In the first month of the spring of the second year of Zhongping, the Central Plains was plagued, but the prefectures and counties were in accordance with the epidemic prevention regulations of the former Guangyang Order and the current Dongzhong Lang Liu Bei, and the number of people in the counties who died from the epidemic was greatly reduced. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info those who know the news spread the news, so hundreds of people thanked General Liu for his kindness, and the governor of the state and county even wrote to the court, please express Liu Bei's merits. The eunuchs on the left and right said: "What does Liu Bei mean by this? Want to support the people's hopes to blackmail the court? ”

The Son of Heaven was displeased, so he did not reward it.

Situ Yang Ci felt that Wang Yun had a high reputation and did not want to humiliate him again, so he made the doorman secretly tell Wang Yun, saying: "Jun takes Zhang Rang's matter, so he will be re-enlisted in January." The ferocity is immeasurable, but fortunately it is a deep plan. "It means that he can commit suicide with dignity. So he sent the left and right to serve the medicine. Wang Yun was scared to death, although he was tortured by Zhang Rang, he was not at fault, and he couldn't do anything about himself even if he was a eunuch. Now it's good, but your own people want to die to fulfill their reputation, and only fools are willing to do it. So Wang Yun had to open his hair, and said sharply: "I am a minister, and I am guilty of the king, when Fu Dabi is to thank the world, how can there be milk medicine to die!" ”

After Wang Yunyi's words were spread, the courtiers sighed, so the general He Jin, the captain Yuan Kui, Situ Yang Ci and others came to the rescue: "...... Sincerity is listened to by Sanhuai, and the heart of loyalty is shown. "The emperor looked at it, well, this Wang Yun is not guilty of a major crime, so he should be spared death. It happened that there was a great epidemic in the world, and the emperor granted amnesty to the world, so Wang Yun was pardoned. After this incident, Wang Yun felt that the eunuch was too cruel, too violent, and too unreasonable, so he was terrified in his heart, and changed his name, fled from Beijing, and traveled to Hanoi, Chenliu and other places.

Liu Bei was in Dongting, and he had nothing to do every day, so he only ordered his subordinates to set up a water village, and built soil to form a high platform, protecting the water village and both sides of the military camp. Liu Bei was in Jingzhou, and every time he fought with the Yellow Turban thieves, the money, grain, and wealth he obtained were not handed over except for a part of the money used to reward the soldiers in the army. Liu Bei only emptied the recovered county treasury. He estimated that most of the other people did the same, even if Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were loyal ministers, they couldn't stop the generals and soldiers under him from doing this. Anyway, just push it directly on the yellow turban thief, and don't take it for nothing. This muddled account swept away the savings of Dahanzhou County over the years. It brought a lot of pressure to the financial burden of the imperial court.

It was because last year, when the war was in full swing, the emperor had to issue an edict to reduce the shame of the officials, and if the stables were not used for suburban sacrifices, all of them were taken out for military use. This is already the ultimate that a hedonistic emperor can do.

Liu Bei got this, and he didn't know how much money he had, so he sent people to buy grain and grass. Last year, there was a year of war, and the essence of the Central Plains was ravaged. Prices have skyrocketed, especially for food. In the harvest year, a stone of rice is 80 yuan, and a stone of grain is 30 yuan, such as today's chaos, people's livelihood is withering, and the price is soaring, a stone of rice now costs more than 1,000 yuan, and it can not be supplied in sufficient quantities.

But how could Liu Bei be willing to do such a loss-making transaction? Homesteaders may be displaced and unable to farm, but they will never be able to control the price of food. The farms of the big landlords and the powerful are the main source of grain production. The world was in turmoil, although some unlucky eggs were broken by the Yellow Turbans, but after the emperor delegated military power and allowed the powerful people in various places to build their own troops to resist the Yellow Turbans, the situation has been fundamentally changed. As the saying goes, those who have a constant producer have perseverance, it doesn't matter if the yellow scarf robs others, they can stand by and watch, but once it comes to their core interests, these kind and benevolent readers in the past will instantly change their faces and play with you with a sword.

Yes, Liu Bei knows that these guys are in their hands, but there is no shortage of food. Hoarding goods, driving up grain prices, and making huge profits from them, isn't this their forte? So Liu Bei led people to collect information about the major landlords and gentry in Jingzhou. There is a person with a very good reputation, Liu Bei personally wrote a letter, his words were sincere, and he did not ask for much; As for the notorious, Liu Bei didn't have such patience, and directly sent a large army, saying that he wanted to eat here, depending on whether you sell it or not, if you don't sell it, are you sure? Sell, well, there is not much money in our army, and it cannot be bought at the market price, so it is bought according to the price of grain twice as much as the light and six years. The landlords want to cry without tears, and the six years of Guanghe are a big year recorded in history, with a bumper harvest of grains, a prosperous life of six livestock, and the price of grain, which is naturally not high. Even if it doubles again, what good will it be? Although it is not a loss, when you think of today's food prices, you naturally can't avoid a pain in your heart.

Regardless of whether the landlords of those farms were willing or forced, at least Liu Bei returned the money. Although he is pressuring, he never does anything that he does not pay the bills, nor does he make a blank slip, saying that there is no money now, and you will take the slip when it is developed in the future. Then tell people that you forged this article, it's too bad......

Of course, there are people doing things that are not productive, both ancient and modern. For example, the emperor. He does what he wants, and he doesn't care about what other people think. As long as you live well and live a chic life. In February, Nangong caught fire for no reason, Nangong Palace continued, this fire burned, it was over, and it couldn't be saved, so the natural fire couldn't stop. So the Son of Heaven avoided the North Palace, did not discuss matters all day, silently watched the fire, and the burning lasted for half a month, and it burned until there was nothing to burn, and it naturally stopped.

Shi Zai Lingtai Palace, Le Cheng Palace, Beique Du Road, Jiade Palace, and Huan Hall were all burned. The palace was destroyed, and the emperor was very distressed, how much would it cost to build it again. Thinking of this, the emperor's eyes turned red. If it weren't for the decency of the Son of Heaven, he really wanted to talk to the minister, burn it, forget it, don't cover it.

Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others have been on the emperor's side for a long time, but they don't know what the emperor is thinking, and as soon as their eyes rolled, they came up with a bad idea, asking the emperor to increase taxes on the world's acres of land, and charge ten yuan per mu, and then this money will be used to repair the palace. When the emperor heard this, this method was good, so he immediately agreed. Then the eunuchs said that Hedong, Taiyuan, Didao and other places were rich in timber and aragonite, and let them send them to Jingshi. The Emperor agreed.

When the edict was issued, the courtiers were stunned, and the ministers were even more angry, such as the peace above the world and the withering of the people's livelihood, it is the time to recuperate, your emperor does not say that the world rent and taxes are reduced to support the people, but to increase the tax money to make themselves happy, it is simply unreasonable! So one by one they wrote to dissuade them. It's a pity that at this time, the monarchy is supreme, the emperor insists on going his own way, and the ministers can only stare dryly.

However, the courtiers rebelled, which made the emperor feel a little faceless, and after returning to the palace, he was depressed. Next to him, Zhang Rang said: "Shengshang, those ministers are used to speaking out, and in the name of Boqing, is it true that if he loves the people, the saint doesn't love the people?" The destruction of the palace where the saint lives is a matter of the face of the heavenly family, the prince of the Manchu Dynasty, there are not a few rich people in his family, and he does not see one or two of his funding, which shows his loyalty? The old slaves and others have accumulated for decades, but there are hundreds of thousands of dollars, and they are willing to sacrifice them to the Holy God for funding. Seeing the wind, Zhao Zhong and the others knelt on the ground one by one, and said in unison that they were willing to sacrifice their life savings to let His Majesty repair the palace.

The emperor was moved to tears, how good, he is still his companion as a caring, accompanied by me, in the deep palace, decades of hard work, finally accumulated a little money, and actually have to selflessly dedicate himself to himself, really a great loyal minister, a great good person. The emperor sighed in his heart, so he helped them up one by one, comforted them with warm words, and resolutely refused the pension money of Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others.

So Zhang Rang had a plan to regenerate, and let the assassins, the high-ranking officials of Erqianshi, and Maocai Xiaolian and other emigrants let them pay for it, and the name was to help the army repair the palace. Large counties are 20 to 30 million, and the rest are up and down depending on the counties and officials. If you want to become an official, you should first go to the West Garden to assess the price. Then go to the official. This is more annoying than selling officials, even if you sell officials, you are already an official, whether you are reappointed or promoted, as long as your official position changes, you have to collect money. What, degraded officials? There are almost no demotion in the Han Dynasty, you either do a good job, or you don't do a good job, and you will be dismissed directly, or you will be requisitioned and returned to Beijing for the crime.

Now it's okay, Zhang let this bad idea come out, and if you don't pay the money, you will be guilty; If you don't have money, you will resign voluntarily, I shouldn't be an official, right? No, if you don't have money, you go to be an official first, and when you take office, you have to figure out a way yourself. If you don't pay it, okay, it's not negotiable if you go to prison......

At that time, Sima Zhi in Hanoi, who was Sima Yi's clansman, was newly removed from the giant deer Taishou, and in order to have a clear name, he was charged 3 million less, Sima Zhi was stunned, and then sighed and said: "For the parents of the people, and the people are cut off, in order to call the time, I can't bear it." So he didn't say goodbye, went to Mengjin, was chased by someone, and wrote a letter, extremely Chen was the loss of the world, the ring of ancient and modern disasters, and then swallowed medicine and died. So some of them were angry and fierce, and they followed suit, and for a while, many people committed suicide.

Liu Bei was in Changsha, and when he heard the emperor's order, he was silent for a long time. He knew it was going to happen, but he was still saddened. The glory of the Han and Liu clans has been deeply rooted in his bones, blood, and heart. The emperor did such a stupid thing, which not only disappointed the people of the world, but also made the officials deviate from the Han Dynasty. Who wants to love such a son of heaven and such a regime? Who wants to champion? As soon as the emperor died, the local tycoons divided one side and despised the central government, which was the cause planted at this time.

Liu Bei's heart was agitated, and he wrote a letter with sharp words, pointing directly at Zhang Rang and others for causing trouble to the court and shaking the foundation of the Han Dynasty. It is pointed out in the book that officials are the pillars of the Han Dynasty, and if they are separated from morality and have a distraction, who will shepherd one side for the Han Dynasty and the Son of Heaven? By a few eunuchs? In the end, Liu Bei hoped that the emperor would be able to distinguish between loyalty and traitors, and behead Zhang Rang and other traitors, so as to thank the world and comfort the hearts of the people!

The emperor read, silent for a long time, the emperor is an extremely smart person, before the faint moves, but he was confused by money, and now he has repeatedly heard that officials have committed suicide, and the ministers and officials have been sparse, and he also knows that he has done something wrong.

So the emperor temporarily suspended the palace money. As for Zhang Rang and others, the emperor really couldn't bear to kill them. He knew that Zhang Rang and the others were thinking about themselves, but they just had bad intentions.

Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong peeked at the ministers' recitals, but they were frightened by Liu Bei's undisguised killing intent. So I secretly remembered that as soon as I had the opportunity, I would give Liu Bei eye medicine and give him small shoes to wear.
