After arriving in Hebei, Fan Zhongyan knew how bad the situation was, the people's strength was withering, the imperial court stocks were exhausted, and there was no food on all sides.

At least last year, Wang Ze rebelled with the Manichimingists, and he could still grab food, but this year he couldn't get anything, only a group of helpless refugees. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Ningan is not afraid to speculate on the court with the worst malice, maybe the court is looking forward to a big chaos, and then take the opportunity to kill, reduce the number of people, and survive the disaster year, this kind of thing has not been done in the Great Song Dynasty. The uprising of Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun in the early Song Dynasty was like this, which made Sichuan unable to recover for decades.

If Hebei is far away from the Liao State and is blocked by lofty mountains and mountains, maybe the Great Song Dynasty can also copy it, but at present, there is pressure from the Liao State outside Hebei, and there are millions of displaced people inside, and they can't even kill people, so they can only do their best to help.

It is true that Fan Zhongyan is talented, but in the face of this situation, the old minister is also spread with his hands, and he has no choice but to try his best to mend it, pray that there will be no big mess, and it will be good to recover slowly.

Lao Fan couldn't imagine that Wang Ning'an, a ghost talent, fell from the sky, and there was no way to get out of the way, and there was no way to find a way!

The first batch of 100 jars of Yaochi elixir was exchanged for 1,000 stone of grain, and one jar of wine was equal to ten stone of grain.

The most amazing thing is that both sides think they have taken advantage of it.

According to the price of 800 Wen Yishi, it is lower than the previous price of wine, although it costs some effort to smuggle grain, but Xu Jie still shouted lucky, made a lot of money, and after going back, he immediately mobilized more grain, and sent it all.

Xu Jie has an account, and there is also an account here, the wine yield of Yaochi agar is about 30%, that is, 300 catties of grain, 100 catties of wine, 100 jars are only 1000 wine, and the consumption of grain is less than 30 stones, that is to say, 970 stones!

Of course, I won't say that to the outside world, Yaochi elixir, the world's first wine, the process is cumbersome, the cost is huge, why do you need 300 stones to make 100 jars, Lao Tzu shouldn't make a little money?

The smuggling began in mid-November, and by the end of November, in half a month, 50,000 stone of grain was transported from Liao, but the Great Song Dynasty only paid 5,000 jars of Yaochi elixir.

Seeing this result, even Fan Xianggong couldn't sit still, and rubbed his hands back and forth excitedly.

50,000 stone of grain!

According to the experience of the old minister, a person's life-saving food, can not be less than three taels a day, converted, 50,000 stone can feed 1 million people, of course, this is the ideal state, after all, the transportation and distribution process, as well as consumption, plus the cold weather, the amount of food is relatively large, can only be a half, but that is also 500,000 people.

If you add the relief of the imperial court and the whale meat that was caught, millions of displaced people have a way to live!

Ouyang Xiu always said that Wang Ning'an has a ghost talent, and when I saw it today, I realized that Ouyang Xiu's evaluation was low, this kid is simply an unpredictable opportunity, turning the impossible into a possibility, it is really amazing.

Fan Zhongyan is relieved, he is old, there are not many good days, the Qingli New Deal failed, the disadvantages of the Great Song Dynasty have not been cleared at all, on the contrary, it has intensified, this time the Yellow River burst is a warning, it seems to be full of flowers, cooking oil in the fire, in fact, the inside of the Great Song Dynasty has been empty, and even a little disaster can not afford it.

If we do not change the law and innovate, I am afraid that the day of the death of the country is not far away.

No one is more sober than Fan Zhongyan, but at such times, sobriety means greater pain.

The old minister was really worried that no one would be able to carry the banner of changing the law, but now that he saw Wang Ningan and the Six Arts Academy, he suddenly ignited hope.

Maybe the future of the Great Song Dynasty lies in these young people!

And what they want to do is to shelter young people from the wind and rain, so that they have enough room to grow, so it seems that Uncle Ouyang Yong has taken the right step.

Fan Zhongyan stood at the window, thinking wildly, his heart surging.

Suddenly, he saw Fan Chunli, who came back in a daze, covered in mud, like a little ghost.

The old man's face immediately sank, the Fan family's tutoring was the strictest, where could the child be so formless.

"Yaofu, call your third brother."

Fan Chunren hurriedly said: "Ah, third brother, he is still in the school, my father wants to see him, I will go to him." ”

"When I'm blind? Didn't he just come back! Immediately let him roll over for me, a little later, the family law will serve! ”

This time, Fan Chunren had no choice but to run over, and after a while, he brought the embarrassed Fan Chunli over. Fan Sangongzi lowered his head, not daring to look at his father, like a child who had made a mistake, in fact, he had really made a mistake.

When he got closer, Fan Zhongyan saw clearly that his son was not only covered in mud, but his clothes were also scratched, one by one, and the same was true of the white gauze in the middle, and even a few places hurt the skin, oozing a trace of blood, flowing through sweat, and grinning in pain.

Fan Zhongyan slapped the table, "Rebel, you are also a gentleman in the school, and you are a teacher, are you like this?" It's so disappointing for my father! You, you kneel down for me, Yaofu, quickly take the family law of the father! ”

Dad wanted to beat someone, Fan Chunli looked at the second brother pleadingly, Fan Chunren gritted his teeth, and said with courage: "Dad, the third brother also has a hidden secret, just raise your noble hand and spare him!" ”

"Secrets?"

In the past, Fan Zhongyan didn't bother to listen, remembering the scene on the dock, there are many things like that, there are reasons on both sides, and the reason meets the reason, so I don't know what the result is......

Lao Fan pondered for a while, "Say it, see if you can convince your father!" ”

Daddy changed sex? Fan Chunli secretly called for luck and hurriedly explained the reason.

It is said that after Lao Fan strictly banned alcohol, the horse farm in Wild Wolf Valley became very eye-catching, and the consumption of a horse was worth dozens of people, could it be that horses were more expensive than people? In order to save people, the consumption of the horse farm should be reduced, right?

Those turbans who read stupidly and have ulterior motives will surely attack in a big way, completely ignoring the importance of war horses to the empire.

Wang Ningan didn't bother to compete with these people, he came up with a good way, the first batch of foals in the Wild Wolf Valley Horse Farm was born in the eighth year of Qingli, and now, it is more than a year old, and some basic training can be carried out, the process will last for two or three years, and after the age of four or five, it can be handed over to the cavalry to continue to explore and train, and then it can run rampant.

Even if you are a traverser, you can't change the laws of biology, today you talk about developing cavalry, tomorrow you will have thousands of troops, that's a dream!

But fortunately, everything is on the right track, more than a year of foals, it is the most lively and jubilant time, Wang Ningan told the teachers and students of the Six Arts Academy that in order to reduce the pressure on the horse farm, they can adopt a part of the foal.

It's cheaper than ever.

They are responsible for the forage, and they have to put the horses and wash them regularly every day, and they do all this work, and after two years, the foals have grown, and they have the opportunity to buy one, and they have the opportunity to buy one, and they have the opportunity to buy one, and if the military is urgent, ordinary people can't buy it.

After listening to Fan Chunli's narration, Fan Zhongyan snorted, "If you understand it correctly, you have to pay money, work hard, and accompany you to train, and in the end, you may not get a war horse, which is also called cheap?" What the hell are you trying to do? ”

"Picture, picture!" Fan Chunli said boldly.

"What's the pleasure?"

Fan Chunli peeked at his father, and saw that Fan Zhongyan was quite calm, so he said boldly: "Dad, raising horses is a university question, from breeding, to feeding, to selection, training, the difficulty is no less than training an official." My Great Song Dynasty is too many laymen, don't take the war horse seriously, so that the horse government is wasted, there is no cavalry to help, we can't even beat the Western Xia, and we have to pay the New Year's coin, which is a great shame! ”

Fan Chunli unconsciously puffed up his chest, looked directly at his father, and forgot to be afraid.

"What does Daddy ask the child about? The child went to see the war horse every day, gave it food, accompanied it to train, and could ride the war horse and run a few laps. ”

Fan Chunli looked down at the tattered clothes on his body, which were obviously scratched when he was riding a horse.

"The child understands the habits of the horse, and in the future, he will be fortunate enough to enter the army, and he will know how to train a cavalry, even if the child does not have this luck, I also understand what is called Jin Ge Iron Horse, what is called Riding and Archery! Dad, our Song people are no worse than the Khitans, they are just war horses! ”

Lao Fan was moved by his son's words, he once put forward the idea of "repairing military equipment", but it was failed because of the failure of the new deal, these years, Fan Zhongyan meditated, and couldn't find a way, he couldn't think of it, what the ruler couldn't do, the little Wang Ning'an was already doing it, let me ask the teachers and students who went out of the Six Arts Academy in the future, everyone understands horse nature, everyone knows how to build a strong cavalry, once they are in charge of the imperial court, are they still worried about the military equipment of the Great Song Dynasty?

It turns out that changing the law is not enough from the top-down decree, but from the bottom up, focusing on the small things, and accumulating little by little, so that the melons can be ripe and fruitful.

"Hey, Wang Erlang, the old man doesn't come for many days, and you give me a lot of lessons!"

It is rare that Fan Zhongyan did not blame his son, on the contrary, he also took out half of the rice and handed it to Fan Chunren and Fan Chunli.

The two guys were simply flattered and couldn't believe it.

"Dad, didn't you let us take an eagle and walk the dog and learn from those gentlemen?"

Fan Zhongyan glared, "Father told you, this is to let you learn skills, you two brothers adopt a pony, study carefully, you must learn real skills, if you fail the riding assessment, you will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination!" Do you understand? ”

The two brothers were surprised and delighted, and ran to the racecourse in a puff of smoke.

Fan Zhongyan and Wang Ning'an, one is upright, only a little extraordinary, one is full of wisdom, the sword goes to the front, but it is also cooperative, just like the dragon slayer knife and the sword of Yitian, the two people join forces, the sword is combined, plus Bao Zheng, Ouyang Xiu, and Jia Changchao, a large number of cadres and ministers, work together, although the victims of Hebei are difficult, but little by little to survive the cold winter, as long as they can survive until next spring, it is the beginning of a resurrection.
