The Daimyo Mansion is an important town in the Northland.

When Yecheng, which had controlled the land of Jizhou for hundreds of years, was reduced to ruins in the hands of Yang Jian, the Daimyo's Mansion became the core of Hebei step by step.

In the second year of Qingli [1042], the Khitan gathered heavy troops and made a posture of southern invasion. At that time, the proposal to move the capital to Luoyang was very popular. Lu Yijian, who was the prime minister at the time, said, 'Let the Khitan have to cross the river, although the city is high and the pond is deep, how can you be ashamed?' I heard that the Khitan was afraid of strong and cowardly, and the city of Luoyang was killed, and he died to demonstrate...... It is advisable to build a big name in the capital, and show that the general will be in person to conquer it. ’

Although Lu Yijian was behind him, he was often portrayed in private notes by the losers of the Qingli New Deal as a powerful minister or a traitor who deceived Shengcong, but his insight definitely matched the identity of the prime minister.

Emperor Renzong accepted Lü Yijian's suggestion, set the Daimyo Mansion as Beijing, made a gesture of moving the capital to resist, and at the same time sent Fu Bi and other envoys to add 200,000 yuan to the 300,000 taels of silver silk coins set up on the Lanyuan Alliance.

The shadow of the war dissipated, the annual coin increased by sixty percent, the Khitans were satisfied, and the Son of Heaven and the courtiers were also relieved. And the status of the Great Song Dynasty of the Daimyo Mansion was also given.

As the Great Song Dynasty Beijing, the Daimyo Mansion has always been the primary destination for the displaced people from Hebei. As the disaster worsens this winter, more and more displaced people from all over the Daimyo Prefecture are flocking to the Daimyo's Mansion.

With the current situation, even if it is Wen Yanbo, it is inconvenient for him to continue to invite guests to banquets now. Since November, he has been sitting at home reading and practicing calligraphy, and only once every other day, he has only gone out to see things. Because of Wang Fuzhi's fate, the officials of the Daimyo's Mansion no longer dared to disturb Wen Yanbo with complicated official affairs, and this day can be regarded as a clean life.

However, Wen Yanbo's subordinates didn't dare to disturb him to recuperate, but his son dared.

Wen Jifu walked briskly into his father's study. I don't know if the flush on my face is frozen, or excited: "My lord, there are displaced people outside the city again!" ”

Wen Yanbo looked down at the book, holding a magnifying glass in his hand, moving on the paper: "The homeless people are here, why should you be so happy?" ”

Wen Jifu had a smile on the corner of his mouth, "There are so many homeless people, as long as the Daimyo's Mansion slightly tightens the grain release that is often closed, they will definitely go south." ”

"What's the use of that?" Wen Yanbo put down the crystal convex lens that was stuck on the outer edge with a silver frame, raised his head very calmly, and in the thousands of ravines and ravines of his old face, a pair of cloudy eyes hid thousands of emotions, and he couldn't see a trace of expression.

Wen Jifu smiled gloomily, "As long as the displaced people enter the capital......" The words suddenly froze at this time, and with his father's intelligence, he didn't need to be reminded at all.

Wen Yanbo's face was a little gloomy, like a thunderstorm brewing between his eyebrows and eyes on a summer afternoon. This son really him off. Although he stopped halfway through the conversation, the intention was already spoken. How could he have such a stupid son!

raised his hand, and his fingers poked into Wen Jifu's face, "A little traitor, a little evil, not a big deal!" Who the hell taught you ......"

It's just that halfway through the lecture, Wen Yanbo suddenly choked on saliva and coughed violently. Older people, as soon as they cough, their voices are heartbreaking. Seeing that it was not good, Wen Jifu hurriedly went up to pat his back and comfort his chest, while shouting for people outside to come in.

The son, together with the maidservants, surrounded by seven or eight people for a long time, and Wen Yanbo relieved his breath. At this time, Wen Yanbo's anger in his heart also disappeared a little, and he raised his hand to signal his subordinates to go out, and then sighed and said: "You are giving people the handle, and you are humiliating yourself." Do you really think that no one is staring at the Daimyo's Mansion here? ”

"That ......" Wen Jifu was anxious, and he dreamed of going back to the world of flowers in Tokyo, how could he be willing to give up such a good opportunity.

Wen Yanbo snorted coldly: "If the homeless people want to come, just let them come, it doesn't matter if you have 350,000." I will open a warehouse and release grain here, and I will save it, and there will be no problem at all to support it until January next year. ”

"What about after January?" Wen Jifu asked suspiciously.

"It's just that it will snow this winter, if it doesn't snow, some Wang Jiefu will look good next year!" Wen Yanbo raised his eyes and glanced at his son, "You don't have to think much about the affairs of the homeless." Keep an eye on Han Gang on the other side and learn how he does things. ”

"Han Gang?!" As soon as Wen Jifu remembered that he was in front of He Shuangyuan's tomb at that time, he was shocked by the cries of tens of millions of people, and he was annoyed and angry, "What ability does Han Gang have, fan the mob, and decide the case in the chaos!" If you don't cure him, it's cheap enough for him! ”

"Mobs? The Son of Heaven has said that he is a loyal and filial people, but you dare to say that it is a mob?! Do you think Han Gang's trial is so simple? It's just a cry to make a difference?! Wen Yanbo looked at his son's eyes with complete hatred for iron and steel, and he couldn't wait to slap his son half as smart as Han Gang, "That's the Spring and Autumn Prison Break!" 'When you mourn, you cry' comes from "Three Rites". Grasping these four words, Han Gang is invincible, and "Criminal Unification" and "Loose Discussion" must stand aside. Except for you, no one dares to be unconvinced! ”

Wen Yanbo has suffered a lot of losses at the hands of Han Gang in the past, and Wen Yanbo has always been unaccustomed to Han Gang's style of acting. It's just that prejudices are prejudices, but to say that he will look down on Han Gang's intelligence is too underestimating his Wen Kuanfu's vision of people.

Not to mention far away, even this case, a 30-year backlog of cases with no evidence at all, if he Wen Kuanfu himself came to trial, he could only start from the word 'filial piety', and the decision he made was similar to Han Gang - after all, it was only with the Spring and Autumn Prison Sentence that the case could be broken off if the sentence could not be determined. Since Dong Zi judged the case with the essence of the classics, such a case, even if the criminal law is above, don't even think about refuting it.

It's just that Wen Jifu was taught a lesson by his father, and he was a little more jealous of Han Gang in his heart, and he didn't dare to underestimate the irrigation garden anymore, but he was still not convinced, "No matter how capable Han Gang is, he will not be like Han Qi, and he will be promoted to the rank of the ruler in the thirty-four or fifth five!" ”

"Han Qi?" Wen Yanbo sneered again and again, his beard was shaking, and his eyes were cold: "Han Zhigui is also capable in the court, and he has never accomplished anything when he goes out!" If it weren't for fate, he would have been a privy deputy to do it?! ”

As a veteran minister, Han, Fu, Wen and others will maintain basic friendship on the surface. But in private, Wen Yanbo is envious and jealous of Han Qi, who has the ability to make decisions. In his opinion, Han Qi has never made any contributions when he has been out several times, but he is just a mediocre official, and the Ren Fu he recommended was even wiped out by the whole army, allowing Western Xia to successfully establish a country. To have today's status is to stand in the right position in the court and speak at the right time. If it were me, I could do the same. I hate my own family several times, and the time is not right. Otherwise, there would be no chance for Han Qi to triumphantly become the father of the decision.

Hearing that his father's evaluation of Han Gang was actually better than Han Qi, Wen Jifu was stunned. Although my father has always looked down on the one in Xiangzhou, but comparing Han Gang to Han Qi, I can't help but look down on that irrigation garden kid too much, right?!

Wen Yanbo frowned and glanced at his son, and his stunned appearance became more and more unpleasant.

The son of the Guan Yuan family is good at politics, military affairs, and criminal names, and there are also inventions in the scriptures, and the crystal yang sui that came out of Gewuge—now called a magnifying glass—has been spread in the scholar's family. The older ones will find a way to get a piece from the palace. Back then, Uncle Ouyang Yong had bad eyes, and when he usually reads, he had to be read to him by others, and if he had this magnifying glass at that time, it would have been more convenient.

Look at the sons of the prime minister's family, none of them are successful. None of his eight sons, who went out to serve as officials, and who guarded the family by his side, could be regarded as outstanding. Fortunately, it is not only his family, but Fubi's son is also average. And the son of Han Qi's family is not as much as his father!

Is it really a prime minister who has exhausted all the good fortune accumulated over generations? Wen Yanbo thought helplessly.

"It's winter now, and it's cold. This year, you don't want to go out, just study at home. Wen Yanbo was completely disappointed in his son, and at this time, he must not give anyone a handle, "Some will be busy next year!" ”

……………………

The weather is getting colder day by day.

The winter of the Song Dynasty, in Han Gang's feeling, was far colder than after a thousand years. The ice on this section of the Yellow River in Baima County is already an inch thick in the eleventh lunar month. Han Gang stood on the edge of the half-shrunken river, and the worry between his brows could not be concealed.

The ground beneath my feet was frozen to the ground, and ice could be seen in the cracks of the parched riverbed because of the proximity to the river. But in the city, even in the early morning, there was not even hoarfrost on the tiles or under the eaves.

Fang Xing behind him was covering his nose and tilting his head. The air is dry, and if you're not careful, you'll get nosebleeds. And nosebleeds are still a trivial matter, and the houses in the city are like dry firewood, and if anyone accidentally takes out the water, the fire can burn in the blink of an eye.

"It's best to set up a few more submersible fire shops when you go back, and the number of people should also increase." Fang Xing snorted, feeling finally better, "With the current manpower, a fire is burning, and it can't be saved at all." ”

"Well, indeed." Han Gang nodded, thought about it and said, "Baimadu also needs to arrange people, and we will go and see it later." ”

As a big ferry on the Yellow River, Baimadu has many pedestrians, and around the ferry, a town of more than 600 households has been formed, and the household registration is still above the county seat of Baima. Most of the commercial taxes in Baima County come from the town of Dukou, and when it comes to strengthening fire prevention, the town of Dukou is more important than the city.

Han Gang said that he turned around and walked up the embankment, saying as he walked, "Be careful of the homeless campers outside the city." Now there are few people, and there will be no fire. But after a while, if there are more people, it will become more and more dangerous. ”

Fang Xing said: "I heard that the Daimyo's Mansion Wen Xianggong has ordered Chang Ping to open up the grain, these days, there are far fewer displaced people who have crossed the river to the south than expected. ”

"That's a good thing!"

Han Gang was originally worried that Wen Yanbo would drive the displaced people south for the sake of political struggle. Now that I think about it, I may have thought of the other person a little too dirty. There should also be a lower limit to being a human being, so many people are living people, and it is impossible for normal people to use them as tools.
