Han family achievements

Chapter 146
at night.

Liu Bian hugged Tang Ji and was fast asleep.

In a daze, he felt that the bed was trembling, he ignored it, frowned, and continued to sleep.

But the shaking of the bed continued to increase, and soon turned into a shaking.

Liu Bian woke up suddenly, looked at the shaking curtain, picked up Tang Ji violently, strode out, and shouted at the same time: "Earthquake! Earthquake!"

When Liu Bian ran to the door, Pan Yin ran over in a panic and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Liu Bian put Tang Ji down, felt the tremors on the ground, the trembling of the trees and walls not far away, with a solemn expression, and said: "Decree, order everyone to leave the house and hide in an open place. Next! Pass the decree to Zhao Yun and order him to lead people to protect the officials. Pass the decree on Luoyang to immediately treat and appease the common people. Dian Wei, you send someone to bring your grandmother, King Bohai, to Yongle Palace. Now, guard me Go to Yongle Palace."

A group of people responded in panic, surrounded Liu Bian, and walked towards Yongle Palace.

Although the tremors were not severe, everyone was still worried. They walked away from the wall and walked quickly towards Yongle Palace.

There was a great chaos in the palace, although Pan Yin and others tried their best to appease them, but the servants and maids were still yelling in fear and rushing around while the ground was shaking .

It was even more so outside the palace. The entire Luoyang County seemed to have been turned upside down. Countless people were panicking and running around like headless chickens.

Under the earthquake, there is no high or low!
When Liu Bian arrived at Yongle Palace, Empress Dowager He rushed out with disheveled hair, clasped her arms with both hands, and said frightenedly, "Bian'er, Bian'er, are you alright?"

Liu Bian quickly pressed her hands and said, "Don't be afraid, queen mother, I'm here, I'm fine."

Empress Dowager He became more stable now, holding Liu Bian's arm firmly with one hand, and looked around in shock.

The tremors on the ground are slowly weakening, the roof and walls are covered with tiles, and the bricks are falling, making a heart-pounding sound.

Liu Bian led a large group of people to stand in the open space of the courtyard, forcibly keeping calm and waiting quietly.

He still can't judge whether Luoyang is the center of the earthquake or whether it was affected by aftershocks.

Everyone was restless, apprehensive and fearful, surrounding Liu Bian.

This is not the first time that Luoyang City has been hit by an earthquake, and every time there are countless casualties.

Not long after, Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie were also escorted by the imperial guards. Empress Dowager Dong followed closely behind Liu Xie with a terrified expression.

Liu Xie had a sullen face, his eyes were full of fear.

Liu Bian looked at them and said with a smile, "Grandmother, brother, don't worry, it's not a big earthquake."

The two reluctantly nodded, with stiff faces, unable to speak.

Empress Dowager He didn't have time to confront Empress Dowager Dong, she pulled Liu Bian's arm, her face pale.

After an unknown amount of time, Pan Yin took a step forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, it seems to have stopped."

Feeling the stability of his feet, Liu Bian stared around, nodded and said, "Don't move, just wait."

Pan Yin and the others understood and stood still.

Earthquakes don't just stop when they say they stop, and there may be a backhanded carbine at any time.

After a while, Liu Bian heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It should be an aftershock. It's all over. Grandmother, queen mother, and emperor don't have to worry about it. Sit over there for a while and have a rest."

Everyone reluctantly nodded and walked into the pavilion.

Liu Bian looked at them, turned his head and said to Pan Yin in a low voice: "It is said that Yang Biao, Wang Yun, Dong Zhuo, Liu Cao Shangshu, Jiuqing, etc. entered the palace. The Luoyang order was ordered to do a good job in the aftermath and appeasement of the people in Luoyang city. .Also, find out where the earthquake happened."

"Yes." Pan Yin didn't dare to relax, and bowed back with restless eyes.

Liu Bian turned his head and glanced, the servants and maids in the palace were already rushing to put out the fire and clean up the place.

He took a deep breath, rubbed his cheeks, walked into the pavilion with a smile, and comforted Empress Dowager Dong, Empress Dowager He, Liu Xie, Tang Ji and others.

The crowd nodded reluctantly, still in shock, and did not have the strength to speak.

The maid brought hot tea and poured it for several people.

Empress Dowager Dong, Empress Dowager He, Liu Xie, and Tang Ji picked up their teacups and took a sip. Only then did their expressions soothe, as if they were in a trance of being alive.

Empress Dowager He calmed down for a while, glanced at Empress Dowager Dong, stretched out her hand to hold Liu Bian, and said with a smile, "It's still Bian'er, who rushed to save Empress Mother at the first time, Empress Mother didn't love you in vain."

Empress Dowager Dong did not speak, she looked sullenly at Liu Bian.

Although he was extremely dissatisfied with Empress Dowager He and Liu Bian, who was born to Empress Dowager He, even full of hatred, but Liu Bian was somewhat relieved to think of him this time.

Liu Xie sat there quietly with a sullen face, unable to understand the emperor brother.

Tang Ji was very happy. She pursed her lips and stared at Liu Bian with eyes like water, because she escaped from Liu Bian's arms.

After a while, Pan Yin came up in small steps, and whispered behind Liu Bian: "Your Majesty, all the courtiers have arrived at the Jiade Hall."

Liu Bian nodded, took a sip of tea, and said to Empress Dowager Dong, Empress Dowager He, "Grandmother, Empress Mother, I still want to appease the courtiers..."

Before Liu Bian finished speaking, Empress Dowager He hurriedly said: "Go, I will do your work, and leave this place to Empress Mother."

Liu Bian looked at Empress Dowager He, wanted to remind her, but after thinking about it for a while, he turned and went to the Jiade Hall.

Empress Dowager He watched Liu Bian's back, picked up the teacup, and drank tea gracefully. She glanced at Empress Dowager Dong from the corner of her eye, her eyes full of sneering complacency.

Empress Dowager Dong ignored her at all.

When Liu Bian arrived at the Jiade Hall, he saw that the hall was full of nearly 20 people.

Of the 20 people, none of them was relaxed, all of them were gazing, and gathered together in twos and threes to whisper.

"Your Majesty, I will see you." When Liu Bian came in, they immediately stopped talking, and Qiqi raised their hands and bowed.

After Liu Bian sat down, he smiled and said, "Your gentlemen, you are welcome."

A group of people stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Bian looked at his expression, and said: "The Qing family was also frightened?"

Seeing Liu Bian's calmness, more than a dozen people felt less nervous. Xun You impatiently raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, according to my observation, the earthquake probably came from Sanfu."

Liu Bian's smile slowly subsided, and he said, "Can the Qing family be sure?"

The others also looked at Xun You, and their expressions changed again.

Xun You pondered for a while, and said, "Nine out of ten."

Liu Bian nodded silently, his eyes revealing his thoughts.

This is not the first time that Sansuke has experienced an earthquake.The point is that Sansuke was not only affected by earthquakes and severe disasters, the Qiang invasion a few years ago also shattered Sansuke's land.

The number of victims who fled from Sansuke is as high as 10!

In this earthquake, disaster relief needs a lot of money and food!

Liu Bian looked around at the expressions of the courtiers, and said, "What do you think?"

Everyone lowered their heads, and no one spoke.Everyone knows the difficulties of the imperial court, but from ten years ago to now, the methods that can be used to raise money have almost been exhausted.

Liu Bian nodded expressionlessly, and said: "There must be a pot of porridge outside, everyone please go to appease me, I will find a way to deal with the money and food. Except for Xunqing's family, everyone else should go."

The courtiers saw Liu Bian being so eloquent, and many of them showed guilt, hesitated to speak, and raised their hands and said, "I will take my leave."

After everyone left, Xun You stood up, stepped forward and stood not far from Liu Bian, bowed his body, and said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, Ding Yuan, Cao Cao captured a lot in Yanzhou, which may make up for one or two."

"It's not enough for Yanzhou relief."

Liu Bian directly vetoed it, and then murmured: "I plan to set up a bank."

Xun You was thoughtful and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to use it to collect taxes on tea and salt?"

The so-called treasury in the Han Dynasty itself was a kind of tax collection agency for local counties or governments.

Liu Bian thought about it carefully, and said: "No. In short, it is to use the imperial court as a guarantee to deposit a certain amount of principal and assume the responsibility of the reserve. The rich will deposit the money in, and the bank will pay a certain amount of interest according to the time agreement. .”

Xun You was startled, and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to borrow money from the family?"

Liu Bian was still thinking about the feasibility and gains and losses, and said: "It can't be understood in this way. The bank receives the money, can lend it out, or exchange it across states and counties, or mortgage it, pawn it, and earn a certain amount of interest from it... ..."

Xun You is an extremely smart person, so he quickly understood, and after thinking about it, he said, "Your Majesty, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, many wealthy families and ordinary people have felt uneasy. If the court is used as a guarantee, it may be of great use!"

Bandits and bandits are rampant everywhere, and even the big clans in Yingchuan have to flee, so it can be seen in other places!With the guarantee from the imperial court, too many people will be eager to deposit their money in the bank!

Liu Bian was still thinking about the complexity and possible consequences, and said to himself, "I still have to take care of it so that it doesn't go astray."

Liu Bian thought about it again and again, looked at Xun You deeply, and said: "Taicang will be used as a guarantee, and the Shangshutai will go forward to endorse it. The Qing family will also serve as the order of Taicang. Draw up the detailed rules as soon as possible, select the manpower, and carefully teach them. With Luoyang as the center, first lay the surrounding areas. The county, the important officials of the imperial court should come forward to guide and encourage the big families to save money!"

Xun You didn't expect Liu Bian to have such a whimsical idea, which might be able to solve the urgent need of the court, so he solemnly raised his hand and said, "Your minister leads the decree!"

Liu Bian got up and said, "It's not too late, the Qing family hastened preparations. As for Sanfu's disaster relief, Zhenzhong Mansion has 60 gold and [-] silver, and the Qing family will sell them to relieve the victims of the Sanfu disaster."

Xun You's expression changed suddenly, his heart was shaken, he wanted to refuse, hesitated a few times, his eyes were firm, and said: "Your Majesty, these are borrowed by the imperial court from His Majesty's central government, and they will be returned in full in the future!"

He thought of the first emperor, the emperor who was so greedy for money, he would do anything for money, even took the lead in openly selling officials and nobles. Now, can he use the money to relieve the victims?
The answer is yes.

Liu Bian waved his hand and said: "The land of Sanfu will be exempted from taxes for another five years. Pan Yin, order Yushitai and Xingcao to order them to take turns patrolling the land of Sanfu to arrest corrupt officials. Who dares to help the disaster?" When it comes to money and food, no matter how big or small, cut first and play later!"

Hearing Liu Bian's murderous words, Xun You's heart trembled, and he raised his hand and said, "I respectfully obey the will!"

"The villain leads the order." Pan Yin said.

Liu Bian looked at Xun You and said, "In the name of Shangshutai, order Bingzhou to take in victims from Sanfu, as much as it can take."

"The minister takes the decree." Xun You said.

Liu Bian hummed, got up and said: "The decree will continue, the imperial court will implement strict thrift and thrift from now on, and the palace expenses will be cut in half."

Xun You stared at Liu Bian, his heart was shaken very much, and his eyes were faintly astringent.

The young Majesty in front of me is diligent, lenient, caring for the people, wise, decisive, not greedy for money, not lecherous, and has no bad habits, which is completely different from the previous generations of emperors!

'The Holy King is alive! Xun You was so excited that he couldn't help but slowly knelt on the ground and bowed silently.

Liu Bian was still thinking about the bank, when he saw Xun You suddenly knelt down, he couldn't help being startled, and said, "What else happened?"

Xun You woke up startled, and hurriedly said: "There is nothing else, minister, minister, leave."

Liu Bian looked at Xun You going out with a strange expression, then calmed down and said suddenly, "Zhao Yun!"

Zhao Yun was dressed in silver armor, came out from the side door, and said in a very crisp voice: "The minister is here!"

Liu Bian thought and thought, looked at him, and said: "You take a thousand forbidden troops to escort the King of Bohai to Sanfu's land, and patrol the disaster situation on my behalf. Remember, go in good condition and come back in good condition!"

Zhao Yun raised his hand and said: "The minister receives the order!"

Liu Bian nodded, exhaled lightly, his expression was not so nervous and flustered.

Although it is a sudden natural disaster, it can still be dealt with in general.

Liu Bian looked at the gradually brightening sky outside the palace gate, and said, "Change into casual clothes and leave the palace."

Pan Yin responded and greeted Dian Wei.

Dian Wei nodded his head heavily, dispatched people, changed into plain clothes, and escorted Liu Bian out of the palace.

Liu Bian walked out of Suzaku Gate, sat on the carriage, opened the curtains, and looked at both sides of the road.

"It's not as chaotic as I expected..."

Liu Bian looked at it for a while, then murmured softly to himself.

There was no panic, and the people returned home one after another. There were not many people on the street. Except for a few fires that were still being fought, everything was relatively stable.

"The court is unfair, and people's hearts are against each other; if you don't practice moral government, you will be warned by God!"

Suddenly, a man with the appearance of a Taoist priest came out of an alley not far away, and shouted in a drawn-out voice.

Behind him was a group of children, chasing and shouting noisily.

Liu Bian turned his head and looked at the Taoist priest quietly. The sky was not bright enough to see his face clearly.

"The current emperor, since his ascension to the throne, has acted madly and rebelliously, making the world miserable. Slaughtering loyal people, hurting the people, and wasting the world..."

"God warns that the country is in danger because of the fault of one person!"

"The moon will rise, and the sun will sink; the king of the opposite sex will perish in Han!"

The Taoist priest sang and yelled as he walked.

"Bold!"

A group of Luoyang county guards rushed over and scolded: "You dare to slander the emperor, you don't want to live anymore?"

The Taoist smiled and said, "You said I slandered the emperor, what did you say?"

The leading officer was stunned by him, unable to repeat.

But a younger guard behind him said loudly: "The current emperor, since he took the throne, has acted recklessly and made the world miserable. Slaughtering loyal people, hurting the people, and wasting the world. You are going to punish the nine-year-old!"

The Taoist looked calm, shook his head and said: "You don't read books, and you don't know history. These are the words of Emperor Sejong, did I make them up?"

The guards were stunned, not knowing whether it was true or not, but they couldn't think of anything else to say, they looked at each other, not knowing how to help.

When the Taoist saw it, he smiled brightly, and said, "All these words of mine have their sources, and it's not that I'm slandering them."

Pan Yin looked ugly, walked into Liu Bian's carriage, lowered his head, and said, "Your Majesty, do you need a villain to deal with it?"

Sitting in the carriage, Liu Bian said with his usual expression, "Look again."

Pan Yin stepped back, turned her head to look at it, her eyes were indifferent.

The guards were somewhat at a loss and whispered.

"Catch him, don't let him continue talking nonsense!"

"He is so bold to yell in the street. Looking at the clothes he is wearing, he still doesn't know which high school he came from. Don't ask for trouble."

"That can't be left alone, right? It's hard to explain if the higher-ups pursue it."

"Then, drive him away?"

"Okay, drive away!"

Before the guards could do anything, the Taoist said with a smile again: "If you drive me away, it will damage the morality, and it will be very difficult for your county magistrate."

"What's so difficult!?"

Not far away, Wang Lang came with a large group of people.

The Taoist looked at Wang Lang and said with an undiminished smile, "Wang Jingxing."

Wang Lang snorted coldly, and said: "Where there is a disaster, there must be rumors. Evil people, wanton rumors! Come, arrest!"

The Taoist said calmly, "Magistrate Wang, you are also a person who has read a lot of poetry and books. I don't know which sentence is a rumor and which sentence is a lie? The heavens warn you, and you should introspect yourself. Why put the cart before the horse and fear In human terms?"

Wang Lang said with a blank face, "You can fool the ignorant people with your words, but you can't use them on me! Take them back, torture them with words and deeds, and see if you have orders!"

The Taoist's smile disappeared, and he looked at Wang Lang calmly, and said, "Magistrate Wang, do you dare to bet? I expect the emperor to fast and self-examine and sacrifice to the gods. He may even change the Yuan Dynasty and issue an edict to sin against himself."

Wang Lang's eyes became colder, and he said, "Shut his mouth! Put him in prison, if he talks nonsense again, pull out his tongue!"

The guards responded immediately, knocked down the Taoist priest, tied him up, and carried him away.

The Taoist calmly said loudly: "Magistrate Wang, please distinguish between right and wrong, and understand the righteousness!"

Wang Lang snorted, and said to the guards: "Continue to patrol, if there is any lawlessness, but arrest them, all things will be borne by the county!"

"Your Majesty!" The guards responded loudly, without the hesitation before.

Liu Bian looked at Wang Lang through the curtain, and said with a smile, "This Wang Lang is indeed a talent, and it is suitable for him to be placed in Shanyang County."

"Let's go, turn around." Liu argued.

Pan Yin responded and ordered the plainclothes guards to turn around.

Wang Lang turned his head, looked at Liu Bian's carriage, and continued walking without thinking too much.

Luoyang City was affected by aftershocks, some people were injured, some houses collapsed, some were caught on fire, and some bandits took the opportunity to make trouble. Wang Lang will be very busy these days.

Liu Bian turned around and returned to the palace when the sky was bright.

On the way back to Jingfu Hall, he said to Dianwei, "Dianwei, are there many rumors like this outside the palace?"

Dian Wei lowered his head, looked at the back of Liu Bian's head, and said, "I don't know, but as long as there is a disaster, there must be rumors, and there are all kinds of rumors."

Liu Bian nodded, and said: "Pan Yin, send a message to Shang Shutai, expressly prohibiting all false rumors and false rumors, those who take the lead in creating rumors, and wantonly spread them, they have ulterior motives!"

"Yes." Pan Yin replied.

Liu Bian returned to the study, a little sleepy, before he could close his eyes and fall asleep, a small yellow door hurried in and whispered something in Pan Yin's ear at the door.

Pan Yin's expression suddenly changed, he waved his hand, and came to Liu Bian, with sullen face, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Huangfu Jianchang has sent news that he found Jian Shuo in Runan."
