In particular, the Chang'an Prefecture suffered the most from the drought, but because the local government responded in a very timely manner and took very perfect measures, the grain production in the entire Guanzhong area was reduced to a minimum under the drought situation.

On the one hand, because Sun Jue has been the prefect of Chang'an Mansion for several years, with the assistance of the three sages Zongze, Zhang Shuye and Cai Xuan, the annual grain output of the entire Chang'an Mansion is not only self-sufficient, but even able to feed the shortage of other food in the northwest.

In addition, on the one hand, the death of Song Shenzong and the death of the two war maniacs in Western Xia one after another indirectly caused the Song-Xia border to temporarily enter a very rare period of peace for several years, which also made the food consumption of the border army in the northwest region reach the lowest peak during the reign of Song Shenzong.

This is not the result of Sima Guang's concedion to the four villages of the Western Xia State to make the two countries fight, but because the political situation of the Western Xia Kingdom itself has changed.

However, since the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, the Central Plains region, especially the Gyeonggi region, has suffered many disasters. And Guanzhong and the northwest region had just recovered a little under Sun Jue's rule, in order to no longer let these two places rely on Bianliang City to deliver food to them. Therefore, Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu also temporarily postponed the disposal of Cai Xuan, Zong Ze and Zhang Shuye, these three centrist petty officials known as the 'Three Sages of Guanzhong'.

Although Sun Jue had already returned to his hometown in the eighth year of Yuanfeng, before he left, he also recommended a very suitable new prefect for Chang'an Mansion to take the helm.

This person is the third child of Yongqiu Han's Eight Dragons - Han Jiang, the word Zihua, the second year of Qingli Jinshi and the first, high school Tanhua, and this subject can be described as a gathering of talents, the champion Hefei Yang Huan, who died young, the second place on the list is Wang Qi, the fourth place is Cai Dao's grandfather Wang Anshi, and there is a fellow villager of Cai Dao, whose talent is not inferior to Shen Kuo, and his political ability is better than Shen Kuo's, he is Su Song.

As soon as Song Shenzong succeeded to the throne, he worshiped Han Jiang as the privy deputy envoy, and Xining worshiped him as the governor for three years, but because he also opposed the change of law, so, not long after, he was dismissed as a magistrate, and he knew many state capitals, until the sixth year of Yuanfeng, he went out of Luoyang Mansion, which was considered stable for a few years.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for Sun Jue's recommendation for him to be appointed as the prefect of Chang'an Mansion, Han Jiang would have to face the hundreds of thousands of hungry people in Hedong last year.

Han Jiangren is old and sophisticated, and naturally knows that his ability to govern the local area is not better than Sun Jue, so as soon as he took office, he simply came to a Xiao Gui Cao Sui, and let the three sages of Guanzhong do whatever he wanted, he only needed to send people to keep an eye on some other officials and small officials.

After he took office, there was one thing that Sun Jue could not compare, that is, the deterrent power of grassroots officials, starting from his father Han Yi, Yongqiu Han was well-known in the imperial court. The Great Song Zaifu, either Han is Lu, Lu refers to the descendants of Lu Yijian, but Han refers not to the Xiangzhou Han family, but to the Yongqiu Han family. Han Yi's eight sons, although not all of them have become Zaifu, but these eight people are also extremely capable.

Protégés and old officials are all over the world, how dare the officials and junior officials who are on errands under Han Jiang make a mistake? Even the judge of Chang'an Mansion did not dare to use his identity as a judge to provoke Han Jiang easily.

However, the political turmoil in the first year of Yuanyou still affected the Han family. Han Wei, who was the same prime minister as Cai Cheng before, that is, Han Jiang's fourth brother, did not enter Beijing as written in the history books of later generations, and was appointed as a servant.

At this point, the entire Han family felt strange, Han Jiang has been an official outside, and he doesn't know what his fourth brother thinks.

However, Han Jiang's fifth brother Han Zhen was ordered to enter Beijing at this time, and was promoted to the right servant of Shangshu and the servant of Zhongshu, and became one of the driving forces behind Cai Qu's demotion to Lingnan.

This time, in the face of the sudden severe drought on Guanzhong and Jingxi roads, Cai Xuan, who has been supervising the Beiluohe area, has been particularly prominent. Previously, Cai Xuan governed the Beiluo River according to the method given to him by Cai Dao, but in order to minimize the degree of soil erosion in the Beiluo River Basin, he had to occupy part of the fertile fields on both sides of the Beiluo River to plant pasture and trees.

In this way, the results in a short period of time will naturally not be as good as those in the Wei and Jing River basins, which are managed by Zong Ze and Zhang Shuye, and the grain output in these two river basins has always been nearly 30 percent higher than that of the Beiluo River basin.

However, this time, Shaanxi Road was affected by such a big drought, because the soil and water conservation of the Beiluo River is very good, the grain production in this area has indeed decreased, but the alfalfa and jujube and chestnut trees planted on both sides of the Beiluo River have provided additional food for the people. It has made up for some of the shortfalls caused by the reduction in grain production.

The comprehensive management of the region, so that the people no longer rely solely on the grain in the land to plan, is the fundamental reason why Cai Dao asked Cai Xuan to abandon the fertile soil on both sides of the Beiluo River.

The alfalfa grown can be used to feed chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, and once the people are able to replenish their meat with large quantities, they will be able to drastically reduce their food intake.

In fact, people in later generations understand this principle, if there are two taels of oil in the stomach, who can eat seventeen or eighteen steamed buns in one meal!

This is especially true of woody foods, which are inherently more resistant to natural disasters than herbaceous foods, and moreover, woody foods grow for many years, while herbaceous foods are annual plants.

Because even future generations cannot avoid all kinds of natural disasters, so obtaining food that can replace herbaceous food crops from various channels is the real way for the people at the bottom to get rid of the fact that the small-scale peasant economy is prone to collapse immediately because of a natural disaster.

With such a political achievement, even Han Jiang, a well-informed old man, felt amazing.

At this time, even the two political rookies, Zong Ze and Zhang Shuye, who have always been arrogant, were impressed by Cai Xuan. Because before, Cai Xuan's political achievements were really far from the two.

This time, the area where the Chang'an region sends the most grain to other regions in the northwest has naturally become the Beiluo River Basin.

For this reason, Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu had to cover their noses to add an official to Cai Xuan.

Speaking of which, the conservative members of the central government in Beijing, led by Wen Yan Bojing and Lu Gongzhu, all felt blushing, because most of the chief officials of the prefecture and county on Jingxi Road were officials of their conservative line, but their performance in this drought was really poor.

It is no wonder that this time, the people of Gyeongseo-ro were able to enter the Gyeonggi area.

Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu did this, firstly, to save the face of the officials of the entire conservative system, although it was a normal situation for the people to flee from the famine when they encountered disasters, but in order to prevent too many people from dying on Jingxi Road, they let them go.

Second, it is to save the food consumed along the way when transporting grain. The people of Jingxi Road went to the Gyeonggi area by themselves, which naturally saved this part of the loss. Moreover, the fact that the relief food is placed in the Gyeonggi region, that is, under their noses, also blocks the possibility of those who want to work on it. Secondary damage to these victims was avoided.

The damage to the disaster was temporarily contained, but one of the Zaisuke, who had been struggling to support themselves in the center, could no longer hold on.

In the third year of Yuanyou, Lu Gongzhu died of illness within a few days of abdication.

After dealing with the drought, Lu Gongzhu took the initiative to hand over the fold and asked the Empress Dowager Gao Tao to resign. This time, Gao Taotao had to approve this recital. Because, this recital was written by Lu Gong on the sickbed.

Lu Gongzhu has always been responsible for Wen Yanbo, in the first year of Yuanyou, Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, a pair of old enemies, both had a history, but left the mess of the Great Song Dynasty to the two of them.

To be honest, I really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are.

Those literati and Confucian scholars of later generations commented on how the Empress Dowager Gao Tao was diligent and thrifty and honest during the eight years of Yuanyou's reign, and they all said that during this period, the politics were relatively clear and the economy was also very prosperous. Moreover, it was also commented that these eight years were also the last period of the Great Song Dynasty's strong state: economic prosperity, well-off in the world, and political clarity.

In fact, these words, in the time and space where there was no Cai Dao, were not wrong. The conservatives repealed the new law, and the politics of the Great Song Dynasty were put back on track.

Resting and recuperating with the people is a common feature of the so-called great rule of the world.

To put it bluntly, it's three words - don't toss.

When Song Shenzong was in power, he was too capable of tossing, he didn't have any ability himself, and his will was not very firm, but he liked to keep tossing.

Before Wang Anshi's first resignation, Wang Anshi stepped down, and Song Shenzong immediately let the conservatives and the reformers attack each other, and the ministers of these two factions attacked each other, and Song Shenzong himself had no military strategy, nor did he have the vision to see people, and he had been reckless, which greatly lost the national strength, people's power and military strength of the Great Song Dynasty, and made the Great Song Dynasty, an economically developed country, laugh in all directions.

In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made virtuous use of energy and deployed troops in all directions, but what was the result? Attacking everything and conquering the battle is invincible, that is called the Quartet.

And Song Shenzong, who knows no one clearly, specializes in mediocre generals, and specializes in Western Xia, what is the result? If you don't conquer the battle, you won't win, and that can only be called a humiliating Quartet.
