Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Dangerous City
When Hualin Daxing in the mountains was producing, Xiao Ruyun in Shuanghe County outside the mountains was not idle at all, this was an unprecedented move, according to tradition, the immortal officials delegated by Qingzhou actually did not deal with any actual affairs, they either did not go down to Qiyunfeng at all and handed over all the affairs to their cronies and servants, or although they had to go to the place, they only interacted with several big families with the blood of the immortal family in the local area, and the specific affairs were handed over to the housekeeper and the local officials to deal with. However, Xiao Ruyun seemed to take her identity as an immortal official seriously, and she really did it drastically in the county, and even, until she knew that the land of Qingheng had been in a big disaster, and after being frozen for thousands of miles, it was still like this.
"Are these the oldest farmers in the area?" she sat upright and asked Tian Sanhu beside her, because one of the few people who was summoned to the front of the hall had not yet turned gray.
"Yes, although he is not the oldest, the farm he runs is the best, and the vegetable field he runs is worth two acres of others. Tian Sanhu replied in a regular manner, he has been dancing with knives and guns at home since he was a child, and he doesn't know anything about farming, but when he bought a field for himself, in order to avoid being deceived, he specially asked someone to find an expert in farming, this time Xiao Ruyun asked him to find an experienced old farmer, he recommended this person, Xiao Ruyun listened, and really smiled: "This is also amazing! ”
It turned out that people were sent to find the old peasants for this matter, indeed, Shuanghe County did not suffer from ice this time, but the previous Yi people plundered, and the loss was not only the population, but also crops and livestock, and it was expected to transfer grain from other places, but now the neighboring counties are all wiped out, and hundreds of refugees who have escaped by luck will instead have to eat in this county, and the food aspect is a problem that must not be considered, Tian Sanhu secretly admired the governance ability of the young girl fairy official in his heart, and heard the middle-aged rich peasant he recommended step forward and said radish continuously, Mung beans and other crops that can be harvested in a short time, and the terrain, land grade, water, fertilizer and other conditions required for each crop are clearly understood, Xiao Ruyun listened, applauded on the spot, rewarded him with two silver coins, and promised him that after helping the government this time, he would promote a child of his family to be a small official.
Several other old farmers, originally heard that this was the official of the county, and it was a powerful person who had just killed Zhang Qiuguan with a flying sword, so frightened that he fell to the ground and trembled, and made up his mind to keep quiet. Their ability in farming was limited to capital, livestock, and other conditions, but they were not as good as the middle-aged rich peasant, but they were quite experienced in how to survive the famine, and they contributed a map of fifty or sixty kinds of wild vegetables, leaves, and other things that could be used to satisfy hunger.
Xiao Ruyun praised them one by one, exempted their families from paying some taxes, stood up, and actually gave these old farmers who were not even small officials out.
When it was delivered to the door, Ah Xing carried a bamboo basket and gave each of them some fancy pastries as proof that they had met the county officials.
After these people went out gratefully, Xiao Ruyun sent Tian Sanhu to inspect the river defense, and after Tian Sanhu also left, Xiao appeared in the house with a snort.
"As an immortal, you are like a mortal, and you are not an individual!" This is his heart, and he also scolded Xiao Ruyun bluntly, but after Xiao Ruyun heard it, he looked up at him unhurriedly: "Elder, the ancestor told me to be a good official in this county, and I have to be a good official, do you want to violate the ancestor's order, just for my own decency?"
"Ancestor...... The ancestor doesn't know whether he is there or not. Xiao Zaiping himself never thought that he would say such a thing one day, how could the ancestor not be there? The ancestor guarded Qingzhou, and the other immortal families on the book rose and extinguished, and the Xiao family in Qingzhou will always be there, hundreds of years of time are like waiting for leisure, no matter how many doors are added to the back of the book, how many doors are cut, the names of the golden characters on the top of the book are always timeless and fresh. He could occasionally read about the collapse of valleys and the diversion of rivers in the history of Qingzhou, and knew that some mountains were not what they are now, and some rivers were not what they are now, but the three ancestors of the Xiao family, who were earlier than that, have always been there.
Now, they have never responded to their message, whether it is the ancestor or the others, since the day the snow fell, there has been no response to the message.
An obvious answer that had to be put in front of these ostriches: they were all destroyed, or on the way to total destruction.
Either way, it was beyond the scope of the three family elders.
Their whole lives have been spent trying their best to stay in the Xiao family, or how to climb a few steps up the ladder of the Xiao family, but when the big tree of the Xiao family itself does not exist, where will they go?
Xiao Yongkui's proposition is to immediately gallop back to Qiyun Peak to support, Xiao Zaihe's proposition is to find out the situation first, and then make a decision, Xiao Zaiping's proposition - he has no idea at all, he is afraid of encountering the opponent of Qiyun Peak, and he doesn't know who he can send to "probe first", besides, he still remembers what Xiao Qianqiu said, they are not allowed to go back until the city wall is repaired...... Theoretically, it has been so long since the incident, and one of the three should at least have left and practice his own ideas, but I don't know why, he is still in Shuanghe County, although his mouth is full of complaints about the other two after practicing every day.
In this small circle composed of elders, Xiao Zaiping's cultivation is the lowest, his family is the worst, and he is just angry every day, and he is finally forced to talk to Xiao Ruyun, a hairy girl, of course, when he speaks, he does not forget that he is the elder of the Xiao family, and he is not willing to show up when other mortals are present.
"All men know to worship God as God is. Xiao Ruyun replied calmly, Xiao Zaiping felt that she was even more spicy than what Xiao Yongkui said: "The enemy may attack at any time, what's the use of you taking care of these mortals." ”
"The three elders can abandon the city and leave, but the official will not leave. ”
"Oh, when the enemy attacks, what can you do to keep this city intact?"
"Surrender when they come. ”
"What!"
"If you think this kind of talk is a big rebellion, then what is the immortal official who discards the city and the people when the enemy has not yet come?" Xiao Ruyun said lightly.
was put on a show by this little girl, Xiao Zaiping thought, somehow, this time he looked at the girl's face, and for the first time he was not angry because he was offended, but had a strange emotion - it seems that this little girl also has a strange talent in her body, but unfortunately, she was not born in a higher family, did not have better fairy bones, and was not born a hundred years early, otherwise, the Xiao family may not be so embarrassed this time...... I'm really whimsical.
