The county seat of Nancang County, the Shaojun Temple in the north of the city.

This is not the location of the water house, but there is a symbolic shrine connection, and it is the right to make wishes for the people.

The heavy rain stopped, and many people came to worship, and the incense was very strong......

"Lord Taishou arrived" Someone in front of him opened the way, and the pilgrims on the left and right retreated.

Yu Chengen got out of the car, squinted and looked, only to see that this Shaojun Temple is very spectacular because of the good incense, there is a two-zhang high main hall, and the left and right are side halls, which are green and green in the sun.

The stage, storytelling, tricks, selling medicine, splitting words and fortune telling, and selling snacks are all very lively.

Yu Chengen looked at Xu Busi, and Jun Cheng was smiling: "My lord, Yaxing is not shallow, there are many monument galleries in this temple, and it is a good place to watch." ”

Yu Chengen was careless and went straight in.

Although the pilgrims drove out, but the high incense flame on the door of the hall was swirling, and it felt hot when it was three meters away, Yu Chengen looked at the hall, and the same cigarette was curling.

The left and right tents and flags are layered with a goddess.

The statue was originally a middle-aged male god for a hundred years, and the rainy night changed suddenly half a year ago, it was this young goddess, with a beautiful face, hidden behind the curtain, and those who saw it would know that the road was shocking.

The new Taishou Yu Chengen brought the officials forward to worship, the main sacrifice was lengthy, the etiquette was cumbersome, and the honorariums were also many

The official chariots and horses that came out set out, and they were again open to the people.

After the crowd of people watched, they didn't care, in their perception, there were such formal sacrifices in previous years, which is a long-standing custom.

The huge ox cart can accommodate many people, among which Yu Chengen closed his eyes and lay on the soft collapse, as if he was asleep, and asked for a long time: "Since the surge in water in the north of the county that night, this is the third time I have asked to stop the rain, and when the rain stops, I will come to repay my wish...... Guess what I'd do if it rained all the time?"

Juncheng is also new not long ago, and there is a kind of caution in the face of the new mother-in-law: "The lower official is foolish...... But ask for it again?"

Yu Chengen laughed: "In this way, I'll tell you a story......

Several subordinate officials leaned over and said that they were listening, and they heard Yu Chengen say: "In the early years of the previous dynasty, the county was too shou Chenjie because of continuous drought, and led the bureaucrats to the Shaojun Temple to ask for rain, and asked once, but it did not rain. ”

Chen Jie begged a second time, but it still didn't rain...... By the end of the third prayer, there was still not a drop of rain...... Guess what he does?"

Jun Cheng opened his mouth, his forehead was slightly sweaty, he had read history books and knew the allusion of Lu Dao, and he was only a little chilly at this time

Yu Chengen saw it in his eyes and continued to narrate: "Chen Jie pointed to the young monarch of Shuifu and scolded, you are the god of water, you are in charge of water affairs, and you enjoy the incense of the people every day, you should protect one side of the water affairs, and now it has not rained for so long, isn't it a dereliction of duty? What should the people do? What qualifications do you have to enjoy incense here? So ...... Ordered the Shaojun Temple to be smashed and the statue of the Shaojun God thrown into the Qingshui River to feed the fish. ”

"Just in the morning, I heard Fan'er tell this story, and I almost wanted to do it......" Yu Chengen laughed, seeing that they were sweating one by one, he patted Jun Cheng's shoulder generously: "It's sunny, pay attention to reducing your clothes." ”

After a cold scene, everyone echoed: "Yes, yes......"

Some even took the initiative to take off their coats, ignoring the season, which made Yu Chengen very satisfied, and swept to the county where his face changed: "What does Lord Jun Cheng think." ”

This is not called a name, but a position, has revealed a trace of not very good feeling, at this time must make up for flattery, but not directly superiors and subordinates, but also pay attention to the dignity of the court, and dare not offend a county water envoy, this county Cheng smiled: "This story is good, we are officials, we must be so pragmatic......"

"Huh. Yu Chengen smiled and nodded to accept this statement, but he was thinking about the conversation with his son Yu Fan, not in the morning, but a few days ago.

Originally, in order to avoid suspicion, Yu Chengen couldn't be the Taishou of Nancang County, and it is said that the appointment of the Taishou of Luhua County was going to be issued, but he was still appointed and went to Nancang County as the Taishou.

It is said that the governor has made a lot of efforts, and this is not enough, there is a sentence that Yu Chengen agrees with - it is no longer a peaceful season, Ye Qing's current scenery, what about the strength of the identity of heaven and man?

really made the governor dare not do his best, but relying on the Dragon Palace, if the two dragon ladies did not fall, Ye Qing would have a lot of room to move

I don't know how Ye Qing coaxed them into marrying privately, now they are not officially married, they have no official title, it's like this, with them here, whoever directly uses crushing to deal with them will have to cast a rat bogey......"

Yu Chengen has passed the age of admiring men and women, and he just thought about it for a moment, and then turned back to today's events.

It's a pity that the time is not fake, and I didn't find a chance to go crazy, otherwise the trouble will be suspended from the water government to be investigated, although most of the time will not be over, but isn't it a time difference?

As for the backlash, he is not afraid, in fact, the legend of Chen Jie smashing the temple is really true, and the lawsuit in the heavenly court is not resolved, but the inside story is a bit tricky, not all partiality, the dragon clan itself has a loss, and the other is that it doesn't matter about the incense.

Compared with some Shuifu envoys from human Shinto, the dragon clan doesn't care about this incense offering, because there is no life and death feud, and the trouble is just to fight for face.

They insist on following their own path, from the dragon heir bloodline of all souls, to Jiao, to the dragon, and the dragon king, the dragon king, it is rumored that above the dragon king, there was an emperor...... History Zai Hao traveled all over the world and often lived in the North Underworld

However, when the Heavenly Court rose, the last generation of dragon emperors had mysteriously disappeared, and in the legends of the human race, it was it that rose one night, chased a comet in the sky, and swam directly out of the sky......

After the defeat, the dragon steadfastly refused to admit this claim and prophesied that it would one day return...... The wail of the vanquished.

Thinking of such ancient history, Yu Chengen put down the battle report of Pingshou County in his hand, watched the Shaojun Temple disappear backwards and disappeared into the window, and the bustling market came to him, no matter what, this is the world of the human race......

So some aliens are better at being self-conscious, aren't they?

Yejiazhuang, Pingshou County

An ox cart drove slowly by, surrounded by several pro-soldiers.

The same situation will have different interpretations in the eyes of different people, Lu Ming was very confident in Ye Qing, and then looked through the window.

At this time, it was already night, and I saw that the popularity of Yejiazhuang was becoming more and more prosperous, crisscrossing the streets, street lamps everywhere, continuous houses were newly built, and some of the middle households moved in, and some even moved their own furniture, cattle and horses, and soft belongings.

Or because he has faced the invasion of demons, the big family is still gone, and Zhonghu is the most uneasy about the troubled times, and privately thinks that the Yejiazhuang area is the safest.

At least this winter they won't leave, and they're going to stay here until the spring.

So, at this time, I only saw that it was night, and the vicinity of Yejiazhuang was lively, and the Xinfang construction site was under construction overnight, and the lights were brilliant.

This was expected by Lu Ming, some families were left because magma and floods destroyed the nest, but more families were joining in the excitement - the Ye family was building a large number of buildings, lacking manpower, giving wages to recruit young and strong people to live, and the post stated that both men and women were paid, which immediately attracted many people.

"What a local tyrant...... Lu Ming shook his head and thought, in the brilliant lights, the ox cart drove into the Ye Mansion, leaving a deep rut, as if carrying heavy loads, some of the pro-soldiers glanced at it, and narrowed their eyes...... I've cleaned up a lot of battlefields, and I'm all too familiar with this.

"Lord Mingfu is here, there must be good news," Ye Qing's hearty laughter came out.

Lu Ming didn't give him a face: "I'll give you bad news, the big array cost 600,000 taels, and the state didn't respond at all, and only allocated 20,000 yuan as a pension for the servants." ”

"Oh?" Ye Qing's expression remained unchanged: "I would like to hear it in detail." ”

"Sword Immortal's battle order, the justifiable military expenditure, can you really refuse? It seems that you want to drag it out, and use this method to deal with you, some people are really completely shameless. ”

"I've been hit by the pond fish. Lu Ming just shook his head, and asked the servants to move more than a dozen boxes from the convoy one after another, and they were all silver taels when they were opened: "I'll pay you back this money first, but it's okay, the first 300,000 taels is what I owe you, and the second time I can't reimburse it...... It's not my business. ”

When he said this number, Lu Ming's face was as black as the bottom of the pot.

If you want to be a dignified Lu family, the rice, medicine, shipbuilding and shipping business is all over the south of the state, and even penetrates downstream to Lingzhou along the long river waterway, and the shipyard and fleet themselves are very valuable, and these two items alone have assets of tens of millions, which is the confidence of the old county in the economic boom area.

However, the liquidity is distributed all over the country, and it is not easy to transfer it to the north, and the strength of the local money bank in Pingshou County is small, so he can't make it up for a while, so he still asked his wife to take 50,000 yuan of private money to fill in......

Ye Qing didn't know the inside story, so he only summoned two deacons from the Department of Integrity to come over and count the money, and then said to Lu Ming: "Are you going to suffer this loss?"

Lu Ming didn't hide it: "I will definitely fight the 600,000 taels of arrears lawsuit, I can compensate a little, if I don't fight, I don't have a penny, and this pension is only enough to smooth the county officials, the county government is rebuilt, the big array is reset, and the relief of the people in the military disaster is lacking a large amount of money, when will I speak out as a parent official?"

"Well, that's right. Ye Qing sighed slightly, and when he saw that he was leaving, he hurriedly said, "If you come, you won't be busy leaving, let's sit together." ”

Lu Ming followed into the Lan Courtyard, glanced at the empty space, couldn't find half of the servants, and said disdainfully: "Your house is busy like this, what else can you entertain me?"

Ye Qing was not weak, and called Qianqian over: "I'm very busy now, even a few cooks in my courtyard are helping to cook a big pot of rice, there is nothing to entertain you, only this glass of water." ”

Lu Ming only smiled and shook his head, all the way, it seemed that this person had a very heavy burden, no less than him: "Okay, just come and drink your glass of water, I will buy you a glass of water for 300,000 taels to drink, is it worth it?"

He joked, and after drinking this cup, he waved his sleeves and got up: "Don't send it, I'll be ......told by Mrs. when I'm late."

Thinking of something, he turned to look at Ye Qing: "I will press you for what the Nan Cang family is doing." ”

"Thank you. ”

"Just once. Lu Ming's clothes flew away, and the wheels rolled and disappeared into the night.

This may be the friendship between gentlemen who are as light as water, when Ye Qing looked at him far away, he connected with his previous life and thought to himself

"Hey, people are leaving so soon...... Qianqian was annoyed when she rushed over, and asked with a smile: "What is the husband thinking?"

Ye Qing said casually: "I'm thinking, this is not just the benefit of sending troops to risk saving his family, I have saved more people, but how many are like this?"

People have received favors, if it is a small favor, most of them will be repaid, but once they are big, many will feel distressed, Lu Ming repaid the 300,000 taels, and he is already a gentleman among people.

Ye Qing himself knows the inside story, Yu Fan's rumors are nine true and one false, but Da Cai has been peaceful for three hundred years, and it is already inertia for each family to fear power, and the pressure from the state city will be leaked bit by bit, and even magnified to them.

Qianqian's mind is now clear, and she circled around the 300,000 taels twice, and asked, "Is there no problem with Lu Ming?"

Ye Qing would not give her a perfunctory answer, thought for a while and said: "The five-grade Hanlin rewarded by the imperial court, the good news of Nan Lianbo, these big families in the county still don't know the way, but Lu Ming must know the way, so there is this matter of repaying the silver, but now Lu Ming can still support it, but if the situation is worse, these 300,000 taels will be regarded as a good fate." ”

Speaking of this, Ye Qing smiled and didn't say anything more, in the face of pressure from the state capital, he wasn't sure how long Lu Ming could hold out, and he didn't know how long the core allies of Cao Jiang could last, but Ye Qing knew that he had to hold on, even if he had to fall, it would be after all the enemies had fallen.

After all, you can't put your hopes in others.

It seems that there is no need to scruple about the need to speed up the pace - for example, the steam engine, for example, the formal alliance of waters, and even the much-needed title
