As soon as Yang Xu arrived in Kanto, the heavy rain stopped.

After the drought, there will be locust plagues, and after the floods, there will be great plagues.

A plague also spread in Kanto.

However, after experiencing so many disasters in Daqin, they already had a way to deal with it. The local medical clinics were prepared before the epidemic broke out, and actively prepared medicines for the people to control the plague within a small range.

Yang Xu mobilized the grain stored in the Luokou warehouse, set up porridge sheds, and helped the refugees, and people's hearts gradually became more peaceful.

Several stubborn thieves were also exterminated by Bei Gongchun and Wenji, and the chaos in the Central Plains gradually stabilized.

With [-] elite Chinese troops in hand, no one in Kanto dared to take the lead.

Zhang Gui, Zhang Hua and other civil servants assisted Yang Xu to start the investigation of Guandong again. Xuanyi Division, Zhenfu Division, and Yushitai were all assigned to the prince, and the resources of the entire Qin Dynasty were also tilted towards him.

Nothing is unachievable.

There is no mess that can't be cut, only people who don't want to swing their swords.

The civil servants and military generals gathered around Yang Xu were full of vigor, and it was time to flex their muscles. They were not afraid of offending others, and they would not let go of any clues they caught.

At the same time, people are encouraged to expose and report.

The eyes of the masses are discerning, and they know best what the officials have done.

However, after the decree was issued, very few people came to expose and report.

Yang Xu led the guards, went deep into the people, questioned one by one, and finally touched the frozen hearts of the people.

"The imperial court averaged [-] acres of fields for strong men and [-] acres for strong women. In the past two years, they were able to share in real terms. In the past few years, they can get ten acres of Susukida. people……"

"What if the land is divided? Why don't we pay half of the tax set by the county magistrate?"

"Last year, someone from Zhaojiazhuang went to the prefecture to file a complaint. Before leaving the county, he was arrested by the yamen servants and falsely accused him of being a gangster, and he was immediately beheaded!"

"We also know that the imperial court and His Majesty the Emperor are kind to the people, but there is no way to ask for help."

……

What is exposed above the water is always the tip of the iceberg, and what is under the water is shocking.

Although Yang Xu has a gentle temper, he couldn't help but get angry. Many benevolent policies of the imperial court were hard to fall on the common people, and most of them were eaten by the officials.

The court's tax exemption decree is useless locally.

Instead of being exempt from taxes, the common people bear the same taxes as Cao Wei.

It is their credit that Daqin's big granaries were filled up so quickly.

This is how political achievements come out.

What I saw in Daxing City was only a scene of peace and prosperity. Only when I went deep into the place did I see the hardships of life and fame.

"It is often said that heavy codes are used in troubled times. Although Daqin is governing the world, heavy codes should be used. All officials and officials who commit crimes will be beheaded for public display, and the three clans will be sent to Liaodong and Hezhong!" Yang Xu, who has always been gentle, is uncharacteristically.

"Your Highness has always been benevolent. Don't ruin your reputation for many years. This matter should be handled by Shang Shutai, and you can make your own decision." Zhang Gui persuaded.

"Benevolence? Being able to get rid of these moths for Daqin is the greatest kindness. This east tour is a solitary invitation. Since I have come out, I must be pragmatic and do some practical things." Yang Xu's tone was very firm.

"Is it too much to move the three clans?" Zhang Gui was born in a noble family in Liangzhou, and he knew how many people would be involved if this decree continued.

Zhang Hua on the side said: "One person ascends to heaven, one becomes an official, and the three clans benefit. Since they benefit, they must bear the responsibility. Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the punishment has not been able to punish a doctor. The law is strict on the people, but it is lax on the officials. Your Highness." This move can deter the Kanto region and refresh the administration of officials."

Liaodong and Hezhong are short of people, and 70.00% of Daqin's population is concentrated in the Central Plains.

Yang Xu used this case to complete the migration, killing three birds with one stone, "Zhang Maoxian is the one who knows me!"

Although Zhang Hua is a rising star, his intelligence is the highest, even Zhang Jun is slightly inferior.

Seeing that the prince had made up his mind, Zhang Jun didn't say much.

The three of them walked side by side under the protection of more than a thousand soldiers and talked about some state affairs.

When we were still forty or fifty miles away from Xuchang, the scouts rushed over suddenly, "Your Highness, there are rioters coming from the southwest!"

"Your Highness, please return to the city quickly!" Zhang Jun and Yang Xu were siblings, it was strange to see this group of rioters, and worried about Yang Xu's safety.

"Haven't the rebellious people in the Central Plains been appeased? Why are there still? Could it be that... they came from an isolated place?" Yang Xu reacted very quickly.

If the crown prince has three ups and two downs, Daqin will really be shaken.

Among the princes, who else can hold back such a big scene?

I'm afraid the boss Yang Yi doesn't have this ability.

This group of people dared to plot even the youngest Yang Hong, and it would not be a big deal to have one more prince.

Yang Xu didn't hold back, "Don't delay, go back to the city quickly!"

As soon as the order was given, there was a sound of hooves and shouts from the west.

"The rioters actually have cavalry?" Zhang Hua's face was ashen.

"The matter is urgent, Your Highness leads the guards first, and the subordinates are behind!" A few drops of cold sweat flowed down Zhang Jun's face.

Yang Xu raised his eyes and looked south, only to see the billowing smoke and dust. He looked at the momentum, at least a thousand horsemen, and then looked at the calm Chinese army around him.

Even if all [-] refugees were on board, they would definitely not be opponents of the Chinese elite.

But if Yang Xu leaves the Chinese army, there might be an ambush in front of him, and then it will really be called "responsible every day, and the earth is not working".

When he conquered Wu, Yang Xu asked Du Yu about the art of war.

When he was in Daxing, Yang Zheng taught by precepts and deeds.

When using soldiers, you should avoid panic and be led by the nose by the enemy.

The One Thousand Chinese Army took a stance, guarding Yang Xu, Zhang Jun, and Zhang Hua in the middle.

The long spear was erected, and the crossbow was wound.

Yang Xu touched the fine armor inside his robe, without any panic in his heart, and took a long sword from the guard beside him.

Yang family's children, swordsmanship is a family tradition.

The smoke and dust in the southeast was getting bigger and bigger, and the shouts had not stopped. However, there was always smoke and shouts, but the enemy did not approach.

After a while, the smoke and dust cleared, and the shouts became smaller and smaller. Looking around, there were only more than 200 riders dragging branches behind their backs to deliberately create smoke and dust.

The rest of the refugees looked furtively in the distance.

"Sure enough!" Yang Xu was even more sure that the enemy was just bluffing.

Zhang Hua expressed admiration, "Your Highness is so clever, I don't know who is so bold as to plot against His Highness."

Yang Xu said: "If we want someone's life, they will naturally come to our door."

Seeing that the strong attack failed, three to four hundred people came across, all of them in ragged clothes, "Your Highness, I am waiting for a big injustice, and I hope His Highness will uphold justice!"

The Chinese army in the front row relaxed a little when they saw that the opponent had no weapons.

Yang Xu looked at the group of people carefully, revealing a strong body under the ragged clothes, and the disheveled face could not hide the murderous look in their eyes.

"How do they know His Highness is here? It must be an assassin!" Zhang Hua roared first.

The Chinese army immediately became alert, and the soldiers in the front row shouted: "Back off!"

But instead of retreating, this group of people quickened their pace, shouting while rushing: "Your Highness is the master for us!"

"Injustice!"

"Fire the arrow!" Yang Xu didn't hesitate.

The crossbow bolts shot out, and five or sixty people fell down. The rest rushed forward, but were picked and killed one by one by the long spears in the front row.

Seeing the blood, the soldiers of the Chinese army became excited one by one.
