    Luoyang City woke up to the echoing bells.  Because the weather was getting colder, Luoyang City was shrouded in a light mist in the early morning. In this mist, Ye Chang and his party walked through the neighborhoods of Luoyang City and headed towards the government office.  The sound of cocks crowing and dogs barking can be heard endlessly in the city. People who got up early came out of their workshops one after another. Gentlemen and women gathered together, and business travelers were densely packed.  Such a prosperous city, if history does not change, will face extinction in more than ten years.  First it was occupied by rebels, and then given to foreign mercenaries by Li Tang.  Countless ladies and gentlemen, like the peonies all over the city, fell to the ground and were crushed into mud.  Barbarism always has its own advantages over civilization. If civilization falls into internal strife again, its overthrow will not be far away.  With such emotion, Ye Chang came to Yang Shenming.  "I sent you the famous assassin the day before yesterday, why did you arrive today?" Yang Shenming was very unhappy. He sent someone to invite Ye Chang, hoping that Ye Chang would come to rescue him. However, Ye Chang had obviously arrived long ago, but he was delayed for two days.  Ricai came to see him.  "Two days, this is precious time." There was heavy frost this morning, and reports have been reported outside that two victims froze to death.  If Ye Chang had met him earlier and found a solution, perhaps this man who froze to death could have recovered. "As soon as he entered the city, he was trapped by common things, so it was too late." Ye Chang was also a little ashamed.  "Common things I have heard that Ye Langjun and former Tai Le ordered Cao Shaokui to capture demons at Dafuxian Temple." Yang Shenming stared at Ye Chang: "Did you know that Li Gong, the prime minister of the current dynasty, admired him very much?  Regarding your talents, my brother advised the officials and heard what Li Gongchang said, "Ye Shiyi is very talented, but he only has two regrets. One is his frivolous behavior, and the other is his harsh words and deeds. Both of these are the ways to death."  The country's plan to preserve talents cannot allow Ye Shiyi to occupy an official position. "Ye Chang has done a lot of things in the past year. Even Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan know his reputation and have indirect contacts with him. Therefore, Li Linfu knows.  Not surprising for him.  What makes Ye Chang strange is that Li Linfu would evaluate him like this - this is really a very honest evaluation.  With the knowledge of another life, he naturally has no shortage of talents, but the experience of another life makes him a little cynical even when he is old. Therefore, everything is rarely formal, and he refuses to speak to others.  These are all shortcomings of his character, and he has suffered a lot for this since the Tang Dynasty.  The last time he was assassinated outside Chang'an City, he was closer to death than ever before. Ye Chang, who had come to this life inexplicably, began to reflect a little.  It was this reflection that led him to lend a helping hand to Yuan Zai.  Many people know about his problem, but not many people speak out about it.  "However, you did save me from a disaster yesterday. I still want to thank you." Yang Shenming added after he finished scolding.  "What did Duke Ming say?" Ye Chang's heart moved and he asked.  "The assassination of Shen Xi." Yang Shenming frowned, feeling very distressed: "I never thought there would be such trouble." Although Shen Xi, Ye Chang and others left, they also left behind two stewards and  Dealing with Wuhou's shop.  Therefore, Yang Shen knew that when Shen Xi was assassinated, drums were beating behind closed doors and there were many people on the street, so many people saw him at the scene.  Afterwards, it was not surprising that Ye Chang was involved.  Ye Chang was even more curious: "This Mr. Shen is a descendant of whose family I don't know, and the assassin wants to assassinate him? Is there something wrong with the identity of this assassin, and Ming Gong is in trouble because of this?" "It's not just embarrassing, the assassin is in trouble.  That's all, I know what's behind it, but I can't do anything about it." Yang Shenming glanced at Ye Chang and stopped talking in the middle of his sentence: "This matter has nothing to do with you, and the assassin will not take revenge on you.  Just don't worry. It's okay to assassinate Shen Xi. If I take the initiative to assassinate you again, will you treat me like a soldier of the Tang Dynasty?" "This" Yang Shenming did not reveal Shen Xi's identity after all. There must be a reason behind it.  He didn't say anything, and Ye Chang couldn't ask. His attention shifted to resettling the victims. "That's it. There are 2,319 victims in total - now there are 2,317 victims. Some time ago, there were 2,317 victims."  The weather is getting colder these days, and people are freezing to death every day. "Ye Shiyi, if you have any good ideas, please tell me." "Is the treasury empty?"  Hearing this news, he couldn't help but frowned.  It¡¯s only mid-October, and people are already freezing to death. How many more will freeze to death in the colder months of November and December?  With the power of Luoyang Mansion, which is the capital of Dongdu, it should not be a difficult task for this big city with a population of one million to accommodate more than 2,000 victims.  I'm afraid there is some reason behind this.  "The saint wants to tour east again." Yang Shenming made Ye Chang understand with one sentence.  ??????????????????????????It means a huge waste of thousands of dollars, not to mention other things, the number of accompanying sergeants and officials will be hundreds of thousands.  So many people eat horse chews, as well as the food and drink of the servants who have to work for these people, all added up, the consumption is by no means a little bit.  There is naturally food in Luoyang¡¯s treasuryThere is money, but Yang Shenming cannot use the money and food.  He could use it, but he had to keep it to guard against "nonsense." Ye Chang couldn't help but cursed in his heart. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away  "At least your Majesty will definitely go to the Hot Spring Palace." Yang Shenming added, and then smiled bitterly: "Therefore, there is really nothing I can do, thinking that you saved a whole village from the flood without any help at the beginning.  Bring out I will give you my full support. Can you successfully resettle these two thousand victims? " "I am not an official" "I know you are not interested in this, but for the sake of convenience, I have already reported to the court.  As usual in Chang'an, I specially hired you to record affairs for Luoyang Quan. "Ye Chang was really speechless. The guy from Han Chaozong has made a good start. Recording affairs is not a good job in the first place. Although he has good character and can be regarded as a high-ranking official.  , but this official position was originally prepared for those low-ranking officials. They had no hope of passing the imperial examination and were promoted to high-ranking officials, so they relied on this recorder.  It can be seen how embarrassing the official position of "recording affairs" is.  As for adding the word "quan" in front, it means temporary.  He is used when something happens, and dismissed when nothing happens. Now he is called "Quan", and in another life he is called "temporary worker". No matter which life he is, he is the best person to shoulder the responsibility.  This Yang Shenming is also unkind. Ye Chang cursed a few times in his heart, but as he was cursing secretly in his heart, Yang Shenming said again: "This is not your ambition. I have known it for a long time. Quan Lu has joined the army.  It's just for your convenience. Luoyang is different from Chang'an, but there is one thing that is the same. Even the dignitaries in the land have no names, and even the subordinate officials can't be driven." "Even with the addition of a power to record things.  I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to do it,¡± Ye Chang said with a bitter smile.  "I said, I will give you whatever you want." Ye Chang thought about it for a while, and then said: "I stayed at Dafuxian Temple for one day, but it was not without gain. With my intention, the first step is to answer  The disaster victims outside the city were moved from the north of the city to the east of the city, between Jianchunmen and Luoshui. I saw that there were several open spaces. The autumn harvest has been completed and has not been planted. Wooden houses have been built here to prepare for the cold winter. "But these open spaces are  It's private land.  "It doesn't matter. By the spring of next year at most, these victims will be resettled, either returning to their hometowns to rebuild, or working in Luoyang city."  When it comes to the wooden houses on the ground in time and space, they belong to these private landowners.  The wood used in the wooden houses can be brought from Luoshui for easy transportation" "To resettle the victims, the first thing is to have a place to stay. Although Ye Chang did not go to the north of the city to see the residences of the victims in person, he had already inquired about the victims yesterday.  The residence was just a shack, which could not even protect him from the wind and rain, let alone keep him warm. He talked about his ideas one by one, and Yang Shenming nodded repeatedly. After giving the general outline, Ye Chang added: "This is easier said than done.  , how to do it specifically, I have to visit the victims in person before I can say In short, it is nothing more than work-for-relief.  " "This is the key. Relief for work requires money and food after all. Where can someone get a lot of money and food?  Yang Shenming sighed and said: "Where does the money and food come from? If there is money and food, why bother Ye Langjun?"  "Ye Chang couldn't help complaining: "Just now you said you would give me whatever you wanted." "Except money and food." "You really have the style of being a brother." Ye Chang muttered secretly in his heart. Yang Shenming's identity is extraordinary.  Strictly speaking, he is the great-great-grandson of the former Sui clan and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. His father, Yang Chongli, was responsible for the treasury and silk fabrics of the Taifu Shaoqing, but his brother Yang Shenjin followed his father's tradition and was good at managing money.  Li Longji took a fancy to him. The support he received from Yang Shenming was mainly verbal. In addition, some officers were assigned to the Ye Chang tribe. Ye Chang decided to go to the north of the city to see the victims, so he left.  Go, he turned his back, and a person came out from behind the screen. "Do you believe this guy?"  " "That's all it can do now. Doesn't brother believe him?  "Yang Shenming handed over to the visitor. Ye Chang never thought that the person hiding behind the screen was Yang Shenming's elder brother Yang Shenjin. Among the three brothers of the Yang family, Yang Shenjin was the most famous, with keen eyesight and good at managing money. Therefore,  He was appointed as Taifu Shaoqing by Li Longji, succeeding their father. "This son has made great achievements in renovating the city in Chang'an West City. The cement issue has also provided a big source of wealth to Jingzhao Mansion and others." Yang Shenjin, the elder brother.  He raised his eyebrows and said, "It's a pity that Han Chaozong and others are paying close attention. Even the Taifu can't reach out to my dear brother. If you invite him here this time, you must make good friends with him.  His financial strategy can be used by me." After a pause, Yang Shenjin said again: "Prime Minister Li intends to worship me as Yushi Zhongcheng again.  "Although the Taifu Shaoqing is a noble official, in the imperial court, after all, he is just a financial minister.This is not the case for Shi Zhongcheng. If he goes further, he may become the prime minister.  Therefore, when Yang Shenjin said this, his voice could not help but tremble.  Yang Shenming immediately understood what he meant.  For the Yang brothers, this step is crucial. If they can take it, they can be prime ministers.  But if they can't take a step forward, their family will be nothing more than this.  Li Longji had previously intended to appoint Yang Shenjin as Yushi Zhongcheng in recognition of his efforts to increase revenue and reduce expenditure to support his squandering over the years. However, Yang Shenjin was afraid of Li Linfu and declined the appointment.  Then, Yang Shenjin began to befriend Li Linfu, especially through his cousin Wang. Li Linfu was very satisfied with his knowledge and interest, so he intended to appoint him as the censor Zhongcheng.  But intention and action are two different things. If he wants to get real support from Li Linfu, Yang Shenjin must take action.  However, Yang Shen¡¯s famous memorial "Post-Disaster Emergency Questions and Answers" was not taken seriously by Li Longji, which allowed Yang Shenjin to see an excellent opportunity.  "My foolish brother still doesn't know why my elder brother places his hope on Ye Shiyi." "My dear brother is not in the capital. I don't know the current rumors in the capital. They say that Wei Jian, the transfer envoy, may pay homage to the prime minister." Yang Shenjin said tactfully  said.  "Wei Jian?" Yang Shenming immediately understood the cause and effect.  Wei Jian was able to win the respect of Li Longji because of water transportation. To put it bluntly, he was able to send money and food to Emperor Sanlang.  If Yang Shenming can do well in Luoyang and prove that the Yang family is not inferior to Wei Jian in sending money and food, he will naturally be appreciated by Li Longji.  Although he did not directly conflict with Li Shizhi, Wei Jian, etc., he indirectly helped Li Linfu. Li Linfu also hoped for the support of those with good financial plans.  Perhaps it was for this reason that when the disaster information from Luoyang was sent to Chang'an, there was almost no movement from the center.  Therefore, Luoyang City's seemingly small resettlement work for the victims actually affects the whole body, and is related to the balance of the growth and decline of the two central forces in the Tang Dynasty.  "Moreover, Ye Chang has always been close to Han Chaozong and others." Yang Shenjin smiled again at this time: "The strange thing is that Han Chaozong has never recommended Ye Shiyi as an official, and mostly looks for him to provide temporary advice."  It¡¯s funny, Han Chaozong was also famous for his ability to know people and recommend them. First, Li Taibai and then Ye Shiyi missed him. When Li Bai wanted to become an official, he wrote a letter to Han Chaozong, who was famous for knowing people and recommending them.  It was the later famous article "Book of Jingzhou with Han", but Han Chaozong probably thought that this person was exaggerating and did not recommend him. Yang Shenjin used this incident to laugh at Han Chaozong behind his back, but he did not know the truth about Han Chaozong.  The intention is that Ye Chang is close to Han Chaozong, and Han Chaozong is close to Li Shizhi. Therefore, being able to draw Ye Chang to work for him also reduces the power of Li Linfu's political opponents. How can he achieve this with one stone?  "But now let's see whether this Ye Shiyilang lives up to his reputation, or whether he has real talent and learning.  "Yang Shenming realized the true meaning of this move and sighed. "Ye Chang has some real talent and practical knowledge. Yang Shenming is waiting to see, and the victims outside the city are also waiting to see. These victims come from several counties around Luoyang.  When Ye Chang arrived, it happened to be the time for the morning porridge to be served. These ragged victims all shrank their heads and looked at the dozens of large pots in the porridge shed. "Everyone, take a look.  "A servant yelled, then grabbed a long chopstick and inserted it into the porridge pot. I saw the long chopsticks crooked in the porridge pot. Although it was a little slanted, it did not fall down. This proves that there is a lot of porridge rice.  There was little water, and the victims let out a slight sigh: Today's meal was enough to satisfy them. The porridge was distributed in an orderly manner, without any competition - Ye Chang repeatedly emphasized in "Questions on Post-Disaster Emergency Strategies".  , The most important thing in post-disaster rescue is order. Yang Shenming, who has read this article, naturally attaches great importance to it. In addition, he can be regarded as a capable official. Therefore, the situation Ye Chang saw is relatively optimistic.
