New Story of Lv Bu

When Ma Rixi returned home, he sat in the quiet room sulking. He was the grandson of the great Confucian Ma Rong of the dynasty, the leader of the Qingliu of the dynasty, and belonged to the big brothers who were born with a golden key. Unexpectedly, today he was severely scolded by Da Sima Lubu pointing his nose. These words were so deafening that they pointed to the current malpractice, and the scolding made Ma Rixi a cold sweat, but he woke him up from the scolding.

Although Ma Taichang is a bit stubborn and pedantic, he is a grandson of Ma Rong after all. Seeing that Xian Siqi has always been the family motto of the Ma family, wherever you fall, you must get up wherever you go. Since you Lu Feng first said that I can’t do big things and don’t want to do small things, then I just want to do something big. I'll show you something!

Needless to say, this big thing is how to save hundreds of thousands of people in Liangzhou through the famine. The scholars’ accumulated habits naturally believe that the book has its own golden house, the book has its own Yan Ruyu, and the book has its own policy of governing the country. Matthew often closed his eyes and recalled the book he had read about how to help the people and survive the famine. .

He has a strong point, that is, he never forgets, thinking and memorizing, there are a dozen countermeasures. Putting down the pen and thinking about it again, I swiped out the impossible one by one, and there were five or six items left. From a closer look, I felt that these five or six rules were fully implemented and could be implemented, so I became smug in my heart. Humph, Lu Fengxian, tomorrow at the court, I will read these five or six articles one by one, but I want to see if your complexion has turned into a pig liver color!

Just as he was secretly proud, the people in the quiet room were suddenly pushed away, and a man walked in with a smile on his face. "Uncle Weng, you are hiding here and working hard. Could it be that you have learned the lessons of Da Sima and want to find a way to solve the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people in Liangzhou? People, Ma Rixi hurriedly got up and saluted respectfully. "I have seen my uncle! Don't come here unharmed? Hurry up, please sit down! Come and watch tea!"

Why Ma Rixiong is so respectful to this person? It has a long history, so I need to elaborate on it. The name of the visitor is Zhao Qi, whose name is Yu Qing. A native of Changling County, Jingzhao, he was a famous Confucian and painter in his own dynasty. The first name was Jia, and the word was Taiqing, but later changed his name due to refuge. Zhao Qi married Ma Zongjiang, the daughter of Ma Rong's elder brother Ma Dun. Ma Rixi was the grandson of Ma Rong, so he called Zhao Qi his uncle.

Zhao Qi had studied Confucian classics in depth when he was young, and he was very versatile, so he was able to marry the niece of the famous scholar Ma Rong. Ma Rong was the grandson of the famous founder of the dynasty Ma Yuan. Ma Yuan’s daughter was the empress of Liu Zhuang, the Ming emperor of the dynasty. He was named Mingde, and Ma Rong was an out-and-out relative. But Zhao Qi despised the status of Ma Rong's cousin and refused to meet him.

Zhao Qi once served in the prefecture and county, and he was scared because of his integrity and hatred.

In his thirties, Zhao Qi became seriously ill and was in bed for seven years. He admitted that he would die, so he said to his elder brother: "A big man was born in the world and lived in seclusion without the integrity of Jizi, and he did not have the merits of Yi Yin and Lu Wang when he was an official. God does not give me a chance, I have nothing to say! You can set up a round stone in front of my tomb and engrave it: "There is a secluded man in Han, whose surname is Zhao Mingjia. When I have ambitions but have no chance, this is my destiny. Way!'" Maybe the thief couldn't pass it, Zhao Qi miraculously recovered.

In the second year of Yongxing, Zhao Qi was planted as a subordinate by the secretary of the house, and when he was appointed, he proposed that officials with more than two thousand stones can mourn for his parents. Hundreds of good filial piety is the first, and loyal ministers must be at the door of filial sons. The court naturally accepted this suggestion. Later, General Liang Ji Bingzheng, once again conquered Zhao Qi. Zhao Qi offered Liang Ji a method of choosing and seeking talents, but Liang Ji did not adopt it, but appointed him as Pi's county magistrate. Pishi County is well-known for its complication. The complication refers to the plethora of government affairs, which is difficult to handle.

Liang Ji’s motives cannot be verified. Perhaps it was a joke that was not big or small to the talented Zhao. Don’t you think you are as big as the sea? Then find a difficult place to try your skills first! After Zhao Qi took office, he was really unbearable. A young man who worked in the cultural department of the central government took a job in the local area. Everything he encountered would surely subvert his perception of officialdom.

It coincided with the resignation of Liu You, the prefect of Hedong, and was succeeded by Zuo Sheng, the elder brother of Zhong Chang Zuo Qin. Zhao Qi had always hated eunuchs, so he abandoned his post and returned to Luoyang on the same day. This result can be imagined with your toes. Since you are not used to being a magistrate in the field, you can trust everyone to be transferred back to the capital. The post of Gong Cao is a low-level official who handles specific affairs, a class of three hundred stones. From then on, Zhao Qi began his career as a local official.

Just as Zhao Qi's life was about to get on track, a catastrophe fell from the sky. At the beginning, Tang Xuan, the elder brother of Zhong Chang Tang Heng, served as the captain of Jingzhao Huya. Tang Xuan misbehaved, and Qingliu all looked down on him. As a benchmark figure of Qingliu, Zhao Qi and his cousin Zhao Xi repeatedly criticized him in public. Liang Zi has since formed a relationship, and Tang Xuan hated the talented Zhao Zhao.

In the first year of Yanxi, Tang Xuan was appointed as Jing Zhaoyin. This is a very bad signal. Zhao Qi is a wise man, naturally aware that the danger is approaching step by step. So Zhao Qi took his cousin Zhao Jian and escaped. As expected by Zhao Qi, Tang Xuan arrested his family and relatives and framed and killed them all.

Zhao Qi has taken refuge in various places and has been to many places. Later, he kept his name incognito and sold cakes for a living in Beihai. After seeing Zhao Qi, Sun Song from Anqiu felt that he was unusual, so he asked Zhao Qi: "I don’t think you are like a cake buyer. If you ask you, your face has changed. If you don’t have a deep hatred with others, then A fugitive. I’m Sun Binshi from Beihai. There are more than a hundred people in my family. Maybe I can help you.” Zhao Qi told the truth, and Sun Song took him home, hosted a banquet, and hid him in the folder. In the wall for several years, Zhao Qi has not spent the past few years in vain. Zhao Qi wrote "Etun Ge" with a total of 32 chapters.

Later, Tang Xuan and his family all died, and Zhao Qi was pardoned before he was able to see the sun again. After the three houses (Taiwei, Situ, Sikong) knew, they confiscated him at the same time. In the 9th year of Yanxi, Zhao Qi accepted Situ Hu Guang's conquest. When the Southern Huns, Wuhuan, and Xianbei were disturbing the borders, the public recommended Zhao Qi, so he worshipped Zhao Qi as the governor of the state. After Zhao Qi took office, he wanted to play the strategy of guarding the side, but he hadn't played it yet. He was dismissed because of the first party's misfortune, so Zhao Qi put it together into "The Theory of Yu Kou". In the first year of Emperor Ling's succession, Zhao Qi was imprisoned for more than ten years because of the second party's misfortune.

In the 7th year of Guanghe, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, and the emperor ordered to choose the former governor and the two thousand stone officials in Chinese Wu Shuangquan, so he conquered Zhao Qi as Yilang. In the second year of Zhongping, General Zhang Wenxi conquered Guanzhong and asked Zhao Qi to fill the post of General Shi and stationed in Anding County. General He Jin also recommended Zhao Qi to be the prefect of Dunhuang. He was captured by the anti-thief Bianzhang and others while passing through Xiangwu County. Bianzhang wanted to intimidate Zhao Qi as their commander. In Chen Cang, when he encountered a rebellion, he could only rescue himself naked, hiding in the grass for twelve days without eating, and after hardships he returned to Chang'an.

In the first year of Chuping, Dong Zhuo moved west to Xiandi to Chang'an, and then worshiped Zhao Qi as Yilang, and soon he became Tai servant. Zhao Qi wrote fourteen volumes of "Mengzi Zhangju" and seven volumes of "Sanfu Juelu", which were widely circulated at that time. He had a deep research on "Mencius" and was famous for his great Confucianism. Zhao Qi is good at painting and once drew the four sages in his tomb.

Zhao Qi has been wandering throughout his life, and has gone through all kinds of hardships, and his old scholar's accumulated habits have also been wiped out with one of him. Today, Zhao Qi is nearly sixty years old. He is well-rounded, well-versed, well-versed, and wise to protect himself, and he will never be strong anymore. The two disasters of the party in this dynasty have caused a large number of Qingliu to experience the vicissitudes of life and linger with the people for decades. Therefore, they can experience the difficulties of the people's livelihood. This group of people is called the doer of the Qingliu, and Zhao Qi is one of the representatives.

Zhao Qi and Ma Rixi are close relatives, and they often communicate with each other. Coupled with the experience of others, the triumphant expression on Ma Taichang's face is beyond words. How can Zhao Qi fail to tell. "Uncle Weng, you must have something in your heart, so don't let go of speaking frankly! The old man is also good to put a check, after all, the old man has been hiding in the people for decades, and the people's suffering is much clearer than you."

"My uncle is right!" Ma Rixi said with his hand, "How to ensure that hundreds of thousands of people in Liangzhou will not starve to death, I have a few suggestions. First, restore the entire territory as soon as possible and cultivate immediately. Second, And the state army will distribute grain or borrow money. Third, set up a porridge factory to help the victims. Fourth, call on the civil and military officials to donate food??????"

"Hahahaha!" Before Ma Rixi finished speaking, Zhao Qi smiled and bent over, laughing so much that Ma Taichang was at a loss, and it took him a while to stop laughing. "Uncle Weng, let's break one by one! The first one, it's now in May. It's too late to grow wheat. At most, you can only grow beans for one season. Can you be full with beans? If you want to restore Liangzhou The whole territory, at least one or two months, by then it will be too late to plant anything! Therefore, this one is not feasible! If it is near Chang'an City, it will be fine."

"Article two, if you want to distribute food, hundreds of thousands of people, if you don't want to starve to death, you will get five stones for one person (one stone is about 20 kilograms in the Han Dynasty). How much food do you want? Not to mention whether there is Da Sima, Yes, it’s you. Would you like to distribute it free of charge? Let’s talk about borrowing. The interest rate of this dynasty is the lightest three cents a month. Can the people afford it? Even if they can afford it, what will they pay back? What is the difference between selling a girl and starving to death with the whole family?"

"The third article is to open a porridge factory to provide relief to the victims. This article is indeed feasible, but it just won’t starve to death, or it can’t solve the fundamental problem. The fourth article is even more pedantic! You can call on the civil and military officials to do it. Donate money and materials? Make your dream of Spring and Autumn! If they have this mindset, can Changan City still be able to fight for millions of dollars?"

When he heard this, Ma Taichang's eyes dimmed immediately. He was silent for a while before he said in frustration, "Uncle, according to your wishes, these few items are not feasible? Alas! Useless is a scholar. Do you just watch hundreds of thousands of Liangzhou people starve to death?" "How is it possible?" Zhao Qi waved his hand: "What a hero is Da Sima? He must have a way!"
