I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 334 The world is a grassroots team
The wind blows the wheat waves, bringing the fragrance of the harvest.

Liu Bian sat under a tree beside the field road, listening to stories from the Western Regions.

Needless to say, there are many big and small countries in the Western Region. The Xianbei in the west does not have the strength of the Huns. Even if the power of the Han Dynasty completely withdraws from the Western Region, he will not be able to control the Western Region, let alone now.

According to the news brought back by Mi Fang, Dayuezhi and An'an further west have become a mess.

It seems that with this round of global cooling, all countries are in turmoil.

This means that although the Silk Road, which Liu Bian has high hopes for, can still generate revenue, it is impossible to count how much.

Even if shipping is organized, it will not take a few years.

"Based on the situation in front of us, this year is another good harvest year." Liu Bian held an ear of wheat in his hand, took out a few grains and rubbed them off, then put one grain in his mouth. The wheat that has not yet fully matured has a hint of sweetness, and Liu Bian said, "If you want peace in the world, food is a real thing!"

Liu Bian was not very disappointed with the results of the Silk Road, but as long as there was still money to be made, he could continue.

The Han Dynasty's current policy towards the Western Regions is still to maintain the Han Dynasty's presence in name only. But even so, it was enough for many small countries in the Western Regions to take the initiative to send envoys to pay tribute and send "princes" as pledges.

Mi Zhu flattered him at the right moment and said, "Your Majesty has benefited all the people, and that is why you have such a prosperous life now."

But after Mi Zhu flattered him, he saw Liu Bian had no reaction, and couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Zizhong just said that the big clans of Dunhuang oppressed the Hu merchants from the Western Regions and made them afraid to cross Dunhuang?"

Mi Zhu immediately replied respectfully: "That's right. My younger brother Mi Fang is ignorant and collaborated with these big families when he was in Dunhuang. I am guilty of negligence..."

"What does it have to do with you?" Liu Bian took two steps forward and handed the remaining few grains of wheat to his attendant along with the ears. After all, the wheat grains were not that delicious.

Looking at the flat fields in front of him, Liu Bian turned to Xun Yu who accompanied him out and said, "Wen Ruo, please write an official document about this matter and send it to Liangzhou Governor Fu later."

After the explanation, Liu Bian sighed in his heart that the reputation of a top wealthy family is really useful. It is obvious that the Yuan family has no influence at all in Dunhuang, but the wealthy families in Dunhuang are willing to take the initiative to let Li make friends with the Yuan family.

Now that he keeps the Yuan family, will he accidentally be bitten by him one day?

While thinking about it, Liu Bian heard that someone had come to report that Yin Yuan Shu of Henan Province was asking for a meeting.

"Quick announcement."

……

"I saw in the countryside that every family lives and works in peace and contentment. This is all the result of the highway!" Liu Bian praised unabashedly.

"Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. The village officials also have a share of the achievements here." Yuan Shu said such a refusal without knowing his own intention, but he was shouting crazily in his heart - Your Majesty, please praise me more!

Although Liu Bian was not a mind reader, he looked at Yuan Shu's unconcealed joy and continued to praise: "In the past, Duke Yuan An was the Yin of Henan, with a strict government title. After ten years in office, the capital was awe-inspiring and his reputation was high in the court. Following the legacy of Yuan An, Meeting you today feels like seeing Yuan Angong resurrected. I believe that you will be able to achieve greater success in your tenure in Henan!"

Yuan Shu originally came to seek progress this time. His Henan Yin was two thousand stones, and he was of the same rank as Jiuqing, but he was not Jiuqing after all. After hearing Liu Bian's praise, Yuan Shu knew that he would continue to work in Henan Yin's position, but he did not complain at all. As a direct descendant of Yuan An, he knows Yuan An's resume clearly. I know that Yuan An was promoted to Jiuqing after serving as Henan Yin for ten years, and became Sikong in the next three years.

It's only been ten years, and he has been working in Henan Yinren for five years. The future is promising!
Thinking that he could repeat the path of his ancestors, and even become better than his master, it was too late to be happy!

Yuan Shu has even thought that in the future, when he is Yin of Henan for ten years, Jiuqing for three years, and becomes Situ Gong in his third year, he will be able to join his ancestor Yuan An and become as famous as his uncle Situ Gong!

Liu Bian looked at Yuan Shu, who was already full from eating the pie he had painted. He felt that as long as Yuan Shu was established, there would be no need to worry about what great things Yuan could really accomplish.

Yuan Shu is much cuter than Yuan Wei and Yuan Ji.

Thinking of this, Liu Bian emphasized: "Highway, the people of Henan still need you!"

Yuan Shu is in a good mood, but Yuan Shao in Runan is not in such a good mood.

Since he was woken up by Zhang Miao's bad words, although he could not bear the humiliation and broke off relations with Zhang Miao - partly because Zhang Miao had seen him in his most embarrassing state, but later Yuan Shao regained some fighting spirit.

Even though he had no chance to become an official, he had been a knight-errant in his early years, and his reputation in various places had not been damaged. The Han family also had many moral celebrities who regarded fame as dirt, so it was not a dead end.

In recent months, he has had a lot of contact with Xu Shao, who is also a famous scholar in Runan.

The two people originally looked at each other with disgust. Xu Shao felt that Yuan Shao was arrogant and refused to restrain himself, while Yuan Shao felt that Xu Shao had an annoying big mouth. But now, both of their careers are almost cut off due to today's barriers. Under similar circumstances, they feel a bit like brothers in need, hugging each other for warmth.

In fact, the two of them are not completely helpless as officials.

Xu Qiu, the governor of Runan, was an official and a traditional scholar-bureaucrat. He met with these two famous people, and during the conversation he wanted to recommend them.

It's just that both of them have their own troubles and pains. Xu Shao wants face and Yuan Shao wants his life, so they can only refuse Xu Zhuo's kindness.

On this day, Yuan Shao came to visit Xu Shao with a group of scholars who respected his reputation. He led them to talk loudly and quote scriptures.

After the happy gathering, Yuan Shao and Xu Shao had to spend some time alone in private.

There are inevitably some words in the conversation that should not be spoken to outsiders.

It didn't take long for the words to be criticized for today's "harsh government." These words were not without purpose. In the past, the Han Dynasty's supervision system only had the governor supervising two thousand stones, and the postal supervisors of prefectures and counties supervising the counties. Liu Bian's series of measures were to put layers of strings on the officials. To say that the officials had no complaints, That's a lie.

Xu Shao dared to organize a "Yuedan Criticism", and he dared to criticize Chen Fan, who was only inferior to a saint in the eyes of the scholars. He bluntly said that Chen Fan, who was more than a generation older than him, "has a strong character in his actions, but he has little ability if he is strict." ", with a big mouth.

He has always been proud of his courage to comment, but now he said in front of Yuan Shao: "Today, the situation in the states and counties seems to be in full bloom, but the burning fire will not last forever. From what I see, chaos is not far away. ”

Yuan Shao asked curiously: "Did General Zi Fei know something?"
