Chapter 129

Qingyang Prefecture, Yaori Mountain, Town Fusi.

In the main hall on the top of the mountain, the governor sat on the cloud couch and looked at the real picture of the Five Sacred Mountains in front of him.

The nineteen prefectures of Qingyang, the rest of the places just glanced roughly, the focus is on Chentang County - as a divine body, it is the first divine body left in Qingyang Prefecture for more than 500 years. Focus on it.

Observing through the map of the Five Sacred Mountains, the entire county is as calm as water, with only a few ripples. After a little calculation, I immediately noticed when what happened in Chentang County.

"When you first arrived in the county, the first thing you did was to focus on the flood control in the county?"

The appeasement envoy was a little puzzled.

You must know that in this world, there are demons and ghosts, and it is normal for big monsters to make troubles and stir up troubles.

However, it has become a daily routine for the Great Yan court to deal with floods. If ordinary people do these things, the eunuchs can still understand, but as a god, he has performed so well in the thousands of households test, and now he is acting so ordinary. This is really not normal.

More importantly, other people don't know, but he understands very well—the reason why the divine body is so valued is not only because of the strong fighting ability of the divine body, but also because of other reasons.

Good luck!

"The body of the gods was born in response to the destiny. No matter whether you are born in a martial arts family or a reckless family, you will inevitably fight and fight. This is about the battle of luck... Martial arts sail against the current, and the amount of luck will determine the future protagonists of this world. Divine body?"

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of something, so he touched the map of the Five Sacred Mountains with the palm of his hand, and at the moment, clusters of light appeared in the sky above the topography of the counties in Qingyang Prefecture, divided into five colors, and so on.

The skies over some counties are white and peaceful, some are yellow and flourishing, and some are gray—they are either dilapidated or dead.

The Zhenfu envoy focused on Chentang County.

However, the sky above Chentang County was originally a white light, which looked warm and peaceful, but when the appeasement envoy wiped his palm again, the white light was dispersed, revealing the situation inside——

A group of black robbery clouds lingered around the entire Chentang County, and more and more gathered, and there was a blood-red aura at the core, and a strong murderous aura was about to come out, as if it was brewing.

Seeing this, the eunuch was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: "This is the correct way to open the divine body!"

Look, with a flick of his sleeves, he put away the true shape map of the Five Sacred Mountains, and was about to close his eyes and meditate, but after thinking about it carefully, he still knocked on the golden bell hanging under the eaves of the main hall.

"Boom~"

The bell rang resoundingly, and within a moment, a school lieutenant came in and said politely, "What orders do you have from the governor?"

"Send me an order to inform Geng Wenguang, a thousand households in Songping County, to pay close attention to the situation in Chentang County. If necessary, you can help Gu Chang'an."

The appeasement envoy said in a low voice.

"Yes!" The school captain agreed, and then seeing the governor closed his eyes and said nothing, he saluted and retreated slowly.

A moment later, a golden talisman rose from Yaori Mountain. After recognizing its direction in mid-air, it suddenly entered the clouds and headed towards Songping County, and disappeared in an instant.

……

Chentang County, Yanbo County.

The rain stopped and the sun shone.

It's just that there are still water marks and puddles on the ground, and the sunlight reflects on it. From a distance, it looks like fish scales, with a strange light.

A group of farmers were walking on the ground. Because the road was soaked with water, they could step on a pit when they stepped down.

Because of the flood in Yanbo County, most of the houses in the county collapsed and most of the roads were destroyed. Although the county government, squires, and Xuanjing Division all set up porridge sheds, they did not allow the people to eat for free.

Cash for work!

They are given a certain amount of food and money every day, and then the county government organizes to worry about the people rebuilding their houses and repairing damaged roads.

Right now, this team of farmers is building official roads under the organization of the county government—the sand and gravel have been pulled by bullock carts, but the people have not yet arrived.

But it didn't take long, after a while, teams of farmers came in groups.

Because of the crowd, the road became muddy.

Hundreds of people gathered here, all wearing short padded jackets, squatting or standing, chatting with the people around them.

At this time, a middle-aged man in his thirties who looked decently dressed glanced at the audience, and then said, "Is everyone here?"

"Liu Tou, everyone is here."

"Master Liu, don't worry, they're all here."

"There was a flood just now, and the family's harvest was cut off. Everyone wanted to make a living, so who wouldn't come!"

"Extremely great!"

Listening to the middle-aged man's words, many farmers started talking, and there was a commotion for a while.

The middle-aged man's surname is Liu, but I don't remember the exact name—there are not many people with names in this era who can read, and they are usually called according to their surname and the number of their family members. People call it Zhang San, and if this three gangsters are good, they are generally honored as Zhang Sanye.

And this middle-aged man, because he was a contractor and was in charge of No. [-] people, was called Liu Tou, and some called him Master Liu.

After all, although there is a flood right now and people are needed for reconstruction everywhere, those who can undertake the construction of official roads must have something to do with the county government. Although this relationship is worthless in front of real people, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is already It's a big man.

"Since we are all here, let's start working! Let's finish it as soon as possible!"

Liu Tou glanced again and said: "The county said that if the work is finished three days in advance, some extra money and food subsidies will be given, and everyone will be given a lot, and maybe even a catty and a half catty of meat will be cut. Bring back."

Hearing that they could cut flesh, hundreds of people immediately swallowed their saliva—although there are city gods and water gods to control the wind and rain in this world, except for the chaos caused by demons, the weather is basically smooth, and the tax is also low, so the common people can keep surplus food, but After all, meat is still a luxury food, and it is already considered that ordinary people can eat a few meals a year.

Everyone was full of energy at the moment, and they all responded with a shout, and then began to work in full swing.

These farmers have been cultivating the land all year round, and they are full of strength. Now they pile up bags of sand, push the stone roller back and forth to compact the mud and sand, sprinkle gravel, and continue to use stones to crush it. cycle.

The hundred and ten people are not the only ones working here. On this official road, there are thousands of people who are shooting their bows on the road that is only twenty or thirty miles away. The demand for sand and gravel is so great that the cattle pulling the carts They were all out of breath.

But after all, it still can't meet the consumption.

I heard that if you complete the repairs ahead of time, you can get extra money and food. Everyone is very motivated. The sand and gravel that originally piled up like a hill are visibly reduced by the naked eye.

Soon, one morning has passed.

At noon, an ox cart drove over, followed by several people, and another strongman wearing Xuanjing Sixuan armor followed.

When they arrived, these people stopped the bullock cart and started cooking in front of everyone. They rolled the dough mixed with coarse grains into noodles and put them in the pot on the spot.

In addition, there is also a sauce made of diced meat. For a while, the meat is fragrant, which makes many farmers' stomachs growl.

Naturally, the Hercules from the Xuanjing Department came to supervise whether there was any jerry-building in the meal.

Seeing that coarse grains and white noodles accounted for half and half, and the amount of meat was sufficient, he nodded in satisfaction.

At this time, the fried noodles were ready, and a person shouted loudly: "Dinner is ready!"

The farmers cheered immediately. Half of the noodles were coarse grains and the other half were white noodles. There was also a sauce made of diced meat.

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Tou saw that everyone had finished eating and had a rest, so he shouted, "Start work!"

Everyone stood up and continued working.

The sun shone on the ground, reflecting a strange white light, and it looked deserted. In addition, it was late autumn at this time, and when the wind blew, there was a cold air, and the leaves on the trees almost fell off. At first glance, it seemed that everything was chilling.

But this can't stop the farmer's enthusiasm at all.

After eating, I worked harder than in the morning. Before dusk, all the sand and gravel had been cleared away, and then I used stone rollers to crush the road several times to flatten the road. This was the end.

"Everyone pack up your tools and follow me to get your wages later!"

Liu Tou looked at the length of the road construction and heaved a sigh of relief—today's construction has exceeded the tone. According to this progress, they will definitely be able to complete the construction ahead of time. , Maybe I can take this opportunity to charter another section of the road.

If this is the case, even if there is no harvest this year, the family can live a better life.

Thinking of this, Liu Tou felt a little joy in his heart.

Although he is a foreman, he can't control the money and food. This is a matter that the county pays close attention to, and it is supervised by the county dignitaries in person.

In this way, for a certain consideration, a foreman like him can only receive a penny of his own money to prevent trouble-if there is a trouble, not to mention the big shots in the county, just the county lord will not be able to pass.

But even so, he still has a lot more profit than ordinary people.

The other farmers didn't know Liu Tou's thoughts, but they also started in their hearts-it is always worth looking forward to when they pay wages, and they have been busy farming all their lives in order to seek food and clothing and hope for a better future. Everyone feels this hope now. satisfy.

After packing up, hundreds of people followed Liu Tou to collect the money.

In the middle of the official road, in a temporary shed.

Although it is a temporary building, there are curtains on all sides, and there is a fire inside. Although it is cold outside, it is very warm inside. The wine is still warm on the stove, and there are some side dishes.

There were a few people sitting inside, three of them were wearing official uniforms, they were officials from the county, while a person sitting next to him was sitting cross-legged, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was closing his eyes to rest his mind, and the clothes on his body were It was Xuanjing Division Jinyi Xuanjia—but he was a school lieutenant.

Several officials were drinking, and halfway through the drinking, the oldest and most prestigious one put down his glass, glanced at Captain Xuanjingsi who was sitting not far away, then lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "Everyone, don't do anything this time!"

Hearing this, the other two were taken aback, but then they realized: "What Wang Tou said is that this time, the important figures in the county personally supervised it, and the county lord also made a real move. Let's not break the taboo."

Both nodded.

Dayan ghosts and gods appear, although it is easier to govern, but it is the ordinary petty officials who really manage the people. Corruption and embezzlement are inevitable, and they cannot be banned no matter what.

But in the past, as long as you can get things done and do good things, you just turn a blind eye and close one eye, which is within the unspoken rules.

It's just that there is a premise, it can't be bad!

If something goes wrong, death is not a loss!

But this time, it was the first thing that the county dignitary came to do for the first time, and the county lord did not dare to neglect him.

After all, the first thing he did when he took office, if something went wrong, God knows how angry that big man in the county would be?At that time, it would not be uncommon to even kill a person.

"That's it. Let's keep your hands and feet clean. Don't stretch out your hands indiscriminately... The ugliness comes first. Whoever stretches out your hands indiscriminately, in order to prevent other people from being involved, don't blame me for turning my face and denying others. Before the county lord does it, I will The first to tie him up!" said the official who was the first to speak.

"Don't worry, Wangtou!"

"We understand that we will never engage in trouble at this time."

The other two expressed their opinions one after another.

Hearing this, the officer surnamed Wang softened his face and said, "Okay, let's go distribute the money and go home after we're done."

After finishing speaking, he drank the wine in the glass, stood up and walked outside.

They said these words in a low voice, but they didn't know that the captain of Xuanjing Division possessed mana, not to mention being so close, Cao Dong could hear even the wind blowing within hundreds of meters.

Listening to the conversation of these three officials, the captain couldn't help but smile.

He remembered that before he joined the Xuanjing Division, his father was also a humble official in a certain county, and he had judged the situation and struggled to make a living, but these had become a thing of the past.

After he joined the Xuanjing Division, the family changed suddenly.

"The way of humanity is insignificant, the way of immortality is vast, and the way of ghosts is joyful. When you are in the gate of life, the way of immortality is precious, and the way of ghosts is precious."

This thought flashed through my mind, and I couldn't help but have some new insights.

"Immortals value life, ghosts value death, and there is no measure for people. Qi Dao practitioners like me want to live forever, which is naturally auspicious. Ghosts value how to end, while human beings only want to be safe and healthy. Live in this world."

"Different horizons, different pursuits, different status...all the differences are only caused by the differences in the roots."

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel relieved.

But in a blink of an eye, people struggle to survive, and Qi Dao practitioners like him also struggle for the Dao?

It seems to be superior, but in fact, who knows what is good or bad?

outside the shed.

As soon as Wang Tou and the other two officials went out, they saw that there was already a queue outside, and nearly a thousand people were waiting silently.

"My lord is out!"

"Looks like I'm going to pay my wages!"

"It's finally here, after waiting for so long!"

One after another, the voices of discussion continued to sound.

"quiet!"

Wang Tou said something loudly, and the audience immediately became quiet.

Seeing this, he nodded in satisfaction, and then sat on a chair, with several large baskets and boxes in hand, which were full of money and food.

Turning over the ledger, looking at the honest and nervous farmer in front of him, he couldn't help but ask, "Name?"

"Zhao... Zhao Tiezhu!"

Wang Tou wrote down the name, and then said: "Who is Zhao Tiezhu's foreman? Come up and give him thirty wages, two buckets of rice."
