The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 494 Pan Weiji's Counterattack
Being an enemy is the same as fighting a war, and attacking the heart is the most important thing.

Liu Wei knew very well that if he wanted to defeat Pan Weiji, he had to break through Pan Weiji's defenses and make Pan Weiji feel that he was inferior to him. In this way, he would have a very negative thought, which made him think that he would never be own opponent.

And when Pan Weiji had such an idea, it would be much easier for Liu Wei to defeat him.

After the poem was finished, Liu Wei decided to continue this kind of attack. For this reason, he attacked Pan Weiji in all aspects. After a meal, Pan Weiji felt that he was useless, whether it was composing poems, or governing the country. , or other aspects, he is not Liu Wei's opponent.

After the banquet, Liu Wei left proudly, while Pan Weiji sat there lost in thought.

It was a shock today, and it was hard for him to accept the shock. How could it be like this?
Suddenly, Pan Weiji felt an urge to die. He regretted sacrificing Li Shengnan now. If Li Shengnan was here, she would definitely be able to give him advice, but she is dead now.

After returning to the carriage, Pan Weiji didn't come out again, and the team continued to rush to Shangzhou. The scenery along the way was much brighter.

So it wasn't until the evening that Pan Weiji finally figured everything out, and after he figured it out, he suddenly felt that Liu Wei's approach was a bit naive. Could Liu Wei's dignified Pan Weiji be defeated by Liu Wei's words and poems?
He decided to fight back against Liu Wei. He wanted to let Liu Wei know how good he was, and he wanted to let Liu Wei know that he would not lose just because of this.

The night was dark, and the team set up camp in a relatively clean place. Because this was not a war, everyone was not particularly nervous. Liu Wei was a little sleepy after a day of driving, so he went back to his camp directly after dinner I went to rest.

There will be no variables in the matter, let alone any danger.

But when Liu Wei woke up the next day, he found that his tent had changed a little. The change was not very big, but there was one more thing, a dagger on his desk.

Very strange.

How could there be an extra dagger in his camp, did someone want to warn himself with this?
Who is this guy?
Liu Wei quickly thought of Pan Weiji, and if this person is really Pan Weiji, then Pan Weiji's meaning couldn't be simpler, he can kill himself at any time, when he is asleep.

Liu Wei's brows sank, he had never felt so dangerous before.

After putting away the dagger, Liu Wei called the two guards outside the tent: "Was the two of you on duty last night?"

"Yes."

"Yes!"

"After I rested last night, did anyone enter my camp?"

The two guards were a little puzzled, looked at each other and shook their heads: "No one has ever come in."

Liu Wei frowned deeply, this is obviously impossible, if no one has ever entered his camp, then could it be possible that the dagger came here by himself?
"Did the two of you doze off?" It's midsummer now, and it's normal to doze off at night.

The two glanced at each other, and suddenly showed a look of panic.

"Returning to the adults, we take turns. When one person dozes off, the other will wake up, so we can be sure that no one has ever entered the adult's camp."

After the guard finished speaking, another guard quickly asked, "My lord, what is missing?"

Liu Wei frowned, shook his head, and then did not continue this topic, but ordered: "Order people to make breakfast quickly, and we will set off immediately after breakfast, and rush to Shangzhou."
-
The closer they were to Shangzhou, the more refugees there were, and the roads became more difficult.

Although the sky has been fine, the water from the Yellow River and the rain from the past few days have caused puddles everywhere outside Shangzhou.

When they came to the boundary of Shangzhou, the crops that were about to harvest were all submerged by water at this time, and all of them were completely submerged.

Beside the puddle in the field, many people looked at the submerged crops and wept silently. This was their hard work in the first half of the year, but it was ruined by a heavy rain. How would they live the next six months?
Not being able to eat is still a trivial matter, the key is not being able to pay the rent is a major issue. Shangzhou is the hinterland of the Central Plains and a big state that produces food. However, the common people here are not sick enough to own their own land. 80.00% of the land is owned by the gentry, dignitaries and landlords. In his hand, many people in Shangzhou are tenant farmers.

They have contracted the noble land of the landlord, so no matter what the harvest is, they have to pay a fixed rent every year. Now that the farm is destroyed, they can't pay the rent. What should they do?
Liu Wei was very clear about these situations. He had already understood several problems that Shangzhou needed to solve as soon as he arrived at the boundary of Shangzhou.

[-]. The problem of food for the common people.

Second, the construction of the Yellow River dams.

[-]. The common people owe rent to those landlords.

Only by solving these three problems can Shangzhou be stabilized. As for other problems, although Liu Wei's actions may be affected during this trip, they will not affect the stability of Shangzhou.

Many people have already fled this place. If this problem is not resolved, many people will leave. By that time, Shangzhou, which was originally prosperous and rich, will become a wasteland.

But this is a good place to grow food, how can it be turned into a wasteland?
The water flooded Shangzhou, and it was not so easy to enter Shangzhou City. According to the people who came out of Shangzhou City, the streets of Shangzhou City were full of water at this time, and all shops were closed. When the gate was opened, many houses collapsed, and the people in the city left the city to take refuge in high places. Now there are very few people in the city.

And if you want to enter the city, you can use a bamboo raft to go the fastest.

To enter the city, Liu Wei must enter the city. He needs to figure out the current situation in Shangzhou City, and he needs to meet Wang Ning, the prefect of Shangzhou.

So, Liu Wei ordered people to make more than a dozen bamboo rafts, and then led dozens of people to support the bamboo rafts and rushed to Shangzhou City. Along the way, they saw many villages that were flooded and trees that were blown down by wind and rain. Even in the stagnant water, there were still a few corpses floating, and a child sat on a fallen tree trunk and cried silently.

There is no land, no land at all. After the Yellow River flooded, it was like a hell on earth.

Sadness is hard to express the mood at this time, what Liu Wei thinks is how to make this place a paradise again, so that those homeless people can have a beautiful home again?

At this time, any sadness is useless. Sadness cannot solve the problem, but it is easy to make people lose their minds because of sadness.

After saving the child sitting on the tree trunk, Liu Wei ordered his men to move on and rush towards Shangzhou City.

But at this time, the sun is scorching, and the water is flooding Shangzhou.
