Once the disaster was revealed to the emperor, the emperor had many channels to prove the disaster.

After the disaster was confirmed, the matter became complicated.

In the emperor's view, a severe drought began not long after the new law was implemented. This was obviously a warning from God. In addition, officials from various places were impeached, saying that the green crops law in the new law had left people hungry and displaced. The combination of multiple factors Under this situation, the emperor will naturally waver in the new law.

At this time, although Wang Wenchuan, played by Chu Ge, has become a powerful minister with great power, he has not yet grown up enough to compete with the emperor.

And those old party ministers who have not been able to deal with it thoroughly will also take this golden opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the new law.

Only when the Green Seedling Law is successfully implemented in another three to five years, and the entire imperial bureaucracy builds a powerful system rooted in the new law from top to bottom, can Wang Wenchuan, played by Chu Ge, truly grow up to completely hide the emperor's secrets, or communicate with the emperor.

The point of challenging.

"Then, the most urgent task at this time is how to overcome the natural disaster.

"It can only be said that the most difficult thing to deal with in history is not inevitability, but some kind of contingency..."

Historically, this natural disaster became a key factor in the interruption of Wang Wenchuan's reform.

Speaking of which, this is actually quite unfair.

A few years after the new law was implemented, a severe drought swept across the country. This severe drought created a large number of refugees and gave the old party an excuse to attack the new law. The emperor was worried about this every day, feeling that God was against it.

A warning issued due to the new law.

And Zhang Renxia’s picture of refugees became the straw that broke the camel’s back.

He even swore at the time that the severe drought in the world was all due to Wang Wenchuan's new law. As long as the emperor canceled the new law, it would rain within ten days.

According to historical records compiled by Wen Junshi, after the emperor canceled the new law, it rained within ten days.

The old parties also took this as irrefutable evidence that the new law has brought disaster to the country and the people, causing anger and resentment.

Wang Wenchuan's response was very tough at first: We are not afraid of changes in nature!

In other words, neither landslides nor severe droughts can scare him or stop him from implementing new laws.

After he was dismissed as prime minister, he felt a lot more helpless: Could it be that the severe drought in the world and the rise of refugees were all because of the Green Seedlings Law? Wouldn't it be possible that without the Green Seedlings Law, there would be no severe drought and refugees?

But at that time, his helpless rebuttal did not have any effect.

As for Chu Ge, of course he is still on Wang Wenchuan's side this time.

Because from the perspective of modern materialism, if it doesn't rain and whether the ground is dry, what does it have to do with the reform? This is just a purely natural phenomenon.

What's more, now that Chu Ge is playing the role of Wang Wenchuan, if he wants to spend the country and strengthen his troops, he must withstand the natural disaster. Otherwise, once he is dismissed as prime minister, the new law will be abolished, which means all previous efforts will be wasted.

Chu Ge calmed down a little and began to look for solutions in historical materials.

The first thing he thought of was to start with Zhang Renxia.

This little character that the player had played before was originally a mentor and friend to Wang Wenchuan, but at such a critical moment, he stood on his opposite side and became the trigger for his dismissal.

In history, Zhang Renxia has been praised for hundreds of years as a "little man who cares about the country and the people" because of this upper class incident.

In relevant historical materials, Zhang Renxia's changes are actually very clear.

He did respect Wang Wenchuan at first, but after he went to the local government, he saw more and more shortcomings of the new law, so he quickly changed his mind and began to oppose the new law.

It seems a bit biased to say that he belongs to the old party. After all, he has not been deeply involved in party disputes, but his existence has indeed caused huge obstacles to the new law.

“With a long sword and a glass of wine, a man’s heart is narrow.”

This is the description of Zhang Renxia in the copy, which summarizes him as a "xia".

If Zhang Renxia's deeds ended here in the Refugee Picture, then some people might think that he was a capricious villain. But in fact, after Wang Wenchuan was dismissed as prime minister, some officials made trouble for Wang Wenchuan, and Zhang Renxia also spoke up. If

It was not the emperor who saved him, but he almost lost his life.

From this point of view, Zhang Renxia at least practices his own morality in his heart and uses the word "xia" throughout.

Chu Ge's initial idea was to either use Wang Wenchuan's identity to find a reason to send Zhang Renxia to Lingnan, and then arrange for someone to intercept all his memorials.

As long as Zhang Renxia was not in the capital and could not be listed on the refugee map, perhaps things would not have developed to this point.

But soon, Chu Ge gave up this idea.

Because he knew that Zhang Renxia's behavior was actually inevitable. In other words, Zhang Renxia was actually just a pawn of the old party. Even if Zhang Renxia had no upper class plot, the old party headed by Wen Junshi would not let him go.

Given the opportunity, they will always try their best to use natural disasters to attack Wang Wenchuan's new method.

Bullying the superiors and concealing the truth may be an option, and covering the mouths of most people so that they cannot complain to the emperor is also an option, but these methods are too easy to overturn.

There is also something to be said for lying to others. Small things are easy to conceal, but for something as big as a natural disaster, the longer it is concealed, the more tragic it will be when it overturns.

Therefore, we still need to find ways to solve this problem from the root cause.

"The difficulty of this matter is that natural disasters and new laws were closely related in the eyes of people at the time.

“The severe drought happened to happen just after the new law was implemented.

"The Battle of Niuzhu will start in ten years. I must race against time and not waste a second. Therefore, I cannot let the old party govern the country first and then implement the new law when a severe drought occurs and people are angry. In that case,

There simply isn't enough time.

"So, I'm going to take advantage of this heavy rain.

"Zheng Xia may have been prepared to die when he wrote the letter, but he didn't expect that it actually rained after a severe drought for several months. In the eyes of people at the time, it was his spirit that moved God, but in fact

Yes, this is obviously a coincidence...

"It's just that this coincidence gave the new law a fatal blow.

"What if I could take advantage of this heavy rain? What if I could find a way to get the gods to be on my side?"

Chu Ge gradually sketched out a plan in his mind.

But before he had time to implement it, the fog in front of him had filled the air again, and today's game time was coming to an end.

Chu Ge felt a little regretful, but then he thought about it. He had taken a big step in the story line of the character Wang Wenchuan tonight. Especially since the line of powerful ministers had been taken, the difficulty of slicing the entire history had also suddenly dropped, which doubled his confidence.

…

At this time, other players also woke up from their sleep.

The official forum of "Dark Sand" was quickly flooded with discussions from players.

"Damn! The second stage of this copy is too difficult!"

"Yes, both lines feel like they are at MAX difficulty."

"Actually, it can't be said that it is particularly difficult. A more accurate term would be that it is frustrating! Compared with the copy of Sheng Taizu, it is too frustrating!"

"Yes, the key is because Yu Jiaxuan and Wang Wenchuan are both courtiers. No matter how ambitious they are, if the emperor does not support them, it will be in vain!"

The players on the forum can be said to be full of complaints.

Some players have further smoothed out the detailed clearance method of the "I Want to Say It Yet" dungeon.

As many players have predicted before, the ultimate goal of this copy is to win the Battle of Niuzhu and defeat the enhanced version of Jinbing without the key figure Zhao Binfu.

But before, the players were still vague about how to do it. They could only roughly guess that Yu Jiaxuan would take on the role of leading the army.

But now as the players progress, it all becomes gradually clearer.

Yu Jiaxuan and Wang Wenchuan can be regarded as two lines, one literary and one military.

Yu Jiaxuan represents Wu. Although he is a scholar, his fighting ability is incredible and he is also extremely talented in military affairs.

Currently, the player who has made the fastest progress in playing the Yu Jiaxuan line is Zhao Haiping. According to his strategy, the Yu Jiaxuan line has at least three stages.

The first stage is to rob the camp, the second stage is to suppress the bandits, and the third stage is to train troops.

Players have already mastered the two solutions to hijacking camps, but the second stage of suppressing bandits has stumped many people.

The difficulty lies not in being able to defeat them, but in not being able to catch these tea bandits!

Every time he led officers and soldiers to suppress bandits on a large scale, these tea bandits could always get the news in advance and escape.

Players are like punching cotton with no power at all.

After Zhao Haiping failed twice, he carefully analyzed the current situation of suppressing bandits and finally thought of a way.

That is to carefully select five hundred dead soldiers from the official army and rush forward!

As a result, he was really rushed down.

The reason for this must start with the fact that the tea bandits were able to avoid being encircled and suppressed by the army every time.

The tea bandits have the support of the people nearby, so as long as the government and the army gather in large numbers, there will always be people who report the news. The tea bandits crush the government and the army in obtaining information, so naturally they can escape every time.

Therefore, Zhao Haiping deliberately stayed in the city for a few more days, allowing the officers and soldiers to practice and rest in the city, creating an illusion for the tea bandits.

During the training, Zhao Haiping secretly selected five hundred elite soldiers and secretly went up the mountain when no one was paying attention.

Of course, in this case, the number of officers and soldiers would not be dominant at all.

There are thousands of tea bandits, and the mere 500 people led by Zhao Haiping are at an absolute disadvantage.

But after two attempts, Zhao Haiping discovered that these tea bandits were actually just a mob. Facing the extremely powerful Yu Jiaxuan and the officers and soldiers who seemed to have descended from the sky, these tea bandits quickly lost morale and fled in all directions.

Zhao Haiping found the right opportunity to kill several of the leaders, and the banditry was naturally put down.

Immediately afterwards, he entered the third stage of the Yu Jiaxuan line.
