Li Yanzhi studied at home and after two months, the drought that almost covered most of China occurred. Although Li Yanzhi was a time traveler, he did not study history after all. Even if he studied history, how many people could clearly remember every natural disaster that happened in history?

This time the natural disaster came so fiercely! He even had to modify his established plan for this!

Jiang Yifan asked him what to do.

In the first month, he said: "I turned a blind eye to the matter outside the window."

The second month, he said: "One of your heart is only in reading."

In the third month, as the disaster became more and more serious, Li Yan couldn't sit still. Jiang Yifan held him back and said, "What should I do about the exam?"

Li Yan said straight: "Let's read again when you come back."

Jiang Yifan said: "I'm afraid you'll never end when you move, and you won't be able to study with peace of mind."

Li Yan sighed: "Then... let's find a way to cheat."

Jiang Yifan laughed loudly, Feng Qi was very pleased and said, "The heart of the master is still hot after all!" All the disciples of the Six Art Hall agreed deeply.

When he was about to go out, he went to say goodbye to his parents. When Li Dashu knew what he meant, he was very supportive. Li Yanzhi's mother couldn't say anything, so he went to say goodbye to Su Mei, and said guiltily: "I originally wanted to stay at home for a longer time this time..."

Su Mei hurriedly said, "There is a big deal in the flood control system, but he still has to go through the house three times! What you do is a good thing, and it is a great merit. If you do it, you should do it! Why should you worry about family affairs? It's not the first time you have left home, why did your children suddenly grow up this time?"

"You don't know." Li Yanzhi said: "I'm afraid I'm not going back if I want to come back."

Su Mei was a little anxious when she heard this: "What?"

"Don't worry, it's not a bad thing." Li Yanzhi relaxed his expression so that Su Mei would misunderstand: "But after dealing with this matter, I will go to Beijing to take the exam. If I pass the exam, I will not be an official? At that time, I might be 'a young man and the boss come back'."

Su Meiqi said: "Isn't the test the next year? This disaster will not last until the next year, right?"

Li Yan said straight: "I don't know how long the natural disaster will last, but it shouldn't last as long as two years. But you also know that if I don't move, I will not treat the headache just for the things in front of me. This time I will do some things and get rid of the disaster relief work. I will have another thing next. I'm afraid that I will do it together with the disaster relief work, which will take time."

"As long as it is a serious matter, just do it!" Although Su Mei was a little reluctant, her face did not reveal anything, and said, "You don't have to worry if you have a big brother and I are here to take care of you."

Only then did Li Yanzhi set out, dispatching disciples, lobbying Shilin, or organizing merchants to raise silver and purchase food while raising money. This can be said to be the most used force of the people. However, in the government-led Chinese society, the power that the people can play is really limited, and it is almost a drop in the bucket for the disaster in China as a whole.

After the disaster relief operation was arranged, the specific matters were handed over to the disciples. Li Yanzhi did not directly participate. He was traveling everywhere in the province, and even arrived in Zhejiang. When he returned to Fujian and arrived in Zhangzhou, he met several large grain merchants who had hoarded goods. He persuaded the other party to open a position at a normal price, but the other party refused. Li Yanzhi promised to buy it at a price of 20% higher than the average price. The other party still refused. Li Yanzhi promised to buy it at a price of 10% higher than the market price, but the premise was to pay half first and the other half later. The other party still refused, saying that unless Li Yanzhi was three times the price, the current bank was enough to buy it, there was no need to talk about it!

Li Yanzhi was furious. His prestige when he was in Japan made his temper a little big, so he said to Lin Daogan: "You go and do them for me!"

Lin Daogan asked: "What should I do?"

Li Yan said straight: "It's up to you!"

Lin Daogan framed the blame and instructed the poor to falsely accused these big grains of Japanese food, and bribed officials and bribed the county magistrate. Because the communication with Japanese food involved national defense, the commander of Zhenhaiwei Tian Dake also sent someone to investigate. After investigation, "Sure enough" found evidence of these big grain merchants' communication with Japanese food! The county magistrate blamed him for the prison and seized his property. Li Yanzhi suggested using the grain he had accumulated to help the victims, and the magistrate followed him, and all the hungry people in the county were carnival!

The county magistrate entrusted the relief activities to the Li family members Zhan Zhen and Zhan Yi brothers. The two brothers are twins, from Longxi County, Zhangzhou Prefecture. They are both disciples of Liuyitang. Among them, the elder brother Zhan Zhen is a scholar and has served as the shopkeeper of Tongli in northern Fujian. He was recently transferred back to southern Fujian. His younger brother also took the exam for a scholar this year. After Li Yanzhi passed the examination, an imperial examination craze has been set off in the Liuyitang. Li Yanzhi thought that this trend may not bring all benefits, but he doesn't know whether it should be stopped for the time being.

The Zhan brothers have both fame and fortune, and behind the backs, even if they are local snakes in Zhangzhou, there is Zhenhaiwei by the sea, Zhang Wei by the moonlight, Wu Ping in Penghu, and Chen Yuting, the group echoes each other, in southern Fujian, it is really necessary to be breeze, rain, black and white, and everyone sells their face. In comparison, it is a trivial matter to be distributed in mere food, so what's the point!

After getting the grain that Lin Daogan extorted, the eldest son Zhan Zhen wanted to open a porridge factory. Seeing that the second son Zhan Yi had gained a lot, he advocated steaming white rice so that the hungry people could eat better. Li Yan heard it and hurriedly came and cursed, "You prodigal son! Prodigal son!" He was eager to cook porridge, mixed with mixed grains and vegetables, and each person was limited to the amount, so he could only eat six or seven percent full.

Zhan Yi was born in a middle-class family and had never suffered since childhood. He went over to taste it, but he felt it was astringent and very unpalatable. He frowned and said, "Can this be eaten?"

Li Yanzhi said coldly: "It's good that you can survive!"

Zhan Yi is a student who has just left Liuyi Hall and is separated from the sufferings of the people. At first, he was not able to understand Li Yanzhi's "ruthlessness" towards hungry people. However, as soon as the news of opening a porridge factory in Yuegang came, hungry people near the prefectures and counties came in a steady stream! Zhan Yi was shocked when he saw the scene! He thought fortunately he opened a porridge factory, and if he opened a meal factory, he would be afraid that he would not be able to support it for seven or eight days!

Li Yan heard that there was a saying among the people who were circulating the name of "Prince Li San" and was worried that he would be taboos, so he hurriedly sent someone to organize a praise team and transferred the name of relief to the court, and did not dare to make contributions. Therefore, more than 10,000 people lived in the porridge factory on the ground in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, but no longer praised Mr. Li, but everyone knelt northward and shouted long live the emperor.

The troubles of the day gradually came to an end. Li Yan sat in a small building in Yuegang. He heard the people outside praise the holy virtue of the present day and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he asked Jiang Yifan if there were other things overseas recently. Jiang Yifan said: "There is news from the Japanese side that 'that batch of goods' has indeed appeared, and the source is Shengjiu."

"I'll know this in the first month of the year." Li Yan said straight: "And what? There's no progress?"

Jiang Yifan said: "There is news that Yi and Tian, ​​even the three families seem to have seen clues, but they don't seem to have any action against Katsura Shimazu."

Li Yanzhi sneered and said, "What's so strange about it? Where are the three of them? They are either restrained by Poshan in some way, or they are bribed by Poshan! If they can handle Poshan by relying on them, I'd be surprised. Is there anything else?"

Jiang Yifan said: "Yu Ting wrote a letter, saying that a large number of victims had flocked to him."

Li Yanzhi said oh and asked, "How many people are there? How did he do it?"

Jiang Yifan said: "By the time he wrote the letter, there were about two or three thousand people. He organized manpower and transported all the victims to the seniors for resettlement."

Li Yan said happily: "Okay, okay! Well done!"

Jiang Yifan said: "But he scolded you in the letter."

"Call me?" Li Yan suddenly made a surprise: "What did he scold me?"

"He said that you should not use injustice to deal with those grain merchants." Jiang Yifan smiled and said, "In his letter, he said, 'The master should be an example for the righteous people in the world! He defiled his own virtues for a temporary temporary measure, and it would not be worth the loss!' There are other things, I will not read them in a long and long way. In short, you should not use despicable means - even if you use evil means to do good things! Because later generations will take you as an example and leave endless troubles. He said that you always advocate what you should have a just procedure, but now you have destroyed it. Moreover, it is difficult to build up a righteous spirit, but it is easy to destroy the righteous spirit. The most important thing now is to establish a rule to correct evil, and you cannot always use power to spell magic to achieve your goal, because using power to spell magic can't achieve the ultimate governance."

Li Yan was stunned and murmured: "He was just as good at reasoning as before. But after practicing in Penghu for so many years, why are people still so pedantic and established a just procedure? Can we do this now..." Suddenly, I remembered something, and wrote a letter to read it myself, and read it very carefully.

Jiang Yifan smirked and said, "This kid is even better at scolding people than me. Do you want to catch him and spank him?"

Li Yanzhi suddenly slapped the letter on the table, furious, snorted twice, and shouted: "Prepare the boat! Go and prepare the boat! I'll go to Penghu now! Another prodigal son!"

Jiang Yifan didn't expect him to react so much, so he said carefully: "Sanshe, you won't be really angry, right? Yuting said something a little ugly. Actually, there is no malicious intention, don't..."

Li Yan gave him a straight look and sneered, "You are too! You can't even read the letter!" Jiang Yifan was stunned and didn't understand why, Li Yanzhi handed the letter over and said, "Look at how he accepted the victims!"

Jiang Yifan took a closer look and said, "It's nothing..."

"It's nothing!" Li Yan said angrily: "Anyone comes and gets three-double rice, so that he can settle down and have a happy life. Humph! I beg my grandfather and grandma everywhere. Even if they are willing to sell me one and a half liters, I will be relieved for a long time. He is generous! A white rice is three-double rice! A prodigal son, a prodigal son!"

Jiang Yifan said in surprise: "In the past, we recruited immigrants to develop Penghu. The senior officials also gave them three or five dou of rice when they came."

Li Yan glared at him and said, "It was the past, now it is now! We were afraid that we could not recruit people to develop the development staff before, but now we are afraid that there will be too many people at once. Can the two situations be compared? Alas, you are also a prodigal son! One or two are like this, so how can I go north with peace of mind!" (To be continued. If you want to know what happens next, please log in.
