Chapter 275 The Twelve County Magistrates were dismissed in a row, Nanyang changed to the sky, and the first results were achieved!
Xinye, Dengjia.
Octagon Pavilion.
While Deng Xun was picking up his favorite flowers and plants, he listened to Deng Tong's report on recent events: "The young master of the Zhao family was actually killed by Liu Bei with a stick?"
"That's right."
Deng Tong frowned slightly and nodded in disbelief: "His sworn brother Zhang Fei had already knocked Zhao Meng unconscious, but he wanted to punish him with a stick in court, but in the end, Zhao Meng lost his life after only three blows."
"I didn't expect that!"
Deng Tong let out a long breath and marveled: "Uncle Liu Huang is really a ruthless character. He wants to scare the monkeys, establish his own prestige, and win the hearts of the people to his side."
Deng Xun was not surprised at all and continued to play with his flowers and plants: "If it had been before, Liu Bei would never have dared to be so presumptuous based on his methods."
"But......"
Deng Xun said in a calm voice: "He is relying on His Majesty now, but how can he take it lightly when a small Zhao family blocks his way?"
"The rumors in the market are correct. Not to mention the small Zhao family, even if he meets the young masters of our Deng family and Yin family, Liu Bei will not be merciful."
With the current situation, how could Deng Tong not think of this: "It is true, but fortunately, our Deng family will not become like the Zhao family. Even if His Majesty wanted to revitalize the land, he could not hurt our Deng family."
"yes!"
Deng Xun nodded slowly and said with deep gratitude: "Your Majesty is very measured in his actions. He will find ways to eat up the Zhao family and the Li family, but he will not do much harm to our Deng family and the Yin family."
“Unthinkable!”
Having said this, Deng Xun stopped what he was doing and couldn't help but turn his head and look: "His Majesty is only 15 years old this year, but he can do this. When he really grows up, how can he still do it?"
Deng Tong agreed with deep approval: "Well, His Majesty's methods are indeed amazing. If we use Xinye County to attack, we can quickly frighten the other counties. In a short time, Nanyang can be shaken."
"perhaps......"
Deng Tong guessed: "After this year, Nanyang Hanting will be able to achieve independence based on these imperial lands alone. If we add in the taxes and grain paid by our major families, it will also be possible to go to war abroad."
Deng Xun'en nodded: "That's right! Your Majesty is ambitious and promising at a young age. Maybe it won't be long before he can sweep the world and rebuild the Han Dynasty. Our Nanyang Imperial Township has made the first achievement again!"
"Oh right."
Deng Xun asked tentatively: "Now that the two rounds of exams have passed, have any of us Deng clan passed the exam?"
Deng Tongdan smiled: "Well, one person has passed the exam. He is the son of uncle Deng Lin's family. He is three years older than Zhi'er. But there are no arrangements yet, but it should be soon."
"Deng Lin?"
Deng Xun frowned, but this person was never in his mind.
"oh."
Deng Tong hurriedly explained: "The Deng family in Huyang is relatively poor, but the child is very successful. In the first two batches of exams, a total of twelve people from our Deng family took part, and he was the only one who passed."
"kindness."
Deng Xun nodded with satisfaction: "No matter what, the result is always good! My good nephew."
Deng Tong hurriedly bowed his head: "Here."
"Go to your clan and collect money immediately. From now on, as long as they are descendants of the Deng family, pass the imperial exams, serve as officials, and join the army, they will all be rewarded with ten thousand yuan. Let them all get excited and study hard for me."
call-
Take a long breath.
Deng Xun pinched a wisp of beard under his chin: "Such a fair opportunity, I don't know how long it will last. We, the Deng family, must never give up such an opportunity."
Deng Tong cupped his hands and clasped his fists: "Don't worry, head of the family, I can leave this matter to my nephew."
"Oh right."
Deng Xun suddenly remembered something and tried to ask: "The Yin family is still planning to send people to the palace?"
Deng Tong nodded: "That's right! Two girls have been selected and are being taught various court etiquette. Now the court structure is temporarily incomplete, and His Majesty is not distracted and has no time to choose a concubine."
"but......"
Deng Tong was certain and affirmative: "After a year or two, the Han court in Nanyang will be completely stable, and the three ministers and nine ministers will be in place. Even if His Majesty is not in a hurry, the court officials will be."
"That old guy Yin Lu starts preparing now. It is indeed very suitable. The daughter of the Yin family will definitely stand out. Maybe she will be selected into the palace, but not necessarily."
Deng Xun frowned and pondered for a moment: "My dear nephew, do you think our Deng family should also make preparations? Although it is our Deng family's advantage to enter officialdom through military service, it does not conflict with sending a daughter to the palace.
"
"Okay?"
Deng Tong nodded slowly and said softly: "It's just that the head of the family, my nephew, it's really hard to be distracted. You may have to find someone else to select a girl from the Deng family."
"kindness."
Deng Xun naturally understood that Deng Tong was busy, and immediately nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, just concentrate on the court exams. If more descendants of the Deng family can enter the court, your prestige will be greatly improved. Maybe when I pass away, you can
He is the patriarch."
Deng Tong hurriedly handed over his hand: "Master, my nephew has never thought of it this way."
Deng Xun waved his hand and said: "You can think about it! Moreover, you are very capable. My son is now the commander-in-chief of the Yuanyang Army. When you have more military exploits, you will be promoted to general. Your status will naturally increase."
"Master, I..."
"It's okay."
"Well......"

Xinye, Zhao Jia.
Ancestral hall.
Zhao Yan put his hands behind his back and frowned, pacing back and forth, looking up from time to time outside.
Beside him, a middle-aged man was crying and following: "Master, you have to make the decision for the dog. We, the Zhao family, cannot die miserably like this!"
His name is Zhao Biao, the father of Zhao Meng.
"Enough!"
Zhao Yan was furious and shouted back aggressively: "Are you bothered? Just say it once or twice. If you keep talking endlessly, do you really think that I am useless, deaf and blind?"
Zhao Biao was obedient: "How dare you!"
Zhao Yan sighed, waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, I have sent people to investigate. I believe there will be results soon."
"Master of the house—!"
"Master of the house—!"
At this moment, calls came from outside the ancestral hall.
Zhao Yan looked up.
But when he saw his servants rushing in, looking extremely flustered, they didn't even bother to salute, so they raised their fingers and pointed outside, taking a deep breath and saying:
"Master, I found out that Liu Bei arrived in Nanyang recently. I heard that he is your Majesty's uncle. After Xinye ordered Cheng Wei to have an incident, your Majesty summoned him to the palace immediately and sent him to Xinye to serve."
"What?"
Suddenly, Zhao Yan was stunned, his eyes were as wide as bells, and he was full of shock: "This Liu Bei is actually the current emperor's uncle?"
The servant nodded with absolute certainty: "That's right! That's exactly it."
hiss-!
Zhao Yan was frightened and gasped. His legs could not help but tremble. He almost stumbled and fell to the ground: "Uncle Huang? He is actually the current uncle? No wonder he is so confident!"
"Damn it!"
Zhao Yan chewed it secretly.
He finally understood.
Everything that happened in Xinye was basically arranged by His Majesty the Emperor.
He wanted to intimidate the rest of Nanyang counties by attacking farming in Xinye County, so he sent such a person with royal status to take charge in the shortest possible time.
The other party came too quickly, but never mentioned the identity of the emperor's uncle. This was obviously pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. The other party was just looking for an opportunity to establish his power, and he actually took the initiative to show up.
Damn it!
Zhao Yan was so angry that his face turned green, and the muscles at the corners of his lips kept twitching.
He really wanted to raise his palms as big as cattail leaf fans and slap himself twice in the mouth. Why would he be carried away by anger and act recklessly without sufficient intelligence support?
That's the emperor's uncle!
Not to mention the Zhao family, even the Deng family and the Yin family may not dare to provoke them, right?
Zhao Biao asked anxiously: "Master, the other party is the emperor's uncle, what should we do?"
"what to do?"
Zhao Yan was furious and gritted his teeth: "What can we do? What do you think we should do? Do you want me to use the strength of the whole family to contend with the current emperor's uncle? You think our Zhao family has lived long enough, right?"
"this......"
Zhao Biao loved his son so much that he was so angry that he said, "Could it be that Quanzi died in vain? He went to make trouble in the street under your order, the head of the family. You can't just ignore it, right?"
Zhao Yan spread his hands: "How do you want me to manage it? The other party is the current emperor's uncle! What can I do? You might as well give me an idea. As long as it doesn't hurt the Zhao family itself, I will definitely agree."
As the head of the family, Zhao Yan deeply understands what his responsibility is, which is to stabilize the family head, carry on the family lineage, and allow the Zhao family's incense to continue in Xinye.
Be strong when you should be strong, be cowardly when you should be cowardly!
Zhao Yan was not afraid of trouble, otherwise he would not have thought of ways to take action against Cheng Wei, nor would he have been angry and tested the methods of the new Ye Ling without the support of intelligence.
only......
The current situation is no longer within his control.
If you forcefully confront the current emperor's uncle, you will have to pay the price of the Yi clan.
If the chance of winning was high, it would be alright, but with the current situation, the Zhao family has no chance of winning at all!
How could Zhao Yan not admit his cowardice?
"Brother!"
Zhao Yan sighed and said softly: "I, Zhao Yan, am responsible for the tragic death of your son, but the other party is the current emperor's uncle, and he is backed by the current majesty. We cannot fight."
"Give up."
Zhao Yan patted the other party on the shoulder: "As for your son, I will personally attend the funeral and let him enter the Zhao family ancestral hall in glory. Let this matter be over."
Zhao Biao covered his heart, tears streaming down his face: "Master, you are so cruel, I, Zhao Biao, will remember it!"
"Zhao Biao, you..."
Zhao Yan was about to say something when he saw the other party suddenly turned around and walked out of the ancestral hall without any hesitation.
Looking at Zhao Biao's leaving figure, Zhao Yan subconsciously raised his foot and retracted it.
"Master of the house."
The servant whispered: "The third master is like a blazing fire, if he does something..."
Zhao Yan sighed: "I'm sorry for him. Let him be alone for a while. After a while, I will come to apologize."

Guanzhong, Chang'an.
Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Hahaha!"
"..."
Unbridled laughter floated over the Prime Minister's Mansion.
At this moment, the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Dong Zhuo laughed wildly as he took the intelligence sent back from Nanyang.
He handed the information in his hand to his subordinate Li Ru: "Wen You, look at the news from Nanyang. King Hongnong actually dismissed eight or nine county magistrates one after another and replaced them with those who just took the exam.
.”
"Hahaha!"
Dong Zhuo was ecstatic in his heart, and could not hide the ridicule on his face: "I never expected that King Hongnong would be so reckless, letting some people with no official experience to replace the county magistrate, and even come up with some kind of farming production responsibility letter."
"I'm laughing so hard!"
"Ha ha!"
In Dong Zhuo's eyes, King Hongnong's behavior was no different from seeking his own death.
After all, farming is a major event in Nanyang Hanting. At this time, we are attacking those county officials and replacing them with some newcomers who have just taken the exam. Do you really think this is just playing house?
But......
There was no contempt on Li Ru's face, but an unusual calmness.
After fighting for so many rounds, he has already experienced the power of King Hongnong. He will not be easily fooled by the appearance, but is thinking about the deeper reasons.
King Hongnong was not stupid, so why did he take risks?
Farming is indeed a top priority. What is the purpose of removing the county magistrate and replacing him with a new one at this time?
Newcomers are indeed very motivated, but they have little experience as an official and cannot be ignored.
And that kind of farming production responsibility document...
This kind of thing is completely beyond Li Ru's cognition. It is a set of management experience developed by King Hongnong himself. He cooperates with the inspection team to assess according to the points, and pays equal attention to rewards and punishments. It is really a bit internal.
but......
How it will develop in the end is another matter.
Li Ru twisted his beard and was thoughtful and serious, which was in sharp contrast to Dong Zhuo who was laughing wildly.
After laughing wildly for a long time, seeing that Li Ru didn't make any movement, even Dong Zhuo couldn't help but frowned: "Why, doesn't Wen You think what King Hongnong did is very ridiculous?"
"Prime Minister."
Only then did Li Ru come to his senses and bowed his head: "King Hongnong dismissed seven or eight county magistrates in succession. There were a total of twenty-six counties in Nanyang. He dismissed nearly two or three out of ten."
"On the surface, he is indeed very impulsive, even reckless."
"But the Prime Minister..."
Li Ru took a deep breath and asked, "Has Nanyang ever been in turmoil?"
Dong Zhuo frowned and pondered for a moment: "Although there is no news now, it does not mean that there will be no news in the future. The other county magistrates in Nanyang are not stupid. The butcher's knife is hanging above their heads. How can they not panic?"
"Compare your heart to your heart."
Dong Zhuo patted his chest and said: "If this matter falls on me, Dong Zhuo, I will definitely not let it go. I am the magistrate of a county. How can I be dismissed as soon as I say I can?"
"Wenyou."
Dong Zhuo's bad thoughts came to him: "Should we send someone to contact them? Maybe we can get some unexpected surprises. These guys have connections with all the major families in Nanyang. If they rebel, they will definitely cause riots in Nanyang."
King Hongnong established a new dynasty in Nanyang, which caused the world's resources and families to quickly move closer to Nanyang. Although it is only in its infancy, it is still a force that cannot be ignored.
You must know that if Nanyang Hanting did not exist, these resources would belong to the family sooner or later. In a sense, King Hongnong was eating from his own bowl.
Can you bear this?
Absolutely not!
Dong Zhuo wished he could cut King Hongnong into pieces and throw him into the wilderness to feed the wolves, so that he could vent his hatred.
But he doesn't have enough troops now, so he can only rely on political means to buy himself time.
Li Ru took a deep breath. He couldn't deny Dong Zhuo's opinion, so he could only nod his head: "It is true that we can send people to contact him, but King Hongnong will not give them a chance."
"Zhang Liao is in charge of Heluo, Cao Cao is in charge of Yingchuan, and Nanyang is commanded by Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian. The total military strength reaches more than 18,000 people. There is absolutely no chance of a major rebellion in Nanyang."
Dong Zhuo was not greedy at all, and said softly: "There is no need to cause too much trouble. All we need is to do some damage to his farming strategy. I want to see how he can stand up under the internal and external troubles."
King Hongnong took the lead in developing farming and made it clear that he wanted to be independent. How could Dong Zhuo let him continue to develop unscrupulously like this?
"That's it..."
Li Ru suddenly became interested, frowned, and said softly: "It's not that I can't consider it."
Dong Zhuo made a sound, slightly surprised: "What? Wen You has a way?"
Li Ru took a deep breath: "Prime Minister, during this period, we have been sending assassins to Nanyang. Although many of them were exposed in Wancheng, there are many of our people in other counties."
"and!"
Li Ru emphasized: "Although King Hongnong's move failed to harm the big families, it did damage the interests of wealthy families in various counties. Let's not talk about it. News came back from Nanyang a few days ago that Liu Bei, the magistrate of Xinye County, unexpectedly
Kill the young master of a local wealthy family with a stick in the court."
"Liu Bei?"
Dong Zhuo didn't know this person yet.
"kindness."
Li Ru nodded: "I heard that he was a clan member of the Han Dynasty. When he came to Wancheng, he was recognized as the emperor's uncle by King Hongnong himself, and his reputation increased greatly. But before that, he was just the magistrate of Gaotang County, and Gaotang County was defeated. This time
I just came to Wancheng."
"If my guess is correct, the reason why King Hongnong recognized him as his imperial uncle was to give him the status of a royal person and use this power to carry out his own agricultural affairs."
"Prime Minister!"
The corners of Li Ru's lips raised slightly, revealing a trace of gloomy ecstasy: "I have a suggestion. Since King Hongnong wants to use Liu Bei as an example, we will find a way to destroy him, which will surely shock the Han court in Nanyang.
"
Dong Zhuo's eyes shone brightly, and he thought deeply: "Is it really possible?"
Li Ru thought for a moment: "You can try it."
"good!"
Dong Zhuo fully agreed: "If we can really kill Liu Bei, we will definitely scare King Hongnong. We must send the most capable people to ensure nothing goes wrong."
Li Ru bowed his head and said: "Prime Minister, don't worry, Ru is well aware of it."
Dong Zhuo nodded: "Let's go and do it! Our Xiliang cavalry is rebuilding. It will take at least three years to unsheath it like a sharp sword. By then, we will be able to avenge our previous humiliation."
****
Nanyang, Wancheng.
Emperor's palace.
Liu Bian held the memorial in his hand and nodded with a smile on his face: "Okay! That's great. These county magistrates in Nanyang are more aware of current affairs than I thought."
"They have only dismissed twelve county magistrates, less than half of them, but they are already able to keep up with our farming progress plan. It seems that they have a problem not with their ability, but with their attitude."
Almost every day, Liu Bian receives a Kuai Ma memorial from Yu Fan, which contains the latest progress of each county. This is the third consecutive memorial that has been completed according to the planned milestone.
This proves...
The thunderous methods of the Military Advisor Alliance have already played a corresponding role.
This will be of great benefit to the subsequent progress of farming.
"yes!"
Even Xun or himself did not think of it.
According to the original deduction, Nanyang must eliminate at least half of its county magistrates before it can truly get on the right track.
Unexpectedly.
Unexpectedly, the counties have already entered the state before even reaching half of it.
Xun You was shocked, but also ecstatic: "If we continue at the current pace, our farming progress management this year will definitely be able to exceed the target."
"Oh right."
Liu Bian, the superior, suddenly remembered something and asked urgently: "Have all the rewards according to the node plan been distributed?"
Xun You was so busy that he bowed his head and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, all of them have been distributed."
Liu Bian then calmed down and exhaled: "That's good! I have always made clear rewards and punishments. Those who fail to complete must of course be punished. Those who are likely to complete, or even complete ahead of schedule, must be rewarded. We cannot let the ministers talk about my failure in private.
Talk about credibility!”
"Where can I do that?"
Xun You followed all the way and naturally understood Liu Bian's character: "Your Majesty is rigorous in running the army and more methodical in politics. Since the rewards have been received, the county magistrates in various places are no longer panic-stricken, but are full of energy."
"Every minister is now starting to worry about whether our farm tools can keep up with the progress of farming. If farming is delayed because of the tools, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among county magistrates everywhere."
Different seasons, different tasks, require different agricultural tools.
For example, to open up wasteland, you need to use jué to dig the soil and shovels to shovel the soil;
In the process of farming, the most used thing is the iron hoe;
Liu Bian practiced both land reclamation and farming.
After clearing the land, sowing will need to be done, and farm tools will need to be replaced. If the latest farm tools are not provided, it will inevitably affect farming in each county.
"Don't worry."
Liu Bian said with great confidence: "Gongzhi has made a large number of piston wooden bellows, and the efficiency of forging iron has been greatly increased. You can communicate in private and try to draft a new plan. Everything should focus on farming."
Xun was surprised: "Your Majesty has already considered this?"
Liu Bian simply said with gratitude: "The plan cannot keep up with the changes. Since the current farming progress is better than we expected, the plan will naturally need to be fine-tuned, and the people, machines, materials, materials, etc. related to it all need to be adjusted."
"Wen Ruo!"
Liu Bian took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "When the land reclamation team retreats and fully enters the farming stage, so many people will not be needed. From now on, you must perfect the water conservancy and irrigation plan."
Say it.
Liu Bian took out a piece of silk paper from the eucalyptus paper in the upper right corner of the Dragon Eucalyptus and handed it over: "This is a preliminary layout plan of water conservancy facilities that I have drawn up based on the Nanyang water system distribution map."
"Take it back, study it carefully, help me sort it out, and then summarize it and make a water conservancy irrigation schedule. Let's take the time to discuss it together and try to finalize it as soon as possible."
Xun Youcheng was frightened and hurriedly took the drawing: "Your Majesty is thinking very far and carefully. I am afraid that I have nothing to add."
"certainly!"
Xun You was afraid that the emperor would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said: "I will study it carefully and do my best to find and correct the deficiencies. I will also complete the water conservancy irrigation schedule as soon as possible. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Liu Bidan smiled: "Well, how can I not believe in Wen Ruo? Just go ahead and do it."
Xun probably responded: "Here."
Immediately.
Bow and leave.
Liu Bian thought: "Teacher, even Xun Yu, a talented person like Wang Zuo, was impressed by the experts in the alliance. Look at his respectful appearance now, he doesn't even feel like a talented person like Wang Zuo."
"Master Ben."
The Military Advisor Alliance said softly: "Actually, the experts in the alliance also admire Xun Or. After all, they are a group of people, and Xun Or is just one person. In terms of work ability alone, Xun Or is definitely not bad."
Of course, Liu Bian was clear about this: "That's right! One person runs such a large court and has to take care of all aspects. There is no doubt about Xun's ability to work."
"Let's wait until we have the opportunity in the future."
Liu Bian took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "We must help Xun or share the pressure. For now, we can only continue to squeeze him. Poor Xun or is even worse than 996."
