In any case, in the Taixing four years after the Yantie Conference, the court in Xu County actually entered a rather rare period of political stability.

Naturally, there are many factors that influence this, but fundamentally speaking, most people are actually busy, so they naturally have no time to bother with trivial matters.

The common people have to take care of Zhuang He, the nobles are planning their fields, and the ruler Cao Cao wants to stabilize Jizhou. Xu County is somewhat relaxed here. It is not like the period when General Hussar attacked. There seems to be an atmosphere of unrest everywhere.

, something might break out at any time.

The Jizhou Group collapsed, Yuan Shao died, and the Yuan family fell apart. But this does not mean that the Jizhou gentry was immediately labeled as losers and fell to the ground.

Overall, the gentry in Jizhou failed. The agent Yuan Shao was eliminated. However, the gentry in Jizhou did not suffer much. Even after Yuan Shao's death, the three Yuan brothers had no time to pay attention to these rural tyrants due to the mutual disputes between them.

These guys have more opportunities to control the place. After all, no one from above is in charge. So what to say or calculate in the countryside, of course, it is these nobles who have the final say.

Just like some companies in later generations went bankrupt, their legal entities and a large group of people who worked in the company were naturally destroyed, but this does not mean that their investors will also go bankrupt. There is no way that investors can still withstand the creditors.

In the name of the company, the most critical things within the company were plundered in advance as compensation for its investment, and the remaining tables, chairs, benches, etc. were thrown to the next company to open a company at a reduced price...

So now the Jizhou gentry are negotiating with Cao Cao. No one wants to break up with each other, and no one wants to lose the initiative.

But what is clear is that the Jizhou nobles and Cao Cao will eventually reach a certain degree of agreement. After all, there is at least the hussar general Fei Qian. Even because of Fei Qian, the integration of the Jizhou nobles and Cao Cao will be faster and more rapid.

Smoother.

The Emperor and Empress Cao seemed to be getting more and more harmonious. As Empress Cao's belly grew bigger day by day, Liu Xie seemed to be more calm than a father. He no longer blindly competed with the Cao Group, but with each other.

There seems to be a more harmonious atmosphere underneath.

Of course, many people actually know that such a peaceful atmosphere may not last long.

It is very realistic. What is in front of us is the disaster situation in various places. Now we are providing disaster relief and busy replanting the fields, so no one has paid attention to the issue of the subsequent autumn harvest. If taxes are reduced and exempted according to the situation this year, and there is no war, then how much will it happen?

To ease things up a bit, if we still want to maintain the original taxes, and even mobilize civilians to assist in the battle, then...

But the question is, will Cao Cao stop fighting?

No one can say this, and it seems that from south to north, everywhere is full of murderous intentions. Facing the inside of the court, Liu Xie showed some methods, which seemed to have some effect, but for this external threat, Liu Xie

No more power.

Although Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, showed some ability to coordinate conflicts and some political skills through the Salt and Iron Conference, he was still immature to these old men who played politics. Of course, this is not the case for ordinary young people.

For the emperor, immaturity is not a problem, because other emperors still have opportunities, can still make mistakes, and still have time to learn, but for Liu Xie, these learning opportunities are very costly.

Whether the emperor Liu Xie could really turn into "Liu Xiu the second", even the most optimistic royalists may not have a sure idea. This is somewhat understandable. After all, the forbidden curse of the great mage Liu Xiu is not what anyone thinks.

You can learn by studying. These people place more hope that Liu Xie can become another emperor, an emperor who is also young and turbulent and succeeds to the throne.

To be fair, in a country where the banner of the Han Dynasty has been flying for three to four hundred years, even though Liu's status as emperor is now somewhat shaken, many people will still leave a place in their hearts.

As for the current situation...

There is no way. In fact, many things, or rules, have broken down. For example, the simplest one is that officials sent abroad in the Han Dynasty must have family members in Kyoto. Whether they are prefects, governors, or state shepherds, their family members must be in Kyoto.

Staying in Kyoto, especially the eldest son, must be in Kyoto!

Even during the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, who was known for his mediocrity, Liu Yu was sent as the governor of Youzhou, leaving his son Liu He in Luoyang; Liu Yan was sent as the shepherd of Yizhou, and his son Liu Fan had to stay in the capital...

This used to be an iron law that could not be changed. If an expatriate official dared to escape with his eldest son, it would be a waste of money. It was either rebellion or treason. If the court did not send troops to arrest him immediately!

But what now?

Cao Pi followed Cao Cao everywhere. As for the hussar general Fei Qian, there was only the word "hehe" left.

Once a rule is broken, it's hard to stand it up again!

Therefore, rules are very important!

Rules cannot be broken!

What are the rules of the Han Dynasty? They represent the interests of the broadest gentry!

What are the rules of the Han Dynasty law? It is to protect the interests of all gentry children from being infringed!

Just like if a merchant dares to sell an ordinary duck as a noble duck of a nobleman, he must have ruined the name of the merchant who sells ducks. Randomly confiscating the house will never be forgiven, but on the other hand, if the nobleman deliberately smashed the craftsman, even if

If he is disabled, he will only be compensated two hundred yuan at most...

The first thing a local official does when he takes office is to summon the village elders and assure the local powerful on the spot that anyone who has trouble with the gentry and local powerful will have trouble with him! The people... well, the local powerful does not care about anything.

If you don’t catch, you won’t catch. If you can’t move, don’t move! You will always answer your call. Don’t disturb anything. If you don’t get called, you will be there whenever you call...

No matter how bad it is, you must show that when faced with problems, contradictions and pressure, you will show the courage and responsibility of a big local official! Worry about the local powerful, choke up because of the difficulties of the big rural households...

This is the rule!

These are the "rules" you should have and understand as a member of the Han Dynasty and as a high official of the Han Dynasty!

As a result, there is now a nonsense "Law of Loan Order"...

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when nobles, nobles, and ministers borrowed money from the common people, it was already usury. More was 100%, less was 50%, and the least was 20%. Therefore, this "Law of Loans"

What the hell is 5%? There is such a thing?!

Fei Qian, Te Meow’s hussar general, has water in his head?

The emperor eats the nobles, the nobles eat the common people, the common people eat the soil, the soil eats... well, don't worry about what the soil eats, anyway, isn't this an iron law? Murder to pay for life, debt to pay for money, isn't this a rule that has not changed for thousands of years?

Five percent?

Those people in Shanxi are so pitiful...

Regardless of whether it was Jizhou or Yuzhou, while these Shandong nobles were indignant, they also felt some pity for the Shanxi nobles, which was probably similar to the feeling of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox.

There was a lot of confusion for a while.

Jizhou, Yuzhou, various discussions in groups.

Wine shops, manors, all kinds of noisy sounds.

The aroma of meat, the flavor of tea, and the stretching of the neck among the curtains.

"Heaven commits evil, but it can be violated. Self-inflicted evil must not be ignored...ah ha..."

"Do evil! Do evil!"

"Listen to a certain saying! After this incident, there will be chaos in Guanzhong!"

"There will be chaos! There will be chaos!"

"The hussar's behavior is foolish and unethical, and will bring about his own destruction..."

"Destruction! Destruction!"

After getting high, the nobles' faces were flushed, and they were hugging the young girl who had just been sold in the past few days. They were in high spirits, raising their glasses and laughing loudly, as if they had foreseen the day of the hussar general Fei Qian's demise.

,coming soon!

I thought it was really a "Hussar", but it turned out to be "Dong Zhuo"! A calm, thoughtful, and powerful Hussar is undoubtedly worrying and scary, but if the previous definitions are removed, only

Without pure strength and confused mind, he is nothing more than a martial artist!

A martial artist!

That being the case, what else is there to worry about?

If that's the case, what else is there to be afraid of?

Haha, come on, raise your glass!

Better to drink!

……o(^.^)Y!!Y(^.^)a……

Nanzhong.

Dianchi Lake.

The place where Liu Bei garrisoned his troops.

"If you want to march into Jiaozhi, you must first pass through the Gate of Hell!" Liu Bei said in a deep voice, "We must fight here!"

The Gate of Hell is not an illusory barrier in religion, but an unavoidable and dangerous barrier before Liu Bei and others.

Detour, of course.

But if Liu Bei makes a detour, but Shi Xie can walk in a straight line, and then Shi Xie raids Liu Bei's rear, and the detour is only halfway done, should he continue to advance, or return to rescue?

Therefore, to open the gate of hell is to pry open the gate of Jiaozhi.

Heading south from Central Sichuan, crossing the Lushui River, passing through the Dianchi Lake in the hinterland of South Central Sichuan, and then winding along the valley, you will arrive at Guimen Mountain and Longgouling. In the 17th year of Jianwu, General Fubo of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ma Yuan, led two troops

More than 10,000 people who conquered Linyi also passed through this pass. They once erected a monument and called it the Ghost Gate, which shows how dangerous it is.

Guimen Gate is located between two mountains. It is built with huge rocks to form a city wall that is three feet high, five feet thick, and more than ten feet long. It is surrounded by Guimen Mountain and Longgouling Mountain on the left and right. The mountains and stone walls are upright, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Between the two mountains, there is only about two or three miles of flat land where troops can be stationed. In the narrow valley in front of the pass, there is not enough space to accommodate a large number of people and horses to form a queue, which means that no matter how many troops there are, the number of inputs is limited.

, under consumption, even if a large army blocks the pass, they can only watch and sigh.

With such a dangerous pass, the Jiaozhi Kingdom can always be on the edge of the Han Dynasty's territory, almost as far away as possible...

It is almost an impossible task to conquer such a pass. It can be said that since the official establishment of Guimen Pass, there has been no experience of being forcibly breached. With such a dangerous pass as a reliable place to rely on, after many years of rest and recuperation

, Jiaozhi Shixie was basically not afraid of the conquests of Liu Bei and others, and even scorned them a little.
To be continued...
