Chapter 12 Job Search Liaodong
Liu Yu had known the outcome of all this for a long time, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the position of Taiwei is ranked as the third duke, the real benefit is the title of the county marquis of Rongqiu, which means that the taxes of a county are included in Liu Yu's pocket, and the county marquis belonged to the highest level of knighthood at that time. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this tax was no longer in kind, but directly converted into silver. That is to say, regardless of whether the tax of your county can be raised by the central government, as long as you have a knighthood, the central government will still directly pay cash according to the standard of the county marquis.
With such a position, Liu Yu's reputation has been greatly enhanced since then, and he has become an excellent local governor supported by the people of all ethnic groups in Youzhou, and Liu Yu is also deeply proud of his father Liu Yu.
Since Liu Yu's suggestion this time, it has been so easy for Youzhou Mu Liu Yu to solve the crisis of Gongsun Zhan's siege, and at the same time, it has also temporarily alleviated the relationship between various parts of Youzhou and Wuhuan and other foreign races, which made Liu Yu's account look at Liu Yu with admiration.
Liu Yu knew that his opportunity had come at this time, and Liu Yu wanted to ask his father Liu Yu for a county and a county, and now was the best time.
Now that Zhang Chun's rebellion has basically been put down, Youzhou, which has been plagued by the Yellow Turban Rebellion and foreign invasions, urgently needs a period of peaceful development, and it should not be too difficult for Liu Yu to ask his father to manage the county.
It's just that Liu Yu doesn't know which county to re-elect as his first development place at the moment?
The Youzhou Thorn History Department was established in the fifth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Youzhou was under the jurisdiction of 11 counties and 90 counties.
From west to east, they are Dai County, Shanggu County, Zhuo County, Guangyang County, Yuyang County, Youbeiping County, Liaoxi County, Liaodong County, Xuansu County, and Lelang County. The governing county of Youzhou is Guangyang County, where Liu Yu is now located, and the governing place is Ji County.
During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Guangyang Yellow Turban killed Guo Xun, the assassin of Youzhou, and Liu Wei, the Taishou of Guangyang, and now Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju united with Wuhuan Qiu Liju to make a rebellion, invaded the state and county, and killed the guard of Wuhuan Captain Gong Qichou, Youbeiping Taishou Liu Zheng, Liaodong Taishou Yang Zhong and others.
The imperial court simply did not have the energy to take care of this remote Youzhou, so that even in the first year of Zhongping (184), after the killing of Liu Wei, the Taishou of Guangyang, his position was still vacant.
As for Liu Bei's hometown Zhuo County, although it is a very good place with a superior geographical location, the key is that it is the most populous county in Youzhou County. Now Zhuojun Taishou is a native of Qi County, Taiyuan, Liu Yu doesn't know much about this person, only knows that his son Wen Hui Wen Manji, who is a heavy minister of Cao Wei in history, served in Yangzhou Thorn History and Liangzhou Thorn History, and is a model of "Jingda Opportunity, Weien and En, so it can be Su Qi Wanli" in all the state Thorn History at that time.
Among the rest of the counties, Liu Yu established his vision on the place of Liaodong County, Liaodong County is located in Liaodong, facing the sea, and the Gongsun Du family has been divided here for decades in history, and the most important thing is that Gongsun Du has not served as Liaodong Taishou at this time, Liu Yu has the intention to change everything, and naturally can not let Gongsun Du divide Liaodong again.
And Liu Yu chose this place in Liaodong County for another purpose, that is, to restrict Gongsun Chan in the future, Liu Yu wanted to tell Liu Yu about Gongsun Chan, but he didn't know how to open his mouth for a while, at this time Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu have not yet had such an obvious contradiction erupted, and he said bad things about Gongsun Chan behind his back, I am afraid that he will be looked down upon, and it is not good to think that Liu Yu is a person who is suspicious of the minister, so he gave up this idea.
And Liu Yu also knew that Gongsun Chan would garrison Youbeiping County in the future, and Liaodong would be next to Liaoxi County to the east of Youbeiping County, and he would choose to be in Liaodong County. Moreover, Liaodong County is located in a remote area, even if Liu Yu does whatever he wants, it is difficult for others to take care of him for a while.
After having this idea, Liu Yu immediately found Zhong Yu to discuss, Zhong Yu had no objection to Liu Yu's decision, and Liu Yu immediately found his father Liu Yu.
At this moment, Liu Yu was discussing affairs. Liu Yu opened his mouth and said, "Father, now Zhang Chun's rebellion has been put down. Youzhou has been in chaos for five or six years, and the people are struggling to make a living, so I think our top priority at the moment is to concentrate on developing Youzhou. ”
Liu Yu nodded and said, "Yu'er, what you said is good, we are also discussing this matter at this time, let's talk about your opinion." ”
Liu Yu didn't know what the result of this group of people was discussed, and said according to his own thoughts: "Since the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, many officials in various counties and counties have died or fled, and the big ones are Liu Zheng, who is too shou of Youbeiping, and Taishou Yang of Liaodong were finally killed by Zhang Chun. ”
Liu Yu nodded and said, "Well, that's good." ”
Liu Yu continued: "The child is not talented, and he is willing to be the Taishou of Liaodong, and he will be able to seriously govern the state and county in the future and live up to his mission." ”
Liu Yu didn't speak, Liu Yu didn't know whether to agree or disagree, I don't know why, Dongcao Peng Wei You actually stood up and spoke for Liu Yu at this time: "Lord Envoy, the previous Fu Qiu Li Juyu Gongzi showed extraordinary insight, this time the rescue of Gongsun Chan is also a great contribution, Yu Gongzi's ability is obvious to everyone, I believe that Yu Gongzi will definitely be able to take on this important task, it is better to let Liu Gongzi go to govern Liaodong, so that you can also experience Yu Gongzi, why not?" ”
Wei Yu said, and everyone echoed him. Wei You is Liu Yu's confidant, and Liu Yu doesn't want his son to hold an important position, but because his position is not easy to make decisions, everyone now agrees to let Liu Yu serve as the Taishou of Liaodong, and Liu Yu just agrees to follow this momentum.
However, Liu Yu still said: "Yu'er is still too young, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take on this big responsibility, since all the monarchs have agreed, then I have nothing to disagree with." It's just that Yu'er needs someone to accompany her when she goes. ”
Liu Yuxi said: "Father, I would like to ask Yan Rou to walk with me." At this time, Yan Rou had already returned from the envoy and stayed under Liu Yu's account.
"That's fine, but I don't know if Yan Kerou is willing?" Liu Yu turned around and asked Yan Rou.
"Since Yu Gongzi is invited, Rou Zi should go, and there will be no complaints." Yan Rou already knew that she was recommended by Liu Yu before, and she still had a good impression of Liu Yu in her heart.
Liu Yu bowed and said, "Thank you, father, the child will definitely live up to your expectations." In this way, Liu Yu got the position of Liaodong Taishou.
The starting point of the position of Liaodong Taishou can be said to be very high. But this is also a helpless thing, who let Liu Yu cross well, his father is Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, the state pastor is not as good as the history of the assassination, the power is greater, and the state and county guards can be easily appointed and dismissed, and there is no need to report to the imperial court.
With such an advantage, if Liu Yu doesn't take advantage of it, unless he really doesn't want to make a difference, after all, his status is too low, and Liu Yu doesn't have enough reputation, so how many people around him are willing to follow?
The next step is to continue to discuss how to govern Youzhou and develop the details of Youzhou.
Youzhou was originally a poor state, and needed the money and grain of Qingzhou and Jizhou to subsidize official expenses, but at that time, due to the war and the cut off of transportation, it was impossible to dispatch money, so that it was once economically scarce. It is precisely because of this measure that more than one million people from Qingzhou and Xuzhou have been exiled here and live and work in peace and contentment.
Liu Yu also suggested that the troops should be streamlined, and the imperial court requested that all the troops collected be dismissed, leaving only Gongsun Zhan, the captain of the corporal army, who led 10,000 infantry and cavalry, and stationed in Youbeiping. The imperial court feared another invasion by foreign races, and finally agreed to only part of the army, but not all of them.
After streamlining the troops, Liu Yu began to give favors extensively, and Youzhou was peaceful for the time being.
