You go back first, and I will make a decision after discussing this matter with Taixuecheng.

Send someone to call Taixuecheng, and I will wait for him in the courtyard. ”

"Whoa."

Dongjun is not very far from Yan Yi's hometown, so Yan Yi's face is also ugly now.

He was a little worried about whether his hometown had been affected, after all, those officials had just said that sixteen counties had been affected.

After Zhang Yuan saw it, he patted Yan Yi's shoulder, he knew that Jinan County was estimated to have been affected this time.

The 16 counties affected by the disaster are all south of the Yellow River, and Jinan County happens to be at the mouth of the Yellow River.

King Wuqiu Shou arrived soon, and he knew why Zhang Yuan called him here.

"Too much of a school order."

"Let's sit down first."

"Whoa."

After King Wuqiu Shou sat down, Zhang Yuan opened his mouth.

"The Yellow River burst its banks, do you think the imperial court's grain reserves are enough?"

"It's definitely enough, and the people can survive as long as they eat potatoes.

It's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that we must first block the place where the breach is broken, such a big river, without the control of the river, so much water flow can completely turn 10,000 acres of fertile land into swamps."

Zhang Yuan felt that the 10,000 acres that King Wuqiu Shou said was a lot less, and the land of the sixteen counties was much.

Even if the counties in the land of Qilu are not very large, they are also sixteen county land, and the population density of this place is the largest except for the rule of Chang'an in Guannei.

Zhang Yuan knew that it was precisely because the Yellow River continued to burst its banks and flooded, causing continuous disasters to the south of the Yellow River, which caused a large number of people to move north and enriched the population of Jizhou.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao was able to occupy such a big advantage in the early stage by relying on the population of Jizhou, which far exceeded that of the rest of the country.

"I'm afraid that if someone in the court is unwilling and interferes with it, His Majesty's determination to deal with the disaster will be shaken."

"With so many people affected, how can anyone in the court oppose it?"

This time, Zhang Yuan did not say it to Wuqiu Shou Wang Ming, but sighed, and then paused and said.

"There is no need to reduce the use of Taixue students this time, as usual, Taixue is a place of learning.

It is likely that the people in the DPRK and China will regard this as a political struggle, and Taixue does not need to be involved in it, but you and I officials can show their determination by offering some modest efforts. ”

"What is the Taixue Order going to do?"

"I'll go to Chang'an and see when the time comes.

Don't let other remarks stir up too much panic among the insiders. ”

"Whoa."

Zhang Yuan was worried that because of these natural disasters, students who studied too much would not be able to study with peace of mind.

Because there is no way to explain to them that this natural disaster has nothing to do with God, if you tell Liu Che, Liu Che will not believe it.

If the disasters that occur have nothing to do with God, then a complete chain of cause and effect will not be formed, and everyone will be even more confused if they cannot find an explanation.

"Teacher, do you need students to go to Chang'an with you?"

Yan Yi was eager to know if his hometown had been affected, so he was a little impetuous, but Zhang Yuan also understood.

"Come with me, and you'll see the world."

When Zhang Yuan brazenly said this, Yan Yi only nodded. In fact, in Dahan alone, Zhang Yuan has not seen as much of the world as Yan Yi's descendants.

The master and apprentice prepared their horses and left Du County directly without their entourage.

When he went out of the city gate, Zhang Yuan also saw a little guy in his house, and it seemed that Mei Gao had sent everyone to the place where they needed to write.

Zhang Yuan did not register, but Yan Yi went down to register, this is the rule, so as not to find the student, through the Du County Government, you can also know which city gate the student went out from.

After riding a horse and whipping to Chang'an City, Zhang Yuan took Yan Yi directly to Wei Qing's servant mansion.

The purpose of this trip is to meet Wei Qing and Princess Pingyang, these two are Zhang Yuan's backers in the future, and it is really not very reassuring to do things without pulling the two of them up.

When Wei Qing was popular, he basically had to accompany Liu Che from morning to evening.

However, Zhang Yuan was not in a hurry, so he rested in the house, teasing Wei Qing's children from time to time, and waiting for Wei Qing to return to the house by the way.

Wei Qing's original wife also knew her husband's relationship with this Tai Xueling, so she was very thoughtful, but she didn't understand why Zhang Yuan always had some helplessness and unbearable in her eyes when she looked at her.

Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, Wei Qing returned to the house.

"Look who's coming."

"Brother Yuan, why did you come to Chang'an in time?"

"Let's go inside."

Wei Qing glanced at Yan Yi beside Zhang Yuan, his face changed slightly, and then he didn't say anything, and continued to laugh and follow Zhang Yuan into the house.

Yan Yi's eyes were wide open, he didn't know who was the master of this servant mansion now.

After each of them sat down, Wei Qing looked at Yan Yi on Zhang Yuan's side and asked out loud.

"Who is this person? How I don't seem to have seen it before. ”

"The students who are accepted in Taixue, since they have become Taixue Ling, wouldn't it be too abrupt for a teacher not to accept a student."

"Hahaha, I'm worried that you will mistake people's children, brother Yuan."

"Nonsense."

Knowing that Yan Yi was Zhang Yuan's student, and Zhang Yuan brought him here directly represented Zhang Yuan's trust in him, Wei Qing no longer defended.

"Brother Yuan came to Chang'an for the Yellow River to burst its banks?"

"Brother Qing, you raised roundworms in my stomach, right?"

"There are only two major events in the past few days, one is the establishment of Taixue, but His Majesty has not said anything, which means that it has been very smooth.

The second thing is the Yellow River breach, but according to your heart, brother, how can you come to see me for this matter? ”

Indeed, in the past, Zhang Yuan may not even know that the disaster occurred, and Zhang Yuan may not even know that the disaster is over.

In the eyes of others, this is not caring about this kind of thing.

But this time, Zhang Yuan knew about this matter from the beginning, and he also knew the seriousness of the matter, and he really couldn't bear to see so many people die because of it.

"Before Taixue was founded, I said that what Taixue did was to establish a life for the people.

Seeing this, how can I turn a blind eye, now that I have the ability to help the people, I will do my best, and if I can die one less person, it will be a good result. ”

Wei Qing nodded, he was originally a kind-hearted person, and it was impossible to turn a blind eye to such a disaster.

"In that case, brother Yuan, let's talk about what I need my brother to do."

Zhang Yuan glanced at Yan Yi, and Yan Yi came out of the queue to ask Wei Qingzuo.

"Dare to ask the servant, is Jinan County among the affected counties?"

Wei Qing sighed and nodded helplessly.

"This time, the Yellow River burst its banks, and the river flooded to the southeast, and Jinan County bore the brunt."
