The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

[Summer supper is full of candles, and cigarette butts are piled up with old shadows. After writing, I shyly asked the spectators, in exchange for no money in my sleeves? To two hundred votes and two more]

The Han Dynasty inherited and improved the government of the previous generation, and had a complete set of relief and governance methods for the refugees.

First of all, we need to provide food and clothing, take out loans to grow grain, buy medicines, and reduce taxes and labor.

For refugees who come from other counties, the local counties should "give those who are cold with clothes" and "open the government and Tibet to help them." If the refugees leave their roots in other counties or return to their own counties, the locals must "fake public land, loan crops and food, and don't count on it." "Fake public land" is to lease the land owned by the officials to the refugees; These measures, such as tracing their origins, are mostly inherited from the disaster relief system of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

In the Western Zhou Dynasty, there were officials who were specially responsible for disaster reduction and relief work, and a systematic disaster relief method had been formed, which was called "Twelve Famine Administration". Profit, thin levy, and force. Sanli means lending food and seeds to disaster victims, and Bo Zheng and Chili means reducing or exempting victims’ rent, levy, and corvée.

Second, get the flow.

That is, all counties and counties with refugees in the territory can take measures to encourage refugees to account for the "number" of registered residents, so as to convert them into households.

Again, post-disaster relief.

Mobilize local gentry and tycoons to "import millet into officials", encourage large households with money and grain to participate in disaster relief, and publicly commend or award higher titles to those who donate money and grain to aid the government in helping the refugees.

In addition, there are measures such as immigration and rice removal. However, such as immigrants and milleters, they are all arranged by the central government, and local counties and counties are powerless. The county can do mainly the first three.

Xun Zhen looked at Luo Xue outside the hall and thought about it in her heart, thinking, "If you don't kill thousands of rioters, in order to prevent them from repeating chaos, you can only put them in place, but the county government is short of food, and it can only be done every two days. For porridge, there is no need to think about 'loan seeds and food'. Zhao County has many mountainous areas and few official fields. Even if these refugees are willing to take up the 'name' and change to the county's registered households, there is no 'public land'. Give them the fake, and you don't have to think about the fake public field."

"Fake public land" and "loaning crops and food" are not feasible. To resettle these refugees, it seems that the only way is "persuade relief".

However, he just borrowed grain from the big households in the counties, and then borrowed from them? I guess no one will come out.

After thinking about it, these thousands of refugees, no, tens of thousands of refugees in the whole county cannot be resettled.

In the hall, Handan Rong and Liu Bei are still arguing endlessly. One is for killing, and the other is for not killing. No one can persuade the other.

Seeing that Liu Bei was Xun Zhen's "virtuous brother", Handan Rong held back his anger and said to Xun Zhen: "Gai Wen won't reward him for merits, and he won't punish him if he's guilty, although Tang Yu still can't change the world. Lieutenant, my county Now there are tens of thousands of refugees. If you don't kill these thousands of rioters, you won't say that these thousands of refugees are very likely to cause chaos again. Just say that if the rest of the group acts the same way, what should we do? If you don't kill them, you will not be deterred. By."

"Xuande, Gongzai's words are reasonable, and you insist on not killing them, so do you have a way to settle these refugees?"

"If the lieutenant wants to attack Wang Dang, the military law department can restrain these refugees, and when the next year attack Wang Dang, they will be the forerunners, and let them take the blame and make meritorious deeds."

Handan Rong retorted: "These thousands of refugees are not all young and strong, and there must be many women, children, old and weak among them, how to use them to attack thieves? Moreover, even if they are all young and strong, the monthly ration of thousands of people is How much? Today, the lieutenant's camp has raised 5,000 infantrymen and 400 knights, and the daily consumption is very large. The food borrowed from the county lords a while ago is not enough for the long-term use of more than 5,000 cavalrymen. How can we support them? These refugees? Take a step back and say, even if you can support thousands of refugees, how dare you ask the meritorious officials, and can you afford to support tens of thousands of refugees in the whole county?”

"This……."

Two people outside the hall came in, but it was Xun You and Xi Zhi who heard the news.

The two of them came at the right time, Xun Zhen briefly explained the dispute between Handan Rong and Liu Bei, and asked him their opinions: "Zhicai and Gongda, what do you think should be done with these thousands of rioters? Or set it up?"

Xi Zhicai said without hesitation, "Would the county government have to wait until today if it had the ability to resettle the refugees? The county was short of grain and valley, and there were too many mountains and little land, so it was really unable to resettle the refugees." But he agreed with Handan Rong's opinion.

"Gongda, what do you think?"

"The heart of those who meritorious Cao Ren can certainly be praised, but with Yau's opinion, it seems that it is feasible for the main book to discuss."

"Xuande, what do you think?"

Handan Rong's rebuttal was reasonable and well-founded. In the final analysis, Zhao County lacked food and land, and even if he had the idea of ​​relocating refugees, it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Liu Bei had no choice but to say, "I understand the order from the lieutenant."

Xun Zhen made a decision, stood up to face the people, and gave an order: "Jun Qing, Bo Qin, A Deng, and Shu Zhi, each of you four will lead troops and horses, and go out to chase the stray people in all directions, and kill them without dying. Collect all the grain and goods they looted and deliver them to the county government."

Xu Zhong, Jiang Qin, Liu Deng, and Chen Dao received the order, turned around and strode out of the hall, and went to the camp outside the county to lead the troops in pursuit.

Liu Bei came from the bottom and knew the suffering of the people. He had sympathy for the refugees. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were able to make many military exploits and had been appointed officials early on. He fell to the ground and asked: "Yun Chang and Yide have been supported by the lieutenant since Bei came to Handan, but so far they have not made a single contribution. ashamed'"

Xun Zhen heard the song and knew the meaning of elegance, but before Liu Bei finished speaking, he said, "What? Yun Chang and Yide want to show their skills?" He called Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in, and wrote two military orders with a pen. After walking out of the case, he handed it over to the two of them himself, and said, "Then I wronged Yunchang to be Jun Qing's deputy, and asked Yide to be my uncle's deputy, so as to chase down the chaotic people."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei received the order and went out to chase Xu Zhong and Chen Dao.

Thinking of the thousands of refugees who died because of one of his military orders, Xun Zhen felt a heavy heart, and sighed and said, "Kill these thousands of people, and hope to live tens of thousands of them."

Xun You said, "What is the lieutenant thinking?"

"That's right. I plan to distribute all the collected grains to the counties to help the displaced people in the counties. I'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and discuss the matter with the Prime Minister."

Although the Yang family's food storage is abundant, it is not enough to raise tens of thousands of refugees, and it is far from enough to raise thousands of refugees. It must be known that it is only December, and there is still half a year before next summer harvest, so long, so many People, the Yang family's food is not enough. Xun Zhen also knew that this was not a solution to the root cause, but now, the only way to do it today is to delay it for a day, and raise it for a day.

He only hoped that by using the death of thousands of refugees as a shock, and then using the food of the Yang family to strengthen the relief, the combination of "domineering" and "kingdom" would prevent the remaining tens of thousands of refugees from causing trouble.

The officials outside the hall reported that Lu Guang came.

Xun You and Xi Zhicai were smart and agile, and both of them guessed Lu Guang's intention.

Xi Zhicai said, "As soon as the lieutenant said he was going to the prime minister's residence, the prime minister sent his son-in-law to invite the lieutenant."

Lu Guang entered the hall and said his intentions, which was really good. He was indeed invited by Liu Heng to ask Xun Zhen to go to the prime minister's mansion to discuss the disturbance of the people's livelihood.

It is an urgent matter for the refugees to rebel and destroy the Yang family. As the Prime Minister of Zhao, Liu Heng has long been reported to him.

Xun Zhen left Xi Zhicai to sit in the mansion, and ordered Xun You to give orders to Xin Ai, He Yi, Li Xiang and others who were still in the lieutenant's mansion. Do not stay after the order, and immediately go to the city to personally supervise the guards to raise their guard to prevent the refugees from acting indiscriminately. After arranging these things, he took Handan Rong and Liu Bei along with Lu Guang to the prime minister's residence.

In the prime minister's mansion, Liu Heng rubbed his hands around the hall. When he saw Xun Zhen coming, it was as if he had seen a savior. Did you hear it?"

"I have sent people and horses out of the camp to pursue the rioters."

"In addition to the thousands of rioters, there are thousands of refugees outside the county. We must prevent them from attacking our county!"

"I have also ordered Gongda to personally command the defense of the city."

Xun Zhen, who was chasing the chaotic people and defending the city, was all set up properly. Liu Heng breathed a sigh of relief. Then he remembered that he invited Xun Zhen, Handan Rong, and Liu Bei to sit down. Said: "I can't believe that such a refugee would be so daring and lawless! Lieutenant, you must not be soft on these rioters, you should kill them all."

"Xiangjun, it's okay to kill thousands of these rioters, but there are still tens of thousands of refugees in the county, but they need to be helped!"

Liu Heng smiled bitterly and said: "The county government is really out of food. The neighboring counties are also short of food. I wrote back and forth for Wei, Julu, Changshan and other counties to ask for and borrow grain, but none of the counties have surplus grain. My county is also. Julu County has written a text for me to ask for food."

"Julu in Jizhou suffered the most during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the shortage of food was also the most serious."

"Isn't it? The territory of Julu County is now full of thieves, and the county and township are restless day and night. In order to prevent thieves, the city gates of the counties in the county must be closed early before it gets dark. The situation in Wei, Zhongshan and other counties is not the same. Optimistic, it is also a group of thieves who are always infested. The dead bodies are exposed in the wild on the wild roads, no one can take the funeral, the village pavilion is empty, the pedestrians are gone, like a ghost. Among the counties in the state, only Changshan and our county are better. If there are soldiers and horses, my county is because of the presence of a lieutenant. If I were a lieutenant, I am afraid that my county will also suffer from thieves."

Liu Heng was the prime minister of a country. He had his news channel and knew more about the situation of the counties in the prefecture than Xun Zhen.

Jizhou is the birthplace of Taiping Road, and there are many believers. After the chaos of the Yellow Turbans, there are many dead people, and many people who survived and reunited to become thieves. Although Huangfu Song was sitting in the prefecture to govern Gaoyi, and dispatched horses and cavalry to station in Bohai and other counties, this could only calm the overall situation and prevent chaos in the state. The county seat, sit back and watch the chaos outside the county.

It was not long before Liu Bei arrived in Handan. On his way to Handan, he saw the fierce thieves of various counties and counties in Jizhou along the way. He was also the guard of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Deeply aware of it, he sighed: "The great chaos in Jizhou will be settled, and the thieves will rise again. How can there be no refugees?"

Liu Heng glanced at him, nodded yes, and said, "Speaking of refugees, my county is not the first one, Julu, Zhongshan and other counties have recently experienced disturbances among refugees."

Probably because Xun Zhen responded in a timely manner and handled the disturbance of the refugees properly, Liu Heng was no longer worried about the safety of Handan, and became interested in chatting, and said to Xun Zhen: "Have you heard of the lieutenant? Cai Zun, the new Zhongqiu commander, a few days ago. It was just being killed by the rioters.”

"The new Zhongqiu Ling? Cai Zun?"

"Isn't Wang Jin of Bohai dead? The court has appointed Cai Zunji of Bohai as the commander of Zhongqiu. Does the lieutenant know this person?"

"I don't know."

"This person is also a famous scholar in Jizhou. He is strong and brave, and has the reputation of being a good chivalrous person. Unfortunately, on the way to take office, the road passes through Julu.

Xun Zhen was quite speechless.

It has only been more than half a year, and three Zhongqiu Ling have died one after another. The first one died in the Yellow Turban chaos, and the last two died on the way to office. The one who died in the chaos is nothing, but the two who died on the way to office are really surprising. The former had the literary name of Minghui, but did not reach Zhaojing, and died on the way, the latter had the martial name of a good chivalrous person, Fang Zhi. Julu, harmed by the rioters, has not even seen the county seat of Zhongqiu.

"Then Julu is now?" Xun Zhen has been focusing on training new pawns for a while now, and doesn't pay much attention to the affairs of the counties in the state.

Liu Heng replied: "The prefect of Julu borrowed the elite soldiers from Dezhou, and killed more than 3,000 chaotic people, and the chaos has been pacified."

Xun Zhen nodded and said in her heart, "The thieves are swarming in every county, there are floods of refugees, and General Huangfu is still there, and chaos has been raging one after another. To form combat power as soon as possible, and defeat Wang Dang as soon as possible." The Yang family has been destroyed, and the trouble ahead is only Wang Dang.

He was not in the mood to gossip, so he brought the topic back to business and said, "The Yang family has a lot of grain, which was plundered by the rioters this time. Mr. Xiang, after the grain is collected, I intend to distribute it to the counties. To help the refugees in various counties. Does the minister think it is possible?"

"The whole Yang family has been destroyed, and these grains are no longer owned. This arrangement is very good."

Liu Heng is not a greedy official. If he was a greedy prime minister, how could he be willing to help the refugees with so much food?

However, he is not a greedy official, but he cannot guarantee that there will be no greedy officials who handle the affairs under him~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In all the food relief, a large number of greedy officials used their hands to fill their private pockets, or deducted the food, or filled it with chaff. Entering the porridge, or neglecting the duty, neglecting the duty, for example, in the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Andi in the early Yuan Dynasty, the capital and neighboring counties were rained for days, and the rain caused disasters. The imperial court provided relief to the victims. History is negligent, and there is no one-handedness.” In order to prevent such phenomena from occurring, county officials had to be dispatched to each county to supervise and inspect.

Before that, Liu Heng had sent a group of officials from the prime minister's government to inspect the counties. Affected by the disturbances caused by the refugees, Xun Zhen felt that he needed to strengthen his efforts and said: "The counties are afraid that there will be corruption and illegal acts, please also ask. Chancellor again selects an official who is clear and strong, and goes to the counties to supervise."

Liu Heng glanced at Liu Bei again, and said to Xun Zhen with a smile, "The lieutenant's mansion has its own officials who are scrupulous and strong, so why should I choose?"

"What do you mean by Xiangjun?"

"Liu Gongcao is an excellent candidate."

Liu Bei came to visit Liu Heng the day after he took office. I don't know if it was because the two had the same surname, or because Liu Bei was born with a relationship. Liu Heng had a very good impression of him, but this was taking the initiative to give Liu Bei a chance to let him Ability to perform.

Xun Zhen did not expect that Liu Heng would say such a sentence, and was stunned for a moment, and said: "Relief of food, civil affairs, supervision and inspection, and official affairs are not the authority of my lieutenant's residence, and it seems that it is not appropriate to use Xuande. "

"What's so difficult about this! My next letter will be based on the meritorious Cao of my house, and the lieutenant's meritorious Cao will be the assistant."

Although Xun Zhen was reluctant to let Liu Bei go out, Liu Heng said all of his words. Gu saw Liu Bei looking eager to try again, but it was not easy to say no more. He hid his thoughts and asked Liu Bei with a smile: "Xuande would like to Will you take this responsibility?" (To be continued)
