The Han Emperor was also a business-minded person, but his business acumen intensified the pace of officials exploiting the people, even if the officials paid enough money, they would definitely loot the people and make up for the lost money.

Not only officials, but ordinary people have to pay ten yuan per acre of land.

The exploitation of officials, the people were overwhelmed, and the Yellow Turbans, which were silent for a while, rose again, but these news could not reach the ears of Emperor Luoyang for the time being.

Twenty or thirty million yuan is relatively difficult for officials, a county is too guarded, the rank is 2,000 stones, a year, in fact, there are less than 1,500 stones, converted into money to calculate, there are about 160,000 yuan, 20 million yuan, it takes more than a hundred years to get it.

This is the Han family wants to persecute the officials of the counties, for the strength of the family, the Han Emperor does not know, and the magistrates of the counties, most of them are from the family, these people of the family, but they control a lot of money, and money is just a number for them more often.

"Sir, Zhongde, the imperial envoy has arrived in Wei County, and will come to Handan in a few days." Zhao Yun frowned slightly and said, 20 million money, Zhao Yun will naturally not lack it, the key is that such a move by the imperial court makes him feel like he is digging his own grave.

After the officials paid the money, the first thing they wanted to do was to scavenge money from the hands of the people to make up for the losses, and the people themselves had to bear the taxes and pay the money, so that the people would not be cornered.

In desperation, the people can only join the Yellow Turbans or the likes of thieves, not because they want to, but because they need to survive.

Tian Feng gritted his teeth and said: "It must be eunuchs and the like, offering slander on the side of the saint, otherwise how could it be." ”

Zhao Yun shook his head secretly, the saint is greater than the sky, even if there is a mistake, there are still ten permanent servants and the like on the side, as a courtier, he must not be able to talk about the emperor in private, in fact, these people don't understand that such a thing is from the emperor's hands.

"Sir, now that the Qiang people in Liangzhou are in trouble, the imperial court has issued an order to let the cavalry general Huangfu Song lead the army to quell the rebellion in Liangzhou, and this official will go with the army." Zhao Yundao.

Tian Feng said: "Liangzhou is the county of the Great Han Dynasty, and it must not be given up, that Situ Cui Lie is full of copper smell, and he actually claimed in front of the Holy Lord that giving up Liangzhou can make the frontier stable, which is really ridiculous." ”

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Sir's words are very true. ”

Cheng Yu said: "Taishou, what if the envoy comes?" ”

Before following Zhao Yun, Cheng Yu was just a small official, but as he learned more and more news, the more helpless he became about the situation in front of him.

"When the angel comes, it's not too late to talk about it." Zhao Yundao.

Three days later, the angel arrived, this time to Zhao County is the Yellow Gate Zuofeng, Huangmen Zuo Feng is a great figure, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the commander of the Han army in Jizhou, is because of Zuo Feng and went to prison, but all the officials who see Zuo Feng, are all careful, this is the spokesman of the Son of Heaven, if they offend Zuo Feng, their current official position will definitely not be guaranteed.

After all, it was an angel who arrived, and Zhao Yun led important officials in the county out of the city to greet him.

The convoy seems to be mighty, showing the royal prestige, no matter how bad the current situation of the Han family is, this world is still the Liu family.

"Zhao Jun Taishou Zhao Yun and the county officials greet the angel." Zhao Yun saluted.

"Zhao Taishou doesn't need to be so polite." Zuo Feng's face was pale, and his voice was sharper than that of ordinary eunuchs.

Seeing that Zuo Feng was about to come forward to help, Zhao Yun hurriedly got up, as if once Zuo Feng encountered it, there would be many problems.

"Zhao Taishou is a fierce general of the country, and when the saint is in Luoyang, he often uses Zhao Taishou's courage to spur the generals in the army." Zuo Feng said with a smile.

"Don't dare, the ministers are loyal to the country, but it is a matter of duty." Zhao Yun arched his hand and said, "Angel, please." ”

Zuo Feng nodded, when he went to other counties, Zuo Feng was basically cold-faced, but when he came to Zhao County, he didn't do so, because Zhao County Taishou and Zhao Zhong seemed to have a certain involvement, as the Yellow Gate, who can be provoked and who can't be provoked, he still has a clear judgment.

After taking his seat, Zuo Feng did not come with the holy decree, this is on behalf of the Son of Heaven to come to ask for money, if it is with the holy decree, wouldn't it be even more ridiculous.

Zuo Feng is an angel, and the county officials have stepped forward to salute, and then chatted with Zuo Feng, as for Tian Feng, it is unpretentious.

Seeing this, Zuo Feng looked angry, "I don't know who this is?" ”

"This official Tian Feng, and now Zhao Jun Juncheng, what advice does the angel have?" Tian Feng came out of the column and said in a deep voice, seeing the eunuchs and the like, Tian Feng had a feeling of enthusiasm, it was these people who instigated in front of the emperor and blinded the saints, which made the world of the Han family turbulent.

Zuo Feng was slightly stunned, he had heard of Tian Feng's name, this was a person who stood resolutely opposite the eunuch, when Tian Feng resigned, many officials also celebrated with their crowns.

"It turned out to be Tian Juncheng." Zuo Feng nodded, there were no more words, if he talked to Tian Feng too much, maybe he would be scolded.

Zhao Yun sensed some clues from the change in the expressions of the two, and said with a smile: "Angel, the lower officials have ordered people to prepare money, the treasury is empty, and it is the time for officials from all over the country to contribute." ”

When Zuo Feng heard this, his face was full of smiles, when he went to other counties before, although the officials of these counties did not refuse, they were not as happy as Zhao Yun, and directly prepared the money.

When the officials in the field heard this, they didn't know what it was like, Zhao Jun was not short of money, otherwise how could he form a cavalry team of 3,000 people, the key was such a move by the imperial court, which made their hearts uneasy, dignified men, do they have to rely on this method to survive.

However, this kind of words must not be said in person, the Yellow Gate is nothing, the key is the person behind the Yellow Gate, as long as Zuo Feng goes back and says a few words, maybe the efforts of the first half of their lives will be in vain.

"Angel, come with the lower officials." Zhao Yundao.

With Tian Feng in the field, Zuo Feng himself has a lot of discomfort, such a character, if you argue with it, it will definitely be difficult to get a bargain, and Tian Feng also has a certain reputation in the officialdom of Luoyang, people don't even care about official positions, what are they afraid of.
