Wei and Jin cooks

Fu Zhi was an upright man, and believed that his children and grandchildren would be blessed by themselves, so he never used power for personal gain for his children and grandchildren. On the contrary, he always used private power for the public good.

He forced his eldest son to be his consort, and then forced him to become an official and work for the Jin Dynasty. As a result, the relationship between the couple was not harmonious. The couple had grievances against each other, but they vented their anger on the young Fu Changrong.

Therefore, Fu Zhi felt most guilty towards Fu Tinghan, and most of all towards Fu Xuan. Thinking from this, he indulged most of his remaining three sons and gave them the greatest freedom.

He did not force them to become officials, nor did he require them to save the country. He just hoped that they would live.

Therefore, the father and son only communicated occasionally and wished each other safe.

But in these troubled times, transportation is cut off and information transmission is difficult. It has been more than three years since they lost contact between father and son.

The last time he received a letter from his father was on the New Year's Day from the first to the second year of Yongjia. His father complained to him that the winter in Luoyang was getting colder and colder, the price of food was getting higher and higher, and people in Luoyang City had begun to have money. With no food available, King Donghai was powerless to stop the situation.

He was very afraid that Luoyang would become the second Chang'an. Chang'an had a food shortage for a long time that could not be solved. He wrote to Fu Chang and told Fu Chang that if the king of Donghai and the emperor broke up in the end, Luoyang might be turbulent again, and the Huns in the north were also ready to move. If A big war breaks out and I hope he and Erlang Sanlang can survive.

If you are lucky enough to meet the third and fourth children who are studying abroad, I hope Fu Chang can help his two younger brothers.

"Your eldest brother has been dragged down by me. He is the prince-in-law of the Jin Dynasty and has his own responsibilities. He can't help you anymore."

Fu Chang knew that the burden on his eldest brother's shoulders was forced upon him by his father, and there had been many quarrels between father and son. The eldest brother had been trapped in Chang'an and could not escape. Not to mention helping them, whether he could survive or not was a question. .

He had always followed his father's instructions and tried his best to protect himself and his two sons during the war, but he never expected that he would not even see his father's last face.

Fu Chang suppressed his grief and used the farm tools sent by Chuck to harvest the rice with the villagers first, so as to appease the people before mentioning going out of the mountain.

After a period of calmness and thinking, the villagers were convinced. The heads of each of the thirty-nine households sat on the open space in front of Fu Chang's house. Villagers who were not heads of households also came to join in the fun, and formed a circle. Hands listen to their meeting sitting in the middle.

Looking at the young faces around him, an old man sighed and said: "The county gentleman is right. Even for the sake of future generations, we cannot live in the mountains."

If there was still war outside, they would definitely not go out, but the outside was now peaceful, and there was little point in staying in the mountain col.

But... looking at the rice fields that had just been harvested not far away, the old people still felt reluctant to give up.

He couldn't help but said: "Otherwise, how about letting the children go out and us staying in the mountains? It would be a pity to abandon the cultivated fields like this."

The most important thing is that the soil in this col is really fertile, and it is easy to irrigate and water. I don’t want to leave it.

Fu Yong said: "There are many ferocious beasts in the mountains. If the young and the strong leave, leaving only the old and the weak here, how can we resist the wild beasts?"

The reason why they can survive in the mountains is not always lucky. They live near the water source and see many ferocious beasts. But they can always live in peace because they have enough young people.

Beasts have instincts and know what to mess with and what not to mess with.

Once the young and strong in the village leave, the old and weak left behind will become food for wild beasts.

Fu Chang showed strength for the second time. If he wanted to leave, then everyone would leave.

Looking across a pair of anxious, fearful but expectant eyes, Fu Chang suppressed the urge to fly back to Luoyang immediately and decided to make arrangements for them before leaving.

So, Fu Chang asked them to start packing their luggage, and he took Fu Yong and two officials out to meet with Chuck to discuss how to arrange the people in the mountain col.

After living together for more than three years, everyone has become familiar with each other and developed the habit of helping each other, so Fu Chang hopes that they can live in the same village.

To move out of the mountain col, they needed to build a new house. The land for cultivation was newly allocated. Fortunately, it had been cultivated before, but it had been abandoned for many years and weeds had grown. Although it was laborious to reclaim it, it also meant that the soil was very good. He I hope we can choose a land near water to build a house for them, so that drinking water and irrigation are convenient.

But he didn't expect that when he arrived in Liang County, the first person he saw was not Chuck, but Shen Ruhui.

Shen Ruhui received news that a hermit who was rumored to be able to control floods appeared in the mountains. He was the son of Fu Zhi, and he was needed to test his knowledge of flood control to confirm his identity.

Shen Ruhui immediately rushed back from the Yellow River, but the person left again. He could only wait in Liang County for a long time.

He hurried over as soon as Fu Chang appeared. When they met, he couldn't help but smile, "County Magistrate Zhang is afraid that you are fake. Now it's better. It really can't be real anymore."

Fu Chang was also surprised, "It turns out Dr. Shen is my little friend."

Shen Ruhui and Gao Gao met Fu Chang. They were very different in age and had only met twice, but they were deeply impressed. They had good memories, so they still remembered each other.

Shen Ruhui is the same as before and has not changed much, while Fu Chang has aged a lot.

Shen Ruhui breathed a sigh of relief and said to Fu Chang: "I wish it was you. The Yellow River is seriously blocked, and dredging requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Some dangerous dam mouths have collapsed due to disrepair. Fortunately, in the past two years, the Yellow River There was little rain in the basin, so no major disasters were caused. I only patrolled for a while, and I just calculated the money and food needed in my mind. Then my eyes darkened. There are not many officials in the court who can control floods, and you have Fu Gongzhen's true biography. I don't know. Is there a good way?"

Fu Chang was stunned. He didn't expect to be asked about water control as soon as they met. He paused and then said: "I have never seen the Yellow River, so I can't reply to you. I came out this time to arrange for the people in the mountains and then return to Luoyang for the funeral."

Shen Ruhui remembered that Fu Zhi had just passed away not long ago, and said hurriedly: "This is as it should be. We are still in the period of filial piety. I heard that Fu Shangshu and his consort built a house in the mountains to observe filial piety. You should be able to catch up when you go back now."

Liang County is not far from Luoyang. It can be reached in two days by horseback or only a few days on foot. It is precisely because of its proximity that Fu Chang needs a lot of willpower to suppress his eagerness to return home.

Shen Ruhui asked: "How do you want to resettle those people in the mountains?"

Fu Chang was serious, so everything was easy to say. Chuck agreed to all his requests and generously asked him to personally choose a piece of land outside the city for them to live and build a village.

When it comes to finding water sources and cutting off Feng Shui, few people can compare to Fu Chang. After all, who knows how to control water, who doesn’t know about Feng Shui and land?

Shen Ruhui was more familiar with the area and immediately gave him some suggestions and took him to see three places. Fu Chang was very satisfied and chose one of them. It was in a wilderness with a river flowing through it, with a radius of ten miles. There are four water bubbles and two creeks inside.

This place is a bit far from the county seat. The nearest village is fifteen miles away. The land is currently ownerless wasteland. However, the place he chose is very close to the official road.

Fu Chang thought that as long as there was stability, in ten years this area would be lively and prosperous, and many large villages would be spawned, and the village they were in would be selected as Daji because of its geographical location;

And if they are not stable, they can escape at any time while living here. If they want, they can also enter the mountains more quickly and go to the mountain depressions to avoid the disaster of war again.

Here, not far from the entrance where they entered the mountain col.

Fu Chang has considered everything for them, and Chuck also promised them that he would not collect taxes from them this year, and would send people to help them build houses. With the supplies brought from the mountains, their lives would be better than most civilians outside. Better off.
