Wei and Jin Cooks

  Chapter 991 Raising reputation

   It is difficult for Fu Zhi to make a conclusion immediately, and he has to deal with ordinary people, gentry, officials, and the forces left by the King of Nanyang, and he is exhausted.

  The situation in Chang'an is complicated, and here is the Xiguan of the Great Jin Dynasty. It cannot be ignored. Now he is short of money, food, and people. All he can do is to balance the forces of all parties on the basis of existing resources.

   It wasn't until Zhao Hanzhang quickly sent the second batch of relief food that the situation began to change.

  Even the officials in Chang'an didn't expect the second batch of relief food to arrive so soon, and immediately went to Fu Zhi to ask for salary and food.

  Fu Zhi seemed to know what they were thinking. Not long after they arrived, the people in Chang'an City also became agitated, boldly surrounded the governor's mansion, and begged Fu Zhi for help.

The people sent by Fu Zhi said from time to time in the crowd, "This is the relief food allocated by the general, and it is only for the relief of people who are suffering from food shortage. The governor can't use it for other purposes just because the army is short of food. "

   "Yeah, our family is starving to death, and now I'm the only one left."

  The people surrounded the mansion and refused to go. Fu Zhi also said to the officials and generals who came to the door: "You have also seen that the crowd is excited. If I don't give relief food, I'm afraid they will make trouble."

  General Liu said with an ugly face: "If there are people who make trouble, we must put them down."

  Fu Zhi then asked: "How many soldiers and horses can the general bring out to quell the chaos? How many soldiers will be left guarding Hangu Pass by then?"

  He sighed: "People in Chang'an, there are not many more~"

  So they really want to kill the rest of the people because of this relief food, and force them to leave?

  Everyone stopped talking, Fu Zhi saw that their faces were calm, and said: "I have reported to the imperial court to ask for food, grass and salary, and with the ability of today's general, I am afraid it will be delivered in a few days."

  Others are not so optimistic. Zhao Hanzhang is willing to give relief to the common people, but not necessarily willing to give food and grass to the Chang'an defenders. The salaries of the officials are not hers.

  Thinking of this, someone moved in his heart and looked up at Fu Zhi.

   Calculated, although Fu Zhi has always been a royalist, he has always acted in favor of Zhao Hanzhang, and Zhao and Fu's two families are married. I heard that the relationship between Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan has always been very good.

  Thinking of the people here, the hearts of the people became hot, and the conversation changed instantly, "The governor is right, there are not many people left in Chang'an, so we should focus on appeasement at this time."

  By the time Fu Zhi sent them away, nearly half of the officials and generals in Chang'an had already favored him.

  As soon as they left, Fu Zhidang was about to issue the work-for-relief order that had already been drawn up. Most of the people could not read, so in addition to posting announcements, he mainly sent officials to the governor's gate to preach and solve doubts.

  There are many contents of work-for-relief, for example, he asked to clean the streets, repair houses, level the land, cut and dry firewood...

  There are a lot of things to do, the weather is getting cold, if we don't take measures to keep warm, I'm afraid the people will freeze to death instead of starving to death.

  The people in Chang'an quickly accepted the work-for-relief, and quickly listed Zhao Hanzhang as the first person they admired and liked.

Many people have started to prepare longevity tablets for her. Those who are more particular will choose a good piece of wood and offer her up like an offering to their ancestors. name engraved.

  The vagrant who was wandering in Chang'an City picked up a board from the ruins, graffitied a woman's face according to his imagination, and offered it up. Everyone rushed to worship Zhao Hanzhang's longevity tablet.

  In the past two years, the first emperor and Zhao Hanzhang successively gave relief food to Chang'an, but not many actually fell into the hands of the people, and most of them had to replenish the food and grass in the army first.

  Only these two times, the relief food sent was completely used on them, and I heard that there will be relief food in the future, how can this make them not love Zhao Hanzhang?

  Fu Zhi sighed faintly when he saw this situation, full of complicated feelings, but he didn't come forward to correct it.

  Different from Fu Zhi's entanglement and concealment, Qingzhou and Gwangju are promoting Zhao Hanzhang's benevolence and achievements with great fanfare.

Qingzhou was severely damaged by Wang Jun, while in Guangzhou, Wang Dun ran away with a large army. When the Xiongnu soldiers and Shi Jun captured Guangzhou, it was like entering a land without people. All the Wubao in the state were captured by Shi Le and Liu Cong. Was searched clean.

  This is the case in Wubao, let alone in the city, where anyone with any money has been robbed.

  So the arrival of the Zhao family army, from the refugees and beggars to the nobles and eunuchs, all welcomed them with their hands up.

  Seeing this, Zhao Kuan didn't hesitate, and directly spoke for Zhao Hanzhang, devoting himself to building Qingzhou into the second Yuzhou, so as to become one of the powerful backings of Zhao Hanzhang and the Zhao family army.

  Gwangju naturally refused to lag behind. While rebuilding Gwangju, Sun Linghui competed with Qingzhou for publicity, and even spread it back to Chen County.

  What they preached and what they did made Zhao Hanzhang tremble. Zhao Ming also felt that they were too flattering and had the potential to be treacherous ministers, so he wrote to tell Zhao Cheng about it.

   Zhao Cheng saw it and was very angry. He immediately wrote a letter to scold Zhao Kuan, and Sun Linghui was not let off by Zhao Cheng.

The children of the Zhao family basically learn from Zhao Cheng, that is, Sun Linghui. When they were young, they went to Wubao of the Zhao family with their elder brothers, and they would also attend a few classes. Therefore, Zhao Cheng is not only her uncle, but also her husband. Therefore, after receiving this After writing the letter, Sun Linghui, like Zhao Kuan, felt spit on his face, and then blushed with shame.

   However, they still do not change.

  Of course, this will happen later. At this time, they have not received the letter yet, and they are still competing to flatter Zhao Hanzhang and win the hearts of the people for her.

  When Fu Tinghan entered Qingzhou, he felt that Qingzhou was very lively, and the streets and alleys were full of vitality. Although most of the people were dressed in coarse linen and ragged clothes, their mental state was very different.

   It's only been a few days since I saw him. Zhao Kuan has lost a lot of weight and turned dark again. His eyes are black and blue, but his face is still excited.

Seeing Fu Tinghan, Zhao Kuan grabbed his sleeve and almost cried, "Sister-in-law, you are finally here. You don't know. I have been looking forward to your coming day and night. The officials below are incompetent. The data reported It's so confusing, I can't see it all, and I have to check one by one..."

  Fu Tinghan apologized, "I'm afraid I can't help you. I'm here for something else."

  Zhao Kuan was slightly stunned, and asked, "What's the matter? Could it be that the general doesn't like me buying people's hearts for her, so he's not limited to scolding me in letters, but specially sent you to scold me?"

  Fu Tinghan choked, intending to give up all kinds of problems that popped up in an instant, and said to him: "I'm here to spread salt and change the salt policy."

  Zhao Kuan said: "Isn't the method not yet researched? Didn't you write the method for the craftsmen to ponder over slowly? Why did you come here in person?"

  Fu Tinghan didn't say much, but said: "The imperial court is in urgent need of salt now. We have to figure out how to produce salt from sea water before next year. Pick out a few craftsmen and let them go to the beach with me."

Good night
