I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 371 Luoyang Zhigui
Before Xun You left, Liu Bian hesitated for a moment and then warned: "I heard that there are many officials in Yizhou who collude with local big families. When the public reaches Yizhou, you can pay attention to them."

Xun You resigned after accepting his promise.

Right Fufeng.

He Yong called Niu Er, held up the letter in his hand and said, "This is the emperor's personal reply. The emperor remembers you in his heart. Now, you should be relieved, right?"

Niu Er's eyes opened into bull's eyes again.

"He... Mr. He... are you... really... really?" In his excitement, he even spoke a little incoherently.

He Yong was not upset after being questioned. He explained: "It involves the emperor, how can I tell lies?"

Niu Er left happily, and soon after, the news spread in the countryside again.

Even if the villagers didn't see He Yong at this time, they were all in awe when they saw He Yong's house.

Niu Er even talked about all these things to everyone he met. At the end of the sentence, he never forgot to add - "This is the emperor's reply to me!"

According to the memorial written by Wang Hong, the prefect of Hongnong, more than 4,000 people died as a result of the collapse of Mount Hua. Jingzhao next door was not far from Huayin County, so there were also casualties.

In Luoyang, as the damage status of various disaster-stricken areas has been calculated, Shangshutai is already working on formulating a new round of tax reduction policies.

Then he began to enjoy the envious looks of others.

A very helpless thing is that every time there is a natural disaster, someone will argue that "the energy of the heaven and the earth does not lose its order; if it goes out of order, the people will be in chaos. The yin and yang are reversed, so there will be earthquakes, and then there will be continuous heavy rains." This further links natural disasters with government affairs.

Compared with Fufeng, the direct casualties caused by the earthquake in Hongnong County were undoubtedly greater, especially in Huayin County, the epicenter of the earthquake.

But reality told Liu Bian that he was too happy.

At this time, he had moved back into his renovated house, smiling all day long, just hoping that the water in his land would subside soon.

This is not the first time Liu Bian has experienced this kind of turmoil. He has experienced it so much that he is even a little numb. As long as he doesn't scold him too much, he will let it go.

Liu Bian now understands that even if he is not at fault and the country encounters such a disaster, as the emperor, it doesn't matter if he is a little wronged.

Faced with this situation and the current situation of heaven and man's induction, even though Liu Bian knew that this was just a simple movement of the earth's crust, he had to issue an edict to take the fault of the earthquake on himself, ordering "Everyone of you, my lord, should consider my fault and understand." Chen Zhi" to prevent public opinion from getting out of control again.

Liu Bian could only be grateful that Emperor Guangwu had transferred Huayin County from Jingzhao to Hongnong. Otherwise, Liu Bian would have received a self-incriminating edict that focused on "poorly complaining about one's faults."

It is better to block than to block. Relying on power to control public opinion will only be counterproductive. As long as the remarks are not too outrageous, some people must be given a channel to vent.

Hua Tuo, who was ordered to lead a team of doctors to Huayin County, wrote a letter - near Huashan Mountain, not a single house was left, the land was Qiu Ruins, countless families were killed, and hundreds of clan members were killed, not even one out of ten...

For example, they used this to attack the third auxiliary's farmland for "benefiting officials and harming the people."

Thinking on the bright side, now that farming is being established, there are many officials in charge who are relatively honest and idealistic students. Considering the long-term future, this kind of worry is not entirely unreasonable.

But there is another explanation for the motive of this statement - the farming hinders the "people" from annexing, which of course benefits the officials and harms the people. Putting aside the troubles of the previous court, Liu Bian came to the Central Palace.

After Cai Yan became the queen, apart from her moving to the queen's exclusive palace, Tang Wan and Dong Heng both maintained their status quo and stayed in the middle palace and did not move to Yeting.

Liu Cheng and Liu Ze still only laugh while grabbing Liu Bian's fingers.

Their faces had grown a bit, and they were no longer as ugly as when they were just born. When Liu Bian saw them, he only felt that Wai Chao's slight annoyance and slight noise were not worth caring about.

Cai Yan is also aware of the voices from the outside world. As smart as she is, of course she will not mention this matter deliberately. Instead, she tells Liu Bian the interesting story that Liu Cheng wants to grab whatever he sees as long as he opens his eyes, and they are very happy for a while.

Fufeng, Zhao Rong personally visited He Yong. This was the first time the two met after He Yong came to Fufeng.

During this period, the public opinion about Sanfu's farming was inevitably discussed.

When He Yong heard this, he immediately slapped the case and shouted angrily: "Others don't know what the inside story is, but I have been here for a long time. How can I not know the inside story? Farming is good for officials and even more good for the people! I'm afraid there are people who are interested in it for their own selfish interests. That’s why I’m criticizing you!”

These words touched Zhao Rong's heart. He swallowed the roasted mutton in front of him, paired it with a sip of water and wine, and then complained: "Only those of us who have been involved in Fufeng farming in recent years can understand the hardships involved. "

"Boqiu, you don't know that when it was the most difficult time, I followed Huangfu Gong to fight everywhere, but in just over a month, I lost more than ten kilograms."

He Yong looked at Zhao Rong's rich body. Although he felt that this was good in his heart, he said openly: "That's exactly it!"

After thinking about it, He Yong said again: "This time the wind and rain are heavy, everyone is united, and the officials and the people are united. I intend to write an article about this incident to highlight the public opinion here and to put things in perspective."

Zhao Rong was overjoyed when he heard this and said with a smile: "With Boqiu's talent, this talent will be spread all over the world and rectify Fufeng's reputation!"

After that, He Yong spent ten months writing down the content that he had in mind, based on personal experience and feelings. After several revisions, it became "Fufeng Zhishui Fu", also known as "Fufeng Fu".

The poem records that officials and rural virtuous people led the people who actively defended their homes to eliminate flood hazards, and there are also several touching stories.

For example, not entering the house three times, staying up all night and forgetting to eat and sleep, not leaving the ditch even after minor injuries...

This is simply in line with today's scholars' imagination of a world where political leaders and people are well-connected. Although it is incomparable with the ancient holy kings, and Fufeng is not a well, the noble character of people can already be demonstrated from it.

He Yong has disappeared from the eyes of the world for more than two years. Now, as soon as his talent was spread to Luoyang, it immediately attracted the pursuit of Luoyang scholars.

Even Zuo Bo paper, which is the most convenient for writing in Luoyang, is one of the most expensive.

One month later, an edict came to Fufeng, announcing He Yongxin's appointment as Yilang.

After receiving the edict, He Yong looked at Zheng Tai and Zhou Ang who were stunned and smiled slightly.

During this period, both of them saw He Yong's performance, and they were supportive of He Yong's attempts. Although they have now adapted to the poor life in the countryside in Fufeng, if they could go back to the days when they used to wear clothes and food to open their mouths, they would be foolish to refuse.

Zheng Tai and Zhou Ang looked at He Yong's heartfelt smile, as if they were saying: I've taught you the method, it's up to you whether you can use it or not.
