901: Yan Shu is here
Fan Zhongyan blinked, but refused to speak.
He himself was the beneficiary, and he was chic when he was an official.
If you don't do anything for a day, you know how to travel. Wine and beautiful women are companions, this official is really like a fairy. So he has no position to speak about this, otherwise Bao Zheng will slap him in the face with his own hands.
But this is a slap in the face!
The emperor of the old Zhao family needs to coax the civil officials to sit in peace...... Yan Shu, Yan Shu, you are really bold and scary, this is the Song Dynasty version of the dragon scales!
Lu Yijian was a little entangled, not knowing whether to come out to ease the atmosphere.
From his point of view, Yan Shu's words were right, those rewards should be stopped, or at least reduced. If the reduction is successful, any disaster relief and drought relief will be a trivial matter.
But once it is reduced, it will touch the scales of the world's civil officials, and the risk seems to be a bit big, and Lu Yijian feels that he is afraid that he will not be able to bear it.
Zhao Zhen Muran looked at the Zai Fu, and then said: "Since the third division has money, the biggest problem will be solved, but there is one more thing ......"
He looked at Yan Shu, and Lu Yijian and the others all felt that a storm was coming.
Zhao Zhen's eyes were a little more curious, and he asked, "Yan Qing, I remember that when you gave me a lecture before, you said that the heavens will descend on the Si people...... Are you really not afraid of anything? ”
Once the emperor's wrath came, even the king of the Great Song Dynasty, who was known for his benevolence, could not stop the courtiers when he vowed to get anyone, just like Wang Yaochen, who was dedicated to the country back then......
No matter what your starting point is, if you anger the Son of Heaven, no one can stop it.
Yan Shu's anger has been quite strong recently, so his previous words were the product of impulsiveness, but he did not regret it.
"I'm not afraid."
Yan Shu raised his head, and his white hair moved slightly, "There is only Da Song in the minister's heart, if he dies for this, he will die without regrets." If you return to your hometown for this, although the minister has regrets, he will not regret it. ”
Come on.
Yan Shu's attitude is very tough, just like back then, Zhao Zhen was very young back then, but he still remembers Yan Shu's harshness and seriousness when he lectured.
Such a powerful courtier is now working under his own hands!
Zhao Zhen suddenly smiled, "Since ancient times, disaster relief has been done one hundred times, and it can be implemented fifty times, and the monarchs and ministers of the dynasty must praise them for being honest." But I feel that fifty percent is not enough, what does Yan Qing think? ”
Yan Shu was stunned for a moment, and after saying those words, he prepared the roll and went home, but ...... He looked up and looked over presumptuously and rudely.
Zhao Zhen was smiling, and he couldn't see a trace of anger.
"Your Majesty, I would like to go."
Zhao Zhen nodded, "Then you can go and see those officials and people." ”
Officials and the people, the officials are in the forefront......
This shows that Zhao Zhen wants Yan Shu to go to see the rulers, disasters are a good opportunity to make a fortune in many cases, and sending Yan Shu at this time is to release a signal of nuclear weapons.
Old and young masters, big girls and little daughters-in-law, I have released my trump card!
Hurry up and shrink your corrupt dirty hands, otherwise if you are caught by Yan Shu, you will ask for more blessings.
Yan Shu arched his hand and said murderously: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, if the minister goes down this time, if he can't get twenty officials, the minister will have no shame to return to Beijing." ”
Depend on!
This Yan Shu is so ruthless, even more fearless than Wang Zhen back then!
It is said that there are twenty officials, but according to Yan Shu's temperament, these are all officials, and the higher the rank of this official, the better.
The wind is blowing!
Several Zaisuke were thinking that some of their people were officials in the disaster area, and if there were, they would quickly send someone to warn them.
Yan Shu is here, hurry up and be honest!
In fact, it is very simple to deter corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and it is enough to deal with them fairly and strictly.
Yan Shu is fair enough, isn't it?
Enough!
This Yan Xianggong, who is known as a gentleman, except for the later Fan Zhongyan in the Great Song Dynasty, is there anyone else who can compare with him?
Yan Shu held his head high, and then returned to the Third Division to arrange for people to be responsible for allocating money and food, but he took his men out of the capital.
……
Zhao Yunrang and Qin Wei also went out of the capital, and fifty cavalry served as escorts.
The two of them came out to fight the front station on Zhao Zhen's secret order, and they also prepared for the arrival of Yan Shu later.
Less than five miles out of the city, there are more fields on the roadside.
The wheat in the field looked listless, and a group of farmers were carrying water for watering.
"Big brother, it's okay to look at!" Zhao Hao thought it was pretty good, at least he didn't see any cracking of the land.
"It's not far from the city, and there's a river for irrigation."
The group drifted away, and when the surrounding area became desolate, the fields looked a little amazing.
"Is the ground cracking?"
Zhao Yunrang squatted on the edge of the field, touching the somewhat dry wheat, "Brother Qin, is there still a harvest in this field?" ”
Qin Wei also squatted down, grabbed the soil and pinched it vigorously, and said, "It can be harvested, but the yield will be reduced." ”
He looked at the black-spotted houses in the distance and sighed, "But the peasant families have no surplus food!" If this year's harvest fails, the days will be unbearable, so you can only borrow. Borrow. But once that kind of black-hearted loan is borrowed, it is difficult to repay it, and you can only break the house in the end. ”
"It's pathetic."
Zhao Yunrang is not as well-informed as his eldest brother, but he still has compassion, even more.
He stood up and looked at the wheat field and asked, "Brother Qin, why don't you see someone carrying water for watering?" ”
"I don't know! Check it out. ”
There was a village ahead, and they were supposed to be the owners of the fields, and they walked slowly along the ridges, passing a small dry river.
Zhao Yunrang exclaimed: "It's broken." ”
Qin Wei frowned and said, "Don't be surprised, how can there be a drought if you keep flowing?" ”
The guard behind him said, "King Qiyu, Bianhe...... Many tributaries of the Yellow River, including water, are much less water, and this year is likely to be difficult. ”
The big river has water, the small river is full, the small river is broken, and the life of the big river is not easy.
When I entered the village, I saw a group of people kneeling there, and there was a statue of a god in front of them with cigarette smoke in front of them......
"Ridiculous!"
Zhao Yunrang's voice alarmed those pious people, and when they looked back at the two teenagers, someone scolded: "This is praying for rain, don't disturb the gods, get out!" ”
It is a village of more than 300 households, which is not small and matches the number of fields around it.
But the fields outside are drought, the wheat is withering, and these farmers are praying to the gods for rain...... Zhao Yunrang's heart was sad, and he felt that these people were too ignorant.
But Qin Wei was different, he looked at the statue lightly, without awe but also without anger.
The people of all dynasties have believed in the gods, whether you say ignorance, you say that you have sustenance in your heart, existence is reasonable, it depends on how you look at it.
The beliefs of the Han people have never been single-minded, today they believe in this, and tomorrow they believe in that. What's more, when they see the gods, they bow down and don't care about any conflicts between them.
But these villagers are very religious, and some of them kneel for an unknown amount of time, and when they get up, one of them stumbles, and then they fall down.
Shenhan slowly turned around, stared at Zhao Yunrang with dull eyes, and shouted, "Who are you?" ”
He was like a god, gradually regaining his dignity and his eyes becoming more lively.
And those villagers who slowly approached were like his subordinates, all of them were furious, and their expressions were hideous, like demons.
"Who are you?"
Zhao Yunrang took a step closer and said, "That's fake, the so-called prayer for rain is fake!" ”
"The blasphemer will be crushed!"
Shenhan picked up a bowl and drank it all, the villagers began to curse, Zhao Yunrang's guards shouted to stop, and the two sides began to confront.
"It's a god!"
The old man at the head was furious, he looked at the fairy fixedly, and felt that the eyes of the wood carving seemed to have magic in them, making him want to fall into them.
"Gods...... If the gods existed, they would not sit idly by and watch the people suffer. If the gods know, why don't they rain down? ”
Some of the villagers picked up a stone and threw it at it, smashing it in front of it and rolling it a few times.
"This is a deception, if the gods are there, they should guard the side instead of waiting to burn incense and pray...... How long have you been praying? All the crops of the field have been forsaken, but what about the gods? Where are the gods? ”
Zhao Yunrang slowly approached, and the guards protected him on his left and right.
The eyes of the villagers were fierce, and Qin Wei was sure that they really dared to kill, so he looked at him, and Lin Xiaobei moved two steps to the left without leaving a trace.
It happened to be stuck between Zhao Yunrang and those villagers.
The god shouted, "This is a blasphemer, drive him out, or the gods will be furious and rain more calamities." ”
Zhao Yunrang looked up at him and said angrily: "Take him down!" ”
That's his response!
Be reasonable...... These villagers were all bewitched by the god, and to reason was to kill themselves, and they would be driven out by the villagers with hoes.
"What do you do? What do you want to do? ”
"Fuck off, this is our place!"
"Someone! Beat them away! ”
The villagers roared.
Zhao Yunrang raised his hand, "Draw a knife to warn!" ”
Choke!
The sound of a long knife coming out of its sheath suddenly appeared, and the scene fell silent.
"You ...... Who are you? ”
An old man walked out, he looked at the long knives, and said with difficulty: "Dare to ask which noble person it is?" Villain Wang Dong ......"
The ferocity in the eyes of those villagers dissipated, and they looked a little timid and cowardly.
"You wait to stay here."
Zhao Yun let Lone step forward, Zhao Hao was a little worried, so he followed.
Wang Dong bowed down, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the god man shouted, "They are liars!" Shoot them away, don't be afraid of any sword, the gods are here, and you will be omnipotent. ”
Zhao Yunrang pointed at him, and then said to Wang Dong: "I am Zhao Yunrang." ”
"Who is Zhao Yunrang?"
Wang Dong's face was cloudy, where did the common people know the name of the nobleman.
Take Your Majesty today, everyone knows that his surname is Zhao, and he is called His Majesty Zhao.
As for Zhao, no one knows, and there is no interest in knowing.
This is the people of this time, who have lived in the villages for generations, and have been farming for generations.
They are curious about the outside world, but they can't explore more.
One is money, these years have no money to go out and beggars are almost the same, when Zhenzong, those foreign candidates who came to the capital to participate in the imperial examination, after the palace examination was brushed down, some could only beg all the way home, and later it also triggered the new rule that the palace examination does not abolish the candidates.
The second is the atmosphere, in this atmosphere, most people follow the crowd, every day after being busy, watching their parents, wives and children take a break from going out to play.
