Zhao Kai and his entourage traveled day and night, and arrived in Xuzhou in just a few days and went straight to Xuzhou.

The magistrate of Xuzhou had already gotten the news and greeted Zhao Kai and his party at the city gate early.

Zhao Kai, Zhao Zhi, and Qin Hui got off the carriage, and the magistrate of Xuzhou immediately greeted him, "King Yun, King Xin, Liu Xun of Xuzhou Magistrate." ”

Since Zhao Kai learned that officials from all over the vicinity of Jiangnan had blocked Jiangnan and trapped the refugees in Jiangnan, he had no good impression of the officials from all over the vicinity of Jiangnan, and just nodded lightly at Liu Xun, which made Liu Xun look embarrassed.

Zhao Zhi also expected Zhao Kai to be like this, shook his head helplessly, and then looked at Liu Xun with a smile, and said, "Liu Xun, the magistrate of Xuzhou, we have been on the road for several days, but we haven't had a good meal." ”

When Liu Xun heard this, where did he dare to slack off, so he hurriedly turned sideways and made way out, "King Yun, King Xin, the lower officials have already prepared the wine and food in the mansion, please come here." ”

As soon as Zhao Zhi took a step, Zhao Kai said in a sarcastic tone, "Liu Zhixian, now that the refugees in Jiangnan are in dire straits, do you think we are in the mood to eat and drink here?" ”

Zhao Zhi was a little embarrassed, took back the foot that had not yet fallen, retreated behind Zhao Kai, and looked at Liu Xun sympathetically.

Liu Xun was also a little embarrassed, his face was full of smiles, and he said, "King Yun is a golden body, how can it be compared to those untouchables, besides, King Yun also has to eat and sleep well to control the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, isn't it." ”

Liu Xun has always believed that he will not hit a smiling person, but Liu Xun never expected that he would meet Zhao Kai, and Zhao Kai can beat people without smiling or smiling.

"If Liu Zhixian has a heart, he will donate money and materials for the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, if he doesn't have a heart, it is useless how much the king eats." Zhao Kai really felt that he had nothing to say to Liu Xun, turned around, and went straight to the carriage and set off. ”

Zhao Zhi and Qin Hui glanced at each other, both of them were a little helpless, and got into the carriage.

"Third brother, what are you doing, are you a little too radical."

Zhao Kai leaned there, looked out the window, and said, "The Tao is different, and it is not conspiratory. ”

Zhao Zhi sat next to Zhao Kai, "Third brother, this Liu Xun is the first official to propose a blockade of Jiangnan, and the nearby officials are all looking at him, if he is too stiff, it will only be beneficial to control the floods in Jiangnan." ”

Zhao Kai smiled disdainfully, "I still don't believe it, I can't cure him in a small county." ”

Qin Hui, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "I think what King Xin said is right, if you want to completely cure the floods in Jiangnan and solve the refugee problem, you must start with those officials who blockaded Jiangnan and lift the blockade in Jiangnan." ”

Zhao Kai hesitated for a moment and said, "Since this Liu Xun is the leader, then let's knock on the mountain and shake the tiger and pull out his thorn, and the rest of the officials will not be troubled." ”

"Xia Guan thinks it's not that simple." Qin Hui took out a hanging of money from his arms and threw it out along the window of the carriage, as soon as the hanging money landed, the people on the side of the road went crazy to be strong, and even fought for it, so that his head was bleeding.

Zhao Kai and Zhao Zhi who watched were dumbfounded, although there was a lot of money, it would not make people fight for it, why did the people here ......

Qin Hui continued, "Jiangnan and the surrounding areas of Jiangnan because of the imperial court's large-scale mining of Huashigang, so there are no businessmen willing to come here to do business, making it poor, people here regard money as life, Liu Xun is a well-known miser, want Liu Xun and others to lift the blockade of Jiangnan, it is more difficult to accept refugees than to take their lives, they will definitely do everything possible to drag it down, drag it until the imperial court declares us to go back, which is why so many officials came before, and the result was in vain." ”

Zhao Kai and Zhao Zhi looked at each other and were silent, Zhu Xuan, the manager of the Yingfeng Bureau who was in charge of mining Huashigang, had always said that Jiangnan was beautiful and Jiangnan, and Zhao Kai and Zhao Zhi didn't expect the reality of Jiangnan to be like this.

Zhao Zhi touched his chin, "Then what should we do now?" ”

"Now that the relationship with Liu Xun is stiff, Liu Xun will definitely not sincerely help us deal with the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and now the only way is to take one step at a time." Qin Hui said bitterly.

Zhao Kai waved his hand indifferently, "Since this is already the case, then you can only take one step at a time, do your best." ”

Zhao Kai and the three of them were silent for a while, and Zhao Zhi slowly said, "Third brother, we can't think of a way now, why don't you tell the twelfth brother about the story last time." ”

Zhao Kai was not in the mood, but looking at Zhao Zhi's small eyes, Zhao Kai couldn't bear to refuse, so he had to continue to talk about Journey to the West.

"We said the first eight words last time, and today we will say the ninth word, Yuan Shoucheng is clever, selfless, and the old dragon king is clumsy and violates the rules of heaven.

The poem says: The capital city is a big country, and the eight rivers flow around the four mountains. How many emperors prospered here, and the world said Chang'an in ancient times. This single table of Chang'an City, a large country in Shaanxi, is the place where the emperors of the past dynasties built their capitals. Since the Zhou, Qin and Han dynasties, the three states are full of flowers, and the eight rivers flow around the city. Thirty-six flower willow alleys, seventy-two orchestra buildings. Looking at the Huayi map, it is the best in the world, and it is really a miracle party. Today, it is Emperor Taizong Wen of the Tang Dynasty who ascended the throne and changed the Yuan Longji Zhenguan. At this time, he has been on the pole for thirteen years, and he is in his own life. Not to mention that he had a heroic man in front of him. Fight with the pioneer who fights for the frontier.

However, it is said that on the bank of the Jing River outside Chang'an City, there are two sages: one is a fisherman, named Zhang Xiao; One is Qiaozi, whose name is Li Ding. The two of them are Jinshi who are not Dengke, and they are literate mountain people. One day, in Chang'an City, I sold the firewood on my shoulder, bought the carp in the basket, entered the tavern together, ate half a heart, each carried a bottle, and walked back along the bank of the Jing River. Zhang Xiaodao ........."

Qin Hui didn't listen too seriously, after all, Zhao Kai was not a storyteller, but Qin Hui became fascinated when he listened to it, and became the eighth fan of Journey to the West in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kai said four words to Zhao Zhi and Qin Hui in one breath, and then he didn't talk about it, and Zhao Zhi and Qin Hui listened to it unsatisfactorily.

"I didn't expect King Yun to be able to tell stories, the story is much more exciting than the ones that Xia Guan has heard before." Qin Hui is not complimentary, but sincere, Journey to the West, the four famous books of later generations, how can they be compared with the stories told by those storytellers on the street.

"Low-key and low-key, I'm also hearsay."

"I don't know what the name of this story of King Yun is."

"Journey to the West, called Journey to the West."
