Greedy for grain and rice for disaster relief, this can occur in any dynasty, and the probability is even higher in troubled times.

Zheng Ping has insight into people's hearts and knows that it is inevitable that the powerful and evil officials who will be greedy for disaster relief grain and rice cannot be avoided.

If there are interests, there will be people who will take risks.

What difference does it make to them about the lives and deaths of these hungry people?

Even the servant Shi Houwen will fill his own pockets with disaster relief grain and rice, how can Zheng Ping believe that the officials of Ande County will serve the people wholeheartedly.

If the evil officials have a greedy heart and a strong and powerful intention to gather food, Zheng Ping doesn't mind letting these powerful and evil officials who want to take the opportunity to make a fortune know what is the same crime of buying and selling, and what is ruthlessness of the law.

At present, yellow scarves are prevalent, but most of the yellow scarves are wronged people, Li Shu, who has a grievance in his heart that is difficult to vent.

To appease the lives of this group of forbidden powerful and evil officials, it is tantamount to a tool for venting anger sent to the door.

As for whether it will cause backlash?

There is no perfect decision in this world.

If you don't dare to exert your might and power against the powerful and evil officials who violate the law and discipline, then Zheng Ping's ambition in the world will not be established.

If the heart is not ruthless, how can you determine the world?

After Deng Xu's reminder, Guan Zan didn't dare to be a little snubbed.

"Captain Deng, that's Mr. Rong, a hermit outside Ande City, who is quite famous." Guan Zan is also reciprocating.

There are many famous scholars in Pingyuan County.

There are famous people like Hua Xin, as well as famous people such as Liu, Guan, Gao, Xi, Yi, Yan, Rong, Ximen, Bing, and other local wealthy families or scholars who appear in the countryside.

And the old Mr. Rong in Guan Zan's mouth is a scholar of the Rong family, because he was disappointed by the corruption of the officials, so he chose to retreat to the mountains and forests, not seeking to be accessible, but only to be worthy of his heart, and he was intoxicated with mountains and rivers all day long.

This is the choice of many Qingliushi people in this era.

Deng Xu suddenly realized.

The old gentleman Rong in front of him must have heard of Liu Bei's reputation and saw through Deng Xu's purpose, so he chose to help Deng Xu gather the hearts of the people in the Yellow Turban.

"In charge of the county order, the government is the time to employ people, if there are more hermits like Mr. Rong to support the government king, presumably this matter of appeasing the yellow scarf will become easier."

The governing philosophy of the boss often affects the administrative attitude of the subordinates.

Liu Bei is dedicated to saving the people, and Deng Xu will also be affected by Liu Bei's benevolence in his actions.

Since there are hermits like Mr. Rong who can appease these yellow turbans, why can't there be more?

Guan Zan was a little hesitant: "But these hermits are unwilling to go out to retreat to the mountains and forests, how can they support the monarch?" ”

"It's okay, when Juncheng comes, there will naturally be a way." mentioned Zheng Ping, Deng Xu's eyes were a little more convinced.

Guan Zan was taken aback: "Juncheng is coming to Ande County?" ”

Deng Xu nodded: "This time the Yellow Turban in Ande County was originally commanded by the county. ”

Seeing Guan Zan's surprise, Deng Xu smiled again: "Don't use such an expression, Jun Cheng is not just a politician, this time I can defeat the main force of the Yellow Turban outside Ande City in one battle, all thanks to Jun Cheng's plan." ”

The shock in Guan Zan's heart was even worse!

It's dusk.

Zheng Ping led 800 soldiers to Ande City.

Seeing the county soldiers who were all cleaned and killed, the yellow turbans outside the city were old and weak, and they were shocked again.

"Juncheng!"

Deng Xu, Guan Zan and others stepped forward to salute.

Zheng Ping glanced at everyone, but there was an aura of not being angry and arrogant under the seemingly warm eyes.

"Why didn't the county lieutenant come here?"

The faint inquiry made Guan Zan surprised.

Guan Zan hurriedly said: "The lower official has already sent someone to pass it on." ”

But in his heart, Guan Zan couldn't help but scold Chen Shi all over again.

The county commander came, but the county lieutenant didn't come to greet him, isn't this embarrassing for him?

"Can the grain in the county still be turned?" Zheng Ping did not get angry, but asked about the food for relief.

Guan Zan didn't dare to hide it, and said truthfully: "Juncheng, there is not enough grain in this county, and the lower officials borrow grain from the big families in the city. Although it can solve the urgent need for a while, it is impossible for the grain of large households to be lent all the time, and I am afraid that it will not last long. ”

It is easy to break a yellow scarf, but it is very troublesome to place a yellow scarf.

After all, most of these yellow scarves are yellow scarves that they choose to be because they can't eat.

There have always been only two ways to solve the problem of yellow turbans.

One is like Huangfu Song, who does not accept prisoners and kills them when he sees them, even if these yellow turbans are caught, they have to dig a pit and bury them.

Then build a capital temple to deter those who want to rebel.

This way, simple and crude, works.

After all, the rebellious Yellow Turban is dead, so naturally there is no need to solve the food problem of the Yellow Turban.

The other is to use both suppression and appeasement to exterminate the recalcitrant yellow scarves and appease the rest of the yellow turbans who are coerced or willing to surrender.

This method is more benevolent, but it is more difficult to implement than the first one.

If you want to be appeased, you have to give them land, food, and help them restore their homes.

This is not something that can be easily done.

Even if there are a lot more ownerless fields due to the war, they can be allocated to the Yellow Turbans.

But this grain does not grow out of the ground in an instant.

If you want food, you can only distribute it to the big households who have it.

But how could these big households easily distribute grain to the yellow turbans?

The big households in Ande City were willing to borrow grain, because they didn't want to offend Liu Bei at this time, so they would lend a part of the grain to Guan Zan to express their cooperation.

But this borrowing of grain also has a scale, and it can't make large households feel that there is too much loss of interests.

"Immediately convene the speakers of the big households in the city, and after half an hour, the county government will discuss the matter!" Zheng Ping acted resolutely, and almost without the slightest hesitation, he gave an order to Guan Zan.

After Guan Zan left, Deng Xu approached Zheng Ping and said in a low voice: "Jun Cheng, this time I was able to appease the yellow scarves outside the city, thanks to the help of the hermit Mr. Rong." ”

"The lower officials think that when the prince of the government is employing people, a hermit who is famous in the countryside like Mr. Rong should be allowed to serve the country."

"But the lower officials are soft-spoken, and it is difficult to extend the invitation."

Deng Xu briefly stated Mr. Rong's cooperation with the pacification of the yellow scarf to Zheng Ping.

"Captain Deng, you have a heart! When I return to the county office, I will definitely do my best for you. Zheng Ping did not hesitate to appreciate.

Deng Xu couldn't hide the joy in his tone: "It's all for the government, and the officials don't dare to take credit." ”

Mr. Rong's surname is Rong Mingzhen, and his character is De, and he is now nearly seventy years old.

Zheng Ping came to Rong Zhen, turned over and dismounted, and made a gift to his juniors.

"Zheng Ping, the son of Zheng Xuan in Beihai, has seen Mr. Rong."

"I am fortunate to have Mr. help today, and the younger generation is not very grateful."

Rong Zhen saw that Zheng Ping was a junjun but gave himself a junior salute, where did he dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "Juncheng is old, if it weren't for the benevolence of the prince and the county, the old man would have died today." ”
