Wen Yanbo and Han Jiang were talking, and Feng Jing, who was sitting next to him, was carefully observing the situation behind the curtains in the hall with the corner of his eye.

Because he found that Empress Dowager Xiang seemed to have said something to the Empress Dowager.

Then, they saw the Queen Mother getting up and going to bed.

So Feng Jing quickly pulled Wen Yanbo's sleeve.

The latter immediately understood and shut his mouth.

The other elders and prime ministers also put down the memorials in their hands thoughtfully.

Sure enough, a moment later, the sound of a big Diao Ding Shi Deyi was heard: "The official ascended to the palace, and the ministers respectfully welcomed him."

Feng Jing quickly stood up and took the Chao Hut in his hand. The other elders and ministers also stood up.

Then he saw a small official wearing a plain white crimson gauze robe and a folded turban, surrounded by the Empress Dowager and the ministers with royal equipment, entering the curtain from the corridor on one side.

Feng Jing hurriedly came forward with fluorine and followed the crowd in bowing four times: "I respectfully welcome the official to the palace."

After the young official sat down, he said: "Without courtesy, please sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The ministers bowed again, and Feng Jing slowly returned to his seat and sat down.

He looked around the palace.

Among the prime ministers, Han Jiang, the left prime minister, and Lv Gongzu, the right prime minister, will all retire within the next two years.

Among the remaining governors, there is almost no one who can safely take over the position of prime minister.

Therefore, in the future, the prime minister will still be chosen from among the important ministers outside.

Cai Que and Zhang Dun were the most vocal.

Pu Zongmeng, Lu Huiqing, Wang Cun, and Han Zhongyan were also ready to make a move.

And the senior ministers...

Feng Jing thought of Han Wei in Daming Mansion. Like him, he also dreamed of returning to the court.

But Nai brother Han Jiang can't come back until he retreats.

Wang Anli of Jiangning heard that he was also preparing to become an official and wanted to return to the court as a senator and serve as an adviser to the emperor.

In Zhiping and Xining ministers, those 'young people' who are expected to be in power are also ready to take action.

Kumamoto on Jingdong Road, Cai Jing on Kaifeng Prefecture, and Zeng Bu on Yangzhou are just like chicken feathers.

Such a complicated situation, not to mention the young emperor, even the adult monarch may not be able to control it.

However, this petty official managed to control it. Not only did he control it, he also made the capital not as messy as it was during the Yuanfeng era.

The new party and the old party still criticize each other.

Even the crows on the censor's stage, Feng Jingdu felt, were gentler and more pleasing to the eye than before.

Although the crows are still noisy, few people will casually slap others.

Frequent criticism of traitors and evil practices is now rare.

With these thoughts in his mind, Feng Jing just listened to the little official in the curtain: "I lost my composure for a moment today and made the merciful saints of the two palaces and all the ministers worried. I am really ashamed."

Is this going to be a review?

Feng Jing's eyelids twitched and something came to his mind.

Confucius said: I will examine myself three times a day!

The standard Confucian sage-king style has also been the requirement of scholar-bureaucrats for the emperor since ancient times.

Feng Jing hurriedly stood up with Wen Yanbo and bowed with his hands in hand: "Your Majesty cares about all people and is benevolent and virtuous. The ministers are frightened and frightened. I only beg Your Majesty to take care of your body and keep the holy body for the country."

This is the standard answer.

Something that everyone is familiar with.

However, it used to be a false story, but now even Feng Jing himself can't help but bring some sincerity.

Such a good emperor is so rare.

After taking a deep breath, Feng Jing followed the ministers and sat back.

During this process, Wen Yanbo seemed to look back at him.

I don’t know what it means?

Feng Jingzheng was trying to figure out what Wen Yanbo meant, and then he listened to the little official in the curtain saying: "Now that the Duke has entered the palace, let's discuss how to deal with the aftermath on Huainan Road!"

"Prime Minister of the Left!" He directly named him: "You are the Prime Minister of the Left, my arm. Come and discuss the opinions of the capital."

Then he saw Han Jiang getting up and bowing with fluorine in his hand: "In my humble opinion, I should follow the stories and the old rules, and order a responsible person to be good at governing..."

"Baoning Army's Jiedushi envoys judged the capital of Henan Prefecture, and they just made some suggestions, but they were empty. Han Wenzhonggong was once ordered to comfort the victims of Jingdong during the Qing Dynasty. He wrote a book "Qingzhou Relief Policy", which contains consistent articles.

They are all here..."

Feng Jing was called by Han Jiang and felt his scalp numb.

"Han Zihua! You old man!" He cursed in his heart.

However, Feng Jing also knows that this is officialdom, the capital!

Back then, in order to get promoted, he even accused Taishan Fu Bi of being treacherous in public.

Now, it is reasonable for Han Jiang to use him as a raft and borrow his head.

With no other choice, Feng Jing had no choice but to stand up and bow to your majesty: "I would like to inform your majesty that the "Qingzhou Relief Policy" left by Lord Taishan consists of three volumes. The original manuscript is in the hands of his son Shaoting. I dare to beg your majesty.

I issued an edict to obtain this book for the imperial court’s reference.”

There was nothing he could do.

The most taboo thing in official circles is to vacillate between Chao Qin and Mu Chu.

Especially for a minister with a bad reputation like him, once he is found guilty of a shaky crime, he will be labeled as a treacherous minister.

Therefore, many years of experience in officialdom have taught him that even if he does something wrong, it is better than regretting it.

I heard the little official in the curtain ponder for a moment and then said: "What Mr. Feng said is very much in line with my wishes."

"That is... when Duke Fuwen and Zhong were in Qingzhou, he was fighting floods, but now Huainan is suffering from drought."

Feng Jing could only bite the bullet and continue: "I foolishly believe that although disasters are different, the methods of dealing with the aftermath are always the same."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Right Prime Minister Lu Gongzhu stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to inform you that the two palaces are kind and sage, and Fuwen Zhonggong appeases Qingzhou. Although he is a model for the country, it has been decades ago...

…And the situation in Huainan is different from that in Qingzhou, so it may not be generalized.”

It seems that Lu Gongzhu is very objective.

But in fact, I still use him as a raft.

However, he had no way to reply, so he could only say: "Even if decades have passed, even though the situation in Huainan is different from that of Jingdong, disaster relief and aftermath are always the same."

"For example, after a disaster, the victims are displaced and have no clothes. Since our ancestors, they have all been tattooed."

"It's also like the people who have no food and open warehouses to survive..."

When he finished speaking, Feng Jing found that the Prime Minister in the palace looked at him a little strangely.

What did I say wrong?

Feng Jing soon knew the answer.

"There's no need to recruit young people with tattoos." After pondering for a moment, the little official in the curtain suddenly said: "As early as the beginning of April, I ordered Song Yongchen to go south, with Cai Bian as the capital of Dajiang-Huai Sixth Road and Deputy Shipping Envoy. The imperial edict ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Fengzhuang Treasury to allocate one million yuan each as a base. Cai Bian and Song Yongchen were ordered to recruit young and strong victims of the Huainan disaster to work on river control and canal construction, and to pay their wages at Bianjing wages. , give half money and half rice."

This is why the people on Huainan Road have maintained stability despite a severe drought.

A large number of young and strong people were recruited to the construction site of river construction and canal management.

Not only that, Song Yongchen also organized them to build roads, bridges, inns, and repair government offices and warehouses in Huainan.

Even locally, a large number of human transportation tools such as wheelbarrows were manufactured using local materials.

Young people have jobs and can receive wages and life-saving food.

There won't be any trouble!

Feng Jing was shocked when he heard this.

Because in the past, even when the Song Dynasty court recruited young men, they always gave money.

However, the wages paid vary from place to place.

For example, in Bianjing, if you recruit a young man to build a river, the starting salary is two hundred a day. Normally, for heavy manual labor, you have to pay more than two hundred and thirty to recruit someone.

But in Henan Prefecture, the salary of a young man has plummeted to one hundred yuan a day.

In the Yongxing Army, you can hire a young man for seventy or eighty yuan.

Feng Jing remembered that when he was in the Yongxing Army, he hired young men to build a walled city along the border.

A heavy reward of one hundred cash per day was offered, but very few people responded. In the end, they could only add two liters of rice per day and barely hired people.

But these are normal wages in peacetime.
