Chapter 15 Time flies

Spring has passed and autumn has come, and three years have passed, and it has been five years of Zhongping.

Zang Hong was very effective in Dangli's governance and his reputation became higher and higher. Chen Mo heard that the court had already intentionally transferred the teacher to the prefect, but the teacher seemed to be unhappy.

Chen Mo knew why Zang Hong was unhappy, and the Han Dynasty was getting thinner and thinner. Chen Mo could now clearly detect this. The root cause was still among the gentry and gentry.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion three years ago, gentry from all over the country took the opportunity to build forts and absorb refugees, but these refugees were no longer above the Han Dynasty's household registration. In other words, the population above the household registration is much different from the real population of the Han Dynasty. However, the taxes of the court fell on the people with the household registration. The taxes increased year by year, and the people were suffering, but the court was actually helpless.

Chen Mo thought carefully about what to do if he was in the court?

He could only attack the gentry and gentry, but if these people really touched, there would be wars everywhere immediately. After three years of precipitation and learning, Chen Mo is no longer the ignorant young man at the time. He can actually see many problems clearly, but seeing them clearly does not mean that they can solve them.

In Chen Mo's eyes, the gentry and gentry have now gradually become a cancer that destroys the foundation of the Han Dynasty. The people are unable to bear the heavy taxes. In the past three years, people have rebelled almost every year, but the court has not been able to reduce taxes. Local governments have gradually shown signs of primary and secondary transfer.

The teacher was already a little discouraged. Even if he was transferred to the prefect, he would probably be difficult to perform. He would be hindered everywhere. Just taxes alone, he could only compromise with the local gentry.

What's even more serious is that in Chen Mo's opinion, the power of prefects in various places is a bit heavy. Now even county magistrates can be appointed and removed, and most of these positions are held by local gentry.

You should know that before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the county magistrates in various places were dispatched by the court, and the local government recommended Xiaolian to the court as a ruler, and then transferred to the position of the county magistrate. They generally would not be transferred to their hometown. For example, Zang Hong was from Guangling, so he was transferred to Qingzhou. But now, the county magistrates are directly elected locally and then appointed directly over the court, which means that the court's control over the local area is constantly declining.

What will happen next?

Chen Mo speculated several times, but it is difficult to develop in a good direction.

When the gentry and gentry moved, there would be war everywhere immediately. But if it did not move, the Han Dynasty would probably be the next Zhou royal family, which would be covered by the local area, and what would be next?

Let’s start the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period again?

Chen Mo, who was fishing by the river, silently called out the system gods.

Can be opened: Dream Training Camp

In three years, Chen Mo has entered the dream training camp sixteen times. In addition to skills, he has entered the dream battlefield more. It is naturally great to improve. However, these abilities seem to not solve the current problems. The problems of the great man are definitely not reversed by one person. Besides, he has no official status now, so what qualifications are there to take care of?

There were tiny footsteps behind him, and Juan'er's voice sounded: "Young Master, the head of the family will call you back."

"I understand." Chen Mo stretched and stood up.

Fourteen-year-old Chen Mo is seven feet tall and has a starry eyebrow. Although he is young, he is wearing a black robe. The divine light appears while looking around. He is heroic and exudes a sharp look. He looks like a powerful swordsman, but he also has a kind of elegance that a swordsman does not have.

"Young Master caught a lot of fish." Juan'er consciously stepped forward and helped Chen Mo clean up the fish basket. She looked at the fish in the fish basket and exclaimed.

"Exaggeration." Chen Mo pointed at Juan'er's eyebrows. Speaking of which, Juan'er was two years older than him, but at this time, as Chen Mo grew taller, he looked like a little girl standing beside Chen Mo.

Juan'er was told by Chen Mo, and she was not embarrassed. She just looked at Chen Mo carefully. Seeing that he was not really angry, she stuck out her tongue and followed Chen Mo with a smile.

Looking at the back of his young master, Juan'er thought of the way she suddenly came to ask about her men and women three years ago. The young master was really stupid at that time, not as smart as she is now, as if she could not hide anything from his eyes.

"What do you think? The road is here!" Chen Mo's slightly helpless voice came from ahead.

Juan'er then realized that she had walked out of the path without knowing it and almost ran into the river. Her pretty face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head and trotted to follow Chen Mo.

Why does this maid feel more and more stupid?

Chen Mo looked at this cute maid speechlessly. She was obviously quite sensible at the beginning, but why did she keep getting distracted recently?

"Young Master, Mr. Tang and Mr. Xue came to visit today and sent a lot of gifts." Juan'er trotted and said behind Chen Mo.

Three months ago, Zang Hong recommended Chen Mo as a Tongzilang to the court, and the reasons were very good. Chen Mo became a ten-year-old to help Quyang defeat the Yellow Turban thieves. In the past three years, Chen Mo often took Dangli County Guards to wipe out nearby bandits, which made great contributions. In addition, Zang Hong's connections in the court asked Chen Mo to go to Luoyang to be a Tongzilang. That was an edict issued by the general himself. Tang Yuan and Xue Yu were naturally envious. In a few days, Chen Mo was ready to set off.

"Let's send these letters to them later." Chen Mo took out two envelopes from his arms and handed them to Juan'er and smiled.

"Young Master, this is..." Juan'er asked curiously.

In fact, ordinary maids dare not talk to their master like this. It’s just that Chen Mo is free and easy, not cares about his own personal maid, and loves him very much, so Juan'er dares to talk so much. This is not a good habit.

"The letter of thanks, and before leaving, inviting them to have a banquet, is considered to be the care of the past four years." Chen Mo smiled and said, "Although these two people always do something nonsense, I don't know when I will see each other again after this separation, and I feel a little reluctant."

Thinking that Tang Yuan wanted to join the Yellow Turban Army, but was beaten by his father for a month, Chen Mo couldn't help but feel a little funny. A group of people have done a lot of ridiculous things over the years. Now they want to part ways, but they really don't want to leave.

"Young Master, let's go here, won't we come back?" Juan'er asked in surprise.

"It should be that at that time, will you follow your mentor to return to Sheyang? Or will you go to Luoyang with me?" Chen Mo nodded, then looked at Juan'er with a smile.

"Of course I follow the young master." Juan'er almost blurted out, but then she blushed and said, "Juan'er is the young master's personal maid. Wherever the young master goes, Juan'er will naturally go with the young master."

"Okay, Juan'er has been by my side these years. If someone else is changed, maybe she will still be uncomfortable." Chen Mo nodded and did not look at Juan'er.
