Fang Xiu followed Chen Chao and walked into the camp.

As soon as he came in, the old man was doing what he had been doing for half a month.

A pair of eyes squinted slightly, looking left and right at the surroundings with his hands behind his back.

But after looking around, the environment in the camp disappointed Fang Xiu, because it was not as interesting as other places in Qingshan County, and there were no new things.

"Sit down."

Chen Chao led Fang Xiu to a place where he could bask in the sun, and asked his subordinates to bring two chairs and make a pot of good tea.

Fang Xiu is not a person who cares too much about the environment, he sat down in his sleeve robe and basked in the warm sun.

Before Fang Xiu could speak, Chen Chao arched his hand and spoke first, "I have been busy with affairs these days, and I don't have time to meet Lord Fang, Lord Fang, don't be surprised, don't be surprised....."

It was really Chen Chao who gave an order a few days ago, he knew that Fang Xiu had arrived in Qingshan County, and he also knew that this old man was not easy to deal with, so he asked the guards to find a way to stop Fang Xiu and not allow this old man to come in.

When it came to this, Fang Xiu couldn't say anything to blame.

But thinking about it these days, he called the door in front of the camp, and Chen Chao couldn't come out to see Fang Xiu or still sulk.

After tasting a cup of tea, the two opened the conversation.

"Lord Fang, what are you doing here?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing? There is nothing to do, Lord Fang dragged his sick body, and rushed all the way from the capital to here? Didn't His Majesty send Lord Fang over to test his true appearance? Your Majesty is really, how can you ignore Lord Fang's body. ”

When Fang Xiu heard this, he glared at Chen Chao beside him, "Chen Chao, you don't have to point fingers at Sang and scold Huai here. This matter has nothing to do with Your Majesty, it is the old man himself who wants to come. ”

"I see...... Chen Chao nodded and thought for a while, "Lord Fang is coming by himself?" Could it be that he inspected the people's situation on the surface, secretly collected evidence of the prime minister's great fortune, and then returned to Beijing to refer to the prime minister's book? ”

"Chen Chao! Chen Tu Dog! ”

"How can it be!"

Fang Xiu stood up suddenly, his face turning blue with anger.

"If you're so angry, sit down quickly."

Chen Chao waved his hand, smiled, turned his head and ordered, "That Bai Zhi, give Master Fang another cup of tea." ”

Fang Xiu waved his sleeves and said in a deep voice:

"Chen Chao! Although the old man can't get used to seeing you leaning towards the government and the opposition, and ignoring people's lives, he will never be a villain behind his back, and it is true to inspect the people's feelings, as for the rest, the old man is not interested. ”

Fang Xiu is a scholar of Wenchang Pavilion University, and when it comes to Fang Xiu, it is also a legend. Fang Xiu's parents died when he was a child, he grew up eating hundreds of meals and wearing hundreds of clothes, if nothing else, his fate should be similar to that of the landlord's cattle herding baby, and his whole life has passed like this, but Fang Xiu has been smart and studious since he was a child, and likes to read, even if it is winter, he has to walk dozens of miles of mountain roads and go to the school to listen, even if his feet are frozen and rotten, he does not stop for a day.

In this way, Fang Xiu went from an orphan in a mountain village to decades of ups and downs in the sea, and finally paid homage to the scholar of Wenchang Pavilion University, and deserved to enjoy the Taimiao after his death.

It can be said that he is the idol of all those who read!

But it was such a great Confucian who was respected by scholars that he was humiliated in public by Chen Chao in the court, and he almost cut off people's heads.

No matter how you look at it, Chen Chao is a wicked person!

Now, the two people who have had a holiday are in the same sunshine, with different purposes, starting a dialogue.

"On the eighth day of the first month of the first month, the old man officially arrived in Qingshan County, what he heard and saw along the way made the old man wonder if he was in the wrong place, the disasters of previous years, whether it was drought or flood, or snow plague and locust plague, what he saw along the way, the people will never be as full of vitality as Qingshan County, with infinite longing for a better life in the future."

"Cement mortar, affordable red bricks, wide official roads, dams, bridges that can cross four carriages side by side...... There are also well-planned streets in the city, no one would have thought that this was the hardest-hit area a few years ago, and this was what the old man saw with his own eyes, and he would not fake. ”

"And these are all done by you, don't mention that Qin Xiangru, the head of the household, is like that stupid pig, he only pats the ass on weekdays, and can blow the cow to the sky, and the others are useless, if it weren't for your instructions, he couldn't do this."

"In this way, your disaster relief plan has been very successful, but there is one thing that the old man would like to remind you is that the amount of money you have spent to rebuild the disaster area is too great to imagine...... Before coming, the old man calculated an account for you, these hundreds of thousands of victims, you eat three meals a day, in the past two months, the food consumption is not more than millions of stones, the remuneration is more than millions of taels, all these money is taken by the household department, take the money and grain in the treasury. ”

"What are you going to do to fill this huge shortfall? If you can't fill the hole, those courtiers will use this as an excuse to impeach you, and you can't get away with the guilt. ”

Chen Chao held a cup of tea in his hand, twisted his eyebrows slightly, and did not open his mouth to interrupt Fang Xiu's tirade, but listened to every word in his heart.

"Although you are doing good deeds for the sake of the people, the courtiers do not see this."

After a cup of tea, Chen Chao spoke, and he said, "Lord Fang, is this worrying about his true appearance?" ”

Fang Xiu sighed and stroked his sleeves, very helpless, "The old man is worried about those people, their big tree has fallen, the tree has fallen and scattered, Qingshan County, which has been established with great difficulty, do you want to watch it give up halfway?" ”

Chen Chao smiled, and for the first time, the other party had a different opinion.

This old man is quite interesting.

I came around the bush to remind myself to prepare early, because after returning to Beijing, there would inevitably be an impeachment.

Clearing his throat, Chen Chao stood up and said:

"What Lord Fang said is true, it is the hundreds of thousands of people in the disaster area who have benefited this time, who have distributed money and grain from the treasury, and moved the meat in the bowls of those who are dead and vegetarian among the courtiers...... They are unwilling and unwilling, so the true appearance is the object of their crusade! ”

"Thank you Lord Fang for your reminder today, I remembered this appearance."

"However, I, Chen Chao, want to say that the prime minister never does things that he is not sure of."

"In this disaster relief, although the prime minister has lost the treasury and is easily taken by others, it is not so easy to step down if he wants the prime minister to step down!"

"This is a petition for the people, so why care about what others think! Behind them are just those gate valve families, and behind the Prime Minister are thousands of people who have rebuilt their homes with their hands, Lord Fang thinks that the Prime Minister will lose? ”

Fang Xiu was shocked by Chen Chao's words, he opened his mouth a few times, but he was forced to hold back, he stood up, but was forced to retreat a few steps by Chen Chao's aggressive momentum.

He felt his whole body tremble.

This feeling of being enthusiastic and worshipful is still the feeling he only had when he changed from a country boy to an official in the court.

Chen Chao...... What kind of character is he?
