Yangzhou, Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Liben stood by the lotus pond, holding a porcelain bowl in one hand and a golden spoon in the other, picking fish food and scattering it into the blue waves.

However, there are obviously colorful swimming fish in the pond, lazily wandering among the lotus leaves, but none of them come to eat.

Occasionally, a large koi fish passed in front of him, but they still ignored the fish food he threw and swam away.

Ye stood aside holding an umbrella for the two, and couldn't help but remind:

"My lord, why don't you feed some bran...... Fish don't eat sand. ”

"The old man feeds the small fish." Zhao Liben was unmoved, and continued to pour the sand in the bowl into the water and said, "Didn't you say that big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat sand?" ”

Ye was about to say, 'That's just a metaphor ......', but then he realized how could an adult not know?

Just like Jiang Taigong fishing, Zhao Taigong must have a deep meaning in feeding fish!

Jiang Ziya is to fish for Kaizi, oh no, to attract King Zhou Wen.

What about adults? Attract...... Concubines?

Ye couldn't help but be shy, looked up at Zhao Liben and said, "An adult is worthy of being an adult, every move is unfathomable." ”

"What do you think of again?" Zhao Liben smiled freely.

"Adults are as wise as the sea, how can they be concubines?" Ye Shi hurriedly shook his head and said softly: "But are you worried about the second master?" ”

"Hmph, what's there to worry about?" Zhao Liben sneered and said: "That rebel son has my good grandson by his side, including Xu Wenchang, Wu Chengen, Jin Ke, and Li Zhen...... There are also dozens of prisoners and Beijing stewards who are busy with other things. He's a pig, and he's all the way to the governor. ”

"Adults really love and take responsibility." The Ye family couldn't listen to it anymore, and spoke for Zhao Shouzheng: "The second master is a dignified champion, how can he compare with a pig?" ”

"If he weren't a pig, he would have let that vicious woman be tricked?" Zhao Liben was so angry that he put the porcelain bowl on the railing.

Who the hell poured sand into the fish food bowl, don't you know Lao Tzu's dazzling eyes?

"No, you can't let that vicious woman reach out to Lao Tzu's territory. Go, let your brother invite a few chief salt merchants to come over, the old man has something important to discuss! ”

"Yes, sir." Ye Shi responded gently, and said in his heart that the adult is really hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, obviously he is worried about the second master.

~~

Nanshan Temple has been transformed into a flood control command office.

In the main hall, the Buddha sat on the lotus platform, looking at the eight big characters written on the wall with compassion, "It is the responsibility to defend the land and defend the homeland"!

On the side wall of the main hall, there is a huge map of river defense.

The picture was more than a foot long and seven feet high. It was enlarged by Xu Wei according to the map of the Kunshan River basin of the Wusong River drawn by Zheng Ruozeng in the same scale.

At this time, on the winding Wusong River Road, fifty-two small pieces of paper have been densely pasted, and only the four names of 'Zhao Shouzheng', 'He Wenwei', 'Bai Shouli', and 'Xiong Xiasheng' are written on the paper, and the remaining forty-eight sheets are still empty.

The Wusong River has a total of 62 miles of river in Kunshan County. Zhao Shouzheng divided it into four major defense areas, and he and He Xiancheng, Bai Zhushu, and Xiong Dianshi each led a defense area.

Each defense area is divided into a dozen sections of varying numbers, and each section is set up with a section chief.

The section chief is responsible for organizing the people assigned to him, repairing, maintaining and inspecting the corresponding river section of the embankment, and reporting to the district chief in time if there is any danger. and obey the dispatch of the district chief and commander-in-chief, and support the brother sector when necessary.

However, the eldest lord did not appoint the section chiefs on his own, but ordered the district chiefs to recruit and appoint them among the miscellaneous officials, scribes, and gentry.

In this way, people with good relationships can be grouped together to avoid contradictions.

And the importance of each defense zone to the gentry was very different...... For example, the Zheng family's fields and manors are all north of Nanshan Temple, so naturally they are most concerned about Zhao Erye's defense area.

And the Gu family's industries are all in Yaojiayan upstream, and even if the Nanshan Temple bursts the embankment, it will not be able to flood the Gu family. Therefore, Gu Dadong will definitely choose the defense area of the white master book.

These subtle differences are only known to each person himself, so let them mix and match freely in order to be conscientious.

After the grouping was completed, Zhao Shouzheng asked everyone to write their names.

Then he took them to offer incense to the Buddha and swore together in front of the Buddha.

"Never leave your post without permission, paralyzed carelessness! Never pass the buck and perfunctory! Never know and don't report, and don't save when you die! Never disobey orders and flee from the battle! ”

"If you violate this oath, you will be thundered and struck by heaven, and you will fall into hell forever after death!"

Before the words fell, a magical scene happened.

Everyone saw the golden body of the Buddha and was full of color, making the whole hall shine!

"Ah, the Buddha has manifested his spirits......"

He Wenwei, Gu Dadong and others exclaimed one after another.

Looking at the colorful light that flickered and projected on the roof of the hall, the officials and gentry were either frightened and worshipped.

No one dares not take their oath seriously.

The Buddha has listened to the apparition and violated the vow he made before the Buddha that he will really be struck by thunder from the sky and go to hell......

When the vision disappeared and the hall returned to normal, Zhao Shouzheng took the officials and gentry to get up. Then Zhao Erye turned around and said to everyone with a serious expression:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Buddha has compassion and can't bear to see our people in Kunshan continue to suffer. With the blessing of the Buddha this time, we will definitely be able to defend the river embankment! Keep our homeland! ”

"People are on the embankment, and people are dying on the embankment!" The agitated gentry shouted slogans that were even more radical than Zhao Erye's.

"People are on the embankment, and people are dying on the embankment!" The crowd shouted.

The atmosphere in the main hall immediately changed.

Everyone looked at the map of the river defense with their names written on it, and suddenly gave birth to a sense of sacredness and responsibility that was closely linked to the river embankment.

In addition to being excited, Master Gu immediately announced that he would donate 300 stone of grain for food!

Zheng Ruozeng also followed suit and announced a donation of 200 stones for disaster relief.

Dai Gao, the old man of the Dai family, also donated 200 stones. The other two families, the Mao family and the Zhou family, also pledged 200 stones.

This is destined to be written into the county chronicles, and eighty percent will also be erected as a monument. How can you be behind men?

What's more, if you still pledge in front of the Buddha, you will have great merit and great blessing.

The other eighteen families also donated generously, one hundred and fifty.

Combined, each family donated a total of 2,003 stone of grain. Although it is still a drop in the bucket, it has more or less done its best.

is completely different from the previous stinginess, and the attitude is completely different.

The Buddha smiled and stared at everything in front of him.

~~

When everyone came out of Nanshan Temple, they were all in good spirits, shouting loudly for their entourage, and rushed to their respective defense areas.

He Wenwei and Bai Shouli walked down the embankment side by side.

He Xiancheng looked back at the tattered Nanshan Temple as he walked.

As a result, when he was about to go down the embankment, he accidentally slipped under his feet and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Bai Shouli helped him.

"Damn, what a wicked one." After He Wenwei stood firm, he said with a wry smile on his face: "Just bring one or two hundred good hands to take office, and even the Buddha will give him a town." ”

"Yes, the backstage of this Wenqu star is really hard. Originally, I thought that people drove us out of the county in order to divert the tiger from the mountain, alas, I really thought highly of myself. Master Bai also thought deeply and said: "In the eyes of others, what kind of tigers are we?" It's not even as good as a kitten. ”

"I'm convinced, I'm really convinced." He Xiancheng gave up his senseless self-esteem, and completely accepted his fate: "The eldest master is a god descending to earth, what do we ordinary people do to fight with others?" ”
