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

Chapter 74 The Great Han Crisis
It is impossible for the Yuan family in Runan to allow the Daoist sect to enter the court.

It's even about a big plan they're working on.

Speaking of which, since the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the "Three Traditions" political philosophy theory, in which the "Tu De" surname group headed by "Chen" and "Yuan" replaced "Liu" as emperor, has prevailed in the world.

As a result, Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty once changed his surname to "Chen Shengliu" to avoid his edge!

Today, the four generations and three princes of the Yuan family have power in the government and the public, and the hometowns of their disciples are spread all over the world. The operation of several generations has ushered in the best time.

However, when Yuan Feng and Yuan Kai were choosing characters for Yuan Shao, they brazenly chose "Benchu", the reign title of "Emperor Han Zhi", as Yuan Shao's characters!

The Yuan family was the first one who dared to use the year name of "Emperor Liu" as a "character". Of course... this is definitely not a coincidence!

The Yuan family in Runan is ambitious.

To realize this ambition, the first thing to bear the brunt is to unite all "scholars" and "partisans".

The Yuan family understood too well that only by taking in people with "knowledge" and "wealth" could they achieve their goal of "surnamed Yuan" Tude replacing "surname Liu" Huode.

Coinciding with the two disasters of party imprisonment, the eunuchs carried out rounds of bloodbaths on the party members.

The courtiers who are truly loyal to the Han Dynasty must either die or be exiled!
On the contrary, with the secret help of Yuan Kai and Yuan Feng, most of the hometowns of Yuan's disciples in Runan escaped from Luoyang, and were secretly kept in Runan!
Became a member of the "Running Friends" alliance formed by Yuan Shao.

Looking at Yuan Shao again, he resigned his official title of Puyang Order, gave up his bright future, and returned to Runan to keep filial piety for his dead mother.

To know…

Keeping filial piety is a hard thing. Not only is three years long, but there are also many rules. Generally speaking, you can't live at home, and you can only build a simple shed in front of your parents' grave.

No running around, no meat, and no entertainment!

However, Yuan Shao's filial piety is like an addiction, and he kept it for three years and three years!
The reason for the second three-year filial piety was that Yuan Shao took the initiative to ask the court to make up for the three-year mourning for his stepfather "Yuan Cheng"!

You know, when Yuan Cheng died, Yuan Shao was still Yuan Feng's son and had not yet been adopted.

Therefore, there is no need to observe the ceremony of filial piety at all, and this matter has passed for a long time, and Yuan Shao does not need to pay another three years of mourning.

But Yuan Shao took the initiative to raise this matter, which is regarded as a greater "filial piety", and the court that flaunts "filial piety" to govern the country will not only not oppose it, but will vigorously promote it.

But actually…

Yuan Shao's filial piety kept him lonely!
He is nothing more than using the excuse of "keeping filial piety" to secretly place party members in Runan County and strengthen his so-called "running friends" alliance, in order to support and support his father and uncle politically at any time!
Old Yuan's family's ambitions are deeply hidden!
Of course, Yulin Temple...

In other words, the rumor of the so-called "Kirin talent Liu Yu" directly affected the plans of the Yuan family.

It even affected, the Yuan family secretly supported Taipingdao, and with the help of Taipingdao, the plan to lift the party's shackles!

That's why...

At all costs, the Yuan family will also prevent the Taoist faction from entering the court!
...

...

It was the third day of March when Liu Yu returned to Luoyang City.

On this day, refugees from all over Yulin Temple will go to help Taoists start planting melons.

Because hoarding horses is very profitable, there is a steady stream of coins pouring into Yulin Temple from the Zhen family alone.

The porridge of Yulin Temple is also divided into two parts. All the refugees who participate in the labor can drink the porridge without sand and distribute clothes, while the refugees who do not participate in the labor are still the same.

In addition to planting melons, Ren Man and Diao Xiu'er will also take the refugees to collect 'Artemisiae', 'Black Fern', 'Qumai' and 'Catkin'.

These four kinds belong to the category of herbal medicine, and their main function is to clear away heat and detoxify.

March also has a festival that belongs to it, and that is the Shangsi Festival. In the Han Dynasty... this day is often the first "Si" day in early March.

On the day of the Shangsi Festival, people will come to the water's edge to symbolically wash their hands, feet and face, hoping to pray for blessings and eliminate disasters. After that, various group activities will be carried out by the water's edge.

Note that it is a group activity, not a multiplayer sport.

When Liu Yu returned to Yulin Temple, everything was in good order, and most of the refugees had already started working to prepare for the Shangsi Festival!
Under the arrangement of Taoist nuns, some female refugees sorted out several silkworm rooms and prepared to raise silkworms.

Zhang Yulan looked around the Yulin Temple and said with emotion.

"Unexpectedly, so many refugees are willing to work for you."

"Where is this working for me? It's working for them to live..." Liu Yu slightly nodded. "Actually, the requirements of these refugees are really not high. As long as they have clothes to wear and can fill their stomachs, they will maintain the most basic duties!"

Speaking of this, Liu Yu's face turned cold, and she said with emotion: "March is not a comfortable solar term!"

What he thought of was that many riots and uprisings in history took place in March.

"Why?" Zhang Yulan asked curiously.

Liu Yu replied softly: "For ordinary families, March is very difficult, because the food for winter last year has basically been eaten, and all the crops have not yet matured. At this time, they can only rely on mutual relief within the clan. , and if the food reserves of the entire clan are insufficient, they can only find ways to raise funds to buy food! And this is the most difficult way!"

"Spending money to buy food? Isn't this the easiest thing?"

Zhang Yulan continued to ask, as if, this saint didn't know much about farming.

"Actually, it's easy to understand!" Liu Yu explained carefully. "First of all, the money that people's families can control is limited. Secondly, and the most critical point is that the rich and powerful clans in various places will sell food at this time. They collude with each other to sell food at prices that are several times, or even dozens of times, the market price. sell."

"The common people don't have many choices. Either take out their family savings and let these wealthy clans slaughter them, or sell themselves as slaves, sell themselves to these wealthy families, farm for them, and earn a meager morsel of grain. Some will take risks, To steal, to rob, and even a group of people unite to rebel and rob the government and the granary of the rich!"

Liu Yu explained in detail.

While explaining, he took off his shoes and prepared to enter the house...

The things he mentioned are actually recorded in the "Monthly Order of the Four Peoples".

Of course, the "Monthly Order of the Four People" did not teach others how to grab food, but aimed at the spring famine problem, telling everyone how to prevent theft and robbery!
Hearing this, Zhang Yulan's expression was not good, she raised her head to look at the sky.

"I just hope that God, hurry up and have a drenching rain!"

The reason why I sigh so much is because in March when the apricot blossoms are in full bloom, the lower fields have been dug up.

Just wait for a soaking rain, and food crops such as "japonica rice", oil crops such as "hemp and flax", and vegetables such as shallots and broad beans can be planted.

These are all about the lives of farmers!

However, Liu Yu shook his head, only he knew that the real crisis in March was not food shortage at all, but:

——Pandemic!
