Chapter 29 Post-Disaster Reconstruction

As the so-called "separation of military and government," in order to prevent local officials from becoming self-reliant, county officials must not get involved in military power.

The Jiangnan camp is the hub of military power in the southern Zhili, and in addition to the capital commander, there are deputy capital commanders and staff generals who are responsible for the military mobilization of the southern states.

Because the magistrates did not have troops, they could not resist the flood with a few catchers. Therefore, the Jiangnan battalion ordered Wei Yan and two colleagues to divide into three routes to prevent floods and control water.

"It's okay in the peaceful years, every time the flood rises, we generals will be unlucky!" Wei Yan sighed in his heart, if something really happened, they, the generals in charge of flood control and disaster relief, would definitely not be able to escape. If there is really another civil violence, the demotion will be light, and it will be a move of the head and the destruction of the house.

"Moreover, there are still people here who take the opportunity to embezzle, if something really happens, I will die." Wei Yan thought of the secret fold that he had secretly read to Huang Yuan not long ago, and his heart was restless.

If you want to provide disaster relief, you have to open a warehouse to release grain, but at this time, it was revealed that there was no rice in the granary in Huizhou, which involved fraud in the entire Huizhou official system. Even in the Jiangnan camp, there were people who secretly warned Wei Yan not to do much.

But can Wei Yan not care?

"If you really open your eyes and close your eyes, then the people's hearts will be in turmoil, and those people above will be fine, but I, the general, will do it!" Wei Yan played a secret twist and left himself out, whether he was found out in the future or not, it had nothing to do with him.

Therefore, the sage in the Daming Palace asked the Seven Princes to go down to the south of the Yangtze River in person. It's just that he was assassinated on the road, fell into the river and was rescued by Wei Qian.

This is also the number of days, Wei Yan attracted the Seven Princes with a twist and turn, and then was rescued by Wei Qian.

When Wei Qian and others slaughtered the dragon, the Seven Princes also came to Huizhou with Jia Yu.

Wei Yan invited Jia Yu and the Seventh Prince to enter the barracks, immediately reported the situation, and handed over the information collected in his hand to the Seventh Prince: "Everything is here, please take a look at it." ”

Wei Yan is a saint and a relative of Jia Yu, Situ Yun treats him kindly, but Wei Yan ignores Situ Yun's kindness, cautiously puts aside the involvement, and clasps his fists: "His Royal Highness the saint ordered to come to investigate this matter thoroughly, if there is a need for manpower, the last general will not dare to disobey." However, at present, flood prevention and disaster relief is the first priority, and we ask for forgiveness and will retire first. After saying that, he withdrew from the camp and quickly sent people to strengthen the embankment to prevent another flood.

"Oh no, my lord! The embankment on the other side of the Falling Eagle Valley has broken again! ”

Wei Yan's face sank: "Come on, prepare the horse." "Leave Situ Yun directly and take people there in person.

"How dire is the situation here?" Inside the camp, Situ Yun was surprised when he heard the movement outside.

Jia Yu was also stunned, and hesitated: "It seems that this flood in Huizhou is very severe, and if the rescue is not done properly, several surrounding places will also suffer." ”

Do you want to say this? Situ Yun rolled his eyes, but he knew Jia Yu's idea skills very well, and knew that he was not the material for official administration, so he looked through the information left by Wei Yan.

"This Wei Yan is pragmatic, but he is indeed a talent, but it's a pity that these generals are loyal to their father, and I can't get involved." Situ Yun has been in Daming Palace for more than ten years, and he just came out to open the mansion the year before last, and as the last prince to leave the palace, he is very aware of the taboo of the saint.

On the same day, the promotion and transfer of the Jiangnan battalion, although the saint did not say anything. But later, he found a few generals who secretly beat the crown prince and the five princes, and cut off a few officials in their hands from the other side.

"Military generals can't get involved, at least not openly." Situ Yun originally had the intention of being a carefree prince, and he was about to leave Jia Yu's flattery. But now that he has been assassinated, Situ Yun has truly woken up. As a person of the heavenly family, if you can't sit in the highest position, you will be held in the future sooner or later. Brothers, after all, they are no better than father and son! Not to mention that there are times when father and son turn against each other.

Squinting at the information Wei Yan had gathered, he had a case in his heart.

And Wei Yan led people to Luoying Valley to check the situation, not only did he have several officials from the Ministry of Industry. It is the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry to build flood control levees, and at the first time, people from the Ministry of Engineering came down to check the situation and try to re-plug or divert the floodwater.

"How's it going?"

One of the officials surnamed Zhao touched his forehead in a cold sweat and said, "I have ordered someone to block it just now, but this time the tide is really weird, according to our measurements yesterday, there should be no flood here." It skyrocketed for no reason, and immediately broke the embankment. ”

Several officials of the Ministry of Industry smiled bitterly, if something happened to this embankment, according to the suspicion of the saints today, they should wonder if they were cutting corners.

Wei Yan didn't know what to say, so he only ordered people to strengthen the embankment.

Boom -

In the distance, a yellow light rose into the sky, and the water that had been falling swelled again. The gap that had just been plugged was reopened, and the water rushed downstream, and the personal soldiers of the shore guard quickly protected a group of officials.

"My lord, go ahead and retreat."

Wei Yan hesitated, and was about to speak, when the local assassin Shi hurriedly ran over: "No, if something happens here in Luoying Valley, those farmlands downstream will definitely be flooded." If there is no food this year, then the displaced people will riotβ€”"

Thinking of the empty granary, Wei Yan's heart was crossed: "You can't retreat, you must block this embankment." Spread sandbags, build bridges, no matter what, you have to block it. ”

……

"It's my father!" Wei Qian hurried over, and when she saw Wei Yan not far away, her face was shocked, and she hurriedly covered her face with mist again. Holding the dragon ball in his hand, the black dragon submerged into the flood and smoothed the turbulent tide.

"So my father was really involved?" At the same time as Wei Qian cast the spell, he looked around.

At the Valley of the Falling Eagles, I saw a group of people joining forces to seal the demon dragon. It was they who leaked the demon dragon's attack into the water and caused the dam on this side of the Falling Eagle Valley to have an accident.

"The leylines are deep in the earth, the water veins are endless, with the help of the origin of the dragon beast and the water veins, the demon dragon attacks are transferred to the river with the water veins, no wonder there is a big flood here, dare to be these monks making trouble?" Xuanyun threw down the green lotus, and the green lotus of one acre in size bloomed one after another, densely covering the water surface to block the flood.

"Emperor Huangtian, Tongyuan Sect!" Wei Qian was angry, along the way, the three sisters saw many people displaced by the flood, as well as many corpses floating on the water.

These are all the evil consequences of the people of Tongyuan Sect for their own selfish desires.

"Wait." Seeing that Wei Qian wanted to make a move, Xuan Yun hurriedly stopped her: "There are many of them, we can't beat them." "Looking at it, there are no less than fifty people from the Tongyuan Sect.

"Isn't it just four immortals?" Xuan Yun was eager to try, and Xuan Yun smiled bitterly: "Although there are three people on our side, where do we dare to expose our true identities?" Besides, where does the little junior sister have combat experience? If you really fight, you will inevitably lose. ”

Xuan Yun was dumbfounded, at this time, the action of the Tongyuan Sect had also been completed, and an emperor in the Falling Eagle Valley captured the demon dragon, and the golden cage trapped the black dragon, and gradually shrunk and was taken away by Wei Shengnu.

"Tongyuan Sect Leader captures the demon dragon, do you really have the heart to sacrifice to the heavens and seal the Zen and fight for hegemony in the dynasty?" Xuan Yun muttered in her heart, and kept moving in her hands, saving the fallen mortals ashore one by one, beware of the last wave of floods.

The demon dragon in the Falling Eagle Valley was captured, and suddenly the last force in the valley caused a landslide. The earth rumbled, the ground cracked, and the rocks collapsed. Xuanyun didn't care about killing, and joined hands with his sisters to do their best to suppress the destruction.

And in the east, a bell rang through the heavens and the earth, and only monks could reach it. With the naked eye, I can see that the mudslides in the deep mountains quietly disappear with the sound of the bells.

The wisps of Buddha light shine in the west, and the shaking of the earth disappears.

In the south, a sword qi slashed straight at the Tongyuan Sect, and he died when he touched it!

For a while, the Tongyuan Sect members suffered heavy casualties, and the faces of the three gods at the head were shocked: "It's not good, it's the two families of Buddhism and Taoism who have made a move!" Hurry back! ”

Dispersed like birds and beasts, Xuan Yun couldn't see this Tongyuan Sect, changed his clothes, used his sword light to pick up leaks, and killed several Tongyuan Sect members after the five-color sword light just now.

"Little girl, your swordsmanship is good!" When Xuanyun was killing, there was a burst of laughter in his ears, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he looked to the south with instinct.

On a hill a hundred miles to the south, a handsome man stood with a sword.

The facial features are sharp and angular, and the sword intent in the starry eyes is full of intent, just now it was he who broke through the formation of the Tongyuan Sect with one sword, and destroyed their morale in one fell swoop.

Glancing at Xuan Yun, the man laughed heroically: "Fellow Daoists, do you expect to see if you can't do it?" Baiyun Dao Chief, Xiaoming Zen Master, your old rival of Buddhism and Taoism, Tongyuan Sect, is coming back, and you don't express it. ”

"Humph! What's the hurry! The battle for the dragon has not yet begun, and it is still two to say whether this Tongyuan Sect can win. Brother Dongfang Dao, take care of yourself. In the sky, the clouds turned into cranes, and the indifferent voice replied, and then turned into a Tai Chi robe Taoist with a fairy wind, holding a golden bell and looking to the west: "Old Zen master, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, we will accompany the Wangwu faction!" ”

The light of the Buddha in the West was retracted, and he turned into a kind old Zen master, and saluted. After that, the floods in the world subsided and disappeared again.

Baiyun Dao Chang sneered a few times, he was born in the Wangwu Sect, and he was the current first sect of the Xuanmen Immortal Dao, and he spoke lightly, and he didn't care about the reincarnation of the legendary holy monk: "There are eight holy monks born in the Buddhist Gate now, but I also have the Ten Directions Immortal in the Xuanmen." Even if Buddhism wants to come to assist the Ming Lord again, it is not a mess now, and there is no figure like Tang Taizong for them to support, I want to see how they do it to the present dynasty. ”

Peers are enemies, and throughout the history of the rise and fall of dynasties, we can clearly see the struggle between the two families of Buddhism and Taoism. Several times the Buddha was destroyed, and Taoism was behind it.

Nowadays, there are many Taoist heirs who are officials in the Dragon Court, and they will not let Buddhism rise again.

Daoist Baiyun glanced at the swordsman on the mountain peak: "Brother Dongfang Dao, don't forget that you are also from the Xuanmen. This Buddha Gate...... Hehe...... "Before he finished speaking, Dongfang Wen swept the long sword, and the Taoist priest turned into a white cloud and disappeared.

"Being born in a Xuanmen does not mean that I agree with you." Dongfang Wen carried the giant sword and thought secretly: "But this time the Buddha Dao made a move, and the Tongyuan Sect reappeared, and now there is no Lishan old mother born to support the Huaxia Dragon Vein, if they really let them succeed, it will be the world that will suffer at that time."

The transcendent people take heaven and earth as the chess game, Kyushu as the vertical and horizontal, and control the artifact of Sheji. How innocent are the people of the world? Why do you have to be a pawn in your hand? Now that the game of seizing the dragon is about to begin, why don't I also enter the world and go through it, assist a master, join forces to cut the dragon veins between heaven and earth, force everyone to fly away, cut off the possibility of monks controlling the dynasty, and return the people of the world to freedom? ”

The man had a thought, and the sword was volleyed into the air, and he disappeared into the red dust, and disappeared without a trace.

These three people are all Dao Immortals, Wei Qian and the others didn't know the actions of the three of them, and they breathed a sigh of relief after helping to suppress the flood.

"In this way, the flooding in Huizhou will be calmed down, and we can go back to the mountains." Xuan Yun sensed Dongfang Wen's sword intent from afar, and seemed to have a feeling. In addition, after slaying the dragon, I have made great progress, and I have the heart to go back to retreat.

"I'm still going to help hang the pot for medical treatment in Huizhou, you can take your junior sister back." Xuan Yun thought about it and decided to stay by herself.

When Wei Qian heard this, he hurriedly said: "My father is here to take care of flood control, I'm afraid there will be some obstacles, and I will ask my senior sister to take care of it at that time." Still not at ease, he found a pen and paper from someone on the shore and wrote a letter to Wei Yan.

The letter did not reveal any names, but only said some things about the aftermath of flood control in the style of a literati.

Wei Qian knew that Wei Yan was careless, and was worried that he would not handle it properly, so he emphasized two points, one life and one death.

For the living, there are countless displaced people after the flood, and the displaced people need to be properly resettled. A simple camp tent was set up, guarded by officers and soldiers, and there was a portion of three meals a day. The camp is always attended by a physician and must be quarantined immediately if there are signs of the plague. Do not drink the river water at will. Even the source of well water must be purified with medicine before boiling and drinking.

If the grain in the granary is not enough, it can be purchased from the major rice merchants at a reasonable price.

No matter how big or small, Wei Qian wrote more than a dozen about the resettlement of displaced people in the back.

"Displaced people are also laborers, and if they rebuild after the disaster, they can exchange food and money in the name of the imperial court for the help of displaced people to rebuild the embankment and home."

After writing two pieces of paper, he talked about the placement of the deceased.

"The weather is hot, it is inevitable that the water is poisonous, and it is necessary to speed up the action to salvage the floating corpse, if someone claims it, if no one claims it, leave a token after three days to burn the corpse and store it in the altar jar, and bury it in the name of the government to appease people's hearts."

"In the world, public opinion is the most important, only the general should think carefully."

After writing it, Wei Qian checked it, and asked Xuan Yun to visit Wei Yan, while she and Xuan Yun returned to Nanshan Doumu Temple.
