"PS: Please vote a lot during the new book period, thank you very much."

Wang Dan, who looked a little fat, finally gave in, only to see him raise his hand and wipe his frightened face with his sleeve, like mourning.

“…… Okay, I, Ruyang County, sent people to Guixian County to assist in the relief work, and as for the daily salary of these people, ......"

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Wei, the commander of Luyang County, with a smile: "...... Of course, it's also your county, right, Prince? ”

"......" Wang Xian Ling looked at Liu Wei again and again, his slightly thick lips trembled, and finally an extremely ugly smile appeared on his face.

In the hateful gaze of this Wang County Commander, Liu Wei and the Marquis of Luyang took Zhao Yu and Jingnu to reject the former's invitation to dinner, and left the county government of Ruyang County in a happy mood.

After walking out of the county office, Liu Wei smiled and said to the Luyang Township Marquis: "I'm afraid I have offended this Wang Fengzhong fiercely this time." ”

The Wang Fengzhong in his mouth refers to the Wang Dan and Wang County Order, and Fengzhong is his expression.

Hearing this, the Luyang townsman couldn't help but ask: "I heard that this person has a lot of help behind him?" ”

"Ahh Liu Wei nodded a little melancholy: "He often claims to be the protégé of Wang Taishi, and he is really a friend of the public......

The townsman of Luyang was stunned when he heard it, although he was often in Luyang County, and he didn't know as much about the big people in the temple as this Liu Wei and Liu County Order, but that Wang Taishi, no matter how he listened, he knew that he was by no means an ordinary person, and he suddenly realized why Liu Wei took the initiative to be that "wicked person".

"Liu Gong ......"

As if he had guessed the thoughts of the Luyang townsman, Liu Wei smiled and waved his hand and said: "The townsman doesn't need to worry about Liu, Liu Mou thought about it before he came, even if the county order is not appropriate, he must completely solve the problem of refugees...... Anyway, many refugees in my Luyang County have died violently so far, and if this matter is known by the imperial court, it is inevitable that they will be dismissed. …… If it is difficult to avoid being dismissed in the end, my husband and wife will simply go to my son. ”

Although Liu Wei seemed to be just pretending to be free and easy, whether it was the Marquis of Luyang or Zhao Yu beside him, they all listened to it with admiration in their hearts.

"Alright, let's go back to the inn first."

Pointing to the carriage parked in the alley across the street, Liu Jian and the three of them said.

Looking at the back of Liu Wei leaving, the Marquis of Luyang couldn't help but praise in a low voice, but this praise made Zhao Yu feel a little confused, and couldn't help asking: "Dad, listening to your tone, it seems that you are not very familiar with Liu Gong?" ”

"Isn't that weird?"

The Marquis of Luyang was not surprised that his young son could see it, after all, at this moment, although he didn't say it, he had already improved his evaluation of his son's wisdom again and again in his heart, so it was not surprising that his son could see this.

"Liu Gong only came to my Luyang three years ago to serve as the county magistrate, and I didn't have much intersection with him during this period, and I didn't move around too much......"

"I haven't had much in three years?" Zhao Yu was a little surprised, and then couldn't help asking, "What about before that?" Who is the county magistrate of my Luyang County? ”

The Marquis of Luyang didn't respond, but said lightly: "Let's go, don't let Liu Gong wait for a long time." ”

At that moment, Zhao Yu saw the gloomy expression on his father's face, and his heart suddenly dawned: The former county magistrate of Luyang County is afraid that he has a very poor relationship with this father.

After a while, Liu Wei, Luyang Xianghou and others boarded the carriage when they came, ready to return to the post house.

In the carriage, Liu Yu couldn't help but praise Zhao Yu again, Zhao Yu was a little embarrassed, after all, he thought that he was just stained with the light of some special opportunities, and in terms of wisdom alone, he didn't think that he could be better than Liu Wei and Luyang Xianghou.

After everyone returned to the post house, Ding Wu, the lieutenant of Luyang County, who learned of the incident, immediately greeted him and asked with a little urgency: "Duke Liu, the townsman, I don't know what the result of this trip is?" ”

Beside him, those county officials from Luyang County also looked at him with concern.

Seeing this, Liu Wei glanced at Zhao Yu, who was standing beside the Marquis of Luyang, and immediately laughed: "God bless my Luyang County, with the wisdom of the Xianghou father and son, the Wang County Order of Ruyang County finally agreed to help my county." ”

"I'm ashamed."

In the humble voice of the Luyang Township Marquis who did not dare to take credit, the county lieutenant Ding Wuding and the county guards next to him cheered.

It's no wonder, after all, whether it's the county lieutenant Ding or the county magistrate next to him, they are basically all locals of Luyang County, and the troubles of the refugees are closely related to them, and of course they also hope to solve the problem of the refugees as soon as possible.

In view of the fact that there is still a period of time before dusk to eat, Zhao Yu originally wanted to walk around the streets of Ruyang County and see some ancient customs, after all, Ruyang County is a bigger county than Luyang County, not to mention Zhao Yu, even Jingnu is a little yearning.

But seeing that the Marquis of Luyang had no intention of taking the two of them around the street, Zhao Yu had to temporarily dismiss this idea, after all, they were here to seek help from Rushui County, not to play.

The next day, on the fourth day of the eighth month, the people who had already achieved their goal in Ruyang County set off for several other county towns in the Rushui area, and their next stop was Yangren County in the east of Ruyang.

According to Liu Wei on the way, compared with Ruyang County, Yangren County is slightly inferior, but it is not comparable to Luyang County, and the financial resources of the county town are roughly equivalent to two Luyangs, so it is natural that Liu Wei and Luyang Township Marquis are included in the list of asking for help.

The county order of Yangren County is called Zhengzhou, which has the same name as a large county town in the north, and Zixiang is his cousin.

After meeting this Zheng County Commander, Liu Jian explained his intentions and explained to the former that he was going to implement the "cash-for-work" strategy in Luyang County, so as to alleviate the problem of refugees.

During this period, Zhao Yu sat next to his father Luyang Township Marquis and secretly looked at the Zheng County Commander.

If he thinks that the pot-bellied Wang County Commander of Ruyang County is like a businessman with a copper smell, then the Zheng County Commander in front of him at this moment is more like a noble son from a family, especially the other party's eyesight and insight, which is by no means comparable to that Wang Danwang County Commander.

I saw that after listening to Liu Wei's account of "work for relief", this Zheng County Commander said with a smile: "Liu Gong is really calculating, stealing the power of my Rushui counties to benefit Luyang, and I want to come to Luyang after the completion ......of this canal, Luyang will be unlimited in the future."

Although Liu Wei was a few years older than this Zheng County Commander, he was also a little embarrassed, and he said embarrassedly: "Where is this theft?" ”

"Isn't it?" Zheng Xianling said with a smile: "I, the counties of Rushui, contributed money, grain, and manpower, but in the end they got nothing, but your county was able to get a blessing in disguise and dig a river canal to irrigate the farmland in the county......"

Hearing this, the Marquis of Luyang Township said lightly: "In fact, the reverse is also possible, if Yangren County is willing to accept the displaced people, my Luyang County is also willing to allocate money and manpower to help your county to work for relief." ”

Zheng Xianling glanced at the Luyang Township Marquis, smiled and waved his hand and said, "Haha, forget it, this matter is too risky." …… Don't care about the townspeople, just talk about things. ”

After some discussion between the two sides, the Zheng County Commander of Yangren County readily agreed to the conditions of helping Luyang County, of course, provided that no refugees invaded Yangren County as promised by Liu Wei.

Afterwards, Jing Nu asked Zhao Yu curiously: "Young master, why did that Zheng County Commander obviously see my Luyang County's calculations, but in the end he still agreed to the request made by Liu Gong and the townsman?" ”

"Because he's afraid of trouble." Zhao Yu explained.

Indeed, whether it is in Ruyang County or Yangren County at the moment, Liu Jian has explained the strategy of "work for relief" to the county orders of these two places, so that the county orders of the two places can know where the money and grain are allocated, and although this trick is clever, after it is broken, it is actually the same thing, Luyang County can do it, and Ruyang and Yangren can actually do it.

But why didn't Zhengzhou, the county commander of Yangren County, mean this at all? The reason for this is that the cash-for-work strategy itself has extremely high requirements, such as the overall planning of materials and the management of refugees.

It is with this in mind that the county magistrate of Yangren County, Zhengzhou, has no intention of taking risks, he would rather give some money, food, and manpower, and let Luyang County take this risk for them.

In fact, the same is true in Luyang County, if it weren't for the fact that too many refugees have gathered in the territory, in fact, Liu Wei and the Luyang townspeople don't want to take risks, but there is no way, and work for relief is the only way out in Luyang County at present.

However, what puzzled Zhao Yu was, what role did the country play in this matter?

On the way to the next county seat, Zhao Yu couldn't help but ask questions in the carriage: "Duke Liu, father, the refugee problem is so serious this year, why didn't the imperial court send someone to help?" ”

Compared with the silence of the Luyang townspeople, Liu Xianling sighed and said: "The second prince doesn't know, in the past few years, I have encountered natural disasters all over the Great Jin, and the imperial court is not ignorant, but can't control it. Plus the rebellion in the south......" Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhao Yu and laughed dryly twice in an attempt to confuse the past.

It's a pity that Zhao Yu heard it clearly, and couldn't help but ask: "Rebellion? Liu Gong, what rebellion? ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard the Luyang townsman impatiently scolded: "What are children doing when they ask so much? ”

"Countryman."

Seeing that Zhao Yu was reprimanded by his father, Liu Wei felt a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Don't be angry, it's not a big deal. ”

He turned his head and said to Zhao Yu again: "Since the second son wants to know, it doesn't hurt to inform the second son, but I hope the second son will not spread it." ”

Zhao Yu nodded.

Seeing this, Liu Gong stroked his beard and whispered: "Second son, do you know that those refugees in my Luyang County have migrated from all over the country?" Wancheng! The reason is that Wang Shangde, the general of the garrison in Wancheng and Jingshui, collected a large amount of grain and grass in the local area to fight against the rebels, which led to a serious deficit in the official warehouses of the counties in Wancheng and Jingshui, and in addition to the natural disasters in the past two years, thousands of refugees fled north. In other places, there have also been rebellions in recent years, so that the imperial court has repeatedly sent troops to suppress them, consuming too much grain and grass...... Natural disasters are secondary, and military disasters are the key. ”

"Uh-oh."

Zhao Yu nodded suddenly in realization, and immediately turned his head to look at his father.

Indeed, as his father Luyang Xianghou said, this is indeed not something he should understand.
