The winter of the nineteenth year of the Han Dynasty passed, and in the spring of the twentieth year of the Han Dynasty, Lu Bu returned to the court, and now it is Zhang Liao who is in charge of the clouds, as Chen Mo expected, in the twenty years of the Han Dynasty, there was a great drought in Guanzhong, fortunately, the imperial court had already prepared, and a large amount of grain was transported to Guanzhong as early as the beginning of the year, so that Guanzhong did not starve to death because of this drought, but after all, something happened.

The grain and grass that Chen Mo transported to Guanzhong was enough for the people in Guanzhong to survive this drought year, and there was even a surplus, but the fact is that according to the investigation after the fact, even half of the grain and grass that really fell into the hands of the people was not enough.

When the disaster relief, Chen Mo did not do anything, everything was stable, but the anger was not suppressed, and when the spring of the twenty-first year of the Han Dynasty, Guanzhong had basically stabilized, the matter of disaster relief food began to brew among the people in Guanzhong, and many people whose families were starved to death had to hear that the grain and grassland allocated by the imperial court was enough for the people of Guanzhong to eat, but in the end it was less than half or more, and no one dared to directly resist the local officials, but public opinion was intensifying.

Even the Chang'an Imperial Court suffered an unwarranted disaster, after all, when Chen Mo was in Guanzhong, when he was poor and white, he could take the people of Guanzhong to spend the drought year, such as today is too peaceful, and the treasury has surplus grain, but so many people starved to death, although the court did nothing here, but after all, you are the emperor, and you are here, who are you looking for?

Liu Neng is also very bitter, he also wants to take care of things, but he can't manage it.

However, the people obviously don't care so much, Liu Nengben has no sense of existence, but this time he has a full sense of existence, and he is scolded by the people.

In April, after the disaster relief had passed, Chen Mo quickly ordered a thorough investigation. Up to Taishou? Under the county order, who has touched the relief grain? Regardless of the reason? Punishment according to the law.

Originally, most people thought? Chen Mo will be as usual in the past, for the sake of stability? Turn a blind eye to the past? After all, in this matter, everyone took a little bit of it, and they didn't cross the line, but no one knew? Is this boundary set by Chen Mo? In the past, the world was in turmoil, and the rear needed stability, so Chen Mo would choose the method of maintaining stability, and this time, it was time to liquidate.

As for instability? The hearts of the people have been lost, and the people will not protect them? Who will make trouble with you, there are more than 30,000 people waiting for vacancies in Tai Academy now? The so-called non-accountability of the law does not apply to the present at all.

In fact, most of the Taishou and county orders in Guanzhong are also the first batch of Taixue disciples who were sent to this position by Chen Mo back then? But twenty years have passed? How many people can not forget their original intentions when they hold the power of a place?

Chen Mo never overestimated the greed of human nature? So before deciding to investigate this matter thoroughly, he had made sufficient preparations, and in fact there was no difference from what Chen Mo expected, after this investigation, thousands of officials in Guanzhong fell to the ground, and none of the Taishou in the land of Sanfu and Xiliang were spared, and almost everyone in the county order, county cheng, and county lieutenant from all over the country participated, and was taken down by Chen Mo with a thunderbolt, and everywhere he went, the first thing to do was to announce the crime, and then arrest people, investigate, and raid the family, and the property obtained was used to compensate the families of the victims, and if there was a surplus, it would be filled into the government treasury.

In the huge pass, 800 miles of fertile soil in Qinchuan, in the end, there were only three county officials who survived this liquidation, plus some county officials were only 30 people, and the speed of filling the officials was also staggering, the new officials all arrived with the raid team, and the previous officials fell to the ground, followed by the new officials and immediately took office.

This action makes many people chill, although Chen Mo has always been criticized by the princes for his background and usurpation, but internally, he has always been quite benevolent and righteous, this is the first time, Chen Mo showed a ruthless side to the officials under his rule, and the speed of replacing the old and the new has also taught many people a lesson, after decades of training, the lack of officials in the court has long been in the past, not to mention the top talents, at least the talents who govern in this place, the court is not lacking.

Chen Mo has established the Three Schools for decades, proving to the world for the first time what is the greatest significance of its existence.

And Chen Mo also took advantage of this opportunity to punish the Ming Dynasty, the court is enough, if someone is corrupt and perverts the law, the more than 1,000 heads in this pass and the more than 1,000 families that suddenly declined are role models.

With Chen Mo's new policy, the scholars have become a thing of the past, and Chen Mo has successfully disintegrated the scholars from the inside by imitating the system made by Tui Enling, and it is difficult for the scholars to compete with the imperial court.

Of course, there is yang and yin in everything in the world, and when the old magnates decline, there will naturally be new magnates rising, but at least for now, under Chen Mo's blow, there is no soil for parties like scholars and relatives who can coerce the imperial power in the past.

And Chen Mo also took advantage of the incident in Guanzhong, while deterring hundreds of officials, he began to establish a new system in a big way, the former Skynet began to be gradually known, and the system of mutual supervision of hundreds of officials began to be established, and at the same time, military power was independent of the regime, only subject to Chen Mo's control, and local officials, regardless of their rank, had no right to contaminate military power.

No matter what this official said about Chen Mo in private, but among the people, with this large-scale killing of officials, Chen Mo's reputation among the people has become higher and higher.

After all, this kind of thing is a bit very happy for the people, regardless of whether the former officials persecuted themselves, but it is just a relief.

In the twenty-second year of the Han Dynasty, the Huns requested the annex for the eighth time, and the Huns Shan Yu came to Luoyang in person, and after submitting the table, he did not leave in Luoyang, and Chen Mo did not forcibly drive people out, but the attached things still need to be plotted slowly, how to be attached, how to place, customs and habits are all issues that need to be considered, not accepted by the imperial court, that means that the Huns are attached, Chen Mo wants not just a form, but to really turn these people into Han people.

In August, Chen Mo issued an edict to open the border passes, allowing the Saiwaihu people to trade with the Han people, and at the same time allowing the border troops stationed in Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Xiliang to expand outward, as long as the tribes that were willing to plant the banner of the Ming King were considered Han people, and of course, these tribes also needed to pay taxes to the Han people.

However, how to govern the grassland, Chen Mo couldn't think of a feasible way for a while, but after the border was opened, wars broke out frequently in Youzhou and Bingzhou in the second half of the year.

"Your Majesty, do you want to go back into retreat?" Luoyang, in the lobby of the palace, a minister frowned and said: "Border wars are frequent, and the people in the border areas cannot live in peace." ”

"Look again." Chen Mo shook his head, when Lu Bu was transferred out of the state before, he didn't see these people start a war, but now the border ban is opened, allowing the Hu people to trade back and forth at the border gates, but it has made the Xianbei tribes and the Karasuma people do it, it must be this move that touches the interests of these people, although he doesn't like war, but Chen Mo knows that this is a good thing.

"This battle should be fought, the war in the world is nothing more than interests, this time the Hu people come to fight, there will be personal pain, and first understand this, and then talk about whether to fight or not!" Chen Mo said with a smile: "Summoning the generals of the border passes, those who are willing to come to trade are welcome, but if you think that I am easy to bully, then I can't bear it, whoever moves, kill whom, although the grassland is not my Han land, but the rules have to be set by me!" ”

"Wait for the order!" All the generals agreed in unison and left.

With Chen Mo's order, after the border generals had the attitude of the imperial court, the attitude was naturally different, in September, Zhao Yun went north out of the White Wolf Mountain, and once again bloodied the thirty-seven tribes of Karasuma, who had just recovered his breath, and fled north after being killed again.

In October, Taishi Ci's soldiers went out to revenge the water, and the Xianbei tribes fled, Zhang Liao led his troops across the Yin Mountain, personally beheaded the heads of the three Xianbei adults, and forced the six Xianbei tribes to join the collective.

At this point, the grassland was a lot calmer, until this time, Chen Mo knew the reason, after the Han Dynasty opened the border ban, a large number of people flocked to the Han realm, some of them were indeed merchants, but more of them wanted to settle in the Yunzhong area, the population on the grassland was already scarce, even if it was as strong as sandalwood in the past, traversing the east and west, and even established the Xianbei court, but in fact, the grassland population was less than 10 million, not to mention that now under the threat of Chen Mo, many of the most fertile grasslands in the grassland have now become arable land for the Han people, and the departments are naturally unwilling, Coupled with Lu Bu's transfer, Zhao Yun and Tai Shi Ci were old, only this time they were tempted, who knew that as soon as they tried, they were beaten by the border army and fled, and their vitality was even more damaged.

So far, Xianbei, Karasuma and other grassland tribes have been quiet for five years, the Xiongnu began to move south on a large scale after getting Chen Mo's permission, and the land of Hetao has also become where the military households are, many border soldiers began to settle here, and some directly married Hu women, these five years, is a transitional period of the integration of the grassland and the Han people, there are small frictions, but not much, and the Hu people do not dare to make things bigger.

Until the sixth year, in the twenty-seventh year of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Liao died of illness, so that the Hu people saw hope, and the tribes led by Kebineng gathered the major tribes, gathered 130,000 soldiers and horses, and the war between Hu and Han began again.

But this year, the imperial court did not send another general, but promoted Chen Zheng as the general of the expedition to the north, presiding over the war, although it was the first time to take charge of the army, but Chen Zheng since the time of Lu Bu followed Lu Bu to fight in the north and south, and later followed Zhang Liao, there were enough people in the army, and this time the two sides of the war, Chen Zheng also showed his military talent to the world for the first time, led the army to fight Hu Cai, did not lose an inch of land, and personally led the elite raid on the Kebineng camp, cut off the head of Kebineng, beheaded more than 10,000, repelled Hu Cai, and also fought with this, established Chen Zheng's identity as a young and famous general.

This year, Chen Zheng was thirty-five years old, which is not young, but his ability was widely recognized for the first time.

In the twenty-eighth year of the first year, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici each resigned, and the two Haoshou veterans returned to the court, Chen Mo personally brought hundreds of officials to greet them, played the court, knighted the two of them, and lived for a long time.
