Chapter 6 Under the Drought

Therefore, the three heavenly realms of Buddhism's desire realm, the color realm, and the colorless realm, are actually still immortals. The gods are noble, after all, they are still rolling in this color world, and they can't be detached. Only my Taoist true immortal, shattering the void, can break this material cage, and the so-called union with the Tao is really true!"

Wang Wenqing also smiled: "Don't look at the Buddhism, the sky is falling, the sand of the Ganges River counts the Buddhas, and the countless billions of Buddhas are cloudy." In fact, most of those Buddhas are also gods, and they cannot be transcended. ”

Wen Fei's heart said what is after being so detached? This question really can't be asked, after all, if you ask Lin Lingsu and the others, they will naturally not know. This kind of thing, such as people drinking water, knows how cold and warm they are. If you don't reach that realm, you can walk through it yourself, and you can't think of it.

With this incident, several people were full of confidence and discussed how to preach and consolidate the Shenxiao Doctrine. Although Zhao Ji has already ordered the Taoist temples in the world to send people to Shangfu's mansion to re-study the Shenxiao doctrine. But those big factions in the world are not very buying, and they haven't sent many people until now. Even those Taoist officials in Tokyo City, and even those Daomen Keqing raised by the emperor, known as the Kinmen Yuke, are still much more unconvinced.

So don't look at it, Wen Fei looks majestic now, but in fact, the foundation is not very strong. According to Wen Fei, it is to build a Huangpu of the Shenxiao Sect and cultivate talents by himself, which is the true inheritance believer of the Shenxiao Sect.

However, ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, this kind of thing is really not urgent.

There is also the organization of the Daomen to be established, and the various sects originally belonged to each other, and they were scattered. It was only later, after the birth of the Quanzhen Sect, that it could flourish forever after learning the organization of Buddhism. These are all issues they want to study, and Wen Fei has more say in these matters.

Without him, Wen Fei has thousands of years of experience in the world. In later generations, the level of management is much higher than it is now. Not to mention, who let Wen Fei have a backup group here?

The further west you go, the less water you can see in the canal. When the boat was in the middle of the Yellow River, I didn't think that when I left the Yellow River and went north from the Tongji Canal to the east of the river, I saw that the canal water was much shallower. Watermarks can be seen on the embankments on both sides. The level of the river dropped by two or three meters.

Especially when we were approaching Jiezhou, we could see that the earth on both sides of the canal was cracking, and it was almost time for spring ploughing, but no one was working in the field.

Wen Feiqi said: "Could it be that the local people are so lazy? The land is drought like this, and they don't know how to fight floods and provide disaster relief." What will I do when the spring ploughing is in a few days?"

Chen Niwan sighed and said, "Don't you know, junior brother? This canal water is related to the imperial court's program. But the people were not allowed to take water for themselves. ”

Wen Fei sighed, and listened to Chen Niwan say: "So the people are the most bitter." It's still on the edge of the canal, which is better. If at least there is water to eat, if it is far away from the canal, then ......" said and shook his head, Chen Niwan traveled south and north, and saw the most.

Wen Fei asked, "The people's fields are on the edge of the canal." Aren't you allowed to take water to water your crops?"

Chen Niwan shook his head and said, "If the water is abundant, those officials will still turn a blind eye. But in times of such a severe drought, the first thing the government needs to ensure is the smooth flow of the canal. As for the people, if they meet kind-hearted people, at most they will just open a warehouse and release grain!"

As soon as he said this, when he saw the cracked fields on both sides of the strait, no one had the heart to speak anymore.

Shunshun came to the state of understanding, and the local magistrates and officials from the Department of Salt Relief came out early to greet them. They were already ten miles away to greet each other.

Wen Fei naturally didn't have any good feelings for these guys who were full of brains, and he didn't bother to greet them, after all, Wen Fei had a transcendent identity and had the power to do whatever he wanted.

"How's the salt pond?" Wen Fei asked unceremoniously after waiting for those officials to come over to pay their respects.

Before I reached the boundary of Jiezhou, I saw drought everywhere, and my eyes were full of it. I couldn't see a single cyan. And this group of officials and men all have umbrellas on their heads. Waiting for Wen Fei to come.

As soon as Wen Fei saw this posture, he felt unhappy in his heart. I feel that these bureaucrats look down on themselves and are too simplistic of themselves. You know, Wen Fei used to be in the town where the carriage was located. Seeing that the mayor went to the countryside to inspect, the cadres of the township in the county stood under the sun and were baked like boiling oil, and no one was willing to play parasols.

is a mayor in a district, and when he arrives in the Northern Song Dynasty, he is at most at the prefect level. was placed in Wen Fei's Shang Father's Mansion, even if he asked to see Wen Fei, he didn't know how many days he had to queue up.

However, these officials of Jiezhou and the officials of the Salt Liberation Envoy Department still dared to use umbrellas, and they also laid wooden planks under their feet. This made Wen Fei very unhappy, girl, is this father not as good as a prefect in the next generation? Especially when there is a drought all the way, it has already started spring, and after walking hundreds of miles, I see that there are no weeds and leaves everywhere. I don't know if it's because of the drought or because of the hunger.

The villages along the way are lifeless everywhere. Occasionally, I saw the villagers, all of whom were ragged and their eyes were dull. This made Wen Fei feel bad for a while.

The entire huge Northern Song Dynasty Empire relied on such a Grand Canal excavated by Emperor Yang of Sui and repaired by successive dynasties. The circulation of goods and personnel between the north and the south also rely on such a canal. It is really the end of the Sui River for this river, and it has been thousands of miles to Laitongbo.

Therefore, ensuring the smooth flow of the Grand Canal is naturally the most important thing. Intellectually speaking, in times of drought, in order to ensure the water volume of the Grand Canal, not too much water is used for agricultural irrigation. And for good reason!

But when I saw hundreds of miles along the way, I didn't know that hundreds of thousands of people were trapped in the sky. But when the river water was unusable, even Wen Fei, a guy who had always had no heart and lungs, felt very breathless in his heart.

Now seeing these officials and men with such big factions, Wen Fei is naturally unhappy. Looking horizontally and vertically, I feel that each of these guys is pleasing to the eye.

Wen Fei is on patrol on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and his identity is naturally extremely high. However, Wen Fei's famous name as Shang's father is basically only spread in Tokyo City and Luoyang City. These local officials didn't know how powerful Wen Fei was, and although they were respectful, they didn't really take it very seriously. It's just a powerful warlock.

The envoy of the promotion system and the release of salt is called Hu Rong, and the scope of his authority is very large, and he is in charge of the ban on salt, determines the price of salt and the amount of money to be paid, so that the people can pay grain in the border areas, give salt money, and receive salt.
