Zhou Qiu didn't expect that when he was happy, Han Yan would suddenly come to such a sigh, and he was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he got up and stomped to the window, looked at the wide and neat street, and sighed in a low voice: "Although I was born in a rich family, I have never endured hunger or cold, but I have also seen people who are hungry and poorly clothed. This is still in the capital, if it is in other places, especially in such a bitter cold and barren place, I don't know how many people will starve and freeze......"
Han Yan nodded, looked up at the gray sky, frowned, and said in a low voice: "The summer weather is warm, and it is still fine, but in this cold winter, it is cloudy for many months, the fog is thick and cold, I don't know how many people will die due to poverty......
Zhou Qiu nodded, did not speak, and his eyebrows were no longer as light as before, and they were heavy.
In the heavy silence, Zhou Qiu suddenly heard Han Yan on the side sigh sadly: "I have learned some deduction techniques with my teacher, and I also know a little about the weather of heaven and earth...... As a result, it is not optimistic......"
"Really?" A layer of urgency suddenly appeared on Zhou Qiu's face, and he suddenly turned his head and asked Han Yandao, "How is the hexagram displayed?" โ
Liu Zhenren is a world-famous magician, and he has not had many hexagrams in his life, but all the hexagrams have been fulfilled. Han Yan, as his senior apprentice, has quick thinking and is difficult for others to match, even if he doesn't say that "the blue is better than the blue", this time he is at least seven or eight points sure.
Han Yan didn't sell anything to Zhou Qiu, nodded, frowned and replied: "Omen of the evil year......
Zhou Qiu was stunned for a moment, and carefully recalled that this winter was just blindly cold, but the weather was very dry, and there had never been a few snowfalls, and his face suddenly sank.
In a year of abundant snow, there is no snow and the crops are dry......
"Then Brother Han has a solution?" Zhou Qiu hurriedly asked.
Han Yan shook his head and said abruptly: "The so-called solution is just to predict the opportunity in advance, deal with it as soon as possible, and strive to minimize the loss or avoid it completely." There is still room for a change in the affairs of one person, one family, or even one place, but if it is a country's affairs, it is difficult to crack it......
Although the national strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty is not as good as when it was founded, its territory is still vast, and it is naturally troublesome to govern. Not to mention that the ministers above the court are fighting for their own interests, and they are unwilling to unite and work together to help the country get through the difficulties.
Zhou Qiu's brows were tightly locked, and his fists clenched under the sleeves of his robe.
Seeing this, Han Yan sighed lowly, asked Zhou Qiu to sit down again, and sighed in a low voice: "I only wish that I was not good at learning and failed to see through the celestial phenomena, so the deduction was wrong......
It's a pity that what he just said was not the result of deduction, but the great famine that did occur in his previous life that covered almost the entire territory of the Great Zhou.
Therefore, since returning to Beijing, he has been actively working to improve irrigation facilities in various places and increase grain storage in various places to cope with the impending catastrophe and famine in the near future.
However, Da Zhou has been accumulating disadvantages from top to bottom for a long time, and it is not an overnight effort to get rid of the old evils, not to mention that since he returned to Beijing, Sun Changyu has been on guard against him in everything and has been hindered from the side.
"It's about the temple community, how can you hope for luck?" Zhou Qiu sat down and replied awe-inspiringly, "Brother Han, don't worry, although I, Zhou Qiu, am a small person, I am willing to do my best for the people and the country!" When I get home, I'll discuss it with my father right away! I don't dare to say that at least in the Gyeonggi area, there will be no influx of refugees! โ
Han Yan nodded, got up and thanked him: "In this way, Yan is here for the people of the world, thank Brother Zhou first, thank Lord Zhou." โ
Zhou Qiu's father was surrounded by Jing Zhaoyin, who was responsible for the people's livelihood and security of the Gyeonggi generation, so he naturally did not want the chaos of famine and civil unrest under his rule, which would affect his political achievements and promotion. Therefore, even if the Zhou family has now been tied to the Sun family's warship through in-laws, the surrounding people will definitely not deliberately oppose him because he brought it up.
This is also the reason why he chose to mention this matter to Zhou Qiu first.
Zhou Qiu immediately got up and bowed back, and said solemnly: "Brother Han is for the country and the people, and everything is thought about first, Qiu is just doing what he should do as an official of the Great Zhou, and he deserves Brother Han's words of thanks." โ
Han Yan looked at Zhou Qiu with admiration on his face, and praised sincerely: "Although Brother Zhou is young, he has his own feelings of worrying about the country and the people, there is a young man like you in the court, why can't the Great Zhou prosper in the future and let the four seas surrender?!" โ
If he had only planned to make friends with Zhou Qiu before, so that Jing Zhaoyin's surroundings could deal with the impending catastrophe, then after this conversation, he already really admired and appreciated Zhou Qiu, a young man.
Zhou Qiu humbly replied: "Brother Han praises falsely. Qiu is just an ordinary member of this world. In the future, there will be more and more outstanding young officials in the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty to take on the role of the Great Zhou! โ
Han Yan shook his head, frowned slightly, and sighed helplessly: "How easy is this matter? โ
Zhou Qiu was stunned and asked, "Brother Han, what's the difficulty?" If you don't mind, Qiu is willing to smell the details. โ
Han Yan stretched out his hand to make an invitation, and replied slowly: "Brother Zhou, sit down, listen to Yan slowly." โ
Zhou Qiu sat down with his hands and listened solemnly.
"Since the founding of Gaozu, the Great Zhou Dynasty has continued the method of taking scholars through the imperial examinations of the previous dynasty. Although this law gives more young people from ordinary families the opportunity to enter the official career, the power of the court has always been divided between the powerful families.
"Young officials who have just entered the official career, if they want to be promoted smoothly, must be dependent on the powerful and willing to be driven by them. It can be said that the first thing they owe to new officials is not the imperial power, but the ministers. โ
Speaking of this, Han Yan paused slightly, and said in a low voice: "If nothing else, let's take the Han and Sun families as an example, over the years, there are still few scholars from humble backgrounds under their respective commands?"
"Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that the minister of the Qincha who went north to Liaodong this time, Xie Zhiyi, the head of the household department, didn't he also marry the pearl of Chen Youliang's palm, so he successfully became an official? Even if he is outstanding in learning, he has been praised by the head of the Guozijian Division.
Later, as Mr. Chen retired due to illness, Mr. Xie's career has been struggling. In order to further this life, in the face of Lord Shoufu's invitation, Lord Xie couldn't refuse at all.
"Brother Zhou knows these things?"
Seeing that Han Yan was honest with each other, Zhou Qiu naturally stopped hiding it, nodded and replied solemnly: "That's true......"
If he hadn't been reincarnated into a good family, he would have to choose one of the two families of Sun, Han, or other powerful families, and attach himself to him in order to be promoted.
No, it should be said that Rao is a scholarly family like the Zhou family, an official eunuch for many generations, and if he wants to gain a firm foothold in the court, the children of the clan have a smooth career, and they have to "cling" to a top magnate like the Sun family......
