In Taixue, Gan Qi was answering Hu Ming's words: "Sir, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the students are going to hold a Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting, and invite many young scholars in Bianliang City to go to the meeting, the name of the poetry club is called the Mid-Autumn Festival Charity Poetry Club, and the student union will take the lead in donating money on the poetry meeting, and will also mobilize the students and scholars to donate together, so I would like to ask Mr. Hu to bring the doctors and scholars of Taixue to go with me at that time." ”

Charity dinner or something, for Gan Qi is a small routine, but for this era, it is a new thing. But Hu Ying can guess what Gan Qi is going to do with this name alone.

Hu Ying also knew why Gan Qi came to invite him to participate in the poetry meeting, sitting in the town was only one of them, and more importantly, Hu Ming's identity was different, just by virtue of the fact that half of the officials in the Ministry of Rites were Hu Ming's students, he could make those students present embarrassed not to donate, which was the goal.

There may even be many students from wealthy families who will rush to donate money in front of Hu Ming, wanting to make a good impression in front of Hu Ming, and leave a good impression in front of Hu Ming.

In the final analysis, it is to show your face in front of Hu Ying, and there are many benefits. Although Hu Ying is not a big official, Hu Jin's status in today's literary world is not ordinary, and for ordinary students, his influence is not much different from that of Zai, especially those prime ministers who have been masturbated for a year.

In the Song Dynasty, many people said that Hu Ying was comparable to Confucius and Mencius, and even Wang Anshi directly said such words after Hu Ming's death. In the Ming Dynasty, Hu Ying was directly called "Confucian beard", and Hu Ying became a beard, which means that it was juxtaposed with Confucius and Mencius, and Hu Ming's spiritual position was also directly offered to Confucius to enjoy incense.

Hu Ying was laughing, and nodded again and again: "Well, Dao Jian's method is good, the old man's old face, if it can be turned into money for disaster relief, it can also be sold." ”

The old man was so transparent that Gan Qi would smile heartily: "Thank you, sir." ”

The reading class was never poor in ancient times, the reading class was the representative of the wealthy class, and most of the people who could support the reading at home were not poor. In ancient times, those who could be called "doors" were not poor people, and the poor did not have a door. The cold door is just a declining aristocracy, as long as there are books at home, there is still a door, if there are no books handed down by the ancestors, there will be no door, and it will not be called a cold door.

The real poor scholars are actually a very small few. Because reading is something that the poor can't afford. Even if Cai Qu said that he was poor since he was a child and was born in a poor family, this kind of poverty is not the kind of poverty of the real people at the bottom, he is a poor person in the circle of readers, he may not be able to buy a lot of books, he can't afford to pay a lot of tuition, and he uses pen and ink poorly, but he can still afford to read!

Whether it is a big landlord or a small landlord, if the family is not able to collect rent, and cannot be separated from production and labor, they will not talk about studying, and the matter of eating enough will occupy most of the time in their lives. Exceptions may be made for very few cases where there are other circumstances.

Therefore, among the Confucian scholars, there are no poor people.

Gan Qi wants to hold a Mid-Autumn Festival charity poetry party, just to get some money out of these rich people.

With Hu Ying's help, the matter is almost half the battle. In this kind of matter, Hu Ying has a bigger face than Bao Zheng.

In fact, Gan Qi not only has to hold a charity poetry meeting, but also a charity ball game, ticket income, those gamblers who have made money are in a good mood to donate a little, and the merchants participating in the ball game give a little, all of which are used for disaster relief.

When the time comes, that scene will inevitably shake the entire Bianliang City.

In the past, large families did their own charity things, such as putting grain, giving porridge, paving roads and bridges, and so on.

This is the first time Gan Qi has held a truly large-scale charity event.

This is probably the political capital that Gan Qi wants.

But many things don't seem to be as simple as Gan Qi thinks.

Above the court, the Yellow River was also being discussed.

Renzong Zhao Zhen sat in the study, Han Qi, Fu Bi, Zeng Gongliang, who had just become the governor of the political affairs, Tian Guo, the privy envoy, Zhang Sheng, the deputy envoy, Zhang Fangping, the third envoy, were all there, Bao Zheng, who had just become the middle of the imperial history, was also there, and even Wang Anshi, the judge of the degree branch, was also standing at the end of the crowd.

The study was almost packed.

Zhao Zhen is asking: "It has only been more than two years since the Liuta River broke its embankment twice, and all parts of Hebei have just recovered some vitality, why did this former Wu County break again?" ”

Speaking of the Liuta River, we have to mention one of the things that Emperor Renzong did in his life, that is, to divert the Yellow River.

Why artificially divert the Yellow River? Because there used to be a "folk scientist" named Li Chui, who served as the governor of several places in Hebei, he found through research that the Yellow River has been diverted from ancient times to the present, and the river is getting more and more north.

Then he came to a conclusion, that is, if the Yellow River is allowed to develop like this, one day the Yellow River will definitely be diverted to the north, and then it will be diverted to the north, and one day the river will enter the Liao State. River into Liao? That's okay, the army of the Liao, isn't it possible to go all the way south directly by boat? can't stop it, the country is in great trouble.

Then Li Chui continued to preach this theory, and kept writing to Emperor Renzong, we must not let the Yellow River change its course again, we have to change the Yellow River back, change back to the old course of a thousand years ago, that is, use manpower to divert the Yellow River to the south.

Renzong didn't really take it seriously at first, but in the eighth year of Qingli, the Yellow River was rerouted by itself and changed a few miles to the north. This time, Li Trai's research has been verified, Li Trai was prescient, Renzong and all the bigwigs in the DPRK and China looked back, and they all felt that Li Trai was very reasonable.

What to do? Finally, more than two years ago, Renzong and many bigwigs in the DPRK decided to do it and break the Yellow River to the south. Of course, there are also voices of opposition, such as Ouyang Xiu, who was opposed, and Zhou Xin, who was the Hebei transfer envoy at the time, also opposed, but it was useless, and people spoke lightly.

The way to divert the river is naturally to dig another opening in the Yellow River and divert water into the Liuta River.

Then the Yellow River was dug up, and the water was surging, which directly broke the embankment of the small Liuta River, and turned many rich prefectures in the southeast of Hebei into the sea.

In the end, there were ten rooms and nine emptiness, and even the 100,000 forbidden troops stationed in Hebei were counted afterwards, and there were less than 30,000 left.

Finally the water receded, and then, and then it was ...... Another duel, another ocean. Half of Hebei, half of the granary, just gave it so wasted.

It has been more than two years since the money and food were given, the victims were comforted, and the troops were re-recruited, and only then did they see some results.

To say that the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the change of Jingkang, and the diversion of the Yellow River are really inseparable, and the good Hebei was troubled by such a big flood, the population was sharply reduced, the economy was not to mention, and even the ordnance and equipment of 100,000 troops had to be rebuilt.

After the Yellow River in the Hebei section became a "free river", how to flow as you want, how to rush how you want, there is really no way, after the small needle needle ascended the throne, you have to wipe Renzong's buttocks, want to break the Yellow River back again, break back to the original river, can this still be broken back? There was a big flood again, and this time the big water almost drowned Su Shi who was in Xuzhou at the time, so angry that Su Shi jumped to his feet and scolded. Then, the Yellow River remained free.

When you finally recovered a little vitality, in 1099, the second year of Song Zhezong's Yuanfu, because the Yellow River continued to flood, Song Zhezong also wanted to wipe Renzong's ass, and wanted to break the Yellow River back to its original position, flooded again, and washed Hebei again.

Renzong dug up the Yellow River and destroyed more than 30 million acres of fertile land in Hebei.

Then, more than 20 years later, the Jurchen Jin army came, breaking Hebei as if it were no man's land. destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty and drove it to the south to become the Southern Song Dynasty.

Who knows, the Jin country was also pitted by Renzong, several emperors, all their lives with the big water bar, used the strength of milk and the Yellow River bar, every year to send big water, every year to repair the river, every year to relieve the disaster.

That's not all, even after the Mongols came, they also fought with the Yellow River for a lifetime, and in the end, they had to mobilize millions of people in Hebei to dredge the Yellow River, desperately digging rivers everywhere to channel the river, and then ...... Millions of people have risen everywhere.

This is the famous "Sanyi Hui River", Renzong dug Shenzong dig, Shenzong dug Zhezong dug. After Zhezong dug up, the Jin people continued to dig, the Jin people dug for nearly a hundred years, destroyed the country, as soon as the Mongols took over, they began to dig from Kublai Khan, and then dug for nearly a hundred years, and also destroyed the country.

If you don't do it, you won't die, maybe that's the truth. Citizen scientists can't believe it, and that's probably the case. However, Li Chui, a folk scientist, died early, and as soon as he died, he didn't see the vast sea of Hebei, but Renzong Zhao Zhen was anxious.

The diversion of the Yellow River is such a thing, even in future generations, and the government will not dare to do it lightly.

Renzong did it!

After doing it, Renzong was kind and benevolent to help the disaster everywhere, and the disaster came again.

There were countless ministers in the imperial study, and they all lowered their heads, not knowing what to do, so they almost dug up the folk scientist Li Chui and whipped the corpse.

Han Qi, as a big man, naturally had to speak: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that disaster relief is important, this time the original Wu River decision, when it is not as good as the previous Liuta River decision, Your Majesty can rest assured, the minister should mobilize food for the victims to survive, and after the flood is over, repair the river embankment and resume farming." ”

Renzong sighed and shook his head, he was really tired, two years ago, even Bianliang City was covered for most of it, and this disaster was endless. I had to wave my hand and say, "Han Qing will definitely handle this errand, and he will also send someone to Yuanwu to take a look, see what the disaster is, and then report it." ”

Han Qi, the new prime minister, once again took care of everything: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will go to arrange and arrange this matter, and this matter will be handled properly." ”

Renzong was uncomfortable and stood up: "First go all out for disaster relief, and then report it later." ”

"Yes!" Han Qi knew that this thing couldn't be done badly, once this thing was done, Renzong would have to get out of the way with a kick on his feet, and Han Qi, who had just sat on the hot ass, could only do it hard, and he had to do it beautifully, highlighting the prime minister's ability.

This is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, if this matter is done beautifully, this time the position of prime minister will really sit firmly! Sit down completely, with this great achievement, you don't have to be so cautious anymore, and you don't have to be afraid of being kicked down by Emperor Renzong at any time.
