Although Ju Xian was furious at Liu Yu's blatant contempt, he still held it back in the end.
After all, he asked Sima Yue for this job not really because he wanted to coordinate and negotiate peace between Gou Xi and Liu Yu, but because he wanted to return to his home.
Previously, because Ju Xian was appointed as the prefect of Donglai County to replace Liu Yu, he was driven away by the Donglai army without even seeing the door of his house.
This time Ju Xian thought that he would return to the clan no matter what, and then lead the whole family to move south to Jiangdong.
At night, Ju Xian, who was staying at the inn, was about to fall asleep when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Ju Xian thought it was an official who had something urgent to do, so he got up and opened the door.
After the door opened, Ju Xian found that the person knocking on the door was not an official, but his son Ju Peng.
Ju Xian was suddenly surprised and happy. After asking about the situation at home, Ju Xian was a little surprised. Why could Ju Peng come here late at night? Aren't there curfews in counties and counties?
"Father, my son is now the governor of the county. This curfew inspection is under my jurisdiction."
After hearing this, Ju Xian said sadly.
"Oh, I have wronged you by bending myself to be a thief."
Ju Peng said with some embarrassment on his face.
"There is no grievance. If I hold an official position, our clan will be exempted from some taxes."
After hearing this, Ju Xian nodded slightly. He knew that the Tianshi Taoist thief Liu Yu had transformed Donglai County into a large military camp. The wealthy families who did not need to pay taxes now had to pay taxes, otherwise they would have to pay taxes. Some of the middle school children hold official positions or serve as sergeants in the army.
In the eyes of Ju Xian and others, this is simply a huge evil policy, turning the nobles who inherited the famous poetry and rituals into vulgar military households like the Qin and Han military meritorious officials. It is even more abominable than Gou Xi's massacre of powerful men in Qingzhou. Gou Xi Xi wanted to kill people, but Liu Yu wanted to kill people.
"My father is coming back this time. On the surface, I am investigating Gou Xi and Liu Yu for Taiwan Province. In fact, I am here to lead the clan out of danger." Ju Xian said worriedly.
"Ah? Father, what do you mean?" Ju Peng didn't quite understand what his father meant.
"Alas, you have been staying in Donglai County, a place with no information. I don't know how the world's situation has collapsed."
Then Ju Xian explained to his son that the chaos in the world was now out of control, the Luoyang court was empty, and the only army that could be deployed was the last Chinese army to defend Luoyang, and this was the last military force to defend Luoyang. Dare to mobilize easily. In addition to the rebels and refugees in the prefectures and counties, the most serious threat is Bingzhou. The Huns from Hu Han State are getting stronger and stronger. I heard that they have already won over the Di and Qiang people in Guanzhong. I am afraid that they will attack Luoyang again next year.
Sima Yue, the regent of the East China Sea, has appointed his confidant Sima Rui, the king of Langya, as General Andong, the commander-in-chief of the military affairs in Yangzhou and Jiangnan.
What does this mean? This is clearly planning a way out for himself. It shows that the King of East China Sea has lost confidence in the situation in the Northern Central Plains. I am afraid that a great chaos that will be as tragic as that in the late Han Dynasty is coming again. For the sake of his family, For the sake of family planning, the Ju family of Donglai must move south to Jiangdong.
After hearing Ju Xian's words, his son Ju Peng looked like he had already understood.
"Father, I have seen these in the county newspaper."
"ah?"
"Nowadays, the first thing every official in Donglai County does every day is read this newspaper."
Ju Peng then introduced the Di Bao in detail. The information obtained through various channels was circulated to the officials like official documents. However, this was very expensive, and there was no need to let the small officials in the counties and counties know about many major world events. ah.
As the saying goes, "The people can do it but not know it." These major national affairs should be evaluated and governed by famous officials and ministers, and small officials in counties and counties should be allowed to comment on how they should be done.
"Nowadays, the center of Luoyang is dilapidated and weak, and all frontier states and counties are flooded with migrating Hu people. If all the nobles and nobles in the Central Plains have moved south, then how can the millions of people in the Central Plains without their leaders fight against the Hu people who live together in one place?" How could I, the Ju family of Donglai, do this if I didn't give my great country to the barbarians for free?"
"This is a fallacy. It was not us who lost a hundred thousand imperial troops. It was not us who led the barbarians into the fortress. Even if we lost our homeland, it was not our fault."
"Father, if we leave our family and move south like this, how can we live up to the hard work of my ancestors of the Ju family in Donglai County." Ju Peng persuaded patiently.
"What are you afraid of? Jiangdong is vast and sparsely populated, and there is a large area of land that can be opened up as fertile farmland. Moreover, the King of Donghai has promised that the nobles will move to the south of the Yangtze River and occupy at least three times the amount of land in the Central Plains. The land that I, the Ju family, lost in Donglai will be in the south of the Yangtze River." You can get at least three times the compensation, which will not detract from the Ju family." Ju Xian understands his son's idea of abandoning the ancestral accumulation, but since he can get several times the compensation, he can give it up.
"Every piece of earth and every tree was obtained by our ancestors overcoming thorns and thorns. Now that the world is in chaos and all kinds of evildoers are stirring up trouble, we, the nobles and nobles of our generation, should personally set an example to protect the country and the people. How can we easily escape and do such irresponsible things?" Ju Peng Didn't seem to be convinced at all and instead tried to convince his father.
"The county newspaper said that back then, Xiang Yu was so dishonest that he refused to cross the Yangtze River. He was ashamed to face the Jiangdong elders. Now that the situation in the world is not irreversible, Sima Yue will be unable to escape from the south of the Yangtze River. Before the Northerners We laugh at the Soochow gentry every day as being the remnants of the country’s destruction. Now that we have moved south, aren’t we afraid that the remnants of the Wu people in the south of the Yangtze River will laugh at the Sima family as the people who destroyed the country?”
