Mi Han

Chapter 206 Development
In a side hall of the Xicheng County Mansion, Shen Yi and Shen Danqi, who had been tied up by five flowers, knelt together in the hall.

There is no one else in the side hall, except for Mi Yang, there are only some Mi Yang's personal guards guarding the Shen brothers.

After Shen Dan was captured by Mi Yang in the Hegu camp, Mi Yang was not in a hurry to kill Shen Dan. After he led the army from Shangyong, he took Shen Dan with him.

Immediately after capturing Shen Yi, Mi Yang ordered Shen Dan to be brought to the west city to meet the Shen Yi brothers.

After Shen Dan saw that Shen Yi also became Mi Yang's prisoner, although he had expected it, when he actually saw this scene, there was still an unconcealable grayness on his face.

Compared to Shen Dan who had completely resigned herself to her fate, Shen Yi's complexion was a little better.

Shen Yi knelt on the ground, he knew that now he was the meat on Mi Yang's case.

He didn't have the extravagant hope that Mi Yang would not slash his sword at him, he only hoped that Mi Yang would let his clansman go.

Shen Yi knelt on the ground and begged Mi Yang: "Fu Jun, my brother and I have lost now, no one in Hanxing County can hold back Fu Jun.

I don't ask Fu Jun to spare my life, I just hope Fu Jun can let my descendants and clansmen go. "

After finishing speaking, Shen Yi bowed deeply to Mi Yang.

Although Shen Yi's personality is more radical than Shen Dan's, but at the same time he is more aware of current affairs than Shen Dan.

Looking at Shen Yi's performance in history, we know that the "Han" and "Wei" banners on the west city changed back and forth almost like magic under Shen Yi's instructions.

For such a person, when it's time to lie down and be a kid, he will never hesitate in the slightest.

Facing Shen Yi's intercession, Mi Yang did not respond positively.

Mi Yang looked at Ding Feng at the side, and Ding Feng walked towards Shen Yi under the signal of Mi Yang's eyes.

At this time, Ding Feng was holding a wooden box in his hand. As Ding Feng walked towards Shen Yi, Shen Yi saw the whole picture of the wooden box in Ding Feng's hand.

After seeing the wooden box, Shen Yi's face flashed with dodge.

When Ding Feng walked up to Shen Yi, he opened the wooden box in his hand, then stood in front of Shen Yi and dumped all the contents of the wooden box in front of Shen Yi and Shen Dan.

Following Ding Feng's movements, pieces of official seals fell from the overturned wooden box in front of Shen Yi and Shen Dan.

When dozens of official seals fell in front of Shen Yi and Shen Dan's eyes, Shen Dan looked at Shen Yi. When Shen Dan saw the evasive look on Shen Yi's face, he didn't know the origin of these official seals.

A look of incredulity appeared on Shen Dan's face.

Is his little brother crazy!

After Ding Feng poured all the official seals in front of Shen Yi and Shen Dan, Mi Yang looked at Shen Yi and said:
"You exercise authority in Hanxing County, and dare to engrave the official seal in the name of the emperor. You have the ambition of rebellion. For this crime alone, the Shen family will be punished!"

These official seals were found from Shen Yi's dormitory after Zhang Yi took control of the county government just now.

Since the world was in turmoil, the authority and edicts of the emperor have long been beyond the prefectures and counties.

The power to appoint chiefs in various counties and counties is in the hands of the princes who actually occupy the counties and counties.

It's just that the Han Dynasty still exists, so when the princes from all over the country appoint county officials, they can only engrave official seals in the name of the emperor and award them to their ministers.

But even if the emperor loses the power to appoint officials from various counties and counties, this power will still be divided among the princes in the world, which is not what Shen Yi, a courtier of the king of Hanzhong, should do.

Now that Shen Yi dared to engrave the official seal privately, such a crime could of course be punished by the family.

After listening to Mi Yang's words, the expression on Shen Yi's face also turned ashen as his elder brother.

Mi Yang's words made sense, he didn't intend to let his Shen clan go.

Most of the old, young, women and children of the Shen family were moved to Chengdu by Shen Dan last year, and Mi Yang was beyond his reach.

But once Mi Yang reports the official seal he found today to Liu Bei, then his Shen clan will still be doomed to be wiped out.

Clan punishment is the most serious punishment in the world, the most ruthless means to sever a family name, and it is also the most feared consequence in many people's hearts.

After seeing Shen Yi's ashen face like Shen Dan's, Mi Yang said again: "Although your Shen clan will inevitably be destroyed, I can leave some of your blood."

After hearing what Mi Yang said, both Shen Dan and Shen Yi had some blood on their faces.

They looked at Mi Yang with hopeful eyes, and under their hopeful eyes, Mi Yang said slowly:
"As long as you guys can help me sort out the population and acres of land in Hanxing County, even though you two will die in the future, I will write to the king to plead for your blood in Chengdu."

After winning Hanxing County, the most important thing for Mi Yang at present is to quickly find out the real total number of population and acres of Hanxing County.

Only after doing this can Mi Yang gradually build Hanxing County into a base for his Northern Expedition in the future.

Even without the help of the Shen brothers, Mi Yang could finally figure this out after taking Hanxing County in its entirety.

It's just that the Shen brothers have been entrenched in Hanxing County for many years. They know Hanxing County very well, and with their assistance, they will surely get twice the result with half the effort.

Moreover, although most of the population and farmland in Hanxing County were originally hidden by the Shen brothers, the Shen family was not the only powerful family in Hanxing County.

So if Mi Yang can get the assistance of the Shen brothers, then he can use the Shen brothers' understanding of other powerful forces to carry out a comprehensive "Tiandu" operation in Hanxing County.

Field surveying is not just about measuring the acres of land, it also includes checking the hidden population.

Nearly 200 years ago, Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, carried out a nationwide campaign to save fields.

The main content of the Dutian operation is to check the number of fields, household registration, and age, and strengthen the government's control over land and labor.

In addition, the Dutian operation directly pointed at the key points of local tyrants-to verify the land population of tyrannical landlords, and to limit the number of land annexations and enslaved populations by tyrants.

Because the Dutian Movement violated the interests of powerful families in various places, they resisted this policy by colluding with local officials.

In order to resolutely implement this policy, Liu Xiu successively killed more than ten local officials who colluded with the powerful and perfunctory to Dutian.

At that time, in the central government, Ouyang She, the great Confucianist in the world, served as the mouthpiece of the tyrants in various places, and desperately criticized Emperor Guangwu's land saving policy in public opinion.

Instigated by Ouyang She, the public opinion of scholars all over the world at that time was full of malice against the Dutian policy.

But in the face of the combined forces of local and central opposition forces, Emperor Guangwu, who had always been considered a "good old man", showed his courage.

Regardless of Da Situ Ouyang She's status as a Confucian in the world, Emperor Guangwu decisively executed Ouyang She to death in the face of more than a thousand people guarding the palace to plead for mercy.

This incident caused a great shock in the government and the public, but at the same time it revealed Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty's determination to save the land.

After shocking the central courtiers with the death of Ouyang She, Liu Xiu began to attack the local rebellion.

On the one hand, Liu Xiu sent someone to call, "Listen to the group of thieves who quarrel with each other, and if five people behead one person in total, he will be punished", so as to divide and separate the tyrants in various places.

On the other hand, he pardoned the crimes of staying, avoiding, and cheating of local officials, so as to mobilize their enthusiasm for fighting the chaos.

The most important thing is that Liu Xiu resorted to a killer move, "relocate his commander-in-chief to another county, endow him with land and receive gifts, so that An can make a living."

With Liu Xiu's move, the local nobles can no longer use the power of the clan to continue to do evil and cause chaos.

Liu Xiu's move is the most unacceptable punishment for the contemporary tyrants besides clan punishment.

The reason why the local tyrants are tyrannical is that they have lived in their homeland for generations, have great influence in the country, and have huge wealth.

These two advantages allowed them to raise private soldiers and launch rebellions.

But when they were forced to relocate to their homeland, all their ties with their homeland were cut off, which is undoubtedly a draw from the bottom.

The rebels were all powerful families. If they hadn't been deprived of everything they had in their homeland and then moved to other places, such rich people would not have been able to ask Liu Xiu to "endow land and receive endowments so that they can live in peace."

For example, Wang Fu pointed out the ruthlessness of Liu Xiu's move in "Theory of Qian Fu·Shi Bian".

"Furthermore, husbands and gentlemen relocate again, and yearn for graves. The virtuous and the unworthy are the same. The migration of the people is more important than the subjugation of the law. Subjugation of the law is nothing but the death of one family member.

Those who have lost their wealth and goods, seized land and moved far away, are not accustomed to customs, are inconvenient to water and soil, and many of them have destroyed their families, but few can return them. "

Liu Xiu's move dealt a heavy blow to the rebellious landlords.

After the rebellions in various places were quelled, Dutian in Liu Xiu's period was strictly implemented.

After the implementation of Dutian, a good situation of "cattle and horses grazing, and the gates of the city not closed" was formed, which laid a solid economic foundation for the rule of Mingzhang.

People in the later generations will remember Liu Xiu's identity as the great magister, but his behavior in this Dutian movement is also really good.

Without this Dutian movement, the political ecology of the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty would have perished long ago.

Whether Emperor Guangwu's action was a success or a failure, in the views of later historians, there have always been different opinions.

Looking at the 200-year history of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Dutian Movement was a failure, because the chaos in the world at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was inextricably linked to the growing strength of local tyrants.

But just from the period of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, the Dutian operation at that time achieved certain results.

The fundamental reason why the operation of Dutian did not save the fate of the Eastern Han Dynasty was that in feudal society, there was no way to completely eradicate the cancer of local tyrants.

The direct reason is that, except for the good continuation of the "Tian Du Tian" operation during the period of Emperor Ming and Emperor Han Zhang, it was basically a dead letter in other periods.

But at present, the biggest benefit to Mi Yang from the field-duty operation during Emperor Guangwu's time was that it made it justifiable for him to carry out the field-duty operation in Hanxing County.

As the prefect of Hanxing County, Mi Yang continued the policy of His Majesty Shizu, which was completely reasonable and reasonable, and it couldn't be more correct.

Then Mi Yang, under the name of Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, actually made some reforms under the obvious move of Du Tian, ​​and no one can criticize that.

Even if some rotten scholars want to use this to criticize Mi Yang and tarnish his reputation, they must first tarnish Liu Xiu's reputation.

Do they dare?Liu Bei is still alive.

In contemporary times, words can only be followed by integrity, and speed can be achieved only when words are followed.

When Shen Yi and Shen Dan heard that Mi Yang was going to start farming in Hanxing County, although they were local tyrants, they naturally opposed this policy.

But let's not say that they don't have the capital to resist now, even if they have the capital to resist, it is impossible for them to openly stop Mi Yang's move.

In order to preserve some blood, Shen Dan and Shen Yi could only agree to Mi Yang's request in the end.

After Shen Dan and Shen Yi chose to cooperate, Mi Yang ordered people to suppress the two and imprison them.

After Shen Dan and Shen Yi were taken away, Lu Yi came to the side hall and reported to Mi Yang: "Master, most of the members of the Shen family have been taken into custody, and I ask you to show me how to deal with them."

In the case of the full recovery of the western city, except for some of Shen's henchmen who hid in the dark and escaped from the city by chance, most of the remaining Shen's henchmen were successively captured by the Mi army.

Shen's party members are divided into two categories, one is Shen's clan members, and the other is the subordinate officials who were attached to the Shen brothers before and helped them fish and meat the common people.

After listening to Lu Yi's report, Mi Yang said to Lu Yi: "Interrogate the captured members of the Shen family one by one, and after getting their crimes, deal with them according to "Shu Ke"."

After knowing what Mi Yang meant, Lu Yi couldn't help admonishing him: "The Shen brothers are bound by a dense net, so they are unpopular. If the governor Yihong is lenient, the people will naturally be happy."

Although Mi Yang expressed his intention to act in accordance with the law, Lu Yi knew that those members of the Shen family had worked as slaves for many years, and their crimes were basically capital offenses if they were dealt with according to the strict "Shu Ke".

In this way, most of the hundreds of members of the Shen family will die.

In Lu Yi's view, this is not conducive to stabilizing the hearts of Hanxing County.

And Mi Yang, as the prefect of Hanxing County, holds the judicial power of a county, so as long as Mi Yang is tolerant, then those hundreds of people can save their lives.

After listening to Lu Yi's suggestion, Mi Yang said to Lu Yi: "The Shen family has no morals, the government is harsh, the people complain, the common people cry out, and they are displaced.

Moreover, the Shen family has employed cronies, since Chuping, for decades, Han Xing's people's hearts were depressed, scholars and scholars respected each other, the government was not virtuous, and the punishment was not serious.

The members of Shen's party, who monopolize power and self-indulgence, gradually replace it with mausoleums, commit many crimes, and the people have been waiting for them for a long time.

I decided at the beginning of Han Xing that we must enforce the law and punish the evil before promoting the good.

There is no need to forgive today's death and past sins.

Only in this way can the hearts of the people be happy and the county government clear. "

After hearing what Mi Yang said, Lu Yi knew that Mi Yang had made up his mind, so he stopped persuading him.

But when Lu Yi was about to take the order to leave, Mi Yang gave another order:

"After beheading members of the Shin family who committed capital crimes, hang their heads over the city gate.

I want the people inside and outside the city to see that I have eliminated their enemies for them. "

Mi Yang's order made Lu Yi tremble, and then he took the order and left.
