Asking Emperor Ling of Han to build a palace and cast bronze figures, as soon as this suggestion was put forward, it immediately aroused the strong interest of Emperor Ling. The palace burned down, and naturally it had to be rebuilt.

For Emperor Ling, this building of the imperial palace is not something to be happy about. What intrigued him was that in this way, he would have money to earn.

As the king of a country, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty's ability to govern the country and the world is between Liu Chan of later generations, but when it comes to business, he is very handy. Since there is a repair of the palace, it is natural to raise funds, but the treasury is empty, and the emperor's inner treasury is not allowed to move.

So where does the money come from? Naturally, the people want it, so Emperor Ling soon ordered to increase taxes, in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, the people are generally ten miles of one tax, but since Emperor Ling's accession to the throne, the tax has been rising, and now it is already seven out of ten miles. Ten percent of the harvest, seventy percent of the handover.

As a result, the common people are complaining here.

Soon after, first Le'an Taishou Lu Kang played the Han court, saying: "The minister tasted the will of His Majesty, but cherished the people's power, lightly taxed, reduced servitude, went to the complexity and simplification, and advocated simplicity, so the world returned to the heart, and the people admired, and now once the will is lost, it is a pity that the world is in danger, the government is difficult to be safe, the Holy Son of Heaven lives in the world artifact, the authority of the people, according to the great of the four seas, add the world's territory, since the world can be determined, so how can the world be determined, and now although the world is in chaos, the Holy Son of Heaven imitates Wenjing, and the ambition of Yao Shun, within three years, all the people are safe, and taste the wish of the youth! ”

It means that when you were young, the emperor was determined to be a good emperor, but why is it like this now, although the world is turbulent now, but as the leader of the Han Dynasty, you sit on the world, as long as you lead by example, reduce the burden of the people, and enhance the national strength, then within three years, the civil strife can be calmed.

Lu Kang's words can be said to be extremely sincere and have opinions, however, he has forgotten what kind of person the Spirit Emperor is. For those who dare to oppose their own money, he will never be soft.

Therefore, within a month, Lu Kang was arrested by Tingwei on the charge of great disrespect, and soon after, he was rescued by the squire Liu Dai, but although the death penalty was exempted, the living crime was inescapable, and he was finally removed from his official position and expelled back to his hometown.

……

But said this, Han Jin was very busy in Hanyang County, and when he heard Zhong Xuan say the news, he frowned and said, "It's a pity that a great sage, it's ...... about it" said it and shook his head. His expression seemed to be a little depressed, and he stopped talking.

Although he reported his thoughts of fishing in troubled waters, he has always had high respect for those historical sages who served the country and the people.

Lu Kang, he naturally knows about this person, but although he admires his behavior, he does not approve of it. Confucianism says, if you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you can't even protect yourself, how can you benefit others!

After chatting with Zhong Yuyou for a while, he suddenly asked: "Yuan Chang, since Your Majesty has issued an order to beg for thieves, although he has been dragged down now, he will want to come, I am afraid that next year at the latest, everything will be better, but I am afraid that at that time, it is also the time for us to conquer the Korean thieves, yes, I will think that it is better to make some preparations earlier!" ”

Zhong Xuan nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, in terms of grain and grass, my subordinates and Changwen have already issued a collection order to the monarch of the government, and at the latest in half a year, we should be able to gather the grain and grass needed by the army, but our army is insufficient, if it is to conquer the Qiang people, we have to ask the imperial army to support it!" ”

"Haha, these Yuan Chang don't have to worry, as the general of the imperial court to conquer the west, he naturally has the right to recruit and transfer the army of Yongliang Erzhou, but General Ben is a little suspicious of the combat power of these county soldiers!" Han Jin grinded his short beard, which was not an inch, and muttered.

"Hahaha, the lord doesn't need to worry, loyalty has a good plan!" As soon as Han Jin finished speaking, he saw Xi Zhicai and Chen Qun entering one after another.

"Oh! What is the best strategy for the military, come quickly! Han Jin's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked with a smile, he had never had the slightest doubt about the intelligence of these resourceful people. If you don't rely on cheating to play in front of these people, I'm afraid that you won't know how to die.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and gave Han Jin a salute, and Xi Zhicai said eloquently: "Lord, you don't need any other law, just recruit soldiers!" ”

"Conscription!" Han Jin was stunned for a moment, and then repeated thoughtfully.

"Yes, it is a conscription, the lord and the governor lead the army of the two states, but now Liangzhou is almost empty, there is no help, Yongzhou is a famine, the officers and soldiers [***], the combat power is not strong, the lord can take this opportunity to recruit tens of thousands of strong soldiers, thinking that the general's guards are ......"

After Xi Zhicai finished speaking, his two eyes stared at Han Jin burningly, just with his understanding of Han Jin, he knew that this method would definitely be adopted by Han Jin.

You must know that Han Jin, as a general of the expedition to the west, naturally has his own relatives and troops, but now the combat power of the Han officers and soldiers is not strong, and loyalty is also a problem, if you take this opportunity to recruit some new soldiers, under Han Jin's own training, first, the combat power will be greatly enhanced, and second, there is no need to doubt Han Jin's loyalty.

If he said that Han Jin gave an order, these people would be able to help him do great things. And Han Jin obviously quickly understood the trick, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, can he finally form his own subordinates, this day, he has been waiting for a long time.

and Xi Zhicai, Zhong Xuan and others glanced at each other, and several people laughed at the same time.

……

Time flowed in the fall of the Han Dynasty, and in the blink of an eye, it was another year, and the sleeping lion of the Han Dynasty seemed to really not wake up.

And the plague finally disappeared slowly in the cold winter, and in the Yongzhou area of Liangzhou, because of Han Jin's views in Hanyang County, the whole people followed suit, so it did not cause much harm, and Fan A was also convinced, for Han Jin, a person who has nothing to do with medicine at all, he can put forward such an opinion, which is really a genius.

So since then, the Taishou Mansion has become the back garden of his house, and he always puts forward various opinions to hollow out Han Jin, and over time, Han Jin is afraid of being entangled, so he slips away under the pretext of excuses.

However, after a person came, Han Jin couldn't leave anymore. This person is the famous Mr. Hua Tuo, who has been practicing medicine in the south, but not long ago, he received a letter from his disciple, saying that he had discovered a medical genius, and some of his remarks were insightful, which was a rare genius in a hundred years.

Hua Tuo practiced medicine, the most interested is the study of medical skills, hearing this, under the great joy, he packed his bags, one person and one ride, from Jingzhou spent less than half a month to rush to Chang'an, asking to see Han Jin.

Why come to Chang'an? Because at this time, Han Jin had already officially taken up the post of general of Zhengxi in Chang'an. According to the practice of the Han Dynasty, Han carried out the post of general of the expedition to the west, and had the right to open the government, and also had his own guards, and carried out the conquest authority of Yongzhou and Liangzhou. And the Zhengxi General's Mansion has always been in Chang'an.

So not long after the winter, Han Jin's family moved into Chang'an.

As for Hanyang County, it is a place that Han Jin has been painstakingly operating for a long time, and the people want it, under his governance, they suppress Haoqiang, reduce taxes, and remove other indiscriminate servitudes, the people are rich, rich businessmen gather, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Over the past year, the population of Hanyang County has increased by more than 200,000 again, reaching nearly one million today, which has to be said to be a miracle.
