Chapter 010: Fooled
"Everyone is misunderstood! When I say that the thief captures the king first, I mean that we must grasp the root of the problem. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Seeing that everyone was looking at him and not speaking, Lu Xiaoyu cleared his throat and continued: "Now when it is delayed, it is not whether the imperial court can allocate the grain money, the so-called giving people fish is better than giving people fish. Even now that there is food, it can solve the urgent need for a while. But what if there is a famine every year? No matter how rich the country is, I think it will be dragged down by Henan. Instead of dragging the country back, it is better for us to strengthen ourselves and develop the new continent on our own. ”
In fact, in the past few days outside Kaifeng City, Lu Xiaoyu has already thought about it. He couldn't sleep alone at night, so he tortured how to make the people of Henan rich. At present, there is a famine in Henan every year, mainly because the population is too dense, there are many people, and no matter how much food there is, there is not enough food to eat. Where should so many people go? Lu Xiaoyu thought of a place, maybe it could solve the urgent needs of the people in Henan now.
"The New World? Brother Lu, do you mean reclaiming wasteland? It's just that Henan has a large population, and there is no fertile land to cultivate. Li Mi also knows that with a large population, it is far from enough to rely on grain money, but there is no undeveloped fertile land that can be used for farming.
"Let's see." As he spoke, Lu Xiaoyu picked up a branch and drew a few circles on the ground. Everyone went up to watch.
"Mo Fei, Brother Lu is going to the land of Wu Yue. This place is sparsely populated, and it is full of uncivilized Shanyue people, so you can't go. Li Mi seemed to see Lu Xiaoyu's thoughts.
What Lu Xiaoyu is thinking about these days is to go to the Jiangnan area, which is the land of Wuyue in that era. That is more than a thousand years later, the country's most prosperous economic lifeline, if you become the first person to develop Wu Yue, it will be famous for centuries, leave a name through the ages, think about it is beautiful. In the future, it is magnificent to build high-rise buildings, develop industry, engage in the real economy, carry out port trade, connect with overseas, and become the hub of the world.
Lu Xiaoyu confidently talked about the history of the Jiangnan region: "The land of Wuyue is vast and sparsely populated; Rice and fish are the main foods, and people can also collect plant fruits and shellfish from the mountains for food; set fire to the wasteland and cultivate the paddy fields; There is no need for merchants to sell goods, there are no very wealthy people. It is precisely because of such an innocent environment that it is suitable for us to reclaim and develop. Moreover, I am confident that it will be the most prosperous place in Nanchu and even the whole world in the future! Lu Xiaoyu excitedly told everyone about his imagination.
Everyone was enthusiastic and eager to try. Only Li Mi was silent, lost in thought. Li Mi thought in his heart that the land of Wuyue was the fief of Xiong Hui, the king of Wuyue, he was kind-hearted and won the hearts of the people, and he was the strongest among the princes back then, if it weren't for ....... Perhaps, Southern Chu would not be so passively invaded by the Yi people in the north. It is indeed a good thing that the displaced people in Henan can be sheltered by him, I don't know if the emperor will agree.
"Master Li, do you think there is something wrong with this matter?" Lu Xiaoyu was worried that Li Mi would refuse this proposal, and it would be difficult to do.
Brother Lu said every word, and the old man also felt that he could give it a try, not only to develop new soil, but also to solve the problems of Henan, killing two birds with one stone. However, the imperial court stipulated that the place of origin could not be easily changed, and the people of Henan did not move to live elsewhere casually. Li Mi replied, I won't talk to Lu Xiaoyu about King Wu Yue.
Everyone sighed, Lu Xiaoyu did not give up and continued to think of a way to reverse it.
Li Mi saw that everyone was in a bad mood and said: "The old man is not only here to comfort the people, but also to ask Yin for guilt like Kaifeng Mansion. This Jia Qin relied on himself to be the uncle of the country, and he was a villager in Kaifeng, regardless of the life or death of the people. I must arrest him today and go to see the emperor. Ladies and gentlemen, I will come as soon as I go, and we will plan together later. Saying that, he said goodbye first, and rushed into Kaifeng City angrily.
When the officers and soldiers in the city saw that it was Lord Qincha sent by the imperial court, they did not dare to stop it, so they had to let him go. The people around him were about to rush in.
"Everyone be quiet, this official is sent by the emperor to comfort you, my name is Li Mi, I think you should have heard the name of the next, I was also born in Henan, I know that you are all disaster victims, this time I came to help you get through the difficulties, and today I will Kaifeng Mansion Yin give everyone a justice." As a veteran of the Three Dynasties, Li Mi also had a lot of prestige among the masses, and was known as Li Mi in a timely manner, and many of the policies for benefiting the people promulgated by the imperial court were formulated and implemented by Li Mi.
The people stopped making noise and made a way for Li Mi to enter Kaifeng City, hoping that this timely rain would bring them a satisfactory result.
In Kaifeng City, someone informed Fu Yin early that Li Mi had entered the city. This Jia Qin can sit on Kaifeng Mansion Yin, and he is not really a waste. He had already arranged a good show and waited for Li Mi to drill this trap.
I saw that he was wearing a patched official uniform, moved his residence to a thatched hut, removed the maid's house, and was grinding beans by himself.
Seeing Li Mi coming to the door, Jia Qin wiped his sweat profusely, and said with a smile: "Prime Minister Li Cheng has come all the way, and the lower officials have missed the welcome, and they hope to forgive their sins." Xiaguan has already ground fresh soy milk, and invited adults to taste it. As he spoke, he put a bowl of soy milk in front of Li Mi's eyes.
Li Mi originally came to Xingshi to ask about the guilt, but when he saw this scene, he didn't know what to do. He felt that he had fallen for Jachin's tricks, and this must be his show. He waved his right hand, "I won't drink soy milk, Master Jia, I'm asking you on behalf of the imperial court." Why did you turn away tens of thousands of people? ”
"Lord Li really loves the people like a son, and as soon as he came, he was worried about the food and clothing of the people. But I, Jia, am not a hard-hearted person. Hateful, I have always been clean and self-conscious, and I also taught my subordinates not to be corrupt, so in Kaifeng Mansion, there are no people who are extremely rich, and this year it is not good to collect CDs everywhere in Henan, and there are more than 100,000 displaced people in Henan. This is also for my own selfishness, caring for the people in our Kaifeng Mansion and protecting their interests, so I did not open the city gate to let the exiles in, if more than 100,000 people ran to Kaifeng to take refuge together, it is really unimaginable. If you want to be punished, punish me. I, Jia Qin, Kaifeng the people for me, are worth dying. Saying that, it was already a handful of snot and a handful of tears.
Li Mi knew that he was completely planted, this Jia Qin played a good trick, he pretended to be honest and honest, and protected the interests of the people of Kaifeng, but he was against his own army. Let yourself be that sinner. If the exiles are released in, they will be trapped in the disaster in Kaifeng Mansion and ignore it, but what can they do with the tens of thousands of people outside? Li Mi was so anxious now that he didn't know what to do.
Jia Qin saw that Li Mi was deflated, showed a wicked smile, rolled his eyes, and said: "Lord Li, now that the disaster in Henan is serious, please also ask your Excellency to speak in front of the emperor and allocate relief funds as soon as possible to help the victims get through the difficulties!" ”
Finally showed the fox's tail, Li Mi knew that Jia Qin just wanted to show himself, so that he could intercede with the emperor and allocate disaster relief funds, and he would take advantage of the fisherman. When the time came, the people had not yet eaten enough, but they had fed him.
Li Mi was about to get angry and scold Jia Qin for stabbing both sides, when he thought of the proposal of the immigrant Wu Yue that Lu Xiaoyu had just told him. He thought about it, suppressed his anger, and said to Jia Qin, "Lord Jia, you care so much about the disaster victims, if you can solve the problem of displaced people without sending disaster relief funds, and let them live a life of food and clothing for the rest of their lives, are you willing?" ”
"Can you solve the problem without paying for food?" Jia Qin thought to himself, how could this be possible, it must be the old guy fooling me. So he put on a high posture and said: "My lord, if there is really such a good thing, I, Jia, am willing to go to the soup for the people and never give up." ”
"Lord Jia is serious, I just hope you can agree to my small request." Li Mi saw that the fish had been hooked, and secretly rejoiced in his heart.
"Don't say a small request, I'm willing to do 10,000 or 10,000. I also broke my heart for the people, I have already sold the house to help the victims, and three meals a day are to grind some tofu to eat, you see. As he spoke, he pretended to take Li Mi to visit his thatched house.
How could Li Mi not know the truth, but he didn't break it, he said: "Okay, this official is very relieved to see that Lord Jia loves the people like a son, so I also came up with a good way, I will report to the emperor and allow the people of Henan to migrate to Wuyue and reclaim new land." I also hope that Lord Jia will show his hand and write to the emperor to explain the situation and agree to the transfer of the people of Henan. ”
It's over, fooled! This time it's in the hands of the old guy! Jachin secretly complained.
