Zhou Zhong was stunned for a moment and laughed in anger.
"I can't be as calm as you." He said sarcastically. He had known Yang Biao for many years, and their friendship had long surpassed the level of official positions, and he could speak frankly.
"You are worried, so you can't be calm." Yang Biao stretched out his finger and pointed Zhou Zhong's heart. "I'll guess boldly. You are so impatient. Is it because of Du Tian? Why, I'm worried about the family's slightest thing.
How many hectares of fertile land?”
Zhou Zhong was choking for a moment, and he was a little embarrassed that he was being told through.
"You Yang doesn't have such worries?"
"It's not realistic at all, but compared to your Lujiang Zhou family, it's not worth mentioning." Yang Biao ordered people to drink and drink with Zhou Zhong. "Of course, don't be nervous, you're even more so than your Lujiang Zhou family."
There are many rich people."
Zhou Zhong laughed, raised his glass of wine, and drank a glass with Yang Biao.
Yang Biao's words reminded him. Although the Zhou clan of Lujiang has a lot of land, far exceeding the standards of the court, compared with those real powerful people, the Zhou clan of Lujiang really has nothing to say.
Not to mention anything else, Lu Su, who is close to Zhou Yu, has more land than the Zhou family in Lujiang, and Lu Su is the chief minister, and the emperor is close to him.
His confidence in the emperor is related to Lu Su's trust.
Based on his experience over the past few years, he believed that the emperor was a person with firm beliefs, but not a person with recklessness. Although it was difficult to travel, the emperor would definitely be able to handle all interests.
Although he didn't know how the emperor would solve it.
"It's a good thing to fight in the court?"
Yang Biao nodded. "Every time the court meeting, there are really people who say that there are all kinds of reasons. What you want and what you can't imagine is really eye-opening."
"What did the emperor say?"
"The emperor just listened and never gave a clear opinion. It seems that he wanted to see the results of the trial implementation in various places before talking about it."
Zhou Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought about it and asked another question. "Kanto, what is the difference between Kansai?"
Yang Biao was silent for a moment. "Is Kanto very quarreling? Some people even attempt to oppose Du Tian by force?"
Zhou Zhong hesitated for a moment, and nodded and admitted. "That's true."
"After passing Hangu Pass, will it still be?"
Zhou Zhong felt his heart moving and suddenly realized. In fact, before he passed Hangu Pass, he felt the changes in public opinion. There were still people complaining about Dutian, but there was no news of the change in the people due to Dutian.
Why not?
Zhou Zhong quickly passed it in his mind and realized a problem.
There are almost no civil war, and there are garrisons, and there are large-scale garrisons.
For example, Luoyang.
The reason why Luoyang did not change its people due to the land reduction was that in addition to the sharp decline in household registration around Luoyang and a large amount of free land, Han Sui had tens of thousands of troops stationed in Luoyang, and it should not be ignored.
Henan, Hongnong, and from Guanzhong, they were all garrisons in the imperial court. Once civil rebellion occurs, local generals will quickly send troops to quell the rebellion.
"How is the situation in Nanyang?" Zhou Zhong asked a question quickly.
Yang Biao smiled.
Zhou Zhong is a smart person and he grasped the essence of the problem at once.
Gulf
"Nanyang has a loud voice against Dutian, and Zhang Ji and Ding Chong can't suppress it. The emperor is investigating. People who have returned from Nanyang recently usually have special inquiries, and some are brought to the emperor, and the emperor himself
Inquiry and understand the situation in Nanyang.”
"Are there many people coming back from Nanyang?"
"There are many people who fled to Nanyang in Guanzhong, but also people who were originally Nanyang. They heard that the farmer had the right food and the weaver had the right clothes to move to Guanzhong."
Yang Biao took a sip of wine and said, "There are also some business people who want to move to Guanzhong, but the court has strict restrictions, so they can't come just by wanting."
"The court... restricts those who want to move to Guanzhong?" Zhou Zhong wondered if he had heard it wrong.
After Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and others suffered a disaster, no ten household registrations were left in Guanzhong. Even if they moved tens of thousands of households from Liangzhou, they were still a drop in the bucket.
Even if the Qiang people were added, the total number of Liangzhou was only 300,000. Those who were willing to abandon their family business and left their hometowns were those who were poor and had a foothold. With the stability of Liangzhou and the reopening of the Western Regions' trade routes, the local area was
If you can live well, why move to Guanzhong?
In this case, shouldn’t Guanzhong warmly welcome those who want to move in?
"Can't you figure it out?" Yang Biao smiled slightly. "I can't figure it out either, but the emperor said that it's better to wear away a drip of water than to drink water through a stone. I think there is some truth, so you might as well read it for a while before talking about it."
Zhou Zhong nodded.
The emperor is not in a hurry to achieve success, which is of course a good thing.
"How can I see the Emperor?"
"If you are anxious, you can go out of the city. If you are not in the Imperial College, you will be in the martial arts hall. The martial arts hall is built on the former site of Afang Palace and it is easy to find. If you are not anxious, you might as well take a break for two days. The day after tomorrow, the emperor should meet.
Return to the palace.”
Zhou Zhong thought for a while. "I'd better leave the city. Although it's not a day or two, I've been delayed for too long, so it's good to report early."
Yang Biao agreed.
Zhou Zhong immediately asked about Zhang Xi’s incident.
Yang Biao pondered for a moment and told Zhou Zhong that Zhang Xi died in Yuan Shao's camp. No one could testify about how he died. I can't figure out this out, and his biography cannot be written.
, there is no legal requirement for requesting posthumous posthumous title.
The current opinion is to wait for Liu Bei to enter the court. A general named Chen Dao, who was once Zhang Xi's servant, may understand some situations and help solve the mystery.
Zhou Zhong was very surprised.
In March, when he was still in Kuaiji, he heard that Liu Bei was going to enter the court, so why hadn't Liu Bei arrived yet?
"Liu Bei was delayed." Yang Biao said: "After Yuan Shao withdrew from Jizhou, he sent Yuan Xi to Qingzhou. There were signs of advancing Langya, so Liu Bei had to lead his troops to Langya. The situation in Langya is quite complicated, and it may be impossible to escape for a while.
.”
"Is it related to Duda?"
"Maybe there is. However, it was not mentioned in the official document, only saying that Zang Ba, Sun Guan and others were expending heavy taxes to prepare for war, which aroused public anger."
"Does the court have plans to send troops?"
"Not yet, the emperor sent two military plans to assist Liu Bei in the battle. Liu Bei's command is not short of troops. As long as there is a suitable military plan to assist, the problem should be solved soon." Yang Biao smiled and said, "This is also a matter of time."
Prepare for Liu Bei's future expedition to Liaodong."
"Who has such strong military ability? Jia Wenhe's disciple?"
"Not all, there is a scattered cavalry beside the emperor, named Fazheng." Yang Biao smiled. "It should also be that he wanted to see Liu Bei's ability. After all, he will be responsible for regaining Liaodong and North Korea in the future, and even going eastward.
Japan's mission is too weak."
Zhou Zhong frowned.
The emperor attached great importance to Liu Bei beyond his imagination, and he didn't know whether it was a disaster or a blessing. It would be fine if North Korea regained Liaodong, but was it a bit of a military force to move eastward to Japan?
"The world is settled for the time being, and I'm thinking about expeditioning the outside world. Are you too anxious?"
"I also have this concern. Fortunately, the emperor only examined Liu Bei's ability and did not allow him to enter Japan immediately. It is still OK to prepare."
