Zhou Yu listened very seriously, although he didn't think that he would be able to govern one day, but these truths were common in many ways, Zhou Yu thought in his heart that when he governed the army in the future, he would also spend some time chatting with those lowest-level soldiers and investigating the situation, not just listening to the advice of the generals under his command and remembering the decision, Yuan Shu took him and Huaxiong through the country roads.

Sili area, can be said to be the most prosperous area of the Han Dynasty, here, even in this kind of country road, there is no shortage of carriages and horses, correspondingly, because of the large number of household registration, the number of people coming and going is also a lot, so even Yuan Shu such a strange face, did not arouse the suspicion of others, if it was in other areas, at this time, there were already pavilion guards to question them.

However, even so, they patrolled here back and forth, which still aroused the suspicion of the local pavilion chief, he brought people to check on the three of Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu is dressed as a celebrity, and Zhou Yu on the side is also a student's dress, it seems that it is a celebrity who travels with his disciples, and Huaxiong behind him is naturally dressed as a slave, and they have long been ready to deal with the inspection of the inspection.

After learning their identities, the pavilion chief did not embarrass them anymore, but said with a smile: "Although there are no green mountains and green waters here, there are also different scenery from other places... However, you must remember that there is no post station here, only in the county town, if you stay here for too long and encounter a curfew, you will be arrested...", Yuan Shu nodded, don't look at this pavilion chief and tell them with a smile.

If later, if there is really a curfew, there is nowhere to go, and the first to catch them is this pavilion chief!!

Zhou Yu on the side said helplessly: "I don't know what advice you have, my master's legs and feet are inconvenient, and I don't know these things, I'm just afraid that before dark, we won't be able to get to the county....", the pavilion chief was stunned for a moment, and looked at Yuan Shu's legs, Yuan Shu's face was a little displeased, but he didn't say anything, the pavilion chief knew that he was rude, and quickly shifted his gaze and said: "If you don't dislike it, you can rest with us in the pavilion for a day!" ”

Zhou Yu hurriedly thanked him, the pavilion chief waved his hand, and pointed out the direction of the pavilion to them, so that they could continue to visit, Yuan Shu took the two of them, walked in the countryside, and occasionally met the old farmers who worked here, Yuan Shu asked Zhou Yu to stop him and ask about something, these people are also very kind, in the face of Zhou Yu's inquiry, they also answered seriously, Zhou Yu did not ask them too many things, just asked about farming and the like.

From the simple agricultural work, it can already be seen how the officials here are governed.

In this pavilion, almost every farmer will happily say that this is the place where the Son of Heaven has been rewarded, and it is also the most endowed pavilion in the entire Sili area, everyone's life is extremely rich, listening to their words, Hua Xiong and Zhou Yu are extremely happy, after listening, they also gave some money, some did not accept, and some thanked and then took, just like that, they walked all over this pavilion.

"Shijun, it seems that Zhongmu's county order is really powerful, and the people here are doing very well..."Zhou Yu said with a smile.

Yuan Shu squinted, shook his head, and said, "That's not right. ”

"Huh?"

Hua Xiong's eyes widened and he said, "Captain, this is not right?" These farmers are doing better than I am! Could it be that you want the people to live the life of the three princes, then it is powerful? ? ”

Yuan Shu looked into the distance, frowned and said, "Have you ever seen those ploughing cattle..."

"Ploughing cattle? See, there are a lot of cattle here! Fat and strong! ”

"Yes, there are too many ploughing cattle, just a small pavilion, there are so many ploughing cattle, each fat and strong, not half injured, disabled, thin, when the people answer, it is also a board and a glance, this road is still so clean, there are so many ploughing cattle, there is no cow dung, hehe, have you ever seen that family, there is not even a cowshed at home, and he led two cows back to the yard!"

"Also, how could the people who worked in the land be dressed so neatly and cleanly???

Yuan Shu asked repeatedly, Zhou Yu and Hua Xiong suddenly realized, Zhou Yu said: "Didn't someone know the news of our coming, so they made these arrangements?" ”

Yuan Shu sneered and said, "I'll know later..."

Knowing these things, Zhou Yu and Hua Xiong did not have the idea of continuing to watch, and directly followed Yuan Shu to the pavilion, which is also the resting place of the pavilion chief and the pavilion guards, these pavilion guards, sure enough, are also wearing good clothes, seeing Yuan Shu and others, extremely courteous, unlike the rest of the region, they are smiling faces, if before, Zhou Yu and Hua Xiong would have thought that the people here are simple, but now, they only have the anger of being deceived in their hearts.

The pavilion chief cleaned up a good room for them, they could rest here, after he said, Yuan Shu did not let him go, pulled him, and entered the house, the pavilion chief followed him into the house a little dazed, several people sat down separately, Yuan Shu suddenly said: "The order of the county order, you have implemented it well, continue to do it, after three or four days, you can return to the original state!" ”

Hearing his words, the pavilion elder was shocked, and hurriedly got up and bowed: "I don't know the identity of the king, and I hope to forgive my sins... Those borrowed cattle, should I send them back myself, or will the county send someone? ”

"I'm afraid I'll have to send it back by yourself..."Yuan Shu said with a smile.

The pavilion chief nodded.

The next day, Yuan Shu took Zhou Yu and Hua Xiong, and went straight to the Zhongmu County Ya, Zhou Yu and Hua Xiong were extremely angry, before coming to the county Ya, several people rushed inside, the soldiers guarding the door hurriedly stretched out their hands to intercept, Hua Xiong was furious, and pounced directly, with his bare hands, knocked the two soldiers to the ground, beat them unconscious, and rushed into the county Yali, and the officials in the county Yali were frightened when they saw such a situation.

Shouting that there is a thief, he wants to rush out of the county office, Hua Xiong rushed up like a tiger and wolf, grabbed one and beat one by one, the officials in the county government fled in all directions, Zhou Yu looked a little impatient, but he didn't dare to be as ruthless as Hua Xiong, Hua Xiong was the captain of Si Li, let alone beating the officials of Si Li County, even if he ordered to kill them, it was nothing, but Zhou Yu couldn't act like this.

Yuan Shu glanced at him and said with some displeasure: "Didn't you see that Captain Sili was being besieged by cool officials?" Go and save him! ”

Zhou Yu was overjoyed and rushed forward.

When the county magistrate came out of the study, the officials of the entire county fell to the ground, some covered their heads and cried bitterly, and some were unconscious, and Yuan Shu sat in front of the case, looking at the various decrees above, and sure enough, as Yuan Shu thought, the policy here is very clearly written, in order to deal with the private visit of the lieutenant of Sili, the entire Zhongmu County borrowed 400 cattle from Kaifeng County and 300 cattle from Yangwu County....

It is important for everyone to know how to respond to inquiries from strangers.

Officials must be kind to outsiders and not rude.

The county order here actually lists dozens of regulations to present a false prosperity for Yuan Shu, the more Yuan Shu looks, the more angry he becomes, in addition, judging from these letters, this matter is not just a Zhongmu County, and it may even be the entire Henan Yin is suspected of it, Henan Yin Zhi is Luoyang!! Under the feet of the world, how dare you do such a deceitful thing???

Seeing that Yuan Shu was staring at these letters, the county magistrate seemed to have noticed something, his legs were weak, and he almost fell to the ground, Hua Xiong stepped forward in a few steps, grabbed this person's neck, and lifted him up, the person was pinched by Hua Xiong's neck, his whole face quickly turned blue, his eyes were round, and his legs kept kicking, Hua Xiong then slammed him to the ground and asked, "These are what Henan Yin asked you to do?!! ”

"Captain spare your life! Forgive the sins! This is all an order given by Zhang Gong, I dare not carry it out! The county commander shouted in horror.

"How did you know I was going on a trip?"

"I don't know... I know that it was an order issued by Gong Zhang, and we should carry it out in this way..."

"Hehe, what a guts... Even the townspeople have fornication with you... You have deliberately exaggerated the grain production of the land... Raising tax rates... Private achievements? Yuan Shu sneered, he held up a letter and asked: "Could it be that you don't know that with this exaggeration, how many poor people have to pay taxes, and they themselves don't know that their families are so rich."

The county commander had tears in his eyes and kept begging for mercy, asking Yuan Shu to forgive his sins.

When Yuan Shu entered his study with him, he found out the real reason, the county order took out a few letters, the letters were issued by Henan Yin, they had an affair with the local township, deliberately overreported the local output, let the people pay more taxes, and fabricated political achievements, in addition, these guys actually took advantage of the ignorance of the people to put some people whose output was lower than the tax standard into the tax list.

And the taxes they pay go into the pockets of these fools. 、

Seeing this, Yuan Shuqi's whole body trembled, he pointed to the county order on the ground, gritted his teeth, and asked with some trembling: "How dare you act like this?" How dare you do this, this is Henan Yin, Luoyang is a hundred miles away, and the Son of Heaven is sitting there!! How dare you do that!! He took a deep breath, looked at Hua Xiong on the side, and said, "Quickly gather the officials and apprentices of the Central Capital under your command!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Shu hurriedly shook his head again and said, "No, you can't call them!" ”

He looked at Zhou Yu on the side and said, "Gong Jin!! You quickly go to the camp of Jinwu, go to Lu Bu, and ask him to divide his troops to surround Henan Yin Mansion, Luoyang Ling Mansion, and even many county towns under the jurisdiction of Henan Yin, the county government must be controlled, not let one escape, and let them command the county government guards!! If there is a resistant, shoot and kill!! ”

"Without the edict, how could General Lu obey me??"

"You let him go on the orders of Captain Si Li, and tell him that this matter is extremely important, and if something goes wrong, he can't afford to !!."
