Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 2947: A gentleman will not die, and a king and grandson will not return

   Untouchables.

   Troublesome people.

   Mob.

  The mob around Xu County rioted? !

   Anyway, when the rulers of the ancient feudal dynasties addressed the people, they didn't use any good words. Even occasionally when they are free and have nothing to do, they will claim to represent what the elders in their hometown are asking for, but they often use the name of the elders in their hometown to gain benefits for themselves, and when they turn their heads to face the people and start playing official power, they will immediately forget what they said before and swear.

  Because the rulers of these feudal dynasties are also very clear in their hearts, they really cannot and will not represent the people.

  The interest statement is completely different, and it is not the same way at all.

   After Cao Cao led the army to leave Xu County, was the biggest military officer around Xu County the city gate order of Xu County, or the captain of Xu County? In fact, it is not. When Cao Cao was not in Xu County, Ren Jun was the highest military officer around Xu County, although he was just a small farmer general on the surface.

  Because the autumn harvest is over and there are no important matters in the surrounding fields, Ren Jun is naturally in Xu County. After hearing the news that there were mobs rioting outside the city, they immediately rushed to the city wall of Xu County.

  Although Ren Jun is said to be a Zhonglang general, he is more inclined to be a civil servant. Perhaps it happened suddenly, but Ren Jun seemed to be standing behind the battlements wearing only a loose robe, frowning as he watched the flames burning in the distance.

"What happened? Ren Jun frowned and asked, "Who is making a fuss over there?" 』

  Since General Hussars invaded Xu County, basically there has been no major battle in Xu County. It's not that there are no riots among the people, but it's the first time that they don't make troubles in the city, but outside the city.

  Before Ren Jun climbed the city wall, he ordered his confidants to gallop through the gates of Xu County. Without his order, no one was allowed to open the city gates.

  As long as there is no chaos in the city and the life of the emperor and officials can be guaranteed, then it is not a big problem. As for the outside of the city...

  I love it.

   But you still have to ask.

  It’s like the newly appointed officials of the feudal dynasty. According to the emperor’s request, they always go to the countryside to inspect when they take office. They will call the three elders and ask if there are any problems in life and production.

  So many officials before have not solved it, and the new officials can immediately solve these old sesame seeds and rotten millet?

   If it is not resolved, the target of the joke will be the unreasonable old man; if it is resolved, the target of the joke will be the newly appointed official.

   Therefore, asking but not deciding is basically a good game of feudal officials.

   Not to ask is to not care about the suffering of the people. No one can wear this hat if it is buckled. If you ask but can’t solve it, then it’s not a problem of attitude, but the specific situation is too complicated and it takes time to deal with it. As for timeliness, it’s better to delay it for ten, twenty, thirty years.

   "Report to General Zhonglang, it is said that it is... yes..." The city gate order beside him looked a little embarrassed.

  Ren Jun glanced at the city gate order, "Say what you want!" 』

  『Only! ”The city gate order seemed to be reckless, but the voice still dropped after half of the sentence, “I heard that it was that C...that young man went outside the city... and snatched a little lady outside the city. It happened that the husband of the little lady was the little labor leader who repaired the canal..."

  Because of the problem of building materials in the Han Dynasty, most of the canals are made of earth and stone structures. After a year of use, there are often places where stones and slabs fall off or silt accumulates. Anyway, after the autumn harvest, some labor will be organized for repairs, and this canal is also related to the irrigation of labor itself, so most of the time there is no problem.

"Hi! It's outrageous! Ren Jun patted the battlements, looking very angry, "Why can't we wait a few more days? This color embryo! 』

   In a few days, these laborers will finish their work and go back to their homes.

  The queue of labor is dispersed...

  As for the matter of robbing women, isn’t it considered robbing if you give some money?

   It doesn’t matter whether you give beforehand or afterward.

  What a big deal.

   The money is enough, uh, is it in place? These days, is there anything that money can't solve?

  If money can’t solve it, then it’s a big problem.

  Ren Jun had no doubts at all whether it was the sons of the Cao family or the Xiahou family who did it. After all, not only the second generation, but the older ones and even the third generation have begun to grow hair. It is the age to look for excitement...

   Even though Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun cleaned up the children of the clan near Qiao County before, that was in Qiao County, not Xu County. It's like Hokkaido has arrested some black organizations, and then a certain group in Tokyo will think that the sky is about to fall?

  The gatekeeper glanced at Ren Jun, then at the fire outside the city, and remained silent.

   In fact, Ren Jun still has some headaches. It would be fine if it was a normal day. Now that there is a lot of trouble around Xu County, seeing a storm is coming, it happened at this time that such a thing happened...

  『Come on! Ren Jun said in a deep voice, "If the order continues, not only is there a curfew tonight, but the four doors will continue to be closed during the day tomorrow!" No one is allowed to open the door without authorization! If there are thieves trying to seize the door, they will be killed without mercy! 』

   Just guard the city gates. Could it be that these mobs can still turn the world upside down?

   Tired of tossing, naturally retreated, and it would not be too late to arrest those leaders. The more anxious you are, the easier it is to mess up.

  Anyway, the officials in the city have knives in their hands, money in their waists, and food in their pockets. Those mobs have no swords, guns, money, or food. What do they use to fight the officials? Do you use Tianling cover?

   It doesn't cost a single soldier to kill these mobs with energy consumption!

   Ren Jun sneered.

  …щ(`ωщ)…

  Huang Wan's mansion.

   It is said to be a mansion, but it is actually not too big. Because on this street, I don't know how many are bigger and more prosperous than his house.

  In the courtyard, it was deserted. There should have been some servants, but now it was just a few people. In the courtyard rooms, there is not even any lights, only some faint metallic brilliance flickers in the corridors and stone slabs.

  Huang Wan stood in the courtyard, with her hands behind her back and her back hunched.

   His back was originally straight, at least when he was young, but now he is bent and hunched. It seemed as if a growing burden had been placed on his shoulders, not only robbing him of his youth, but imposing a growing burden upon him.

  Grandpa Huang Wan was a Sangong in his generation, and he is also a Sangong now, but the Sangong at that time and the Sangong now are two completely different value systems, just like the same one hundred yuan.

  He ascended to the court again with an old body, why didn't he want to burn his last residual candle to light a path, and he found out that even if he tried hard to burn, what was the use?

   Is the road he illuminated really the best direction for the big man?

  Even at the moment, even if he wants to burn himself to light up, no one else is willing to think he is meddling in his own business!

  Huang Wan sighed.

  He looked around again.

  This is Xu County, perhaps if the emperor hadn't been here, he would never have come here in his life.

  So is it because the Son of Heaven has benefited Xu County, or is it because Xu County has supported the Son of Heaven?

   Xu County is not a very good place for the capital.

   There are really no dangerous places around Xuchang, and Funiu Mountain is not enough to serve as a barrier for Xuchang. The reason why Cao Cao chose Xuchang back then was because there were relatively more acres of land around Xuchang, which could be used to support officials.

  The most important thing is to be close to Heluo. If you walk too far, one is afraid of getting into the mouths of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, or Tao Qian.

  But with the stay of the imperial court, the number of officials began to increase, and the population around Xu County increased, and the resulting population pressure gradually forced Xu County to require more farmland, more handicrafts, and more low-level people to serve the government.

  If there were no untouchables in the mouths of these officials and nobles, how would the children of officials and nobles who don’t even know how to get a dung bucket live?

  The population has increased, but the officials may not be willing to work more, so it is obvious that the officials who originally managed 100 people now have to manage 500 people. Can the number of affairs be the same? However, will the officials of Xu County increase and speed up the processing of affairs because of this? Don't even think about it.

  Then is it possible to solve this problem by increasing the number of officials?

hehe.

   Counseling Song has something to say.

   In the past, no one cared about and no one did things, no matter how many officials were added, they were still no one cared about and no one did it. Few people who can become officials are fools, and they all know that no one cares about the previous affairs, which are either useless or troublesome, so will the new officials be willing to do things that are not beneficial or troublesome?

   Some fools still think that Shandong is good, because Shandong doesn’t have so many things in Guanzhong. They just praise Cao Cao’s good governance, and then laugh at Guanzhong Sanfu. Either there is something here or there is something there, look at my Dashandong, how nice and peaceful, what is there! This is what makes officials capable, and the world is peaceful and prosperous!

  In fact, is Shandong really peaceful?

  All things are covered up in the countryside, intercepted within the clan, and hidden in the files piled up under the official desk case.

   If you don't do anything, you will be fine.

   If you don't solve the trouble, of course there will be no trouble.

  Xu County is peaceful on the surface.

   And now Huang Wan is going to break this false peace!

  Huang Wan wanted to tear off this rotten fig leaf at the moment, so that the sour thing could be revealed!

  He is willing to use his mansion, his own money, and his own life to uncover this false fig leaf and fulfill the emperor's expectations for him!

  As long as the people in the city are successfully agitated, and then the lost money is discovered, looted and set off a fire, and then spread to more official residences, isn't it a normal development process?

   At that time, look at these officials who say that under Cao Cao's governance, the world is peaceful, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and Xu County is safe and peaceful, what can they say!

   Just as Huang Wan was clenching her fists and her body was trembling slightly, a voice sounded.

  『Patriarch, Mr. Jiang is here...do you want to let him in? 』

  Huang Wan was stunned for a moment, and pondered for a long time, "Since you're here...please. 』

  The sound of footsteps is small and close.

  『Your Majesty, this method is inappropriate...Even if this rabble can get close to the city, it will be difficult for them to accomplish anything.』 In the shadow of the courtyard, a person whispered, "Now Tuntian Zhonglang will order the four gates to be closed, only relying on these unarmed people..."

  Huang Wan was taken aback, and after a while, he forced a smile and said, "Why hasn't the master left yet?" 』

  Officials who don’t do things can generally earn a living, while officials who do things often offend people. The more important things they do, the more people they offend, and they may not even have food in the end.

  Huang Wan wanted to do such a thing, of course he had to be prepared not to eat. He silently dismissed several Qing guests in the family, just saying that he was old and was going to resign as Cao Cao, so he could no longer support them and let them go.

  Menke, or Qingke, are actually almost the same. They prospered during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and then declined during the Han and Tang Dynasties.

  Of course, this decline means that the law does not recognize the relationship between diners and masters, nor does it allow large-scale raising of diners, but since ancient times in China, the law is the law, and the people are the people. Just like private lending, excessive interest is obviously not recognized by the law, but has the private usury disappeared? In the same way, even in later generations, "menke" still exists, just like a senior consultant raised by the boss of the company, it may be equivalent to "talker" among the doorkeepers, and there are similar "talkers", "assassins", "authors" and so on...

  Huang Wan is not a general, so it is impossible to have any trilogy, but there are still some private servants and retainers, and these servants and retainers can also be used at critical times.

   Like the present moment.

  In fact, there are Huang Wan’s servants, or confidantes, outside the city and inside the city, and the retainers do not guarantee much loyalty, so Huang Wan did not let these retainers participate too much, but politely sent them away, but to Huang Wan’s surprise, this retainer did not just leave, but came back again...

  The person in the shadow took a step forward and revealed his face.

  This man is a little thin, with three strands of beard, neither long nor short, and a shrewd look in his eyes, "Your Majesty, although you are not talented, you know loyalty!" Now your lord wants to implement the policy of knocking on the door, to relieve the grievances of the people, and I am deeply admired...but in this way, your lord seems to be taking a little light on himself...』

  『Since Mr. Jiang is aware of this,』 Huang Wan laughed, "Why don't you use the old man's head to seek a future? 』

  Jiang Gan had an upright look on his face, "Your Majesty, why do you have to make such a joke?" Although Gan is dull, he knows loyalty and righteousness. Today, treacherous ministers are in power. The emperor wants to control the world, but he is blocked by treacherous ministers. If the king does this, it is the right way to give the emperor the power and return the power to your majesty. It's just that it's too dangerous...Could it be...Jun Shang must not do this! Your Majesty... What's more, in the current situation, you should cherish your useful body, how can you lightly talk about life and death? 』

  Huang Wan smiled a little more, "If so, what do you think of the old man's strategy?" 』

  Jiang Gan looked back, on the corridors and the roads in the courtyard, some items were scattered scattered, and some coins were even thrown directly into the leader, "If something is not bad...the emperor in this city should also have some people, either complaining about grievances, or clamoring, and then...these goods are like oil on the fire..."

  『If there is a chaos in the city, the emperor will naturally punish the city guard officials in Xu County... 』Jiang Gan said, "Even if you don’t get killed outside the Meridian Gate, you can still take the opportunity to win the post of city guard... Prime Minister Cao resigns, the emperor will definitely say no, and according to the etiquette, he needs to thank in court... Therefore, if the emperor can take this opportunity to rectify the palace ban and coordinate soldiers...it is no big deal! But Dong Zhongying's old story too! 』

  l Cao Cao is not in the city, and it is too late to rush back like last time. As long as there is a chaos, the emperor can have extremely correct reasons to punish the officials around Xu County. Unfortunately, most of the officials in charge of the surrounding Xu County are members of the Cao family.

   Unless the officials of the Cao family want to turn against Liu Xie...

   But even if they want to turn their backs, Cao Cao will not be there anymore, so most of these people will not dance too fiercely.

  But really waiting for Cao Cao to come back...

  Cao Cao’s resignation was originally intended to be a retreat, but at that time, it really became impossible to retreat...

  During the three to four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, there were not many powerful generals, but even fewer of them died well. Even if they survived to the end, their descendants would often be liquidated. Not to mention the recent generals He Jin and Taishi Dong Zhuo, they even performed that no matter whether they have the forbidden army or the frontier army, death is death, and they are not ambiguous at all.

  Then what's so strange about adding a prime minister of the Han Dynasty?

  Huang Wan laughed loudly, and then said to Jiang Gan, "Zi Yi, a great talent, why do you need to accompany the old man on this road to Jiuquan?" Mr. is so loyal to the Han Dynasty, the emperor will definitely reuse it in the future! Go fast, go fast! 』

  Jiang Gan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there is a policy that can ensure loyalty and avoid death in vain... I know that my Majesty is unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness, but Shandong is not the only obstacle in the world!" Your Majesty lost his life here, not to mention what will happen next, if this place in Chang'an imitates what Liang Ji did, so what? At that time, Junshang is already in Jiuquan, even if he wants to, he will be powerless! 』

  『This…』Huang Wan couldn't answer for a moment.

  If you are less responsible, you will say that you can’t finish things. This old man is already old, how many days can’t he enjoy it? These troubles are left to the next generation to consider and do. Anyway, one generation can only do the things of one generation. But the problem is that if Huang Wan had no sense of responsibility, he would not have followed Wang Yun to engage Dong Zhuo before, and now he would not give up his life to fight this time...

  『Your Majesty, it’s better to follow the golden cicada’s policy... 』Jiang Gan said in a low voice. If the emperor needs it in the future, the king can respond to it himself! Death here is nothing more than a moment of loyalty. If the emperor can enter Chang'an and gather loyal people from the three assistants, he can do his best, and it will be a contribution to the community! 』

  『This…』 Huang Wan hesitated.

  『Your Majesty, if Wu Zixu hadn’t escaped at night, how could we get rid of Chu’s harm? How can it be corrected? Jiang Gan said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, don't lose the big because of small things!" 』

  『Wu Zixu...』 Huang Wan looked at the old tree in the courtyard.

  At this time, a fire suddenly lit up in the city, and immediately someone shouted loudly to run away, and it was extremely noisy for a while!

  『Your Majesty! Time is ticking! Jiang Gan urged, "I've already found a substitute!" As soon as your majesty left, he searched for an opportunity to set fire, and the corpses were all charred, no one could find out! Your Majesty, please make a quick decision! 』

  Huang Wan looked at the dancing flames in the distance, and sighed for a long time, "Forget it! Today, I will imitate the sages and go to Shaoguan at night! 』
