Chapter 0280: The Heart of the People

In the first year of Guangxi, Xia, Luoyang.

The drought lasted more than a month, and the rain began to fall in June. Thanks to the hot season, the refugees from all over the country would not freeze to death on the road. When the refugees gathered outside Luoyang, the big families outside the city had been giving Congee relief. Although the atmosphere of luxury spread, the Central Plains still kept some traditions of responsibility.

Only relying on the folk, people gradually became more and less Congee, and there was still hunger and death.

The game between the two major groups is fierce, and the attention of the court is no longer focused on this aspect. Even if it is mentioned, no important officials pay attention. Only Wang Yun and Lu Zhi, at the request of Ye Qing, submit a letter to Empress Dowager He regarding this matter.

At this time, there was a long drought without rain, and the earth was steaming upwards, scorching hot and sweating profusely. Lu Zhi was reporting, and his wording was somewhat clever: "Once the epidemic spreads for a hundred miles, the city will be affected, and the elderly, weak, women, and children are prone to contracting the disease

Empress Dowager He changed her color and looked at her young son, pondering and asking, "Do you have any good methods

Wang Yun and Lu Zhi exchanged a glance and thought to themselves that the outcome was not unexpected. Lu Zhi stopped talking when he saw this. Wang Yun spoke up, "Please use the six methods: first, establish disaster relief camps and record the names of the people; second, set up special relief and control food supply; third, isolate and maintain cleanliness in each camp; fourth, use work as a substitute for relief and dredge the water network in the jurisdiction

Empress Dowager He listened half heartedly and looked at everyone below, "Do you have any objections

No one spoke up, and most of the courtiers were speechless in their hearts, secretly laughing that they didn't care about important matters at the moment, and even brought up such trivial matters.

Whoever wants this, just give it up!

Seeing that no one objected, Empress Dowager He made a decision and said, "Based on this, Wang Qing, you will handle this matter

This has been submitted to Wang Yun for implementation, but how could Wang Yun handle this task? To put it more clearly, it's just a matter of verbal abuse. Now that the two major groups are in a standoff, there's no time.

At that moment, he said, "This document was submitted by Captain Liu Bei of the Cavalry Department. I am only forwarding it to you. Since the Empress Dowager has an order, it would be better for Captain Liu Bei of the Cavalry Department to take charge

As he spoke, he looked at Liu Bei. Did you provoke this matter or did you solve it yourself? Of course, Wang Yun's agreement to this matter was not without benefits. These few measures actually temporarily controlled some security forces in Luoyang!

Oh? "Empress Dowager He looked around and saw Ye Qing turning out from a corner of the palace in the distance, bowing and saying," My minister Liu Bei is here

Then let Liu Qing handle it

Yes! "Ye Qing responded to the order, although she did not have a clear position on her body, she still had a lot of power to be temporarily dispatched.

Ye Qing often went to the refugee camp and came back late every day, putting in a lot of effort, which was definitely not perfunctory.

After years of famine, the Changping warehouse of the imperial court was actually empty, but it could only squeeze a little bit. Jian Yong was sent to various households as a lobbyist, playing a role of a beggar.

Under the push of some conscientious individuals, many intentionally or unintentionally, the scholars couldn't help but ridicule Ye Qing, saying, "What a newly risen Marquis of Guannei in the refugee camp

Ye Qing came to the shed and saw ten sheds, one by one, with a large pot full of rice porridge. Someone was stirring the rice porridge with a ladle.

Ye Qing stepped forward and smelled a musty smell, couldn't help but furrow her brow and ask Jian Yong, "Can I eat it

I can eat, but I'm hungry in the blink of an eye! "Sighed Jian Yong." Each family has given me less, so I can only do this. Besides, these refugees can't eat enough

Ye Qing understood this and sighed out of the shed. Giving up Congee is a way of saving lives. It can't make the victims eat better than ordinary people in Luoyang. In this case, the whole Luoyang city will come to eat.

And if the refugees eat enough, they will cause trouble.

Continuing forward, I met someone and asked, 'Where are you from?'

A disaster victim replied, "Sir, we are from Dongqiu County

Ye Qing paused for a moment and said, "Dongqiu, how many people are there in your county here

More than 300 of them are from several nearby towns on the road together. There were originally over 500, but now there are only these left

"Do you want to go back to your hometown?"

I thought... but our family encountered a bandit army and there was no one left

Ah

Ye Qing stood up and stood at the entrance of the shed, squinting his eyes at the starving people. Jian Yong complained, but Ye Qing just smiled and said, "We're here for the refugees. What's not a beggar? It's just that... if we take a little bit, we can make hundreds or thousands of people survive, so why bother with this spirit

The face of an unnamed rural old man flashed before her eyes again, and she asked Zhou Ling, "Is that little girl okay

Fortunately, she is very obedient... "Zhou Ling's eyes lit up slightly, with a soft luster.

Upon seeing this, Jian Yong fell silent and sighed in his heart, "This is my lord

I heard Ye Qing say, "Actually, the method of farming that I mentioned before is the integration of agriculture and soldiers. Taking this opportunity, I want to try it again

Upon hearing the integration of agriculture and military forces, both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei perked up their ears. Ye Qing quickly said, "The court cannot do this right now... Speaking of which, I hope you can learn something. Our method of farming can be used to preserve vitality to the greatest extent possible... Ahem, let's talk about the details

On such a day, the refugee camp struggled to survive, and it was hard to see how much public sentiment had gathered or how effective this persistence had been.

Some people in the main world say, "Dong Zhuo has arrived and set fire to Luoyang. It's not the end of everything. Why should Second Rank Duke do this

I can't guess the thoughts of the second ranked Duke... let's take another look

But more people remained silent.

East of the city, a hotel.

Many close to aristocratic families refuse to speak again at banquets and quickly bid farewell. Yu Fan's expression shows no signs of joy or anger, and his attitude is gentle as he stands up to bid farewell.

A young man with white powder on his face drank the cup in one fell swoop, flipping over the bottom of the cup. He stood up and left, bowing his hand and apologizing, "Last time I used the Taiping Road, I still missed it. Our Zhang family was blamed, and the loss was not small. It's really difficult to continue, Brother Yu Haihan

I understand, it's still me who dragged everyone down, "Yu Fan sighed as he watched these people leave. He knew that the emotions of these aristocratic families had consumed a lot, and they might be able to do other things. However, it would be difficult to deal with Ye Qing and they had to pay a high price.

It seems that this time we can only press... Many vassal families think the same way, either avoiding Yu Fan's gaze or politely persuading, "Sir, it's hard to be startled by a dragon sting

You're right, "Yu Fan sighed and said to the crowd," It's okay to miss this time. There were plenty of opportunities for the lords to attack Dong, and the outcome will be seen on the battlefield

Looking at the new scholar again, 'What does Mr. Zibu think?'

This scholar is calm and elegant, surnamed Zhang and named Zhao, with the courtesy name Zibu. He didn't answer this question, but just smiled and patted his hands, saying, "My lord, this time we are fighting up and down. If we go back, we will be able to sweep across the eastern part of the Yangtze River. If there is something happening in the Central Plains during this time, why worry about not having the opportunity for the Northern Expedition

This remark touched everyone's hearts and they all agreed: "Mr. Kou's strategy is still as sharp as this

I thought to myself, "How many times have the Yu family been suppressed by the Ye family, and even our vassals have suffered losses? If it weren't for the excellent geographical location in Jiangdong this time, would we still dare to bet

If it still doesn't work out... "A hint of gloom flashed through everyone's hearts, quickly throwing it away:" No, it's impossible. With our group, Sun Jian will be more geographically advantageous and harmonious than in history. We just need to wait for the combination of heaven and time... If we follow the development of history, the various lords in the Central Plains and the north will all fight fiercely. How could there be no heaven and time

As long as we follow the rules, this world is vast, and our Yu faction is sure to win

After waiting for these people to go down, Yu Fan changed his color and said, "Hmph, these wall grass, more than ten families, are willing to put in all this effort and still want to take credit

Mr. Kou was surprised to see Yu Fan suddenly turn his face and speak in a stern tone, but he quickly calmed down and bowed to Yu Fan, saying, "Master, you're being too harsh

They all have their own foundations. Although they are not county lords, they are also wealthy families in the county. This is the foundation. The lord's governance, connections, and influence all rely on them

My lord, both of them have made sacrifices this time, some of whom are still legitimate descendants. They are already uncomfortable, and if we continue to squeeze them, we are afraid it will make them feel cold

At first, Yu Fan sneered, but as he listened, he gradually calmed down. Finally, his face turned pale and he remained silent for a while before sighing and saying, "I was reckless, but I'm worried

Lord, are you worried about Ye Qing? "Mr. Kou also sighed deeply." The Grand General and the Ten Eunuchs are fighting against each other, but this person took advantage of being injured to do this. This is like sitting on a mountain watching a tiger fight

Now, both inside and outside the city of Luoyang, there are refugees singing praises to Liu Bei, a member of the Han royal family. He came to every powerful family with injuries to save his life for the refugees, and his reputation has been shaken far and wide

At this moment, Hande has not declined, and the refugees hope that the Han Dynasty can save the people in the midst of fire and water

At this time, the emperor did not come forward, but a member of the Liu family came forward. There have been rumors among the people that the one who saved me must be this person

This is taking Hande over to oneself - and, with the public opinion spreading so quickly, I don't believe no one pushed it. This kind of city is really at risk of mountains and rivers

As Yu Fan listened, his face turned paler and he gave a bitter smile, "Yes, that's why I'm so worried. Ye Qing is only eighteen years old, how could she be so profound

Now Ye Qing is a Marquis of Guannei, a Cavalry Captain, and has such a high reputation. I'm afraid it won't take long for him to catch up with my family - if this son doesn't die, I won't be able to eat well

The Grand General's Mansion is filled with singing and dancing.

Cao Cao's body trembled when he heard this news. He was the grandson of a eunuch and had just entered the officialdom as a lieutenant in the northern part of Luoyang.

Luoyang has four lieutenants, namely the Eastern, Southern, Western, and Northern tribes. In terms of the upper realm, they are in charge of civil security in the northern part of the imperial capital, and set up five colored sticks to kill Jian Shuo's uncle who violated the ban. From the perspective of the governor general, although this is a political speculation, it is also a qualification in civil affairs.

Even if the eunuch group is demoted to a local level, they must still be promoted openly, and become the magistrate of Dunqiu County!

This son has been transferred from the position of county magistrate for three years. Is this to attract people's hearts and cultivate reputation, to become the prime minister, or to become the governor? "Even Cao Cao, with his magnanimity, frowned slightly." It's a pity to let him join Wang Yun's line. It will be difficult to suppress him again... No, there is still one more chance

Just, do you want it or not? If we continue this step, it will become completely intense, "Cao Cao frowned.

Even as a governor, without reasonable reasons, it is difficult to depose or kill a second ranking official, especially one who has not yet joined the system.

After hesitating for a few steps, a cold light gradually appeared in Cao Cao's eyes.
