Upon hearing that Song De was going to find Ma Shaoxing again, the expression on Song Liang's face became intriguing.
"Second brother, are you still going to find this Ma Shaoxing?"
"This Ma Shaoxing..."
"It's just average, right?"
"Average?" Song De glanced at Song Liang sarcastically, "What is it?"
"This Mr. Ma is obviously a genius in the world!"
"By the way, I remember that you highly recommended this Mr. Ma to me!"
Hearing this, Song Liang shut his mouth knowingly.
Indeed, it was true that Ma Shaoxing was recommended to the second child by himself.
But this operation was all done under the coercion and inducement of the fourth child!
Song Liang originally wanted to kindly remind him that there were some unknown tricks in it.
But when he heard Song De's words, he still chose Mingzhe to protect himself!
If the second child really knew that Ma Shaoxing was the fourth child, then as the recommender, wouldn't he also die miserably?
The only solution for now is to cut ties with this Ma Shaoxing as soon as possible!
"Well, second brother, third brother suddenly remembered that there are important things to deal with!"
"I won't accompany my second brother to see Mr. Ma!"
"You get busy first!"
After saying these words, Song Liang ran away as if the soles of his feet were greased.
Seeing Song Liang's back walking away quickly, Song De was speechless.
This guy must have taken the wrong medicine today, every move he made was so abnormal!
Besides, no one invited him to meet Ma Shaoxing just now!
What we discussed with Ma Shaoxing was a top-secret matter.
Can you let him know about such an important thing casually?
Thinking that all the plans were going so smoothly, Song De felt happy.
Just as he was about to order someone to prepare a car for him to leave the palace, he saw Xiao Yunzi, his personal eunuch, trotting all the way and hurried forward.
"Your Highness!"
"Vice-General Li Ping'an and Li are asking for an audience outside the palace. Please tell me!"
Song De was overjoyed when he heard that Li Ping'an had found him outside the palace gate.
It seems that if Ma Shaoxing said, this Li Ping'an can't sit still immediately!
"Change my clothes immediately. I have to leave the palace for an appointment!"
Xiao Yunzi looked hesitant: "But Your Highness, Sun Shu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and Mr. Sun are also hosting a banquet at Huixian Yage and invite you to come!"
Sun Shutong?
This Sun Shutong invited Song De to have a drink with him a few days ago, but he only drank wine during the dinner and didn't say much else.
Such a big thing happened today, and he invited me to a banquet again.
Could it be...
Song De pondered for a moment and then told Xiao Yunzi: "Prepare the car and go to Huixian Yage!"
"yes!"
…
In the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Father-in-law, I was too busy some time ago and didn't even have time to come and visit."
"Today, I brought two jars of fine wine."
"I won't return until I get drunk with my father-in-law!"
Looking at the two jars of good wine brought by Song Huan, Cheng Xun's face was half happy and half sad.
Fortunately, the current Prince Rong is his virtuous son-in-law, and his girl's happiness for the rest of her life is already secured.
The worry is...
"Your Highness, I also want to have a drink with you, and we'll stop after we get drunk!"
"It's just that when I think about the series of disasters that have happened in recent days, I feel heavy."
"Your Highness, please forgive me for disturbing Your Highness's pleasure!"
Song Huan put down the two small wine jars, smiled at Cheng Xun and shook his head: "My father-in-law cares about the country of Daliang, he is indeed a model courtier!"
"How can I blame my father-in-law?"
"It's just that things have to be done one by one. Whether you drink or not has no impact on whether you do things or not!"
"I wonder why my father-in-law is troubled so much?"
Cheng Xun put down the wine cup in his hand thoughtfully and let out a sigh of relief.
"The snow disaster in Youzhou and the drought in Guanzhong are both very distressing!"
Song Huan nodded: "It is really sad and regrettable that the people are suffering from this."
“But there’s no problem in the world that money can’t solve!”
"If it still can't be solved, then the money is still not spent enough!"
"Regarding the snow disaster in Youzhou, the first priority is to resettle the victims."
"Therefore, money must be allocated immediately to the severely affected areas in Youzhou to provide temporary shelter for the people."
"At the same time, we will first borrow food from nearby state capitals that have not been affected by the snow disaster to alleviate the immediate needs of the victims who are hungry!"
"Of course, countless people suffered frostbite in the snowstorm."
"I will seek help from Dr. Lu, the envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital, to see if she can develop an ointment that can effectively prevent and treat frostbite!"
"In this way, the damage caused by snow disasters to the people can always be minimized."
Hearing Song Huan's clear and logical solution, Cheng Xun's eyes lit up!
He did not expect that Prince Rong seemed not to be concerned about the snow disaster, but in fact he had already planned the best solution!
This is no more than a hundred or a thousand times better than those empty talkers who talk about the righteousness of the world and the common people and the country, but in fact have empty minds and only care about their own reputation!
Song Huan picked up the tea cup, took a sip, moistened his throat, and continued: "As for the drought in Guanzhong, the top priority right now is the resettlement of the refugees."
"Most of the people in Guanzhong fled eastward. Some of them ran fast and almost reached the gate of the capital!"
"Father-in-law, how do you think ordinary officials will deal with these displaced victims?"
Without thinking, Cheng Xun immediately replied: "Then naturally we will resettle the displaced victims in the local area first, and then send them back to other places after the disaster is resolved!"
Unexpectedly, Song Huan shook his head decisively.
"Throughout the ages, most officials have used this method when dealing with refugees."
"As everyone knows, this method not only fails to solve the problem at the source, but will aggravate the original problem again!"
Cheng Xun was startled: "Why is it getting worse?"
"Isn't this the fastest way to solve the problem of refugees?"
Song Huan explained patiently: "Looking at the current situation, the refugees have been resettled quickly."
"But those areas that host refugees are about to face food shortages and resource shortages."
"This year is another severe winter that only happens once in a century. If such a situation occurs, there is no guarantee that new problems will not break out in these areas!"
"In this case, wouldn't it mean that we have to spend time and money to solve the new problems caused by the refugees?"
"Besides, as far as I know, droughts occur frequently in Guanzhong throughout the year."
"The fundamental reason is that the management and allocation of water resources are not reasonable enough!"
"Moreover, the local crops are not drought-resistant enough, so the local food reserves are insufficient and the people cannot survive the winter safely!"
"If this problem is not fundamentally solved, problems will continue to reoccur every year."
"Once these refugees are resettled elsewhere, they will never want to return."
"If this continues, in a few years, the west of Guanzhong will become a desolate wasteland!"
