Chapter 221 Another usage of the refugee map(1/4)
At 10 o'clock in the evening, Chu Ge once again entered the game world of "Dark Sand".
After a day of preparation, he had already figured out how to deal with the "change of weather".
Historically, Wang Wenchuan's attitude towards changes in the weather was that "there is no need to fear changes in the sky", but in fact this attitude could not solve the problem.
For Chu Ge, if he wants to better solve this problem, he must comply with the ancient thoughts of heaven and man, thereby seeking legitimacy for the reform.
This is superstitious and helpless, but in this era, there is no other way.
"How to deal with changes in weather?
"This is actually a systematic project..."
Chu Ge went through his plan again in his mind.
On the surface, the new law was suspended because Zhang Renxia was on the refugee map and blamed the new law for the severe drought that lasted for several months. Moreover, Zhang Renxia also vowed that it would rain within ten days.
, this also became the last straw that broke the new law.
Some people may think that what if Wang Wenchuan had said in advance that it would definitely rain within ten days?
What if Wang Wenchuan emphasized that the severe drought was because local officials did not implement the new law properly, leading to anger and resentment?
That won't actually have much effect.
Because the ancient theory of induction between heaven and man is actually a very logically self-consistent system.
At that time, the new law was in the process of being implemented, so once there was a natural change, in the eyes of most people at the time, especially most officials and scholar-bureaucrats, it must be caused by the new law. Even the emperor himself would have such doubts in his heart.
As for Wang Wenchuan, it is actually difficult to refute this point under the system of divine induction.
Therefore, when faced with similar attacks, he could only stubbornly emphasize that "there is no need to fear changes in nature", but could not conversely say that changes in nature were due to the failure of local officials to implement the new laws.
At this time, Chu Ge wanted to think of a better solution to solve this problem under the system of heaven and man induction.
The final focus was on the severe drought that lasted for several months and the picture of Zhang Renxia as a high-class refugee.
"The picture of Zhang Renxia's upper class is the final blow to the entire heaven-human induction system. This is an attack by the old party on the new law by using a natural disaster that happened to happen.
"According to the system of induction between heaven and man, the matter of 'change in heaven' will inevitably fall on the new law.
"The effect of forced sophistry will not be very good, because I opened the God's perspective, but the emperor may not have opened it. The emperor himself was not firm, and he panicked when he saw such a serious natural disaster, so even if I use my identity as Wang Wenchuan to swear
I swear, the effect will not be very good...
"The best solution is to fundamentally reverse this direction within the system of heaven and man's induction."
Returning to the Political Affairs Hall again, Chu Ge made the following arrangements as Wang Wenchuan.
First, change the personnel arrangements and arrange Wen Junshi and some important officials of the old party to Daming Prefecture in Hebei and surrounding prefectures and counties.
Daming Mansion was one of the five capitals of the Qi Dynasty, and it was also the northern barrier of the capital. Once a war broke out, this place would bear the brunt.
Second, in the provisions of the reform, Damingfu and surrounding prefectures and counties were not required to implement any new laws, but were still implemented according to the old laws of the old party.
Third, Damingfu and surrounding prefectures and counties are required to increase the reserves of Changpingcang.
As for why such an arrangement was made?
It's because Chu Ge found some details of the comeback in the vast original text of historical materials.
The direct reason why Wang Wenchuan was dismissed as prime minister was Zhang Renxia’s picture of refugees. So, where did the refugees come from?
Many people have not considered this issue.
In fact, these refugees all came from around Daming Mansion.
The severe drought at that time did not affect the entire Qi Dynasty, but mainly affected the area around Daming Mansion.
So, why did so many refugees suddenly gather around the capital, so that refugees were everywhere, and Zhang Renxia used this as the material to draw the picture of refugees?
Because the officials of Daming Mansion came here deliberately!
According to historical records, the magistrate of Daming Prefecture at that time was an old party member who had not been completely liquidated.
After the severe drought broke out, he first used the Changpingcang in Daming Mansion to absorb the surrounding refugees and made a gesture of helping the people.
However, a few months later, when all the refugees were almost gathered, he suddenly made an excuse and said that Daming Mansion was an important town in the north and he wanted to leave enough food for the army, so he simply drove all the accumulated refugees to the capital!
Therefore, these refugees who should have been absorbed by the local area all gathered around the capital, creating a feeling of "starvation everywhere and people having no means of livelihood".
This naturally became a tool for the old party to criticize the new law.
This record is hidden in historical materials, and not many people made a big deal about it. After all, in the eyes of the ancients, the reasons used by the officials of Daming Mansion were reasonable and reasonable, and Wen Junshi and other book editors were eager to turn this pot into a pot.
Put it on Wang Wenchuan’s new law.
But Chu Ge used this record to outline a huge conspiracy.
For the sake of party struggle, these old party officials could ignore the safety of the hungry people and forcibly drive them to the capital to become consumables for criticizing the new law.
In the process, the angry hungry people also vented all their resentment on Wang Wenchuan's new method, leaving Wang Wenchuan with a huge blame.
But now, Chu Ge is going to throw the blame to the old party and let them carry it firmly!
…
The fog in front of him dissipated, and Wang Wenchuan, played by Chu Ge, appeared at An's door in the capital.
At this time, Zhang Renxia's official position was that of a door supervisor.
During the reform process, Zhang Renxia wrote to Wang Wenchuan many times, hoping that he could repeal the new law. Of course, Wang Wenchuan ignored it.
Therefore, Zhang Renxia's official career was not prosperous, and in the end he only became a door supervisor.
However, it was precisely because of his position as gate supervisor that he was able to see the large number of refugees coming from Daming Mansion, draw a map of the refugees, and submit it to the emperor.
When Chu Ge came to An's door, Zhang Renxia was splashing ink and continuing the creation of "Refugee Picture".
Seeing Wang Wenchuan's sudden arrival, he couldn't help being startled, and the brush in his hand trembled: "Jing Gong... you, why are you here..."
Zhang Renxia was startled by Wang Wenchuan's sudden arrival.
Because since Zhang Renxia opposed the new law, the two of them have drifted apart and have not contacted each other for a long time. What's more, Wang Wenchuan is the prime minister and is busy with official duties on weekdays, so there is no reason to come to the city gate to visit him for a short time.
The gatekeeper.
Chu Ge looked at the unfinished "Refugee Picture" with a meaningful smile on his face: "What a painting."
Zhang Renxia's expression was a little awkward. He didn't understand what Wang Wenchuan's words meant.
This refugee map has been completely completed, and it is self-evident as to what role it will play.
With Wang Wenchuan's intelligence, it was impossible not to know.
Zhang Renxia originally thought that Wang Wenchuan would be angry, but unexpectedly, at this time, Wang Wenchuan was unexpectedly calm.
Chu Ge looked at Zhang Renxia. This historical figure used to be one of the key roles played by the players, but now, he is on the opposite side of the players.
"follow me."
Chu Ge took Zhang Renxia to the city gate where the gate was installed and looked into the distance.
The view here is excellent, and you can clearly see the refugees gathering under the city.
I think Zhang Renxia often draws materials here.
Chu Ge sighed softly and said: "Jiefu, do you really think that the rise of refugees is all caused by the new law?"
Zhang Renxia took a deep breath: "Jing Gong, the new law must not be implemented. This is the consensus of the high-minded scholars and officials in the court..."
He poured out all the emotions that had accumulated in his heart.
Zhang Renxia sincerely believed that the new law was a bad law that was harmful to the country and the people. He had written to Wang Wenchuan many times before, but he never got a reply from Wang Wenchuan. Now that they finally met face to face, he could naturally muster up the courage to face Wang Wenchuan and Wang Wenchuan.
The fault of the new law.
For Zhang Renxia, his courage and determination are top-notch in history. In other dynasties, he is definitely an official who dares to die to remonstrate with the monarch.
Chu Ge waited patiently for him to finish, and then asked: "Then do you know where these refugees come from?"
Zhang Renxia was stunned for a moment: "These refugees are from the north."
Chu Ge nodded: "Then do you know that Daming Mansion is actually in charge of Wen Jun. Daming Mansion and the surrounding counties have long been exempted from enforcing the new law.
"Not only that, as early as a year ago, I had asked Daming Prefecture and surrounding counties and counties to purchase a large amount of grain and replenish the Changping warehouse to prepare for emergencies.
"At this time, Daming Prefecture should have enough food to accommodate these refugees. But they drove all these refugees to the capital.
"Jiefu, why do you think this is?"
After speaking, Chu Ge looked at Zhang Renxia.
The expression on his face at this time showed a variety of emotions thanks to his acting skills.
There are worries about the country and the people, the grievances of being wronged, and the melancholy of not being understood...
Zhang Renxia was stunned: "Jing Gong, this..."
He was confused.
Obviously, Wang Wenchuan's words were completely unexpected.
As a gate supervisor, he saw a large number of refugees coming from the north, and knew that a severe drought was breaking out at this time. Everyone said that this was caused by the new law, which aroused the anger of heaven and people, so he issued a punishment from heaven as a warning.
To be continued...
