Guan Ping is shameless and can ask Liu Biao for a dowry.

But Guan Yu couldn't hold this face down, so Guan Yu scolded him for a while, and Guan Ping left in shame.

This made the request for one hundred oxen to do the dowry from Liu Biao, and it went smoothly.

However, when it comes to this matter, Guan Ping still took advantage. Guan Ping did not give a betrothal gift in this marriage and got a wife. He just didn't know whether she was beautiful or ugly or virtuous.

It's considered a blind marriage.

There must be a dowry, and Liu Biao couldn't afford to lose that person. There were at least many slaves, servants, furniture, etc., and maybe there were a few houses and shops in Xiangyang.

So if Guan Ping asks for a dowry, it would be rude.

It’s just that Guan Ping is shameless and shameless.

So two things happened on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Guan Yu learned about the incident of Diannong Captain and scolded Guan Ping.

Guan Ping suggested to Guan Yu that he would ask for a hundred plowing ox as a dowry, but he was scolded by Guan Yu again.

Wait, carefully, it seems like this is the same thing.

Guan Ping was scolded???!

In the next ten days, Guan Ping was in a state of nothing, practicing martial arts during the day and "plowing the fields" at night. However, I wonder if Zhang Yu was told by Liu's instructions and strictly controlled the number of times Guan Ping "plowing the fields" at night.

Only once a night.

Only one night can be visited in five days.

This made Guan Ping, who had just tasted the taste of men and women, very dissatisfied and protested, but the protest ended up being invalid. This made Guan Ping realize something. Who is the real boss in this inner house?

Mom Liu!

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month in the ninth year of Jian'an, Guan Ping stayed in bed and missed the meal. Guan Ping only got up from the bed at midnight. Zhang Yu, who had never been bedtime, had already gotten up and sat in the small hall with his son Deng Ai in his arms.

Hearing the movement in the bedroom, Zhang Yu handed Deng Ai to the two maids he accompanied and told him, "Go to have a meal." He came to the bedroom and waited for Guan Ping to dress and wash.

When Guan Ping came out, there were already rice porridge, eggs, and a plate of braised pork on the table table in the small hall.

"Father...dear,...father..." Deng Ai leaned forward in the maid's arms, spread his arms towards Guan Ping, and stuttered.

Guan Ping immediately showed a big smile, reached out and hugged Deng Ai and sat in his arms. Then he spooned up a spoonful of rice porridge and put it into Deng Ai's mouth.

Deng Ai shook his head and stuttered: "Fill, full...full."

Zhang Yu smiled when she looked at it. The reason why she stayed in the Hou's Mansion and agreed to be Guan Ping's concubine was that Guan Ping was so kind to Deng Ai.

But Zhang Yu was worried and said, "What should I do if Aier's stuttering problem?"

"He is still a child, it will be fine when he grows up." Guan Ping smiled. History records that Deng Ai only stuttered when he was young, and he should have disappeared when he grew up.

Guan Ping can't remember clearly, but it doesn't matter, just remember it's Deng Ai.

Stuttering is just a small problem.

Zhang Yu was amused and crying. He never heard of stuttering that he could get better after growing up. Instead, he heard of stuttering more severely when he grew up.

But it's fine.

Xiao Junhou is so kind to my son, and my son should have no worries about food and clothing in the future.

Guan Ping used breakfast and returned Deng Ai to Zhang Yu, who was planning to go out to practice martial arts. Ding Feng and Ding Feng stood in front of the door, and the brothers are now inseparable from Guan Ping.

Guan Ping could see the two of them when he went out in the morning, and before going back to bed in the afternoon, he could see them.

"Sir, Master." The two bowed to Guan Ping.

Guan Ping waved his hand and signaled that there was no need to be too polite. Then, a small official walked up to this place and came to Guan Ping to salute him respectfully and said, "Little Junhou, Yin is engaged in sending villains to find you."

Guan Ping's heart moved and asked Yin Guan to send someone to Jiangdong a few years ago to see if he could buy a Shanyue woman and send it to 5,000 surrendered soldiers as his wife. I'm afraid this is the case.

Guan Ping nodded and went to the front yard, where Yin Guan was doing business. Ding Feng and Ding Feng were naturally accompanying each other. When he came outside the room, Guan Ping walked in, and the Ding brothers stood outside.

There were two people in the room, Yin Guan was sitting in the main seat, and a man dressed in a minor official sat in the guest seat.

"Mr. Yin."

"Little Junhou."

Guan Ping and Yin Guan met the ceremony, and the minor official also greeted Guan Ping and called "Little Junhou". Then Guan Ping came to the guest seat and sat down, and asked bluntly: "Mr. Yin, is the Shanyue woman in Jiangdong here?"

Yin Guan nodded, then pointed to the little official and said, "This is Zhang Hu, he went to Jiangdong to be responsible for purchasing Shanyue women."

Guan Ping looked at Zhanghu, who was very calm and bowed and said, "Little Junhou. Last year, Jiangdong quelled the Shanyue rebellion and confiscated tens of thousands of people, including the strong as soldiers, the elderly as weak as the people, and each of them was at peace. Sun Quan did not enslave, so there were not many Shanyue women who entered the slaves. The villain went to Jiangdong this time, but only bought twenty-five people."

Guan Ping's head hurt when he heard this. He was worthy of being Sun Quan, and he also knew the importance of population. The riots in the mountains and rivers caused great damage to Jiangdong.

But every time Sun Quan wins, he can gain a lot of population.

Until the late Eastern Wu period, there were records of the Shanyue riots, and then the court quelled the rebellion and confiscated the strength.

It would be better if Sun Quan killed all the strong and enslaved Shanyue women. Now Sun Quan is pacifying Shanyue and making him a good citizen.

In addition, since the Liu Bei era, Xinye has been buying servants and expanding his population. Now the servants on the market are almost extinct.

Therefore, Zhang Hu only collected twenty-five women from Dashanyue during his trip to Jiangdong.

And these twenty-five people were given 5,000 Cao's army to surrender?????

How to allocate this?

Can you cut a small portion?

Guan Ping shook his head and didn't think about this matter for the time being. He just said to Zhanghu: "First settle the twenty-five mountain women, I'll find a way to distribute them. You are tired, go and have a rest."

"No." Zhang Hu Yingnuo said, bowed and went down.

"Mr. Yin, where are the oxen plowing? Spring is coming soon. How many oxen are there in my ten villages?" Guan Ping turned his head and asked Yin Guan.

Yin Guan smiled bitterly and said, "Xinye's population has grown rapidly. Since the old lord was there, he has been buying cows outside. But he has always lacked plowing oxes. Before the New Year, I sent someone to Xiangyang to buy plowing oxes and got twenty cows. I divided ten for the county, and the remaining ten for Ma Jichang."

"I have five thousand people in ten garrisons, only ten cows?" Guan Ping opened his eyes wide and said incredible.

Yin Guan nodded with a wry smile.

"This kind of field still requires the joint efforts of man and cow, but people alone cannot plow many acres." Guan Ping sighed, and then said to Yin Guan: "Sir, continue to send people to buy cows, Bashu, Jiangdong, and Jingzhou, and all send people to buy more cows before spring, and you can buy at an appropriate premium."

Yin Guan nodded and responded to this matter, but he knew it was extremely difficult. For the people, cattle and land are equally important tools of production. Unless the family is destroyed, who is willing to sell cattle?

Even the old cow is reluctant to sell it.

And it is about to begin spring, and every household needs cows to plow the fields.

This is something that can only be done.

Wife, ox.

This is the important problem facing the 5,000 Cao army under the command of the Diannong School of Guan Ping. As for the top and bottom of Xinye, Yin Guan and all the civil officials cooperated with each other, and Guan Ping did not need to worry about it.

Then Guan Ping and Yin Guan talked for a while, and were about to leave. He saw a minor official coming in from outside and reported: "Xiao Junhou, someone from the Ministry of Agriculture has escaped."

This minor official Guan Ping recognized that he was a minor official in his camp. When he saw this person, Guan Ping knew that something was wrong. Hearing this, he naturally sighed, got up from the seat and said, "Prepare the horse and go to the Ministry of Agriculture."

Immediately, Guan Ping, surrounded by Ding Feng, Ding Feng brothers, and some soldiers, came to the yamen of the Dian Agricultural Ministry.

Sun Gan, Ma Liang, Zhou Cang, Li Fei, and the yamen officials came out to greet him. After seeing Guan Ping, they saluted and met.

"No need to be polite, talk inside." Guan Ping waved his hand and led everyone to the lobby of the yamen to sit down. The Ding brothers stood on both sides of Guan Ping by swords.

Sun Gan, Ma Liang, Zhou Cang, Li Fei, and the minor officials sat down according to their official positions.

"Which area happened, how many people defected? Could someone be sent to pursue it?" Guan Ping asked.

"It is Zhang Junhou's jurisdiction, and twelve people defected. Zhang Junhou personally took people to chase him and asked Liao Hua's spy department for help."

Ma Liang said in a deep voice, and then said ashamed: "Mr. I am not good at doing my job well, so I ask the Master. I will punish you."

"This is not entirely a matter of Ji Chang. These surrendered soldiers have always been very honest. In addition, they expected that the surrendered soldiers would not have food, weapons, or crossbows. Even if they escaped, they would not be able to escape back to Wancheng. This made the upper and lower levels relax. Unexpectedly, these surrendered soldiers actually defected."

Sun Gan said with a wry smile.

Everyone knew that Xiahou Dun had excellent military management and his soldiers were loyal. But everyone also knew that he had gone to Wancheng for hundreds of miles and had no food for the surrendered soldiers, so it was unlikely that he would go back.

Unexpectedly, these surrendered soldiers really took the risk.

This was unexpected by the Diannong Captain's troops.

Guan Ping shook his head and said to Ma Liang: "Ji Chang, you are the Sima of the camp. I am not responsible for you to coordinate the overall situation. It is not your problem to take charge of the surrendered soldiers. I think it is probably because Brother Zhang is careless, so he relaxed his defense. When he comes back, if he recovers the surrendered soldiers, the army waiter, Du Bo, Shi Chief, and the sergeant commander each receive ten military sticks. If he cannot recover, the punishment will be doubled."

Ma Liang smiled bitterly and stopped talking because Guan Ping guessed correctly. Zhang Bao was relaxed in care. Zhang Bao was straightforward and rude in nature. Seeing that the surrendered soldiers had not caused trouble for a long time, he relaxed in defense.

That's why the surrendered soldiers ran away.

In addition to knowing that Zhang Bao is rough, there is another negative example. Li Zheng and Li Zheng were the military officers promoted by Guan Ping himself, and passed Zhao Tong, Mi Wei, Zhou Xiong, Li Fei and others.

This man is ambitious and capable. He must be loyal to his duties and takes strict supervision of the surrendered troops in his troops, so nothing happened.

On the contrary, something happened to Zhang Bao.

Ma Liang is experienced and gets along well with Zhang Bao. He wanted to resist this matter by himself. Unexpectedly, Guan Ping was so worried that he could only give up with a wry smile.

As for Guan Ping.

Although he and Zhang Bao are his own brothers, he still has to fight.
