I haven't seen him for more than a year, Zhang Zhan is a lot older, being an official is like this, if you ignore everything and throw it to your subordinates, it is easy to rule by hanging the arch, but if you are serious or even a little stupid like Zhang Zhan, you will fall into endless cases.

But the most tiring thing is the powerlessness that no matter how hard you try, you can't make the county stable, especially when the emperor who gave orders from the Shoucheng room said "I have a plan" for three days, so I can only be tired of coping.

After the fifth Lun met Zhang Zhan, he mentioned that he was shocked to hear that the emperor had changed the currency at the city gate, and Zhang Zhan also shook his head: "Last year, the county was conscripted to supply the army to the north to conquer the Xiongnu, and now the disadvantages have begun to appear. ”

Unlike the previous year's bumper harvest, many places were hit by disasters last autumn, while Hedong and other places had no snow in winter, which means that there may be locust plagues in spring and summer, which is even more worrying.

Under such circumstances, grain prices began to soar, and even the grain-producing areas of Kanto and Guanzhong soared to a thousand dollars.

The emperor thought that this wave of inflation was due to the excessive issuance of big money, so with a wave of his hand, he abolished a large cloth that could be exchanged for thousands of dollars.

Fifth Lun only can't complain, last year to the edge of the county to send a send, with this thing, you say scrap scrap, many counties haven't even had time to receive the news, the money in their hands has become scrap copper, take it out and even break the law, where to shout injustice? There are few people who hold big cloth and yellow thousands, but the officials are not allowed to refuse to use it, and this leek is cut to the heads of the officials again.

By the way, Wuwei Si ordered another gust of wind in the sixth lieutenant and sixth team to arrest a group of thieves and act as official slaves and maids.

However, unlike the past four currency reforms, this time Wang Mang did not mint new coins, but abolished all the miscellaneous and strange currencies, leaving only two kinds of goods cloth and goods springs, two products in parallel, the goods money diameter one inch, weighing five baht, one straight one, and the Han Dynasty five baht money is no different, so it changed the name inscription.

"Isn't this going back?"

Fifth Lun shook his head, he knew that this was the case, and he had tossed repeatedly for more than ten years.

Zhang Zhan said again: "The good news is that since Bo Yu said that Zhan Dehou succeeded you as a border general, and he has always advocated Hu Huairou, it probably means that the war against the Xiongnu will really stop." ”

In this year's situation, the country really cannot afford the huge expenses of a long-term war against the Xiongnu. But the main reason is that in just one year, the rise of domestic thieves has reached a level that cannot be ignored.

"When Boyu went north, although there were many thieves in the world, they did not exceed the situation in the later years of Han Wu; Small groups of hundreds of people looted and looted in the township, and the number was incalculable, so that the roads were cut off. The large group numbered in the thousands, and they were bold enough to attack the cities, seize the weapons of the treasury, release the prisoners who had been convicted of capital crimes, capture and insult the county governors, lieutenants, and ministers, and kill officials of 600 stones. ”

At that time, Wang Mang didn't take these robbers seriously, and only sent embroidered messengers to hold the emperor's talismans and urge the counties to suppress them.

As a result, after a year, the blessing of natural disasters and man-made disasters has been removed, the thieves have been exterminated more and more, the weak of the people have died on the road, and the strong have become thieves.

Zhang Zhan told Wulun that although there are many robbers in the world, they are especially prosperous in Jingyang and Qingxu.

"Yangzhou has a Huiji melon Tianyi, a Lujiang thief Kou Wangzhougong, and the two of them have more than 10,000 people, who have moved to the north and south of the river to communicate with each other."

"Jingzhou has Nanjun Zhang Ba, Jiangxia sheep herding, all of them are ten thousand people, the most powerful is the green forest thief, it is said that there are many thieves up to twenty or thirty thousand, it has reached the extent of occupying the county, and the county can not be controlled."

The county soldiers are like that, maybe the soldiers learned that Yulu had become a light piece of scrap copper, so they were angry and followed the thief, where could the rebel army be suppressed, so Wang Mang changed the national military system.

"Give the state pastor the title of the general, the county commander like me, the company commander, and the big Yin as the partial general, the general of the commander, and the county commander as the captain."

"He also ordered Jingzhou Mu Feixing and Yangzhou Mu Ma Yu to coordinate all counties and work together to suppress the thieves."

Fifth Lun was stunned: "Ma Zhonglei became a Yangzhou pastor?" ”

Ma Yu is Ma Yuan's brother, he helped him when the fifth Lun was taken away by the Si Ming Mansion, in the case of Ma Yuan promised to propose, the two families are going to become relatives, if according to the rules of later generations, the fifth Lun has to call Ma Yu a "uncle".

Unexpectedly, Ma Yu, who commanded the first part of the Northern Army, was transferred to Yangzhou by Wang Mang. Although the state pastor evolved from the history of the Han Dynasty, the power of Zhilu is far more than that, and his status is better than that of the three dukes, and now he is given the title of general, holding the military power of a state - theoretically.

This means that the Maoling Ma clan has gone one step further in the new dynasty and is among the top families, and the marriage of the fifth Lun is really "Gao Pan", but it also makes Ma Yu far away, I just hope that Uncle Ma will not be suppressed by the rebels in turn.

As for Jingzhou, there is also a former Grand Sima Si Yun Feixing as the state pastor.

Zhang Zhan said again: "Jingyang thieves are only elbows and armpits, but Qingxu thieves have a tendency to erode. ”

"Lu Mu, who was the first to raise an incident, gathered a crowd on the island, erratic, as long as the time was favorable, she would go ashore to attack the officers and soldiers, and the county soldiers could not be controlled."

"The East China Sea has plundered Xu and Yan, and has repeatedly defeated the county soldiers."

"There is also Langya Fan Chong, who raised troops in Ju a few years ago and transferred to Mount Tai. Mount Tai since the time of Confucius, every season, is the place of hiding dirt and dirt, harsh government than the tiger, so knowing that Mount Tai has a tiger, and to the tiger mountain. Fan Chong has gathered tens of thousands of people, and the momentum is the largest, and he even led his troops to attack Juling County (Chengyang County)! ”

Jing Yang's rebel army also fought against the small county town, but the three thieves of Qingxu and Xu had all attacked the county town, although they were unsuccessful, but they obviously frightened the government, even if Wang Mang gave power to let Qing, Xu, and Yan Sanzhou Pastors take charge of the suppression, I am afraid it will be difficult to make it effective, and it has reached the extent that the non-central government cannot send troops to peace.

Talking about this, the fifth Lun of the recent domestic events has basically been made up, and he is more and more worried: "Wang Mang transferred me and Dou Rong back, could it be that he asked us to suppress the rebel army?" ”

Let the slow fight against the thief, this is something that the fifth Lun does not want to do, but now he can only pretend to be loyal to deal with it, and only plan in his heart: "If this is the case, I must implore, if it is not the fifth song, it can't be peaceful!" ”

Troubled times are getting closer and closer...... No, this is troubled times! Any official position and title are empty, and having soldiers in hand is the most important.

It's not early, Wu Lun knew that Zhang Zhan still had official business to do, and before leaving, he only mentioned that he saw a man on the road demolishing Ganquan Palace.

Zhang Zhan sighed when he said this, and told Wu Lun a shocking event.

"Last month, there was a person named 'Zhiyun' in Runan, who was well-known in the state and county, and was hired as a senior brother of Taixue, and Zhiyun went west to Chang'an, but as soon as he came, he gave His Majesty a lesson."

Zhang Zhan lowered his voice: "Zhi Yun said that the Han Dynasty has a long history, the hole is red, and the Han family is not exhausted. In recent years, there have been frequent visions in the heavens, which are to make His Majesty awake and return to the position of a minister, so that he can turn misfortune into blessing. If it is taken from heaven, it should be returned to heaven to know the destiny of heaven. If you don't plan early, you are not exempt from stealing the position. ”

Zhi Yun is calling the soul of the dead previous dynasty, thinking that the Han family will be ordered again, and suggests that Wang Mang simply follow Yao Shun and quickly return the throne to the surname Liu, so that the chaos in the world can be solved!

After experiencing Lu Fang's incident, Wu Lun was not surprised by the behavior of calling the soul of the big man, Taixue was really talented, and only asked: "What happened to Zhi Yun then?" ”

Zhang Zhan said: "He was arrested by Wuwei Si and sent to prison, but His Majesty didn't let people kill him, and told the government and the opposition that Zhi Yun was crazy and a madman." ”

But what does this matter have to do with the demolition of Ganquan Palace?

It turned out that after Wang Mang was stimulated by this incident, he listened to the remarks of some hopeful people, and saw that there were many thieves in the Quartet, and the fight against the Huns and Jumachi was not smooth, so he felt that there was a problem with feng shui. So he wrote a book, and decided to divide a hundred hectares of land in the south of Chang'an City, the south of Jinshui, and the west of Mingtang, and to officially build nine temples for the ancestors that had been delayed for a long time.

But the government was empty, the people were scarce, and there was no way to transport giant trees from Zhongnan Mountain Shu, so Wang Mang, a little genius, slapped his head and had a plan!

Why bother to go far, beams and pillars and giant trees, around Chang'an, there are no them!

So he hit the idea to the palace of the previous dynasty, what Jianzhang Palace, Chengguang, Baoyang, Dog Tai, Chuyuan Palace and Pingle, Danglu, Yanglu Pavilion, where more than ten places. Chang'an is close to the left, and the gorgeous palaces built by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the past have all been demolished, and even the Ganquan Palace has suffered.

Isn't it beautiful to break the four old dynasties and save a lot of money, food and manpower?

However, the fifth Lun secretly complained: "Wang Mang's nine temples are made of Han Dynasty beams and pillars, which is really inexplicable, this new dynasty is not the complete inheritance of the framework of the previous dynasty, and it will be finished with a new layer of paint, don't you know, along with the silverfish in the wood, it is strange to be immortal." ”

Although, the first three temples of Wang Mang's nine temples, what "Yellow Emperor Taichu Ancestral Temple", "Emperor Yu Ancestor Zhao Temple", "Chen Hu Wang Tong Ancestor Mu Temple", are also the ancestors of the fifth clan.

After saying a few words, Wu Lun could hear the deep tiredness in Zhang Zhan's language, this county lord Yin who was only dependent on his orders two years ago and boasted of being loyal and good, was quite disheartened today, and he couldn't help complaining about this new dynasty and politics, but it was suitable to stop, and he didn't say anything too excessive.

Fifth Lun remembered Zhang Zhan's attitude, since he wanted to use the lieutenant as his base camp in the future, then Zhang Zhan, the county Yin, would not be able to get around, and he only hoped that in the future, he would not have to be the master.

When saying goodbye, Zhang Zhan only instructed Wu Lun: "Now that the crown prince is abolished, the national teacher has lost power, and the situation is unclear." And the old decay is not pleasing to His Majesty, no one in the court can help Boyu, when you enter the palace in a few days, you have to be careful when you speak! ”

……

The fifth Lun left Changling, only entered Linqu Township, and was warmly welcomed by the entire clan, headed by the fifth tyrant, standing on the ox cart, seeing the fifth Lun's team from a distance, laughed.

"It's the general of my family who is back!"

The fifth tyrant was naturally happy, not only because his grandson returned safely from the expedition, but also because he was made an uncle and became a general, which undoubtedly raised the fifth clan's rank a lot.

The fifth Lun didn't have time to hug the eldest father with tears, but he first saw the two maidservants beside him holding two pink-carved children, who were only a few months old, and the fifth tyrant took it, one on the left and one on the left and one side.

Fifth Lun teased them: "Father, whose child is this......"

The fifth tyrant was triumphant: "These are your two uncles." ”

Fifth Lun's smile froze on his face, thanks to the fact that when he was in Xinqinzhong, he was always worried about the fifth tyrant's health, but I didn't expect that the old man could still have a baby in his seventies, and the two of them!

Looking at the eyebrows, nose and eyes, they were exactly the same as the fifth tyrant, and the fifth Lun smiled again, hugged the two uncles and kissed them.

The fifth tyrant seemed to be telling the fifth Lun in this special way: "If you want to do big things, don't worry, Lao Tzu's body is fine!" ”

And the other people in the clan are in awe of the Fifth Lun, with the Fifth Lun Jiaguan entering the knighthood, the Fifth Clan has become one of the top heroes in Liewei County, second only to Qiong Chenghou and Xiao Xianghou, and the power is even better, after all, he can still enter the palace in a few days.

The first Liu had already died, and the first pass also went to Xiao, and the first one came to visit, followed by the eighth Jiao, the sixth calf, etc., and finally the fourth Xian, and he was busy reporting to the fifth Lun the results of the caravan he had sent to the east and south.

Because Wu Lun didn't know history, he was more concerned about intelligence, and he couldn't rely on him to measure it alone, so he used his own caravan, and by the way, he inquired about people named "Liu Xiu" in various places, after all, he was sure that Liu Xin was not the "son of the plane".

As a result, Wu Lun was disappointed, not because he didn't find it, but because he found too many. Wang Mang's single-name system has led to frequent people with the same name in this world, such as Jingdan's son and his relatives colliding names, the rebellious Wang Kuang in Lulin Mountain, actually has the same name as the Taishi of the New Dynasty, and Wang Mang's concubine is also called Wang Kuang......

But the fifth Lun listened to the fourth Xianyu report, and it had been a year, and his caravan only reached the right team (Hongnong) to the south, and only passed the Zhao team (Hedong) to the east, and arrived at the rear team (Hanoi......

Wait, how do you feel like you are visiting the production team next door, the fifth Lun skimmed off this strange thought, and blamed the fourth salt: "The money and grain of the righteous warehouse are used by you, why is the progress so slow?" ”

"Sect Master, there's really no way."

The fourth Xiantu complained: "A total of three caravans were dispatched, but when they arrived in other counties, they were frequently robbed, and when the other party had few people, they could still be repelled by their apprentices. But thieves are like hemp, even in the sixth team, there are hundreds of people, stealing pedestrians. ”

"One team was lucky enough to arrive in Hanoi and return; went to Hongnong's team, lost the goods, money, and clothes, and could only come back begging for food all the way; The worst thing is that the team that went to Taiyuan was killed by bandits on the way, and there was no one left, and there was no news directly......"

Leaving the county was so miserable, the fifth Lun was shocked, and the fourth Xian cried with a sad face: "Sect Master, unless dozens or hundreds of people gather together to march with soldiers, no one will dare to leave the county again." No one could have imagined that in just a few years, this world would be like this! ”
