At the beginning of August of the first year of Xingping of the Han Dynasty, Tian Fan completed the inspection task of the entire territory of Xuzhou. It's busy, but it's fulfilling. The two-month inspection made him see the hardships of the life of the people of the Han Dynasty, and whenever the people smiled at him from the bottom of their hearts, he felt from the bottom of his heart that although the tired professor had paid a lot, it was worth it!

I often hear a saying that whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world! The "people" here are not "people", but "talents", that is, "scholars", or by extension, all kinds of scholars! Therefore, the monarchs of all dynasties, except for a few who have seen the powerful energy of the people's war, pay the most attention to the scholars, not the people. The common people, in the eyes of most monarchs, are the grass people, the people, the naturally exploited class. The phrase "the world of those who win the hearts of the people" is really not much of a monarch who attaches importance to it......

Grass people, hehe, think about it carefully, this word is still very learned! Add "grass" before "people", which means to be cheap, indicating that "people" are like grass mustard, worthless. However, most people don't know that "grass" has another characteristic, that is, tenacious vitality! Wildfires can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows again! "Grass people" are "people" who are as alive as weeds. Whenever a dynasty decays to a certain extent, the grass people will destroy it with a surging, devastating force, and then rebuild it.

Perhaps, in the hearts of most scholars and wealthy people, the common people are grass people, and the lowly ones are like grass mustard. But Tian Fan, who came from later generations, didn't think so, he had his own sense of responsibility, his own kind side, and he was still happy to do a few things for these "grass people". Liu Bei also understands that those who really win the world must win the "hearts of the people", not the "hearts of the people"! Perhaps, this is also the thought that he gradually formed after feeling the energy of the Yellow Turban Uprising, right?

When I got home, I met my family first, reported the progress of the matter to my parents, asked my parents about their physical condition, and then teased Tian Kun, this stinky boy is still so skinny! Then, Tian Fan took a good bath under the service of Xiao Liu'er, dressed up, went out again, and went to Mi's house. Our parents are filial, and our daughters-in-law must also be filial, uh...... I used the wrong word, it's love. Besides, the parents said that the daughter-in-law came to do her filial piety for her son once a few days, so she had to thank her, right?

Mi Zhen knew that Tian Fan was back today, because Mi Zhu had already returned, so she was very dressed up, and the woman was the one who pleased herself. When Tian Fan saw her, he was stunned again. This girl listened to Tian Fan's words, her cheeks were not smeared with lead powder, a delicate little face was pink, smooth and charming, soft willow leaf curved eyebrows, a pair of bright eyes under the greasy jade nose, ruddy cherry mouth looked at people couldn't help but want to kiss, I haven't seen it for a long time, as if this girl is charming and mature. Mi Zhen saw Tian Fan looking at her in a daze, and her face was slightly red. Mi Zhen looked at Tian Fan and thought, Tian Fan's brother has lost weight and is dark, but he is more energetic!

After the two sat down, Tian Fan asked, "Zhen'er, what about the two uncles?" Mi Zhen replied: "As soon as the eldest brother finished freshening up, he was called away, saying that Tao Envoy Jun had invited him to discuss urgent matters. The second brother went out early this morning and didn't come back. As she spoke, she glanced at Tian Fan and asked, "Didn't Brother Tian Fan say that he wanted to bring me a gift?" I've been waiting for your gift. Tian Fan was embarrassed for a while, and felt a little sorry for Mi Zhen, what he said was good, but he was too busy during the inspection, where do you remember? Mi Zhen saw Tian Fan's embarrassment, and chuckled: "I'm kidding you, I'm very satisfied when you come to see me, who cares about any gifts?" ”

Tian Fan was moved for a while, what a good daughter-in-law, she couldn't help but hold Mi Zhen's hand, and said with a look on her face: "Zhen'er, you are so good!" ”…,

Mi Zhen twitched, but didn't pull it out, so Tian Fan held his hand, lowered his head and said softly: "You are my future Langjun, I am not good to you, who is good?" Tian Fan was even more moved, and he couldn't help but want to cry. No, this won't work, you have to be distracted, otherwise you have to cry, it's a big shame!

"Zhen'er, why don't I tell you a story and take it as a gift?" Mi Zhen said: "Okay, good! I heard Xiao Liu'er say that the story told by Brother Tian Fan is good! Tian Fan told her a story about the White Snake, between lovers, it is very suitable to tell this kind of twists and turns of the poignant love story! This is Tian Fan's idea......

Just about a third of the way, someone outside came to report, and Tao Yuanjun asked Tian Gongzi to discuss something important. Tian Fan was very reluctant to end the story temporarily, and after talking to Mi Zhen, he would tell it later, and followed the person to Taofu.

The atmosphere in the main hall of Tao Mansion is very dull now, Tao Qian, Liu Guanzhang, Chen Deng father and son, Mi Zhu brothers, Chen Qun and other major officials of Xuzhou and Xiaopei are all there, but no one speaks, not even a sound. At this time, I am afraid that a needle falling on the ground can startle everyone.

Tian Fan's footsteps woke everyone up, Liu Bei hurriedly got up to greet him, grabbed Tian Fan's hand and said, "Mr. Tian, you're here!" Tian Fan hurriedly saluted and said: "Xuande Gong is polite, everyone has been waiting for a long time, and all sins are also guilty!" ”

Zhang Fei shouted: "Oh, big brother, Mr. Tian, when is it, it's still polite, hurry up and find a way!" ”

Tian Fan glanced at Zhang Fei and asked, "General Zhang, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Zhang Fei looked at Tian Fan with some irritation, sighed, and said, "Mr. Tian, let's let the eldest brother say it, I can't tell!" Tian Fan realized that something was wrong, otherwise Zhang Fei couldn't be so irritable!

Seeing Tian Fan looking at him, Liu Bei said, "Mr. Tian, please take a seat!" Tao Qian also said: "Tian Fan, take a seat!" After Tian Fan sat down, he looked at Tao Qian carefully, Tao Qian felt Tian Fan's eyes and asked, "Tian Fan, what are you looking at?" ”

Tian Fan replied: "Envoy, why haven't you seen you for a month, you ......" It's really hard to say. A month and a half ago, Tao Qian was not as old as he is now, now Tao Qian looks dull, on his face, the wrinkles that were already very obvious are clearer, and the original gray hair is now snow-white and gorgeous, and more importantly, Tian Fan feels like he has no life, as if he will lose his breath at any time.

Tao Qian saw that Tian Fan was hesitant and didn't know how to speak, so he waved his hand open-mindedly and said with a smile: "Hehe, this short time is really tiring, I feel like I'm ten years old and may fall into the ground at any time!" ”

Tian Fan hurriedly said: "Don't say that, you will definitely be able to live a long life, and the people of Xuzhou can't do without you!" ”

Tao Qian smiled: "You kid coax me!" Over the years, how many people have lived a long life? The ancients said that people are not dead after fifty, I have already passed sixty, so that when I know the destiny of heaven, I will also live a long life, and sooner or later there will be that day! Liu Bei also persuaded: "Envoy, what Mr. Tian said is right, you must live a long life, the people of Xuzhou can't do without you, you must take care of your health!" ”

Tao Qian looked at Liu Bei and said, "Hehe, Xuande, you also scorn me?" Well, let's not talk about that, let's talk about the victims first! ”

Liu Bei nodded slightly, and said the things he was facing now. After Liu Bei finished speaking, Tian Fan learned what happened when he went out to inspect. Due to the relatively minor locust plague in Xuzhou, a large number of victims have poured in from Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and now it has reached hundreds of thousands. When the flood of victims began, the counties in Xuzhou near the two prefectures digested it by themselves and did not report it, and by the time it was reported, the number of victims was out of control. This year's severe drought, the county government treasury did not have much food to help the victims, but with the support of the major families, gritted their teeth and still survived, now the biggest problem is that the victims gathered, disrupted the local security, and the local officials were unable to manage it. There were two places that almost broke out! Tian Fan also saw a lot of victims during his inspection, but there were only three or three victims, not many, and he didn't think about it. …,

Tao Qian was really worried and had no choice, so he invited everyone to discuss, but he still didn't come up with a reason. Tian Fan nodded and said, "Hehe, I thought it was a big deal, look at what worries you, I ......" "It's not a big deal, so what do you say is a big deal?" Zhang Fei interrupted Tian Fan again with a suffrage.

Tao Qian was excited, Liu Bei was so excited that he didn't have time to pay attention to Zhang Fei, except for Zhang Fei in the hall, everyone was excited. Tian Fan dares to say this, which means that he has a way! Only people with small memory like Zhang Fei can't react. Tao Qian grabbed Tian Fan's hand with agility that did not match his age and physical condition, and said tremblingly: "Tian Fan, do you have a way?" Come on! Liu Bei also grabbed Tian Fan's other hand, a tremor like a ghost, and asked anxiously: "Yes, Mr. Tian teach me quickly!" Chen Deng's father and son, Mi Zhu brothers, and Guan Yu all stood up, gathered around Tian Fan, and said chaotically: "Say it quickly, what is the way to say it quickly!" Guan Yu wanted to grab Tian Fan's neck and ask, but Tian Fan was in front of Liu Bei and Tao Qian......

Tian Fan hurriedly said, "Everyone, listen to me!" When everyone quieted down, Tian Fan continued: "Actually, to put it bluntly, it's just four words, work for relief!" Seeing everyone's confused eyes, Tian Fan asked: "Envoy, Xuande Gong, may I ask, the biggest problem now is that the disaster victims gather to disobey the discipline, not that there is not enough food, am I right?" ”

Tao Qian nodded and said: "Yes, I am rich in Xuzhou, and Yuanlong has accumulated a lot of grain in Tuntian for several years, and there is still a little bit of this year's harvest, but the grain is enough." Even if the government doesn't have enough food, you can borrow some from the rich families. The problem now is that the victims are not easy to manage, and the chaos is really difficult to control! ”

Liu Bei also nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, what the envoy said is right!" A few days ago, some of my Xiaopei's victims almost rioted, if it weren't for Yun Chang and Xianhe's quick response and arresting the person who provoked it, it would have caused a catastrophe! It has been some years since the Yellow Turban Rebellion was pacified, but there are still recurrences in various places, and if the victims are provoked by people with ulterior motives, it may be a monstrous disaster! ”
