Among the subordinate officials, not all of them were in line with the attitude of calming things down, and many people were naturally afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so they avoided it and repeated a few examples of the capture of the marquis, which really made Shi Kefa's face gloomy. This guy is not trying to find Li Xin unhappy, but hopes that he, the official, will not be able to touch Li Xin's mold.

After all, Shi Kefa is not the kind of official who only knows how to make noise in the court, and he has led troops to suppress thieves for many years, so he naturally will not make such a mistake of listening and believing. It's just that all these things are not the words of one person, and he really has six or seven points in his heart that he already believes. So the impression of Li Xin was even worse.

Shi Kefa saw many soldiers of the Three Guards digging ditches and filling soil under the scorching sun with open chests and backs, and it must be known that even the most elite border troops of the imperial court at that time were also full of gangsterism, and it was almost impossible to do nothing with Minqiu in the local area. It's just that these people look like people's husbands, and they don't have half of the spirit of soldiers and bandits, and the rules and regulations are very strange. Curious, Shi Kefa approached these soldiers in one place.

There were still more than 50 steps away from the construction site, but it was stopped.

"Stop! Military strongholds, idlers, etc. are forbidden to approach! ”

His own subordinate officials came forward to negotiate with him.

"I'm blind to your dog's eyes, this is the head of the household department and the leader of the right frugal capital of the Imperial Palace, is he an idle person?"

The soldier in charge of the sentry saluted him with a face that was neither humble nor arrogant, but it was a military salute. Shi Kefa frowned slightly, secretly thinking that Li Xin's command was really domineering, and even a small army member did not have the slightest awe when he saw the court officials, and his arrogance and arrogance could be seen.

But the arrogant generals were originally intended, otherwise how could Li Xin achieve the proud record of defeating the Liukou first and then defeating the Tartars?

"I don't know what kind of war preparations you are doing here by digging trenches and filling soil?"

Shi Kefa didn't care about the soldier's neglect, and there was really no need to deal with him with his identity, otherwise it would be a laughing stock in vain. Seeing that the soldier hesitated, Shi Kefa guessed that perhaps Li Xin asked for secrecy.

It was only when he had this idea that the soldier replied: "It has not rained so far this year, and the water in the fields is drying up, and most of the irrigation ponds are almost at the bottom." Our general was afraid that there would be no rain for a long time and the crops would not be harvested, so he ordered the whole army to build irrigation channels for Yingtianfu to carry water by firepower. ”

The soldier's answer was greatly beyond Shi Kefa's expectations, as a martial artist, it was rare to be able to think about the suffering of the people, but in his heart he was wary of the admiration of this person. The martial arts take care of civil affairs, which is tantamount to the peony chicken Si Chen, and the Ming Dynasty used the military defense to control the military defense is the trend of the martial arts through the local strategy. Now, what Li Xin did was naturally a big taboo. He didn't know how the officials in Nanjing thought of this matter, so naturally it was not easy to make a rash decision.

Shi Kefa sighed in response, and then he became curious, there must be water to build a canal for irrigation. This year, since the beginning of spring, the water level of the Yangtze River waterway, as well as the surrounding Daze Lake such as Taihu Lake, has dropped by more than a zhang, and the water level of the river channel and small lake has been exposed to the bottom, and the sun is full of cracks. In such a situation, I want to draw water but I don't know where it happens.

When the soldier saw that although the squire in front of him had a gloomy face, he was easy-going and polite, which was different from the eyes of ordinary officials, so he suddenly had a good impression of him, and he talked more.

"Our general has his own method of lifting water, last year's drought in Shanxi, all by this method, although the harvest in the field is less than half of the usual, it is better than no harvest!" He didn't know that this seemingly easy-going squire had already turned an unknown number of thoughts in his heart.

After being reminded, Shi Kefa thought of the method of lifting water with firepower that the soldier said before, which must be a general trick from the West. As soon as I thought of this, I lost interest in this method of water diversion, and the vast majority of readers in this era admired the avenue and disdained small skills, and Shi Kefa was naturally not exempt from vulgarity.

When the group passed through the Purple Mountain, the sun was already slanting in the west, and seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, a subordinate official said to Shi Kefa: "Seeing that the sky is getting late, there is Linggu Temple in front, so it is better to stay in the temple for one night." ”

Shi Kefa nodded in agreement, Linggu Temple was built in the period of Emperor Wu of Liang, and Taizu moved the temple to its current place for the construction of filial piety. Walk further but Lixu, it is already under the Purple Mountain, different from the endless rice fields under the mountain, here surrounded by trees, the fragrance of flowers is elegant, there is a faint melodious bell to come, between which there are monks chanting words, falling into the ears and nose heart, it is indescribable peace.

The saint's disciples did not believe in Buddhism, but they also respected the Buddha and feared God, Shi Kefa got off the horse and walked up along the sheep intestine mountain road, and a group of followers followed, and turned a few miles to wait for the eyes to suddenly open up, and an open field appeared, which was actually to the Linggu Temple.

The abbot of the temple, Master Jingran, personally received the visiting court officials, Linggu Temple has always been no shortage of pilgrims, but the people who come to the temple to seek solace are mostly the families of the rich gentry and the official eunuchs, but the real members are rarely involved in this place. Today, there is a sudden visit from a high-ranking official in a purple robe of the imperial court, how dare you not pay attention to it?

Venerable Jingran first ordered the kitchen to prepare an excellent meal, and then personally accompanied Shi Kefa on a stroll through the temple. However, because the temple was newly built in the Hongwu period, the Linggu Temple, which is known as a thousand-year-old temple, is somewhat unworthy of its name, and Master Jingran's introduction one by one can only be a new palace within two hundred years.

Soon, Master Jingran was a little disappointed, and from his eyesight, it was obvious that this Shi Butang did not come to Linggu Temple to ask God and ask Buddha, but really just missed the night and bothered him all night, as he said. With this thought, Master Jingran's warm heart suddenly cooled.

It's just that Master Jingran's heart faded, but another matter came up. Since there is a history hall today, why not have dates and no dates? Thinking of this, Venerable Jingran chanted a Buddha name, followed by another sigh.

Shi Kefa really opened his mouth and asked: "The great monk turns into a foreigner, do you also have mundane troubles?" There was a hint of disapproving ridicule in his tone.

Jing Ran couldn't hear it, so he only sighed again and replied: "It's true that monks abstain from hatred and ignorance, but there is also a saying that they are compassionate to the heavens, punish the evil and promote the good, but now the bandits and evil karma are rampant, but what the old man sighs is that the world is suffering and cannot get rid of it!" ”

Shi Kefa listened to the big monk's detour for a long time, and seemed to mean something, but he deliberately hung up and didn't ask, but instead started a dumb riddle.

"In the past, the Buddha cut meat and fed the eagle, and the master has a great wish, why not follow the example and eliminate the bad karma here?"

Master Jingran has always argued, and said: "Bad karma comes from thousands of unjust souls, and it is difficult for the old man to cut off all his flesh and blood......

Shi Kefa's eyes suddenly froze, how could there be thousands of unjust souls? Unless he leads a general, he can kill tens of millions of enemies, is he referring to Li Xin? Thinking of this, he no longer continued to circle with Jingran, but asked bluntly: "What grievances are there, the great monk said it is okay!" ”

"Since there is an order from the ministry, the old man will say it directly! Li Xin of the Three Guards plundered the people's land privately, so that there were many complaints, I don't know if the ministry dared to eliminate this monstrous bad karma? ”

Master Jingran still had a faint smile, but Shi Kefa heard some ridicule in his tone, and sneered in his heart, this great monk was so small, he just teased him, and he returned it after a while, and he was even more disdainful in his heart. If such a stammering person says that he is willing to ask for his life for sentient beings, it is really a ghost who is willing to believe it. Maybe it was the temple property of Linggu Temple that was threatened with losses, so he opened his mouth to complain.

Shi Kefa wanted to laugh at it, these big monks don't produce on weekdays, and they don't know how much fertile land around Yingtianfu, and the people are not good men and women at all, and they exploit tenant farmers and landlords and rich gentry. But since it involves Li Xin, he has other plans.

Li Xin sneezed three times in a row, he rubbed his nose and said to himself: "I don't know which one is scolding me behind my back!" "Scolding is scolding, the people who scold him every day don't have a basket, and there are three big cars, as the so-called lice don't bite if they have more, and they don't worry about people if they have more debts.

What he is trying his best to do now is to build a systematic irrigation waterway in Yingtianfu Zhenjiang Mansion to Susong Second Mansion, imitating Taiyuan, but the time is pressing, I am afraid that if Yingtianfu is completed, the seedlings in other provinces will have already died of drought.

He discussed this matter with Sun Ji many times, and in the end, he could only repair it one day at a time, and he always had to rush the construction period. It's just that today he received a report from Mi Yan, saying that Shi Kefa came to Nanjing to complain, and the imperial court had asked him to patrol the military and political affairs of Chizhou, Luzhou and other places with the title of household servant to exterminate the Huangmei thief.

Since Li Xin entered Beijing by sea, the communication between Nanjing and Beijing has resumed. The imperial court's reaction to the Shandong incident was much calmer, and it did not reproach Li Xin and Zhang Fangyan, but encouraged and comforted them. The generals of the Three Guards were relieved, but Li Da had another opinion on this, and things were abnormal and demonic. If the matter is discussed, regardless of Li Xin or Zhang Fangyan, the civil and military affairs will be reprimanded by the imperial court, and the imperial court has not reprimanded them, which is enough to prove that the imperial court has a deep fear of them, and it is only hindered by inciting chaos to prevent the outbreak of chaos.

Mi Yan also strongly agreed with this, warning Li Xin not to be confused by the superficial attitude of the imperial court, and to make plans for dealing with it as soon as possible, and at the same time asserted that the day when the Grand Canal was unobstructed from north to south was the time when the imperial court freed up its hands to clean up the Three Guards.

It is precisely for this reason that Li Xin will do a good job in this irrigation project at any cost, as long as Nanzhili, even if only Yingtian Yifu is saved from a major drought and the harvest is lost, he will collect all the local people, and then he will have enough confidence to argue with others.

Ying Tianfu Yin He Kegang had already waited for the guilt to listen to the ginseng, and Li Xin decided to push Chen Wenshan, the commander of Longtan County, and he would take over as Ying Tianfu Yin. As long as Chen Wenshan relies on this water conservancy, he will be the only one who should be the Yin of Tianfu.
