Chapter Seventy-Seven: Duty
"Du Gong, farewell!" Yuwentai gave another salute and drifted away, leaving a full field of Yongxian wealthy families, all thoughtful.
Du Jian stroked his long beard and said to himself: "If this Yuwen envoy is not acting, he is really the same as he is inside, but he is a rare talent in the world." ”
When he returned to the Assassin's Mansion, Wang Xiong felt embarrassed and asked Yuwentai for his guilt. Yu Wentai didn't think it was angry, but laughed and said, "Hu Butou, cheer up, there is an errand waiting for you to do here!" ”
It turned out that Yuwentai had already made up his mind, and immediately sent troops to suppress the mountain bandits in Qizhou, so as to plunder money and grain to feed his army, and even make the thieves abandon the bandits and return to the farm, enriching the population of the state.
Qizhou is mountainous, there are thousands of mountains in the north, the west is Mangmang Longshan, and then to the south, the Qinling Mountains are thousands of miles longitudinal and horizontal. Although most of Guanzhong is peaceful, it is only a preliminary decision, and there are many thieves who gather in the mountains.
Wang Xiong was overjoyed, cheered up his spirits, and led the troops away. There are not many soldiers and horses in Qizhou, but it is the elite of a hundred battles in the Western Expeditionary Army. It didn't take long for the good news to spread frequently, and a truckload of money and grain was pulled to the state, and the soldiers and horses in the state were rich in grain and grass.
Xu is Yuwentai's name spread, and later Wang Xiong's soldiers did not arrive, and the thieves burned the cottage one after another, and took the initiative to surrender.
Yu Wentai personally went out to meet them one by one, and even ordered: "Those who abandon bandits and return to agriculture will be exempted from paying for one year." The thieves cried and worshiped on the spot, and they all said: "I met Yuwen Envoy early, how can my generation be chaotic!" ”
For a time, the bandits in Qizhou were empty, and the population was obviously full. The people were able to live and work in peace and contentment, and they were no longer in the precarious state of previous years.
。。。。。。
On the ground in Qizhou, everything seems to be developing in the direction of prosperity... But how can things in the world be so simple?
Since the beginning of summer, there has been a severe drought in Kansai for months, and Qizhou is in it. Especially near Yongxian County, the disaster was the hardest, so that the grass and trees did not grow, and the canal water dried up. By August, ordinary people were struggling to get water.
In fact, inside and outside Yongxian County, there are not no deep wells, all of which spring all year round, although they are inexhaustible when there is a drought. But these deep wells belong to the county's big clans, and at this moment, they are naturally used for their own food first, and there are many fields that are in urgent need of irrigation. . . The big guys are all in the same mind: they are all neighbors and fellow villagers, and it doesn't mean that my family is unwilling to help, but my family's ability is limited after all. If others don't move, how can I come out first?
Wang Xiongwei spoke up again: "If you refuse to borrow grain, then that's it." But right now, it's almost thirsty... Envoy! Don't indulge these great clans anymore! ”
Yu Wentai shook his head, still refusing to.
Wang Xiong was anxious, but Yuwentai was not in a hurry, and ordered all the assassins to be dispatched, and mobilized the soldiers in the state to dig wells in and out of the city. After digging the well water, he ordered the officials of the county Mercury Terrace (equivalent to the fire department of the present world) to be responsible for holding the water, and also hired a car to transport it to the city car dealership and sent it to the neighboring towns. . .
On the boundary of Yongxian County, everyone is preaching.
"Today outside the city, I saw a cart full of water stuck in a pit, and five or six scribes in green shirts rolled up their sleeves and rushed up to push it. The literati are really weak, and they can't push it out for a long time. But he waited so stiffly, even if his hands and feet trembled, he refused to stop! ”
"I said Wang Erlang, you have seen it from the sidelines, why don't you go up and help? All that water is used on the heads of our little people. ”
"How did you not help? You know my family's San Lang, the legs were lame by thieves two years ago, and now they all went up to push together, and pushed the big car out of the pit in the blink of an eye, haha! ”
"They're all from the Assassin's Mansion, right? I've seen it too. They're all good people. ”
"The people of the Assassin's Mansion, can there be anything bad about that? I won't hide it from you, but the day before yesterday, I said goodbye to the king... Yes, don't drive, the king said a few words. ”
"What's that? My uncle, because he helped the state soldiers dig a well in Nancheng, Yuwen made Jun write the word 'benevolence' in front of the big guy and gave it to him. ”
"Tsk, that's amazing!"
"Amazing! It's amazing! ”
Inside and outside Yongxian, it is in full swing. But after all, the weather was too dry, and there were not many deep wells that could produce water. The water source is not enough, even Yuwentai has no good way.
I don't want the good news to come suddenly today, Du Jian, the old man, actually changed his temperament and took the initiative to offer the well in the clan, and even drove the wealthy family in a county, isn't it very exciting?
Yu Wentai smiled lightly, his expression diluted. Looking at his appearance, it seems that he had expected it?
Wang Xiong's heart moved, took a step forward, and arched his hand heavily: "Fang is now in Qizhou, the people are at ease, the officials use their lives, and the wealthy family also breaks the king's heart." Such a good situation, Wang Xiong saw it in his eyes and was overjoyed! ”
Yu Wentai burst out laughing: "Hu Butou, it's a pity that you don't go to the book to speak." ”
Wang Xiong laughed, still unfinished: "People say that I Wang Xiong is the most stupid, don't be too guarded and don't drive." How do he wait, Hugh said that don't drive is not inferior to Taishou, even if he doesn't have an official position, but he can follow Yuwen Envoy's side, haha, it's worth it! ”
