After walking out of the main hall, Lin Mu changed into regular clothes and arrived outside Luoyang City.
When he entered the city, Lin Mu had already seen someone giving porridge outside the city. The situation of people starving all over the place had improved a lot.
When they arrived outside the city, Jia Xu came to Lin Mu and shouted, "Your Majesty."
These refugees had never seen the emperor before. When they saw Jia Xu kneeling, they all knelt down.
Jia Xu shouted loudly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving us food to save the people."
Only rewards and punishments cannot be faked.
It was Lin Mu who gave the porridge to save people. Even if it was Jia Xu who executed the porridge, he still had to tell the refugees that this was not the porridge given by Jia Xu, but by the emperor.
If you want to thank, then thank the Emperor.
And now is the best time.
Only then did these refugees understand that it was the trees that saved them. They kept chanting "Long Live the Mountain" while kowtowing to the trees.
Lin Mu walked around Jia Xu, lifted the refugee who was kneeling on the ground, and patted the dust on his pants.
"Is this porridge enough for everyone to eat every day?"
"Enough to eat, enough to eat."
After Lin Mu stepped forward to chat with the people for a while, Lin Mu and Jia Xu came to the porridge shed together.
Lin Mu pulled the porridge person aside, then picked up a spoon and served porridge to the refugees who were queuing up.
Jia Xu also asked the other person to go aside, and he also picked up a spoon and gave porridge to the refugees.
He said while serving porridge.
"Your Majesty, most of the families have returned the stolen food to the court in the past few days. Many of them have even returned more, but some of them have no intention of returning."
"What's the crime of robbing military rations?"
Jia Xu hesitated for a moment and then said.
"capital offense……"
"Since it's a capital crime, why do you still ask me?"
Jia Xu didn't expect that Lin Mu meant this.
"However, these families are involved in the imperial court, and some officials..."
"If there is any deception, they will all be killed."
"promise."
Lin Mu put a large spoonful of porridge on a tile handed over by a homeless man.
Looking at the large number of refugees in front of him, Lin Mu suddenly thought of something.
"Since you have already given out porridge, don't be stingy. Go ahead and tell me that the palace is in urgent need of repairs. If anyone is willing to come to the palace to repair and work on it, they can have enough to eat and can also take away three bowls of porridge."
After Jia Xu heard Lin Mu's words, his eyes lit up.
Nowadays, the palace is still a scorched earth. If hundreds of people slowly clean it up, I don't know how many years it will take to clean it up.
The number of these refugees is indeed very large now, and it is indeed a good way to let these refugees repair the palace.
And the palace can be repaired in this way, but what about other things?
Luoyang City has gone through many hardships, and the city walls have already been damaged in many places.
In addition, many houses in the city were destroyed during the original turmoil.
"promise."
………
In Jizhou Mansion, Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, was drinking with someone.
When the atmosphere at the banquet was in full swing, this man smiled and spoke.
"Han Jizhou, I have something to say, is it okay?"
Han Fu said quickly.
"Friends can speak for themselves."
Youruo is the name of Xun Chen, and the Xun family is the Yingchuan family. However, since Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, Yingchuan has also been poisoned.
The Xun family had already evacuated Yingchuan and came to Jizhou.
After arriving in Jizhou, Yuan Shao treated the Xun family as honored guests, so Xun Chen joined Yuan Shao's command.
This time Xun Chen came to represent Yuan Shao.
"What's the current situation in Han Jizhou?"
After Han Fu hesitated for a while, he spoke.
"Dangerous."
It turned out that after Dong Zhuo was killed, Han Fu took his people back to Jizhou.
As soon as he returned to Jizhou, he caught up with the Quyi rebellion.
Han Fu is inherently weak and cannot be defeated.
In addition, Gongsun Zan from the north also started to take action and prepared to enter Jizhou.
There is rebellion within and powerful enemies outside. To say that this situation is in danger is an understatement.
Xun Chen saw the fear on Han Fu's face and smiled secretly in his heart.
"There is only one plan that can work now."
Han Fu stood up and came to Xun Chen's side.
"What's the plan?"
"Hanzhou Mu Ruo will let Jizhou belong to my lord."
"ah?!"
Han Fu was already weak. After hearing this, he did not immediately drive Xun Chen out. Instead, he began to think about the feasibility of this plan.
…………
Five days later, in Luoyang City.
"Yuan Shao invites you to join Jizhou as a pastor?"
Lin Mu frowned as he looked at the presented letter.
This world is said to be the Han Dynasty, but in fact it has already been full of princes.
Under the original situation, state shepherds and county governors were actually only appointed by the court, but since the Han Dynasty began to recruit troops on their own, this situation became countless.
Because the imperial court's orders could no longer be effectively implemented.
Just like Yuan Shao now, he has soldiers and generals, and his reputation is still high.
At this time, even if the imperial court sends a new Jizhou Shepherd, what will happen?
Is he really Jizhou Mu?
Power is only useful if the people below obey it. In this case, who will care about the state pastor appointed by the court?
Everyone in Jizhou belongs to Yuan Shao. Even if Lin Mu disagrees, Yuan Shao is still the de facto state pastor.
This is not only the case in Jizhou, but also in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty. If you have soldiers and generals who occupy a county, you are the prefect of the county, and if you occupy a state, you are the governor of the state.
The appointment of the imperial court has become a piece of paper. It is better to have it, but it does not matter if it does not have it.
If you want these princes to truly surrender, you can only be obedient by taking back their military power and cutting off their wings.
But will they just stand there and let the court cut them?
impossible!
Once the court has this intention, what if it is the emperor?
Should we rebel or rebel? Not to mention the declining Han Dynasty.
Even when the imperial court was still influential, if there was any reduction of vassal status or removal of military power, some people would rebel, let alone now.
There are countless people like Wu Sangui and Zhu Zhu.
When it does not affect my own interests, I respect you as the emperor. When my own interests are affected, I respect you.
Each one of them either needs to wear more clothes when the weather is cold, or there is a villain appearing next to the emperor, or they hear a fox barking, or even a fortune teller.
If Lin Mu dares to issue a summons now, he will say that the military power of various counties and counties will be lifted.
Qingtian will die again soon, and then all the people from the east, west, north, and Hua Laoxian will also appear in batches.
No matter how strong Lin Mu is, his weapon is still an ax and not an atomic bomb, and his hair will not suddenly turn golden.
Therefore, the rice must be eaten one bite at a time, and the territory must be cleared one by one.
But even so, the state's Mu Linmu was not willing to give it.
Although this matter has almost been established, the Yuan family can even be said to be loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty.
Yuan Wei died at the sword of Dong Zhuo, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu launched an army to rebel against Dong. Logically speaking, such a loyal minister should be given to Jizhou Mu.
But Lin Mu just didn't want to give it, what bullshit established rules.
If I don’t give it to you, you can’t steal it!
