Chapter 140: Not a Simple Governor, Pingcang First!
The states and counties that pass south of the Tianjiang River, including Daizhou, Lingzhou, and Tongzhou, which pass north along the Ningjiang River, Zhou Bai can not stop.
When local officials and nobles invite banquets, he can also pass the buck one by one, and some can even be solved with a letter.
But when he arrives in Dingzhou, he must slow down, Bei'an and Pingcang are too small, and the vision is wide, and the whole Dingzhou is the foundation for him to win the crown in the future.
In the process of participating in the spring and palace examinations, people from all over the world gathered together, and most of them understood each other only at the state level.
For example, Zhou Bai is Dingzhou Xie Yuan, but he doesn't know that he is from Pingcang County, Bei'an County.
In the process of fighting for the dragon, the Qianlong princes who are recognized as recorded in the official history are at least the lords of a state.
Other heroes who divided one county, two counties and even half a state, even though they could be fierce for a while, but in the end they only opened the way for the "real dragon".
Even this true dragon is not the last true dragon, but just a dragon that dominates a state and can build a royal industry.
The so-called prosperity is also vigorous and sudden.
Zhou Bai will not leave easily when he returns to Dingzhou this time, he needs more prestige, and he wants the people of Dingzhou to know his name and recognize him.
Once the flag is raised in the future, people often choose to support people with greater and better reputations, and in the most difficult imperial examination, it is not difficult to become the first Jinshi Tianren in the second class, and it is not difficult for him to become famous.
The key is that Zhou Bode let the gentry and people of Dingzhou know that the heavenly people are also leaders who can bend down and come together with them, and even lead them to gain benefits and success.
So from the moment he stepped into Dingzhou County, the southernmost part of Dingzhou, Zhou Bai asked his followers on the boat to return to Pingcang to report first, and he gave up the waterway and went by land.
However, the Dingzhou government, which has long been watching the progress of his return to his hometown, will not be unaware.
Every time you go to a county, there must be a county order and a county to set up a banquet invitation, and gather the local heroes to see the demeanor of heaven and man, Zhou Bai is not refused.
He also took the initiative to visit local celebrities, exchange ideas and ideas, and repeatedly issued golden sentences, which became a popular word.
On the way, Zhou Bai did not forget to help some widows and lonely people, and the entanglement sponsored by the nobles of Shenjing City made him do good deeds.
The water vapor balance in the Tianyuan Realm was out of balance, and the Sea Dragon Kings on the other side of the boundless ocean finally broke through the limit after a period of time.
For a time, the water vapor of the entire realm converged towards the boundless ocean, and the coastline as a whole pushed forward by more than a thousand miles, even if the coastal people had moved inward in advance, there were still countless casualties.
Fortunately, the preparations made by the Heavenly Court in advance played a role, and at the first moment when the water vapor of the boundless ocean collapsed, all the water gods and dragon gods moved.
According to their own zones, they diverted the water vapor from inland rivers such as the Boundless Ocean and the Tianjiang River, and evacuated it evenly to other dry areas.
The ditches are all full, the wasteland becomes a lake, and the populated land is good at first, and it will try to avoid the rainfall, but it is difficult to escape the disaster of flooding later, and the summer harvest is reduced by nearly eighty.
With Zhou Bai's performance as the leader of the Dragon Clan's ancestral land, the amount of water vapor evacuation allocated to Dingzhou was really not high, and the Dragon King of Ningjiang tried his best to barely have ten sunny days in a month.
This is much better than other states and counties, which have been raining for months.
But even so, the rainy season in Dingzhou is longer than ever, and the grain production is also reduced.
Daxu has been three hundred and twenty-six years ago, the disadvantages of the end of various dynasties have long appeared, Dingzhou last year's heavy snow disaster was not easy to survive, and the result was a heavy rain that lasted for a long time.
The already difficult life is even worse, after many years of peace, families with savings may be able to support themselves, but many of the lowest Qiantou can't hold on.
So Zhou Bai not only did good deeds to help others, but also raised donations at various banquets, and helped all the way.
By the time he reached Dingzhou City, his good deeds had been known to the whole city.
Showmanship? Hypocrite? Soliciting hearts and minds?
Some people may not be used to it, but Zhou Bai practices it, but the people he helps are real and blameless.
On that day, Governor Lei Haomiao personally went out of the city to greet him, and he was accompanied not only by civil and military officials, but also by the people of the city.
They are all here to watch the Jinshi Heavenly People, the first in the second class, only one step away from flying directly in the daytime, which can be described as a living immortal.
In the Daxu Dynasty, there were not a few Jinshi in Dingzhou, and the last second-class Jinshi was thirty years ago, and they were only ranked forty-five.
Of course, in addition to watching the excitement, they also came to welcome Zhou Bai.
Sure enough, it was Dingzhou's own baby, even if he was a celestial, he still hadn't forgotten his hometown father, and he began to help the victims as soon as he came back.
In the face of the crowd and extremely enthusiastic cheers, Zhou Bai could only salute again and again.
However, the governor came to greet him, and he had his own soldiers to support him, so he didn't let the excited people rush to Zhou Bai.
Thirty years have passed, and the people of Dingzhou have almost forgotten the appearance of the last celestial jinshi, and there are Jinshi every year, but they are separated from the sky.
"Gongzi Zhou Bai is really extraordinary, I think he is the reincarnation of Wenquxing, and he can stimulate the literary movement for me Dingzhou."
"It's a good person, if only he could be the official of our Dingzhou, so that we can also enjoy happiness."
"Zhou Gongzi is a person from Heavenly Court, destined to be in the immortal class, where can he be a mortal official."
"Governor Lei is also good, he is a good official, you see how much you respect talents, and you actually welcome them in person."
"Zijian, congratulations!" Lei Haomiao saw that Zhou Bai had arrived, and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile, showing a frank welcome gesture.
Strangely, the governor of a state, even in the face of heaven and man, would not be able to do this to such an extent.
Then Zhou Bai saw the people around him, and also praised Lei Haomiao, and knew that this was someone who was trying to win people's hearts.
"The governor is tormented by the lower officials, how can there be a reason for the third-grade officials to welcome the seventh-grade junior officials, don't roast me on the fire."
Hearing Zhou Bai's words, Lei Haomiao took Zhou Bai's hand and deliberately said loudly: "Where is the twist, aside from the identity of heaven and man, Zijian pointed out how much of a mistake I made this time, I am ashamed!" ”
"But I hope you can understand that the rain disaster came too suddenly, and the manpower and material resources of the state government can only give priority to the main population areas and grain-producing areas, so that fewer people can starve to death."
These words were quickly spread by the surrounding crowd, and Zhou Bai keenly found that there were many people in it who could repeat them aloud at one time.
He still didn't understand that the Governor of Lei was not welcoming him for nothing, but wanted to use him to do good deeds and increase the authority of the Governor and the governor.
"You've done well enough, and the lower rank is just icing on the cake." He echoed as he carefully recalled the thunder of his memory.
Sun Yucheng in Dingdong, Lu Ding in Dingxi, and even the Zhao family father and son in Pingcang County seem to have a deeper memory than Lei Haomiao.
In that troubled world, all kinds of heroes and hidden dragons in Dingzhou competed to appear, and everyone made a lot of noise.
Regarding Lei Haomiao, the governor, Zhou Bai could only reluctantly summarize two major events.
The first was to take out the military ration bag and order the cavalry to raid the rear of the enemy army and achieve a great victory; The second is to set up a Hongmen banquet to trap and kill the heads of several major families in Dingzhou County, and then forcefully raid the house to eliminate the opposition.
What else is there?
A flash of inspiration flashed in Zhou Bai's mind, Dingzhou City had never fallen until he was reborn, and the core Dingzhou County had never been damaged.
Sun Yucheng and Lu Ding raised troops to form a system, and they made a huge noise, and they all wanted to be called governors, and Lei Haomiao has always sat firmly on Mount Tai.
And at that time, he remembered that there was a small piece of news that in a short time, the passage between the thirty-three days and the mortal world would be weakened, and Heavenly Court could directly send troops to support.
"The governor has an order, and the state government will release relief grain and distribute it to all counties!"
"The governor has an order not to drive out the displaced people, and to increase the cash-for-work!"
"The governor has an order, and the year-end annual examination is based on the disaster relief of county officials!"
Just as Zhou Bai strode into the city gate cave with Lei Haomiao, the scribes read out loudly behind him, and a huge Xinfa Di newspaper was posted on the billboard.
"It's not too late to make amends, you say yes, Zijian." Lei Haomiao also turned around at the right time and smiled.
"This is good governance."
In his previous life, he seemed to have done nothing, but he only knew that he was shrinking into the city, and then he contacted Lei Haomiao's current practice, this governor was not simple!
Zhou Bai was quite emotional, but he said: Those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements.
That night, under the organization of Lei Haomiao, Zhou Bai participated in his welcome banquet and fundraising party.
From Zhou Bai's private behavior, it was officially transformed into an official behavior.
I don't know if he noticed that something was wrong with Zhou Bai's behavior, or what, Lei Haomiao actually tentatively wanted to give Zhou Bai an official.
The Dingzhou border patrol envoy is the same as Zhou Bai's Hanlin editorial, and it is also a kind of Qingliu official position, but he has real power.
In addition to having the same power as the Imperial History, it can also set up investigation soldiers and horses to patrol smugglers and thieves in border areas.
How could Zhou Bai accept this, and it showed that he really seemed to have some ideas in this day, so he decisively and sternly refused.
This decisive performance made Lei Haomiao feel a lot more relieved, and the next day he personally sent Zhou Bai out of the city, and sent a small team of silver Jiaojun to escort him.
The tall and mighty scenery carried Zhou Bai galloping in front, and the silver Jiaojun rode a Jiaojun to follow closely behind, galloping all the way to the north.
The next Ruinan County and Longfeng County, as Zhou Bai expected, there was no room for him to do good deeds alone and become famous.
So he simply ate two meals and continued on the road without any further complications.
Lei Haomiao is now just out of the instinct of the superior to fill the loopholes in governance, and he doesn't really see what kind of dragon carp is hidden.
When Zhou Bai officially stepped into the boundary of Bei'an County, he clearly felt that the aura of the Second Realm following behind him had disappeared.
The Doge's Palace, the study, candlelit.
"Your Excellency the Governor, that celestial man has entered Bei'an, and according to the offerings, he should only have one realm." A close advisor reported to Lei Haomiao.
Lei Hao crouched in front of the eucalyptus, continued to deal with the accumulated disaster and official duties, and said without raising his head: "Well, the heavens and men should divide the cultivation path in peace, even if they support the family, they can't go too far." ”
"Do you want to keep an eye on it? Such an excellent person, aren't you afraid that he is a hidden dragon? The advisor burned the information in his hand and continued to ask.
The word Qianlong may have touched Lei Haomiao's keen nerves, and he put down the official document and said sharply: "Hmph, from ancient times to the present, you can see that Jackie Chan has cultivation?" Your Majesty is rich all over the world today, what spirit stone pill is not there, why don't you go and ask the immortals? ”
"The domineering of dragon qi, you and I can't imagine it, if he is really a hidden dragon, he will just break a big trouble."
"The power is all invested in finding the real hidden dragon, as for Zhou Bai, even if he has any ideas, it will be difficult to become a climate in Bei'an for a while."
……
Bei'an County, this is really Zhou Bai's territory, as soon as he entered, some clansmen came to greet him.
And he can see the shadow of Xuanyi Wei from time to time, of course, it is not that the Xuanyi guards are unqualified, and they were discovered by Zhou Bai at a glance.
Instead, his training methods and means were all taught by Zhou Bai, and with his strong divine sense, it was naturally easy to see.
The scene of the Bei'an County Government welcoming Zhou Bai is much smaller than the state government, but most of them are sincere.
This is true of the people, and so are the county officials.
There have been a few celestial people in Dingzhou, but none of them are from Bei'an County, it is too young, and it has only been established for a hundred years.
The first Jinshi belonging to Bei'an County, or the first in the second class, how glorious.
As a villager, which is not with honor.
A state is too big, and it may not be very suitable to call it a township party, but Bei'an County is suitable, and Pingcang County is more suitable.
In order to meet the villagers' idea of getting involved in the literary movement, Zhou Bai donated his reading manuscripts for this purpose, which were placed in Bei'an County School and Pingcang County School respectively.
This is not nonsense, and the presence of Jinshi manuscripts can promote the rise of the literary movement of public schools.
Within a few years, the number of scholars will increase dramatically, and even as long as there are students reading in front of the manuscript, they will have the literary support.
After Jiazi, the paper will not be corrupted, and the ink will still be as new.
Zhou Bai, the county seat and the county seat, will settle down, and social banquets are one thing, and he also has to make suggestions to the county magistrate.
Fortunately, the county order has changed, but the good old man county Shouyin Mu has not changed.
The celestial who has just returned from the first place in the second class naturally has weight in his speech.
His suggestion is to stop flooding and drain the endlessly, and instead put water storage on the agenda.
A great flood will be followed by a great drought!
Under the imbalance of the rules of water, frequent rainfall is not only the heavenly court sharing the water vapor, but also the heaven and the earth overdrawing the future rainfall.
In a year or a few years, the world will face a major drought.
According to the reminder of the Dragon King of the Ningjiang River on the road, this intensive rainfall will stop in the near future, and it is Zhou Bai who gave such an "absurd" suggestion.
What? The first wave of invasion of the Qingxu Realm, plus the price of a saint artifact, only caused the Tianyuan Realm to rain heavily for more than three months?
Maybe even those who know the inside story can't believe that it's so easy.
But if the level is higher, you will see that a real Dead Sea has appeared in the Death Desert, you will see that Daxu has been affected almost everywhere, and you will see that the Heavenly Court is doing its best to clear the remnants of the Dao weapon......
Shouyinmu of Bei'an County also felt that this suggestion was a bit absurd, but in view of the fact that Zhou Bai had already sent a message to fight floods and prevent flooding, he still reluctantly agreed to store water as much as possible.
The new Pingcang County Decree prevented the county government from holding a welcome ceremony, saying that it was a celestial person and did not belong to the official sequence of the imperial court.
This is the person who clearly expressed hostility, and Zhou Bai's suggestion was not spoken, so he could only wait for the family to understand the details.
The red silk hung for ten miles, and the people, including the Zhou people, almost all the townships went out to greet them.
It is expected from afar, because of the return of Zhou Bai, the luck of the Zhou family has risen sharply, and there are red clouds over the ancestral house.
Its luck is prosperous, as if it is the first among the clans of Pingcang.
