Chapter 22 Yuan Shu's Superfluous
"Daijun?!" Even though he was in a state of receiving the order, Liu Ming couldn't help but exclaim.
Let alone him, the generals behind him also felt that this appointment was really wrong!
Didn’t it be agreed that it belongs to Zhuo County?!
"Well! Why, County Magistrate Liu is questioning Your Majesty's will?" Xiao Huangmen, who announced the order, ignored these things, and asked with a good tone of provoking a military force to question the crime.
"I dare not, I will accept the order!" Liu Ming did not want to oppose the Han Empire, so he could only accept the order obediently.
Seeing that the announcement was over, Xiaohuangmen looked at Liu Ming straight, as if he was looking forward to something.
In fact, Liu Ming didn't know so many things, and the generals around him were rarely sensible. Cheng Yu understood, but with his character, he was disdainful. Fortunately, Song Qian was pretty good at it, so he came to Liu Ming's ear and whispered: "Lord, reward money!"
Only then did Liu Ming realize that these eunuchs and priests were very rich. How could they go back to report their orders after they came all the way?
If it were before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it might have been blackmailed. Now there are chaos everywhere. The older and experienced Huangmen naturally did not dare to leave the palace easily, so they had to send a small Huangmen out of the palace.
It is because he was young and ignorant, otherwise those experienced Huangmen would have already held a grudge and waved their sleeves away. Even if they catch up with him again, it would be difficult for him to feel relieved without paying a ten-fold reward.
If the yellow gate is uncomfortable, you will naturally have to chew your ears when you go back. If the yellow gate fails to get the commission, and when you hear the yellow gate chewing your ears, you will hold a grudge and say a few bad words in front of the emperor if you have something to do...
For example, "Liu Ming has a self-respecting force, perhaps a suspicion of rebellion." Then, "a bloody case caused by rewards" may really happen.
As soon as he thought of this, Liu Ming immediately took out a purse and handed it to Xiaohuangmen in a hidden way, saying kindly: "A little money for tea and water, my father-in-law worked hard all the way. I prepared some wine and food in the mansion, and I hope my father-in-law will appreciate his face!"
"The family came out just to do something for His Majesty. What's the hard work?" Xiaohuangmen looked righteous, but the money bag in Liu Ming's hand disappeared soon.
No one saw Xiaohuangmen taking action, but the wallet did enter his sleeve. Everyone can be sure of this, after all, it was indeed a little bulging out there.
Liu Ming personally arranged people to prepare a banquet for Xiaohuangmen, and all the receptions were perfect until he left.
The little yellow gate was satisfied. After going out, I got five golden cakes, which could be exchanged for about five hundred jin of jin. At that time, thirty or fifty jin of jin were left, and the rest would be dedicated to the adoptive father Zhao Zhong. I should be able to stand out from among the other adopted sons, right?
As for Liu Ming and the others, they held a meeting to discuss the issue of where to go.
Just the second day after Xiaohuangmen left, almost as soon as he left, the letter of explanation sent by the clan arrived. The letter stated that they had already fought for it, and even other people who did not belong to their power were helping to fight for it. However, thousands of words could not match Zhang Rang's words, and the county magistrate changed the place.
As an apology, the clans were willing to increase the servants to two million, with young women accounting for 55%. In addition, the horses were increased to 50,000, and the money was doubled. The only requirement was that Liu Ming could no longer send troops to suppress the bandits.
At this moment, the Battle of Changshe finally started, but the Zhang brothers were still there. It would have been a month or two before they officially settled the score with them. If Liu Ming went south to kill them, it would not be fun.
In Jizhou, Yuan Qi can attach great importance to it. If the official position in Jizhou cannot be freed up to the maximum extent, then for Yuan Qi, this game will not be considered a victory. In fact, a large part of the things sent as an apology were collected by Yuan Qi.
Before he knew it, he went south and not only offended Cao Cao, but also offended Yuan’s family behind Yuan Shao. After Liu Ming understood this, he was really amused and crying.
The first batch of 300,000 slaves began to arrive. After all, they were living people, so they naturally could not be sent all of them. The food and grass needed along the way, the slave contracts and other things needed to be prepared slowly, and it is inevitable that they will be delivered one by one.
These are not refugees, but real domestic slaves. Most of them are refugees who are enslaved by the Yellow Turban thieves, or they are their families of the Yellow Turban thieves. After the Yellow Turban thieves were wiped out, these prisoners had only two choices: either be killed or bought as slaves.
Those who were about to die were all dead. In Changshe, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song killed 300,000 Yellow Turban prisoners. Those who were about to live became slaves and had all contracts. Unless Liu Ming released them, they would have to change their surname to Liu in this life.
The resettlement work was carried out smoothly under the operation of Tian Chou and Liu Ergou. Cheng Yu, who is now in charge of the public security and law work in Han County, also needs to coordinate in the center to avoid these servants' chaos.
In fact, Liu Ming felt a headache about how to place these 300,000 servants. Other families only needed to send them to branches in various places to quickly absorb them. Most of them were used for military farming production, and a few strong soldiers were trained to be soldiers. Even if there were three million slaves, the families could absorb them.
But the problem is that he is the only one in Liu Ming’s family, and no one around can help him absorb it.
Gao Shun deserves to be his teacher, and whispered to him: "You can give it to those who have made contributions."
Only then did Liu Ming realize that this was also a rare opportunity to win over people's hearts. Even if it would cause pain to other people.
According to Zhang Fei's statistics, the merits of the bandit suppression were quickly counted. According to these merits, each person who has made merit can get at least two servants and up to five hundred servants.
After one round of reward, there were 300,000 servants, but there were 200,000 servants. Liu Ming was so angry that he selected twenty men and women as servant maids, and the rest were all released. However, it was stipulated that he must live under the Han County and was not allowed to leave within three generations.
These servants had never thought that they could be free in this life, but suddenly they regained their freedom. One or two knelt down to Liu Ming, kowtowed to Liu Ming a few times, and sweared to heaven that they would not leave Han County in this life!
When it comes to the point of making an oath, naturally there is no point in believing it or not.
Liu Ming nodded and arranged people to settle them in various townships under the Han County, and just replenish their household registration.
Finally, he ordered Tian Chou that if such servants come over in the future, they would all be handled according to the method of entering. Liu Ming did not want to continue facing this difficult happiness.
At the same time, Yuan Feng’s mansion in Luoyang.
"I was so angry that the lord did nothing and took such a big advantage! After our years of layout, the Yuan family got more than the lord who suddenly intervened in!" Yuan Feng was in a bad mood, so he immediately started to curse as soon as he sat down.
This is not surprising. In order to prevent Liu Ming from going south, the Yuan family had to give up some blood. As a result, their material harvest was slightly lower than that of Liu Ming. As one of the behind-the-scenes planners of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he really could not accept such an ending.
"Uncle, Dai County is about to start spring..." Yuan Shao said calmly.
"Yes, I'm afraid I have to vomit all the things I eat again! Haha, who did the tricks and tricks actually asked that kid to serve as the county magistrate!" Yuan Feng was immediately happy when he heard this.
Yuan Shu, who was standing beside him, listened and could not interrupt, or that what he wanted to say was said first by Yuan Shao, which made him very unhappy.
However, he also found that the worse Liu Ming's situation was, the happier his father would be.
So he silently returned to the study and arranged for the Xiongnu to serve as a mission.
There is only one thing, that is, in the beginning of spring, the Yuan clan people opened the checkpoints in Dai County and let the Xiongnu go south. I hope the Xiongnu Shanyu Huchuquan will focus on Dai County and Han County!
In his opinion, the destruction of Dai County, the destruction of Han County, and the destruction of Liu Ming, his father should praise him, right? As for the people and wealthy families in Dai County and other places, it is not something he needs to consider.
