This person was Jin Shang, the Grand Tutor of Zhongguo. He shouted,"That's absurd!"
"Huainan and Hebei are thousands of miles apart, and there are even Yanzhou and Yuzhou in between. Not only are there Yellow Turban rebels on the way, but there is also the fierce tiger Cao Cao blocking us. How can we safely reach Hebei with only a few hundred remnant soldiers?”
"Moreover, the relationship between the former emperor and Yuan Shao was like fire and water. How could His Majesty receive preferential treatment if he went to Hebei! This is a villain's words that will harm the country!"
The Grand Tutor Jin Shang berated without any politeness.
Yuan Yin's face turned red when he heard that. He said in embarrassment and anger,""Since we can't go to Hebei, where do you think we should go, Grand Tutor? We can't just sit here and wait for death!”
Jin Shang glanced at the embarrassed Yuan Yin and bowed to Yuan Yao. He continued," Your Majesty, Huainan is now in ruins. We can't stay here for long."”
"Ever since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Runan has become a place where thieves run amok.”
"The Governor of Lujiang, Liu Xun, was an old subject of the late Emperor. This old subject had an old friendship with him and was willing to use his eloquence to persuade Liu Xun to welcome His Majesty and serve His Majesty as his master.”
"Your Majesty, you can bring the army over and station them in Lujiang to wait for the time to change.”
As soon as Jin Shang finished speaking, all the ministers agreed.
Only Yan Xiang remained silent, as if he had other plans and didn't agree.
Yuan Yao could not help but sneer in his heart when he saw this. How could Liu Xun possibly regard him as his master?
He probably promised to welcome him on the surface, but after deceiving him there, he captured him and offered him to Cao Cao for wealth.
At this moment, the system notification sounded in his mind!
"Ding! The system has detected that the host is in a difficult situation. The system has given the host two choices.”
" Option 1: Go to Lujiang. Reward: Sweet potato, potato, and corn seeds.”
" Option 2: Stay in the River Pavilion. Reward: 5,000 Hu of food.”
Looking at these two options, Yuan Yao thought for a moment and finally chose to go to Lujiang, even though he knew that Liu Xun had bad intentions towards him.
But so what? He was just worrying about not being able to find an excuse to deal with him. If he dared to take the initiative to scheme against him, he would directly kill him and occupy Lujiang.
Moreover, there were potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes, which were known as the three divine artifacts of transmigrators. With these high-yield crops, he could recruit refugees and raise troops.
The reason why the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out was because of the corruption of the government, the continuous natural disasters, and the annexation of land by the aristocratic families. In the end, it was because the peasants did not have enough to eat.
The common people of the Celestial Empire had always been patient. As long as they had food to eat, they would not embark on the path of rebellion.
If a dynasty could force the honest farmers to rebel, then the dynasty must be extremely corrupt. If it didn't perish, then there would be no justice.
Therefore, the fact that the Eastern Han Dynasty was able to force a million Yellow Turban soldiers to rebel showed how corrupt the dynasty was. The hearts of the people had been lost, and there was no need for the dynasty to exist anymore.
If Yuan Yao wanted to establish a new dynasty, he had to solve the problem of the refugees 'food.
Originally, he had planned to divide the land of the aristocratic families to rope in the peasants. Anyway, he was now the biggest traitor in the world. His reputation had long been ruined. The signboard of the four generations and three dukes was no longer useful. He had no appeal among the scholars.
Most likely, not many of the great clans would support him. If he couldn't take the upper-class route, he could only take the lower-class route.
However, if the land of the great clans was forcefully distributed to the peasants, there would still be great resistance, because almost all the dukes were the representatives of the great clans.
If he really dared to do so, then he would really be making the entire world his enemy.
These great clans might only condemn him on the surface. After all, the Han Dynasty did not have much time left. The Han Emperor was like a puppet, just a rubber stamp in Cao Cao's hands.
However, if he dared to touch their land, he would not rest until one of them died. Forget about not ruling the world, even if he did, they would still dare to pull him down.
Wang Mang had only been able to replace the Han Dynasty as emperor with the support of the great clans. However, when Wang Mang proposed to reform the land system and divide their land, Wang Mang was deserted by his relatives and became a traitor of the country that everyone had to kill.
These aristocrats immediately supported Liu Xiu to take the throne. Liu Xiu naturally knew that he had relied on the support of the aristocrats to become emperor, so he did not dare to propose a division of land. He only proposed to measure the land and check the household registration to increase the income of the national treasury.
However, this still touched the cheese of the aristocrats. At this moment, these aristocrats did not care if you were the emperor or not and directly rebelled.
Liu Xiu had no choice but to stop Du Tian.
Even Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, did not dare to touch the cheese of the aristocrats, let alone Yuan Yao, an emperor who was about to perish.
Since he could not offend the aristocrats too much for the time being and could not redistribute the cake, he could only make the cake bigger.
After all, the conflict between humans and land was not as great as it was during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the population of the Han Dynasty was far from reaching the upper limit of the population of the Chinese Dynasty.
As long as there were high-yield crops like corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, coupled with the large undeveloped land in Jiangnan, it was more than enough to maintain the prosperity of a feudal dynasty for hundreds of years.
Yuan Yao thought about it for a long time and said,"Since everyone agrees to go to Lujiang, then this matter is settled."”
"Grand Tutor, go and persuade Liu Xun to come and receive you. Zhen will lead the army later.”Yuan Yao instructed Jin Shang.
"Yes!" Jin Shang left.
Yuan Yao watched as the officials slowly retreated, then turned his gaze to Yan Xiang, who had not made a sound all this while.
"Yan Qing, I have a question for you.”
Yan Xiang was stunned when he heard this. He immediately stopped and bowed." Please speak, Your Majesty. I will tell you everything I know."”
"I saw that Yan Qing didn't say anything just now. Do you have other opinions about going to Lujiang?”Yuan Yao asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I do have a different opinion.”Yan Xiang said solemnly," All the officials can go to Lujiang to seek refuge with Liu Xun, but Your Majesty must not go.”
Of course, Yuan Yao knew that Liu Xun had evil intentions, but he wanted to test Yan Xiang, so he asked despite knowing the answer,""Oh, why can't I go to Lujiang? Could it be that Liu Xun wants to harm me?”
"Liu Xun has long been disloyal," Yan Xiang said decisively."When the former emperor was still alive, he didn't listen to his orders and set up his own regime.”
"His Majesty is now at the end of his rope and will definitely be harmed by him!”
"Your Majesty, please think twice before you act. You can't go rashly, or it will be too late to regret!”
"Why didn't you say anything just now?" Yuan Yao asked again.”
"Seeing that everyone agrees, even if I propose it myself, no one will support it. After all, it's difficult to go against the wishes of the masses!”Yan Xiang sighed.
Yuan Yao came to a sudden realization and sighed in his heart," Father, Father, you've finally left me a useful talent. If you can't use him, I can't waste him."
He immediately decided to put Yan Xiang in an important position. He said," Yan Qing, you are a great talent. I would like to appoint you as a military advisor general to assist me in military affairs. I wonder if you are willing to take on this important task?"”
Yan Xiang was delighted when he heard this and immediately bowed." I dare not obey your orders. I am willing to serve Your Majesty!"”
