The main purpose of leaving Beijing this time is to find Dian Wei, this search for someone is actually equivalent to a tour of the mountains and rivers, so Liu Xian mentioned it to the woman at home to see who wants to go out together.

Kong Xue and Cai Yan naturally couldn't travel, Zhang Ning took the initiative to stay, after all, there also needs to be someone who knows martial arts at home.

Wang Qing has already broken through that layer of relationship with Liu Xian, and Wang Yue also knows. Liu Xian originally planned to marry Zou Yu when he accepted her together, but she herself was unwilling.

It's not that she really doesn't want to marry Liu Xian, but she still prefers to be Liu Xian's personal guard, and prefers to be able to follow Liu Xian's side often. But this time, she offered to stay and sit in the sky tower and take on the security task of guarding Diao Chan.

This is actually what Wang Yue asked Wang Qing to stay.

Wang Yue is the number one swordsman in Luoyang Capital, and he is actually an assassin, in the past, he did have the option to do some assassination missions to make money. After all, even if you are the number one swordsman in the world, you have to eat, don't you? He didn't have any livelihood in the capital, he opened a martial arts hall to teach apprentices, and he didn't receive much tuition or anything.

So, he had to have some means of making a living.

In other words, it is somewhat related to some of the three religions and nine streams of the people.

As the reputation of Laiying'er and Diao Chan grows, there will always be some ghosts and ghosts who will emerge with the intention of doing them evil.

Wang Yue received some rumors among the people, so he felt that it was necessary to strengthen the protection of the two daughters.

Among Wang Yue's apprentices, the female disciple is Wang Qing's best martial arts, and she thinks that it is best for Wang Qing to protect the two daughters. After all, Wang Qing's exposure rate is not high, and most people don't know her and haven't seen her. And Zhang Ning and Huang Wudie are not very suitable for personal protection. In addition to Zhang Ning and Huang Wudie, who are already well-known, their identities are no longer suitable for personal protection of the two women. Therefore, Wang Yuecai asked Wang Qing not to marry Liu Xian first, and to protect Liu Xian and the people around Liu Xian first.

Now Wang Qing has also become Liu Xian's woman, so Wang Yue's care for Liu Xian has also gone further. He has long been tied to Liu Xian now, and whether he and his disciples have a good way out in the future depends on Liu Xian.

Wang Yue can clearly distinguish the importance of some things, and Wang Qing, the apprentice, can talk about Liu Xian's family affairs later.

In this way, Huang Wudie replaced Wang Qing and followed Liu Xian. Of course, Huang Wudie also likes it, she prefers to follow Liu Xian everywhere.

Then Zou Yu, Yi Ji and Lai Ying'er also wanted to go to other places with Liu Xian to play, and the two of them got up, and Liu Xian simply let a few women of different races such as Xiang Li Rose and Luo Ying come together, so that they could also see some of the local folk customs of the Han Dynasty.

There is no way, Liu Xian not only wants to develop, but also wants to maintain a good relationship with his own woman, he wants to go out, and it is not bad to take them to play together.

In this way, the group set off mightily, but they walked very slowly, stopping and stopping along the way, and every time they went to a place, as long as there was a fun place, Liu Xian would stop and accompany them to play.

Liu Xian was not short of money, so he built a lot of comfortable carriages. Therefore, the so-called situation of living in a boat or something will not appear, and these women will not only not feel tired of such a trip, but they are quite happy and excited.

After leaving the Tiger Prison, the situation seems to be a little different in various places.

The towns around the capital are relatively stable and stable, whether it is in terms of public security or people's livelihood, they are indeed good, they all seem to be more orderly, and life is not too hard. However, leaving the area outside of the Eight Towns of Gongwei Capital, the situation is completely different.

The local government will be more nervous, and if there is any turmoil, they will worry about thieves and chaos. As for ordinary people, it is even more panicked, giving people a sense of panic. Many towns or villages can give people a sense of desolation.

In fact, it has been a year or two since the Yellow Rebellion, and it stands to reason that it should be stabilized. But it's not.

After the chaos, the Han Dynasty was really in turmoil. In particular, when the local government is not effective, it will be difficult to return to the previous situation in which the people live and work in peace and contentment.

The government did not act, and the people lost confidence in the government. Especially when the land rent and taxes have not changed, and the pressure is still heavy, they all have to bear multiple pressures. Faith in their lives has been lost.

This is not the case in one place, but in general.

There has always been a rumor among the people that the Han Dynasty has exhausted its morale, but in fact, it is really not groundless, if the livelihood of the people of the Han Dynasty cannot be improved, the Han chaos is indeed inevitable.

The whole Han Dynasty is so big, there are indeed few places that can really make the people live and work in peace and contentment, and make the people feel that there is hope and a way out.

Because of the depression of people's livelihood along the way, the girls lost their interest in continuing to play.

It is precisely because they see the situation of the people of Dahan that they understand better how great what Liu Xian has done. Because what Liu Xian has done can indeed enable more people to survive and live better.

The team did not go in the direction of Chen Liu.

Because at this time, Dian Wei was naturally not in the territory of Chenliu.

Dian Wei is wanted by the government, and it is naturally impossible for him to live in his hometown anymore.

According to the information collected, the last place where Dian Wei appeared was Zhongmu County.

Seriously speaking, it is very close from Luoyang to Zhongmu County, which is closer than to Chenliu County. If he hadn't traveled with these women, Liu Xian would have been able to arrive as soon as he could, because it was only more than three hundred or four hundred miles.

It took about four days to get out this way, that is to say, Pingjun walked less than 100 miles in a day.

Zhongmu County is also a historical city. And the strategic location of this place is also more important, however, because the Dahantun army is in the Tiger Pass, so the strategic focus has been moved to the area of the Tiger Pass, which is relatively not too important.

Of course, this is only temporary, and when the time comes, after the county rises up, this place will also become important. Later, during the battle of Guandu between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, it was also an important strategic location.

Besides, Zhongmu is also a relatively close area to Beijing. It stands to reason that better officials must be sent here to govern this place. But in fact, the situation in Zhongmu County is not very good.

First of all, the city wall of Zhongmu County is really a little dilapidated, which is a manifestation of disrepair.

The people and pedestrians who enter and exit Zhongmu County are basically in a panic and hurry, and there are very few scenes of laughter and laughter.

Liu Xian and his entourage, with more than 1,000 people and 2,000 people, naturally alarmed the county order of Zhongmu County.

Zheng Bo also asked people to go to the Zhongmu County Government to vote for a famous post. Therefore, the county magistrate of Zhongmu County naturally did not dare to slack off, and before Liu Xian arrived, he led the civil and military officials of Zhongmu County to wait at the gate in the north of the city.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in later generations, the county order of Zhongmu County said that it was Chen Palace, but it was not. Chen Gong did not serve as an official in Zhongmu County.

Therefore, the Zhongmu County Order that greeted Liu Xian at this time was definitely not the Chen Palace who followed Lu Bu later.

However, today's county magistrate of Zhongmu County is not an obscure person. In the history of the Three Kingdoms, he did leave his mark, but it was relatively slight and was mentioned.

This county magistrate of Zhongmu County is actually a new person who has not been in office for a long time, and his surname is Yang Mingyuan.

Speaking of Yang Yuan, he is actually one of the initiators of the anti-Dong Zhuo. After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he first went to Henan Yin to act and raised troops against Dong. Then led Zhongmu and other counties to resist Dong Zhuo.

Note that during this period, in fact, Cao Cao had not yet launched a document to denounce Dong Zhuo. The first thing that really opposed Dong was actually the county order of Zhongmu County.

However, soon after, Cao Cao issued an edict to denounce Dong Zhuo, and after Cao Cao led his army to Zhongmu, he incorporated Yang Yuan's military horse.

But after Yang Yuan's army was absorbed by Cao Cao, this Yang Yuan seemed to disappear suddenly, and there was no record of him again.

It is estimated that he was either killed in battle or killed by Cao Cao.

But what Liu Xian really cares about is not this Yang Yuan, but another character.

This person is Ren Jun.

Liu Xian naturally didn't know that there was such a number one person in Zhongmu County, and he didn't even know Yang Yuan, the county magistrate of Zhongmu County. However, after coming here, I saw Zhongmu County, and then some information that Liu Xian had read before appeared in my mind, including a brief introduction to the county order of Zhongmu County and another character, Ren Jun.

These materials, Liu Xian had not read them in some books or read them on Du Niang in his previous life. But he had already forgotten it, and if it hadn't triggered the memory in his mind, Liu Xian wouldn't have known about it at all.

Ren Jun, the word Boda. Died 204.

He is a native of Zhongmu County, and his people are generous and reasonable, and at the time of famine, he accepts friends and orphans, Chinese and foreign poor sects, and is known for his faith and righteousness.

Yang Yuan himself has no talent and is relatively mediocre. Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and when the world was shaken, Yang Yuan wanted to abandon his official position and escape. It was Ren Jun who persuaded and gave Yang Yuan advice, so Yang Yuan stayed, and acted according to Ren Jun's words, becoming the first anti-Dong initiative. Of course, it's a pity that Yang Yuan is indeed too mediocre to help up.

In fact, Liu Xian came to Zhongmu here, and when he saw the situation in Zhongmu, he could basically see that this Yang Yuan was indeed a mediocre person, otherwise, Zhongmu County would not be so depressed.

After Liu Xian met with the county commander Yang Yuan, he listened to him introduce other officials in Zhongmu County, but did not hear Ren Jun's name. Come to think of it, at this time, Ren Jun has not yet come together with Yang Yuan, and he has not yet become Yang Yuan's master.

This is also reasonable.

Ren Jun is in Zhongmu County, he should be the kind of local hero, even if he is not a local hero, he should also be a local famous family. Because when he later voted for Cao Cao, Ren Jun took hundreds of people from his clan to join Cao Cao.

Historically, after Ren Jun returned to Cao Cao, he was also deeply reused and trusted by Cao Cao. Every time Cao Cao went on an expedition, it was Ren Jun who presided over the logistics and supply work for Cao Cao.

It is worth mentioning that the tuntian system implemented by Cao Cao later was actually proposed by Ren Jun to Cao Cao first. As a result, Ren Jun was appointed by Cao Cao as the general of the Diannong Zhonglang. Later, he was named the Marquis of Duxiang.

Ren Jun was under Cao Cao's account, and he made great contributions repeatedly, which can be described as a high degree of hard work, and when he died, Cao Cao cried for a long time.

That's a character. He is especially good at logistics and production, and is a rare talent.

After entering the city, Liu Xian settled the girls before attending Yang Yuan's banquet.

Liu Xian's reputation has long been spread here, after all, this place is not far from Luoyang.

Therefore, Yang Yuan is naturally respectful to Liu Xian. The rest of the officials at all levels are naturally extremely deferential.

Liu Xian chatted with them casually, and couldn't help but be a little speechless about these Zhongmu County officials.

They may not all be bad people, but they are definitely mediocre people. Faced with the current situation in Zhongmu County, they don't know how to deal with it. Anyway, it's just a mess, and it's like a day at a time.

Zhongmu County is poor, and what these officials do every day is to think about how to receive taxes on grain and how to get money and grain.

Of course, this is not to say that they are scavenging the people's fat and ointment to enrich themselves, but that they are all struggling to pay some of the taxes demanded from above.

Their predecessor, the county magistrate of Zhongmu County, was dismissed because he could not pay the taxes paid to the county government. This is the matter of Yang Yuan becoming the county magistrate of Zhongmu County.

As a result, the people have not been able to restore production order normally. Where is the money and grain to pay taxes to the government? The people are given money and grain to the government, so where does the government have the money and grain to pay to the government at the next level?

Liu Xian is a rich man, these officials in Zhongmu County actually want Liu Xian to help and borrow them some money and grain to deal with the government above.

In addition, isn't Liu Xian helping the people of the world? They also all hope that Liu Xian can provide some relief to the people of Zhongmu County.

In fact, the life of the people in Zhongmu County is naturally hard, but it is not to the point where there is really no way to survive.

What the people of Zhongmu County lack is an effective governance, and what they lack is some useful guidance.

When he came, Liu Xian also saw that many fields had been abandoned and no one cultivated.

Whose responsibility is it to leave a good field uncultivated, and then leave the people without food? It is the responsibility of the incompetence of their government officials.

However, since he encountered it, Liu Xian naturally can't turn a blind eye and will still take care of it.

But how to manage, then we must first understand the actual situation.

Under normal circumstances, if it is an official's problem, Liu Xian will attack the official. In any case, the ranks of officials in this government must be put in order before it is possible to do anything else. Otherwise, everything would be in vain, and Liu Xian naturally didn't want to waste his efforts.
