Zhending Mansion, that is, the historical Changshan Zhending, that is, the later Hebei Zhengding, is one of the "three male towns in the north". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The historical celebrities here should be the first to recommend Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, who assisted Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms era, and his military achievements were impressive, and he was passed on to the world.

Of course, when Fan Zhongyan grows up and becomes famous all over the world in the future, Zhendingfu will also become famous with him, and Fan Zhongyan is also a native of Zhendingfu.

Zhending Mansion belongs to the boundary of Hebei, in the history of Hebei has many earthquakes, just in the records of the Song Dynasty has happened many times, these earthquakes are big and small, the heavy ones destroy houses, roads, mountains, etc., the light ones are only slightly aftermath, not serious.

The Zhending earthquake in the fifth year of Chunhua was not trivial, with tens of thousands of houses collapsed, tens of thousands of people killed and injured, several county towns under the jurisdiction of Zhending Prefecture were almost paralyzed, and even the yamen suffered heavy losses.

Originally, for the Great Song Dynasty, disaster relief was just a matter of taking out money, the Great Song Dynasty has always been rich, and disaster relief in a state is just a drizzle.

However, since the Northern Expedition in Chunhua one year, the Great Song Dynasty successively went on the Northern Expedition, the Western Expedition, and the Sichuan Gorge to quell the rebellion, and the army was very consumed.

If it was normal times, Zhao Guangyi wanted to provide disaster relief, and just send an official to Zhending Mansion, but the Great Song Dynasty now has no spare money for disaster relief, and disaster relief officials can only rely on their personality charm to think of their own ideas, which is the purpose of Zhao Guangyi sending Zhao Gulai.

He wanted the horses to run, and he wanted the horses not to eat grass, and after thinking about it, he finally felt that only Zhao Gu was the most suitable.

And if Zhao Gu completes this matter, it will be equivalent to saving the court for the disaster at the same time, and earning a lot of money for the court, which is naturally a great merit.

It was precisely because Zhao Guangyi didn't want Zhao Gu to make any more meritorious contributions and threaten his position, so he kidnapped Zhao Gu's family and used it as a threat.

Zhao Gu originally felt that Zhao Guangyi was making a fuss, just a state and a state, how much money could it cost even if it was a disaster relief?

But when he arrived at Zhending Mansion to take a look, he realized the seriousness of the situation, although the disaster in Zhending Mansion only killed and injured tens of thousands of people, but hundreds of thousands of people had nowhere to live, almost all of their houses were destroyed, and all the food and other items in the house were pressed underneath and could not be taken out.

In this way, if Zhao Gu wants to provide disaster relief, he not only has to compensate the families of the victims, but also has to take care of the food of dozens of people.

And when Zhao Guangyi left, he didn't even give him a grain or a copper plate.

Zhao Gu had to admire Zhao Guangyi's IQ, didn't he know that in this way, even if he kidnapped Zhao Gu's family, Zhao Gu might be forced to rebel by him?

Zhao Gu really wanted to use a kitchen knife to break Zhao Guangyi's head to see what was in it.

Did he think that as long as he got out of Zhao Gu, Zhao Gu would be able to conjure up rations for hundreds of thousands of people out of thin air?

Even if he also had a mind and wanted to kill Zhao Gu through this, once Zhao Gu could not provide disaster relief, a catastrophe would inevitably come, but in this way, wouldn't the people be innocent?

As an emperor, is this how you treat the people? Isn't he afraid that the officials in the court will be cold to him?

After Zhao Gu learned about the actual situation of Zhending Mansion, he was extremely speechless, and there was no good way to solve it for a while, so he could only take one step at a time.

He has now come to the Zhending Mansion and met the Zhending Prefect.

This Zhending prefect is still the same as before, and he is an old acquaintance with Zhao Gu, and when he saw Zhao Gu coming, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Zhuo Guogong, you can calculate that the people here have been affected by the disaster, and they will soon have no food to eat."

Zhao Gu said that he knew, and then entered the yamen, and the prefect of Zhending immediately followed, his face was bitter, and he wanted to speak but did not dare to speak.

When Zhao Gu saw him like this, he also mourned for him, as the prefect of Zhending, if Zhending was not effective in disaster relief, he would not be able to escape the fate of being beheaded.

"Lord Chen doesn't need to worry too much, I already have a way to deal with it, but this matter still needs the emperor's consent." Zhao Gu said.

"Oh? Does Grandpa Guo already have an idea? That's great. The prefect of Zhending breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.

Zhao Gu smiled slightly, and then wrote a note, stamped it with the seal of the National Prince, and asked Zhending Mansion to send it to Kaifeng.

Zhending is not far from Kaifeng, and it can be reached in two days, and Zhao Gu's music will be in the hands of Zhao Guangyi.

After Zhao Guangyi saw it, his brows immediately furrowed, and he said to Zhao Ling'er: "Xuan all the adults are here." ”

After a while, Mu Gong, Lu Mengzheng, Li Fu and other high-ranking officials of the court arrived at Zhao Guangyi's study, and after Zhao Linger served tea to everyone, Zhao Guangyi handed Zhao Gu's recital to everyone.

"You all take a look, Zhao Gu said that if you want to solve the disaster in Zhending Mansion, you can only borrow food from other countries, and Zhenla Country is the place he chose, what do you think Aiqing thinks?"

Mu Gong and the others finished reading the song, and after thinking for a while, Mu Gong was the first to say: "Your Majesty, the ministers agree with Zhuo Guogong's idea, and it is really determined that the rations of hundreds of thousands of people are not decimals, and since the treasury cannot be taken out, then the only way to borrow grain is to borrow grain." ”

"At present, it is not yet the time to collect the two taxes, the treasury has no grain, it seems that the grain will be transferred from other state capitals, as for the matter of borrowing grain from Zhenla country, I am afraid that it will damage the prestige of my Great Song Dynasty! If these Fanbang countries knew that the Great Song Dynasty had no grain, it might also cause them to covet it. Lu Meng was thinking for a long time, and the second said.

The other ministers all nodded, and the matter of the Great Song Dynasty's lack of food must not be known to other countries, otherwise it may cause a war and drag the Great Song Dynasty down even more.

"But there is no other way to do this, it is really determined to be a disaster now, if it cannot be properly handled, it may cause a civil uprising! The popular uprising on the Chuanxia Road has just been quelled, and if it is true that the people are revolting again, the people in other places may rise up one after another if they are encouraged by others. Li Fu said worriedly.

"Who dares to bewitch my people?" Zhao Guangyi asked.

"Your Majesty, the so-called people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and now the Great Song Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, naturally no one is confused, but if the Great Song Dynasty is in trouble, those guys will definitely jump out." Li Fu replied.

"You mean the descendants of the eldest and third?" Zhao Guangyi frowned and asked.

Li Fu didn't make a sound, and the other officials didn't say anything, it involved the affairs of the royal family, and the ministers didn't dare to care too much.

In fact, since the Sichuan Gorge Road people mutiny, there has been a rumor among the people, saying that Zhao Guangyi is a tyrannical expedition, so happy with his achievements, and he is not suitable to be an emperor at all, and he should give up the throne to Taizu.

Zhao Guangyi naturally hated the people who made such rumors, but this kind of statement only appeared in a few places, but he didn't expect that even the ministers knew about it now.
