After the banquet, Xu Kang and Cai Yong finally found a chance to be alone.

Xu Kang smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher, you are so generous. You took away all my remaining 150,000 dans of grain with just one mouthful."

Cai Yong glared at Xu Kang and said, "Don't be so naughty here. Do you think you can keep these grains? Now if I bring them up, I can give you a credit. If Dong Taishi sends an army, I'm afraid

You just got through it in vain. And I don’t believe you will be so honest. Please tell me how much grain and rice you have left."

Xu Kang naturally understood that what Cai Yong said was true, so he laughed and said: "The teacher understands me. I really dare not hide it from the teacher. I still have 200,000 dans of grain and rice."

Cai Yong squinted his eyes and said, "Really?"

Xu Kang lowered his head and sighed: "Okay, there are still 300,000 Dan, that's all."

Cai Yong was surprised: "After hundreds of thousands of disaster victims, how many months can they still have so much left?"

Xu Kang said proudly: "This shows that my disciple is good at dealing with disasters."

"Don't be complacent. Now that it has been revealed that you secretly hid a million pounds of grain, the court is quarreling fiercely about it. Many ministers say that you have ulterior motives and are trying to buy people's hearts. In fact, you want to do something wrong. But among the people,

My evaluation of you is quite good

Unanimous, all praise for you. Many people even say that you are the reincarnation of a god, who knew in advance that a major disaster was about to happen in the world, so when you were in Luoyang, you did not hesitate to bear the reputation of being "greedy for money" and hoarded food in every possible way, just to be able to survive when the disaster struck.

Help the people."

Xu Kang was dumbfounded and said: "Is there such a statement?"

Cai Yong was suspicious: "Didn't you send someone to do it?"

Xu Kang immediately retorted righteously: "Of course not, these grains were donated by me. If I want the world to know, I can just announce it openly. Why bother?"

Cai Yong nodded, agreeing with his statement.

Of course, the opposite is true. These things were indeed completed under the control of Xu Kang. From the beginning, Xu Kang understood that one million loads of grain was not a small amount. There were too many people to handle during transportation, and it would be easy to be investigated.

There are clues. Instead of waiting for others to find out about him and label him as having evil intentions, it is better to expose the matter in advance.

However, if he said it so easily, it would not achieve the effect that Xu Kang wanted to be known to the whole world, so gossip became another option for him, especially when it was mixed with some mythological elements, it would be more attractive to ordinary citizens.

interested.

With the Wuxiong Gang's nearly 10,000 members quietly spreading the news, the news swept through the entire city of Chang'an instantly like a plague, followed closely by Yongzhou and Liangzhou. Moreover, Xu Kang believed that it wouldn't take long for him to become a "good person"

His name will spread throughout the world.

In the next few days, Xu Kang showed these members of the mission the grand scene of "ten thousand people defecating".

The thing is, Pingcheng gathered 500,000 disaster victims in a short period of time, creating a large amount of excrement. Xu Kang organized specialized personnel to clean up. After several months of accumulation, the cleaned excrement has become

A large "sea of ​​excrement".

When the weather is cold, these "oceans" accumulated outside Pingcheng are no inconvenience, but as the weather warms up, various odors begin to ripple.

In order to improve the living environment in Pingcheng, Xu Kang had no choice but to come up with the bad idea of ​​"ten thousand people pooping".

Of course, these excrements are not thrown away.

Due to the deforestation of large areas of forest, Xu Kang has used the hundreds of thousands of disaster victims to plow the land in Pingcheng again, and the new cultivated land obtained is dozens of times the original amount. Now these sediments can be used as the best

Fertilizer is used to improve the soil quality in Pingcheng, truly utilizing waste.

Xu Kang finally finished explaining all this, but when he saw that the ministers in the imperial court had disinterested expressions on their faces, he had to add: "Haven't you sirs always wanted to know the secret to the success of Pingcheng's disaster relief? The answer is actually here.

It is because we are good at using every resource in our hands, even things abandoned by others, that we can miraculously survive the 500,000 disaster victims."

However, whether these court officials understood the meaning of Xu Kang's words has become an unsolved mystery, because a few days later, due to their repeated requests, Cai Yong had to decide to leave in advance because he was not used to the hard life in Pingcheng.

Return to Chang'an.

The departure of these imperial envoys did not take away much of Xu Kang's worries. The most important issue before him was still how to divert the 500,000 victims.

In fact, as far as Xu Kang personally is concerned, he really wants to keep these people. Because in this era of upcoming chaos, whoever has a larger population will be more powerful.

Moreover, the current amount of cultivated land in Pingcheng can fully support the 500,000 disaster victims. Although life will be somewhat difficult, as long as the people in power share the joys and sorrows with the people, Pingcheng will definitely become the largest city in Yongzhou in a short time, and its status will be directly

Chasing Chang'an.

It's a pity that the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. For Dong Zhuo, he would never allow such a powerful force to appear near Chang'an, and this force was not within his control.

So once this happens, it can be foreseen that Dong Zhuo will do his best to nip this force in the bud.

In order to avoid this tragedy, Xu Kang had to send away more than 300,000 victims in accordance with the wishes of the court, leaving only less than 200,000 people, so that they could not pose a threat to Dong Zhuo.

The only thing that comforted Xu Kang was that most of the 20,000 security guards he temporarily formed to maintain law and order for the victims chose to stay, becoming the basis for Xu Kang's survival in troubled times.

In Chang'an City, just when Dong Zhuo and most of the court officials turned their attention to the resettlement of Pingcheng victims, the young Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty recruited Liu He, the son of Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, into the palace.

During the war between the princes against Dong, Liu Yu categorically refused Yuan Shao and Han Fu's request to support him as emperor, and declared to the world that he respects Liu Xie's imperial status. This not only won the unanimous praise of the court ministers, but also made Liu Xie full of favor for him.

.

Now that Dong Zhuo has gained power and Yuan Shao, the leader of the Shandong princes alliance, does not recognize his status as emperor, Liu Xie wants to ask for help from foreign countries, and the first person he thinks of is his elder.

Liu He knelt down in front of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and said with excitement: "I will live up to your majesty's trust. When I return to Youzhou this time, I will ask my father to send troops to Chang'an and take your majesty back to Luoyang."

Liu Xie helped him up and said emotionally: "Brother, there are many dangers here. The fate of the Han Dynasty will be in my hands."

After Liu He left the palace, he successfully escaped from Chang'an under the cover of a group of royalist officials. However, regardless of the Bai Bo army in the north, Yuan Shao in the northeast, or Sun Jian in the east, they were all Dong Zhuo's mortal enemies, so these directions

Liangzhou was heavily fortified on both sides.
