Literacy is the privilege of aristocratic families, but Mrs. Wu and Sun Ce promoted the thousand-character script in the south of the Yangtze River under the banner of educating the people.After the thousand-character text, the laws of the court were promoted. The purpose was to enable everyone from young boys to sixty-year-old men to understand the laws of the court, so that everyone can consciously restrain their behavior.

Of course, those who can read the law have enough literacy to be ordinary officials at all levels of yamen.

In the memorial to the little emperor on behalf of Sun Ce, Zhang Zhao said: Now the world is chaotic, and the people are illiterate and do not know the words of the sages, so they are easily bewitched and used by those with ulterior motives.After letting the common people know the commonly used characters, it is planned to let every commoner in the Han Dynasty understand the laws of the court. The common people have enough knowledge of the laws of the court and know what to do and what not to do, so they obey the court. The people of the law will gradually increase, and the world will soon return to the order it was before.

The little emperor was very happy to read such an excerpt from Sun Ce. This is a long-term consideration with the world in mind.Educate the people to know the law and abide by the law, and restore the previous order in troubled times, well, rewards.

The Marquis of Wu granted by Sun Ce was originally a feudal title at the county level, and Wu County, which is subordinate to Wu County, was used as a feudal land.But let alone Wu County in Wu County, even the surrounding areas of the capital Luoyang, there are not many places that the imperial court can actually control.

There are fourteen prefectures in the world, the big governors rule several prefectures, and the small local tyrants support themselves even in a county, not to mention the countless counties that have set themselves up as prefects.

Sun Ce is willing to consider the long-term interests of the imperial court. It is not good to reflect Liu Zhang (Liu Yan has passed away and his son inherited Yizhou pastor) and Liu Biao who were sent to Yizhou and Jingzhou because they belonged to the clan.

Liu Zhang of Yizhou, he could not send things to the court on the pretext of war.Liu Biao of Jingzhou pretended to be deaf and dumb as if there was no imperial court, but in fact he pretended that there was no imperial court, and he had not paid tribute for several years...

Although Sun Ce was ordered by the emperor to be the governor of Yangzhou, Yangzhou was still occupied by Yuan Shu.He has been paying tribute for three years, and every year what he sends is what he and the queen need most.After thinking about it for a while, the little emperor and the empress decided to entrust the entire Wu county to Sun Ce, make Sun Ce's Marquis of Wu the county level, confer the title of Mrs. Wu as Wu Guotai, and canonize Sun Ce's newborn son, Sun Shao, as his eldest son.

At the same time, Sun Ce was also given the power to govern the people and an independent army.

Anyway, these things are already in Sun Ce's hands.

As soon as the holy intention came out, the little emperor was persuaded by the ministers in the court hall, saying that he gave Sun Ce too much power and too high a reward.

The little emperor was silent for a long time before he said: "Liu Yan and Liu Biao went to Jingzhou and Yizhou under the emperor's order. They have been occupying the two rich and prosperous states for a long time, and neither tax nor tribute. Can Jingzhou and Yizhou govern the civil rights and military power in my place? Liu Biao passed away. Afterwards, Liu Zhang inherited Yizhou. The imperial court has a precedent and law that the state herdsman can inherit. Before the Marquis of Wu won the whole of Yangzhou, he paid taxes and tribute to the imperial court. This year, the above table is for the imperial court’s long-term consideration. Rewarding them so that they can act cheaply is to show Marquis Wu's loyalty to the court before the governors and prefects of the world. If the governors of the fourteen prefectures in the world can all act like Marquis Wu, what embarrassment will the court have? Woolen cloth."

The ministers were refuted by the little emperor's bad words.According to the little emperor's expectation, each prefecture gave up a county's fiefdom to serve as the governor's food town, and in exchange for the [-] prefectures, it is of course the best to be as loyal to the king as Sun Ce.

But when Wang Mang did not usurp power...

It doesn't sound good to say that.

But who wants to get the property donated by Sun Ce on the front foot, and oppose the emperor in the court hall to give something that is actually in Sun Ce's hands.

Regardless of the high-sounding words of the little emperor, in fact, what he can do and give Sun Ce are some lip service awards and imperial seals.

But this is enough for Sun Ce.

The little emperor now understands very well that he used Sun Ce to uncover the non-taxation and non-tribute in Yizhou and Jingzhou, and then it depends on the performance of Liu Zhang and Liu Biao.If the two of them don't repent, when they find a suitable opportunity, they can use their disrespectful behavior to replace the two of them.

Sun Ce's reward embarrassed Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou who insisted on staying in Luoyang.After he got the position of Sikong, he was depressed and very unhappy.

This is uncomfortable because he has to give up the position of general to Yuan Shao, otherwise Yuan Shao will refuse to accept the order.He took a step back and gained a good reputation, but Sun Ce pushed him to the edge of the cliff again in the blink of an eye.

When Sun Ce first acquired Qu'a, he paid taxes and tribute to the imperial court. Although he has not yet acquired the whole territory of Yangzhou, the tax tribute is increasing year by year.This forced me to re-examine Yanzhou's tax tribute to the imperial court.

But since he took over Yanzhou, he has been worrying about feeding the soldiers.

Yanzhou has never recovered from the invasion by the Yellow Turban Army. First, there was war, then locust plagues, and then Lu Bu made trouble in Yanzhou for more than a year.Forcing himself to the point where he had to dig up the graves of Emperor Jingdi's brothers as military expenses, it was a vain tribute to the imperial court.

If it weren't for the fact that the little emperor and his wife still depended on Sun Ce from Yangzhou to subsidize their food and clothing, all the officials would have struggled to survive.

Cao Cao also hoped that the imperial court could give Yanzhou some relief.

It's just that Cao Cao knew in his heart that if Yanzhou proposed to give relief, he would not be able to govern a state other than being criticized by courtiers, and he would not get a grain of millet besides wasting his own saliva... But if he offered relief, he would get something. I spoke.

Yanzhou is so difficult, Cao Cao has to cry for himself every day.

But even though it was so difficult, I still chose some suitable tributes after thousands of choices, which was my heart for the emperor.But how come there are courtiers who can't see their feelings for the emperor, and swear that something is buried with them.

Hmph, don't act like you don't know.

Cao Cao hated the courtiers in Luoyang.

Of course, Cao Cao didn't think about things from the perspective of a young emperor.He dug the grave and found the head of the little emperor's great-uncle Liang Xiaowang Liu Wu, and then stood in the court hall and said that he was loyal to the emperor.

Does Liu Huihui believe it?

Liu Xie only whispered to Empress Fushou: "Cao Mengde had ulterior motives and dug up the ancestor's tomb as a tribute. I will avenge the ancestor in the future."

Cao Cao's unhappiness was also due to the fact that he failed to complete Xun Yu's plan to coerce the emperor and make the princes.The emperor refused to go to Xu County since he was a child, so he couldn't fully control the government.Staying in Luoyang every day is more of a suffocation.

Yang Feng and the others didn't know who gave the idea, they would rather be hungry than follow the path they had drawn.

But what about leaving Luoyang?

Cao Cao refused again.He was afraid that if he left with his front foot, he might not know who would snatch the emperor away with his back foot.If Yuan Shao won the emperor, he would now be in the pockets of the four states, and he would not listen to his orders.

Cao Cao led more than [-] troops to defend Luoyang, relying on supplies from Yanzhou for food and horses.Such days do not know when they will end.

The canonization given to Sun Ce by the little emperor made Cao Cao run on and started to get angry.

The upgrade of Sun Ce's Wuhou canonization really stimulated the governors of various states.

The first one was Yuan Shao.

After growing up with Gongsun Zan for many years, he occupied almost four states in Jizhou area.The complete eradication of Gongsun Zan is also just around the corner.After he returned to Luoyang from the east of the emperor, he resumed paying tribute and paying taxes to the court.

When the emperor returned to Luoyang, he was very happy after Cao Cao handed over the general to him.

But now that the emperor has promoted Sun Ce's title, it seems to be reminding himself.

Yuan Shao thought that his tax tribute to the court was a little less.Alas, it is impossible to restore the taxes and tributes of the four states before, but it would be nice to add more.

When Yuan Shao thought of it, he immediately did it. Finally, before the New Year's Eve, he increased the tax tribute to the little emperor. Added the people of Youzhou, so they have neglected the court and the emperor, etc., pleading guilty and comforting words.

When the little emperor saw Yuan Shao's memorial, he immediately arranged for the eunuch to read it out.The courtiers all understood that this was the result of Sun Ce's promotion of the Marquis of Wu and stimulating Yuan Shao, so they couldn't help but praise Yuan Shao's loyalty, and then praise the wiseness of the emperor.

All are happy.

After Sun Ce acquired Yuzhang County, he still retained Hua Xin, the former prefect of Yuzhang County, as the prefect of Yuzhang.Hua Xin was a man of integrity. When Sun Ce arrived at the city of Yuzhang County, he did not rush to attack the city. Instead, he sent Yu Fan, the former governor of Kuaiji Wang Lang, who had defected to him, to claim his benefits.Moreover, Sun Ce also asked Yu Fan to explain that as long as Liu Yao surrendered, he would never kill Liu Yao if he surrendered the army.

Hua Xin knew that Sun Ce was good at using troops, and he couldn't defend Yuzhang County himself, so he could only trust Sun Ce for the time being, and surrendered for the sake of the people of the whole county.

Hua Xin didn't expect Sun Ce to be true to his words, not only did he not kill Liu Yao, but even the people who followed Liu Yao in the past arranged a place to go as long as they surrendered.Moreover, Sun Ce also paid homage to Hua Xin's talent and virtue as a guest of honor.

Sun Ce said to him: "Captain Hua, if you don't want to stay in Yuzhang, I have no choice but to choose your successor from among my followers. As for who to choose, you and my late father are colleagues. You should know that I, A Weng, only left me a few generals to lead the army. For the sake of the people of Yuzhang County, you should stay in your post."

Hua Xin had no choice but to accept Sun Ce's retention and continue to be the prefect of Yuzhang County.

It was not only Sun Ce who was happy, but also the people of Yuzhang County.

Sun Ce arranged the affairs of Yuzhang County, and then hurried back to Qu'e. He wanted to go back to see his son.His mother sent him a letter, saying that Da Qiao gave birth to a child smoothly.

At that time, Sun Ce won Jiangxia County and was guarding against Liu Biao's sneak attack.Then when he won Changsha County and completed the siege of Yuzhang County, and then dealt with the affairs of Yuzhang, the child will be almost a hundred days old.

Sun Ce regretted that he had not been able to see his newborn son, nor had he seen him at the full moon, and now he would miss it again in a hundred days. .
