Infrastructure masters in the red building

Faced with those Tai students who like to put big pots on other people's heads all day long, Jia Fang couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately threw out his "disaster relief strategy" in his mind.

"The disaster relief strategy should be tailored to local conditions."

"If the harvest in the affected area has not yet been wiped out, local farmers should be organized to save themselves by digging deep wells, finding water sources, repairing canals, and replanting late-sown crops such as spring wheat, millet, and millet."

"If the disaster-stricken area has already confirmed that the harvest has been cut off, and the victims need relief, the local granary should open a granary to release grain at a fair price. The states and governments can completely provide labor relief, allowing the victims to exchange labor for food."

"If refugees have already appeared, local officials should try to accommodate, provide relief, and resettle them. At the same time, they should prepare medicine and quicklime to deal with the epidemic."

"Before the locust plague occurs, more chickens and ducks should be raised in various places, and the chickens and ducks should be driven to the fields, so that these poultry can feed on locust eggs and locust larvae, and do everything possible to eliminate hidden dangers."

When Jia Fang said this, he paused, with a look of compassion on his face, and continued: "If there is a plague of locusts, the harvest is inevitable... At this time, the only way to mobilize the people to catch the locusts is to eliminate the plague of insects and keep others. Local crops, secondly, locusts can also satisfy hunger, and they are even quite delicious after frying—”

He just said "fried locusts", and the Tai students on the opposite side all made disgusted looks.

"Eating locusts? How could he come up with such a disgusting idea!"

"Confucius said, if the meat is not cut properly, you will not eat it, but this man even said he wants to eat worms."

"It violates the way of sages!"

"vomit--"

At this time, Jia Min was beside Jia Fang. He lowered his voice and spoke loudly to help Jia Fang: "In the past, Emperor Taizong of Tang also gave birth to chewing locusts, and he was fine. In extraordinary times, one should do extraordinary things. Eating locusts is not a problem. What's wrong?"

As soon as the little girl finished speaking, there was applause from the other side of Jia's elegant seat, and someone said loudly: "When you are in an extraordinary time, you should do extraordinary things. Well said."

Several waiters from the store filed in, and after saying "confession" to everyone, they also removed the partition on the other side of the private seat.A hall is now completely connected.The "audience" in the private seat at the other end also appeared: there were not many people, only two, one of them was Shui Xian, which Jia Fang recognized;

The young man left the banquet and bowed to the members of Jia's family, and announced his family name as "Gusu Linhai".

Hearing this name, Jia Fang paused for a moment and suddenly realized: What?This is my brother-in-law?

But his younger sister and future brother-in-law are completely unaware of the parties involved, and both of them are obviously still immersed in thinking about the "drought resistance strategy" proposed by Jia Fang.Lin Hai even directly asked a question: "My dear friend, I was just thinking that if a disaster hits every place, the oil that can be used to fry locusts may also be in short supply. The states and counties must not be allowed to open warehouses for food relief. Let’s have some oil!”

Jia Fang was confident, "Oil is not available in the granaries of the county governments, but there must be a lot of it in temples and Taoist temples. I think, 'God has the virtue of good life'. The Buddha and the Taoist ancestors saw that it was used for disaster relief, so it must be not. would mind."

When Lin Hai heard this, he also found it funny. He and Jia Fang looked at each other and nodded, as if praising Jia Fang for his good point.

When Lin Hai and Jia Fang were talking, Shui Xian just sat on a distant table drinking tea in silence, like a backdrop.

On the other side, the grand scholars at the other end saw that Jia Fang's idea was supported, and couldn't help it. The leader immediately imitated Jia Fang's tone and said: "You can't fight drought and disaster relief, you can talk about it on paper... No.1. Young man, which point do you say is really feasible?"

"I lived alone in the country for three years. What I said just now, I more or less have some personal experience. Eating locusts and so on, let alone talking about it with empty teeth." Jia Dang defended himself loudly.

"Che - a child of the Duke's Mansion, who said he lived in the countryside, did he also live in his own village?" There were more yin and yang voices from Taixue.

"Yes, I heard that Rongguo Mansion only has two sons from the direct line. The one who speaks is probably the bastard who was raised by Zhuangzi?"

Jia Fang didn't care about the matter of "coming out of a concubine", mainly because he was very strong in his heart, and secondly, he was born with no concept of distinction between noble and humble, so naturally he would not be ashamed of being born a concubine.

But the rest of the Jia family couldn't bear it when they heard it.Jia Min's face flushed red, and she widened her beautiful eyes and stared at the other side.Jia She stood by the table, raised his right leg, stepped on the seat, put his right hand on his hip, and said loudly, "Your grandfather just likes to talk about wars on paper. If you have the ability, do you talk about it? My brothers said After so much, I don’t think you even let out a loud fart, do you?”

As the saying goes, when a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to be able to explain it. The Tai students on the opposite side have nothing to do when they meet a vulgar and rude person like Jia She, and they all turn pale with anger, but they face Jia She. The young master of the country's public family really couldn't say anything.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a loud "bang" on the table, which shocked everyone.It turned out that Jia Zheng, who had been silent and dark all the time, erupted. He slapped the table vigorously, knocking the bowls and chopsticks on the table violently.

I saw Jia Zheng staring at the "friends" on the opposite side, gritted his teeth and said, "Who among you has personally stayed in front of your father's mausoleum for three years, come out and speak."

Putting Jia next to Jia Zheng, he never expected that this second elder brother, who was extremely rigid and pedantic, would say such things for himself at this time.

But it’s no wonder that Jia Zhengdao has learned the most, but he also highly respects filial piety—and the existence of Jia Fang may always remind Jia Zheng of one thing: he is not as filial as his third brother who was born.

Seeing Jia Zheng staring like this, gritting his teeth and saying this, the students of Taixue were all discouraged-it is an ancient system to keep filial piety in a hut, and nowadays "filial sons" are willing to wear linen clothes at home for three years. Very good.

Hearing Jia Zheng's words, someone immediately came out to smooth things over. An imperial student surnamed Hong cupped his hands at the four Jia brothers and sisters, and said, "Master Jia is willing to plan for the world, and everything he says is for the common people." Considering it, even if it is not practical, it is out of a heart of loyalty and patriotism."

The implication is that he still doesn't believe Jia Fang's words.

But Jia Fang said in his heart: What kind of loyalty and patriotism... If he hadn't heard someone put a big hat on his father's head today, he wouldn't be able to talk about it.

But when it was all said and done, he also took advantage of the opportunity to go down the steps, bowed to the imperial students opposite him, and said in a loud voice: "Jia Fang also believes that everyone here is more knowledgeable and thoughtful than Jia Fang. At this time At this moment, I believe that you will certainly be able to avoid evasion and perfunctory, and stop discussing things about the relationship between heaven and man, make more meaningful suggestions, and do more practical things for the people."

After Jia Fang finished speaking, he said to Jia Amnesty, "Brother, let's go!"

Unexpectedly, someone said behind Jia Fang at this time: "Just now the Tai student said that you are talking on paper, and you are not wrong."

The four brothers and sisters of the Jia family turned around in unison and looked at the handsome young man who had been sitting silently in his seat.

Seeing Shui Xian standing up slowly, Jia Fang cupped his hands at him from a distance, but he didn't show that he recognized him, so he didn't say much.

On the contrary, Jia Amnesty was shocked by Shui Xian's whole body demeanor, and he was stunned for a while, then quickly retracted the legs that were resting on the seat, cupped his hands, and said "I would like to hear more about it".

Shui Xian stood up, stared at Jia Fang, and said, "Young master just said that the local granary should be opened to release grain at a fair price. Dare I ask, where does the grain come from?"

Jia Fang vaguely heard some overtones, thought for a moment and replied: "Whoever has food, will give food."

In the year of the catastrophe, how conscientious is it not to ask the grain merchants? As long as they are willing to supply grain to the official warehouse at a fair price, things will not be so bad—is this just talking on paper?

Shui Xian didn't say anything, just nodded slightly at Jia Fang, then turned around and left gracefully.Seeing this, Lin Hai casually bowed his hands to the Jia brothers and sisters, and left behind Shui Xian.

Jia Zheng probably felt that this exchange was very nonsensical, so he scratched his head and asked, "Third brother, what do you mean by this?"

When he turned around, he saw that the group of Tai students who were still impassioned just now had already sat back in silence, and some of them were already packing up their things and preparing to leave.Jia Zheng really didn't understand, so he asked his "friends": "What does this mean?"

Before the second child of the Jia family could wait for the answer from the opposite party, he was pulled over by the elder brother Jia Amnesty.

"Let's go!" Jia Amnesty looked a little dignified, sighed, and looked at Jia Fang, as if Jia Fang had said something that shouldn't be said.

All of a sudden Jia Amnesty's servant Quan Fu went to pay the bill, and the four Jia brothers and sisters returned to their car in silence.Jia Fang was still in the car with Jia Min, the brother and sister looked at each other silently, they both had something to say but couldn't say it, both eyes were full of doubts.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Quanfu, Jia Amnesty's servant, came running and yelled at the car where the Jia brothers and sisters were, "Master, second master, third master, young... Lord, the Duke of the country has got the order, and he will leave Beijing immediately and go to the capital city." Jihebei Road inspects the disaster relief and relief work. The masters hurried to the north gate, maybe there is still time to send them off."

Jia Fang: Oops, I have something more important to ask!
