Chapter 113: Bad Sanyang County

(Recommended reading: Shanyang County, there are high mountains in the north, Daze in the south, the terrain is excellent, in the Western Han Dynasty, here is part of the fiefdom of the famous 'Liang Xiao Wang' Liu Wu, Liu Wu is the younger brother of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the uncle of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the head of the princes and kings, and has the great merit of pacifying the 'Seven Kings' Rebellion', it can be said that it is unparalleled, his fief is more than 300 miles longitudinal and horizontal, all of which are anointed in the location, rich in products, large population, and extremely rich!

However, this is not the most famous place, the reason why Sanyo-gun is known to the world is because of a mountain!

In the position of the southeast corner of Shanyang County, there is a mountain, the mountain is steep and steep, because it is close to Daze, so there are often big pythons infested, so it is named 'Python Mountain', and later people feel that the word 'python' is not very auspicious, so it was changed to 'Mangdang Mountain!' ’

More than 400 years ago, there was a pavilion chief in Pei County to escort the laborers to build the mausoleum of the first emperor in Lishan, but most of the laborers fled here, and the pavilion chief who could not communicate gritted his teeth and was ruthless, and simply ran into Mangdang Mountain to rebel, and also called himself 'Pei Gong';

That's right, it is Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty who created the foundation of the Han Dynasty, and Shanyang County is the place where he started and fought, and it is also the starting point of the 400 years of the Han Dynasty, and the political significance is very important!

With such an experience and a place with excellent politics, the people's lives should be good, so that the position of Taishou will not be too difficult to sit, at least Xiao Yi is looking forward to it!

It's a pity that the ideal is very plump, but the reality is no longer skinny, it's just a skeleton!

After a lot of hardships, when Xiao Yi led the team to Shanyang County, he was stunned by the scene he saw!

The collapsed city walls, the silted moats, the barren fields, and the yellow-skinned, lifeless people, this is the Shanyang county town that Xiao Yi saw, if it wasn't for the guide's insistence on not taking the wrong road, Xiao Yi would definitely think that he had come to the wrong place, this broken place, not so much the county town, but the chief rudder of the beggar gang, there is really no worst, only worse!

"Subordinate Shanyang County Master Book-Qin Yu see Lord Taishou!" A young man in tattered clothes and a sad face led several petty officials with cold snot to greet Xiao Yi's arrival in front of the same tattered city gate.

There were no welcoming crowds, no large slogans, no receptions, no receptions, ......, in short, nothing!

"You're the master of Sanyang County!"

"It's the villain!"

"Why did you come to greet you? Where is the county? Xiao Yi asked with some doubts, Jun Cheng is the deputy of Tai Shou and a high-ranking official appointed by the state, now that the new Tai Shou has taken office, it stands to reason that Jun Cheng should come out to greet him, but there is no trace of him, is he going to give himself a dismissal?

"Go back to my lord, there is no county here!" Qin Yu bowed his head slightly!

"What about the Lieutenant of Shanyang?" The county lieutenant is the highest military governor in the local area, and he is also appointed by the imperial court, and is theoretically the right-hand man of the Taishou!

"Back to my lord, no!" Qin Yu bent his waist down.

"What about the county-county orders? Nor did it! "Xiao Yi has a black line on his face, without him, he is going to draw his sword and kill people, is it possible that he is a bare-bones commander?

"This one has!" Qin Yu embarrassedly pointed to the few officials behind him who were snotty and said, "They are!" ”

"Five prefectural orders? How many counties are there in Sanyo-gun? ”

"If you go back to your lordship, according to the Han system, Shanyang County has twenty-three counties under its jurisdiction!"

"Twenty-three counties, only five county orders!" Xiao Yi's body shook, and he almost fell off the horse, can he still be too happy to be too guarded, he doesn't need to ask to know, the eighteen that are missing, there must be none!

Xiao Yi was disappointed, the main book Qin Yu was more disappointed than him, Shanyang County has been difficult and eventful in recent years, recently, the 'General of Zhengdong' Cao Daren pacified the Yellow Turban Liukou in one fell swoop, and began to rectify the place, he has been looking forward to sending a shrewd and capable Taishou Lord to come, such as Xun Yu, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu Those celebrities are a good choice, but I have been looking forward to it, I didn't expect that a young man came in the end, it seems that he is at most about eighteen years old, in the political circles, this is definitely a milky baby who has not dried up, can he govern Shanyang County?

I don't believe in ghosts!

Qin Yu, the main bookkeeper, suddenly felt that the future of Shanyang County was dark, and God would not help the people on this side!

"Let's go, let's go to the city!" Xiao Yi let the brigade be stationed outside the city, and he led a team of personal soldiers to the city, this will be his territory in the future, it is necessary to familiarize himself with it first!

The area of Shanyang County is not small, the circumference is more than ten miles, it can be seen that this was also a rich county before, but now, the houses are collapsing everywhere, the streets are dirty, and the common people see that the new Taishou Lord is coming, and they have rushed up, but they are not here to greet and cheer, but desperately sell their last bit of property - children!

"Good business, buy a few and go back to be slaves, be obedient and obedient!"

"Three breads for a little baby, wow, buy two get one free, adult......"

"Ten dough cakes for a yellow flower girl, it's absolutely appropriate to buy it back to warm **......"

"Sons and daughters, how difficult it is for the people!" Qin Yu, the chief bookkeeper who was in charge of leading the way, did not drive away those people, but hoped that Xiao Yi would help, "My lord, let's buy a few, it can be regarded as giving them a way to live!" ”

"General Ben never buys people, they are people, not livestock!" Xiao Yi has always been known for his iron-blooded ruthlessness, but looking at these yellow-faced and thin-skinned people, as well as those children and women with straw sticks on their heads, "Thief God, what kind of world!" ”

"Come, distribute all your food to the people!" Xiao Yi gave an order, and the personal soldiers and guards behind him took out bread, dried meat and other food from their arms, although the food and grass in the army were also very scarce, but by hunting all the way, the Xuanjia army would not starve!

"Thank you, sir! ……”

"Mercy on you! ……”

The people wailed and knelt down, and it was their biggest dream to be able to eat a full meal, and this 'dream man' is now Xiao Yi!

As a county guard, I have the responsibility and obligation to feed the people under my rule, otherwise I will be ashamed of the sky!

"Master Qin, Shanyang County is located in the three states, and it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, rich in products, it should be a first-class rich land, why is it so dilapidated now?"

"Back to my lord, it's hard to say?" Qin Yu, the chief bookkeeper, made a wail, pointed to the ruined city wall and said, "Shanyang County is the key to the three states, but it is also a place where soldiers must fight, since the first year of Emperor Ling-Zhongping, the Yellow Turban Thief Incident, here is the military and the disaster, the thief army and the official army have repeatedly tug-of-war here, the county city has been broken by the thieves three times, the three Taishou and the county have all died in the military disaster, so scared that no one dares to take office anymore!"

As the so-called bandits are like grates, soldiers are like shaving, the yellow turban thieves are naturally burning, killing and looting, the official army is even more intensified, conscription, grain requisition, endless, the people still have a way to live, in just seven or eight years, the originally rich Shanyang County has become like this! ”

Xiao Yi nodded, expressing his understanding, in fact, it is not only Shanyang County, but the entire Han world is like this, over the years, the Yellow Turban Army, the official army, the Xiliang Army, the princes and the coalition army, killing and killing, conquest and conquest, that is really 'fighting for the city, killing the city, fighting for the land, killing the wilderness! ’

Some time ago, when he was drunk, Cao Cao recited a poem "Artemisia Lixing", which touched him deeply:

There are righteous people in the Kanto region, and they raise troops to fight against the murderers.

In the early days, the alliance was in Jin, and the heart was in Xianyang.

The forces of the army were uneven, and they hesitated and walked wildly. Snobbery makes people fight, and heirs fight each other.

The title of Huainan brother is engraved in the north. The armor is full of lice, and all surnames die.

The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. The people are left behind, and the thought breaks people's intestines.

At that time, Cao Cao wrote a poem, picked up the wine jug and poured it violently, and finally got drunk like mud, and the people sitting at the banquet, Wenchen complained and wept, and the generals were silent.

"Why didn't you run away?" Xiao Yi glanced at Qin Yu, who had a haggard face, and now finally knew why he was aging before he was old, and he was heartbroken!

"I am appointed by the Han Dynasty as the chief secretary of Yanzhou-Shanyang County, as a Han minister, my duty is only to be loyal!" Although he still had a sad face, Qin Yu tried his best to straighten his waist this time, as a courtier of the Han Dynasty, he was very proud!

"Excellent! You are a loyal servant of the Han family! Xiao Yi nodded approvingly, but unfortunately, there are few such loyal ministers, and now there are more careerists, warlords, traitors, and heroes on the land of China......

"Let's go, go back to camp!" Xiao Yi didn't stay in the Taishou Mansion, although it was definitely more comfortable than the cold military tent, Gentle Township, Hero's Tomb, now is not the time to enjoy!

That night, Xiao Yi set up a banquet in his big tent and entertained the chief bookkeeper Qin Yu and the five poor county commanders who had no power but no power, no matter what their ability was, they could not abandon under such difficult conditions, which showed that their character and ethics were good!

Such talents, credible and available!

"There are a total of 23 counties in Shanyang County, and when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was in power, there were more than 274,300 households and more than 1.35 million people, which was a first-class county, and now? There are only more than 30,000 households left, with a population of less than 150,000, Cao Gong, you really sent me a good errand! "Closing the household registration book, Xiao Yi is also a big head for a while, the 100,000 refugees he brought need to be resettled, and the hundreds of thousands of people here also need disaster relief and relief, but he has no money or food in his hands, so he can't let them drink cold water!

"Shanyang Twenty-three Counties, what is the situation now? How many can still obey orders? ”

"Lord Hui, now the twenty-three counties are basically independent, and there is no one who obeys the order!" Qin Yu was desperately fighting with a piece of venison, eating a mouth full of oil, he hadn't had a full meal for some days, but he didn't expect to be able to eat meat today, based on this, his good impression of Xiao Yi skyrocketed!

"Who are these people in these places now?"

"Lord Hui, now most of the places in Shanyang are controlled by the big clans, these people are the head snakes of the hegemonic side, they organize their own troops and horses, build fortresses, do not obey the dispatch of the government at all, and even expel officials, assassinate tax officials sent by the imperial court, and even build their own official positions, as if they are small vassal states!

There is also near Mangdang Mountain, where the terrain is complex, easy to hide, and now it has become a paradise for thieves, they occupy the mountain as the king, loot everywhere, and even several counties around are now occupied by them, it is said that there are several more powerful thieves, and they also proclaim themselves kings in the mountains, build the palace, canonize a hundred officials, and be arrogant! ”

"Displaced people, miscellaneous taxes, military disasters, large households, thieves!" Xiao Yizhi wrote down on a blank piece of paper the five major problems that plagued Shanyang County, all kinds of messy, people's livelihood withered, where should I start?

"Let's start by killing people!"
