Because he was happy, he set up a table in the county mansion, and several civil servants and military officers ate and drank.
At this time, the news of the re-establishment of the state pastor arrived.
After the people were screened away, Zhu Kui looked at the people present pointedly. Wang Cheng and his group of generals heard that Liu Yan, Liu Yu Renyi, and the governors of Youliangzhou did not dare to come to anything, but the two clans After being appointed an official, he was confused for a moment and continued to drink. Wang Cheng had read books and knew what the position of state pastor was, but he didn't understand what impact it had on the world.
Only Zhang Hong and Jiang Wan frowned.
In fact, anyone with some knowledge knows the consequences of enfeoffing a state pastor.
The Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, the Spring and Autumn Rebellion, or the Western Han Dynasty Emperor Cheng, instigated by Wang Mang, enfeoffed the prefectural pastoralists, which almost ended the Liu Han Kingdom.
After all, Jiang Wan was young and impatient, so he spoke first: "What on earth are you doing, sir? You actually allowed your majesty to agree to Liu Yan's request to disrupt the country."
Earlier, the Di newspaper had mentioned Liu Yan's memorial to invite the governor of the state, and knew that the court would discuss it later. However, everyone thought that Liu Yan was going to be in trouble. How dare he say this policy of enfeoffment in public, without fear of Liu Hong's suspicion?
Except for Zhu Kui, no minister would have known in advance that Liu Hong would agree after Qian Shuo's self-proclaimed loyal advice.
"If Your Majesty can lend the four-party shepherds to serve as pastors for ten years and then abolish them, it may be a better way to improve the current chaotic situation in the four directions."
This was said by Zhang Hong. In fact, in the last two years of Emperor Ling's reign, the crisis under the strong Han Dynasty has begun to emerge. People with insight, some who are worried, and some who sit back and watch, quietly watch what the court does. .
Liu Yan is exactly this kind of person, half for his own selfish interests, and half for the sake of the Liu family. If Emperor Ling lives long, he will be abolished after ten years. With the prestige he has been in power for decades, the governors in various places will only be able to succeed. , after issuing a decree to extend favor, these state pastors will eventually have to behave and become chess pieces in the hands of the emperor.
It's a pity that no one has Zhu Kui's prophetic ability. Next year, Ling Emperor Liu Hong will die due to excessive indulgence and exhaustion of his energy. The two sons behind him are only in their early ten years old. How can he control the whole world?
However, Guangwu and Liu Bei were too low-level. He spent his whole life running around and still could not save the Liu family.
"In the opinion of these two gentlemen, who is this Jingzhou Pastoral Council?" Zhu Kui asked about a topic he was more concerned about.
The Jingzhou Mu was Liu Biao in history, but Liu Biao's Jingzhou Mu was established by Dong Zhuo. In order to seize the position of Lieutenant Commander of the Northern Army, he resigned from his military power and went to Jingzhou alone.
The current governor of Jingzhou is Wang Rui, who has not been promoted to governor of the state.
History has changed. He, Zhu Kui, is really a little afraid of Xinzhou Mu. His strength is not enough to compete with the power of a state. The governor does not have much military power, but the state Mu does.
At this time, Zhang Hong and Jiang Wan both had the same opinion: "It is impossible to establish a prefecture in Jingzhou. Sun Jian was appointed as the governor of Changsha and pacified District Xing two years ago. The rebellion in Houjiangxia was put down in ten days, and the rebellion in Jingzhou was extinguished. Re-establishing Jingzhou Mu is a redundant move. It is unnecessary to establish two or three prefectures. It will not be difficult for the court to abolish them ten years later. If there are many prefectures, the Spring and Autumn Kingdom will be unavoidable. No matter how prestigious and powerful the royal family is, it will not be able to compete with them. The world contends."
"With my lord here, no matter where chaos breaks out again in Jingxiang, the imperial court will ask Jiangxia to send troops to help quell the rebellion. This is why your majesty ignored the new Nanyang governor Zhang Zi's repeated requests for General Guan Hai to return to Nanyang."
Zhu Kui privately asked Guan Hai to stay in Jiangxia and not let him go back, which would naturally arouse the dissatisfaction of Zhang Zi, the governor of New Nanyang. Jiang Wan mentioned it and also wrote to Liu Hong, saying: Since the Yellow Turbans, Jingzhou has experienced repeated military chaos.
Since there are no large soldiers to deter the people, the people cannot farm with peace of mind. Please leave me 20,000 county soldiers. I can promise with my heart that no one in the north and south of Jingzhou will dare to commit the crime again. If so, I am willing to shoulder the responsibility."...
Liu Hong believed in Zhu Kui's military ability and agreed to this matter.
Regardless of whether history has changed or not, if there are state pastors coming down, they will have no choice but to use troops to block the water and cover up the water. Anyway, it will only take more than half a year for the Ling Emperor to die, and then there will be nothing to worry about.
Later, the joy brought by Zhijia was diluted by Zhou Mu's incident. After a few rounds of drinking, the banquet was dismissed.
As winter passes and spring comes, everything revives, the vast white snow gradually melts, and the soil begins to become moist.
Every household began to go out, leading their oxen and plows, and headed to the fields one by one.
Farmers are very hardworking, and the ancient farming methods are very strenuous. There are only a few farmers with cattle, and most of them carry hoes to cultivate wasteland.
Farming, no matter what kind of plant it is, requires first plowing the soil, breaking up the soil clods and plowing trenches to prepare for planting.
Because the ancient farming methods are highly adaptable, no matter what the terrain is, as long as livestock can walk, they can farm. Jiangxia originally had many plains, so the main area for land reclamation was on the hillside with crisscrossed ravines.
Zhu Kuiyao built terraced fields. In order to better lead the people back home to open up wasteland, today he and his subordinates and generals were on a slope outside Jiangxia City, preparing to personally lead the people.
In the same scene, Zhu Kui ordered all the counties under his command, and ordered the county magistrate and county magistrate to take the yamen and go out of the city to farm and set an example for the people.
Last year, half of the county officials were killed by Zhao Ci, and those replaced by Zhang Hong and Jiang Wan were the children of the Zhang family and their close friends.
On the slope, Zhang Hong and Jiang Wan had never farmed before, nor had Gan Ning or Zhou Tai. Guan Hai and the others were farmers, and they knew how to plow the land, so they consciously led the oxen and plow to start.
Farming has begun.
Zhu Kui did not force his two gentlemen, but first asked Gan Ning and Zhou Tailai to help guard the two-year-old plow and whip the cow's buttocks while pushing.
Operating an ox plow is actually very simple. With just a few instructions, Gan Zhou was able to use the plow handle skillfully and gracefully. He supported the plow with one hand and the whip with the other, watching the newly turned soil follow the rules of the tilted plow.
The field fell to one side, and I felt very interesting. The patterned field was simply a beautifully crafted picture.
I am reluctant to step on the newly plowed soil, just like caring for a precious work of art. I smell the fragrance of the soil and am intoxicated with it. That is the land, that is the foundation for raising us humans. Human beings learn from many animals.
Learning to farm is a very important part of rising up.
After teaching the two men, Zhu Kui took another cow and started farming by himself.
In addition to oxen, there are also mules, donkeys, etc. to pull the plow. As long as the people have strong animals, they can plow the fields. The farmers nearby saw a guard with a well-known armor and a knife suddenly pulling ten consecutive plows.
Many acres of land were surrounded, and I couldn't help but be shocked.
Then, a young man came out as the leader and demonstrated a few times the skill of plowing with oxen. A man dressed as a Shangguan spread out and started plowing with the oxen he brought.
People are just curious. Looking at the group of young people in front of them, it is obvious that they belong to a wealthy family and are not ordinary people. They actually like to farm, which is novel and attractive.
The more daring farmers asked the guards guarding them.
"Sir, what is going on?"
The person who asked the question was a farmer in his fifties, who looked honest and honest.
After receiving the instructions from Erhu and the others, the guard boasted: "Old man, let me tell you, the young man in front of you is our Jiangxia County Governor. Today he led the civil and military officials to pull the plow with the big guys. It can be seen that you pretend to be the common people in your heart."
, what I care about are the lives of the people."
"Ah" This shocked a group of farmers around the old man: "The prefect actually went to the fields to farm!"
"That's right!" the guard affirmed: "The prefect must work together with the people to pay tribute to God and pray for the whole county, so that there will be a bumper harvest this year."….
"The prefect is such a good official!" the old man sighed with emotion, and soon the news about Zhu Kui coming to pull the plow spread.
Many people were touched and happy that they had a good official in charge and that their days would be better in the future.
Seeing his bodyguard standing talking to the farmers at work, Zhu Kui frowned and ordered Erhu to ask all the bodyguards to pull the plow together. He did not need anyone to protect him.
"Lord, the guards are going to farm, who will protect you?" Erhu persuaded with a sad face. This move has never happened since ancient times. Zhang Hong and Jiang Wan on the side also persuaded him.
"I have so many people guarding me, who am I afraid of?" Zhu Kui pointed at the farmers around him who were holding whips and plows, shouting and starting to walk, his throat trembling, and his face looked contented.
"Jiangxia was in chaos, and the people were in panic. We welcomed the governor, wielding his sword to quell the rebellion. He only thought about the people and everyone's hope."
Zhu Kui, like Jiang Xia, these people really feel the hope of life. Today, whether it is for show or otherwise, he is a hope in the eyes of the people.
"My lord is kind and virtuous, and the people support him, but he does not need to be protected." Zhang Hong bent down and praised loudly. "General Erhu, do as the lord says."
Finally, he and Jiang Wan also rolled up their sleeves and went to the ground in coordination.
