In the hall of the Taishou Mansion, the civil, civil, military and military forces were all gathered together, and they were now used to sitting on chairs, although they felt that they were not kneeling and sitting solemnly, but this thing was indeed much more comfortable to sit on, and the two of them wanted to ask Liu Xin for two to go back several times, but they finally held back.

Liu Xin looked at everyone present and said, "Everyone, I had a dream last night, and I dreamed that a golden armor god man said to me that there will be a big drought in Jizhou this winter and next spring!" ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard Liu Xin's words, and they started to talk about it.

Liu Xin stopped everyone and continued: "If there is really a major drought, there will be big problems in next year's agricultural harvest, and the people's lives will be seriously affected, and there will even be a famine of large varieties." We can't afford to be on guard. ”

Tian Feng stood up and said, "Your lord's worries are reasonable. If a major drought really occurs, the harvest will fail or even fail next summer, and a large number of displaced people will appear at that time. There will be great turmoil in the Jizhou area. ”

Liu Xin didn't expect Tian Feng to tell the essence of the matter at once, so he continued: "Thinking of the horse thieves who have frequently appeared in various places recently, specializing in robbing and burning grain, I have a bad feeling, it seems that there is a mysterious force that is fueling the troubles. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, since the harvest this autumn, according to your orders, we have purchased a large amount of grain, which is enough to support the end of next year. The two generals, Xu and Zhang, sent military horses to patrol and guard everywhere, and there has been no incident of horse thieves robbing grain in this county for a long time, and the people also have a lot of surplus grain in their hands, even if there is a drought, they should be able to withstand it. ”

Liu Xin shook his head and said, "Even so, we can't take it lightly. I think we can still consider taking advantage of the current agricultural slack season to build water conservancy and dig ditches and wells, just in case. In this way, even if there is a drought, there will be a little harvest. ”

It was the first time for Zhang Jun to participate in such a meeting attended by Liu Xin's henchmen, and he wanted to behave well, so he couldn't wait to stand up and say, "Go back to your lordship, in fact, it's not difficult, we can ask for rain." ”

"Asking for rain? cough, cough ......" Liu Xin took a mouthful of water in his mouth, and choked in his throat before he could swallow it.

Zhang Jun saw Liu Xin's surprised look, and said proudly: "Lord Hui, I heard that there is a person in Julu County, surnamed Zhang Mingjiao, known as a great sage and good teacher, also known as Taiping Daoist, this person has vast magical powers, and has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, if it rains, just ask this person to come, and he will be able to get his wish." ”

Zhang Jiao? Unexpectedly, his fame was so great, Liu Xin opened his mouth wide this time and was speechless.

Zhang Jun said again: "If the adult can trust the lower official, the lower official will go to invite him." I think that my lord is for the sake of the people of the county, and that great teacher will definitely come gladly. ”

Of course, Liu Xin didn't believe that begging for rain would be useful, but at that time, when there was a drought, even the emperor would order to ask for rain, and now that Zhang Jun mentioned it, he really couldn't object, and he also wanted to see what kind of person Zhang Jiao who launched the Yellow Turban Uprising, so he had to say: "That's fine, then it's hard for Lord Zhang to make a trip." ”

"Yes, the next official will do it." Seeing that Liu Xin had taken his advice, Zhang Jun happily received the order and prepared a gift to invite Zhang Jiao.

Liu Xin saw Zhang Jun leaving, so he said to everyone in the hall: "It's hard to say whether this kind of thing is reliable or not, we can't rely on him." Mr. Fu and Mr. Tian, the two of you are responsible for organizing the people to build water conservancy and purchase a large amount of grain. General Zhang and General Xu, you led your men and horses to patrol around to prevent horse thieves from causing chaos. General Dian, you lead the Flying Tiger Guard to protect the safety of your family. ”

Everyone was ordered to leave, and only Liu Xin and Zhao Yun were left in the hall. Zhao Yun got up and said, "My lord, then what arrangements do I have?" ”

Liu Xin walked to his side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Zhao Yun, you worked hard a while ago. For the time being, there is nothing for you to do, so you can use this time to practice martial arts and read more books. ”

Liu Xin understood that the reason why Zhao Yun was willing to come to Hejian was entirely because of Fan Juan. He couldn't figure out why Fan Juan would marry Zhao Fan's brother in history, and later Zhao Yun attacked Guiyang, Zhao Fan surrendered out of the city, and once wanted to marry Fan Juan, who was already widowed, to Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun refused. Now that he has been bumped into by Liu Xin, of course he wants to be this matchmaker, so that the lover will eventually become a family.

However, all along, Zhao Yun seems to have been a little inseparable from Liu Xin. But Liu Xin was not worried, because he knew that Zhao Yun was a loyal person, and when he followed Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei invited him several times, but he couldn't bear to leave, and he didn't switch to Liu Bei until Gongsun Zhan died. Now that he follows himself, he will definitely not have any different intentions, and he will always take refuge in Cao Ying or Yuan Shao in the future, he may leave him, when it will rain, and he will marry someone, and he will not take care of much. At the moment, Zhao Yun is just a big child, Liu Xin doesn't want to put a burden on him too early and affect his future development, but still hopes that he will learn more and experience more. Zhao Yun didn't understand Liu Xin's intentions, and was a little reluctant.

At this moment, Ma Yun walked in angrily. Ma Yun likes Fan Juan, a beautiful and lovely little girl, and often chats with her and tells her stories. Fan Juan also likes to go to Ma Yun when she is fine, and she loves Wu and Wu, and Zhao Yun has a very respectful attitude towards this Taishou lady, which is far better than her attitude towards Liu Xin. Seeing her angry look, although Zhao Yun didn't speak, he looked at Liu Xin shamelessly, because he felt that except for Liu Xin, no one dared to make Mrs. angry, not to mention that Mrs. was still pregnant with Liujia.

Liu Xin was also taken aback when she saw Ma Yun's expression, and hurriedly stepped forward to support her and asked, "Madam, what's wrong with you?" Who made you so angry? Quickly dissipate, if the tire gas is moved, it will be troublesome. ”

Ma Yun snorted in his nose and said, "I brought you someone, who do you see?" ”

After Ma Yun finished speaking, he greeted outside, and the two tiger guards escorted a beggar in from outside. Liu Xin was wondering, took a closer look at the beggar, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Li Lin?!" Weren't you already beheaded two months ago? How can it be? ”

Ma Yun said angrily: "I almost hurt him in his hands, you have to investigate this matter carefully." ”

In this era when there are no entertainment activities, shopping has become Ma Yun's biggest hobby, and Liu Xin also hopes that she will walk more, which is good for her body, so she never stopped her, but just sent a few guards to follow her from a distance. Today, as usual, she asked Fan Juan to go shopping. Fan Juan is still a little girl who is not in time, and she grew up in a small village, so she feels new to everything in the city, and if she is a lady, she will easily refuse to show her head. And Mrs. has no shelf, and she is very good to her, so Fan Juan is also willing to accompany Mrs. around.

When they came out of a silk shop, and had not walked a few steps, they heard someone shouting behind them: "Madame, be careful! Then there was a scream of "ah", and when I turned around, I saw a girl lying to the ground, blood oozing from her forehead, and her face was dripping. Two guards were holding one of them down, and next to him was a stone, still stained with blood. Fan Juan had never seen this kind of scene, so she was so frightened that she turned her face away and didn't dare to look at it again. Ma Yun is a police academy student, so she is naturally not afraid, so she checked the girl who fell to the ground first, and it must be her who reminded herself to be careful just now. Ma Yun picked up the girl, took out a handkerchief, pressed it on her forehead, helped her stop the bleeding first, and after a closer look, she recognized this person, who turned out to be the second girl who was expelled from the Taishou Mansion. Ma Yun saw that Erya was still unconscious, so she ordered the two guards to send her back to the Taishou Mansion first, and asked Lang Zhong for treatment, and then went to see the person who was held down by the guards, who turned out to be a beggar. When she took a closer look, she was even more surprised, it turned out that this person turned out to be Li Lin!

It is said that Li Lin was beheaded two months ago, how could he be here? It is said that Li Lin also has a hard life, just because he coveted Ma Yun's beauty, but his family was ruined. Fortunately, the thief Cao Shi Chen Jin is also Li Cheng's cronies and takes great care of him in prison. Just one day before the execution, Chen Jin got a beggar out of nowhere, disguised himself as Li Lin, and was stabbed at the entrance of the market for him. Chen Jin has done this kind of thing in the past, and he is naturally familiar with it. After a while, Chen Jin saw that there was no rumor, so he quietly sent Li Lin to another country, which can be regarded as leaving a pulse of incense for the Li family.

Li Lin was originally a gentleman, and he usually didn't have anything to do except look for flowers and ask willows. There are not many entanglements around him, and it didn't take long to run out, helping others do a few days of short-term work, tired to death, slow movements, and a few whips, when did he suffer this? I really couldn't stand it, so I thought about it, so I dived back to the river and asked my uncle's old subordinates to help me. Unexpectedly, when these people heard that Li Lin was not dead, they came to the door and treated him as a plague god, even Chen Jin refused to see him, and threatened him to leave the river quickly, otherwise he would be buried alive in the wild.

Li Lin was frightened by him, but he didn't dare to go out of the city, so he hid in the city and begged for a living. One day, when Li Linxing was begging in front of a pharmacy, he saw a man and a woman walking out of the store. When Li Lin saw the man, he recognized it, it was a gangster who used to follow him before, and quickly hid aside. Looking at the woman again, I couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out that the woman turned out to be Li Lin's wife, and she was very affectionate with the gangster, her abdomen was slightly bulging, and she was obviously pregnant. Li Lin hated it so much, this woman has been married to the Li family for three years, and she has never laid a single egg, and now she must be the bastard in her belly, but she also knows each other, understands her situation, and does not dare to come out.

On this day, Li Lin was sitting on the side of the street, and suddenly saw a pregnant woman walking by, and found that there was no man by her side, and remembered that her woman was about to help someone else give birth.
