Han Dao world

A Lang official came in to report.After a while, the emperor's oral order came out, calling Xun or to see him.

Xun Wenqian took her mother and brother to the prepared residence.

Liu Xie's harem is simple and has few rules.Xun Wenqian, Fu Shou and others lived in the same compound, and they couldn't see each other when they looked down, so it was naturally inconvenient to live with their families.Therefore, Liu Xie arranged a small courtyard alone, and anyone who has family papers to visit can temporarily live there and reunite with his family without going back to the compound.

The yard is mostly empty.

Fu Wan stayed in Chang'an to study and was too lazy to travel far, so he couldn't think of visiting Fu Shou at all.Xun He, Lu Bu, Dong Cheng and others each had official positions, and they couldn't get rid of them.Ma Teng is Guang Luxun, who has been with the emperor all the time, has his own mansion and tent, and does not need to live here.

In fact, even Xun or Lai Dynasty seldom lived here. They either lived in a post house, or borrowed Mrs. Tang's Yinfang, so that his wife Tang could catch up with Mrs. Tang.

This time the situation is a bit special, Xun may have to discuss important matters with Situ Yang Biao and others, living in the post house is too conspicuous.Yang Biao's original plan was to let Xun or live in Situ's mansion, but the emperor invited him, so Xun or simply accepted the guest and followed the master's order.

Although the yard is small, it is cleaned quite neatly, but there are no luxurious decorations, and it looks a bit shabby.

Tang looked around and sighed. "The Son of Heaven is too frugal. Just this yard is not as good as an ordinary house in Luoyang." She raised her chin and looked towards the yard next door. "So are you?"

"Almost." Xun Wenqian said nonchalantly: "We each have our own business, and we don't have much time in the yard. We just come back to sleep at night. A comfortable bed is enough."

Tang shi stared at Xun Wenqian and looked at it again and again, feeling a little strange.

Is this really my daughter?
"When are you free? Accompany me to Yinfang to see your aunt."

"You can do it at any time." Xun Wenqian said with a smile: "I asked the queen for leave, and I also raised some money. I don't do anything these two days, and I will stay with you."

"That's great." Xun Yu jumped up first. "Sister, let's go buy a telescope."

-

Xun Yu came to the atrium, where Liu Xie was discussing matters with two men who looked like craftsmen.Seeing Xun Yu coming in, Liu Xie confessed a few more words, and then ended the conversation.

"Don't worry, let's celebrate the new year with peace of mind, and then slowly test after the first month. When developing weapons, safety is the first priority. First, we must make a good plan to ensure everything is safe."

"Wei." The two craftsmen bowed, turned and left, discussing something in a low voice while walking.

Liu Xie turned around, glanced at Xun Or, and waved his hand.

"Mr. Xun, please."

Xun or came forward to salute, followed Liu Xie to the hall, and took their seats.The Qiao sisters came over, changed the tea set, and poured tea for Xun Yu.Xiaoqiao leaned into Liu Xie's ear and asked softly, "Your Majesty, do you want to record it?"

"Yeah." Liu Xie nodded.

Xiaoqiao immediately sat down behind the eucalyptus, sorted out his pen and ink, and spread out the paper.

Xun Gu saw it and was a little curious. "Is this a daily note?"

"The daily life notes are recorded by the Taishi Department. This is a summary for my own use, so as not to forget it." Liu Xie raised his finger and pointed to his temple. "Too many things to remember."

Xun was even more surprised. "Isn't she a secretary of the Taishi Department?"

Liu Xie was slightly taken aback, then smiled. "They are the nobles of Xinna this year. This is my sister Daqiao, and that is my younger sister Xiaoqiao. You should know their father Qiaorui."

Xun or suddenly realized, and slapped his forehead. "A capital crime, a capital crime. It's Chenhu who is smeared and abrupt, the nobleman."

Liu Xie looked at Xun He with a smile. "Did Mr. Xun receive any news?"

Xun shook his head. "No. The news I heard before said that His Majesty planned to accept Yuan Shunv as a nobleman this year. Why did he suddenly change his mind?"

Liu Xie said indifferently: "If the plan changes, it will naturally change. If Mr. Xun is interested in learning about the origin of the inner middle, wait for the opportunity to speak slowly. Time is limited, let's talk about your situation in Henan first."

Xun Or pretended to be stupid on purpose, originally wanting to lead the topic to escape and return, but seeing that Liu Xie didn't answer him, he had no choice but to give up.

"Wei." He took out a document from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Xiean with both hands. "This is a copy of Henan's plan for this year, and some ministers' insights on governance. Please read it, Your Majesty."

"Talk about it roughly." Liu Xie took the document, but didn't open it, but just signaled Xun to continue.

He is generally clear about the situation on the plan.Overall, Henan is doing well this year, at least much better than last year.However, in the national ranking of counties and states, Henan is not high, and even a little inconspicuous.

Whether it is absolute value or relative value, Henan is not outstanding, and Xun He's political achievements are not even as impressive as when he was in Hedong.

Xun Gu also knew what Liu Xie wanted to know, so he described the situation in Henan.

The biggest problem in Henan right now is household registration.

Henan originally had [-] households with a population of more than one million.Dong Zhuo's rebellion forced the people of Henan to move westward to Guanzhong, and the methods were extremely cruel, resulting in heavy casualties.After that, there were many wars, and the remaining people were also forced to flee to the Quartet, and the remaining household registrations were less than one-tenth.

Today the world is peaceful, but there are not many fleeing people returning to their hometowns. There are three reasons.

One is that the emperor has not planned to return the capital to Luoyang for a long time, and Luoyang is no longer the capital, which greatly reduces its attractiveness; second, in order to attract household registration, even if they are not locals, as long as they are naturalized in the local area, they can get land and escape from disaster. The people do not have to return to Luoyang.The third is that Yuan Shu drew the scrolls in Luoyang. Before the completion, the restoration of the old houses was prohibited. Even if many people wanted to return to their hometowns, they changed their minds after hearing the news.

"The most fundamental reason is that Chen Dutian was too late and missed the best opportunity. Now many people have naturalized in other places and don't want to bother."

Liu Xie picked up his teacup and glanced at Xun Or, noncommittal.

In all fairness, he was not satisfied with Xun Or's answer.

Xun Or seemed to be brave enough to take responsibility, but he only assumed one of the three reasons, and he didn't recognize the remaining two reasons at all.

Especially the first reason, has been pointed directly at him.

With Xun Yu's intelligence, can't he see the real reason why he stayed in Nanyang and did not return to Luoyang?
Just pretend not to know.

"This time Situ Mansion recruited you guys to amend the law. What plan do you have?"

Xun thought for a moment. "Not yet. We can only make suggestions after discussing with Situ and Sikong. However, I feel that Your Majesty's statement of governing the country by law is very reasonable, but this law should be the Confucian ritual law, not the legalist Qin law. "

After Xun Or finished speaking, he looked at Liu Xie quietly, ready to face the storm.

Although he was not in Nanyang, he knew that the emperor was furious because of his escape.But after thinking about it again and again, he still decided to remonstrate with Yan Yan.

If someone must be punished for offending the emperor, he is willing to be that sacrifice.
