Chapter 57 Changjiong Official Records (I)

The third year of Yuanguang

The Yellow River broke its mouth in Puyang, seized the Si River, and entered the Huai River. The fields in sixteen counties were destroyed by floods, and more than one million people were displaced.

Emperor Liu Che sent Ji An and Zheng to build a dam. In order to protect his manor in Chenliu County, Prime Minister Tian Fu said to the emperor: "It is God's will to burst the dam in the Yellow River. How can Your Majesty force the dam? If you do this, God will be furious."

Emperor Liu Che asked, "What should I do? I heard that there are already hundreds of thousands of refugees in the Huai River."

"Uh..." Tian Fu was at a loss. He just wanted to keep his manor. He never thought that the people would be the life or death. Being the prime minister was due to the power of the empress dowager and the king.

...

After returning to the mansion

Tian Fen quickly ordered the maid beside him: "Go and call Wang Changjiong, a doctor of literature, over."

"Yes." The maid left immediately.

After a while, a handsome young man walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion and bowed to Tian Fu and said respectfully: "Student Wang Changjiong, pay homage to the Prime Minister."

"Guangming, come on, sit down, I have something to discuss with you." Tian Feng asked the handsome boy to kneel on a soft mat, and ordered the maid to serve tea and water, and finally asked the maid to go out and close the door.

Scream-

As the maid left, Wang Changjiong, who had been sitting and not talking, bowed to Tian Fu again and said, "I dare to ask the Prime Minister, what's wrong with calling the students?"

This handsome young man Wang Changjiong is the one from the Wang family in Liaodong, with his name Guangming.

A few years ago, after being defeated by Wang Chaoge in a swordsmanship competition, he completely gave up martial arts and instead focused on literary methods, studying various Confucian classics hard every day.

Finally, last year, under the dual effect of his profound talent and the Liaodong Wang family's money, he was recommended by the Liaodong County Government as a doctor of literature by the "filial piety and honesty" to the Chang'an court as a doctor of literature by the Liaodong County Government during his studies.

Later, he was very talented and relied on the relationship between the Wang family in Liaodong and became a student of Prime Minister Tian Fu, and it was not in vain that the many treasures the Wang family in Liaodong sent to Tian Fu every year.

"Now that the Yellow River is flooding, hundreds of thousands of people in the Huai River have become refugees. What if it were you?" Tian Feng asked straight to the point and directly.

"Build a dam and turn the Yellow River water back to the old path." Wang Changjiong answered without hesitation. This is also a way that normal people can think of.

"Uh..." Tian Fu was speechless. Of course he knew that doing so could solve the problem, but if he built a dam and changed the Yellow River water back to the old road, his manor in Chenliu County would be flooded by the Yellow River water, which he could not accept no matter what.

Of course, the problem of hundreds of thousands of refugees needs to be solved, but the premise is that the interests of him, the prime minister, would not be infringed upon, otherwise Tian Fu would rather let hundreds of thousands of refugees become anti-investors and be slaughtered.

"What are the teacher's concerns?" In order to further narrow the relationship with the prime minister of the dynasty, Wang Changjiong directly called the other party a teacher.

"Apart from this method, are there any other methods?" Tian Fu was embarrassed to say directly that he refused to build a dam in order to protect the manor, so he skipped this topic and asked directly if there were any other methods.

"Well..." Wang Changjiong thought for a long time, then smiled and said, "Students have a way to achieve the best of both worlds."

"Oh? What is the best of both worlds?" Tian Fu also became interested.

"It is difficult to solve the problem of using land for relief." Wang Changjiong replied.

"What is land for relief? It's difficult to solve the problem of the three difficulties?" Tian Fu asked again.

"Let the students drink a little tea."

"Haha! Of course."

After saying these words, Wang Changjiong felt a little thirsty, so he drank a sip of hot tea to moisten his throat and said with a smile: "The people have fields but no grain, and the merchants and wealthy people have food to expand the fields but cannot, so that the people can use their own fields to exchange for food from the merchants and wealthy people. In this way, the people in the famine have food to eat, and the merchants and wealthy people also get the fields they want day and night, and the court can not consume a grain of food. Isn't this the three wins? Isn't this the best of the three? This is the three difficulties to solve it!"

"This plan is very wonderful, hahahaha!"

Tian Fu laughed loudly, thinking that this method was simply perfect. It didn't require consuming a grain of rice and grain from the court to solve the problem of hundreds of thousands of refugees.

"Guangming has the style of ancient sages." Tian Fu praised, touching his goatee with one hand.

"The teacher praised it." Wang Changjiong quickly responded and said humbly: "The students' talents are not as good as those of the teacher."

After complimenting each other, Tian Fen asked about the relevant details again: "If a businessman takes the opportunity to bully the people, what if he takes the opportunity to lower the price of land acres?"

Wang Changjiong saw that the Prime Minister Tian Fu was still caring about the people on the surface, but in fact, the real meaning of this sentence is whether there is a lot of room for operation here, and whether the merchants and wealthy people have room for operation. If so, Tian Fu would also take the opportunity to operate and merge some land to strengthen the whole business.

"Just establish a temporary relief Cao Cao." Wang Changjiong replied lightly. He had learned a lot in Liaodong to exploit the people openly with the slogan of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and he was already familiar with it.

"What is the relief of Cao on Huaishan?" Tian Fu was puzzled again. He understood that it was the disaster-stricken Huaishan River Basin, but what was relief of Cao? It literally means an official institution specializing in disaster relief. But didn't Wang Changjiong tell him just now that he didn't need to consume a grain of rice and grain in the court? Why did he come to provide relief to Cao to provide disaster relief?

"The Prime Minister's Office takes the lead in establishing a relief for Cao Cao."

"Anyone who wants to exchange grain for the land in the hands of the victims on Huaihe River needs to report to the Prime Minister's Office in advance. Only merchants and wealthy people who have passed the approval of the Prime Minister's Office are qualified to use their own grain to exchange land in the hands of the victims. The rest of the people who use grain for the victims without authorization will be fined and severely punished!"

"In this way, only those good merchants and wealthy people can report through the Prime Minister's Office to help the victims. Those bad merchants and wealthy people will naturally be excluded from the Prime Minister's Office early, so the people will not have to worry about being bullied by the evil merchants and wealthy people."

Wang Changjiong said slowly, and a few words shocked Tian Fu.

This "relief from Cao" is so pleasing to him.

All the merchants and wealthy people who want to take the opportunity to engage in land annexation on Huai River must report to the Prime Minister's Office in advance. As for whether it is good or evil, isn't it all the things that Tian Fu said in one sentence?

Whoever is a good businessman, and whoever is a good businessman, whoever is a bad businessman, whoever is a bad businessman, whoever is a good businessman, whoever is qualified to acquire land at a low price, isn't it still a matter of his friend's look?

At that time, his relatives of Tian Fen can report through the Prime Minister's Office to "save" the victims, while other wealthy and civilian businessmen who want to be good will have to give him Tian Fen a good respect.

Thinking of the beautiful future, Tian Fu laughed happily: "It is like Emperor Gao getting Zhang Liang."

"Teacher, be careful!" Wang Changjiong kindly reminded him, if this sentence is heard by someone who is interested, it will be a big problem. After reminding him, he planned the affairs of the Wang family in his heart: Now there are disaster victims everywhere on the Huai River, and my Wang family is too far away from the Huai River, so I can't get any mergers, but it's good to take the opportunity to sell some food at a high price on the Huai River. There will be no flooding that will finally occur, but our Wang family can't get any benefits.

"Cough cough~" Tian Fu also found that he was overjoyed, so he calmed down and smiled: "I will start to provide relief to Cao now. I must save hundreds of thousands of people on Huai. This is my duty as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty!"

"The teacher loves the people so much, even the three ancient saints, Yao, Shun and Yu, will feel ashamed of themselves."

"Guangming, don't compliment me."

"The students are just saying the truth, is the truth a compliment?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"
