Chapter 18 Heaven is not beautiful

The time for the summer harvest has arrived, perhaps to respect this important moment, and the great tomorrow has finally calmed down rarely.

The imperial court is organizing the harvest, the rebels are also organizing the harvest, Lantian County is also organizing the harvest, and even the builders seem to have forgotten to start the war.

Harvest is always the best way to make up for trauma.

Standing on the boundless wilderness, Yun Zhao was full of emotion, this year, Henan, Shanxi, Hubei are ripe.

It's a very unreasonable thing.

Last year, these three places were devastated by locusts, but this year, they have been in good weather for seven months.

The hard-working Lantian people encountered a drought this year, and the earth dragon turned over, and when it was time to harvest, the heavy rain was pouring down, and the crops in the fields were lodging in large areas, and the reduction of production was a foregone conclusion.

From this incident, Yun Zhao found that God actually didn't have long eyes, and when he was angry, he didn't distinguish between objects and good people.

Fortunately, Henan and Shanxi still have some territory in Lantian County, so it is a good reflection of the ancient truth that good people have good rewards.

Therefore, the world is contradictory, and the way of heaven is contradictory, and people need to have a higher ideological consciousness and endurance to finally understand.

The crops that have fallen in the ground are mixed with the silt, and it takes a lot of patience to get the food back here.

This led to the need for Lantian County to mobilize more people to harvest, so Zun Yunzhao of Lantian County also joined the army of harvesting grain.

As a leader, he is actually very unlucky, especially when he has a complete bureaucratic team under him, and his role is not so important.

More often than not, it becomes a symbol of power.

When the earthquake occurs, the county must appear in the most dangerous place and personally participate in the disaster relief, so as to give the people the courage to overcome the disaster.

The grain production has decreased, and the county must take the lead in drinking porridge, and he can't continue to be drunk and dreaming of death, although he can't save a few grains alone, such a thing must be done.

Because he wants to cut off the heads of other officials who have violated the ban, Yun Zhao himself cannot break the ban, otherwise it will be a big event.

Yun Zhao cut a bunch of wheat from the dirt and carefully set it aside, even if the ears of wheat were covered with mud, he could not shake them off.

The wheat that is entangled in the soil can only be harvested by prostrate on the ground, and even then, most of the wheat is not very good, with insufficient sunlight and grain, and after drying, more bran is beaten than flour.

Harvesting wheat made Yun Zhao very annoying, especially for someone like him who had seen a large combine harvester, harvesting wheat with a sickle and a sickle made him feel stupid.

"What did you do when you were at Yushan Academy? Why can't you even make a convenient machine for harvesting wheat? ”

Yang Xiong, who was squatting beside Yun Zhao and harvesting more wheat, looked at his county zun suspiciously, he didn't remember that the county zun had arranged such a study.

However, the county lord has already begun to get angry, so it must be those of them who can't understand the meaning if there is a mistake.

"If it is arranged this year, it should be in time for next year's summer harvest."

"You people are all focused on those palace maids, do you think I don't know?" Yun Zhao continued to be angry.

Yang Xiong said in surprise: "Except for those ugly people who treat these palace maids as treasures, who of us will take the palace maids in their eyes?"

For example, Xiaguan, when I was five years old, I knew who my wife was, who would have nothing to do to find those women whose identities are unknown, whose origins are unknown, and whose temperament is unknown, and it is possible to get them back as concubines, but it is taboo to marry a concubine in our Lantian County, and we will not take a concubine before we get married. ”

Yun Zhao nodded, feeling that what they said was very reasonable, although Yang Xiong's family was not generous, but this guy's family of 100 people from the old man, the old woman, and the general corner boy all knew how to read, and they were a famous scholar in Guanzhong.

Such a family is naturally inherently reluctant to marry palace maids, and they don't look down on those sisters in Yunzhao's family, let alone these palace maids whose origins are unknown and may cause them trouble.

Counting it up, those guys who were bought back by Yun Zhao have even stronger self-confidence, and they regard themselves as the masters of Lantian County everywhere.

Outsiders may be bought, they may be rebelled, they may be seduced, and they ...... I don't think it's possible.

Overall, Yang Xiong and these people are a group of people who are ready to be good officials, while Xu Wuxiang, Zhang Guozhu, Zhang Guofeng, Han Xiufen, and Han Lingshan are working hard for their ideals.

These people you can leave her anywhere, they will continue to fight for their ideals, and if Yang Xiong and these people are reprimanded, they will think that this is a failure in their careers.

Wanting to move his sore waist, Yun Zhao looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, and had to stand up and loudly encourage the officials who participated in the autumn harvest: "Everyone work hard, and strive to recover all the fallen wheat today." ”

Yun Zhao's mobilization is obviously very effective, including Yang Xiong himself, he can't help but speed up his actions, his family is a farming heirloom, and he takes this kind of thing very seriously, and he never feels that doing this work is insulting or anything, so he is skillful.

The only harm of mobilization is that everyone's progress is very fast, leaving Yun Zhao far behind, the people of Lantian County are simple, and there is really no one who pats on the back......

Yun Zhao dragged his tired body back home, there was no time to rest, although he wanted to fall into bed and sleep until the end of the day, he still had to meet Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu who came back from Shanxi.

It's two black men!

A man with a dark face but sparkling eyes!

It is also two meritorious people.

Not only did they bring back 400,000 quintals of grain and 6,000 quintals of locust powder from their subordinate belts, but they also brought back six enlightened southeastern scholars to Lantian County.

These six people can't see the true appearance of Jiangnan talents, and a year of hard work has worn away the rich appearance they have cultivated in Jiangnan.

"People always have to live some hard lives, otherwise they don't know that happiness is not easy to come by."

Yun Zhao's faint words dispelled the idea of praise from these people's high expectations.

Yun Zhao used to hear this kind of thing a lot, sometimes from a teacher, sometimes from his mother, and more often from a leader.

When the subordinates do things, they must be strict with the pursuit of higher goals, and when the subordinates exceed the task, they must express their indifferent feelings.

Oversized compliments are generally given to fools, even if the fools succeed in putting their butts in the chair.

Huang Zongxi looked very indifferent, and Gu Yanwu looked at the sky with white eyes and fully expressed his disdain.

As for; The other six looked disappointed.

The superiority of people is reflected in this small detail.

Yun Zhao personally poured a cup of tea for these eight people, and said to Huang Zongxi: "Today, let's cook in a clumsy way, let's drink a few cups and go to get rid of fatigue." ”

Hearing Yun Zhao say this, the expressions of these eight people immediately changed in a new way, except for Huang Zongxi's relatively indifferent expression, even Gu Yanwu put away his disdain, and got up and didn't dare to say again.

Huang Zongxi got up and said, "I heard that Mrs. is pregnant with Liujia, how can I work for her." ”

Yun Zhao smiled; "It's okay, it's good for the fetus to move more at this time, let's not talk about it, let's go to the flower hall, where the view is wide, just to talk about the wine."

After a while, everyone came to the flower hall, and a table of not sumptuous banquets had been arranged, and several people were divided into guest and host positions.

Yun Zhao picked up the wine glass and said: "All the hard work, all the sadness, all the suffering in the world, let's add it to the wine and swallow it in one gulp." ”

Gu Yanwu said: "Since there is still a road ahead, even if the hardships that have been endured are not bitter, the suffering of the people will come to an end, Yun Xianzun, please." ”

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Yun Zhao put down his chopsticks and glanced at the people present, and said in a low voice: "Do you have a wish?" ”

Huang Zongxi said: "A certain family is willing to go to Yushan Academy as a guest. ”

Gu Yanwu said: "Give me a soldier, five hundred people are enough." ”

The other six people bowed their hands together and said, "I am willing to listen to the orders of the county honor." ”

Yun Zhao smiled, raised his glass again and toasted the eight people, and then said: "There are hedgehog beasts in Lantian County who are accustomed to eating people, and it is not easy to be an official here. ”

Gu Yanwu lowered his head and took a sip of wine and said, "But my ability is insufficient?" ”

Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "The pig is now roaming the land of Lantian and is admonishing all those who have power and money in their hands, if they can't pass this level, there is no hope of being an official in Lantian County."

By the way, the first person he admonished to talk to was myself. ”

Gu Yanwu sneered and said, "The people here are all talented and virtuous, and they are all pure and pure. ”

Yun Zhao glanced at Gu Yanwu and said, "If you say such a thing in front of the pig, he will ask you to write down the notes of the sitting."

Therefore, your talents and learning are enough to hold a certain official position and benefit the world, but there is a saying in Lantian County - please go other ways to get promoted and get rich, and don't enter this door if you are greedy for life and death.

Once you decide to enter my Lantian County, then there is only one way to go to the black, and there is no second way out.

What Lantian County can repay you can only be the glory of peace for all generations, and there is nothing else.

Please consider carefully, consider carefully, and strengthen your confidence, you can go directly to the Lantian County Master Book to report and wait for the assignment. ”

"Huh? Does it matter if you say it? Gu Yanwu was amazed.

Yun Zhao smiled: "You have also been an official in Lantian County for a year, you should be familiar with the review committee, right?"

All appointments in Lantian County come from this institution.

Yun Zhao only has one head, one hand, and one pair of eyes, how can he see everyone clearly. ”

Gu Yanwu's eyes lit up and he arched his hand and said, "What qualifications can you join this committee?" ”

"Those who have served in Lantian County for more than ten years and have made great contributions to Lantian County can enter."

Gu Yanwu was slightly disappointed, but he still whispered to the people left and right, only Huang Zongxi was drinking and eating alone, and he was like the wind.

After drinking for two hours, Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu took the other six people straight to Yushan Academy, they were already very accustomed to using this vigorous academy as a place to live.

When Yun Zhao came to Qian Duoduo's room with a stack of papers, Qian Duoduo immediately came over squeamishly, let Yun Zhao see a red spot the size of a fingernail on the back of her hand, and claimed that this was the injury she suffered when she was cooking herself.

This is a big accident!

Yun Zhao held her hand and blew and stroked for a while, then he threw his body on the soft couch and asked Yun Hua to help him take off his shoes, he really didn't have any strength.

Qian Duoduo noticed that her husband seemed to be very tired, so she came to her side and said, "Actually, I don't cook." And he set the plates. ”

Yun Zhao shook his hand and said: "That's also busy, I know that it wasn't you who made the first bite of the dish, the dishes you make are better than the cook's cooking, not so greasy, and more with my appetite." ”

Qian Duoduo snuggled up to Yun Zhao and sighed: "During the day, you have to be a strong laborer, you have to deal with government affairs when you go home, and finally you have to please your mother-in-law, you person, why bother." ”

Yun Zhao reluctantly smiled: "I want to be a perfect person." ”

"You said that no one is perfect."

Yun Zhao said: "I want to pretend to be a perfect person, Zhou Gong is afraid of rumors, Wang Mang is humble and courteous, our career has just begun, even if I want to pretend, I must pretend to be a perfect person."

I'll take a nap, and you remember to wake me up. ”

Qian Duoduo nodded again and again, and then, Yun Zhao slept until dawn.

Shangguan is busy, which fundamentally shows that his subordinates are incompetent.

Therefore, Yun Zhao called Yang Xiong and scolded him, and he couldn't go to the ground today.

In fact, there is no way to go to the ground in the heavy rain today, that is to say, there are nearly thousands of acres of lodging wheat, which can be regarded as rotten in the mud, and can only wait for the wheat to sprout, and then get it out to make maltose.

The heavy rain fell for thirteen days in a row, and then it gradually became smaller, and the maltose that Yun Zhao expected was completely gone, and the huge Guanzhong had become Zeguo.

Yun Zhao, who originally wanted to be lazy for two days, had to put on his coat and wander around the reservoirs and ponds in Lantian County.

The Weishui is raging and roaring, and the Yellow River near Dali County is also turbid, and the two rivers leading to the outside world pose a great threat to Lantian County and Guanzhong.

Reservoirs everywhere released water almost at the same time, so the Wei River and the Yellow River were inevitable.

Yun Zhao sat in a shed sheltered from the rain, watching the turbid Wei River water roaring and rushing down, and he didn't have the slightest confidence in the Wei River embankment that seemed to be trembling under his feet.

He wanted to go, but he couldn't, and on this embankment, countless people in Guanzhong were braving the rain to raise the embankment.

Yun Zhao admitted that this was his own mistake, and in the past few years, there have been frequent droughts in Guanzhong, which made him subconsciously think that the flood was a long time later.

In addition, the people of Guanzhong have been frantically asking for food from the land over the years, and many people have planted crops in the river, silting up the river.

A man covered in muddy water held a huge carp that was still flicking its tail, put it at Yun Zhao's feet and said flatteringly: "Add dishes to the county." ”

Yun Zhao looked at this man and said, "Have you blocked the breach?" ”

The man hurriedly said: "It's blocked, it's blocked, and our chief and the little ones jumped into the water with their bodies as pillars, so that the breach was blocked." ”

Yun Zhao nodded and said: "This good fish, you should eat it, Yun Jia, and then send them five jars of wine, there is only fish, and it is not pleasant to eat without wine." ”

Yun Jia agreed, and let the man go with him to get the wine with the fish.

Lu Xiangsheng, who was holding his trouser leg and barefoot, hurriedly walked in, wiped the rain on his face with his hand and said: "There is no one to kill here, a certain family has gone to Dali County." ”

Yun Zhaoran nodded and said, "Okay, you be careful all the way." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "The body of a certain family is cold, but the heart of a certain family is hot, and there is no one to kill here, so that my blood is smooth and my body is strong."

Six of the people who were washed away by the water have been recovered, and the rest are probably gone, so you have to be careful, you are in danger, and you can't stand under the wall. ”

Yun Zhao pointed to the ant-like crowd on the river embankment and said, "I'm worried about everything here, you go and get busy with yours." ”

As he spoke, he draped his coat over Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng threw away his coat and said, "You don't need to be so entrenched with me." ”

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng step on the muddy water with one foot in depth, Yun Zhao said to Yun Jia, who was hanging his head: "A person with a very good character." ”

Yun Jia said: "Young Master doesn't have to be too good to him. ”

Yun Zhao thought so.

Two and a half months ago, the dragon in Lantian County turned over, and now, it is a rainstorm again, and Yun Zhao has a feeling of crying and laughing.

He vaguely felt that God had shifted the object of revenge from Zhu Youzhen to him.

Otherwise, he would not have been treated so ruthlessly.

Fortunately, most of the grain has already been harvested, and if this disaster had been half a month earlier, he would have really wanted to cry without tears.

The Weishui River crisscrosses the pass and finally joins the Yellow River, and in terms of threat, the Weishui is the most threatening.

The hardest hit area was the city of Xi'an.

Today's Xi'an City is almost a city soaked in water.

Not to mention that the water in the city cannot be drained, and several rivers outside the city that run through Xi'an City are pouring back.

When Yun Zhao passed by Xi'an City on a raft, he found that the city gate had been flooded, and the water was more than two feet deep.

It is extremely ironic to say that the sun overhead is scorching the earth, but the earth is full of oceans.

There is water everywhere, but people live in thirst.

All the teachers and students of Yushan Academy went out to publicize the reason why they should not drink dirty water to everyone they met.

The great plague will be followed by a great plague, which is almost a matter of convention.

Just look at the swollen carcasses of cows, sheep, pigs, and dogs soaked in the water, and the hair on Yun Zhao's back stands tall.

In this flood, because the mayors were quite powerful, there was not much loss of people, but the loss of livestock was very serious.

The soldiers rode on wooden rafts, dragged all the carcasses of cattle, sheep and pigs they could find to the river, and threw them down, allowing the river to carry away the source of the disease.

There was no way to do this, and the carcasses of domestic animals that were not close to the river were sprayed with fierce fire oil and burned, so in order to save the few military supplies, those who were close to the river had to do so.

The sun was violent, and the flood on the ground receded quickly, which was the characteristic of the flood in Guanzhong, but it was wet everywhere and the humidity was pressing.

Yushan City is on high ground, and after the rain stopped, Yushan was quiet, although the streets were full of stones that were carried down by the flood, the disaster was not serious, and it was not even a disaster, but a huge stone with a height of two feet at the gate of the Yun clan completely blocked the gate of the Yun clan.

Xu Yuanshou looked at the stone, cleaned the stone, lifted the big brush full of cinnabar ink, and wrote the five big characters of "Yushan Stone Dare to Be" when he lifted the pen.

"Why don't you remove this stone?"

Yun Zhao looked at the boulder that was only twenty steps away from his own gate and asked puzzledly.

Xu Yuanshou said lightly: "Last time the earth dragon turned over, this time the flood, everyone is counted on your head, if you don't get some auspicious luck, the light on your wild boar spirit will be extinguished by half."

This stone is good.

The earth dragon turned over and got it out of the ground, and the flood transported this boulder to your doorstep, what is the will of heaven, this is the will of heaven! ”

"The reason why God wants to make such a big move is to send this stone to my house?"

"That's the case, Lantian County suffered two disasters in a row, but the loss was very little, it was because of this boulder from the sky that stopped the disaster, although it was a catastrophe, but it was blocked by this stone.

Do you have any comments? ”

"Nope."

"That's good, there are naturally people to do the things that build momentum, and it is a very good way to calm the people's hearts.

But at this time, Lantian County has to make its own voice heard, where are you going to start? ”

Yun Zhao smiled and arched his hand towards Xu Yuanshou and said, "Mr. is calculating." ”

Xu Yuanshou smiled but did not answer.

Yun Zhao returned to the big study room, which he had not come back for many days, looked at the bookshelves that filled the room, and said to Yang Xiong: "Take the topographic map of the Hetao." ”

I feel like I'm getting moldy...... Asking for votes,
