Winter (rì) is approaching, and Luoyang has also entered the preparation for winter early.

Families have changed into winter clothes and are ready for the winter of the new year.

Last winter, everyone didn't have a good time.

Since the Yellow Turban incident at the beginning of last year, there have been many sins in the world, and even some of them have affected the market in Luoyang.

Inevitably, the supply in various places has decreased considerably.

Some Hou Ye families wanted to buy a piece of Shu silk for their wife's concubine's room to buy a few beautiful clothes (shēn), but there was no way to buy them.

The people in Luoyang have complained about the slight increase in the price of rice and the expenditure on various food and clothing.

It's really hard to get by.

This year is better, but this (rì) is still not steady.

Those sensible gentlemen have said that when the new officials take office, they have to go to the West Garden first to pay the fees for being officials, and those who can't pay them will be punished!

I don't know what's going on these years, I don't want to be an official anymore.

It's just that I listened to those merchants who went south and north and didn't want to die, and said that this day is already good at his feet.

"Well, it's not a good year."

Zhang Shan and Li Si sat down face to face, and the two only shouted a pot of wine, because the price of wine is now expensive.

Recently, the two of them have done a lot of work to support their families, and Zhang Shan has been tired lately, and he chatted with Li Si about this year's big events.

"That's not it, not to mention that there are many accidents with the elders this year, there are many rebels in the world."

Li Si is also tired, and recently he has received less money, and prices have been higher.

The candy man in the neighborhood used to be able to buy it for five yuan, but now it can't be bought without fifteen yuan.

The daughter-in-law of the family is also talking about the price of red makeup.

"Alas"

Zhang Shan couldn't stop sighing.

"Yang Su Lao is the emperor's teacher, nine times as Jiuqing, five times as the third duke, the official worships Sikong, over the years since he stepped down, I heard that (shēn) body has always been good, but at the beginning of this year, he said he would leave."

Zhang Shan admired Yang Cike very much in his heart, the representative of Hongnong Yang's family, the model of the yearning of the scholars, able to teach in seclusion, the state and county should not be recruited, the three dukes were recruited but not went, he was the emperor's teacher, and he also served as Guangluxun and Yue Cavalry Captain.

It can be regarded as the existence of the general and the phase.

"In addition to Yang Sulao, Chen Gong and Liu Gong are also wronged"

"Be careful!"

Li Si was just about to speak, but Zhang Shan covered his mouth.

Yang Ci's matter (qíng) can be said, because Yang Ci died of natural causes, but the former Situ Chen Tan and the counselor Liu Tao, the matter of the two of them (qíng) cannot be said in public.

After all, both of them have grievances with the eunuchs, which is not in line with the emperor's wishes.

Now the court is very wonderful, in a strange balance of power.

The two also knew that this matter could not be said again, so they turned to the matter of this year's rebellion (qíng).

"Not to mention the affairs of the elders (qíng), there are really a lot of rebellions this year."

Li Si knows more about this aspect (qíng), and he has recently been in a new place to do business, and he has a more important relationship with the soldiers, so he will hear about this aspect (qíng) from time to time.

"You know a lot, tell me."

Zhang Shan took a sip of wine.

Now his entertainment is to drink with Li Si every day.

I don't know if the price has risen, and whether this wine can still be afforded.

"Actually, it's because of the fire in February this year."

Li Si lowered his voice and whispered to Zhang Shan.

"The scene where Nangong was destroyed?"

Zhang Shan blinked his eyes, like a curious baby.

Li Si nodded.

"In February, the South Palace was destroyed, and the one in the palace gave His Majesty an idea, and His Majesty issued an edict to add ten yuan per mu tax in addition to the normal tax to help repair the palace room."

"In addition, all states and counties have to send timber and aragonite into Beijing, which has a lot of doorways, and the people's taxes are very heavy."

"Coupled with the comprador bureaucracy (qíng), many magistrates have been making a lot of money when they take office."

Li Si shook his head helplessly.

"So this year, the bands were exposed everywhere, Yizhou and Jiaozhi in the southwest, Huanglong, Qingzhou nearby, and the Black Mountain thieves in Jizhou, and the Yellow Turban Army that was suppressed before, changed their names, and they all made a fuss again."

"In March, Liangzhou Beigong Boyu led the army to attack Sanfu, if it weren't for the old general Huangfu, the Sanfu area would have been taken, and the sword would have been pointed at Luoyang in an instant."

"It's a pity that General Huangfu was dismissed again, but fortunately, Zhang Sikong also managed the army well, and broke Bian Zhang, Han Sui, and that Xiliang Tiger Dong Zhongying went to crusade against Lingqiang, and it was the same as the previous Battle of the Yellow Turban, and he returned in vain."

"That's right!"

Li Si suddenly thought of something.

"Today (rì) just came from Taiyuan, Bingzhou."

When Zhang Shan heard this, he was energized.

This shouldn't be too bad, after all, Liu Bei's name is still good in everyone's minds.

"You say!"

"Xianbei is a big disturbance, and two states. Youzhou's, as usual, was chased and beaten by the white horse general Gongsun Zhan. ”

"The Yanmen Pass in Bingzhou was broken, and the Yanmen guards were killed in battle, but Xuande Gong rushed to the aid in time, and wiped out more than 100,000 Xianbei with more than 10,000 Taiyuan garrisons!"

"Shhh

Zhang Shan gasped.

Liu Xuande really didn't disappoint!

Since the Battle of the Yellow Turbans, when 500 broke 50,000 Yellow Turbans, Liu Bei's achievements have been widely spread, and this time it has been upgraded to a higher level.

With 10,000 people, hundreds of thousands of people were annihilated.

Although this kind of feats are not as invincible as the champion Hou, they are enough to go down in history!

It seems that His Majesty is still very good at using generals.

"How many details do you know, let's hear them one by one."

Zhang Shan was very interested in Liu Bei's deeds, because they had also heard about something.

It was the little Chen Gongzi of Luoyang, the immortal son Chen Chen, who was the original celebrity, and now he is assisting under Liu Bei.

The two of them spoke vigorously, diluting the original sorrow.

But the people who live in Luoyang are not like Zhang Shan and Li Si, two scholars, who understand things and current affairs, they are more likely to listen to what these people say.

said that it is today's big man, those places with poor mountains and bad waters, most people can't open the pot.

There is a lot of commotion in many places, and they are going to rebel against the court with the flag!

This sounds like people everywhere are struggling to make a living, and they don't know if everyone can survive this winter and usher in a new year that may be beautiful?

Therefore, the whole of Luoyang, just like the previous Zhangshan Li Si, is shrouded in a shadow (yīn).

But.

The people who live in Luoyang don't know what the real world is like outside, they can only rely on hearing about it.

This is also the status quo in this day and age.

Hermes-Epitek only knows that there is Han.

Luoyang only knows Luoyang.

The lag (xìng) and occlusion (xìng) of messaging make many people's image of the world mainly come from various hearsay.

Previously, Chen Chen took Luoyang as the center to promote merchants to spread the news.

It's a great job.

At least now, whether it is most of the people of Luoyang or most of the people in the world, they all know that there is a Han clan relative who is extremely heroic in the Battle of the Yellow Turban, named Liu Bei, and the legendary story of their three Taoyuan brothers.

Of course, they didn't know that Liu Bei had successfully annihilated the Xianbei army that had invaded Yanmen Pass this time, and they believed that after this incident, Liu Bei's reputation could rise again.

The people don't know.

But the court knows.

The first thing that happened to the present (rì) court meeting was the battle report sent from Taiyuan, Bingzhou.

"Your Majesty, this is a battle report sent by Liu Xuande from Bingzhou."

Zhang Rang received the battle report sent by Liu Bei from Taiyuan to Luoyang about the battle of Yanmen from Taiyuan from Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan, the position of the third lieutenant, was bought at a high price, and he still maintained respect and some flattery for Zhang Rang.

After all, the predecessors of the three princes in this court are all lessons from the past.

In the matter of buying officials, it is not necessarily the uncle who spends money.

Zhang Rang respectfully handed the battle report to Liu Hong.

Liu Hong's heart (qíng) has not been very good this year.

He hopes that this battle report will bring good news to him and make him a little happier.

He doesn't care much about the affairs of the state (qíng), he is more concerned about the affairs above the court (qíng) this year, and the changes in the trade-offs made this year also make him bothered.

Liu Hong opened the battle report, but he thought about another thing first.

That is, whether the small organization of night stalkers should be expanded.

Now he is more and more aware of the annoyance of running out of manpower.

The previous arrangement for the night owl was that Liu Hong asked them to monitor the list he had made in the small book, and every household on the list had to be well monitored.

Liu Hong has always felt that he is very accurate in seeing people.

The court meeting in 平 (rì) can see whose mind is a little problematic.

And those important state capitals and large counties will also arrange one or two manpower to be stationed.

So he has an excellent control over the news of some of his officials.

That's just that, they can make so much mess (qíng).

Liu Hong felt that the procuratorial departments in his hands were still understaffed.

But if you want to expand, it will be a big expense.

Raising these people requires him to pay for it himself, and the money he has collected over the years has not been less invested in the night owl.

Saying

And the state, Taiyuan.

It seems that no one from the night stalker has been arranged.

However, Wang Yue has always said that there are not enough manpower recently, so he will put it aside for the time being, and talk about it when it is expanded in the future.

Liu Xuande, this guy is from the old Liu family, and the land where birds don't in the state, it is estimated that he can't make anything, so he won't care about it for now.

With a good idea, Liu Hongcai calmly looked at the battle report from the state.

The smile on his face.

Since I read the war report, I have never stopped.
