"See the Prime Minister."

Wang Shaoqun bowed and bowed.

Li Xun nodded, waved his hand and said, "Sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

Wang Shaoqun sat down aside and asked in a low voice: "The Prime Minister summoned Bei Yi to come, I don't know what's going on?"

"The situation in Henan is not optimistic. What do you think?"

Li Xun did not go straight to the topic, but turned the topic to Henan.

Wang Shaoqun pondered for a moment, then said: "Mr. Prime Minister, I am humble to think that the problem in Henan is actually not too serious. As long as the court can timely distribute food to disaster relief and stabilize people's hearts, and the people have a way out, they will not be easily bewitched by others, and the scale of the riot will not expand."

Li Xun nodded. It seemed that Wang Shaoqun could see the root of the situation very clearly.

"Wang Shaoqun, I have suggested to the emperor to borrow grain from grain merchants and large households in Fengjing City, and then urgently transport it to Henan for disaster relief."

Wang Shaoqun said: "Businessmen value profit over righteousness, and they may not lend food easily."

Fengjing was the political and economic center of the Jin Dynasty. More than half of the big families and merchants in the world were here. If they were willing to lend food for three to five million, it would be a very easy thing. I am afraid that they would not want to do it. After all, most people would not be willing to do it by doing business, paying money and delivering goods on one hand, and using credit.

Li Xun said: "The emperor has already stated that he will issue an edict to clarify this matter. With the court as a guarantee, those big merchants and big families will definitely agree to borrow food. After all, no one wants to be unable to get along with money."

In the Western Regions, a large amount of money will be transported back almost every one or two months. The last Western Regions tax was shipped back to Fengjing, and a month has passed. The next Western Regions tax was only about a month at most, and it will be transported to Fengjing again. At that time, the court will have money and the current emperor personally guaranteed it. It is almost a business that is stable and profitable. Who wouldn't want to do it?

Hearing Li Xun say this, Wang Shaoqun smiled and said, "In this way, things will be much easier."

Li Xun said: "The court is preparing to send an official to Henan Road to fully preside over the disaster relief work. If you are asked to go, how will you carry out your work?"

After hearing Li Xun's words, Wang Shaoqun was slightly stunned at first, then bit his lips hard, trying to keep his expression calm and calm, but from his eyes, Li Xun could clearly see the strong excitement.

Wang Shaoqun is the head of the Ministry of War in charge of personnel files. He has a seventh-rank position. With his background, if there is no accident, he will be like this in his life. It is difficult to make any progress. The best result is to let the local government be a county magistrate and have some chance of making money to support his old age.

But now, Li Xun has given a huge opportunity. Wang Shaoqun is very clear that if he goes to Henan Road this time, if he does things well, his official position will definitely be improved after he comes back. And most importantly, this will become one of his major political achievements. If a person from a poor background wants to get along in the officialdom, he will never make any difference without political achievements and qualifications.

Wang Shaoqun pondered for a while before saying to Li Xun: "The disaster on Henan Road has actually been intermittent since the previous year. It has been intermittent and has been in the present. Natural disasters are part and man-made disasters are also part. If these two points are moved away, the disaster on Henan Road will not be eradicated. Moreover, with the current financial resources of the court, it is impossible to provide disaster relief for a long time and a large-scale area. Therefore, the officials feel that all food should be concentrated and relief to the few prefectures and counties with the most serious conditions in Henan Road. This will not only allow the people to see the relief efforts of the court, but also let them feel the attitude of the court. In this way, people will be at peace and the things that follow will take their time."

After hearing this, Li Xun pondered that Wang Shaoqun's suggestion was very good. It was like a marching and fighting. You must first distinguish priorities. If you take too much steps, you will not do anything. It is better to concentrate all the limited materials and focus on areas with the most serious conditions. Although this approach will still lead to many people who die because of this, it can at least stabilize people's hearts and allow the people to see the faint hope, so that they will not completely lose their minds in despair and do those irreversible things.

After a while, Li Xun was not seen speaking. Wang Shaoqun said cautiously: "The incident happened suddenly, and I was unable to give a detailed plan. I have any omissions. Please forgive me if you have any omissions."

Li Xun came to his senses, looked at Wang Shaoqun, and smiled and said, "The detailed plan, after you go back, you slowly think about it. I came to you today, but I actually want to tell you that I plan to recommend you to preside over the overall work in the disaster relief in Henan this time."

Li Xun's words confirmed Wang Shaoqun's guess. Li Xun was indeed ready to let himself go to Henan Road to preside over the disaster relief matter.

Wang Shaoqun stood up and bowed, and said excitedly: "Thank you for your kindness from the Prime Minister. Wang Shaoqun is very grateful. He will definitely be in front of the saddle and will never refuse to die."

Li Xun shook his head: "I don't want your saddle and horseback and death. The reason I use you is because you think that with your intelligence and talent, you can do this well. If you want to repay me, you can do your best to deal with disaster relief matters and try to die as much as possible."

Wang Shaoqun said solemnly: "Prime Minister, please rest assured, Wang Shaoqun will definitely live up to your expectations."

After Wang Shaoqun left, Li Xun left the room, and Xue Chengsong came over with Hu Zi.

"Hello Uncle Li."

Hu Zi spoke and called.

Li Xun asked, "How are you reading books?"

Hu Zi touched his head: "I'm too stupid. I can't remember what Master Xue taught me."

Li Xun smiled and said, "If you can't remember, then do it a few more times until you remember it."

Hu Zi nodded, indicating that he could study hard.

"Chenghu, go to the room to study. You must remember what you teach you today and recite it to me tomorrow. If you can't recite it, you are not allowed to eat."

Xue Chengsong said seriously, Li Xun asked him to teach Hu Zi, if you have a word first, teach strictly, whether to beat or scold, Xue Chengsong will do it himself, and you will never interfere, but if you don’t teach well, then get out of here.

"Yes, Master Xue."

Hu Zi bent over to Xue Chengsong and Li Xun one after another, and then left with the book.

Huzi is an orphan and has never had a name. Li Xun asked him to follow his surname, name Li Chenghu, and asked Xue Chengsong to teach him how to read, read, practice military skills, and martial arts. Jiang Daxiong, Hua Shaosheng, Chen De and others are all masters. Anyone can teach them very well. However, Li Chenghu likes to be with Jiang Daxiong the most, and also likes his big and open-minded style, simple and domineering.
