Jia Changchao naturally understood and laughed when he heard the words: "Can't you understand?"

Zeng Gongliang smiled bitterly and nodded: "Didn't I come to ask you for advice?"

Jia Changchao laughed and took out a handwritten booklet and handed it to Zeng Gongliang: "Look at this."

Zeng Gongliang was very surprised when he saw the cover: "This is Ju Zheng's word... The Twelve Articles of Huang Zheng?"

Zeng Gongliang was a little surprised, "...Is this a disaster relief plan?"

Jia Changchao nodded and said, "Our disciple is a genius! Do you know what the 12 articles of Huang Zheng contain?"

Zeng Gongliang hurriedly wanted to turn over the book, but Jia Changchao had already said it: "...there are two out of ten policies in famine: one is to prepare for the disaster; the second is to eliminate evil; the third is to save the famine; the fourth is to provide relief; the fifth is to reduce the waste; the sixth is to reduce the evil.

Loans; the seventh is called Fu; the eighth is called postponement of levies; the ninth is called trade; the tenth is persuaded to lose; the eleventh is called construction; the second of the tenth is called gathering in exile."

Jia Changchao said slowly, Zeng Gongliang's eyes became brighter and brighter.

After Jia Changchao finished speaking twelve points, he then asked Zeng Gongliang: "...how?"

Zeng Gongliang didn't know when he stood up. When Jia Changchao asked him, Zeng Gongliang said excitedly: "With these 12 items, the Song Dynasty's famine relief strategy is complete!"

Speaking of disaster relief, the Song Dynasty followed the experience of the Tang Dynasty and set up grain reserve institutions such as Changpingcang, and also reduced taxes, but it was not so systematic.

Moreover, even if the Song Dynasty had the experience of the Tang Dynasty, not every official had such abilities.

Let’s just talk about Fan Zhongyan. He can be considered a capable minister. If you look at his disaster relief methods, you can read the records in Mengxi’s written talks:

[In the second year of Huangyou's reign, there was a great famine in Wuzhong, and many people died on the road.

At that time, Fan Wenzheng was leading the army in the west of Zhejiang Province... He was very well-prepared for his skills, and the people of Wu liked to cross the river in order to do Buddhist services.

Xiwen Nai invited the people to race across the river, and the prefect held a banquet on the lake at sunrise. From spring to summer, the residents went out in empty alleys.

He also summoned the heads of Buddhist temples and told them: "In the hungry years, wages are extremely cheap, so we can carry out large-scale construction work."

As a result, the work in various temples flourished.]

So, what is his approach to disaster relief?

Um……

One is to organize people’s boat races and provide food and drinks;

The second is to encourage large-scale construction of Buddhist temples.

【???】

For capable ministers like Fan Zhongyan, disaster relief methods seem to be very lacking. Although these measures are of course effective to a certain extent, they can benefit too few people!

After listening to Zeng Gongliang's words, Jia Changchao smiled and said, "Your Majesty said so too."

Zeng Gongliang understood it as soon as he heard it, and said a little jealously: "This boy, you don't show me this good thing first! Humph!"

Jia Changchao chuckled: "I guess he didn't think of it at first. It just changed with time. Because this crisis was due to drought, he came up with a solution to the problem so that I could escape this disaster."

Of course Zeng Gongliang understood this truth. While he was jealous, he was also very proud. His words sounded like complaints and pride: "This kid!"
