Han Dao world

Chapter 945
Xun Chen was in a complicated mood.

The emperor didn't want to talk about it now, and gave him a chance to buffer, which is of course a good thing.

But the irony in the emperor's tone was so obvious that the Ruying people in Yecheng were also classified as captives intentionally or unintentionally, obviously they didn't take him seriously, and they didn't intend to give Xun Yu face.

This is how to do?
Xun Chen was in a daze, but Xun Yu talked to Liu Xie about the harvest in Hedong today.

He was a little worried.The lack of rain in spring and summer this year has affected the growth of wheat seedlings, and the harvest this year is a little lower than last year.

Liu Xie was surprised.

Although the grain from Hedong has not yet arrived, he has already received the relevant documents.The grain tax paid by Hedong is not less than last year, and even a little more.

Especially the money, nearly [-]% more than last year.

"Your Majesty, there are two reasons for this." Xun Yu explained: "One is that the people are grateful to His Majesty and hope to help His Majesty, so we still pay according to last year's amount. Second, although the wheat harvest this year is not good, the sericulture has achieved a lot. The harvest is rich, and the mulberry alone has collected nearly [-] shi, which can replace a lot of grain. Now every household has mulberry, and the women work in the weaving workshop, and the harvest is no less than that of farming, and there are naturally many taxes.”

Speaking of these, Xun Yu was in a good mood. "Because planting mulberry and silkworms is profitable, the rich families in Hedong also understand His Majesty's foresight. Many people took the initiative to save the land and handed over the excess land to make up for the rent in previous years. Now the river is full of money and food, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. All are given by His Majesty."

Liu Xie ordered people to take out the documents of Hedong County and read them carefully again.

To be honest, he was somewhat disappointed.

Xun Yu's ability is nothing to say, but his position is still problematic.After so many years, those big families in Hedong still occupy the extra land.Now seduced by interests, some people, in pursuit of higher profits, took the initiative to show favor to the court and handed over a lot of land. Xun Yu was very satisfied and even came to him to show his merits.

In fact, very few people do this, and more people still occupy the land and want to have the benefits of sericulture.

"As the chief benefactor, Fu Yin has a long way to go." Liu Xie put down the paperwork. "It's a good time to come this time. Let's take a walk in Wei County and learn from each other's strengths."

As he spoke, he took out the "Wei Jun Du Tian Ji" compiled by Yang Jun, pushed it in front of Xun Yu, and patted it lightly.

Xun Yu, who was eloquent and eloquent, was a little embarrassed, closed his mouth embarrassingly, took the thick paperwork, and bowed to accept the order.

"only."

Seeing this, Xun Chen's heart tightened even more.

The Son of Heaven was dissatisfied with Xun Yu's achievements in Hedong, and even disdained to hide it, so he put it directly on his face and asked him to compare with Wei Jun.

Wei County has just recovered for half a year, so even if the political performance is good, how good can it be?

I don't know which cruel official, in order to please the emperor, regardless of the life and death of the people, levies and extorts violently.

Xun Chen wanted to say a few words of irony, but seeing the emperor's face, he swallowed it after thinking about it.

When we met for the first time, the emperor's impression of him was still in Yuan Shao's old department, so it's not good to speak too deeply.

-

After talking for less than half an hour, Brother Xun Yu said goodbye and left the account.

Liu Xie asked them to arrange accommodation for them.

After leaving the big tent, Xun Chen wanted to visit Cai Yan and Yuan Yu to learn about the progress of the compilation of "Dang Gu Lie Biography".Xun Yu stopped him, and clapped "Wei Jun Du Tian Ji" in his hand.

"The top priority is two things. One is to reunite with the family, and the other is to see the situation in Wei County. Everything else will be pushed back."

"Why?" Xun Chen was puzzled.

"Brother, don't you still understand? How many party members have contributed to the victory of Weijun Dutian and Yecheng? The party members either stayed away from the battlefield and watched from the sidelines, or they were waiting to be rescued in Yecheng. At this moment, you speak out for the party members , who will listen to you?"

Xun Chen's face suddenly collapsed.

"Understand the situation first, then argue, and don't engage in unnecessary disputes." Xun Yu smacked, and said: "If there is a chance, I would like to meet Yang Jun, maybe it will be beneficial."

"You know him?"

"He is a disciple of Bian Wenli (Bian Rang)."

Xun Chen was very surprised.

Bian Rang is a famous scholar and Confucian scholar from Chenliu, who obeyed the famous teaching. As his disciple, how could Yang Jun become a cruel official?
There must be something hidden here.

"Alright, I'll go with you when the time comes to meet this capable official."

-

After several rounds of consultations, the procedure for the surrender of the defenders of Yecheng was finally determined.

Shen Pei and Tian Feng are dead, and Yuan Xi has become the unyielding core.

At the prisoner offering ceremony, he went to the emperor's camp on foot from the south gate of Yecheng, with a white sheep in his hand and a rope around his neck.

His mother Liu Shi, wife Guo Shi and younger siblings all followed behind, all dressed in common clothes, without makeup, without any jewelry.

Then, there are civil servants and military generals such as Zhang Yun and Gao Lan. They go to the crown and cover up like Yuan Xi, but they don't need to lead the sheep.

Behind them was a group of captives composed of ordinary soldiers. They didn't need to remove their crowns or bare their flesh, but they were dressed in common clothes, with their heads bowed, and they followed step by step.

Many people were dissatisfied with the surrender. They felt that the condition was too harsh and it was better to fight.

But Shen Pei and Tian Feng had already committed suicide, and the group had no leader, so they didn't dare to say anything more.If you really want to annoy your teammates and be regarded as an obstacle to surrender, you may be hacked.

At this moment, walking in this humiliating team, many people looked fierce.

The closest to Yecheng were the troops of former general Duan Yan and Liu Bei, governor of Xuzhou.Just in case, and in order to participate in this prisoner offering ceremony, they all put on armor and weapons, and stood ready to prevent the prisoners from resisting.

Although it was early in the morning and the weather wasn't too hot, it was still uncomfortable to wear armor and battle robes. Many soldiers were so hot that their faces were covered with sweat.

But no one complained.

Especially Liu Bei's subordinates, who were once trapped in Pengcheng by the Jizhou army and defeated in field battles, knew the strength of the Jizhou army well.At this moment, they are the victorious side, escorting the Jizhou soldiers who are known for their elites, not to mention their satisfaction.

Looking at these soldiers with sweaty faces, still full of energy, and neatly lined up, the Jizhou Army couldn't help but click their tongues secretly.

Fighting against such elites, how much chance do they have?

Even if Shen Pei and Tian Feng survived, and the food in the city was sufficient, Ye City would not be able to hold on for too long.

After passing Duan Yan and Liu Bei's camp, Yang Feng and Dong Cheng took over the surveillance task and sent the captives across the Zhangshui tributary.

Han Yinding put on his armor, came to the riverside with Jiang Jiong and others, and led Yuan Xi and others forward.

They sat high on horseback, looked at the group of captives walking with their heads bowed, and laughed.

Han Yin laughed the loudest.

He often heard Han Sui say that when he went to Luoyang to make plans, he was ignored by Yuan Shao and others.Now, as the victor, he accepted the surrender of Yuan Shao's son together with the emperor, and he finally washed away his shame.

The only regret is that Yuan Shao himself died too early and did not appear in the team.

"Tsk, this woman is not bad." Han Yin's eyes lit up when he saw Queen Guo beside Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi's heart tightened, and Queen Guo couldn't help shivering.

Jiang Jiong coughed. "Young general, don't be rude. They are the emperor's captives. Even if you want them, you can only ask the emperor for a reward, and you can't snatch them yourself."

Han Yin laughed out loud. "Zhong Yi, what are you talking about? I am the general in front of the emperor, am I the kind of barbarian who snatches people when I see them? I just sigh with emotion. However, although this woman is good, she is still slightly inferior to Master Zhen. Inferior."

Queen Guo frowned when she heard this.
