I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 145 Communication

It is said that Zhang Jian was missed when he stayed at home, and Zhang Jian fled when the party was imprisoned. Those families who were willing to take Zhang Jian were ruined because of this. Is it just to gain fame?

The existence of morality is also real.

This is also what Liu Bian wants to maintain.

In an era of human rule, people's moral standards are of vital importance.

Of course, Liu Bian will never only believe in morality. A reasonable system that conforms to the times is the real guarantee.

He doesn't want to get stuck in a cycle similar to that of sending people to monitor and monitor and monitor.

Liu Bian had high hopes for the trilogy brought out by Guan Yu.

After mentioning the wealthy families, Guan Yu brought up the issue of imperial students.

The first thing he mentioned was Chen Rong and Mao Fang who left a deep impression on him in Heyang County.

Liu Bian also had an impression of Chen Rong. Like Cui Yan, he was a progressive young man who responded to his call.

He knew about the problems Mao Fang encountered.

Of course, technological progress is correct. In future generations, the problems caused by it can be controlled by the state. Especially for the Chinese, this is what the country should do.

But the problem is that in the Han Dynasty, the government only played a ruthless villain in this process.

In other words, the common people have become accustomed to staying together through bloodline clans for warmth, and the government, to a certain extent, is a vampire that they cannot avoid.

For Liu Bian, as long as the tax system is reformed and the tax on the head is transferred to the land, the problem will not be difficult to solve.

But the tax system of the Han Dynasty, which lasted for nearly 400 years, is not so easy to change!

Making this reform is no different from re-conquering the land, and we must be prepared for the whole world to rebel.

But Liu Bian was not ready yet.

The farming in Guanzhong and Liangzhou had just started not long ago. The rebels were facing the direction of Liangzhou. The third assistant in Guanzhong would have to wait until at least May next year to harvest a large amount of summer grain. Only a real harvest could make the Qiang and Huns participating in the farming return home.

Sanhe's officialdom is still in the process of rectification.

Xun Yu's idea of ​​"sitting in Sili, taking deep roots to consolidate the foundation to control the world" has not yet been completed, especially in Guanzhong. As long as it can remain safe, the three auxiliary areas still have great development potential and can accommodate a larger population. .

As long as the tax system is not changed and grassroots governance is difficult to control, Liu Bian has no good solution.

He said to Guan Yu: "Huangfu Gongzheng led the Qiang and Huns to farm in the Sanfu area and brought them under control. The Qiang in Liangzhou were also blocked in the west of Longxi County. Now Jing Zhaoyin and You Fufeng can make The people went to farm."

All Liu Bian can do now is to open the door for the people who have lost their land to enter Guanzhong and participate in farming.

But how many people are willing to leave their homes? Will it be the same as when the Seven Commanderies were flooded? Liu Bian cannot guarantee it.

Guan Yu didn't come up with any good ideas along the way.

The helpers are miserable, but they still have some land, and the tenants who have gone bankrupt are even worse...

There are many people in need of help, but the court does not have the ability.

Guan Yu continued: "This matter may be entrusted to imperial students like Chen Rong and Mao Fang. Your Highness, when I returned to Luoyang this time, I deliberately walked from the countryside. I saw that although some of the imperial students who were rural officials were loyal to their duties, they were also frivolous. People who do things.”

The gap between reality and ideals... Of course Liu Bian understood that this was something he had expected.

It is difficult to switch from extravagance to frugality. Even now, Liu Bian is not willing to refuse the servant who is responsible for serving him. He is not willing to do everything himself.

"Is there anyone who could harm one party?" Liu Bian asked. "Never found."

Liu Bian nodded. At least on this point, the imperial students did not disappoint: "In that case, there is no rush to intervene. The annual examination for officials is coming soon, so it will not be too late to deal with it then."

Afterwards, Guan Yu recommended to Liu Bian Ma Ying, who had been accompanying him in the Ministry of Hanoi.

"Ma Ying is an experienced official and knows local affairs well."

After being in contact with him for a long time, Guan Yu had long understood the abilities of Ma Ying, who was sent by Zhang Wen to assist him, and Zhang Wen said that he had gone through a lot of polishing.

But even so, Ma Ying's experience as a clerk for many years also gave him a lot of help, and Ma Ying did not cheat, so he recommended Ma Ying to the prince without hesitation, who knew the place well.

Liu Bian has his own reasons.

At the end, Guan Yu couldn't help but ask: "Now that the General of Chariots and Cavalry has been promoted to the rank of General, where will we and the former General of Chariots and Cavalry go?"

Liu Bian asked: "Is there anyone short of money and food supplies?"

Guan Yu shook his head: "No one has ever dared to do this."

"Then let's maintain the status quo for the time being!" Liu Bian thought for a while and said, "I heard that Wu Fu, the former general's Dongcao vassal, was upright, brave and righteous. Yun Changke summoned him to his side to observe him. Let’s see if he can be entrusted with important tasks.”

Guan Yu did not doubt that the prince wanted to use this person to sway him, so he readily agreed.

Of course Liu Bian was willing to use this strong man who had three tribes wiped out for assassinating Dong Zhuo in history as long as he had the ability.

To Liu Bian, Guan Yu was a handsome man. The original choice was not only at the right time, but also could increase Guan Yu's experience and qualifications, so why not do it.

Now Guan Yu's achievements are enough for him to go one step further.

……

Just as Liu Bian was meeting Guan Yu, Dong Zhuo finally arrived in Luoyang.

The scene to welcome him was not grand. Only Honglu Cheng Zhong Yao, who had received the news in advance, took several of Honglu's subordinate officials out of the city to greet him outside the West Garden. It was a seamless connection.

This was not the first time Dong Zhuo came to Luoyang, but when he saw that the people in Luoyang were the same as those in Hedong, the smiles on their faces were much more than he had remembered.

With a smile on his face, he asked: "Mr. Zhong, when Jiu Qing took office in the past, would his subordinates also go out of the city to welcome him?"

"It's enough for Mr. Dong to be the official Yuanchang." Zhong Yao declined first, and then explained, "Mr. Dong doesn't know something. His Royal Highness is very concerned about Mr. Dong and has ordered that he will summon Mr. Dong as soon as he comes to Luoyang. So I Just wait here..."

Dong Zhuo's smile did not change: "I see, I am very ashamed to receive His Highness the Crown Prince's concern! It's just that I have traveled a long way and haven't bathed or changed my clothes yet. If I go to see His Highness in a hurry, I'm afraid it will be disrespectful."

"It's okay, His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't care about these false courtesy." After saying that, Zhong Yao stretched out his hand to direct Dong Zhuo's eyes to the carriage, "Dong Gong, please."

After entering the carriage, Dong Zhuo closed his eyes and rested his mind. As he expected, Zhong Yao, the head of his subordinate officials, was obviously someone close to the prince, and Zhong Yao did not shy away from this. Dong Zhuo did not think that he would be tricked into talking about it. , it can only be said that it was intentional.

Soon the car arrived outside the palace. After verifying his identity, Dong Zhuo was quickly able to enter.

After being led into the forbidden Yuntai Hall by Xiaohuangmen, Dong Zhuo immediately recognized who was the prince and hurriedly paid homage to him. After he was level, he noticed carefully that there was a tall, tall man in his thirties sitting next to the prince.

The prince was introducing him: "You probably don't know that this is Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang."

After the two exchanged greetings, the prince got down to the topic. As Dong Zhuo expected, it was Xianbei's private contact with the Southern Huns.
