is right, but it is really a bit of a brag to say that he is not inferior to Xiao He.

He himself felt a little embarrassed, and paused: "Your Majesty has praised it, the reputation of the Marquis is in history, and the ministers dare not boast and be proud." Just want not to disgrace the prestige of the ancestors, and you will be satisfied. ”

Dou Ying arched his hand and said, "The general of the chariot is too modest. ”

Cao Shi also returned the salute: "Don't dare!" I really don't have modesty, although my governing skills are good, I occasionally compare myself to Yin Zhou Gong and Guan Zhong Xiao He. But in terms of credit, it's really much inferior, but I'm not discouraged. I also have the opportunity to create a zào future. ”

The three princes and nine qing looked at each other and were very surprised in their hearts, could it be that the Marquis of Pingyang was taken captive to South Vietnam for thousands of miles, and his bull temper was also worn off by seven or eight points?

More modest.

Prime Minister Xu Chang breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, this big prickly head learned to be modest, it was really a headache when he met Cao before, like a proud rooster pecking at people, being modest is at least a good sign.

Liu Che frowned and looked, and felt that the expressions of the hundred officials and ministers were messy. Xindao couldn't discuss a good result, so he simply clapped the board and said: "The merit is so decided, the general of the chariot and cavalry has the merit of Sheji, and I decided to seal 5,000 households and give 3,000 catties of gold." ”

"Whoa!"

The hundred officials and ministers don't care much about the reward, anyway, the reward is the people and goods of the emperor of the Liu family, as long as the emperor is willing to give more, it doesn't matter, the key is whether the emperor's respect for the system is insisted on as always, Cao Shi's attitude is changing, indicating that his loyalty to the emperor and execution are declining as always.

In the eyes of the ministers, it is a good sign. Loyalty and execution are very important, but they cannot be applied to every place as the only criterion, and politics itself is a process of game and compromise. Instead of studying the plan, giving orders, and executing the orders as simple and rude.

Cao Shi smiled to greet the congratulations of the hundred officials and ministers, and the big stone in his heart was quietly put down, whether it was Tian Wei's deliberate targeting or Dou Ying's deliberate touting, there was no need to worry or be afraid.

Because this time is different from the past, the general of the chariot cavalry is a noble position, and there is no need to manage complicated government affairs. It is only necessary to be responsible for the one-third of the land in the war, and even military training can be thrown away and ignored. After all, the lieutenant, the lieutenant, and the lieutenant Lang are there to take over the training at any time, and the general can just use the tiger talisman to select the generals.

Offering prisoners to the temple is too common work. He only had to twist all the captives of the nobles of Yelang Country to Taichang Temple, so he didn't have to worry about half a point, Zhao Zhou would rather be busy with his feet than willing to let others intervene, Cao Shile was leisurely, and walked back when he got out of Weiyang Palace, and was stopped by a carriage halfway through.

"Pingyang Hou is polite! In the lower Huainan Hou Liu An. ”

"Oh! It turned out to be the king of Huainan...... Hou! Have you been reinstated as a liege? I'm not very familiar with the changes in Chang'an when I just returned to Beijing under the next, so I'm sorry. ”

Liu Anzhen said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to visit again in a few days, but my relatives at home were very worried, so I had no choice but to stop Pingyang Hou outside the common gate, like asking my little daughter Liu Ling where is now?" How are you doing? When will I be able to go back to Chang'an?"

"Liu Ling is now recuperating in Chengdu, Shuzhong, and he is sick in the jungle, and he needs to recuperate for a few months, and he can't say when he will come back, Huainan Hou can write a letter to send to Shuzhong, and the official post station can be forwarded to the past, Liu Ling lives in the post house in Chengdu to recuperate, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Liu An nodded abruptly, and after a while, he raised his head and muttered, "It's not right!" This kid's appearance is not like the legendary arrogance, could it be that what Wei Juan said is not sincere? No, many people say this, are they all lying to me? ”

Sitting in the carriage and enjoying the midsummer street scene, Cao Shi's mentality changed.

After more than half a year, Chang'an urban construction is very different.

At the beginning, the reconstruction of the city wall promised to Prime Minister Xuchang was launched, and the Shaofu Han Anguo summoned 200,000 conscripts in Guanzhong, and asked the people to speed up the progress of demolishing the wall and rebuilding at the cost of providing food and accommodation.

Cao Shi has seen the design drawings of the new city, and the source of the current drawings is a sketch of the design of the new Chang'an City two years ago, and Han Anguo quietly plagiarized his design ideas.

This old guy is very smart and knows that the risk of plagiarism is very high, so when he meets people, he says that the plan comes from the former Shaofu Cao, which will reduce the credit for him a lot, and the corresponding resistance in the court will also be greatly reduced.

He felt that the necessity of the expansion of the city wall was not particularly large, and the idea of this plan focused on the renovation of the northern city wall, the northern part of the new city wall will extend to the Weihe embankment, the city wall and the embankment are combined, and the wharf is located in the port area outside the city.

At the same time as repairing the city wall, it is necessary to build a Weihe embankment, the amount of work should be much higher than the standard of repairing the city wall, although it has greatly promoted the prevention of flooding, but it is not necessary to rush to repair it, the efficiency of the existing Weihe embankment is not bad, the demolition of the embankment and the repair of the embankment consumes national funds and consumes people's manpower, it is better to change some more affordable plans are more cost-effective.

At the beginning, when the Shaofu would be there, he consciously built a large building complex in the south of the city, including the temple and the Taimiao Square, the racecourse, and the Taixue, and planned to move the new city to the south as a whole, and there are several major tributaries in the Bashui of Chang'an in the south, the terrain is high and flat, which is safer than the adjacent Wei River to raise water hazards, and in the distance it is still the urban area of Tang Chang'an and Xi'an.

"Expansion is also a plan, let him do it if he wants to."

Cao Shi didn't stop it, the project was carried out for a third of the time, and it was too late to stop it, Han Anguo was not a safe guy, Cao Shi could remotely direct his work, but he couldn't fully grasp his actions, so eagerly promoting Chang'an New City was nothing more than wanting to show his execution and overall planning ability.

When the merit of planning belongs to the predecessor Shaofu Cao, the merit of implementing the overall planning should always belong to the current Shaofu Han Anguo, and with this credit, Han Anguo can be regarded as entering the eyes of the emperor, not a dispensable substitute.

The demolition of the city wall was the first step, the construction of a new wall a mile away was the second step, the construction of the embankments on both sides of the Wei River was the third step, and the addition of new luli in the city was the fourth step.

Completing the plan within three years, Han Anguo is a well-deserved capable official, even if his reputation is far less than that of his predecessor Shaofu, it doesn't matter, his position among the three princes and nine secretaries is unbreakable.

"Huh! Why bother with such a camp? ”

Cao Shi's heart was very tired.

In order to stabilize the position of power and promote to a high position, every bureaucrat tried his best to display his talents, and he once insisted on it like Han Anguo.

Suddenly I felt bored.

Fighting back and forth, it is nothing more than for the throne of the Three Princes, those who sit on it are unwilling to lose their power, sit below while looking at the gaps above, and beware of people below to make trouble for themselves, and forget to eat and drink for the sake of power.

"It's a good feeling to be a general, and it's good to refresh the rules and save money and leave it to the ministers."

Out of Chang'an, along the gallop to the east.

The dusty construction site behind him gradually faded away, sitting in the carriage and humming a certain song that was circulated in South Vietnam, the lyrics and songs were tactful and mixed with the vigor of Qin Feng, long and long. (To be continued)
