Han Dao world

He was a little worried.The lack of rain in spring and summer this year has affected the growth of wheat seedlings, and the harvest this year is a little lower than last year.

Liu Xie was surprised.

Although the grain from Hedong has not yet arrived, he has already received the relevant documents.The grain tax paid by Hedong is not less than last year, and even a little more.

Especially the money, nearly [-]% more than last year.

"Your Majesty, there are two reasons for this." Xun Yu explained: "One is that the people are grateful to His Majesty and hope to help His Majesty, so we still pay according to last year's amount. Second, although the wheat harvest this year is not good, the sericulture has achieved a lot. The harvest is rich, and the mulberry alone has collected nearly [-] shi, which can replace a lot of grain. Now every household has mulberry, and the women work in the weaving workshop, and the harvest is no less than that of farming, and there are naturally many taxes.”

Speaking of these, Xun Yu was in a good mood. "Because planting mulberry and silkworms is profitable, the rich families in Hedong also understand His Majesty's foresight. Many people took the initiative to save the land and handed over the excess land to make up for the rent in previous years. Now the river is full of money and food, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. All are given by His Majesty."

Liu Xie ordered people to take out the documents of Hedong County and read them carefully again.

To be honest, he was somewhat disappointed.

Xun Yu's ability is nothing to say, but his position is still problematic.After so many years, those big families in Hedong still occupy the extra land.Now seduced by interests, some people, in pursuit of higher profits, took the initiative to show favor to the court and handed over a lot of land. Xun Yu was very satisfied and even came to him to show his merits.

In fact, very few people do this, and more people still occupy the land and want to have the benefits of sericulture.

"As the chief benefactor, Fu Yin has a long way to go." Liu Xie put down the paperwork. "It's a good time to come this time. Let's take a walk in Wei County and learn from each other's strengths."

As he spoke, he took out the "Wei Jun Du Tian Ji" compiled by Yang Jun, pushed it in front of Xun Yu, and patted it lightly.

Xun Yu, who was eloquent and eloquent, was a little embarrassed, closed his mouth embarrassingly, took the thick paperwork, and bowed to accept the order.

"only."

Seeing this, Xun Chen's heart tightened even more.

The Son of Heaven was dissatisfied with Xun Yu's achievements in Hedong, and even disdained to hide it, so he put it directly on his face and asked him to compare with Wei Jun.

Wei County has just recovered for half a year, so even if the political performance is good, how good can it be?

I don't know which cruel official, in order to please the emperor, regardless of the life and death of the people, levies and extorts violently.

Xun Chen wanted to say a few words of irony, but seeing the emperor's face, he swallowed it after thinking about it.

When we met for the first time, the emperor's impression of him was still in Yuan Shao's old department, so it's not good to speak too deeply.

-

After talking for less than half an hour, Brother Xun Yu said goodbye and left the account.

Liu Xie asked them to arrange accommodation for them.

After leaving the big tent, Xun Chen wanted to visit Cai Yan and Yuan Yu to learn about the progress of the compilation of "Dang Gu Lie Biography".Xun Yu stopped him, and clapped "Wei Jun Du Tian Ji" in his hand.

"The top priority is two things. One is to reunite with the family, and the other is to see the situation in Wei County. Everything else will be pushed back."

"Why?" Xun Chen was puzzled.

"Brother, don't you still understand? How many party members have contributed to the victory of Weijun Dutian and Yecheng? The party members either stayed away from the battlefield and watched from the sidelines, or they were waiting to be rescued in Yecheng. At this moment, you speak out for the party members , who will listen to you?"

Xun Chen's face suddenly collapsed.

"Understand the situation first, then argue, and don't engage in unnecessary disputes." Xun Yu smacked, and said: "If there is a chance, I would like to meet Yang Jun, maybe it will be beneficial."

"You know him?"

"He is a disciple of Bian Wenli (Bian Rang)."

Xun Chen was very surprised.

Bian Rang is a famous scholar and Confucian scholar from Chenliu, who obeyed the famous teaching. As his disciple, how could Yang Jun become a cruel official?

There must be something hidden here.

"Alright, I'll go with you when the time comes to meet this capable official."

-

After several rounds of consultations, the procedure for the surrender of the defenders of Yecheng was finally determined.

Shen Pei and Tian Feng are dead, and Yuan Xi has become the unyielding core.

At the prisoner offering ceremony, he went to the emperor's camp on foot from the south gate of Yecheng, with a white sheep in his hand and a rope around his neck.

His mother Liu Shi, wife Guo Shi and younger siblings all followed behind, all dressed in common clothes, without makeup, without any jewelry.

Then, there are civil servants and military generals such as Zhang Yun and Gao Lan. They go to the crown and cover up like Yuan Xi, but they don't need to lead the sheep.

Behind them was a group of captives composed of ordinary soldiers. They didn't need to remove their crowns or bare their flesh, but they were dressed in common clothes, with their heads bowed, and they followed step by step.

Many people were dissatisfied with the surrender. They felt that the condition was too harsh and it was better to fight.

But Shen Pei and Tian Feng had already committed suicide, and the group had no leader, so they didn't dare to say anything more.If you really want to annoy your teammates and be regarded as an obstacle to surrender, you may be hacked.

At this moment, walking in this humiliating team, many people looked fierce.

The closest to Yecheng were the troops of former general Duan Yan and Liu Bei, governor of Xuzhou.Just in case, and in order to participate in this prisoner offering ceremony, they all put on armor and weapons, and stood ready to prevent the prisoners from resisting.

Although it was early in the morning and the weather wasn't too hot, it was still uncomfortable to wear armor and battle robes. Many soldiers were so hot that their faces were covered with sweat.

But no one complained.

Especially Liu Bei's subordinates, who were once trapped in Pengcheng by the Jizhou army and defeated in field battles, knew the strength of the Jizhou army well.At this moment, they are the victorious side, escorting the Jizhou soldiers who are known for their elites, not to mention their satisfaction.

Looking at these soldiers with sweaty faces, still full of energy, and neatly lined up, the Jizhou Army couldn't help but click their tongues secretly.

Fighting against such elites, how much chance do they have?

Even if Shen Pei and Tian Feng survived, and the food in the city was sufficient, Ye City would not be able to hold on for too long.

After passing Duan Yan and Liu Bei's camp, Yang Feng and Dong Cheng took over the surveillance task and sent the captives across the Zhangshui tributary.

Han Yinding put on his armor, came to the riverside with Jiang Jiong and others, and led Yuan Xi and others forward.

They sat high on horseback, looked at the group of captives walking with their heads bowed, and laughed.

Han Yin laughed the loudest.

He often heard Han Sui say that when he went to Luoyang to make plans, he was ignored by Yuan Shao and others.Now, as the victor, he accepted the surrender of Yuan Shao's son together with the emperor, and he finally washed away his shame.

The only regret is that Yuan Shao himself died too early and did not appear in the team.

"Tsk, this woman is not bad." Han Yin's eyes lit up when he saw Queen Guo beside Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi's heart tightened, and Queen Guo couldn't help shivering.

Jiang Jiong coughed. "Young general, don't be rude. They are the emperor's captives. Even if you want them, you can only ask the emperor for a reward, and you can't snatch them yourself."

Han Yin laughed out loud. "Zhong Yi, what are you talking about? I am the general in front of the emperor, am I the kind of barbarian who snatches people when I see them? I just sigh with emotion. However, although this woman is good, she is still slightly inferior to Master Zhen. Inferior."

Queen Guo frowned when she heard this.

Chapter 939

Zhen Mi stood among the crowd watching the ceremony, quietly watching the winding procession.

Although the distance was too far, she couldn't see the person walking in front clearly, but she knew that it was Yuan Xi, and the figure beside Yuan Xi was his wife, Queen Guo.

It could have been her.

At this moment, she is very grateful to her uncle Zhang Hong.

If Zhang Hong hadn't heard the news that Zhao Yun persuaded Xia Houlan to go to Zhongshan overnight, she might have been forced to accept the marriage under pressure, and finally followed Yuan Xi in the procession of captives, being pointed at by others .

Now, she can sit on the high place chosen in advance, drink iced drinks, and watch the grand ceremony calmly, even with a bit of pride.

Yecheng collapsed without a fight, which has a lot to do with the Yinfang she presided over.

The literacy textbooks printed by Yinfang gave more people in Jizhou the opportunity to understand the imperial court documents, and made them feel the benevolence of the imperial court, knowing that the one who exploited them was not the emperor who wanted to save the land, but the noble family who regarded himself as a gentleman .Du Tian is not to harm them, but to give them the right to live.

The emperor is their fellow traveler.

Under such a trend of thought, the people of Jizhou eagerly paid for food, which solved the worries of the army in one fell swoop and made the long-term siege of the city possible.

At the same time, it also defeated the morale of the Yecheng defenders.

They are no longer fighting against the emperor, but against the whole of Jizhou, how could they have any hope of winning.

Zhen Mi has already received the news that she will participate in the celebration banquet as a meritorious minister.

"Fangzhu, is that... is Yuan Xi?" Xing Yong's wife, Mrs. Zhang, pointed to the approaching figure and asked softly.

"It should be." Zhen Mi nodded. "By the way, your husband Xing Jun has arrived in Chang'an, is there any news?"

Zhang smiled. "It's been a long time ago. Situ Yang and Sikong Zhou looked at his resume, and they were very fond of him. They wanted to make him an official. Unexpectedly, he became reserved and said that he would first look at Chang'an's official administration. Recently, in Taixue Running back and forth with Tongwenguan, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to write letters. In my opinion, he just has too much money, so he doesn't have to worry about making a living, and wants to take the opportunity to be lazy."

Zhen Mi smiled slightly. "Tai Xue gathers talents from all over the world. It is worth listening to the lectures on the Great Dao recently. Tong Wen Guan hosts the translation of Chinese and foreign classics, and it is also a good place to broaden your horizons. Xing Jun has high ambitions, and of course he will not miss this opportunity. You will send a letter next time." Time, send some more money. A man has no money in his hands, so he will inevitably look down on others, and he will not speak hard."

"He eats my food, drinks my food, and is still stubborn?"

"You can't say that." Zhen Mi covered her lips and smiled. "Men's face is still saved. If you really push them, maybe something will happen again. You don't know how much the emperor was criticized when he established women's cavalry in order to promote equality between men and women. Until Ma Du made meritorious service on the battlefield , the leader who beheaded the Red Sun Tribe fell to Lian Luoluo, so there were fewer criticisms."

Mrs. Zhang was very envious. "This Xiliang man is fierce, even a woman can mount a horse and kill an enemy."

She thought for a while, and then said: "No wonder the emperor left Shandong alone, first conquered Bingzhou in the north, and settled in Liangzhou in the west. The young hero is really different, and he grasped the key point at once. Now the army of [-] Bingliang is in hand , who in the world can fight against him?"

"Yes." Zhen Mi agreed, with a strange light in her eyes.

A humble sigh came from a distance: "Zhang Junyi is really rare. It is a pity that he has the appearance of a famous general, but he is humiliated like this."

Someone next to him said: "It's not that those Ruying people did it. They're good, they retreated, and I, the Jizhou people, are the only ones left to lose face."

"There are few real gentlemen among scholars, they are all full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and full of greed for money and profit."

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Bei Zhan couldn't bear it, and started to quarrel with others with a pale face.

Zhen Mi and Zhang looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing.

-

Liu Xieduan sat on the general platform.

The scorching sun shone on the armor, making it hot to the touch.

He was soaked as if soaked in water.The sweat is still flowing, and there is no time to dry it.

But he still refused to open an umbrella.

The emperor has a green umbrella, which can not only shade the sun, but also show the aura of the emperor.

But he refused.

In order to avoid accidents, countless soldiers are on high alert and fully armed.How could he wear an umbrella, wear a fan, or even drink iced drinks to cool down?

If you want to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, you must first share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers.

He didn't need to say anything, as long as he stood here, the soldiers in the camp would know that he was their son of heaven and their supreme general.

This principle is very simple, but few people can do it.

Easier said than done.Even he, who is well versed in the power of the people, is still suffering at this moment, and insists on sitting here with a breath of air.

Can the King of Future Generations do it?I don't know, it should be difficult.

A fast horse came slowly, and Han Sui on the horse's back straightened, more upright than before.

"General of the Fujun, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the captive Yuan Xi and his men and soldiers have arrived at the gate of the camp, please Your Majesty to review."

Liu Xie nodded, and Liu Cong on the side stepped forward and waved the flag in his hand.

"The Son of Heaven has an edict to send captives Yuan Xi and others into the camp."

In an instant, the drums were loud, and the crowd cheered, full of passion.

Amid the majestic military music, Yuan Xi and others walked into the camp step by step.

Walking for more than ten li is not a big problem for ordinary soldiers, but for Yuan Xi and others, it is undoubtedly an arduous journey. Most of them are exhausted, even worse than the white sheep in Yuan Xi's hands.

But at this moment, they dare not stop.

The majestic military music and the mighty soldiers all shocked their hearts and shattered their last bit of stubbornness. They were afraid that if they took a wrong step, they would end up decapitated.

Yuan Xi gritted his teeth, and walked up to the emperor step by step, kneeling on the ground.

"Criminal minister...Yuan Xi, pay homage to Your Majesty. The criminal minister is ignorant, incapable of controlling his subordinates, resisting the master of the king..."

Yuan Xi stammered his apology, then bowed three times, lying on the ground with his forehead pressed against the hot dirt.

Zhang He and others echoed in unison, shouting death penalty, also prostrating to the ground.

Still silent, Liu Xie waved his hand and ordered the official edict to be read out.

The terms were all negotiated before, and the only adjustment was to accept Shi Sun Rui's opinion, not to deprive all the trilogy of the generals from Jizhou, but to reserve some strength for them, so that they have the basis for overseas conquests.
