Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 59 Attacking the heart is the first, Zheng Ping has long sleeves and is good at dancing

Food and rice for disaster relief from greedy ink can appear in any dynasty, and the probability is even higher in troubled times.

Zheng Ping has insight into people's hearts and knows that powerful and evil officials who are greedy for ink and food for disaster relief are unavoidable.

If there is interest, some people will take risks.

As for the life and death of these hungry people, what difference does it make to them?

Even Hou Wen, the censor, would fill his own pockets with relief food and rice. How could Zheng Ping believe that the officials of Ande County would serve the people wholeheartedly.

If the evil officials are greedy and the powerful want to gather food, Zheng Ping doesn't mind letting these powerful and evil officials who want to take advantage of the opportunity to make money in the country know what is the same crime of buying and selling, and what is ruthless.

Right now the yellow scarves are popular, but most of the yellow scarves are common people Li Shu who have been wronged, and there is a resentment in their hearts that is hard to vent.

To appease the lives of this group of forbidden, powerful and evil officials is tantamount to sending them to the door to vent their anger.

As for whether it will cause backlash?
There is no perfect decision in this world.

If he didn't dare to exercise power over powerful and evil officials who broke the law and discipline, then Zheng Ping's ambitions for the world would not be established.

If the heart is not ruthless, how can the world be determined?

With Deng Xu's reminder, Guan Zan didn't dare to be negligent.

"Deng Duwei, that is Mr. Rong, a hermit outside Ande City, who is quite famous." Guan Zan also reciprocated.

There are many famous scholars in Pingyuan County.

There are well-known officials like Hua Xin, and there are also local rich or poor families such as Liu, Guan, Gao, Xi, Yi, Yan, Rong, Ximen, and Bing. Wild scholars.

The old Mr. Rong that Guan Zan was talking about was a member of the Rong family. He was disappointed by the corruption of officials, so he chose to go back to the mountains and forests. between.

This is the choice of many Qingliu scholars in this era.

Deng Xu suddenly realized.

The old Mr. Rong in front of him must have heard of Liu Bei's reputation and saw through Deng Xu's purpose, so he chose to help Deng Xu gather the hearts of the people of the Yellow Turban.

"In charge of the county magistrate, the Fujun is employing people. If there are more hermits like Mr. Rong supporting the Fujun, it will be easier to appease the Yellow Turban."

The governing philosophy of the boss often affects the administrative attitude of the subordinates.

Liu Bei is dedicated to saving the people, and Deng Xu will also be influenced by Liu Bei's benevolence in his actions.

Since there are hermits like Mr. Rong who can appease these yellow scarves, why can't there be more?

Guan Zan was a little hesitant: "But these hermits don't want to become officials before returning to the mountains and forests. How can we get them to support the Fujun?"

"It's okay, when Lord Cheng Cheng comes, there will be a solution." When Zheng Ping was mentioned, Deng Xu's eyes became more confident.

Guan Zan was taken aback: "Master Jun Cheng is coming to Ande County?"

Deng Xu nodded: "The Yellow Turbans who conquered Ande County this time were originally commanded by Lord Chancellor."

Seeing the astonishment on Guan Zan's face, Deng Xu laughed again: "Don't use such an expression, Lord Juncheng is not only good at dealing with politicians and people, this time I was able to defeat the main force of the yellow scarves outside Ande City in one battle, thanks to Lord Cheng count."

The shock in Guan Zan's heart was even worse!

It was dusk.

Zheng Ping led eight hundred soldiers to Ande City.

Seeing this orderly killing of the county soldiers, the old and weak yellow scarves outside the city were shocked again.

"Master Juncheng!"

Deng Xu, Guan Zan and others stepped forward to salute one after another.

Zheng Ping glanced at the crowd, but there was an aura of calm and prestige under the seemingly warm eyes.

"Why didn't Captain Ande come?"

Guan Zan couldn't help but be surprised by the indifferent question.

Guan Zan hurriedly said: "The lower officials have already sent someone to communicate."

But in his heart, Guan Zan couldn't help scolding Chen Shi all over.

The county magistrate came, but the county magistrate didn't come to see him. Isn't this embarrassing him, the county magistrate?

"Can the food in the county still be turned around?" Zheng Ping didn't get angry, but asked about the food for relief.

Guan Zan didn't dare to hide it, and said truthfully: "Master Juncheng, there is not enough food in this county, and the lower officials borrowed food from big households in the city. Although it can solve the urgent need, it is impossible for large households to borrow food all the time. It won't be long."

It is easy to break the Yellow Turban, but it is very troublesome to install the Yellow Turban.

After all, most of the yellow scarves are chosen because they can't eat.

There have always been only two ways to solve the Yellow Turban problem.

One is like Huangfusong, who refuses to accept captives and kills the yellow scarves whenever they see them. Even if these yellow scarves are caught, they have to dig a hole to bury them.

Then build the Beijing Temple to deter those who want to rebel.

This method is simple and crude, but effective.

After all, the rebellious Yellow Turbans are dead, so naturally there is no need to solve the food problem for the Yellow Turbans.

The other is to use both suppression and appeasement to suppress the stubborn Yellow Turbans and appease the rest of the Yellow Turbans who are coerced or willing to surrender.

This method is more benevolent, but it is more difficult to implement than the first method.

To appease them, they must be given fields and food to help them restore their homes.

This is not easy to do.

Even if there is a lot of unowned land due to the war, it can be allocated to the Yellow Turban.

But this grain cannot grow from the ground instantly.

If you want food, you can only distribute it to the big households that have food.

But how could these big households easily distribute food to the Yellow Turbans?

The big households in Ande City were willing to borrow grain because they didn't want to offend Liu Bei at this time, so they would lend a part of the grain to Guan Zan to express their cooperation.

But there is also a limit to borrowing food, and the big family should not feel that there is too much loss of interest.

"Immediately call the representatives of the big households in the city. After half an hour, the county government will discuss the matter!" Zheng Ping acted resolutely, without any hesitation, he gave the order to Guan Zan.

After Guan Zan left, Deng Xu approached Zheng Ping and said in a low voice, "Master Juncheng, it is thanks to the help of Mr. Hermit Rong that I was able to appease the Yellow Turbans outside the city this time."

"The lower officials think that the ruler of the government is just at the time of employing people, and a hermit like Mr. Rong who is well-known in the countryside should be allowed to serve the country."

"But the officials are so light-hearted, it's hard to extend the invitation."

Deng Xu gave Zheng Ping a brief statement of Mr. Rong's cooperation in appeasing the Yellow Turban.

"Lieutenant Deng Du, you have a heart! When you return to the county office, I will definitely show merit for you." Zheng Ping praised without hesitation.

Deng Xu couldn't hide the joy in his tone: "They are all doing things for the lord, and the subordinates dare not take credit."

Mr. Rong's surname is Rong, his name is Zhen, and his style name is Zide. He is nearly seventy years old now.

Zheng Ping came to Rong Zhen, got off his horse, and performed the ceremony of a junior.

"Zheng Ping, the son of Beihai Zheng Xuan, met Mr. Rong."

"I am fortunate to have my husband help me today, and this junior is very grateful."

Rong Zhen saw that Zheng Ping, in the body of the Jun Cheng, was showing him the courtesy of a junior, so he dared not be negligent, and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, is so old, if it wasn't for the benevolence of the Lord and the Prime Minister, the old man would have died today. "
