"I'm not a panacea, how can I have such an effect?" Shen Yu found a comfortable seat in Shang Junlin's arms.

"Ayu Yuzhen is more effective than any panacea." Shang Junlin buried his head on Shen Yu's neck, his voice a little dull.

"Then give His Majesty more hugs," Shen Yu touched the man's head with his backhand, "so that His Majesty can handle government affairs more energetically."

Shang Junlin hugged the person in his arms tightly.

"Are all the officials over at Subei sent by His Majesty later?" Shen Yu glanced at the book that was spread out on the table.

It was sent by Master Fang from Subei, and there were other officials nearby.

Mr. Fang took the officials who had passed from the capital. Every time they went to a new place, they would be speechless by the tragic situation there. They thought that the situation in the first small town they passed through was already very bad. The more I discovered that it was just the tip of the iceberg, the more shocking what I saw.

Every time they go to a place, they will gather the people together after cooking porridge and do something within their ability. When their strength recovers, they will exchange more food for their labor, and they will also help and relieve local operations. inconvenient person.

In the excerpts written by Mr. Fang, he detailed the status quo of every place they passed by. Just the text description can make people feel the despair.

"Some of them were directly promoted locally," Shang Junlin rubbed his gloomy fingers, "I almost replaced the upper-level officials in Subei, and there were not many people who could be used by the court, only some people were sent there, more , was promoted locally.”

Back then, when Subei fell, if it wasn't for Shang Junlin leading his troops to arrive in time to turn the tide and repel the Beimo Army, it is hard to say whether the current Dahuan is still Dahuan.

The local officials were to blame for the loss of their country. Shang Junlin didn't want to listen to their excuses, so he directly cut down the people to comfort the heroes and soldiers who died because of their negligence. It was also to avenge the innocent people who died in vain. On the day of the execution, the whole city Onlookers, all applauded.

In the smell of blood in the sky, Shang Junlin let all Subei officials watch the execution with their own eyes. Some officials have been pampered for many years. Where have they seen such a scene, their faces are pale, and they dare not watch more.

But each of them is guarded by two burly soldiers, as long as they dodge, they will be stopped.

Shang Junlin is also using this opportunity to warn the people who have been newly promoted by him. If he can't keep the Subei well, he will go down and be with these people.

It also took this opportunity to completely separate Subei's military power from the regime. Under the bloody means, no one dared to refute. Since then, Subei has been stable for a long time.

Shang Junlin and Shen Yu talked about this past: "I thought they would learn to be good, yes, they did learn to be good, they didn't dare to do anything blatantly, they only made small moves in private, and tried every means to keep the news from reaching the capital. ."

Shen Yu: "People's greed is always endless. When you get a little bit, you will want more. Over time, the greed is fed more and more, and you will never be satisfied. It has been seven or eight years since the past. , time will kill a lot of things, and it can change a lot of things. The officials promoted by His Majesty may be trustworthy, but after so many years, no one can guarantee that they will not change at all."

Shang Junlin: "People's hearts are changeable, I know very well."

Shen Yu: "After finding out the truth, the disposal should be dealt with, and those who have merit will be rewarded according to their merits. After so many years, His Majesty is no longer the His Majesty of the past, so there is no need to be constrained by the lack of manpower. In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, Your Majesty The appointment time can be stipulated, and the officials sent to Subei will return to the capital after a certain number of years."

Subei officials are divided into three categories: Subei Army, Beijing City transfer, and local officials. It should have been a three-legged situation, but according to the news returned by Yinlongwei, the latter two have been mixed together, and they have also been placed in the Subei Army. They let people in, and there was a faint shadow of another force among the three.

"If the term of office is stipulated, officials sent from the capital will be less likely to side with local officials. Compared with Subei, they should want to return to the capital, the center of power, then they will be for their own sake. The resume is better and I spontaneously look at Subei for the imperial court."

Shen Yu lowered his eyes and continued, "As soon as their term ends, they will return to the capital. What happens in Subei will only become a step for them to advance."

As long as their interests are not tied to Subei officials, there is no need to worry too much that they will come together, which will be detrimental to the court.

After thinking about it seriously, Shang Junlin found that this is indeed a good method.

In fact, the mobility of Dahuan officials is not large, unless the ability is particularly outstanding or there are people in the court, after more people are sent to a certain place, it is very likely that they will stay there forever.

If it is not a special place like Subei, there are many advantages. The more familiar the officials are with a certain place, the better they can manage it.

But the most important thing right now is the disaster in Subei. If the drought does not ease for a day, they will not be able to relax.

Master Fang and Yinlongwei's people were in the light and the other in the dark, and they figured out the situation in Subei one by one.

Mr. Fang continued to walk north with the officials. The further north, the more serious the disaster, and the more silent these officials from the capital became.

Have they ever seen such a purgatory-like scene? In the past, at most, they learned about major disasters through various documents. How could the words be as shocking as what they saw with their own eyes?

The more they saw, the greater their opinions on the inaction of the Subei officials, especially when they learned more than once from the local population that if the disaster relief workers had come earlier, maybe so many people would not have died. reached its peak.

"There are so many people, obviously they don't need to die, as long as they are willing to share the subei army's salaries..." The voice of the young official who spoke choked.

No one made a sound, and no one could make a sound when they saw this scene.

In the poor and dilapidated house, the skinny mother did not have a piece of good flesh on her body. Her child was curled up in her arms, and there was still a piece of wet flesh in her mouth. A mother stares at her child with eyes wide open until she dies...

"If only we could come back earlier, and earlier, maybe we can save the mother and son."

The room was filled with a strong smell of blood, and no one disliked the pungent smell, they only felt a tingling in their hearts.

Along the way, they have seen all kinds of tragic scenes. They thought that they would be numb when they saw them more. It was only at this moment that they realized that no matter how many times they saw the scene in front of them, they could not be numb.

"Master Fang, can we really save Subei?" After a long time, a young official couldn't help asking, his face was blank.

"Naturally, it can be saved," Master Fang replied loudly. "We have saved many people along the way, and the court has also raised enough supplies. If you hold on for a few more days, they will be here soon."

Mr. Fang looked at everyone's faces one by one. He knew that what he had seen and heard these days had a great impact on these not-so-old officials, and he also knew why they were confused, because he also had such a situation in the past. when.

"Everyone cheer up, His Majesty has sent news that this time together, there are also people from all over the world who are willing to help, and the disaster funds also come from the donations of many people in Dahuan. Subei will not be affected by any one of Dahuan. give up!"

Subei main city.

In the splendid hall, young women in thin dance clothes danced to the music, and men in luxurious clothes toasted.

"That Fang Jun, shall we let him go on like this?"

"Don't ruin your master's plan. He wants to see the real appearance of Subei's disaster, so let him see. He volunteered to be in the company of the refugees. It has nothing to do with us when he is accidentally injured by the refugees. Lord Xun, you said. is not it?"

Xun Chao calmly glanced around and drank the wine in the glass: "Of course, it's not that we didn't persuade him, but he insisted on going his own way. If something really happened, how can we blame us?"

"That's it, come on, keep drinking."

After Xun Chao and them had finished with them, he returned to his house. Although he was not the biggest official in Subei, his status was not low. After returning to the house, the housekeeper greeted him.

"Are you drunk?"

"Yes, Mr. Kang invites you, and it's hard to refuse. There are many colleagues at the table, and they also talked about refugees. Since ancient times, refugees have been a difficult problem to solve."

A dark light flashed in the butler's eyes: "Sir, you need to wash up first, and this old servant will go and get him a bowl of sober soup."

Master Fang stroked his forehead: "I'm a little dizzy, help me in."

In the darkness, a piece of black clothes silently streaked across the night sky.

In an inconspicuous corner, a middle-aged man in a gray robe turned out of the yard and walked all the way to the corner.

There was a seemingly inconspicuous carriage parked there.

"Have you found anything?" An indifferent voice came from the carriage.

"If you go back to your lord, it's business as usual, and no suspicious people were found in the mansion." The gray-robed man replied cautiously.

Xun House.

Xun Chao rubbed his aching forehead. He had just said those words to the housekeeper on purpose in the yard, in order to pass the news to Yinlongwei, who was hiding in Xun's residence. The housekeeper was also a member of Yinlongwei. Yes, but there are other people's spies in the mansion, and the person responsible for spreading the news is another person.

Beijing.

The materials raised by various places were transported to Subei one by one. The capital was the first to get the news and the first to act. Other places that were a little further away would set off later.

In addition to the doctor, some young people from various places were also called to go with him.

The hot summer is coming to an end, it rained in the capital, and the weather was much cooler.

"Is it still raining in Subei?" Shen Yu looked at the raindrops that were falling outside the window.

"No," Shang Junlin frowned, "Although there is little rain in Subei, it is rare that it does not rain for several months like this year."

Regarding the issue that it does not rain for several months in Subei, there have been discussions among the people. Major droughts are often accompanied by locust plagues. Subei has already suffered a locust plague in May and June. Otherwise, there will be no harvest.

"If it doesn't rain for a long time, I'm afraid there will be bad rumors."

Shen Yu's words became a proverb, and within a few days, rumors began to appear in various places:

It is said that the great drought in Subei was caused by God to warn the emperor not to do unkind things, nor to break the ancestral system at will...

It can be seen that each article is aimed at what Shang Junlin did during this period.
