At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

With the passage of time, farmers in Qing and Yan prefectures have basically popularized manure, so more and more counties have built public toilets and set up Mojin Duwei, the number of public toilets has increased, and the coverage area has also increased. Gradually spread to other states and counties.

After pacifying Hebei, Guo Peng also set whether there were public toilets in the city and Mojin Duwei as one of the criteria for evaluating officials, which led to the construction of public toilets and the wave of residents going to public toilets to use the toilet.

So sometimes, it is not a bad thing to follow what is good at the top.

Mr. Guo has promoted the development of China's public health cause by himself, and will surely leave a strong mark in the history books.

Of course, the original intention of doing this is not great, it is just to let Guo not feel like he is shitting anytime and anywhere, but it doesn't matter, as long as the result is good.

Although due to the relationship between technology and transportation, the production of manure varies from place to place, so the amount of manure in many places is often insufficient, but this policy is still widely supported by the villagers.

Up to now, grassroots officials in various places are aware of the significant impact of manure on food production. Therefore, in order to compete for more manure shares and political achievements, the village and township leaders will often fight to fight for more for their jurisdiction. manure quota.

Most of the time it is a quarrel, but sometimes it is also a phenomenon that the quarrel directly scuffles together.

And this is also a major problem for the county magistrate.

The public is justified, and the mother-in-law is justified. If you are obviously partial to someone, you will be mobbed and attacked. In the end, the palms and backs of your hands are all meat, which is the source of the county magistrate's political achievements. It doesn't matter if you help someone or not. When discussing value, the key lies in the total amount.

This is an unsolvable problem for the county magistrates, and they worry about it every spring plowing season. Some county magistrates are timid or afraid of trouble, and even pretend to be sick to avoid endless harassment.

Pretending to be ill won't solve the problem.

So sometimes, the distribution of manure is even a big problem for the county guards—because more and more county magistrates pay more attention to the total amount, so when it comes to the distribution of manure, they will personally end it.

As soon as they heard that the manure production in the next county was relatively high, they would dispatch to the next county to demand equalization between the rich and the poor, and their attitude was so arrogant that they almost robbed them. But which county magistrate would think that there was too much manure in his jurisdiction?

Facts have proved that more educated officials from noble families and powerful families are no more elegant than those less educated village chiefs and township chiefs when they compete for manure.

This is undoubtedly a huge annoyance.

Even at some point, whether the county magistrate can win more manure quotas for the county has become a common indicator of the county magistrate's ability——

If you can grab the quota, everyone will obey you. If you can’t grab it, you will not be so good at speaking in the future.

And recently, I heard that the sheriffs of some counties with a large population were also harassed by the sheriffs of some small surrounding counties with insufficient population and lagging behind in development, which even attracted the attention of the governor of the state.

This kind of matter was sent to Guo Peng's desk. Guo Peng even felt that it was necessary to hold a meeting to discuss the establishment of a special organization for manure management in the central government, and look at this issue from the perspective of dynamic balance. , to quell conflicts and disputes in various places.

There is a saying that one side is short of feces and all directions send them. It is impossible to let people in one place buy cheap grains, and people in another place can only starve. The central government has always looked at the overall situation.

Otherwise, sooner or later, this conflict will extend to the central government. At that time, the ministers of the whole court will express their opinions on the issue of shit in the court hall. The scene, thinking about it, is drunk.

Of course, no matter what, after years of hard work, Guo Peng feels that the level of public health in China has made a qualitative leap, and the public's awareness of public health has also become much stronger.

At least in Luoyang City, he couldn't smell the smell of reincarnation of grains that permeated the countryside.

"Very good, as an imperial capital, how can it have that kind of taste? You have done a good job, but in the future, with the increase in Luoyang's population, the number of public toilets will also increase, and more captains of Mojin will be installed, and the area will be divided. , each manages its own area to ensure the cleanliness and freshness of the city and the supply of fertilizers for the farmland outside the city."

"As ordered."

Xun You and Zaozhi took orders together.

In addition to public toilets, there are also constructions such as [-] public security watchtowers, Dongshixishinanshibeishi, emergency management departments, and national reserve warehouses that are also within the scope of Guo Peng's inquiries and inspections. He brought A special person was appointed to inspect and inspect the achievements of Luoyang officials.

These normal things are quickly over.

Time to talk about something less normal.

Chapter 768 Seven Liu Jian is a carefree big player

Everyone knows what Guo Peng's purpose in coming to Luoyang is, and there is no need to hide it.

So Xun You didn't hide it either.

"Your Majesty has been waiting for His Majesty, calling every day to see His Majesty, not even playing mahjong, or cockfighting."

Xun You reported this.

"Did you eat on time?"

"Yes, it's not a bad meal, it's a lot."

"Ah That's good."

Guo Peng nodded: "As long as you eat on time, it means that the problem is not big. Not eating is the biggest problem. It doesn't matter. Go see him and explain the matter clearly, and it will be easy to handle."

"Yes."

Xun You took the order, so he led Guo Peng into the palace, while Guo Jin returned to the Weifu Yamen in the north of Luoyang, and continued to work with his friends.

If he does these things well, Guo Peng plans to give Guo Jin the post of county magistrate in a county around Luoyang, let him try to govern a county, exercise his ability, and then gradually promote his position, give him enough exercise.

Now the palace has entered a state of martial law, only a few trusted servants are still serving Liu Jian, and most of the servants have been transferred from the palace to stay in other places.

The servant who can be trusted will also be the servant that Guo will use in the future. The better he does now, the easier it will be to use in the future.

The eunuch will eventually be an indispensable tool card in Guo's hands to defend the imperial power.

Liu Jian had gone through a period of constant anxiety. This period of time was very difficult. The gloomy memory of having nothing came back to his heart. He was very afraid of losing his current status and everything. When Xun You said that he could no longer be the emperor, He was terrified.

And it is Guo Peng who will be the emperor.

Liu Jian didn't believe it.

Such a good Guo Peng, such a good Guo Peng who satisfied him with everything, and Guo Peng who promised him to protect him, how could he take everything he has?

Liu Jian didn't believe it, not at all.

If he wanted to see Guo Peng, he had to see Guo Peng.

So Guo Peng came.

Although it was a bit late, Guo Peng came.

"Your Majesty, the minister is here."

Guo Peng looked at Liu Jian with a smile on his face. Liu Jian was stunned for a moment, and immediately ran quickly, holding Guo Peng's hands tightly with both hands, and looked warily at Xun You who was following behind Guo Peng.

"Guo Qing, you're finally here. Xun You said he wanted me to abdicate and not let me be the emperor, and also said that you want to rob me of being the emperor. Isn't that absurd?"

Liu Jian looked at Guo Peng expectantly.

Guo Peng smiled.

"Your Majesty, what Gongda said is true."

"I heard that there is no Xun You! Guo Qing said that this is... is... is..."

Liu Jian looked at Guo Peng in disbelief, his eyes widened, his expression was astonished, and with a shake of his hand, he let go of Guo Peng's hand, stepped back step by step, and kept shaking his head.

"Guo Qing, I heard wrong, right?"

"No, Your Majesty heard it right. I hope that Your Majesty can give up the throne and give it to me. Gongda is just following what I said."

Guo Peng's smile is still so amiable.

But in Liu Jian's view, this smile has changed a bit.

He swallowed hard.

"Guo... Didn't Guo Qing say that he would always protect me and let me be the emperor?"

"What I said is not to let His Majesty be the emperor forever, but to let His Majesty be happy all the time."

"This...is this the same?"

Liu Jian was full of panic.

"Of course it's the same."

Guo Peng smiled and said: "Does Your Majesty think that only by being the emperor can His Majesty enjoy this kind of life forever?"

"Is not it?"

"of course not."

Guo Peng shook his head: "Even if your majesty is no longer the emperor, after the minister becomes emperor, he will be named a duke, and your majesty will still be a very big nobleman, who can enjoy the same or even better living conditions than now.

Your Majesty will have food, drink, and clothing, someone to wait on, someone to play with, have a lot of money to spend, have women, have children, and pass on His Majesty's title to your eldest son. Most importantly, Your Majesty Never be troubled by government affairs again. "

"..."

Liu Jian blinked: "Nothing will change? Just don't have to deal with government affairs?"

"Hasn't Your Majesty always disliked government affairs? I think it's annoying, but to be an emperor, this is necessary. Your Majesty likes to have fun, and your ministers are very supportive, but the emperor just has to work hard. Now Your Majesty is not yet an adult. Wait. After His Majesty becomes an adult, he will deal with government affairs day and night.

You can't play mahjong, you can't fight cockfights, you don't have time to eat delicious food, you don't even have time to sleep, and you have to face harassment from a conscientious courtier like Gong Da all the time, that's what His Majesty is willing to do thing? "

"Of course not! But, if I'm not the emperor, I can really..."

"Your Majesty, in this way, for example, Your Majesty knows that you can buy good gamecocks with money, and you can buy better gamecocks with more money. Then you can think that Your Majesty sold the emperor's title to the minister, and the minister Will pay His Majesty eternal carefree and boundless enjoyment."

Guo Peng smiled and made an analogy.

Liu Jian frowned immediately and began to think.

Xun You looked at Guo Peng in shock.

Ask the emperor to sell the title of the emperor...to him?

This...does anyone do business like this?

The title of emperor is... can be bought and sold?

It was hard for Xun You to understand Guo Peng's brain circuit anyway, but it seemed that Liu Jian could understand it.

"Eternal carefree and boundless enjoyment...Guo Qing, be more specific."

Liu Jian's eyes became sharper.

"To be more specific, I have just said that Your Majesty can enjoy the enjoyment that is even better than now. There is no need to reduce the cost of food and clothing. The place to live may be smaller, but it is still luxurious and noble, and there are people waiting for you. With protection, His Majesty will live more comfortably than now."

Guo Peng smiled and said: "No one will bother Your Majesty to study, no one will disturb His Majesty to have fun, this is my guarantee, Your Majesty, don't you believe your Majesty's guarantee?"

If you don't believe it, Liu Jian still doesn't believe Xun You and his gang, but he trusts Guo Peng.

At first he thought that Guo Peng was going to take away everything from him and let him return to that gloomy life, so he was very frightened, but being told by Guo Peng like this, it didn't seem like a big deal.

It is to sell the title of emperor to Guo Peng, and then Guo Peng will pay him extremely generous rewards, such as a lifetime of carefree and indulgent enjoyment and so on.

You don’t need to be bothered to study, you don’t need to be bothered to go to court, and the treatment is the same as now or even better, and you can enjoy it without taking responsibility. This...

This seems a bit wonderful?

"Of course it's not that I don't believe it, it's just...is everything Guo Qing said true?"

"Of course it is true. Your Majesty uses the title of emperor to buy glory and wealth from your ministers. Would you not give them to me? Your Majesty's future will be carefree and boundless happiness, I assure you."

Guo Peng faced Liu Jian with sincerity on his face.

Liu Jian seemed to see the Guo Peng who led him away from the gloomy place again.

He relaxed inexplicably.

"Can I ask a question?"

Liu Jian spoke.

"Please, Your Majesty."

Guo Peng smiled and nodded.

"Why does Guo Qing want to be emperor? She is so tired and unhappy."

Liu Jian stared at Guo Peng.

"I don't want to do it, but I have no choice."

Guo Peng sighed and shook his head: "Your Majesty should also know these days. In order to let the ministers become emperors, the heavens sent down countless auspicious omens, and the unicorn came to the world. There will be two days in the sky. tidy.

Then, 50 people in the whole city of Ye forced the ministers to become emperor together. Your Majesty, you didn’t see that, the 50 people were mighty and mighty, with a huge momentum. If the subject is the emperor, if the subject does not conform to the will of the people, what will happen? "

Guo Peng was helpless and smiled wryly.

"There is such a thing..."

The little emperor was also full of disbelief: "God's will, the hearts of the people, did you have it when I was the emperor?"

"There are also, but there are not so many, so obvious. Who knew that this time the minister would make such a big commotion, and the minister was caught off guard. He was forced to do nothing in Yecheng, so he had to go to Luoyang to avoid the limelight and find His Majesty by the way. Discuss this matter and buy the emperor's seat from His Majesty, otherwise, I will not dare to return to Yecheng."

Guo Peng spread his hands: "What's so good about the emperor? He is bitter and tired. He reads so many books. He goes to court every day to deal with government affairs. He has to get up before dawn, and he can only fall asleep after midnight. Decades are like a day. Not even freedom, what is this?
