The end of the He family's grave dispute case is just a talking point in the surrounding area, but for Han Gang, it is just the beginning of his hard work.

In the morning, he handled official business, and in the afternoon, he went to the townships outside the county to inspect the disaster situation. In the past half a month, Hangang has traveled all over the sixteen townships in Baima County. Han Gang has also seen the 26 Baozheng of the Great Bao established through the Baojia Law. And the original backlog of cases has been broken again. The dispute over land and water between the two villages and the dispute between brothers over property were also pacified and mediated.

In addition, the implementation of the new law, since the autumn tax has passed, Han Gang does not need to force the people to pay taxes, but to deal with the problem of arrears. In the first two years of the year, a total of more than 100,000 fifth-class households owed money on loans for the convenience of the people, and after the local officials asked the Son of Heaven, they crossed it out. Since there is a precedent, there is no saying that the debts of Hakuba County cannot be forgiven. The debts owed by the lower households on the convenience loan are only a few thousand, and Han Gang has already written a chapter and submitted it, so there will be no reason to disallow it - as the respect of a county, it is natural to strive for the interests of the people under his rule.

However, as the magistrate of the county, Han Gang was busy, and the staff below were also busy. Wei Pingzhen sat in the yazhong and helped supervise the money and grain. Fang Xing followed Han Gang and came back in the evening.

It just so happened that You Alcohol also returned to Yamen from the county school. Han Gang arranged for You Yu to be a school official in the county. Although You Jiefu is young, his literary level is indeed excellent--the famous talents of Fujian are absolutely super-first-class when they go to the countryside in the north-coupled with Han Gang's support, You Alcohol only took ten days to convince the scholars of Baima County.

When the three of them saw it, their faces were thin, and they couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh, it was really hard to be a staff member for Han Gang.

After dinner in the evening, the three of them sat together and chatted again, while Han Gang was in the study, looking at the old Chen case in Baima County.

"I always feel that Zhengyan is in a hurry, what?" You Yu has rarely heard of such a diligent magistrate, and in his opinion, Han Gang is already too busy to be an official, "If you really want to talk about it, it's a little anxious to take out the property dispute case at the right time." In fact, you can take your time, and you don't need to take risks as soon as you come up. ”

Han Gang's thoughts, Fang Xing could see clearly: "Can you not be in a hurry?" Looking at the current situation in the county, you can see that next year's catastrophe will be terrible. ”

"What does this have to do with the He family's property dispute?"

"Lookout!" Fang Xing sighed: "Zhengyan wants to be popular, and only then can he face difficulties." Relying on subtlety, how long does it take for Zhengyan to save up his current prestige? Can the little officials not dare to deceive? Can the people be convinced? Now, one case is enough! ”

Wei Pingzhen also followed: "If you don't have enough prestige, how can you calm the hearts of the people in the county during the disaster next year, and command the people of the county to rescue the disaster like an arm?" How can we oppress those big households who are rich and unkind, don't hoard and take advantage of the situation to collect people's wealth?! ”

"But it's not so anxious." You Alcohol's voice turned lower, "Could it be that Zhengyan is trying to help Wang Xianggong to advance so quickly?" ”

Unless there is heavy snow in Hebei and Gyeonggi this winter, the disaster will continue, and Wang Anshi will definitely leave office next year.

"Zhengyan If he really supports his Taishan, he will not fall into Baima County to be the magistrate." Although he was transferred from Wang Anshi to Han Gang's curtain, Fang Xing said that there was no taboo at all, "If you don't recommend several division commanders from Hengqu and Luoyang, won't Zhengyan find a good position in the imperial court?" It is more than enough for the initiates to follow the Son of Heaven, so what qualifications are needed? With the care of the Son of Heaven, the support of the Prime Minister, and the dispatch of one power, what position can't be obtained? ! It's just that he didn't belong to Wang Xianggong, so he fell to Baima County. ”

You Alcohol was speechless. Ercheng saw hope from Han Gang's recommendation, knowing that Han Gang and his father-in-law were not all the way. Cheng Hao introduced You Gang to Han Gang as a staff member, and also made it clear that he often advised him not to let Han Gang completely go to the side of the New Party.

Wei Pingzhen looked at the stubborn Youol, as if he saw his naïve self thirty years ago, smiled, and asked: "Jiefu, what do you think will happen when the prince of Wang Xianggong steps down due to this disaster?" ”

"Of course, it's to save the day!"

"Wrong!" "Big mistake!" Fang Xing and Wei Pingzhen laughed together, You You's statement was too naïve.

"It's the same party that fights against differences!" Wei Pingzhen's face turned cold: "Under the pretext of clearing up the accumulated defects and setting things right, we will abolish the new law and completely eradicate the power of Wang Xianggong." It's too far to say that Niu Li is fighting for the party, think about the Qingli New Deal, what did Lu Wenjing [Lu Yijian] do to Fan Wenzheng [Fan Zhongyan]? 'Catch them all', Jiefu! As for business, that's at the back of the line! ”

Fang Xing also sneered: "Anyway, all the faults can be blamed on the ex, and there is something to blame, what is there to be afraid of?" On the contrary, the current prince Wang, in order to protect himself and the new law, will definitely do his best to rescue the disaster. ”

"Hebei will definitely not be able to save the disaster this winter and next spring, and when the time comes, the displaced people will come across the river and flock to the city of Tokyo. Otherwise, it would be to take the opportunity to attack Wang Xianggong. Let's see how many people will come up with ideas to help the homeless people solve the pain of the overhang? ”

You Yu didn't know how to argue, but in his heart, the other party and Wei couldn't agree with the statement of the other party and Wei no matter what, and kept shaking his head.

Seeing that You was not convinced, Wei Pingzhen restrained his smile and asked, "When it comes to a famine year, the price of grain will skyrocket. Jiefu, do you say that there are many profiteers who hoard and live in this world, or are there many good people who open warehouses and give porridge? ”

"This ......" You Yu wanted to say that there were many profiteers, but this was not in line with the truth of human nature, and he was speechless for a while.

"I'm telling you, in fact, there are still many good people!" Wei Pingzhen has not been a eunuch for decades, and there is a cynical thought in his chest, "But there are many good people in the countryside, and the reason why profiteers can be traitors is that they have someone behind them, otherwise how dare they be traitors?!" ”

"There are always righteous people in the DPRK!" You mellow self-defense.

"Masato?" Wei Pingzhen sneered, "Is Fan Wenzheng a righteous person?" Chao Zhongyue knew the Gaoyou army back then, but he didn't know how to chase thieves and catch thieves, but instead rewarded the crossing giants with cattle wine, hoping to bring disaster to the outside world. Should such officials be killed? But do you know what Pham Van Ching said? ......'Since the ancestors, they have never killed their subordinates. This is a virtuous event, why do you want to ignore it? His hands are slippery, and I am afraid that my generation will not be able to protect him. He asked sharply: "Chao Zhongyue deserves death for his crimes, but Fan Wenzheng is thinking about the future ministers of the world, so he will die, I don't know if you think what Fan Wenzheng said is right or not?" ”

Fan Zhongyan's move ignored the laws and regulations, and set a very bad precedent. But from the doctor's point of view, it is not wrong. You Alcohol didn't know whether to nod or shake his head for a while.

"This example is not the right one." Fang Xing raised his eyebrows and sneered: "The imperial court presents the two captives in the northwest every year, and nearly one million people do not hesitate to do so, and the Son of Heaven still has to marry the barbarians. And the dying princes are not ashamed, but proud, and call it a holy thing. Chao Zhong made an appointment to serve the thieves with cow wine, but it was just an upward and downward effect! Of course you can't be condemned! ”

As soon as Fang Xing's words came out, Wei and You's faces changed sharply, and they hurriedly stopped him from saying more. When these words came out, Han Gang had to bear a share of the guilt. And in fright, he didn't have the heart to argue anymore, so he shook his head and sighed, and dispersed.

And by the next day, it's still time to be busy.

Wei Pingzhen counted the accounts on the money and grain, supervised the household workers Zhu Cao, and You Yu went to the county school as usual. Han Gang took Fang Xing to inspect the county medical hall.

According to the law, there should be a medical center in the county and county, and it should be supported by the government, and the doctor will sit next to the county government to heal the people. At the same time, according to the edict, every summer, the county has 200 pieces of soup and medicine money, which is used to distribute heatstroke prevention drugs to the people. In winter, if the dead body is dumped on the nameless road, the official will pay for it to be cremated and then buried.

This rule is actually very good, but how many of them really follow it? After all, it's hard to give up good money!

And Han Gang is now ready to implement them one by one, the savings that should be saved, the expenses for eating, drinking and having fun will be invested in disaster preparedness, and the ones that should be used will be used, and the sanatorium that he is best at is ready to put up the shelves quickly. At the same time, a plot of land has been planned on an open wasteland outside the county in case of the thousands of displaced people who are about to cross the border.

The first day of November.

The sky was still clear, and there were no clouds to be seen. It's just that it's no longer blue, but it's a misty yellow because of the dust that has been swept up into the sky by the wind.

It was also on this day that the first group of Hebei refugees with more than 100 people crossed the Yellow River and entered the territory of Baima County.

The homeless people came so early that Han Gang couldn't help but be shocked. When he heard the news, he mounted his horse and led his retinue to the north in the direction of Hakumadu.

Not far from He Shuangyuan's tomb, Han Gang saw this group of displaced people who had left their hometowns, carrying large bags and small bags, and some were pushing wheelbarrows, and the children were either sitting in baskets or sitting in cars.

Seeing a team of horses rushing straight towards them, many of them were strong men with bows and swords, the homeless people were all frightened and fled in all directions.

Fortunately, Fang Xing shouted repeatedly, "People, don't panic, Han Zhi County from Baima County is here to visit you." Only then did he stand still.

Han Gang dismounted from a distance first, and then slowly stepped forward, and several guards with knives were about to walk in front of him, but he pushed them away.

The homeless people had dishes on all sides and were dressed in rags. Adults are so thin that they are out of shape, and children's legs and feet are so thin that only bones can be seen.

He Khotan and He Yunwen, they are much stronger than these homeless people. Even if he is hot, although he is poor, he can actually eat and clothe himself. But he fought a lawsuit for 30 years for two hectares. And the current group of homeless people are all yellow and thin, and it is not surprising that they will fall down at any time if they are staggering.

Seeing this tragic situation, Han Gang only felt shocked.

Facing the panicked people of Hebei, Han Gang tried his best to calm down his voice: "The disaster in Hebei has long been known to this official. It has been played, and there will be an echo soon. Just outside the county seat, the official has also arranged for the station, and the materials for setting up the tent have also been prepared. Although you live in peace in this county, it is not too late to return to your hometown after the disaster has passed. ”

There are some things he doesn't care about. But there are some things he can't care less.
