Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 122 Punish the bully
When Liu Yu returned to Guangyang, he announced that Hua Xin was the head of Guangyang County, Zou Jing was the lieutenant of Huwuwan, and Tao Qiuhong was the county magistrate of Jixian County.

Liu He left Guoyuan in Zhuojun County, paid homage to the captain of Tuntian, and gradually took over the affairs of Tuntian. After the decree is completed, it will be fully implemented in the entire Youzhou.

Just after the Lantern Festival, Liu He discussed with Zhuge Gui, Tian Feng and others about spring plowing. Last year, more than [-] refugees were admitted, and the treasury of each county was empty. Whether they can recover depends on this year's harvest.

Zhuge Gui said: "There is an order from the governor to re-register and compile the registers in various places, and check the population...cough cough cough, check the fields, this work must be completed before the spring plowing, so I will trouble you... cough cough... trouble."

Zhuge Gui became weaker during this time, and Liu He felt that he probably passed away within a year or two. Zhuge Liang was only four years old this year, and Mrs. Zhuge just passed away last year. If Zhuge Gui died early, it would indeed put a lot of pressure on the three brothers. .

Liu Fangyan said: "Your Majesty, although you have the peace of mind to raise soldiers, I have distributed such routine matters to the counties and asked them to strictly investigate."

Liu Heyan said: "A few years ago, there were tax exemptions in various places, and some people made a fool of themselves. Let's take this opportunity to solve all of them together!"

Tian Feng thought that Liu He had forgotten about it, and when he heard him mention it, he hurriedly asked: "How does Junhou plan to deal with these people? It's not too late to fill in the vacancies at this time."

Liu He sneered and said, "There's no need to make up for it. This time, the population and land will be checked in various places, and they will be registered according to the amount they reported a year ago. The excess will be taken back and distributed to those people who have performed well!"

"Your Majesty?" Tian Feng was taken aback, he didn't expect Liu He to have such a deep meaning, he was stunned for a moment and then laughed: "This plan is very clever, let those people suffer their own consequences, and they deserve it."

Liu Fang frowned and said: "Most of the people who falsely report land are wealthy families in various counties. If this is done, it may cause dissatisfaction. If someone makes trouble, what should we do?"

Liu Heyan said: "Do they dare to deny the land register that was submitted two months ago? I don't know what crime should be for tax evasion if you conceal the population and land?"

Liu Fang replied: "The crimes will be punished according to the number of crimes, ranging from fines to imprisonment, to banishment and distribution to the army."

Liu He said with a smile: "We have black and white in our hands, and the law as evidence, let them choose for themselves!"

Zhuge Gui frowned and said: "Most of the rich families in the countryside keep their families and use their power to bully others. In some places, even the officials dare not offend, for fear... cough cough cough!"

Liu He slapped the table and snorted coldly: "We have raised so many soldiers, and the daily training is not just for decoration. I asked all places to check with peace of mind and ordered Han Duyou to lead troops to help. If there are not enough people, I can transfer troops. Support. This time we must make an example to the monkeys and eliminate these stubborn bullies.”

Tian Feng clapped his hands and praised: "If the government is to be clear and clear, it is necessary to rectify the administration of officials, punish the evil and promote the good. Although the king's move has offended many wealthy families, it has made the people applaud. People's hearts should be the most important thing."

Seeing that Liu He was determined, everyone agreed. They were quite dissatisfied with this matter at first. Those people lied to each other, clearly treating the officials as fools. If Liu He hadn't suppressed them, they would have investigated them years ago.

Now Fang Liuhe had already planned it. These bullies were smart enough to reap the consequences. As long as this matter was severely punished, no one would dare to do anything wrong in other government orders in the future.

The plan has been decided, and everyone is going to prepare. There are still some ditches in the newly opened fields that have not been completed. Liu Fang took Guoyuan to check. Tian Feng and Zongyu are responsible for dealing with those wealthy families. They are not locals, so they are the most suitable for rectifying the local atmosphere.

After the crowd dispersed, Liu He worried about Zhuge Gui's condition and asked, "How is your health, sir?"

Zhuge Gui waved his hands and said with a smile: "This is an old problem. When I was in Xuzhou, the treatment didn't work. I just left it to fate."

Liu He frowned slightly. Zhuge Gui often coughed, probably because of a lung problem. Unfortunately, he was not good at medicine, and he didn't know if he had pneumonia or something. In fact, even if he was confirmed, there was nothing he could do.

Medicine in the Han Dynasty was not yet developed, a single flu could kill people, children of aristocratic families often died young, not to mention ordinary people, most of them were stubbornly resisting, and the survival rate of babies was also low. Man-made disasters lead to a sharp decline in population.

In future wars, population, money and food are the basic resources. Government orders are one aspect, and improving medical conditions is also indispensable. Whenever this happens, Liu He thinks of the genius doctor Hua Tuo.

It's just that Hua Tuo traveled around and rescued people in various places. He didn't know where he was now, so he sighed helplessly: "Mr. will take care of you at ease. I will immediately send someone to invite a famous doctor to treat him."

"The medicine stone is useless!" Zhuge Gui sighed, and said with a silent laugh: "Since my wife passed away last year, I have been feeling very ill. I wanted to spend my dying years at home, but unexpectedly, the imperial court ordered me to be the county magistrate of Zhuo County, so I had to go north with my illness. ..."

Liu He clasped his fists and said, "At that time, I didn't know that Mr. was seriously ill, so I took the liberty of recommending it, which caused Mr. to suffer."

Zhuge Gui shook his head, coughed a few times and said: "At that time, the old man wanted to excuse his illness and refuse, but at that time, Junhou beheaded the three brothers Zhang Jiao and smashed the Yellow Turban of Jizhou with his own power, shocking Hebei! After hearing the news, the old man wanted to see it too. Junhou Xiongzi, I just went north to inspect, and I went to Zhuo County to see that Junhou resettled the refugees well, so I stayed here voluntarily."

Liu Heyan said: "In the past year, Mr. has worked hard on the affairs of Zhuo County, and now he is the governor of the county. He is busy with everything. You must take care of your health."

Zhuge Gui said with a smile: "This time I went north, I dare not imagine that the political achievements will be outstanding. If there is a promotion, it will make the dog worship under Lu Gong's family. This trip is worthwhile! I haven't thanked the prince for the recommendation! "

Liu He hurriedly said: "Sir, you don't need to look outside. It is Lu Gong's wish to cultivate talents for the Han Dynasty. I think Zhuge Jin is humble and gentle, and he will definitely become a great talent in the future."

Zhuge Gui was obviously very satisfied with Zhuge Jin, smiled gently, nodded and said: "Jin'er is gentle and polite, I am not worried, but there is still a second son in the family, and the old man is getting sicker, but I can't let it go..."

Liu He's heart was moved, and he took the opportunity to say: "The Shichang servants are in chaos, and the officials are taking power, which will lead to refugees everywhere, and the thieves will be in chaos. I am afraid that the Central Plains will suffer heavy losses. Sir, you can send all your family members to Zhuo County intentionally." Come?"

Zhuge Gui's expression changed, and he sighed: "This old man has thought of this for a long time, but he is just worried that the second son is young, there are too few servants, and there are still bandits in Hebei. If he encounters bad people, I'm afraid it will be a big mistake."

Hearing this, Liu He stood up abruptly, cupped his fists and said, "As long as the master has this intention, I will immediately send troops to pick them up, and I will definitely escort them to Zhuo County safely, without any injuries."

"Why bother the Lord? Cough, cough, cough..." Zhuge Gui was also moved and stood up, bowed and said, "I am already satisfied that the dog can worship Lu Gong as a teacher. If I bother the Lord to send troops again, I will feel uneasy. Nah!"

Liu He hurriedly supported Zhuge Gui, and said with a smile, "I sent someone to escort them here, just to make my husband feel at ease, and the family stay away from the chaos of war, and reunite here, so that Zhuge Jin can study with peace of mind!"

"So I'm going to bother you!" Zhuge Gui saluted again, "Your kindness is so great, I can only let the dog come to repay it!"

"No, no, I should thank you sir!"

Liu He was overjoyed, he helped Zhuge Gui to sit down, and asked him to write a letter to make arrangements, wishing he could send someone to fetch Zhuge Liang right away.

Education should start from the baby, and the Wolong cultivated from a young age should be able to soar into the sky, right?
