I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 170 Treatment or No Treatment

Tian Feng's great achievements in Jingzhou are unknown to everyone now.

Especially the powerful people in this state immediately evacuated the retainers and rangers they supported after hearing the news.

Some buildings that were too high were demolished in a hurry.

Liu Dai is a member of the clan. He was originally a servant and was appointed as the governor last year.

He sent Wang Yu, naturally hoping to welcome Tian Feng to the seat of state governance first.

Yanzhou Prefecture is governed in Changyi County, Shanyang County, located on the southeast side of Yanzhou. But Tian Feng came from the west, and of course he did not intend to go straight to Shanyang across the three counties in the west.

"Perhaps Mr. Tian doesn't know that the supervisor of Shanyang County is an old friend of Mr. Tian. He is a trustworthy person and often praises Mr. Tian's character. Now he and Mr. Liu are waiting to meet Mr. Tian!"

Tian Feng actually knew who Wang Yu was talking about. How could he not first get to know the officials appointed by the imperial court when he came to Yanzhou?

The supervisor of Shanyang County was Zhuge Xuan, who was originally acting as the governor of Jingzhou.

Tian Feng was deeply impressed by Zhuge Xuan and took the lead in controlling the Huarongbei clan before he returned alive. Later, Zhuge Xuan contributed a lot to the investigation of the sect's thieves, and he was considered an acquaintance.

There are merits and demerits. Although Zhuge Xuan did not really become the governor of Jingzhou, he was still promoted.

Tian Feng said: "Old friends have their own time to see each other again. I would like to ask Wang Biejia to tell Liu Envoy that when he arrives in Changyi the next day, he will pay him a visit."

Old friends are not enough to change his will.

After saying that, he looked at the group of people from the school. Although they were traveling together, they were not his subordinates.

The leader, Li Kai, is said to have been a low-level official in Luoyang County for more than 20 years and was not allowed to be promoted. He was sent out within a few days of joining the school affairs department. In a few days, he jumped from a food official with less than 100 shi to a military commander with more than 600 shi.

From what Tian Feng heard, this situation is not an isolated case.

Wang Yu also knew that these people were originally Guan Yu's subordinates. When he saw Tian Feng's performance, he quickly reacted and invited him at the right time: "Do you want to clean up the officials in each county? I thought you could go to Shanyang." After meeting with the envoy, the envoy will send the provincial governors to accompany him, so that we can get twice the result with half the effort."

Li Kai was very alert and cupped his hands and said: "Before departure, the captain once ordered that we should put Tian Gong's actions first."

Wang Yu was sad but not surprised. He is a pragmatic person. As a special agent, he is in Changyi County with Zhuge Xuan, who is also the governor of the state. The two parties have many exchanges.

Before coming, he had heard about Tian Feng's upright character from Zhuge Xuan and was well prepared.

"Since the princes have to inspect the prefectures, how can I stay out of it as the governor? Please allow me to accompany you. I am very familiar with all parts of the state and would like to be a guide."

Tian Feng did not refuse.

In this way, the two parties formed a group and went to Chenliu County, the county seat.

Because the emperor's younger brother was named King Chenliu, although he had not yet returned to the country, Chenliu County had become Chenliu Kingdom, and the prefect became the prime minister of the country.

Chen Liuyingshao once served as a government official in He Miao when he was a general of chariots and cavalry, and later served as a county magistrate. Due to his meritorious service in governance, he was promoted to two thousand shi.

Tian Feng did not always take the main roads or straight roads. Sometimes he would send people along the small roads to the countryside to inquire, and occasionally he would go there himself.

The same goes for school affairs.

They got a positive answer as to whether the emperor's edict exempting him from oral tax for three years, which they were most concerned about, was really known to the people.

All the people they asked didn't know.

Wang Yu followed Tian Feng all the time, introducing him to the customs and customs of various places, and became more and more confident along the way.

In this way, for several days, Tian Feng suddenly changed his direction and went to Dongjun in the north when he was about to reach Chenliu County.

Tian Feng's journey was very slow, and Chen Liuxiang should have known about Tian Feng's arrival. When Wang Yu heard Tian Feng's decision, his first thought was that Tian Feng was blaming Ying Shao for not coming to greet him in person, and was dissatisfied.

He went to Tian Feng to defend Ying Shao and said: "Ying Zhongyuan's family has a lot of insights into the law. He heard that the emperor wanted to re-reform the law, so he wanted to summarize his family's knowledge and write to the emperor."

"Don't worry, Mr. Tian, ​​Ying Zhongyuan is a man of great righteousness in his heart, and he will never delay his business because of this."

Seeing Wang Yu's anxiety, Tian Feng explained: "I didn't blame him. Along the way, when I saw the people's situation, I knew there was no need to go any further."

Wang Yu then bowed to Tian Feng and felt relieved: "It's just a low-ranking official who judged a gentleman with a villain's heart. I hope you can forgive me."

"No problem!" Tian Feng certainly wouldn't care about this.

On the way to Dongjun, Wang Yu suddenly realized that there were a few people missing from the school affairs department.

Especially the young man Tian Feng was paying close attention to also disappeared, looking very capable.

He wisely kept it in mind and didn't ask any more questions.

It was only when passing by the next county that he passed the news to Liu Dai.

During this period, he did not forget to use Zhuge Xuan to get close to Tian Feng.

"Zhuge Jun is really a virtuous man. His elder brother Zhuge Gui was originally a county magistrate in Taishan County, but unfortunately he died of illness last year. Zhuge Jun took all his brother's young children to his side and raised them."

"His brother's eldest son supports his mother at home. It is said that he is also a talented person, but if you ask me, the smartest one is undoubtedly the second son Zhuge Liang."

"Zhuge Liang is less than ten years old, but he knows the classics. I heard that there is Sima Lang in Hanoi County, who was a boy at the age of twelve. I have never seen him, but I think Zhuge Liang can pass it."

The topic of child prodigy piqued Tian Feng's interest: "I must meet him when I go to Shanyang County in the future."

After arriving in Dongjun, Wang Yu found that there were a few more people missing from the school affairs department without realizing it.

He also has the same story as before.

After talking to Tian Feng for too long, Wang Yu changed the topic again: "In Dongjun, Chen Gongtai is regarded as a virtuous person, but I know that there is one person who is not inferior to him, and that's Cheng Zhongde! I heard that he was recommended to the capital, but I don't know what he is doing now. How's it going……"

"What? Cheng Zhongde actually became Mr. Tian's colleague?"

"That's great! Emperor Tian lives up to his talents. If it wasn't official business, I would really like to drink a lot of it."

Shortly thereafter, Wang Yu discovered that the first few school officials who left had returned.

During Tian Feng's inspection, he found that Yanzhou finally belonged to the Central Plains, and the situation was much better than that of Jingzhou.

Although he didn't dare to relax, he was also relieved. At least you don't have to worry about the safety of your entourage.

But Yanzhou was not all good. The number of tenants and servants of powerful families shocked him.

The governance of Chenliu Yingshao was not bad, and the laws were strict but not strict, but they could not solve these problems.

But at least, the court does not need to worry too much about the landless people from Chenliu County going to Sanfu to farm.

In Dongjun, what Tian Feng saw was not as good as Chen Liuguo.

The common people living beside the main road know about the exemption from oral tax, but in remote corners, places where village officials are unwilling to go unless they collect taxes, the people not only don't know about the exemption from oral tax, but they also have to pay the tax. The gift is still double 40 yuan.
