On an errand, Han Qi went out of the palace and convened a group of officials to discuss.

The matter was very simple, Han Qi opened his mouth to ask for money and food.

Zhang Fangping, the third envoy, replied: "Han Xianggong Rongyu, the treasury in Beijing, there is really not much grain left, the winter grain is harvested early, and the military salaries from all parts of Gyeonggi have been paid, and the spring grain in the south is only collected, and the taxes collected are still being counted, so it is too late to get to the capital." It was a time when the harvest was scarce, and there was really no extra money and food for disaster relief. ”

Zhang Fangping was ready to speak in front of the emperor before, but there was no room to speak, and Han Qi took it too quickly.

Han Qi looked at Zhang Fangping, his face was very ugly, and he asked, "Is it really nothing?" ”

Zhang Fangping didn't want to cheat Han Qi, but this was the case, Zhang Fangping could only speak: "Han Xianggong also knows, although the imperial court's revenue has been rising, but all kinds of expenses have risen faster. The matter of reducing redundant expenses has also been discussed in the court many times, but it has not seen great results, and now it is like this, and it is slowly beyond his means, and he also asks Han Xianggong to forgive his sins. ”

Han Qi stared at his eyes and looked left and right.

Zhang Fangping also turned his head and signaled to a few officials behind him, and Wang Anshi, the judge of Duzhi, stepped forward and arched his hand: "Xianggong Han, the accounts in the Duzhi Yamen are clear, and there is really not much food left." ”

Han Qi also knew that what the Sansi Yamen said was true, but it was impossible not to solve the matter, and it was impossible to take the situation to the emperor to complain, what did he want the prime minister to do? Isn't that what solves the problem? Could it be that the emperor himself could solve the problem? The emperor can't make money and food.

Han Daxianggong was also unlucky, not long after taking office, he either fought a war or made a big splash.

I heard Han Qi ask again: "What is the situation of the state capitals in Gyeonggi?" ”

Although Wang Anshi has been in office for a short time, he still has a clear understanding of the affairs of various local branches, and stepped forward to reply: "Prime minister, there is not much grain in the treasury of various parts of Gyeonggi, but you can order it to go down, how much to transport, and combine the strength of all localities to tide over this difficulty." But ......"

"But what?" Where does Han Qi still have any patience.

Wang Anshi hurriedly continued: "The lower officials want to say, I don't know how many victims there are in Yuanwu breaking the embankment, the flood is still raging, the affected area is still expanding, if there are too many victims, I am afraid that the money and grain of the state capitals in Gyeonggi will be gathered together, and it will be difficult to continue." ”

Han Qi really had one head and two big this time, thought about it, and asked again: "Send people to the south to urge, and the transfer envoys from all over the country will urge one by one." ”

"Don't worry, I'll send someone to the south to urge." Zhang Fangping replied.

Han Qi opened his mouth again and asked, "How many homeless people have gathered outside the city now?" ”

The privy envoy Tian Guo stepped forward: "Han Xianggong, I heard a report just now that there are more than 40,000 displaced people, and they are still coming. ”

Han Qi waved his hand: "Tian Xianggong first sent people to recruit troops, and also went to the military camps to count them, to see how much grain is in the warehouses of the military camps, and to transport some out, which can be regarded as borrowing, and when the spring grain from the south arrives, he will return it." ”

Tian Guo nodded.

Han Qi got up: "Everyone, let's do it first." Put porridge outside the city as soon as possible, and no one will starve to death for the time being. After that, I'll figure it out again. ”

The people slowly retreated, each doing his own thing.

Han Qi still sat still, constantly trying to figure out a way. In fact, there was still some money and food available, but Di Qing went on an expedition, coming and going for several months, in order to restrict Di Qing, only gave Di Qing the jurisdiction of Yongzhou, and Di Qing's food and salary all depended on the supply of the imperial court. The cost was very large, and even Han Qi deliberately sank several boatloads of grain into the river. All this is to control Di Qing and make Di Qing die without a place to be buried.

It's really a butterfly effect, and it's all over the body.

If Gan Qi hadn't persuaded Di Qing to resign, Di Qing had been dead for a long time, and without Di Qing alive, the imperial court would not have sent troops to suppress the fire barbarians again. Huotong was making a fuss in Yongzhou, and Xiao Zhu was hiding in Yongzhou City to deal with it, but it would not threaten the things in Bianliang City.

Now Di Qing went to extinguish the Huodong, the money and grain were used, and even sank into the river. and there was a great flood to save the people who were in need.

Han Qi didn't know if he had lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot. If Di Qing had been given greater rights and temporarily governed the North and South Jinghu Road as last time, a large part of the grain and grass supplies would not have been directly distributed by the imperial court, and there would have been no need to sink the grain into the river.

In the final analysis, Han Qi didn't want to harm Di Qing, and he wouldn't be so embarrassed at this time.

At this time, Gan Qi didn't know Han Qi's embarrassment, he was operating his political capital, distributing posts everywhere, Gan Qi Gan Daojian's Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Club, the great Confucian Hu Ying and a group of Taixue doctors would be present to give direct lectures, and even some officials from the Ministry of Rites would also be present.

The people who received the post were excited.

There are also some people who usually have nothing to do with Gan Qi and also received the post unexpectedly.

For example, a rich child named Chen Han, his ancestors once served as a Beijing official, and his family had a big career after his career, and Chen Han's father is now only a county official under the eighth grade of Gyeonggi Road, but the family business is still not small, Chen Han is a half-hung scholar, and he has failed many exams, and he prefers to play around buildings than studying.

Chen Han received the post, opened it, saw Gan Qi's signature, the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting, excited, ran out of the house with the post, a few fox friends and dog friends made an appointment, Chen Han took out the post, triumphant, and began to blow: "Look at it, Gan Qi Gan Daojian, personally sent me a post, inviting me to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting, you see, handwritten post." I didn't think that he Gan Daojian had also heard of my name, this time the poetry meeting, Mr. Taixue Hu would also be present, as well as many officials of the Ministry of Rites, and even Lu Xuexue of Fuxue was also invited, such a good opportunity, I must have a good performance. ”

A few people leaned over to take a look, but they were not very surprised.

This made Chen Han feel a little unhappy, and said, "Why, do you still think it's fake?" This is true, Gan Daojian's own post. You must help me this time, give me the good poems and articles I wrote in the past, this time I must prepare properly, I will definitely make a brilliant head, and I will definitely make a splash at the poetry meeting. ”

It turned out that Chen Han invited these people to "brainstorm", in order to prepare poems, one person's talent is not good, so let's make it together.

But I saw a person mysteriously take out something from his arms, spread it out, and said, "Brother Chen, what do you think this is?" ”

Chen Han leaned over to take a look, his face full of surprise: "How is it possible, how can you also have Gan Daojian's handwritten post?" Why can you have it? ”

The man smiled: "Could it be that only Brother Chen is famous?" Don't you allow the little brother's name to reach Gan Daojian's ears? ”

But at this time, several people around him were digging in their arms. All the invitations that I took out were handwritten by Gan Qi.

"It can't be, it's impossible, you ...... Gan Daojian is blind? Chen Han was angry.

"Brother Chen, I think Gan Daojian heard about the reputation of several of us, so he posted it."

Chen Han got up and said, "I'll go first, I'll go to prepare poetry and articles, you eat and drink first." ”

After saying that, Chen Han left, he was really anxious, he was going to get some good poems here with these friends, but this time he couldn't get them, so he had to go to other people, find some poor scholars, give some money, and get some Mid-Autumn Festival words to prepare, and then use them at the poetry meeting.

But when I saw a few other people, where they were still eating and drinking, they all got up and left, probably going to get poems, be prepared, try to get as many as possible, and get a few good articles on any topic, which is probably a bet.

Just wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting, all of them will be a blockbuster.
