The peasant girl is mighty

Chapter 128 The River God Marries His Wife

Lin Yu set up an accounting department to calculate all kinds of expenses for her.

The 10 taels of silver must be used to build the river, and no one is allowed to be greedy for a penny.

After getting the order, Lin Yu took the tools and talents and set off.

Mrs. Mei (Miss Mei) also followed. She is the head of Lin Yu's logistics department, and she is responsible for all food expenses.

When Wa Zi and Mei Shi got married, they invited relatives and friends to dinner, which didn't make much difference.

A group of people came to Ye County, met with the county magistrate, and asked him to send men to help open the river.

Following Lin Yu to Daji under the jurisdiction of Ye County, he saw that the fields were barren and sparsely populated.

Lin Jiadong: "This place is so desolate, worse than ours."

"There is no one around here, they all moved away because of lack of water."

Lin Yu: "Maybe. Last time I came here, I didn't see anyone. I walked a lot of places before I saw a single family.

They are quite xenophobic, they don't want to talk to me, and they don't know what's going on here.

Have a drink, we're ready to go. "

She took out bulldozers and excavators, but because there were no good roads, she didn't bring out big trucks.

A group of people were working on the mountain, and nearby villagers came over and asked, "What do you do?"

Lin Yu went over and said, "We were ordered by the magistrate to open canals and deliver water to you."

"Send water? We have no shortage of water."

"There is no shortage of water, why is the population so small? There is no one to cultivate the fields."

Seeing that Lin Yu had a background, the old man sighed and said, "It's all because of the river god marrying his wife.

The river god is the god of the Zhanghe River, and every year he wants to marry a young and beautiful girl.If it is not sent to him, the Zhanghe River will flood and flood the fields. "

Lin Yu asked, "Who said that?"

The old man said: "The witch said it. The local officials and gentry come forward to hold weddings for the river god every year and force the common people to pay.

Every time there is a disturbance, they charge millions of dollars, and only two or three million yuan is spent on the wedding, and the extra will be shared with the witch. "

Millions of dollars!

"How do you spend so much money?"

"Is this place so rich?"

Everyone was surprised by the millions of dollars.

Lin Yu asked: "These people are greedy enough, where did the bride come from?"

The old man said: "Wherever there is a young girl, the witch will take people there to choose.

The rich ones spent a little money and went there, but those who had no money had to watch the girl being dragged away by them.

On the day when the river god married his wife, they put a reed mat by the Zhang River, dressed the girl up, and let her sit on the reed mat and float along the water.

Wei Xixian was still floating, but when he got to the middle of the river, the girl sank together.

Families with girls have almost all fled to other places, so the population is getting smaller and smaller, and the place is getting poorer and poorer. "

Lin Jiadong felt that something was wrong, "Aren't people allowed to drown in water?"

Mei (Miss Mei): "I've never heard of the river god getting married. It must be a hoax."

"It's a scam."

Lin Yu told them not to talk, and she asked the old man, "Has the Zhang River flooded yet?"

The old man said: "It hasn't been issued. It's rainy in summer, and there is drought every year."

Knowing that it was a scam, Lin Yu sneered and said, "In this way, the God of the River is really spirited. The next time he marries a wife, please let me know, and I will also send the bride off."

Several people surrounded Lin Yu, "Golden Phoenix, they are doing harm."

"The people here are not good people. Not to mention cheating money, they even cheated women's lives."

"Golden Phoenix, we can't let them go."

Lin Yu: "Let's do the work first, because there is drought here every year, there must be a shortage of water.

When the day came when the God of the River married his wife, we went to play with them. "

"it is good."

On the day when the God of the River married his wife, the Zhang River was full of ordinary people.Lin Yu really came with the workers.

Lin Yu saw the magistrate of Ye County standing beside the witch.

When the county magistrate saw Lin Yu coming, he hurriedly went to greet him with witches and officials.

The witch was over 70 years old, and was followed by a dozen or so female apprentices in silk gowns.

Lin Yu ignored the county magistrate, and said to the witch: "Bring the bride here and let me see it."

The witch asked the apprentice to bring the dressed girl.

Lin Yu saw that the girl's face was full of tears, and the girl's parents not far away were even more tearful.

She turned her head and said to the witch: "No, this girl is not beautiful, and the River God will not be satisfied. Please tell the River God that I want to choose a beautiful one and send it in a few days." , He asked Lin Jiadong and others to set up the witch and throw her into the Zhang River.

"Master Lin, what are you doing? This is a sacrifice to the river god, and let the river god bless the weather."

Lin Yu looked at the magistrate of Ye County coldly.

The witch flopped a few times in the river and then sank.wait a while,

Lin Yu said to the leader of the officials and gentry: "Why hasn't the witch come back, please go and remind me." After speaking, he asked the guards to throw the county magistrate of Ye County into the Zhang River.

The county magistrate of Ye County struggled and shouted, "I am an official ordered by the court, you can't treat me like this."

"Why are you still standing, save me quickly."

The local yamen servants wanted to move, but they were not very courageous, because they saw that the county magistrate was respectful to this woman, and they also heard that this female official was a fifth-rank official, much older than the county magistrate.

The people in the government office do not move, and it is even more impossible for the people to move.

No one came to rescue him, and the county magistrate was thrown into the river.

Lin Yu stood facing the Zhanghe River for a long time, and the rest of the officials and gentry were in fear and did not dare to show their anger.

Lin Yu turned around, looked at them and said, "Why don't you come back, please hurry up!" He said and asked someone to throw them into the Zhang River.

The officials and gentry were so frightened that their faces turned ashen. They knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy, and their heads were smashed, bleeding.

"My lord, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive me."

"My lord, this matter is done by the county magistrate, and has nothing to do with us."

"My lord, please forgive me. It's all about the conspiracy of the witch and the county magistrate. It has nothing to do with us."

If it weren't for the construction of the river and the recruitment of civilian husbands by these people, she really wanted to wipe out all these cannibal officials.

You can't do it in one pot, you can only boil the frogs in warm water, there is always a chance to kill them.

Lin Yu said, "Okay, wait a little longer."

After a while, she said: "Get up. It seems that the river god left them behind. You all go back."

Lin Yu picked up the loudspeaker and said to the people on the river bank: "The river god's marriage is a scam, cheating your hard-earned money and your daughter.

You see both the witch and the county magistrate went down, but they didn't come back. What does that mean?
It means that there is no river god at all.If you don't believe me, you can jump down and find out.

If anyone can find the river god from the river, I will give you ten taels of silver. "

"Because of your special location, there is not much rain in summer, and the coir raincoat is dry all year round.

This official was ordered to open the canal and bring you water to grow your crops.

If anyone dares to mention the marriage of the river god again, I will send him to see the river god first. "

The common people all understand that witches and officials are cheating money and harming people.From then on, no one dared to mention marrying the God of the River again.

Lin Yu mobilized the common people to dig river channels and twelve canals, divert the water from the Dalan River to the canal fields, irrigate the crops, and get good harvests every year in the future.
