Chapter 128: Different Positions, Promoted Cultivation (5,000 Words Chapter Asking for a Monthly Pass)
On the same day, Gu Chang'an, the new Qianhu of Chentang County, arrived in Yanbo County.
Because the big demon of Yanbo Lake stirred up the wind and clouds, causing the sky to change, spontaneous flooding, these days have been raining, at first it was still pouring, but the rain has gradually decreased.
In a restaurant in the county.
At this time, it was noon, it was raining lightly outside, and there were more than 20 people in the hall of the restaurant eating melons and fruits, drinking tea and chatting.
On the second floor are the boxes, most of which are empty, except for one large box with a few people in it.
Three taciturn gold-armored wrestlers stood on either side, a young man sat in his seat, watching the rain outside through the window, and several other people were also on the side.
At this time, a middle-aged man in a robe, holding an umbrella from outside, hurriedly entered the restaurant, and was then led up by the guy.
When he arrived on the second floor, he saw the young man, and the middle-aged man was suddenly restrained, and hurriedly bowed his hand: "Xiaguan Yanbo County Ling Zhou Ping, I have seen Gu Qianhu." ”
"No need to be polite...... Let's talk about things first. ”
Gu Changan waved his hand and said.
"Yes!"
Zhou Ping, the county magistrate, sat on the chair next to him, and as soon as he sat down, he listened to Gu Changan and said, "This flood, has the number of victims come out?"
Hearing this, Zhou Ping hurriedly sat up straight, and said respectfully: "This time, Yanbo Lake set off a big flood, affecting the whole county, flooding 200,000 people and affecting 17,000 households, most of which could not produce and were unsustainable. ”
"In addition, nearly 30,000 people were either drowned, killed by the water monsters, or missing...... The situation is far from rosy. ”
"The situation is erosive, ......"
Gu Changan couldn't help but sigh.
In this world, although there are warrior monks to protect the people, and there are also city gods and gods to adjust the celestial phenomena, unless the terrain is bad, the wind and rain are generally smooth, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
But correspondingly, there are warrior monks, and naturally there are demons, monsters, and evil sects that wreak havoc on the world - as the saying goes, when immortals fight, mortals suffer.
Although these demons can't reach this point, they have power that ordinary people can't imagine, and they often blow at will, and they may bring destruction to ordinary people.
Just like this time, the wind and waves in Yanbo Lake caused the whole county to be flooded.
For ordinary people, this is completely a flying disaster.
These thoughts flashed through his mind, Gu Changan came back to his senses and said in a deep voice: "I have only one request, to search for disaster victims as soon as possible...... The Hanging Mirror Division will cooperate to control the flood in the shortest possible time, and at the same time minimize the impact and loss!"
"We must try our best to ensure that all the people affected by the disaster can survive and survive until the beginning of spring!"
Zhou Ping, the county magistrate, immediately said: "If it is just that our county is still weak, but with the help of the adults of the Hanging Mirror Division, it must not be a big problem." ”
"In addition, according to your instructions, now the big squires in the county are already waiting below, do you want to ......?"
The county magistrate said tentatively.
"I don't have to. ”
Gu Changan waved his hand and said, "I am the Hanging Mirror Division, and my duties are different from yours. You're in this county, and you're going to meet them, do you understand the meaning of calling them this time?"
"The officials understand that there are two main points, one is to persuade the tenants to reduce their rents so that the victims will not be bankrupt or even in debt, and the other is to raise funds for relief to the victims!"
Zhou Ping said respectfully.
In fact, this is all a practice - every time there is a natural or man-made disaster, the large squires have to contribute money and food to help the county tide over the difficulties.
In return, the county will also give them relevant attention.
Zhou Ping didn't believe that these people dared not to give face.
"That's what it means, you consult with them, but whoever gives money or food, make a list. Gu Changan said flatly, and waved his hand, signaling to let the county order go down.
The county order saluted again, and then respectfully retreated.
Went downstairs to the hall.
Zhou Ping is the county order, and the big families in the county know each other, and everyone stood up to greet him at this moment, and said with a smile: "The county gentleman is here, sit down quickly, sit down quickly, ...... it."
"We've all arrived, just waiting for you!"
"Oh, you still have rain on you, take off your coat and put it on the stove...... Man, bring a clean blanket and don't let the county gentleman catch a cold!"
The guy hurriedly and cautiously went up and waited.
And the squires also nodded their heads again and again, talking nonsense.
Zhou Ping sat on the chair, his hands were baked in front of the stove, the blanket was draped on his body, and the people around him came around, Zhou Ping looked around, saw the posture of everyone, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
"The new thousand households of the Hanging Mirror Division heard that our Yanbo County sent a big flood, and specially inspected it, this is the blessing of our county, the thousands of adults have mercy and benevolence, although we are rolling in the mundane, but we can't ignore the general situation, there are some things, everyone is a shrewd person, and they should all understand ......"
These words, every new thousand households come to inspect, will say it again, some of these squires present have seen several times, and their ears can be said to have grinded out of calluses, but at this time they still showed a look of sudden enlightenment, and opened their mouths one by one and said: "What the county monarch said is that the immortals of the thousand households are not ordinary, but we can't lose our manners." ”
"If you have any orders, the county magistrate will say, we will obey!"
This is a matter of benevolence, and we all understand and are willing. ”
......
The words downstairs reached Gu Changan's ears upstairs, although Gu Changan listened, his mind was obviously not here - his eyes were always looking into the distance.
There, is the direction of Yanbo Lake.
Only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves.
If you want to completely stabilize the territory, you need to solve all the unstable factors in the jurisdiction - either suppressed, killed, or co-opted.
Downstairs.
Zhou Ping, the county magistrate, continued: "There is a big flood in the county, so many victims have to be rescued, real people have a benevolent heart, I can't bear to let them have no whereabouts, we also have to get some merit...... needs a lot of money and food, but it needs the big families and squires in the county to donate one after another. ”
With that, Zhou Ping picked up the tea bowl and sipped the tea.
Although he smiled respectfully in front of Gu Changan, the county order was still a county parent after all, which could be called hundreds of miles of marquis, and he had his own bearing.
Although he said happily just now, but at this moment, he really wanted to pay for food, but everyone still looked at each other, and no one spoke.
Zhou Ping didn't panic, just glanced at the audience.
This silence is only temporary, if there is really no one to pay for food, this is equivalent to slapping the face of his county government and the face of the Hanging Mirror Division.
Sure enough, after a while, a middle-aged man with a beard stood up, faced quite calmly, and said, "It is our blessing that thousands of households come to our Chentang County...... This is a good thing to accumulate merit when helping the victims, and my Li family is willing to give 1,300 stone of grain and 1,000 taels of silver!"
Someone took the lead, and the following began to echo it.
"For such merits, my Xi family will also have some of them, and I am willing to give 1,000 stones of grain and 800 taels of silver!"
"My family has little food, mainly a commercial house, so I am willing to pay two thousand five hundred taels of silver!"
By this time, the rain had gradually stopped, and only a few raindrops remained, but there was still a cold air.
The restaurant is very lively, scrambling to save their lives and donate money and food.
In just a moment, ten thousand stone of grain and fifteen thousand taels of silver had been raised, but this was still a little short of what he had expected, Zhou Ping was slightly unhappy in his heart, and he was going to be angry, but at this moment, he heard a voice in his ears: "These are enough, just record the roster." ”
Zhou Ping saw that there was no discoloration from the other people on the left and right, and immediately knew that this was the magic trick of the Hanging Mirror Division, so he restrained his unhappiness at the moment, and said with a smile: "Very good, it seems that everyone is very positive, everyone should make a list and record the list, and then it will be handed over to Lord Qianhu for review." ”
Seeing that the county gentleman's face was unhappy, the people in the hall thought that they were going to be angry, and they suddenly felt uneasy in their hearts, wondering if they would grit their teeth and make up for it a little more.
After this was over, some more conversation followed, and everyone took their leave.
After everyone left, Zhou Ping put away the paper of the painting, went upstairs, and immediately saluted: "Qianhu, the matter has been done...... Do you want to eat here at night?"
"No, I won't eat. Keep an eye on things and don't make mistakes. ”
Speaking of this, Gu Changan stood up and said loudly: "Zhou County Order, this is the first thing I just went to the county office, do you think there will be someone who is not long-sighted at this time and spoils my merits?"
That's a bit of a damn.
Cold sweat suddenly spread on Zhou Ping's forehead, and he hurriedly saluted: "Don't worry, my lord, there will never be such a thing...... I personally supervise this matter on the front line, if someone does not open his eyes, he will be the first to behead him!"
Although his heart was cold, when he said this, he still showed a trace of ruthlessness.
At this time, there were monks and warriors, and the officials of the imperial court were naturally not weak scholars, and they all had some martial arts or spells.
This county order is an imperial examination, and it seems to be weak, but in fact it has strength.
"Alright, you go about your business. ”
Seeing the county order's statement, Gu Changan waved his hand and said.
Even if he walked to the window, he didn't have any scruples, and directly turned his body into a rainbow light.
The rest of the people followed suit, leaving like streamers.
Seeing Gu Changan leaving, the county commander wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and stood up straight.
Looking at the direction of departure, his eyes couldn't help but show envy and longing - although the county monarch is good, where are the martial artists and monks who come to be at ease?
......
Yanbo County, fifty miles away from Yanbo Lake, Yangliu Town.
This place was originally a large area of farmland, but at this time, as far as the eye can see, it is a water.
At this time, the rain had stopped, but the dark clouds were still stubbornly not dispersing, and the sunlight shone down through the clouds, and instead of feeling warm, it was cold.
The people in the town are rebuilding their houses under the organization of officials, and from a distance, the whole town is lined with people on both sides of the road.
The farmland has been destroyed, and this year it was confiscated, and there are many floating corpses that have been washed into the fields by the flood, and they have been buried in the soil by the county officials and farmers, and around these corpses, there are even warriors and monks of the Hanging Mirror Division who use charms to purify and eliminate them to prevent the birth of a plague.
At the entrance of the town, porridge sheds were set up, some of which were from the government, some were local good people, and some were from the Hanging Mirror Division.
Many people are waiting in line, these are the people who have been affected by the disaster, although their clothes are shabby, but their eyes are not dead and numb, but more hope and future.
When the county officials were giving porridge, they were all spreading that this was the new hanging mirror division in the county and giving everyone a way to live, so the people were very grateful, and many people even set up immortal tablets at home, praying day and night.
Gu Changan walked on the street, only followed by Lu Jiang, and a little farther away, there were three people, Jin Lai, Jin Xiang, and Jin Go, faintly observing the surroundings.
Looking at these people, Gu Changan couldn't help asking, "Director Lu, what do you think of the current situation?"
"Thousands of households are benevolent and virtuous, and it is also the right way to govern. ”
Lu Jiang is one position behind - he has always been like this, he has been in the Hanging Mirror Division for a long time, he has no motivation and does not want to make enemies, so he is very enthusiastic about everyone, and he is hardworking and loyal, he just wants to leave a good impression on Shangfeng and pave the way for future generations.
At this moment, he said: "Now that the demons are revealed, the warriors and monks are sheltered and have the power to protect the ordinary people, and they don't pay much attention to the people's hearts and expectations, but this still has an impact after all." ”
"Especially for our Hanging Mirror Division, although the Hanging Mirror Division is an institution of the Dayan Imperial Court, it measures the merits of thousands of households in each county to see whether they have made great contributions, and great achievements are difficult to find, so stability has become the mainstream. ”
"Qianhu, you have done this, and you have gained popularity in the hearts of the people, and the people have already settled down...... Only the warriors are left. And the martial artist, not to mention the small sects, no one dares to make trouble, but the three major sects do not dare to block our Hanging Mirror Division, so as long as you don't make a big mistake in the future, you don't need to worry!"
"And once you can rectify the demons and make the territory stable, it will be a great achievement, but it will not be easy after all. ”
Listening to Lu Jiang's words, Gu Changan thought carefully for a moment, and then nodded.
Lu Jiang really deserves to have stayed in the Hanging Mirror Division for so long, although it is a little slippery, but he still has vision.
"The people and the warriors are the basic plate, as for the demons ......"
Thinking of this, Gu Changan's eyes showed a cold glow.
He must get rid of the demon of Yanbo Lake - the new official took office with three fires, and Gu Changan didn't need to burn three fires, but the demon of Yanbo Lake came out to stir up the wind and rain when he first took office, which is equivalent to hitting his hands, if he doesn't clean up, how can he deter Xiaoxiao?
It's just that how to get rid of this demon still needs him to go over and observe it himself......
"Boom!"
Just when Gu Changan was just thinking of this, a thunderbolt suddenly came faintly from the sky, accompanied by a bright light flickering, and the entire sky suddenly brightened, and then dimmed.
When I looked up, I saw black clouds surging and rolling in the distance, and thunder flashed and staggered in the dark clouds.
"It's in the direction of Yanbo Lake!"
Gu Changan's eyes froze.
"Qianhu, this situation is not right, that demon is ......"
Seeing this vision in the sky, Lu Jiang suddenly frowned.
It's just that before he could finish speaking, Gu Changan's figure suddenly flashed, and the whole person jumped into the air, and then turned into a long rainbow and fled.
Seeing this, Lu Jiang and Jin Lai, Jin Qu, and Jin Xiang also immediately followed.
Fifty miles, for today's Gu Chang'an, controlling the rainbow light of the royal qi is just a cup of tea.
As soon as I landed on Yanbo Lake, I saw the huge Yanbo Lake waves rolling, like the roar of the sea.
In the clouds above the lake, the electric light swept by, and the entire lake was illuminated with a white color, like mercury, and bursts of muffled thunder resounded.
Yanbo Lake covers an area of 100 miles, and there are several rivers, and the basin covers half of Chentang County, making it the largest lake in the entire Chentang County.
At this time, the dark clouds hung over the entire Yanbo Lake, and after a while, under the rain, the heavy rain fell on the lake, causing the lake to spread, flowing onto the land, and flooding the land that had just been flooded again.
That's not all, many aquarium monsters have come out of their heads, happily welcoming the lake, and even more, they are still ashore at this time, trying to hunt and kill humans.
In the clouds in the sky, a big demon was faintly revealed, resembling a python, but with a towering head, it was flowing vertically and horizontally in the dark clouds at this time, sometimes roaring, looking very cheerful.
It's just that Gu Changan's face became gloomy.
This python demon is really reckless!
There is a record in the Hanging Mirror Division, five hundred years ago, the martial saint established the Hanging Mirror Division, cut down the mountains and broken the temple, swept away the demons, and a large number of ghosts and demons were killed.
This kind of killing made all the demons and monsters frightened.
Later, demons, ghosts, and demons wanted to unite, and after learning of this, the eleven immortal true monarchs of Dayan, and the thirteen martial arts celestials, under the leadership of the martial saint, personally entered the 100,000 mountains of the demon clan.
The specific details are unknown, but after the Terran Martial Saints, Immortals, and Celestials came out, the Demon Clan announced that from now on, all the genus of the Demon Clan will escape into the mountains and waters, and will not compete with others for profit.
The demon clan must not wreak havoc on the world, otherwise the demons will punish them!
And this python demon, as the lord of hundreds of miles of Yanbo Lake, is wantonly fiddling with supernatural powers in the world - if he wants to control the spread of the lake within the scope of his Yanbo Lake, no matter what, no one else can control him.
But this python demon didn't do much to restrain it, and as a result, so many people were affected by the disaster, which is really crazy!
Damn it!
There is also the Valley of Leaving the Fire, as a Terran sect, and its station is also near Yanbo Lake, but it sits back and watches the demons rage, and sits back and watches the Terran suffer disasters and stand by......
"Let's wait, we have to settle it all afterwards!"
Gu Changan's eyes showed a cold glow, and he said in a deep voice.
For the Python Demon and Lihuo Valley, perhaps they all have their own reasons for their actions, but Gu Chang'an, as a thousand households in Chentang County, is in charge of these thousands of miles, what he wants is that this place is under his control, and there is no disobedience or any unstable factors.
Only in this way can arrangements be made when the next player arrives.
And in this way, the python demon and the valley of fire have become the targets of his attack and suppression!
The reason is simple -
It's just a different position!
"It's just that this big demon cultivates in order to get it, if you want to suppress it, you need to improve your cultivation a little!"
Gu Changan saw that the cultivation of this python demon had reached the realm of demon handsomeness, which was equivalent to the realm of martial arts grandmasters, and with his current strength, I am afraid that he would not be able to catch it.
Even if you insist on besieging and killing, the final result will only be a lose-lose situation.
But this is not what he wants.
"It seems that we need to improve our cultivation as soon as possible!"
Gu Changan thought secretly.
At this time, a few streamers fell, but it was Lu Jiang and the others, seeing that Gu Changan was fine, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said: "Qianhu, this big demon cultivator is in order to get it, you can't stay here for more, it's better to leave as soon as possible!"
Gu Changan nodded.
It's just that before leaving, he said: "Director Lu, when the affairs of Yanbo County are understood, you will implement one thing......
......
......
ps: It's another 5,000-word chapter, ask for recommendations, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!
