The emperor didn't want to talk now, so he gave him a chance to buffer, which is of course a good thing.
However, the emperor's tone was so obvious that the Ruying people in Yecheng were also intentionally or unintentionally classified as prisoners. They obviously did not take him seriously and did not intend to give Xun or face.
What should I do?
Xun Chen was dazed aside, but Xun Or talked to Liu Xie about the harvest in Hedong today.
He was originally a little worried. There was less rain in spring and summer this year, which affected the growth of wheat seedlings, and the harvest this year was lower than last year.
Liu Xie was surprised.
Although the grain from Hedong has not arrived yet, he has received relevant documents. Hedong paid no less than last year, and even more.
Especially the money is nearly 20% more than last year.
"Your Majesty, there are two reasons for this." Xun Or explained: "One is that the people are grateful to Your Majesty for their kindness and hope to help Your Majesty with help, and they will pay according to the amount last year. Second, although the wheat harvest this year is not good, the sericulture has won a lot of money.
In a bumper harvest, nearly 100,000 stones of mulberries alone can replace a lot of grain. Now every household has mulberries, and women work in weaving workshops, and the harvest is no less than farming, so there are naturally many taxes."
Speaking of these, Xun may be in a good mood. "It is precisely because planting mulberry trees are profitable to raise silkworms, that the Hedong clan also understood His Majesty's foresight. Many people took the initiative to spend the land and handed over the extra land to make up for the rent and taxes in previous years.
.Now Hedong has sufficient money and food, and the people live and work in peace and contentment are all thanks to Your Majesty.”
Liu Xie ordered people to take out the documents from Hedong County and read them carefully again.
He was somewhat disappointed when he said that in his heart.
Xun's ability is nothing to say, but his position is still problematic. After so many years, the great tribes in Hedong still occupy extra land. Now they are tempted by interests, and some people take the initiative to show the court to pursue higher profits.
OK, if you hand over the extra land you occupied, Xun may be very satisfied and even came to him to show his merits.
In fact, few people do this, and more people still occupy the land and want to gain the benefits of sericulture.
"As the chief wise man, the prefect has a long way to go." Liu Xie put down his documents. "This time I came, let's take a walk in Wei County to learn from his strengths and weaknesses."
As he said that, he took out the "Waijun Dutian Record" compiled by Yang Jun, pushed it to Xun Or, and patted it gently.
Xun, who was talking freely, was a little embarrassed, closed his mouth awkwardly, took the thick document, and bowed to accept the order.
"only."
Xun Chen saw it, and his heart became even more nervous.
The emperor was not satisfied with Xun's achievements in Hedong, and even disdained to hide it. He put it on his face and asked him to compare with Weijun.
Wei County has just recovered for half a year. Even if the political achievements are good, how good can it be?
I don’t know which cruel official was who, in order to please the emperor, paid bribes regardless of the lives of the people.
Xun Chen wanted to give a few sarcastic words, but when he saw the emperor's expression, he thought about it and swallowed it back.
When we first met, the emperor still had an impression of him in Yuan Shao's old subordinates, and it was not good to say too much.
After talking for half an hour, Xun or his brother said goodbye and made a statement.
Liu Xie asked someone to arrange a residence for them.
After leaving the tent, Xun Chen wanted to visit Cai Yan and Yuan Gui to learn about the progress of the compilation of "Biography of the Party and the Prison". Xun May stopped him and patted the "Waijun Dutian Record" in his hand.
"The top priority is two things. One is to reunite with your family, and the other is to look at the situation in Wei County. The others will be pushed back."
"Why?" Xun Chen was puzzled.
"Brother, don't you understand? Weijun digging fields and Yecheng's great victory, how many party members have made contributions? The party members either stay away from the battlefield and watch on the wall, or wait in Yecheng to be rescued. At this moment, you speak for the party members.
, Who will listen to you?”
Xun Chen's face suddenly collapsed.
"First understand the situation, then make a decision, don't make a meaningless dispute." Xun Gu sucked and said, "If I have the chance, I want to meet Yang Jun, and there may be some gains."
"Do you know him?"
"He is a disciple of Wenli (while letting him go)."
Xun Chen was very surprised.
Bian Rang was a famous scholar, a great scholar, and obeyed famous religion. As his disciple, how could Yang Jun become a cruel official?
There must be hidden information here.
"Okay, I'll go with you and meet this capable official."
After several rounds of consultations, the procedure for the surrender of the Yecheng defenders was finally determined.
Shen Pei, Tian Feng is dead, and Yuan Xi becomes the core of his own.
At the ceremony of prisoner offering ceremony, he went to his crown, bare flesh, held an Aries in his hand and a rope hanging around his neck. He set out from the south gate of Yecheng and walked to the emperor's camp.
His mother, Liu, wife, Guo and younger siblings were all following behind, wearing plain clothes, without makeup, without any jewelry.
Then, there were Zhang He, Gao Lan and other civil officials and generals. They were like Yuan Xi, and they were bare and had no need to lead the sheep.
Behind them were all captives composed of ordinary soldiers. They didn't have to wear hats or bare flesh, but they were wearing cloth clothes, lowered their heads, and followed them step by step.
Many people are dissatisfied with surrender. They think that the conditions are too harsh and better than a fight.
But Shen Pei, Tian Feng had committed suicide, and there was no leader in the group, so they didn't dare to say anything. If they really annoyed their teammates, they were treated as obstacles to surrender, and they might be chopped down.
At this moment, walking in this humiliating team, many people were looking fierce.
The closest to Yecheng were the troops of former general Duan Wei and Xuzhou governor Liu Bei. In order to prevent and to participate in this prisoner offering ceremony, they all put on armor, brought weapons, and were ready to fight, so that they would not give these prisoners any of them.
Opportunity to resist.
Although it was early in the morning and the weather was not too hot, it was still not comfortable to wear armor and battle robe, and many soldiers were so hot that their faces were sweating.
But no one complained.
Especially Liu Bei's subordinates, they were trapped in Pengcheng by the Jizhou army and were defeated in the field. They knew the strength of the Jizhou army. At this moment, they were the victorious side, escorting the elite, who were famous for their elites.
The Jizhou soldiers were so happy that they didn't mention it.
Looking at these soldiers with sweaty faces, still energetic and in a neat team, the Jizhou army couldn't help but smack their tongues secretly.
How much chance of winning do they have when fighting such elites?
Even if Shen Pei and Tian Feng are not dead, the city will have sufficient food and Yecheng will not be able to hold it for too long.
After passing Duan Wei and Liu Bei's camp, Yang Feng and Dong took over the surveillance task and sent the prisoners to the tributaries of the Zhangshui River.
Han Yin, with his helmet and armor, came to the river with Jiang Jie and others, and led Yuan Xi and others forward.
They sat high on the horse's back and laughed at the group of prisoners who were walking down.
Han Yin laughed the loudest.
He often heard Han Sui say that when he came to Luoyang to make plans, he was neglected by Yuan Shao and others. Now, as the winner, he accepted the surrender of Yuan Shao's son with the emperor, which was finally a shame to wash away his previous shame.
The only regret is that Yuan Shao died too early and did not appear in the team.
"Tsk, this woman is pretty." Han Yin's eyes lit up when he saw Queen Guo beside Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi felt nervous, and Queen Guo couldn't help but tremble.
Jiang Jie coughed. "Major General, don't be rude. They are prisoners of the emperor. Even if you want it, you can only ask the emperor for rewards and cannot rob them yourself."
Han Yin laughed. "Zhong Yi, what are you saying? I am a general in front of the emperor, how could I be the kind of barbarian who robs people when I see them? I just sighed. However, although this woman is good, she is better than
Master Zhen is still slightly inferior to him.”
When Queen Guo heard this, her brows couldn't help but move.
