Chapter Ninety-Six: Meeting Master Lu

Liu Ze didn't care, originally he didn't expect the court to take any measures, but now the court acquiesced, without the court's restraint, things would be much easier. Originally, he had no obligation to help, but he was very enthusiastic about mobilizing a large number of soldiers to help maintain order and assist in the affairs of porridge, and his love for the people was obvious.

In the past few days, the number of refugees outside the Yuyuan Pass has increased unabated, and has exceeded one million, and the grain in Liu Ze's warehouse is also being consumed at an alarming rate. At this time, the price of rice in Luoyang City had skyrocketed by thousands of wen and one stone, and the daily consumption of grain outside Yuyuan Pass had reached 10,000 yuan, and Liu Zezhen really felt the pressure.

At this time, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was not having a good time, and urgent documents from all over the country poured into Luoyang like snowflakes, and he was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. So urgently convened the ministers to discuss the matter, the ministers and eunuchs in the court restrained each other, and many previous resolutions were not resolved, but this time it was a matter of the safety of the court, and after several days of endless disputes, it was finally March Wushen Day (the fifth day of the third month is Jiazi Day, which is the day of Zhang Jiao's original uprising, so it is estimated that Wushen Day is after the forty-fifth day. Woohoo, is that still March? Many experts have verified that the fifth day of the third month is not Jiazi Day but Gengxu Day, and Wushen Day is exactly the third day of March, that is, the month after the Zhangjiao Uprising, and one month is enough to fuck up, otherwise no matter how corrupt the Eastern Han Dynasty court is, it is impossible for the Yellow Turban Rebellion to be two and a half months without doing it) Several measures have been reached.

1. Appoint He Jin, the captain of Sili, as the general, and lead the five battalions of Yulin to be stationed in Duting, reorganize weapons, and protect the safety of the Beijing division;

2. From the Hangu Pass, Otani, Guangcheng, Yique, Yuyuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin, Koheimatsu and other Kyoto Passes, set up the garrison of the Governor;

3. Issued an edict to all localities to take strict precautions, ordering all prefectures and counties to prepare for battle, train soldiers, count weapons, and gather righteous troops;

Fourth, Lu Zhi was appointed as the general of Beizhonglang, Wuhuan Zhonglang was appointed as a deputy, and led the five soldiers of the Northern Army to Jizhou, Huangfu Song was the general of the left Zhonglang, Zhu Jun was the general of the right Zhonglang, and more than 40,000 people of the five schools, the knights of the three rivers and the elite soldiers and warriors who had just been recruited were controlled to defeat the Yellow Turban Army in the Yingchuan area;

Fifth, Huangfu Song asked for the lifting of the party ban, and took out the palace money and the good horses in the West Garden to give to the sergeants to improve morale, and Lu Yi said to Emperor Ling: The party has been accumulated for a long time, and if you conspire with the Yellow Turban, you will regret it. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty accepted the proposal, granted amnesty to the party members on Renzi Day, returned the migrants, asked the ministers to donate horses and crossbows, and recommended the descendants of the generals and people with deep strategies to the bus bureau for interviews.

Sixth, heavy rewards. Whoever captures and kills Zhang Jiao will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold and sealed 10,000 households; Those who capture and kill Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold and sealed the inner marquis; Those who capture and kill the leaders of the Yellow Turbans at all levels will be rewarded.

Although it was late, the court finally threw a heavy fist at the Yellow Turban Army, and sent a three-way army led by Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun to start a Jedi counterattack. The most noteworthy thing is that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was forced to finally lift the party ban, and the disaster of the party was finally over. The two party bans in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty were the darkest period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was a great duel between the clear stream represented by the scholar class and the turbid current represented by the eunuch class. However, the brutal persecution activities of the eunuch clique did not intimidate the upright bureaucrats and Confucian scholars. History: "The likes of the sea and the wind are flaunted together, referring to the world's celebrities, and being the title of it."

This is a matter in the Luoyang court, and it has nothing to do with ordinary people like Liu Ze. Liu Ze has been in the head for the past two days, although the 200 million money in Chang'an and Jinyang has arrived, but in the face of the surging pressure of the run, the Luoyang General Number seems to be a little powerless, and the daily exchange of hundreds of millions of dollars cannot solve the long queue of cash. Jian Yong had to post a notice at the door of the main number, due to the large number of people who exchanged huàn, the long queue strictly hindered the traffic of Luoyang City, from now on, Huitong Tianxia Qian Zhuang changed to the way of arranging the number to exchange huàn, every day on the 50th, those who enter the store can receive the number in order, and they can withdraw money on the day of the day, and those who are lined up after three or five days need to withdraw money after three or five days.

As soon as this move came out, although the long queue at the door of the money village disappeared, but after the number, it actually lined up for more than ten days, and the people who got the back number couldn't help but scold again and again, but there was nothing to be done, fortunately, Huitong World is now famous, with an excellent reputation, and there has not been a case of rejection, although some people scolded the mother, but there is no need to worry that the money will swallow their money.

Rao is like this, the pressure on Qian Zhuang is still very great, so whether Guan Yu can transfer gold from the waterway has become the key to the success or failure of Huitong World. But now Liu Ze has no confidence at all, and he really doesn't know if the signboard of Huitong World will be smashed in his hands. Once there is a rejection, the angry crowd will definitely smash the world to pieces. Those who can handle foreign exchange are rich and powerful masters, and Huitong is bankrupt in the world, and I am afraid that I will have no place in Luoyang.

Although the number of refugees outside the Yuyuan Pass has increased slightly, it has basically stabilized, which makes Liu Ze feel a little more at ease. On this day, the porridge at the pass, suddenly saw the flag outside the pass, the war horse neighed, everyone was shocked, thinking that the yellow turban had been killed, but it was only before the close that it was clear that it was the flag of the official army, and some people who knew the details said that this was the newly promoted Beizhong Lang General Lu Zhi was ordering troops and preparing to go to battle.

It was somewhat surprising to see the teacher Lu Zhi here, thinking that he had eaten his closed-door soup several times in a row, Liu Ze was depressed. At this time, Lu Zhi led his troops to Yuyuan Pass, and it seemed that he had gathered his army and was ready to set off in Luoyang.

Chen Zhi lined up and saluted Lu Zhi: "Chen Zhi, the commander of Yuyuan Pass, has seen Lu Zhonglang. ”

Lu Zhi nodded immediately, which was considered a return gift.

Liu Ze was beside Chen Dao, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Student Liu Ze has seen the teacher." ”

Lu Zhi just nodded faintly, without squeaking.

Liu Ze's heart sank, didn't Master Lu want to recognize him as a student anymore?

Just as Lu Zhi rode forward, suddenly Lu Zhi turned back to Liu Ze and said flatly: "Come to my house tonight." With that, he led the army and left, leaving Liu Ze speechless in the flying dust.

Lu Shi was finally willing to see him, Liu Ze was overjoyed, explained the matter at hand to Jian Yong, and immediately turned his horse back to Luoyang City.

Bathing and changing, Liu Ze changed into a simple clothes, although he was usually used to wearing high-end clothes of silk and satin, but knowing that Lu Zhi's character did not like luxury, he changed into the clothes of a scholar with fabric, put on a high crown, and solemnly looked like a student. As for what gift to bring to the teacher, Liu Ze was worried, Lu Zhi was thrifty, with a clean breeze on his sleeves, if he took some extravagant things, maybe he would be blown out directly, but he couldn't go empty-handed.

Thinking about it, Liu Ze suddenly remembered that there were still a few jars of wine brought from Phoenix Valley in Fuyuan Village. These jars of wine are not ordinary wine, at that time, people in the Han Dynasty drank rice wine that was simply fermented and unprocessed, with low degree and turbidity, Liu Ze did not like to drink. For this reason, when he was in the Phoenix Valley, he used selected five grains and hand-brewed dozens of jars of fine wine with more than 50 degrees according to the technological process of later generations.

Originally, Liu Ze wanted to produce this wine on a large scale, but he thought that winemaking consumed a lot of grain, and that there was a shortage of food in the troubled times, and many people starved to death. However, Liu Ze didn't drink much of this wine, but let the greedy insect Zhang Fei drink a lot, and the remaining jars were put in the Fuyuanzhuang store.

That night, Liu Ze only took Pan Feng and a few other relatives and four altars of good wine, and went straight to Lufu. The doorman of the Lu Mansion did not make it difficult this time, and opened the door neatly to let Liu Ze in. The area of the Lu Mansion is not large, there are three entrances inside and outside, even smaller than the house that Liu Ze gave to Jia Xu, the house is quite simple, it is hard to imagine that this is the mansion of Lu Zhi, the former Shangshu and now the official residence of Beizhonglang.

In front of the middle hall, Liu Ze met Lu Zhi's son Lu Yu, he and Lu Yu met when they were in Zhuo County, Lu Yu was four or five years older than Liu Ze, Liu Ze bowed and said: "Brother Yu has always been good?" ”
