Wang Anshi climbed the ninth-step hall steps with ease, walked to the door and said to the black-clothed attendant waiting here: "This official Wang Anshi, I ask to see the official family, and I also ask my father-in-law to pass it on my behalf." ”

Wang Anshi was a frequent visitor to the Xuanwu Palace, and the black-clothed servant was not surprised, he smiled, raised the dust and said sharply: "Please wait a while, our family will go in and tell the official." With that, he turned and entered the palace.

Wang Anshi was not in a hurry, standing on the steps with his hands in his hands and looking at the brilliant sunset in the sky, thinking about the words of the meeting in his heart.

Soon, the black-clothed attendant walked out in small steps, and said with a smile: "Xianggong Wang, the official family is invited." ”

Wang Anshi bowed his head slightly, flicked his sleeves and strode into the palace, and when he reached the palace, he bowed deeply to the throne in the north, and said in a loud voice: "The minister Shangshu ordered Wang Anshi to see the official family. ”

A steady and thick man's voice came from the throne in the north: "The teacher doesn't have to be polite, come here, give me a seat!" ”

Soon, a small chamberlain moved an embroidered pier and invited Wang Anshi to sit down.

Wang Anshi thanked him, sat down on the embroidered pier, and looked at Chen Hong, the great Qi emperor sitting on the throne.

Chen Hong is over 30 years old, and it is the middle-aged period of vigorous energy and physical strength.

He wears a saro with straight feet, an ochre yellow round-necked robe embroidered with dragon patterns, a red jade belt around his waist, and black upturned shoes.

Seeing his mentor Wang Anshi, Chen Hong had a few smiles on his face, and he didn't take the lead in talking about the matter, and said with a smile: "I think my mentor hasn't had dinner yet, right?" Why don't you stay here and dine with me? ”

Wang Anshi knew that the content of today's discussion would only take a long time, so he did not shirk it at the moment, and said: "Thank you for the reward from the officials, and the ministers should obey the order." ”

Chen Hong smiled and ordered the waiter to bring the evening soup.

Wang Anshi was a little strange why the Son of Heaven's dinner had become so simple, but it was inconvenient to ask more questions at the moment, so he had to suppress the doubts in his heart and slowly drink the evening soup, and suddenly felt a slight sweat on Zhou's body.

However, Chen Hong was a little unpleasant, he put down the jade bowl and sighed lightly, and said: "I always think that the victims of the disaster in Jiangnan Province have not been properly resettled, and many people are hungry, so they have repeatedly reduced the amount of money used in the inner court, and the dinner has also been changed to evening soup, hoping to save more money for disaster relief." ”

Wang Anshi suddenly realized, and sincerely admired: "The official family cares about the disaster victims, benevolence is unparalleled, it is really the blessing of the court, the blessing of the community, in fact, it is not hidden from the official family, today's old minister asked to see, it is for the resettlement of the disaster victims." ”

Hearing this, Chen Hong smiled reluctantly, and said: "I don't know what the teacher thinks, I should listen." ”

Having said that, Chen Hong did not have much hope in his heart.

The Imperial Court has held several court meetings to discuss issues such as the resettlement of victims in Gangnam Province.

However, on the whole, there are more problems, fewer solutions, and even less money, which makes the disaster relief work delayed again and again.

Fortunately, not long ago, the imperial court issued a welfare lottery, which also greatly alleviated the pressure on disaster relief funds.

Wang Anshi smiled and said: "Speaking of which, this is not the minister's opinion, but the opinion of Cui Wenqing of Fuzhou, the minister thinks it is very good, so he came to ask to see the official family and specially told him." ”

"Cui Wenqing?" Chen Hong frowned, thought for a long time, and asked sullenly, "Who?" ”

Wang Anshi smiled and said: "It's the welfare lottery!" ”

"Oh oh oh, you said him!" Chen Hong was stunned for a moment, and laughed, "I know that the governor of the Zhenwu Army is the husband of Zhao, right?" It is said that it is still a talent who has landed in the imperial examination. ”

"Yes, that's it."

"Hehe, teacher, how can you be interested in such an unknown little person?"

"The official family doesn't know, not long ago, Mr. Xiwen made a special letter to recommend Cui Wenqing's talent to the minister, but the minister didn't dare to be careless, so he asked Su Shi, the governor of the Hanlin Academy, to go to Fuzhou to investigate and understand."

"What, Mr. Xiwen actually made a special letter to recommend Cui Wenqing?" Hearing this, Chen Hong suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face, obviously feeling very surprised.

You must know that Mr. Xiwen is the humerus that the first emperor relied on the most, and when the Qi army was defeated in Lianghe, Fan Zhongyan turned the tide and saved the almost crumbling Great Qi Jiangshan, and was known as a peerless minister.

Even if Fan Zhongyan has now hung up his crown and left, his influence inside and outside the government and the opposition is also very huge, and even the current prime ministers Wang Anshi and Sima Guang already admire Fan Zhongyan.

Unexpectedly, Fan Zhongyan actually made a special letter to recommend someone, which is unbelievable.

Wang Anshi bowed his head lightly and said: "According to Su Shi's reply, one day he talked to Cui Wenqing about the flood relief in Jiangnan Province, Cui Wenqing didn't feel embarrassed at all, and after a little thought, he said a 'resettlement' method, Su Shi was shocked at the time, and hurriedly replied to Weichen, Wechen just thought about it, and felt that this method of resettlement was very good, so he came to tell the official family. ”

"The method of relocation?" Chen Hong's Danfeng eyes suddenly lit up, and in impatience, his body leaned forward slightly, and asked urgently, "I don't know what it means to settle in another place?" ”

Wang Anshi pondered for a while, and said: "Cui Wenqing's so-called resettlement in other places is due to the fact that Fuzhou has many barren fields, a lot of military debt funds, but the population is sparse, and Jiangnan Province is due to the disaster, the fields are destroyed, the houses are not there, and the disaster victims are overcrowded. In this way, it can not only solve the problem of overcrowding and not being able to resettle the victims in Gangnam Province, but also enrich the population of Fuzhou, Linzhou, Suzhou, and Fengzhou, which can be described as a win-win situation. ”

Chen Hong pondered for a while, suddenly slapped the armrest of the throne, and said: "This plan is really good, I didn't expect this Cui Wenqing to be so good and able to think of such a clever plan." ”

"What the official said is good." Wang Anshi nodded in affirmation, and said, "And more importantly, at present, Mingjiao is a very serious disaster in the Jiangnan Province, and there are countless people who are demagogic and ignorant, if it cannot be effectively controlled, maybe Jiangnan Province will have a lot of turmoil. ”
