In the early morning, when a ray of light shone between heaven and earth, Xia Huan opened his eyes.

Compared with the soldiers and tenants who were tired all day yesterday, his consumption yesterday was much smaller.

Without alarming the palace guards who were still asleep, Xia Huan quietly walked out alone.

Last night, it was still raining, but compared with the rain the night before, last night's rain can only be regarded as drizzle.

On the embankment, the wind blew the hem of Xia Huan's clothes to hunt.

In just one day and two nights, Yingshui has changed from the beginning of the waves to a galloping appearance.

In addition to the rain in the past two days, Xia Huan knew that I was afraid that more water would come from the upstream.

The entire torrential rain may have spread all over the borders of the entire Chu State, and this year, I am afraid it will be a disaster year for the Chu State!

"Your Highness."

Chen Zhaoming appeared behind Xia Huan at some point, and said respectfully: "Everyone has almost packed up, and after about half an hour, they can set off." Do you also use morning food first? ”

When Xia Huan heard this, he realized that he had been standing on this embankment for a long time.

Gathering his thoughts, Xia Huan waved his hand and said, "No need." When I return to the county, I will go back to Lin County Order, and you will write down all the people who have fixed the embankment this time. I promised them a reward. ”

"Whoa!" Chen Zhaoming nodded and responded.

The soldiers of the Changxiu Army, who already had a good impression of Xia Huan, and those tenants, were even more overjoyed after learning that there was still a reward, and they became very hard to work.

The embankment on the Yingshang is not with the ferry. Therefore, when Xia Huan and the others walked on the official road in a little embarrassment, they immediately attracted the attention of a large group of people.

"Where did that army come from? In the state of Chu, is there still such an unbearable army? In the middle of the business trip, someone asked the passer-by suspiciously.

The passer-by pulled him over and said cautiously, "Shhh That's Chang Xiujun on the Ying. ”

"It turned out to be Chang Xiujun, no wonder so!" There was a hint of mockery on the man's face.

These businessmen, who go back and forth to Yingshang County on weekdays, are not less affected by the anger of these Changxiu Army. Now the Changxiu army of hundreds of people is even more unbearable than in the city, how can they not be happy?

"Don't die! Chang Xiujun is now a subordinate of Yingshangjun. See, the leader is Yingshangjun! Passers-by pointed to the front and said to Xia Huan, who had changed into a plain suit.

"Cut! Look at that look, how can there be a heavenly style, it is really a gathering of similar things! Shang Jia pursed his lips and muttered to himself.

The passer-by glanced at it, and no longer spoke to the merchant, and turned his head and left. The businessman, who originally wanted to inquire about the news again, looked puzzled.

In the entire Yingshang County, who doesn't know the demeanor of Yingshangjun now? It's the tough Jing family, who was killed so much by Yingshangjun, and I didn't see the Jing family farting.

Not only that, but now everything in the city is in order, and it is not the credit of Yingshangjun. It's too late for everyone to thank you, how can you allow people to say bad things about Yingshangjun behind your back.

"Chang Xiujun is back!"

Xia Huan had just entered the city, and a shout rang out from the street. Many people looked at Xia Huan and the others who were a little downcast with curious eyes.

Xia Huan frowned, glanced at Chen Zhaoming and said, "Ask what the situation is." ”

"Whoa!"

Chen Zhaoming handed the reins in his hand to a palace guard behind him, and soon disappeared into the crowd.

Xia Huan took people and walked half a street before he saw Chen Zhaoming and ran back angrily.

"What's wrong? Angry so much? Xia Huan looked at Chen Zhaoming and said jokingly.

"Huh!" Chen Zhaoming smiled coldly and said, "Your Highness, do you know what those deserters said after they came back?" ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

"The river embankment is not guaranteed, and the flood is coming! It's just a lie! ”

The ancients were lucky in everything, and during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when encountering major events, they needed divination.

Nowadays, divination is no longer so frequent, but the idea has been inherited.

That group of deserters, saying such unfortunate words, put them in the army, can already be punished for a capital crime that disturbs the morale of the army. No wonder Chen Zhaoming was so angry.

Xia Huan smiled, but said, "I think this is not necessarily a bad thing. The three of them become tigers, let them go, otherwise, we will borrow people, I'm afraid it will not be so easy. ”

"But," Chen Zhaoming's face showed a hint of hesitation, "Your Highness, this is just the words of the market after all. How could those noble families, if they send someone to the embankment of the river, and after seeing it, feel that there is no danger, how will they be willing to lend it to us? ”

They may not be worried, but not everyone in the city will go to the embankment to have a look. As long as the people in the city are panicked and chaotic, and the business of those families can't continue, they will naturally borrow people. ”

Chen Zhaoming thought about it and nodded, it seemed to be the case.

Maybe it was because he had been riding on the horse for a long time before, Xia Huan stretched lazily, and then said: "However, before I do it again, I have to add fire to them first." ”

After speaking, he walked straight in the direction of the county office.

Soon, under the persecution of Xia Huan, the heads of several big families in Yingshang gathered in this county office.

Picking up the teacup, Xia Huan took a sip. Without waiting for the fragrance of tea to dissipate, he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Yingshang County Commander has neglected his duties in recent years, so that the river embankment has fallen into disrepair. Yesterday, there was already water seepage near some embankments. For the sake of your safety, this gentleman proposes that each family should contribute some people to strengthen the river embankment again. What do you think? ”

Xia Huan's words fell, and the huge county government returned to quiet again.

Those who come on behalf of various families are all elderly. They can all be regarded as scheming, although they all look worried, but no one says a word.

Xia Huan was not in a hurry, and after drinking most of the tea in the teacup, he said: "If you don't speak, this gentleman will take your consent." ”

The stewards present suddenly frowned. This is obviously an attempt to rob it!

This little highness doesn't look young, but no one dares to be careless. They did not want to leave or offend this little highness.

Everyone's eyes involuntarily glanced at an old man at the head.

"Ahem!" The old man coughed lightly twice, then stood up and arched his hand and said, "Your Highness is worried about the people, which is my great luck. My Jing family is willing to contribute tools and carriages and horses to help His Royal Highness! ”

"Yes, I take care of my family, and I am willing to help His Highness!"

"My Wu family can and will!"

With the statement of the Jing family's steward, many families also responded.

There are dozens of families on the wing, large and small, even if they send a piece of carriage and horses, what is the use? Without people, everything is in vain.

In fact, Xia Huan also knew it in his heart. The reason why they did this was nothing more than to restrain him and prevent him from becoming more prevalent.

The bloodstained streets and alleys have affected the status of these families in the city.

If this Royal Highness is allowed to borrow people from them as he pleases, then these families will really become Xia Huan's subordinates in the eyes of outsiders.

This makes them rely on their privileges to make profits in the future!

The most important thing is that the embankment was built by Taizu that day, and there has never been an accident, and it is claimed that it will not fall for a hundred years. Therefore, they did not know anything about the river, and they were not worried about the river embankment bursting.
