Volume 11 Heavenly Wind and Troubled Times Chapter 785 Disasters turn into crops
The Mandala Empire was unified, and the Qin Ming Legion was merged into the Immortal Bird Legion, and the Immortal Bird Legion became the only military force in Mandala. This result came so suddenly, when everyone was waiting for the duel between Hu Wei and Qin Ming, such a news suddenly exploded in the hearts of countless people like thunder.
The Wave City, the headquarters of the Legion of the Immortals. Hu Wei was thinking about it. After the unification of Mandala, Hu Wei moved the headquarters of the legion to Langtian, although the imperial capital is good, it is not a place that Hu Wei likes, and Langtian is the basic place of the Immortal Bird Legion.
Unification, there is also the fear of unification.
With the Undead Bird Legion becoming the only military force in the Mandala Empire, Hu Wei, the master of the Undead Bird Legion, suddenly felt a lot more pressure on his body, and it was no longer as easy as before.
How to manage a country, Hu Wei has never gone to school, let alone a teacher to teach him. The main generals at all levels of the Immortal Bird Legion are also mostly born bitterly, so they don't understand!
If you don't understand, you can learn slowly, and now Hu Quan has a headache for another matter. With the Legion of the Undead Birds becoming the sole military force of the Mandala Empire, the call for him to establish himself as king has come and gone.
Whether it is the outside world or the insiders of the legion, they all earnestly hope that Hu Wei can be crowned king, and even the five ladies of Hongye and Ximen Yufeng talk about this from time to time.
Crowned king, this is Hu You's ambition to come to Tianfeng Continent, at that time, he had nothing, and he thought very rashly that he would definitely be able to be crowned king in this land. But now, when his dream can become a reality at any time, he hesitates again.
Whether to be crowned king or not, Hu Wei himself can't make up his mind.
Headaches, really headaches.
"Daddy. Yaya pushed the door in and ran to Hu Yu's side.
"Well, baby, is there something wrong?" Hu Wei picked up the girl and sat down on the table in front of him.
Yaya looked at Hu Wei with big eyes, blinked, and asked, "Are you going to be the emperor?"
Hu Wei frowned slightly, even Yaya knew about this.
"I don't know yet, what do you think?" Hu Wei pinched Yaya's little face and asked, "Do you want me to be the emperor?"
Yaya shook her head and said, "Yaya doesn't know either." ”
The little girl looked distressed.
Hu Wei smiled, he only felt relaxed when he talked to Yaya about this topic.
Regarding whether or not to be crowned king, at least seventy percent of the generals in the military hope that Hu Wei will be crowned king. Hu Wei understood that in their hearts, they had fought for so long, wasn't it just for the final separation. Hu Wei was crowned king, and they were the founding fathers. I was glorious and wealthy, and his status was illustrious.
When is it now, is it really the time to be crowned?
Hu Wei shook his head, he had always been smart and this time he had no idea. Emperor, the lord of a country, how many people in the world can withstand such a position? For this position, brothers can kill each other, fathers and sons can turn against each other, and husbands and wives can have different dreams. If you have power, you can have a qiē, and the emperor is the ultimate embodiment of thousands of powers, dreams!
Why hesitate?
Hu Wei himself can't say clearly, anyway, from the bottom of his heart, he feels that it shouldn't be like this. Every time he thought of the king, he couldn't help but mōmō his own head, his own head, could he really wear such a big hat?
After changing his clothes, Hu Wei left the Shuai Mansion. Now he really wants to find someone to talk to, Qin Ming is a good candidate, but he can't speak anymore. Qin Ming finally chose to freeze and give himself a chance. At this time, he had been frozen on the top of the Great Snow Mountain, and unless Hu Wei could really find the antidote, he would never have the possibility to speak again.
Three months after the end of the war, the streets of Langtian have regained popularity. Some people say that the common people are forgetful, and when the war is over, they will forget the ground of the war and return to their original life. In fact, where is this they forget, this is their life, otherwise, what can they do?
casually walked into a tavern, and Hu Wei asked for two pots of burning knives. This wine is exactly what Hu Wei needs. I poured a big mouthful, it was hot, down my throat, and straight into my stomach, I couldn't tell whether it was comfortable or painful.
"The wine enters the bowels and turns into lovesick tears. Are you out of love?" an old man, sitting opposite Hu Wei, said happily: "Invite my old man to have a drink, and I will relieve you of Hongchen's troubles." ”
Hu Wei smiled: "My troubles, you can't help it." ”
Having said that, Hu Wei still pushed one of the bottles of wine in front of the old man. ,
The old man was not polite, and grabbed it and drank it all in one go.
"Good wine, burning knives, sure enough, it's my favorite. The old man dropped the bottle and laughed. Many drinkers looked at him in surprise, but he didn't even pay attention.
"Okay, now that we've drunk the wine, let's talk about it. The old man looked Hu Wei up and down, and said, "Seeing that your brows are tightly locked, there must be something on your mind." ”
Hu Wei smiled and smiled, without words. He has also been in the rivers and lakes for thirteen years, and he knows that the old man is talking nonsense. Hu Wei used to do this kind of thing often, and when he played to the extreme, he could unconsciously clean up all the things in the other party's heart, and then the next step was how to use words to get money from the other party's pocket.
"Am I not right?" the old man pulled the rags on his body and said confidently: "I am an old man, I know astronomy, geography, and people and ......."
"Drinking. Hu Wei pushed another bottle in front of the old man. This kind of similar words,
He really didn't want to hear it anymore.
The old man also saw that Hu Wei was not a co-owner. took a bottle of wine and drank it in small sips, ignoring many words. Mixed two bottles of wine today. That's pretty good.
"Would you like some beef?" asked Hu Wei casually.
"That's a good feeling. The old man was unceremonious. Now there is a shortage of food in the mandala, and he has not eaten beef for a long time.
Hu Wei called his men and asked for a few side dishes and two pots of wine.
The old man's eyes lit up, and the knife in his hand danced as fast as a knife.
"How's the business lately?" said Hu Wei. Wine asked the old man.
"Do you know what I do?" the old man wondered.
"Face-to-face. Hu Wei didn't need to think about it, when the old man sat down, he had already guessed it.
"There are two hands. The old man put up his fingers, eating and drinking, but he did not slow down.
"It's nothing, we used to be together. Hu Wei smiled.
"I don't see it. The old man said, "At least not now." ”
"Not necessarily, maybe it will be soon. Hu Wei replied. The old man reminded him of the unscrupulous master again. Although the master is not good to him, they have been dependent on each other for thirteen years, not relatives, but they really have some family affection.
"What do you say?" asked the old man.
"That's not easy, you take me as an apprentice, won't I enter the industry again immediately?"
"Hahaha, interesting, drink swimming, drinking. ,...
After a lot of chats from all over the world, this wine is almost eaten. The old man's mouth wiped away.
Hu Wei looked at the four words left by the old man on the table, and was a little stunned.
This was only discovered after the old man left, and it was written as "Rate xìng and do,."
Back to the Shuaifu, Hu Wei's mood improved a lot. Although the old man didn't give him too many hints, just those four words were enough.
The same word, in the eyes of different people, has different interpretations, but corresponding to Hu Wei's body, it can really help him solve the problem.
Other people's ideals are not their own ideals. Others want him to be crowned king at this time, it's not that he wants to be crowned king at this time, so why bother to hurt his own brain for other people's ideas.
The mentality is different, and the mood towards things is naturally different. Coming in from the gate, Hu Wei felt that everything was so beautiful.
Under Hu Wei's strong opposition, the topic of Hu Wei being crowned king was temporarily suppressed.
Although many people can't figure out Hu You's practice of not being the king, Hu Wei is a god-like existence in the Immortal Bird Legion, and Hu Wei says no, so no one dares to say more.
A wind was crushed by Hu Wei, but within a few days, an even greater disaster swept over more than half of the entire Mandala area.
August is the traditional rainy season in the imperial capital of Mandala. In the past few years, most of the mandala was dry and rainless, and now the mandala is temporarily calm, and the people are looking forward to more rain this year and a good harvest.
God seemed to hear the wishes of the common people, and on the first day of August, a heavy rain was given.
However, as soon as the rain came, it seemed to be endless. Maybe there are too many people begging for rain, or maybe God is in a good mood and wants to have fun with some rain. Throughout August, it was either light rain or heavy rain, and there was not a single day of darkness. As the saying goes, things must be reversed, and if there is a lot of rain, it won't work.
After years of war, the Mandala Emperor was no one to plant the fields, no one to repair the water conservancy, no one to clear the river, no one to dig the silt, this rain has been falling, and the result is a flood.
This time, even the waves were flooded!
Yaya and Xiaobai were happy to have a water fight in the yard, but Hu Wei couldn't laugh at all. ,
Notices were posted overnight, but all those who knew how to control the water, one was counted as one, and all of them were gathered in the marshal's mansion to discuss the matter of water control.
Hu Wei was still very prestigious in Langtian, and as soon as the notice was posted, more than 100 experts rushed to the Shuaifu in less than a day.
Hu Wei didn't talk nonsense, and directly asked them how to control the water. But when there are many people, it is difficult to unify opinions. In these years, there was no water conservancy school, and the knowledge of this area was taught uniformly, and these so-called experts were all self-taught. It's better not to listen, but the more you listen, the more chaotic it becomes.
"It's really Maragobi. Hu Wei listened very carefully at first, but after hearing it, he really couldn't listen anymore. Let them write out their own methods one by one, and then he will choose the useful ones to read.
"Xianggong, you haven't slept yet. Momiji knocked on the door a few times and pushed it in.
Hu Wei smiled bitterly: "Where can I sleep, how is the matter?" ”
Momiji put a large stack of Wen Jiàn on the table and said, "It's all here, except for some that are too unreliable." Hu Wei glanced at the one-foot-tall Wen Jiàn and said, "I've worked hard for you again this time." I won't watch it either, you can tell me about it. There are specific ways to do this. Ye sat down beside Hu Wei and said, "Let's talk about one first." There is an opinion that we should find a place with soft soil and dig a large pit to let the flood water flow into it to form a natural small lake. This reduces the risk of flooding. ”
"Dig a pit to fill water?" Hu Wei rubbed his forehead and said with a smile: "How big a pit do you have to dig?" This won't work, next. "Well, the next one is to move all the people out of the flooded land. No matter how great the flood is, there is no fear. Momiji Road.
Hu Wei asked: "Do you think this is possible? Let the people live in the mountains? Don't say whether the people are willing or not, we don't have so much money for them to move." Besides, don't you want these towns?" Momiji shook her head embarrassedly, "I don't think it's feasible either. Then there is the dredging of the river. Mobilize manpower and material resources, increase the height and widening, guard against deepening the river, and remove silt ......"
"Well, that's a solution. Let me think about it!"
......... ,......... ,......... ,
Early the next morning, Hu Wei held a regiment-level military meeting, although there were already some civilian positions in the Immortal Bird Legion, but due to historical reasons, the generals still accounted for the majority in the Immortal Bird Legion.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the weather is bad and raining a lot, and I believe everyone has already understood me, so I won't say more. Since ancient times, water and fire have been merciless, and if this rain continues like this, it will definitely cause a huge disaster. I have studied with experts from all walks of life and feel that water control is an effective solution.
I have decided to increase the height and widening of the guard, deepen the river channels, and remove the silt to facilitate the smooth flow of water, I don't know what your opinions are?"
"Young marshal, it is a good thing to increase the height and widening, deepen the river, and remove the silt, but how to solve this human and financial resources?" replied the first general.
If you want to show it on a national scale, the first thing to solve is the problem of funding. You can't do anything without money, and although the general's question was more direct, it was also the key point.
Hu Wei nodded and said, "This is also my headache." The finances of the legion, everyone knows. Now, although the Mandala Empire is in the hands of their Immortal Bird Legion, our tax revenue has not yet been established. I have already discussed the issue of funds with General Huang Jinfeng, and she said that she can only provide 10 million gold coins, and more will not work. To tell you all about it, I want to borrow your wisdom today to solve this problem. "Ten million gold coins are given to anyone, it is enough for him to eat for ten lifetimes. But it is not enough to dissolve water. A few people who can do the math, only after a rough calculation in their hearts, they know that 10 million gold coins are only enough for two-fifths in the end, and the funding gap is more than sixty percent.
The generals began to talk about it, but this kind of thing is a bit difficult for them. They are okay with the war, but they haven't done it before to control the water. This has to control the water, and they have to find money to fill in the work, and they really have no good way.
"Young marshal, I have an idea, I don't know if it can be done. Wu Xuewen thought about it for a long time,
That's when he spoke.
"Quick," Hu Wei said hurriedly.
"That's right, that's what I thought. First of all, there must be people to govern the river, and if there are people to do things, they must be paid, and we don't have so much money to give ......" "Talk about the point!" Hu Wei interrupted Wu Xuewen's words. This guy likes to talk wordy, and he doesn't have a focus for a long time, so Hu Wei doesn't have so much time to listen to him slowly. ,
"I mean, can you find some workers who don't have to be paid. Wu Xuewen explained.
"How can there be such a good thing in the world, and you have to let people do things without paying them. Dreaming. A general interjected.
"No, there seems to be such people. After listening to the learned words, Hu Wei suddenly had an inspiration: "Aren't there a lot of prisoners in various places? Let them do it, and let them do it when they are done."
Not only does this not pay for wages, but it also saves money for food. ”
In recent years, there has been a lot of chaos in Mandala, and many mobs have appeared in various places. Almost all prisons are overcrowded. When the Legion of the Immortals took over the town, they also took over the prisoners. Since the Legion's judicial system had not yet been established, and no one paid attention to the prisoners, they were all locked up as they were for the time being.
When Hu Wei said this, it was tantamount to setting a tone for this matter. In the following discussion,
It becomes how to make these prisoners do things and what kind of supervision methods to use.
After discussion, Hu Wei gave Harrison the responsibility for this matter. In the Legion of the Undead Birds, when it comes to dealing with prisoners, there are few who are more adept at dealing with prisoners.
Hu Wei thought that after this arrangement, the flood problem should be solved. But he never imagined that the problem was far from that simple.
While Harrison was busy mobilizing people, the Kyushu River broke 17 embankments overnight, and 75 towns became Zeguo, and more than 20 million people were affected, creating the most disaster in the history of the Mandala Empire.
Hu Wei received the news and jumped up directly from the chuáng. That's not a good thing. If you don't get it right, the Mandala Empire, which has just stabilized, will riot again!
"Let's talk about it, what should we do now、, Hu Wei recruited a group of senior generals overnight, and this time even Hongye and Ximen Yufeng's five ladies were all present.
"I think the loss is secondary, the key is the people's will. We must not allow anyone with a heart to associate this disaster with our Immortal Bird Legion. Wu Xuewen was the first to speak.
It is not uncommon to take advantage of disasters to start incidents. To put it mildly, the reason why the Immortal Bird Legion has been able to develop to this day is because it has taken advantage of the many natural disasters during Valencia's reign**. Now the same problem is in front of them.
Ximen Yufeng nodded and said: "I agree with Wu Junshi's statement, the legion has just controlled the mandala, and it is still moving, and it is absolutely impossible to let unfavorable rumors pour out." ”
Hu Wei asked, "Then in your opinion, what should be done?" He vaguely felt that this was not very good, but there was no other way, so he planned to listen to it first.
Wu Xuewen said in a deep voice: "The white dog steals food, and the black dog blocks the disaster." We can turn natural disasters into man-made, on-the-go to other countries, divert people's attention, and turn grief into anger. ”@。
