Mob riots around Xu County? !
Anyway, when the rulers of the ancient feudal dynasties addressed the people, they didn't use any good words.Even occasionally when they 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 benefit themselves, and they turn their heads to face the people and start playing officials When they are in power, they will immediately forget what they said before, the oath they swear, the whole face trembles, and the stomach twitches, indicating that they represent the imperial court and the government, but they will not mention what they said before that they represent the people .

Because the rulers of these feudal dynasties are also very clear in their hearts that 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 commander 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, there is nothing important to do in the surrounding fields, so 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 there is no problem. As for the outside of the city...

I love it.

Still, it's worth asking.

Just like the newly appointed officials of the feudal dynasty, according to the requirements of the emperor, they always go to the countryside to inspect when they take office. What's the problem, just nodded and listened with a smile. At most, I said something and went back to solve it, but after I went back, it became a fart to solve.

So many previous officials failed to solve 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 only be the cynical 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.

If you don't ask, you don't care about the suffering of the people. No one can wear this hat.I asked but couldn’t solve it. It’s not an attitude problem, but the specific situation is too complicated and needs time to deal with it. As for timeliness, it’s better to delay it for 20, 30 or [-] years. Gone?

"Report to General Zhonglang, it is said that it is... yes..." The city gate order on the side 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 lowered after half of the sentence, ‘I heard that it was that C...that young man went outside the city...he snatched a little lady outside the city, and it happened that the little lady’s Husband is the small leader of the canal repair...』

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 is accumulated. Anyway, after the autumn harvest, some labor will be organized. Repair, 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.

As soon as 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 it is given beforehand or afterwards.

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 before Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun cleaned up the children of the clan near Qiao County, but 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 flames outside the city, and remained silent.

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

"Come here! 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! 』

Keeping the city gates is enough. Could it be that these mobs can still turn the world upside down?
Tired of tossing around, 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, and money or food. What do they use to fight the officials?Do you use Tianling cover?
It doesn't take a single soldier to kill these mobs!

Ren Jun sneered.

 … щ(｀ωщ)  …

In Huang Wan's residence.

It is said that it is a mansion, but it is 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, in the early years, he could support four grandfathers It's not shabby, but now it's a red light to raise one.

He boarded 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's the use?
Is the road he illuminated really the best direction for Dahan?
Even at the moment, even if he wants to burn himself to light up, others don't want to, they think he is meddling!
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 emperor has benefited Xu County, or is it because Xu County has carried the emperor?

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

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 for support. Hundreds of officials only.

The most important thing is that it is close to Heluo. If you walk too far, one is afraid of going to the mouth of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, or Tao Qian. ...

However, as the imperial court stayed, 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 in the surrounding area. , more handicrafts, and more used to serve the low-class people in the government.

If there were no untouchables in the mouth 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 500 people now have to manage [-] 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.

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

Ha ha.

Counsel Song has something to say.

It turns out that no one cares about and no one does things, no matter how many officials have been added, they are still no one cares about and no one does.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 does not have so many things in Guanzhong, so they praise Cao Cao for his good governance, and then laugh at Guanzhong Sanfu. What's the point?Either there is something here or there is something there, look at my big Shandong, 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.

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 own 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, looting and fires are immediately caused, and then spread to more official residences, isn't it a normal development process?
At that time, let's see what these officials who say all day long under Cao Cao's rule, the world is peaceful, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and Xu County is safe and peaceful!
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 was small and close.

"Your Majesty, this method is not appropriate... Even if this mob can get close to the city, it will be difficult to accomplish..." In the shadow of the courtyard, a person whispered, "Now Tuntian Zhonglang will order four The door is closed, only with these unarmed people...』

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

Officials who don't do things can generally make a living, but 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 similar. They flourished during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and then declined during the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Of course, this decline just means that the law does not recognize the relationship between diners and masters, and it is not allowed to raise diners on a large scale, 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?Similarly, even in later generations, "menke" still exists, just like a senior consultant raised by the boss of the company, which may be equivalent to "Tan Shuo Ke" among the door customers, and there are also "clear talkers" and "walking men". "Assassin", "Author" and so on...

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

It's like being in the moment.

Those outside the city and inside the city actually have Huang Wan's servants, or confidantes, and the retainers do not guarantee much loyalty, so Huang Wan did not let these retainers participate too much, but politely said that he would send these retainers He left, but to Huang Wan's surprise, this doorman did not just leave, but came back again...

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

This man is slightly thin, with three strands of beard, whether long or short, and a shrewd look in his eyes, "Your Majesty, although you are not talented, you know loyalty!"Now the king wants to implement the policy of knocking on the door, to ease the grievances of the people, and I am deeply admired... But in this way, the king seems to be taking himself a little lightly...』

"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's face was upright, "Why do you have to make such a joke, Your Majesty?"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 bit 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 it is as expected... the king in this city should also Some people either complained about their grievances or clamored, and then...these goods were 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 please resign, the emperor Whether it is decided or not, according to the etiquette, it is necessary to thank in court... Therefore, if the emperor can take this opportunity to rectify the palace ban and coordinate soldiers... it is not a 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 chaos, the emperor can have a very correct reason to punish the officials around Xu County. Unfortunately, the current person in charge of Xu County Most of these officials around are from the Cao family.

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

But even if they want to turn their faces, 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 advance by 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.

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

Huang Wan laughed loudly, then cupped his hands to Jiang Gan and said, "Master Ziyi, why bother 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 the job. This old man is already old, can't he enjoy it for a few days?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 strategy..." Jiang Gan said in a low voice, "I had to hand over to one person before, who was the gate order of the South Gate... This person is also loyal, and he often sighs secretly. The teacher is a disaster for the Han Dynasty... If you can trust me, you might as well escape by feigning death, go out through the south gate, go to Wancheng, walk through Wuguan, and enter Chang'an!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 eliminate 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 watched 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! 』
