"In the county, the records of those who eat and their expenses are in the warehouse, together with the plan, the official will use the time to record the records of those who eat."
This time officials from all over the country were sent to the plan. Except for Liu Biao, Tao Qian, Cao Cao and others who made offerings and offered some gold and silver, the rest of the princes, counties and counties were crying at this time. If they didn't make any contributions, they even asked the court for transfer Food and grass, especially Yuan Shu.
The imperial court's own reserves are now a bit tight. It is a good thing not to find a place to ask for help. There will be no one to help Yuan Shu. Of course, if you refuse, you must at least give a high-sounding excuse, so as not to lose people's hearts.
Ma Rixi said to Yuan Shu's chief secretary Yan Xiang simply: "After hearing that the generals gathered tens of thousands of people in Yuzhou, Nanyang and other places, the soldiers were exhausted and the people were uneasy. If there is really a shortage of food and grass, why not reduce the army and rest with the people? ?”
"There are many yellow turbans and bandits in Yuzhou. In order to protect the place, the generals had to support their troops to defend them. Now the army is barely adequate, how can it be reduced?" Yan Xiang said with a sad face.
Huang Wan interjected at this time: "When I was the shepherd of Yuzhou in the fifth year of Zhongping, bandits were indeed rampant in the territory. But I had deployed troops to pacify it at that time. How come there are bandits again today?"
Hanging in Runan, Yuzhou, He Yi, Liu Pi, Huang Shao, He Man and other yellow turban thieves from the Yingchuan counties each have tens of thousands of people. On the surface, they are wreaking havoc on the place. In fact, they have long been attached to Yuan Shu secretly. Yan Xiang was now Of course, I couldn't mention this matter, and I couldn't say that Huang Wan did a bad job in Yuzhou. I could only say vaguely: "The bandits have not been eradicated. Once Huang Gong is gone, their power will resume. This is also unpredictable."
Huang Wan snorted coldly. After learning that he had just left, no one would be happy if the rebellion followed him. He said with dismay: "Kong Gongxu, the governor of Yuzhou, only knows simple and high-minded speeches, and has no military talent. He has no military talent." Unexpectedly, Yuzhou has declined so much since his death!"
Seeing that Huang Wan passed the responsibility to his successor as governor, Kong Min, Yan Xiang immediately replied: "How can Kong Shijun be as talented as Huang Gong? The moth thieves saw this in his mind, and that's why they started to stir up trouble again."
Ma Rixi suddenly said: "Speaking of which, Yuzhou has had no governor or governor for nearly three years."
Yan Xiang was suddenly heartbroken and hurriedly said: "Wei! The general is worried about this matter, so he specially asked me to go on this trip and ask for the appointment of a state pastor. I hope the court will agree to the report."
Yuan Shu wanted to become the pastor of Yuzhou? It seems that he was stimulated by Yuan Shao becoming the pastor of Jizhou.
Ma Rixi thought in his heart, but rejected Yan Xiang's request without hesitation. After all, let alone him, not even the three of them could make the decision: "There is another decision on this matter, not today." Yan Jun, please step aside for the time being."
After Yan Xiang retreated to the side in anger, the remaining senior planners reported on the situation in their respective counties one after another, allowing the imperial court to have a more intuitive understanding of various places in Guandong.
In the next few batches of officials, most of them said that thieves were rampant in the territory, the people were tired, and it was difficult to contribute taxes. Faced with these situations, Ma Rixi and others were no longer surprised.
Regardless of whether what they said is true or false, the actual separation between the imperial court and Guandong is an unavoidable fact. At present, what the imperial court can really control is the seven counties of Sili, as well as the counties of Bingzhou Shangdang, Yongzhou Hanyang, etc. Even the counties in Liangzhou where the governor Han Sui was located were mostly controlled by local powerful people, making it difficult for the imperial power to enter.
Ma Rixi used the same excuse to respond perfunctorily to the senior planner who asked for support from the imperial court. Just when he was a little stunned, the senior planner from Henan Yin gave him, Huang Wan, and Dong Cheng's eyes lit up.
The Xinzheng chief named Yang Pei represented Henan Yin Shangji. Not only that, he also provided the court with thousands of dried dendrobium and wild beans as tax. Although these were not commendable in terms of quantity or quality, his
However, Ma Rixi and others were filled with emotion.
"Kongqu." Yang Pei was a native of Feng Yi for ten thousand years, and he was also from Guanxi. To show his closeness, Ma Rixi called him by his name and said: "According to Henan's accounting books, Henan has been suffering from famine for many years and the people are hungry.
You are poor, and the farming that started at the end of the year has not yet yielded results. How did you get these things?"
Yang Pei is of medium height and looks extremely smart and capable. He said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "It is precisely because of the famine in successive years that I ask the people to save more dry beans, wild beans and other things in daily life, just in case of emergencies."
"This is a capable official who can be appointed by the people of the prefecture and county." Ma Rixi said to Huang Wan in a low voice: "We should report to your majesty and commend him."
His actions intentionally or unintentionally alienated Dong Cheng, causing some dissatisfaction from the other party: "Even if he is recommended by Situ, he still has to enter the Department of Civil Service."
Ma Rixi was stunned and looked back at Dong Cheng. The two looked at each other in silence and stopped talking.
Near noon, everyone gradually dispersed after Liu Yi, the last accounting officer from Yingchuan County, reported what had happened.
Only at this time, Sikong Huangwan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly left Liangze, the chief official sent by Hedong County, to talk about things in Hedong in front of the remaining ministers.
It turns out that since Wang Yi, the governor of Hedong, took office, in the past few months, the salt policy in Hedong has not been effective, and the salt people are unbearable. The local tycoons and the remaining thieves are trying to bully people, and even cause trouble from time to time.
There was a person below who looked at him and walked out immediately. It was Shangshu Lang Han Bin, a native of Liang State in Yuzhou: "Wang Wendu has failed to achieve political success. He has betrayed the trust of the emperor and the people's expectations. It is appropriate to write a letter of warning to him."
Ma Rixi frowned. After all, Wang Yi was recommended by Jia Xu, whom the emperor trusted, and he was also a disciple of the great scholar Liu Kuan. Even if he had not subdued the local powerful, it seemed that Huang Wan should not criticize him like this.
Dong Cheng pondered for a moment and then said: "The area east of the river is of vital importance. Even if Wang Wendu is only in office for a short period of time, he should not manage things like this. If it delays His Majesty's official affairs, who can absolve himself of the blame?"
After he finished speaking, his eyes were on Ma Rixi, his expression indifferent and a bit sarcastic, as if he was asking him for his opinion.
Ma Rixi remained calm. He raised his eyes and looked down. Yang Zan, the minister's servant, looked worried, and he suddenly felt confident. Perhaps Huang Wan and other Guandong scholars insisted on launching this attack.
But Yang did not agree.
The atmosphere in China and Taiwan suddenly became a lot quieter. How Wang Yi is doing in politics is no longer the key. The key is that some people are using the banner of implementing the emperor's official salt, and on the surface they are accusing Wang Yi of being in a state of disarray and violating the rules.
The reform of Guanyan was actually an attempt to take the opportunity to oust Wang Yi and resist the government of Guanyan in another way.
It seems that this is the highlight of today. Even if Huang Wan has no intention of disturbing Guan Yan, he may just want to replace his own people to make profits, but his behavior today is undoubtedly a very subtle signal.
