Xun Wenqian was discussing a problem with several technicians, when she saw Xun Chen coming in, she gave some instructions, then turned around and led Xun Chen to the side office.The room is full of books, proofs and unfinished manuscripts, leaving only a large desk in the center.

The two sat down, and before Xun Chen could speak, Xun Wenqian said, "Uncle came just in time, and I was going to look for you. I, Aunt, sent a letter asking you to go to Hedong immediately."

Xun Zhan breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, if Xun Yu came forward, it would definitely be more useful than him.

"Is it because the Son of Heaven wants to storm Yecheng?"

"No." Xun Wenqian froze for a moment, took out a letter from home, and pushed it in front of Xun Zhan. "It's the Son of Heaven who wants to compile the "Biographies of the Danggu" and is collecting information, which may involve some past events that are not convenient to announce."

Xun Chen was taken aback, and hurriedly took the family letter and read it carefully.

Xun Wenqian took another proof and handed it to Xun Zhan.

It is the preface of "Dang Gu Lie Biography" and the announcement of the collection of materials.

Xun Zhan looked pale after reading them one by one.

Xun Wenqian stared at Xun Zhan. "Uncle, what is this past that is not convenient to announce?"

Xun Zhan raised his head and looked around.

There was no one around, and Xun Wenqian had already made arrangements for everyone to stand far away.

Xun Chen sighed and said with a wry smile, "Do you know when Zhang Jiao started preaching?"

Xun Wenqian's complexion changed slightly. "Is it related to the party?"

Xun Chen nodded. "To be precise, it has something to do with your ancestor Ciming Gong. From the second party imprisonment, Ciming Gong first hid at sea and then fled to Hanbin. He met Zhang Jiao many times to discuss the "Taiping Jing". If there is no With the teachings of Lord Ciming, how did Zhang Jiao understand the teachings of the "Taiping Jing"? The yellow scarf can create such a big momentum, and it has a lot to do with Lord Ciming."

Xun Wenqian's complexion was pale, and she said quietly after a long while: "No wonder the Yellow Turban riot caused chaos in the world, but my Xun family in Yingchuan was safe and sound. It turns out..."

Xun Chen shook his hand. "Don't think too much about it. Lord Ciming has some connection with Zhang Jiao, but it's only academic. We have never participated in the planning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. If partisans are really involved, how can the Yellow Turban turn up and down? Zhang Jiao has been preaching for more than ten years, and has contacted many people, including many people in the palace. We even suspect that the late emperor has something to do with it, but we have not found any definite evidence."

Xun Wenqian sneered. "What my uncle said is probably one-sided, not the whole story. Even if what you said is true, how can you convince the emperor?"

Xun Chen smiled wryly, rubbing his palms against his knees. "That's the problem. If you don't say it, you can only let others play the wrong role. If you say it, you can't prove your innocence. At the time when I was angry, I thought that the destiny of the Han family was about to end. Who would have thought that this would be the result? Misunderstanding."

Chapter 933

Although deeply dissatisfied with the party members' relationship with Zhang Jiao, Xun Wenqian could not just sit idly by.

There are more than a dozen members of the Xun family in Yecheng.

She prepared some travel expenses for Xun Chen, and told Xun Chen that it would be best to meet Yuan Shu when he passed through Luoyang.

Yuan Shu's daughter, Yuan Heng, is now the minister next to the emperor, and has the opportunity to speak.Even if he can't help, at least he can understand the emperor's recent state of mind and avoid trouble when the emperor is in a bad mood.

Hearing Yuan Shu's name, Xun Chen felt as if he had eaten a fly.

But he still accepted Xun Wenqian's suggestion.

Saving people is the most important thing, just take a little bit of anger.Since Yuan Shao was captured, they had been humiliated countless times by Yuan Shu, and they didn't care about one more time.

After bidding farewell to Xun Wenqian, Xun Chen rushed to Situ's mansion again to meet Yang Biao.

Yang Biao also received the Dibao and was discussing it with Mi Heng.Knowing that Xun Chen was coming, he immediately ordered someone to come in.

Mi Heng sat, didn't get up, just rolled his eyes.

Xun Chen knew that he was a crazy student, so he didn't bother with him. He saluted Yang Biao, took his seat, and then explained why he came.

He hoped that Yang Biao could come forward as Situ and ask the emperor to issue an edict to pardon most of the people in Yecheng, instead of forcing the judges and others to fight to the death, and finally bring harm to the innocent.

Before Xun Chen finished speaking, Mi Heng laughed.

"Are there any innocent people in the city? I don't think, especially those who entered the city later, they deserve to die." Mi Heng stood up and shook his sleeves. "They want to fight against the world with a mere state, and resist Dutian with force. I really don't know where they have the courage."

Xun Chen couldn't help retorting: "That's because Jizhou people overestimate their capabilities, and it has nothing to do with me, Ruying people."

"You Ruying people place their hopes on Jizhou people who are overconfident, so you have no eyes and no eyes?" You Heng chuckled, making no secret of his sarcasm. "This world has been messed up by you Ruying party members who have no eyes and no eyes and Jizhou people who are overconfident. Death is not a pity."

After speaking, without waiting for Xun Chen to answer, he walked away.

Xun Chen blushed with anger.

Yang Biao waved his hand and shook his head while talking. "You Ruo, don't argue with him, he's so young, everyone looks like a fool. I'm often ridiculed by him too."

Xun Chen was puzzled. "Since that's the case, then Yang Gong still uses him as a slave?"

Yang Biao said with a smile: "Although he has a bad mouth, he is indeed very capable of handling official affairs. I can only sleep if I use him as a guide. You have been in Chang'an for a while. What's wrong?"

Xun Chen thought about it, but couldn't find anything wrong with it.

Thanks to the convenience of printing the Mansion Newspaper, any decrees that the Sangong wants to issue are usually published simultaneously on the Mansion Newspaper for public discussion.The Situ Mansion is in charge of the people's livelihood in the world, and its affairs are the most complicated, and it has issued the most government orders and measures, which has caused a lot of discussions, but in the end they all got everyone's approval.

At first Xun Chen thought it was Yang Biao's sophistication, but now he realized that it was all thanks to Mi Heng.

"Mr. Yang, what do you think of the emperor's ultimatum?"

Yang Biao stroked his beard and pondered. "I think the problem is not with the emperor, but with the interrogation. After he was captured, he shouldn't have raised troops. It would be an understatement to say that he is overconfident. If you ask me, he did his own crimes and cannot live."

Xun Chen smiled wryly. "Shen Pei and Tian Feng deserve to die, but I, from Ruying, are innocent."

Yang Biao's eyes flashed. "Strictly speaking, not innocent."

Xun Chen was stunned, his eyes widened, and he stared at Yang Biao.

Yang Biao said indifferently: "Everything has a cause and an effect. Back then, when you thought that the fate of the great man was dead and you wanted to change the dynasty, you should have thought of the possibility of implicating the nine clans. With all due respect, even if the fate of the great man is dead, the heavens It will not be your party members who are revolutionary. Party members act extremes, which are not enough to succeed, but they can fail, no different from Shen Pei and Tian Feng."

Xun Chen let out a long sigh, stood up, and cupped his hands.

"Even though Mr. Yang is old, he can keep pace with the times. I'm ashamed of myself, so let's leave now."

Yang Biao chuckled lightly, disapprovingly. "It is said that your brothers are both talented, but He Boqiu only values ​​Wen Ruo. It seems reasonable. You Ruo, although you are the elder brother and want to save people, you should listen to Wen Ruo's opinion more."

Xun Chen was silent for a moment, bowed again, got up and left.

Liu Xie walked in the supply camp, looking at the food storage one after another, frowning slightly.

"Does Weijun have so much food? It can't be that they have collected all the people's rations."

Yang Jun, the prefect of Xingwei County, replied: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister has ordered all counties to strictly investigate, and anyone who forces the people to pay more food to claim credit will be dismissed on the spot once it is found out. Relevant documents have also been sent to all townships to ensure that Every commoner knows how much food he should pay."

"How many household registrations does Wei County have? How much land?"

"Your Majesty is asking about the present, or the past?"

Liu Xie turned to look at Yang Jun. "Of course it is now."

"Wei County now has 11 households and 890 five people."

Liu Xie thought about it. "There are only a little more than four people in each household?"

Yang Jun nodded. "After the catastrophe, the elderly and the weak suffered the most casualties, and almost every family had new burials."

Liu Xie sighed.Behind this sentence is probably the tragedy of cannibalism.

Yang Jun went on to say: "When Wei County had the largest household registration, it was close to 70 households, or 50. If you count the hidden household registration, it should be around one million. Now there are less than 100 households, and there is enough land to be distributed. , the people naturally have more food to pay. What your majesty saw was collected according to the imperial court system. If there is still not enough, it should not be a problem to buy another [-] million shi at the market price. What I am worried about is only a large number of purchases. It will lead to an increase in food prices. Therefore, I suggest that Your Majesty can temporarily increase taxes, and after the capture of Yecheng, Wei County will be exempted from rent and taxes for several years as compensation, so that the people can enjoy themselves with Your Majesty."

Liu Xie smiled and didn't answer Yang Jun's topic.

100 million shi, enough to feed 10 people for two months.Considering that it is not only Wei Jun who supplies the army, Wei Jun actually only needs to supply 6 or 100 people, and [-] million shi can increase by four months.In addition, those who have already been transported to the camp can maintain the army for another year.

Yecheng can't wait for a year.

If it is exhausted, Yecheng can still hold on for half a year.

Yang Jun said this because he wanted to fight for welfare for the people of Wei County, and to exempt them from taxes for a few years on the grounds that the monarch and his ministers had fun together.

It's not that he can't give this face, but he has to leave it to others.

Yang Jun is only temporarily acting as the prefect of Wei County to prove his ability.Now that the goal has been achieved, Yang Jun can be transferred away.

The prefect of Weijun has promised to Kuai Yue, and he can't break his promise.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to buy Jingzhou's people's hearts and make Jingzhou bleed more.

No matter how much food there is in Wei County, and no matter how enthusiastic the people are, they cannot exhaust their resources.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of Yang Qing's governance?" Liu Xie turned to ask Wang Duan.

Wang Duan's face was covered with oil and sweat from the sun, his head was dizzy, and he didn't care about distinguishing. He nodded repeatedly and praised Yang Jun for his ability.

Liu Xie said: "Such a talent is really rare, why not let him be Zhao Xiang, it can be regarded as my little care for Zhao Guo, how about it?"

"Of course, of course."

Liu Xie turned to look at Yang Jun. "Yang Qing, I have wronged you."

Yang Jun was overjoyed.

Although Zhao's household registration is not as good as that of Weijun, it is the hometown of the emperor's birth mother.Being able to go to the country of Zhao as a chancellor is the emperor's recognition of his ability.

Zhuge Liang, the emperor's confidant, served as the county magistrate in Handan.

"Willing to serve His Majesty."

Chapter 934

Liu Xie then asked about the increase or decrease of Wei Jun's household registration.

As far as he knows, after many years of war, Wei County should not have nearly 50 people.

Yang Jun was prepared and explained them one by one.

Only 30% of the current population of Wei County, about [-] people are natives of Wei County, and some of them are not registered at first, but are trilogy and tenants of big households, so-called hermits.Of the [-]% of the population that has recently increased, half are from the Black Mountain Army who have just settled down, and the other half are from Yanzhou.

Liu Xie knew about the settlement of the Black Mountain Army, so Yang Jun briefly stated a few statistics, and then focused on the people who moved from Yanzhou.

The war experienced by Yanzhou was more tragic than that of Jizhou, and the loss of household registration was also greater.After Taiping in Shandong, many people who had fled from other places returned one after another, only to find that Yanzhou did not practice Dutian. Except for Chen Liu, there were not many prefectures and states that tried Dudu.

Later, when I heard that the Son of Heaven was spending his time in Weijun, many people came to Weijun, and there were 10 people.

Some of them returned to Yanzhou last year, but they have not been resettled.

The more Liu Xie listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

He knew that Yanzhou didn't save the land.He forcibly spent the land in Jizhou, just to show Yanzhou.However, the Yanzhou people could not be resettled after returning home and had to flee to Wei County, which is a bit outrageous.

After the Great War, the population decreased drastically, and there was a lot of abandoned land, shouldn't it be easy to resettle?

Yang Jun explained that there is a lot of abandoned land in Yanzhou, but the real fertile land has owners.Most of those people have certain strength, otherwise they would not dare to stay in Yanzhou during the chaos.Taking advantage of a large number of people fleeing abroad, they took those fertile lands for themselves without spending a five baht.Now that these people are back again, if they want to get their land back, it depends on whether they have the strength.

After listening to Liu Xie, his hands felt a little numb.

He rubbed his fingers, resisting the urge to curse.

Lao Tzu is in Wei County, just across the river from Yanzhou, these bastards are still so unscrupulous.If I go back to Chang'an, how can they be lawless?

More importantly, there was no response from the court to such a blatant thing tomorrow.

If Yang Jun hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have believed that such a thing would happen.

"You write the situation of Wei County as a memorial and submit it, and I want to read it carefully."

"only."

-

When Liu Xie returned to the Chinese army, he ordered Kuai Yue to be summoned and informed him that he was going to take over as the prefect of Wei County.

Kuai Yue was overjoyed.

He acted with the army for more than half a year, and he didn't have any battles, just training all day long.Originally, he was waiting to take over as the prefect of Wei County, but when he learned that Yang Jun had become the prefect of Wei County, his heart sank.

Although the emperor allowed him to be the prefect of Wei County, the situation has changed and adjustments are common.

All of a sudden, the seal of Wei County prefect was in front of him, Kuai Yue was a little confused.

Liu Xie didn't say much to him, but just asked him to complete the handover with Yang Jun as soon as possible so that Yang Jun could rush to Zhao to take office.

Kuai Yue was overjoyed, and after thanking him, he rushed to see Yang Jun.

Hearing Yang Jun's introduction to the situation in Wei County, Kuai Yue was both happy and worried.

The joy is that Yang Jun has already dealt with most of the troublesome things, even this year's autumn grain has been collected.As long as he has Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, he can be a stable prefect.

What is worrying is that Yang Jun has done so well. If he wants to impress the emperor, he will be able to make further progress in the future. The difficulty is really not small.

After thinking about it, he found Pang Tong.
