Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 48 If there is chaff, why do we need grain?
Snow flakes are flying, and the Yulin Temple is covered in silver, but in the square hall, under the seat of the White Tiger God, the dialogue between the emperor Liu Hong and Xun Yu is getting better and better.

"The reason why Dunqiu County's porridge and disaster relief methods can be copied from Yulin Temple is because Dunqiu Ling is Cao Mengde."

Xun Yu explained in detail: "Cao Mengde knocked on the drum twice. He was disliked by the eunuchs, and because of his background, he couldn't stand in the ranks of scholars! He has no background in doing things, he just relies on his heart!"

"Therefore, he will follow Guanzhu Liu's method, mix sand, and screen out the real disaster victims and refugees, but what about other local officials? How many are the hometowns of rich and famous families? How many have various forces involved behind them? Who doesn't want to take advantage of this disaster relief to make a fortune?"

"That's why, even if the imperial court issues a decree to mix sand with disaster relief everywhere, the result will be counterproductive! These officials will either turn a deaf ear to it, or preach loudly, forcing the complaints of the disaster victims and refugees to boil even more. Thus forcing the court to return to the original method of disaster relief, and these so-called 'disaster victims and refugees' themselves are not real disaster victims and refugees!"

call…

Hearing this, Liu Hong whispered in his mouth—"The core is to screen the victims"...

And the words of the scholar in front of me can be said to be incisive...

In the final analysis, decrees are dead, but people are alive. If the person who preaches the decree is not selected correctly, the result will definitely be the opposite, and there will be big troubles!
Although Yu'er's method is good, the court really cannot copy it!

It is even more incomparable to draw a gourd and a ladle, and draw a tiger according to a cat!
This scholar named "Xun Yu" interpreted Yu'er Fanglue very accurately and incisively!

It's a talent!

"Young Master Xun, what do you think? If the court wants to solve this disaster relief matter, what should it do?"

Liu Hong continued to ask questions...

His address to Xun Yu has been changed to "Mr. Xun", and now he is even more curious about how this Mr. Xun will "use for reference" on "Yu'er"'s strategy of "giving porridge"?

"Mr. Liu is so concerned about state affairs, I'm afraid he is not an ordinary businessman?" Xun Yu has a good eye, and he can detect something from the other party's conversation.

Liu Hong was slightly taken aback, Jian Shuo was about to speak...

Liu Hong stopped him immediately, and said without hesitation: "There is nothing to hide. I am the great-great-grandson of Emperor Ming of Han, the great-grandson of King Chen Jing, the grandson of King Chen Qing, the son of King Chen Xiao, and Liu Chong, the sixth king of Chen Kingdom!"

As soon as this statement comes out…

Xun Yu hastily cupped his hands. "Meet King Chen!"

Early in the morning, he felt that the "Mr. Liu" in front of him had an extraordinary bearing, and he was not expected to be an ordinary character.

Unexpectedly, he was a relative of the emperor.

certainly…

How did Xun Yu know that Liu Chong was just "copying" the name of Liu Hong casually, how could he reveal his identity as the Son of Heaven during a private interview on Weibo?And this Chen Wang Liu Chong has always had a close relationship with Liu Hong.

As early as when the two were both "junhou", they had been in contact from time to time...

Therefore, regarding Liu Chong's life experience, Liu Hong just opened his mouth.

When it comes to this, I have to mention one more thing. The Dahan is implementing the "County and State Parallel System". .

However, because of the implementation of the Tweeting Order, there are very few "big countries" in the parallel system of prefectures and states in the Han Dynasty!
Chen country is not a big or small country, it is located in the generation of Huai Ru.

There is a king in the country and a prime minister!
If you follow the normal trajectory of history, in the period of separatist regimes.

Chen Guo was sandwiched between Cao Cao's Yanzhou and Yuan Shu's Nanyang.

The king of Chen, Liu Chong, was also good at horseback riding and archery. In troubled times, he even built an armed force with more than 100,000 people. This made Yuan Shu quite afraid, so he sent someone to assassinate him...

Not to mention, he really assassinated Liu Chong, the lord of the Chen Kingdom, and Luo Jun, the Prime Minister of the Chen Kingdom, which made him extremely inflated, which is an important reason why "Skeleton King Yuan Shu" took the step of "proclaiming himself emperor".

Of course, this is not important.

The important thing is... the emperor Liu Hong pretended to be Chen Wang Liu Chong, and Xun Yu believed it, and he believed it very firmly.

"Young Master Xun has a new understanding, you may as well say it bluntly. Today's son and I are playmates when we were young. If it is beneficial to the big man, I will definitely advise him and can implement it in the entire empire!"

As Liu Hong spoke, he supported Xun Yu who was bowing his hands.

The eyes of the two met in one place, and there were blossoming lights in each other's eyes.

"Chen Wang, I will speak bluntly."

"Mr. Xun, but it's okay to say!"

Xun Yu paused for a moment, and then explained in a serious manner: "Guanzhu Liu's 'sha porridge' method is certainly good, but if it is implemented by the empire, it may not necessarily require 'scene creation', but it must be partially 'referenced'." '!"

"How to use it for reference?" Liu Hong's eyes narrowed, looking forward to it.

"First, what the imperial court sends to various places cannot be disaster relief funds, nor can it be 'five grains', but instead 'bran'!"

"bran?"

Liu Hong was a little surprised.

You should know that "bran" in the popular sense refers to the outer shell of the grain.

In Dahan...the dehulled debris mixed with a small amount of broken rice can also be called "bran"!Also called "bran", "coarse rice"!
And bran... because it is difficult to swallow, it is usually fed to pigs!

Liu Hong specially set up a commercial street in the palace, and he is very familiar with the prices in the market, one catty of "corn and rice" can be exchanged for five catties of "bran"!
This…

What does Xun Yu mean?

Just as Liu Hong wanted to think deeply, Xun Yu's words came out again.

"Because the bran is hard to swallow, it's like mixing sand in porridge. Only the hungry victims and refugees who are about to starve to death will drink it. This saves the process of adding sand to the porridge, which is similar to sand porridge. In this way... not only can we screen out those who pretend to be refugees in the whole Han area, but also because the price is low, the food for disaster relief will increase several times, and the pressure on the national treasury will be relieved!"

Hearing this, Liu Hong nodded...

It's a good idea!
Yu'er gave porridge, and he, Liu Hong, made chaff. Only the victims of the disaster would eat these unpalatable foods!It is precisely because of this that there will be no people pretending to be disaster victims to fight for it!
"Ah…"

Liu Hong laughed, and this was the first time he laughed when he came to Yulin Temple.

"In this way, the problem of the big man helping the victims has been easily solved!"

Congratulations, Liu Hong is pleased from the bottom of his heart.

he knows…

The people of this era have the most honest character, as long as these disaster victims and refugees still have a bite to eat, they will not rebel, and Liu Hong will be able to sit firmly on the throne.

In his opinion, the state affairs are in turmoil and the world is going downhill. Today's big men can't stand a large-scale riot!

All those who may cause riots... must be killed in the cradle!
This is the red line in Liu Hong's heart, and it is also the bottom line!

When Liu Hongzheng was imagining...

Unexpectedly, Xun Yu's words directly pulled him back from his reverie.

"It's not that simple..."

Hmm... Liu Hong narrowed his eyes again.

Xun Yu's words continued. "In addition to the bran, the imperial court also has to transport a certain amount of 'five grains' to the local area?"

"There is chaff? Why do we need grain?" Liu Hong asked hastily.

Xun Yu didn't think about it. "These grains sent to the localities are not for the victims of the disaster, but deliberately given to those local officials for greed!"
