I really just want to lose my fortune

He hasn't seen either...

correct!

Fan Zhongyan's eyes lit up, and he said to Cheng Yaojin, "I know Yang Jiye, General Yang, and we met once in Chang'an!"

Cheng Yaojin cracked his mouth and laughed.

Damn it, you just picked one whose whereabouts are unknown among these people, right?

Although Fan Zhongyan's speech and behavior are not like ordinary people, Cheng Yaojin can't really regard him as the governor of Xuzhou!

One must know that Qin Ge's enemies were not limited to Tatars.

The most obvious example is that Qin Ge's Li Ru is still undercover at Dong Zhuo's.

If this person is a member of King Yan or Yuan Shao, pretending to be the governor of Xuzhou, and coming here to make trouble or spy on the military situation, what should we do?

"You really know how to pick, General Yang is not on the front line now." Cheng Yaojin touched his chin, his eyes gradually became malicious: "Tell me, what did King Yan ask you to do? You have a meal?"

"General, absolutely not!"

Fan Zhongyan's complexion changed, he is already 50 years old, he is definitely a longevity in this era, his body has been bumpy all the way, how could he possibly withstand Cheng Yaojin's whip?

"As long as you introduce me to the prince, I will definitely have a way to prove my identity." Fan Zhongyan said quickly.

"Huh?" Cheng Yaojin narrowed his eyes.

boom!

His xuanhua ax fell to Fan Zhongyan's side, but Fan Zhongyan was not afraid. The demeanor of not changing color before Mount Tai collapsed was obviously cultivated.

The guards around him were just about to take action, but they saw Cheng Yaojin's soldiers and horses directly aiming at them with bows and arrows.

"We have nothing to do with him!" The faces of the common people changed immediately when they saw this.

"Yes, sir, we are all fleeing."

"Although there is no guide, I can explain the origin clearly!"

"I'm from Lijiatun, Lord, please spare me!"

Seeing this, the common people buckled their heads one by one, for fear that Fan Zhongyan would implicate them.

The gossip Xuanhua ax was still dripping with blood, making Cheng Yaojin even more terrifying.

"Hmph." Cheng Yaojin narrowed his eyes: "If old Cheng brings you to the prince and finds out that you are a killer, then old Cheng's head will have to move."

"Well, then General Cheng doesn't say that the old man is the governor of Xuzhou..." Fan Zhongyan smiled wryly, "As long as I can see the prince."

If he continues to wander, he may really be dying.

He understood Cheng Yaojin's worries, he made it clear that he wanted to take him back to do meritorious service, but he didn't want to take any responsibility.

"General Cheng, just pretend that I didn't say that I'm the governor, just pretend that I'm just an actor who sings lyrics, and bring him back to relieve the prince." Fan Zhongyan said helplessly: "Even if the old man proves his identity, he will definitely not repay his kindness."

"Okay, let's go!" Cheng Yaojin laughed.

If you don't take responsibility, you may still get credit. Cheng Yaojin likes it too much.

…………

Time goes back to the present.

When Qin Ge heard that Cheng Yaojin had brought him a libretto, he couldn't help but be a little bit dumbfounded.

What time is it, and have some fun for me?

The war is still going on ahead, and the actor who is looking for libretto to act at this time seems so stupid to me.

However, looking at the mountain of memorials in front of him, Qin Ge was indeed a little tired.

It just so happens that there is a shortage of literati in Bingzhou, so if this actor can read and write, he can help out.

Cheng Yaojin was looking for lyrics for Qin Ge, neither man nor woman said anything, and Qin Ge's immediate reaction was to let others work, which shows how scarce scholars are at this time.

As long as he could read and write, he could work for Qin Ge.

It's a pity that righteousness is mostly from the generation of slaughtering dogs, and the heart is always a scholar. At this time, except for the officials, the scholars are almost gone. Not all scholars are national scholars like Li Ru who don't take their lives seriously.

Qin Ge was thinking about it. If he had known that some girls had been caught in the Jiaofang Division, those people were proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

"Bring me in and meet you." Qin Ge said casually.

Soon, Cheng Yaojin brought Fan Zhongyan to the entrance of the tent.

If Qin Ge knew that the other party was the governor, he would definitely go up to him to greet him. The governor is equivalent to the chief executive of a state, or the governor of the province. Qin Ge's courtesy must be higher.

This is what Cheng Yaojin was afraid of. If he got close, what would happen if this person came to Qin Ge for a while?

"You can sing lyrics?" Seeing that the other party was gray-haired and wanted to perform, Qin Ge couldn't help but feel unbearable.

"Old man Fan Zhongyan, I have met His Royal Highness King Zhao."

Seeing Qin Ge as a civilized person, Fan Zhongyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh?" Qin Ge was stunned for a moment: "Fan Zhongyan?"

this name...

Qin Ge's understanding of Fan Zhongyan is limited to worrying about the world's worries first, and enjoying the world's joys later.

As for what he does, Qin Ge has no idea at all, but he seems to be a poet.

Cheng Yaojin acted on his own, and casually found me a great poet who can go down in history?

"Inspector of Xuzhou, Fan Zhongyan?"

Fortunately, Qin Ge wasn't the only one in the room, Wei Zheng was the first to realize it.

Qin Ge didn't have any idea about those assassins, and his previous memory didn't leave him with this aspect. He remembered how to play and who he played with.

"The old man has lost his official seal, and now he can't prove that he is the governor of Xuzhou." Fan Zhongyan smiled wryly: "That's when I told the general that I'm a librettoist, and I hope I can recommend it to the prince..."

"My lord, this old man is really the governor of Xuzhou. Can you please send someone to send me back to Chang'an, or ask someone to confirm my identity in Chang'an..."

Sending people to send him back and transfer people from Chang'an is obviously not something Cheng Yaojin can do.

However, to Qin Ge, this prince, this was just a trivial matter.

So Fan Zhongyan insisted that as long as he could see Qin Ge, he could prove his identity. Fan Zhongyan felt that a prince would not care about such a small effort to prove his identity as an assassin.

"Hey, old man, you told me before that you were the libretto, but unexpectedly you were the governor of Xuzhou?" Cheng Yaojin's acting skills were a little exaggerated.

"I'm sorry, general, it's not a last resort, and I don't want to hide it from the general." Fan Zhongyan is also a fastidious person, and he helped Cheng Yaojin pull the trick.

Qin Ge's face was solemn, obviously trying to hide that he hadn't connected Fan Zhongyan with the governor at all.

"Since you are the governor of Xuzhou, why did you lose your official seal and why did you appear here?" Qin Ge asked.

Soon, Fan Zhongyan explained those reasons.

Seeing that Qin Ge was still a little puzzled, Jia Xu came to Qin Ge's side and whispered a few words to Qin Ge, Qin Ge suddenly understood.

The co-author is the father, who is afraid that it will be difficult to use this person in King Qi.

Really, a mature governor of Xuzhou, what a damn good talent this is, why not keep it for use?Could it be that Fan Zhongyan's aristocratic family is not in the same vein as King Qi?

Qin Ge wasn't picky. Seeing that he had just been worried about the political issues here, a governor of Xuzhou had come to his door, so he couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart.

I just don't know if this person is useful or not.

"Whether you are Lord Fan himself or not, I will verify." Qin Ge said that as long as Yang Jiye is alive, Huo Qubing will definitely bring him back. This is his absolute trust in Huo Qubing.

"Before asking for proof, I will test you first." Qin Ge waved his hand and said, "Come here, take Master Fan to freshen up."

…………

Soon, Cheng Yaojin was sent by Qin Ge to patrol again.

Qin Ge discovered that this Cheng Yaojin had the attributes of a treasure hunting mouse. Before that, he caught Gan Ning and Liu Jin's head, and now he happened to meet the governor of Xuzhou.

If this person's luck were given to me, maybe I would be able to make a basket of him...

After freshening up, Fan Zhongyan was a little less embarrassed and more Confucian.

Qin Ge has seen many people with this kind of bearing, and his bearing is no less than that of Cai Yong.

"I've seen the prince." Seeing that Qin Ge had prepared a lot of porridge and side dishes for him, Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but secretly nodded.

This prince still knows about my past, is this a temptation?

If outsiders pretend to be, as long as they don't know me well enough, they may pretend that they can't eat these.

Anyway, he is also the governor of a rich place like Xuzhou, how can he swallow these things?

But, I can eat it.

Fan Zhongyan had a difficult time studying, relying on porridge and pickles to survive, and the pickles were eaten in half.

"Let's call you Master Fan for now, please use it." Qin Ge said.

Qin Ge didn't think about so many detours. Zhang Zhongjing and Li Shizhen made Qin Ge pay attention to this and that all day long. Qin Ge was out of health care considerations, knowing that Fan Zhongyan should not overeat at this time, otherwise he would easily die suddenly.

"Thank you, my lord." Fan Zhongyan ate respectfully.

Soon, the meal was almost finished, Qin Ge took out a few papers and handed them to Fan Zhongyan: "Come on, this is what I'm going to test you for, what do you think?"

Wei Zheng, who was accompanying him, suddenly became nervous.

If the other party is a real governor, then his political ability is not enough.

Fan Zhongyan looked at the document in front of him, and his heart shivered.

These are extremely difficult problems to solve. The prince's exam questions are not ordinary...

"First of all, it is no problem to encourage farming with the method of land reclamation, ten taxes and one or two years of tax exemption, but..." Fan Zhongyan showed a smile: "How to ensure the survival of the people during this period? Or, how to make the people live until Next harvest?"

"We can only rely on the imperial court for relief." Wei Zheng responded.

"If the court still had so much food, the world wouldn't be in such chaos."

Chapter 440 We Have Soldiers

It is not easy to compare the political abilities of Wei Zheng and Fan Zhongyan. In fact, the two lived in different eras in history, with different policies and different situations.

Whether the two can do each other's work well if they switch positions is also a mess.

However, the two can be compared now, this is definitely Fan Zhongyan's strength... No one else, Fan Zhongyan is older than Wei Zheng, plus he is a serious Jinshi who has been an official for many years, and the amount of information in his mind is not Wei Zheng comparable.

If they are all smart people, it depends on who has more information.

To put it bluntly, Wei Zheng is only Yang Guozhong's assistant at this time, and he has just been arrested from the bandit not long ago, how much can he know about the affairs of the court and the affairs of Bingzhou?

On the other hand, Fan Zhongyan is no less upright than Wei Zheng, even Qin Wenkui.

Because he was often demoted and had done many official positions, he had a better understanding of the court situation.

Fan Zhongyan knew that the court could not provide so much food just by watching the court provide disaster relief and rebellion everywhere.

Why is rebellion the easiest and the best way to solve problems when wars are raging?Because it consumes countless people!

If the imperial court had food, it would have solved the disasters in various places long ago, and no one would follow those people who wanted to rebel. The reason why everyone rebelled was that they still couldn’t eat?

Wei Zheng's move seemed to have kept the people and Qin Ge would not be short of soldiers in the future, but it did not solve the fundamental problem: no food.

"Oh? Master Fan has a good plan." Qin Ge tentatively asked.

"Could you let the lower officials take a look at the current grain prices in Bingzhou?" Fan Zhongyan saluted Qin Ge.

Qin Ge was also a happy person, and directly handed a lot of statistics to Fan Zhongyan.

Fan Zhongyan read it seriously, for fear of missing a word.

"The price of food is not enough to make people live."

After a long time, Fan Zhongyan sighed: "There is no chaos in Bingzhou, I'm afraid it's all because of the war."

"Yes." Qin Ge nodded.

"The above-mentioned solutions such as land reclamation and ten taxes are actually no problem. The difficulty is actually in the past few months, or how to survive the past six months." Fan Zhongyan said: "The court can only increase the number of troops. Ten thousand means that the imperial court has no food. However, in fact, the total amount of food in the world is not like this. The food in the world is enough to feed all the people."

"That's not the case, why is it so?" Wei Zheng said.

"Because the food is not in the hands of the imperial court, but in the hands of the aristocratic family." Fan Zhongyan nodded the document in front of him: "If you want to solve this problem and let the lower officials do it, you can drive up the price of food with the merchant family."

"Huh?" Qin Ge's eyes widened suddenly, with a dazed look on his face.
