Chapter 991: Brush Prestige
It was difficult for Fu You to make a conclusion immediately, and he had to juggle between ordinary people, scholars, officials, and the forces left behind by the King of Nanyang, and his heart was emaciated.
The situation in Chang'an is complicated, and this is the Great Jin Xiguan, which cannot be ignored, and now he is short of money, food, and people, what he can do is to balance the forces of all parties on the basis of existing resources.
It wasn't until Zhao Hanzhang quickly sent the second batch of relief food that the situation began to change.
Even the officials in Chang'an didn't expect the second batch of relief grain to arrive so soon, and immediately went to Fu You to ask for food and grain.
Fu You seemed to know what they were thinking, and soon after they arrived, the people in Chang'an City also became restless, boldly surrounding the Assassin's Mansion, begging Fu You for help.
The people sent by Fu Yi said from time to time in the crowd, "This is the relief food allocated by the general, just to save us and other victims who have suffered from food shortages, and the assassin can't use it for other purposes just because the army is short of food." ”
"yes, our family is starving to death, and now I'm the only one left."
The people did not go to the palace, and Fu You also said to the officials and generals who came to the door: "You have also seen it, the crowd is excited, if I don't give relief food, I am afraid that they will make trouble." ”
General Liu's face was ugly and said: "If there are people who make trouble, calm down." ”
Fu Yi asked, "How many soldiers and horses can the general take out to quell the chaos?" At that time, how many soldiers will be left to guard the Hangu Pass? ”
He sighed and said: "The people of Chang'an, there are not many~"
So are they really going to kill the rest of the people and force them away because of this little relief?
Everyone stopped talking, and Fu Yi saw that their faces were softened, so he said: "I have reported to the imperial court, asking for grain, grass and money, with the ability of today's general, I am afraid that it will be delivered in a few days." ”
Others are not so optimistic, Zhao Hanzhang is willing to give food to the people, not necessarily willing to give food and grass to the Chang'an defenders, the officials are rich, and they are not her people.
Thinking of this, someone's heart moved, and he looked up at Fu Yi.
Counting up, although Fu Yi has always been a royalist, he has always been biased towards Zhao Hanzhang, and the Zhao and Fu families are married, I heard that the relationship between Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan has always been very good.
Thinking of this, the hearts of the people here became hot, and the words changed instantly, "The assassin is right, there are not many people left in Chang'an, and at this time, the main thing should be to pacify." ”
By the time Fu Yi sent them away, nearly half of the officials and generals in Chang'an City had favored him, plus the officials and generals who belonged to him, he had been able to serve more and less.
As soon as they left, Fu Yi was about to issue the cash-for-work order that had been drawn up long ago, and the vast majority of the people could not read, so in addition to posting announcements, he mainly sent officials to the door of the assassin to preach and solve doubts.
For example, he asked to sweep the streets, repair the houses, level the land, and cut down the firewood for drying......
There are many things to do, and if the weather is getting cold, if you don't take measures to keep warm, I'm afraid that the people will not starve to death, but will freeze to death.
The people of Chang'an quickly accepted the cash-for-work offer, and quickly listed Zhao Hanzhang as the first person to worship and like.
Many people have begun to prepare immortal tablets for her, and some of them will choose good wood to offer her like an ancestral one, and those who are not too particular will choose a good wooden board that they can take out, and ask someone to engrave her name.
The wandering street children in Chang'an City picked up a board from the ruins, graffiti the face of a woman according to their own imagination and offered it, and everyone vied to worship Zhao Hanzhang's immortal tablet.
In the past two years, the first emperor and Zhao Hanzhang have successively given Chang'an relief grain, but not much really fell into the hands of the people, and most of them had to replenish the grain and grass in the army first.
Only these two times, the relief food sent was completely used on them, and I heard that they would have relief food later, how could this make them not love Zhao Hanzhang?
Seeing such a situation, Fu Yi sighed faintly, full of complexity, but did not come forward to correct it.
Unlike Fu Yi's entanglement and cover-up, Qingzhou and Gwangju are fanfare to promote Zhao Hanzhang's benevolence and merits.
Qingzhou was not lightly harmed by Wang Jun, and Guangzhou, Wang Dun ran away with a large army, and when the Xiongnu soldiers and the Shi army captured Gwangju, they were like no one, and all the dock forts in the state were captured by Shi Le and Liu Cong, and the money was looted.
The Dock Fort is like this, let alone in the city, but every house with a little money has been robbed.
Therefore, the arrival of the Zhao family's army, down to the homeless beggars, and up to the eunuchs of the scholars, all raised their hands to welcome.
Seeing this, Zhao Kuan did not twist, and directly endorsed Zhao Hanzhang, and was committed to building Qingzhou into the second Yuzhou, so as to become one of the strong backings of Zhao Hanzhang and Zhao Jiajun.
Gwangju naturally refused to lag behind, and Sun Linghui rebuilt Gwangju while competing with Qingzhou for propaganda, and even sent it back to Chen County.
The words they preached and the things they did made Zhao Hanzhang tremble, and Zhao Ming also felt that they were too sycophants and had the potential to be traitors, so he wrote a letter to tell Zhao Cheng about it.
When Zhao Cheng saw it, he was very angry, and immediately wrote a letter to scold Zhao Kuan, and Sun Linghui was not let go by Zhao Cheng.
The children of the Zhao family basically studied under Zhao Cheng, that is, Sun Linghui, when she was a child, she followed her brother to Zhao's Wubao, and she would also follow a few classes, so Zhao Cheng was not only an uncle of hers, but also a husband of hers, so, after receiving this letter, Sun Linghui felt the same spit on her face as Zhao Kuan, and then blushed a little ashamed.
Still, they won't change.
Of course, this is later, at this time, they have not received the letter, and they are still competing to pat Zhao Hanzhang's sycophants and fight for the hearts of the people for her.
When Fu Tinghan entered Qingzhou, he felt that Qingzhou was very lively, and the streets and alleys were filled with a kind of vitality, although most people were also coarse linen and ragged, but their mental state was very different.
It's just that I haven't seen him for a few days, Zhao Kuan has lost a lot of weight, and he is a little darker, his eyes are blue, but his face is still excited.
Seeing Fu Tinghan, Zhao Kuan tugged at his sleeve, almost crying, "Third brother-in-law, you are finally here, you don't know, I have been looking forward to you coming day and night, the officials below are incompetent, and the data reported is mixed, I have to check them one by one......"
Fu Tinghan said apologetically: "I'm afraid I can't help you, I'm here for something else this time." ”
Zhao Kuan was slightly flustered and asked, "What's the matter?" Could it be that the general doesn't like me to buy people's hearts for her, so he is no longer limited to scolding me in letters, and has specially sent you to scold me? ”
Fu Tinghan choked, intending to give up the various questions that popped up in an instant, and said to him: "I'm here to dry salt and change the salt policy." ”
Zhao Kuan said: "Hasn't the method been researched yet?" Didn't you write a way for the craftsmen to ponder slowly? Why did you come here in person? ”
Fu Tinghan didn't say much, but said: "The imperial court is in urgent need of salt now, we have to figure out the salt separation of seawater before next year, you pick out a few craftsmen, let them go to the beach with me." ”
Good night
