Chapter 94 I don't want someone with dirty hands and feet
Yanzhou City.
The capital city of Yanzhou is also the seat of the power center of the entire Yanzhou.
These days, because the mobs in Yanzhou raised their flags to rebel, they captured the six prefectures of Yanzhou one after another, casting a big shadow on this state capital city.
The atmosphere in the capital city of the state was once tense.
Everyone was afraid that Yanzhou City would also be overrun by the mob rebels.
If so, what should they do when the time comes.
But today, everyone's fear and worry are gone.
Because the mob rebels in the entire Yanzhou were pacified by Lu Bu and [-] Bingzhou wolf riders sent by the imperial court to suppress the rebellion.
From now on, there will be no mob rebellion in Yanzhou.
This swept away the shadow that was cast over Yanzhou City in an instant.
The once tense atmosphere also dissipated.
At this time, in Yanzhou City, in the yamen of the state government.
State government officials, large and small, gathered together, and each official had a relaxed expression on his face.
No more frowning than before.
Everyone looked at the two figures sitting on the main seat in the lobby.
To be precise, everyone's eyes were focused on the figure on the right wearing the armor.
As for the figure on the left, the officials of the state government office had already visited in advance.
"General Lu Zhonglang is really brave. In just three days, with only [-] iron cavalry, he annihilated all the rebels in Yanzhou and quelled the rebellion of Yanzhou."
"It really opened my eyes to this officer."
"This official is here to thank General Lu Zhonglang on behalf of the entire Yanzhou people."
"If it wasn't for Lu Zhonglang's extermination of these rebels in such a short period of time, I really can't imagine how bad the situation in Yanzhou would have become."
An official sitting on the right below stood up and bowed his hands to Lu Bu.
The official's name is Cui Hao, the prefect of Yanzhou.
The thirteen prefectures and hundreds of counties in Yanzhou are all under the jurisdiction of Cui Hao, the prefect, and Cui Hao can be said to be in control.
It can be said that it is not an exaggeration for Cui Hao to be a great official in the frontier.
Therefore, Cui Hao stood up on behalf of the entire Yanzhou to thank Lu Bu for his contribution to suppressing thieves.
And the figure sitting on the right side of the main seat in the main hall wearing armor was none other than Lu Bu.
After Lü Bu took [-] Bingzhou wolves and annihilated all the mob rebels in Yanzhou, he brought [-] Bingzhou wolves to Yanzhou City to join the army of [-].
The [-] Shenwuwei army entered the state capital of Yanzhou under the leadership of Fang Xuanling and a group of Shenwuwei generals the day before after more than two days of rapid march.
In this way, besides Lu Bu, the identity of the other person sitting in the main seat in the lobby is ready to be revealed.
Not Fang Xuanling, the imperial envoy of the imperial court, who else could it be?
"Yes! Zhizhou is right."
"General Lu Zhonglang is really brave. With so many rebels in Yanzhou, General Lu Zhonglang took three thousand cavalry and wiped them all out in just three days."
"Even if the old lady is reborn, it may not be possible."
"General Lu Zhonglang did it. He is really a rare general in my week."
"I believe that in a few days, General Lu Zhonglang's reputation will spread throughout the four states, and even the whole world."
The official next to Cui Hao also stood up, looked at Lu Bu who was sitting on the right side of the main seat, and praised him.
"That's right, Lu Zhonglang is very brave, and the lower officials really admire him."
"With General Lu Zhonglang's troops to pacify the chaos, then these rebels in the four northern states will not be able to turn a big wave."
……
Immediately afterwards, the officials sitting on both sides of the lobby stood up one by one and flattered Lu Bu who was sitting on the right seat.
In fact, these officials of Yanzhou Prefecture were indeed shocked by Lu Bu.
No one would have thought that before the army sent by the imperial court to fight the rebellion arrived, the mid-ranking general, who was canonized by the imperial court, came to Yanzhou with [-] cavalry in less than a day.
In just three days, he led three thousand cavalry to wipe out all the rebels in Yanzhou.
There is no need to wait for the [-] counter-insurgency army.
With only three thousand iron cavalry, all the rebels in Yanzhou were wiped out.
Such a result, how can it not be shocking.
Even if the rebels in Yanzhou are basically a gang of mobs who have just put down their farm tools, their fighting strength is weak, their armor and stomach are incomplete, let alone discipline.
But there are so many rebels!
As the saying goes, too many ants can kill an elephant.
With so many rebels, these officials couldn't imagine how they were wiped out by three thousand cavalry in just three days.
Lu Bu's face flashed a hint of impatience as he listened to the touts of these officials.
To be honest, what he dislikes the most is the lip service of civil servants.
What he said was hype, but his heart was full of bad water.
Taking the rebels in Yanzhou as an example, Lu Bu didn't believe at all that if the Yanzhou officials put all their efforts to suppress these mobs who had just put down their farm tools, they would not be able to suppress them.
Even if it can't be wiped out, at least it can contain the situation.
How could it be possible for these rebels to break through half of Yanzhou's prefectures in a short period of time.
Are these local officials really made of paper?
Obviously not.
The problem lies with these officials.
Fang Xuanling, who was next to him, saw the impatience on Lu Bu's face, and immediately interrupted the officials' praise for Lu Bu; "Okay, this official understands everyone's admiration for General Lu."
"However, now is not the time to say that."
"General Lu has already taken three thousand iron cavalry to exterminate all the mob rebels in Yanzhou, and quelled the rebellion in Yanzhou."
"Then the next step is to quickly appease the people of the entire Yanzhou, and there must be no more riots like this."
"Especially in those places where the drought was severe before, we must double the amount of disaster relief to help the people."
"This time, the palace has been entrusted by the emperor to take full responsibility for supervising and inspecting the disaster relief."
"I don't want to see any official who ignores the people and finally leads the people to rise up."
"If anyone dares to slack off, don't blame this official for being rude to him."
Fang Xuanling glanced at the Yanzhou officials in the hall below, and said in a cold voice.
Now that the chaos in Yanzhou has just been settled, it is the opportunity for the court to regain the people's hearts and gather public opinion.
If at this time, there are officials who ignore the life and death of the people, and arouse people's revolt, then it will be difficult to deal with it.
Therefore, Fang Xuanling had to clarify the scandal with these officials in Yanzhou first.
When these officials in Yanzhou heard Fang Xuanling's words, their faces were solemn, and they glanced at each other.
As the magistrate of Yanzhou and the highest official in Yanzhou, Cui Hao was naturally the first to speak out; "Master Fang, don't worry, all the officials in Yanzhou led by the lower officials must obey Master Fang's arrangement and do their best to assist Master Fang in disaster relief."
"However, the four northern states suffer from severe drought, although the drought in Yanzhou is slightly lighter than that in the other three states."
"But there is still a lot of money needed for disaster relief. You have also seen the current situation in Yanzhou, Mr. Fang."
"The prefecture can't provide much food for disaster relief at all. I wonder how much relief money the imperial court has allocated to Yanzhou this time?"
Cui Hao looked at Fang Xuanling.
If you want to rescue people from disasters, you need money and food.
It's not just talking about it.
"Lord Cui, don't worry, the Ministry of Household Affairs has prepared a disaster relief plan for the four northern states."
"The Ministry of Housing has also made an estimate of the extent of the drought in Yanzhou."
"The relief money allocated by the imperial court to Yanzhou is 800 million taels, which should be enough to relieve the people affected by the drought and war in Yanzhou."
Fang Xuanling glanced at Cui Hao and said.
Yanzhou is the one with the lightest drought in the four northern states, and 800 million taels are enough for the entire Yanzhou to rescue the people.
Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, the eyes of these officials in Yanzhou below lit up.
Especially the figure of '800 million' made the eyes of more than half of the officials shine.
However, the officials were quick to hide the past.
Even so, he still couldn't escape Fang Xuanling's eyes.
Fang Xuanling glanced at the Yanzhou officials below and said, "The 800 million taels are allocated to Yanzhou for disaster relief by the imperial court. I don't want anyone with dirty hands and feet."
"Do you understand everything?"
Fang Xuanling glanced at the Yanzhou officials below.
These Yanzhou officials heard the words and returned in unison; "Don't worry, Master Fang, the lower officials understand."
How could these Yanzhou officials not understand Fang Xuanling's meaning after spending so many years in the local officialdom!
However, to understand is to understand, to say is to say.
But whether you listen or not, and whether your hands and feet are clean or not, is unknown.
"That's good, then let's hurry up and prepare for disaster relief!"
Since all the rebels in Yanzhou have been wiped out, the disaster relief must be put on the agenda immediately.
Fang Xuanling didn't want any more troubles to happen because the disaster relief was not timely.
After the Yanzhou officials left, Fang Xuanling glanced at Lu Bu beside him and said, "What? I just saw that you are not used to these people's flattery?"
"Humph."
"None of these officials is a good thing."
"If they really care about the people's court, the situation in Yanzhou will not be as chaotic as it is now."
"Do you really believe what they just said?"
"I just saw these people. When I heard the 800 million taels of silver, their eyes kept shining."
Lu Bu glanced at the backs of the leaving Yanzhou officials, snorted coldly, and looked at Fang Xuanling.
Lu Bu didn't believe that Fang Xuanling, who was designated as a minister by the emperor, would not be able to see the problems that he could see.
Fang Xuanling smiled lightly after hearing Lu Bu's words; "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, the important thing is that I have already told them very clearly."
"If they want to court death, no one can stop them."
"The King of Hell is hard to persuade a damned ghost."
"Besides, I never believed them."
Fang Xuanling said with a faint smile.
Who is Fang Xuanling?
This is a person who has made a name for himself in the past, and is one of the outstanding people who have ascended to Lingyan Pavilion.
It is strange that such a character can easily trust others.
When Lu Bu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he stood up directly; "When will you do it?"
"I, Lu Bu, wanted to kill these officials for a long time?"
"As a court official, you can't even manage the local area well, so what's the use of them?"
Lu Bu stared at Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling shook his head; "Now is not the time, wait until you wipe out Xiaoyao Wang Zhouqian and pacify Daizhou."
"These officials are not simple. Not to mention that they come from a wealthy family, their relationship with the local government is also intricate."
"Once you move them now, it will add a lot of difficulties for you to destroy Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian and pacify Daizhou."
Fang Xuanling knew that now was not the time to rectify officials.
It is necessary to wait for Lu Bu to wipe out the Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian and put down Daizhou, and then start to rectify the administration of officials and clean up the officialdom.
Otherwise, start to rectify the officials now.
It will arouse the resistance of the wealthy families. When the time comes, the wealthy families in Daizhou will definitely take precautions after seeing the situation in Yanzhou. Maybe they will try their best to wipe out King Xiaoyao for Lu Bu and calm down the envoys in Daizhou. son.
In that case, it will only add a lot of difficulties to Lu Bu's subsequent counter-insurgency.
It's better to wait for Lu Bu to wipe out King Xiaoyao and put down Daizhou first, and it's not too late to start.
At that time, Lu Bu and the army of [-] also freed their hands.
more secure and secure.
Fang Xuanling glanced at Lu Bu again; "Besides, when you really want to do something, you don't need to take action against some officials. You, the general of the [-]-strong army, are just in case."
"It's enough to have Dongchang."
As soon as Fang Xuanling's words fell, a figure walked in silently.
"Master Fang is right. To deal with these officials, our East Factory is enough."
Cao Shaoqin walked into the lobby, glanced at Lu Bu and Fang Xuanling, stretched out his hand and threw the two letters to Fang Xuanling and Lu Bu respectively; "This is some news that our East Factory has found out. , and something about Zhou Qian, the Xiaoyao King of Daizhou."
"Master Fang and General Lu, have a look!"
After seeing Cao Zhengchun in the East Factory that day, Cao Shaoqin brought a thousand factory guards directly to the four places in the northwest.
A little earlier than Lu Bu.
Therefore, in the past few days, the factory guards have been moving around and found a lot of useful things.
After Fang Xuanling and Lu Bu received the two letters thrown by Cao Shaoqin, although they frowned at Cao Shaoqin's attitude, they didn't say anything.
After the two opened the letter, they looked at it.
When the two read the letter, their expressions were different.
Lu Bu had an indifferent attitude, although the letter said some news about Zhou Qian, the free king of Daizhou.
But for Lu Bu, there really is no difference between having it and not having it.
With the strength of his Lu Bu, no matter how Xiaoyao Wang Zhouqian arranged it, how could he be able to stop his Fang Tianhuaji.
On the other hand, Fang Xuanling's face was a little cautious, because the things that the factory guards found out these days are very useful.
If it weren't for Lu Bu's annihilation of Xiaoyao Wang Zhouqian and the difficulty of pacifying Daizhou, Fang Xuanling could start to rectify the official governance of Yanzhou now.
Because what the factory guard found out is enough to take down a group of officials in Yanzhou, and when the time comes to dig deeper, it will definitely move out the radish and bring out the mud, and punish more than half of the officials in Yanzhou.
