"Dare to ask the official, why did you smash the statue of the dragon king, if it gets angry, it will affect us!" An old man with gray hair trembled with anger, but he spoke very politely to Dian Wei, because he could also tell from the uniforms of these people that these troops were the Heavenly Wolf Army.

No one will be unfamiliar with the Sky Wolf Army, this is the army that guards the two states, but the Sky Wolf Army passed through this village not long ago, and the people are still watching.

"The lord has an order, the dragon king has no virtue, he makes Lang, and kills the people, such demon dragons are not worthy of worship, and accept the people's incense." Dian Wei took Chu Xiong's words and said in a different way.

"Dare to ask this military master, which lord of your family is. Why is the Dragon King a demon dragon? The old man continued.

"How many lords can there be in the Heavenly Wolf Army, of course the lords of my family are the generals, the king of Chu, and the herd of Youzhou Chuxiong." Dian Wei said proudly and loudly.

"Dare to ask where the general is now? Can I see you? When the old man heard that the legendary immortal, Chu Xiong, the lord of the two states, was coming, he was also very excited and forgot about the dead statue for a long time.

When the people heard Dian Wei's words, they also began to talk about it.

"Is that big man talking about the fat prince?"

"It seems that I heard that the prince is a living immortal!"

"Yes, I've heard about it too, but why did the prince smash the statue of the dragon king in our village!"

I saw that Dian Wei had smashed the statue and led several old people to come to me a foot away, and Dian Wei stepped forward alone to report, "Lord, these old men are the village chief and the third elder of the village, and they said that they have something to ask the lord." ”

When I heard Dian Wei's report, I directly pushed away these soldiers who were guarding me, and shouted: "This king is Chu Xiong, this king smashed your dragon king statue, do you have any opinions?" The dragon king eats your offerings every year, didn't he flood you this time?"

"The grass people don't dare, the grass people don't dare." Those old people didn't expect Chu Xiong to take the initiative and directly suppress people as the prince, so they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and they didn't even dare to say anything.

"Look, that fat man is the King of Chu? It's as fat as the legend!"

"Yes, it's really fat, it's just that the village chief is kowtowing!"

……

These people were surrounded by tiger guards and did not go with the village chief and others to see Chu Xiong. They can only talk about it.

"This king tells you, in the future, you still live in peace, don't go to worship these gods, you may all know, this king is the gods and goddesses, the things in the sky know more than you, now the gods in the sky, no longer eat the people's offerings, they dislike you mortals are too annoying, trivial things are required of the gods, so you don't have to worship, the gods will not care about you. Mortal affairs should be asked to the government, this king sees that your sacrifices are very good, and the living conditions must not be bad. This shows that Liu Zhoumu's governance is not bad. "Is what the prince said true? Do immortals really care about mortal affairs?" One of the three elders thought about how he had worshiped the gods for so many years, and he still didn't get what he wanted, and he thought of what Chu Xiong said, maybe these immortals really didn't care about things for a long time. asked Chu Xiong excitedly.

"Hmph, what kind of identity is this king, can still deceive you into a small people, this king tells you, you live a happy life today, not those gods give you, these are the king's subordinate officials, hard work! If you don't think about reciprocating, you can forget it, and you still give these credits to those immortals. What a foolishness. My voice was a little excited, and several old people were ashamed of what they said.

I continued: "The torrential rain caused the water level of the Yellow River to rise for several days, and the embankment was in disrepair for a long time. It's not caused by the Dragon King, the old man of the Dragon King lives in the sea, it's not your Yellow River, do you know what the sea is? Thousands of the king's army have died in order to allow the safe transfer of your ignorant people, and this is half of your village, and who of you is grateful to them!"

"Lord Wang... We... We deserve to die!" The village chief bowed his head in shame and shouted loudly.

"Yes, we're sorry for the Sirius Sergeant who died for us! They're good soldiers!" The third elder said, and then there was a commotion among the people fifty meters away, and he spoke.

The corners of my mouth showed a smile of relief, and said: "Get up, these soldiers died for flood relief, they are glorious, and they have also fulfilled their position as soldiers, and they are loyal to this king, as long as you can live a down-to-earth life in the future, and find the government to solve the difficulties, don't pin your hopes on these ethereal immortals, this is the last reward for those dead soldiers." ”

"Thank you for your guidance, I will definitely not pin my hopes on the gods in the future, and live a down-to-earth life." A few old ** shouted.

"Okay, very good, when the water recedes, the king will rebuild the embankment, and then you will have to mobilize the people to help, and of course the king will pay the wages." The people affected by the disaster can receive rice and grain from the government and wait for the flood water to recede, and the government will pay for the reconstruction of your houses. ”

"Thank you Lord, thank you Lord, we will definitely convey the meaning of Lord's intention to the people. The people will always remember the great kindness of the king. ”

"Then go back!"

"The grass people are retiring." Several of them also planned to hurry up to convey Chu Xiong's meaning to the people.

"Fengxiao, when I go back, write a document to this king, and inform several states of this king's handling of this matter, this ignorant people, there must be a lot of people, and they must be given a correct mind." I thought that the scene I saw here must be just the tip of the iceberg, these people have relied on the sky for food for many years, and they will definitely not get rid of these gods and ghosts, and they are just giving them a correct mind, don't want to rely on those bullshit gods for everything.

"Lao Huang, do you remember the portrait of the prince clearly?" Here, the village chief just walked out a short distance and pulled the three elders Huangpu and asked.

"Village chief, why are you so worried about me! I've been doing this for decades, and I promise to replace the dragon king statue with a living prince. ”

"Be quiet, you have a loud voice." The village chief hurriedly covered Huangpu's mouth, looked back and forth, and let go of his hand with peace of mind when he found that no one had seen it.

"Woo... Yes... Village chief, if you want to cover my mouth, you will go down to the ward first, and I will almost suffocate you to death. ”

"You two don't make trouble, hurry back and make clay sculptures, if the prince knows that we secretly worship him, he may be killed." Li Tian, the other third elder, whispered. At the same time, the pace of his feet also accelerated.

These villagers, as soon as Chu Xiong finished saying that they were not allowed to worship the Dragon King, they were ready to worship Chu Xiong instead.

I took everyone to continue to Jinyang City, and when I arrived at Jinyang City, there were gradually more people, all of them were yellow and thin, and their clothes were ragged, all of them were refugees from Hexi, Pingyang, Taiyuan and other refugees transferred by the Yellow River, there were more than 100,000 people.

I pointed to the front and saw that there were many bamboo sheds built there, and I could vaguely see people coming and going, and said to Liu Bei: "Xuande, there are so many refugees, how do you settle them." ”

Liu Bei saw Chu Xiong calling him by name, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Lord, I have asked Yuanzhi to send someone to register them, and the refugees from all over Taiyuan will arrange for them to return to their hometowns in a few days, otherwise they will miss the spring ploughing, as long as there is a harvest in the autumn, the lives of these people will be peaceful." It's just that there are still many old and weak women and children, and the young and strong men in the family have all died in the flood and need to be properly resettled. ”

"This is easy to do, immediately send someone to start circling two pieces in Taiyuan City, and transform it into a nursing home and an orphanage, the scale will be calculated according to a thousand, ask for the consent of the people, if you don't want to be hospitalized, you can give them travel expenses, go back and let the local government give them relief money and food on time, if any officials dare to do anything with this money, exterminate his family for this king, if anyone wants to challenge the authority of this king, you can let him try, Xuande thinks that this king's proposal if?"

"The lord is wise, so these old women and children will have a fall. It's just that the cost of this money is going to increase again. Liu Bei felt that the opinions of this lord every time were unheard of, but they were very practical, and the gap between himself and the lord was still very big!

"Money is easy to say, if you don't have money, the king will give you an allocation when he returns to Youzhou."

"Thank you, the lord, and the state money and grain are still surplus under the promotion of the lord's various policies. Don't bother the lord. ”

"In this way, Xuande needs to mention it, go over there and take a look."

Xu Huang has been busy with the relief of refugees outside the city these days, and when he saw Chu Xiong and them coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord, why are you here?" It's dirty and messy here. ”

I looked at the sweaty man and said suspiciously, "I don't know who is under my feet." When Ben** returned from fighting the flood, he saw that there were so many refugees, so he wanted to come and have a look. ”

"The last general Xu Huang, the word is clear. He used to be a lieutenant under Yang Feng, and the last general had seen the main tiger body many times before. Later, Yang Feng died, and the last general came to take refuge in the lord, fortunately Liu Zhoumu was introduced, and the lord appreciated, and now he is serving as the division commander under Marshal Lu. At present, he is on duty in the refugee area under the dispatch of Xu Junshi. ”

I looked at the division commander in front of me, who was a little shorter than me, holding a gossip Xuanhua axe, and his spirit was good, it turned out that this was Xu Huang! Originally, the military uniform of this division commander was also very recognizable, but I hadn't seen Xu Huang.

"General Xu has worked hard, and you can rest assured that you are guarding the people."

Xu Huang said modestly: "It's nothing, it's nothing." This is all the business of the last general, and it is nothing. If there was no relief organized by Liu Zhoumu and no military doctors to prevent and control the epidemic, I don't know how many people would have died? ”

I saw a person who had just passed by me after receiving the porridge, and the porridge in the bowl in his hand was so thin that he could see people's faces, so I couldn't help frowning and asking, "Xuande, didn't you say that the money and food in Bingzhou are sufficient?" How can these people eat enough to eat such porridge? If there is not enough food, the king will immediately send someone back to the capital to allocate it again, so as not to starve the people. ”
