Zhao Zhen was very concerned about the situation in Hebei, and arranged for all the capable generals, in addition to Fan Zhongyan, he also sent Fan Zhen as a deputy envoy to assist in disaster relief matters. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This Fan Town is not simple, eleven years ago, people were admitted to the champion, the Zhiyuan Academy, known for its outspokenness, and can easily spray the emperor's face to spit stars.

Encountering this kind of stunned brother, Zhao Zhen was also helpless, so he had to let him go to Chenzhou, Fan Zhen just arrived, there was a famine in the place, Fan Zhen borrowed money everywhere, raised 30,000 stone of grain, lent it to the people, saved countless people, became famous for a while, and was transferred back to the capital, after returning to Beijing, he several times, suggested that Zhao Zhen should be the prince early, which provoked the emperor.

Lao Tzu is only in his early forties, and he is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, can he give birth to a son, can he use his subordinates to dictate?

Zhao Zhen was annoyed by Fan Zhen, but he couldn't help him, and it happened that there was a bigger famine in Hebei, so he kicked Fan Zhen to Hebei. This Lord Fan is still dedicated.

After he took office, he immediately ran around, borrowed money and grain from large households, and solved the problems of the victims.

He worked hard for half a month, only got 5,000 yuan and 300 stone grain, and even the victims of the Daimyo Mansion couldn't be dismissed, how could he be embarrassed!

The merchants of the family in Hebei also said that they had long been exhausted, and the harvest in the fields was halved by heavy floods for two consecutive years, and a lot of grain was taken out in order to relieve the victims.

Now we only have food rations at home, if Lord Fan wants to starve us to death, take the food away!

In the face of a group of hob meat, Fan Zhen had no choice.

His disaster relief operation was unsuccessful, but Fan Zhongyan just strictly banned alcohol, and then the food continued, and hundreds of thousands of victims survived. is also surnamed Fan, why is the gap so big!

Fan Zhen even had the heart to visit the "family" and ask for advice.

While he was thinking about it, someone suddenly reported that it was Li Zhongshi, the chief bookkeeper of Qingxian County, who came to ask for a meeting.

The dignified deputy envoy of the transfer, and the county master's book, how many levels are there in the middle, can you see Fan Zhen?

Not to mention, Fan Zhen not only saw him, but also personally greeted him and invited Li Zhongshi to the living room, which seemed very intimate.

This Li Zhongshi is the one who was the one who was Chen Zhizhong Baoju and supervised the repair of the Liuta River with Zheng Xiang. Zheng Xiang committed suicide in fear of crime, Xia Zhu pushed everything to cut corners, as one of the two major supervisors, Li Zhongshi could not escape the blame, but Xia Zhu's death was too wonderful, and the court couldn't bear to deal with it excessively, so as not to hurt Xia Xianggong's name of loving the people, even so, Li Zhongshi was also transferred from a middle-level official to the master book of Wupin, and the taste from heaven to hell was really uncomfortable.

At the beginning, he and Fan Zhen were both Chen Zhizhong's disciples, and their friendship was not bad, and when the two old friends reunited, they naturally had endless words.

Fan Zhen was very enthusiastic and prepared four side dishes, and the wine was gone, so he could only drink tea.

"Please don't blame me, brother, I'll do it first as respect." Fan Zhen took the initiative to make a cup of tea, and Li Zhongshi hurriedly accompanied him, and the two chatted while eating.

Li Zhongshi smiled and said, "Brother Jingren, you are really frugal, and you usually only have four dishes?" ”

Fan Zhen's old face flushed, "Don't hide it from my brother, there are usually only two dishes, the country is in a difficult situation, and the lives of the people are hanging by a thread, I really can't bear to eat and drink." ”

"Brother Jingren really loves the people like a son, but it's a pity, there are too few good officials like Brother Jingren in the Great Song Dynasty." Lieutenant Master Li deliberately shook his head exaggeratedly and sighed, full of admiration.

It's Fan Zhen, and he can't stand it.

"I can only eat a little less and drink a little less, but there is no way to save the people, compared to Fan Xianggong, I am really ashamed of myself, I am ashamed of myself!"

Seeing that Fan Zhen took the initiative to mention Fan Zhongyan, Li Zhongshi was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything immediately, the two continued to chat for a while, and Li Zhongshi said seemingly casually: "Brother Jingren doesn't have to blame himself, the disaster in Hebei is already a lack of skills, and no one can do it." ”

Fan Zhen put down the teacup and said dissatisfiedly: "How can you say that, Fan Xianggong has strategized and won a decisive victory, isn't this raising so much food, and hundreds of thousands of people regard Fan Xianggong as a Buddha of ten thousand families, how can you say that there is no skill in returning to heaven?" ”

Li Zhongshi pondered for a long time, as if he had made a great determination.

"Brother Jingren, why are you still confused? I ask you, can food come out of nowhere? ”

"Of course not."

"That's it!" Li Zhongshi said: "The grain of the imperial court, the righteous warehouses in various places, purchased from other places, no matter how it comes, there is always a way for the grain." Brother Jingren, as the deputy envoy of transshipment, doesn't he know how much grain comes in? ”

Fan Zhen's face finally changed, and he said in a low voice: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly!" ”

"Let's just say it, it's clear that Fan Zhongyan's grain is from Liao!"

"Impossible!"

Fan Zhen slapped the table, stood up suddenly, and shook his head angrily.

"You are not allowed to slander Fan Xianggong, besides, the food in Liao is not enough to eat, how can it be taken out to help the people of the Great Song Dynasty, it is just a joke, I don't believe it, I definitely don't believe it."

Fan Zhen's temper was notoriously stinky, and as soon as he saw that Li Zhongshi was talking nonsense, he turned his head and didn't bother to look at him. That clearly means why don't you get out of here.

After all, Lieutenant Master Li had been a senior official, and smiled coldly, "Brother Jingren, do you remember back then?" Fan Zhongyan and his gang wanted to collude with the Liao State and set up a new monarch. Food will not come out of thin air, if Fan Zhongyan and Liao secretly communicate with each other, Liao will take grain, Fan Zhongyan will buy people's hearts, accumulate strength, and then do the abolition, I am afraid that it will not be difficult. I, Zhongshi Li, have been demoted to a small official, and the court is disturbed, it has nothing to do with me, I just can't bear to see the Great Song Dynasty Jiangshan in danger, so I risked death to come forward and tell Brother Jingren about the matter, I really can't imagine that even Brother Jingren was blinded by Fan Zhongyan, so the Great Song Dynasty is in danger! ”

After finishing speaking, Li Zhongshi hugged his fists and said goodbye, leaving only Fan Zhen alone.

secretly said that Li Zhongshi's Fan Zhen didn't believe it, but after careful consideration, there was some truth.

A few years ago, it was indeed rumored that Fu Bi sent Shi Jie to collude with the Liao State to set up a new monarch, although many people said that this was the gentlemen of Xia Zhu who harmed Qingli, and it was made out of nothing, but it was groundless, and it may not be without a cause!

In fact, the most confusing thing is the food, calm down and think about it, all possible channels, there is not enough food to pour in, but Fan Zhongyan is like a trick, every critical moment, he gets food, I really can't help but doubt.

Fan Zhen has been a counselor, and his duty is to find trouble everywhere, pick bones in eggs, and like to think about the bad in everything. If you really got grain from Liao, it would be extraordinary!

There is not much food in Liao, but they can take out more than 100,000 stones and give them to Fan Zhongyan, they must have something to hope for, what do they want to do? Could it really be that with the help of the power of the Liao State, he would do something to abolish the establishment?

The more Fan Zhen thought about it, the more confused he became, and he couldn't sleep for three days.

A strong sense of justice and responsibility drove Lord Fan to take action.

He scattered his manpower to strictly inspect the Song-Liao border, not to mention, let him find out some clues, as the boundary river of Song-Liao, this year's Baigou River has become extraordinarily wide after accommodating the Yellow River.

The weather was cold, and the Baigou River was covered with a thick layer of ice, which was enough to bear the weight of the chariots and horses.

Every night, there are horse-drawn carts carrying grain from the north side of the Baigou River to the south side.

At first, Cangzhou was just Yaochi elixir, but later things were rich, whale meat, candles, soap, furniture, accessories, as long as they could be exchanged for food, they were all sold.

Xu Jie actually felt the taste, Li Wujian simply set a trap, in order to get food from himself, but Xu Jie didn't expect that all the food would fall into the hands of the victims. He just felt that the Great Song Dynasty was short of grain, the price of grain was soaring, and on the black market, grain was more expensive than people, which smart businessman didn't want to take the opportunity to get rich!

If you get rich, I will get rich.

There is only Cangzhou left in Yaochi Qiong Jelly, soap, candles, and exquisite sugar, all of which are very popular with the nobles of the Liao State, and every time he trades, Xu Jie can make several times the huge profit.

The two sides were trading happily like this, but they didn't expect that a "warrior" was leading men and horses to kill with great momentum.

The people sent by Fan Zhen finally found out that the two sides of Song and Liao were indeed trading through the river.

"What a daring!"

Fan Zhen gritted his teeth, Fan Zhongyan, Fan Zhongyan, you pretend to be a famous minister, at this time, you actually fornicate with Liaoguo, whether you want to abolish the establishment or make huge profits, you shouldn't do it!

Let's just let the old man get rid of a big evil for the sake of the world and seek justice for the people of Hebei.

Fan Zhen was afraid of alarming Fan Zhongyan, so he used the excuse of inspecting the place and surveying the victims, and transferred 1,500 people from Qingzhou. These people didn't know what Fan Zhen was going to take, Lord Fan took them around, and the seemingly chaotic route was actually getting closer and closer to the boundary river.

That night, Fan Zhen suddenly gathered all the people and, under the guidance of the guide, went straight to the trading area on the ice.

Fan Zhen stood on the horse, he was full of ambition, so he asked the old man to single-handedly destroy the evil smuggling transaction and tear off Fan Zhongyan's hypocritical face!

……

The people are getting closer and closer to the trading area, and today it is Li Wujian who is in charge of escorting, there are more than 500 jars of fine wine, as well as many candles and whale oil, all of which are things that Liao likes to do.

He roughly estimated that he could exchange 10,000 stone of grain, and there was still more than half a month before the year, and if he was busy a few times, the people affected by the disaster would be able to eat a meal of dumplings.

There are dumplings for the New Year!

While thinking about it, someone suddenly came rushing over.

"Oh no, someone has killed me!"

"Huh?" Li Wujian was shocked, "Which people and horses are they, are they soldiers of the Liao State, they want to eat black and eat black?" "In a hurry, I can't care about using the wrong words.

The brother who delivered the letter shook his head, "It doesn't seem to be, the centaurs are from our side." ”

Li Wujian suddenly shouted that it was not good, Wang Ningan said again and again, there would be no Song soldiers to interfere, since he appeared, he was definitely not Wang Ningan's person.

Smuggling with Liaoguo privately, it can be big or small, if you don't say it, you can't stop it! Zhou revealed the news, and a large group of people were unlucky,

While speaking, Li Wujian had already heard the sound of horses' hooves, and he was really anxious, "What are you still doing in a daze, light the fire!" Burned, burned! ”
