Chapter Seventy-Five: The Dust Has Settled

Liu Bei shamelessly appropriated the story of Cao Chong's elephant to help Luo Yeke win a perfect victory. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info Finally, after reaffirming the covenant with Royer Ke that emphasized the friendship of the Han barbarians for generations, he planned to leave. The new generation of barbarian kings has taken office, and Liu Bei has gathered two thousand elite soldiers before and has not yet disbanded, so he is simply stationed here to show off his might. Declare your absolute support for Royerke. Pu Ke and the others were no longer convinced, and in front of the powerful force of the Han army, they could only bow their heads to show obedience. As for how to beat and win over and subdue the people, Liu Bei doesn't plan to interfere, all this has to rely on Luo Yeke's own understanding, people always have to learn to grow. Relying on external forces will not last long after all.

The flames of war that had lasted for months had been extinguished, and Liu Bei retreated, intending to calm down and write a chapter and several letters to his family. He was away from home for months, and he didn't know what was going on at home. Mother, Xuan'er, uncle, as well as Zhang Fei, Jian Yong and others all appeared in his heart. Life is always about gathering less and leaving more. In the years of conquest in the future, I'm afraid that we will spend less time together, right?

The bright moon hangs high, and the night is as cool as water. The mountain breeze blows, the trees sway, and the insects chirp. In the dim light, Liu Bei was writing at the desk. The door was pushed open silently, and the wind blew in, the lights flickered lightly, Liu Bei stopped his pen and looked up. I saw that Rama Ke was dressed in a light veil, floating here, his hair was wet and scattered on his snow-white neck, obviously just bathed, and there were droplets of water dripping from his hair, gently gliding over the jade-like skin, and under the moonlight and light, it looked extremely charming. Liu Bei was stunned, and before he could react, after a wisp of incense, the warm fragrance was in his arms...... The couch room was turned over by red waves, and the moon and breeze outside the window.

In the early morning of the second day, Liu Bei was refreshed and said, "Ke'er, go back with me, okay?" Luo Yeke was shy, bent over, moved in front of Liu Bei, and after a while, he raised his head and said blankly: "I also want to go back with you, and I will always accompany you." But how can I forsake my people? Liu Lang, how is it good? ”

Liu Bei was silent, and the three virtues and four virtues had not yet become the only moral evaluation criteria for the women of the Han Dynasty at this time. And he is not qualified to ask Luo Yeke to leave her hometown and her people to follow him, and he may be precarious in the years of war in the future. And why did he drag Royer into that whirlpool? Maybe it's best to let her continue to enjoy the tranquility in this world? However, her own woman should always have an explanation. If he could dominate the rivers and mountains within ten years and become the supreme in the world, Luo Yeke would only be in his twenties at that time, and it would be the time when he was in his prime...... Liu Bei thought about it for a while, and suddenly smiled again, what are you worried about, don't you have confidence in the future? Suddenly, there was a chill in the lower abdomen, Luo Yeke pressed his small hand lightly, and sighed softly: "Liu Lang, I want a child......" Before the words were finished, Liu Bei's brain exploded with a bang.

When Liu Bei left, Luo Yeke and a group of elders sent it again and again, and Liu Bei turned back countless times to ask them to stop. Until the figures of Liu Bei and others became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared into the forest. Luo Yeke couldn't hold back her tears and choked silently. The elder who had always loved her the most in Luo Buzhong walked up to her, touched her head, and sighed, "Silly child, don't cry. A person like him will only move forward step by step, and how can he stay here for you. You are the hope of our tribe, and I am afraid that there will be no good man in the future. Pu Ke, you don't like it, there are also Anan, Ah Fei and other sons in my clan, all of whom are first-class warriors, strong and resolute, and mighty! ”

Luo Yeke wiped away his tears, shook his head, and said seriously: "I know, I know they are all very good, but I don't like it." ”

The elder looked into the distance and sighed helplessly: "Then be strong, follow in his footsteps, and never stop!" ”

Liu Bei turned his head, as if he could still hear the tactful singing of farewell. He looked at it carefully, and there were only green mountains and green waters, and there was no beautiful face. Liu Bei knew that here, there was his own concern, and he would never forget it, and there was a woman who was waiting for him. Liu Bei cleaned up his mood, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, shouted, and galloped out. Behind him, Yan Yan and the others followed closely, rolling up several roads of smoke and dust.

In August of the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei, the Taishou of Bajun, was elected as the barbarian king, pacified the barbarian chaos, played the book to the Beijing Division, and the Son of Heaven ordered the division to discuss the merits, and finally gave the marquis of Guannei, a hundred altars of fine wine, and a hundred horses of silk. Liu Bei didn't have to work hard, and he received the title second only to the marquis, and he felt very satisfied. Later, after receiving Lu Zhi's letter, I learned that countless people wanted to transfer him to Beijing, and the emperor reluctantly gave him the title of Marquis of Guannai in order to let him temporarily squat in Bajun and balance it. Liu Bei was a little uncomfortable, the emperor was more generous to the eunuchs one by one, and the title reward was not fatal, but he was more stingy than the meritorious ministers, as if he had lost a lot of money by being knighted. The state public weapons were used by the emperor to buy and sell, which can be regarded as an emperor through the ages.

In August, the Son of Heaven ordered the world to be imprisoned for unsolved crimes and to be redeemed. Then these life money, the Son of Heaven used to build a 400-foot building on Ating Road. Liu Bei went to the letter of the seal as usual, although his tone was very tactful, but he was still very unkind in and out of his words, so that the emperor and the third prince saw it, and they were not in a good mood for a long time. "Liangzhou has been in turmoil for decades, and turmoil in the sea has returned. The people were crying endlessly, and women and children were starving to death in the ravines. However, the king enjoyed it, and the ministers ignored it. This natural disaster, man-made disaster......"

The emperor read Liu Bei's recital, and his face remained silent. However, the eunuchs next to him who wanted to look at their faces to add fuel and vinegar almost died in a hurry.

According to the usual practice, after the foreign ministers read the book, and after the Shangshutai was handed to the emperor, the emperor had to summon the ministers to discuss it. The Han Dynasty has this tradition, whether it is on the scriptures or politics. Let's talk about it. Then the emperor is high up and decides depending on the situation. Or co-opt, or suppress. It's nothing more than an imperial measure. But this time, the emperor acted as if nothing had happened. He accepted Liu Bei's recital, but the pavilions and pavilions were built correctly. However, a few officials who followed the trend were reprimanded by the emperor.

After the above table, Liu Bei began to shift his attention to the government affairs of Ba County. Ba County has a lot of water, mountains and little fertile land. The county towns under his rule are all built along the water. As a result, most of the fields are concentrated in the southeast, and between the mountains and rivers in the northwest, most of the active people are barbarians or displaced people who have fled here. They are self-sufficient and few people take care of them. Liu Bei checked the data of Ba County's fields and found that over the years, land has been merged. The fields that were originally scattered in the hands of countless yeoman farmers were gradually controlled by the big households in each county over time, and the yeoman farmers gradually became the tenants and slaves of those people......

People have fled, or become recluses, how can this be taxed? How to reflect your political achievements? Land is a big problem, and agriculture will continue to be a big problem a thousand years later.

Liu Bei knew that in an agricultural society, land was always a hurdle that could not be bypassed. He originally planned to conduct a thorough inventory of the land and population registration directly in Ba County, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate. If you really do this, I am afraid that I will be resisted by all the gentry. These people wear many hats one by one, from the inside, the three elders, the pavilion chief, the patriarch and so on. If they are really boycotted, who can they call? What if you have an army at hand? In this era when the clan ideology is deep-rooted and the concept of the state is vague, Liu Bei will not go to the step of fierce confrontation unless it is absolutely necessary. It is necessary to be the same as the light, to seek common ground while reserving differences, to stress harmony, and to develop together. After silently reading it several times, Liu Bei suppressed the urge to arrest all the people who were not convinced and send them to prison and then raid their homes. Sure enough, power is the devil.

The decline of each dynasty began with the serious annexation of land and the sharp decline in dynastic tax revenue. Homeless farmers have no land to live on, so they have to sell their sons and daughters to rely on Haoqiang, or become homeless people in the rivers and lakes. What's more, occupying the mountain as the king, he rose up and pulled the flag to rebel. Therefore, it is never the big men at the top of the pyramid who decide the fate of an empire. Rather, it is the toiling masses who live at the bottom like ants. If vulnerable groups are not given attention and development, they will inevitably go to extremes. Why did Zhang Jiao raise his arms and shout, and the world responded, is everyone so stupid that they really believe Zhang Jiao's nonsense? Really believe Zhang Jiao's words, why was the Yellow Turban Uprising suppressed, and many years after the Zhang brothers died, rebellions and riots in various places are still repeatedly banned, one after another? It's not that everyone thinks they can't live anymore, and someone wants to be the leading brother to make trouble, so it's troublesome.

Those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world, and this people, including the political elite in the ruling group, understand people. It also includes the general public. Only by unswervingly representing their fundamental interests can Liu Bei firmly believe that he will be able to succeed. As for guiding and reconciling the contradictions between the official landlord clique and the ordinary people, this is still too far away, so let's do a good job in the current situation in a down-to-earth manner.

Specifically in Ba County, since the big households are not moving for the time being, then open source first, and then slowly figure it out.

Profit drives people's hearts. As long as you can get something by yourself, you are afraid that no one will follow you
