Chapter 120 The world is in chaos

After more than a year, Zhang Zhan has grown much older, and it is like this to be an official. If you ignore everything and throw it to your subordinates, it will be easy to govern. However, if you do things seriously or even a little stupid like Zhang Zhan, you will fall into endless documents.

However, the most tiring thing is that no matter how hard I try, I can't make my county feel powerless. Especially when the emperor who issued the orders in Shoucheng's room "I have a plan" every few days, he could only be tired of dealing with it.

After the Fifth Republic met with Zhang Zhan, he mentioned that he was shocked at the gate of the city that the emperor had changed the currency. Zhang Zhan shook his head: "Last year, the county and state food was summoned to support the army to fight against the Huns, and now the disadvantages are beginning to appear."

Unlike the bumper harvests of the previous year, many places suffered disasters last fall, while there was no snow in the winter in Hedong and other places, which means that there may be locust plagues in spring and summer, which is even more worrying.

Under this circumstance, grain prices began to soar, and even Guandong and Guanzhong in the grain-producing areas surged to thousands of coins of rice and stones.

The emperor believed that this wave of inflation was due to the excessive issuance of big money, so he waved his hand and abolished a big cloth Huang Qian, which could be exchanged for thousands of dollars.

The fifth reunion was unable to complain. Last year, he paid salary to the border counties and counties, but this thing was still used. You said it would be abolished. Many counties even had time to receive the news and the money in their hands became scrapped copper. They took it out and even broke the law. Where can I go to complain about the injustice? There are few people in the folk who hold a thousand yellow cloth, but the officials are not allowed to refuse to use it. The leeks are cut on the heads of officials again.

By the way, Wuweisi ordered another gust of wind in the Sixth Army and the Sixth Team, arresting a group of thieves and castings as officials and slaves.

However, unlike the past four coin changes, Wang Mang did not mint new coins this time, but instead abolished all the strange and strange currencies, leaving only two types of goods and cloth and goods. The two qualities were parallel. The coin was one inch in diameter, weighed five zhu and was one straight, which was no different from the Wuzhu coins of the Han Dynasty, so he changed his name and inscription.

"Isn't this going back?"

Wu Lun shook his head. If he had known this, he would have been tossing and struggling over the past ten years.

Zhang Zhan said again: "The good news is that since Boyu said that Zhan Dehou took over you as a border general, he has always advocated Hu Huairou, which probably means that the war against the Huns will really stop."

In this situation this year, the country really cannot afford the huge expenses of long-term combat with the Huns. But the main reason is that in just one year, domestic thieves have grown to an unignorable level.

"When Boyu went north, there were many thieves in the world, but they did not exceed the situation in the later years of Hanwu. There were hundreds of small groups of people who robbed and robbed the countryside, and many were too numerous to calculate, resulting in the road being cut off. There were thousands of people who were bold and arrogant, attacked cities, seized weapons from the treasury, released prisoners of death, arrested, insulted county magistrates, wei, and chief, and killed six hundred stone officials."

At that time, Wang Mang did not take these bandits seriously, so he only sent embroidered envoys to hold the emperor's talismans and urged the counties to suppress them.

As a result, after a year, we have escaped the blessings of natural disasters and man-made disasters. The more thieves are suppressed, the weak are killed in the road, and the strong are involved in the thieves. After the continuous joining, many "giant bandits" have appeared.

Zhang Zhan told the fifth reunion that although there were many thieves and bandits in the world, they were especially popular in Jingyang and Qingxu.

"There are Kuaiji Guatianyi in Yangzhou, and the bandits of Lujiang attacked Wangzhou Duke. The two of them had more than 10,000 troops, and they fought all over the country and exchanged voices."

"There are Zhang Ba of Nanjun and Yangmu in Jiangxia. There are tens of thousands of people. The most powerful one is the Green Forest thieves. It is said that there are as many as 20,000 to 30,000 thieves, and they have reached the point of occupying the county town, and the county cannot control it."

Zhi Yun called the soul of the deceased former dynasty, and believed that the Han family would be ordered again, so he suggested that Wang Mang simply follow Yao and Shun and quickly abdicate the throne to the Liu family. In this way, the chaos in the world can be solved!

After experiencing Lu Fangzhi, the Fifth Reun was no longer surprised by the act of calling the great man the soul. The Taixue really produced talents, and he only asked: "What happened to Zhi Yun later?"

Zhang Zhan said: "I was arrested by Wuweisi and sent to the imperial prison, but His Majesty did not let him kill him. He told the court that Zhi Yun had a crazy disease and was a lunatic."

But what does this matter have to do with the demolition of Ganquan Palace?

It turned out that after Wang Mang was stimulated by this incident, he believed some of the remarks of the prides. He also saw that there were many thieves from all over the world and attacked the Huns. Jucheng was not going well, and he thought that there was something wrong with Feng Shui. So he wrote a letter and decided to divide the land into hundreds of hectares in the south of Chang'an City, south of Jinshui, and west of Mingtang. He wanted to formally build the nine temples that had been delayed for his ancestors for a long time. He also inspected them personally and built three times.

But the treasury is empty and the people are scarce, so there is no way to transport huge trees from the mountains and Sichuan in Zhongnan. So Wang Mang, a little genius, slapped his forehead and had another plan!

Why bother to seek far and wide? The beams, pillars, giant trees, and always stay in the surrounding areas, isn’t there anything else?

So he took his ideas to the palaces of the previous dynasty, such as Jianzhang Palace, Chengguang, Baoyang, Quantai, Chuyuan Palace, Pingle, Danglu, Yanglu Pavilion, and more than ten places. Chang'an was near. The gorgeous palaces built by Emperor Wu of Han who used to invest in the wealth of people in the past were demolished, and even the Ganquan Palace was in trouble.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to destroy the four old days of the previous dynasty and save a lot of money, grain, manpower?

However, Di Wulun secretly complained: "Wang Mang Jiu Temple uses beams, pillars and tiles in the Han Dynasty, which is inexplicable. Isn't this new dynasty completely inheriting the frame of the previous dynasty and applying a layer of new paint to finish it. Don't you know that even the stilbees in the wood are preserved, which is strange if they are immortal."

Although the three temples in front of the nine temples of Wangmang, such as the "Huangdi Taichu Ancestor Temple", the "Huangdi Yu's Ancestor Zhao Temple", and the "Chen Hu Wang Tongzu Mu Temple" are also the ancestors of the fifth clan.

After saying a few words, the fifth reunion could hear the deep fatigue in Zhang Zhan's language. The county magistrate who was only loyal and loyal two years ago was a little discouraged today. He couldn't help but complain about the new dynasty's Yazheng, but it was suitable to stop and did not say too much.

The fifth reunification remembered Zhang Zhan's attitude. Since he wanted to use Liewei as his base camp in the future, the county magistrate Zhang Zhan could not avoid it. He only hoped that in the future, he would not have to kill the master.

When saying goodbye, Zhang Zhan only instructed the fifth reunion: "Now the prince has been abolished, the national master has lost his power, and the situation is unclear. And I am not happy with His Majesty. No one in the court can help Boyu. When you enter the palace to meet the saint in a few days, be careful when you speak!"

...

After leaving Changling, the fifth reunion was warmly welcomed by the entire clan as soon as he entered Changling. The fifth reunion was the leader. Standing on the ox cart, he burst into laughter when he saw the fifth reunion team from afar.

"It's my general who is back!"

The Fifth Domineer was naturally happy. Not only did his grandson return safely from the expedition, but he also made him appoint him as a general, which undoubtedly raised the Fifth Family's sanctuary much higher.

Before Wu Ren could hug his eldest father in tears, he first saw two maids beside him holding two jade-carved children. They were only a few months old. The fifth domineer took it, with one on one side of his left and right hands.

The fifth reunion teased them: "Big Father, which child is this..."

The fifth domineeringly proudly: "These are your two uncles."

Wulun's smile was frozen on his face. Fortunately, when he was in Xinqinzhong, he was worried that the fifth domineering Ankang would come. Unexpectedly, he didn't expect that the old man could still have a baby in his seventies, and he still had two more!

Looking at the eyebrows, nose and eyes, it was exactly the same as the fifth domineering. The fifth reunion smiled again and picked up the two uncles and kissed them.

The Fifth Ba was using this special way to tell the Fifth Reun: "If you want to do big things, don't worry, I have no health problems!"

Others in the clan have a little more respect for the Fifth Reun. With the Fifth Reun becoming an official, the Fifth Reun has become one of the top tyrants in Wei County, second only to the Qion of Qiongcheng and the Qion of Xiaoxiang, and have even more power. After all, he will be able to enter the palace to meet the saint in a few days.

The first Liu was dead, and Xiao was also gone to the first level. The first one came to pay homage, the eighth Jiao, the sixth Du, and the fourth Xian, he hurriedly reported to the fifth reunion the results of his sect's main to the east and the south.

Because he didn't know history, he was more concerned about information. He couldn't rely on him to measure it alone. So he used his own caravan and asked by the way that people named "Liu Xiu" in various places were sure that Liu Xin was not the "son of the plane".

The result was a disappointment to the fifth reunion. It was not that I didn’t find it, but that I found too many. The single name system created by Wang Mang led to frequent names in this world, such as Jing Dan’s son and his relatives’ names, and the rebellious Wang Kuang in Green Forest Mountain actually shared the name with the Xin Dynasty Grand Tutor, and Wang Mang, a concubine, was also called Wang Kuang...

But the fifth reunion heard the fourth reunion report again. It has been a year since his caravan went south to the right team (Hongnong), and went east to the Zhao team (Hedong), and arrived in the back team (Hanoi).

Wait, why do you feel like you are visiting the production brigade next door? The fifth reunion abandoned this strange idea and blamed the fourth reunion: "Why is the progress so slow when you use the charity warehouse for money and grain?"

"The master, there is nothing I can do."

The fourth Xianshu complained: "A total of three caravans were sent, but when they arrived in other counties, they were frequently robbed. When the other party had fewer people, they could still repel them by relying on submissions. However, the thieves were like mahjong, even in the six teams, and there were hundreds of people who were plagiarizing the people."

"The team was lucky. After arriving in Hanoi, they returned home. When they went to Hongnong, they lost their goods, money and clothes, and they were stripped naked, so they could only come back all the way. The worst thing was when they went to Taiyuan, they were killed by bandits on the way, and there was no news... "

The fifth reunion was so tragic that he was shocked, and the fourth reunion cried: "Master, unless dozens or hundreds of people gathered to carry troops, no one dared to leave the county again. No one could have thought that in just a few years, the world was in such chaos!"
