Chapter 951

Zhong Yao did not object to saving fields, but he opposed forcibly saving fields.

No matter how justifiable the reason is, forcibly saving land is plundering, and it is the imperial court using its power to rob the people of their wealth.

Can improper means achieve legitimate goals?

Today, we can rob the wealth of the rich and powerful to appease the people, but will we rob the wealth of the people for some reason in the future?

Compared with rich and wealthy people, ordinary people have no ability to resist, and can only allow the imperial court to expropriate and extort.

He has always been in favor of Xun Yu's governance in Hedong.But the situation in Shangdang is different from that in Hedong.The Black Mountain Army was much larger than the Baibo Army, and Shangdang did not have enough land to house them.After losing patience, the Montenegrin Army finally broke with him, and some returned to Montenegro.

When he received Yu Du, Kuyi and others to accept the emperor's edict and resettle in Jizhou, he knew that his efforts were in vain, and the emperor was very dissatisfied with his actions.

Xun Yu and Xun Chen rushed to Xing Zai and sent him a message, and he is now waiting for Xun Yu to see the result of his driving.

Regarding Zhang Zhao's attempt to implement moral government in Bohai, he has not received any news.

Recently, the focus of his attention is the personnel arrangement after the emperor pacified Jizhou, and the placement of Ruying people.

It is no secret that the Son of Heaven has reservations about Ruying people.

Now that Yang Biao came here in person, he didn't know whether it was Yang Biao's personal choice or the emperor's order to visit Shangdang in private.But Yang Biao wanted to transfer him to work in Bohai to assist Zhang Zhao, which was exactly what he wanted.

If you can't govern with conscience, what if you live in an official residence for two thousand stones?

Instead of this, it is better to go to Bohai to be a county magistrate.

Zhong Yao didn't ask Yang Biao too much, and quickly wrote the memorandum. He asked to resign as the prefect of Shangdang, and asked to be transferred to Bohai.

With Yang Biao's mediation, it should be possible to avoid direct conflict with the emperor.

After talking about himself, Zhong Yao recommended Wang Can to Yang Biao.

Wang Can is a native of Shanyang, the grandson of the famous minister Wang Chang, and the son of Wang Qian. He once lived in Jingzhou.

Before Zhong Yao finished his introduction, Yang Biao laughed. "I know him, you let him come."

Zhong Yao burst out laughing and patted his forehead. "It's me showing my cowardice. Since Situ is Cai Bochi's old friend, how can he not know Zhongxuan's name?"

Yang Biao smiled and said, "Yes, I was there when he went to visit Cai Bojie and Cai Bojie greeted him backwards. It's a pity..." Yang Biao sighed. "Wang Zishi insisted on going his own way, killing Cai Bojie, and wanted to stop the slander, but he was self-defeating. In the future, he will inevitably leave a stain on the history."

Zhong Yao was a little surprised. "Situ, although the prince's teacher is right or wrong, he is a loyal minister of the court after all, and he has made great contributions to protecting the emperor. Isn't it taboo for the sages to write history in the court?"

Yang Biao looked at Zhong Yao. "Yuan Chang, you have been in Shangdang for too long. You have not grasped the essence of the emperor's administration."

Zhong Yao disagreed. "I also ask Situ for advice."

"Actually, it's just four words." Yang Biao raised four fingers and said word by word: "Seek truth from facts."

-

After the celebration banquet, Liu Bei and Sun Ce took the lead to bid farewell to the emperor, and led their troops back to Qingzhou and Xuzhou to prepare for the battle.

Immediately afterwards, Xun You, the guardian of Youyan, also led his troops back north to Youzhou.

He took Simpi away.

Xun Yan was dismissed by scholar Sun Rui, and served as the chief historian of archery in the Northern Army.

At first they were worried that the emperor would object, but Liu Xie readily agreed after receiving Shi Sun Rui's proposal.

Encouraged, more Ruying people sought to join the army.Guangluxun Ma Teng suddenly became the most popular guest, every day someone invited him to the banquet, which made Ma Teng so annoyed that he simply closed the door to thank the guests and refused to invite anyone.

Seeing that it was too difficult to join the Forbidden Army, the four generals on the front, back, left, and right became the targets, especially Dong Cheng, the right general.

Dong Cheng did not refuse anyone who came, and he received more than a dozen Ruying people in one go.

While the people of Ruying were looking for ways out, the people of Jizhou were not idle either.

Although Shenpei and Tian Feng committed suicide, and Zhang He, Gao Lan and others were all exiled, Ju Jun paid homage to the Qing, and Ju Shou worshiped the servant, which made the people of Jizhou breathe a sigh of relief.Those who had nothing to do with the battle of Yecheng sought to become officials one after another. Some joined the army, some joined institutions like Jizhou Yinfang, and more joined the prefect's mansion and county temple as officials.

These news reached Liu Xie one after another through different channels.

Liu Xie has not made a statement, just watched quietly.

After confirming that the emperor did not object, the people of Jizhou became more motivated to become officials, and the hearts of the people of Jizhou quickly stabilized accordingly.

As if everything was back on track.

Only a few people know that Jizhou can never go back to the past, and they will soon usher in a great change.Whether it is rising or falling, it may be on the line.

Jushou is one of them.

After worshiping as a servant, he quickly became the contact person in charge of Bohai affairs because of his familiarity with the situation in Jizhou.The emperor sent him to Bohai to cooperate with Zhang Zhao to find out how much arable land Bohai had, how many household registrations there were, how many people wanted to move out, and how many people who wanted to move in could be resettled.

This is a big project, and I am so busy that I feel dizzy and dizzy.

Jushou is like this, let alone Zhang Zhao who is in charge.

He originally thought that this matter was not too difficult, as long as the paperwork was issued, someone would apply to move in soon.But half a month after the paperwork was issued, almost all the people who moved out had left, and there were not many people who applied to move in.

Zhang Zhao was puzzled, but after asking, he found out the reason.

Bohai can indeed arrange land for those who move in, but it cannot arrange their houses.

The people who moved out vacated the land, but they had no houses to speak of.Those dilapidated houses of theirs cannot enter the eyes of aristocratic and powerful families at all.Moving to the Bohai Sea, and the loss of the house is no small matter, few people can make up their minds.

This annoyed Zhang Zhao.

Is the appeal of benevolent government so pitiful that they are unwilling to pay even this little price?

Zhang Zhao found Jushou and asked him what to do.

Jushou was also a little surprised.

When the Dutian was announced, there were so many voices of opposition. Why are so few people responding to the Bohai decree to stop Dutian?

Although the loss of the house is not small, compared with the land, the land must be more valuable.Why would some people prefer to be forced to spend their fields rather than move to Bohai?

Puzzled, Ju Shou took the initiative to visit several houses to find out why they refused to move.

The result is ridiculous.

It's not that those big families and aristocratic families are unwilling to move, but their tribes and tenants are unwilling to move.

The trilogy and tenants not only refused to move, but also demanded to restore their freedom.With a free body, they can go to occupy famous fields, who would like to go to Bohai Sea with the head of the family, and continue to be part-timers and tenants.

Anyway, I have to pay taxes, so why don't I hand them over to the court?

The imperial court received less.

Out of such worries, these aristocratic families and great clans did not dare to act rashly, knowing that the stalemate would result in heavy losses.If there were no parts and tenants, even if Bohai compensated them with land, they would not be able to cultivate it.

After learning about these situations, Zhang Zhao was speechless.

In desperation, he had no choice but to ask Liu Xie for an order, hoping to adjust the plan and expand the range of relocation from a few nearby counties to the whole world.

Given the size of the world, there are always hundreds of households who don't care about the price for good governance, right?

With Zhang Zhao's upper form, Ju Jun hurried back to Yecheng.

Chapter 952

Zhao State, Handan.

Zhao Prime Minister Yang Jun and Handan Commander Zhuge Liang stood side by side by the side of the road, looking around from time to time.

A group of officials stood together, talking softly, both excited and nervous.

More than a dozen carriages were parked in the distance, servants and maidservants stood in front of the carriages, and occasionally one or two pretty faces could be seen in the carriages.

Wang Duan's wife, Mrs. Zhang, was sitting in the car with a gloomy face and a very bad mood.

As the granddaughter of the famous official Zhang Yu, she married Wang Duan because she fell in love with Wang Duan's identity.As the emperor's cousin, Wang Duan was supposed to be young and wealthy, and he was the object of countless people's pursuit.But she never expected that in order to make it easier for Zhuge Liang to carry out the New Deal, the emperor actually kept Wang Duan in Xingzai, and the land occupied by the Wang family was also divided up.

In this way, what is the difference between the royal relatives and ordinary people?

If I had known this earlier, why would I have married Wang Duan in the first place.With her family's background, it is too easy to marry a young handsome man who is stronger than Wang Duan.

The idea of ​​reconciling with each other appeared in her mind more than once, but she couldn't find a chance to mention it.

"Ma'am, someone is here." The maid outside the car said suddenly.

"Who is it?" Mrs. Zhang said angrily, stretched out her hand to lift up the corner of the car curtain, and took a look.

On the official road, more than ten riders galloped over. Although the knights on horseback were not wearing armor, but only in crimson single clothes, they had a vigorous posture and looked quite heroic.

"I don't know." The maid hesitated for a moment and was suddenly surprised. "Ma'am, it seems to be a prince."

Mrs. Zhang had already put down the car curtain, but she couldn't help being startled when she heard this sentence, and raised the car curtain again to take a closer look.

This time, she finally saw clearly.

The young knight surrounded by two knights was indeed Wang Duan.It's just that she has lost a lot of weight, which is far from the bloated look in her impression.And the way he was riding a horse was something she had never seen before.

Wang Duan's grandfather, Wang Baoguan, can be regarded as a martial artist, but Wang Bin, Wang Duan and his son have never paid much attention to martial arts.In Jizhou, where martial arts are popular among the people, even compared with ordinary people, his physical fitness is considered poor.

But the Wang Duan in front of him was a different person, he was as stable as Mount Tai on the galloping horse.

Zhang's eyes couldn't help showing a smile.

Wang Duan, who had lost a lot of weight, made her eyes shine, and she was quite heroic.

Just as they were talking, Wang Duan and others had already arrived in front of Yang Jun and Zhuge Liang.He reined in his mount, got off his horse, and greeted Yang Jun and Zhuge Liang.After saying a few words, he walked over quickly again.

Although he couldn't hear what he said, looking at his behavior, Mrs. Zhang was very satisfied.

Although Wang Duan is a relative of the emperor, he has never had much self-confidence. When talking to others, he is submissive, embarrassed, and can't even straighten his waist.Now he is calm and unhurried, with every move of hand and every shot, people dare not underestimate him.

"Ma'am." Wang Duan came to the front of the car and glanced at Mrs. Zhang through the window, with a timid look that Mrs. Zhang was familiar with.

Mrs. Zhang was a little disappointed, and her joyful mood just now faded.

"Is the emperor coming?"

"I'll be there soon." Wang Duan glanced back, then swallowed, and said softly, "I'll see you later, be careful and don't talk nonsense."

"What else can I say?" Mrs. Zhang gave Wang Duan a dissatisfied look. "The fields at home have been divided, we are just an ordinary family now, how dare we act presumptuously in front of the emperor."

"Don't say that." Sweat broke out on Wang Duan's face. "The emperor came to Zhao country this time to see my aunt's childhood home. If you lose his interest..."

Zhang was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes became lively. "In that case, why not invite him to stay at the Wang family?"

"No." Wang Duan muttered, not daring to look into Zhang's eyes.

When he learned that the emperor was going to inspect Zhao, he really thought about asking the emperor to stay at Wang's house, but he never dared to mention it.

Just like at this moment, he dared not explain the whole story to Mrs. Zhang.

Seeing Wang Duan's embarrassment, Zhang became more and more upset, and regardless of Wang Duan was still outside the car, she put down the curtain of the car with a "shua".

Wang Duan scratched his head in embarrassment, turned around and left, standing with Yang Jun and Zhuge Liang.

Strange to say, after leaving the carriage, Wang Duan's back straightened inexplicably, and his self-confidence was restored.

Mrs. Zhang looked through the gap, annoyed and annoyed.

After a while, a column of cavalry galloped along the official road, two people in a row, passing in front of Yang Jun and others, and continued to move forward.

First ordinary cavalry, then Habayashi cavalry.

In the Yulin riding, Zhang and others saw the female riding.Looking at those female knights sitting on horseback, as heroic as men, many people let out a low cry.Mrs. Zhang was also envious, and forgot Wang Duan for a while.

The team stopped slowly, and Liu Xie and Ma Yunlu came side by side.

Yang Jun and Zhuge Liang stepped forward side by side and bowed their hands in salute.

Mrs. Zhang also got out of the car, tidied up her appearance, and became inexplicably nervous.

She saw Liu Xie.

Although Liu Xie was young, a few years younger than Wang Duan, his complexion was slightly dark, and he was not angry and majestic.Even Ma Guiren next to him walked vigorously and majesticly, looking at people with a three-pointed murderous look, which made people shudder.

Mrs. Zhang waited for a while, watching Yang Jun, Zhuge Liang and others salute and exchange greetings with the emperor, Wang Duan signaled, and then walked over.

"Concubine Zhang's family, I have seen Your Majesty and nobleman."

Liu Xie took a look at Mrs. Zhang, then at Wang Duan, and nodded. "As expected of a famous official, you have an extraordinary bearing. No wonder my cousin is in awe when he talks about you."

Mrs. Zhang blushed and almost gritted her silver teeth.

Wang Duan is really useless, why did he say everything in front of the emperor?

"Your Majesty speaks seriously. Between husband and wife, respect and love each other, and raise the eyebrows, why should we be in awe. My poor husband lost his parents early, and his words are inevitably inappropriate. Please forgive me."
