Chapter 266: Go to Surabaya to soothe the hearts of the people

Lu Yan looked at the report of Surabaya County, and was quite depressed in his heart, it is late autumn now, not spring and summer, if there is no food, how can the people live in a winter, it is simply to force the people to rebel. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Imagine that the surrounding counties of Surabaya County have not been invaded by the flooded locust plague, and they are reluctant to borrow grain, because they feel that Surabaya County is a foreign county, so they do not pay attention to it, and they have to go to urge the grain in person, and inspect the surrounding counties to see if they are really affected.

Lu Yan made up his mind, so he rushed to the Xianyang Palace alone to tell about the matter, Yingzheng because Xu Fu went to sea, and put aside the matter of immortals, but he respected the real person, but because Lu Sheng and other monks couldn't catch up and couldn't kill endlessly, Lu Yan gradually became numb, and he didn't care about this kind of thing.

In the fairy palace, Yingzheng was almost in a state of slacking off on state affairs, and when he saw Lu Yan coming, he sat down to drink tea after a little salute, "Lu Aiqing, is it possible that there is something wrong?" "Words are a little lazy.

"Your Majesty, Surabaya County is short of food due to the locust plague, and the minister decided to go to transfer grain in person, I don't know what the king thinks?" Lu Yan bowed his head and said.

"Can the Nine Counties be solved some time ago?" Ying Zheng looked at Lu Yan with some curiosity, thinking that he was trying to shirk his official business and want to go out to travel, so he asked.

Lu Yan hurriedly knelt down and bowed, "The affairs of the nine counties have been perfected, and Surabaya County is also one of the original nine counties, so it has suffered the most, if you don't go to transfer food, I'm afraid the people's hearts will be unstable." ”

"Lu Aiqing is reasonable, the people's hearts are like water, this matter should be resolved as soon as possible, but are the other counties okay?" Ying Zheng asked calmly.

Hearing Ying Zheng's inquiry, Lu Yan took the opportunity to reply: "Your Majesty, the livelihood of the people in the counties is now struggling, and taxes should be reduced in order to survive the disaster year. ”

"I know what Lu Aiqing means, now the taxes are heavy, but the people can afford to pay, if there is a reduction, and then the taxes are increased, then the people will not obey, but because of this, the country will be ruined, since the counties can still live, just like this, if Lu Aiqing goes to Surabaya County, bring the eighteen with him, I see him in the palace all day long, only know how to eat, drink and have fun, and should know the people's livelihood and suffering." Ying Zheng said slowly.

Lu Yan on the other side was a little dazed, how could this be related to Gongzi Hu Hai again, after all, the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, Lu Yan had to bow down and thank him, and he didn't dare to refuse.

At this time, Hu Hai, although he went to the Xianyang Academy every day, did not learn any skills, and was a little interested, that is, to learn swordsmanship with the martial artists in the palace, that's all.

After Lu Yan left the palace, his mood was very complicated, and at this moment, Zhang Cang had been waiting in the palace for a long time, and he had not seen his master for many days, Lu Yan was also surprised.

Hurriedly instructed his entourage to prepare tea, "Master, why did your old man have the heart to come to my palace sect?" As he spoke, he handed the tea to Zhang Cang's hand.

"Now that you are in your twenties, you can also consider your marriage with Wen'er." Zhang Cang was not ambiguous, and said straight to the point.

It turned out that since Lu Jing had an heir, Mrs. Lu begged Zhang Cang every day not to delay Zhang Wen'er's marriage, after all, they are almost twenty people, and if they don't marry again, it won't be in vain to leave other people's tongues.

Zhang Cang thought to himself, and also felt that what the old lady said was reasonable, so after thinking about it, he decided to come to Lu Yan to discuss it, and the marriage was done as soon as possible, which could be regarded as fulfilling the old man's thoughts.

However, when Lu Yan heard this, he was worried in his heart, "Master, although there are no external troubles in the empire now, there are internal worries, and I have already sent the king to Surabaya County to transfer grain." ”

"My marriage with Wen'er, otherwise how about waiting for some time? When the matter of many counties is resolved, I will explain it to Wen'er. Lu Yan said with an embarrassed face.

Zhang Cang also nodded, as a royal historian, didn't he know the current situation, although it was a disaster year, but the people were constantly recruited, and the immortal palace was recruited for conscription, because a book was going to send troops to the Huns, and the country's internal worries were really serious.

Hearing Lu Yan say this today, Zhang Cang also sympathized in his heart, "I will discuss it carefully on Mrs. Lu's side, Wen'er is reasonable and understands your hard work, you should be busy." ”

"Thank you for your understanding." Lu Yan immediately bowed down to show his respect for his teacher.

Zhang Cang hurriedly helped Lu Yan up, and it happened that Chen Ping came in, and when he saw Lu Yan saluting Zhang Cang, he was a little surprised, "The marquis salutes for the third duke, but it is rare, what is the so-called matter of Zhang Lao?" ”

"It turned out to be Dr. Chen, I haven't seen Ziyu for many days, I'm here to take a look today, if you have something, you talk first, I'll leave first." Zhang Cang said with a smile and walked towards the outside of the mansion at the same time.

Lu Yan looked at Chen Ping with some frowns, "Mr. is less ruffian, he is my master after all, it is better to have more respect." There was a slight reproach in the words.

Chen Ping pretended to salute in a hurry, and then sat down next to him, "Master Hou, I heard that you are going to Surabaya County, this matter is not appropriate!" ”

"What's wrong?" Lu Yan was not as thoughtful as Chen Ping, and asked with some doubts.

"Now Fusu Gongzi trains his troops every day, although it is said that it is the beginning of spring next year, as far as the current start, it is possible to send troops at the end of autumn, if you go to Surabaya County again, there will only be Li Si and Zhao Gao in the humerus in the court, and the country will be in chaos."

"Li Si has been an official for more than ten years, and he is very sleek, and Zhao Gao has served Yingzheng for more than ten years, and he is well versed in the emperor's heart, and Lu Sheng and others are in the court, if you leave Xianyang, I am afraid that the sky of this empire will change, and the Hou Ye has lost a Qin Empire because of a Surabaya County." Chen Ping said with a little worry in his words.

Lu Yan was not as thoughtful as Chen Ping, and when he heard Chen Ping say this, he also felt reasonable in his heart, but after thinking about it, he didn't have a suitable person to go to Surabaya County at all.

"Then who is competent in Surabaya County? If this county is not well governed, I am afraid that the rebellion of the empire will start from this county first, and Xiangguo will not go to Xianyang for a long time, and the official position is not large, which is not enough to comfort the people. ”

After Lu Yan finished speaking, he sat aside a little helplessly, and took a sip of warm tea, "Hey, what Master Hou said is very true, and now it is really difficult to solve." ”

"When I went to Surabaya County, you managed the school palace well, and among the many doctors, only the uncle and grandson were available, if you have time, you will notify the son of the general, and transfer the master of the son of the high master Zhou Servant to the school palace, and then recommend the uncle and grandson Tong, and then I have my own way to clean him up after Zhou Qingchen in the school palace." Lu Yan said with a slightly cold look in his eyes.

When the empire was prosperous, there was nothing to keep Zhou Qingchen, but now that the empire is in danger, this kind of sloppy official still solves it.

Chen Ping was arranged by Lu Yan, so he didn't say more, and then got up to say goodbye, leaving Lu Yan alone, and then drank all the tea, and then sent someone to inform Gongzi Hu Hai and Yingbu, so that they could get ready and go to Surabaya County on a certain day.
