Shi Sun Rui stood outside the gate for a while, but Liu Shao led him into the county temple.
Zhuge Liang was sitting in the hall to handle official duties. When he saw Liu Shao leading several people in, he was surprised. However, he saw that two of them were dressed in the army and said nothing. When he found that the general walking in front was
When Shi Sun Rui realized the problem, he quickly got up to greet him.
"Shisun Gong, is it because of insufficient military supplies and needs to be added?"
Shi Sun Rui waved his hand and signaled Zhuge Liang to look at Wang Duan beside him.
Zhuge Liang looked up and down at Wang Duan and smiled. "Is it that the Duting Hou Wangjun?"
Wang Duan was a little surprised. "The county master knows me?"
"I heard that the king and the marquis looked very handsome and had a pretentious speculation, but they didn't expect to guess it." Zhuge Liang reached out and signaled that the soldiers, Sun Rui and the other two were invited to come to court.
Liu Shao bowed and went out.
Shi Sun Rui was not in a roundabout way and asked directly about the reason why Zhuge Liang verified his name.
Zhuge Liang thought for a moment and said to Shi Sun Rui: "The verification of the name of a name has not been completed yet, so we should not make arbitrary assertions. But Shi Sun Gong asked, Wang Junhou was here, so it would be okay to talk. If you can give some advice, you will be unable to find it."
He said, and took a book of accounts. "From the several townships calculated two days ago, the population loss is about 50%. Compared with the household registration before the Yellow Turban, the loss is more than 70%.
After the Yellow Turbans were pacified, the household registration of some people returned to their hometowns and some townships even recovered to more than 90%. Unfortunately, these data are all fake."
"Fake?"
"Yes, after the Yellow Turbans, many people did return home, but most of them did not re-occupy their household registration. During the Zhongping period, there were false reports on household registration, and after the Chuping period, they were even more scruples. The number of household registrations calculated was increasing.
The actual number of household registrations has been decreasing."
Zhuge Liang paused and said, "Maybe this is not accurate. It should be that the actual household registration in the county has been decreasing, and only the number has increased."
"Wouldn't the rent be owed a lot?" Shi Sun Rui blurted out.
"That's true." Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly. "Some household registrations have been owed for more than ten years. Then, just before I took office, the household registrations of these people disappeared."
Ju Su asked slowly: "What about the actual household registration? Is it increased or decreased?"
Zhuge Liang turned his head and glanced at Ju Su, and raised his lips slightly. "It has increased, and it has been increasing over the years. I initially estimate that the actual household registration in Handan should be around 8,000 to 10,000."
Shi Sunrui held his beard, pondered for a moment, turned to look at Wang Duan.
"Do you agree?"
Wang Duan's face was swollen and even purple, like a pig's liver. While smearing the sweat on his forehead, he stammered: "Although I am grateful to the court and inherited the title of marquis, I ignore political affairs. How about it?
You can know the county's household registration."
"How many people are there in your household registration?"
Wang Duan lowered his head, wishing he could bury his face into the ground. "I...I don't know."
Shi Sun Rui's eyes suddenly became cold, and he turned to Zhuge Liang and said, "The king and the lord are both relatives and the highest rank in Handan. If you don't check the number of household registrations, how can you convince the public? Kong Ming, I will entrust you to this matter.
.”
Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows and nodded in agreement.
Wang Duan was startled and jumped up. Just as he was about to speak, Shi Sun Rui said again: "The king and the lord returned home since the first year of Chuping. I haven't seen the emperor for several years. Why not follow me and go to Yecheng to meet the emperor?
.”
When Wang Duan heard the word "花" and his face, which was originally red and black, suddenly pale. He didn't dare to say a word, and sat back quietly.
A trace of helplessness flashed in Ju Su's eyes, but he didn't say anything.
Zhuge Liang bowed and said, "June, the army has surrounded Yecheng and urgently needs a lot of money and food. When I first arrived in Handan, everything was unclear, and it was extremely difficult to raise it. Since June, I am a relative of the country, I must be willing to support you."
Wang Duan's face twitched. "It should be, it should be."
"Thank you, marquis." Zhuge Liang left the table and gave a big gift.
Shi Sun Rui didn't even eat food, hurriedly left Handan County and returned to the army.
Wang Duan was sent to see him, and he was not allowed to act at will without his consent.
He and Ju Su came to the shooting camp and went straight into Ju Jun's tent.
Ju Jun was having a meal and was surprised to see Shi Sun Rui and Ju Su coming back together, and he looked angry.
"This Zhuge Liang is too presumptuous and doesn't even leave a meal?"
"He stayed, I was afraid I couldn't eat it." Shi Sun Rui sat down and signaled Ju Su to sit down. "There are no outsiders here. If you have anything to say, it's okay to just say it. I can keep the words in this tent confidential.
With this tent, I can't guarantee it."
Ju Jun's eyes flashed and he glanced at Ju Su.
Ju Su shook his head helplessly. "Wang Duan has been brought back by Shisun Gong, and he will meet with him."
Ju Jun's eyebrows trembled slightly, nodded, and took his seat again.
"Jun Rong, what do you want to hear?"
"Why might as well talk about the guests from Yecheng first?"
"Okay." Ju Jun clapped his hands and ordered his personal guards to guard the tent. "Shen Pei did send an envoy, and he knew that the situation was hopeless and he was willing to surrender. He just hoped that the emperor could pardon his children and not imprisoned him.
Punishment.”
"Where is himself?"
Ju Jun shook his head. "He is over fifty years old, and life and death have long been ignored."
"Where is Tian Feng?"
"Tian Feng..." Ju Jun hesitated, and Ju Su continued: "Tian Feng also wants to die, but he is not worthy, so there seems to be no reason to die. If he can save him from dying, he will ask Mr. Sun to fulfill his wish."
"What else?"
Ju Jun and Ju Su looked at each other. "No more, that's all."
Shi Sun Rui sneered. "If it is so simple, it is worth your hesitation? Since you don't say it, why not let me guess it. Abstain from the generals and keep the troops. If possible, it is best to travel like the Bohai Sea.
, don't kill them all. Right?"
Ju Jun nodded with a wry smile. "If this could be done, of course it would be better. It's just..."
"But you know too, this is impossible." Shi Sun Rui breathed and said, "It shouldn't be."
Ju Jun frowned slightly. "What's wrong with it? Although the Bohai land has been forgiven, it is much better than the Central Plains prefectures and counties have not yet been there yet? Is it under the sky? Is it the king's land, and the shore of the land?
Wang Chen. Jizhou and Yuzhou are all places of the imperial court, so why are they so partial?"
Without waiting for Shi Sun Rui to answer, Ju Jun said again: "Wang Duan is the son of Empress Linghuai, and Jun Rong scolded him. If the Xun family's children were here, could Jun Rong be so calm?"
Looking at Ju Jun who was angry, Shi Sun Rui opened his mouth to speak, but didn't know what to say. He hesitated for a moment and smiled bitterly: "Yuanying, I know you have unfairness in your heart, but I didn't expect you to be like this."
I was angry, and I didn’t even believe it. Well, if this matter involves the relatives of the foreign country, it’s better for the emperor to deal with it directly.”
"When I see the emperor, I see him, why am I afraid?" Ju Jun said angrily: "Even if I am in front of the emperor, I will say so, without changing a word."
"You are still a archery captain, so you should not leave the camp easily. Let the Duke and accompany me for a trip."
Ju Jun and Ju Su looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
