Chapter 48: The Wise Yun Yang

This kind of thing is inevitable.

A long time ago, when Yun Zhao went to visit the old heroes, he felt sorry for them countless times.

An old hero with outstanding achievements in the north and south, with medals on his clothes, after the victory, as said in "Mulan Ci" - twelve rounds of military service, rewarded by hundreds of strong men , the Khan asked what he wanted, Mulan didn’t need Shang Shulang, she was willing to travel thousands of miles and send her son back to her hometown...

He returned to the small mountain village and studied for fifty years...

The old hero was sitting on the low chair in the nave, his demeanor still serious. His skinny hands and face full of age spots did not make him look old. On the contrary, he looked at every official with cautious and critical eyes. .

Even for a young official like Yun Zhao, he looked at him from head to toe, and finally commented that Yun Zhao was a clean person in front of the high-ranking officials who knelt down to him.

Yunzhao, who has been on the job for less than 100 days, is said to be a clean person.

However, the old man’s gaze had already shocked Yun Zhao, who had taken some work papers home, into a cold sweat. The first thing he did after returning home was to quietly return the papers.

Since then, except for the salary from the state and the New Year's Day gifts, he has really never taken any advantage.

From then on, Yun Zhao really believed that such a thing as spirit really existed. The reason why we doubt it is entirely because we are not good.

Yun Zhao would rather believe that people like Yunzhou and Yunlian are indeed tired of the battlefield and just want to go home and live a peaceful life. However, what is the probability of this? He was very doubtful about this.

Doubt is the nature of an emperor...

And spirit, this thing can be passed down for eternity.

Yun Zhao really wants to discover this spirit in Lantian, but unfortunately, there is not enough soil in Lantian to cultivate this spirit.

Once people do not have a noble spirit, they will become people like Yunzhou and others...

Nanyang is vast and sparsely populated. In fact, most of the northern part of the Ming Dynasty is now It's all like this.

Seeing the frail old man holding the plow, the small body and the big-headed child leading a weak cattle to plow the land on the plain, Yun Zhao felt that what he had eaten in the morning had turned into lead. , falling heavily in the stomach.

The army in Lantian County is undoubtedly powerful, even powerful beyond the limitations of this era, but it currently does not mean much to the grandparents and grandchildren who work hard.

For them, the great truth is not as important as the white rice in the rice vat.

Perhaps, this is the most fundamental pursuit of these people.

Having a full stomach is their highest spiritual pursuit and nothing else.

Extracting spiritual connotation from daily life is the highest political quality. Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, all politicians whose names have been recorded in history have their own political mottos.

Whether it is 'after having enough food and clothing, you will learn etiquette', or 'water can carry a boat and capsize it', or 'share the world with the scholar-bureaucrats', or 'the branches are low under the weight of snow, and there is no mud when they are low, but once the red sun rises, they remain the same. Be equal to the sky. ’

These words often represent the characteristics of an era and the temperament of each empire.

Until now, the Lantian Empire has not had these things.

During this tour, Yun Zhao discovered many problems. When he returned to the room and took Liucheng's summary, he was in a daze facing the foot-thick summary of the problems.

“Forward it to the big study room and distribute it to officials above the head of the district. Tell them that these problems are not a regional problem, but common problems in our territory. Everyone must brainstorm and come up with a solution. Plan.

When it is time to amend the law, we will amend the law. When it is time to review, we will review it. When it is time to apologize, we will apologize. When it is time to compensate, we will compensate. Without the courage to face our mistakes, our career will not last long."

After Yun Zhao issued this order, he stayed in Nanyang for four days. During these four days, Hou Guo Prison was reorganized. Yunfu Army.

On the fourth day, Yun Zhao reviewed the legion, approved the adjustment of Hou Guojiao, and promised to send more rigorously trained Yun clan excellent soldiers to the Yunfu legion.

And warned the Yun clan members in the army that military law takes precedence! Once they are kicked out of the army, they will never want to enter the official career again in this life.

Yun Zhao was extremely serious when he said these words, basically cutting off these people's chance thoughts.

After Yunzhou and others heard the news, they were somewhat disappointed. Leaving the army was also a difficult decision for them.

On the fifth day, Yun Zhao left Nanyang. This time, he went straight to Luoyang.

Like the Lei Heng Army, the Yunyang Army also chose not to enter Luoyang City. However, Luoyang City actually fell into the hands of Lan Tian.

Super large cities always recover easily from disasters, so when Yun Zhao arrived in Luoyang, it was not surprising at all that Yun Yang greeted Yun Zhao thirty miles away from Luoyang.

"Luoyang has been governed by me so that no one picks up things on the road, no house is closed at night, everyone has clothes to wear, and everyone has food to eat! It will not be a problem for you to make Luoyang your capital in the future!"

This is Yun Yang's way of speaking - bold, shameless, boastful.

Han Lingshan, who came to greet Yun Zhao, saw the suspicion on Yun Zhao's face and said seriously: "Don't tell me, this time, this guy didn't brag.

It’s just that the clothes are old clothes that he went back to Lantian to collect donations, and the food he eats is millet, millet, corn, and sweet potatoes, especially sweet potatoes, which are enough for the people of Luoyang for half a year.”

Yun Zhao Chainsaw. General eyes once again fell on Yun Yang. Yun Yang was looked at by Yun Zhao very unnaturally, and he laughed and said: "We have white rice, wheat, and a lot of dried meat, but I took it to the market." Replace it with whole grains so that you can eat it for a long timesome.

Old Han, tell me quickly, or he will eat me.

Han Lingshan said with a smile: "When the intruders left, they cleaned up Luoyang thoroughly and took many people away by force. However, even so, Luoyang City There are still many people staying here, more than we expected.

There is not enough food to eat, and this is also a hopeless solution.

At least, after we took over Luoyang, no one died of starvation, and the market gradually became prosperous. "

Yun Zhao's eyes were still cold as he looked at Yun Yang and said, "Are you changing the plan of the Secretary of State for Administration?

Yun Yang immediately screamed and bumped into Tianqu, patted his chest and said: "Those bullshit officials from the Government Affairs Department can't even check the number of people in Luoyang. When I came, the whole city was too hungry to leave." People who move.

If I hadn’t been smart, someone would have starved to death.

Yun Zhao turned to look at Han Lingshan and said, "Don't you know what kind of arrangement the Secretary of State has?"

Han Lingshan smiled bitterly and said: "I know, the Chief Affairs Secretary originally used to reduce the food supply in Luoyang to achieve the purpose of allowing those who stayed in Luoyang to return to their hometowns to receive relief. Now, Yun Yang has done this." Too bad.

Yun Zhao looked painfully at Yunzhou, who was guarding him carefully. Yunlian glanced at Yun Yang, who was still a little smug. He looked up to the sky and sighed: "I, the Yun family, have a bandit." , good people came out, but unexpectedly they also came out with sticks.

Han Lingshan chuckled and said, "Lord, please keep your voice down, this is our Yushan secret." "

Yun Zhao shook his head helplessly, Yun Yang was still complacent.

The walls of Luoyang City looked very dilapidated, but they were still as tall as ever.

There are still large areas of blood stains on the mottled outer wall of the city wall that have not been cleaned up. Even though the blood stains have dried long ago, it does not prevent flies from clinging to them in groups.

Yun Zhao stood on the city wall. At the door, there was a faint stench at the end of his nose.

Seeing Yun Zhao take out a handkerchief and cover his nose, Yun Yang sighed and said, "I can't help it. I've washed it with water, but there's still a smell. I heard that the intruder was the one who broke in." When attacking Luoyang, no less than 700 people died under the city gate.

The rotting corpses accumulated here for half a month before being slowly cleared away, so the smell cannot be washed away. "

Yun Zhao said softly: "Perhaps, only time can wash away the sadness here bit by bit. "

Han Lingshan said: "This time may not be short. "

As soon as he entered Luoyang City, Yun Zhao saw a large group of people kneeling in darkness on the street.

He then rode out of Luoyang City and stared at Yun Yang again. Look.

Yun Yang spread his hands and said: "Not all bad things are done by me. "

Yun Zhao nodded and said to Yun Yang: "We will stay in the military camp tonight. "

Yun Yang smiled and said: "Okay, let's drink tonight. ”

After that, he led Yun Zhao and his party straight to the legion camp.

The land after the autumn harvest is very flat, very suitable for war horses to gallop. Fifty miles away from Luoyang City, we arrived at the base camp of the Yunyang Army.

He built a walled city here. The flags and flags on the walled city were fluttering, which was much more energetic than the flags flying at the top of Luoyang City.

When Yun Zhao entered the stronghold, everyone shouted a salute. Seeing that Yun Zhao returned the salute, and there were no new arrangements, they went to do their own things. Yun Zhao was very concerned about this. satisfy.

Before drinking the first glass of wine, Yun Zhao first used the wine in the glass to pay homage to the victims. He did not get the second glass of wine into his throat, but fell to the ground. Just when he was about to pour the third glass of wine. When he was having three glasses of wine, he was stopped by Yun Yang.

"They don't deserve it!"

Yun Zhao looked at Yun Yang in surprise.

“Those with integrity were beaten to death, those with integrity were beaten to death, those with a little bit of integrity ran away, those who dared to rebel followed the intruders, and the rest were just a group of people who wanted to live. They don’t care who comes into the city, they only care whether they can afford to offend him or not. As long as they can’t offend him, they will kneel down and be as docile as a sheep.”

"So, you changed the regulations of the Secretary for Civil Affairs on purpose, right?"

Yun Yang drank a glass of wine and said: "Call these people in Luoyang City It's actually pretty good. If we give the fertile land in the countryside to people with guts to cultivate it, even if we allocate the land to these people, they won't be able to keep it, and maybe they won't even dare to take it.

Since they are the only ones. Their requirement is to live, so let them live. You see, I exchanged good things like white rice, wheat, and dried meat for coarse grains and lent them to them.

Actually, I was prepared. I left some white rice, wheat, and dried meat, just waiting to see if anyone would come to me to collect them. After all, the notice I posted clearly stated that they could collect these good things.

Since they acquiesced that they did not deserve better treatment, then don't blame me for using coarse grains to deal with them.

A Zhao, you once said that you have to fight for power. If you don’t fight for it, no one will give it to you. ”
