Bao Zheng and Wen Yanbo had a little chat about disaster relief, and Bao Zheng couldn't help it.

"Kuanfu has something to say, just say it. I still have something to deal with here."

Bao Zheng said.

Wen Yanbo couldn't help but smile.

"Brother Xiren, others say that you don't understand human nature, so you don't understand human nature. You are obviously very smart."

Bao Zheng smiled and said, "If I hadn't put on a cold face, there were too many people asking for help, so I wouldn't bother to pay attention to them."

Wen Yanbo nodded, withdrew the smile on his face, and said seriously: "Brother Xiren, I'm here today. I just want to ask you, what kind of person is Ouyang Bian?"

Bao Zheng showed a contemplative look on his face, and he carefully said, "It's probably... a person who speaks about interests but acts of Bodhisattva."

Wen Yanbo was shocked: "I hope to hear the details."

Bao Zheng's expression was a little weird: "At first, I heard that Ouyang Bian was because of that song of water, and later I wanted to see him because Wang Anshi gave him a book, oh, that is the theory of the rich country.

After reading the Theory of Rich Country, I was inexplicably shocked. It was hard to imagine that some people in the Song Dynasty had such an understanding of the economy and so in-depth, which could be called a specialized science.

Later I met him. At that time, he was much younger than now. After all, he was still an eight-year-old child. However, he was generous and fearless in the face of me.

You know me, let alone a child, even an adult, I feel so cold that I feel, but he is calm. I knew at that time that this child is not a thing in the pool.

As expected, after talking, his intelligence and insight were indeed extraordinary.”

Bao Zheng suddenly laughed.

"...Do you know, why did he come to see me?"

Wen Yanbo said curiously: "What's the matter?"

Bao Zheng smiled: "Do you know Chengyuan?"

Wen Yanbo said: "Of course I know that the canteen of the Beijing officials is. Now anyone who wants to treat them is not allowed to go to Chengyuan."

Bao Zheng smiled and said, "Chengyuan belongs to this boy. Chengyuan had just opened at that time, and I was still in the group maid department. That boy targeted the end-of-year banquet of the group maid department and specifically asked Wang Jiefu to come to the door for contact. Hahaha, it is hard for you to imagine that Wang Jiefu would do such a thing, right?"

Wen Yanbo widened his eyes: "Wang Anshi would do such a thing?"

Bao Zheng nodded affirmatively: "Yes, he has come, and he has done it. You know, I have always hated such requests, but the person coming was Wang Jiefu. I was surprised and curious, so I took the opportunity to ask Ouyang Bian, and then Ouyang Bian came.

This kid is determined to win the tail teeth banquet of the Qunmusi, so when I saw him, I made a request, and wrote a poem with the plum blossom in the yard. At that time, he only circled around..."

Wen Yanbo interjected, "The wind and rain send spring back, and the flying snow welcomes spring. It is already a cliff with ice, and there are still beautiful flowers and branches. The beautiful ones don't compete for spring, but only report spring. When the mountains and flowers are blooming, she smiles in the bushes?"

Bao Zheng praised: "It's this song, it's hard to imagine that he just circled around the plum tree and made it. His agility in his mind is simply unheard of!"

"Then what you said about the full benefit, what is the Bodhisattva's heart?"

Wen Yanbo asked.

"He proposed the issue of the Huimin River dredging. Of course, his statement was that he wanted to develop West Lake City. However, you see West Lake City, and he didn't need the Huimin River to be cleaned before construction started.

What he adopted was to raise the foundation as a whole, which had nothing to do with whether Huimin River was cleared or not. In fact, he just wanted to help the people of Bianjing.

In fact, he didn't have to be so anxious about the second phase of Xihu City. Wang Qinian told me, oh, Wang Qinian's friend is a kid from Xihu City, and Xihu City is in charge.

Wang Qinian said that West Lake City does not need to open so urgently, and it takes risks to open in a hurry. Phase II does not need to be so urgent, because the first phase project has not been fully developed, so anxious is taking greater risks."

Wen Yanbo said: "What he said today is all about business, and there is no sentence about disaster relief..."

Bao Zheng shook his head and said, "It is difficult for the shareholders to avoid large-scale disaster relief in person to avoid the court's fear. Merchants are profit-oriented. Xihu City is not his own. He cannot say that it is for disaster relief. He must use his interests to convince other shareholders, so..."

Wen Yanbo sighed, "I have good intentions!"

Bao Zheng nodded and smiled, "But if you think he is too underestimated by this, you have to understand Ouyang Bian's theory of rich country."

Wen Yanbo said: "What is this saying?"

Bao Zheng said: "He once discussed with me that after Shang Yang's reforms, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce became the national policy of all dynasties. This dynasty attached importance to commerce, but to some extent, it still focused on the foundation of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce.

Ouyang Bian believes that business is very important. No farming is not stable, no business is not rich, and this principle is explained thoroughly.

This time Ouyang Bian insisted on persuadeing shareholders to quickly carry out the second phase project. If we think he is just for disaster relief, we would underestimate him too much."

Wen Yanbo's eyes stagnated: "There is still a deep meaning?"

Bao Zheng nodded seriously: "From my understanding of him, I'm afraid this is really the case."

Wen Yanbo said: "I hope to hear the details."

Bao Zheng said: "After a major disaster, there will be great disasters, plagues, civil unrest, or starving thousands of miles away. But the key is that the economy after the major disaster is severely damaged, and the victims cannot live, so they will naturally starve to death. Those who want to survive must rob. If they have a little way to survive, they will not take risks."

Wen Yanbo woke up and said, "What do you mean is that he is going to eliminate this hidden danger, so he will first develop the second phase?"

Bao Zheng nodded: "If it were someone else, I wouldn't think so, but if it were him, I'm sure he thought so. I have known him for more than two years, and I have never stopped his letters. I will tell the truth that he has shown, and I will check him far away!"

Wen Yanbo was shocked when he heard this, "Brother Xiren, don't tease me!"

It's not his fault for being shocked.

Although Bao Zheng was late in politics, he went from the place to the center, from the center to the place. I don’t know how many places he went through, and his knowledge was not less than that of himself. Now Bao Zheng actually thinks that his knowledge is not as good as a child who is only ten years old...

Bao Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's hard to imagine, right? I didn't believe it at first, but I got used to it after a long time. His insights sometimes seem to be like taking a different approach and not following the right path of the saint. However, after deep thinking and analysis, most of them are the right path.

In the view of many things, strange ideas emerge one after another. At first, I felt absurd, and when I thought deeply, I felt it was taken for granted!”
