Han Dao world

Pang Tong laughed after hearing Kuai Yue's worries.

He told Kuai Yue that Yang Jun is indeed very talented, but the development of Wei County has just started, and there is still a lot of room for improvement, so you don't have to worry about having nothing to do.

The goal of the Son of Heaven is to achieve the kingly way.What is kingly way?It is not only that the common people live and work in peace and contentment, that the tiller has the land, the weaver has the clothes, and the seventy can eat meat, but also that the common people live a better life.Dutian is only the foundation, and it only solves the most basic food and clothing for the people.

How can we live a better life?For Wei County right now, the best way is to make full use of the land and increase grain production.

The land in Wei County can support nearly one million people, but now there are only 50 people, and a lot of land is abandoned.In order to utilize these lands, it is necessary to improve tools and increase production capacity.

To improve tools, it is necessary to build workshops, recruit craftsmen, and create more efficient agricultural tools.

These are things you can do.Don't worry, if you can complete a term of office within four years, you can increase the grain production by about [-]% every year. After four years, you will be a well-known capable minister even if you are not the prefect with the most meritorious service.

Of course, if you feel that four years is too long and you want to pay off now, you can write back and tell the township party in Nanjun the meaning of the new policy, so that they don't wait and see, and immediately follow the pace of the court.

For example, pay this year's taxes as soon as possible, and don't procrastinate.

For example, young people who want to become an official go to the line as soon as possible to participate in the selection. Don't put on the profile of celebrities and wait for the imperial court to recruit.The imperial court is vigorously promoting enlightenment, and there is no shortage of people.They want to show off, only to find out that no one cares about them.

Kuai Yue was like waking up from a dream, and thanked Pang Tong again and again.

He had to admit that he was really dull.Although people are walking, they turn a deaf ear to everything that is happening, and finally Pang Tong, a young man, is required to remind himself.

He immediately stated that he wanted to write a letter from home and ask his son Kuai Qi to invite relatives and friends to come here and serve the court.

Of course, the most important thing is to pay the taxes that should be paid in full, not to default, and to leave a handle.

If possible, it is best to make up all the previous debts, even if it is a part of it first.

-

The judge stood on the city wall, looking down at the city with a blank expression.

On the side of the flagpole, Xin Pi's elder brother Xin Ping was tied.

Xin Ping had been tied up here for two hours. The afternoon sun was so hot that his face was covered with oil and his clothes were soaked in layers of sweat.His consciousness was blurred, and he didn't even have the strength to moan.

The judge sighed. "It seems that Xin Ping alone is not enough, so let's bring his family along."

Shenying's face twitched, and she took a peek at Shenpei, but she didn't dare to refuse, she walked aside and waved her hand.

After a while, there was a burst of crying and shouting, and more than a dozen people were escorted by the soldiers, including men and women, old and young, most of them were terrified and lost their minds.Some struggled desperately, crying and cursing loudly, while others wept secretly.

Only a little girl about ten years old walked silently among the crowd without saying a word.

The judge could see clearly, was a little surprised, beckoned, and ordered someone to bring the little girl over.

"what's your name?"

The little girl quietly looked in front of the judge, bent her knees slightly, and saluted. "Xin Xianying. My father is taboo, and his name is Zuozhi."

The judge nodded. "I've heard your name. It's a pity, if your father doesn't show up before sunset, you will die here today. If you hate me, you can walk slowly on Huangquan Road, I should be there soon. When the time comes, you can take revenge again, you can kill or cut as much as you want."

Xin Xianying raised her head, looked at the judge, and suddenly smiled. "I'm young and a woman, so I'm afraid I won't be able to grab the opportunity."

Chapter 935 Turning enemies into friends

The eyesight of the reviewer shrunk. "As expected of Ruying's younger brother, you are really eloquent. Even though you are a girl, you are still the leader."

After a while, he laughed again and said, "I'll kill you first."

Xin Xianying bowed and saluted. "Thank you, Mr. Shen." After speaking, he took his mother's hand and walked forward.

A flash of anger flashed in the judge's eyes, he raised his hand, and was about to ask someone to kill Xin Xianying first, when a middle-aged woman rushed in front of him, blocked Xin Xianying behind her, and looked at the judge calmly.

"Shen Zhengnan, why bother with a child. If you want to kill, kill me first."

The judge stared at the woman for a moment, and she looked familiar, but couldn't call her name.

"who are you?"

"I was a daughter of the Xun family when I was young, but I was a wife of the Xin family when I grew up." The woman chuckled lightly, "Xun You, the governor of Youyan, is my servant. Is it more useful to kill me than a child?"

Senpei felt the disdain in Xun's eyes, anger rose from his heart, and the evil turned to the gallbladder.

"If I kill you, I will kill you. Do you think I dare not? You don't need to rob. If Xin Zuozhi doesn't show up, you will all die today."

He swept his eyes and saw the pale young man behind Xun. "Is this your son?"

"My son Xin Tao." The Xun family brought the young man over. "Ask the interrogator to be well."

Trembling, Xin Tao walked up to the judge, bowed and saluted, but was stuttering and unable to speak.

The examiner smiled, and gave Xun a meaningful look.

Xun Shi shook his head. "A boy is useless. He was once inferior to a woman. Everyone in the world respects men and regards women as inferior. Only the Son of Heaven respects men and women as equals. It can be seen that he is brilliant and cannot be compared with vulgarity." She smiled. "Using the strength of the nine clans, Shenjun is against the Son of Heaven. Although he is overconfident, he is also very courageous. It should be understood."

The judge's smile froze, and his cheeks twitched twice.

Shenying behind him was even paler, dripping with cold sweat, his eyes involuntarily glanced at Shenpei, and his lips trembled.

The emperor had an edict that if Shen Pei was willing to surrender, he and Tian Feng would surely die as the chief culprits, but the children of the Shen family and the children of the Tian family might escape death and be exiled overseas.If the judge refuses to surrender, it will be clan punishment, and they can only die along with them.

As a son of man, he should die with his father without hesitation.

But when he thought of the tragic consequences of Zhu Jiu Clan, he tried to persuade the judge to give up countless times, not to engage in unnecessary disputes, and to minimize losses as much as possible.

But he dared not.

He knew the judge's temper.Annoyed the judge, the judge will kill him first without hesitation.

"Judging Zhengnan." A loud shout came from below the city suddenly, and then footsteps sounded, and Xin Pi strode up, his head was covered with sweat, and his clothes were soaked and stuck to his body.

The judge laughed. "Xin Zuozhi, you are finally willing to show up."

"I rushed over when I heard the news." Sim Pi walked up to his wife and daughter, touched Xin Xianying's small face, and bowed to his wife. "It hurts you."

His wife's lips quivered, but no words came out.

Simpi walked up to Mrs. Xun again, and bowed down.

Xun's family bowed and returned the gift.

Simpi came in front of the judge, held his head up, and grinned. "I'm here. Do you want to kill now, or have a chat?"

Before Shenpei could speak, Shenying said first: "Ah, a gentleman promises a thousand gold. Since Jun Xin shows up, let him go first. If you can't reach an agreement, it's not too late to kill him."

Shenpei glanced at Shenying, but hesitated to speak.He waved his hand and signaled Shenying to put Xin Ping down and take them back to the prison together, then motioned to Xin Pi and said, "Let's go?"

"Dare not to follow orders." Simpi cupped his hands and followed.

With his hands behind his back, Shenpei walked slowly along the city wall, looking out of the city from time to time with gloomy eyes.

The autumn harvest is over, and the wheat fields are left with only stubble, like a bald scalp.

The imperial army besieged the city, and the judge watched the wheat ripen outside the city and did not dare to go out to harvest it. He watched helplessly as the emperor sent someone to harvest all the wheat.He had planned to let Zhang He and Gao Lan attack to prevent the emperor from harvesting the wheat, or to burn it directly, but Zhang He and Gao Lan politely refused.

Their reason was that after burning the wheat, the emperor still wanted to requisition grain, and it was the people of Jizhou who suffered in the end.

The reason was justified, but the judge suspected that they had ulterior motives, and they might have reached an agreement with the emperor.

This severely damaged his confidence in sticking to Yecheng, and he had to find a way to force Xin Pi to show up.

"The emperor's ultimatum, you should know, right?"

"Understood." Simpi nodded.

"If I have to die, I will definitely take you with me."

"It's my honor." Simpi said with a smile, "I didn't have the same heart and mind when I was alive, but I might be able to share my heart and soul after death."

The judge turned to look at Simpi, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth. "Do you think it's possible?"

Simpi sighed. "A lesson from the past is a guide for the future. Ruying people and Jizhou people did not get along, which made the good situation fall short, and both sides suffered. Isn't this lesson tragic enough?"

The judge sneered. "It's not easy to hear this sentence from your mouth."

"Although I'm not sensitive, I can correct my mistakes when I know it." Xin Pi stopped, looked at the camp outside the city, and lightly patted the battlements twice. "Of course the Son of Heaven is the hero, but if it wasn't for the disagreement between you and me, he wouldn't have won so happily. He could have caused Ruying people and Jizhou people to kill each other, so he must be very proud at the moment."

The judge also stopped, and stood a few steps away from Simpi.

After a while, he said quietly: "If I am willing to surrender, can he let my Shen clan go?"

"It's hard to say, I just know that what he hopes most now is that you kill all of my Ruying people first, and after the city is broken, the Ruying people will kill you all of your Jizhou people in the name of revenge. He definitely doesn't want you to surrender, so don't expect him to easily agree to let your Shen clan go."

Simpi was silent for a moment, and then said: "But the possibility of killing the Jiu Clan should not be great."

The judge clenched his fist in frustration, and slammed it hard on the city wall. "Although this son is young, his intentions are vicious."

"I can also understand." There was a trace of bitterness in Simpi's eyes. "Xiaohuan and Xiaoling's Yin Jian is in the front. If you want to be an enemy of the world's scholars and officials and win the battle, how can you do it without a plan. At the beginning, the ancestors wanted to save the land, but in the end it was nothing. After that, all the emperors were powerless. Thinking of this matter being done by him, it is God's will."

The examiner turned his head and looked at Simpi, hesitant to speak.

He could feel Simpi's helplessness, just like his own.

In front of the emperor, they are all losers.

There is no exception for the scholar-bureaucrats in the world, no matter whether they follow the emperor or fight against the emperor.

"Is there still a connecting flight?"

Simpi was silent for a long time. "Maybe there is, but you and I can't see it."

"What turnaround?"

Simpi slowly turned his head to meet the judge's eyes. "Dare to ask the judge, is the origin of the scholar-officials longer, or the origin of the emperor?"

The judge's eyes flashed. "Of course they are scholar-bureaucrats. The emperor is only a few hundred years old."

"Yes, the emperor is only a few hundred years old, but the scholar-bureaucrats have existed since three generations, and the torch has been passed down for thousands of years. If Zhang Liang, Lu Jia, Jia Yi, and Dong Zhongshu hadn't succeeded one after another, how could the Liu family be emperor? Hundreds of years Come on, the emperor was established because of the scholar-bureaucrats. Even if the emperor is a hero, how can he abandon the scholar-bureaucrats and survive alone? The four people are scholars, and it seems that divide and rule, but in fact it is just a temporary tactic."

He sneered. "This world, in the end, is still the world of scholar-bureaucrats, not the world of emperors."

Chapter 936

After a night of repeated weighing, the judge decided to accept the emperor's ultimatum and surrender the city.

The emperor's 10,000+ army besieged the city, even if he didn't attack, he could be trapped to death.

There is no suspense in winning or losing, and persistence is meaningless.Stubborn resistance will only make the killing heavier and the loss greater.

After writing the surrender form, the examiner commits suicide by committing suicide with his sword.

After receiving the news, Tian Feng also committed suicide.

Yuan Xi had been waiting for this moment for a long time. After receiving the news, he immediately took over the defense of Yecheng and ordered people to set up a white flag.While mourning for Shen Pei and Tian Feng, they cut off their heads and sent them out of the city together with the Jiang Biao.

At Xin Pi's suggestion, Yuan Xi surrendered to Sun Rui, a Marquis of the Northern Army.

When Sun Rui received the news, he sent someone to report to the emperor urgently, and at the same time accepted the surrender.

Seeing Tian Feng's head, Ju Shou burst into tears.

He knew that there was no reason for the death of the judge, but Tian Feng was dragged down by the judge.He had retired to live in seclusion, but was forced out of the mountain by the judge, got into the muddy water, and lost his life in the end.

With Tian Feng's intelligence, he could have done something.

Sun Rui is the happiest.

An imminent war was avoided, and thousands of soldiers were not sacrificed in vain.As for his personal honor, it is nothing compared with these.

What's more, he felt that although he was over half a hundred years old, he could still fight for another ten years, and there were plenty of opportunities to make meritorious deeds.

Half a day later, the emperor replied with an edict, accepting Yuan Xi's request to surrender, and everyone dealt with it according to the established policy.

Shen Pei and Tian Feng are dead, so there will be no further investigation.The people of the tribe did not serve as official slaves, and their family property was confiscated.All Chinese and martial arts in the city will be exiled overseas if the price is more than [-] shi. The specific location is to be determined.Others waited to reorganize on the spot.

After receiving the edict, Simpi was the happiest.

The Ruying people have been imprisoned by the judges all the time, they are the hostages of the judges, and have nothing to do with the rebellion, so they are not exiled.

Only Yuan Xi was not spared.

But Yuan Xi is not at a loss.In order to save his mother, he entered the city at risk, joined hands with Xinpi, and finally persuaded the judge to give up the choice of dying together, and there are countless survivors.Although he could not escape the punishment of exile, he also won a good reputation.

The edict of exile has not yet been issued, and many former officials of the Yuan family have expressed their willingness to accompany him in exile.

Shi Sun Rui entered the city, took over the city defense of Yecheng, then made a roster, and rushed to meet him.

-

Liu Xie put down the roster in his hand, raised his hand, and glanced at Shi Sun Rui.

"Mr. Shisun has worked hard."
