Back to Hanzhong County.

After Wang Kai handled government affairs in Hanzhong County for several months, his accumulated political achievements finally exceeded 100.

At this time, Wang Kai did not immediately summon Wenchen out, because he wanted to summon Fang Qiao after accumulating some more military merits, after all, his current civil official strength was still slightly weak, except for a Yan Pu, there was no civil official in his hands.

Because he still has almost military merits, Wang Kai has also been paying attention to the situation around Hanzhong County so that he can make the next move.

In the first year of Xingping, the time for Wang Kai to wait for the troops has not appeared, because Yizhou and Jingzhou are relatively stable, and Wang Kai's strength is not enough to compete with Liu Yan of Yizhou and Liu Biao of Jingzhou.

Although Wang Kai couldn't wait for the time to send troops, he waited for an opportunity to enhance his strength.

It was also in the first year of Xingping that there was a severe drought in the Sanfu area, and the price of grain increased sharply, and the people in Chang'an City were all eaten.

When he learned of the drought in the Sanfu area, Wang Kai immediately ordered someone to summon Qin Qiong back after a little pondering in his heart.

As Qin Qiong rushed to Nanzheng County, Wang Kai immediately summoned Qin Qiong and said to him: "Shubao, I recently got the news that there is a great drought in the Sanfu area, and we can set up a disaster relief point in Anyang County to attract displaced people, and you can quickly bring 10,000 stone of grain to Anyang County to arrange it." ”

After hearing this, Qin Qiong agreed without hesitation, because Wang Kai's move was very conducive to their development, and in the troubled times, the population is very important, and there is a future for talents.

Qin Qiong, who was ordered to leave, quickly collected 10,000 stone of grain, and then drove it to Anyang County.

When Qin Qiong left, Wang Kai thought about it and felt that only one point in Anyang County might not be enough, so he immediately went out in person to pull 10,000 stone of grain from Nanzheng County to Tin County.

At this time, because of the great drought in the Sanfu area, many people had no way to live, in order to survive, some people began to go to Hanzhong County, because Hanzhong County is a famous granary, and Hanzhong County is the closest to the Sanfu area.

After Liu Xie, the second son, learned that the people in the Sanfu area were cannibalistic and far from their hometowns, he deeply felt that it was not easy for the people to survive, and then sent Shi Houwen, the servant, to open Taicang to release grain for disaster relief.

After the servant Shi Houwen got Liu Xie's imperial order, he immediately opened a warehouse to release grain, but in order to fill his own pocket, he secretly withheld the grain in Taicang, and affected by this, the victims could not get enough food at all, and the disaster in the Sanfu area could not be alleviated.

At the same time, after Wang Kai and Qin Qiong set up disaster relief points in Tin County and Anyang County respectively, the victims who fled from the Sanfu area immediately settled down in Hanzhong County, and because Wang Kai's disaster relief was more affordable, after the victims spread ten, ten to hundred, most of the people in the Sanfu area knew that Hanzhong County could solve the problem of food and clothing, and soon, there was a wave of migration to Hanzhong in the Sanfu area.

Knowing that the people in the Sanfu area had moved to Hanzhong, Li Dao and Guo Yan couldn't sit still, because if there was no one in the Sanfu area, then where would their taxes be collected.

Nervous, Li Dao and Guo Yan began to completely block the road from the Sanfu area to Hanzhong.

Subsequently, Li Dao and Guo Yan also entered the court to report the situation in the Sanfu area to Liu Xie.

When Liu Xie learned that the people in the Sanfu area were still starving to death, he immediately sent someone to find the servant Shi Houwen.

After Hou Wen saw Liu Xie, he hurriedly made a big salute and said, "Hou Wen, the minister, meet Your Majesty!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Xie asked very unconcernedly: "Hou Wen, I came to ask you, I asked you to open a warehouse for disaster relief, why are the people in the Sanfu area still starving to death, so that the people have lost confidence in the imperial court and began to move to Hanzhong County." ”

Hou Wen replied calmly when he heard this: "Your Majesty, this year's disaster is really serious, and there is not enough food in Taicang!" ”

Liu Xie immediately became suspicious when he heard this, because the grain in Taicang can definitely be used to alleviate the disaster.

Liu Xie, who was suspicious, immediately ordered someone to bring five liters of rice and five liters of beans, and boiled porridge in front of Hou Wen.

After seeing this situation, Hou Wen, who had a ghost in his heart, trembled nervously.

In the end, Liu Xie's experiment fully proved that Hou Wen was full of private pockets.

So, Liu Xie immediately ordered Hou Wencane to be punished fifty.

But at this time, Li Dao stopped Liu Xie, he drew his sword and walked towards Hou Wen.

Seeing Li Dao walking towards him step by step with a long sword, Hou Wen was suddenly frightened and hurriedly begged for mercy: "General Li spare his life!" Xia Guan didn't dare anymore. ”

Hearing Hou Wen's plea for mercy, Li Dao ignored it at all.

Seeing that pleading with Li Wei did not work, Hou Wen directly begged Liu Xie for intercession.

When Liu Xie saw Hou Wen pleading with him, he didn't pay attention to it, because Hou Wen's sin of causing the people to be displaced was too great.

Just when Hou Wen had just finished pleading with Liu Xie, Li Wei raised his sword and killed Hou Wen.

Seeing Hou Wen's head fall to the ground, Liu Xieqiang looked at Li Dao with vomiting.

At this time, Li Dao said to Liu Xiejin: "Your Majesty, these corrupt officials still have to be rectified, if Hou Wen is allowed to continue like this, I am afraid that Chang'an will only have an empty city left." ”

"Thank you General Li for reminding me, I remembered!"

Subsequently, Li Wei ordered someone to clean up Hou Wen's body before leaving the palace with Guo Yan.

After seeing Li Dao and Guo Yan leave, Liu Xie became sad again, after all, the days under the fence were really too difficult.

Because Li Wei killed Hou Wen in time, the disaster relief began to slowly get on the right track.

When the people in the Sanfu area learned that Chang'an City also had food to eat, most of the people still stayed, after all, people in ancient times had a strong concept of home.

With most of the people no longer moving, Li Dao and Guo Yan also opened the road to Hanzhong again.

After the road was opened, a small number of people were tired of life in the Sanfu area and moved to Hanzhong County.

After about a month of migration, Wang Kai successfully received tens of thousands of people from the Sanfu area in Hanzhong County, with a total of about 50,000 people.

In the following time, because of the remarkable effect of Chang'an's disaster relief, Hanzhong County began to stop seeing a large number of migrants.

Seeing this situation, Wang Kai understood that there would be no new flashpoints, and after that, Wang Kai sent an order to start disbanding the disaster relief sites.

After successfully absorbing nearly 50,000 or so displaced people, Wang Kai extensively settled these displaced people in Hanzhong County.

At the same time, calm was restored in the Sanfu region again, but there was a big battle in Liangzhou.

After Ma Teng and Han Sui had a long period of foreshadowing, the two of them had a decisive battle in Didao.

In the end, Ma Teng used his Qiang brother to successfully defeat Han Sui's army.

Although Ma Teng won Lian, it was also a pyrrhic victory.

Since then, Ma Teng and Han Sui have formed a situation of confrontation in Liangzhou.
