Chapter 158: The Big Backer

The prefect Wei Wende finally looked forward to the good news. -- The emperor issued an order that the Xuanzhou Mansion should open a warehouse to release grain and provide relief to the victims.

After several days of heavy rain and floods, Xuanzhou Mansion is not a big problem, because Xuanzhou is located at a high place, and although the Qingshui River flowing outside the city is also soaring, it is not enough to threaten the safety of Xuanzhou City. However, most of the counties under the jurisdiction of Xuanzhou City were affected by flooding. One of the most serious is Pinghu County, where a large amount of farmland has been flooded and thousands of people have been displaced and homeless, which is the biggest headache for him.

And now it's time for the green and yellow. Last year's grain stock was almost exhausted, but this year's harvest was not harvested and was washed away by the flood, so that there will be no harvest in the coming year, and the people will have no food to feed their families. How to help the victims is something that he, the prefect, must consider.

Moreover, the most headache for him is that most of the fertile land in Xuanzhou Mansion was washed away in this flood, and the flood washed away the fertile soil of the fertile land, leaving a large amount of barren sediment. In the past few years, how to survive the people who have lost their fertile land is a key issue for the prefect to consider.

Although Wuyue is located in the land of fish and rice, and the people are relatively wealthy, it is only relatively speaking, in the face of the catastrophe, these Wuyue people, who are richer than other places, will also fall into poverty after this catastrophe.

Wu Yueguo's new return to the Great Song Dynasty, if it is not to take practical measures to appease the people, it is particularly easy to provoke a popular uprising, which is the most feared by the Great Song Dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially at the moment when the main forces deal with the Northern Han and Khitan, but can not start a fire in the backyard.

Based on these considerations, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty still allocated a part of the tight military rations to help the victims.

In these days, a large number of disaster victims have heard the news that the imperial court is coming for disaster relief, and they have flocked to the streets and alleys of Xuanzhou City, waiting to receive food.

The carriages that helped the imperial court escort grain came to Xuanzhou City in a steady stream under the escort of the army, and the people braved the rain to welcome them, and they were so excited that they burst into tears.

Wei Wende led the yamen officials of the prefecture and county yamen out of the city to greet the eunuchs who would deliver the edict and the officials and soldiers who would escort the relief grain. This eunuch's surname is Huang, he looks like he is fifty or sixty years old, his face is white, slightly rich, and his smile is cute.

The prefect of Wei Wende welcomed Gonggong Huang and the commanders of the officers and soldiers who escorted the grain to the yamen of the prefect in the city.

Huang Gonggong read out the holy decree of the Great Song Emperor for disaster relief, and the prefect Wei Wende received the holy decree and arranged disaster relief. Wei Wende had already received the news before, so he had already made arrangements, and at present, his subordinate household secretary in charge of Qiangu would handle the registration of the victims of the disaster, distribute food and other specific reasons.

And the prefect Wei Wende was responsible for entertaining the Huang Gonggong who was favored by the Great Song Emperor who came all the way. Set up a banquet in Xuanzhou Restaurant.

Because in the end, it is not suitable for too much luxury and publicity, so this kind of banquet dishes are very exquisite, but the scene is not big, and there are not many participants.

On top of the banquet, when he was slightly drunk, Huang Gonggong smiled and said to Wei Wende: "I heard that there is a pharmacy in Xuanzhou City called Huichun Hall, and there is a young man who can disembowel people and cure diseases, but is there such a thing?"

Wei Wende twisted his beard, thinking about how to answer, Dr. Zhang, who was sitting in the medical hospital where he started, was anxious to pat his ass, and he was also drunk, so he didn't pay attention to Huang Gonggong's expression when he said this, and waved his hand loudly and said: "Father-in-law doesn't know, this little man just knows some tricks and tricks, pretending to be a ghost and deceiving people, and he won't disembowel his stomach at all, and the medical skills of his father and son are very tight." ”

Gonggong Huang's eyebrows furrowed, his eyes glanced at Dr. Zhang, and he said lightly, "Oh?

After all, the prefect Wei Wende has been in officialdom for a long time, and finally heard that Huang Gonggong's voice seemed to have another connotation, and hurriedly said tentatively: "There is such a statement, and I don't know if it's true or not." ”

Gonggong Huang burped, leaned into Wei Wende's ear and lowered his voice: "Lord Luduanlu of Hubu Langzhong learned that I was coming to Xuanzhou to spread the decree and open a warehouse to release grain for disaster relief, so he specially came to the door and asked me to bring some things to Yang Xianmao, the little Langzhong of the Rejuvenation Hall of your mansion. Hey, hey, hey."

His words were very light, and only Governor Wei heard it, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. Huang Gonggong's words clearly told him that there is a big backer behind this little Langzhong, that is, Lu Duan of the Beijing Hubu Langzhong.

Although he is the prefect of Quanzhou, from the fifth grade, and Lu Duan's Hubu Langzhong is only the sixth grade, Wei Wende is one level higher, but Wei Wende has been in the officialdom for a long time, but he knows that this Lu Duan is deeply favored by the emperor, a few days ago, he was ordered to pay a private visit to inspect the public conditions of Wu Yueguo and the performance of officials, and go back to report directly to the emperor. Therefore, although Lu Duan's official position is now below him, he cannot guarantee that one day he will surpass him and be above him.

What's more, the reason why Wei Wende himself wanted to attack and suppress the Yang family of the Huichun Hall was just a momentary anger at that time, and he used this incident to make a prestige, establish his own prestige, and at the same time understand the implementation of his orders by local officials and make a preliminary understanding. It's not that there is any incomprehensible grudge with the other party. And it's been a month since this incident, and the original anger has long since disappeared, and now that he thinks about it, he is a little too childish, and now that he knows that this Yang Xianmao actually got acquainted with Tobe Langzhong Lu Duan, he immediately reweighed this matter in his heart.

Of course, it is impossible for him to offend Lu Duan, who is in an important position and is favored by the emperor, and he must quickly save the situation before Lu Duan knows about his suppression of Yang Xianmao in Xiaolang.

Huang Gonggong saw Wei Wende's face change slightly, and he knew that there must be something strange in it, of course he knew that Lu Duan was deeply valued by the emperor, and he must do this matter beautifully, and it was easy to explain it to Lu Duan, but he couldn't say it too directly, otherwise Wei Wende would not be able to get over his face.

At that moment, Huang Gonggong coughed and said in a sharp voice: "Xuanzhou suffered a flood disaster that is rare in a century this time, and the people suffered heavy losses, and the prefect repeatedly wrote to the emperor, in fact, to be honest, there is more than one place in Xuanzhou that has suffered similar floods across the country this year, and some places are even more powerful than this, but the emperor still issued an order to open a warehouse for Xuanzhou to release grain for disaster relief, which is mainly due to the credit of Wei Zhifu." ”

Gonggong Huang gently praised him for a few words, and Governor Wei's face suddenly returned to normal, and he patted his bulging belly with a little pride, and said with a smile: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, when I first arrived in Xuanzhou, I encountered this catastrophe, and I saw that the people were displaced and left their hometowns, and I was really anxious in my heart. The lower officials have no credit at all, and it is all the emperor's favor. ”

Gonggong Huang nodded and said: "Xuanzhou opened a warehouse to release grain for disaster relief, in addition to Lord Wei several times, Lord Lu Duan Lu did a lot of mediation in it. Although there was no flood disaster when Lord Lu came, he learned that after the flood disaster occurred in Xuanzhou, he asked the emperor for disaster relief several times, and said a lot of good things for the people of Xuanzhou. Lord Prefect, you know, Lord Lu is one of the emperor's most trusted ministers, and this time Weifu's private visit to the entire Wu Yue was personally undertaken by Lord Lu, so his story about Wu Yue was naturally highly valued by the emperor. Speaking of which, this disaster relief also benefited from our Lord Lu's words from the United States. ”

Huang Gonggong's words were naturally extraordinary, and all the officials present nodded frequently, and they couldn't stop admiring.

When Wei Wende heard this, he tasted the deeper meaning. Of course, he knew that Huang Gonggong had been in the palace for a long time, and he was all human spirits, very shrewd, and obviously had already seen what problems might exist between himself and Yang Xianmao, and he used the disaster relief incident to allocate himself without a trace, and he should attach great importance to the feelings of Lu Duan in the household department, and Lu Duan could go all the way to entrust the eunuch to send gifts to Yang Xianmao in Xiaolang, which shows that he attaches great importance to Yang Xianmao.

Wei Wende immediately smiled and said: "Lord Lu really thinks highly of the people of Xuanzhou, and loves three points, as my father-in-law said just now, I have outstanding people in Xuanzhou, and there are many characters, including young talents, although they are young, they dare to be the first, others dare not do it, he dares to try to do it, and he dares to use the treatment method that others dare not use, which is the most precious for a doctor." Xia Guan has always believed that as a doctor, you must dare to try. I hate some people who are not afraid to innovate and rest on their laurels. Today's emperor attaches so much importance to the way of medicine, that is, he needs people who dare to innovate, especially young people with this spirit!"

Hearing his words, everyone nodded frequently, and some of them were already sensitively aware of what the prefect was saying. But they didn't hear what Huang Gonggong whispered to Wei Wende just now, so they didn't think of Yang Xianmao.

Huang Gonggong naturally heard the intention of Wei Wende's words, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. For example, I heard that the ancients treated people by roasting stones on the fire, applying them to the acupoints, and they had not yet picked herbs to boil and drink. Later, Shennong tasted a hundred herbs before he had a decoction, and then, Zhang Zhongjing, Hua Tuo, Bian Que, these miracle doctors, created one exquisite prescription after another, and only then did we advance our medical skills to the current state. Therefore, at the beginning of its creation, everything is new and even unacceptable to others. However, if these methods of healing do have a suitable place, they will naturally be handed down, so why should we deliberately prevent them? It's like Yang Xianmao in the little lang of your mansion, his disemboweling and belly-breaking medical skills are indeed incredible, but ......"

Someone in the audience suddenly shouted loudly: "Yang Xianmao pretends to be a god and deceives the world and steals his name! The prefect has already seen through his conspiracy, and it is impossible for him to succeed ......!"

Everyone turned their heads in horror to look, but it was Dr. Zhang, who was already drunk.
