Since the Mudao people themselves have seen through life and death, they accept it calmly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Xiuyuan will not cry like a woman, he can only hope that his uncle, can survive this hurdle and survive the catastrophe.
looked at the hazy sky outside, and suddenly shouted, "Where are the Yin soldiers?"
"Young Master, what do you command?" a Yin soldier waiting outside the City God Hall revealed his figure and bowed respectfully.
"Take Zhang Yingjie and bring it. Li Xiuyuan said.
"Yes. ”
The Yin soldier answered, and quickly left, but when he returned, he was holding the soul of a baby in his hands.
Li Xiuyuan took out an object, which was crystal clear, like a jade coat, but it was not, and it vaguely exuded luster.
"This is a jade fetus, wrapping Zhang Yingjie's soul in it. ”
"Yes, young master. Yin Bing answered, took the jade fetus, and then draped it on Zhang Yingjie's body.
As soon as this jade fetus was draped on the body of the baby's soul, it was immediately wrapped, and then quickly shrunk, shrunk, and finally turned into a crystal clear jade ball, which contained the figure of Zhang Yingjie's soul, and Zhang Yingjie at this moment was like a fetus honestly curled up in it, motionless, like an embryo waiting to be born.
Li Xiuyuan saw that Zhang Yingjie's soul had entered the jade fetus before taking it from the hands of the Yin soldiers, putting it in the ghost king's cloth bag, and loading the treasure armor and bow left for him by his uncle before, and then strode out of the door.
"You have been watching Guo Beicheng these days, don't make any trouble, if there are ghosts and gods that you can't deal with, you can come to me, and I will deal with it." ”
"Yes, eldest young master," the Yin soldier nodded, and when he saw that Li Xiuyuan was leaving, he hurriedly said: "Eldest young master, when I went to pick up Zhang Yingjie's soul, a companion said that the imperial court had sent a messenger for disaster relief, and he was now in Jinling City, and I believe that he would be able to reach Guobei City in the near future." ”
"I know that. Li Xiuyuan nodded.
No matter how corrupt the imperial court is, such a big disaster will have to be relieved.
However, the situation in Guo Beicheng has stabilized, and he doesn't know what is going on elsewhere.
Li Xiuyuan, who left the City God Temple, returned to the house at this time.
Because the guards have returned to the city before, the mansion has been cleaned up for the past few days, but there are no people living now, and it has to be cleaned up for several days, after all, the mansion is so big.
However, there were guards on duty in front of the house early in the morning.
The city was hit by the disaster, and there was a constant influx of victims.
In addition, the prefect of this place has already run away, everyone in the yamen, and the people are unrestrained, so this law and order is naturally a problem.
"Young Master, you're back. When the guards saw Li Xiuyuan, they immediately bowed their hands.
Li Xiuyuan nodded: "The security in the city has been hard for you brothers in the dart industry in the past few days, and the ministers of the imperial court disaster relief will come in a few days, and you can rest at that time." ”
"The eldest young master is polite, this is what we should do. The guard said.
Li Xiuyuan said again: "By the way, there are still healthy horses in the house? ”
The two guards paused for a moment and said, "There are still a few horses, is the eldest young master going back to the county?"
"No, no, I have some personal business to do, you just need to prepare. Li Xiuyuan said.
"Yes. The two guards answered, and immediately went to prepare the horses and the equipment for traveling.
However, when Li Xiuyuan returned to the mansion, he saw a few men waiting in front of the lobby, these men were wearing armor, like soldiers, powerful and powerful.
But after walking in, he smelled a smell of paper ash and incense emanating from these people, obviously these were not people, but ghosts, and they were ghosts who had been offered incense.
"Hey, Tieshan, why are you here?" Li Xiuyuan glanced at and said in surprise.
These men are none other than Iron Mountain.
On that day, he instructed Tieshan and them to go back to Guobei County to enjoy the offerings, just to want them to condense their ghost bodies and become Yin soldiers as soon as possible.
But looking at it like this, Tieshan and the others helped to improve their Taoism, plus they built a small temple for them in Guobei County, and now they have all become Yin soldiers.
It's just a little more than a month.
Becoming a Yin soldier in such a short period of time doesn't know how many ghosts are envious.
"Great young master. ”
Tie Shan was a little excited when he saw Li Xiuyuan, and the other guards who had become Yin soldiers also respectfully saluted.
Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said, "Don't be so polite, sit down, Tie Shan, you are not in Guobei County to protect the safety of the county, why did you come here?"
"Didn't the eldest young master send a ghost to keep him safe? The old man couldn't rest assured that the eldest young master couldn't get rid of the eldest young master, so he let the little one run, and now he was relieved to see that the eldest young master had nothing to do, and the little one was relieved. Iron Mountain said.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Fortunately, you are ghosts, and you can travel hundreds of miles at night, otherwise how can you go back and forth so easily." ”
"Yes, after this ghost, I feel a lot more comfortable, and the little ones now like to be ghosts. Tie Shan smiled a little embarrassedly.
Li Zhong next to him said: "What the eldest young master said is not it, if this does not become a ghost, we will not be able to come, although the flood has receded now, but many roads have been washed away and submerged, and the water by the river is overflowing, there is not even a ferry, and now the road back to Guobei County can only be a long detour." ”
"I also expected the situation after the disaster, so I didn't rush to the county, by the way, what is the situation at home?" Li Xiuyuan asked again.
Tie Shan said: "The flood is rampant, and because of the high terrain, Guobei County has not been flooded, but some farmland has been soaked by the rain, and I am afraid that the autumn harvest will be gone." ”
Li Xiuyuan said, "The autumn harvest is gone, there is no way to encounter such natural and man-made disasters, go back and give those tenants free of rent this year, in addition, this disaster, the price of grain is bound to rise, our Li family does not make this black money, go back and inform my father to open a few granaries to stabilize the price of grain." ”
"It's still the eldest young master's foresight, these years have had a bumper harvest of grain, but every year to build a granary, store grain, the lord also said that the eldest young master wasted money, and now it has suffered a disaster, but our Li family's granary has come in handy, presumably now the master will definitely exaggerate the young master. Tie Shan said with admiration.
Li Xiuyuan smiled but did not speak.
He is not far-sighted, but always has no sense of security when he comes to this world, for fear of encountering natural disasters and military disasters, so he builds a dart shop, opens iron mines, recruits bandits, and expands the strength of his Li family, just so that once the world is chaotic, the Li family can have the power to protect themselves, so that the family will not be ruined.
And Li Xiuyuan often thinks that if the world is really chaotic, then what is the most precious.
There is no doubt that it is food.
Therefore, the Li family has always had one thing that has not been left behind over the years, that is, building a granary to store grain.
The real wealth of the Li family is not placed in the treasury, but it has turned into a lot of hidden strength.
When these things are gradually revealed, many people may find that the Li family is definitely not as simple as a local hero.
Then Li Xiuyuan asked about the situation in the county again.
Guobei County is as calm as ever, and the family is also very peaceful, but these days there are constantly flooding into Guobei County in the affected places.
Because Guobei County is very prosperous under the influence of the Li family, its reputation spreads, and the victims will naturally flock there.
"The problem of the victims is indeed a difficult problem, who is the county commander of Guobei County now? I can ask my father to consult with the county commander and accept these victims as much as possible in the previous way. Li Xiuyuan said.
According to the previous practice of the Li family, after recruiting the victims, they allocated houses, and then hired them to reclaim the wasteland and grow food.
The court has long had a law that the reclaimed wasteland will be owned by the reclaimer after three years of planting.
It's just that the government decree is wasted and the people pay heavy taxes that no one wants to do such a thankless job.
But not in Guobei County, because it is the Li family who has the final say, so the Li family's fields have become more and more over the years.
"Young master, the county order of Guobei County has not yet taken office, and now the master of the Liu County Order is in charge of the yamen for the time being, but this time it has been a disaster, and I am afraid that the county order will be delayed for a long time. Iron Mountain said.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Since there is no county order, then our Li family has the final say, and disaster relief will come in the same way as before." ”
This disaster relief is not only to save people, but also to save oneself.
Otherwise, the disaster is everywhere, and it is also a threat to the Li family itself, but unfortunately, from ancient times to the present, there are still many rich people who do not understand this problem.
Iron Mountain nodded and said that he had made a note of it.
Li Xiuyuan then talked with these Yin soldiers for a while, and after explaining some things, he also learned about the situation in Guobei County.
This mental arithmetic is put down.
"By the way, there is one more thing I command you. Li Xiuyuan said suddenly.
"There is no city god in the local area, now there is a group of yin soldiers in the city god temple, the ghosts are waiting there, Tieshan, I need you to help me rectify them, take them for my own use, and always hand them over to those two yin soldiers to take charge of me A little bit not very relieved, they are very thieves, they have no loyalty, I can't let hundreds of ghosts and dozens of yin soldiers listen to their two ghosts, if something goes wrong at the critical moment, it will not be good. ”
Li Xiuyuan said: "As for Li Zhong, you go and guard Guobei County with other people, don't let the ghosts and ghosts wander into the county, and the surrounding ghosts and monsters must also be monitored, and tell me at any time if there is any problem." ”
"The little one understands. Tie Shan and Li Zhong both responded.
At this time, a guard outside the door walked in and looked at the empty room with some curiosity, not knowing who the eldest young master was talking to before, and arched his hand with a little doubt: "The eldest young master, the horse is ready, and you can set off at any time." ”
"Okay, you guys wait outside the door, I'll be there soon. Li Xiuyuan said.
After the guard left, he said, "I have finished what I want to order, go and get busy, now that it is almost dawn, stay in the house today, and move again in the evening." ”
The Yin soldiers and guards answered, and they turned into a yin wind and dissipated in the lobby and the like.
Li Xiuyuan saw that after they left, he took some belongings, packed them in the Ghost King cloth bag, and then strode out of the door.
He was going to send Zhang Yingjie to reincarnate.
This is a promise to the Zhang couple.
