Chapter 438 Su Dongpo (Lu Yi Version) 3

Because the emperor valued Su Shi, he was allowed to continue staying in Bianliang.

Now the reform of literary style has been accomplished. Previously, Meizhou suffered from a severe drought and the people were displaced. Su Shi saw these things and wanted to do some practical things in the local area. He took the initiative to ask for a transfer and was appointed as the judge of Fengxiang Prefecture.

Their son Su Mai is about to reach the age of enlightenment, so he stays to accompany his parents and be taught by his father.

The property I bought in Bianjing was not sold this time. I will definitely come back in the future, and my son will also take the imperial examination in Bianjing when he grows up.

Before they left, Wang Anshi had already left Bian Jing.

Wang Anshi had previously submitted a ten-thousand-word letter to the emperor, proposing reforms and implementing new policies. The emperor finally agreed and sent Wang Anshi to Yinzhou. The reform clauses were implemented in Yinzhou to test their effectiveness.

Su Shi now supported Wang Anshi's reforms, and the two were close friends regardless of age. When Wang Anshi left, Su Shi went to see him off.

Chang Ran and Su Shi rushed to Fengxiang. Chang Ran only brought a puppet with him. His cousin stayed in Bian Jing and did not follow them.

The puppets who were managing the shops outside went to Fengxiang in advance to buy a farm and a shop. On the surface, Chang Ran usually did not contact the puppets outside, which was also considered his own hidden power.

When they were resting on the road at night, they encountered a group of robbers. Su Shi recognized them as the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.

Knowing that Chao Gu was coming, the puppet did not make a move. After Chao Gu defeated those people, Su Shi did not allow them to be killed and let them go.

In 1061, the Western Xia invaded the northwestern border of the Song Dynasty. In the battle against the Western Xia, the generals were incompetent in leading the troops, resulting in defeat, and the deserters robbed along the way. The few people just now were in this situation.

Along the way, there were many uncultivated fields, and most of the men there had gone to the army. They also encountered many refugees.

I saw an old man lying on the ground. After asking him, I found out that he was hungry. The Xixia people were burning, killing and looting. They fled from the border and were going to Fengxiang. Su Shi ordered the puppet to bring food and water to the old man.

Finally, they arrived at Fengxiang and saw many refugees outside the city gate. There were officials standing on the city wall, ordering that the city gate should not be opened.

The person who gave the order was Zhang Xu, a classmate of Su Shi. After seeing Su Shi, he only allowed his family to enter the city and refused to open the city gates to let the refugees in, fearing that the new governor would blame him after taking office.

Su Shi said that the prefect blamed him and he took the responsibility, and finally opened the city gate.

After meeting Zhang Xu, Su Shi said that he would let the refugees stay in the government office tonight to avoid the cold, and make arrangements tomorrow morning. Although some people objected, Su Shi insisted.

Afterwards, he took a few people to the government office to resettle the refugees.

Chang Ran followed the soldiers who led the way and went back to his residence to settle down. When he arrived at his residence, he did not bother to clean up. He first ordered the puppet to make more porridge for the refugees. Then he made some cold-dispelling soup and brought it over.

The next day, in order to accommodate the refugees, Su Shi prepared to borrow grain from the government warehouse privately, which was a capital crime.

Following Su Shi, I had to live in fear every day. Fortunately, I knew the plot in advance.

The puppet bought a manor before and recruited some refugees to work, providing food and accommodation. This can be regarded as helping to solve some problems.

There are sweet potatoes here now, and Changran arranged to plant them in the farm.

Su Shi looked at the increasing number of refugees and felt helpless and a little discouraged. While relaxing outside the city, he found an abandoned military camp.

So he thought of settling the refugees here. But this was considered as building a village privately, which was also a capital crime. But Su Shi still insisted.

There were large tracts of land in Fengxiang that were left uncultivated, but the refugees had nothing to do. Su Shi decided to let the farmers rent their land to the refugees for cultivation, which was a win-win situation for both sides.

However, the people did not trust the government or the refugees, and were afraid that their land would be seized, so they were very resistant.
