Ye Xiaotian slept late today, and he was full of warm fragrance and warm jade, just as Zhang Fatzi said, he really slept comfortably. At the fifth watch, suddenly the rain and wind were raging, and by the time the day dawned it was already pouring down, and the rain was pouring down as if it didn't want money, and it was all over the sky.

Generally speaking, if the rain is too rapid, it will weaken in half an hour at most, but this time the heavy rain has been raining for more than an hour, and the rain has not weakened by half a minute. Ye Xiaotian woke up to the sound of heavy rain, and when he opened his eyes, the sky seemed to be bright.

Ye Xiaotian stretched out his hand and touched the side, but there was no longer Doni's figure. Ye Xiaotian got up in his clothes, walked to the outhouse, and happened to see Douni walking in from under the corridor with a food basket, and when he saw Ye Xiaotian, he pursed his lips and smiled: "Wake up, I see that you are sleeping soundly, and I can't bear to call you, so I went to get breakfast for you." ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "What time is this, why did you get up?" ”

Dooni said: "It's already late, do you think it's still early, it's just that it's raining hard today, and you can't see the dawn." ”

Ye Xiaotian was taken aback and said, "It's already time, it's too bad, I just arrived in office, and I'm going to go to the government late." ”

Doni comforted: "You don't have to worry, the rain is very heavy today, our manor is built against the mountain, the front is low and the back is high, the water in the courtyard is still very deep, the flat land in the city can be imagined, and it will not be only Brother Xiao Tian who delayed the government today." ”

Ye Xiaotian went to the porch and looked out, the heavy rain was pouring down, and the rain flowing from the eaves was no longer like a string of beads, but poured down like a small waterfall, the water in the courtyard was really deep, and it was too late to drain it, and the most shallow place was going to have no feet and necks, Ye Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Xiaotian returned to the hall and sat down, Doni had already put breakfast on the table for him, Ye Xiaotian picked up the chopsticks and said to Doni: "Come, you don't need to call Yaoyao over today." It's just you and me, and I happen to have something to say to you. ”

The two sat down and ate breakfast, and Ye Xiaotian told Doni again what he said to the Yayan yesterday. As soon as Doni heard this, her eyebrows were overjoyed, and her pretty cheeks suddenly floated with two peach-like reds: "Brother Xiaotian, really? You're going to let my father's tribe move to Tixi? ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "Yes, let them migrate out of the deep mountains, I am afraid that they are not used to living on flat land all of a sudden, and besides, so many people, if they change their living habits all at once, they will not be able to guarantee their livelihood." So it's better to tell them to live in the mountains, but it's always good to be closer. ”

Doni picked up the rice, her two eyes were already smiling into crescents, and she said happily: "People are thinking that now that they have arrived in Tongren, it is far away from the village, and it is inconvenient to visit their parents, if they can move to Tixi, it will be very close, right?" ”

Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "Well, if you move to Tixi." It's not far from here, but I'm not here to make it easier for you to meet your father and mother, the main purpose. Or to have enough people nearby to protect me. ”

Doniden became nervous and asked, "What, does anyone want to be unfavorable to Brother Xiaotian?" ”

Ye Xiaotian waved his hand and said, "Not yet, but ...... Prevention is better than prevention. I mediated the Mercury Mountain Rebellion a few days ago. It was not very pleasant to quarrel with several major local tribes. Most of the local tribal leaders have an intricate relationship with the officials of Tongren Province.

This time, the Zhang family and the Dai family fought a life lawsuit, and I am afraid that both parties will not be very satisfied with my decision. If something really happens, it will be difficult to protect our whole family with only a dozen or so guards around me, and it will be safe to transfer some people to settle nearby. ”

As soon as she heard that Ye Xiaotian's life was at stake, Doni immediately nodded sternly. Ye Xiaotian is not only her man, but also the attendant of the Gu God she devoutly worships, whether it is for her personally or for the Gu Sect, the Venerable One is not allowed to slip up in the slightest.

Ye Xiaotian coughed and said, "Tixi is still a certain distance away from here after all. Therefore, I am also considering transferring more people to Tongren City. ”

Doni nodded again and again, and said, "That's good, that's good!" There must always be more people around you to be safe. ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "But it's not okay to arrange too many people in Tongren City, besides, I don't have any danger at the moment, just in case, if there are always some unidentified people dangling around, it will attract suspicion." The elders in our sect all have worldly relatives, right? ”

Doni said: "Of course, they also have brothers and sisters, even if they have been elders for many years, they still have many relatives among the tribes. Sometimes, they will also have a son from a relative's house to inherit the incense of his lineage. ”

Ye Xiaotian showed a slight smile in his eyes and said, "It's very good!" Then, let the Eight Great Elders choose one family from among their relatives and relatives, move to the foot of this East Mountain, and live in front of and behind my mansion. I'll help them find something to do locally, so they don't feel weird when they stay here for a long time. They are relatives of the elders, and there should be no problem in their loyalty. ”

Duo Ni said disapprerovingly: "Brother Xiao Tian is too worried, as long as it is said that it is to protect the Venerable, the people of more than 100 banners in Jiuzhai and Eighteen Mountains, none of them are unwilling to sacrifice their lives for the Venerable, they are all loyal people." ”

Ye Xiaotian said with a smile: "But the eight elders have worked hard, and this glory is given to their families first, so that others will not talk nonsense, otherwise it will be like the last time I repaired the house, I only need a few hundred people, but eight thousand people came at once, so I can't settle down." ”

Doni thought about it, and said with a smile: "What Brother Xiao Tian said is that you still think about it." ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Because of the heavy rain, with a reason, Ye Xiaotian was not busy going out with peace of mind, he ate breakfast and lasted for a while, and when the heavy rain stopped, he left the mansion and went to the mansion accompanied by the guards.

Along the way, they turned around and walked on relatively high ground, but they still stopped and stopped, very slowly. Many of the roads were already a sea of water, some people were holding sandbags in front of their homes, some people were scooping water out with clay pots, and some naughty children were sitting on large wooden basins, leisurely swimming the street as a small river.

From time to time, there will be an old earthen wall that has been soaked by the rain too much, and it will fall down with a bang, Hua Yunfei saw this, and couldn't help frowning: "This heavy rain, I'm afraid there will be many poor people who will collapse their houses and be homeless." ”

Ye Xiaotian looked at the stagnant water that had already reached the horse's belly. He nodded slightly.

The prefect's yamen was originally the Tusi Mansion, the foundation was relatively high, and the location of the Tusi Mansion was also in a higher position in the city, so when Ye Xiaotian walked on the street in front of the mansion, the water was not deep, and the horses moved much more briskly.

Ye Xiaotian rushed to the torture hall, took off his water boots, and poured out two boots of stagnant water, Mao Wenzhi walked over with his bare feet and handed over the official boots on his shoulders. Ye Xiaotian put on his socks and was about to put on his boots, when he saw Zhang Bin, the governor of the torture hall, hurriedly walk in.

As soon as Zhang Bin saw Ye Xiaotian, he said with joy: "The master of the official has arrived, the prefect has issued an order to summon the three classes and six rooms, and the chief officials of each department to meet you." ”

Ye Xiaotian put on a boot and asked, "Did the prefect say what happened?" ”

Zhang Bin shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of this." ”

Ye Xiaotian put on his boots and walked towards the prefect's main hall alone. When I arrived at the main hall, I saw that Dai Tongzhi, Li Shishi and others had arrived. Most of these people live in the center of the city or are closer to the government, which is more convenient than Ye Xiaotian, who lives at the foot of Dongshan.

What especially surprised Ye Xiaotian was that the female eunuch Zhou Yu Junting was also there, this female toast who was said to have never been in government affairs. Lately, I seem to be much more diligent. Ye Xiaotian sat down next to Li Li and asked in a low voice, "The prefect summoned me, is there anything important?" ”

Li Shi said lazily: "I heard that it was the prefect's own relatives who complained to the prefect, and when it rained heavily, it was a flood. It's inconvenient to get in and out, so I guess the adults summoned me for this matter. ”

Ye Xiaotian listened and nodded. The dredging of the river has something to do with household science and engineering, and it will not have anything to do with him, the magistrate of the torture hall, and he only needs to bring a pair of ears when he comes today. After a while, a person who looked like a staff master came out from behind the screen, stood still next to the official case, coughed and said, "The prefect has arrived." ”

All the officials stood up one after another, and saw Zhang Da Fat Man walking out slowly, and before he climbed the steps, he first stretched out his hand to hold the public case, moved his fat body up the steps, and turned to stand behind the public case. Everyone said, "I've seen Lord Fuzun!" ”

Zhang Fatzi nodded, looked at everyone with both hands, sighed, and groaned: "Why is it raining heavily, the Dragon King of the East China Sea is in tears, and the old dragon is crying and going back to the palace, but it just hurts me Zhang Duo!" ”

"......" Li Cheng, who was standing next to Ye Xiaotian, closed his mouth tightly, and the laughter that burst out of his mouth was stifled by him, and he suffocated it into a muffled snort.

It was the first time for Ye Xiaotian to participate in activities such as the big row of the government presided over by Master Zhang, and he didn't understand the style of this Zhang Governor's office, so he was stunned when he heard it: "What's the situation, as soon as you appear, you will have a set poem, could it be that Governor Zhang is going to start telling stories next?" ”

But seeing that Governor Zhang finished chanting this good poem that is not inferior to "the thousand-year-old iron tree does not bloom", he slowly sat down and sighed: "The dark river of this city was dug in the Song Dynasty during the reign of Shenzong, and it has been more than 500 years. ”

Ye Xiaotian said in his heart: "The culvert built during the Song Dynasty has been used for more than 500 years, and it can still be used now, which is already remarkable. ”

All the officials are silent, although the official structure here is the same as that of the Central Plains, but these officials are all large and small tribal leaders, and they are all financially self-financing, and they want to repair the river? It's a good thing, but who's responsible for the money? It's because no one wants to be the first bird.

Zhang Fatzi coughed and said, "The cost of dredging the river is, of course, paid by the government. Farmer seedlings! ”

Nong Xiaomiao, the secretary of the household department, immediately stepped forward, stood with his head down, and Zhang Fatzi said: "You can calculate how many silver taels are needed to dredge the rivers of the whole city, and how much labor is needed. ”

The man calculated for a long time, and arched his hand: "Go back to the prefect, calculate and pay two hundred taels of silver, which can be used as the cost of clearing and dredging." In addition, the repair of the river cannot be started at the same time in the whole city, otherwise all kinds of roads will be difficult to travel, which will inevitably cause all kinds of inconveniences. If the stasis is cleared section by section, 300 people will be required to work in each section of the river, so there is no need to make a big move and damage the people's strength. ”

When Zhang Fatzi heard that the amount of two hundred taels was still within the range he could accept, he generously said: "In that case, the engineering secretary ......."

Without waiting for Governor Zhang to read his name, the engineering secretary came out and said: "Lord Prefect, the city wall of Xicheng has collapsed in many places, and the personnel of this department are making every effort to repair it. In addition, the granary in the north of the city is also under construction, and the water conservancy project in Banpo Town outside the north is also in progress. ”

When Zhang Fatzi heard this, this granary was built for their Zhang family, and it could not be delayed. Sixty percent of the land in Banpo Town belongs to his Zhang family, and of course the water conservancy projects there cannot be affected, and the engineering officials must no longer be transferred.

Zhang Fatzi hesitated to look at everyone, and everyone immediately bowed their heads to avoid it, and Zhang Duo couldn't help but show an angry look. Yu Junting sat on the top, his handsome eyes glanced slightly, and when he saw Ye Xiaotianzheng, who only had two ears, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "Lord Prefect, it's better to leave this matter to Ye Tuiguan!" ”

: In the last three days of the month, I sincerely ask for monthly passes and recommended tickets!.
