In this way, Liu Rong finally knew why there was a great drought in Hedong, and none of the officials of Shentu Gong or even the whole county of Hedong went to the court to explain the matter.

The officials of the entire Hedong County must have been rotten.

The upper and lower hands first concealed the disaster and did not report it, and then raised the price of corn, forcing the people in Hedong to sell their land at a low price in order to buy some corn to satisfy their hunger.

These officials are strong and strong, not only making a lot of money by reselling corn, but also being able to buy the people's fields at a low price, which is simply a feast for the officials of the entire Hedong.

At this moment, in Liu Rong's heart, the entire officials of Hedong have been sentenced to death, but Liu Rong is not the Son of Heaven and has no right to dispose of the officials, otherwise he will order at this moment to kill all the officials in Hedong!

Then Liu Rong suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to this Ma Shangyan with a cold face: "You live in the camp for the time being, and when His Royal Highness finds out about this matter, he will definitely make the decision for you!" ”。

Hearing this, Ma Shang was busy kneeling and kowtowing, "Your Highness Xie!" The villain thanks His Highness for his kindness! ”。

Afterwards, Liu Rong ordered an attendant to lead the horse and the man out of the tent.

He had no good impression of Liu Rong, the official of Hedong, but he had no pity for Liu Rong, the powerful man of Hedong.

Since the beginning of the pre-Qin Dynasty, all dynasties have been heavy on agriculture and suppressed business, but the Han family established the country to make the world settle, and the Han family has always followed the technique of Huang Lao, and the policy of ruling by doing nothing.

Because the imperial court never intervened too much, in the past few decades, industry and commerce have sprung up all over the territory of the Han family, and have been able to develop rapidly.

However, in this pre-century era, there were no commercial regulations to regulate the behavior of merchants.

For example, the home of Zhuo Wenjun, Sima Xiangru's wife, is a world-famous wealthy.

It is contained in the Hanshu Colony Chronicles, "The Zhuo clan in Shu, that is, the iron mountain drum casting, strategizing, pouring the people of Yunnan and Shu, and being rich to thousands of people." The joy of hunting in the field pond is intended for the king of the people".

That is to say, Zhuo's is the richest man in Shu by mining and quarrying and smelting iron. Sitting on thousands of slaves, comparable to a king.

On the way to Hedong, almost all of the hungry people in Hedong that Liu Rong saw were blue with hungry faces, while some of the powerful and wealthy families were driving in cars, wantonly on the road, wild and uninhibited.

In the past few days in Fenyin County, Liu Rong has not been idle, and he drove with Jia Yi in Fenyin for two days, and Fenyin County is indeed a good place.

There are not only good fields, but also several copper coins, sticky money, and salt ponds.

Liu Rong saw with his own eyes that the hungry people were already very unbearable, and they were scrambling to go to the mines to do hard labor, just to get one meal a day.

The hard labor in the salt pond was even more cruel because of soaking in the salt pond for many years and drying salt.

Later, Liu Rong even ordered someone to inquire clearly, although the salt pond and copper and iron ore were the assets of a large family surnamed Fenyin on the surface, most of the money they obtained flowed into the hands of Zhou Kaifang, the Marquis of Fenyin, and other officials.

Dou Guangguo, who is now the marquis of ten thousand households, was sent by his master to burn charcoal in the mountains back then, and almost died in the charcoal-burning shack.

Seeing such a situation, how could Liu Rong not be angry, how could he not have a good impression of these places.

In his heart, when he was in power, he would definitely formulate the labor laws of the Han family and kill all these heroes who exploited the people!

And for Ma Shang's words, Liu Rong can't fully believe them. When the Hedong officials and Haoqiang acted together to oppress the people, a rich family with thousands of acres of land could be left alone, and no one could trust it......

However, the rest of the words are verified by the master and father, and they are still credible.

And because Tang Sheng didn't come to report for a long time, Liu Rong was not in a hurry to report the matter of Hedong to his father.

And then there are also the angels of the Son of Heaven who are in charge of the festival, where is Liu Rong's turn to report first.

However, Liu Rong did not play, but some people were already in a hurry to speak to the Son of Heaven, and Zhou Kaifang, the Marquis of Fenyin, had been restless all day long since he heard Zhou Yangyou's words that day, but he was afraid that the Son of Heaven would issue an edict and take away the title of Marquis of Fenyin.

Zhou Kaifang naturally knew that the Son of Heaven did not want to see him at all, but in order to keep the head and title of the Venerable, he took the plunge and asked Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, to participate in the Hedong Taishou Shen Tu Gong's recital.

As soon as this performance was sparse, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, was also surprised that Zhou Kaifang actually wrote a book to participate in the performance of Shen Tugong.

After thinking about it, I only felt that there was something strange about this matter, and even if he issued an edict, he sent this recital to Anyi Zhidu.

Zhidu was already worried about someone reporting the Aragaki County Order and the Fenyin County Order, but he didn't want to do it for a day, so His Majesty sent Zhou Kaifang, the Marquis of Fenyin, to report the performance of Hedong Taishou Shentu Gong............

However, after carefully reading the recital of Zhou Kaifang, Zhidu found some clues, which reported that Zhou Kai dialect in the recital of Shen Tu Gong said that Shen Tu Gong had been guarding the Taishou in Hedong for several years, and he had set up a blatant private collection of taxes to fill his pockets.

However, in the letter reporting the two county orders, it was said that Hedong Taishou was guilty because he could not open a warehouse to help the victims of Hedong, and when the crimes of the two county orders were displayed, he was fiercely praised for Tu Gong.

In this way, Zhi Du held this completely different report in both hands, and Zhi Du smiled, and somewhat understood why this was so.

Zhi Du, as a court lieutenant, is ranked in Jiuqing, and is responsible for prison, of course, he knows the affairs of most of the high-ranking officials of the Han family.

Zhou Kaifang has some understanding, he has always been a timid and afraid of things, since that year when His Majesty ascended the throne to the court, he offended the Son of Heaven and was kicked back to seal the country. I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will be exempted from the title of Marquis of Fenyin, and in the past few years, except for the birthday and New Year of the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother, he has never dared to meddle in the affairs of the court.

Now he suddenly became angry, and he wanted to report the Taishou of a county in Hedong, which was naturally too abnormal, and it must have been someone who pushed him behind his back, or he was forced to dare to do so.

And these two letters, one is to scold Shen Tu Gong, and the other is to praise it, at a glance, you can know that this anonymous report Xu Teng and the Aragaki County Order, and praise Shen Tu Gong, must be a person from the Hedong Shen Tu Gong line.

And Zhidu also knew that Zhou Yangyou, the governor of Hedong, and Shen Tu Gong had already reached the point where water and fire were incompatible, maybe Zhou Kaifang's report on Shen Tu Gong was obtained by Zhou Yangyou Lian Meng's intimidation.

Yang Wu, the chief of Hedong, never thought that the words he wrote on the report letter in order to pat Shen Tugong's ass made Zhi Du see such a big clue.

Then Zhidu began to thoroughly investigate the background of the officials of the entire Hedong County, and sure enough, Xu Teng, the commander of Fenyin County, and the commander of Xinyuan County, both of whom were recommended by Zhou Yang and were appointed by the Son of Heaven as the county commander.

This strengthened Zhidu's thoughts, and he hadn't found out any clues, but the two major factions in Hedong fought first.

Thinking of this in this way, Zhi Du couldn't sit still anymore, and even if he asked people to prepare a car, he went to the place where Liu Rong was stationed in Fenyin.

……………………………………………………………………

Ran Zhidu had just arrived at Liu Rong's place in Fenyin, and before he could say a few words, he listened to the attendant's urgent report, "Your Highness, General Tang has returned, and he is waiting outside the palace at this moment!" ”。

Since sending Tang Sheng to find the Houhou Earth Temple, Liu Rong has been worried about this matter all day long, so at this time, the longer he waits, the longer he waits, the more eager he is.

The soldiers and attendants who had already ordered the camp to report immediately whenever there was news about Tang Sheng.

Solid for this, when Liu Rong and Zhidu were talking, this attendant dared to report it.

Hearing this, even if Liu Rongdang got up, he couldn't care about Zhidu on the side anymore and immediately ran out, but he said to Zhidu: "Zhiqing's matter, I'll talk about it later, come with me to see Tang Sheng."

As soon as he came out of the big tent, Liu Rong saw Tang Sheng standing on one side with a proud face, and as soon as Tang Sheng saw Liu Rong come out, he bowed his hand and said: "The minister lived up to His Highness's trust, and after many searches along the Fenshui, the minister finally found the earth temple after His Highness said."

Liu Rong said excitedly: "Okay, Tang Qing's work, I keep it in mind!" ”。

Immediately, Liu Rong ordered someone to inform Jia Yi and asked him to go to the Houtu Temple next to the Fenshui together.

Since Liu Rong sent Tang Sheng to find the Houhou Earth Temple, Jia Yi was a little puzzled, and he didn't know what Liu Rong was going to do.

At this time, Liu Rong wanted to go to the beginning of the Houtian Temple with him, which made Jia Yi even more puzzled, "His Royal Highness ordered his ministers to go to the Houtian Temple together, I don't know what it means?" ”。

And Liu Rong smiled and said: "The teacher will know by then!" ”。

Looking at Liu Rong's determined expression, Jia Yi didn't say anything more.

And Zhidu, who was a little annoyed and even more reluctant to go, was also dragged by Liu Rong into the car, and under the leadership of Tang Shengzhi, he went straight to the temple of the day after tomorrow.

This time, Liu Rong is planning to give himself another self-hype, but this hype is much more clever than Wang Huan's day in his arms.

Therefore, it is even more necessary for the ministers of the imperial court to participate in this "hype" in order to exert a greater effect.

On the way, Tang Sheng said to Liu Rongyan: "Your Highness, the Houtu Temple is really hard to find, the minister has traveled to several villages next to Fenshui, but no one knows where there is a Houtu Temple that existed in the pre-Qin period.

In the end, it took the guidance of an old man to find the Houtian Temple at the entrance of a river valley."

Hearing this, Liu Rong nodded but asked again: "When you go to the village, have you ever seen someone distributing food to the hungry people who have been affected by the disaster?"

"Your Royal Highness, the minister did see that there was a little official of Fenyin who distributed grain to the hungry people, and the minister also learned from the old man that the grain obtained should be able to last until next year's spring ploughing."

Of course, Liu Rong is very clear, this official of Hedong can do this for himself and his father Liu Qi and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, if he had the heart to help the victims, he had reported to the Son of Heaven at the beginning of the drought, and the people of Hedong would not have lived so hard............

Such people should be killed!!

After doing this for a long time, everyone arrived at the earth temple behind Tang Sheng's mouth.

From a distance, you can see that the temple is already dilapidated, and half of it has collapsed, if there is a strong wind one day, the other half will also collapse............

Liu Rong also did not expect that the Houtu temple would be so dilapidated, Houtu is the earliest earth god in the Chinese gods worshipped, when Liu Rong's grandfather Xiaowen Emperor Liu Heng, when he inspected the east of the river, he would fine the Fen River into the Yellow River at the Gaofu, that is, the place where the Fenyin Ju sacrificed to the Houtu............
