The use of the army to dig canals to divert water for the people was an experience that Li Qinzai had learned from his previous life.

Although the army of the Tang Dynasty did not have the concept of serving the people at all, they belonged to the army of the Tang Dynasty, and they would not admit that they were the people's soldiers, but Li Qinzai still ordered in the form of a military order to turn an army into labor and put it into the people.

When it comes to disaster relief, every labor force is precious.

The peasants watched this wolf-like army unarmoured, copying all kinds of tools and starting to dig ditches without saying a word, and after being stunned, they immediately thanked Li Qinzai.

The old man took his hand and wept and muttered about his gratitude, and the young people of the village quickly joined the team digging the ditch.

The women and children were not idle, they went up to the mountains to collect wild vegetables, and each family offered the only little game that was left, and boiled it into a thick broth with the wild vegetables.

The simple and honest farmers were grateful, and took the trouble to salute and thank every soldier who participated in the digging of the ditch, and the soldiers gradually became stunned from the initial laziness.

Seeing those children of a few years old clumsily carrying water and staggering it to the soldiers, everyone's cold and hard hearts seemed to become soft.

The soldiers were originally border troops under the jurisdiction of the Ningshuo Governor's Office, but because they were not far from the state, they were urgently transferred here by the imperial court military department to dig ditches.

Originally, the soldiers were very incomprehensible, they were just soldiers who went into battle to kill the enemy, and the duty of the army did not help the people dig ditches for disaster relief.

However, seeing the grateful expressions of the people, the women and children wiped their tears and bowed their waists, as if this was the only way to repay the kindness of the soldiers.

The atmosphere in the army has changed imperceptibly.

The soldiers suddenly realized that it was not so difficult to accept to help the people do something.

Everyone is a government soldier, they are all from various villages, and their roots are actually ordinary peasant people, although they eat military food, but they can feel the disaster in their eyes after all.

Li Qinzai watched with a smile as the soldiers were busy, and a cloud of smoke and dust rose from the construction site, but in just half an hour, the ditches in the village had extended in all directions, gradually extending in the direction of the Fen River.

It is worthy of the army, the home of 10,000 people working together, and the progress is indeed fast.

The old man in the village knelt down and bowed to him tremblingly, and was quickly supported by Li Qinzai's eyes.

"Great benefactor! You have saved the people of these ten miles and eight towns, and I really don't know how to repay it......" The old man burst into tears.

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "The old man is not polite, this is my business." ”

The old man said: "Last time I heard the benefactor say, you are an official in the city of Bingzhou, I don't know if you can reveal your surname, we will set up an immortal tablet in the ancestral hall for you, and offer incense every day, praying that God will give you blessings and longevity, and live a long life." ”

Li Qinzai shook his head: "My name is Li Qinzai, I am the assassin who has just taken office in Bingzhou, and I came to Bingzhou to deal with the drought on the order of the Son of Heaven. ”

The old man and the people around him knelt down again: "It turned out to be Li Tingshi, and the state is fortunate, and Li Min is fortunate to meet the blue sky." ”

Helped up the old man, but couldn't stop other people, Li Qinzai had to take a bow for life, and said with a wry smile: "The ditch will be dug before the autumn harvest, this year's harvest is not good, the Son of Heaven has issued an order to exempt all farmers in the state from paying taxes, after the autumn harvest, I will also raise food to help everyone tide over the difficulties." ”

All the farmers were overjoyed, and they knelt down three times in the direction of Chang'an, praising the benevolence, righteousness and kindness of the Son of Heaven.

Li Qinzai hugged the old man, his voice was low but firm: "Don't worry, the old man, this year is indeed not easy, but I will do everything I can to help you survive, I just hope that no matter how difficult it is, you will not leave your hometown, after all, it is not as good as your homeland, I believe that the government will properly help the people." ”

After looking at the construction site in full swing, Li Qinzai called the lieutenant who led the troops, handed him the drawings he had drawn, and ordered him to dig ditches according to the drawings, all the way to the Fen River, and bring the river water to various villages.

After the instructions, Li Qinzai returned to Bingzhou City with his subordinates.

On the way back, Liu Assi couldn't help but hug his fist at Li Qinzai: "Fifth Shaolang's move is immeasurably meritorious and has accumulated great virtue." From now on, every meter and one millet eaten by the people in the state will be given by the five young men. ”

Liu Assi was full of reverence, he really admired Li Qinzai, he had followed Li Qinzai before, Liu Asi had also done a lot of things, whether it was beating people or setting fires, there were not many things that belonged to people.

However, this time, Liu Asi really felt admired.

Digging ditches to divert water, repairing reservoirs and solid embankments, from ancient times to the present, are great merits, by the local people to set up ancestral halls, for the immortal tablet is not too much.

"Hold it away, don't praise me, as soon as you praise me, I'll float, and I can't help but want to do some bastard things to neutralize, otherwise I always feel weird in my heart." Li Qinzai rode on his horse, squinted and sighed.

Liu Ah Si grinned: "The fifth young man wants to do a bastard thing, the villain must help you do it properly, and he is willing to accompany you to do the bastard." ”

Li Qinzai blinked and said, "Why don't you ...... You gathered all the grain merchants in Bingzhou City, let them line up, stretched out their faces, and I pumped down the line with the soles of my shoes, enjoying the silky smoothness, how pleasant. ”

Liu Ah Si actually took it seriously, immediately hugged his fists, and said: "Wait a minute, the villain will do it, and let the fifth young man enjoy the silkiness within two hours." ”

Just about to hit the horse and move forward, Li Qinzai grabbed the reins and sighed: "You people live too rigidly, you can't hear the truth or falsehood......

"If I really have this Yaxing, what kind of grain merchant will be smoking, and let the Qinglou women in the whole city pout in front of me, and I will go all the way down, wouldn't it be more pleasant?"

Liu Asi was puzzled: "This ...... I'm afraid it's a little hurtful, Wu Shaolang, please think twice. ”

"You're in better health than me, so let the grain merchants strip naked and pout in a row, and you help me go all the way down?"

Liu Asi's old face darkened: "Qinglou woman, yes." The grain merchants pouted in a row, no! Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated. ”

…………

It was already evening when they returned to Bingzhou City, and before they arrived at the Assassin's Mansion, they saw hundreds of people stopped at the city gate.

Before taking office and assassinating Bingzhou, Li Qinzai saw the grand scene of crowds on the streets of Bingzhou for the first time.

Unfortunately, the people came for him, and apparently they were not good.

Hundreds of people knelt on both sides of the street, and when they saw Li Qinzai and his subordinates entering the city, the people touched their heads to the ground one after another, and some old people, women, and children even wept and wailed bitterly.

Li Qin got off the horse, and his face suddenly turned cold: "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Asi and his subordinates were nervous, and immediately surrounded Li Qinzai in the center, Liu Asi held down the handle of the knife and shouted: "Dare to stop the official driver, aren't you afraid to ask for the crime?" ”

An old man kept kowtowing and cried bitterly: "Assassin Shi asked the grain merchant Zhang Cunjin yesterday, and today the price of grain in the city's grain shops has risen to 50 wen per liter of millet rice. ”

Li Qinzai's face turned blue instantly, and a surge of anger swirled in his chest.
