Chapter 57 Water Control Strategies for Controlling Water Towns

He said softly: "Lord Wang, the elders of all the ethnic groups outside saw that the water in Dingjinzhou and the plain had receded this morning, and they all wanted to see you to thank you, and their subordinates told them that the prince was still resting, and asked them to come back later, and these elders were afraid that you would wake up later, and they would leave directly, but they would not leave."

The subordinates thought, the elders of these tribes in Dingjin Prefecture don't want to see us on weekdays, and now we should give them a dismissal, but the subordinates don't dare to make decisions on their own, so I still come in and ask what you mean. ”

Finally, Lan Wan and Lan Zechen were woken up by Wei Su's humming, and they got up tiredly and raised their eyelids, "Let them wait, this king will go to see them after washing." ”

"Yes."

When it was time to eat, Lan Wan and the others finally appeared in front of everyone outside the hut in full clothes.

It's just that, strictly speaking, everyone only sees Lan Wan's face, and Lan Zechen, the king of tranquility beside her, came out with the veil and hat sent in by Wei Su because of the redness and swelling on her face and the rash that did not completely subside.

Although this seems to be more mysterious and high-profile, this does not affect the enthusiasm of these elders of all ethnic groups in Dingjin Prefecture at this moment.

When the people saw that the king of peace, whom they had been waiting for an hour, came out, they all knelt down and prostrated to him.

"The grass people and others see the prince, the prince Jin'an!"

"Oh, see the prince, thank you for curing the floods here!"

"Yes! Thank you so much! ”

……

A white-haired and long-haired elder raised his head and said: "The prince has been coming to my Dingjinzhou for several days to personally control the water, never sleeping, giving advice, and yesterday it was in one day, together with the plain under Qingtang City, a large area of water that has only increased for more than a month has been dredged and subsided.

The prince has been doing his best for the disaster of the people of Jinzhou, such great kindness, grass people, etc. must be remembered, thank you Wangye, the prince is a thousand years old! ”

"Thank you for your great grace, Prince Anning Chitose Chitose!"

……

Lan Zechen looked at the rugged mountain roads in front of him, kneeling up and down so many people, his eyes were a little at a loss, and he seemed to feel their gratitude in his heart...... I was a little ashamed, and then I cleared my throat,

"Patriarchs, villagers, please get up, the control of the flood in Dingjin Prefecture is not only the top of your heart, but also the same for this king, this time to be able to successfully eliminate the stagnant water here, it is not the credit of this king alone.

Not only the Zhenshui Qincha sent by the emperor, the princess of this king participated, but also these soldiers brought by this king, everyone was eager to hope that the flood here could be subsided as soon as possible, so they worked together to achieve some results.

However, although there is no stagnant water here, it is estimated that it will not be able to work normally for a long time, and please rest assured that the king still promises to provide food to all the people here, including the land of Yunshu, but ......"

"But maybe the prince has a heart, but he may not be powerful......"

Just when Lan Zechen didn't say the second half of this sentence, a voice suddenly interjected.

"This king is also a member of the team that participated in solving the flood yesterday! Prince Anning praised all his people, but he just ignored the exploits of this king and the Tang City Lord, which is really chilling!

Didn't the princess say yesterday that she would receive rations from the people in the area of Yumen Pass?

Today, you promised the people of your fiefdom rations, even if Yunshu has been protected by Fang Qinglan's army left and right, and the situation is relatively peaceful, but do you really have the ability to raise rations to feed the people of the two fiefdoms? ”

Xiahou Chen's cynicism made Lan Zechen instantly uncomfortable, and the patriarchs and people around him were also in a fog, what?

How is this possible?

Crowd A: "May I ask this lord, who are you?" ”

Crowd B: "Ah! He also calls himself the king, that must be the Jiayu prince of our capital! ”

The patriarch of the masses, Ding: "Then if it is the words of the prince of Jiayu, there is no need to believe his words, if our king of peace can't take care of the food and clothing of his own people, how can he save the people in his fiefdom?" ”

Crowd A: "That's it! Don't listen to Lord Jiayu's words, he is distorting the facts! Don't take his word for it! Our Prince An Ning will not give him such a promise! ”

"Huh!"

Xiahou Chen laughed wickedly,

"Really? Is this king distorting the facts, your prince was unwell yesterday because of the water treatment, and he was unwilling to answer...... You can ask your Zhenshui Qincha, the princess.

Princess Anning, what this king said is the truth? ”

After speaking, he looked at Lan Wan with evil eyebrows, with an arrogant face that was bound to win.

……

Everyone's eyes also looked expectantly at the tall, guard-like person beside the prince with a veil and hat,

Oh! It turns out that this somewhat androgynous, handsome and beautiful woman is their princess!

Seeing this, Lan Wan chuckled and spoke

"Folks in Dingjin Prefecture, what the Jade Lord said is half-true and half-true, don't believe it all, what the princess promised is not in conflict with what the prince promised, and listen to me explain a little.

Maybe it's too remote here, you don't know the identity of this princess, but it doesn't matter, you will know in the future, now you just need to know that this princess is also the Zhenshui Qincha sent by the imperial court to control the water this time, and the first female official in my capital.

Therefore, in order to keep this official position, and in order to balance the contradictions and disputes between the prince of my family and the prince of the jade, this princess did promise that as long as the cause of this flood is investigated and determined to be not man-made, and has nothing to do with the Qingtang City Lord and Jiayu Prince, then as the helper of this flood control, this princess promises:

I will never stand by and watch the people of the Jade Prince's fiefdom starve as a thank you, but as for how to help? How can I help? The decision-making power is here with the princess, and in the end, it is not our prince who makes the decision, but His Majesty the Emperor.

Moreover, the city lord of Qingtang promised that he would report to the imperial court, and this large plain behind would be taken care of by the princess, and with all the cultivated land area of Yunshu here, it would barely be able to provide food and clothing for the people of the two places within a year in the future.

But now, this year's land may not be able to be cultivated, and if we don't want the people in any part of my capital to starve, we must be a little patient and humble.

The prince will still send people to bring food, but it may not be much, and it may not satisfy everyone, so please make it clear when you go back and put an end to waste and complain.

And as for the vegetables, you need to be self-sufficient, try your best to hunt in the mountains and forests must avoid those animals that are feeding offspring, or are pregnant, to avoid overhunting, leading to extinction, trees should not be cut down excessively, and the specific amount we will go back to, there will be someone in charge of these things.

But you can grow vegetables, and if you start planting vegetables somewhere in the mountains and forests now, you can grow a lot, and if you can't eat it, you can dry it and leave it for the winter to satisfy your hunger, or you can keep enough food for yourself and have a surplus, which can be sold to the people who are responsible for us who come to buy it.

Please rest assured, with our prince in one day, every person in Yunshu will not starve to death, and with my Lan Wan as an official in the court for one day, I will never watch any part of the people in my capital start to burn, kill and loot because of the problem of food and clothing, and do many evils.

The court will try its best to provide food and clothing for every citizen, but if there are any people with bad conduct who call this evil, once discovered, they will not be tolerated, from the hundreds of officials of the court to the pawns of peddlers, they will all be killed! ”

Lan Wan's clear voice said words that not only reassured the panicked people, but also uneasy the people with ghosts, and her eyes ......

With a deep meaning, he looked at Xiahou Chen not far away......

Xiahou Chen also looked at her, but didn't say anything more, Qingtang City Lord Tang Ning also returned to his usual demeanor as an official at this time, standing aside respectfully, without saying a word.

The people at the bottom of the mountain shouted again: "Thank you, Lord and Princess!" Thank you, all the soldiers! Thank you, two adults! Thank you, all the soldiers! ”

……

An old patriarch with white hair and long hair below took a few steps forward and knelt down again.

"Thank you for the promise of the princess and the prince, and for telling you frankly, we must remember the great kindness of all of you.

The old man is not talented, and he is willing to lead the villagers of all ethnic groups in Dingjin Prefecture to open up the wasteland and plant vegetables to help maintain order. ”

Lan Wan looked at Lan Zechen, yes, he didn't want to speak, so she could only ask herself: "Then there is Mr. Lao, I don't know what to call Mr. Lao?" ”

"Back to the princess, the old man is the patriarch of Teng Snake, named Bai Qi, relying on his age, the villagers will listen to what he says."

Lan Wan: "Then there is Mr. Lao, later our people will simply pack up their things and leave here, and there are not many things left, please distribute them to the villagers." ”

Elder Bai Da: "Oh! Good, good, Princess Xie trusts. ”

"The old gentleman is serious." She turned around and said to Wei Su, "You guys repair it first, and the prince and I have breakfast, and we'll set off." ”

"Yes!"

……

When the two of them returned to the small hut, sat at the table, and gobbled up something to eat, there was a person who Lan Zechen hated very much, and that was Xia Houchen.

"OMG! It's incredible! I didn't expect that the rumors were ethereal, and the King of Anning, who was clean and far-reaching, also had a time like today!

Oh! This rash on the face is really scary......

Lan Wan, this king has never admired anyone in his life, you are the first in line, he is like this, can you still eat with him at the same table?

Can you still eat so delicious? Gee! Gee!

Awesome! Are you afraid that he will infect you with rashes? At that time, it will really be a husband and wife! ”

At that time, it will really be the same "shape" of husband and wife! ”

Seeing that Lan Wan didn't care about that at all and continued to eat, Xiahou Chen turned his head to look at Lan Zechen, whose movements had slowed down significantly: "Did you say?" King of Tranquility?

At that time, it may be the Toad Lord leading the Toad Princess, right? Ha ha! ”

As soon as the words fell, the chopsticks in Lan Zechen's hand were broken, and they turned into four darts and attacked Xiahou Chen......

However, what about the four darts of the dignified Jiayu King Xiahou Chen?

The person easily caught the four broken chopsticks, "Huh? Is this the King of Tranquility angry? This amount of energy shouldn't be your Lan Zechen's style!

Now the chopsticks are broken, this king wants to see what you are eating with, do you use your hands to catch it?

Hey, you said that your voice is not good now, and now, you don't even have a spoon for a meal, and the only pair of chopsticks left in your hand is given to this king, oops, how do you say this is good? Could it be that Lord Anning, you want to go on a diet today? ”

Xia Houchen's gloating face at the moment, not to mention that Lan Zechen couldn't bear it, even Lan Wan couldn't stand it, "Smack!" "Slap the table,

"Lord Yu, you are enough, obviously you said that his physique is different from ordinary people, and the disease he has is called allergies.

I have a good constitution and can go to the sea to catch fish, and besides, his disease is not smallpox that can be contagious, and it is a fart!

You're slapping yourself in the face, the preface doesn't match the afterword, it's okay to find trouble!

I don't think you can cure at all, and in that case, I don't owe you any favors. ”

"Alas, alas, alas! Don't!
