Nanyang County was established in the 35th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin and its capital was located in Wancheng.

The Han Dynasty followed the old system of Nanyang County, and its jurisdiction did not change much over the past four hundred years.

Nowadays, Nanyang County has 37 counties under its jurisdiction, with a population of more than 27 million,000, making it the most deserving county in the world.

When Liu Pan led his troops to Nanyang, the former prefect Zhang Ji and Zhang Zhongjing had already gone north to Luoyang.

It has a vast territory and a large population.

The more things you need to deal with.

What awaits Liu Pan is a mess that needs to be combed from scratch in everything.

When Liu Pan came to the prefect's mansion, the first thing he did was to summon officials at all levels in the county to discuss matters.

More than 20 officials in Wancheng were in charge of various affairs.

With Liu Pan's old subordinates, the originally spacious lobby suddenly became crowded.

This is not counting the county magistrates from all over Nanyang.

If all thirty-seven county magistrates were summoned, they would have to sit directly in the yard.

Looking at the awkward officials, Liu Pan couldn't help but feel a little headache.

There is no way, political attributes are his shortcomings.

Even though he recruited Guo Jia and Xun Yu one after another, his politics was only 52 points.

His low political attributes make him unable to handle matters in the county and county affairs at present.

Liu Pan is not good at handling government affairs, but he still has a view of the overall situation.

After a few short inaugural speeches, Liu Pan resolutely checked various accounts in the county.

The first is money and food.

Nanyang has sufficient labor, plump land, and well-connected transportation hubs.

However, what surprised Liu Pan was that there was not much money and grain reserves in Nanyang County.

It was just a little more money and food than Liu Pan brought with him.

Liu Pan successively obtained the secret treasure of Prince Dan of Yan, the wealth plundered by the Yellow Turban Army, and the huge amount of money and food given by Zhen Yi.

But most of these things are caused by the money-burning system, and less than one ten left.

But these ten are less than one, which is barely equal to the treasury of a large county like Nanyang.

Is this normal?

Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others also saw that something was wrong.

The few people looked at each other, and saw that Liu Pan's face was gloomy but it was not triggered. They were not in a hurry to make suggestions immediately, but checked the soldiers' list.

As the capital of a large county, the garrison in Wancheng should be more than 5,000 or less, or less.

There are only three thousand garrisons on the roster.

In terms of age, these 3,000 people are over thirty years old, and even those close to fifty years old appear.

How does a 50-year-old veteran go to the battlefield?

Even if the sword in his hand is sharp, does he still have agility and enough strength to swing the knife?

Looking at the account books of weapons and equipment, Liu Pan found that it was even more unsightly.

There are three thousand people registered on the soldier list, while there are only two thousand sets of armor on the weapon and equipment account list!

There are even less expensive arms like war horses!

Less than three hundred horses!

The weapons and equipment in stock cannot even be armed with a local army of 3,000 people.

The capital Wancheng looks like this indestructible, so the other thirty counties are naturally not much better!

The world's largest county is so shabby!

Bang!

Slap all kinds of accounts on the table.

Liu Pan's face turned cold.

The cold eyes swept across the bodies of more than 20 officials in Wancheng.

"Do you think this marquis can't kill people by wielding his sword? Or do you think the Zhongxing sword given by His Majesty is not sharp?"

The murderous intent mixed with anger was emitted without any concealment.

More than 20 officials in Wancheng were frightened and knelt all over the ground in panic.

"My husband, please spare me! I'm not guilty!"

"Although Nanyang is the largest county in the world, it has been difficult for years to fight. The imperial court always sends people to ask for money and grain collection, and the people are already suffering!"

"Last year, thanks to his former prefect Zhang Taishou's excellent medical skills, otherwise the number of more than 2.7 million people in Nanyang would probably have been reduced by one fifth!"

The officials hurriedly explained and told Liu Pan about the difficulties.

Liu Pan also knew a little about what they said.

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Nanyang, which had a large population, was the hardest hit area.

Zhang Mancheng shouted the slogan "Huang Tiandao" and gathered more than 100,000 people to confront the local garrisons in Nanyang. The then prefect Qin Jie fought hard without reinforcements and finally killed Zhang Mancheng.

Later, Zhao Hong was elected as the commander of the Yellow Turban Qu, commanding the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang and launched a second fierce attack on Nanyang.

After the last war, Nanyang was seriously injured, and the prefect Qin Jie could no longer protect Wancheng and died.

Later, Huangfu Song conferred Liu Hong's edict on his behalf and defeated Zhao Hong's Yellow Turban Army.

After Zhao Hong's death, the Yellow Turban Army recommended Bo Cai again, and Bo Cai vigorously promoted his general Peng Tuo.

The two led their troops to defeat Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun one after another, and occupied Wancheng again.

It was not until Liu Pan let Tang Zhou poison Zhang Jiao to death, and he greatly attacked the Yellow Turban Army in terms of morale.

Only then did Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun turn the defeat into victory, drive Bo Cai and Peng out, and retake Wancheng.

In this way, Wancheng changed hands several times, and the money, grain and arms reserved over the years have long been looted.

In addition, countless casualties were killed or injured in succession, which led to a great plague, which caused Nanyang's economy to retreat instead of advancing.

It is already a blessing to have not become an empty shell now.

Liu Pan's face calmed down: "So that's the case, it's hard for you. I am young and energetic, and I am used to hanging out on the battlefield. Please don't blame me."

The officials did not dare to say anything, and then bent down and retreated with Liu Pan's wave.

When they all left, only their own people were left in the lobby.

"Hmph! These bastards! Do you really think this marquis is easy to fool?"

There was murderous intent in Liu Pan's eyes.

He doesn't care what Nanyang was like before.

But now Nanyang is his territory, he has to take care of it.

What the officials just said is indeed reasonable.

But it is by no means the main reason why Nanyang Ku Mansion is so empty that it is at this point.

The county has a population of more than 2700,000 people. Is that a decoration?

The wealth they created is hard to estimate!

"What do you think?" Liu Pan put away his anger and asked everyone around him.

He could guess that there must be something tricky, but what the trick was not something he or this guy with political attribute 52 could guess.

Hua Xin took a step forward: "Lord, in my opinion, most of them are the officials who have gained their own pockets."

"That's true. The imperial army would never emptie the treasury's money, grain and weapons. Although the Yellow Turban thieves occupied Wancheng several times, they could not take away all the things." Guan Ning added.

Bingyuan also spoke: "I'm afraid there are more than these officials in Wancheng. The Jingzhou clan is full of powerful people. Most of the magistrates of each county come from aristocratic families. For the interests of the family, they probably all participated."

Among the civil officials under Liu Pan, Hua Xin and the other three are the oldest and the oldest, and of course the first to speak.

They are right.

Everyone nodded.
