Yang Fan said However, it is enough to prove that there is a way for the heavens, and Hong Chengchou's eyes immediately lit up. As long as there are two words, there is room for this matter to turn around, and this person should have a way.

So he was full of hope and asked in a soothing tone: "What kind of plan can the general not do?" ”

Named a general by a big official, Yang Fan was not sincerely afraid, but replied with a more respectful expression: "Haining has the Shangtang River and the Changshan River, the two rivers diverge in the north of Haining, one along the east and the other along the west around the city to flow into the Qiantang River, if we meet in the north to build a dam to store water, in the case of a large army of pirates, we dig a dam to release water, not only to resist the pirates, but also to flood." ”

The county order immediately retorted: "This law is too vicious and must not be implemented." ”

Yang Fan turned his head to the county order and said: "Don't worry, the county lord doesn't have to worry, the terrain of our generation is flat, the river and the ground of our county are not much higher, and the water stored will not be too much, but it will pass for a while." Now we are paddy fields and are not afraid of water, and the surrounding people have already entered the county seat for refuge, but the water has overflowed, and it has passed for a while. ”

"It's just the wilderness, but this county-"

"The county town doesn't have to worry, as long as the four city gates are blocked and tamped with white plaster in advance, there will be absolutely no water."

At this time, the young man in cloth who didn't speak explained lightly: "This is not like a flood that rains in the sky, and the water will not be withdrawn if the weather is not clear." The momentum of this big water is just a matter of three hours at most, and the county lord doesn't have to worry about it. ”

Hong Chengchou was a little disappointed: "Three hours, what can be done?" ”

The young man looked at Yang Fan, and Yang Fan said again: "Three hours is enough, although the water has receded, and the adults don't know, as long as the flood occurs, the silt left behind will not dry for a few days, plus the outside of the city are fertile paddy fields, filled with water, if they want to attack us again, they have absolutely no way." ”

Hong Chengchou clapped his hand: "This method is wonderful and feasible." ”

The cloth-clothed young man also praised: "General Yang's method is wonderful, not only can he save the people in the current city and inside, but he can also take advantage of this flood to block this road and make it difficult for pirates to travel west." If it were transported by ship alone, it would take countless hours for tens of thousands of troops to board ships here. When these pirates advance by ship in batches, it will be absolutely difficult to reach the city of Hangzhou in less than half a month. When the time comes, we will not be able to use the army pirates at all, and we will be completely victorious. ”

"It is not necessary to win completely, but at least it can kill them hugely, so that the pressure on Hangzhou can be reduced."

Then he said to Yang Fan: "Your strategy has won the first opportunity for the battle of Hangzhou, and you should be rewarded." Then he said to the county order, "That fool's deputy Qianhu will be transferred to General Yang." But just look at the expression of Yang Fan, who didn't think so, the so-called deputy Qianhu also sounded good, and there was no actual income at all, so he said again: "Guixian borrowed one hundred taels of silver from the official to reward this general." ”

The prefectural magistrate is also happy, in this way, although some villages will be lost outside the city, the area of the water flow is not large, as long as the population is not lost, the prefectural ordinance is still in name only. At that moment, he happily ran into the inner hall, and after a while, he took out two packages and personally handed them to Yang Fan's hands: "The big one is a reward from Lord Hong for one hundred taels, and the small one is fifty taels, which is the county's thanks." ”

This was definitely an unexpected joy, and Yang Fan knelt down to thank him at that time.

A few people in this lobby perfected the whole plan one by one, and at this time, other officials also arrived one after another. As a result, Hong Chengchou announced the new plan.

Of course, everyone was happy not to die, so the county order sent Hong Chengchou away, immediately organized the gentry to donate food and money, and took the refugees who poured into the city to the river to repair the dam. Prepare to meet the enemy.

Why did the county lord send Hong Chengchou away alone, because he asked Mao Wenlong to stay here.

And why is it called Mao Wenlong to stay here? It's because Mao Wenlong is smart.

Standing on the dock, looking at the back of Hong Chengchou who was far away, Mao Yulong was full of reluctance to leave his mother and child, and then he was unlucky in his heart.

However, this county order is okay, and he is diligent and does not procrastinate, and the first step is to start collecting grain and grass, recruiting those displaced people on the streets, and starting to rush to build dams. did not procrastinate like other officials, and he was also very entertaining to Mao Yulong, which made him feel somewhat relieved.

Yang Fan went back home, saw his brother Ma Er standing at the door to probe his brain, and when he saw his brother coming back, he immediately greeted him and asked if the war was arranged. Yang Fan stuffed a small bag into his arms with a happy face: "You wait for me here for a while, I'll go home, and then find Lizheng's father and us to go with that old bustard and buy your daughter-in-law for you."

The horse was stunned: "What is this?" To redeem Xiaohong? ”

"This is the reward of the county lord, 50 taels of official silver, enough to redeem people."

The horse was overjoyed at that time, jumping eight battles high, and when Yang Fan arranged for the family to give over the hundred taels of silver, he found Li Zheng to bring the horse, and soon ransomed Xiaohong back, so that the two hard-working people became dependents.

arranged a brother's happy event, and then took this deputy thousand households to work quickly.

Seeing Yang Fan come back with a jubilant horse, Mao Yulong was very happy, this guy is very eye-catching, it is not easy to have a person with the right eye in this unfamiliar place.

"General Yang is coming back quickly, this is-"

"Deputy Qianhu Ma'er, just married his daughter-in-law, he came to work, and he is also grateful for the county's reward, so he fulfilled his brother's wish."

The horse knelt down at the county and kowtowed.

The county lord laughed: "I didn't expect this official to be an adult, but I feel tolerant." ”

Mao Yulong saw that Ma Er knelt together like this, his hands and feet were very sharp, so he said embarrassedly: "Fifty taels have made a dowry, and the young couple has no future foundation, so I will give you another big gift." ”

When Yang Fan heard this, he was about to refuse, but Mao Yulong stopped directly and said: "I think Brother Ma Er's hands and feet are sharp and powerful, can you be willing to go to the enemy to reconnoiter and get a reward of fifty taels?" Then he explained: "He shouldn't have been allowed to travel when he was newly married, but there was no danger in that." As long as you go to the place in front of you and squat, as long as you find the movement of the enemy's attack, you immediately run back to report the news, then this reward is yours. ”

As a result, before Yang Fan could postpone it, Ma Er immediately answered: "Little Xianggong, I took this errand." Then he faced Yang Fan: "Brother, for Xiaohong's future life, I will do this." Besides, it's just that I can run when I see the situation, and with my outstretched reach, there is no problem in escaping. ”

Seeing that my brother was resolute, it wasn't too dangerous to think about things again, so I just went, so I agreed. Regarding Mao Yulong's arrangement, the county order did not object at all, and took out another fifty taels of silver and handed it over to Ma Er in advance. After Ma Er thanked him again, he hurriedly said goodbye to Xiaohong, brought a little dry food, took a hundred and ten copper coins, and went to patrol in Xiaohong's crying.
