However, who knows, the outcome of the matter is not as expected. Song Shenzong was furious, and Shisheng secretly belittled Cai Dao, but he always refused to agree to Cai Dao's request to leave Beijing.

Fortunately, Cai Dao's plan to hide wealth and benefit the people was not abolished, and both the reformers and conservative ministers all thought that it was profitable to exchange farming cattle with the Great Liao State.

Buying grain, making fine wine, and selling it to Liao in exchange for cultivated cattle and a very small number of war horses, Cai Dao was no longer able to interfere. Moreover, only a very small number of those cattle eventually made it to the poor people. However, no matter who was in charge of this matter, the grain in the warehouse was indeed decreasing, and the number of cultivated cattle in the northern part of the Great Song Kingdom was also greatly increasing.

Therefore, even if Cai Dao was stripped out of this matter, the plan was still in progress.

In the sixth year of Yuanfeng, there was a great drought in Jinai, and the roads in Hebei suffered another locust plague.

However, with last year's Central Plains Dashu foundation, local governments have made up for the regular liquidation under the supervision of the imperial history.

Therefore, even according to Cai Dao's farming method, the land in Kinai could not be increased in the year of the great drought, and most of the ordinary people still had enough food at home to cope with the disaster year, and they also had a lot of money in their hands. Therefore, even if the land yield in Kinai is relatively severe, there is no large-scale displacement in and around Bianliang City as in previous years.

I think that at the beginning, after Cai Dao entered Beijing, he once visited Cai Qu and provided his own advice to this senior in Fujian, that is, he specially sent low-level officials belonging to different factions to areas prone to chaos, all those belonging to the conservative faction were sent to Hebei Zhulu, those belonging to the middle faction were sent to the northwest region, and all those belonging to the reform faction were sent to Hedong Road and Qilu regions, which were more prone to chaos.

At that time, Cai Qu and Zhang Dun didn't understand the true meaning of Cai Dao's suggestion, but later, when Cai did arrange officials, he still subconsciously did so according to Cai Dao's suggestion.

No one expected that after only one year, the effect would be visible.

The four regions in the world that are most prone to problems, that is, the most prone to political achievements, the northwest region, the officials of the middle faction under the leadership of Sun Jue and Su Shi have done a good job.

Hedong Road and Qilu were originally relatively barren areas, compared with Hebei region, there were more mountains and less land, but within this year, except for a few prefectures and counties, the wind and rain were smooth, and the low-level officials of the reform faction were extremely interested in promoting Cai Dao's planting technology, so these two places also achieved a bumper harvest like the northwest region.

On the contrary, the locust plague has been encountered for two consecutive years, and the situation of the people in Zhulu in Hebei can be described as worse.

Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty personally assigned Zheng Xia to transfer a batch of grain from Bianliang City to the Daimyo's Mansion by water to relieve the hungry people displaced by the locust plague.

In this way, Zheng Xia was once again sent to the front line of the Hebei Zhulu to fight the locust plague, but the final result was unsatisfactory.

When drawing the picture of the homeless people, Zheng Xia did it very handy. However, when it was his turn to deal with the problem of displaced people, this guy adopted the usual methods used by civil officials in the Great Song Dynasty in the past to deal with the victims of the disaster in Zhulu in Hebei.

The usual methods used by the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty were both simple and cruel.

First of all, they sent heavy troops to guard the borders and the city gates of various prefectures, prefectures, and counties, especially the Yellow River, so as to prevent the displaced people from entering the various cities on the roads of Hebei, and also to prevent these displaced people from crossing the Yellow River and eating in Beijing. He even united with officials up and down the roads in Hebei to deceive and conceal the subordinates, and forcefully pressed the impact of this locust plague on Hebei.

After the careful deployment of Cai Qu and Zhang Dun, almost all the chief officials of the prefectures, prefectures, and counties of Zhulu in Hebei have become conservative officials, and when they encounter this situation, even if they are not in front of Zheng Xia, they will naturally be unusually united.

The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled either died at home or on the way. It is true that the government has also distributed relief food on the road, but the amount distributed is not enough to meet all the victims, and when these relief food is distributed to local governments at all levels, it has been looted by conservative officials and local officials layer by layer, and many of them have been sold cheaply to the big grain merchants who suffered huge losses last year because of Cai Dao's interference.

As a result, the cauldron of disaster relief had been boiling with rotten relief food, but many of the displaced people died, and those who survived the locust plague were strong men who were eventually recruited into the army.

This was the method used by the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty when dealing with the displaced people.

The old method, the old method, but it is very easy to use.

There are also low-level officials of the Fa-Reform faction in Zhulu in Hebei, but most of them are not the chief officials, they know the methods of these people, and they just report the situation to their 'boss' in detail, and they just stand by coldly. The ministers of the court are naturally aware of this matter, including the 'Three Decrees Prime Minister' Wang Qi, who likes to pretend to be confused, is also very clear.

Shi Deyi, who is in charge of the Imperial City Division, although the local monitoring is not so strict, also knows about this situation. However, whether it was Shi Deyi, who was loyal, or Wang Qi, who obeyed Song Shenzong in everything, this time they were silent about what Zheng Xia and the officials of Hebei Zhulu did, and they only hid it from Song Shenzong alone.

The reason is very consistent, Shi Deyi and all the ministers do not want any large-scale exiles to enter the Gyeonggi area during their tenure, so they all watch the clumsy and ugly performance of Zheng Xia and all the officials of Hebei Zhulu.

Does Cai Dao know about this?

Naturally, he knows that he also has his own sources.

Although he also lamented the suffering of the innocent people in Zhulu in Hebei, he couldn't help it. Now he has lost the right to play to Song Shenzong. Besides, he was completely disappointed in Song Shenzong. Even if there is an important minister like Zeng Gong by his side, Cai Dao doesn't want to care about this kind of thing anymore. He also wanted this great writer to live for a few more years, at least for a few years before being demoted from Bianliang City.

In the final analysis, the people in the south and the north of the world, those are all the people under his Zhao Song rule, and they have nothing to do with Cai Dao. Cai Dao can't cross over, these damned people still have to die. The emperor was kept in the dark, the civil and military officials were not in a hurry, and the big eunuch Shi Deyi was not in a hurry, so why was he in a hurry as a seven-year-old child?

Since being taken away from his only official position, Cai Dao has become disheartened.

Since then, he has made up his mind that as long as Song Shenzong is still in power, as long as there are no problems in Xianyou County, Yizhou Island and Shuibo Liangshan, he will be silent about anything.

The people of the world have suffered a lot, and it is not the people of Hebei Zhulu who are suffering, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and all kinds of disasters are happening all the time in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, but it is not as concentrated as Hebei Zhulu.

At least, because of Cai Dao, the people in the Central Plains can basically eat a few full meals, and they do not continue to work in the fields hungry when the green and yellow are not harvested.

The lives of most of the people at the bottom are gradually getting better, and in the last three years of this Yuanfeng year, the Central Plains ushered in the third population explosion after Song Zhenzong introduced Champong rice and Song Renzong rested to support the people for 40 years.

Cai Daogang can feel the joy of the people from the surrounding people's homes, and in the past three years, almost every family has given birth to children.

Because of his several initiatives, countless people have been lived, so what is Cai Dao frustrated about?

Zheng Xia went out twice in a row, and his reputation among the officials and gentry increased greatly, but the name of the official among the heroes became a complete joke in the hearts of the people in the Jinai region and Hebei Zhulu, these two large regions.

The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people. This time, the people spontaneously sang a nursery rhyme.

The great man of chivalry is a rat, and he is an official for the country and not for the people.

Cai Dao didn't expect that Zheng Xia and others were not in Bianliang City, but they also made some trouble for him.
