Wei and Jin cooks

Chapter 991 Gain Reputation

It was difficult for Fu Zhi to come to a conclusion immediately, and he was exhausted mentally and physically as he had to deal with ordinary people, nobles, officials, and the forces left by King Nanyang.

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

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

Even the officials in Chang'an did not expect that the second batch of relief food would arrive so soon, and they immediately went to Fu Zhi to ask for salary and food.

Fu Zhi seemed to know what they were thinking. Soon after they arrived, the people in Chang'an City became restless and boldly surrounded the governor's mansion, begging Fu Zhi for help.

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

"Yes, our family has all starved to death, and now I am the only one left."

The people surrounded the house and refused to leave. Fu Zhi also said to the officials and generals who came to the house: "You have also seen that the people are very excited. If I don't provide relief food, I'm afraid they will cause chaos."

General Liu looked grim and said, "If there are those who cause trouble, just 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 to guard Hangu Pass by then?"

He sighed: "There are not many people left in Chang'an~"

So are they really going to kill the remaining people and force them away because of this little relief food?

Everyone was silent. When Fu Zhi saw their expressions softened, he said, "I have reported to the imperial court and asked for food, grass and salary. With the ability of today's general, I am afraid it will be delivered soon."

Others are not so optimistic. Zhao Hanzhang is willing to provide food relief to the people, but may not be willing to provide food and grass for the Chang'an garrison. The officials are not considered her people because of their salaries.

Thinking of this, someone's heart moved and they raised their heads to look at Fu Zhi.

To sum it up, although Fu Zhi has always been a royalist, he has always been biased towards Zhao Hanzhang in his actions. The Zhao and Fu families are married. I heard that the relationship between Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan has always been very good.

Thinking of this, the people's hearts became hot, and the conversation changed instantly, "The governor is right, there are not many people left in Chang'an, so the main thing is to appease them at this time."

By the time Fu Zhi sent them away, nearly half of the officials and generals in Chang'an City had already favored him. With the addition of the officials and generals who already belonged to him, he was already able to subdue the few with more.

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

There are many contents in the work-for-relief program. For example, he asked for street cleaning, house repair, land leveling, cutting and drying firewood...

There are many things to do. It's getting cold. If we don't take measures to keep warm, I'm afraid the people will freeze to death if they don't starve to death.

The people of Chang'an quickly accepted the work-for-relief, and quickly listed Zhao Hanzhang as their first admirer and favorite.

Many families have begun to prepare longevity tablets for her. Those who are more particular will choose good wood and enshrine her like an ancestor. Those who are not very particular will choose a good wooden board that they can get and ask someone to enshrine her. Engraved with name.

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

In the past two years, the late Emperor and Zhao Hanzhang had successively provided food relief to Chang'an, but not much of it actually fell into the hands of the people. Most of them had to replenish the army's food and grass first.

Only these two times, the relief food sent was completely used on them, and I heard that they would have more relief food in the future. How could this make them not love Zhao Hanzhang?

Seeing this situation, Fu Zhi sighed quietly, feeling complicated but did not come forward to correct the situation.

Unlike Fu Zhi's entanglement and cover-up, Qingzhou and Guangzhou promoted Zhao Hanzhang's benevolence and achievements with great fanfare.

Qingzhou was seriously harmed by Wang Jun, and in Guangzhou, Wang Dun ran away with his army. When the Xiongnu soldiers and Shi Jun captured Guangzhou, it was like they were in an uninhabited country. All the Wubao in the state were captured by Shi Le and Liu Cong. Qian Cai Being looted clean.

This was the case in Wubao, let alone the city, where everyone with some money was robbed.

Therefore, when Zhao Jiajun arrived, everyone from the homeless and beggars to the nobles and nobles welcomed the arrival with both hands.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Kuan did not hesitate and directly spoke for Zhao Hanzhang, committed to building Qingzhou into the second Yuzhou, so as to become one of the strong backings of Zhao Hanzhang and the Zhao family army.

Guangzhou naturally refused to fall behind. While Sun Linghui was rebuilding Guangzhou, he was competing with Qingzhou for publicity, and even spread the news 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 traitors, so he wrote a letter and told Zhao Cheng about it.

When Zhao Cheng saw this, he was very angry and immediately wrote a letter to scold Zhao Kuan. Sun Linghui was not spared by Zhao Cheng.

The children of the Zhao family basically studied under Zhao Cheng, that is, Sun Linghui. When they were young, they followed their elder brother to Zhao's Wubao and attended several classes. Therefore, Zhao Cheng was not only her uncle, but also her husband. Therefore, after receiving this After reading the letter, Sun Linghui and Zhao Kuan felt saliva on their faces, and then blushed with shame.

However, they still don't change.

Of course, this happened later. At this time, they had not received the letter and were still vying 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 filled with a kind of vitality. Although most people were also dressed in ragged clothes, their mental states were very different.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Zhao Kuan had already lost weight, became darker, and his eyes were blue and black, but his face was still excited.

Seeing Fu Tinghan, Zhao Kuan grabbed his sleeve and almost cried, "Third brother-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 mixed up that it makes my eyes dazzled, and I have to check one by one..."

Fu Tinghan apologized: "I'm afraid I can't help you. I'm here for other things."

Zhao Kuan was stunned and asked: "What's the matter? Doesn't the general like me to win people's hearts for her, so he went beyond scolding me in letters and specially sent you to scold me?"

Fu Tinghan choked and planned to give up on all the questions that suddenly popped up, and said to him: "I'm here to show off the salt and reform the salt policy."

Zhao Kuan said: "Hasn't the method not been researched yet? Didn't you write down the method for the craftsmen to figure it out slowly? Why did you come here in person?"

Fu Tinghan didn't say much, just said: "The court is in urgent need of salt now. We have to figure out how to use sea water to precipitate salt before next year. You can pick out a few craftsmen and let them go to the beach with me."

Good night
