I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 83 Fellow Langya

Cao Song saw Cao Cao's entanglement, and immediately wanted to show his authority as a father, to cheer up the father and son, and said: "Why should I hesitate? Is it possible that I can't trust my father's vision?"

He also said: "As the legitimate eldest son, the prince has a queen at home and two uncles outside to help him. Although there were rumors in the early years that the prince doted on his youngest son, since the prince entered the palace, the prince's various behaviors have never been the same. It's not meant to be caring.

Although the crown prince was only canonized in March, the prince had not been named as heir apparent but had the actual title of heir apparent for a long time.

You were away from the capital for a long time and joined the army when you came back. It's not surprising that you don't know this. "

Cao Cao had actually heard of what Cao Song said. He asked, "How do you plan to perform your duties after serving as the crown prince?"

"Of course the prince said...ahem, you should put the East Palace first!"

Cao Cao knew full well that asking this question was in vain, but he still felt uneasy in his heart and said: "Father, I want to meet the prince, but I don't know if it is possible."

……

Cao Cao in Luoyang was still struggling with emotion.

Wang Rui of Jingzhou was very happy.

Taiwei Ma Rixi used Zhao Yu as his envoy to visit him in Jiangling, Nanjun County, to discuss immigration matters.

During the conversation, Wang Rui discovered that Zhao Yu, like him, was also from Langya County.

This shows that Ma Rixi attaches great importance to him!

While he was happy, Wang Rui did not forget to ask about the disaster situation in his hometown Linyi County.

Zhao Yu answered one by one.

Linyi is close to the southern part of Langya County, which is considered to be a relatively serious disaster area. However, those destroyed by floods are usually the mud houses of poor people, while most of the high-walled compounds of wealthy families are still standing strong.

Wang Rui's brother Wang Rong is also a famous scholar in Langya, but Zhao Yu has little contact with him, so he doesn't know about Wang Rui.

He also mentioned that Zhuge Xuan, a member of the imperial family, was from Yangdu County and called him to accompany him.

Yangdu is Lin County of Dongguan County where Zhao Yu is located. Although Zhao Yu has no contact with Zhuge Xuan, he has heard of Zhuge's reputation.

When it came to official matters, Wang Rui only said that after the banquet, there were officials such as Deng Xi who also accompanied him.

For a moment, everyone seemed happy except Zhao Yu.

After the banquet, Zhao Yu finally couldn't help it and asked Jing Nan again about the chosen resettlement location.

Wang Rui complained at this time.

It turned out that after Gai Xun left, Zhang Xian took over as the governor of Changsha.

Zhang Xian is a stubborn and rebellious person. He had previously served as county magistrate in Lingling and Guiyang counties and was quite popular among the people.

He looked down upon Wang Rui and thought he could not quell the chaos, but Wang Rui also felt that Zhang Xian was not elegant at all, and the two of them disliked each other.

Cao Yin, the prefect of Wuling, had always had conflicts with Wang Rui, but he could not find the other party's faults and could not remove him from office through impeachment.

The two northern ones among the four counties in Jingnan happened to be at odds with Wang Rui.

Wang Rui sent people to inquire about the preparations for the resettlement site. They were either perfunctory or evasive. He only knew that preparations were indeed being made. As for the preparations, what was the status?

I don't know at all.

Hearing this, Zhao Yu couldn't care less about his fellow countrymen. He felt that Wang Rui was extremely incompetent and said angrily: "When the imperial court first decided on the policy, it only temporarily allocated 50,000 households to resettle in Jingnan, so you can't coordinate. Why don’t you write a letter to clarify it as soon as possible?”

When immigrating to the four counties in Jingnan, it is certainly impossible to divide the population into four equal parts across the board. Changsha County, which is the most developed, will inevitably retain more people, while Wuling and Guiyang, which have poorer geographical environments, will naturally have to retain fewer people. Fifty thousand households, more than 200,000 people, neither too many nor too few. According to post-disaster statistics, even if there is land as a big pie, the 50,000 households willing to move and settle have not yet been collected.

Without the implementation of coercive measures, the effect of immigration is far from as good as Liu Bian imagined. In fact, those who have property but no property would rather become slaves to avoid personal taxes and corvee than leave their hometown to live.

However, considering that even if there were not enough people to migrate, the local barbarians could still be mobilized to organize households and integrate the people, so the decree was not changed.

Seeing a stalemate in the situation, Deng Xi, who was in charge of the administration, quickly tried to smooth things over: "Don't disturb Yuanda. The prefects of these two counties will not dare to disobey the imperial edict. They must have prepared the land."

Zhuge Xuan also said: "If you don't believe me, Xuan Ming will go down the river with you tomorrow. When you get to Changsha, you will know it as soon as you see him."

Zhao Yu then calmed down his anger and remembered the difference between host and guest. Now he was on the other side's territory, but he couldn't let go of his dignity, so he hurriedly handed over his hand and said he would go to Changsha County tomorrow, then said goodbye and went back to the inn.

Only Wang Rui realized that stealing the chicken was losing the rice, and regretted: "I regret not listening to your good advice."

Zhuge Xuan and Deng Xi were very helpless. They had already advised Wang Rui not to take this opportunity to attack Zhang Xian and Cao Yin.

At first Wang Rui accepted their suggestion, but after learning that Zhao Yu was from the same hometown, Wang Rui couldn't hold back his excitement.

result……

"What should I do?"

Zhuge Xuan comforted him and said, "I will accompany Duke Yuan Da to Changsha tomorrow. I will make peace with him on the way so that Duke Yuan Da will not mention today's events to others."

Deng Xi also consoled him and said: "If he can resettle the people affected by the disaster during his inspection of Changsha, he won't argue with the envoy at all."

Wang Rui sighed again: "I didn't expect that I would have to rely on Zhang Xian's loyalty to his duty to save me."

Deng Xi and Zhuge Xuan looked at each other. They had never seen Wang Rui in such a dilemma before, and they were speechless for a moment.

As a fellow Langya fellow, Zhuge Xuan thought that Wang Rui might be concerned about causing chaos.

Deng Xi, who was born in Nanyang, thought that if Wang Rui had behaved like this when he recruited him, whoever liked him would be an official!

……

The next day, Zhao Yu did not say goodbye to Wang Rui, but went directly to Changsha with Zhuge Xuan.

On the way, Zhuge Xuan talked a lot and his mouth went dry. He didn't stop until Zhao Yu looked impatient.

But Zhao Yu never changed his mind.

Zhuge Xuan didn't dare to really shut up Zhao Yu forever, so he could only rack his brains to think of other ways. I have lost a lot of my hair.

After entering Changsha County, the county governor Zhang Xian heard the news and immediately summoned all the county magistrates and magistrates in the north of Changsha County to greet him.

Zhang Ji was also among those summoned. He knew that the immigration matter was urgent and he had no time to study it painstakingly, so he only wrote down some of the most basic things.

After receiving the summons from the county governor, he knew that Zhang Xian was well-liked in Jingnan, so he presented the written book to Zhang Xian in private.

Today, he has not yet achieved his future achievements, and the book was written in a hurry, but he understands the climate change, poisonous insects and herbs in Jingnan, and just bringing these together is already a great achievement.

Zhang Xian is not a mediocre person, so he naturally sees the value of this book.

He had heard about Zhang Ji for a long time and was unwilling to take advantage of this. He returned the book to Zhang Ji and said, "You are from Nanyang with me. Do you think that I will take away the credit of my subordinates? Since this book was written by you, , it should be presented by you, do you think this book can be put to use only by using my name and my fame?"

So he took Zhang Ji to present the book.

　To correct the mistake, Mao Hong was changed to Liang Hu, which does not affect the reading. Now it is really forgotten.
