The little guy stepped forward to ask, and after asking for a while, he came back and reported: "Master, these displaced people are all from Yuanwu County, and the embankment of Yuanwu has burst." ”

"What? Broken again? Alas...... Yellow River, Yellow River, Yellow River......" Wang Anshi said as he shook his head.

The breach of the Yellow River was a rare event in later generations, and in this era, it was a matter of time and time, and large and small breaches were too common, and even the diversion of the Yellow River was a frequent occurrence. In the first two years, half of Bianliang City was flooded.

Yuanwu County, belongs to Zhengzhou, Zhengzhou and Kaifeng are adjacent, both belong to Gyeonggi Road, Zhengzhou is in the west, Kaifeng is in the east, and they are very close to each other. Yuanwu to Kaifeng Bianliang, but within 200 miles. This line is the waterway of the Yellow River, Bianliang is on the south bank of the Yellow River, and Yuanwu County is on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Gan Qi looked at the countless homeless people who were walking slowly not far away, except for the ragged clothes and dragged their families, they had no long things, their faces were full of sorrow, their movements were slow, and their faces were full of vegetables, and they were pitiful. opened his mouth and asked: "The imperial court should provide disaster relief, and Brother Jiefu is afraid that he will be busy." ”

Duzhi Yamen is a place where money and food go in and out, and if you want to provide disaster relief, you will naturally have to be busy. Wang Anshi was not afraid of being busy, and said: "Busy is nothing, that is, the southern taxes have not yet entered Beijing, and the treasury is stretched, and I don't know if the matter of the original Wuhe River break is serious, if the affected area is too large, it will be difficult." ”

The Yellow River, the Yangtze River, and the large and small rivers everywhere have suffered countless disasters every year in this era of underdeveloped science and technology. The Yangtze River and other rivers in the south are not regulated by those dams, and when the rainy season comes, they will inevitably flood monstrously, and the affected areas will be large and small, all depending on luck.

The same is true for the Yellow River, where there is more and more sediment, the river channel is getting higher and higher, and the embankments on the banks of the river have to be built higher and higher, and it is easier for the banks to burst.

Looking through the history books, the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties and the Republic of China, there are records of flood relief everywhere. Once the imperial court failed to deal with it, the records immediately became a rebellion by displaced people, and then it was a disaster relief for thieves. The thief was killed, and a few words were recorded. If the thief can't be stopped, then it's troublesome......

However, in the era of farming, a large number of people were inseparable from the side of the river, and next to the river, there must be a vast plain, so the river is the foundation of China. Accept the nourishment brought by the river again and again, and also accept the disaster brought by the river again and again, this is Huaxia.

Wang Anshi hurriedly said goodbye and went into the city, it was time for him to be busy.

Ganchi stood on the shore, watching the homeless people walk past him, his eyes empty, countless children crying in hunger.

In the vicinity of Gyeonggi, whenever there is a disaster, these displaced people also know where to go and where there will be food. It's just that these displaced people arrived in the capital city of Bianliang, but they couldn't enter the city, so they could only wait outside the city for relief.

There are countless beggars on the docks, and countless people gather outside the sumo ring.

There were also more soldiers guarding the city at the city gate, because the city gate tower was surrounded by many begging homeless people, and what the soldiers had to do was to ensure that the city gate was unblocked, and it was inevitable to wave wooden sticks and whips to drive away the homeless people from congestion.

Gan Qi sighed, and after looking at the displaced people for a long time, Gan Qi also went into the city.

What can be done for these displaced people? Gan Qi had some thoughts, and he was thinking about these things all the way. Disaster relief is not only a good deed, but also political capital, and this kind of thing should be done for whatever purpose, and it will be beneficial to Gan Qi and harmless.

It just costs money.

Gan Qi is willing to spend money, but how to spend this money should also be a little particular.

Back in his house in the city, Gan Chiti wrote many posts.

After writing it, he sent someone to send it out, and then Gan Qi went to Taixue.

Today's Taixue no longer knows the previous Taixue, and the atmosphere has changed somewhat.

The young people who used to talk loudly are now slowly becoming much quieter and calmer. The atmosphere of reading seems to have changed, this change is a little indescribable, but it can be felt personally, especially Hu Ming, who obviously feels that these students in Taixue have become sensitive and eager to learn, less jumpy, and more mature.

It's like a teenager who goes from a carefree youth to a young man who really starts thinking about many issues. This change may not seem obvious at first glance, but it takes a lot of experience to make it happen.

In the past, when Gan Qi came to Taixue, he could always meet people walking around as soon as he entered the door, such as Confucius Xiang, every time Gan Qi came, the first one to come forward to greet him was mostly Confucius Xiang, and this time Confucius Xiang didn't know where he went. The sound of reading aloud in the school hall did not come, but the figures who were immersed in reading could be seen from afar.

Gan Qi also seemed to feel the change, and walked towards Hu Jin's room.

Hu Ying in front of the case, sometimes writing hard, sometimes frowning and thinking, even Gan Qi's voice at the door, Hu Ying didn't seem to hear it.

Wait for Ganqi to speak again: "Student Ganqi, please meet sir." ”

Hu Ying didn't look up, but asked directly, "Who?" Who's coming? ”

"Student Ganqi, meet the sir."

"Ganch?" As soon as Hu Ying raised his head, he immediately smiled, got up and went out of the case, and said, "Dao Jian is here, come in quickly, come in quickly." ”

Gan Qi made a fuss and walked into the room, but saw Hu Ying directly turn his head and pick up the stack of papers on the case, and said, "Dao Jian, take a look, look at the text that the old man has recently prepared a book." ”

Gan Qi took the manuscript and looked through it a few times, but he really couldn't get into it, so he looked up and said, "Sir, the manuscript is being read later, and the students have something to discuss here." ”

"Dao Jian has something, it must be a big deal, Dao Jian sat and said."

Gan Qi sat down, and then said slowly: "When the students came, they saw many displaced people outside the city, thousands of them, which were placed by the breach of the river embankment in Nayuan Wu County, and the students wanted to discuss disaster relief with Mr. ”

"Broken again? Alas...... Heaven and earth are not kind, disaster relief, the old man will definitely say in front of the emperor, the official family has always been benevolent, and the court will inevitably do its best, Dao Jian rest assured, the court will also do their best. Hu Ying was a little melancholy.

Gan Qi nodded: "The students also want to contribute to these victims. ”

Hu Ying looked at Gan Qi, and probably guessed in his heart that Gan Qi was going to pay for good deeds again, so he said: "If Dao Jian wants to contribute, the old man will also support you, but this kind of thing should be done according to your ability, how many people are affected, and how much you can save even if you go bankrupt, so you don't have to be too forceful." There are many ways for the imperial court to provide disaster relief, the young and strong will be recruited into the army, so that they can have a full mouthful of food, and the old and weak women and children will release grain, just wait for the flood to recede, and return to their hometowns to continue farming. Every year. ”

To say that the Great Song Dynasty disaster relief method is really a genius idea, recruiting young and strong people into the army, one can prevent these young and strong people from becoming thieves, two can supplement the army, and three can also play a role in disaster relief, saving the cost of direct disaster relief, killing several birds with one stone.

But this method seems to be a real genius, and it can always solve the immediate problem, but it is endless.

However, this problem is not something that Gan Qi can solve now, so he heard Gan Qi say: "Sir, the student alone is limited, but the student has thought of some other methods, so I want to ask Mr. to help one or two." ”

"Oh? What's the solution, let's hear it. Hu Ying asked.

In Gan Qi's heart, he also has a disaster relief method that kills several birds with one stone, and he is ready to talk about it in detail with Hu Yin. At this time, above the court, many ministers were also discussing disaster relief in front of Renzong.
