"Guo Jia is dead?"

Huangfu Jian stood in front of a mansion surnamed Chen, and said with some surprise.

Cheng Yu said: "Yes." Cao Cao was very sad and is said to have cried and fainted several times. ”

Huangfu pouted and said, "The superficial skills of these people are really good, if I can do it, I will be able to pay homage to the marquis in the future." ”

Cheng Yu did not comment on the second son's straightforwardness, but said: "There is also news that Lu Bu is quite respectful to Cao Cao, and he must be called 'Cao Gong', there is a ...... Parlance. ”

Huangfu Jian watched the guards of the Imperial City Mansion raid the house in the mansion surnamed Chen, and said casually: "What do you say?" ”

Cheng Yu's expression was a little uncomfortable, and he said, "If there is something good, it will be said...... Things are like fathers. ”

Huangfu's long brows couldn't help jumping, and he couldn't control it.

Turning his head, he opened his mouth slightly, and looked at Cheng Yu with a stunned expression.

Cheng Yu was as uncomfortable as constipation, and nodded with difficulty.

Lu Bu, but he has already killed two fathers in a row.

The corners of Huangfu Jian's mouth twitched, and he just wanted to continue asking, when he suddenly heard a scream inside, as if someone had fled and was suddenly slashed and killed.

Huangfu Jian stopped talking and said, "Let Lao Shi hurry up, we still have to go and reveal those treasures." Can't let Jia Xu take the lead. ”

Huangfu Jian was worried that Jia Xu was playing tricks, so he took out those treasures and money and food first and gave them to Cao Cao.

Cheng Yu said: "This is the last one, and it is related to Dong Zhuo and other rebellions, and it is almost cleaned up." ”

Huangfu Jian hummed, touched his chin, and said thoughtfully: "With Dong Zhuo's, we have caught enough this time...... Your Majesty should be satisfied. ”

Cheng Yu heard Huangfu Jianchang mention Liu Wei, and suddenly said: "I don't know where it came from, it is said that His Majesty is secretly drafted, from Cao Cao and below, including Liu Xuan, Tian Feng and others, they are all secretly paying attention to the women of the good family, and I heard that there are as many as seventeen, ready to be sent to Luoyang." ”

Huangfu Jian was taken aback and said, "Did they really do this?" ”

Cheng Yu nodded and said, "It's quite hidden, but it can't hide from our secret agents." ”

Huangfu Jian shook his head a little helplessly, and said: "Your Majesty said before that the upward and downward effects, a glance from the superior may cause a huge disaster somewhere, and it is true." ”

Cheng Yu originally wanted to persuade Huangfu Jianchang to join the ranks, but when he heard this, he immediately swallowed it back into his stomach.

Huangfu Jian Chang ignored these, cleaned them up, and hurriedly left Xiapi.

Xun Yu made full arrangements in Yu and Xu Erzhou, waited for a little stability, and also took Liu Yu and set off back to Beijing.

He had been delayed outside for too long, and it was the end of the year, and he, the right servant and servant Cao Shangshu, couldn't leave for too long.

Xun You took many people from Yu and Xu Erzhou, among which Yingchuan was the most.

Zhao Yun escorted them, cautious along the way, but he still encountered many bandits, but how could they be Zhao Yun's opponents?

Cao Cao and Jia Xu stood on a high ground, looking at it from afar, as if they could still see Liu Yu and Xun You's convoy.

Jia Xu seemed to see through Cao Cao's thoughts, and said, "The general is worried about the imperial court? ”

Cao Cao's face was gloomy, with a sad look, he sighed indifferently, and said, "I'm not too worried." ”

Jia Xu glanced at Lu Bu, who was standing not far behind him, waiting for a short time, and said, "General, it's better to be quiet than to be still, after pacifying Dong Zhuo, the court needs to be quiet now." ”

Cao Cao nodded imperceptibly, and the sadness on his face became even stronger.

Guo Jia's death hit him hard.

Before Guo Jia left, he told him not to worry about the court, he was not worried, he was sad, all because of the loss of Guo Jia, he was a little hesitant, and he didn't know what to do next.

Jia Xu has suggestions, but he also knows the truth of 'talking shallow and deep', so he can only wait for the opportunity.

"Sun Ce escaped?" It's been a long time, Cao Cao said.

Jia Xu said: "Yes, Yuan Shao was plotting against Wu County, and he suddenly led his troops away on the grounds of resisting rebellion. ”

Cao Cao was not surprised, or rather, he deliberately let him go, and said, "What about Liu Bei?" ”

Jia Xu said: "I went to Langya County and handed over to Sima Envoy Jun of Qingzhou, before the imperial court had no will, he was still the pastor of Xuzhou." ”

Cao Cao took a deep breath and said, "Go and meet Liu Xuan." ”

Liu Miao is about to become the pastor of Yuzhou, and Cao Cao is the general of Yuzhou.

When Cao Cao turned around, Jia Xu didn't see any sadness on his face, but more of a determined look.

Jia Xu secretly felt strange in his heart, thinking of Guo Jia's conversation with him before leaving.

'General Cao is a man with an iron heart, don't try to bewitch him, or you will die. ’

Jia Xu adhered to the character of being cautious in words and deeds, and accompanied Cao Cao.

"General Cao, there is something important to report at the end!" Lu Bu raised his hand to Cao Cao, looking serious and sincere.

Since the surrender, the 'reuse' that he originally thought had not happened, and was thrown to Cao Cao by Xun You, and Cao Cao was 'abandoned' to him.

No matter how 'filial' Lu Bu was, Cao Cao was lukewarm and very detached.

Cao Cao walked past Lu Bu as if he hadn't seen it.

Lu Bu looked at Cao Cao's back, his eyes widened, and he hated and angry in his heart, but he couldn't help it.

His soldiers and horses were all taken away by Cao Cao, and he had no strength except for a few personal soldiers.

And Liu Xuan, Tian Feng and others are busy discussing the 'restoration' of Yuzhou after the war, which is a very complicated and arduous task.

But with their continuous efforts, the chaotic Yuzhou has stabilized visibly with the naked eye.

At the same time, the news of 'extinguishing Dong Zhuo and recovering Yu Xu' had already spread throughout Luoyang City.

The atmosphere in Luoyang City quickly rose, the streets and alleys were full of discussions, and the morale of the people was greatly boosted.

In the fifth year of Yonghan, in the middle of November, the first snow was a little late.

Liu Wei, who has always been good at snow, walked in Fanglin Garden, stepped on the snow, happily looked at the flowers and trees in Fanglin Garden, and said with a smile to Xun Yu behind him: "Qing family, how is the snow scene in this imperial garden?" ”

Xun Yu already had an old face, after a year of busyness, he looked even more 'old', looked at the snow scene, and said with a smile: "This scene is unique, the minister has never seen it in other places, I think it was designed by His Majesty himself." ”

Liu Wei smiled more and said, "I've been polishing it for several years, and I finally have some looks." ”

Xun Yu had no intention of appreciating the snow, and glanced at the pavilion not far away, it was steaming, the tea had obviously been boiled for a long time, and standing on the side was a delicate woman he had never seen before.

Xun Yu's expected Liu Wei stopped to talk about the business did not happen, Liu Wei continued to walk, and said: "This snow, it is different every year, I never get tired of watching it, does the Qing family have any ideas for writing some songs?" ”

Xun Yu looked at Liu Wei's side face, secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "The ministers are shallow in their studies, and they are afraid of making Your Majesty laugh." ”

He entered the palace today, not because of the elimination of Dong Zhuo, but because of the result of 'clearing the fields and acres and registering households'.

Under strong pressure from Liu, the prefectures and counties revised it again and again, and reported a relatively reliable number.

Xun Yu followed behind Liu Bian, following in the footsteps.

His Majesty in front knew the purpose of his entry into the palace, but he didn't speak, obviously he already knew, but he was still not satisfied.

Liu Wei came to a plum blossom, stretched out his hand and gently folded it down, shaking off a lot of snow.

Xun Yu looked at the truncated new branch, was silent for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the overall is reliable. ”

"Yanzhou 3.8 million, Jizhou 1.2 million, Qingzhou 3 million, Youzhou 2 million, Sili 2.2 million, and Bingzhou, only 400,000 ......"

Liu Wei looked back at Xun Yu and said with a smile: "Qing family, do you believe such data?" The combined population of these six states is only 12 million, and during the Zhongping period, there were 10 million households in our Han Dynasty, with a population of about 50 million, and the richest six states were only one-fifth......"

Xun Yu was just about to speak, Liu Wei raised his head slightly, and said: "The cultivated land area of the six states is only two million hectares, less than one-third of the Zhongping years...... Qing family, do you want to persuade me to believe it? ”

Xun Yu saw that Liu Wei was so penetrating, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is not blaming or believing it, it's just that if he is forced, the minister is afraid of change." The country is in turmoil, and we must work together, and we should focus on gentleness and should not be too harsh. ”

Most of the reasons why these figures can be obtained are that Liu Wei repeatedly exerted pressure to force Shang Shutai and the chief officials of local prefectures and counties.

These high-pressure methods, Shang Shutai and the imperial court are quite complaining, not to mention the local emperors.

Liu Wei was noncommittal to Xun Yu's words, looked into Xun Yu's eyes, and said: "In this Luoyang City, the gangs and factions of officials are either me or the enemy. The marriage of the big families is in series, and the iron plate is one. The local state pastors, the county guards, and the big families, all tried their best to increase their strength--cleverly plundering, exacting taxes and miscellaneous taxes, enclosing land and cultivating private soldiers, ......"

Xun Yu bowed slightly and did not argue.

This is a fact, a well-known fact.

The decline of the Han family, the decline of imperial power, the most direct embodiment, in addition to the appearance of the ministers, the local head and brain also began to gradually dominate one side, self-formed forces, for the orders of the court, from the beginning of the cautious, then selective acceptance, to the final deaf, the time taken is actually very short.

Liu Wei didn't mean to embarrass him, and said: "Generally speaking, there are few people in the land now, and the Qing family thinks that the resettlement of displaced people and the division of land, although it is not possible for everyone to have their land for the time being, but it should not be difficult, right?" ”

Xun Yu groaned slightly and said, "It's not difficult. ”

Liu Wei raised his eyebrows, and said with some surprise: "What the Qing family said is not difficult?" ”

Xun Yu raised his hand, his face was serious, and said, "Your Majesty, judging from the performance of various states and counties, the land is enough. ”

Liu Wei thought about it carefully and said, "What about Qingzhuang? ”

In addition to being keen on enclosures, there are also young people who raise young and strong, gather and hide a large number of young and strong as private servants and private soldiers.

Xun Yu said: "Shang Shutai decided to limit the tenant rent and other restrictions to ensure that the people's harvest can at least be satisfied. ”

Liu Wei's expression moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "Come, the Qing family sits down and says." ”

Most of the income of the big families comes from the tenant rent, and once the tenant rent is limited, it will be a hammer for the big family.

Liu Wei walked to the small pavilion not far away, sat down straight, and picked up the teapot.

Xun Yu sat down opposite Liu Wei and glanced at the strange woman.

The woman sat down respectfully, and the silent Liu Wei fiddled with the tea set.

Liu Wei poured a cup of tea for Xun Yu and said: "The Qing family's governance this year, I see it in my eyes, generally speaking, taking into account the overall situation, protecting the people's livelihood, taking appropriate measures, moderate and orderly, there are no big ups and downs, and the northern states are stable and upward, and I am very satisfied." ”

Hearing Liu Wei's words, Xun Yu quietly breathed a long sigh of relief.

Facing His Majesty in front of him, Xun Yu has always been under pressure. Don't talk about him, Yang Biao, the inaction prime minister in front, has not been recognized.

"Drink tea,"

Liu Wei put down the teapot, looked relaxed, and said: "Cao Cao, Hu Cao's Shangshu, don't change, you will continue to serve as a part-time person." ”

Xun Yu knew that this was a 'reward', picked up the teacup, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Liu Wei took a sip of tea and waved his hand.

Pan Yin understood, gave the people around him a look, and quietly retreated.

When the others left, Liu Wei held the teacup and said with a smile: "Regarding next year's yuan change, Jian'an, well, not bad." Regarding the establishment of the prince, I belong to Liu Shao, but if I don't establish it for the time being, the Qing family will know it. ”

Xun Yu was slightly stunned, and then said: "The minister understands." ”

Saying 'understood', Xun Yu's heart was secretly tight.

It stands to reason that His Majesty in front of him finally relented about the matter of Lichu, which had been disturbed for many years, and the dust had finally settled, which was a huge reassuring agent for the government and the opposition.

But Xun Yu understands very well that His Majesty in front of him has given him such a great 'benefit', and as the prime minister, he has to represent the court and make a relatively huge 'response'.

Liu Wei turned the teacup in his hand, stared at Xun Yu with his eyes, and continued to smile: "Yuzhou Mu, Liu Yu will be Liu Yu, and Xuzhou Mu will also give that Liu Bei." I approved Shang Shutai's request and did not immediately implement the 'New Deal', but put stability first. ”

Xun Yu bowed again, and his heart was like a big stone.

Liu Wei took a sip of tea lightly and said, "It's okay not to use troops in the next two years." ”

Xun Yu's scalp is a little tight, this 'benefit' is too much!

Seeing that Xun Yu didn't speak, Liu Wei laughed again and said, "Don't be so nervous, I don't have any excessive requirements." ”

Xun Yu didn't dare to raise his head and said, "I respectfully ask Your Majesty for instructions." ”

Liu Wei put down the teacup, pretended to groan for a while, and said: "First, the merger of counties and counties should be accelerated, there are too many counties. Second, the armor protection system should be implemented, and there should be no perfunctory responsibility. Third, the abolition of the county state cannot be delayed. Fourth, the reform of taxation must be clearly implemented. Fifth, the separation of military administration from military administration should be further promoted. Sixth, 'household registration and land clearance' will continue. Seventh, land division should be implemented as soon as possible. Eighth, for some stubborn families, forcibly relocated to Jiangdong. Ninth, reclamation continues. Tenth ......"

Xun Yu listened to Liu Wei's words that were neither salty nor light, and had no momentum, and felt that his breathing was a little unsmooth.

Where are a few, there are ten in the blink of an eye!

Some seem to be neither light nor heavy, but when it comes to implementation, every resistance is unusually large!

Xun Yu bowed and listened word for word, thinking about how to bargain.

He is well aware of the temperament of His Majesty in front of him, and he is a person who can 'discuss', provided that he finds the right direction.

Liu Wei said a lot, and then turned his head and said: "Qing family, there are too many officials in Yingchuan, press it." ”

This sentence is nothing short of thunder for Xun Yu.
