Seeing that Liu Chang'an didn't dare to speak, he just lowered his head to listen to the training, but Zhao Junchen was not polite in the slightest, but continued to reprimand with a cold face: "As a local parent official, you don't think about the livelihood of the people, but only know how to listen to the ignorant and superstitious words of the people, and repeatedly delay the right thing, causing the locust plague to become more and more intense, and now it has the tendency to spread to the whole territory of Shanxi, what is the use of local officials like you in my Ming Dynasty?!" ”

"What the adults said is that the lower officials are guilty, and the lower officials are guilty......"

Liu Changan didn't dare to refute, but kept asking for guilt. (To read the latest chapters of this book, please visit the biquge.info of Wèn Aishang Novel Network)

In addition to panicking, Liu Changan couldn't help but wonder in his heart, Zhao Junchen was fine just now, why did he suddenly pay attention to the locust plague? Could it be that the filial piety of the Lu'an Mansion to Zhao Junchen yesterday was not enough? Didn't you just say that you won't pursue it again?

You must know that Zhao Junchen's main purpose in coming to Lu'an Mansion this time is just to embezzle the disaster relief food, inspect the disaster area, understand the disaster situation, and even rescue the victims, it is just a face-saving effort, how strict the disaster is, whether the victims are helpless or not, even he Liu Changan will not care, and Zhao Junchen should not care.

However, it was so inexplicable, Zhao Junchen suddenly began to pay attention to the disaster, and also condemned Liu Changan because of a tacit practice in officialdom.

On the other hand, because of Zhao Junchen's disclosure in advance, Xu Qingyan knew that Zhao Junchen had changed his mind now, and he no longer wanted to be greedy for disaster relief food, but intended to take advantage of this disaster relief opportunity to win a good reputation, but he couldn't understand why Zhao Junchen suddenly turned his face with Liu Changan.

Didn't Zhao Junchen just say before that he should be polite to these court officials?

And the reason why Zhao Junchen suddenly reprimanded Liu Changan also had his own ideas.

Zhao Junchen's original plan was very simple, that is, to take advantage of this disaster relief opportunity, properly arrange the people in the disaster area, do more face-saving efforts, and then hype it up, so as to gradually reverse his bad reputation among the government and the opposition.

Of course, it is also the proper meaning of the question to use some appropriate means to take care of the interests of local officials, so as to make friends with local friends and help them in the future.

But after discovering the ignorant views of the people of this era about the locust plague, Zhao Junchen found that there was a better way to achieve his goal.

That is to learn from Yao Chong, the famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, when everyone is bent on "sacrificing to the gods and praying for blessings", he is the only one who advocates the culling of locusts, and when appropriate, he can also make some remarks such as "culling locusts is a good deed, only for the people to live in peace, if God sends disasters and punishments, it will all be borne by me Zhao Junchen alone, and I will never pass the buck to others".

In this way, when the locust plague was extinguished under the auspices of Zhao Junchen, when the victims were properly resettled by Zhao Junchen, who would dare to say that Zhao Junchen was not a good official who was dedicated to the sake of the people?

The reason why Yao Chong was disgraced by the locust plague was because Shandong was a locust plague-prone place, and Yao Chong's own luck was also very poor, although the locust plague was extinguished under his auspices in the first year, but it recurred in the second year, which was considered by ignorant people to be the revenge and punishment of the locust god for the people to kill the locusts, so that Yao Chong was extremely passive between the government and the opposition.

In fact, if the locust plague had been delayed for a year, Yao Chong would not have had so much trouble.

Lu'an Mansion is different from Shandong, this is not a locust plague-prone place, locust plagues have never happened in history, this year's locust plague in Zhao Junchen's view is just accidental, once it is extinguished under the auspices of Zhao Junchen, it is basically unlikely to recur in the second year, so Zhao Junchen is not afraid of leaving hidden dangers, let alone ending up like Yao Chong back then.

Therefore, personally presiding over the culling of locusts in Lu'an Mansion is something that Zhao Junchen must do for a period of time in the future.

However, as Liu Changan said, the theory of the locust god and the theory of heavenly punishment has been circulating among the people for many years, and both the government and the people have been deeply affected by it.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen must first unify the ideas of the people in the officialdom, when the provincial governor presided over the culling of locusts in Lu'an Mansion, the officials below did not obey the yin, and in the end the locust plague was not extinguished, but got into trouble.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Liu Chang'an, as the head of the officials in Lu'an Mansion, is inevitable that Zhao Junchen will beat him.

However, there are still many places to rely on Liu Changan in the future, so after knocking a stick, it is also necessary to give a sweet date.

Therefore, in Liu Changan's puzzled eyes, Zhao Junchen's expression softened a little, and said slowly: "Lord Liu, your scruples and officials also understand that the people are ignorant and believe in the theory of the locust gods, if you act rashly, it will cause chaos among the people, but Lord Liu, as a court official, can not only focus on the stability of one place, but also focus on the world of the court." Lord Liu, you also know that now that it is an eventful season, the imperial court does not spend money, and the turnover of money and grain is difficult, and His Majesty is worried about it all day long. According to what you said, now the locust plague has begun to spread to Hedong, Taiyuan and other places, once Hedong, Taiyuan and other places will also be flooded with locust plagues like Lu'an Mansion in the future, where will the imperial court still have food relief? Once chaos arises because of this, how can we be worthy of the cultivation of the imperial court and the trust of His Majesty? ”

After listening to Zhao Junchen's words, Liu Changan nodded again and again, with a look of extreme admiration, and said: "What the lord said is that the lower officials are confused, and listening to the words of the lord is better than reading for ten years." The adults are dedicated to the country, and the lower officials admire and admire. ”

Instinctively, although Liu Changan kept nodding yes and continued to pat Zhao Junchen's ass, he was even more puzzled in his heart.

He knows very well what kind of person Zhao Junchen is, when did he become so dedicated to the country?

In Liu Changan's view, once the locust plague spreads to the whole territory of Shanxi, Zhao Junchen should be happy, because if that happens, he will be able to be greedy for two more relief grain payments.

After all, the money for disaster relief is just a muddled account in the local government, it is not like other expenditures, it needs to be recorded in detail, it needs to see results, and it needs to be closely supervised -- as long as the local officials sell it and then report to the imperial court that the disaster relief grain money has been distributed to the victims, the corrupt officials will have a large amount of money in their accounts, and if the imperial court investigates because the disaster victims cannot be controlled, the corrupt officials can be said to be because the disaster relief grain and grass are insufficient and there are too many disaster victims, and they can cope with it if they make a few more fake accounts. At that time, maybe you can add an additional amount of disaster relief food to the imperial court, which will be another income.

Because of this, since ancient times, disaster relief food has been the fat in the eyes of corrupt officials, and it is also the most problematic place.

And now, Zhao Junchen actually wants to control the disaster? Is he going to give up this piece of fat? Liu Changan only felt incredible.

It's just that this topic is too sensitive, but Liu Changan is not easy to ask.

Zhao Junchen is very clear about Liu Chang'an's thoughts, and he is very clear about the memories inherited by Guò.

But Zhao Junchen didn't plan to explain his true thoughts to Liu Changan, he just sighed and continued: "Because of this, as officials of the imperial court, we should put the imperial court first, and we should devote ourselves to solving the worries of Your Majesty, and be more considerate of the difficulties of the imperial court and Your Majesty." If this locust plague can be brought under control and quickly extinguished, so that the imperial court will lose a sum of expenses, and His Majesty will have one less heart disease, please send it to him, and His Majesty will be happy, and he will be ...... at that time."

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "Lord Liu, as court officials, we have to take a long-term view. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Liu Changan thought that he finally understood Zhao Junchen's thoughts.

Zhao Junchen wants to take advantage of the opportunity of this locust plague to make meritorious contributions!!

Liu Changan has long heard that the current emperor is quite fond of Zhao Junchen, as long as Zhao Junchen has merit, he will definitely seize an opportunity to reward and promote, compared with disaster relief food, it is obvious that it is more affordable to be promoted to power.

Get promoted, get rich, get promoted, after being promoted, where is the way to get rich?

Thinking of this, Liu Changan couldn't help but be happy in his heart, after all, if the emperor wants to reward Zhao Junchen in the future, he, a local official who has no merit and hard work after following Zhao Junchen's saddle, will definitely be able to get rid of it!!

After thinking about it, Liu Changan said to Zhao Junchen with a resolute face: "The lower officials understand, solving problems for the imperial court and sharing worries for His Majesty are within the responsibility of local officials such as us, and for the people of the world, as the adults said, the locust plague must be controlled, and the locusts must be organized to kill them. ”

When he said this, Liu Changan had already put the theory of the locust god behind him.

Will you offend the locust god after culling the locust? As a corrupt official, Liu Changan has never done bad things, and he is not even afraid of the liquidation of King Yama after his old death, how can he be afraid of the revenge of a little locust god?
