Chapter 202 I want to be a hero too! Here I come
Chapter 202 I also want to be a great hero! (Here he comes!)
Bao Zheng took the time to arrange the work of the Department of Household Affairs. He has received the appointment and will set off to Haizhou to investigate the case in the near future.
He was busy working vigorously when suddenly a subordinate official came over and told him: "Judge Bao, the household has brought Zhang Heng to see you."
When Bao Zheng heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Please come quickly."
Zhang Heng came in with a smile: "No need to please, no need to invite, I'm already here."
Then the subordinate saw a surprising scene. Judge Bao, who had always been cold and cold, had a smile on his face, which really shocked him: Oh my god, Judge Bao can still smile.
Bao Zheng not only smiled, but was also very enthusiastic: "Ju Zheng, come on, sit down, I'm just looking for you to ask about the situation."
Bao Zheng waved his hand to the subordinate officials. Although the subordinate officials were very curious, they could only see the interest and leave.
As soon as the subordinate staff left, Zhang Heng's face sank.
Bao Zheng was surprised and said: "Why, this case is unusual?"
Zhang Heng took a deep breath and explained the whole story clearly. Bao Zheng was calm at first, but after hearing this, he was still furious, and his whole face was as dark as Bao Qingtian.
Zhang Heng said angrily: "...I naturally understand that there are political struggles in officialdom, but political struggles need to be limited within a certain range.
It is a great evil in the world to use tens of millions of victims as bargaining chips, force them to go bankrupt with high food prices, sell off their land and homes, and become homeless.
This time the officials want to settle the matter, I am very unhappy, and I want to inform you, Brother Xiren, of these things. Of course, Brother Xiren has the final say on how to do it. If Brother Xiren handles this matter truthfully, it may affect the
Brother Xiren’s future..."
Bao Zheng stopped Zhang Heng's words and said: "Thank you Ju Zheng for coming to tell me about this, but in fact you don't need to do this..."
Bao Zheng smiled and said: "...I, how could you let this go? If the official is not angry with me because of this, then it doesn't matter if the official doesn't do it, you shouldn't come."
Zhang Heng regretted a little and said, "Yes, I really shouldn't have come. If I came, I would be in danger."
Bao Zheng laughed loudly, and the sound spread outside the palace. When the subordinate officials heard Bao Zheng's voice, they were even more surprised: Oh my god, Master Bao not only laughs, but also laughs...
Bao Zheng smiled and said: "Ju Zheng, you underestimate me. What I mean is that you shouldn't come, because if I are demoted because of this, you will definitely feel guilty, but even if you don't come
, will I just let this matter go?..."
Bao Zheng's eyes were firm and his tone was sonorous: "...I have been in office for so many years, but I don't know what compromise is. They treat the people as nothing, and I also regard them as nothing. They have done such a heinous thing, if
How can you calm the anger in my heart without being punished?"
Although Bao Zheng said this, Zhang Heng still felt guilty, thinking that he shouldn't be like this. It was just his own indignation, but he still wanted to drag Bao Zheng into trouble and let Bao Zheng take such a risk. It really shouldn't be!
Zhang Heng even felt a little despicable.
Bao Zheng saw what Zhang Heng meant, smiled and patted Zhang Heng on the shoulder and said: "Ju Zheng, you don't have to be like this, I know what you are like, you have done enough!
From the beginning of the new year, you first took the lead in the famine policy, and then took the lead, constantly asking for disaster relief food funds from the Cao Department, and offended many people. It was precisely because of your sacrifice that you were able to make this happen.
State and county granaries are full.
To be honest, I have such a heart, but I don't have the ability or the courage to push things to this point.
However, you have a pure heart, but you have countless ambitions, greedy wolves eyeing these grains, and countless careerists with ulterior motives who want to achieve certain goals of their own, embezzling your efforts and ruining things to this point!
If there weren't these people, if you were upright, your actions could bring thousands of people to life, and make people all over the world praise the officials..."
Having said this, Bao Zheng remembered what Zhang Heng said about "the official family wants to calm down troubles" and frowned: "...the official family really shouldn't do it. If this is the case, who among the ministers will work hard for the world in the future...
…”
Zhang Heng waved his hands and said, "Brother Xiren, be careful what you say."
Bao Zheng took a deep breath and said: "What I mean is that you have done enough.
There is no one in the civil and military circles who can do what you have done, no one has the courage to do it, and no one is willing to do it.
The fact that you are able to take the risk of offending everyone has already proven that you are dedicated to serving the country and the people. You don’t need to think that you are the cause of it just because I want to do something for the country..."
Bao Zheng smiled and said: "...I also want to be a great hero!"
Zhang Heng looked at Bao Zheng in shock. Although Bao Zheng spoke with a smile, there were tears in his eyes, gentleness and appreciation, and even more pride.
"Ju Zheng, I am proud to know you and be able to help you! You are the great hero even though thousands of people have died!"
Zhang Heng suddenly felt warm in his heart, and great courage emerged from the bottom of his heart. Suddenly he felt that I was not alone in my path.
Yes, this world is filthy from top to bottom. There is a Zhao official family who only wants to maintain the Zhao family, a group of civil servants and generals who only want to keep their official positions, a group of corrupt officials who are lying on the people to suck blood, and a large group of people who are obsessed with the people.
The local tyrants and evil gentry who destroy their bones and suck their marrow...from top to bottom, there are very few good people. No one is willing to take care of the people at the bottom who have been exploited and are already stooped and overwhelmed while enjoying the wealth of the people!
But, after all, there are people like Bao Zheng, right?
"It's done, let's go."
Bao Zheng started to chase people away.
Zhang Heng wanted to say a few more words, but Bao Zheng was about to start cursing: "Hurry up, hurry up, I have my responsibilities, and you also have yours. After I eliminate the evildoers, there will be so many refugees in the world who are waiting for food.
Don’t you have to come to save my life?”
Zhang Heng had no choice but to leave.
But when he went back, his steps were brisk.
When he came, he felt that his steps were heavy, so heavy that every time he stepped on the ground, there was a loud echo.
On the second day, Zhang Heng rode a donkey outside the city gate and watched from a distance as Bao Zheng and the soldier Ning set off with many people. Han Qi did not set off from Bianjing, but directly developed Zhihaizhou from Rendi.
.
"It's a long way to go, Mr. Bao, please promise."
Zhang Heng said in a low voice.
Then he turned the donkey and went into the city. He still had a lot of things to do.
The first wave of disaster victims was about to arrive no matter what, and he had to arrange work as soon as possible.
Sure enough, as soon as he returned to his room, the political hall summoned him.
Because Jia Changchao was impeached, he stayed at home. Song Xiang and Ding Du were also hit by Zhang Heng's big move, so they had no choice but to stay at home.
Fortunately, there were Zeng Gongliang and Wang Gongchen in the Zhengshi Hall, otherwise the Zhengshi Hall would have almost been paralyzed.
"Ju Zheng, the wave of refugees has entered Chenliu County and will arrive in Bianjing City in the near future. There may be more than 200,000 people this time. If they all flood into Bianjing City at the same time, Bianjing City will be troubled from now on. What we mean is that we should
What do you think of these people blocking the way outside Bianjing City?"
Zhang Heng smiled and said: "This matter is easy."
Wang Gongchen said in surprise: "Easy? Are you afraid that you don't know how many people are more than 200,000 people? If there are 10,000 people, it's boundless. If there are 100,000 people, it'll be endless. More than 200,000 people, still...
There are more than 200,000 hungry victims. If someone incites them, it will be a huge disaster."
Zhang Heng nodded and said: "Yes, so I have already made a plan."
Zeng Gongliang knew that Zhang Heng had always paid attention to him and said happily: "Hurry up and tell me."
Zhang Heng nodded and said: "Since there are many people, we will conduct diversion and immediately order the prefectures and counties along the way to take in the victims and set up tents to provide disaster relief. All expenditures will be made from Changpingcang.
In addition, the lower official has already sorted out the status of water conservancy facilities, roads and bridges, and various major projects in various states and counties. Zhongshu can issue an order to order the states and counties to immediately start these projects and absorb the victims as labor force. Not only must they provide food, but also
They also have to pay wages, and the money is for them to use on their way back home.
The project is just an emergency relief move, the most important thing is to send them back to their hometowns and get their fields and houses back, otherwise these people will truly become refugees and become a serious problem for the imperial court!"
Wang Gongchen had served as the Third Secretary-General. After a little calculation, he frowned: "It makes some sense, but you didn't tell us where the money came from?"
Zhang Heng said with a smile: "Before, I went to Caoshu Baisi to beg for alms, plus the reserve funds for disaster relief in each household, there are already more than one million yuan. Of course, it is not enough to help the victims of the disaster all over the world, but if it is an emergency, it is more than enough.
Moreover, when projects are launched in various places, the money and food that should be paid by the three companies are originally allocated, and they also have this budget.
It's just that some of them were originally started in the second half of the year, and some of them don't need to be started for the time being. It's best to start them all at this time.
Just to deal with the situation at this time, the Third Division can probably support it, and the two political advisors can persuade Zhang Jixiang."
Zeng Gongliang and Wang Gongchen looked at each other, and both saw the smiles in each other's eyes.
Wang Gongchen said with a smile: "Young people are still broad-minded, and all these things have been tricked by you..."
He thought for a while and said: "...It's just that there should be no problem in dealing with the current situation. However, the problem of the refugees returning home is that their fields and houses have been sold. When they go back, they have no houses to live in and no fields to cultivate.
After they go back, they will still be refugees, and they will still be in danger of unrest, and this is the most important thing."
Zhang Heng's smile gradually disappeared, and his eyes gradually became sharp. He glanced at Wang Gongchen, then at Zeng Gongliang, and then said in a deep voice: "So, now is the time for the two husbands to make up their minds, or let these things go.
The refugees are displaced, or we need to help them get their fields and homes back!"
"This is the way to die!"
Zeng Gongliang exclaimed in surprise.
Zeng Gongliang and Wang Gongchen both saw the shock in each other's eyes.
