Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 592 Something Wrong
One and a half years later, "Master, the road from Hanning County to Yecheng has been repaired, please send someone to check it!"

Ma Jun came to the Liao Palace in Xiangping and reported to Liu Wei.

"Well! Alright, tomorrow the king will lead an army of [-] to Hanning County first, and walk along this road from north to south to see how the road you built!"

Liu Wei was overjoyed in his heart, and said in his heart: "This road has been repaired. The army can reach Yecheng in half a month from Hanning County. It will be very convenient to transport the army supplies. Once the battle starts on the front line, the Liaozhou army can use it as soon as possible. Arrive quickly."

Two days later, Liu Wei gathered all the civil and military officials in Liaozhou, and an army of [-], marched towards Hanning County in great numbers.

Liu Wei didn't ride a horse this time, but sat on the eight white horse-drawn horses that Yang Jindao and the others carefully prepared for themselves. The car was spacious, and the size of the car was comparable to the current two extended Lincolns. The interior is about the same size, Liu Wei, Cai Yan and a group of concubines are sitting together in their king's car, very happy.

"Husband, the road is really flat. You can see that the frame is not even a bit bumpy!"

Zhen Mi smiled at Liu Wei.

"Hahahaha, don't you even look at who ordered the road to be built. The road built by the king's order is not fair!"

Liu Wei boasted.

"As long as you have a thick skin, Master Ma Jun led people to build the road. What does it have to do with you? Besides, you didn't build the road for war!"

Cai Wenji said to Liu Wei in vain.

"Isn't that the king's money? Besides, the road construction is not only for war. With this road, if there is a natural disaster in Hanning County, I can quickly transport grain from Jizhou. On the contrary, Jizhou is short of grain. I can also transport grain from Hanning County to Jizhou, which is a good thing for the country and the people, how can you misinterpret my meaning! As if I can’t live without a war!”

Liu Wei said.

At this moment, Liu Wei heard the neighing of someone in front of the team, frowned, and asked outside the car: "What happened in front?"

Huben Wei who was driving said, "My lord, the road ahead seems to be blocked by people!"

"What? Blocked? Can such a wide road be blocked?"

As Liu Wei said, he lifted the curtain blocking the front of the carriage, asked people to put down the bench, and stepped off the carriage.

Liu Wei walked to the front of the team and took a look, good guy, the road was blocked for dozens of miles, the road was full of people and horses, there were caravans, there were people who wanted to enter the city, pulling carts and carrying firewood, the bustling city It's almost time for the vegetable market.

Liu Wei frowned even tighter, and asked, "What's the situation? What's going on, such a wide road is blocked by such a virtue!"

To be honest, Liu Wei was very puzzled, this is a big road, because it does not pass through any county town, that is to say, there are several forks in the road, and there is no intersection at all, so it turned out to be blocked like this.

"The last general doesn't know, he has already sent people to investigate!"

Yang Jindao bowed to Liu Wei and replied.

"Report!"

While the two were talking, a Huben Guard came to Liu Wei and the two, and said, "Report to the lord, General Yang, I have made a thorough investigation, someone in front will collect the toll again!"

"what?"

Yang Jindao was fine, but Liu Wei's jaw almost dropped in surprise, and then he said, "What do you think someone is doing in front?"

This Huben Guard soldier trembled a little when Liu Wei yelled at him. He thought he had offended Liu Wei, but he still bit the bullet and said, "My lord, there are people in front who are charging tolls again!"

"Tolls? What kind of tax is this!"

Liu Wei said in surprise.

Seeing that Liu Wei was puzzled, Yang Jindao said, "My lord, this may be an order from some adult to collect some money for road construction! At the end of the day, he will send someone to let them open the checkpoint and let the people go." Already! Today, these people are considered to be lucky, and have received the gift of the prince!"

As he said that, Yang Jindao was about to send someone to notify the toll collector to open the switch.

But can Liu Wei agree, stopped Yang Jindao, and then said: "This king built this road to benefit the people and make it easier for the army to travel from Hanning County to Yecheng. The road tax will increase the burden on the people." , and once the war starts in Yecheng, the king will dispatch troops from Hanning County to reinforce it, and in this situation, when the soldiers and horses arrive in Yecheng, I am afraid that Yecheng will already be beaten down!"

When Liu Wei said this, he became more and more angry, and at the end, Liu Wei shouted: "Go, call me everyone, I want to ask, which one is so bold and dares to fight?" Order someone to collect tolls!"

After Liu Wei finished speaking, he ordered someone to remove the stool, sat aside, and waited for the officials from Liaozhou to arrive. After a while, all the officials from Liaozhou came to Liu Wei. Of course, all the officials who came were civil servants. , There is nothing about generals.

Seeing Liu Wei's unkind expression, these people stood there obediently.

Liu Wei glanced at the crowd for a week, and then said to Zi Juhu: "Juhu, you are the prefect of Hanning County, please explain to this king what is going on at the checkpoint ahead and what is going on with the road tax!"

Juhu was also puzzled by Monk Zhang Er, not knowing what was going on, so he stared blankly at Liu Wei, speechless for a long time.

But his father Jushou, an old man with a lot of gray beard, pushed Juhu and said: "The prince is asking you something, but what are you talking about!"

Only then did Juhu kneel down to Liu Wei, and then he said: "My lord, I don't know what's going on with this subordinate, but I dare to guarantee with my own head that I will never let anyone Collect road tax!"

Originally, Liu Wei saw that Juhu didn't speak, and thought he did it, but as soon as Juhu explained, Liu Wei knew that there was something wrong with this matter. As the saying goes, like a father, like a son, Jushou, Juhu Both of them are upright people and never lie, so Liu Wei waved to Juhu, and then said: "Although you don't know about this, but you are not strict in governing, this king punishes you with a year's salary, and you Do you have any objections?"

"Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord, I have no objection!"

Juhu kowtowed to Liu Wei one after another.

"You wait for me for a while, I want to see who dares to set up a name and collect taxes privately without my order!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Wei returned to the carriage, changed his clothes, and planned to go to the front to check it out before making plans.

After a while, Liu Wei took off his python robe and put on plain clothes, but the majestic air was still there as before.

"You all go and change my clothes, go and see what's going on with me!"

After Liu Wei finished speaking, these civil servants also went back to change their clothes.
