In the lonely Jingzhao Mansion, Ma Yueyou, who was alone, visited Chang'an City. With a bright moon above his head, he sat on the eaves with a pot of wine and stepped on the tile.

The body is full of alcohol, and this year's Sanfu drought has occurred, but Chang'an City, where singing and dancing, has not been affected at all.

Looking into the distance with misty eyes, yesterday Yang Dang transferred twelve county soldiers from Chang'an County to temporarily serve as his guards. Peng Shi went to Hedong, Sun Wei ran to recruit rangers, and even Liu Erlang, who was lame, was sent by him to supervise Du Ji's trial of prisoners. He didn't even have a henchman by his side, and if he could, he would rather be alone in the empty mansion.

Glancing at the military man standing below, Ma Yue laughed self-deprecatingly, to put it bluntly, these people are here to spy on him, and this Yang Dang is still bold enough.

I put a cage on this Northwest beast.

Ma Yue is a little disgusted with Chang'an and Luoyang, these two ancient capitals.

The hierarchy of human beings is especially evident here, where the city is both real and false. The real city is in the hearts of the people, after the city gate is a noble person, and if you live outside the city, you are a pariah!

The things that the dignitaries and nobles in the city think are always different from those outside the city, and without the pressure of survival, how would they know about the people's livelihood and suffering?

So just messing around, waiting, waiting until the fucking people outside of the city are up and still don't understand what's wrong!

On such a night, Sun Wei led the emaciated Xianbei horse back to Chang'an City, returned to the city with seven unknown rangers, and knelt down in front of Ma Yue.

"Fujun, Sun Wei is worthy of your trust, and only found seven rangers."

Ma Yue threw the wine jug into Sun Wei's arms, jumped down on the tile, clapped his palms and staggered a little, and glanced at the seven people behind Sun Wei with misty eyes.

Dressed in shabby clothes, with a strong body, and bare-handed.

Shaking his head, he pulled Sun Wei up from the ground and said, "It's okay, at least there are seven people now." ”

Saying that, Ma Yue turned his head and dragged a county soldier, and the thin smell of wine whistled: "Tell Yang County Order, just say I'll let you go back." ”

Looking at the back of the county soldier leaving dejectedly, Ma Yue smiled, could it be that he couldn't do it alone?

How many times have I been stubborn and stubborn myself, is it possible that I am going to restrain these villain county orders in this Jing Zhaoyin's realm?

I'm afraid that Yang Dang still doesn't know what kind of beast is imprisoned in the cage he personally weaved for Ma Yue.

……

Early in the morning, Chang'an County Guansi.

Yang Dang stepped on the wheel, turned around and smiled: "How many rangers have come up from Jingzhao Yin Mansion?" You go to Luoyang, meet your father, and ask Ma Yue what his plans are! ”

Sitting on the high car, Yang Dang slowly hugged his arms, squinted his eyes all the way with the shaking of the body, and enjoyed humming a little song in general, the carriage was along the avenue of Chang'an City, the flowers outside were red and willow green, and the spring sun was just right, shining on the body warmly.

The direction in which the carriage was going - Jingzhao Province.

When Yang Dang's book was placed on Ma Yue's case, Ma Yue looked at Yang Dang with a smile and asked, "What does Yang County's order mean?" ”

The cover scroll on the book has already explained that this is a volume to be played in Luoyang to the Holy Hearing.

"Since the lower official is the Chang'an Order, it is natural to report to you first before playing. Last year's Sanfu locust plague, this year's harvest is not good, there are many tax evaders in the county, and the lower officials want to raise the county army to inspect the tax evaders, and there are many homeless people wandering outside the city at this time, I want to ask you what you mean. ”

"Then what does Yang County Ling want to do?" Ma Yue put his hand on several cases and said with a smile: "You are Guo Changshou's fake son, can't you do these things well?" ”

Yang Dang beckoned, and a scribe stepped forward to worship Ma Yue, and then arched his hand and said: "Yufujun, Chang'an County has been providing disaster relief for three consecutive years, and there is no one in the barn for disaster relief. Therefore......"

Ma Yue pointed to the book and asked, "This is the invitation for Luoyang to allocate grain?" ”

"No." Yang Dang bowed his head slightly and said, "Not only food, but also money." Chang'an County is almost empty, and Fan Gong has built a canal before, and there is not much money in the treasury of Chang'an. These are all counted on by His Majesty. ”

When he said this, Yang Dang was very serious, and Ma Yue frowned and asked, "Then what have you done in the past few years?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a subordinate brought more than ten volumes of books and put them in front of Ma Yue, and said: "Fujun, this is the income and expenditure of Chang'an County in the past ten years, please take a look." ”

Past your mother's eyes! Ma Yue is about to flip the table, this Yang Dang is prepared, regardless of whether these books are true or false, he won't be able to finish reading them for a while.

"I know, is there anything else going on with the Yang County Order?"

"The lower officials have nothing else to do." Yang Dang got up and bowed his hand, and then said: "It's good that you know, then the lower official will retire." ”

Looking at the back of Yang Dang getting up and leaving, Ma Yue pinched his eyebrows, what does this Yang Dang mean, he wants the imperial court to allocate money, but the land of Sanfu is notoriously rich in Guanzhong, how can it become so barren like him, and the granary and treasury are about to run out?

Flipping through the book, Ma Yue's brows furrowed more and more.

In the winter of the third year of Xiping, Chang'an County ordered Chen Weng to be dismissed for his crimes, and Luoyang Yang Dang was appointed as Chang'an Commander as Luoyang filial piety.

Ma Yue didn't expect that this Yang Party was from Luoyang, if he remembered correctly, there was a big incident in Luoyang in the third year of Tongxiping, Cao Cao served as the county lieutenant in the north of Luoyang, and set up a five-color stick to beat Jian Shuo's uncle to death. It is estimated that he is also afraid that he will be beaten to death by Cao Mengde for a reason.

After all, at that time, the children of eunuchs broke the law, and the punishment was much more severe than that of ordinary people.

In the fourth year of Xiping, the balance of income and expenditure of Chang'an County in this year was 16 million yuan, because the Western Regions attacked the country of Kumi in the king of Khotan, and was defeated, and the king of Kumi was killed and used as military expenses.

In the sixth year of Xiping, the balance of income and expenditure in Chang'an County was 19 million yuan, Xia Yu attacked Xianbei, and the surplus money of Chang'an County was replenished again.

Then, there is a protracted turbulent era, prices are soaring, and the balance of Chang'an County is getting smaller and smaller year by year, but the assets are all going to have their own places, and there is nothing to be greedy in the blink of an eye.

In recent years, Sanfu has become more and more chaotic year by year, and Chang'an's tax revenue has decreased, and there are more repairs to the city, military funds, and more grain openings, so the surplus will naturally not save anything.

When Ma Yue finished reading the books of the past ten years, it was already dark, and a bright moon hung outside the window, Ma Yue sighed slowly.

He almost finished reading Yang Dang's official records in the past ten years.

Walking out of Jingzhao Mansion, Yang Dang walked on foot, and the scribe followed him and asked, "County Order, why do you want to send all the county's revenue and expenditure in the past ten years?" ”

Yang Dang shook his head and said: "As soon as he Ma Yue came over, he thought that I was a traitor who was greedy for the Mo Wangfa, so he didn't want to think about it, is the county order of Chang'an so easy to do?" Didn't Lao Tzu do any good things? ”
