Chapter 921: Yuan Tan Takes the Bait

In March 205 AD, the Great Court Meeting.

Yuan Shao arrived at the Golden Luan Hall early, sat on the throne, and looked at the hundreds of officials chatting privately in groups of three or four.

His youngest son, Yuan Shang, was the most eye-catching. He was young and handsome, dressed in neat and brand-new court clothes, surrounded by many officials, talking eloquently.

Yuan Shao couldn't help but think of his early years in Emperor Ling's court. Can't help but think of Cao Cao's good friends back then, now, they are all killed by his eldest son, exiled in exile.

Suddenly his eyes flashed, and he discovered a difference between Yuan Shang and others.

The socks on his youngest son's feet are completely different from others.

You must know that people in the Han Dynasty had to take off their shoes when they went to court, and it was a great honor not to take off their shoes to go to court.

Yuan Shao was wearing shoes.

No one else dared to wear shoes.

Yuan Shang's socks were clean and loose, and they were tied with a rope around his ankle.

The socks of other officials are also very clean, but they are not bulky, and they are very bound, and they cannot fall off even if they are not tied with ropes.

On the socks of these officials, some are embroidered with a string of tadpole characters, and some are embroidered with a check mark or something.

Looking from a distance, there are a row of shiny shoes with shoe polish on the shoe shelf.

Yuan Shao recalled, what kind of leather shoes were they called? They could also be nailed into horseshoes, and they rattled on the road. They were much better than wooden clogs, and they were sought after.

"The general is here..."

A sound transmission entered the hall.

All eyes immediately turned to the door.

Yuan Tan came with eight-character steps.

Wang Lang was the first to run over, "Your Majesty welcomes the General. Are these shoes new, General?"

Yuan Tan lifted his foot and said with a smile: "These are called travel shoes, and they are the most popular design this year. Ask each of them to send you a pair to your house later."

"Thank you, Eldest Young Master..." Everyone hurried over to thank you.

Yuan Shao: (︶︿︶)

Yuan Shang: (－_－)

I wonder what he's been thinking all day,

Also to design shoes….

Shaoqing.

With the arrival of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, the court meeting officially began.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is a mascot, and he cannot speak without asking him.

On the court.

Yuan Shao proposed a poverty alleviation plan for the capital.

He took out the roster, and there are more than 30,000 people on the roster, all of whom are poor households.

Clearly enough preliminary research has been done.

It is necessary to build the capital into a paradise on earth, a model of prosperity.

Eliminate all poverty.

This plan has never been seen before or since. After it is completed, it will definitely be recorded in the annals of history, and it can also promote the prosperity and prosperity of the Yuan family.

Whether it is now or in the future, there are great benefits.

Of course, Baiguan fully supports it.

Seeing that everyone had expressed their views, Yuan Shao took advantage of the situation and asked, "Ministers, who do you think will handle this errand?"

Sangong Taiwei Yang Biao walked out immediately according to the prior arrangement, and said: "The general is quite popular, benevolent and loving for the people, fair and selfless, the general is the most suitable person for this errand."

All the officials looked at each other and nodded their heads.

Yuan Shao asked, "Is the general willing?"

Yuan Tan felt that if he worked in poverty alleviation, he would save the people, win the hearts of the people, be nominated, and get promoted quickly. It was a good job in modern times, it was even fatter in ancient times, and it was even more beautiful in troubled times.

But such a good job, don't give it to the third child, give it to him?

Looked at Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang immediately bent over respectfully and respectfully, indicating that such a thing must be done by the elder brother.

There are oddities.

But this is a good thing. If you don't agree to make trouble for all officials, the people all over the world will hate him to death.

Moreover, he is really willing to do something for the people.

Yuan Tan walked out holding the court board, "I am willing to take this job, but I don't know how much food the court plans to invest? And the work of poverty alleviation is not as good as teaching people to fish. What kind of jobs does the court plan to provide?" Woolen cloth?"

All the officials gave their thumbs up one after another, or else the Eldest Young Master was definitely first-class in power, and they reached the crucial point in just a few seconds.

The job post, the wording is also wonderful.

Seeing that he was hooked, Yuan Shao was delighted. The most difficult thing here is the job position. After all, there are more than 30,000 people, what can they do to make ends meet?

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shang, even Sima Yi had no clue. Fortunately, this is a hole they dug, and there is no need to bother with it.

Yuan Shao solemnly said: "You can come and decide on the job position. If you want money and food, you can communicate with Jushou about this matter."

"Here."

...

down the day.

Yuan Tan came to the official office of the Situ Ministry.

"We welcome the General."

Jushou led more than 100 officials of the Situ Department on duty to welcome him.

Yuan Tan took the position of Jushou with great horsepower, and said: "Military division, is this title acceptable?"

"This makes the officials very kind." Ju Shou waved his hand, signaling all the officials to go down.

Yuan Tan poured himself a cup of tea, "Sit, sit. How much money does the court plan to pay?"

Ju Shou sat down with a flustered expression, "My lord, what kind of work do you plan to let these people do?"

Yuan Tan gets a headache when he thinks of this. Finding jobs for 30,000 people is impossible even in modern times. I remember that in the modern news, the provision of hundreds of job opportunities is enough for the local government to boast.

"It depends on how much food the imperial court can allocate."

Ju Shou stood up and said in embarrassment: "My lord, the money that can be provided to you in the national treasury is only one hundred thousand guan at most."

Yuan Tan: (⊙v⊙) Huh?

Jushou immediately opened a wooden box and took out the accounts from it, "Please read it, my lord, what the officials said is true."

Yuan Tan flipped through and dropped the last account.

It really is poor.

What the hell is helping the poor without money?

No wonder he gave himself such a good job.

Now the matter of poverty alleviation has been publicized all over the world. When Yuan Tan fails to do it, the good things will immediately turn into a black pot.

People in the world don't talk about how the imperial court is, but only talk about Yuan Tan.

With Yuan Tan's current status, he is definitely not a complainer, so he got up and walked around Jushou twice.

Jushou's head was sweating.

Yuan Tan smiled and said, "Military Master, what do you think of this matter with your literary skills and military strategy?"

"This...." Of course Jushou could see that Yuan Tan was cheated by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shang, and knelt down, "It's hard to say."

Yuan Tan also couldn't say anything clearly.

On the way back, cheers from the people kept coming from the streets and alleys.

The walls everywhere are covered with notices of the imperial court's poverty alleviation.

"Elder Master! Elder Master is here to help the poor, we will have a good life..." You can see many beggars holding sticks, shouting their names, already shedding tears with excitement.

At that time, no one will help the poor....

at the same time.

Yuan Shang Mansion.

Yuan Shang stood in the corridor, listening to Sima Yi's report.

Sima Yi said: "The Eldest Prince walked out of the Situ Department with his head down, and he didn't say anything when Ju Shou said he had no money."

"What can my elder brother say? Talking too much will only make him appear incompetent."

Yuan Shangxi said: "Money and food are actually second. After all, 30,000 people are my elder brother's family, and there is no problem with eating for a month. The most important thing is the job that my elder brother proposed, 30,000 jobs. These people are Illiterate, with such a job, will they still be poor?"

"If the errands are not handled well, the common people will spit at them, and the court will punish them..."

"The eldest prince can be delayed." Sima Yi suddenly said, seeing Yuan Shang in a daze, he smiled and said: "It is better to delay, the eldest prince will not be able to do other things."

"Yeah." Yuan Shang nodded hastily, feeling like a fish in water with Sima Yi by his side.
