The matter of Qianniu guarding Yang Fan to repair a canal for Lingnan County by the Surabaya River soon spread in the county, which was a great thing for the people, but for some people, it didn't feel like a taste.

The first thing that could not sit still was the county magistrate Jin Deli, and the matter of repairing the canal shouldn't be the job of his county magistrate?

Moreover, as soon as Yang Fan came, he took away 200 stone of rice from Huang Ji Rice Shop, where did this rice go? If you have the heart to inquire, you will soon understand that those rice have gone into those cauldrons of soup kitchen.

Jin Deli hurried to the Surabaya River with some servants, trying to find out which one Yang Fan was singing.

Jin Deli's fat figure walked by the Surabaya River, and the officials drove the victims on the road to clear the way for the county magistrate.

didn't go far, Jin Deli's face was flushed, sweat kept flowing down, no way, his body was too heavy, and walking was really not ordinary tired.

When Jin Deli found Yang Fan, Yang Fan was wearing a military uniform, wielding a hoe and digging ditches with the victims, and talking and laughing from time to time.

After a day of getting along, the victims began to get acquainted with Yang Garrison, this Yang Garrison is handsome, there is no official frame, and he is very good at talking, especially good at saying meat jokes, so that a group of big men listen to it with relish.

Zhao Xiaoyu stood aside with a red face, this Yang Fan dared to say anything, and the affairs of men and women could also be announced, but it was not the straightforward and explicit vulgar words of the mountain villager, but it was particularly vague and euphemistic, and he couldn't understand what he was saying at all.

Yang Fan was waving a hoe and telling jokes, and his dull mood was much better.

"Let me tell you another joke, there was a rural couple and their child, the child grew up, the couple bought another couch for the child in the room, summer came, there were a lot of mosquitoes, the mosquito net on the child's couch broke a hole, and a mosquito went around the hole, and the child said, 'Come in, go out, come in, go out......' The child's father was immediately furious, jumped up and slapped the child, and said angrily: 'What the hell, Lao Tzu wants you to command?'"

Suddenly there was a burst of laughter, this joke without swearing, the taste is different.

Jin Deli, who had just arrived on the side, also heard it, his face was flushed, he wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, he was here to do business.

Zhao Xiaoyu pursed his lips, glanced at Yang Fan with disgust, and stomped his feet to leave, but he was a little reluctant, after all, some jokes were really funny.

Jin Deli faked a cough, and then said to Yang Fan: "Yang Shoubei is really funny, this official Lingnan County Commander Jin Deli has seen Yang Shoubei. ”

Yang Fan stopped what he was doing, turned around and glanced at Jin Deli, his bloated body, I don't know how many people have fat and people in it.

Yang Fan snorted: "Why is Lord Jin here?"

Jin Deli: "I heard that Yang Shoubei took the lead in repairing the canal here, and I was very strange, so I came to take a look, but I didn't expect Yang Shoubei to do it himself, and the official was really ashamed." ”

Yang Fan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Lord Jin should indeed be ashamed, but it is useless to be ashamed, it is better to show something." ”

Jin Deli was stunned, he was just saying a polite word, why did he go up the pole.

Jin Deli laughed embarrassedly: "I heard that Yang Shoubei came to Lingnan County to quell the chaos, how did he manage the local construction of this county?"

Yang Fan smiled and said: "Lord Jin, I did come to quell the chaos, and what I am doing now is also to quell the chaos." ”

Jin Deli was puzzled: "Yang Shoubei, what does your repair of the canal have to do with quelling the chaos?"

Yang Fan patted the mud on his hands, walked over and put his arm on Jin Deli's shoulder, and said in a serious tone: "Lord Jin, let me ask you, why did Li Bashan make trouble?"

Jin Deli opened his mouth and was about to reply, but Yang Fan hurriedly said: "Because there is no food to eat, if you don't have anything to eat, you will starve to death, and if you don't have anything to eat, you might as well rebel and grab some food to live for a few more days." ”

Yang Fan smiled and said, "Lord Jin, why don't they have anything to eat? Because of the drought in Lingnan County, there is no harvest in the fields, and there is no food, so there is no food.

Then let me ask you again, why is there a drought in Lingnan County? Because it doesn't rain, because there is no canal on the ground, and if it doesn't rain, we can't manage it, but there is no canal on the ground, and we can overcome it.

Let me ask again, why is there no canal on the ground? It is because of the inaction of the local officials in Lingnan County, so the root cause of the rebellion of the displaced people is the officials of Lingnan County. ”

Jin Deli's fat body trembled, and Yang Fan's words were a bit heart-wrenching.

After listening to Yang Fan's analysis, the victims who were digging ditches looked at Jin Deli angrily one by one, it turned out that this guy was the root cause of everyone's lack of food.

Zhao Xiaoyu frowned and looked at Yang Fan, shocked in his heart, although these words were a bit extreme, but they were reasonable, as long as the problem of food and clothing for the displaced people was solved, the chaos would be calm, it turned out that Yang Fan was actually quelling the chaos, and it was not only Li Bashan who was peaceful, but the people who rebelled because of hunger in the future.

Jin Deli didn't expect Yang Fan to have a smiling face, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he put himself on the fire, which can be described as a sword.

A layer of fine sweat broke out on Jin Deli's face, and he brushed his sleeves to block Yang Fan's hand on his shoulder, and said: "This official has also thought about repairing the canal to fight the disaster, but how much manpower and material resources does it take to repair the canal? And how much land does it have to occupy? There are many difficulties in this, Yang Shoubei will not be clear, although Lingnan County is small, but there are many noble and noble gentry among them, if the land where your canal passes, if it occupies their fields, they are afraid that they will not be happy." ”

Yang Fan clasped his hands in his arms: "The most important thing in Lingnan County now is manpower, you look at these people, they themselves are very kind, as long as they have something to eat, where will they rebel? As for the land occupied, how much can it be, as soon as the canal is completed, their original dry land will become fertile land, why are they not happy, if there are people who deliberately make things difficult, how can I be vegetarian and thousands of soldiers." ”

Jin Deli said in a deep voice: "You are forcibly occupying the land, which is against the laws of the country. ”

Yang Fan's eyes sharpened, and he suddenly shouted: "The owner of the land didn't come to the door, but Lord Jin jumped out first, why is this? Could it be that Lord Jin wants to stop me from opening a canal? Could it be that it is good for the displaced people to build against Lord Jin? This canal repair is a matter for the benefit of the country and the people, and you don't solve those problems for me, but you come to stop me, this is the performance of a parent official?"

A series of rhetorical questions made Jin Deli stunned on the spot, this is about to tear his face, the other party is a military general, if it fights, these officials are really not opponents, and the people who are repairing the canal nearby are glaring at him one by one, and he dares to make a mistake there.

Jin Deli departed, but Yang Fan's face turned cold.
