Chapter 24: Obscenity

But rest assured, for the people, Zhang will live up to the trust! ”

Zhang Han stood in front of the hall and arched his hand, his face was serious, and he whispered to these Jinan visitors.

"The adults are so reasonable, it is really a blessing for the people, everything is entrusted to the adults, the adults are righteous, the righteousness is awe-inspiring, presiding over justice, the ancestors of the Liu family feel the same, and Jinan Li Shu is the same as Mu this virtue......"

Several people who were tall, short, fat and thin, but all dressed in satin Confucian clothes, made a deep gesture and praised the benevolence of Lord Zhang Qingzhou.

"Don't dare! Can't! ”

Zhang Han hurriedly humbled himself, he couldn't afford to say this. The flattering words of the Liu family were endless, and they said that they had a moment of work before they were reluctant to leave.

Zhang Han saw that these people had left, and then turned around and returned to the back hall, Xu Ling blinked his two small eyes, and was waiting there with a spring breeze on his face. Seeing Zhang Han, Xu Ling stroked his palms and smiled:

"Lord, it's really a good calculation!"

"What a little skill of this carving insect is, Zhong Yuan, don't laugh at me......"

Zhang Han smiled and said leisurely. This is just a trivial matter, Xu Ling didn't take it to heart, and talked straight about the gift given by the visitor:

"Lord, Liu Jie, their money is easy to come by, if you don't collect it, you won't collect it, this Zhuangzi, eight hundred Qi bamboos, plus a mansion given to me, I am afraid that it will only cost more than four million yuan together......"

Although I knew that this gift must be heavy, I didn't expect it to be so much. The figures reported by Xu Ling. It still surprised Zhang Han - the magic stick is so profitable, and with some more money, he can buy a county magistrate. Zhang Han thought about it and understood that this money was definitely not from Liu Jie alone.

"Not bad! Not bad! It seems that Cao Mengde's behavior is really extraordinary, very good! Since they have taken the initiative to contribute, it is better to resettle the displaced people so that they can accumulate some virtue for them......"

"Ahem! Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind! Cao Jinan (referring to Cao Cao) acted boldly. In one fell swoop, he impeached six magistrates, including the county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant, and banned obscenity, for fear that he would not be able to stay here for a long time......"

Hearing Zhang Han say this, Xu Ling coughed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile. At the beginning, Zhang Han impeached the officials for the sake of Liwei. It's also stressful. If there is no Zhang Rang's support, Zhang Chao will play up and down the yang, and Zhang Han will definitely not be able to insist on today. Of course, Zhang Han sent more land later, which is another matter. But if you think about it, Xu Ling won't say it.

"This may not be, there are people in the court who are good officials, just a few Lingcheng, I'm afraid I can't move Cao Mengde!"

Zhang Han shook his head slightly. Generally speaking, there is really a way and a deep background. Nor will it be just a county order and a cheng. At the beginning, he was under pressure, mainly because he impeached the governors of the four counties.

"Maybe!" Xu Ling didn't care about Cao Cao's whereabouts. "Lord, this money is not so easy to get......"

"Zhong Yuan. I know ......"

There is no need for Xu Ling to say this, Zhang Han naturally knows.

In the Han Kingdom, sacrifice is a major event, heaven and earth, mountains, rivers, sun, moon and stars, and even plants and trees, there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed. Supposedly, the sacrifice was originally a prayer for blessings and blessings, and? It's a bad thing. However. Things are often very different from what people expect. A lot of times, not paying attention. The blessing was not enshrined, but the sacrifice itself became a heavy burden.

In Qingzhou, there has always been the custom of sacrificing to Liu Zhang, the king of Yangjing, the ancestral city. King Jing of Chengyang is Liu Zhang, the second son of King Hui of Qi. Liu Zhang made great contributions to quelling the rebellion of the Lu family, and was named the king of Chengyang, and his feudal country lasted for a long time, and his descendants were divided into more than 50 people. Due to the luxuriant branches and foliage of Liu Zhang's descendants, Liu Zhang's ancestral halls cover Langya County, Donghai County, Taishan County and Qingzhou counties in Taishan District. This was originally the Liu family's own business, and it had nothing to do with others.

However, in the last years of the Western Han Dynasty, when the world opposed his relative Wang Mang, in order to boost morale, the Red Eyebrow Army let people pretend to be possessed by Liu Zhang. So since the Eastern Han Dynasty, there have been more and more Chengyang Jingwang ancestral temples in Qingzhou, and more and more people have participated in the sacrifice. The Duyi Township Pavilion settlements of Langya State, Bohai County and Qingzhou Six Counties are all Chengyang Jingwang Ancestral Hall. Today, there are more than 600 ancestral halls in Jinan County, with a population of less than 700,000.

Moreover, sacrifice is a lucrative affair. Not to mention, it is definitely not a problem for the person who presides over the sacrifice to make a slight move and embezzle half of the money raised. Because there are great benefits in the sacrifice, the scale of the sacrifice site is becoming more and more grand. This Liu Jie is the heroic power of Jinan, and it is in the name of this that he presides over the local sacrifice to collect money. Of course, Liu Jie is just one of the many wealthy people, but he is the descendant of Liu Zhangdi, so he was elected to bribe Zhang Han.

Xu Ling said that the money was not easy to take, but it was not that Zhang Han could not resume the sacrifice. Cao Cao impeached the chief officials and offended the officials of the DPRK and China; The sacrifice was forbidden, and the wealthy road of the powerful was cut off, and the whole was offended. If Zhang Han impeached him again, Cao Cao would definitely not be able to stay in Jinan. However, the frequent sacrifices and the grand scale are really harmful to the country and the people. According to Zhang Han's habits, he will definitely not keep it. Moreover, Zhang Han also admired Cao Cao...... When the time comes, how can Liu Jie give up?

Xu Ling understands these things, and Zhang Han also knows them, but Zhang Han has already thought of countermeasures:

"Zhong Yuan, this is easy to do. Liu Jie came to beg me, and kept saying that he wanted to restore the sacrifice of his ancestors, which was a matter of course, and I naturally wanted to help him. However, Cao Cao only forbade ordinary people to worship King Chengyang Jing, but did not prohibit him from worshipping his ancestors. Besides, I've already arranged for him......"

Zhang Han smiled maliciously.

"However, I don't think that the sacrifice of King Jingwang of Chengyang cannot be restored. In my opinion, the matter of sacrifice has existed since ancient times, and it has been endless for thousands of years, and it is really the people's need for this, and there is no peace of mind unless it is not. Today it is forbidden to sacrifice Liu Zhang, the king of Chengyang Jing, and tomorrow someone will sacrifice other things, and the harm of the people of Lishu is not in the sacrifice itself, but in the excessive sacrifice ......"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Brother Meng De, Yang Yifarewell, it has been several years in a hurry, and I am really happy to see you with the same face today."

In August of the second year of Zhongping (185), Zhang Han toured

Dongping Mausoleum in Nanjun, Jinan Prime Minister Cao Cao led the crowd out of the city to greet him. Cao Cao or? Dongping Mausoleum in Nanjun, Jinan Prime Minister Cao Cao led the crowd out of the city to greet him. Cao Cao or? Dongping Mausoleum in Nanjun, Jinan Prime Minister Cao Cao led the crowd out of the city to greet him. Cao Cao or? Dongping Mausoleum in Nanjun, Jinan Prime Minister Cao Cao led the crowd out of the city to greet him. Cao Cao or? Dongping Mausoleum in Nanjun, Jinan Prime Minister Cao Cao led the crowd out of the city to greet him. Cao Cao or? Dongping Mausoleum in Nanjun, Jinan Prime Minister Cao Cao led the crowd out of the city to greet him. Cao Cao or? The long eyes were bright, and the face was still the same, but the beard under the chin had grown again. Zhang Han greeted Cao Cao and looked him up and down. Cao Cao was calm and energetic. Zhang Han was secretly amused, Cao Cao seemed to be a natural reformer, and if he couldn't do something, he would be listless. It can be seen that Cao Cao is very satisfied with the days when Jinan showed his strength.

In the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Cao Cao fought in Changshe and made a lot of contributions. After the Yellow Turban was pacified, each had a reward, and Cao Cao was promoted to Jinan as the state minister. Jinan is not a large country, but it has ten counties under its jurisdiction, and it is a very wealthy place. To be honest, it is really difficult for the county magistrates to pay for the official positions they have bought and require them to be honest and honest. As long as it does not exceed the bottom limit, Zhang Han has always been big and small, and it will pass. Obviously, Cao Cao's standards are higher, or rather, he is asserting his authority. Soon after he took office, he impeached six county magistrates on charges of embezzlement and other crimes.

Subsequently, Cao Cao followed Chen Fan's example and banned the ancestral hall of King Jing of Chengyang as an "obscene shrine". Obscene shrines refer to sacrifices that are not stipulated by the state and do not have legitimacy, and Zhang Jiao's Taiping Road is a kind of obscene shrine. Chen Fan was once the Taifu, conspired with the general Dou Wu to kill the eunuchs, and was killed because of the incident. Chen Fan was a famous man whom Cao Cao admired very much when he was a teenager, and when he was the minister of Le'an, he banned the ancestral hall of King Jing of Chengyang as an "obscene shrine".

"Brother Borun, farewell Yangyi. I have heard the name of Zhang Qingzhou for a long time, and I can see it today, and the style is really better than in the past......"

Cao Cao was a little surprised by Zhang Han's enthusiasm, and the two met only a few years ago...... However, this is a good thing, Cao Cao also pays a lot of attention to Zhang Han, just as Zhang Han pays attention to Cao Cao.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Brother Borun. Suddenly, when it comes to this, I don't know what to say? ”

Cao Cao put away the smile outside the Dongping Mausoleum, and was no longer a flourishing literati at the banquet, and looked at Zhang Han vigilantly. No wonder Zhang Han is so friendly, it turned out that he wanted to intercede for the obscene shrine, thinking of beauty. As long as he Cao is in Jinan for a day, this matter will not be mentioned again. Cao Cao was prepared, but he didn't expect Zhang Han to dare to intercede publicly. To Zhang Han, Cao Cao immediately despised three points.

Zhang Han didn't answer, picked up the bamboo skewer and removed the oil lamp, the lamp flashed, and after it was dimmed, it immediately brightened. Zhang Han also put away his smile, talking about state affairs, not who asked for whom. You're welcome, Cao Cao is not a person who can say a few good words.

"Brother Mengde. I don't dare to be a teacher.

Sacrifices have been carried out for thousands of years, but they are really needed by the people. Without it. It's just something you want. The people have a lot of desires, and they can't get the land or the sky, so they will naturally turn to the gods, and if they can't ask for the gods, they will turn to the demons and monsters...... This is the reason why obscenity has been repeatedly banned.

Today, the King of Chengyang Jing is banned, and there may not be Zhonghuang Taiyi tomorrow. In ancient times, Dayu controlled the water. It's better to be sparse than blocked, and the same is true for obscene shrines. I don't know. What does Brother Meng De think? ”

Cao Cao was thoughtful, he was a realist, right is right, wrong is wrong, what Zhang Han said also made sense, but it was not enough to convince him.

"What Brother Borun said may be reasonable. However, obscene shrines deceive the people, accumulate wealth and enrich themselves, which is a disaster for the country and the people......"

Cao Cao's attitude, Zhang Han had already thought about it carefully.

"Brother Meng De, what he said is extremely true, obscenity is harmful, but there are two things: one is to collect money, and the other is to bewitch the people.

I won't say much about demagoguery. As long as the people's lives can be maintained, supplemented by education, obscenity shrines will not be harmful. Those who are obsessed with it are only a few......

The accumulation of wealth is the main scourge of obscenity, but it is not difficult to solve. I think there are three things that work:

First, stipulate the place, scale and frequency of worship of obscene shrines;

The obscene shrine is not a state-prescribed sacrifice, so it is not a place to worship, the number of times and the scale of the sacrifice are worse. The spring and autumn sacrifices are public sacrifices every year, and the obscene shrine can only be sacrificed once a year; And its scale should be smaller than the spring and autumn festivals. According to the practice of the spring and autumn sacrifices, the sacrifice of the obscene shrine is set at half of the spring and autumn sacrifices, and the sacrificial place should not exceed the commune (referring to the official sacrificial place), so it will not be a burden.

second, to make public the accounts of the income and expenditure of the sacrifice;

The accounts are to be read out publicly, how much money has been collected, how much has been spent, where they have been bought, and they are to be published in the form of a proclamation. In this way, it is clear who is going to do something in it.

tertiary supervision;

This should be the duty of the government, and those who do not comply will be banned, and those who violate it will be punished......

Moreover, if you can't benefit from the sacrifice, there will be fewer people who actively promote the earth, and there will naturally be fewer people who are bewitched.

Brother Mengde! ”

When Zhang Han spoke, Cao Cao's mind was also spinning rapidly, according to his opinion, Zhang Han's method was still highly feasible, at least more stable than his method, but among them, there was a difficulty. Cao Cao fell into deep thought, Zhang Han finished speaking, he didn't know. Until Zhang Han waited for a while, he didn't see Cao Cao speak, so he called him. Cao Cao came to his senses and hurriedly apologized.

"Brother Borun, I'm sorry! It's rude! The method that Brother Borun said is extremely appropriate!

But ......"

"It's okay, it's also difficult to come to Brother Mengde......

This matter is related to Cao Cao's prestige, if the order is changed overnight, he will not be able to use it as a state minister. This time, Zhang Han had already considered this matter, which involved vital interests, and only intended to persuade Cao Cao with an incorruptible tongue, which was wishful thinking. However, if some level of understanding can be reached, it will be in the interest of each other.

Cao Cao's face remained unchanged, but his eyes moved, and Zhang Handi's words were speaking in his heart.

"So be it! Brother Meng De, I will issue an order in the name of Qingzhou Assassin Shi to restrict and regulate the ancestral hall of King Jingwang of Chengyang. Brother Meng De, but I don't know!

……”

Cao Cao hesitated, Zhang Han had a good calculation, as soon as you gave the order, I would pretend to be deaf and dumb, okay?, your order is fate

is not a command......

In this way, it is still harmful to Brother Mengde's prestige. However, as soon as the sacrifice of King Jingwang of Chengyang opens, there will be people who are greedy and do not exceed the law......

Brother Meng De dealt with it heavily! ”

Cao Cao was happy, although Zhang Han took advantage, but he didn't suffer a loss, so he didn't know if Liu Jie would vomit blood when he heard this method - Cao Cao naturally also had his news channels, Liu Jie went to visit Zhang Han, Zhang Han kept sending out of the lobby, he already knew.

"Smack!" Cao Cao slapped the table heavily, "I didn't expect Zhang Qingzhou to be such a person!" Hum! ”

In the silence, there was a sudden loud noise, Zhang Han was startled, then calmed down, stood up and arched his hand:

"Brother Meng De, the gentleman will never make a bad noise, and please Brother Meng De respect himself!"

Cao Cao laughed, there was no joy in his voice, the laughter was short, he stopped abruptly after two laughs, and then let out a sneer:

"Gentleman?"

"Brother Meng De is so disrespectful, I have nothing to say to you, farewell!"

Zhang Han was angry and went out of the hall, but Cao Cao didn't go out to see him off, but only shouted loudly behind:

"Don't send it!"

Zhang Han has already gone far, Cao Cao just walked out of the door, this Zhang Qingzhou, quick thinking, thoughtful thinking, a pity! What a man! What a pity! If he can serve the public wholeheartedly, the Han Kingdom will ......

There are no secrets in officialdom. Zhang Han and Cao Cao reunited after a long absence, talked and laughed happily, and even talked about personal knee-making. But it developed to the point of slapping the table, broke up unhappily, and spread all over Dongpingling the next day. The officials of Jinan and the land calculated for a while, and found that one side was the beloved son of Cao Song, the chief farmer, and the top boss; The other party can speak in front of the Spirit Emperor and supervise the big and small officials; None of them can be offended. As a result, the atmosphere in Dongpingling immediately became tense. All the officials were honest and conscientious. I'm afraid something went wrong.

Zhang Tingshi also lived up to expectations, showing the true character of retribution.

The August parade of the assassin was actually not much. One is to record prisoners, that is, to check whether there are unjust, false and wrongful convictions; The other is to check the tactical ability of the local army to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army. But. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty changed the conscription system to a conscription system, and then developed into a hereditary military system passed down from father to son, the second task can basically be ignored -- no matter how bad it is, after practicing for more than ten years since childhood, the basic tactical ability is still there.

Just this one errand, Zhang Han can play countless tricks. It was another case file and an investigation of witnesses, and it was tossed and turned for seven or eight days in a row, and it was quite a posture of retrial. Cao Cao is even more absolute. From the third day, he fell ill, and then went out hunting with a swagger.

Zhang Han investigated several suspicious cases. I found nothing, and I was amazed. No matter how capable Cao Cao is, it is impossible to try all the cases clearly, it is not a matter of will, and sometimes the manpower is exhausted, and it is impossible to do it. However, it can't be found, and Zhang Han can't keep checking it, there are six counties in Qingzhou to patrol. Later, he sent someone to Kyoto to perform the work. The group left Dongpingling unhappily. Cao Cao was still ill and did not come to see him off. The officials of Jinan couldn't help but say that this matter was going to make a big fuss.

After traveling for two days, he was about to leave Jinan and enter Pingyuan County. On this day, Xi Zhicai slapped his thigh suddenly and shouted: "Fooled! Fooled! Cao Jinan hid these suspicious case files, and made people secretly communicate the news, which is clearly a sound attack, and I am sure that there must be problematic ...... hidden in those ordinary case files."

Zhang Han woke up and thought about it carefully, it must be so, it's a pity!

"Lord, Zhang Qingzhou's industry has left the country, even if he wakes up, it will be too late! The lord struck the west and really hid it, but what can I do in the coming year? ”

Zhang Han has been sitting in the position of Qingzhou Thorn History for five years, and he is as immobile as a mountain, and he will probably be in the coming year. Cao Cao laughed, "Let's talk about the next year in the coming year, I can fool him this year, and the next year will be the same......"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

At the end of September of the second year of Zhongping (185), Zhang Han issued the Qingzhou Assassin Decree, requiring all counties to clarify and standardize the sacrifices of King Jingwang of Chengyang.

In October, a small sacrifice was held in Jinan's Guosu County, the original fiefdom of King Jingwang of Chengyang, and Cao Cao, the prime minister of Jinan, pretended not to know. Subsequently, more than ten sacrifices occurred in various counties of Jinan, two of which slightly exceeded the norms, and Cao Cao did not care.

In early November, in addition to Dongping Mausoleum, nine of the ten counties in Jinan have worshiped King Jingwang of Chengyang. Among them, there are many transgressions.

On November 17, the Dongpingling Liu Festival held a grand sacrifice to King Jingwang of Chengyang, which seriously exceeded the norms. Cao Cao personally went out and led the county soldiers to surround the scene, and Liu Jie tried to resist and was killed on the spot. Liu Jie is a wealthy family in Dongpingling, hiding more than 1,000 guests at home, becoming a thief and entering the chaos of officials. Cao Cao took down all his guests in one go, and corrected the criminal code.

The country of Jinan is a solemnity, and there is no one who dares to cross again. Zhang Han sent a letter to severely reprimand the matter, and Cao Cao took advantage of the reason, and the document that answered was reasonable, the text was beautiful, and the scene at that time was depicted in detail, so vivid that the reader felt as if he was there--the text was recited in Qingzhou for a while, and it added a few points to Cao Cao's fame.

Zhang Han could not impeach Cao Cao, so he wrote to the counties, asking why he could not assassinate Shi Ling, and praised Cao Cao lavishly. All the counties and countries knew that this was a disaster of pond fish, and they didn't want to become the target of Zhang Han's venting, so the sacrificial order was carried out in Qingzhou.

Subsequently, Cao Cao rectified the rule of officials in Jinan State, implemented education, and under the order, he did not dare to disobey, so he carried out politics and religion, and a county was cleared. Cao Jinan's reputation is even louder,

All in all, in this incident, Cao Cao gained fame and face; Zhang Han settled Qingzhou and got the lining, and both sides were happy.

ps: Zhang Han has already gone far, Cao Cao just walked out of the door, this Zhang Qingzhou is quick and thoughtful, it's a pity! He turned out to be a wise man! Is......
