“Your Majesty, did you hear about the spring festival held outside Chang’an City yesterday?”
In the imperial study room, Yun Xiyan sat opposite Fu Xiaoguan, picked up the tea cup and asked.
Fu Xiaoguan raised his head and said with a smile: “What? Are you still interested in spring outing?”
“No, I heard it from Sima Tao last night. The boy was very excited when he said it, but it is indeed more novel than the previous spring outings.”
Isn’t the so-called spring outing just about flying kites and chatting about poems and couplets?
Taking advantage of the spring outing, the ladies in the boudoir just went out to get some air and enjoy the scenery, and the literary talents also took this opportunity to show off their talents.
So, every year during spring outings, there would always be some romantic events involving talented people and beautiful women. Such things are what they longed for and expected to meet at their age.
Fu Xiaoguan has already passed that age, and he doesn’t have much interest in it.
“What a novel way?”
“Throwing hydrangeas! But the rules are different from what we know. It’s not about choosing a husband, but the women from the three famous buildings in Night Square are throwing hydrangeas on the stage.”
“Those who accepted the Hydrangea will enjoy free treatment in their building that night. In addition… I heard that it is really possible to be their guest. So there was almost a stampede on the bank of Yueyang Lake yesterday. Those All the sanctimonious talents went crazy after the hydrangea was thrown!”
“Especially the three famous buildings, which caused a sensation among tens of thousands of people. If Huo Huaijin hadn’t sent the garrison to maintain order, someone might have been trampled to death alive!”
“But even then, there were still casualties, two died and more than twenty were injured.”
Fu Xiaoguan then raised his head, “Two dead?”
“Well, Sima Tao said that the accident happened when he was throwing hydrangeas in the Yingmuhuayu of the Milky Way Nine Heavens.”
Fu Xiaoguan frowned and thought for a moment. This was indeed an accident. If there is such a large-scale gathering in the future, they will have to report it to the government office and let the governor of Chang’an send government officials to maintain order.
He didn’t take this matter to heart, because spring outing is not a bad thing, and it cannot be banned just because of this accident. That is called giving up eating because of choking.
He didn’t know that one of the two people who died was Chen Fai Shi, and after Ji Yungui knew that Chen Bie Shi had an accident, he left Chang’an and rushed to Guanyun City.
“The letter from Xi Wen asking you to come is back.”
“He went to Yueshan Road, and is now in Qianshan County, Chongzhou, on Yueshan North Road… Do you know who is the Daotai of Yueshan North Road?”
Yun Xiyan was startled and nodded, “I know, Yan Xibai,” he leaned over and asked in a low voice, “What? Is there something wrong with this Yan Dao platform?”
Fu Xiaoguan did not answer him, but sighed leisurely, “Back then, I went from Linjiang to Jinling because I recruited a group of refugees in Xishan. That year the Yellow River burst its banks, and the people on both sides of the Yellow River suffered. A disaster.”
“The government officials along the Yellow River did not act from top to bottom and sold the disaster relief grain allocated by the court to grain merchants in various places, making huge profits from it.”
“The Emperor of the Yu Dynasty sent several imperial envoys to inspect the disaster relief situation in various areas, and Yan Xibai was responsible for the two Yellow Rivers.”
“This man left a great impression on me because he went deep into the disaster area, regardless of his personal safety, to get a clear picture of the situation in the most severely affected places. He was even almost murdered by local officials for this. ”
“After the founding of the Xia Dynasty, he was one of the first Taoists I appointed because of the trust I had back then.”
Yun Xiyan didn’t know about this part of the past. Now he understood it after hearing Fu Xiaoguan talk about it, but at the same time, he also heard the meaning of Fu Xiaoguan’s words——
Yan Xibai, I’m afraid he has failed the emperor’s expectations!
“Do you know who Zhizhou is in Chongzhou?”
“Zong Clock!”
“Yes, Zong Clock!”
“That year when Xue Dingshan rebelled, I went to the southwest. I met Zong Shiji on the Jinniu Ancient Road. I still remember his father’s name was Zong Qian, who was the magistrate of Baocheng County at the time.”
“In Yu Chunqiu’s handsome account, I asked Zong Shiji to do the exam questions for Enke in the 10th year of the Xuanyuan calendar that year… which you referred to. He answered very well, and I also liked it very much. , so after quelling Xue Dingshan’s rebellion, I brought him back to Jinling.”
“His wife is Wei Hanxiang, Wei Wubing’s sister. I have never been to the wedding of the two, but Wubing said that they had a son and a daughter. He is the magistrate of the state appointed by me! He is talented, He doesn’t seem like a depraved and corrupt person…”
Fu Xiaoguan smiled bitterly and shook his head, “So, people may change.”
Yun Xiyan was shocked. He knew Zong Shiji, and they even had hot pot together in Jinling.
That is indeed a young man with talent and ideals and ambitions, but why has he changed?
The emperor mentioned these two people in front of me. Both of them were people he once valued very much, but they both betrayed him in the end… So what did he mean by these words?
“Don’t think too much, I’m just feeling a little emotional. I haven’t touched them yet, but I have sent people from the Imperial Office to investigate secretly.”
“Calling you here is another matter. Qianshan County is very poor, unimaginably poor!”
“The entire county has six towns and 24 villages under its jurisdiction, with a total population of more than 220,000, of which the number of poor people is 160,000!”
“That is to say, except for residents in the county, all rural people are poor. It is March, and Xiwen has visited many rural families. They don’t even have seeds for sowing, let alone cattle for farming. ”
“The Ministry of Household Affairs has to allocate special funds to buy cattle and seeds for them. But the money can no longer go down the mountain road. According to Xi Wen, a large area of the place is already rotten! Even if all funds are allocated, No matter how much money is spent, after layers of plucking, almost no money will end up in the hands of the people.”
“So I want to ask you, how should we handle this matter more appropriately?”
Wu Tianci, who was sitting aside, listened carefully. Only then did he know what his father had done, and he also realized that his father had also known the wrong person, so this should be what his father said. No fault, right?
In this prosperous summer, it turns out that there are still such poor people. It turns out that this is the reason why my father mentioned rural revitalization.
“The Ministry of Household Affairs will send a specialist to handle it on the spot!”
“But doing so will definitely arouse the vigilance of local officials, so the Imperial Office will move faster.”
“I think there is no need to bring the money down below. The Ministry of Household Affairs directly purchases cattle seeds and farming equipment, transports them to the towns, and collects them according to the roll call in each town. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?”
This is a benefit plan.
The letters from Qin Mowen and Ning Yuchun haven’t come back yet, and the place they went to is probably not optimistic either.
How can the Ministry of Household Affairs send so many people to various impoverished areas? After all, local governments are needed to complete this matter.
But in Qianshan County, the Ministry of Household Affairs must handle it personally, and all the officials found in the entire Yueshan Road…
“Let’s do what you want first.”
“I am really too kind.”
“Then let all the officials see if my sword is sharp through this matter!”
