Chapter 264 Ten Thousand People Welcome
It has just eased Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu, because there was another disagreement on Wuhuan's handling.
The pacif of Zhang Ju's rebels promoted the competition for the throne of the crown prince in the court. The Han Emperor was rare and generous, but all the soldiers who were meritorious in the battle were rewarded.
The news that Jia Rong fought with Xianbei in the right Beiping and killed 2,000 enemies finally spread to the court, but the author was Liu Yu. The next day, the Emperor of Han praised Jia Rong and Xianbei for their bravery in the court. He did not hesitate to praise between his words and sent angels to Youzhou to express his condolences.
All officials are silent. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty has a lot of time. In the last days, he wants to appease the hearts of civil and military generals. Whether it is the prince's debate or the prince's association, he is too young. After ascending the throne, he still faces the auxiliary government of the general, that is, the dictatorship of foreign relatives.
Emperor Han, who has experienced the dictatorship of eunuchs since he was a child, knows the sense of powerlessness that is not played by others.
Huangfu Song in Chang'an was also recalled by the Han Emperor, and the Northern Army, known as the strongest army of the Han Dynasty, was stationed in Luyang City again.
Once Emperor Han expressed his desire to make Liu Xie the crown prince, and the ministers led by the general had always opposed it.
The battle for the prince has become the most ardent topic in the court.
The court is as lively as the Golden City. The news of Jia Rong's upcoming return spread all over the streets and alleys. Many people excitedly told Jia Rong's things to the people around them.
On that day, the number of people and officials who came out of the city reached 50,000. Today, the population of the county alone has more than 70,000 people, which has become a large county, 70,000 counties, and 50,000 people have come out of the city to greet them, making a rare empty alley scene in Jincheng.
Tens of thousands of people were stationed in Jincheng, and the flags of the generals fluttered in the wind, as if they were also welcoming the return of Jia Rong.
While the people were waiting, Jia Rong led a caravan of thousands of people to appear slowly. Many businessmen just took a passing car and did not go to Jincheng at all.
A year later, Jia Rong's prestige in Jincheng is still irreplaceable, and many newly relocated people just come to watch with curiosity.
More than 50,000 people gathered outside the county, which was surprisingly quiet. They quietly watched the team in the distance slowly approaching Jincheng.
Zhao Yun, Lv Bu and other strange generals beside Jia Rong looked at the situation in front of them in surprise. More than 50,000 people gathered outside the city. How spectacular it was. They had never heard that any official would be welcomed by the people when he came back, and their eyes at Jia Rong became a little eager.
"General!" Nearly ten thousand soldiers knelt down in the direction of Jia Rong.
Compared with tens of thousands of people going out of the city to welcome him, such a scene is more eye-catching. All the soldiers look at Jia Rong with burning eyes. This glory belongs to one person, that is, Jia Rong.
The people followed the soldiers to kneel down spontaneously to greet Jia Rong, and the scene was spectacular.
This "general" contained too many things, and the eyes of countless iron-blooded men were red.
Jia Rong hurriedly got off his horse, walked to the front of the team, and helped Zhang Li up and said, "Zirong, thank you for your hard work!"
Zhang Li took the opportunity to get up and looked at Jia Rong with slightly red eyes, and his body trembled slightly.
"Wen He, thank you for your hard work!" Jia Rong picked up Jia Xu and said.
Jia Xu arched his hand and said, "It's a blessing to serve the lord." However, a trembling in his tone betrayed his true thoughts.
"Brother Wenhou, thank you for your hard work!"
Li Wenhou is the leader of the Qiang people in the Xiliang Army. Jia Rong naturally has to take into account the feelings of the Qiang soldiers.
A group of important figures in Jincheng's eyes turned red when they saw Jia Rong's return. Before Jia Rong left, he had always been the pillar of Jincheng and the pin in the army. Everyone had no feeling. When Jia Rong really left, the civilian generals had a feeling of difficulty.
In the army, no one can replace Jia Rong's position, including the craftsman's paper mill and the world-famous Xianlian Pavilion are all from Jia Rong's hands. The Qiang people also rely on Jia Rong. In Jincheng, he is a legend.
The news of Jia Rong's return to Jincheng spread quickly. The flow of merchants in Jincheng is large, and there are countless merchants from south to north. Relatively speaking, the news circulates faster.
After returning to Jincheng, the news about the battle between Liu Yu and Zhang Ju continued to come through the intelligence network of Jincheng. Today's Xianlian Pavilion is already a huge thing. After Jia Rong returned, he opened large or small shops along the border counties of Bingzhou to collect news about the border.
Liu Yu went to Wuhuan alone and persuaded Qiu Liju. Jia Rong admired him. Nowadays, there are only a few people who can have such courage, but Jia Rong is not happy with Liu Yu's way of acting, and his gentle way of treating aliens is a little too much.
The defeat of Zhang Ju and others was completely in Jia Rong's expectation. However, the army that survives by plundering the people after the uprising cannot last long. The army comes from the people. When the army chooses to plunder the people, the heart of the army has almost collapsed. Zhang Ju's practice of plundering the people to replenish food and grass is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst.
At the beginning, Zhang Jiao led hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves to rise up and capture the state and county all the way. He had the tendency to sweep the Han Dynasty. Why did he lose so quickly has a lot to do with what he did after the yellow scarf uprising.
Although he didn't get along well with Liu Yu, Jia Rong still ordered the Xianlian Pavilion in Youzhou to report the good news.
The scale of Jincheng has expanded, and even some problems have been revealed. At the beginning, Jincheng was barren, and the people did not have enough food and clothing. Most of the officials came from the poor. They knew the hardships of the people and worked conscientiously. Today, Jincheng has become rich, and some officials have also learned to accept bribes and go to Jincheng every day. In order to please the officials, the businessman racked his brains to bribe for the protection of the officials.
Some officials from the common people were also knocked down by money, which was short of the people.
When I first heard Jia Xu talk about this, Jia Rong didn't care. Who has nothing wrong with it? He can't be too strict with his subordinates.
When Jia Xu sent the list of bribes and the amount of embezzlement to Jia Rong, after reading it, he couldn't help taking a deep breath. There were nearly a hundred large and small officials involved in bribery and embezzlement. He wrote several pages densely, listing in detail how much they received and where they had been corrupt. There was an official. The clerk actually received millions of bribes from businessmen.
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Jia Rong immediately sent fast horses to all counties and ordered the county magistrates in various places to discuss the matter.
The most important thing is some officials in the county, and the situation in the other counties is still very good. Everyone's political achievements are outstanding under the leadership of Zhang Li and Zhang Zhao.
As soon as he returned to Jincheng, he dealt with such a thorny thing, which was definitely deliberately suppressed by Jia Xu. After all, Jia Xu did not have a deep foundation in Jincheng, and it was pulled up by Jia Rong, even if his personal ability is very strong.
In the past few days, Jia Rongcha has been thinking about how to deal with these officials. The bribed and corrupt officials account for as much as 50% of Jincheng officials. This is only what Jia Xu can find out. If he is dismissed in anger, Jincheng will be depressed for a long time.
It's still the third update. Please support it. After a day's work, you can't complete the update until midnight!
