Chapter 489: The Prefect is nothing
Although Wu Zhen felt that He Fengyu and Fang Hubin were just messing around.
As a result, he was besieged by the villagers of Zhoujia Village.
In a bad situation, these two guys simply lied about the military situation.
so that I can save them in the first place.
However, they are disciples of King Zhu Han after all.
No matter what, on the surface, you still have to get by after all.
Therefore, Wu Zhen still pretended to ask: "Mr. He, Mr. Fang, did the two of you really find a water source?"
Before He Fengyu could speak, Fang Hubin was already extremely excited: "Lord Wu, I am fortunate not to be dishonored, my senior brother has finally found the water source after more exploration."
"As long as you put a little effort into watering the surrounding fields, there is absolutely no problem."
Hearing this, Wu Zhen didn't say anything, and the people in Zhoujia Village had already let out a buzzing sound of discussion.
"Bah, these monsters are really thick-skinned, and they are embarrassed to say that they have found water."
"Lord Prefect, don't be fooled by these monsters, they're not looking for water at all."
The patriarch of Zhoujia Village also said tremblingly: "Lord Prefect, please be the master of our Zhoujia Village!"
said that, it was still trembling and expensive.
Even if this clan elder is just the most ordinary farmer.
But in this era, people in their forties and fifties are already considered old, and it is really rare to live to be seventy or eighty.
Don't look at Wu Zhen, the prefect of the high and powerful position, but if this old man suddenly gets excited or something when he speaks, there are three long and two short in front of him......
Although it is not a big trouble, it is enough for Wu Zhen to be upset for a long time.
"The elderly don't have to be like this." Although Wu Zhen responded in his heart, he secretly scolded this old man for relying on the old and selling the old.
But on the surface, he didn't dare to slack off.
hinted at the person next to him and went to help the patriarch up.
At the same time, he made a majestic appearance: "Everyone, please rest assured, since this mansion is here, it will definitely make decisions for all the villagers, and will never let go of a bad person."
Hearing Wu Zhen's words, the people of Zhoujia Village were extremely excited.
Zhang Daxian looked like those people on the surface, looking grateful, as if Wu Zhen, the prefect, was really here to make decisions for the people.
But in fact, I don't think so.
has been the head of the shop for most of his life, and he knows too well the twists and turns of these officials on the surface.
Wu Zhen said this very beautifully, what is the decision for the people, what does not let go of a bad person.
But the question is, who are the bad guys?
In the eyes of those people, he Zhang Daxian is a bad person, and He Fengyu and Fang Hubin are not good people......
No!
Presumably, none of them are good monsters.
But in Wu Zhen's eyes, this is not the case at all.
Although they have never been taken seriously by the prefect.
But in the face of these ordinary people, they can barely be regarded as their own people.
As for He Fengyu and Fang Hubin, they have a teacher.
If necessary, Wu Zhen, the prefect, can sacrifice them without hesitation to protect He Fengyu and Fang Hubin.
But no matter what the situation is, it's good to listen to Wu Zhen's words, if it is serious, it will be lost.
Unlike Zhang Daxian, the people of Zhoujia Village don't understand these twists and turns.
Although in this era, the imperial court has little credibility in the eyes of the people.
However, the fact that a prefect like Wu Zhen came to the people in person was quite a great thing for them.
Not to mention, Wu Zhen was so kind to them.
The people were even more excited.
Wu Zhen was speechless now: "It's a monster again."
Zi is silent, strange and confused, do you know?
Youkai or something, how can it exist?
It is these fools in the mountain village who will believe He Fengyu's lies.
Wu Zhen didn't understand, why did these people believe in his words so much?
Now is not the time to break these up, Wu Zhen is more concerned about He Fengyu Whether the so-called water source is true or false.
Sharp eyes, in He Fengyu and Fang Hubin.
After all, he is the prefect of one party, and Wu Zhen, who is in a high position, naturally has a momentum of not being angry and arrogant.
The reason why he seemed approachable before, it was only because with Wu Zhen's identity, he didn't need to use the majesty of his official position to oppress people for a long time.
In many cases, they are even very kind to those who are inferior.
It is precisely because of this that there is a saying that the king of Hades is good at seeing little ghosts.
But this doesn't mean that Wu Zhen is really the kind of good man who has no temper.
is really such a good person, and it is impossible to sit in the position of the prefect.
So once Wu Zhen really puts on his face and puts on official authority, it will be quite scary.
He Fengyu is okay, an honest person like Fang Hubin, suddenly saw this scene, and his legs trembled a little.
Although he has seen Zhu Han many times, he can be regarded as a knowledgeable person.
However, because I am older, I have some habits in my bones that are really not so easy to change.
"Big ...... Big big, big adults...... We. ”
Wu Zhen's voice was terrifying: "Mr. Fang, this official wants to hear your truth, have you really found a water source?"
"This matter is related to the safety of all the people in my Datong, and it is not something that can be joked about casually."
"If you can't find it, the official can't force it, after all, there is not much water in the whole territory of Datong Mansion now."
"Even the water level of the Yuhe River is more than two-thirds lower than in the past."
"In such a situation, it is not unforgivable to find water."
"However, if you know that there is none, but you still want to make something out of nothing, it is a bit deceitful."
Wu Zhen's words were hard and soft, which could be regarded as giving Zhu Han enough face.
If He Fengyu and Fang Hubin were not Zhu Han's disciples, just because the two of them lied about the military situation, Wu Zhen would have dragged them out and cut them down, and they still needed to talk so much nonsense to them?
It's just that Wu Zhen couldn't have imagined that these two disciples of His Royal Highness really had the ability to find water.
After all, the knowledge that both sides have is not in the same era at all.
Originally, he was still very frightened of Du Fang Hubin, but after hearing Wu Zhen's words, he calmed down.
The originally flustered look suddenly disappeared, and his back suddenly straightened, like a sharp sword, straight to the sky: "Lord Prefect, the two of us are not lying, we did find a water source."
Wu Zhenren is blinded, what is the situation?
These two guys, do they understand what the current situation is going on?
He looked at the face of His Royal Highness the King of England, gave them opportunities again and again, and helped them turn around again and again.
As long as they get off the donkey, he can make up any excuse to take them away.
Wu Zhen thinks that he has done his best, but he can't stand these two guys, he really doesn't know what to do.
It's all at this point, and you dare to lie.
Good!
Since they dared to die, Wu Zhen buried it.
He Wu Zhentang, the prefect of Datong, was sent to follow the two Bai Ding to find a water source.
Although nominally, Wu Zhen is the leader of this matter, as long as people who are not blind can see that He Fengyu and Fang Hubin are the ones who really say it.
The dignified prefect, listen to the leaders of the two white dings.
Even if there is a reason for it, even if there are various reasons in it, it is impossible for Wu Zhen to have no anger in his heart.
It's just that he did take a wrong step, so he had to act according to the orders of King Zhu Han.
But this doesn't mean that He Fengyu and Fang Hubin can do whatever they want.
Just use him, the prefect of Datong, as a gunman.
The anger in Wu Zhen's heart completely exploded at this moment.
"Good! Since the two gentlemen said that they had found water, then the house is going to see and see how the two gentlemen, in such a arid place, conjured up a water source out of thin air! ”
Wu Zhen was really angry, otherwise, if He Fengyu and Fang Hubin were really just talking nonsense, it would have a great impact on him.
It's just that what surprised Wu Zhen was that after he said this, He Fengyu and Wu Zhen seemed to be secretly relieved.
This situation made Wu Zhen's heart suddenly shocked, and he secretly speculated in his heart: "What does this mean, why aren't these two people panicked at all?" Could they really be able to find water? ”
This idea had just risen in Wu Zhen's heart, and he was suppressed by himself.
It's absolutely impossible.
The current Datong Mansion, even if you grab a handful of soil by the river, it is maddening, not to mention the fields far away from the river beach.
The reason why the seedlings here are still alive is because the people of Zhoujia Village braved the scorching sun and went to the edge of the Yuhe River to carry water for irrigation, so that they could have the current results.
This is also the reason why the people of Zhoujia Village were so angry when they found out that they were going to seal the fields.
Even this farmland that is about to die is watered by dragging their tired bodies to the river every day to fetch water.
Wu Zhen's words caused some riots among the people of Zhoujia Village.
"Your Excellency, don't take their word for it."
"Yes, my lord, it is impossible for these monsters to find a water source at all, they are just performing some kind of demon magic."
"If there is water here, how can the dealer die?"
"If I could get water here, I'd eat all the fertilizer in the field on the spot."
If Zhu Han is here, Gao Gao will find out the guy who said this to see if he can really fulfill his promise.
This is not the time of the future, and there are many chemical fertilizers.
At this time, there was only one kind of compost used, the legendary Yoneda Ko.
When the time comes, we'll see if this guy really knows how to eat.
Fortunately, Zhu Han is not here, and no one is competing with this kind of person at this time.
Wu Zhen said in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, please rest assured, with the presence of this official, you will definitely not let these monsters do whatever they want."
"However, since these monsters dare to say that they can find a water source, they might as well give it a try."
"If it fails, there is no loss to our Zhoujia Village."
"Wouldn't it be a good thing if it succeeded?"
The dignified prefect said so, and after the people of Zhoujia Village looked at each other for a while, they didn't dare to raise any objections.
Even the patriarch of Zhoujia Village hesitated and said: "Since this is the case, the people of my Zhou family will all rely on the prefect."
Wu Zhen's performance in this drought seems to be quite stretched.
But this really can't be completely blamed on Wu Zhen, in this era, the resistance to natural disasters is so fragile.
Before the drought in Datong Mansion, Wu Zhen's official reputation had always been good.
In fact, the local daimyo officials of this era have all caught up with the good times.
With Zhu Han, a traverser, the overall productivity of Daming has always been improving rapidly.
Moreover, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, it has never stopped expanding.
At this time, the daimyo officials were like pigs standing on the tuyere.
As long as they are not real idiots, they don't even need to be very capable to make a lot of political achievements.
Because Daming has been developing as a whole, the quality of life of the people is naturally getting better day by day.
This is an overall improvement, and has little to do with the ability of a particular official to govern a local area.
It is nothing more than that the officials with strong ability govern a little better, and the officials with poor ability govern a little bit worse.
Therefore, Wu Zhen's reputation in Datong Mansion is really quite good.
After he spoke, the patriarch of Zhoujia Village also directly stated: "I am willing to listen to the instructions of the prefect."
The other people from Zhoujia Village also nodded.
"I don't believe in those monsters, but I believe in the prefect."
Another person whispered: "I'm afraid that the prefect has also been deceived by those monsters."
However, the voice of doubt soon disappeared without a trace.
In the absence of despair, ordinary people will try their best to avoid conflicts with officials.
After pacifying the people of Zhoujia Village, Wu Zhendi's attention returned to He Fengyu and Fang Hubin.
"Okay, two gentlemen, now let the house see how the two of you got the water."
This is the first time that Wu Zhen has shown the pride of a scholar and a scholar in front of the two of them.
That kind of arrogance and contempt, even a relatively sluggish person like Fang Hubin can feel it.
Originally, Fang Hubin and Wu Zhen still had a good impression.
After all, the dignified prefect was so polite to them.
Fang Hubin, who was originally an ordinary person, avoided some feelings of being taken seriously.
It doesn't matter what else is, but Fang Hubin is very dissatisfied with Wu Zhen's attitude at this time.
Their skills are all inherited from His Royal Highness King Zhu Han.
Although there are many things, it was not Zhu Han himself who taught them.
But this knowledge comes from His Royal Highness after all.
It's just that what they learned, that is, questioning His Royal Highness.
The King of England not only gave them shelter, but also gave them the ability to settle down.
In their hearts, it is like a god.
Even a prefect like Wu Zhen will never allow him to be one of His Royal Highnesses.
"Please calm down, and we'll show you how." Fang Hubin was neither humble nor arrogant.
It was as if the prefect of Datong was not the high-ranking prefect in front of him, but just an ordinary person.
