This person's name is Zheng Xia.

It turned out that his father was an official in Jiangning, and he went to Jiangning with his father to study, because of the officialdom, Wang Anshi met Zheng Xia and once instructed him in his learning, so he was considered a student of Wang Anshi.

In the fifth year of Xining, Wang Anshi transferred Zheng Xia to the capital as an official, but Zheng Xia repeatedly wrote to Wang Anshi to attack the new law. Maybe Wang Anshi thought that Zheng Xia was a white-eyed wolf, so he demoted Zheng Xia to a small official at the door of the East, and he was also an official, but a trivial official.

At this time, many victims fled to the capital every day to eat.

It's normal.

In ancient times, grain production was low, and they had to flee the famine in the event of a catastrophe. Moreover, it was such a large area and such a long period of extreme drought.

Wang Anshi has done a good job, at least in the non-stop relief efforts.

Think about the drought in Hebei when Zhao Xuan first ascended the throne, because the treasury was empty, Sima Guang directly built a yì to drive these victims back, and the state officials dealt with them themselves, leaving them to fend for themselves.

How big is that, and how long?

Of course, it looks miserable.

However, Zheng Xia's thoughts in his heart, this is what Wang Anshi changed the law to harm, the victims are proof, and the drought is proof, even God is angry.

Well, if Heaven really has the virtue of good life, just a little anger, will it send a catastrophe, then what is the virtue of good life from God?

So he wrote a piece of music, in which he attacked all kinds of changes, and then said, if His Majesty abolishes the new law, the sky will rain, and if it does not rain for ten days, please cut off the head of the minister. Moreover, he also drew a long picture of the situation of the victims, called "Displaced People".

Because there is a fragment of this painting that has been passed down to future generations, Wang Ju has also seen it. Indeed, the homeless people in the painting look miserable, miserable. All of them are skinny. Poorly clothed.

The normal way of the local music must be reviewed by the Jinju Academy, and then handed over to the Chinese book, if it is important, it can be presented to the emperor. So Zheng Xia claimed that this was a secret performance, in order to expedite the stagecoach and send it to the Yintai Division.

Then Zhao Tao saw it, and then Gao Taotao also knew......

But you can't think deeper.

First of all, Zheng Xia, as a small official, can no longer be small, just draw pictures. How to attack Wang Anshi (has nothing to do with the picture, but what is written in his memo). When the prime minister is really a vegetarian, anyone can pinch it?

Even if Zheng Xia is upright and bold, he is Hai Rui of the Song Dynasty, but a new question arises, how did this twist and turn and this painting get to the palace? Don't say anything about the rush and Yintaisi, I'm afraid it's the current Wang Ju, if it weren't for the envoy coming down, he wanted to give the performance to Zhao Ji. There is no way to bypass the East and West Mansions, at least you have to walk from the Yushitai.

And the timing was ingenious. You must know that this drought began in July last year, and after last autumn it was not critical, and there was grain in the state warehouses of various government offices, but in the spring of this year, the state warehouses gradually emptied, and a large number of displaced people appeared.

But it's April now!

Didn't a large number of displaced people flock to the capital that month?

For such a long time, you Zheng Xia didn't make it difficult, just in front of Sima Guang on the book, the ministers discussed, Zhao Ji was a little shaken, the picture came, the book came, this time period is too coincidental, right?

And after the book was published, Zhao Ji immediately saw it, and the two queen mothers also knew, and they deliberately begged to come over to see it, and they cried after reading it...... That's even more so.

But Wang Anshi can't help it.

Just like Yang Hui's mouth, they all suspect that Wang Ju sent the people to engage in ghosts, as well as the Book of the People, and also suspect how much Wang Ju sent people to secretly promote, but what about the evidence.

Without evidence, there is no way to attack Wang Ju.

In fact, the truth is Wang Anshi's sentence, the constant of water and drought, Yao Tang is inevitable, natural disasters and famine escape existed before the new law, and there will also be after the new law is abolished.

The two queen mothers shed tears, and Zhao Ji was finally shaken.

He found Wang Anshi and said that the new law would be used to disrupt some dangerous measures as appropriate.

Wang Anshi was silent, which reminded him of the dismount case of last year's Lantern Festival.

The Lantern Festival saw the lanterns, and the emperor also took his ministers to stand on the tower of Xuande Gate to celebrate the festival with the people. Wang Anshi rode directly into the Xuande Gate, and Zhang Mao, the chief eunuch on duty, ordered Wang Anshi to dismount, and also beat Wang Anshi's servants, and injured Wang Anshi's horse.

Zhang Mao was a great eunuch, but in the Song Dynasty, eunuchs had no right to speak, let alone Wang Anshi was the prime minister of a country. Wang Anshi approached Zhao Ji and demanded that the guards be sent to Kaifeng Mansion for punishment. But Yin Cai of Kaifeng Mansion did not agree, saying that these guards were loyal to their duties and were not guilty. So the ten guards scolded him, and the matter was settled.

That's the official version.

But there are still three sayings circulating among the people.

Wang Anshi was injured from both people and mounts, this is undeniable. When Wang Anshi saw Zhao Ji, he asked the prime minister whether he should dismount at Xuande Gate, he should dismount, he was self-inflicted, he should not get off the horse, these people must be severely punished.

Zhao Ji tried hard to recall, saying that when he was the prince, after the prime minister, he also dismounted after entering the door, so this entry into the Xuande Gate did not despise the imperial power.

Wen Yanbo didn't go down at that time, so he interjected that the old minister had been in the palace for decades, and he had always dismounted outside the door...... It means that you two hairy children know something, that is, you have not dismounted, and you have been making mistakes, including the emperor, you are taking the lead in making mistakes.

Zhao Ji and Wang Anshi were depressed.

But it didn't matter, Wang Anshi looked for a record, and recorded that all the ministers in the Song Renzong period were dismounted in the door. Then Wang Anshi looked for the talented Dasanyuan Feng Jing, Feng Jing said, I forgot, and said, I vaguely remember that I once dismounted outside the door.

Wang Anshi has no words, but he also has eyes and ears, and he heard a piece of news, saying that Wen Qigu was chatting with the guards who did it that day, saying that you injured the prime minister's horse and servants, and the crime is not small. The guard said, don't we know, it's just that the top is pressing, and there is nothing to be done. Wen Qigu immediately reported to Wang Qi. Wang Anshi knew that it was going to be bad, Wang Jue would not harm him, but he would definitely not offend people to save him. So he quickly called Wen Qigu, and after being reminded by the old king, Wen Qigu also woke up, how did he jump into this fire pit, but he didn't dare to deny it, he could only say that I can't remember the guard. Wang Anshi thought about it for a while, why bother with a little sesame official. The matter is closed.

This statement is closer to the truth. The scholar was elegantly behaved. There are a few people who are as rough as Wang Ju.

The other two theories are more bizarre, one is that Zhao Hao, the king of Qi, half-pulled Wang Anshi into it, and as a result, there was a horse-pumping incident. What will be the consequence of this, two prime ministers can be demoted from the court if they quarrel, and one is the prince and the other is the prime minister. Sure enough, Zhao Hao was sent to Kaifeng Mansion for processing, and Wang Anshi had no choice but to ask for resignation.

But Cai did not ask at all, Zhao Ji asked. Cai did say, Your Majesty, the Lantern Festival was originally a festival to enjoy with the people, but also to make the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother happy, friendly brothers, Wang Anshi is the prime minister, should take the lead in responding, now only a few people have been injured, to treat the prince's crimes, how can the Queen Mother be happy?

"Qing Nai dares to speak of An Shiye?" Zhao Ji was pleasantly surprised. Since then, I have trusted Cai Qu.

This is a bit of, last year's first month. Zhao Ji still trusts Wang Anshi very much, how can he not be angry but happy because Cai did say bad things about Wang Anshi?

The last statement is even more fucked-up, saying that Wang Anshi entered the palace, and the guards took the bones and drank to order Wang Anshi to dismount. What is a bone duo, it is a small hammer with a long handle, and Han Derang used this thing to smash the head of a royal family of Liao State on the Golden Palace. Wang Anshi didn't listen and continued to walk inside.

At this time, Zhang Mao came out and ordered the guards to hit Wang Anshi's servants with bones. The guards fought, shifted the target, and began to hit Wang Anshi's horse, and said, why not!

Zhang Mao did not stop it, but said, what's wrong with Xianggong, isn't he a courtier? Contempt for the emperor like this, do you want to be Wang Mang. Wang Anshi endured his anger and went to see Zhao Ji, but Zhao Ji said, "It's injured, okay, send someone to check the injury."

Can Zhao Ji say such brainless words?

Therefore, after Wang Ju heard these rumors, he analyzed it, and it was about Zhang Mao who heard the two queen mothers often recite bad words about Wang Anshi, and it happened that day that he was on duty at Xuande Gate, Wang Anshi rode in, and Mao seized the opportunity to humiliate Wang Anshi. Wen Yanbo naturally understood, and prevaricated on the spot. After the investigation, the two queen mothers spoke, and the matter was closed.

Don't ask a eunuch if he has the guts, it's this eunuch, when Song Renzong suddenly went crazy, he drank heavily, and the queen (Empress Dowager Cao) and Zhang Mao rebelled. This is crazy, but it shows the relationship between Zhang Mao and Mrs. Cao.

Humiliated by this, Wang Anshi did not say that he would resign, why, it was not to continue the new deal.

So at this time, Wang Anshi finally submitted his resignation.

But the first time he resigned, Wang Anshi was very irresolute.

He still hopes that Zhao Ji will change his mind.

However, he was disappointed, and then Zhao Ji issued an edict, ordering the opening of the seal body to exempt the money, the three Sicha Shiyi, Si Nongfa often close the position, the three Ya Guxi, the soldiers used by the river, the people on the road dispersed, Qingmiao, exempt from service, the right to chase the call, Fangtian, Baojia and stop, where there are eight out of ten, the people cheered and congratulated.

Three days later, it rained.

In ancient times, this three was not necessarily three, and God knows how many days it took to rain.

Then it was falsely rumored, and when it came to the Qing Dynasty's "Continuation of Capital and Governance Tongjian", it became the day and the fruit rain. The edict was issued in front, and it rained heavily in the sky behind...... Thunder!

But it is not necessarily that Lu Huiqing and others are stupid, and none of them are trouble-free.

A few days later, they learned the truth of the matter, so they admonished.

Doesn't you think there are too many doubts?

Zhao Ji realized that in addition to the temporary suspension of Fang Tian's tax law, the rest of the laws have been restored.

As for Zheng Xia...... The fool can only be harnessed by Homo sapiens!

If Wang Ju didn't have these golden fingers, most of them would also be controlled by these demons.

However, at this time, Wang Anshi was already disheartened, and asked for his resignation in four books. Zhao Ji had no choice but to say, then he would stay in the capital with the official of the Taishi or Taifu.

Wang Anshi disagreed.

Zhao Ji had no choice but to let Wang Anshi regain knowledge of Jiangning Mansion.

But to Sima Guang's disappointment, Wang Anshi went down, but Han Jiang and Lu Huiqing came up. Lu Huiqing, that won't be as elegant as Wang Anshi......

…………

"It's almost there," Tao Qing said, holding up the binoculars.

The grain sent by Wang Ju was divided into two batches, one of which was Runzhou. In fact, to Hangzhou, it is conducive to the berthing of ships and loading and unloading, but then the speed is slow. Now the boats are directly sailed from the Yangtze River into Runzhou with the high tide, and the imperial court is also convenient to mobilize large and small river boats from all over the Yangtze River at once. It is then loaded and unloaded onto various river boats, and transported to various parts of the north by means of Bianshui.

In fact, this is the narrowing of the Yangtze River, otherwise, like the Tang Dynasty, Wang Judu wanted to sail the ships into Yangzhou (the Tang Dynasty Yangtze River estuary was wider, so the late Tang Dynasty. Many sea vessels are sailing directly into Yangzhou. But not in the Song Dynasty).

However, there is one that is not very convenient in Runzhou. If it is not to buy goods, the ship has to unload the grain, and the goods have to be taken away, and the ship cannot be emptied, which will undoubtedly increase the cost.

This is not a big problem, because this group of ships will purchase some goods and go to the Wa Kingdom or Goryeo to exchange grain and come back. Although it is not in accordance with the rules (meaning that it must be bought and sold at the market), it is still a righteous act. The government will not be embarrassed and will give green lights everywhere.

But the biggest inconvenience is that Runzhou can't berth so many ships.

Especially at this time, the port requirements are very picky, after all, ships can only sail back and forth once a year, and most of the time they are berthed in the port, so the port must be able to accommodate many ships to berth. Runzhou obviously does not have this condition, so it must be unloaded after the goods are immediately procured and left quickly. Let the boat behind dock.

Therefore, the number of ships in Runzhou is not large, and they arrive in batches.

The main large force was in Michigan.

The Zhizhou of Mizhou is Su Dongpo. This spring just arrived.

But overall, the disaster in Michigan was not serious this year. Otherwise, Dasu would not have written the heroic poem "Jiangchengzi. Hunting in Michigan.

However, the grain from Mizhou was transferred to various places, and the loss was not mentioned, and the officials reached out a little more, and only half of the grain may have reached the hands of the victims.

Before Wang Anshi went down at that time, everyone discussed and decided to let the victims go to Mizhou to eat.

This time, Da Su was sad.

When so many disaster victims came, they had to send people to maintain law and order, as well as build disaster shelters and porridge sheds.

And it is necessary to disrupt the victims, otherwise once hundreds of thousands of victims come, the weather is getting hotter, and if there is an infectious disease of malaria, it happens to change the law and hate it to the bone, so wait for bad luck.

Therefore, after Wang Ju received the news, he wrote a letter to Da Su, meaning that he was tired of you.

I don't know if Da Su will give him face, although he secretly repaid all his debts for Da Su, and he has always had a good relationship with Xiao Su, and they exchange letters with each other from time to time. But at this time, the anger was raging, and everyone was not talking about the Chinese classical style of gratitude and gratitude, but the Cultural Revolution-style "righteous annihilation of relatives".

It has nothing to do with this batch of grain, because there is one more thing to be done next.

The fleet slowly sailed to the port of Mizhou, which was not Qingdao in later generations, but Tangjia Bay in Banqiao Town (Jiaoxian) at the mouth of the Yunhe River, because there was a gap between Jiaozhou Bay, and the wind and waves were usually small, and the water surface was wide enough to berth many ships. And the water is deep, so you can let the larger ships in, on the other hand, a few Yellow River estuaries are not good, even if you go out of the sea, because of the siltation, the slightly larger ships will run aground because of the draft.

Behind it are the prefectures and counties of Shandong, and further on, you can use the Jishui Wuzhang River, or the tributaries of the Yellow River to communicate with the capital or the state capitals of Hebei Road.

Therefore, after Zhao accepted Wang Juti, the port quickly prospered. Not only with the Goryeo Wa Kingdom, but also some southern ships sailed directly here, communicating with each other, and even some Guangzhou ships also sailed here, bringing goods from Lingnan, and then bringing goods from Hebei and Shandong to Lingnan, specifically in the country.

"It seems that the government is prepared." Tao Qing said again.

Seeing them coming, the ships that had been moored were brought to the other side, and the remaining half was empty, reserved for them to moor, and there was a team of officials to maintain order.

Tao Qing continued to look with a telescope, and he saw many victims.

I couldn't stand the hunger, and when I heard that there was food in Mizhou Port, the imperial court asked them to go and eat, and all of a sudden, countless hungry victims flocked to Banqiao Town, not organized by the government.

This has nothing to do with Tao Qing and Zhang Quanzhi, they are only responsible for unloading the grain, and how to provide disaster relief will be handed over to Michigan officials to deal with.

Getting closer and closer, a little windy.

The sailors on each ship constantly changed the side sails in order to correct the direction of the wind.

But the mainsails were lowered one after another, and the speed of the ships became slower and slower, and near the harbor, the ships began to moorth. Ship mooring, especially sea vessels mooring in various seaports, is definitely a technology, and it took a long time to moor it one after another. However, more than 100 large sea vessels are moored together one after another, and the sails are lined up, which looks extremely spectacular.

Tao Qing and Zhang Quanzhi also stood up and prepared to get off the ship and hand over to the government. Suddenly, a large group of victims ran towards them. A large piece of black pressure was pressed, and there was a fierce and excited look on his face...... (To be continued......)
