Great Military Division

Chapter 278 The [-] county magistrates have been dismissed in a row, and Nanyang has changed into the sky, with initial results!

Xinye, Deng's family.

Octagonal Pavilion.

While picking up his beloved flowers and plants, Deng Xun listened to Deng Tong's report on what happened recently: "Young Master Zhao was actually killed by Liu Bei's stick?"

"Yes."

Deng Tong frowned slightly, and nodded in disbelief: "His foster brother Zhang Fei had already knocked Zhao Meng unconscious, and he had to be punished with a stick in court. In the end, Zhao Meng died after only three sticks."

"I didn't expect it!"

Deng Tong let out a long breath and was amazed: "This Uncle Liu is really a ruthless character. He wants to make an example of others, establish his own prestige, and completely win the hearts of the people to his side."

Deng Xun was not surprised at all, and continued to play with his flowers and plants: "If it was before, Liu Bei would never have dared to be so presumptuous."

"But."

Deng Xun said in a calm voice: "He is now leaning on his back, but now His Majesty, a small Zhao family is blocking the way, how can he take it seriously?"

"The rumors in the market are not wrong. Let alone a small Zhao family, even if you meet the young masters of our Deng family and Yin family, then Liu Bei will not be merciful."

Given the current situation, Deng Tong could not have imagined this: "It is true, but fortunately, our Deng family will not become like the Zhao family. Even if His Majesty wanted to revitalize the land, we could not hurt our Deng family."

"Yes!"

Deng Xun nodded slowly, feeling grateful and said: "Your Majesty is still very measured. He will find a way to eat up the Zhao family and the Li family, but for our Deng family and the Yin family, he didn't hurt much."

"Inconceivable!"

Speaking of this, Deng Xun stopped what he was doing, and couldn't help turning his head to look: "Your Majesty is only 15 years old this year, so he can have such a means. When he really grows up, what's the deal?"

Deng Tong agreed with deep approval: "Well, Your Majesty's method is indeed amazing. Using our Xinye County to quickly frighten the rest of the counties, Nanyang can be shaken in a short period of time."

"perhaps."

Deng Tong guessed: "After this year, Nanyang Hanting will be able to realize its independence with the land of the imperial court alone. If we add the taxes and food paid by our major families, it is also possible to fight abroad."

Deng Xunen nodded: "That's right! Your Majesty is ambitious and promising at a young age. Maybe it won't be long before he will be able to sweep the world and rebuild a great man. Our Nanyang Emperor Township is the first achievement!"

"Oh, right."

Deng Xun asked tentatively: "Now that the two rounds of exams have passed, will any members of our Deng clan pass the exam?"

Deng Tong smiled lightly: "Well, there is one person who passed the exam. He is the son of Uncle Deng Lin's family. He is three years older than Zhi'er, but there is no arrangement yet, but it should be soon."

"Deng Lin?"

Deng Xun frowned, this person was never in his mind.

"Oh."

Deng Tong hurriedly explained: "The Deng family in Huyang has a relatively poor family background, but that kid is quite competitive. In the first two batches of exams, a total of 12 people from our Deng family participated, and he was the only one who passed."

"kindness."

Deng Xun nodded with satisfaction: "No matter what, the result is always good! Nephew."

Deng Tong hurriedly bowed: "Yes."

"Quickly go to the clan to raise money. From now on, as long as the descendants of the Deng family pass the imperial court examination and become an official or enter the army, they will be rewarded with [-] yuan. Let them all cheer up and study hard for me."

call-

Breathe out long.

Deng Xun pinched a strand of beard under his chin: "I don't know how long such a fair opportunity will last. Our Deng family must never give up such an opportunity."

Deng Tong cupped his hands and said, "Patriarch, don't worry, I will leave this matter to my nephew."

"Oh, right."

Deng Xun suddenly remembered something, and tried to ask: "The Yin family is still planning to send someone to the palace?"

Deng Tong nodded: "That's right! Two girls have been selected and are teaching various court etiquette. Now the court system is temporarily incomplete, and His Majesty has no other distractions and has no time to choose a concubine."

"but."

Deng Tong was sure and affirmed: "After a year or two, the Han court in Nanyang will be completely stable, and the Sangong and Jiuqing will be complete. Even if Your Majesty is not in a hurry, the court officials will be in a hurry."

"That old guy Yin Lu is really suitable to start preparing from now on. It will definitely make the daughter of the Yin family stand out, and maybe she will be selected into the palace, not necessarily."

Deng Xun frowned and pondered for a moment: "Nephew, do you think our Deng family should also make preparations? Although it is our Deng family's advantage to enter the officialdom with military merit, it does not conflict with sending a daughter into the palace. "

"OK?"

Deng Tong nodded slowly, and said softly: "It's just that the Patriarch, my nephew really can't be distracted. You may have to find someone else to select the daughters of the Deng family."

"kindness."

Deng Xun naturally understood that Deng Tong was busy, and immediately nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, you just concentrate on the court exams. If you can get more descendants of the Deng family to enter the court, your prestige will be greatly improved. Maybe when I die, you will be able to take the exam." It's the patriarch."

Deng Tong hastily cupped his hands: "Patriarch, my nephew has never thought of this before."

Deng Xun waved his hand and said: "You can think about it! Besides, you are very capable. Your son is now the commander of the Yuanyang Army. When you have more military exploits, you will be promoted to general. Your status will naturally rise."

"Patriarch, I."

"it does not matter."

"Uh"

Xinye, Zhao family.

ancestral hall.

Zhao Yan folded her hands behind her back, frowned, paced back and forth, and raised her eyes to look outside from time to time.

Beside him, a middle-aged man was crying and following: "Patriarch, you have to be the master of the dog, we Zhao family members, we can't just die like this!"

His name is Zhao Biao, the father of Zhao Meng.

"enough!"

Zhao Yan was furious, and yelled back aggressively: "Are you annoying? Just say it once or twice. If you keep talking on and on, do you really think I'm old and useless, deaf and blind?"

Zhao Biao was obedient: "How dare you!"

Zhao Yan sighed, waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, I have sent people to investigate, and I believe there will be results soon."

"Patriarch—!"

"Patriarch—!"

At this moment, a call sounded from outside the ancestral hall.

Zhao Yan looked up.

But seeing his servant rushing in, his expression was extremely flustered, he didn't even care about saluting, so he raised his finger and pointed outside, gasped and said:
"Patriarch, I found out that Liu Bei just arrived in Nanyang recently. I heard that he is His Majesty's uncle. After Xinye ordered Cheng Wei to have an accident, His Majesty called him into the palace immediately and sent him to Xinye to serve."

"what?"

Immediately, Zhao Yan was stunned, his eyes stared like bells, and his eyes were full of astonishment: "Is this Liu Bei the current emperor's uncle?"

The servant nodded with great certainty: "That's right! Exactly."

hiss-!
Zhao Yan was startled, gasped, his legs couldn't help but shuddered, almost staggered, and fell to the ground: "Uncle Emperor? He's actually the Uncle Emperor today? No wonder he's so confident!"

"Damn!"

Zhao Yan secretly chewed.

He finally understood.

Everything that happened in Xinye was basically arranged by His Majesty the Emperor.

He wanted to use Xinye County's farming to frighten the rest of Nanyang's counties. That's why he sent such a person with royal status to sit in the town in the shortest possible time.

The other party came too fast, but never mentioned the identity of the emperor's uncle. It was obvious that he was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. The other party was looking for an opportunity to show his prestige, but he actually sent it to his door.

Motherfucker!
Zhao Yan's face turned green with anger, and the muscles at the corners of his lips kept twitching.

He really wanted to raise his palm with the palm of a cattail fan, and slapped himself fiercely. Why would he be overwhelmed by anger, and act recklessly without enough information to support it?

That's Uncle Huang!

Not to mention the Zhao family, even the Deng family and the Yin family might not dare to provoke them, right?

Zhao Biao asked anxiously: "Patriarch, the other party is the emperor's uncle, what should we do?"

"How to do?"

Zhao Yan was furious and gritted his teeth: "What can we do? What do you say? Do you want me to use the strength of the whole family to compete with the current emperor uncle? You think our Zhao family has lived long enough, don't you?"

"This"

Zhao Biao was eager to love his son, and he was furious: "Could it be that the dog died in vain like this? He was ordered by your master to make trouble in the street. You can't just ignore it?"

Zhao Yan spread his hands: "How do you want me to take care of it? The other party is the current emperor! What can I do? Why don't you give me an idea, as long as it doesn't hurt the Zhao family itself, I will definitely agree."

As the head of the family, Zhao Yan deeply understands what his duty is, that is to stabilize the head of the family and pass on the family line so that the incense of the Zhao family can continue in Xinye.

Be strong when you should be strong, be cowardly when you should be cowardly!
Zhao Yan was not afraid of things, otherwise he would not have thought of a way to get rid of Cheng Wei at the beginning, let alone be out of anger, without the support of intelligence, to test the methods of the newly appointed Xinye Ling.

only.
The current situation is beyond his control.

If you forcibly make trouble with the current emperor's uncle, you will have to pay the price of the Yi tribe.

If the chances of winning are high, it's fine, but under the current situation, their Zhao family has no chance of winning at all!

How could Zhao Yan not admit cowardice?
"Brother!"

Zhao Yan sighed, and said softly: "I, Zhao Yan, are responsible for your son's tragic death, but the other party is the current Emperor's Uncle, who is backed by His Majesty, we cannot fight."

"give up."

Zhao Yan patted the other party's shoulder: "As for your son's matter, I will personally attend the funeral and let him enter the Zhao family's ancestral hall in a splendid manner. Let this matter pass like this."

Zhao Biao covered his heart, tears streaming down his face: "Patriarch, you are so cruel, I, Zhao Biao, will remember it!"

"Zhao Biao, you."

Zhao Yan was about to say something, but saw the other party suddenly turn around, step out of the ancestral hall without the slightest hesitation.

Looking at the back of Zhao Biao's leaving, Zhao Yan subconsciously raised his foot, and shrank it back abruptly.

"Homeowner."

The servant said softly: "Third Master, his temper is like a fire, just in case he does something."

Zhao Yan let out a long breath: "I am sorry for him, let him be alone for a while, and I will come to the door to apologize after a while."

******
Guanzhong, Chang'an.

Prime Minister's House.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

"."

The wild laughter wafted over the prime minister's mansion.

At this moment, the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Holding the information sent back from Nanyang, Dong Zhuo couldn't stop laughing wildly.

He passed the information in his hand to Li Ru, his subordinate: "Wenyou, look at it, according to the news from Nanyang, King Hongnong has dismissed eight or nine county magistrates one after another, and replaced them with those who have just taken the exam. .”

"Hahaha!"

Dong Zhuo was ecstatic in his heart, and couldn't hide his sneer: "I really didn't expect that King Hongnong would be so reckless to let some people with no official experience take over as county magistrates, and he even came up with a letter of responsibility for farming and production."

"Killing me!"

"Ha ha!"

In Dong Zhuo's eyes, King Hongnong's behavior is no different from asking for death.

After all, farming is a major event in Nanyang Hanting. At this time, those county magistrates were attacked, and some newcomers who had just taken the exam were replaced. Is this really a play?

but
Li Ru didn't have the slightest disdain on his face, but was unusually calm.

After fighting for so many rounds, he has already experienced the power of King Hongnong, and he will not be easily confused by appearances, but is thinking about deeper reasons.

King Hongnong is not stupid, why would he take risks?
Farming is indeed the most important thing. At this time, what is the purpose of dismissing the county magistrate and replacing them with new ones?
The rookie is indeed energetic, but he has little experience as an official, so it cannot be ignored.

And that farming production responsibility letter?
This kind of thing has completely exceeded Li Ru's cognition. It is a set of management experience developed by King Hongnong himself. He cooperates with the inspector team to assess according to the node, and pays equal attention to rewards and punishments. It is really a bit internal.

but
How it will develop in the end is another matter.

Li Ru's beard was deep in thought, serious, in stark contrast to Dong Zhuo who was laughing wildly.

Laughing wildly for a long time, seeing that Li Ru didn't move at all, even Dong Zhuo himself couldn't help frowning: "Why, doesn't Wen You think that Hongnong Wang's move is very ridiculous?"

"Prime Minister."

Only then did Li Ru come back to his senses, and bowed his head: "King Hongnong dismissed seven or eight county magistrates in a row. There are a total of 26 counties in Nanyang, and he dismissed nearly two or three out of ten."

"On the surface, it is indeed very impulsive, even reckless."

"But the prime minister."

Li Ru took a deep breath and asked, "Has Nanyang ever been in turmoil?"

Dong Zhuo frowned and pondered for a moment: "Although there is no news now, it doesn't mean there will be no news in the future. The other county magistrates in Nanyang are not stupid, and the butcher's knife is hanging above their heads. How can they not panic?"

"Compare your heart to your heart."

Dong Zhuo patted his chest and said: "If this matter falls on me, Dong Zhuo, I will definitely not let it go. I am a majestic county magistrate, how can I dismiss him if I can?"

"Wenyou."

Dong Zhuo's bad thoughts came up: "Should we send people to contact, maybe there will be unexpected joy. These guys have connections with all the major families in Nanyang. If they rebel, they will definitely cause riots in Nanyang."

King Hongnong established a new dynasty in Nanyang, causing the world's resources and aristocratic families to quickly move closer to Nanyang. Although it is only a budding state at present, it is still a force that cannot be ignored.

You must know that if there is no Nanyang Hanting, these resources and clans should belong to him sooner or later. In a sense, King Hongnong eats from his own bowl.

Can Nima endure this?
Never!
Dong Zhuo wished he could tear King Hongnong into pieces and throw him into the wilderness to feed the wolves, so that he could vent his hatred.

But he doesn't have enough soldiers and horses now, so he can only rely on political means to buy time for himself.

Li Ru took a deep breath, he couldn't deny Dong Zhuo's opinion, so he could only nod his head: "It is true that we can send people to contact, but King Hongnong will not give them a chance."

"Zhang Liao sits in Heluo, Cao Cao sits in Yingchuan, and Nanyang is ruled by Sun Jian, a fierce tiger from the east of the Yangtze River. The total force has reached more than [-] people. There is absolutely no possibility of major disturbances in Nanyang."

Dong Zhuo was not greedy at all, and said softly: "There is no need to make too much trouble, just destroy his farming policy, and under internal and external troubles, I want to see how he can stand up."

King Hongnong took the lead in developing farming, and made it clear that he wanted to be independent. How could Dong Zhuo let him continue to develop unscrupulously like this.

"That's it"

Li Ru suddenly became interested, frowned, and said softly: "It's not impossible to think about it."

Dong Zhuo let out a cry of surprise, "What's the matter? Wenyou has a solution?"

Li Ru took a deep breath: "Prime Minister, during this period of time, we have been sending assassins to Nanyang. Although we have exposed a lot in Wancheng, there are many of us in other counties."

"and!"

Li Ru emphasized: "Although King Hongnong's move failed to hurt the big family, it hurt the interests of the wealthy families in various counties. Let's not talk about it. A few days ago, there was news from Nanyang that Xinye County Magistrate Liu Bei actually Killed the son of the local rich family with the stick in court."

"Liu Bei?"

Dong Zhuo didn't know this person yet.

"kindness."

Li Ru nodded: "I heard that he was a clan member of the Han family. He came to Wancheng just now, and he was regarded as the emperor's uncle by Hongnong himself, and his popularity rose sharply. But before that, he was only the magistrate of Gaotang County. Gaotang County was defeated. I just rushed to Wancheng."

"If my guess is correct, the reason why King Hongnong recognizes him as the emperor's uncle is to give him the status of a royal person, and use this power to carry out his own farming and state affairs."

"Prime Minister!"

The corners of Li Ru's lips raised slightly, revealing a hint of evil: "I have a suggestion, since King Hongnong wants to follow Liu Bei as an example (model), let's find a way to destroy it, and it will surely deter Nanyang Hanting."

Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up, deeply convinced: "Is it really possible?"

Li Ru thought for a moment: "You can try."

"it is good!"

Dong Zhuo promised: "If Liu Bei can be killed, King Hongnong will be deterred. We must send the most capable people to ensure nothing goes wrong."

Li Ru bowed his head: "Prime Minister, don't worry, Ru knows well."

Dong Zhuo nodded: "Let's do it! Our Xiliang cavalry is rebuilding. It will take at most three years to unsheath it like a sharp sword. By then, we will be ashamed."

Nanyang, Wancheng.

The Emperor's Palace.

Holding the memorial in his hand, Liu Bian nodded with a smile on his face: "Okay! That's great, the county magistrates in Nanyang know more about current affairs than I imagined."

"We only dismissed twelve county magistrates, and less than half of them have been able to keep up with our farming progress plan. It seems that they have a problem with their attitude, not their ability."

Almost every day, Liu Bian can receive Yu Fan's fast horse memorial, which is full of the current progress of the latest nodes in each county. This is the third consecutive memorial that has been completed according to the planned node.

This proves.
The Thunderbolt method of the military division alliance has already played a corresponding role.

This will be of great benefit to the next farming progress.

"Yes!"

Even Xun Yu himself did not think of it.

According to the original deduction, Nanyang had to abolish at least half of the county magistrates before they could really get on the right track.

did not expect.

Even half of it has not been reached, and the counties have already entered the state.

Xun Yu was shocked, but also ecstatic: "If the current progress continues, our farming progress management this year will definitely be overfulfilled."

"Oh, right."

Liu Bian suddenly remembered something, and asked urgently: "According to the node plan, have all the rewards been distributed?"

Xun Yu hastily bowed: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, all have been distributed."

Only then did Liu Bian feel relieved, and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good! I have always clearly defined rewards and punishments. Those who fail to complete must be punished, but those who can finish, or even finish ahead of schedule, must be rewarded, and the courtiers cannot be allowed to discuss in private. Talk about credibility!"

"Where can it be?"

Xun Yu followed all the way, and naturally understood Liu Bian's character: "Your Majesty is strict in running the army, and has more methods in politics. Since the rewards are in place, the county magistrates are no longer panic, but full of energy."

"My minister is starting to worry about whether our farm tools can keep up with the progress of farming. If the farming is delayed because of the tools, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the county magistrates."

Different seasons, different tasks require different farm tools.

For example, to open up wasteland, you need to use iron (jué) to dig the soil, and iron to shovel the soil;

In the process of farming, the iron hoe is the most used;
Liu Bian practiced land reclamation and farming simultaneously.

After land reclamation, seeds need to be sown, and farm tools need to be replaced. If the latest farm tools are not provided, it will inevitably affect the farming of the counties.

"Do not worry."

Liu Bian said with great confidence: "Gongzhi has already produced a large number of piston wooden bellows, and the efficiency of wrought iron has greatly increased. You guys communicate in private and try to draw up a new plan. Everything should be based on farming."

Xun Yu was pleasantly surprised: "Your Majesty has thought this far?"

Liu Bian gave a simple acknowledgment: "The plan cannot keep up with the changes. Since the current farming progress is better than we expected, the plan will naturally need to be fine-tuned, and the people, machines, materials, etc. related to it need to be adjusted."

"Wen Ruo!"

Liu Bian took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly: "When the land reclamation team retreats and fully enters the farming stage, we won't need so many people. From now on, you need to perfect the water conservancy irrigation plan."

Say it.

Liu Bian took out a silk manuscript from the copybook on the upper right corner of the Long Case, and handed it over: "This is a layout plan of water conservancy facilities that I initially drafted based on the distribution map of Nanyang's water system."

"Take it back, study it, and then help me to perfect it, then summarize it, and make a schedule of water conservancy and irrigation. Let's take time to discuss it together and try to make it as soon as possible."

Xun Yu hurriedly took over the drawing in fear and trepidation: "Your Majesty has thought very far and carefully, and I am afraid that I have nothing to add."

"Of course!"

Xun Yu was afraid that the emperor would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said: "I will study carefully, do my best to find out the gaps and make up for the omissions, and will complete the irrigation schedule as soon as possible. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Liu Bian smiled lightly: "Well, how can I not believe in Wen Ruo, you just go ahead and do it."

Xun Yu responded, "Here."

Immediately.

Bow and leave.

Liu Bian thought: "Teacher, even Xun Yu, who is Wang Zuozhi's talent, is also impressed by the experts in the alliance. Look at his respectful appearance now, how can he feel Wang Zuozhi's talent at all."

"Defense Lord."

The military division alliance said softly: "In fact, the experts in the alliance also admire Xun Yu. After all, they are a group of people, and Xun Yu is just one person. In terms of work ability, Xun Yu is definitely not bad."

This point, Liu Bian is naturally clear: "That's right! One person manages such a large court, and he has to take care of all aspects. Xun Yu's working ability is indeed beyond doubt."

"Wait for a chance later."

Liu Bian took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly: "We must help Xun Yu to share the pressure. At present, we can only continue to squeeze him. Poor Xun Yu, it is worse than 996."
