Untouchable.
Diaomin.
Mob.
??Mobs rioting around Xu County? !
In any case, the rulers of the ancient feudal dynasties did not use any good words when addressing the people. Even occasionally when they have nothing to do, they will claim to represent what the elders in their hometown are asking for, but they often use the name of the elders in their hometown to benefit themselves, and they turn to face the people and start acting official. When someone is in awe, they will immediately forget what they said before, what they swore, their faces will tremble, and their stomachs will bump, indicating that they represent the court and the government, but they will not mention that they previously said that they represent the people. .
Because the rulers of these feudal dynasties also knew very well that they indeed could not and would not represent the people.
The interests and pursuits are completely different, and they are not from the same group at all.
??After Cao Cao led his army to leave Xu County, was the largest military commander around Xu County the city gate commander of Xu County, or the captain of Xu County? In fact, it was not true. When Cao Cao was not in Xu County, Ren Jun was the highest military officer around Xu County, although on the surface he was just a small military commander.
Since the autumn harvest has ended and there are no important matters in the surrounding farmland, Ren Jun is naturally in Xu County. After hearing the news that there was a mob rioting outside the city, they immediately rushed to the city wall of Xu County.
Although Ren Jun is said to be a Zhonglang general, he is more of a civil servant. Perhaps because of the sudden incident, Ren Jun seemed to be wearing only a loose outer robe, standing behind the battlements, frowning at the fire in the distance.
What happened? Ren Jun frowned and asked, "Who is making the noise over there?" 』
Ever since the Hussars invaded Xu County, basically no major wars have occurred in Xu County. The people were making trouble, that''s not to say there wasn''t any, but it was the first time that they started making trouble outside the city instead of inside the city.
?Before Ren Jun went up to the city wall, he ordered his followers to go through the gates of Xu County. No one was allowed to open the city gates without his order.
?As long as there is no chaos inside the city and the lives of the emperor and officials can be protected from being affected, then there is no big problem. As for outside the city...
Love Zeze.
??But I still have to ask.
Just like the newly appointed officials in the feudal dynasty, according to the emperor''s requirements, when they take office, they always go to the countryside to inspect. They will summon the three elders and ask if there are any problems in life and production. If any of the three elders don''t open their eyes, really tell me If there was any problem, I would just smile and nod, and at most I would say something about going back to solve it, but when I got back, it would become nothing more than solving it.
??So many officials who were appointed before have not solved the problem, can the newly appointed officials immediately solve these sesame seeds and rotten millet?
?If the problem is not solved, the object of the joke will only be the blind old man. If it is solved, the object of the joke will be the newly appointed official.
So, asking questions without making a decision is basically the specialty of feudal officials.
If you don’t ask, you don’t care about the suffering of the people. No one can wear this hat. I asked but couldn''t solve it, then it''s not a matter of attitude, but the specific situation is too complicated and needs time to deal with. As for timeliness, it''s better to delay it for ten, twenty, thirty years, and the parties involved will be dead. This problem is not All gone?
whose is said to be... is...'' The city gate order on the side looked a bit hard to say.
Ren Jun glanced at the city gate order and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it!" 』
! ” The city gate order seemed to be angry, but his voice still lowered even after he spoke, “I heard that C... that young master went outside the city... and snatched a young lady outside the city, and that young lady’s husband happened to be The labor leader who built the canal..."
Due to problems with building materials in the Han Dynasty, most water channels were made of earth and stone structures. After a year of use, stones and slabs often fell off or silt accumulated. Anyway, after the autumn harvest, some labor was organized. Repair, and this canal is also related to the irrigation of the laborers themselves, so most of the time there is no problem.
"Hi! How outrageous! Ren Jun patted the battlements and looked very angry, "Why can''t you wait a few more days?" Such a pervert! 』
In a few days, these laborers will all finish their work and return to their homes.
?As soon as the queue of laborers dispersed...
As for robbing civilian girls, wouldn’t it be considered as robbing if you give them some money?
It doesn’t matter whether it is given beforehand or afterward.
What a big deal.
?Money is enough, uh, in place. Is there anything these days that money can’t solve?
If it can’t be solved even with money, then it’s a big problem.
Ren Jun had no doubt whether it was the son of the Cao family or the Xiahou family who did it. After all, not only did the second-generation eyes of the older ones begin to grow, but even the third-generation eyes of the older ones began to grow hair. It was the age when they were looking for excitement...
Even though Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun had organized a group of clan members near Qiao County before, they were in Qiao County, not Xu County. It''s like Hokkaido captured some gangsters, and then a certain group in Tokyo thought the sky was falling?
??The city gate commander glanced at Ren Jun, then at the fire outside the city, and remained silent.
In fact, Ren Jun still has a bit of a headache. It would be fine if it were a normal day. Nowadays, there is a lot of disputes around Xu County. He saw that a storm was coming, but at this time, something like this happened...
Come here! Ren Jun said in a deep voice, "If you pass the order, not only will there be a curfew tonight, but the four doors will continue to be closed during the day tomorrow!" No one is allowed to open the door without permission! If any thieves try to seize the door, they will be killed without mercy! 』
?Just by guarding the city gate, is it possible that these mobs can still cause chaos?
When he got tired of the trouble, he naturally retreated. It wouldn''t be too late to come back to arrest the leaders when the time comes. The more anxious you are, the easier it is to get confused.
??Anyway, the officials in the city have knives in their hands, money in their waists, and grain in their bags. The mob has no swords, guns, and money or grain. How can they fight against the government? Use Tianling to cover it?
??Without a single soldier, these mobs can be killed at any cost!
?Ren Jun sneered.
…щ(`ωщ)…
In Huang Wan''s mansion.
It is said to be a mansion, but it is actually not too big. Because on this street, there are countless houses that are bigger and more prosperous than his house.
The courtyard was deserted and deserted. There should have been some servants there, but now there were only a few people. There were no lights in the courtyard room, and there was only a faint flash of metallic brilliance in the corridors and stone slabs.
Huang Wan stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back and his back hunched over.
His back was originally straight, at least when he was young, but now it is bent and hunched. It seemed as if an ever-increasing burden was weighing on his shoulders, not only taking away his youth, but also imposing an ever-increasing burden on him.
Grandpa Huang Wan was a Sangong in his generation, and he is also a Sangong now. However, the Sangong at that time and the Sangong now are two completely different value systems. Just like the same one hundred yuan, in the early years, he could support four grandfathers. It''s not shabby, but now it''s a red light to raise one.
He once again ascended to the court in his old age. Why didn''t he want to burn his last remaining candle and light up a road? But he found that even if he tried hard to burn, it would be of no use.
Is the road he illuminates really the best direction for the big man?
? Even now, even if he wants to burn himself for lighting, others are unwilling and think he is nosy!
Huang Wan sighed.
He looked around again.
?This is Xu County. Perhaps if the emperor had not been here, he would never have come here in his life.
??So is it because the emperor has benefited Xu County, or is it because Xu County has carried the emperor?
?Xu County is not a very good capital city.
There are really no dangerous places around Xuchang, and Funiu Mountain and the like are not enough to serve as a barrier to Xuchang. The reason why Cao Cao chose Xuchang back then was because there were relatively many acres of land around Xuchang, which could be used to support him. Just a hundred officials. The most important thing is that it is close to Heluo. If we walk too far, one is afraid of walking into the mouths of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, or Tao Qian, and the other is worried that the food and grass will not be enough, and too many people will starve to death on the way. …
But as the imperial court came to stay, the number of officials began to increase, and the population around Xu County increased. The resulting population pressure gradually forced Xu County to ask for more farmland in the surrounding area. , more handicrafts, more used to serve the lower-class people of the government.
??How would the children of the officials and gentry, who don''t even know how to pick up a dung bucket, live without these untouchables in the eyes of the officials and gentry?
The population is increasing, but officials may not be willing to work more. So obviously, the officials who originally managed a hundred people now have to manage five hundred people. Can the number of affairs be the same? However, will Xu County officials increase their workload and speed up the processing of affairs? Don''t even think about it.
?So can increasing the number of officials solve this problem?
hehe.
There is something to say about the Song Dynasty.
The things that no one cared about or did before, no matter how many officials were added, they still have no one to care about or do. Few people who can become officials are fools. They all know that no one took care of the previous things, which were either useless or very troublesome. So will the new officials be willing to do things that are not beneficial or very troublesome?
Some fools still think that Shandong is good because there are not as many things in Guanzhong as there are in Shandong. They praise Cao Cao for his good governance, and then laugh at the three assistants of Guanzhong. Look at the hussar Fei Qian. He is really incompetent. After struggling for so long, he has nothing to do. What''s the point? Either there is something going on here or there is something going on over there. Look at Shandong, how nice and peaceful it is. Nothing happens! This is what we call capable officials and a peaceful and prosperous age!
Actually, is Shandong really Taiping?
Everything was covered up in the countryside, kept within the clan, and hidden in the files piled under the desks of officials.
If you don’t do anything, everything will be fine.
If you don’t solve the problem, there will be no problem.
Xuxian County is peaceful on the surface.
Now Huang Wan is about to break this false peace!
Huang Wan immediately wanted to tear off this rotten fig leaf and let the sour and smelly thing be exposed!
He is willing to use his own mansion, his own money, and his own life to uncover this false fig leaf and fulfill the emperor''s expectations for him!
??As long as you successfully agitate the people in the city, and then discover the missing money, they will immediately rob and cause a fire, and then spread to more official residences, isn''t it a normal development process?
When the time comes, look at these officials who say all day long that under Cao Cao''s governance, the world is at peace, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and Xu County is peaceful and peaceful, what will they say!
Just when Huang Wan clenched his fists and his body was trembling slightly, a voice sounded.
『Master, Mr. Jiang is here... Do you want him to come in? 』
Huang Wan was stunned for a moment and pondered for a long time, "Since you are here... please come." 』
The sound of footsteps was soft and close.
"Your Majesty, this method is inappropriate... Even if this mob can get close to the city, it will be difficult for them to accomplish anything..." In the shadow of the courtyard, a person said softly, "Now General Tuntian Zhonglang ordered the four gates to be closed tightly." Close, just because of these defenseless people..."
Huang Wan was startled. After a moment, he forced a smile and said, "Why haven''t you left yet, sir?" 』
? Officials who do nothing can usually make a living, while officials who do things often offend people. The more important things they do, the more people they offend, and in the end they may not even be able to eat.
?? Huang Wan wants to do such a thing, of course, he must be prepared to skip meals. He quietly dismissed several of his family members. He just said that he was old and was ready to imitate Cao Cao in resigning as an official, so he could no longer support them and asked them to leave.
??Minke, or Qingke, are actually similar. They flourished during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and then declined during the Han and Tang Dynasties.
?Of course, this decline only means that the law does not recognize the relationship between guest and master, and does not allow large-scale retainers. However, since ancient times in China, the law is the law, and the people are the people. Just like private lending, excessive interest rates are obviously not recognized by the law, but has private usury disappeared? Similarly, even in later generations, "clients" still exist, just like senior consultants raised by the boss of a company, which may be equivalent to "talkers" among the hangers-on. There are also "talkers" and "walkers". Assassin'', ''Written Guest'', etc...
? Huang Wan is not a military commander, so naturally he cannot have any troops, but he can still have some personal servants and retainers, and these retainers and retainers can also be used at critical moments.
It’s like the present moment.
There are actually Huang Wan''s servants, or confidants, both outside and inside the city. Relatively speaking, the retainers do not guarantee much loyalty, so Huang Wan did not let these retainers participate too much, but politely sent these retainers away He left, but to Huang Wan''s surprise, this guest did not just leave, but came back again...
The person in the shadow took a step forward and revealed his face.
??This man is slightly thin, with three strands of beard that are neither long nor short. There is a shrewd look in his eyes, "Your Majesty, even though you are not talented, you still know your loyalty!" Now that the king wants to implement the policy of persecuting the people and redressing the grievances of the people, Qian is deeply impressed... However, in this way, the king seems to be a little light on himself..."
"Since Mr. Jiang knows this," Huang Wan laughed, "why not use my head to find a future?" 』
Jiang Gan looked upright and said, "Why do you, Your Majesty, need to act like this?" Although Qian is dull, he still knows his loyalty. Now the emperor is in power and the emperor wants to take control of the world, but he is blocked by the traitor. This is the right way for the emperor to give authority to the emperor and return power to his majesty. It''s just that it''s too dangerous... Could it be... Your Majesty, you must never do this! Your Majesty... not to mention the current situation, you should cherish your useful life, how can you talk about life and death lightly? 』
Huang Wan smiled a little more and said, "In this case, sir, what do you think of this strategy?" 』
Jiang Gan looked back and saw some items scattered in the corridors and courtyards. There were even some coins thrown directly into the corridor. "If someone''s expectation is correct... the kings in this city should also have some." People either voice their grievances or make noises, and then...these belongings become like oil on the fire..."
"If there is chaos in the city, the emperor will naturally punish the officials who are guarding the city in Xu County..." Jiang Gan said, "Even if they are not killed outside the Meridian Gate, they can still seize the opportunity to seize the post of city guard... When Prime Minister Cao resigns, the emperor will definitely use it as a punishment." No, according to the etiquette, you need to express your gratitude in court... Therefore, if the emperor can take this opportunity to rectify the palace confinement and coordinate the soldiers... I think great things will happen! But Dong Zhongying’s old story! 』
lCao Cao is not in the city, and he has no time to come back like last time. As long as there is chaos, the emperor will have the right reasons to punish the officials around Xu County. Unfortunately, the person in charge of Xu County is Most of the surrounding officials are members of the Cao family.
Unless these Cao officials want to fall out with Liu Xie...
??But even if they wanted to fall out, Cao Cao was no longer present, so most of these people would not dance too fiercely. They must have felt that they could not bear their anger for a while and wait until Cao Cao came back.
But really waiting for Cao Cao to come back...
??Cao Cao''s resignation was originally intended to be a retreat in order to make progress, but by that time, it really became impossible to retreat without making progress...
During the three to four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, there were only a few generals with overwhelming power, but even fewer of them died well. Even if they survived to the end, their descendants would often be liquidated. Not to mention the recent generals He Jin and Grand Master Dong Zhuo, who have shown that no matter whether they have imperial troops or border troops, they will die without any ambiguity at all.
?Then adding a Han prime minister, what’s so surprising?
Huang Wan laughed, then raised his hands to Jiang Gan and said, "Ziyi is such a talented person, why do you need to accompany me on this road of nine springs?" Sir, he is so loyal to the Han Dynasty, the emperor will definitely use him in the future! But go quickly, go quickly! 』
Jiang Qian said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have a plan that can be both loyal and righteous and prevent you from dying in vain... I know that your Majesty is unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness, but Shandong is not the only place that is hindering the world!" Your Majesty died here, let alone what happened next, what if Chang''an followed the example of Liang Ji? By then, your Majesty will already be in a state of despair, and even if you have the intention, you will be unable to recover! 』
"This..." Huang Wan couldn''t answer for a while.
??If you have a lower sense of responsibility, you will say that you can''t finish things. I am already old, how many days can''t I enjoy it? These worries are left to the next generation to consider and do. Anyway, one generation can only do the things of one generation. But the problem is that if Huang Wan had no sense of responsibility, he would not have followed Wang Yun to fight Dong Zhuo before, and he would not risk his life to fight again now...
"Your Majesty, it is better to follow the plan of the Golden Cicada..." Jiang Qian said in a low voice, "I had to make friends with someone before, and he was the gate order of the south gate... This person is also loyal and loyal. He often secretly laments that he is angry and domineering towards the general and kills the grand master. Trouble with the Han Dynasty... If your Majesty can trust me, you might as well fake your own death to escape, go out through the south gate, go to Wancheng, go through Wuguan, and enter Chang''an! If the emperor needs it in the future, your Majesty will be able to respond! Death here is just a moment of loyalty. If the emperor can enter Chang''an and gather three loyal people to assist him, he will be able to achieve full success, and he will be of great benefit to the country! 』
"This..." Huang Wan hesitated.
Your Majesty, if Wu Zixu had not escaped at night, how could he have eliminated all the dangers of Chu? How can we correct him? "Jiang Gan said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, don''t lose the big for the small! 』
“Wu Zixu...” Huang Wan looked at the old trees in the courtyard.
?At this moment, a fire suddenly lit up in the city, and soon there were people shouting loudly about flooding, and it was extremely noisy for a while!
Your Majesty! Time waits not for us! Jiang Gan urged, "I''ve already found a substitute!" As soon as the king left, he looked for an opportunity to set fire to the corpse. The corpses were all charred and no one could find out! Your Majesty, please make a quick decision! 』
Huang Wan looked at the dancing firelight in the distance and sighed for a long time, "That''s fine!" Today, I will imitate the sages and rush to Shaoguan at night! 』
