Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 227 Dutian Case Comparison ([-])

Looking at this year's latest account book, Liu Xiu's brows became more and more wrinkled.

Too many, too many questions.

Each county has reduced a large number of people and acres.

He fought all over the world, especially in the Central Plains. He beat him all over the place. Although he couldn't say how many acres each county in the Central Plains could have, he had a rough estimate in his heart.

For example, the Guo family of Zhending Kingdom is the family of his queen.

When he was down and out, he was supported by the Guo family, which gave him the capital to defeat Wang Lang.

He has been to Zhending Kingdom several times. Although he doesn't know the population, it doesn't look like it has a population of 11.

There are too many places with obvious problems like this, and many places are also the hometowns of heroes.

"Go and inform Da Situ that these accounting books are too problematic, and let the counties and countries submit a new accounting book, and no falsification is allowed." Liu Xiu ordered indifferently.

"No." The eunuch agreed, and then left to convey the emperor's words to Da Situ.

……

Three months later
News spread to Liaodong that Emperor Liu Xiu ordered the counties and states to re-submit their accounting books.

"The tyrants of the Central Plains really made a false report, what should we do next?" Lu Yiran asked.

"Let the planners arrive in Luoyang as scheduled with the false data, and continue to wait and see what happens." Wang Bian replied.

……

another month later

The planners from various counties arrived in Luoyang for the second time.

"False report! False report! Still false report!"

Liu Xiu was furious. He didn't expect that local officials and tyrants would be so courageous to make false reports twice in a row.

Moreover, the false data reported twice before and after are exactly the same, as if to tell him: Anyway, there is only such a small population and acres of land, you want it if you want it, don't let it down.

When seeing the accounting books of Chenliu County, Liu Xiu also found that there was a bamboo slip mixed with the accounting books of the officials in Chenliu County, and saw a line of small characters on the bamboo slips: Yingchuan Hongnong can ask, Henan Nanyang can’t ask .

???

Emperor Liu Xiu was confused, and then asked the eunuch to call the official of Chenliu County who had not yet left Luoyang.

Not long after, the chief strategist of Chenliu County came to the palace.

"Who gave you this slip of yours?" Liu Xiu asked coldly.

"Your servant... picked it up on Changshou Street." Chenliu County's chief strategist replied swallowing his saliva.

boom!
The always good-tempered emperor Liu Xiu finally couldn't bear it any longer, and slapped the calloused palm on Zhuo's case angrily, and angrily reprimanded the senior planner: "It's a capital offense to bully the emperor!"

"Your Majesty...it was really picked up by the minister..." The chief strategist in Chenliu County seemed afraid to tell the truth, and would rather be executed by the emperor than tell the truth. Still dreadful fear greeted him.

"Come here, take him into a prison for interrogation!" Emperor Liu Xiu lost his patience and asked the court guards to drag away the chief strategist in Chenliu County.

The chief planner in Chenliu County shed tears silently, and he didn't dare to beg for mercy, let alone tell the truth, so he could only close his eyes and wait for the day when he would be beheaded.

At this time, the prince Liu Yang (Liu Zhuang) who was standing behind said: "This matter may be that the local officials were ordered by the county guard to compare with the data of the land in various counties as a standard."

Prince Liu Yang (Liu Zhuang)’s explanation seems to have opened Liu Xiu’s mind, but Liu Xiu continued to ask: “If this is the case, why can’t Nanyang, Henan not ask?”

The extremely intelligent prince Liu Yang continued to reply: "The capital of the emperor is in Henan County, and there are many close ministers of His Majesty, and Nanyang County is the hometown of the emperor, with many honored relatives and nobles, so the phenomenon of land merger in these two places is relatively serious, and it cannot be used as the capital of Chenliu County. false standard."

"It seems that if you don't kill some people, these people really use my imperial power as a display, hum!" Liu Xiu snorted coldly, and immediately began to arrange people to investigate.

……

another three months later

Da Situ Ouyang Ouyang She was executed!
The prefect of Langya County, the prefect of Wei County, the prefect of Qinghe County, the prefect of Zhao County, the prefect of Julu County, the prefect of Changshan County, the prefect of Zhongshan County, the prefect of Hejian County, the prefect of Xindu County, the prefect of Guangping County, the prefect of Zhuo County, the prefect of Shanggu County , Taishou of Yuyang County, Taishou of Pingyuan County, Taishou of Dongjun County, Taishou of Beihai County, Taishou of Jinan County, Taishou of Yingchuan County, Taishou of Nanyang County, Taishou of Hongnong County, Henan Yin, Jizhou Governor, Qingzhou Governor, Yanzhou Governor, Yuzhou Governor , Youzhou Governor.

All of the above lists were beheaded for public display!
Hundreds of county magistrates have been beheaded, and hundreds of minor officials have been beheaded.

The number of people who were arrested and imprisoned for investigation was even more numerous, and even many founding heroes were arrested and imprisoned for interrogation.

Even the relatives of Da Sima Gengyan were arrested by Liu Xiu.

A major earthquake in the officialdom shook the whole world!

While killing or investigating these local officials, Emperor Liu Xiu appointed his absolute cronies to serve as new officials in the local area to conduct an on-the-spot investigation of the population of the land.

……

another month later

One month after the official earthquake

Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and even Sili, large-scale "bandits" broke out everywhere.

These "bandits" who suddenly appeared boldly entered the government and killed the county magistrates, prefects, and governors appointed by Emperor Liu Xiugang. After killing the officials appointed by Liu Xiu himself, these "bandits" suddenly disappeared.

When Emperor Liu Xiu appointed new officials to continue investigating the local situation, the disappeared 'bandits' reappeared and continued to kill the new officials.

……

Liaodong
Taishoufu

"The Guo family of Hebei invited us in Liaodong to fight against the big man. Let's talk about it." The prefect Zhang Yuliang said to everyone, he was very worried.

The facts that have happened in the past few months are dazzling.

Emperor Liu Xiu executed more than a dozen prefects, hundreds of county magistrates, and hundreds of minor officials in one go.

If it wasn't for their honesty in Liaodong, they took the initiative to report more population, [-] before, and now [-], thereby winning the favor of Emperor Liu Xiu, I am afraid that a large part of Liaodong's officialdom will die.

This Guo family is naturally the family of Queen Guo Shengtong.

Because their family merged too much land, the powerful gentry who married the Guo family also merged a large amount of land, and the emperor loved Yin Lihua too much, which made the Hebei tyrants feel the crisis, so facing the emperor Liu Xiu this time They actually chose to directly violently resist the tax when they were hard-pressed to check the population of the land.

If a big man dares to collect our taxes, then we will directly rebel!

"Liu Xiu is no longer that wage earner Liu Xiu. He is the emperor who holds the power of life and death!" Wang Bian said inexplicably.

The other three were thoughtful, Zhang Yuliang sighed and said: "Who would have thought that the wage earner who was pushed to the front of the stage by the Nanyang tyrants to help them rob, and the leader of Hebei who was supported by the Hebei tyrants back then, would leave now So far?"

"The world... I'm afraid it will return to the troubled times again. This big man... I'm afraid it's a pill!" Li Chengyou sighed, and then added: "It seems that we have to prepare early and wait for the troubled times to come. Continue to look for someone who can help you." Ming lord!"

"I don't know..." Wang Bian also couldn't see the situation in this world clearly. It was too chaotic. The big Han who had just been unified, but in just over a year, rebellions broke out in several states in the whole world at the same time. It's like subjugation.

But Liu Xiu's terrifying record of three thousand defeating 42 made Wang Bian very hesitant, making her vaguely feel that even if the world is in trouble again, Liu Xiu can still rely on his strong military talent to reunify.

Facing the complicated situation, she could only sigh: "Let's take one step at a time. Don't be in a hurry for the rebels. Wait a minute. If the rebels win, we will rebel with the rebels. If the court wins, We will help the court suppress the rebels."

"But what if the court and the rebels are tied, or the court and the rebels reconcile?" Lu Yiran asked.

"Huh?" Such a guess is very novel, and it is something that Wang Bian has never thought of.
