There is a difference between aristocratic families and a powerful family. Many gentry did not accumulate land and wealth for the sake of their family reputation. For example, Chen family in Xu County was famous in the country, but there was not much wealth in the family. For example, Xun family, since Xun Shu's generation, the Xun family distributed it to relatives and friends whenever their family property increased. Although the Wei family of Yuan family is not as noble as the Xun family of Chen, there is not much land in the family.

To say that the Yuan family has real land and grain, it must be a powerful man like the Yang family and Han family.

The Yang family has hundreds of hectares of fertile land, and the Han family also has dozens of hectares of land.

A hundred hectares are tens of thousands of acres. In the year of harvest, except for the income from the disciples, the Yang family can obtain tens of thousands of stones of grain in a year, which is enough to raise 3,000 soldiers for half a year. Although this year, many of the stored grains in previous years were sold long ago, but the Yang family still has a lot of existing stored grains. Yuan Shirong calculated that if one-fifth of the grain was raised, the grain paid by the Yang family would be enough for 3,000 soldiers for two months.

How could the Yang family be willing to hand over such a large amount of grain and grain honestly?

Li Xuan said: "What if the Yang family and Han family refuse to make friends?"

Wen Chou seemed to be unfair about this and smiled and said, "Let's see how the slaughter is."

...The Yuanshi Rong's method is exactly the same as Wen Chou's method of killing the third family back then: collecting illegal matters from various families

However, Wen Chou collected illegal things from the Third Family to destroy his clan, while Yuan Family Rong forced the families to pay the food.

——To be honest, the reason why the Yuan family used the same method of forcing the family to pay grain was the same as the Wen Chou's method of destroying the third family was self-evident: both of them were officials, and they held power in their hands. If they wanted to achieve their goals, it would be the most convenient to start from the law, and they would not be able to get the handle.

Any powerful clan must have illegal acts. Yuanshi Rong is from this county. He was born and raised in this county. He is aware of the powerful men in this county and has also heard a lot about the illegal acts that the children of their clan have done before. With just some effort, you can collect enough evidence.

He waited for two days... On the morning of the sixth day, he sent the officials to summon parents of major surnames in the county to the Lieutenant's Mansion, but the Yang family did not summon the Han family.

Within three months after Wen Chou arrived in Zhao County, he successively attacked and destroyed the left-wedding yellow beard. His reputation was great. Although the parents of the surnames depended on Yang and did not hand over grain, they pretended to be confused and were happy to hand over. However, after receiving the summons from Yuan Rong, they did not dare to come.

More than a dozen families of powerful and powerful families came in a row, and entered the lieutenant's mansion, entered the chief clerk's house, sat opposite him in the hall, waiting for Yuanshi Rong.

After the families arrived, they waited for a long time. At noon, Yuan Shirong appeared. He walked into the hall with his feet and walked through the parents of the families sitting opposite each other. With their eyes, they picked up a bamboo slip placed on the desk in advance. After not sitting or entering the desk, they turned around in front of the desk and faced the parents and read it briefly.

His voice was already loud, like the sound of metal and stone. At this time, it echoed in the hall and fell into the ears of everyone, like the roar of bells and drums. He read the illegal things that one of the parents here had committed in the past. After reading, he did not look at the people, turned over a page of bamboo slips, and then read it down, but it was another illegal thing of another patriarch here, and he finished reading it again. He raised his eyes and said concisely: "Receive and send him to prison!"

Li Cang, the left magistrate of Yuan, was outside the hall at some point, immediately took the county officials in, immediately detained the two clan leaders and escorted them back to the county temple.

Everyone in the hall was shocked

Yuan Shirong looked around the rest of the people, raised the bamboo slips in his right hand, and said, "There are more than fifty pieces of bamboo slips in this volume. I have just read only one tenth of them. Although I have not read the rest, the officials should also know what it is!"

Everyone here looked at each other, some sweating like slurry, some were angry, some were stolen, some were worried, some were shocked and doubtful

One person raised his courage and said, "Although you are the lieutenant and the chief clerk, you are also the Zhao people, and we are also the Zhao people, why bother with each other?"

Yuan Shirong pressed his sword and waved his sleeves, shouted, "What I have fryed is a thief! I will call you back tomorrow." After saying that, he did not care about the different expressions of the people present, and did not give everyone present a chance to speak, and took the bamboo slips and left the hall with a high bamboo slip.

That afternoon, there were constant screams of torture and screams in the prison in Yuanshi Temple.

The clan leader of the surnames is related to the county temple. After finding out this news, he was not afraid. Many people scolded Yuan Shirong, and Yang Shen was one of them.

Although Yang Shen was not among the summoning of Yuan Shirong today, he was well-informed. He heard about this at noon. After inquiring about the two patriarchs arrested and taken to be tortured by Li Cang, he immediately cursed: "The Yuan Shi's son is determined to be a hawk in Zhao County for Yuzhou!" He immediately asked his sons to go to the homes of parents of Zhu's surname to encourage them.

It’s a pity that the parents of Zhu surnames were scared by Yuan Shirong’s decisive actions, and they all lost the courage to resist Wen Chou. Even Yang Shen’s sons could not recover the situation even if they spoke lotus flowers.

The next day, the parents of all surnames who were summoned by Yuan Rong to the Lieutenant's Mansion yesterday all led slaves to drive the food to the Lieutenant's Warehouse.

The parents of the Le family, another great genius in Yuanshi County, were not summoned by the Han family of Yang, but they did not dare to delay any more and also handed over the food honestly.

At this point, the families in the county still had no food to pay, only the Yang family and the Han family were left.

Han waited and watched for a long time. Before the afternoon, news came out of the Yuanshi Temple that the two parents arrested and imprisoned were tortured to death in prison. The Hanshi leader was shocked. Then he heard that Yuanshi Rong sent Li Cang to the homes of the two parents, and announced that their children and clan members were illegal, and they were also imprisoned. The property of the two families was confiscated. The grain and wealth were all included in the official position. This was a copy of Wen Chou's destruction of the third family. Moreover, the methods used by Wen Chou were more cruel than Wen Chou's back then. He actually killed the clan leader of these two surnames in prison.

Han's parents were timid and did not dare to take it anymore. In the afternoon, they sent slaves to bring in carts to offer food.

When he learned that Han was giving in and offered grain, Yuan Rongjin saw Wen Chou and said to him, "Except Wei, all the rest of the families have borrowed grain."

——Wen Chou has to pay for food, it cannot be used for nothing. The name used is "borrowing". Although everyone knows it well, if you have "borrowing" it is probably "repaying", at least during Wen Chou's tenure, you don't think he will repay these foods.

"Oh? All the families have already borrowed grain? The slaughtered me. I didn't expect that in just a few days, all the families have delivered the grain. Oh, you're doing this well."

"But the Yang family still refuses to borrow!"

"If you love and I want, I will be called 'borrowing'. Since his family doesn't want it, then don't borrow it." Wen Chou paused and said lightly, "But then, the Lieutenant's Mansion borrowed grain to attack the thieves and protect the territory, and also to protect the An Ai Yang family in the county are unwilling to borrow grain.???`c?o?m If there are bandits invading his family, we may be able to do it."

Whether it is a county or a county, for the chief officials, the biggest obstacle to governing the local area is the local tyrants. This is why the promising chief officials in the Han Dynasty often punished the powerful officials in the county.

For example, the powerful are thorns on thorns. If they don’t cure them, the government will be smooth and the law will be done. Just as the thorns will cause bleeding when they are thrust into their hands, it is impossible to make them honest without a bloody incident.

Take Xixiang, who once served in Wen Chou, for example. Gao Su beat Xixiang Xiangzuo, who was equivalent to the deputy township chief in later generations. The Third clan clearly disobeyed his control. If he had to first impress Gao Su for Cheng Yan, then he decisively punished the Third clan. Then, no one would obey his small Xixiang's orders, and even if it was a county and a county?

In the Han Dynasty, the influence of ethics was not deeply influenced by ethics. He inherited the remaining tyrants of the Warring States Period, and the people were brave and brave. ?.??`c?om, there were many powerful people, the rich were rampant in prefectures and counties, and the Jiejian was the heroic people. If you want to be a local chief, you cannot only promote virtue, but also be able to be able to be a decisive person. You have the courage to destroy evil. Although the word "rude official" was not a positive meaning in the Han Dynasty, it was not a derogatory meaning. For example, Dong Xuan, a powerful official praised by later generations, was a famous "rude official" during the reign of Emperor Guangwu. When he was appointed as the Luoyang ruling, he was shocked and beaten up the powerful people. The capital was called "Crouching Tiger"

Since Wen Chou took office in Zhao County, he has been busy training troops to fight thieves, abiding by the lieutenant's duties, and not interfering in civil affairs. If the powerful surname in the county does not hinder his affairs, he will not pay attention to it no matter how arrogant or domineering it is. But once it hinders his affairs, it will be "going toads, where can you take care of the toads?"

As Yang Shen said, after Yuan Shirong joined Wen Chou's disciple, in order to revive his family's reputation, he was determined to be Wen Chou's hawk. He said excitedly: "A month ago, the lieutenant went to the county in a low dress. When he left Yuan Shi County, he once saw Yang Shen's horse inside and outside where the doctor's order lived. He praised it twice as a good horse in the current county. However, Yang refused to hand over the food and did not destroy it. The lieutenant's power was extended and I would definitely take the good horse for the lord!"

Wen Chou Yuan clan Rong Xiahou Lan and the other two left the yard. Before they arrived at the gate, they saw two gatekeepers leading several people in from outside and saw Wen Chou looking at him. They recognized who these people were. They were immediately overjoyed and quickly walked up to him, laughing and said, "I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

These people who came were Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Jian Yong

Everyone was covered in dust, their faces were red by the cold wind, and they looked like they were dusty from afar, and they seemed to have just arrived in Yuanshi.

Perhaps he didn't expect to meet Wen Chou when he entered the gate of the lieutenant's mansion. Liu Bei and others were stunned for a moment, and then reacted. Liu Bei hurriedly walked forward quickly, crossed the officials leading the way, met Wen Chou, bowed and bowed, and said, "Bi has also missed his brother for a long time."

Wen Chou pulled him up, held his hands, looked up and down, and smiled, "Xuande, I haven't seen him for several months, and his style remains the same."

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Jian Yong came close to him and the three of them saluted

Wen Chou helped them up one by one and said affectionately: "I told you a long time ago that Xuande is my brother. You are my brother, and you are my brother. There is no need to be so polite... Yun Chang, I haven't seen you for a few months, and your beard is much more beautiful. I have attacked the remaining part of Heishan in Xiluling, the county, and found that the thief's name is yellow beard. His beard is quite comparable to that of you."

Guan Yu was born in Yan Xi in the sixth year. He is only in his early twenties this year. He is not very old and has not had a few years of bearding. Although he is born with a beautiful beard than ordinary people, he is still far inferior to the yellow beard that has been growing for more than 20 years.

Wen Chou's words are just to meet their preferences and "flattering"

Guan Yu did not like the gentry, and Wen Chou gave him the first impression very bad. Although Wen Chou's efforts made his own image slightly reversed in Guan Yu's eyes, overall, Guan Yu still had no good impression of Wen Chou.

After returning to Zhuo County with Liu Bei and others this time, Guan Yu once advised Liu Bei not to look for Wen Chou again. He said to Liu Bei: "After Wen Chou's famous clan, he has a high opinion of himself and his words are humble, and he must be arrogant. He is neither old friend nor fellow villager, but only a friend of one side. Now he is 2,000 stones, and he is in charge of a county soldier. Qingshang and silver fly are young and old. Even if Brother Xu takes the position of Lieutenant Gongcao, after all, he is just a hawk and dog. How can a real man save him to be a hawk and dog for others? In the opinion of Yu, instead of going to join Wen Chou, if he wants to be fame, it is better to join Gongsun Bogui. There are many troubles in the frontier today, and this is the time when her husband makes military achievements!"

Guan Yu commented on Wen Chou's "very high regard for himself", and Liu Bei disagreed with this. As for the sentence "When speaking and acting are humble, we must be arrogant inside", it is just Guan Yu's conjecture. Liu Bei even disagrees with him for a long time with Guan Yu. He knows that Guan Yu's character is well known and that the reason he said this was because he hated the gentry. Therefore, he politely rejected his suggestion and said, "Lieutenant Xun and us are always friends. They have met each other for a while, but after they met, they gave us treasure swords and other weapons. They also strongly recommended us to General Huangfu. How can we not repay such kindness?"

"Wen Chou's friendship with the sword, I had already returned it to him on the battlefield that day!"

Guan Yu said that when Japanese Wen Chou and others had a conflict with the generals of Xiliang, he helped Wen Chou.

People have two sides, so do Guan Yu

Guan Yu was arrogant and brave, and was arrogant. He was only born in a humble background. Although he was famous in his hometown in his early years, he was forced to live in the bottom of society all year round and could not reach high and show his eyebrows. He saw mediocre people who were far less capable than him, so he could easily enter counties and counties as officials just because he was born in aristocratic family. He saw many scenes of powerful households bullying Guizhou. He had a strong sense of disgust towards the so-called "genius". In the words of later generations, he was now a young man who was talented but did not meet cynical

While being cynical and influenced by the style of the Han Dynasty, he was also a "respectful" person.

He had a natural disgust towards Wen Chou. But Wen Chou was kind to him, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, but he would not fail to repay him.

It is one thing to hate someone, but it is another thing to repay this person's kindness. In this regard, Guan Yu has a clear distinction between kindness and grudges.

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Although the friendship of giving a knife has been returned, Lieutenant Xun regards me as his brother, and I should serve him as my brother. When I left with the Lieutenant, I said that I would go to Zhao County until the end of the year, and my husband could not speak without trust."

This is what Liu Bei rejected Guan Yu in public, and Liu Bei also thought about it in his heart.

Yes, Gongsun Zan has a good relationship with him

But first, Gongsun Zan is in the border area, and the conditions in the border area are difficult; secondly, even if he voted for Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Zan would not be able to give him an official position higher than "Lieutenant Gongcao". Thirdly, compared to Gongsun Zan, who is only a concubine of the Gongsun clan of the border area, Wen Chou was born into a famous clan in the Central Plains, and was valued by Huangfu Song and supported by elders of the clan. No matter how he looked at it, his career would be much smoother than Gongsun Zan.

Zhang Fei, Jian Yongjun agrees with Liu Bei's opinion

Guan Yu became a minority, and although he was unwilling to do so, he had to obey Liu Bei's words.

He was unwilling to come to Wen Chou, and he didn't laugh at him after seeing Wen Chou. In order not to make it difficult for Liu Bei to do it, he could behave in a manner in order to behave properly, but when Wen Chou talked to him, he was not so polite.

Wen Chou laughed at his beard, he stroked his chin and turned his head, looked to the side, and said, "Although Yu is an unknown person, he is loyal and righteous, he doesn't want to compare with the bandits in the Black Mountain."

"Ao..., haha, haha, this is what I said the wrong thing. Don't blame Yun Chang, don't blame Yun Chang for your luck."

If you want to say that Liu Bei and Guan Yu are really a pair of people made of heaven and earth, Guan Yu is a general of a bear and tiger, and has the courage of thousands of men. No one like Cao Liu Sun cannot use it. Cao Liu Sun and the three Cao Liu G are strong and strong, and they are not in harmony with Guan Yu. Only Liu Bei, although he is a Han clan, has long been the same as a poor family and is kind and able to tolerate others. Only he can share the same flesh and blood with Guan Yu.

Liu Bei glanced at Guan Yu helplessly, came out to make a difference and asked Wen Chou a smile: "It's getting dark, but my brother seems to be leaving the mansion. I don't know where he is going?"

Wen Chou took the pole handed over by Liu Bei, and just pretended that he had not been robbed by Guan Yu, his expression remained unchanged. He said: "The last time I attacked Huang Ren, because my troops were never familiar with mountain battles, and there were heavy casualties. In order to attack the thief, I was recruiting troops in the county these days, and there were too many people who applied for it, so I needed to select carefully. Sha Taizhe was recovering. I was planning to go to the barracks to see if the people recruited today were suitable for use."

"Oh? So that's it! Just now, Bei saw several recruiting places outside Yuanshi County, with a large number of refugees crowded outside. I had already guessed that my brother was recruiting troops, but it was true."

For the sake of public security in Bi County, Wen Chou's recruitment offices were all outside the county. Liu Bei saw several places on the way to come, and made way out of the mansion. He said to Wen Chou: "Brother, since you are going to the barracks, then..."

Wen Chou interrupted him and said with a smile: "The barracks are small things, I finally hope for my brother. This is a big thing! Since my brother is here, it's better not to go to the barracks." He turned his head and said to Xiahou Lan, "You go to the camp and tell Yuan Hao Zilong that Xuande is here. I won't go to the camp today..., tell them to finish their work and go back home quickly. I will wash away Xuande's dust tonight."

Zhang Fei was very moved and thought to himself: "Recruiting troops is military. Because of us, the lieutenant did not even go to the barracks?"

Jian Yong was hilarious and said seriously: "I have been fighting with General Huangfu to conquer Heishan. During the war, although I had a few meals from the lieutenant, there were no delicacies, no fine wine, and no beautiful people to offer singing and dancing. I will not hide it from the lieutenant. Yong Shi was depressed and heard of the name of the witch in Luancheng, Zhaojun, and the reputation of Yuanshi's talent dance for a long time. Tonight, Yong can finally feast his eyes and have a feast."

Wen Chou laughed and said, "Tonight I will make you satisfied Jian Xianhe!"

"What if you are not satisfied?"

"If you are not satisfied, I will punish you with three bottles of wine."

Jian Yong has no special talent in military and political affairs, and is quite good at elegance, especially his style of being unrestrained and indulgent and appropriate can be loved by today's "romantic celebrities". Although Wen Chou is not a "romantic celebrity", he has been from later generations and likes his casualness without restraint.

He ordered Xiahou Lan to go to the barracks to send a message. Wen Chou held Liu Bei's hand with one hand and took Yuan Shirong with the other. He introduced him to both of them while walking, and said, "Xuande, this is my chief clerk. His surname is Yuan, his name is Rong, his name is Gongzai, and his family is Guan clan of the county... Gongzai, this is my brother Xuande that I often tell you."

While Wen Chou was talking to Liu Bei and others, Yuan Shirong kept watching silently on the sidelines

Previously, Yuan Shirong asked Wen Chou why he was lieutenant Gongcao and did not choose a virtuous position. Wen Chou told him that he had a younger brother named Liu Bei, a native of Zhuo County, who was brave and brave, and was a member of the Han clan. The position of lieutenant Gongcao was left for him.

Liu Bei was a classmate of Lu Guang when he was studying in Wushi Mountain from Lu Zhi. Lu Guang was not very impressed by Liu Bei and his evaluation was not very high.

Yuan Shirong was originally very puzzled why Wen Chou left such an important position as Lieutenant Gongcao to Liu Bei. When I met today, I knew that Liu Bei was indeed extraordinary. I didn’t say that Liu Bei had a strange appearance or his words and deeds. I only said that Guan and Zhang Jian followed him. Guan and Zhang were all bears and waists, and looked with power. I knew that he would be brave enough to be ordinary people at first sight. Jian Yong was calm and generous, and he was also extremely unparalleled. Liu Bei could be followed by the three of them, so he was obviously a master.

Yuanshi Rong is much stronger than Lu Guang in his viewing people. Although he is also from some families, he slightly despises Liu Bei who is of poor family background. However, since he saw that Liu Bei was a master and Wen Chou kept saying "Liu Bei is my brother", he was of course polite to Liu Bei.

He said, "I heard your name for a long time and finally met each other and said, 'It is better to meet than to be famous.' Now I believe it!"

"I have heard that the Yuan clan is a descendant of Zhao and a famous clan in Jizhou for a long time. I am very lucky to know you now! ... During the previous emperor's dynasty, there was a person named Yuan clan named Jingwei, who was notoriously Yi. I wonder if he came from Jun's family?"

"It's not that there are two counties in my Yuan clan, one in Zhao county and the other in Yingchuan. The meaning of the Yuan clan that you mentioned comes from the Yuan clan of Yingchuan."

"Oh? It turns out that Yingchuan also has a Zongzhi of the Jun surname..., so, Jun and the Lieutenant are very destined to be together."

Yuan Shiyi was a person during the reign of the late emperor. He served as the Tingwei of the court. When the late emperor used the power of eunuchs to kill the domineering general Liang Ji. The ministers and ministers who were Qian were appointed as the chief ministers and the prefect of the country were killed. More than 300 former officials and guests of Liang Ji were removed. The court was empty. Only Yin Xun, who was as famous as Guo Linzong and others, Yuan Xu, who was the great-grandfather of the clan of Yuan Shao, who was Guangluxun, and Yuan Shiyi of the Tingwei was not dismissed because of his merits.

Although Yuanshi Yi was famous in the previous dynasty, it was after all twenty years ago. If it were not mentioned by Liu Bei, even Wen Chou, who was a member of the Yuanshi Yi and the county, did not remember that there was such a famous person from the previous dynasty. He turned his eyes and looked at Liu Bei and thought to himself: "I remember that when I was in the army, I sometimes chatted and talked about the famous scholars and heroes of the prefectures and counties in the court. Many Xuande didn't know much. Unexpectedly, he had not seen each other for several months. He even knew about the court lieutenant of the previous dynasty... It seems that he has not lived at home in the past few months and has done a lot of homework."

Yuan Shirong is the chief clerk of the lieutenant, and Liu Bei is the upcoming lieutenant Gongcao. The two of them will be colleagues in the future to treat Yuan Shirong, a local leader. Liu Bei is very polite (to be continued.)
Chapter completed!
