After pretending to be drunk and talking nonsense, Liu Cun's life was finally peaceful, he threw all the political affairs to Guan Ning and other staff, and while devoting his energy to army building, he vigilantly watched the various changes in the Han world.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion subsided, the Han Dynasty seemed to be in dire straits, but the vast empire still had a strong ruling power.

For several years in a row, disasters continued, and riots of all sizes occurred one after another, all of which were quickly suppressed under the great attention of the Han court and local governments, and the Han Dynasty, which has been inherited for 400 years, is still showing its powerful strength and profound heritage.

However, as the rebellion of Zhang Chun in Youzhou intensified, more than 100,000 Xiongnu in the south of Bingzhou, who had been attached to the state for many years, rebelled in an all-round way, and a large-scale peasant rebellion in Yizhou in southwest China spread rapidly, and the scarred foundation of the Han Empire was finally shaken.

In the surging large and small riots in various parts of the Han Dynasty, the rebel force of Zhang Chun in Youzhou was the most powerful, and in only four months, Zhang Chun's tens of thousands of rebels successively defeated tens of thousands of Han troops, killing hundreds of officials such as Gong Qichou, the captain of Wuhuan Colonel, Liu Zheng, the Taishou Liu Zheng of Youbeiping (now southeast of Fengrun, Hebei), and the Taishou Yang Zhong of Liaodong County, and the army rapidly swelled to 150,000 people, and promoted Taishan Taishou and Zhang Ju, the representative of the Yuyang Hao clan, who returned to his hometown in anger, as the commander, and conquered most of Youzhou.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, Zhang Ju proclaimed himself emperor in Feiru (now north of Lulong, Hebei), proclaimed himself the son of heaven, Zhang Chun proclaimed himself General Mitian and King Anding, and the two moved to Shuzhou County, claiming that Zhang Ju would be the emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty, and asked the Han Emperor to abdicate immediately.

As soon as the news came out, the world shook.

The extremely angry but panicked Emperor Liu Hong and the important ministers of the court hurriedly dispatched troops and mobilized all the forces they could mobilize to conquer the rebellious Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun.

Less than half a month after returning to Linzi from the inauguration ceremony of Qiancheng City, Huang Wan, the assassin of Qingzhou, received an order from the imperial court to "raise food and wages, recruit soldiers, and requisition people, and wait for the dispatch of the north to quell the rebellion at any time".

After Huang Wan weighed it repeatedly, he did not immediately follow the orders of the imperial court, he sent a long letter to Liu Cun, the Taishou of Chengyang, who was inseparable from his rule, and then hurried to Luoyang to present his case to Emperor Liu Hong and the imperial court.

It was February 15 when Huang Wan arrived in Luoyang, and at this moment, Liu Cun and Wang Lie, the commander of Qianqian County, were standing on the south bank of the ink outside the south gate of the new city, looking at the dock that was about to be completed and several new ships on the water and talking in a low voice.

"Why is the lord unwilling to accept the recommendation of Lord Ziyan (Huang Wanzi)? Is it because he is worried that he will lose the real power of Taishou after taking over the assassination? Wang Lie, who was tall and ruddy-faced, asked in a low voice.

Liu Cun nodded honestly: "Among the important ministers of the court and the children of wealthy families, there are not a few people who covet the prosperity and tranquility of Chengyang, if the emperor is holy and the officials are honest, I don't care about changing places and creating a peaceful and prosperous Chengyang County, but not now!" If I are gone, and the Chengyang Taishou who takes over only cares about his own interests and ignores the people of the country, how can I explain to the 2.3 million fathers and villagers in Chengyang 11 counties? How do you give an account to those of you who have worked so hard to get what you are today? ”

Wang Lie never doubted the noble character of the lord Liu Cun, so he could understand Liu Cun's worries: "What the lord said is that if there is no lord sitting in Chengyang, the good situation of condensing the blood and sweat of countless people is afraid that it will fall apart in a blink of an eye, and his subordinates estimate that his colleagues will not approve of the lord taking over the history of Qingzhou Thorn, and the time has not yet come!" ”

Liu Cun smiled slightly: "Your words are exactly the same as Bo Tao, You'an, and Zi Ni, and it is my blessing to have your assistance!" ”

Wang Lie humbly shook his head: "My lord, a month ago, that is, during the inauguration ceremony of the new city, my subordinates had the honor to talk with Xu Yi and Xu Jicai, the magistrate of Dong'an County, and admired his talent and achievements in the past two years. His subordinates sincerely hope that the Lord will reuse him! ”

Liu Cun sighed with emotion: "Xu Yi is indeed talented, when I handed over to him a Dong'an County with a barren land, in less than three years, he handed over to me a large grain-producing county with a stable and rich population of 200,000, what an amazing governance ability!" ”

"What's even more rare is that Xu Yi, who was born in a poor family, knows the hardships of the people, is honest and self-controlled, diligent and practical, he has been in office for nearly three years, and two of them have been spent in the fields and mountains and forests, if it weren't for my inspection of Dong'an last summer, I accidentally found that his old father and wife and children were planting vegetables in the backyard, and the clothes were mended and mended, and the mansion in the backyard of the county government was empty except for simple furniture, I didn't know that Xu Yi's life was so bitter."

Speaking of this, Liu Cun's eyes moistened slightly: "Later, I learned that in addition to ensuring the food and clothing of his family, Xu Yi's Yulu was all replaced with farm tools and piglets, and quietly sent to the hands of poor villagers, no one in the county officials knew about it, everyone thought that the reason why Xu Yi lived a hard life was to send the rich Yulu back to his hometown and hand it over to relatives and friends, but I know that Xu Yi's hometown Dongguan countryside has no relatives!" ”

At the end of last year, I asked for his opinion and wanted him to be transferred to Gumu County, he said that the foundation of Gumu was very good, and he only needed to send a capable official to manage it, and Dong'an, surrounded by mountains, could not do it, and asked him to give him another year, so that he could repair the canals under construction in Dong'an townships, two carboniferous mines and the official road connecting Dongguan and Ju County, so that the villagers' fields would no longer be affected by drought. I was able to increase his income from the coal and timber trade, and I saw that he was not willing to give up, so I had to agree. ”

Wang Lie was suddenly in awe, he and most of his colleagues had always thought that the lord gave his house to Xu Yi's family, which was the weight and envelopment of Xu Yi, I didn't know that there was such a reason, after listening to Liu Cun's narration at this moment, Wang Lie felt a lot of emotion in his heart, admired Xu Yi's moral character, and was also deeply moved by the openness and love of the lord Liu Cun.

Liu Cun then said to Wang Lie: "Yan Fang, you and Xu Yi are both noble people, you always have the people and morality in your hearts, and your achievements are as prominent as Xu Yi!" In just half a year, you resettled 100,000 displaced people from Yanzhou, supervised the construction of Qiancheng New Town, and reclaimed 350,000 mu of land......"

"You see, the green crops on both sides of the ink, and the moat over there, not inferior to Xiahe City, and then the people who come and go to live and work in peace and contentment, Yan Fang, I don't know how many sleepless nights you have spent in the past half a year, but I know that even if I am Liu Cun to do it, I will not do a good job as you!"

"Lord ......"

Wang Lie's sunken eyes were blurred.

Liu Cun patted his arm: "I will only give you half a year at most, and after half a year, I need you to transfer to the Taishou Mansion Lingshi, form a competent team, and formulate a complete set of detailed and comprehensive local laws on the basis of the "Great Han Law", covering all industries of agriculture and industry, so that the people under the rule have the law to follow, know the law and abide by the law." ”

Wang Lie was taken aback: "The lord is not worried about being impeached? ”

"Don't worry, in another year or two, no one will pay attention to our land on the shore of the sea."

Liu Cun sighed after speaking, and there was no trace of a smile on his face, but instead showed deep worry and bitterness.
