The matter was almost settled, and Liu Bei reported directly to the emperor.
First, I told the emperor why Jingzhou made such a big effort to wipe out the five families. In short, it was just to cry miserably and win sympathy.
Then he said that Jingzhou is willing to contribute the good things produced by the five families to the emperor for national use.
Finally, he humbly said that in order to show Jingzhou's repentance, Chen Yuan and Chen Zichu, who was not driving Jingzhou, would lead a group of officials to Luoyang to obey the emperor's orders and die in the emperor's service.
In short, this memorial fully expressed Jingzhou's respect for the emperor, and also bribed the emperor.
It is said that all good things should be given to the emperor, but in fact it would be good to give one-tenth of them.
Because only Jingzhou itself knows how many good things Jingzhou has produced from the five families.
Jingzhou himself said that he would give all the benefits to the emperor, so he gave them all.
Even if you don't believe it.
Anyway, this memorial is to protect the emperor's face, as long as the emperor is satisfied.
After receiving this memorial, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was quite satisfied.
After all, Liu Bei not only gave himself face, but also gave him his lizi.
Although only one-tenth of the good things copied from the five families were given to the emperor, they still amounted to nearly ten thousand taels of gold.
Do you think Emperor Ling of Han could be unhappy?
There is a saying that by wiping out the five tycoons this time, Jingzhou really made a fortune.
The last time I made a fortune like this was when I killed the Cai family.
Nearly one hundred thousand taels of gold entered Jingzhou's treasury.
In addition, there are various types of land, houses, shops, slaves, etc.
Jingzhou couldn't move these things away, so they simply sold them.
Sold to other local powerful men.
As a result, Jingzhou's treasury gained another amount of money, about 150,000 taels of gold.
Of course, Jingzhou did not ask for all the money, part of it was exchanged for food and population.
For Jingzhou, food and population can never be too much.
Because the area of Jingzhou is too vast.
Not to mention the current population of more than 10 million, even if there are 10 million more, it will be more than enough.
You should know that today, under the leadership of Chen Yuan, Jingzhou is vigorously cultivating land and carrying out the development of Jingnan.
A lot of land has been developed.
These lands need people to cultivate them.
With the land now in the hands of the Jingzhou government, it is possible to recruit refugees on a large scale.
This time, most of the 150,000 taels of gold were turned into population and food.
Therefore, Jingzhou once again accepted hundreds of thousands of refugees and tens of thousands of stones of food.
These hundreds of thousands of refugees will be moved to Jingnan by Jingzhou organizations for the development of Jingnan.
With the government organization and the refugee camps set up in various places, with sufficient food and clothing guaranteed, it is basically possible to reach Jingnan safely.
Gu Yong and others are in charge of these matters, and there is no need for Chen Yuan to worry about them.
Chen Yuan is now heading to Luoyang with officials from Jingzhou who are willing to go to Luoyang.
Chen Yuan brought dozens of people with him this time.
Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhao Yun, Tai Shi Ci, Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Guo Jia, Zhang He, Dian Wei and so on.
Chen Yuan probably had already made arrangements for these people, and just waited until they arrived in Luoyang to ask the emperor for instructions.
According to Chen Yuan's estimation, these people's official positions are not a problem.
Because now Chen Yuan is the deputy master of Taixue Jijiu and Jiantiantai.
The most important thing is that the story of Chen Yuan's five consecutive passes has been spread all over the world.
Everyone knows that Chen Yuan is a gentleman with benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust.
Today, Chen Yuan can be said to have reached the highest point of morality in the world, and no one can attack Chen Yuan morally.
If you are not convinced, you can also go through the five levels of Confucianism and Taoism.
If you can pass it, everyone will admire you.
It's a pity that no one has this confidence, and not everyone can go to Jiantiantai and pass these five levels.
Chen Yuan did not go very fast along the way.
The reason is simple: he wants to restore the Bowang Travel Map.
The Bowang Travel Map saved Chen Yuan's life, and because of this, the Bowang Travel Map was almost destroyed.
It's easy to recover. As mentioned before, you need to absorb the energy of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, the energy of cities and passes, and the vast world of mortals. The more you absorb, the stronger the Bowang Travel Map will be.
Therefore, Chen Yuan began to restore the Bowang Travel Map from Xiangyang.
From Xiangyang, go to Zhonglu, cross the Hanjiang River, cross Xinye, divide Funiu, go to Xuchang, pass Chenliu, Hulao Pass to pay homage to the past, and even left a poem.
The natural dangers are limited to the west and the east, so it is difficult to know the power of nature.
The road invites the three Jins to meet, and the power is overwhelming the two rivers.
The remaining snow is stained with dead grass, and the leaves are broken in the panic.
Just looking at the battleground, the present and the past are empty.
Along the way, the cities, passes, mountains and rivers in the Bowang Travel Map are gradually illuminated, and as they are illuminated, the aura of the Bowang Travel Map gradually becomes stronger.
When Chen Yuan rushed to Luoyang and received Luoyang's worldly atmosphere and city energy into the Bowang Travel Map, the Bowang Travel Map was restored to its previous state.
It's even stronger than before.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, Chen Yuan was still very afraid that the Bowang Travel Map would be over.
If that were the case, I would really be ashamed of the sage Bo Wanghou.
In Chen Yuan's view, Bowang Hou's achievements will shine through the ages.
Because of Bowang Hou, the Han Dynasty saw a wider world and knew that there was a powerful country thousands of miles away from the Han Dynasty.
It was also because of Zhang Qian that Chinese civilization came to the land of the Western Regions for the first time, bringing them a more advanced civilization.
At the same time, it also allowed the big man to absorb a lot of new things.
Therefore, it is said that Bowanghou will last forever.
You must know that the only treasure left by Bowang Hou was ruined in Chen Yuan's hands, and Chen Yuan could cry to death.
Fortunately, I finally recovered.
Not only do you not have to be ashamed to face Bowang Hou, but you also have an extra treasure to protect yourself.
This treasure can resist the attacks of six first-level experts at the same time, which is terrifying.
Now Chen Yuanshou has the Bowang Travel Map and the Xiping Stone Sutra Tablet for attack. It can be said that he has both offense and defense.
Of course, his magical power of the Wanfa Golden Wheel is even more awesome.
However, this magical power consumes too much power of the soul and cannot be used too much, otherwise it will easily consume life span.
After Chen Yuan realized this magical power, he finally understood why some first-level experts could not live to be two hundred years old.
It's because there are too many magical powers being used.
If the power of the soul is consumed too much, to put it bluntly, the soul dies.
After arriving in Luoyang, everyone temporarily lived in a restaurant opened by Jin Fengwei. The fellow Liu Bei named Zhang Te had long been transferred back to Jingzhou.
You must know that Liu Bei came from Youzhou, and there were not many people from Youzhou in the entire Jingzhou.
Apart from Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chen Yuan, Jian Yong, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, only the original five hundred followers are left.
Liu Bei also needs the fellows from Youzhou to balance the power of Jingzhou.
As a fellow countryman of Liu Bei, Zhang Te also had outstanding abilities. After being transferred back to Jingzhou, he was inspected by Liu Bei and directly made Guiyang County Lieutenant and became a main member of Jingnan Development.
Nowadays, Jingnan Development in Jingzhou can be said to be a popular project.
Everyone knows the significance of Jingnan's large-scale development. As long as they can perform well in Jingnan's large-scale development, it will not be a problem to be promoted to a high official in the future.
Especially in Jingnan, it is convenient to attack Jiaozhou.
Military achievements will not be much less.
Zhang Te has become one of Liu Bei's important confidants.
Having Zhang Te in Jingnan will be very beneficial to Jingzhou as a whole.
After everyone settled down for the time being, Chen Yuan went to see the emperor.
After all, Chen Yuan's return to Jingzhou this time is considered to be asking for leave, and he will naturally have to cancel his leave when he comes back.
Because of Chen Yuan's special status, the only way to get rid of the fake business was to find the emperor.
By the way, Chen Yuan gave the emperor ten thousand taels of gold as Jingzhou's atonement money this time.
Although no one in Jingzhou believed that they were guilty.
But you have to keep your mouth shut.
Chen Yuan met the emperor smoothly.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty's first words were: "Zichu, tell me the truth about how much money Jingzhou has gained from the five families this time."
To be honest, this was the first question Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty asked, and Chen Yuan did not expect it.
However, when I thought about it, although Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was a smart emperor, he also had a bad reputation for being greedy for money in history.
Thinking about it this way, it’s not surprising.
Chen Yuan was not surprised that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty could guess that he and others were hiding something. Every fool knew that Jingzhou must have gained more than this.
However, Chen Yuan definitely couldn't tell Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty the actual number, otherwise what if this guy got jealous.
Therefore, Chen Yuan gave him a discount.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, in addition to what is dedicated to Your Majesty, Jingzhou still has about ten thousand taels of gold and some land, food, cloth and other items."
After hearing this, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty nodded with satisfaction.
In Emperor Han Ling's opinion, Chen Yuan's data should be relatively true.
This is because Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty greatly underestimated the extent of these powerful families' plunder.
After all, this guy grew up in a deep palace and doesn't know the sufferings of the people.
Although he knew that Hao Qiang was very strong, he actually had no idea of how strong he was.
Therefore, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty believed in Chen Yuan.
Now Jingzhou is willing to devote almost an average amount of gold to himself. In the eyes of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei and Chen Yuan are both great gentlemen.
Please give me more ministers like this.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty sighed: "If all the ministers in the world were like Zichu and Xuande, I would be much less worried."
Chen Yuan couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
Good guy, if the world were like this with my eldest brother, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to hold the position of emperor for three months.
Of course, Chen Yuan would definitely not say that.
He said with sincerity and fear: "I dare not take Your Majesty's praise as such. These are what I should do, but I have made things difficult for Your Majesty this time. It is a grave sin of Your Majesty. Please forgive me."
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty waved his hand to indicate that everything was okay.
As long as the money is in place, everything will be fine.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty thought for a while and said: "My beloved, how many officials have you brought with you from Jingzhou this time?"
Chen Yuan returned: "Your Majesty, there are about thirty people, all of whom are ministers of Jingzhou. They all admire your majesty's power, so they specially follow you to serve your majesty. Please show mercy to your majesty."
Chen Yuan is asking for an official position for the people in Jingzhou.
Although Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was greedy for money, he was not a fool.
After hearing what Chen Yuan said, Emperor Han Ling thought for a moment: "My dear, I wonder if there is any place these people would like to go?"
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was testing Chen Yuan.
Let's see what Chen Yuan is thinking.
If Chen Yuan wants to keep all these people in Luoyang, it means that Jingzhou already has other ideas.
If Chen Yuan does not want to leave everyone in Jingzhou, it means that Jingzhou is still trustworthy as before and has no disobedience.
Yes, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty wanted Jingzhou to be strong, but he also did not want anything to happen to Jingzhou when he became emperor.
After all, this guy hopes to leave a good reputation in future generations and not become a king who subjugates his country.
As for what will happen after his death?
Then he can't control it.
Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. After my death, I will not care about the floods.
It has nothing to do with me anymore.
It was the mentality of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty that made him fail to arrange his funeral arrangements, which led to great chaos in Luoyang after his death as he fought for the throne.
To be honest, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was partly responsible for Dong Zhuo's chaos.
If he had chosen the assistant minister, such chaos would not have occurred.
At that time, there were ministers such as Yang Biao, Wang Yun, Lu Zhi, Yuan Feng, etc. in the court. These people served as auxiliary ministers, and together with the general He Jin, they could at least ensure that the court would not be in chaos.
But Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty didn't make any arrangements at all, and everything went into chaos as soon as he died.
They crushed each other and fought, and finally let Dong Zhuo enter the capital, pushing the Han people hard on the road to destruction.
It was because of Dong Zhuo that the authority of the emperor and the imperial court was greatly reduced.
Since then, no one has taken the imperial court seriously.
Although the Han Dynasty still had prestige, the emperor no longer had it.
I have to say it is sad.
After Chen Yuan thought for a moment, he understood the thoughts of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.
Chen Yuandao: "Where these people go depends on your majesty's decision. Is there any reason to let them choose?"
Chen Yuan's words were beautiful. Although Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was happy, he did not take it seriously.
If he takes it seriously, he is a stick.
Therefore, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty smiled slightly and then said: "When the emperor employs people, he should use his talents to the best of his ability. Therefore, I must know what he can do and what he wants, so that I can use his talents according to my ability. Do you think so, my dear?"
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty also answered beautifully.
The hidden meaning is, if you have any requests, please make them immediately.
Chen Yuan heard the song and understood the elegant meaning, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the people I brought this time are almost all people who are good at riding and shooting. I often heard that the northern border has never been peaceful, so it is better to let them go to the border to serve Your Majesty.
Be effective and relieve the country's worries."
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty immediately understood that Chen Yuan was going to arrange for these people to go to the north.
At this moment, Emperor Han Ling felt relieved.
Among the northern states, except for Jizhou, which is rich, they are all somewhat poor.
"Ai Qing, do you think those places are suitable?"
Chen Yuandao said: "Bingzhou and Youzhou are the places where brave men can use their force. I think these two states are suitable and ask your Majesty to judge them."
Although it mentioned two states, it was not specific enough.
"Ai Qing, what do you think of Yanmen, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Shanggu, and Youbei being equal?"
Chen Yuan was stunned.
Good guy, have you learned his magical power? How do you know that these counties are what I want?
