Chapter 262: Where Did All the Food Go

……………………………………

Liu Ji was left in the small courtyard of the compound of the Fourth Division, and continued to accept visits from all walks of life in Jizhou, and now the roads in Jizhou are smooth, and the ground is also peaceful, so in addition to Yecheng, powerful people from other counties will also rush over one after another. It's just that there are a lot fewer Yanyun guards escorting the princess here, and if anyone dares to count the heads, there are probably about a hundred people left.

Liu Hanshao took the Yanyun Guards Regiment north to Handan, Zhao State, and then turned west to Wu'an, where he made an appointment to inspect. Prior to this, Wen Ping had already started to arrange, Zhao had Zhang Xiu Chen Bing Su Ren Pavilion in the north, Wei County in the south had Zhang Jaw Chen Bing Wushi, and he himself stopped at Handan in the east.

According to Liu Hanshao's words, we are here to appease people, not to scare people, you bring all the soldiers and horses, are Zhang Yan still willing to go down the mountain to let my brother inspect? Therefore, Wen Ping can only scatter all the people and follow them from afar.

Originally, Liu Hanshao wanted to reorganize the Black Mountain Army into the Han Zheng Army, but an incident happened on the way that made Liu Hanshao suddenly change his mind.

Previously, the person sent by Zhang Yan to Handan to meet Liu Hanshao was his son Zhang Fang, but Zhang Fang was only a teenager, what did he say to greet him? It's obviously a proton that was sent. But there were two people who came with Zhang Fang, one named Du Chang and the other named Wang Dang, and according to Guo Jia's return, this Wang Dang was already a Sohu person.

Liu Hanshao was very interested in chatting with Du Chang and Wang Dang, fully showing his easy-going and friendly side, but when asked why they wanted to be bandits, Du Chang and Wang Dang, who were finally not nervous, suddenly fell silent.

On the way from Handan to Wu'an, Du Chang suddenly pointed to a deep ditch not far from the roadside for Liu Hanshao to see. Because it is already winter, the weeds in the deep ditch have long been withered and yellow, revealing a lot of white bones, and even standing on the side of the road, occasionally you can smell a little fishy smell in the wind. However, to Liu Hanshao's shock, there were many skulls among those white bones, and those skulls were all small, not as big as a grapefruit, and they were obviously some babies or children.

What's going on?

Has there been a tragedy of changing children and eating them?

Or are there bandits doing evil?

Liu Hanshao grabbed Du Chang angrily and questioned him viciously, but Du Chang said that this was the reason why he became a bandit. But Dian Wei beside him was a little surprised and said: "The children born by the poor people can't afford to raise them, so they have to throw them away, and it's the same in our hometown." ”

After listening to Dian Wei's words, Liu Hanshao almost fell into a deep ditch, and then knelt on the side of the road, refusing to leave for a long time.

Without advanced medical technology, the survival rate of giving birth to children was low, but these children were finally born alive, but they were discarded just because they could not afford to raise them, starved to death, frozen to death, and eaten by wild animals. And, according to Dian Wei, it seems to have long been a matter of course.

Liu Hanshao has never been far away a few times, thinking that the people of the world are like Luoyang, even if there are some displaced people and disaster victims, after resettlement, they can also divide the land and farm, work hard, as long as they survive the initial hard days, they can slowly eat and dress warmly, and do not worry about food and clothing. But in front of him, the small skulls scattered among the deep ditches and barren grass, like awls, pierced Liu Hanshao's heart one by one.

Jizhou, this is Jizhou!

In addition to Luoyang, it can be said that Yuzhou is the cultural center of the Han Dynasty, and Jizhou is the economic center of the Han Dynasty, with money, grain, and rich people! In the past life and later life, the scumbag didn't remember where he had seen such a thing, saying that Jizhou in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was the richest place in the Han Dynasty, even if he brought a million, the food was enough to eat for ten years!

But now...... What about the grain, where does the grain go?

In fact, the grain has always been there, some time ago, in order to provide disaster relief and relief, when vigorously transporting grain to the three auxiliaries, the Aiqing of the Prime Minister also said that Jizhou has a lot of grain, and people should be ordered to take grain from Jizhou. However, the actual situation is that the grain transported from Jizhou is not even as much as the grain bought from Jing and Yang, and whether those people are afraid of causing disasters or hoarding goods, they refuse to sell the grain or give money. Liu Dai just went to Jizhou, the foundation is unstable, even if Wen Ping came forward, it was just to give a little "face" and fool around, and Wen Ping and Liu Dai did not dare to persecute too much, after all, we are buying food, not grabbing food, we have to pay attention to a voluntary principle.

Not to mention that Liu Dai and Wenpin can't handle it, even if it's Liu Hanshao, they can't force those people too hard. Not long after Jizhou arrived, there was no benevolence and grace, and it had to rely on the support of others.

We're emperors, not yellow turbans, right?

Therefore, although Liu Hanshao has long been dissatisfied with the affairs of Jizhou, he did not want to be too impatient to show the guy and go under the knife. But in front of him, these small skulls made Liu Han rarely have the urge to cut people with a knife.

However, who to cut, this is a question!

It stands to reason that if you have money and food, land and a house, you should be considered rich, and vice versa, you will be poor, but "rich" cannot be absolutely equal to "bad", and "poor" cannot be absolutely equal to "good". If it weren't for the brain disease, those who want to live a good life, who doesn't want to live a richer and more beautiful life? Is it true that everyone is bent on the path of "bad guys"?

For example, the current Minister of Finance, Cui Lie, once spent money to "buy the tube", was despised by everyone, and even his own son looked down on him, and even Fu Xie said, "If you cut this old thing, the world will live in peace", maybe it can be labeled as a bad person. But now? The money spent is much more than the money spent on "buying and selling", as long as Liu Han puts his arm around his shoulder, people will go home and figure out a way by themselves, can they still say that they are bad people?

Co-authoring to be rich is wrong, no matter how you spend it, is it possible that rich people have accidentally become vulnerable groups? What the hell is this!

Some people have money and build bridges and pave roads; Some people are rich and domineering, but some people are rich, and they neither build bridges and pave roads, nor are they overbearing, but they would rather let the grain go moldy than sell it!

Liu Hanshao calmed down from the edge of the storm, and gradually fell into confusion, and then sent someone to return to Yecheng quickly, so that Liu Ji would stop being a mascot, and in the name of the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty offering love to the royal home for the elderly, the weak and the disabled, to purchase grain from the entire Jizhou, and at the same time, let Guo Jia send Sohu people to secretly pay attention to the results of grain collection in Jizhou.

…………

After arriving in Wu'an, Liu Hanshao did not stay, but walked to the foot of Drum Mountain, which is the mountain pass in the east of Fukou in the Taihang Eight Mountains, and the "big road" in the mountains can go all the way to the west of Shangdang.

There was a large tent in the open space, which was not actually a tent, but at most a pergola, surrounded by no curtains, transparent inside and out. There are seats under the tent, and there is a case at the top.

Zhang Yan took a dozen people to stand next to the big tent, greeting Liu Hanshao, of course, it was impossible to carry a sword and blade with him, but not far behind them, there were people leading a dozen horses.

Foul language, is this what it means to slip away without saying a word?

Liu Hanshao asked the Yanyun Guards Regiment to stop outside Lixu, led by Yan Dawa, and he only took Guo Jia, Yang Xiu, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Yan Siwa, counting Zhang Fang, Du Chang, and Wang Dang, who came with him, and didn't get together enough ten people. Yan Siwa wanted to check the big tent first, but was stopped by Liu Hanshao, and rode her horse very domineeringly, turned over and dismounted, and hugged Zhang Yan who was walking towards her.

"Humble greetings to Your Majesty!"

"Get up, get up, it's cold on the ground, everyone get up quickly."

Zhang Yan is about 30 years old, tall, burly, with a beard on her face, looking "rough and bold, uninhibited and freedom-loving". It's just that Zhang Yan's expression at this time is really a little sorry for his beard, not only respectful and cautious, but also seems to be a little restrained and shy.

Also.

At the beginning, I didn't dare to make up my mind, went to Luoyang, and casually said that I wanted the emperor to inspect Jizhou and take a look, which was basically tantamount to a word of shirk, who would have thought that the emperor was really coming! In my own words, on a cold day, the emperor will not be far away for hundreds of miles? After getting the news, Zhang Yan couldn't sleep for many days, and until this time he still couldn't believe that the emperor in front of him was the Han Dynasty.

This also depends on Liu Hanshao, who has neither a guard of honor nor a crown uniform, so he wears a set of military uniforms of the Han Zhengjun, and there are no epaulettes and collar badges, if it weren't for Du Chang and Wang Dang to guide the way, Guo Jia accompanied him on the side, Zhang Yan didn't know that he was a big official or a small official. If this is a game of hide and seek, and drill into the team of the Yanyun Guards Regiment, others will not be able to find it if they are exhausted.

Liu Hanshao was originally self-acquainted, people are crazy, and the emperor is getting longer and longer, others always say that the world is his, so he will not be polite to others anymore. The situation in front of him was the same, I saw him pull Zhang Yan up, turn around and walk towards the pergola without curtains on all sides, as if that thing was built by him, and asked kindly as he walked: "Yan'er, is it cold in the mountains?" ”

Zhang Yan's head is black, why does the emperor want to pee so much when he shouts "Yan'er"? So, Liu Hanshao's identity was suspected again. Is the one who is pulling himself really the Emperor of the Han Dynasty? But if there was doubt, he didn't dare to ask, so he was embarrassed and enthusiastically echoed: "It's okay, it's okay......"

I only heard Liu Hanshao ask again: "The people in the mountains, have they all had food and clothing for the winter?" ”

Zhang Yan really wants to scold people, foul words, if we even have food and clothing for the winter, will we run into the mountains to be bandits?

Unable to hear Zhang Yan's answer, Liu Hanshao suddenly stopped and turned to look. Anyway, there were two strings of people walking with their heads bowed, and they didn't know what they were thinking, and they almost hit Liu Hanshao and Zhang Yan's butts. Looking at Zhang Yan with a complicated expression, and then at the two strings of people who hit the ass behind him, Liu Hanshao sighed and said: "The people are difficult, and they have no food and clothing, and it is my brother's responsibility. It's my brother who is not good enough to make the people suffer! ”
