Sanniang, I'll save you [Water Margin]

The next night, Xiao Yutang bought commonly used medicines in Yunzhou City, mainly to treat common diseases such as wind-cold cold, gastroenteritis, and heat-induced dizziness.

This time there were more refugees who heard the news, but it was still the same as last night. Anyone who made trouble would be taken down on the spot and dealt with according to the person's previous behavior evaluation.

The lightest is hanging from a tree by the side of the road.Because there is no armed force to patrol and protect like Zhujiazhuang, the branches and leaves of the trees near Shili Pavilion have been eaten up. Only the dry branches are left. It's kind of scary to look at.

The most serious ones will be pulled directly into the shadow of the tree and never come out again.

After being deterred, the refugees obeyed the order obediently and left after each bowl of porridge.

Those who are sick can go to the ghost who knows medical principles to get a pulse, and then get the corresponding medicine, and then go back to decoct the medicine and drink it without taking a cent.

In the same way, when the sky is about to shine, all the people and things who gave the porridge will disappear, and the young man in white will get up and leave, disappearing before everyone's eyes.

This miracle spread around the whole Yunzhou at a fast speed.

Those refugees who accepted Xiao Yutang's kindness in giving porridge and medicine called this young man in white a "fairy teacher", but most of the people who heard about it felt that the whole thing was spooky, so they even called it "ghost porridge". This phenomenon can only appear at night, and the young man in white is also called "Ghost Immortal Master".

Some people say that this is a sign of imminent disaster, even ghosts can't stand it, it means that there will be countless ghosts in the underworld, that is to say, a large number of living people will die.

When the news reached the ears of the prefect of Yunzhou, the prefect was furious.

There are so many people gathering at night, and they still say that catastrophe is imminent and all living beings will die. Is it that the end of the world is approaching, and only by believing in this ghost master can we be saved?Spreading this kind of teaching like the White Lotus Sect, if he doesn't control it well, won't it lead to a catastrophe?

If it really turns into a big case of conspiracy and rebellion, even if he has a grand master and father-in-law, he will inevitably suffer some suspense.

The magistrate cursed the magistrates in Mizhou in his heart, if it wasn't for their ineffective management and letting these unscrupulous people run around, how could they bring him such a big trouble; at the same time, he called the state government's head catchers and told them to order All the archers and infantry went to Shiliting to arrest the ghost and fairy master who deceived the crowd.

The two headhunters were frightened, but they didn't dare to disobey his order, so they headed towards Shiliting at night with torches on.No matter what they thought in their hearts, when they saw several cauldrons lined up on the side of the road and the almost endless line in front of the cauldron, their legs felt a little weak.

There are probably thousands of hungry people here, waiting to eat a bowl of porridge to survive. If the hundred and ten of them blatantly go to catch the porridge ghost fairy teacher, they will not be torn to pieces by these hungry people ?

After some discussion, the two headhunters could only politely go forward to salute Xiao Yutang who was sitting leisurely fanning his folding fan, saying that the magistrate invited him to the city to speak, and thanked him for his kind deed.

Xiao Yutang glanced at them with a half-smile, but when they were uneasy, she readily agreed, saying that she would go to visit the prefect tomorrow.

Although the two headhunters were not very satisfied with the answer, if the Immortal Ghost Master left tomorrow, where would they go to report to the prefect?But the eyes of the people around made them dare not act rashly, and could only lead people away in embarrassment.

Xiao Yutang is not a fool, if it is true that the two captors said that the magistrate invited her to thank her, how could they bring so many fully armed soldiers?He clearly wanted to catch her, but seeing so many refugees at the scene, he changed his mind temporarily.

However, Xiao Yutang said that she was not lying to them when she visited the prefect tomorrow. She really planned to meet with the prefect to have a conversation and have business to do.

The next day, the magistrate got up and had breakfast, and called two arresters over, only to realize that they hadn't been able to catch that ghost fairy last night at all.

The annoyed magistrate pointed at the two arresters and started cursing. Just as he scolded, "If the White Lotus Sect breaks out in Yunzhou, and my official Wusha is not guaranteed, you two will not be able to get rid of it." How could your lord have no love for you?"

"If the remnants of the White Lotus revive..." the magistrate gritted his teeth and wanted to emphasize the seriousness of the matter, but suddenly remembered that the voice was as clear as tapping a jade chime, and it was by no means the rough voice of the two headhunters. I saw a young man in white in the lobby at some point.

Tall and tall, with a face like a crown of jade, sculpted eyebrows and phoenix eyes, wearing a white jade lotus crown, wearing a snow-white robe, holding a folding fan with white jade bones in his hand - with such a dress, the magistrate immediately understood the identity of the visitor.

The expression on the faces of the two headhunters when they turned their heads to see the visitor also proved his guess.

"Bold..." The magistrate was about to reprimand him, but found that he was suddenly speechless, as if his mouth was held down by something, and the two captors fell silently in front of his eyes, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. .This frightened him. Could it be that this person really wanted to conspire against him and kill him to occupy Yunzhou?

Countless terrifying conjectures flashed through his mind, his legs gave way, and he knelt directly on the ground.

……

Except for the two captors, no one knows that the ghost fairy has come, but even the two captors don't know what the magistrate and the ghost fairy talked about. The displaced persons work to repair the long-abandoned ditches in Yunzhou. They don't pay wages, but they have two meals a day.

Announcements were hung in various parts of the prefecture and county, and some people beat the gong and held the official document on the official road to announce it. There were special officials in charge of reading the official document and registering the refugees who came to sign up, and sent them to the construction site of the river engineering in a team. superior.

The refugees were ecstatic, and one by one they flocked to sign up and go to work on the construction site.What is the wages, as long as the food is taken care of, even if it is just a lie to eat two meals a day, it is already a great blessing.

The petty officials work in an orderly manner according to the implementation manual issued by the state government - this is the first time they have seen such a thing as an implementation manual, in which each step is subdivided into links, and each link is written in a detailed manner. Clearly, as long as the above requirements are followed, the entire river engineering process will run smoothly like a huge mechanism.

Although these subordinate officials have a low status in the government system, they are all passed down from generation to generation with real skills. It can be seen at a glance that the person who wrote this manual is definitely not an ordinary person. His talent is enough to assist the emperor and govern the world. The executors also benefited a lot, and while admiring them, they obediently followed the rules.

The magistrate also summoned the well-known squires in Yunzhou to collect donations from them in person, asking someone to give money, money to give money, and food to give food, emphasizing that if this canal is repaired, the whole Yunzhou will benefit endlessly from top to bottom .

There used to be a water conservancy ditch in Yunzhou, named Limin Canal, which ran across Yunzhou and was able to irrigate most of the fertile fields in Yunzhou. Unfortunately, it was abandoned 30 years ago because no one maintained it.Mizhou is currently suffering from severe drought. Although Yunzhou is not as severe as Mizhou, the rainfall is obviously much less.If this continues, Yunzhou is likely to follow in the footsteps of Mizhou.

Some knowledgeable squires have long been worried, but the prefect of this state is not a fair and honest man who is dedicated to the people, but a hungry wolf who refuses to speak when he sees the benefits. None of them have the ability to persuade the prefect to let the government come forward to build water conservancy projects , can only plan secretly.

Who knew that the magistrate suddenly changed his old style and took the initiative to come forward, and with a stroke of genius, he killed two birds with one stone, not only solved the problem of farmland irrigation, but also solved the problem of refugees that the gentry faced every day.

Being able to pay some money and food to solve these two major problems is much more cost-effective than the methods they have planned in their hearts.So the magistrate didn't have to spend too much effort to get enough money and food, which also made his elongated face a little more satisfied.

That person was right, as long as he did it according to his method, he would gain both fame and fortune; if he didn't do it well... the magistrate shuddered, and didn't want to recall those terrible experiences anymore.

This fairy master made extraordinary moves, not only gave him an execution manual, but also gave him a set of shocking ditch design drawings!The magistrate is also a scholar at any rate, with a background of a second-class Jinshi, so he can tell at a glance that this design drawing is something that no one can do for water conservancy in today's world.

Xiao Yutang acted both kindly and powerful. After reading the manual and design drawings he left behind, the magistrate finally made up his mind to do what she said.Just when his thoughts changed, Xiao Yutang felt an irresistible force descending from the sky, reaching directly to the soul. The comfortable and clear feeling shocked her heart. There always seemed to be an invisible barrier between her and this world. , which is now completely gone.

Merit!

Yin Yang Jing's joyful voice sounded in her mind: "Tangtang, you have many merits!"

Xiao Yutang was also very pleased: "Deduct the merits I owe you." Not only did he borrow the merits of Yin-Yang Jing when he dealt with Li Kui, but also the water conservancy design drawings that Yin-Yang Jing found from the underworld. Remuneration is merit.

As for the set of executive manuals, it was written by Xiao Yutang. She has been in contact with many excellent administrative planning plans in the Xiao Group, and she is familiar with this kind of thing, and can easily analyze them in detail and give targeted guidance.

When Xiao Yutang went to Shili Pavilion to give porridge in the evening, there were far fewer people coming.Many people came here to thank the immortal master, and then they were going to work on the river construction site.

As for the child and his mother that Yin Yang Jing said would become a famous general in the future, Xiao Yutang specially found them and gave them ten taels of silver, asking them to find a safe place to live well.

Originally, there were not many old, weak, women and children among these refugees who could survive, but now there are basically only a hundred or so left who do not meet the recruitment requirements.

When the canals are repaired, the farmland is irrigated properly, and more grain can be harvested in autumn, these refugees have basically passed the most difficult period, each has found its own social position, and will not die in large numbers.

Xiao Yutang entrusted Yuniang and Shang Ning, the male ghost who maintained order, with the task of serving porridge at Shiliting, and the time for giving porridge and medicine was also reduced to one hour every night, so he didn't have to come here to guard every time.

For several ghosts who performed well, she gave Yin Qi rewards.

Those ghosts who want to enter the ghost gate to reincarnate are sent away directly by Yin Yang Mirror.

Monk Yuniang Ning got the benefits, knowing that following Xiao Yutang should have greater benefits, so he chose to continue working for Xiao Yutang.

Xiao Yutang didn't have to fight at Shiliting every night, so he went to the magistrate's place and the construction site of the river. He didn't find any problems, so he left two clever little ghosts there to watch, and went to Zhujiazhuang by himself.

It was the first time for her to come to Zhujiazhuang, floating in the air and looking down, it was easy to find that Zhujiazhuang was far larger in size and population than Hujiazhuang.

There are thousands of villagers in the village. They are strong, equipped with weapons, trained in the morning and evening, and have hundreds of horses. They should have specially established a cavalry team.

Zhu's family should be one of the largest landlords in Yunzhou Prefecture. They have land, food and money. Now they even raise private soldiers, which shows that the plan is very big.

Wei Xiaoliu sensed Xiao Yutang's arrival, and immediately rushed over: "Master Ghost King, I'm going to find you! The Zhu family's men will leave tomorrow, and they have sent nearly a hundred people to Qizhou Ambush in the black tiger forest on the road, rob and kill the Hu family uncle!"
