A few days later, seeing that Luoyang City was close in front of him, Lu Zheng looked out from time to time, and saw that there were already a lot of people on the roadside.

At this time, the carriage was moving forward, and there were some people entering the city on both sides of the carriage, Lu Zheng said to Shaoyin: "In my opinion, the outside of Luoyang City is also very calm, and it doesn't look like there is any disaster at all." ”

Shao Yin said: "What Lu Changshi sees at this point is only a superficial phenomenon, this group of people does not represent the people of the entire Henan, and there may be more relief here, so it is not very obvious." And the ten miles and eight towns in this vicinity are all full of sorrow, and the whole tragic situation cannot be spoken. ”

"Oh, I see, I'm a little vague, and I still need Shao Yin to guide me here."

After Lu Zheng finished speaking, the carriage had already approached the city gate, and when the carriage stopped, the guards lifted the curtain, looked at the four people inside, and after seeing Shaoyin, they hurriedly asked respectfully: "Shaoyin, you have been away from the Eastern Capital for a long time, and we are all waiting for you." ”

Shao Yin said: "Aren't I coming back?" ”

Then Shao Yin pointed to Lu Zheng, Qi Huan and others, and after introducing them one by one, he said, "What is the situation in the city now?" ”

The soldier said: "Fu Yin has been waiting for you for a long time, and I know that you insist on taking the guilt of Jing Yin, and Fu Yin prays every day that you can return safely." ”

"Okay, no need to say more, let it go."

The carriage drove into the city in this way, and then went to the government under the guidance of Shaoyin. Before entering the palace, there was a noise inside, Shao Yin suspiciously pushed open the door and saw that many officials were drinking, and some were even drunk, seeing Shao Yin coming.

All the officials knelt down in unison, and the leader begged for mercy: "I know that Shaoyin, you went to Chang'an, and we couldn't resist the temptation for a while, so we got together to drink some wine, and asked Shaoyin to spare his life." ”

Although Shao Yin was a little angry when he looked at this situation, he still said: "Okay, you all stand up, and I will introduce you to a few officials from the capital." ”

Shao Yin finished introducing them one after another, and said: "A few of them are officials sent by the Holy Lord, you must cooperate with them and listen to their orders." If you are a bold person, don't blame me for being unkind. ”

These individuals all replied: "Listen to Shao Yin's orders. ”

Shao Yin brought Lu Zheng, Qi Huan and Liu Dayuan into the inner room, and Liu Dayuan couldn't help but say at this time: "You have to be an official, I really haven't seen this house repaired." ”

Qi Huan said with a smile: "This is the mansion, Brother Liu hasn't seen my Tang Palace yet, it's much more magnificent than here." ”

Liu Dayuan also smiled and said: "I'm a rural layman, it's good to see here." ”

After a few people sat down, Lu Zheng said first: "Since we are here, we can discuss how to do the errand." I think it would be better to let Shao Yin Mingli discuss disaster relief with many officials in Heduo, and I and the Qishe people didn't go out first, just secretly visited. ”

"What about me?" Liu Dayuan said a little impatiently.

Lu Zheng smiled: "You can come with us." ”

Liu Dayuan said at this time: "I have long wanted to move my muscles and bones, and I will swear to protect you to the death when I handle the case with Lu Changshi." ”

At this time, a small official walked into the hall, brewed the tea and put it on the table, and explained: "Don't mind, a few officials, now that there is a disaster around Luoyang, the government can only have these teas." ”

Shao Yin wanted to be angry, but what the little official said was also the truth, the Luoyang disaster market withered, and this tea was also obtained from many sources, and now the expenses in the house are all simple, if someone dares to be a little extravagant, they will be severely punished.

Lu Zheng understood at this time: "It's okay, it's okay, this tea is just right, at this time of crisis, we don't have to be simple." ”

Then Lu Zheng said: "Shao Yin can issue a decree this afternoon, announcing that the people of the city are going to start a new policy. ”

"Isn't this too rushed?"

"No, this opening is the first step to solve the disaster, and we can't wait for a moment."

So Shao Yin sent several groups of officials to gather all the Luoyang officials, listen to the government in front of the hall, and by the way, call Henan Mansion Yin, and explain the whole thing clearly, if it is not customized, it will be difficult to implement this matter.

After a while, the full hall of officials was full, Shao Yin asked Lu Zheng to be in the main hall, and he began to announce the decree, all the officials listened, a little afraid, everyone knew that from this moment on, Luoyang will change greatly, and even the whole of Henan will change greatly. All the malpractices that used to be dealt with are being dealt with at this time, and these results are very likely to benefit the people.

When Shao Yin finished his whole speech, the whole audience began to talk about it, and most of them talked about the regulations for mobilizing all the materials to help the victims. But judging from the current situation, this is very bold, and it is a shot of strength to dare to break through the difficulties.

At this time, some officials already had an opinion in their hearts, whether this decree was too paranoid, and how could the current decree ignore reality, so the room was already full of gossip.

And Lu Zheng knew that he had to say cruel words to calm down on this occasion, so he coughed and said: "In my opinion, you must be sincere and united, we must overcome this difficulty, otherwise how to explain to the imperial court, the imperial court has been raising soldiers for more than 100 years, in order to revitalize the national strength, you must be proud of serving the country." ”

Having said that, many officials still didn't think so, and at this time, Fu Yin also coughed and said: "Lu Changshi was sent by the imperial court, even if we have different opinions, don't put it on the table first." ”

Lu Zheng said with a smile: "You can have different opinions, but we still have to twist into a rope, after all, I and all of you are the same, I am working for Your Majesty, and the edict just now is to listen to Your Majesty's meaning." ”

At this time, an official from the seat stood up and said: "Lu Changshi is condescending, but he doesn't know that our situation is extremely embarrassing now, so he said that this bandit is entrenched in the vicinity of Luoyang City, and the surrounding villages have been plundered, resulting in the surrounding area now being deserted and populated. ”

Lu Zheng asked, "Then what does this colleague mean?" ”

"I thought that the bandits should be suppressed first, and then the relief, and this decree could only be implemented after the bandits were cleared, otherwise there would be endless trouble."

"Okay, it's up to you." At this time, Lu Zheng took the case, which shocked all the officials, and then Fu Yin ordered all the officials to almost wipe out most of the bandits within three days. In fact, most of these bandits are grass, and only a few have combat effectiveness, and once the government encircles and suppresses them, many bandits will be able to look down on the wind.

After the officials retreated, Lu Zheng at this time, Qi Huan, Liu Dayuan and others walked out of the mansion and walked on the street. Anyway, I can see that these officials are not good birds, except for the man who proposed the strategy, the others are silent. ”

Qi Huan said at this time: "Brother Liu Dayuan's words are very thought-provoking, but we have the help of Shao Yin and Fu Yin for the time being, and we should be able to control these people." ”

At this time, Lu Zheng didn't say a word, and Qi Huan asked, "Lu Zheng thinks this is right?" ”

Lu Zheng said: "I'm not worried about this, I'm worried that the bandits can't be eliminated, and the people of Luoyang can't trust the government." After all, the government disaster relief is not good, and when we first arrived here, some of us were not familiar with the local people and did not have deep friendships with the local people. ”

Liu Dayuan said with a smile: "I will give Lu Changshi a relationship with this, after all, I am a person from this area, I am more familiar with customs than you, I see that we can go around more if we have nothing to do, visit many big families in Luoyang City, and find out some information." ”

"Brother Dayuan is right, I think it's okay, we will walk along this street, and we will go to whichever door looks extraordinary."

The three of them walked for a while, and a Zhumen mansion stood out in their eyes, and at this time, Lu Zheng saw a middle-aged man coming out of it, so he deduced that this person had an extraordinary status in the mansion, so he stepped forward and said, "May I ask if your master is here?" ”

The middle-aged man also saw that these people were not simple, so he said: "I am, may I ask Your Excellency?" ”

Lu Zheng didn't panic, he told the truth, this person invited Lu Zheng in, Lu Zheng saw that this person's house was still very rich and good, so he said to Qi Huan: "It is said that Luoyang City is a disaster, but these are the words of those poor people, you see that in this house, there must be a lot of grain, if you can come up with some relief to the people, the disaster will be different." ”

At this time, Liu Dayuan hurriedly said: "Changshi is right, it is indeed this principle, but in my opinion, these high-ranking families may not be able to do such a thing, they are all people who have selfish intentions regardless of others." ”

Several people bypassed the rockery landscape pavilion, and looked at the pavilions and pavilions, until they all came to a house with carved doors and windows carved exquisitely, this person said: "Three of you, please come in." ”

Lu Zheng was very skeptical: "Don't you ask who we are?" ”

This person said: "I heard that the Qin sent by the imperial court was sent to Luoyang City, and I guess a few of them are." ”

Then this person said to Lu Zheng: "You are Lu Changshi, and next to you is Qishe people." ”

Lu Zheng said: "You are right, and this is Liu Dayuan's brother." ”

This person said: "I understand the meaning of a few people coming here, a few of them want to inspect the people's livelihood and suffering, and they came to my house to spy on the meaning of the entire Luoyang wealthy family, and I can say on their behalf that most of the wealthy families in Luoyang are willing to cooperate with the government, after all, this is not only the government can do a good job, the situation in Luoyang is complicated, and the officials and businessmen have to work together." ”

Lu Zheng thought about this person's words for a while, and said: "It seems that you have also thought a lot, but as Qincha, we know how to do things, we can carefully consider what you mean, and in fact, I have one thing I want to say to you, but if you feel embarrassed, we will not force it." ”

"Don't be afraid, if there is anything you can mention, as long as I can do it, I can consider it one by one, as long as Qin Cha is willing to say, I will listen."
