Chapter 457: Bubble
Qingzhou.
In April, an ordinary small village near the Qingzhou River, Fairy Village.
The weather is close to the Dragon Boat Festival, and the heat is beginning to appear.
The anxious villagers have been busy picking zongzi leaves and making sachets, and the girls with dexterous hands have begun to play the colorful yarn to ward off poison and prepare realgar wine.
The hottest topic among the villagers is the upcoming annual dragon boat race.
This is the old custom of their neighboring villages, and they have to come to the Dragon Boat Festival every year.
It is not only to show the good sons of each village, but also to determine the order of water in the next year.
After all, there is only a small tributary of the Qingzhou River that flows through their villages.
In the summer, the hot weather, and the heaviest season of crop draft, the villages want to compete for the first place to divert water, but where is the enough?
If you want to say that this was not the case at the earliest, I heard from my grandparents that the water they had when they were young was still enough. It's just that since my father's generation, the river has been getting less and less every year.
What year is it not for the fight for water, and the head is broken and the blood is flowing?
Later, an old local county magistrate, seeing that it was really unpleasant, asked the elders of each village to sit together and discussed for a long time before agreeing on this method.
In this way, there is less blood in the fight, but the dragon boat race has become an annual event on the minds of the village heads.
To put it mildly, a bunch of country men who don't know half of the big characters are about to come up with the thirty-six strategies in the art of war. All kinds of wits and courage, full of tricks.
Today you put out a fake news, tomorrow I will make a surprise soldier.
Those who win are elated, but those who lose are not just depressed, they will be blamed by the whole village for a whole year!
Unless next year is a shame.
Last time, there was a village that was at the bottom for two consecutive years, but after the dragon boat race, the villagers collectively dismissed the village chief the next day, so that the whole family couldn't raise their heads all these years.
And in this case, this year it seems to be the turn of the fairy village.
But can the village chief be blamed for this?
In the past two years, there have been fewer young people in their village than in other villages. Last year, the village chief personally went into battle, and his eyes were red with a fight, but the result was still a little bit worse, and he was at the bottom.
And this year's youth and strength in Fairy Village are not as good as last year.
The news that there was a piece of dog-headed gold in Qingzhou River before attracted many restless people in the village to go to pan for gold and want to make a fortune.
Now they all know that it is fake, and it is a lie made up by His Royal Highness the King of Han to deceive people to open up wasteland.
But the family is the son of the emperor Laozi, and the world belongs to others. Even if you deceive the people, where can you reason?
The village chief of Fairy Village, Fan stared at the stream flowing through the village with bitterness and hatred, holding back his bad ideas, how to win in this year's dragon boat competition, and angry at the same time.
He blames His Highness the liar, and is angry with the stupid son of his family.
The dead boy was disobedient and secretly ran away with those gold diggers. Now it is detained on the bank of the Qingzhou River, which is really sad.
To say that these restless bastards deserve to be detained. Let them learn a long lesson, and only then will they know how to live in peace.
It's just worrying that the whole village is missing a lot of strong laborers when rowing dragon boats, how can this be good?
Village Chief Fan was scratching his head irritably, and suddenly, he noticed that something was wrong.
Why is the river level lower this year than last year?
He thought he had seen it wrong, so he rubbed his eyes and looked carefully, it was still so shallow!
Obviously, last year, he remembered that the water at this time could be as deep as the root of the thigh, why did it reach the knee position at this time? I wanted to take off my shoes and go down to compare, but suddenly I gave a strong slap on the shoulder, but Village Chief Fan didn't slap it into the stream.
"Daddy!"
When I turned my head, wasn't it the stupid son of his family? Still grinning and smirking, a fool!
"Dead boy! Scare Lao Tzu! ”
Village Chief Fan, who happened to take off his shoes, slapped his son twice. Out of his breath, the father began to worry again, "Why did you come back?" Don't run back, do you? If you get caught, it will affect the whole family! ”
His voice was very low, looking left and right, like a thief, "No one sees you, right?" Hurry up and hide, my family will get some money for you, and you can go to your sister's house to hide from the limelight for a few days. Oh, it's not good to bother your brother-in-law's family, so let him find a place for you to hide. ”
He was still worried, but his son was so anxious that he shouted.
"What am I hiding? Don't worry, Dad, I didn't run back. When I finished my work, His Highness let us go. ”
What does it mean?
Village Chief Fan looked confused.
The meaning is simple.
Doesn't Yu Liang want to treat everyone equally, the rich and the poor?
His Royal Highness the King of Han was worried for a few days, and suddenly he had an idea, and he remembered that Meiniang's smooth little brother charged different delivery fees according to the distance.
Therefore, he also formulated different punishments according to the distance from home of the young people who were detained.
Of course, it's light to be close, and heavy to be far.
Now, it's Yu Liang's turn to be aggrieved.
Because most of the civilians who really dared to come to Qingzhou River to pan for gold were nearby.
Only those greedy big families will organize the young and strong people in their families to come from all over the world.
How can a poor person run so far if he has no road guide and no road money?
In other words, those who can run from far away are really big!
Therefore, His Royal Highness, who has opened up his thinking, has become more "iron-faced and selfless" than Yu Liang.
Yu Liang just detained people to work, and His Royal Highness still has to record the case for people!
If you want to erase the black history, you have to work hard to get by.
Specifically, it is to cooperate with the government's water conservancy projects.
So civilians like Xiao Fan, before leaving, everyone pressed their handprints at the official yamen and recorded their labor.
Not much, fifteen days.
But if those who are far away, they will be miserable.
I heard that some people have been fined for months, and if they don't want to go back and forth and go back to their hometown to serve their sentences, they can also choose to work on the spot. It's just that the penalty period before and after this is added, and it is estimated that I don't want to go back this year.
After a year, when the fields are cleared, if you don't want them, there will be people who are willing to come and cultivate them.
The old masters of farming know that this kind of field, which has never been planted by our ancestors for generations, is extremely fertile, and the long crops are stronger than those in the other places.
Besides, since it has been cultivated with hard work, who is willing not to want it?
I'm afraid I won't be able to drive away.
And in order to fertilize the land, His Royal Highness also built a lot of latrines and accumulated a lot of fertilizer. With such a field and such deep ploughing and ploughing, you can know that there will be a good harvest when you think about it.
So in this way, Yu Liang's plan to muddy the water in this pool and make trouble for His Highness came to naught.
Not only has it become a bubble, but His Royal Highness has also used his own way to govern his body.
Doesn't Yu Liang want to be selfless?
Then His Highness simply sent him to be this wicked man.
The matter of comprehensive supervision and punishment must also be heavily punished.
It doesn't matter whose face it is, even if the emperor's relatives come, don't show mercy.
Treat everyone equally!
Yu Liang didn't expect that he had put himself in the crater.
If this errand is done, he can't say anything else, first of all, he has to offend the big gentry in these places, as well as the officials behind them!
