Shi Min stayed awake all night until dawn, and barely settled all the refugees, looking at the refugees huddled together in front of him, Shi Min's heart was very uncomfortable.

Suddenly, Zhang Mufeng looked into the distance and said to Shi Min: "General, sure enough, I was said by the person yesterday, and there are more and more people who have fled here!" Look! ”

Looking in the direction of Zhang Mufeng's finger, he could see refugees coming near Handan City one after another.

"General, what should I do? We can't use all this grain and grass to help the victims! Spring ploughing has just begun, and some seeds haven't fallen yet! ”

"Has the person sent to Neihuang returned?" Shi Min asked with a stern expression.

Zhang Mufeng shook his head: "Not yet!" It is estimated that I will come back around dark today at the earliest. ”

"Let Mr. Qin see how much food we have in our barracks that can be allocated! By the way, take a look at the commonly used medicinal materials, I estimate that the old and weak women and children in this refugee will inevitably get sick! ”

"Mr. Qin was already busy with these things last night! General, don't worry! ”

"Looking at this situation, I'm afraid the situation of this flood is very bad! I'm afraid we won't be able to solve the problem just by relying on our little military rations, so we have to think of other ways! Shi Min said to himself.

"I don't know if the imperial court knows about this matter now, and how it plans to deal with it!"

"When the person sent to Neihuang returns, write a letter to Your Majesty in my name explaining the situation of this flood! Then hand it over to Uncle Xu and ask him to transfer it directly to Zhang Bao and see how he reacts! ”

"Yes!"

......

In the next few days, more and more refugees gathered near Handan, and it has exceeded 100,000, which is far beyond Shi Min's imagination. Even so, there has been no news from Yecheng for a long time.

Zhang Bao sat in front of the table with a mountain of official documents, his eyes were glazed, and Wu Liang on the side said: "My lord, the floods in the past few days have been one after another, and there are refugees everywhere......

Wu Liang said, handed a letter to Zhang Bao, and said, "This is Shi Min's letter sent by the housekeeper of the Xihua Hou Mansion just now!" Your Excellency, you have seen it. ”

Zhang Bao took the letter, slowly opened it, looked at it roughly, then crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it on the ground, and said, "Shi Min is also here to join in the fun!" ”

"He's also asking adults about the flood?"

"These people really don't have a backache when they stand and talk! This is a natural disaster, how can it be solved in a single move! ”

"Weichen checked the accounts of the household department last year, and there was still grain in stock, but when he beat the Xianbei people, he was basically transferred to Liaodong, and the consumption was almost gone! In the current treasury, there is not much food to help the victims! ”

"To add insult to injury!" Zhang Bao gritted his teeth and said.

"My lord, there is something that the lower official does not know whether to say or not."

"Say!" Zhang Bao glanced at Wu Liang.

"Does Your Majesty already know about the Neihuang Flood?"

"Of course Your Majesty knows! But Your Majesty now leaves nothing and lets this official deal with it! There is a way that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the rations of these hundreds of thousands of people, where do the officials come from! ”

"What the lord said is that seeing that spring ploughing is about to begin, now is the time when the green and yellow are not harvested, and Zhao Guo's previous foundation is too thin, there is really no way!"

"We have to find a way to do this! Otherwise, the official will become a sinner in the world, and I don't know and think that the official doesn't care about the lives of those refugees! ”

"Xia Guan thinks that there is only one way to do it today!"

"What's the solution?"

"You can't get food! But we don't, the Jin country in the south has ah! You can't just spend money to buy it from them! ”

When Zhang Bao heard this, he also felt that it made sense, and frowned slightly: "But when the grain is transferred from the Jin Kingdom, I'm afraid the daylilies will be cold!" ”

"There should be grain in the granaries of each state and county, so let's deal with it first! The lower officials also took out part of the only grain and grass in the treasury, and responded to the emergency first! ”

"Hurry up and do it! If it drags on for a long time, it is inevitable that something will happen! ”

"The lower official understands ......"

"As for Shi Min, I'm afraid the official will have to reply to him personally!"

"Why do you have to give him face like this?"

"His letter is addressed to this official, not to His Majesty, what does this mean?" Zhang Bao asked.

"Shi Min may understand, the current Your Majesty doesn't care about anything, Zhao Guo is your final say! That's why he wrote to you directly. ”

Zhang Bao waved his hand and said, "No! He's reminding the official! Don't do anything transgressive. ”

"This ......"

"Okay, you don't need to worry about this, just do what you have to do!" Zhang Bao waved his hand.

"Yes......"

......

It was raining, and Shi Jian stood under the eaves, looking at the raindrops outside, and his face was a little bad.

"Your Highness, the flood in Neihuang has been going on for many days, but there has been no movement above." Gao Shangzhi said on crutches.

"Several nearby states and counties have been affected by the floods, and I heard that local officials are already leading people to repair the river embankment, but the most important thing at the moment is not only the problem of the river embankment, hundreds of thousands of people are homeless and hungry! That's all that matters! ”

"Zhang Bao's delay in allocating food and salary is not entirely his will."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Your Highness doesn't know, last year, Lao Chen was in charge of the household department for a period of time, and he still knows a lot about the grain reserves of Zhao State! In the current treasury, there is not much food to help the victims! ”

"The old thing has been poor and extravagant all his life, spending money like dirt, and ruining the foundation of Zhao State! Now he left such a mess and gave it to the cowardly Shi Shi! Shi Jian gritted his teeth hatefully and said, "But now there are ministers like Zhang Bao!" ”

"In just a few months, Zhang Bao has completely controlled the government, and now all the music is through Zhang Bao's hands, and what things he is willing to tell His Majesty are completely up to his heart!"

"But that's exactly what we expected! This Zhang Bao supported the second child in order to treat him as a puppet. Shi Jian turned around and said to Gao Shangzhi: "My lord, this flood may be an opportunity for us to start planning!" ”

Gao Shangzhi thought for a moment and asked, "What are your highness's plans?" ”

"This flood is not a trivial matter, and if you don't get it right, it will be a mess! The people don't know if there is food in the treasury, but Zhang Bao doesn't give it for a long time, then he offends the people of the world! This king wants Zhang Bao to be the culprit of this wrong, and let him confirm the crime of this traitor who misled the country and the people! In the name of Qingjun's side, implement our plan! ”

"That's a good idea!" Gao Shangzhi nodded silently, and said, "But King Ning's Mansion is weak, and it can't shake Zhang Bao at all. ”

"That's why Shi Min is needed!" Shi Jian walked into the room and said slowly, "It's time for the killer to do something!" He has been by Shi Min's side for so long, and the role he has played is too small! ”

"Is Your Highness planning to provoke a conflict between the two of them?"

"The contradiction between them already exists, and this king only needs to burn this fire a little more!" Shi Jian smiled and said, "Moreover, this is also a good opportunity for this king to win over Shi Min!" This king wants him to see that in Zhao Kingdom, there is also a sober prince! This king is the best candidate for the throne! ”

"What does Your Highness plan to do?" Gao Shangzhi asked.

Shi Jian smiled and said: "First of all, this first step is to let the words out, this king wants Zhang Bao to become the traitor referred to by Qianfu!" ”

"Lao Chen understands! It's not that hard! ”
