Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 184 Appointment of talents to deploy the world
"Obey! My lord!" Meng Jian said gratefully.

"Before I went to Chang'an, I didn't expect the area around Chang'an to be so chaotic. The city was fine, but outside the city due to the drought, the food crops were cut off, and hungry people were everywhere. There were often rotting corpses starving to death on the roadside. There was a plague, and in some villages, the entire village was wiped out!"

"Then why did the imperial court ignore these disaster victims? Some people would die of illness and starvation so close to the imperial city?" Feng Yao asked.

"My lord, it's not that the imperial court doesn't care about it, but that the imperial court is unable to manage it. Yizhou Mu Liu Yan's eldest son and second son are both officials in Chang'an City. Not long ago, the eldest son Zuo Zhonglang general Liu Fan and the second son Zhishu Yushi Liu Dan, as well as servant Ma Yu, admonisher Zhong Shao, etc., suddenly colluded with Xiliang Ma Teng and Han Sui to attack Chang'an! Most of the people in the counties and villages near Chang'an City fled and moved their families to Yizhou area."

"Later, Li Sima sent his general Guo Bang to defeat Ma Teng, and then killed Liu Yan's two sons, Liu Fan and Liu Dan."

Feng Yao was greatly surprised by Meng Jian's words, he didn't expect that Ma Teng, who is also from Xiliang, would attack Dong Zhuo's remaining troops!It's no wonder that the court turned a blind eye to the melee in Kanto!It turns out that now Li Jue, Guo Si, etc. can't protect themselves. It is conceivable how much the court does not want to see a unified force in the Kanto. As long as the Kanto is unified, the first thing must be to go to Chang'an to meet the emperor. !
Feng Yao asked: "Gongwei, is Liu Yizhou's son Liu Zhang also in Chang'an?"

"My lord, I should be gone now. Liu Zhang went to Yizhou to convey the emperor's order, and then refused to return to Chang'an. Now he is Liu Yan's only son!" Meng Jian said.

At this time Xu Shu said: "My lord, Li Jue must also want to find a reliable ally in Kanto now! Since this is the case, why don't we take the initiative to send someone to Chang'an to make friends with Li Jue?"

Feng Yao was in a good mood, and said: "It seems that now is a good time for us to take the opportunity to take down Liang Guo!"

"Gongwei, would you like to go to Chang'an again?"

"This subordinate is willing to die for the great cause of the lord! Willing to obey the lord's order and go to Chang'an!" Meng Jian said loudly.

"Okay! Gongwei, pack up and get ready today, and leave for Chang'an immediately tomorrow. If you have any requests, just ask. Well, and since the situation in Chang'an is not good right now, it's best to go by boat this time. Changan, in addition, the accompanying guards should also bring more guards to avoid being attacked by bandits on the road!" Feng Yao immediately issued an order.

"Obey!" Meng Jian took the order.

Feng Yao also ordered Zhao Wang, Chen Ren, Liu Shun, Xie Zhen and Yuan Huan to come.

"Chen Ren obeys the order!"

After everyone arrived, Feng Yao announced the order in public.

Chen Ren is currently the commander of Feng Yao's army, and he is usually responsible for managing the rations in the army and the distribution of food and salaries for the soldiers. After receiving Feng Yao's order, Chen Ren didn't have time to think about it, and immediately knelt down and said loudly: "This subordinate accepts the order! "

"Chen Ren, do you understand the importance of Junyi to us?"

"My subordinates understand! Junyi is the hub of grain and water transportation in the entire Kanto states!" Chen Ren said loudly.

"Okay, since you can understand and prove that you really have some skills, then I will now appoint you as the county magistrate of Junyi County! While doing a good job as the county magistrate, I will also focus on the water conservancy development of Junyi and assist all parties in transporting grain and grass matter!" Feng Yao said.

Chen Ren was stunned. He raised his head and looked at Feng Yao's eyes wide open. After a while, two lines of hot tears flowed down his face, his expression extremely excited.

"What? Are you unhappy?" Feng Yao smiled.

Chen Ren wiped his tears fiercely, and choked up, saying: "No, Chen Ren, I never imagined that one day I could become a county magistrate! Such an important county magistrate! But, my lord, Chen Ren didn't study much since he was a child, I'm afraid he won't be able to be a magistrate. This county magistrate has high expectations of the Lord!"

"Hehe, Chen Ren, I think you can do it, you can do it, don't care if he studies more or less, I just let you be a county magistrate, you can hire more people who study a lot to assist you!" Feng Yao laughed.

"Yeah! This subordinate remembers it!" Chen Ren nodded.

Feng Yao put away his smile, and said solemnly: "Junyi is not under my rule, but I hope you must remember that you must not do anything sorry to me, otherwise don't blame me for not remembering the past!"

Chen Ren shook his body, and immediately fell to the ground and shouted loudly: "My lord, my subordinates must never dare to betray my lord!"

"Okay, you step down first, hand over the matter at hand to Zhao Wang later, and leave immediately to take up the post tomorrow!" Feng Yao said.

"Zhao Wang!" Feng Yao called Zhao Wang again.

Zhao Wang knew that Feng Yao had an order to give, so he hurried forward and knelt down to accept the order.

"Zhao Wang, from now on, you will be the commander of the army and take over all the affairs of Chen Ren. At the same time, you can also recommend two deputy commanders. All these things must be completed within today!"

Zhao Wang withdrew as ordered.

Feng Yao then appointed Xie Zhen as the county magistrate of Fugou County, ordering him to develop the land of Fugou, promote water conservancy, and cultivate fields!Thank you Zhen thank you.

"The three counties of Junyi, Fugou, and Fule are all close to the Langtang Canal, which is an important grain road for me to connect the north and the south. The first thing you should do is to vigorously control the Langtang Canal, clean up the silt in the canal in time, and maintain The smoothness of the waterways”

"The second thing is that we must recruit troops vigorously. While defending the city, we must use soldiers to garrison the fields!"

"The third thing is, we must do everything possible to develop the population vigorously. We must give priority to recruiting soldiers with wives and children. Those without wives must find a way to marry them and let them have children! If there are refugees from outside, we must The first thing to do is to keep him, give him land, build a house, and marry him. It is not allowed for those who are over sixteen years old and still have unmarried wives. If this happens, don’t blame me for accusing you!"

Feng Yao solemnly announced the three most basic requirements.

Chen Ren, Xie Zhen, and Yuan Huan all nodded in agreement.

Yuan Huan finally said to Feng Yao: "Feng Fujun, I heard that the Fujun is promoting water conservancy, building a college, and building a medical center in Pingyu. I have a request, and I hope the Fujun can agree!"

"Yuan Xianjun, please speak directly if you have something to say, if it is reasonable, I will definitely agree to you!" Feng Yao said.

"My second son Yuan Yu, Mr. Feng Fu also saw it with his own eyes. Yuan Yu likes to study, but he is weak and sick, so I beg Mr. Feng to allow my son to go to Pingyu County to study. Treating illnesses at the same time!" Yuan Huan said.

"Mr. Yuan County, this trivial matter is nothing to worry about. I will make a note of it. Later, I will order my subordinates to prepare a house for you. Mr. Yuan's family can move to Pingyu at any time!" Feng Yao said.

Yuan Huan's third son, Yuan Ao, is now serving in Feng Yao's army. He is the Sima of the 100-man Junhou Auxiliary Army to escort grain and grass.

Feng Yao asked Liu Shun about the latest information from various places. Generally speaking, everything is moving in a good direction.

Father Yuan Shu did not withdraw his troops because of Liu Yao, but sent Sun Ce, who had just won the attack on Lujiang County, to Danyang County, and ordered his uncle Danyang prefect Wu Jing to attack Liu Yao in Qu'a, Wu County.
