I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 166

On that day, Liu Bian ordered Yu Shitai to send the imperial censor and others to inspect the prefectures and counties. The school affairs department also sent personnel to accompany them.

They had many tasks, including investigating official administration, especially the exemption of oral taxes in the countryside, and announcing to those counties close to Sanfu the imperial edict calling on landless people to go to Sanfu to participate in farming.

But Sanfu is still a bit far away from Jizhou, Yanzhou and Yuzhou, the most densely populated areas in the north, and the journey is still a hassle.

Liu Bian's edict of amnesty spread quickly in January, and during the peak theft period in March, the prisoners arrested by the government and the people who could not pay taxes obviously could not catch up with the amnesty. They would become A member of Guanzhong Tuntian.

Taking into account the execution capabilities of each county...

Liu Bian will also send additional officials to help.

The Tai students who went to the countryside had been there for less than a year, and Liu Bian ultimately did not choose to use them and let them stay in the countryside longer.

These people who responded to his call serve as seeds to eliminate the waste and seek the best. And time is the easiest to do this.

Cheng Yu, the imperial censor, will also become one of the personnel to supervise the implementation of this policy after meeting Liu Bian.

In the past two years, with the reduction of war, the revenue of the treasury has been growing, but expenditures have also increased. The rewards originally owed to the Southern Xiongnu and Wuhuan had not yet been restored, and new items were added.

That is to say, Yuan Pang, the great minister, worked conscientiously and never complained.

In Yuntai Hall, Yuan Pang was answering.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. From March to the time of Sanfu's grain harvest, the treasury can provide for the expenses incurred by the prisoners during this period. But I don't know how many landless people are willing to come to Sanfu."

Based on past experience, if you go voluntarily, the number will be limited.

But Liu Bian did not dare to guarantee it: "First, take the people from Jingnan who voluntarily went to the Seven Commanderies during the flood as an example. Based on the proportion of these people in the population of the Seven Commanderies, the excess will be taken from the Shaofu." Provide money and food for support.”

Yuan Pang bowed: "Wei!"

Seeing this, Liu Bian suddenly said: "Now that the gift money of Xiyuan has been abolished, should the money and food spent by the eight captains of Xiyuan also come from the national treasury?"

Yuan Pang bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the national treasury is still empty, and Xiyuan still has money and income. If we want to provide money and food to the eight captains of Xiyuan, we must confiscate all the proceeds into the treasury and not into Xiyuan."

Yuan Pang firmly stated that the money must be paid by Xiyuan. When Bao Hong's family property was confiscated, Liu Bian returned all his property to Xiyuan on the grounds that the Xiyuan Army's money and food came from. Emperor Bo Xian smiled and the matter was finally returned as a boomerang.

Liu Bian originally only wanted to test it out. After all, it was more convenient for him to use Shaofu and Xiyuan money to do things. After hearing this, he simply didn't mention it.

On issues such as farming, Yuan Pang's support was in place.

Liu Bian felt that he was an excellent candidate for Sikong and a pragmatic person.

But not all those recommended by all parties are pragmatic talents like Cheng Yuxunyou.

Obviously Liu Bian pointed out the specific things, but some people still read what the saint said. Some people even thought that letting the people living and working in peace and contentment from all over the country go to Sanfu to farm is an act of laboring for the people, and used this to persuade Liu Bian.

When Liu Bian saw this memorial, he immediately wanted that person to go back wherever he came from!

It was Lu Zhi who persuaded Liu Bian.

"Your Majesty, if you open the way for speech, you will inevitably hear offensive words. If you punish someone with this, it will only block the way for speech. Officials will only say what Your Majesty wants to hear."

Liu Bian suddenly realized, isn't this an information cocoon room?

Then he thought about it, even if he was a rebel, he wouldn't be able to listen to what he said. Otherwise, how would he know what he did right?

Just don't be brainwashed by the rebels.

Then he continued to read the memorial.

Those who have something to say are put aside, and all are empty words and ignored. Especially those who are interested in Liu Bian can be summoned directly.

So, while dealing with government affairs, Liu Bian spent two full days and stayed up all night to read these memorials.

The next morning, when Liu Bian went to the West Palace to visit the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager He, Empress Dowager He saw the dark circles under Liu Bian's eyes at the first sight and felt extremely distressed.

She took Liu Bian's hand: "Now my mother is in the West Palace and can't take care of you every day. Wan'er and Zhaoji still live in the Middle Palace. They are very filial and considerate and come to accompany me every day... Now you My father has been buried, it’s time to give them a title.”

Liu Bian nodded, of course it was okay to give him a title.

He is now fifteen years old and is actually fertile, but he still wants to recuperate for two more years!

And exactly two years later, the three-year filial piety period of Zhengerbajing also passed.
