"Then you should know what's going on in Dutian in Liangzhou, right?"

"Uh..." Qu Yi smacked his lips, but stopped talking.

"The emperor implemented a new policy in Liangzhou. Has there ever been a practice like Bohai? Land saving is not only for the court to obtain taxes and resist grain prices, but also for the common people to have constant production. Only constant production can have perseverance. In order to protect one's own land and If they don’t have their own land and pastures, and they just fight for their salary, just like recruiting soldiers, do you think they will go all out?”

Qu Yi suddenly realized.

"Precisely because Liangzhou is thorough in saving the land, the soldiers are all people with permanent property, so they fight hard, and the court can rely on them. If Liangzhou is not thorough in saving the land, the soldiers in Liangzhou will pretend to be recruited. If it is beneficial, they will advance, and if they are not If you retreat, can the imperial court still trust them?"

Xun You smiled. "The Liangzhou clan paid a huge sacrifice for the court, but you intercede for the Jizhou clan. Do you still want to go home in the future?"

Qu Yi's complexion changed, and he suddenly jumped on the horse. "Bastards, dare to play tricks in front of me, I will kill them now."

Xin Pi was taken aback and quickly reminded Xun You.

Xun You was indifferent, watching Qu Yi gallop away with his personal guards.He turned his head to look at Simpi, and chuckled lightly: "George, when did you become so lenient? If you dare to kill, I won't send you away."

"Gongda, will this anger the judge?"

"So what if you anger him?" Xun You disagreed. "That's his only hope. Do you think he will destroy it easily? Judging is fierce, and tough is easy to break. If you ask him, he will only despise you. If you are more ruthless than him, he may have feared."

"But……"

"But you are timid before fighting, how can you fight him?"

Simpi was speechless.

-

Half a day later, Qu Yi returned to the camp, bringing with him several bloody heads.

He was given a generous gift, and asked him to invite Xun You to a banquet to discuss with the heads of several rich clans who lived in the land according to the Bohai River.

These people thought that Xun You would go to the banquet happily, and they had already prepared food and wine, and invited many guests to testify, to show that Hejian's heart is like this, and he should not act against the public.

In front of these guests, Qu Yi sternly stated that saving the land is a major matter of the country, which cannot be discussed, but must be followed, and those who violate it will be punished as treason.Then he cut off the heads of the leaders, as a warning to others.

The blood frightened everyone, and no one dared to move.

When mentioning that scene, Koji's meaning is still incomplete, and his complacency is beyond words.

Xun You praised Qu Yi for his success, and said that he would write a letter to ask for credit for Qu Yi.

Qu Yi was very happy, and patted his chest to express that he firmly supported Xun You's point of view and carried out the emperor's edict without any concession.Only in this way can Jizhou become the imperial court's Jizhou and a solid food base in northern Xinjiang.

With Jizhou, Youyan Duhufu will not have to worry about money and food in the future eastward expedition.

Xun You was very satisfied, but Xin Pi was very nervous.

A few days later, the news of Qu Yi's murder came out, and He Jian was shocked.Facing the threat of death, no one dared to subdue others, and expressed their willingness to cooperate with Du Tian.The progress of Dutian, which had been procrastinating, suddenly accelerated, and most of it was completed in a few days.

Xun You wrote a request for credit, and asked Xin Pi to go to Xingzai in person to request credit for Qu Yi.

With Xun You's letter on his shoulders, Xin Pi hurriedly set off.

-

Luoyang, Yuan's former residence.

With hands behind his back, Yuan Shu paced among the ruined walls with a gloomy expression.

Chang Nu followed with a few personal guards, and seeing everything in front of him, he was too horrified to speak.

There was a light sound in the distance, and a fox flashed by, and soon appeared on the wall again, turned to look at Yuan Shu, stuck out its tongue, and licked its mouth.

Yuan Shu looked up at the fox, sighed, and stretched out his hand to stop Chang Nu who was about to shoot.

"Forget it, we are the ones who disturbed him. This is not the Yuan family now, the Yuan family is gone." Yuan Shu walked to the railing, brushed the dust, and sat down.He touched the dusty white jade railing and sighed again.

"How much money was spent for these stones at the beginning, but now they are thrown here, and there is no one to pick them up."

"Yuan Gonglu, I didn't expect you to be sad." Liu Biao strode in, just in time to hear Yuan Shu's emotion, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

The moment he saw Liu Biao, the sadness on Yuan Shu's face disappeared, replaced by his usual unstingy expression.

"Liu Jingsheng, you old thief, why are you still alive?"

Liu Biao was used to Yuan Shu's rascals, so he was mentally prepared, and retorted: "You, the ghost who burned the palace, didn't die, why should I die? Not only will I not die, but I will also help the emperor to complete this Luoyang beacon map, reflecting on the gains and losses. , and then Xing Dahan."

As he spoke, Liu Biao took a roll of paper and handed it to Yuan Shu. "Look, is there anything missing in this picture of Yuan's former residence?"

"Fart!" Yuan Shu spat in disdain, snatched the picture scroll from Liu Biao's hand, tore it into pieces in two or three strokes, threw it away, and scattered it everywhere.

Liu's face changed, and he said unhappily: "Yuan Gonglu, this is the painstaking effort of countless people, and you just ruined it like this?"

"If you can't draw it truthfully, you can only tell the story. No matter how beautiful the drawing is, what's the use of it? It's too dirty to wipe your ass."

"False story?"

"That's right." Yuan Shu flicked his trousers. "I was born in Sri Lanka and grew up in Sri Lanka. I don't know anything about the plants and trees in Luoyang City. I have been to almost all the deep houses and courtyards you want to paint. As for this place, I can even walk with my eyes closed. .The things you draw are somewhat false and somewhat real, and can you still fool me?"

He glanced at Liu Biao. "The emperor sent me here because he knew that you, an old villain, were not sincere and refused to draw truthfully."

With a flash in his eyes, Liu Biao waved his hand, signaling his followers to back down.He walked to Yuan Shu's side, took out a handkerchief, put it on the railing, and then sat down carefully, beside Yuan Shu.

"Tianzi... really say that?"

Yuan Shu squinted at Liu Biao. "If not, why did the Son of Heaven send me to Luoyang?"

Liu Biao was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.

He was someone who had fought against Yuan Shu, so he didn't believe Yuan Shu's words.Although Yuan Shu came from the fourth generation and three princes, and had a smooth official career, he had neither talent nor virtue, and he could not succeed in literature or martial arts.That is to say, Yuan Shao was careless, and he took advantage of his loopholes.If it were any other person, any one of them would be able to beat Yuan Shu to the ground.

When fighting for Nanyang, Yuan Shu relied on Sun Jian.Sun Jian died in battle, and Yuan Shu was beaten away by him.

"Are you laughing?" Yuan Shu stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and scolded angrily: "After three days away, you should look at me with admiration. The me now is not the me ten years ago. If you don't believe me, you and I will compete." Competition?"

Chapter 906

Liu Biao repeatedly shook his hands and refused.

He didn't dare to get rough with Yuan Shu, this bastard really could do it.I was nearly sixty years old, and I was injured by him, and I was bedridden, which was uncomfortable.

"Then according to what you mean, draw it truthfully, without changing a single bit?"

"Don't change it." Yuan Shu raised his hand and said loudly: "Since you are admitting your mistake, you have to admit it quickly. What's the use of covering it up? You don't have to save face, just start here, from the three doors in front of my house. Let's go out."

Liu Biao frowned and didn't answer Yuan Shu's words.

Ever since he knew that Yuan Shu was coming to Luoyang to preside over their drawing scrolls, he knew that it was a bit troublesome.

The emperor's dissatisfaction was secondary—no matter how dissatisfied he was, it was impossible for him to preside over this matter himself—but Yuan Shu was a big trouble.

One is that he is too familiar with Luoyang, and the other is that he has no bottom line in life.

Yuan Shao just underestimated his shamelessness. First he lost Lujiang and Yan Liang, and then he was captured by him, and died after being humiliated.

This guy doesn't save face for his own family, how can he be expected to save face for others?

If you really want to turn all those over-the-standard houses in Luoyang into picture scrolls and label them with names, the reputations of countless people will be ruined in one fell swoop.

Confucianism attaches great importance to etiquette, and exceeding the system is the most unacceptable behavior of Confucianism.A scholar-bureaucrat who regards himself as a moral man overruns the house, which will cause huge damage to the hearts of the people. This is something Liu Biao, a scholar-bureaucrat, cannot accept.

Yuan Shu is not a scholar-bureaucrat, so if he does not consider these issues, he, Liu Biao, cannot but consider them.

But how to deal with Yuan Shu is a big problem.

"Gaolu, if you really want to put everything in front of you into a picture book, I'm afraid that Yuan's disciples and old officials will not agree." Liu Biao persuaded patiently: "As the head of Yuan's family, how will you convince the public in the future?"

"People are not sages, so who can do without faults? If faults can be corrected, there is nothing good about it." Yuan Shu raised his finger to the sky, and said loudly: "Although I, Yuan Shu, am not talented, I can face my own faults. Why can't I convince the public? Don't they just obey the taboos and taboos? A hypocrite, a real gentleman who refuses to accept his mistakes and can correct them?"

Liu Biao almost laughed out loud.

Are you really a gentleman?This may be the biggest joke I've ever heard in my life.

But he dared not speak, nor did he dare to laugh.

He was afraid that Yuan Shu would become angry from embarrassment and directly use violence.

After laughing in his heart, Liu Biao's head hurt even more.

This dog is hopeless, I'm afraid it doesn't make sense, so I can only test the waters with Yuan Shi.

"In this case, it's up to you to draw the picture scroll of Yuan's former residence first, and then other things." Liu Biao thought for a while, and then said: "Although there are many houses in Luoyang City, there are not many houses that can compare with Yuan's former residence. Many. When I think about it carefully, it seems that there are only Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong’s former residences. How about painting their former residences after painting Yuan’s former residence?”

Yuan Shu turned his head to stare at Liu Biao's eyes, the corners of his eyes twitched twice, and said through gritted teeth, "Okay, let's do this."

"Also, with so many houses in Luoyang, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish painting them in a short time. I plan to draw one volume and print another volume to see public opinion. Do you think it will be engraved by Hedong Yinfang or Suiyang Yinfang?"

"Why do you want to go far away and go to Hedong?"

"Hedong Yinfang's technology is better, but the price is more expensive." Liu Biao smiled slightly. "Since it is to be handed down to future generations, the more exquisite the better, the better. It is worth spending more money."

Yuan Shu blinked his eyes. "You draw first, and I'll find out about printing."

"Okay." Liu Biao stood up. "I'll arrange it immediately, and I will start redrawing Yuan's former residence today, and you happen to be there. I may need you to mention some damaged places."

After speaking, Liu Biao cupped his hands, turned and left.

Yuan Shu squinted his eyes, staring at Liu Biao's back, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

When Liu Biao's news was outside the door, Chang Nu came over and said in a low voice: "My lord, if you really paint the Yuan's former residence truthfully, I'm afraid you will be cast aside by others. In the future, you..."

"It's okay if they don't accept me. Anyway, the glory of the fourth and third Yuan family is over." Yuan Shu raised his hand and said through gritted teeth: "But if the emperor is not satisfied, I will be miserable. If it doesn't work, the Yuan family will rise up again. There is no chance. Liu Jingsheng, an old thief, uses me, Yuan Shi, as a shield, how can I let him get what he wants. Even if it hurts both sides, I can only smash my teeth and swallow it."

Chang Nu sighed and said nothing more.

When Liu Biao went out, a group of scholars surrounded him, looking at him expectantly.

"Redraw." Liu Yang raised his sleeves. "Start from the former residence of Yuan's family, and start from the three gates. Draw whatever you have, don't save face. If you don't know anything, just ask Yuan Gonglu. Everything is important, and every room is drawn. "

A middle-aged scholar was in a hurry. "When will it be painted?"

Liu Biao glanced at him. "Are you in a hurry? If you have other things to do urgently, you can do them first, and I'll find someone else."

The scholar smiled. "What can I do. I'm just worried that the emperor will be dissatisfied if the time drags on for too long."

"No, we are doing it according to his intention." Liu Biao said lightly: "It took half a year to paint Yuan's former residence, and another half a year to paint Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's former residences. For other things, one year has passed. In one year, many people will return to Luoyang and can do many things.”

Suddenly, everyone raised their thumbs up in unison.

Liu Biao's move was clever. With the stability of Luoyang and the entry of Jingzhou into the imperial court, more and more people are returning home.After returning home, seeing that the house was dilapidated, it was natural to repair it.In this case, those parts that are beyond the control are naturally the focus of the inventory.

As long as the delay is long enough, those over-managed mansions will disappear naturally.Without it, naturally there is no way to draw a scroll.

In the future, only Yuan's former residence and the residences of Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others will be handed down to the world.

Since Yuan Shu is shameless, let him be ignored.

"Go to Nangong." Liu Biao called a few more people and told them to go to the North and South Palaces to investigate, to see which palaces were intact, which palaces were damaged, and what the damage was like, and whether it was necessary to draw urgently, so as not to collapse before drawing.

Those people understood and went with tools.

Although Liu Biao didn't say anything, they all knew that Qingsuomen, which Yuan Shu had set on fire, was the top priority.Since Yuan Shu wants to claim credit from the emperor, he should first announce his evil deeds.If Yuan Shu burned the palace, it would be fine, even if the others were a bit over the top, the emperor would have no reason to punish him severely, otherwise it would be unfair.

Although Yuan Shu is a scoundrel, but if he wants to compete with Liu Biao, it is still not as good.

Everyone acted separately with the pride of a tacit understanding.

After a while, Yuan Shu came out and looked around. "Liu Jingsheng, how many people do you have under your command?"

Liu Biao sighed. "After the chaos, all the waste was waiting for work, and the emperor sent troops to Jizhou again. He spent a lot of money and food every day. I can only allocate a lot of people. I really can't hire a few people."

"Then we have to draw until the year of the monkey?" Yuan Shu frowned. "According to your progress, I'm afraid that the emperor has pacified Jizhou, and you haven't finished painting yet."

Liu Biao asked, "Then what do you think we should do? Do you have money? Only with money can we recruit more people and buy more materials."

Yuan Shu put his hands on his hips, turned around, and spat. "There are only ruins left in Luoyang City, and there is no place to rob it. Where can I get money?"

Chapter 907

Seeing Yuan Shu scratching his ears and cheeks, Liu Biao felt happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, with a look of concern for the country and the people.

Yuan Shu also knew that Liu Biao was looking at him ashamed, his face was dull, and he didn't want to stay any longer, so he called his guards, jumped on his horse, and left.

Turning around, Yuan Shu looked more and more sad.

The Luoyang in his memory was not like this. There were dilapidated walls everywhere, with green grass growing on top of the walls, and birds, lemurs, and squirrels appeared from time to time.The gates that symbolized the supreme honor of the master were open, blackened by the fire, and some were burned to the point where only a door frame was left, like mouths with teeth knocked out, screaming silently.

Thinking of Yuan's situation at this moment, Yuan Shu felt sore.

When you left Luoyang, did you ever expect this result?

If I had known that the maidservant was so useless, I shouldn't have taken such a risk.
