The emperor asked these two promising young people to help him sort out his experience in governance, and it is unlikely that he just wanted to show his appreciation for him.

Ren Jun received the edict, and while he began to re-understand himself, he was deeply impressed by Cao Cao's choice.

Among the princes in the world, Cao Cao was the first to take the initiative to proclaim himself a minister.

Ren Jun was more attentive, and explained to the emperor one by one what he thought was more important, or a little new.

From the contact with the emperor, he could feel the emperor's urgency to understand government affairs, and he could feel the emperor's appreciation for him.At this moment, the more honest he is, the more he can gain the trust of the emperor.

Trust between rulers and ministers is hard to come by, especially for local officials.

Liu Xie stayed in Chenliu for nearly ten days and learned almost every aspect of Chenliu before starting again and rushing to Dongjun.

Compared with his emphasis on Chen Liu's government affairs, he had little interest in Chen Liu's military strength. He only selected 1000 people and arranged them for logistics. He had no plan to send them into battle at all.

Seeing this, Ren Jun was also relieved.

If the emperor does not use Chen Liu's troops, it will not affect Chen Liu's normal production.Marching and fighting, the biggest impact on the local area is not only the collection of money and food, but also corvee.Once tens of thousands of civilian workers are expropriated, it will not only affect production and labor, but will also cause huge disturbances in people's hearts.

Caring is messy.Once Chen Liuren joins the battle, a little news from the front will cause shocks and even cause rumors when it reaches the local area.

Without Chen Liu's county soldiers, even if the front line suffers setbacks, the impact will be limited, and it doesn't matter if they fight for a long time.

In the fifth year of Jian'an, in the middle of February, Liu Xie crossed the Yellow River.

He didn't want to be in such a hurry at first, but after February, the Yellow River, which had been dry in winter, would resume its flow. Crossing the river by boat was much more troublesome than going directly across the dry riverbed.

After crossing the Yellow River and entering Wei County of Jizhou, Liu Xie's attitude changed dramatically.

When he arrived in a county, he summoned the magistrates of nearby counties to meet him and asked them face to face about their attitude towards Dutian.

Those who oppose Dutian, or who do not say they object, but look hesitant and speak perfunctorily, will be dismissed on the spot and replaced by a prepared candidate.The deposed officials were also not allowed to leave, served with the army, and were investigated for collusion with local powerful clans.

Originally, the appointment and removal of the county magistrate had to go through Situ's Mansion, but the emperor came in person, and it was wartime, so it was understandable to make a sudden decision.

Within a day, the commanders of the four counties of Puyang, Neihuang, Fanyang, and Yin'an were all dismissed.

After the alternate magistrate took office, the first thing he did was to issue an announcement announcing Dutian.

Considering that Jizhou has been in a state of war and information control, it is difficult for ordinary people to have the opportunity to understand the meaning of Dutian, and there are even many misunderstandings, so publicity has become the top priority.

Without enlightenment as a basis, ordinary people are rarely literate.It is not enough to have the propaganda documents printed by Suiyang Yinfang, and a large number of people must be sent to the village pavilions to carry out propaganda, so that ordinary people know that saving the land is beneficial to them, rather than the court and the people competing for profit.

This job may seem simple, but it is actually very cumbersome and requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

Liu Xie sent all the more than 200 people prepared in advance to assist the newly appointed magistrate in publicizing the government order, and also let them familiarize themselves with government affairs in advance to prepare for taking office in the future.

This made some people complain.

They became officials through various channels. Usually, they were sent directly to the magistrate of a county, and no matter how bad they were, they were officials at the county level. It was impossible to go deep into the village.Now that he is going to Jizhou with the emperor, he has to go to the village pavilion to do propaganda work, which is too cheap.

Liu Xie ignored these opinions.

If you have no opinion, you must accept it, and if you have an opinion, you must accept it, otherwise you will automatically give up and you will not be hired for life.

There will no longer be such officials who just stamp their seals and don't care about specific affairs.

As soon as the news came out, no one dared to say a word of complaint.

Dismissal is not terrible, the consequences of not being hired for life are too serious.Delaying a lifetime of future for a few months of hard work is an unbearable price.If they were so indifferent to fame and fortune, they would not have participated in the selection.

Under the pressure and the temptation of appointment, everyone burst out with great enthusiasm and devoted themselves to their work.

Dutian spread rapidly in several counties in the south of Weijun.

The fastest progress is Yin'an, the hometown of trial and match.

Shenpei sticks to Yecheng, and his family and trilogy are all in Yecheng.Facing the new county magistrate Cao Ang who came with an edict, the power left behind in the old house was vulnerable.

Shen's land was remeasured and allocated to people who had no land or insufficient land.

The Shen family is the leading clan in Yin'an, and they own an astonishing amount of land.The land of the Shen family alone solved most of the problems. With the addition of several other families, not only the local people got the land, but they happily started preparing for spring plowing, and there was still a lot left.

After receiving Cao Ang's reply, Liu Xie sent a message to Yu Du and Wulu, asking them to arrange some people to occupy the place.If you move quickly, you can still catch up with the spring plowing, and you will have a harvest in a few months.

Since Wulu returned from Luoyang, Yu Du and others have made full preparations. As soon as they received the news, they immediately arranged for Liu Xie's request and sent thousands of households to Yin'an.

They have fought in the mountains for more than ten years, although they have reclaimed a lot of land, they will not starve to death. After all, the land is not abundant, and it is not easy to eat enough.Now that the emperor is with them and arranges the land for them, they are naturally very active.

In order to show his sincerity, Yu Du came to meet him in person.

Seeing the Son of Heaven, Yu Du was greatly surprised.

He knew that the Son of Heaven was young and had just turned 20 years old this year, but the young man standing in front of him had a calm demeanor, although his words and deeds were not ostentatious, he was full of confidence, and he naturally had a submissive demeanor of a king, which made him restrain himself from his usual routine. The arrogance here bowed his head and bowed.

Liu Xie left the table, helped Yu Du up, comforted him a few words, and then asked a question.

"Are you going to disarm and return to the fields, or do you want to fight for a few more days, follow me to break through Yecheng, and capture the judge alive?"

Before Yu Du heard Wulu talk about the grand occasion of the emperor's review, when he entered the camp, he saw many brave and capable soldiers, and he knew that it was not the troops under his command that could compare.

"Your Majesty is so kind to me. I should have served His Majesty to defeat Ye City. However, the officers and soldiers under my command are all reckless people, and they cannot be compared with Your Majesty's warriors. I'm afraid they won't be of much help."

Liu Xie smiled and patted Yu Du's arm lightly.

"Do you know how many soldiers under my command are from the old Hedong Baibo army? The elite are not born, they are trained. As long as you have the heart, you might as well choose some elites and follow me to act. I can equip you with weapons and armor, and then arrange people to assist you Training."

Yu Du was overjoyed and agreed without hesitation.

Liu Xie then called Sima Yi, appointed him as Yu Du's long history, and assisted Yu Du in selecting three thousand elites to fight with the army.He also selected ten people from the lecture hall to serve as Qujunhou, Duwei, and Xiaowei under Yu Du's command, trying to improve Yu Du's combat quality in a short period of time so that he can play a role in attacking Yecheng.

Sima Yi was in the middle of his arms and bowed to accept the order.

Chapter 855

When the Son of Heaven marched into Jizhou, he did not encircle Yecheng immediately, but carried out Dutian in the southern counties of Wei County, which caused a thousand waves for a while.

No one doubted the determination of the imperial court to save the land.

The degree of field must be measured, the difference is only in how to measure it.

It is not difficult to choose whether to cooperate with the imperial court to reduce losses as much as possible in exchange for more benefits, or to refuse to cooperate and be directly deprived of all properties by the imperial court.

All of a sudden, more counties and counties applied for the trial of Du Tian.There are various proposals, some of which are even absurd, but those who oppose Dutian have disappeared.

Liu Xie ignored these, and transferred them all to Situ's Mansion, which was handled by Yang Biao.

All his focus is on Jizhou, especially Wei County.

He wants to treat Wei County as a test field, a model, and then gradually spread it to Jizhou.

Anyone who has some knowledge of the history of land-to-household distribution in the early days of the reform knows how much benefit the laborers' enthusiasm can produce.Renting the land of a big landlord for tenant farming and cultivating one's own land are completely different things.

This change is visible to the naked eye.

The people who were assigned the land quickly started preparing for spring plowing. The whole family went out together before dawn, and they had to work in the fields for a while after dark.Even if they do nothing but sit on the ground, they feel happy.

Those who say that the poor are poor because they are lazy must blush when they see this scene.

When Liu Xie had a little spare time, he took the casual riders and officials around him to visit the people near Daying. In addition to investigating and understanding the implementation of the policy, he also let the people around him feel the changes in the morale of the people.

Many people did not really understand the significance of attacking Yecheng, nor did they understand why Liu Xie arrived in Jizhou and was not in a hurry to encircle Yecheng, but was busy promoting Dutian.

The longer the time dragged on, the more supplies the army consumed, and a quick decision was in line with the art of war.

Liu Xie wants to reverse this concept.

"This is a revolution, not just a war."

One day in Mengchun, Liu Xie stood at the head of the field, looked at the busy farmers, and said quietly to Zhuge Liang and others.

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment. "The four peoples are all gentlemen, men and women are no different. Your Majesty has pushed the concept of master teaching without distinction, and will surely usher in a new era. After 500 years, when a new sage emerges, what kind of changes can there be? Woolen cloth?"

Liu Xie turned his head and glanced at Zhuge Liang, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.

"Maybe it's going to the nine heavens to catch the moon, and going down to the five oceans to catch turtles."

"Wuyang?" Zhuge Liang was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Liu Xie suspiciously.

Liu Xie smiled without saying a word.

-

"Boom!" With a loud noise, the judge overturned the case in front of him.

The pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the case were scattered all over the place, and the ink was in a mess.

The judge's face was darker than ink blots.

The emperor entered Jizhou, but he was not in a hurry to besiege the city, but to promote Dutian.His hometown bears the brunt, manors, fields, and all real estate are deprived of it, which is like ransacking the house.

Although expected, subtle changes in tempo can have an immeasurable impact, and even directly change the outcome.

The first is that the course of the war will be longer than he expected.

Although there is a large amount of grain stored in Yecheng, there is a limit after all.If the emperor is not in a hurry to attack, but to spend the fields first, after the autumn harvest, he may take food on the spot, and use the food in Jizhou to maintain the expenditure of the army, so as not to affect other states and counties.

Those poor people who had just acquired the land would not refuse the emperor's request for food. They would donate all the food except rations, and even spared no effort to support the emperor in fighting to win the final victory.

At that point, the emperor can almost indefinitely besiege the city until he runs out of food.

The Shandong scholar-bureaucrats he had placed high hopes on responded with a high probability that they would fail.

It doesn't involve their interests, so why should they support Jizhou at the risk of family ruin?

The judge, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly felt hopeless and confused.

Tian Feng came in from the outside, seeing the situation in the hall, he couldn't help but look at the judge sympathetically, bent down to pick up a mansion newspaper, and dusted it off.

"Zhengnan, you haven't fought yet, how can you mess yourself up?"

The examiner breathed a sigh of relief, waved his sleeves, and signaled the attendants to tidy up.He walked to Tian Feng's side. "Brother Yuan Hao, although the little emperor is young, he is very experienced in using soldiers. I was a little caught off guard by this move. Tell me, we still have a chance, right?"

"Whether there is a chance, you have no turning back." Tian Feng said unhurriedly: "Even if you are willing to surrender now, your property will not come back."

"Yes, but..." The judge hesitated to speak.

"What you are worried about is not yourself, but the morale of the army, right?"

The examiner nodded, a little embarrassed to look into Tian Feng's eyes.

He made up his mind to go all the way to darkness.But he was not sure whether the others would be shaken.If those people were afraid and wanted to surrender to the court in order to keep a livelihood, his troops would be much smaller all of a sudden.

"Don't worry, most of those who can come to Yecheng at this time are like you..." Tian Feng hesitated for a moment. "The same wishful thinking, and will not accept being satisfied with food and clothing like ordinary people. Moreover, even if they surrender now, they may not be able to retain a piece of land."

"Is it?"

"The emperor did this to prove that it is beneficial to save the land. But Jizhou is not Liangzhou, which is sparsely populated, nor is it the Central Plains where the household registration has been greatly reduced after many wars. There is not much idle land in Jizhou, which may not be able to satisfy the emperor. requirements."

"So at this time, he is more willing to kill us?" The judge's eyes suddenly became fierce.

Tian Feng smiled bitterly. "Zhengnan, you are too murderous."

"Is not it?"

"How many people are there in your Shen family? How many people support you? Even if there are 20 people, how big is the difference to Jizhou? Killing 20 people for these lands that does not affect the overall situation, what do you think? Is the emperor so cruel?"

The judge was also confused, and looked at Tian Feng suspiciously. "Brother Yuan Hao, what exactly do you want to say?"

Tian Feng waved his hand to signal the judge to be calm. "The Son of Heaven may not have the intention to kill people, but he certainly has the intention to warn the scholars and bureaucrats in the world, especially the veterans in the court, not to think that he is young and can be bullied."

"Who else dares to bully him?" The judge sneered. "After Zhang Jili's death, those old officials in the court are as docile as raccoon slaves. Who dares to protest? If so, he is still not satisfied. I really don't know what else those people can do."

Tian Feng sighed.

Jupei has a strong temper. He feels that the courtiers are as docile as slaves, but he doesn't know how much effort the courtiers have put in to fight for power with the emperor.In his eyes, maybe everyone should be like him, even if Yuan Shao died, he would not let it go, and coerced others to fight together, and he would die together, that is the real warrior.

But this is not bravery, but stubbornness.

Too much, he couldn't understand this sentence at all.

"Zhengnan, you can't ask everyone to fight against the emperor like you. Just as the emperor can't ask Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, and Sun Rui to be like him every step of the way."

The reviewer rolled his eyes. "You mean, Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, and Shi Sun Rui will be eager to march?"

Tian Feng was a little helpless.The judge only listens to what he wants to hear, but ignores what he really wants to say.

The trial match was overjoyed. "In that case, wouldn't I be able to defeat them one by one? Brother Yuan Hao, tell me, who will go to Ye City first?"

Chapter 856

Tian Feng analyzed the current situation for the trial.
