Chapter 15 The years go by
Spring goes to autumn, three years have passed, and it is already five years of Zhongping.
Zang Hong's governance in Dangli was quite effective, and his reputation was getting higher and higher, Chen Mo heard that the imperial court had intended to transfer the teacher to Taishou, but the teacher seemed to be unhappy.
Chen Mo knew what Zang Hong was unhappy about, and the great man's qi was getting thinner and thinner day by day, and Chen Mo could now clearly perceive this, and the root cause of it was still on the gentry of the noble clan.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion three years ago, the gentry from all over the country took the opportunity to build dock forts to absorb displaced people, and these displaced people are no longer above the household registration of the Han Dynasty, that is to say, the population above the household registration is now very different from the real population of the Han Dynasty, and the taxes of the imperial court fall on the people in the household registration, the taxes are increasing year by year, and the people are miserable, but the imperial court is actually helpless.
Chen Mo thought about it carefully, if he was in the court, what should he do?
can only start with the gentry of the noble clan, but if these people are really moved, I am afraid that there will be smoke all over the place immediately, after three years of precipitation and study, today's Chen Mo is no longer the ignorant and ignorant teenager at the beginning, many problems can actually be seen clearly, but seeing clearly does not mean that it can be solved.
In Chen Mo's eyes, the gentry of the scholar clan have now begun to gradually become a cancer that destroys the foundation of the Han Dynasty, and the people are overwhelmed by heavy taxes.
The teacher is already a little disheartened, even if he is transferred to Taishou, I am afraid it will be difficult to perform, and there are constraints everywhere, and now he can only compromise with the local scholars for taxes alone.
What's even worse is that the authority of various places is too heavy in Chen Mo's opinion, and now even the county order can be appointed and dismissed, and most of these positions are held by local gentry.
You must know that before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the county orders were transferred by the imperial court, and the local government recommended filial piety to join the court as a lang, and then was transferred to serve as a county commander, and generally did not transfer to his hometown, for example, Zang Hong was a native of Guangling, and was transferred to Qingzhou, but now, the county order is directly elected locally and then directly appointed by the imperial court, which means that the imperial court's control over the local area is constantly declining.
What's next?
Chen Mo speculated a few times, but it was difficult for things to develop in a good direction.
The gentry of the moving clan will immediately smoke all over the place, but if it does not move, if it goes on like this, the Han family may be the next Zhou royal family, which will be hollowed out by the place, and then what will happen?
Set off the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period again?
Chen Mo, who was sitting by the river fishing, silently called out the system immortals.

In the past three years, Chen Mo has entered the dream training camp sixteen times, in addition to skills, more is to enter the dream battlefield, and the improvement is naturally great, but these abilities do not seem to solve the current problem, the problem of the Han today is by no means a person can be reversed, and he has no official status now, what qualifications do he have to care?
There was a sound of broken footsteps behind him, and Juan'er's voice sounded: "Childe, the head of the family called you back." β
"Got it." Chen Mo stretched and stood up.
Fourteen-year-old Chen Mo, seven feet long, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, although young, but dressed in a black robe, looking forward to the faint light, heroic and compelling, revealing a fierceness, like a powerful swordsman, but there is a kind of elegance that swordsmen do not have.
"Childe caught a lot of fish." Juan'er consciously stepped forward to help Chen Mo clean up the fish basket, and looked at the fish in the fish basket with an exclamation on her face.
"Pompous." Chen Mo nodded Juan'er's eyebrows, speaking of which Juan'er was two years older than him, but at this time, as Chen Mo grew taller, she really looked like a little girl standing next to Chen Mo.
Juan'er was not embarrassed when Chen Mo said it, but she just looked at Chen Mo carefully, and after seeing that he was not really angry, she stuck out her tongue and followed behind Chen Mo with a smile.
Looking at the back of her son-in-law, Juan'er thought of the way she suddenly came to ask about men and women three years ago, and the son at that time was really naΓ―ve, not at all as shrewd as he is now, as if he couldn't hide anything from his eyes.
"What do you want? The road is on this side! Chen Mo's slightly helpless voice came from the front.
Only then did Juan'er realize that she had unconsciously walked out of the trail and almost ran into the river, her pretty face was slightly red, and she kept up with Chen Mo with her head down.
Why does this servant girl feel more and more stupid?
Chen Mo looked at this delicate maid a little speechlessly, obviously she was quite sensible at the beginning, why has she been distracted lately?
"Childe, Tang Gongzi and Xue Gongzi came to visit today and sent a lot of congratulatory gifts." Juan'er trotted behind Chen Mo and let go.
Three months ago, Zang Hong recommended Chen Mo to the imperial court as a boy Lang, the reason is also very good, Chen Mo became a ten year old to help Quyang break the yellow turban thief, in the past three years, Chen Mo will often take the Dangli County guard to exterminate the nearby thieves, quite a meritorious service, coupled with Zang Hong's connections in the court, let Chen Mo go to Luoyang as a boy boy, that is the edict issued by the general himself, Tang Yuan and Xue Yu are naturally envious, and after a few days, Chen Mo is ready to set off.
"I'll send them these letters later." Chen Mo took out two envelopes from his arms and handed them to Juan'er with a smile.
"Childe, this is ......" Juan'er asked with some curiosity.
In fact, ordinary maids don't dare to talk to their masters like this, but Chen Mo is free and easy, informal, and loves her personal maid very much, so Juan'er dares to talk so much, which is not a good habit.
"The letter of thanks, and before parting, inviting them to a banquet, it is also considered to have taken care of them in the past four years." Chen Mo smiled: "Although these two will always do some nonsense, but this time they say goodbye, I don't know when they will be able to meet again, and I am a little reluctant in my heart." β
Thinking that Tang Yuan wanted to join the Yellow Turban Army, but he couldn't get off the house for a month after being beaten by his father, Chen Mo couldn't help but be a little funny, a group of people have done a lot of ridiculous things over the years, and now they want to separate, and they are really reluctant.
"Childe, let's go, won't we come back?" Juan'er asked in surprise.
"It should be, when the time comes, will you follow your teacher back to shoot the sun? Or come with me to Luoyang? Chen Mo nodded, and then looked at Juan'er with a smile.
"Naturally, it's Suigongzi." Juan'er almost blurted out, but then her pretty face turned red and said: "Juan'er is Childe's personal maidservant, where Childe goes, Juan'er will naturally go with Childe." β
"It's okay, Juan'er has been by my side all these years, if I change someone, maybe there will be discomfort." Chen Mo nodded and didn't look at Juan'er.
Juan'er pouted behind Chen Mo's back, but then she breathed a sigh of relief, and trotted to follow Chen Mo's side and continue to move forward.
