Chapter 18 The situation is grim
Gongsun Zhao was stunned by Liu Yu's bluff, and hurriedly bowed down and scolded those people who went out just now, these people are the people who listen to themselves the most on weekdays, and he got up and went out today at his own will, otherwise he wouldn't bother to help them intercede? It's good for now, the new Taishou is not afraid of him at all. Pen %fun %Ge www.biquge.info but the family is the son of the state pastor, and he wants to remove him from his post, and his grandson Zhao has no choice, so he has to break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
At this time, Tian Shao stood up and interceded: "Lord Fujun, don't be angry, those people were ignorant just now, and the adults have also removed their posts, so you can dissipate your anger." ”
Liu Yu pretended to be satisfied and nodded, this matter is like this, Liu Yu is trying to establish himself today, because Liu Yu needs to gain a foothold in Liaodong as soon as possible, and if he does not suppress the arrogance of the original officials, it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to act in Liaodong and give orders.
The next thing is to hand over the appointment documents of Taishou, as well as hand over the Taishou seal, the county's household registration money and grain book and some relevant county documents to Liu Yu, because the predecessor Taishouyang was finally killed by Zhang Chun, and the Taishou position has been empty for two years, so this handover is simply a look, and there is nothing substantial.
After Yang Zhong's death, most of the county government officials who were not killed by Zhang Chun resigned, and the real power of the county fell into the hands of Gongsun Zhao on weekdays, and all Liu Yu had to do was to obtain relevant documents and books from Gongsun Zhao and hand over the affairs of the county government.
After the handover, Liu Yu let everyone leave. If they don't let them eat again, it is estimated that this mansion will be lifted, Liu Yu's goal has been achieved, what he wants is to leave a deep image of these people, and now it seems that the effect is not bad.
After everyone left, Liu Yu sat on the ground, he was really tired, he had always been tired of dealing with these officials who were inconsistent with each other and had a black face, and after handing over all this, Liu Yu was like an amnesty.
Seeing that Zhong Miao and the others were still standing aside, Liu Yu rubbed his head and stood up from the ground, Zhong Yu asked: "If the lord is tired, take a rest first, I'll retreat first and come back in the evening." ”
Liu Yu shook his head and said, "No need, it's still important, Mr. Zhong please inform me of the situation in Liaodong." ”
When Liu Yu arrived in Xiangping yesterday, he was a little tired and sleepy because he had been in a hurry, and he did not let Zhong Yu and the others report the news they had found when they arrived in Liaodong first. After today's handover was completed, Liu Yu knew that he had to immediately understand the current situation in Liaodong, so that he could make a countermeasure.
Zhong Xuan nodded and said: "Lord Yu, you have also seen the current situation in Xiangping, since the predecessor Tai Shouyang was finally killed, the power has always fallen on the hands of that Gongsun Zhao. That Gongsun Zhao colluded with Tian Shao and others in this county on weekdays as friends, and has always acted domineeringly, oppressed the people, and wantonly collected money and food to expand his private pockets. ”
I have some understanding of Gongsun Zhao Liu Yu, Gongsun Zhao is a native of Liaodong, in history, Gongsun Zhao looked down on Gongsun Du's origin, so he recruited Gongsun Du's son Gongsun Kang as the commander, Gongsun Du was angry, and he was arrested and killed at the entrance of Xiangping City.
This Gongsun Zhao is not a good person, he was killed as a result of bullying Gongsun Du, so how can bullying me Liu Yu make you feel better, Liu Yu snorted at the moment: "Such a small night, if you listen to my orders, it will be fine, if he really dares to form a party for personal gain, and keep ordering, I am worried that I can't find a reason to clean him up?" ”
Zhong Xuan said: "The lord can't, then Gongsun Zhao colluded with Tian Shao and others in private to raise thousands of soldiers in the mansion, if we really force them to be anxious, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to get out." ”
Liu Yu laughed and said: "As far as the soldiers and families they raise, they are all sycophants who tend to be inflammatory, and they really don't have any real martial arts, just to mix up and eat with them, show off their martial arts and make a fortune." Mr. Zhong, did you remember that I had secretly asked you to bring 2,000 elite soldiers before, plus we have two fierce generals here, Dian Wei and Zhang Liao, why fear them? If they dare to use the government soldiers, it will give us a chance to get rid of them. ”
Zhong Xuan was relieved, it turned out that the lord had repeatedly instructed him to bring 2,000 soldiers and horses into Xiangping, but no one could know about it, could it be said that it was for today? Does the lord have the power of an uncertain prophet?
Yan Rou on the side echoed: "The lord is really a god, I'm afraid that Gongsun Zhao has been kept in the dark." That Gongsun Zhao is a villain, and getting rid of it can be regarded as a benefit to the people. ”
Next, Zhong Xuan continued to report the situation and said: "In addition to this Gongsun Zhao, there are also thieves in Liaodong County who are too large, the lord does not know, the bandits here are not only many gangs, extremely widely distributed, and the strength is not bad, even Wuxi, Wangping, Wenxian and other counties have all been occupied by the bandits, after the money and grain in the county were looted, the bandits actually killed the county officials, occupied the county government, and enslaved the people, and now even Xiangping City can see thieves and bandits. ”
Liaodong County has eleven counties under its jurisdiction, namely Xiangping, Liao, Xinchang, Anshi, Pingguo, Yushi, Xi'anping, Fanhan, Wangping, Wuxian and other eleven counties Liu Yu did not expect that the bandits here were so strong that they occupied the land of the three counties, and it seems that the bandits in this county are enough for Liu Yu to have a headache.
Liu Yu asked: "Since the bandits have captured the county government, why didn't anyone send troops to conquer it, so what did Gongsun Zhao do?" ”
Yan Rou replied: "At first, we were also wondering about this question, but later we found out that Gongsun Zhao and the big clans in the county actually colluded with the thieves in private, and the thieves would send money and food to them every year. Gongsun Zhao only cares about filling his private pockets, those bandits gave him benefits, how could he send troops to recruit and suppress, he was forced to send troops under pressure before, but every time he returned the money and food in vain, and in the end fortunately he did not levy it, and let those bandits act recklessly. ”
Zhong Xuan echoed: "That's right, it is precisely because of the indulgence of Gongsun Zhao and others that the power of this group of bandits continues to grow, and now the largest group of bandits is estimated to have more than 10,000 troops stationed in Wangping County, and now it is not so easy to exterminate them." ”
Liu Yu said: "This bandit is not a problem, treating them is a word "suppression", as long as we have soldiers and generals, the bandits are just a rabble after all, and they can get a lot of money and food after being exterminated. On the contrary, those squires are the most difficult to solve, this rich gentry and rich family have no grace on weekdays, they are not the same, they are all clearly one set behind the other, and the small actions are done in secret, we have no handle, and there is no way to take them. ”
Zhong Xuan nodded and said: "The lord is right, after those thieves are exterminated, they can not only send money and food to the lord, but also improve the reputation of the lord, those gentry are indeed not so easy to solve, now we will start to solve the matter of the thieves first, and then come back to solve the big clan Haoqiang." ”
Liu Yu nodded and said, "That's all there is to it for now." ”
Suddenly thinking of a question, Liu Yu asked: "I don't know what kind of situation the Qianliang population in Liaodong County is?" ”
Yan Rou said: "According to the records of the county's population book, there were 64,158 households and 81,714 people in Liaodong County during the reign of Emperor Huan. ”
Before Yan Rou finished speaking, Liu Yu said with some surprise: "This is impossible, even if there are three people in each household, there will be more than these 80,000 people, not to mention that most households will have more than three people, is this a mistake." After speaking, he picked up the household registration book and checked it, and found that what Yan Rou said was actually the truth.
Yan Rou nodded helplessly and said, "Zhong Jun and I also feel that there are some problems with this statistic, but after all, this is a record of Emperor Huan's period, and some omissions are normal, but now I am afraid that the changes will be even greater." ”
Liu Yu had a headache, knowing that hukou was not a problem that could be solved at once, and said immediately: "What about money and food?" ”
Yan Rou glanced at Zhong Xuan, Zhong Xuan nodded, and Yan Rou said, "Lord, just look at this." ”
