Chapter 168: Liu Billion
Most of the local scholars, wang clans, and Haoyou in Jizhou are hundred-year-old families, and many families have existed before Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiucheng became powerful in Hebei, and the accumulation of generation after generation, generation after generation of marriages, and generation after generation of annexation of fertile land to conceal private farmers, making them become the existence of transcending imperial power in the local area.
As soon as the three mutual laws of the imperial court came out, the land of Jizhou could not even elect officials with the right status to take office, so it is conceivable how deep the heritage of the local noble family will be.
They control the industry in Jizhou, and use it to clamp down on the official office, so that the assassins of each term, or the Taishou of the counties, have no choice but to cooperate with them calmly.
However, the forces and people with the most difficult rules often only need the simplest answers and the least number of rules to be defeated!
The imperial power is undefeated, and those Li Shuneng who have suffered a lot!
The people at the bottom who have been exploited and oppressed by the noble family for a hundred years have finally found an outlet.
Under the slogan of "Heaven makes up for equalization", the people at the bottom struck hard at the bloodsucking families who were accustomed to standing on the top of the pyramid!
I thought that after the Yellow Turban Uprising, everything would be back on track, but the Haoyou really miscalculated this time.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion seems to be just the beginning.
Those who are usually called "savages" by them can shake their existence.
All the families who were accustomed to standing at the top and overlooking the wild people did not expect that a simple sentence of 'Junping' could mobilize the sky-high anger that had been oppressed for a hundred years, and it became more and more intense.
The growth rate of the Montenegrin Army and the speed at which they absorbed the displaced people were far beyond Haoyou's imagination.
To deal with imperial power, they can make use of their connections, economics, and politics.
They can also make use of their connections to finance and politics against local officials.
But as far as dealing with those rebels who are crazy, just want them to die and ask them to hand over their wealth, their methods of dealing with the imperial court and government offices are bullshit.
There is nothing more terrible than someone who doesn't even want his life.
I don't know how the wang clans of other states and counties should deal with this situation, but for the county wang hao right of wei county, zhao guo, julu, qinghe and other places, the only person who can solve their current troubles is the newly appointed envoy liu.
But Liu Jian didn't make any moves at the moment.
Many people in Jizhou know that Liu Jian had some friendship with Tian Feng in the past, and when he disposed of the three wealthy families of Zhending, he relied on Tian Feng to travel in Julu and Changshan countries, and persuaded several major families for him.
In Jizhou, others have no friendship with Liu Jian, only Tian Feng has this face.
Therefore, at the request of the four counties, there was this scene where Tian Feng came to see Liu Jian today.
I heard Tian Feng start a verbal bombardment:
"Envoy, now Wei County and Zhao State are very harassed by the Black Mountain army, the people of the counties are unbearable, and the private property of many local clans in Wubao is seized by thieves, and the state is turbulent, when this season, it is the time for the king to use force to stabilize the people,"
"But the king just sits in the hall every day, ignoring the famine, war, and suffering, and turning a deaf ear."
"May I ask you, is this what a pastoral guard should do? Is this what a wise man should do? ”
"Is this what a trusted minister should do?"
"Is this what a pillar of the country, a barrier of the state and county, should do?"
Tian Feng asked Liu Jian a lot of questions, showing his straight man's true colors.
Liu Jian now understands why this Tian Feng was killed by Yuan Shao in history.
Maybe he's a wise man, maybe he's a straightforward man.
But when he speaks, he really doesn't save face.
This is still Liu Jian's absence of anyone else, Liu Jian feels awkward.
If you say that you are suitable for talent, if you ask directly in front of a group of subordinates, where will Liu Jian's face go?
Liu Jian felt that he couldn't hang his face, don't you say Yuan Shao has to feel more disgraced?
If Liu Jian hadn't known some of Tian Feng's personality problems, he would actually want to kill him.
There are some things that really don't blame Yuan Shao.
He was really angry when he spoke.
Liu Jian took a deep breath and tried to suppress the fire that surged in his heart.
Then, I saw Liu Jian stand up and give Tian Feng a long salute.
"Sir's words made Jian Mao suddenly open and ashamed."
Tian Feng couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that after he sprayed Liu Jian "so uprightly", the other party could still make such a sincere attitude.
He was actually ready to be blasted out by Liu Jian.
But I really didn't expect it......
Tian Feng also stood up: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, Tian has lived for more than 40 years, and it's the first time I've seen someone as humble and courteous as an envoy, Tian Feng is ashamed ......."
Liu Jian smiled when he heard Tian Feng say this.
However, I heard Tian Feng continue:
"It's just that even though the king is humble, Tian Feng still wants to say that the behavior of the envoy to Jizhou this time is really disappointing, in fact, Feng can also understand, he suddenly became a high position at a young age, and it is inevitable that he will be complacent, but the husband must not lose his mouth when he speaks in the world, and he must not get carried away! Please think about it! ”
Liu Jian really wanted to give Tian Feng a kick.
Are you embarrassed to say that I can't lose my mouth? ”
Look at yourself in this horn.
But seeing Liu Jian sigh lightly, he said: "Mr. Yuan Hao, it's not a secret, it's not that I don't want to do things, it's just that I have just arrived in Jizhou now, and I have no soldiers and horses in my hands, and there are no available people. ”
Tian Feng said: "The envoy is in charge of the four counties and has two million people, how can he say that there are no usable people?" ”
Liu Jian said: "Although the people are here, but Jizhou just went through the Zhangjiao Rebellion last year, and the soldiers and horses of the Assassin Department and the counties were exhausted, and now the main generals of the imperial court are all in Liangzhou to fight against Beigong Boyu, I can't write to ask Your Majesty to send troops to help." ”
Tian Feng said: "Could it be that Jun, as the head of a state, can't recruit more than 10,000 strong people on his own?" ”
Liu Jian sighed and said: "Mr. Yuan Hao, you are also a native of Jizhou, naturally you know, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zhang Jiao invaded the counties, seized the Cangqiao arsenal, the former Taishou in various places were either killed, or abandoned the city and fled, the warehouses of the counties and counties of Jizhou were all plundered, and now the Taicang materials of the imperial court are used for the western expedition, even if I write to Your Majesty, there is no money and food supply, and I am still short of food and money for this pastoral office, please teach me Tian Gong, what do I take to conscript?" In fact, I just want to wait until next year, bring enough money to eat, save enough rice, and then deal with everything. ”
Tian Feng sighed: "Envoy, if you just don't have money and food, why don't you just open your mouth?" It has to be postponed until now! How much money do you need, how much grain and grain, Tian will ask the Jizhou families and ask for it for the envoy! ”
Liu Jian said: "Such a cheeky thing, I swear not to do it!" ”
Tian Feng is such a wise man.
If Liu Jian really "swore not to do it", he would not have said this to himself here.
If he wants to capture the method of indulgence, he Tian Feng has lived for more than forty years, and he can naturally see it.
But from Liu Jian's point of view, this is a matter of etiquette, and it is also related to the face of his pastor of a state.
Tian Feng could only cooperate with him.
So, Liu Jian pushed hard.
Tian Feng is eager to help.
After pulling like this for a long time, Liu Jian finally accepted Tian Feng's kindness "helplessly".
"That being the case, then Liu can only brazenly implore Mr. to raise food and build an army for a certain person."
Tian Feng nodded and said, "Okay, but I don't know how much food is needed for the envoy to recruit soldiers?" I'll go and raise money for the envoy. ”
Liu Jian clenched his left hand into a fist and said to Tian Feng:
"It's not much, I did a rough calculation, and I can barely form an army with only one billion dollars in the initial stage."
