Three Kingdoms in a box

Chapter 116 Shocked Tian Feng

Zhang Jiao rode his horse and finally rushed back to Xiagouhe Village. Zhang Bao was working with the believers in the village, leading the believers to dig canals and dredge the water channels for the planted seedlings.

As long as the water channel is dredged, half of the seedling irrigation problem can be solved, which will be of great benefit to their food cultivation. Zhang Bao has even thought about it. After the autumn harvest, they are also preparing to present a memorial to the great sage and the immortal Your Majesty, lead the people to build reservoirs and dig canals, which can largely solve the problem of water shortage in the village.

Even when it snows in winter, they can store snow water for farming next year!

In this way, even if they continue to encounter disasters in the coming year, they will still be able to resist!

Although they have the Immortal Lord as their backer, they don't want to rest on their laurels, especially since one of their Taiping Tao teachings is that heaven moves vigorously and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement!
The Immortal Lord is the backing of everyone, and is everyone's last hope, but I also hope that everyone will not rely on this last hope, but should rely on themselves.

The human race has been able to survive to this day not only by the blessings of gods and Buddhas all over the sky, but more importantly, by relying on oneself to reach today step by step, and the Chinese nation itself is a hard-working nation.

As long as you give them a way to survive, no matter how difficult it is, they will continue unswervingly.

The Immortal Lord is your last support, just like your parents, who support you, but how far you can go depends on yourself!

Zhang Jiao ran all the way back. Zhang Bao and others saw Zhang Jiao in the field. Zhang Bao immediately led people to meet him and said, "Great Master, why are you so panicked? Could it be Su Shuang, the horse seller?"

Zhang Jiaoyan said: "It's not Su Shuang, but someone from the county."

"Is there someone from the county?"

Zhang Bao was also surprised. It was not the day to collect taxes, so how could people from this county come inexplicably?

"This is really strange."

Zhang Jiao also looked at Zhang Bao at this time and said, "What are you doing?"

After hearing this, Zhang Baodao said: "Oh, I see that everyone is idle, so I will lead them to repair the canals in our village."

After hearing this, Zhang Jiao nodded and said, "Second brother, it's better to think long-term!"

Zhang Baodao: "Haha, my little ability is nothing. It's because of the food given by the Immortal Lord that I can do anything."

Zhang Bao was right. The victims of the disaster and the original residents of Xiagouhe Village were all without food. If Li Yu hadn't given them food to eat and drink, they would all have starved to death by now.

But now that Li Yu has provided them with food, they have enough to eat and are strong enough. Except for the young and strong people who go to serve as soldiers, the remaining group will stay to work and make plans for the future. This is what Zhang Bao has done recently. Think about the method of using work for relief as mentioned by the Immortal Lord!
Relying on relief is never an answer. Only by allowing everyone to become self-reliant can we develop.

At the same time, these days, a group of these well-fed and powerful believers have slowly emerged. They are thirteen or fourteen years old and want to be a member of the security army. However, they are not old enough to recruit soldiers to the security army. Only young people in this age range can reach the age of 30. Meet recruitment standards.

Zhang Bao had no choice but to organize them, and they became the first militia team in Xiagouhe Village. For the militia team, in normal life, they spend an hour every day training military skills.

It is also a force that is developing secretly in Xiagouhe Village!
Zhang Jiao tied up his horse, changed into short clothes, followed Zhang Bao to the team, and started digging ditches. They worked like this for about half an hour.

There is a carriage approaching slowly in the distance!
At this time, all the government officials escorted Tian Feng to come here. Tian Feng looked out through the car window, and for the first time there was a surprised expression on his face, because he found that the rice seedlings in Xiagouhe Village were growing exceptionally lush and good.

Along the way, he had seen too many rice seedlings that died of drought. There was a severe drought in Guang'a County this year, and the people were miserable. There were traces of refugees everywhere. He originally thought that Xiagouhe Village was also a withered and yellow landscape.

But now when I look through the window, I find that the crops in the entire Xiagouhe Village are growing more luxuriantly than those with abundant rain. Looking at this situation, in this disaster year, not only will the food production in Xiagouhe Village not decrease, but it will even cause food shortages. What a great harvest!

How was this done? Tian Feng had a trace of horror on his face, and he couldn't help but said: "Qian Shao, the countryman from Xiagouhe Village, is very capable. In this disaster year, he was able to make the crops in the village grow." It is so lush and there is not an acre of wasteland, this is a capable official!"

After hearing this, everyone nodded in unison. It is true that in the midst of the turmoil, Xiagouhe Village is so unique, it is really eye-catching!

Tian Feng said: "Hurry up and hurry up, I can't wait to see this money stingy man now."

All the government officials responded: "Yes."

Immediately afterwards, he waved his riding whip and accelerated the car. Soon the car came to the entrance of the village. At this time, Tian Feng saw a group of farmers working together to dig ditches in the fields. Seeing this scene, Tian Feng couldn't help but lift the curtain of the car. , get off the car.

The officer on the side said: "Your Excellency, the dirt roads in the countryside are muddy and difficult to navigate. Please don't get off the carriage, otherwise your shoes will be soiled."

When Tian Feng heard this, he waved his hand and said, "I came to Guang'a County to be the county magistrate to do practical things. How can I despise the muddy road? It's not in the way, it's not in the way!"

At this time Tian Feng jumped out of the car and walked along the path to Xiagouhe Village.

He visited several villages along the way, and each one turned out to be miserable. The people were numb, and many fields were barren due to drought. Looking at the withered and dead crops, Tian Feng's heart felt like a knife!
It is true that he comes from a wealthy family, but he is a person who wants to do practical things, so this also makes him incompatible with those in the family.

As soon as he arrived at Xiagouhe Village today, he was shocked by the crops in the village.

The crops here are growing so well, as if an immortal has cast magic on the crops.

In fact, he was indeed right. There were immortals who cast magic on the crops, and the name of the magic was chemical fertilizer!

Yes, the reason why these crops can grow so tall and fine is because Li Yu used a watering can to dissolve some fertilizer water and water the crops here.

This also led to the gratifying growth of these crops, which heralded a bumper harvest this year. When the people saw that the crops blessed by Li Yu were growing so well, they trusted the immortal even more!
At this time, Tian Feng was walking on the dirt in the countryside. The mud stained his shoes. He was not unhappy at all. On the contrary, he had a smile on his face.

At this time, he walked to a ditch digging site, and Tian Feng saw a group of farmers digging ditches.

Tian Feng asked on the shore: "My father-in-law, what are you doing here?"

At this time, an old man who was digging a canal looked up and saw Tian Feng. He was a little surprised and said: "Where did the noble man come from? We are digging a canal!"

Tian Feng hadn't spoken at this time. At this time, the government official on the side said: "Old guy, this is the new Tian Feng in our county. Mr. Tian, ​​why don't you kneel down?"

After hearing this, the old man was shocked. He didn't expect it to be a butler.

Just as the old man was about to climb ashore to greet him, Tian Feng said to the government servant behind him: "Don't be rude." He then said to the old man in a friendly manner: "Don't panic, I don't need to salute. I'm just curious and asking about some things."

After hearing this, the old man was a little frightened and said: "Sir, please tell me."

Tian Feng smiled when he heard this and said, "Well, it's not a big deal. I just saw you guys digging ditches here. I'm curious who organized it?"

Tian Feng felt that this kind of thing must have been organized by the village stalwarts. After all, things like building canals are generally organized by the government, not private organizations, and it is difficult for private organizations to organize them!
After hearing this, the old man said: "This, this is all organized by the Great Master!"

"Great Master?!"

Tian Feng frowned when he heard this, looked at the old man and said, "What is a great teacher?"

After hearing this, the old man said: "The great wise teacher is the immortal walking in the world. He was sent by the gods to save us!"

"evil ways?"

Tian Feng's voice gradually became colder, and after hearing this, the old man suddenly became unhappy. He looked at Tian Feng and said: "Master County Magistrate, I know you are a high official in the city, but you can't insult us for no reason. Great teacher!
"Bold, you are so brave. You dare to question the county magistrate. The county magistrate said that the great sage and good teacher is evil, so he is evil. You still dare to argue!"

The officer's words were so loud that they spread throughout the canal construction site.

This immediately caused everyone to put down their tools and look at this side coldly, and even more impulsively wanted to go over to see who dared to shamelessly insult the great virtuous master, but Zhang Jiao grabbed him and said: "Don't be impulsive! "

"Great Master, that dog officer dares to insult you!"

Zhang Jiao said: "It doesn't matter."

Tian Feng was shocked when he saw that the officer's words had caused so many people to look this way. Could it be that evil has already won the hearts of the people?

You must know that the Han officials do not like these Taoists who spread gods, gods, and ghosts. However, if their reputation is too great, no one dares to touch them.

In the land of Jiangdong, the living god Yu Ji was very popular, which made the little overlord Sun Ce very dissatisfied. He ignored the public anger and killed him. Later, he almost provoked a popular uprising. The last generation of overlords was assassinated. Who dares to say that there is no influence of Yu Ji. inside.

So Tian Feng also felt it was very difficult at this time.

At this time, a young man of [-] or [-] years old stood beside the old man and looked at the yamen servant and said, "Don't talk nonsense. The great sage and good teacher is an immortal who personally walks the earth. If you dare to be disrespectful again, please leave our Xiagouhe Village." , we don’t welcome you!”

After hearing this, the yamen officer snorted coldly: "Do you want to rebel? We are officials. How dare you speak to us like this!"

After hearing this, the young man's blood surged and he shouted: "Guan family, when have you ever had the housekeeper take care of the life and death of our people? Damn it, if it doesn't rain, the seedlings in our Xiagouhe Village will almost wither. If it hadn't been for the great sage and good teacher to ask for help, Ganlin, save this seedling, I can’t wait until winter to starve to death! There is still time for your officials to show off their power!"

"When we were about to starve to death, you officials did not come out. Now, under the protection of the Immortal Lord, we live and work in peace and contentment and are self-reliant, but you say that our great sage and mentor is evil. What kind of peace of mind do you have? If there is no Thanks to the help of our great sage and mentor, we are now all withered bones in the grave!"

"I can still hear you waiting here and the dogs barking, telling me to wait!"

During the Han Dynasty, the people were tough and martial arts prevailed. Therefore, tough Han people were not just submissive when faced with official duties!

What's more, the young man is only twelve or thirteen years old. It's the time when his blood is rising and his emotions are rising. I don't care whether you are an official or not!

"How dare you insult a certain family and seek death!"

The officer was furious and pulled out the sword from his waist, but then Tian Feng shouted: "Put the sword away."

"My lord, he insulted me!"

Tian Feng still said without any doubt: "Put the knife away."

"promise."

The officer reluctantly inserted the knife into the scabbard, his face full of dissatisfaction.

Tian Feng stopped the yamen servant, then looked at the young man and said, "Oh, as you say, the crops in Xiagouhe Village are able to grow so well now, is it all the credit of your great teacher?"

After hearing this, the young man said: "That's natural."

Tian Feng nodded gently when he heard this and said, "I see. If that's the case, can you recommend me a great teacher in your village?"

"Why not!"

As the young man spoke, he turned to look at Zhang Jiao, who was not far away. Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao were standing at this time, and they also looked at Tian Feng. The two looked at each other, and Zhang Bao on the side said: "Brother, be careful, this person seems to be They are from the Tian family of our wealthy Julu family!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jiao said: "I know that he was promoted as a talented person before he even got the title. He entered Luoyang to further his studies in the official school, and was later promoted to Shi Yushi. His official career is prosperous!

"Well, I heard that this man had an upright character. Later he offended the eunuchs and was dismissed from his official position. But today he was appointed as the Prime Minister of Guang'a County!"

Zhang Bao said from the side.

Zhang Jiao said: "The Tian family and the governor Han Fu are family friends. This Tian Feng is a great talent. If the Tian family wants to get Han Fu, Han Fu will have to buy some face!"

"Okay, he's here, I'll go meet him!"

As Zhang Jiao spoke, he pulled his feet out of the mud and met Tian Feng who was approaching. When he got closer, Zhang Jiao cupped his hands and said, "I've seen the county magistrate Zhang Jiao. I don't know that it's not the day to pay taxes yet. The county magistrate has come down in person, what are you doing?"

Hearing this, Tian Feng looked at Zhang Jiao and said, "I know you, Zhang Jiao, the son of the county magistrate Zhang Feng, failed to promote talents half a year ago. Unexpectedly, he returned to the village and became a great teacher. How unpredictable things are! "

Hearing this, Zhang Jiao said: "The world is not good for people. Fortunately, a certain family received the blessing of the immortal, got the opportunity, and had the ability to save the people. Only then was it elected as a great sage and mentor by the villagers. It is embarrassing to say that a certain family has never Do a lot.”

Zhang Jiao looked around. The lush crops seemed to echo Zhang Jiao. Yes, I didn't do much. I just helped the people grow their crops more vigorously than before, turning a disaster year into a good year. That's all I did. With a little bit of credit, he deserves to be a sincere and virtuous teacher to the people!
It has to be those of you who have no regard for the life and death of the people and are evil-hearted to be able to bear the words "Sir!"
