Chapter 102, Smiling Tiger

Yangzhou Hou Zhang Hong and Zhang Guodong met Pan Long, and they were really talking about disaster relief.

He said straight to the point that as soon as he arrived in Yangzhou, he sent people to investigate the situation of the official warehouses in various places, and the results were not optimistic. If a famine really breaks out, it will be difficult for Yangzhou to support others, even if it wants to protect itself.

These words reached Pan Long's heart, and although he had always been wary of this kind smiling Hou Ye, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, I've been all the way, and I've seen granaries in many places, and it's very bad. ”

Zhang Guodong nodded: "I listened to the report of the patrol envoy, where you pass, there are often people who suddenly have more money in their homes......"

Pan Long smiled: "Is this kind of trivial matter worth asking about in person?"

"There is no small matter in the world. Zhang Guodong looked at one end and said, "The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the anthill." If you don't pay attention to small things, big things will often leak. In my 30 years as an official, I have seen more than one such example. ”

Pan Long nodded, indicating that he was taught.

Of course he had heard of the saying that there was no trivial matter in the world, but a dignified state marquis still had to pay attention to such a trivial matter as the sudden increase in money in the people's homes...... This Tianxia Kui used his practical actions to teach him a lesson.

"I was thinking that since you are going to give money to the people, you must be concerned about the disaster. So when I heard that you had arrived in Yangzhou, I sent someone to find you and wanted to ask you what you thought about the disaster. ”

Pan Long thought for a while and said, "You are better at disaster relief than me, so I won't point fingers." But along the way, I found more than one place where people thought that the cause of the disaster was the change of Prince Luonan, which made the heavens feel something, but I don't know who said this?"

Zhang Guodong's eyes were slightly cold, and he said, "I'm also investigating." To tell the truth, now not only in Yangzhou, but also in Kyushu in the world, there are legends almost everywhere, linking all kinds of natural and man-made disasters with the changes of the second prince. In my opinion, there may not be anyone in the command of this, but it is more likely that they are all the same. ”

"It's all the same......" Pan Long pondered these words and couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Guodong's meaning, of course he understands.

Diluonan's change of law touched the interests of too many people. Naturally, these people will start from all sides and attack the change.

If there is no chance, once they have the opportunity, they are like flies that smell the smell, they will naturally gather from all directions, where do they need any convening or command?

But this situation is also the most helpless.

If there is a mastermind behind them, then they can still follow the vine and touch the melon, and the last cut will be clean. But they are purely spontaneous, so can't they kill them all the way?

If the Great Xia Imperial Court really had the ability to kill all the way through, Di Luonan would not need to change the law, and it would be more convenient to directly destroy the forces that he felt affected the country......

Zhang Guodong also sighed and said, "Don't talk about these unhappy things." You must have seen a lot of granaries along the way, can you write them down so that I can compare them with the findings of the Wind Patrol Envoys?"

"Absolutely. Pan Long immediately agreed, "It's just...... Is it necessary?"

He felt it was a bit redundant.

Zhang Guodong smiled bitterly: "I have just taken office not long ago, and the real reliable manpower is actually very limited. Although the Patrol Messengers are supposed to be reliable, they are so-called prepared. It's better to be more vigilant than to be fooled. ”

Pan Long had a hard time understanding his psychology of being a victim, but he still wrote down the situation in the granaries he saw.

After writing this, Zhang Guodong said that he would also find other heroes to understand the situation and serve tea to guests.

After Pan Long left, the Yangzhou Marquis looked at the paper on the desk where the ink had not dried, and his brows were furrowed.

"The reincarnation of the Mountains and Seas is a great merit...... Could it be that when Pan Long was reincarnated in the past, he first went to be a monk once, and then reincarnated as an ordinary hero?"

"It's not impossible. The scholar who had been serving beside him just now said, "His true body should be the fourth of the Dongshan Sutra, and that scroll of the Shan Hai Sutra has been lost for more than 600 years." If it was relatively fast to become a sperm at the beginning, this time would be enough to be reincarnated several times. ”

Zhang Guodong just shook his head: "If he was able to cultivate in his previous life, why should he be reincarnated again? Buddhism also has the method of immortality, even if he does not become a true Buddha, he can achieve a bodhisattva by borrowing the method of Taoism, or condense the golden body Arhat with merit, he can live forever." ”

Maybe he won't be able to get past that level in his heart after all. ”

Zhang Guodong pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "It's not impossible." The higher you go, the more sad it is in your heart. The foundation of all Buddhist exercises is in the word 'compassion'. But if a person cultivates to the threshold of immortality, but finds that he can't really be compassionate, then it's really a bit sad. ”

What else can I do when this kind of thing happens?

Of course, I had to be reincarnated.

"The Tianji Camp has investigated the great monks and great virtues of the past six hundred years, and there are thirty-seven of them whose conditions can not match. The scholar said, "But if you want to continue the in-depth investigation, I am afraid that there will be a conflict with Buddhism, and now the change of the law is the first priority, so we will stop for the time being, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." ”

"Doing it right, prioritizing priority is the world's first priority. For my Great Xia, no matter what happens to this Dongshan Jing in the future, it is not a big dealβ€”at least it is not a vital matter. But if the change goes wrong, it will be a catastrophe. Zhang Guodong said approvingly, "Next, don't embellish him, just let him act on his own." With his character, no matter what, he will not cause a big mess. ”

"Yes. ”

Zhang Guodong sighed again and looked at the door of the study.

There were two plum trees that had just been transplanted, and they were kept warm by the formation, but they were not affected by frost. Now that the branches have borne fruit, more than 100 knuckle-sized green fruits hang on the branches and sway in the wind, which looks very interesting.

He likes to eat plums, and wherever he goes, he always plants some plum trees in front of his study. When he was forty years old, he even gave himself the document number of "Old Man Li Zhai".

"This year, the fruit trees have also been affected, and I don't know what the price of peaches and plums on the market will be......"

After sighing, he looked cold again and asked, "How is the investigation going on with those lawless people who spread falsehoods and lie to confuse the public?"

"As far as the current investigation is concerned, it seems that there are many civilians. The scholar replied, "This dynasty has never been guilty of speech, and literati dare to say anything." On the contrary, it is businessmen, eunuchs, and Jianghu forces...... They are much more cautious, and although there are people spreading fallacies, there are not many of them. ”

Zhang Guodong nodded, indicating that he already knew.

"Taizu set the strategy of 'limiting martial arts with literature', and used the public opinion of the literati to limit the arrogance of the martial arts. The imperial court treated people differently and encouraged people to learn about culture...... This approach is of course very good, the power of people's hearts and minds may not be seen in ordinary times, but it can always come in handy at critical moments. This time is no exception, and we have to try to guide one or two. ”

"How?" asked the boy.

Zhang Guodong smiled: "It's normal for people who joke with God to be punished by God." ”

The scholar nodded: "I understand." ”

"Go ahead, remember to make the scene bigger, so that those idiots who like to chew their tongues know that it is powerful!" Zhang Guodong still had a smile on his face, but there was a cold light flashing in his eyes, "The sky can't be bullied, and Daxia can't be bullied! If you dare to talk nonsense, you must be prepared to be thundered by the sky!"
