Ma Yue felt that the general trend of the world was changing.

The Taishou, the shepherds, and the princes in various places, whether they had the heart of the auxiliary Han or the chaotic Han, did things that led to almost the same result.

The imperial power is weakening step by step.

Feudal towns, growing in power to become independent.

During the Yellow Turban period, the emperor issued an edict to give the power of the Taishou, the Assassin History, and the Hao clan to lead the troops. Subsequently, Liu Yan's state pastor Jinyan made the imperial court once again decentralize the power of governance. In the disputes again and again, the outstanding warriors led by Ma Yue obtained the power to open the palace, followed by Yuan Shao...... Now as long as these people are not dead, they have all become the great princes of the town and county.

Treating the pattern, the emperor treated the four princes in the southeast, northwest and northwest with a completely different approach. The Yizhou division of the clan Liu Yan was not asked by the imperial court. Jing Yang Sun Jian's aggression was like fire, and the imperial court also released soldiers and horses to fight against it. Gongsun Zhan, who embezzled Youji, even sent a large army to conquer the ...... But in Ma Yue, which is entrenched in the northwest, the attitude of the little emperor is very ambiguous.

Don't levie, don't beg, but don't get close, a feudal edict imprisons Ma Yuesheng and his descendants from generation to generation, and his children and grandchildren are not allowed to enter the Kanto region.

What is Kanto? East of Tongguan.

The current Liang Kingdom is the largest feudal state in the Han Dynasty, and all the princes and kings together are not as strong as him. But if the descendants of the surname Ma enter Tongguan, they will be like rebellion, and the world will fight together.

Ma Yue knew that in the days when he was silent, a new chapter had been opened in the world, indicating that a new era was coming.

This is not the Ma Yue era, nor is it the Yuan Shao era.

It's the era of hegemony!

……

Dong Zhuo left, leaving with his extremely brave Bingzhou Feixiong and seven concubines, leaving behind his wife and son Dong Yu and three nurses with more than a dozen guards.

Ma Yue has no temper with Dong Zhuo at all, he and Dong Zhuo are friends, not to mention supporting each other in several crises, and even they have both prosperity and loss. Thus forming an alliance of forces in which the two princes should have no master and slave, but the Liang State was the main and the state was supplemented.

The reason is that Dong Zhuo doesn't want to be the leader.

This result surprised Ma Yuedu, but he is Dong Zhuo, he doesn't yearn for power? Especially the power to command him to cross the line? As long as he is controlled alone, it means that he can control the entire Liangzhou and even the northwest of the Han Dynasty, and Dong Zhuo, who is in trouble in another time and space, will not be moved?

There are many virtues of men, not greedy for money, not lustful, brave and tenacious, etc., etc., except for not being generous enough, all of them can be reflected in Ma Yue.

There are also many shortcomings of men, in addition to righteousness and courage, they can basically be reflected in Dong Zhuo one by one.

Dong Zhuo said that he had fought all his life, and he wanted to enjoy it.

Tongguan has soldiers and horses stationed, and he doesn't have to worry about anything, and he can almost completely realize his ambition when he was young...... You don't have to do anything, just have fun.

Of course, there is one of the biggest stumbling blocks on the way forward that Dong Zhuo enjoys, Liangguo needs to have his principal, Ma Yue has been enjoying it, so the responsibility on his shoulders will be heavier, so Dong Zhuo doesn't like it. Dong Zhuo's visit is an expression of his attitude to Ma Yue.

The wife and children are handed over to you, and you still have to come to the Liangguo affairs, and you can't hide when the sky falls. Bro I went to enjoy it...... Damn, Ma Yue is really worried about whether this slippery head will build a wine pond meat forest in Bingzhou.

This winter, braving the heavy snow to close the mountain, Ma Yue successively summoned Du Ji, Pei Hui, Pei Juan, Fu Xie, Jiang Xu, Zhao Ang, Yang Fu, Liang Hu, Cai Yong and others, and almost recruited all the talented and learned celebrities of the entire Liang country to the national capital. In addition to the scholars of civil governance, there are still warriors such as Guan Yu, Gan Ning, Yang Feng, and Xu Huang, and Ma Yue is about to start the discussion.

"Prefecture and county schools, ordnance and military systems, commercial and market tariffs, farming and animal husbandry, and royal court officials, I want you to come up with some decisions to make the Liang Kingdom stronger in the next days until the beginning of spring." Ma Yue paced left and right in the newly raised hall in Longxian County, and said to the military generals of the Liang Kingdom on both sides: "Idea, don't stick to the restrictions of etiquette, as long as you can make the Liang Kingdom rich and strong, I am not afraid of anything!" ”

Outside of the law of etiquette, it is basically impossible in this day and age. Because this era is dominated by rituals.

"Repay the king, the minister Du Ji has love to report!" As soon as Ma Yue's words fell, Jingzhao Yin Duji got up. Ma Yue turned his head, and someone responded before he gave the order, and it was Du Ji, who was impressive during his tenure, and Ma Yue was surprised, raised his hand and said: "Du Bohou has any opinions, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

For a while, everyone's eyes were focused on Du Ji's young face, this Sizhou man who held the power of Jingzhao was not a pivotal figure in the hearts of these Liangzhou generals, and even many people had no impression of him. In the Liang country, the Liang people are respected, although Ma Yue is also almost meritocracy, but people's hearts still can't help but take things like origin and bloodline too seriously.

"Your Excellency, I don't dare to take my opinion seriously, but it's just a little suggestion for the Taishou in various places." Du Yi arched his hand and said very respectfully: "The king of the city gate is very important, and he knows that his subordinates have led the capital for more than a few years, and the first county guard believes that many colleagues like Du are at a loss, and in the event of chaos, all the county guards have no experience, and it is inevitable that they will be in a hurry." For a long time, there has been no conclusion on how to do a good job of Taishou, not just his own 2,000 stone official position, and relying solely on the ethics of the incumbent to do things makes it impossible to have an effective standard for whether a county is well governed. Since the monarch does not care about the constraints of etiquette and law, can we set up a set of standard rules on how to be a county guard, and can also teach the future Taishou who has taken office at the beginning of the year to have a precedent to follow, and get twice the result with half the effort. ”

"Okay, do you disagree?" Ma Yue listened to the light in front of him, didn't Du Ji mean to set up a set of instructions on how to do a good job of being a Taishou? This is simply great, to be honest, he clearly knows that what Du Ji said is still relatively good, what is the first Taishou colleagues are at a loss, which of these Taishou in the ten counties of Liangzhou has experience? They all relied on their own actions, and even some counties did not hold too much of a guard like a private domain, or they were still an empty shell if they were left behind, and they all relied on the opinions of generals with soldiers and horses. Du Yi's words gave Ma Yue a lot of inspiration, as long as there is a fundamental function, even if a person with little talent is appointed, he can do the same thing in an official position like Taishou in full accordance with the rules.

Obviously, Du Ji's proposal is definitely worthy of recognition.

Even the eyes of Jia Xu and Cheng Li, the most respected people in Liangguo who were sitting in the front, lit up, and Jia Xu arched his hand and said: "Du Jingzhao's advice is good!" Not only the Taishou, but also the county magistrate can act in accordance with this set of decrees, so that the pressure on the national capital can be reduced. ”

"Yes, Du Bo is waiting for you to continue, and if you have any ideas, say them."

"As a county guard, the most common thing to face is to mediate the grievances of the people, not to mention the banditry of killing people and setting fires. Confucius Ziyun: There will be no lawsuits. Therefore, for the grievances of the common people, the officials must not tire of it, and they must persuade them with etiquette and morality, once and twice, and they are most afraid that the officials will hold the power in their hands and do not care about the life and death of the people, and the big and small crimes will be thrown directly into prison, which will make the king lose the hearts of the people, which can be counted as one. In addition, the Taishou could exempt the people from servitude, but this power should not be used privately, and the Taishou should inspect the subordinate counties every month and every ten years, and if they found filial sons, virgin women, and obedient grandchildren, they would be exempted from paying taxes, and encourage them to work hard and live well, so that not only the people would be stable, but the people's hearts would be further increased. ”

Du Yi said, many generals and Ma Yue listened carefully, most of the county guards in Liangzhou's hometown were filled by generals and warriors, where did they know how to govern, and when they heard Du Ji's words today, it was like an initiation, and they all looked at Du Ji attentively.

"The county guard must also urge the people to work hard to cultivate and weave, and raise more cattle and horses. Even if it is a small matter such as raising chickens, pigs and dogs, Taishou must be very concerned and must make rules for everything. In this way, the people worked hard in agriculture and had enough food and clothing, and the government could also accumulate a large amount of grain and grass. In addition to the huge consumption of military rations, military horses can be supplied by the people, and the country's warehouses can also be surplused. Education and military affairs, the minister really has nothing to suggest, but in addition to the county guards in various places, he also asks the king to set up a taishou in each county, and add an official who is responsible for inspecting the taishou, so as to supervise the practice of the taishou in various places, and truly achieve twice the result with half the effort. ”

Ma Yue applauded, looked back at the officials recorded in the hall and said, "Have you recorded all the opinions that Du Bohou said?" In the future, the Taishou of Liang Guo will do the same, and over time, can Liang Guo be strong? ”

Du Ji is a talent, a talent.

Ma Yue clapped his hands and asked the crowd over and over again: "What else, continue to discuss!" ”

Guan Yu got up again, Chen Ming's suggestion for the military affairs of the Liang State, to control the number of the armored army at 30,000 can not be increased, reduce the strength of the Taishou in various places, and distribute the armored army to each soldier and horse in the form of a thousand people, and build several soldiers and horses with different numbers in the Liang country, and further enhance the military strength of the Liang State without increasing the standing army.

Gan Ning suggested setting up water villages at the mouths of various rivers to train sailors, although they could not enter the Kanto region now, everyone knew that sooner or later one day would pass, and it would never hurt to plan as soon as possible. Everyone knows that whether it is three, five, eight, or ten years, they will always return to the land of Kanto again.

It's just that in the future, who knows what the situation will be in Liangguo and even the world?

They can't even see the current situation, let alone the future.

In 196 A.D., at the end of the third year of the original year, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty changed the name of the era in Luoyang, the imperial capital, and set the next year as the first year of Jian'an.

In the first year of Jian'an, the world was in turmoil, and the princes were in dispute. Ma Yue hid in the northwest to accumulate strength, and he knew that the era of all-out war was getting closer and closer...... What is missing is just an opportunity.
