Chapter 315: Kong Rong's Worries

These days, Kong Rong is worried, as the parent official of a county, the people under his rule have suffered a rare natural disaster, and naturally need to be relieved, the problem is that he is now powerless, first, the money and grain in the treasury are stretched, and secondly, those squires have locked their granaries.

Then, the grain merchants and cloth merchants in the city also began to raise prices, and the residents in the city also began to spontaneously expel the displaced people who wanted to enter the city for a way to live, and the whole situation was developing in the direction of the worst, but Kong Rong was helpless against all this, and could only negotiate with the squire clan anxiously every day, and his voice was dry, but the effect was extremely limited.

Just when Kong Rong's mouth was burning in a hurry, Fang Zhiwen sent Zhao Yun to arrive, and a large amount of food arrived with the troops, according to Fang Zhiwen's suggestion, Kong Rong led the soldiers out of the city, organized the victims to set up temporary camps in the open space outside the city, elected the disaster victims' autonomous mutual aid organizations, and actively carried out self-rescue actions.

Kong Rong hadn't rested much for a few days, but fortunately, with the help of Zhao Yun's thousands of elite soldiers, hundreds of thousands of victims were finally initially settled, and they were divided into ten large camps in the west and south of the city, with the soldiers in Pingshou City responsible for the security of the periphery, and there were mutual aid patrols organized by the victims in the camp.

Although the most critical time has passed, Kong Rong knows that this situation is only alleviated, and there is still a long way to go to solve it, Fang Zhiwen's meaning is very clear, that is, to send these victims away and transport them to Qindao and Lelang, Fang Zhiwen's statement is very simple.

First of all, transport food from Lelang and Miyun Mountain to the long water, let the food save people, it is better to transport people over to get food; Secondly, this large number of disaster victims are nested outside Pingshou City, doing nothing all day, and it is inevitable that something will happen, and these people will be transported to Lelang to disperse. Build a home for yourself and nothing unexpected will happen again.

Of course, the fact that Lelang lacks people cannot be concealed and does not have to be hidden, and these people go to enrich the sparsely populated Lelang, although this behavior is contrary to the legal principles of the Han Dynasty, but in essence, it is beneficial to the entire Han Dynasty.

What's more. The snow disaster has not passed, and the victims are still coming. These victims gather together, and if they are used by someone with a heart, it will be a catastrophe. Moreover, there is already a phenomenon of large eaters in various places, and using it at any time may lead to more serious bloody conflicts, and once this kind of thing happens, it will spread unrestrictedly, and then it will be too late to decide. Although it will not shake the status of the government, the casualties will be too great.

Kong Rong is a Confucian, but also a gentleman, the idea of the monarch and the people is the principle that Kong Rong unswervingly pursues, therefore, when Fang Zhiwen wrote to explain that the victims were being transferred in Donglai County, Kong Rong hesitated slightly, and immediately wrote a description of the disaster situation and a statement suggesting the evacuation of the victims, and sent it directly to the capital.

He knew that this statement was on the table. will definitely be accused of colluding with Fang Zhiwen, and the name of gathering the population with bad intentions must be implemented on his head, and he may even be directly dismissed, but for the sake of the hundreds of thousands of people who are waiting to be fed in front of him, as well as the millions of victims in the entire Beihai and even Qingzhou, his expression undoubtedly opened a way for them to live.

It's just that Kong Rong, who is very politically naΓ―ve, doesn't know. His bleak and cold appearance will not affect him at all, because of Kong Rong's suggestion of 'immigrating to the real side'. It is a policy that is welcomed by the majority of the clan, and this policy will completely break the household registration system of the Han Dynasty. On the one hand, many clans are about to develop new land outside the Seychelles and reclaim new land, which requires a legal immigration policy, and on the other hand, it also opens up a legal way for the future local secession and self-reliance of the clans to gather the population.

Therefore, Kong Rong is anxiously waiting for the reply of the imperial court, but in the imperial court, the expression on the premise of Kong Rong's disaster relief is truly implemented as a practical and operational policy for immigrants.

When Fang Zhiwen and his entourage came to Pingshou City, Kong Rong personally went to ten miles outside the city to greet him, on the one hand, he naturally had friends from afar, and on the other hand, it was also because of the huge pressure he had endured for a long time, and now he was overjoyed that a savior had arrived.

Fang Zhiwen was taken aback when he saw Kong Rong, a good gentle gentleman, now he is actually haggard like a tuberculosis ghost, his cheeks are deep-set and his face is yellow, his eyes are very big, even his beard looks a little thin, and his body looks very thin, as if a cold wind is blowing, and he will fall down at any time.

"Brother Wen Ju, how did you get like this? No matter how much political affairs there are, you can't collapse your body, you have to worry about the country and the people, you have to worry about the capital, you yourself have fallen, what should you do with the hundreds of thousands of victims outside the city? ”

Fang Zhiwen took Kong Rong's cold and thin hand, shook his head helplessly and said.

Kong Rong sighed heavily: "It's good that you're here, not only saved these victims, but also saved me, hehe." ”

Fang Zhiwen shook his head and was speechless for Kong Rong's bitterness, this is a wilderness outside the city, not a place to speak, and besides, it is so cold here, if Kong Rong freezes and becomes ill again, it will be a sin.

"Okay, okay, then listen to me, the savior, and hurry back to the city, your body, another gust of wind can blow you down."

After Fang Zhiwen finished speaking, he swept the officials and servants who came to greet Kong Rong with cold eyes, and he was indeed very dissatisfied with these people in his heart, the chief officials have become like this, these people are all well-dressed, don't you know that they share worries for the main officials? If so, what is the use of these people!

It seems that Kong Rong is too gentle, these slippery officials should be cleared out as soon as possible, the prices in Pingshou City are soaring, and the residents in Pingshou City are expelling the displaced people, they must all have something to do with the family behind these officials, for this kind of behavior that makes it difficult to make money, put it in Miyun and Fengning, it has long been severely punished, in Pingshou City, the spokesperson of these profiteers and inferior gentry, actually ushered in and sent it to the public, Kong Rong is really not a qualified chief official!

The group returned to the city, Xiangxiang and Taishi Zhaorong were responsible for arranging the accommodation of the pavilion, and Zhen Xiang followed Fang Zhiwen to escort them.

After arranging the piecemeal affairs, Fang Zhiwen and Kong Rong could finally talk in Kong Rong's study.

"Brother Wen Ju, you are really hard work, this can't do it.1 Fang Zhi Wenbai, this is the game world, even if Kong Rong is tired, he will not be tired, and as long as he eats and drinks well and rests well, he can return to normal in two days, Kong Rong is like this, and the bigger reason is the pressure in his heart.

"As an official, can you watch the people under your rule freeze and starve to death?" Kong Rong said angrily.

Fang Zhiwen knows Kong Rong's literati temper, that is, he is unforgiving, he says whatever he wants, and even has irresponsible words from time to time, with a temper like him, it is best to go to modern times to be a current affairs commentator, then he can be regarded as making the best use of his talents, or in other words, Kong Rong's talent, in addition to doing academics, I am afraid that it is only that.

Fang Zhiwen smiled slightly: "Brother Wen Ju has studied through the past and the present, he must also know what he can do, if people always do things beyond their power, not only will they not do things well, but they will also endanger their own bodies, if you look at your current appearance, is it already endangering your own body?" Besides, Brother Wen Ju, tell me yourself, can you properly resettle the victims outside the city? Have you settled the victims of the disaster in the North Sea? Do you have any good suggestions for rehousing the victims of the disaster in Qingzhou? ”

Fang Zhiwen knows what method to use to deal with these upright literati, that is, to convince them with facts, and then things will be easy to say, Fang Zhiwen is convinced that Kong Rong is a gentleman, since he can speak out, even some exaggerated accusations against others, he can naturally bear the corresponding accusations.

Sure enough, Kong Rong glared, but he refuted wordlessly, thought about it carefully, and sighed dejectedly: "I'm ashamed, Rong can't do anything, I'm ashamed of thousands of people.1."

"Brother Wen Ju must have secretly sent a table to the court alone, asking for the evacuation of the victims, and the immigrants will eat, right?"

Fang Zhiwen asked with a smile, Kong Rong was a little surprised, I don't know how Fang Zhiwen guessed his thoughts, originally, Kong Rong thought that this matter was originally a matter of Beihai and Qingzhou, and Fang Zhiwen should not be planted in this matter, just bear this bad reputation by himself.

"Exactly, how did Zhiwen find out?"

"Guess, Brother Wen Ju must be thinking about taking on this bad reputation of destroying the law and ill intentions alone, in fact, Brother Wen Ju is too worried, and now most of the ministers in the court are probably supporting Brother Wen Ju's suggestion."

"Huh!? Why? Not good! I am ridiculous1 Kong Rong seriously flashed a trace of shock, suddenly remembered something, and looked at Fang Zhiwen in horror, but Fang Zhiwen was as light as promised, smiling gently, and couldn't help but let Kong Rong's frightened mood settle down inexplicably, and he felt a little guilty because he had doubts about Fang Zhiwen just now.

"Brother Wen Ju, do you think that you, a small county guard, can overturn the entire Han with a letter that is not salty or light? If it really overturns, it is definitely not your ability, so you don't want to put gold on your face. ”

"Uh, haha Zhiwen is right, Rong really thinks too highly of himself, he can't melt a literati, and he really can't afford that terrifying reputation."

"Hehe, it's just those people, I'm afraid they want to plant that name on Brother Wenju's head, Brother Wenju must be mentally prepared."

"Rong understands, bear it, those who understand will understand, and those who don't understand don't ask him to understand, as long as millions of people affected by the disaster can finally benefit and have a way to live, Rong's personal honor and disgrace is nothing, and he doesn't hesitate to die, but what is the name?"

Fang Zhiwen knew that Kong Rong was referring to Yang Jian, a party member who hid the party, and caused his brother's tragic death, and couldn't help but admire Kong Rong even more, this is a real literati, a gentleman with an arrogant character.

"Hehe, the merits have their own posterity! Let's take care of the living now. ”

Kong Rong smiled indifferently, leaned forward slightly, and asked in a slightly faster voice: "Exactly!" What good ideas does Zhiwen have, how can the hundreds of thousands of people outside the city be sent away safely? How to rescue the millions of people affected by disasters in Beihai and Qingzhou? ”! ~!
