Chapter 123 Cleaning
The day after Liu Yu left, the eldest prince who couldn't stay idle began to act.
Liu He ordered people to gather all the leaders of the army above the rank of marquis, and then told them: In order to welcome the arrival of the New Year, a five-day cleaning activity will be carried out in the city from now on, and all the cantonment teams that have completed their tasks well will be rewarded with a meal of wine and meat on Chinese New Year's Eve, and there will be a reward on the first day of the first lunar month; Anyone who is passive and slacks off work is responsible for patrolling out of the city on Chinese New Year's Eve, and is responsible for cooking on the fire on the first day of the first lunar month!
In order to let these illiterate soldiers understand the detailed plan and task area of the cleaning, Liu He personally drew the "sanitation zoning map" of the entire Macheng, and also asked Wei You to read out the specific cleaning tasks of the day in public.
On the first day, a thorough cleaning of all dirty and smelly places such as sewage tunnels and latrines in the city was carried out. The focus is on dredging and disinfecting the places where the siltation and blockage are serious, and all the filth that has been cleaned up is transported to a mountain col 15 miles southeast of the city for burial.
On the second day, the stables, barracks and other parts were thoroughly cleaned, ventilated and disinfected. The materials used in disinfection, such as sour vinegar, quicklime, realgar, mugwort, etc., are all provided by the logistics warehouse, and it is necessary to leave no dead corners and blind spots.
On the third day, the streets, government offices, squares and other public areas were cleaned and cleaned. The standard is the same as on the second day, and the residents of the city can be mobilized to participate together, and the cleaning tools required are up to each tun to figure out their own way.
On the fourth day, personal clothes, weapons and armor, beds and bedding are disinfected, washed, dried and stored. The logistics warehouse provides free soap powder, disinfectant powder, ropes, long poles and other tools needed to dry clothes.
On the fifth day, the individual's hair, beard, nails, ears, nose hair, soles, navel, and other parts of the body that are prone to dirt and dirt are thoroughly washed and trimmed. The city provided hot water for bathing in the city, and the soldiers could help each other, and they had to trim their hair neatly, shave their beards clean, cut the nails of their hands and feet short, and clean up their ears, nose hair, and calluses on the soles of their feet.
In order to ensure the in-depth and thorough operation of this operation, the eldest prince specially set up a mass organization called the "Patriotic Health Association", and selected fair and decent soldiers from each tun as supervision inspectors, and went to the troops where the non-Bentun was located to conduct inspection and acceptance! If in the process, if it is found that the inspectors are in tandem with each other, unfair law enforcement, favoritism and other bad behaviors, they will be directly disqualified from inspection, deduct this month's military salary, and receive another 40 military sticks!
I have to say that the eldest prince is so insidious and cunning, in order to prevent everyone from being lazy and coping, he can even think of an unheard of and unseen organization like the "Patriotic Health Association"!
In order not to go out of the city to patrol Chinese New Year's Eve night, and not to boil water and cook for the brothers on the morning of the first day of the new year, the 5,000 officers and soldiers in Macheng were as excited as if they had eaten a sheep's whip......
Wei You whispered to Liu He in private: "Son, as usual, the camp will be cleaned at the end of the year, but this time is there too much movement, and some of it is too much?" ”
Liu He shook his head and said, "I originally wanted to ask for something higher, but considering that the soldiers worked hard to defend the city some time ago, I relaxed a little." ”
"Childe is arranged like this, does it have a deep meaning?"
"Absolutely! After I entered the city, I carefully observed the living conditions of the soldiers, and found that many of them had frozen hands and feet, their clothes and hair were covered with lice, some of them did not bathe for months, and some even had serious skin diseases, which seemed to be commonplace, but in fact they were very harmful to the health of the soldiers, and it was easy to breed all kinds of infectious diseases, such as typhoid, plague, cholera, and so on. ”
When Wei You heard Liu He's words, he was immediately startled. He never thought that a cleaning operation would have such a great significance and impact.
"Childe, since this matter is so important, do you immediately send people to Gaoliu, Ningcheng and Quang Ninh to ask the other three cities to follow Macheng's cleaning plan and take action at the same time?"
"Well, there are still ten days before the Chinese New Year, and it's too late. I was tired of Wei Cao Peng to transcribe three copies of the plan I had formulated, and then sent competent people to the cities! ”
Wei You was also anxious to behave in front of the eldest prince, and he was quite resolute in doing things, and he implemented Liu He's instructions on the same day.
On the third day, Zhao Yun, the commander of the Ningcheng garrison, received a notice on carrying out a sanitation cleaning in the defenders of each city, and immediately began to implement it meticulously according to the requirements of the son, so Ningcheng was turned upside down by 6,000 officers and soldiers.
On the fourth day, Li Yan, the commander of the Guangning garrison, and Xiahou Lan, the commander of the Gaoliu garrison, received a notice from Gongzi at the same time, so the two cities also immediately took action.
Wei Yu made it very clear in the official document that when the first month came, Gongzi would personally go to the cities to inspect and inspect!
Standing at the head of the city every day, Liu He watched busy soldiers carry truckloads of garbage out of the city, and felt like returning to the old campus and starting a new semester. At that time, after the class teacher's order, everyone picked up brooms, mops, buckets, dustpans, and rags, carefully cleaned all corners of the campus and classrooms, and then received brand new textbooks, and then arranged seats......
In order to embolden himself, Liu He now imagines himself as the old principal when he was in college, but he is in charge of more than 20,000 teachers and students, which is not much different from the number of soldiers and horses under his command. However, the old headmaster didn't have his own, and most of the students he managed were naughty and disobedient; But those in charge of themselves are honest and obedient soldiers, if anyone dares to disobey Liu He's orders, they will be served with military sticks, and they will be beheaded directly!
Just as Liu Dagongzi was carrying out an unprecedented scale of "sanitation and cleaning" campaigns in the cities of Biansai, Liu Yu, a pastor from Youzhou who had just returned to Jicheng, also started a large-scale "cleaning" in Youzhou!
The counties have already submitted the detailed accounts of the year-end grain collection to the state pastoral office, which especially reflects the poor performance of some wealthy families who do not know how to advance and retreat during the attack of the Xianbei people. For the sake of their own selfish interests, these wealthy families have made up all kinds of reasons and excuses, and have tried their best to ask the county to reduce or reduce the amount of grain they have handed in, and their ugly face of selfishness has been exposed.
Don't look at Liu Yu's gentle temperament, he doesn't speak in a hurry or slowly, but after all, he is the old state pastor who has been guarding Youzhou for six years, and he is also the Zongzheng and Taifu of the Han royal family, so to deal with these ill-intentioned wealthy families, Liu Yu has means and methods!
The first thing Liu Yu did was to conduct a performance appraisal of the officials in various counties, and all those officials who were born in wealthy families and did not perform well in the process of this grain requisition were all driven out of the official office yamen by Liu Yu with a stroke of his pen. This move is ruthless enough, directly cutting off the road for the children of those wealthy families with different intentions to become officials in Youzhou, and blocking the possibility of further expansion of the wealthy families from the source.
The second thing Liu Yu did was to ask the officials in the prefecture to carefully check the amount of grain and grass owed by the wealthy families in each county, and then send someone to send the ultimatum to the door of each family, asking these wealthy families to find a way to transport the arrears of grain and grass to the front line, and the government will not interfere this time! After the last deadline, the wealthy families who still stubbornly resisted and did not pay food, Liu Yu's method was to drive the clan out of Youzhou.
Isn't it a resistance to food and not pay? Old men are not rare! I'm sorry, people like you are not welcome in Youzhou, the world is so big, you can go wherever you want, get out of here!
Everyone knows that the tax under the rule of Liu Yu is very low, everyone knows that Liu Yu is a good official who loves the people, and everyone knows that Youzhou is a rare safe and stable place.
The third thing Liu Yu did was to write two very fiercely worded letters to Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei. Moreover, Liu Yu also appointed Gongsun Ji as his special envoy, and personally went to see Gongsun Chan with a letter and questioned Gongsun Chan on his behalf.
In a letter to Gongsun Zhan, Liu Yu asked Gongsun Zhan if he wanted to rebel if he wanted to rebel if he connived at his subordinates to break into Zhuo County to kill officials! In the letter to the big-eared Liu, Liu Yu trained this family like a third grandson, Liu Yu warned Liu Bei not to forget the identity of his descendants surnamed Liu, and to control reckless and stupid subordinates like Zhang Fei in the future!
In order to express his serious dissatisfaction, Liu Yu also asked the three Taozi brothers to personally go to the grave of the murdered official in Zhuo County to mourn and admit their mistakes!
If Liu Hezhidao's father humiliated the three peach brothers so much in order to breathe a sigh for his son, he would definitely be moved to tears.
Of course, Liu Yu still took a sense of proportion, and did not make such a self-deprecating request as letting Zhang Fei apologize for his crimes.
Liu Yu is no stranger to Liu Bei, when Da Er responded to the call of the imperial court to raise troops in Zhuo County, he originally wanted to defect to Liu Yu. However, Liu Yu heard Lu Zhi say that Liu Bei was a bit hypocritical and good at playing with people's hearts, so he ignored this Liu Bei at that time. Although Liu Yu didn't like Liu Bei, he also knew about the first marriage of the three Taozi brothers, so he didn't force Liu Bei to hand over Zhang Fei, because Liu Bei would never agree.
With Liu Yu's current status, he doesn't take Liu Bei in his eyes at all, and the reason why he accommodated Liu Bei a little this time is because he is not ready to go to war with Gongsun Zhan immediately, not because Liu Bei is a descendant of the Han family surnamed Liu with himself.
In the process of dealing with these things, Liu He's "office director" Liu Fang, who stayed in Jicheng, entered Liu Yu's field of vision, and gradually gained Liu Yu's appreciation and respect.
Liu Fang is good at drafting all kinds of official documents, not only the words are gorgeous and beautiful, but also the expression is clear and sharp, which is not inferior to other senior staff members in the state. Liu Yu wanted to recruit Liu Fang as the recorder Cao Peng, but Liu Fang politely refused. Liu Fang showed Liu Yu, he came to Jicheng at the invitation of Gongzi, so he hopes to follow Gongzi to do things in the future.
Liu Yu listened to Liu Fang's explanation, shook his head and smiled bitterly, feeling that his son's original fact of buying people's hearts was too powerful, and even he, who was an old man, couldn't dig a corner.
As soon as Xian Yufu, who escorted Liu Yu back to Jicheng, returned to his house, Xian Yuyin ran to bid him farewell, and stuffed the tiger talisman and seal letter of the transfer of troops into Xian Yufu's hands.
When Xian Yufu left Macheng, Liu He had confessed in private, so he was not surprised by Xian Yuyin's move, but he complained that Xian Yuyin was not enough buddies, and he didn't put a few tables to drink when he came back.
Xian Yuyin said "Brother I'm sorry" to Xian Yufu, and then like a fire in the house, he took Han Heng and set off for Liaodong.
