Pingyuan Kingdom governs Pingyuan County, and is located about 12.5 kilometers south of Pingyuan County, Shandong Province in Zhangguandian. Pingyuan Kingdom was originally called Pingyuan County. In the first year of Yanping in the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, 106 AD, Liu Sheng, the eldest son of Emperor He of the Han Dynasty, was established as Pingyuan King.
, Pingyuan County was renamed Pingyuan Kingdom. In the 11th year of Jian'an, in 206 AD, Cao Cao abolished Pingyuan Kingdom and changed it to Pingyuan County.
The four generations of the Kingdom of Pingyuan: Huai Wang Liu Sheng - Ai Wang Liu De - Wang Liu Yi - Wang Liu Shuo. Liu Shuo is the 18th generation grandson of Han Emperor Liu Bang, while Liu Bei is the 21st generation grandson of Han Emperor Liu Bang. There is a difference of three generations between them.
Liu Shuo perfectly met the emperor's requirements for the princes and kings. He was proficient in eating, drinking and having fun. Except for management, politics and military affairs, he was good at everything else. He perfectly inherited the expertise of his clan surnamed Liu.
.But this may also be the reason why people with the Liu surname generally live a long time!
The day after Liu Bei arrived in Pingyuan County, he went to meet the Pingyuan King. Although Liu Shuo ignored the political and military affairs, the Pingyuan Kingdom was still nominally dominated by Liu Shuo.
Liu Shuo suddenly saw a person who was a descendant of the royal family coming here to serve as the county magistrate. He was very happy. He grabbed Liu Bei and had Liu Bei accompany him for a drink. Only when Liu Bei was so drunk that he could not walk, did he let Liu Bei go.
.But I have never seen Liu Bei again since then.
Liu Shuo's meaning is also very obvious. You officials can govern as you want. You can suppress rebels as you want. You can do whatever you want. I don't care. You just need to give me my salary every month.
That's it for me.
At its peak, Pingyuan Kingdom had a population of more than 1 million. Pingyuan Kingdom controlled 10 counties, namely Pingyuan, Gaotang, Zhua, Luoyin, Ande, Liguo, Xipingchang, Banxian, Leling, and Yanci
. Among them, Pingyuan County is the largest county, with a maximum population of more than 150,000.
Nowadays, after many rebellions such as the Yellow Turban Uprising, the population has long lost its former glory. In October 188, the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou Jinan Kingdom and Le'an Kingdom resurrected and conquered counties. Pingyuan Kingdom is close to Jinan Kingdom and was severely affected by the Yellow Turban Uprising.
After Liu Bei took office in Pingyuan County, he first checked the household registration situation in Pingyuan County. According to household registration statistics, when Liu Bei took office in Pingyuan County, there were only more than 80,000 people left in Pingyuan County. Compared with its peak period, the population was almost half less.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, in addition to the county magistrate, county-level officials also had county magistrates and county lieutenants. The county magistrate mainly managed documents and warehouses and prisons; the county lieutenant mainly managed public security; other official positions included chief secretary, meritorious officer, governor, historian, etc.
At this time, the county magistrate of Pingyuan County was named Wang Er, and his family spent 4 million to buy him. The county captain was named Sun Jia. He was very tall and had a big sword hanging on his waist. He looked like
Gives people a sense of intimidation.
After Liu Bei learned clearly about the registered population in Pingyuan County, he invited the two men to his residence and asked them carefully about the current situation in Pingyuan County.
This Wangxian Cheng, indeed, bought his official position. He didn't know anything about the county's documents and prisons. After taking office, he made a lot of money. Now Liu Bei has learned to be more flexible. If this was the case a few years ago,
, this person must be turned into another governor.
Sun Xianwei is a good official, and the public security in the county is pretty good. Although he is not known as staying open at night, he is famous far and wide.
Liu Bei learned from the two people that the biggest hidden worry in Pingyuan County today is the thousands of Yellow Turban rebels located a hundred miles east of Pingyuan County.
These rebels usually gathered in the mountains and forests, and often robbed merchants or the court's tax money that passed through these mountains and forests. When farmers were harvesting, they often came out of the mountains and forests and looted the villages around the mountains and forests.
Nowadays, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court are unable to exterminate the large-scale rebels. The imperial court directly hands over the rebels to the local governments to exterminate the rebels with hundreds or thousands of people.
Liu Bei was not surprised when he learned that there were rebels in Pingyuan County. During this period, it would be strange if there were no rebels in a county at this time!
Now that Liu Bei and others have just arrived, they can take advantage of this group of rebels to establish their own prestige. Moreover, Liu Bei got this Pingyuan County Magistrate by relying on the military merits of encircling and suppressing the rebels. He has actually dealt with the rebels in these years.
For Liu Bei, it was like a daily routine.
And, more importantly, you can get a lot of money by encircling and suppressing the rebels. Now that you have come to Pingyuan County, no matter what you do in the future, you will definitely need money, and encircling and suppressing the rebels is the best way to obtain money.
Liu Bei still handed over the management of the public security in Pingyuan County to the county lieutenant Sun Jia. As for the county magistrate Wang Er, although Liu Bei would no longer impose criminal laws on such people, he would not give them a good attitude. So Liu Bei would not do anything.
He politely collected the administrative documents and prison matters.
The day after Guan Yu and Zhang Fei arrived in Pingyuan County again, they left Liu Bei's magistrate's residence and went to the military camp outside the city. At this time, for these two people, living in the military camp was their biggest concern.
Fun. When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei left, Liu Bei told them to be prepared to attack the Yellow Turban rebels east of Pingyuan County, and asked them to send people to find out the reality of this rebel bandit in the next few days. 2
After hearing this, the people were naturally very happy, and then they took the order and went to the military camp.
After Tian Yu chose a suitable house for his mother, he moved his mother there. At this time, Tian Yu, after many days of contact with Liu Bei and others, had completely integrated into it. Now Tian Yu's
His mother is by Tian Yu's side, so Tian Yu has nothing to worry about.
Chen Meng believed that Tian Yu would never abandon Liu Bei again in this life.
After Zhao Yuntian and Yu came to Pingyuan County again, Liu Bei arranged for them to recruit troops in Pingyuan County to expand their own strength.
After Jian Yong came to Pingyuan County, Liu Bei stayed by his side and helped Liu Bei handle various affairs in the county.
Chen Mengze stayed in the county magistrate's mansion shamelessly, for no other reason than because the girl in Chen Meng's dream also lived in the county magistrate's mansion.
After arriving in the plain, Uncle Fu stayed with his mother as before. This made Chen Meng, who was also staying in the mansion, even more resentful. Chen Meng could clearly feel it in the past two days.
His tooth hurt a little, and Chen Meng knew it was because he was angry because he couldn't see his wife.
During the day, Uncle Fu would only leave his side at night. Today's night was also the time when Chen Meng was preparing to see his wife.
Chen Meng tiptoed to the outside of the bride's boudoir, gently pushed open the window, and climbed in through the window. Chen Meng was already very skilled. Just to climb through the window, Chen Meng kicked in several windows in the past few days. Because of this,
Liu Bei often said that the buildings in this mansion were too weak and needed to be renovated.
Jumping gently into the house, the moonlight seemed to want to see the beauty in the house, and rushed in through the window that had just been opened by Chen Meng.
Chen Meng took advantage of the moonlight and walked slowly towards the woman's boudoir in the house. As he walked, he wondered if the lady had seen the note I gave her today. This chapter has been completed!
