"A certain family is only a threat to you, and has no contribution at all."
He asked himself, he really couldn't think of what contribution he had made!
Could it be that
Just because of offering Dong Bai?
"That's all I want to say, let's stop here today."
Liu Bian waved his hands, got up and left.
"His Majesty!"
"There is a severe drought in Runan, and the crops are not harvested. It has caused a large-scale famine. Please also distribute disaster relief food to help the people of Runan tide over the difficulties."
An old man rushed out and stopped him.
He wanted to talk about this matter a few days ago, but he never found a suitable opportunity.
He also mentioned it to Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo only wanted to control power and had no time to pay attention to the affairs of Yuzhou.
So it has been delayed until now.
Now he sees that the Son of Heaven has taken control of the power, and even Dong Zhuo respects him, so he plays again!
"Your Majesty, there are too many hungry people in Runan. If we don't deal with it early, I'm afraid it will cause a civil uprising."
hungry people?
Runan, this place has always been rich, even if it encounters a drought, it is impossible for it to be so severe.
Where have the common people's food reserves gone?
What about the court's official food reserves?
You don't need to think about it, you know, there must be someone who is corrupt, corrupts the official style, and fishes the common people.
Liu Bian's first thought was to send honest ministers like Chen Ji and Wang Yun to support the people.
But as soon as this idea came up, he was immediately rejected by himself.
Runan is Yuan's hometown,
If an honest person is sent there, the local officials will definitely deceive and conceal it, and become a hindrance to the imperial court's disaster relief.
It is even possible to use disaster relief as an excuse to enrich one's own pockets.
The relief food could not reach the hands of the victims at all!
Therefore, if you want to save the people, you must first get rid of corrupt officials!
Liu Bian thought for a moment, and suddenly thought of a good idea.
Since you want us to be a fool, of course we have to use the method of a fool,
His eyes swept across the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, searching for those who had a very bad reputation and preferably had a criminal record of corruption.
quickly,
Found one!
Zuo Feng!
This guy is not dead?Great!
Anyone who knows the Three Kingdoms knows that Zuo Feng is notorious!
Five years ago, the Yellow Turban riots,
Lu Zhi led his troops to march and besieged Zhangjiao's more than 3 troops with [-] people for several months.
At this time Zuo Feng came to investigate the military situation and took the opportunity to ask Lu Zhi for a bribe, but he held a grudge after being rejected.
When Zuo Feng returned to the court, he slandered Lu Zhi for standing still and neglecting the morale of the army.
So much so that Lu Zhi was demoted.
Emperor Liu Hong sent Dong Zhuo to replace Lu Zhi, but was finally defeated by Zhang Jiao, almost annihilating the entire army, which affected the overall battle situation.
Later, Huangfusong and Zhu Jun came to support and defeated the Yellow Turban Army. They interceded for Lu Zhi, and Lu Zhi was restored to his official position.
Although Liu Hong punished Zuo Feng, it was painless, so this guy stayed in the court.
After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Zuo Feng immediately surrendered to him and bribed Dong Zhuo with a lot of money.
Dong Zhuo recommended him to be Tingwei Zuojian, and he was promoted to three ranks.
This kind of person with poor character and poor official rank should of course be "reused" properly!
"The occurrence of the disaster must be due to ineffectiveness of local officials, or corruption."
"I appointed Zuo Feng as the supervisor of Yuzhou to supervise the officials of Yuzhou!"
"Anyone who is found to be corrupt can go to jail without a trial and report to the court!"
Liu Bian immediately wrote the letter of appointment and handed it to Zuo Feng.
What?
Go to jail without a trial? ? ?
Everyone was completely dumbfounded.
How can a person like Zuo Feng exercise power in place of the emperor!
Chen Ji, the senior official who played the role, knew what kind of person Zuo Feng was. Asking him to supervise this matter would only make things worse!
Son of Heaven,
Confused!
Chen Ji stomped his feet secretly, not caring about his colleagues' face anymore,
"Your Majesty, Zuo Feng is greedy and has many evil deeds."
"Let him deal with the disaster in Yuzhou, I'm afraid it will add fuel to the fire!"
"Your Majesty, please sympathize with the suffering of the victims and choose another good minister!"
If it were someone else, they might be scruples about Zuo Feng's power and speak more tactfully.
But Chen Ji is a veteran of the four dynasties, and the Chen family is even more famous, so naturally he would not take a clown in his eyes.
He dared to expose Zuo Feng's background in front of all the officials.
Zuo Feng gritted his teeth with hatred, but he had nothing to do with him.
"Chen Qing wants to call me stupid and incompetent, you can say it directly, there is no need to beat around the bush, pointing fingers at Sang Huai?"
Liu Bian glanced at Chen Ji indifferently.
Chill the back,
Chen Ji shuddered all over.
Your Majesty's eyes,
too frightening.
It seemed that as long as he said one more sentence, his life would be lost!
He retreated helplessly.
Although the other officials knew that this appointment was absurd, seeing that the veterans of the four dynasties, Da Honglu and Chen Ji were reprimanded by His Majesty, who would dare to stand out?
Besides, Your Majesty is very different today.
Even the cruel Dong Zhuo is as cute as a sheep!
No one dares to be the first bird before they figure out the situation.
They didn't know that Liu Bian did the opposite, just to get rid of the bottom line, completely solve the root cause of Runan's disaster, and return the people of Runan and even Yuzhou to a bright future!
He will send Jin Yiwei to monitor Zuo Feng secretly. If he really hurts the interests of the entire Yuzhou people,
Jin Yiwei will know what to do.
Zuo Feng didn't know that he had been used as a spearman, he was overjoyed, and hurried out to receive the order, "I will live up to your majesty's trust!"
The history of supervision in Yuzhou, this is a fat job!
Most importantly, His Majesty also gave him the power to kill first and play later.
When the late emperor was around, he bribed the ten permanent servants, but he never won such an honor.
With this power, which of the officials in Yuzhou would dare not listen to him, and who would dare not to curry favor with him.
Taking the opportunity to blackmail them, it's not easy!
【Ding! 】
[The host greatly reuses treacherous ministers, everyone in the court, including Dong Zhuo, thinks your move is ridiculous! 】
[Reward 1000 million shi for grain, [-] shi for various pepper seeds! 】
The notification sound of the system appeared in Liu Bian's ear.
"Chili seeds?"
Liu Bian was overjoyed, this is a good thing.
He was from Star City before time travel, without chili, the food seemed to lack soul.
Any delicacies are not to his liking.
Now with a thousand stones of various pepper seeds, various peppers can be cultivated, and then various pepper products can be produced.
So fried pork, fish head with chopped pepper, spicy chicken, plasma duck...
These can all be done.
babble~
Just thinking of the names of these dishes makes the salivary glands unable to shut down.
Gotta plant the peppers quickly!
But first, find some coolies.
