Luoyang City woke up to the echoing bells.

Because the weather is getting colder, Luoyang City in the early morning is shrouded in a faint mist, and in this fog, Ye Chang and his party walked through the neighborhoods of Luoyang City and walked towards the government office.

In the city, the sound of chickens and dogs barking is endless, people who get up early have gone out of the workshop, scholars and girls gather, and business travel is dense.

Such a prosperous city, if history does not change, will face extinction in more than ten years. It was first occupied by the rebels, and then given to the alien mercenaries by Li Tang. Countless scholars and women, like peonies all over the city, fell to the ground and crushed into mud.

Barbarism always has its own advantages over civilization, and if civilization falls into internal strife again, then it will not be far off to overthrow.

With such emotion, Ye Chang came to Yang Shenming.

"I handed over a thorn the day before yesterday, why did I only arrive today?"

Yang Shenming was very unhappy, he sent someone to invite Ye Chang, hoping that Ye Chang would come to the rescue, but Ye Chang arrived early, but he delayed coming to see him for two days.

Two days, that's precious time

The frost was heavy this morning, and it was reported outside, and two victims froze to death. If Ye Chang had seen him earlier and found a solution, maybe this frozen man would have been able to recover

"As soon as you enter the city, you are trapped in mundane things, so it is too late." Ye Chang was also a little ashamed.

"Mundane things...... The official heard that Ye Langjun and the former Taile ordered Cao Shaokui to capture demons in Dafuxian Temple. Yang Shenming stared at Ye Chang: "Do you know that when the prime minister of the court, Li Gong, admires your talent very much, my brother advises the doctor, and I can hear Li Gong's words, 'Ye Shiyi has a wide range of intelligence, but there are only two regrets, his one move is frivolous, and his second words and deeds are mean, both of which are the way to death. For the sake of the country's talent preservation, Ye Shiyi cannot be made prominent. ,”

Ye Chang has done a lot of things in the past year, that is, Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan both know his reputation and indirectly associate with him, so it is not surprising that Li Linfu knows him.

What made Ye Chang strange was that Li Linfu would evaluate him like this - this is really a very sincere evaluation.

With the insight of another life, he naturally has no shortage of talents, but the experience of another life makes him a little cynical even when he is old, so everything is rarely right, and words are even more unwilling to let people. These are all shortcomings in his character, and since he arrived in Datang, he has suffered a lot of losses for this. The assassination outside Chang'an City last time was unprecedentedly close to death, which made Ye Chang, who came to this life inexplicably, begin to reflect a little.

It is this reflection that will help Yuan Zai.

Many people know about his problem, but not many people say it.

"However, yesterday's incident, you blocked a disaster for the official, and the official still wants to thank you." Yang Shenming said again after reprimanding.

"What did Ming Gong say?" Ye Chang's heart moved, and he asked.

"The assassination of Shen Xi." Yang Shenming frowned, very distressed: "I never thought about it...... There will be this kind of trouble."

Although Shen Xi and Ye Chang and the others left, they also left two stewards to deal with Wuhou Shop. Therefore, Yang Shenming knew that when Shen Xi was assassinated, the drums were sounding behind closed doors, and there were still many pedestrians on the street, so many people saw it on the spot. It is not surprising that Dao Ye Chang was involved afterwards.

Ye Chang was even more curious: "This Shen Langjun, I don't know what kind of family he is, the assassin actually wants to assassinate him?" Could it be that there is something wrong with the identity of this assassin, and Ming Gong is embarrassed because of this? ”

"It's not just embarrassing, the assassin is just going to be behind the scenes, I know it, but I can't help it." Yang Shenming glanced at Ye Chang, halfway through his words, and did not continue: "This matter has nothing to do with you, and the assassin will not retaliate against you, you can just rest assured." It's okay to assassinate Shen Xi, if I take the initiative to stab you again, will I not be a Tang Jiashi? ”

"This ......"

Yang Shenming did not say Shen Xi's identity after all, there must be a reason behind this. He didn't say anything, and Ye Chang couldn't ask, his attention shifted to the resettlement of the victims

"That's it, it's two thousand three hundred and nineteen in all—now it's two thousand three hundred and seventeen victims, and it was better a while ago, but the weather has become cooler these days, and people are freezing to death every day." Yang Shenming sighed: "Ye Shiyi, what good ideas do you have, say it quickly." ”

"The treasury is empty?" When Ye Chang heard the news, he couldn't help frowning.

It's only the middle of October, and some people have already frozen to death, and how many more will freeze to death in the colder November and December?

With the power of Luoyang Mansion, it is the land of the eastern capital, sheltering more than 2,000 disaster victims, which should not be a difficult task for this large city with a population of one million. Behind this, I'm afraid that there is some reason.

"The saint wants to tour the east again." Yang Shenming's words made Ye Chang understand.

The emperor's patrol once means that he spends a lot of money, not to mention anything else, the number of sergeants and officials accompanying him will be in the hundreds of thousands. The eating and drinking of so many people and the servants who had to run for these people all added up, and the consumption was by no means a little and a half.

In the Luoyang Mansion, there is naturally food and money, but those money and grain are not something that Yang Shenming can use. He can use it, but he has to stay in case of an emergency

"Nonsense" Ye Chang couldn't help but curse in his heart.

When is this, Li Longji is still thinking about the eastern tour at this time, although the summer flood disaster is not too big, but it has also caused thousands of victims.

"At least over there in the Hot Spring Palace, Your Majesty will definitely go." Yang Shenming added, and then smiled bitterly: "Therefore, this official is really powerless, thinking that you didn't have the slightest assistance at the beginning, so you brought the people of a village out of the flood...... This official fully supports you, and you can resettle more than 2,000 victims, right? ”

"A certain is not an official ......"

"I know that you are not here, but in order to act cheaply, this official has been on the imperial court, as Chang'an has set an example, and specially hired you to record the affairs of Luoyang Quan."

Ye Chang was really speechless, Han Chaozong's house had a good start

The record is not a beauty in the first place, although it also has a rank and rank, and it can be regarded as an official who enters the stream, but this official position was originally intended for those officials who did not enter the stream, and they had no hope of being promoted to the stream, so they counted on this record.

It can be seen how embarrassing the official position of "recording" is.

As for the addition of the word "right" in front, it means temporary. It is used when there is something, and it is dismissed when there is nothing to do, and now it is called "right", and the other life is called "temporary worker", no matter which life, it is the best object of responsibility for the blame.

This Yang Shenming is also not kind

Ye Chang slandered a few words in his heart, but he was secretly scolding in his stomach, and Yang Shenming said again: "You are not here, this official has long known that the position of joining the army is just convenient for you to act." The rest of Luoyang is different from Chang'an, but there is one place that is average, that is, the land is full of powerful people, and there is no name, that is, the Xu officials are servants, and you are not moved. ”

"Even if I add a position of right to record, I'm afraid that I won't move." Ye Chang smiled bitterly.

"The official said, what you want, the official will give you."

Ye Chang pondered for a while, and then said: "A certain stay in the Dafuxian Temple for a day, but it is not without harvest, in a certain sense, the first step should be to move the victims outside the city from the north of the city to the east of the city, located between Jianchun Gate and Luoshui, I see that there are a few vacant land, now that the autumn harvest has been completed, it has not been planted, and a wooden house is built here to prepare for the cold winter."

"These vacant lands are private land."

"It doesn't matter, at most, in the spring of next year, these victims will be resettled, or return to their hometowns for reconstruction, or work in Luoyang City. When it comes to the wooden houses on the ground in time and space, they belong to these private landowners. The wood used in the wooden house can be put by Luoshui for easy transportation......"

The first thing to do to resettle the victims is to have a place to stay. Although Ye Chang did not personally go to the north of the city to see the residences of the victims, he had already inquired yesterday, and the residences of the victims were only thatched huts, which could not even cover the wind and rain, let alone keep warm.

He talked about his thoughts one by one, Yang Shenming nodded again and again, and after talking about the general framework, Ye Chang said again: "This matter is easier said than done, how to do it, I have to go to see the victims in person...... In short, it's nothing more than cash-for-work. ”

"This is the key, cash-for-work, after all, you need money and food, where can you get a lot of money and food?" Yang Shenming sighed and said: "Where does the money and food come from, if you have money and food, why bother Ye Langjun to come"

"It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, she wants the horse to run, but she also wants the horse not to eat grass, how can there be such a reason?" Ye Chang couldn't help but complain: "Just now you still said that you would give whatever you wanted."

"Except for money and food"

"It's really like a brother," Ye Chang muttered secretly in his heart.

Yang Shenming's identity is extraordinary, strictly speaking, he is the great-great-grandson of the former Sui clan and Emperor Yang of Sui. His father, Yang Chongli, was responsible for the treasury of Taifu Shaoqing, but he was honest and self-controlled. His brother Yang Shenjin has the legacy of his father, and he is used to managing money, which is favored by Li Longji.

The support received from Yang Shenming was mainly verbal, and in addition, some errands were allocated to the Ye Chang tribe. Ye Chang decided to go to the north of the city to see the victims first, so he said goodbye and left, and only left with his back, and behind the screen, a person turned out.

"Do you believe this?"

"Now it can only be like this, doesn't my brother believe him?" Yang Shenming bowed his hand to the comer.

Ye Chang never thought that the one hiding behind the screen was Yang Shenming's brother Yang Shenjin.

Among the three brothers of the Yang family, Yang Shen is the most famous, has a keen eye, and is good at financial management, so he was appointed by Li Longji as the Shaoqing of Taifu to replace their father.

"This son is in Chang'an West City, rectifying the city's appearance, quite a success, cement, but also to Jingzhao Mansion and other big financial resources" Yang Shenjin brothers look like they are all angry, he raised his eyebrows: "It's a pity that Han Chaozong and others look closely, even Taifu, and can't reach out to the virtuous brother, this time invite him, you will definitely marry him, let him have a good plan, for my use"

After a pause, Yang Shenjin said again: "Li Xiang intends to worship me as the middle of the imperial history again." ”

Although Taifu Shaoqing is a noble official, in the imperial court, after all, he is only a minister of wealth, but not in the imperial history. Therefore, when Yang Shenjin said this, his voice couldn't help but tremble a little.

Yang Shenming immediately understood what he meant.

For the Yang brothers, this step is the key, and if it can be taken, the prime minister can be expected. But if they can't take a step, their family is just that.

Previously, Li Longji intended to appoint Yang Shenjin as the middle of the imperial history, in recognition of his efforts to squander himself over the years, but Yang Shenjin was afraid of Li Linfu and resigned from the appointment. Then, Yang Shenjin began to marry Li Linfu, especially through his cousin Wang to establish a good relationship with Li Linfu, Li Linfu was very satisfied with his intellectual interest, and he intended to promote him as the middle of the imperial history.

But intention and action are two different things, if you want to get Li Linfu's real support, Yang Shenjin has to take action.

However, Yang Shenming's "Post-Disaster Emergency Question" was not taken seriously by Li Longji, which made Yang Shenjin see an excellent opportunity.

"Foolish brother still doesn't know, why does my brother pin his hopes on this Ye Shiyi."

"Brother Xian is not in Beijing, I don't know the rumors in Beijing now, they all say that Wei Jian is the transfer envoy, and it is possible to pay homage to the prime minister." Yang Shenjin said euphemistically.

"Wei Jian?"

Yang Shenming immediately understood the cause and effect.

Wei Jian can be valued by Li Longji, relying on Cao Yun, to put it bluntly, he can send money and food to Emperor Sanlang. If Yang Shenming can do a good job in Luoyang, it proves that their Yang family is not inferior to Wei Jian in sending money and grain, and naturally he can be appreciated by Li Longji.

Although he did not clash with Li Shizhi and Wei Jian head-on, he indirectly helped Li Linfu, and Li Linfu also hoped that there would be support from people with good money. Perhaps it is for this reason that Luoyang's disaster information went to Chang'an, but there was almost no movement in the center.

Therefore, Luoyang City's seemingly small resettlement work for the victims of the disaster is actually a matter of affecting the whole body, and it is related to the balance of the strength of the two sides in the center of the Tang Dynasty.

"Moreover, Ye Chang has always been close to Han Chaozong and others." Yang Shenjin smiled again at this time: "The strange thing is that Han Chaozong has never recommended Ye Shiyi as an official who has entered the stream, and has mostly asked him for temporary advice. It's funny to say, Han Chaozong is also famous for knowing people and recommending people, first Li Taibai, and then Ye Shiyi, all of whom missed him

At the beginning, Li Bai wrote a letter to Han Chaozong, who was famous for his acquaintance and recommendation, which was the later famous "Book with Han Jingzhou", but Han Chaozong probably felt that this person was exaggerating and did not recommend him. Yang Shenjin used this incident to ridicule Han Chaozong behind his back, but he didn't know the true intention of Han Chaozong.

Ye Chang was close to Han Chaozong, and Han Chaozong was close to Li Shizhi, so being able to pull Ye Chang to work for him was, to a certain extent, also reducing the power of Li Linfu's political enemies.

Why not do it with one stone.

"Now it depends on whether this Ye Shiyi Lang is actually difficult to match under his fame, or whether he has real talent and real learning." Yang Shenming realized the true meaning of this move and said with a sigh.

Ye Chang has some real talent, Yang Shenming is waiting to see, and the victims outside the city are also waiting to see.

These victims came from several counties around Luoyang, and when Ye Chang arrived, it was just the time to put the morning porridge.

This group of ragged victims shrank their heads one by one, and looked at the dozen cauldrons in the porridge shed with hot eyes.

"Guys are optimistic."

One of the servants snorted, then grabbed a long chopstick and inserted it into the porridge pot.

I saw that the long chopsticks were crooked in the porridge pot, although it was a little oblique, but it did not fall.

This proves that there is more porridge and less water when they are cast, and the victims let out a slight sigh: Today's meal can be regarded as full.

The porridge is in order, and there is no scramble - Ye Chang repeatedly emphasized in "Post-disaster Emergency Strategy" that the most important thing in post-disaster rescue is order, and Yang Shenming, who has read this article, naturally attaches great importance to it. In addition, he can be regarded as a capable official himself, so the situation that Ye Chang saw was relatively optimistic.
