Eating is just to ease the atmosphere, and according to their way, even if they fight for three days and three nights, they may not be able to fight for a result. Wei Jiansu is a person with a very strong city, and his ability to stand tall and not fall is proof of this. Although he had no intention of turning over Xia Yuanji and Fifth Qi's old accounts, it did not mean that he was completely relieved of his previous suspicions. Obviously, Wei Jiansu sensed Qin Jin's intentions with his sophisticated political sense, and played the role he should play wholeheartedly.

Qin Jin looked at the three prime ministers, and only talked about eating and drinking and not about political affairs. Lamb and scones are the standard for two meals a day, and he has gradually adapted to the smell of mutton, and the smoked meat is rotten and oily, with more spices, and seasoned with coriander, it is also very delicious.

It's just that this is in the army, and you can't drink easily. Since the Tianbao period, Qin Jin took charge of the Shenwu Army at the beginning of his efforts to put an end to drinking, during which he severely punished several soldiers and generals who drank alcohol without authorization, and over time, the senior generals in the army have consciously developed the habit of not drinking.

"No alcohol is allowed in the army, tea is used instead of wine, and I salute all of you!"

After a cup of tea, everyone started to eat, Xia Yuanji was old, his appetite was average, and his teeth were not bad, so he used a silver knife to cut the mutton on the plate into small pieces of diced meat, and slowly picked it up and tasted it.

Fifth Qi is different, this prime minister is vigorous and resolute, and eating is also a style, eating meat, drinking water, rolling a whole piece of scone and eating lamb in three or two bites, Qin Jin was dumbfounded.

Qin Jin and Fifth Qi didn't have many opportunities to eat together, but today was an eye-opener, only to watch Fifth Qi eat five flatbread rolls of mutton in one go, full of a large pot of half-warm tea, and burp three times in a row.

"This meal is refreshing, I am hungry for a day, and I feel that there is nothing more comfortable in this world than a full meal!"

Wei Jiansu and Xia Yuanji didn't care about the appearance of Fifth Qi's eating, they were on official business in the political affairs hall, and it was common for them to eat in the same room, so they were naturally not surprised.

"The fifth minister is really resolute, and he can confirm his official business by eating, no wonder the efficiency of the political hall has long been different from what it used to be!"

Wei Jiansu said with a smile, which was regarded as a compliment, and there was no previous-for-tat at at all.

The fifth Qi sent the belly that had already bulged, and said helplessly:

"The officials are as slippery as oil, if I, as the prime minister, don't do it myself, I will be blinded, I will be tricked, how dare I have a moment of slackness?"

Qin Jin felt awe-inspiring in his heart, Fifth Qi's words were indeed from the bottom of his heart, although this person was not familiar with power and scheming, and he was mixed into the power dumping, but after all, he was a person who had the heart to do things, and he was not many times stronger than those who only knew how to seize power and did not care about state affairs.

Wei Jiansu was also a little moved by the words of the fifth Qi, he has been in the center for many years, of course he knows the faces of those officials, but this is a hundred years of accumulation, and non-human beings can eradicate it overnight.

"The fifth minister's father-in-law has a heart for state affairs, and he deserves to be a big deal, but unfortunately there is no wine here, so the old man is like Dr. Qin, replacing wine with tea!"

At this point, the fifth Qi was sitting in a precarious position, holding the teacup in both hands, and drank solemnly with Wei Jiansu......

After the tea and dinner, Xia Yuanji took the lead in saying goodbye because of old age and frailty, coupled with the initial recovery from a serious illness, and the fifth Qi was worried about the shelved business in the political hall, and left in a hurry. Wei Jiansu didn't leave slowly, drinking tea unhurriedly, he ate a lot of meat and cakes just now, and still didn't burp a few times.

Qin Jin knew that he must have something to say, so he was not in a hurry, so he waited peacefully, waiting for him to say what he wanted to say today.

When the two were silent, the military officer cautiously walked in.

"Jing Zhao Yin asks to see you!"

Wei Jiansu is a very discerning person, knowing that now is not the time to negotiate, so he decisively got up and said goodbye. However, Qin Jin still had nothing to say and didn't want to stay overnight.

"Wei Xianggong doesn't have to go, Yan Dayin is here, and what he said is also a state affair, since it is a state affair, why should the prime minister avoid it?"

Seeing Qin Jin say this, Wei Jiansu stayed, but his expression was a little unnatural. He was a cautious man, and he was never interested in things he shouldn't know, because the more he knew, the greater the chance of causing trouble. And Yan Zhuang is Qin Jin's henchman, because he doesn't want to be too deep into these unfathomable whirlpools. The so-called self-preservation is the way to establish oneself for a long time.

After a while, Yan Zhuang came in a hurry, and he was not surprised to see Wei Jiansu here, because Wei Jiansu's carriage and horses and servants were just outside the gate. Yan Zhuang naturally knew his carriage and horses, so he solemnly waved at Wei Jiansu. Wei Jiansu also got up and bowed back.

With Wei Jiansu's status and status, there is no need for this, but he has been cautious and humble for many years, even if he treats people with lower status than himself, people with less qualifications will not lose their manners.

Wei Jiansu has been in the officialdom for many years, and the lowest point is nothing more than the years after the Qin and Jin Dynasty launched the mutiny. Today, the father and son of the Wei family have become important ministers in the court, and the status of the family is even more than it used to be. However, he was accustomed to being prepared for danger in times of peace, and from the beginning he felt that it was not a good thing to be too ostentatious.

"What's the matter with Da Yin?"

Yan Zhuang is also a person with an average personality, seeing that Qin Jin left Wei Jiansu behind, he weighed it and felt that there was no need to avoid Wei Jiansu in this matter, so he said:

"The subordinates heard some rumors that Hebei had a catastrophe this year, and the thieves and rebels did not have enough food to feed the people, so they wanted to resort to a plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf!"

"Driving tigers and devouring wolves?"

Qin Jin was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood.

"Could it be that the thieves plan to drive the affected people south of the Yellow River?"

"Exactly!"

This time, not only Qin Jin was stunned, but even Wei Jiansu felt like he was crumbling. While in previous years the Yellow River was a natural barrier to the vast majority of displaced people, this year the situation is very different, with the Yellow River breaking off in many places, and the affected displaced people can easily reach the south of the Yellow River by walking across the Yellow River.

"The thief's poisonous strategy! Doctor, doctor, the court must make a plan early!"

Wei Jiansu was no longer reserved, but anxiously suggested that Qin Jin should hurry up and take precautions, once a large number of displaced people entered Dugi Province, food problems and public security problems would become headaches. In contrast, the food problem and the possible unrest caused by displaced people are no longer worth mentioning.

Qin Jin was also at a loss, and couldn't think of a suitable way to deal with it for a long time.

He really didn't expect that the choice between watching from the wall and giving food relief had now evolved into no choice, and if the conspiracy of the Shi Thief rebels succeeded, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Does Wei Xianggong have any suggestions?"

Wei Jiansu rarely took the initiative to suggest, but he still said in a hurry:

"In the old man's opinion, there are three strategies!"

"Please tell me in detail!"

"The best policy, accept the displaced people, release grain at the beginning, choose a place to resettle, and don't make a civil unrest, although the short-term cost is huge, but in the long run, it is to win the hearts of the people and millions of people!"

Qin Jin nodded and asked:

"So what's the middle point?"

"In the middle of the policy, send troops to block the displaced people on the north bank of the Yellow River, and kill one person after one person, and ten people kill ten people. In this way, the displaced people will no longer dare to venture across the river!"

Qin Jin shook his head, the so-called middle strategy is tantamount to slapping himself in the face, in the short term, he can save some food, and he doesn't have to worry about civil unrest, but in the long run, it will inevitably make the people of Hebei hate the imperial court, and even more alienated from the imperial court, which is not conducive to the future imperial court to recover Hebei.

Therefore, Qin Jin no longer had to listen to Wei Jiansu's so-called next policy, but how easy was it to accept the millions of displaced people in Hebei in its entirety? For a while, his mood turned bad. Yan Zhuang, who had brought this bad news, had not yet expressed his opinion on this matter, and Qin Jin looked at him and asked with his eyes.

After all, Yan Zhuang was the prime minister in An Lushan's puppet Yan court, and he must have a lot of connections. That's why he was the first to get the news. However, the connection with the former traitors is a very suspicious issue. Thus, he immediately explained:

"The former subordinates of the subordinate deliberately abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and specially sent someone to bring a letter, in addition to detailing the internal situation of some historical thieves and rebels, the focus is on the expulsion of the displaced people, I am afraid that there will be action in this ten months, and the doctor must make a decision as soon as possible!"

While speaking, Yan Zhuang saw Qin Jin's eyebrows locked, and seemed to be upset, so he said:

"The subordinate has a suggestion, I don't know if I should say it or not!"

"Speak, but it doesn't hurt to speak!"

In fact, Yan Zhuang originally wanted to make a suggestion, but he just needed a suitable opportunity, and now he saw that Qin Jin and Wei Jiansu were at a loss, so he felt that it was time to go out on his own.

"The historical thief rebels have a plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, why don't the court drive the wolf to the tiger's mouth, so that it will not suffer from the pond fish!"

"Tell me more!"

Qin Jin saw the confidence on Yan Zhuang's face, and knew that this guy was already in his chest before he came. He knew that Yan Zhuang was a person who was good at using tricks, and if this person was willing to use his brains, he might be able to come up with some amazing schemes.

"This matter is simple and simple, difficult to do, the key is to have a competent candidate to execute!"

At this time, Wei Jiansu also urged:

"Yan Dayin, don't sell Guanzi, hurry up and say it......"

Yan Zhuang coughed dryly and said seriously:

"Hebei famine, the defense of the thieves on the north bank of the Yellow River has been useless, the imperial court can choose to send capable officials to the Son of Heaven Fu Jie, bring grain to Hebei to relieve the disaster, set up private enterprises everywhere, recruit people as militia to protect themselves. As long as the plan goes well, the news of the imperial court's disaster relief will spread all over Hebei, and the people who have no food to eat will inevitably turn their hearts to the imperial court.
