Chapter 263: I Want You to Live

Supervising the post, is the county guard subordinate official, the rank of 600 stones, on behalf of the Taishou inspector county and township, each county is divided into several cadres, and each department has a superintendent post. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The functions of the info are to announce government decrees, convey fatwas, supervise subordinate officials, inspect criminal cases, and verify illegality, etc., so it can be said that they do everything.

When Zhang Fang came, he had made a thorough investigation of the situation of the officials in Hedong County, and the information of one of them attracted his special attention, and this person was not the first or second in command such as the county guard or the governor, but the superintendent Cao Penggou Shen.

Who is Gou Shen? is the son of Gou Bin, a native of Wei County, and the Gou family is very ordinary, that is, an ordinary rich and noble family. Unusually, his biological mother, Lee. This Li family remarried to the Gou family, and before that, Li's husband was called Wang Ban. This Wang Ban is the two most powerful people in the world: the biological father of the Queen Mother Wang Zhengjun and the Great Sima Wang Feng.

And Li is also the biological mother of these two.

From this point, we can also see the freedom of marriage in the Han Dynasty and the fierceness of the Li family. If you are not satisfied, you will remarry, cool, and no one wants it - of course, it needs to be explained that Wang Zhengjun's brothers and sisters were still young at that time, and they could not talk about wealth at all, and Wang Ban did not become a marquis of Yangping because of nepotism. Therefore, Li's remarriage is mostly due to "the mother is poor and the family is poor".

This relationship is clear at a glance: Gou Shen is the half-brother of the Empress Dowager Wang Zhengjun, which is also an important reason why Gou Shen can become the governor of Hedong. In addition, Gou Bin's head was not kicked by a donkey, and he would not give his son a self-defeating name like "dog sheng". The "sen" of Gou Shen should be read as "can", not "sheng". Obviously, this is a scornful name for this person behind the backs of the homeless people. From this hilarious name, you can imagine what this person's official reputation is.

Because there are very few people with the surname Gou, there is only one person who serves as the postal superintendent, two pairs, and the answer comes out.

Even a person like Gongsun Fu who is not smiling, can't hold back when he hears "belly oil" and "dog sheng". Needless to say, other people laughed one after another for a while, and I don't know how many people laughed out of their abdominal muscles.

Half an hour later, the same laughter came from the riverside a few miles away from the official road, and the smiling faces of the group were reflected in the clusters of bonfires. In addition to Zhang Fang and his servants, more smiling faces came from the homeless people who were covered in dirt. The twenty scholars, such as Gongsun Fu, led the horses and spread out in a semicircle around them, or drank the horses, or fed, or guarded, and their vigilant eyes swept over this group of homeless people from time to time.

Gongsun Fu, who is the chief official, has been standing on the right back side of Zhang Fang with his sword, his expression is indifferent, his eyes seem to be closed, and he is incompatible with the laughter and banquet around him. At this moment, the gaze that came out of his half-squinted eyes was a hint of confusion - this is really the Marquis of Fuping, who was born in a wealthy family and has been rich for generations? I'm afraid that even a hundred stone officials won't mingle with this group of homeless people, sitting around the bonfire and talking and laughing, right?

Over there, Qingyan, Liu Feng, and Yu Xi held the dried rice noodles and meat together and distributed them one by one. Among the three, Qingyan is a woman, and the other two are both Hedong teenagers, so it is easy for them to mingle with the homeless. Coupled with the distribution of food, the popularity and gratitude are even greater. In less than half an hour, Zhang Fang and his servants completely won the trust of the homeless people and were willing to talk to each other.

There are about 50 or 60 of these displaced people, who come from the three towns around Pugan, and there are many more people like them who live in the wilderness in groups. Every day, they can only receive a small amount of gruel to sustain themselves from the soup kitchen outside the county town of Pugan. They have been on such days for many months, and they have seen that the weather is getting colder, but they have never seen any further relief from the imperial court, and if they continue like this, they are afraid that in another month, most of these people will either starve to death or freeze to death.

“…… The governor did not allow any of the victims to enter the city, nor did he allow us to leave the country, so he distributed a small amount of rice porridge every day and hung it. At the beginning, we could pick some leaves, wild fruits, and rabbits and rats to satisfy our hunger, but now in late autumn, there are dead branches and leaves everywhere, so where can we get food? I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this winter......"

Speaking of pathos, the elders among the displaced people wept and couldn't help but be sad.

Zhang Fang's subordinates, except for the understanding, are all from poor backgrounds, and Liu Feng and Yu Xi are orphans in Hedong, so they empathize with this. In tears, I thought that if it wasn't for the master's acceptance, they would have ended up worse than this, and their gratitude was even greater.

Zhang Fang knew about the imperial court's disaster relief. Judging from the paper of the five prefectures, all disaster relief matters are in good order, and all kinds of aftermath are complete. But everyone knows that things on paper are one thing, and actual implementation is another, and no matter how good the experience is, it will be crooked when it comes to a monk with a crooked mouth.

Layers of exploitation, up and down their hands, geese plucking...... and so on, not to mention two thousand years ago, even if it is put in today's prosperous and prosperous era, this kind of thing is not uncommon and repeatedly prohibited.

When the water is clear, there are no fish, Zhang Fang can tolerate corruption, but there is a bottom limit - no one can die! You can drink human blood, but you can't swallow human life!

Gou Shen this group, over.

Zhang Fang knew that the reason why he did not allow the displaced people to leave the country was because he was afraid that if they moved to other counties, they would be impeached by local officials. I am even more afraid that the displaced people will cross the Yellow River and stir up Sanfu and alarm the Son of Heaven. No one dares to take this responsibility. But if you don't let others find another way to live, you have to solve other people's ways of living. They also want to be greedy for money and money, and they are not allowed to leave the country, and they want to rule the people so that they will not die too much -- this is probably the current plan of Gou Shen and his gang. It's just that the harsh winter is more ruthless than the greedy officials, and if there is no further and timely relief action by the Pugan Temple, these displaced people will definitely not survive this winter.

After Qingyan finished distributing the food, he sat back next to Zhang Fang, and said a little anxiously: "Childe, do you want ......to move as soon as possible?"

Zhang Fang shook his head slightly, it will be winter soon, and this is by no means a good time to migrate long distances. The best time should be after next spring. And before that, the homeless, to live as much as possible, the more the better, this is his future population resource.

Zhang Fang was silent for a while, and said to the elder: "If the imperial court lets you leave the country, move to a new place, provide seeds and farm tools, and let you open up the wasteland." Will you go? ”

The old man and some of the old people hesitated slightly, while the young people had already shouted: "Naturally, I want to go!" ”

"It's a long way to go, thousands of miles away, and it's surrounded by aliens, would you like to go too?"

At this time, even the young people stopped shouting, and after a while, someone asked, "I don't know what the son said, yes, where is it?" ”

"The Western Regions."

The audience was silent.

Zhang Fang slowly stood up and took a deep breath: "I am the official who came to follow the orders of the imperial court, and I am also the prince who will provide you with your migration needs and resettlement in the future." You will live in my fiefdom in the future, and all of you will be my people. So, regardless of your future decisions, first of all, I will let you live until next spring! ”
