Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 460 Lu Qian's Benevolence, Lu Qian's Evil

The Liangshan army prepared troops, and the Manichaeism in the south also mobilized troops. With the decline of the Tianhu army that caused troubles in Hebei, the North Road West Army finally had the opportunity to withdraw. The next move of Emperor Zhao in Luoyang City will be It is of great significance to the future situation in the Central Plains.

But before that, Lu Qian had more important things to care about.This matter is so important that it even directly disrupted his premeditated plan.

The north wind howled, the sky was full of no stars, and in the night, the air-conditioning became worse.The second watch was approaching, and Lu Qian's face was already covered with snow spots.The lights in Prince Qi's mansion were brightly lit, beside Lu Qian, there were Yunlong Gongsun Sheng and Chong Hezi Wang Wenqing, serving on the left and right.The three of them quietly watched the snow in front of the court gradually thicken.

Farther away in Cangzhou, many large candles were lit in the lobby of the government office, and in time, Song Sanlang and Chen Guan, the minister of rites, sat across from each other.The servants served wine, meat and dishes in the morning, and the two tributes drank and kept vigil.

After the third watch, the two braved the wind and snow to visit the city gate tower.It is still pitch black here, and the surrounding fields are heavy.In the dark, snowflakes are like sharp arrows, following the strong wind, they rush towards people.I didn't see some villages and fields around me, and I didn't see any moving figures.There is only one fire in the porridge field. "It's bitter, it's bitter." It's been bitterly cold for days, and the Yellow River and the Jiehe River may be frozen. Once refugees from Hebei and Youyun flow in through the Yellow River, it will be very bad for Cangzhou.

This heavy snowstorm lasted for two days. After the snow, the sky was clear and cloudless, and a red sun rose in the east.On top of the snow, the sun shines brightly, the silver light is dazzling, and the cold air freezes in the sky, creating another scene.

But after only one day of clear skies, the sky changed color again. It was cloudy at first, then light rain fell in the afternoon, and then turned into light snow at night. The north wind blew all night, and the weather became cold.

In the morning, Lu Qian got up and looked at the snowflakes flying outside, "Gongsun Sheng, Wang Wenqing..." He said these two names, and the weather forecast was so accurate, why didn't he become a weather satellite? ?
For the first time, he complained to the two of them.

"Your Majesty..." A gentle voice sounded from behind, and a cloak was placed on Lu Qian's shoulders.Fang Jinzhi walked over in small steps. Her name was not wrong at all. From the day she was born, she was really raised by Fang La as a golden branch and jade leaf.Looking up at the white snow outside, my heart is also very complicated.

This Liangshan army is strong, with sufficient food and armor, and has countless capable ministers and famous generals to assist it. No matter how you look at it, it is more likely than her father to sweep the world.But it just happened to catch up with this encounter.

Hebei and Youyan were in great trouble, countless refugees were born in summer and autumn, and in winter, when everything withered, there would be even more refugees.Even in Gyeonggi Road, Central Plains, many people flocked to Jeju and Jinan.

And as the weather gets colder, the number of people is getting bigger and bigger.Especially with the heavy snow recently, it is simply not possible for people to survive.This reminds many people of the past, when the Liangshan army rescued more than 20 refugees with unparalleled benevolence and righteousness. It was blown away by the wind and rain.But now it is a different picture. The Song Dynasty government in Beijing, Hebei, wishes to send all the refugees under its rule to Qilu.The number of refugees will not be just a dozen or [-], the final estimated amount is a huge number.

This means a huge burden for Liang Shanjun. "Your Majesty, it's snowing heavily, and the people are bitterly cold. I and my sisters also feel that the people's lives are difficult, and feel pity for them, so they raised some money, food, cloth, and silk, but I don't know if they should be handed over to the household department?"

Lu Qian's breakfast is very simple, a bowl of rice porridge, two pieces of pot cake, and two pounds of plain meat.Fang Jinzhi was not surprised after seeing this. Among her cousins ​​who were accomplished in martial arts, which one didn't do the whole thing this time?Being poor and rich is not a joke.

"Oh? This is very good." Lu Qian was not surprised. How could he hide the whole Qi Palace's every move? "It's a great kindness for you to have a compassionate heart. You can just transfer to the household department." Several people pooled a thousand or eight hundred yuan of money, drizzle.But it's their intention anyway.

Fang Jinzhi's mind was lost, and he had nothing to say at the moment.

Lu Qian strode to the vestibule after eating.The warmth in the Wenhua Hall is not a brazier, but a special fire wall, and there are also channels on the ground for ventilation.This is not taken from the Jurchen kang method.

Liang Shanjun had a lot of contacts with the Jurchens, and Lu Qian had a close relationship with the Jurchens' society, system, class, customs, etc.He suddenly thought of this heated kang after seeing a description in the Jurchen customs.After all, he was not from the Northeast in his previous life, and he himself had never slept in a big kang.Earlier, I really didn't expect the fire kang, which is a winter artifact in the northern part of China.

The Jurchens originated in the Northeast, where the winter is long, dry and cold, which gave birth to the prototype of the kang.Jurchen's common love is to live in a valley, with wooden fences, the height of the house is several feet, and there are no tiles covered with wooden boards, or covered with birch bark, or covered with grass.The walls and fences are all made of wood, and the doors all face east.The surrounding room is an earthen bed, under which is the blazing fire, and above which is sleeping, eating, and living. It is called a kang to keep it warm.

Lu Qian asked Tao Zongwang to make kangs according to this law, to regulate them, and to use them in the yamen of military camps in various places.At the beginning of the period, no one took it seriously, but when it was cold and freezing, the beauty of it was hard to leave.

But in the palace, the technology of heating with fire has been around for thousands of years.First build a circulating flue with bricks and stones, and then use the hot air generated by the fire to warm the ground. In this way, the hot air rises slowly from the bottom to the top to generate a heat cycle, which increases the indoor temperature to achieve the purpose of keeping out the cold.

This technique is recorded in Li Daoyuan's "Shui Jing Zhu·Bao Qiu Shui": the base is dredged, the branches and meridians are scattered, and the base side is outdoors.

When Lu Qian went in, he saw Zongze, Wen Huanzhang, Xu Guanzhong and others, all of whom were not in a good mood. Seeing Lu Qian, he stood up and saluted, "I have seen you, Your Majesty."

"Is there a summary of refugees from all over the world?" Lu Qian sat down in his seat and asked.

Zong Ze bowed and said: "My Majesty, the summary has been completed, and the huge amount has shocked the ministers. Natural disasters and man-made disasters, the people have no food for overnight, but Zhao and Song robbed food, there is no benevolence and no righteousness, and the people of the world are in mourning." , please be merciful, Your Majesty."

Lu Qian had a bad face. He never thought that Zhao Song's methods would be so despicable. Now he not only opened his mouth to let refugees flood into Qilu, but also actively spread rumors and used force to drive them away.Those refugees didn't have enough food to live on. As soon as they heard that Qilu had opened a granary to release food, and the porridge fields were everywhere, they were all moved.The court of Zhao and Song Dynasties collected food from Latin, and they suppressed it by force. The number of refugees that was driven in made Lu Qian feel a headache just thinking about it.

"Your Majesty, the number of refugees this time is far greater than when they were in the water. Although it is costly to save them, if they can save millions of lives, it will be a great achievement. This good fruit can be seen by all people in the world. Your kindness, Zhao The evil of the Song Dynasty is in full view of everyone, and it is indistinguishable. In the future, the king will sweep the country for thousands of miles, and he will also be a soldier of benevolence and righteousness. road.

Wen Huanzhang got up and said: "When a man rises up, he has no suspicion of relying on prestige. He eliminates violence for the people, and has no intention of previewing the magic weapon. It's just because the Song Dynasty is in decline and luck is exhausted. Sitting on the faint king, and supporting the treacherous ministers , Chaotic law, upside-down discipline, willful and reckless actions, fierce flames grow. As a result, resentment is full, people's hearts are mixed, thieves are wild, bones are like mountains, causing the universe to be reversed, and the world is turned upside down. This is the fate of the king bestowed by God. Monarchs and ministers who have no way, do everything according to the past, judge the present, set things right, wipe out the evil, and establish a system that will lay the foundation for unifying the world, and the name is just and smooth."

Lu Qian laughed when he heard the words, "The people's livelihood is so difficult, how can I sit and watch? Lu Qian is definitely not a heartless person, and millions of people live, how can he ignore it. Fortunately, his people live in the north, and the transportation of grain and grass is convenient. Build porridge sheds as usual , set up straw huts and wooden houses, spread grass and mats on the ground, and housed two or three households in one house, and asked Jeju to raise all the township soldiers to maintain order. Choose a period of young and strong soldiers for the army, and ordered Huainan to stop recruiting soldiers from today..."

This was the best solution Lu Qian could think of.With so many refugees, it is really tricky.

Zongze and Wen Huanzhang went out of the mansion with great enthusiasm.After doing this disaster relief and helping the people, countless people have been saved and meritorious deeds are immeasurable. I am afraid that no one in the world will regard Qi Lu as a bandit again.

Because the eyes of the people are discerning, and everyone can see who is benevolent and who is evil.

"Your Majesty." After two people left, Xu Guanzhong was left in the Wenhua Palace, bowing to Lu Qian. "Sir, did you teach me?" Lu Qian asked.

"The solution to the current situation lies not with me, but with the Song Dynasty. Even if the king exposes his ugly face in the newspapers and denounces his sinister intentions, how much can he hurt the Zhao family? The people of this world have long been in chaos. Yes, it’s nothing more than a loss.” Are they all the people of Hebei Province? The Song Dynasty has long since given up, hasn’t it?
In Xu Guanzhong's eyes, Zhao Song would never gather troops to attack Qilu after temporarily eliminating Tian Hu Wang Qing's disturbance.And since Emperor Zhao didn't immediately come to attack the Liangshan army, would the land of Jingji Road and Hebei still belong to them?
Since it is not the people under the rule, if the people's hearts are no longer there, what is the importance of it?

It would be better to use tricky hands and drag Qi Lu's hind legs severely.Moreover, Zhao Song also has intentions but is powerless.Zhao Ji's New Year's bounty has not yet been paid, how can he still have money and food to help refugees?
"Sir, please speak carefully." Lu Qian's eyes flashed.

Xu Guanzhong hugged his hands and said: "Why don't you choose a group of loyal people, go deep into the capital and Hebei, recruit refugees, gather people to revolt, and defeat the tyrants in the prefectures and counties..."

The common people are waiting to be fed, and they have nothing to eat. Do they still have a lot of worries?As long as someone raises his arms and shouts.

Look at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Jin, Sui and Tang Dynasties, what did the people do when they were desperate?Raising the pole and raising the flag, cutting wood into soldiers is not purely literary rhetoric.

Even so, the cause of the disaster may not be less than that of the Tianhu Rebellion, which caused great losses to the common people.But in Xu Guanzhong's eyes, although Lu Qian really loves the people, he is not the one who doesn't know how to adapt.The Tianhu Rebellion earlier was an example.

This is a calm-minded hero of the world, and now he is just repeating his old tricks.
