On that day, Gu Chang''an, the new 1000 households of Chentang County, the hanging mirror division, arrived in Yanbo county.
Because the great demon of Yanbo Lake stirred the wind and cloud, the sky changed. It began to flood spontaneously. It has been raining these days. At the beginning, it was still pouring. However, the rain has gradually decreased up to now.
In a restaurant in the county.
It was noon. It was raining outside. There were more than 20 people eating melons and fruits, drinking tea and chatting in the restaurant hall.
The second floor is a box, mostly empty, only a large box with a few people inside.
Three silent jinjialishi stood on both sides. A young man sat in his position and looked at the rain outside through the window. Several others were also on the side.
At this time, a middle-aged man in coir raincoat hurried into the restaurant with an umbrella from the outside, and then was led up by the waiter.
On the second floor, I saw the young man. The middle-aged man was suddenly restrained and quickly bowed: "I''ve seen Gu Qianhu, Xiaguan Yanbo county magistrate Zhou Ping."
"Don''t be polite... Let''s talk about things first."
Gu Changan waved his hand and said.
"Yes!"
County Magistrate Zhou Ping just sat down in the chair next to him. As soon as he sat down, he listened to Gu Chang''an and said, "did the number of people affected by the flood come out?"
Hearing this, Zhou Ping quickly sat up straight and said respectfully, "this time, Yanbo Lake set off a flood, which affected the whole county, 200000 people and 17000 households, most of which could not produce and could not be sustained."
"In addition, nearly 30000 people were either drowned, killed by aquarium monsters, or missing... The situation is not optimistic."
"The situation is erosive..."
Gu Changan couldn''t help sighing.
In this world, although there are martial monks to protect the people and city gods to adjust the sky, unless the terrain is bad, the weather is generally good, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
But correspondingly, martial friars, naturally, are also plagued by demons, ghosts and evil ways - as the saying goes, immortals fight and mortals suffer.
Although these demons can''t reach this point, they have the power that ordinary people can''t imagine. With a random blow, they may bring destruction to ordinary people.
Just like the storm in Yanbo lake this time, the whole county was flooded.
For ordinary people, this is a disaster.
These thoughts flashed through his mind. Gu Changan came back and said in a deep voice: "I have only one request. Search and rescue the victims as soon as possible... The suspension mirror department will cooperate. We must control the flood in the shortest time and minimize the impact and loss!"
"We should try our best to ensure that all the affected people can survive until the spring of next year!"
County Magistrate Zhou Ping said immediately, "if only our county might be too weak, but with the help of the adults of the hanging mirror department, it must be no problem."
"In addition, according to your instructions, now the big gentry in the county are waiting below. Do you want to..."
The county magistrate said tentatively.
"I don''t have to."
Gu Chang''an waved his hand and said, "I''m the hanging mirror division. My duties are different from yours. You''re in this county and want to see them. Do you understand the meaning of calling them this time?"
"I understand that there are two main points. One is to persuade the victims to reduce the tenancy rent so that the victims will not lose their wealth or even be heavily in debt. The other is to raise charity money for the relief of the victims!"
Zhou Ping said respectfully.
As a matter of fact, this is a common practice - every time there is a natural or man-made disaster, the big squires have to pay for grain to help the county tide over the difficulties.
In return, the county will give them relevant care.
Zhou Ping doesn''t believe that these people dare not give face.
"That''s roughly what it means. Discuss with them and make a list of those who donate money and food." Gu Changan said blandly, even waving his hand to let the county magistrate go.
The magistrate saluted again, and then respectfully retired.
Went downstairs to the hall.
Zhou Ping is a county magistrate. Everyone in the county knows him. At the moment, everyone stood up to meet him, smiled and said, "the county king is coming, sit down, sit down..."
"We''ve all arrived. We''re waiting for you!"
"Oh, you still have rain on you. Take off your coat and put it by the stove... Man, take a clean blanket and don''t let Xian Jun catch cold!"
The man hurried up carefully and waited on him.
And the big gentry nodded and bowed again and again.
Zhou Ping sat in a chair with his hands in front of the stove and a blanket over his body. People around him surrounded him. Zhou Ping looked around and nodded with satisfaction when he saw the posture of the people.
"The new thousand households of the hanging mirror Department heard that there was a flood in Yanbo county and made a special inspection tour. This is a blessing in our county. Thousands of adults have compassion and wide benevolence. Although we roll in the mundane world, we can''t ignore the general. We are smart people and should understand some things..."
This time, every new thousand households will say it again when they come to inspect. Some of the large squires present have seen it several times, and their ears have been cocooned. But at this time, they still show the color of sudden enlightenment. One by one, they opened their mouths and said, "what the County gentleman said is that thousands of adults, gods and immortals are not ordinary, but we can''t lose etiquette."
"Lord Qianhu, if you have any orders, the county gentleman will say, we must follow the king!"
"This is a matter of benevolence and virtue. We all understand and are willing to."
……
The words downstairs reached Gu Chang''an upstairs. Although Gu Chang''an listened, it was obvious that his mind was not here - his eyes had been looking far away.
That''s the direction of Yanbo lake.
Only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no truth to prevent a thief for a thousand days.
If you want complete stability in the territory, you need to solve all the unstable factors in the jurisdiction - or suppress, kill, or incorporate.
Downstairs.
County Magistrate Zhou Ping continued: "there is a flood in the county, so many victims need to be rescued. Real people have the heart of benevolence and morality. We can''t bear that they have no land. We also need some merit... We need money and food, but we need the large families and squires in the county to relieve their money one after another."
After that, Zhou Ping picked up the tea bowl and sipped the tea.
Although Gu Changan respectfully smiles in front of him, the county magistrate is still a county parent after all. He can be called hundreds of miles Hou and has his own style.
Although they talked happily just now, they should really pay for food at the moment. They still looked at each other, and no one spoke.
Zhou Ping didn''t panic, but just glanced at the whole audience.
This silence is only temporary. If no one really pays for food, it is equivalent to beating his county yamen''s face and hanging mirror''s face.
Sure enough, after a while, a middle-aged man with a beard stood up, looked at us calmly and said, "it''s our blessing for thousands of families to come to Chentang County... It''s also a good thing to accumulate merit when rescuing the victims. My Li family is willing to give 1300 stones of grain and 1000 liang of silver!"
Someone took the lead, and the following began to agree.
"My family should also touch some of this merit. I''m willing to give a thousand stones of grain and 800 liang of silver!"
"My family has less grain, mainly commercial firms, so I am willing to give 2500 liang of silver!"
At this time, the outside rain has gradually stopped, leaving only a few raindrops, but there is still a chill.
The restaurant is very lively, one by one scrambling to save their lives and donate money and food.
But for a moment, he had raised 10000 stone grain and 15000 liang of silver, but there was still a gap from the original expectation. Zhou Ping was a little unhappy. He was going to be angry, but at this time, he heard a voice in his ear: "these are enough. Just record the roster."
When Zhou Ping saw that there was no difference between the left and right people, he immediately knew that this was the divine means of the hanging mirror company. Therefore, he restrained his unhappiness and said with a smile: "very good. It seems that everyone is very positive. Let''s make a list and record it. At that time, it will be handed over to thousands of adults for review."
Seeing that Xian Jun''s face was unhappy, the whole hall thought they were going to be angry. They were worried and wondered if they would bite their teeth and mend some more. At this moment, they were very happy and hurriedly asked the guys to bring paper and pens and sign one by one.
When it was over, they talked again, and everyone left one after another.
After everyone left, Zhou Ping put away the paper of the pledge and went upstairs. When he saluted, he said, "thousands of households, things have been done... Do you want to eat here in the evening?"
"No, I won''t eat any more. You should keep an eye on things and don''t make mistakes."
Speaking of this, Gu Changan stood up and said in a loud voice, "county magistrate Zhou, this is the first thing I have just done in my county. Do you think someone will not have eyes at this time and spoil my merit?"
That''s a little gruesome.
Zhou Ping immediately spread a cold sweat on his forehead and quickly saluted: "don''t worry, sir, there will never be such a thing... I personally urge him on the front line. If someone doesn''t open his eyes, he will be the first to be killed!"
Although the heart is cold, when it comes to this, it still appears with a trace of ruthlessness.
At this time, there were monks and martial artists. Naturally, the officials of the imperial court were not weak scholars. They all had some martial arts or skills.
The county magistrate is in the imperial examination. He seems weak, but he also has strength.
"Well, you go and do your business."
Seeing the county magistrate''s statement, Gu Changan waved his hand and said.
Even if I walked to the window, I didn''t have any scruples. I went straight to my body and turned into a rainbow.
The rest followed, leaving like streamers.
Seeing Gu Changan leave, the county magistrate wiped his forehead and stood up straight.
Looking at the direction of departure, I can''t help showing envy and longing in my eyes - although the county king is good, where can there be a free and carefree man who hangs a mirror to take charge of martial arts and friars?
……
Yanbo County, Yangliu Town, fifty miles from Yanbo lake.
This place was originally a large area of farmland, but at this time, you can see a piece of water.
At this time, the rain has stopped, but the dark clouds are still tenacious. The sun shines down through the clouds. Instead of feeling warm, it is cold.
The people in the town are rebuilding their houses under the organization of officials. From a distance, there are people on both sides of the road in the whole town.
The farmland has been destroyed, and there is no harvest this year. Many floating corpses are soaked in the field by the flood, and they are buried in the soil by the farmers organized by the county yamen service. Around these corpses, the warriors and friars of the hanging mirror division purify and eliminate them with spells to prevent the birth and spread of plague.
At the corner of the town, there are congee sheds, some government officials, some local benevolents, and some hanging mirror companies.
Many people are waiting in line. These are the affected people. Although their clothes are shabby, what they show in their eyes is not silence and numbness, but more hope and the future.
When the county''s Yamen were giving porridge, they were saying that this was the benevolence of thousands of families of the new hanging mirror division in the county, who gave everyone a way to live. Therefore, the people were very grateful. Many people even set up longevity tablets at home to pray day and night.
Gu Chang''an walked in the street, only followed by Lu Jiang. A little farther away, there were three people, Jin Lai, Jin Xiang and Jin Qu, watching around.
Looking at these people, Gu Changan asked, "Lord Lu, what do you think now?"
"Thousands of households, this is not only a benevolent move, but also a right way to govern."
Lu Jiang lags behind one position - he has always been like this. He has been in the hanging mirror company for a long time, has no desire to make progress, and doesn''t want to make enemies. Therefore, he is very enthusiastic about everyone and is diligent and loyal. He just wants to make a good impression on Shangfeng and pave the way for future generations.
At the moment, he said: "now that demons are showing their signs, martial arts and friars also have the power to protect the ordinary people. They don''t pay much attention to the people''s hearts and popularity, but it still has an impact after all."
"Especially for our hanging mirror department, although the hanging mirror department is a large Yan Court Organization, it measures the merits and demerits of thousands of households in each county to see whether it has made great achievements. Great achievements are difficult to find, so stability has become the mainstream."
"Thousands of families, you have done this and gained popularity in the hearts of the people... There are only martial arts left behind. No one dares to make trouble, but the three main doors dare not block our hanging mirror division, so you don''t have to worry as long as you don''t make big mistakes in the future!"
"And once you can punish the demons and make the territory under your jurisdiction stable, it is a great achievement, but it is not easy after all."
Listening to Lu Jiang''s words, Gu Changan thought carefully for a moment, and then nodded.
Lu Jiang really deserves to have stayed in the hanging mirror company for so long. Although he was a little slippery, he still had a good eye.
"People and martial arts are the basic plate. As for demons..."
Thinking of this, Gu Changan showed a cold light in his eyes.
He definitely wants to get rid of the demons of Yanbo Lake - Gu Changan doesn''t need to burn three fires when a new official takes office, but the demons of Yanbo Lake come out to stir up the wind and rain just when he takes office, which is tantamount to hitting him. If they don''t clean up, how can they deter the curfew?
Just how to get rid of the demon in the end, he still needs to go and observe it in person
"Boom!"
Just when Gu Chang''an thought of this, suddenly a thunder came from the sky. With the bright light flashing, the whole sky suddenly brightened and then darkened.
Looking up, I saw dark clouds surging and rolling in the distance, and thunder flashing and interlacing in the dark clouds.
"It''s the direction of Yanbo lake!"
Gu Changan''s eyes coagulated.
"Qianhu, this situation is wrong. Is that demon..."
Seeing this vision in the sky, Lu jiangton frowned.
But before he finished speaking, Gu Changan suddenly flashed, and the whole person jumped into the air, and then turned into a Changhong to escape.
Seeing this, Lu Jiang and Jin Lai, Jin Qu and Jin Xiang followed immediately.
Fifty miles, for Gu Chang''an today, it''s just a cup of tea to control the Hongguang of Yuqi.
As soon as I landed in Yanbo lake, I saw the huge Yanbo Lake rolling like the roar of the sea.
In the clouds above the lake, electric lights flashed across the whole lake, turning it white, like mercury, and bursts of thunder resounded through it.
Yanbo lake covers an area of 100 Li and has several rivers. Its drainage basin covers half of Chentang county. It is the largest lake in Chentang county.
At this time, the dark cloud shrouded the whole Yanbo lake. A moment later, under the rain, heavy rain fell on the lake, making the lake spread and flow to the land, and flooding the land that had just been flooded again.
Not to mention that, many aquarium monsters came out and greeted the lake happily. What''s more, they still landed at this time in an attempt to kill humans.
In the clouds in the sky, there is a big demon, which looks like a python, but towering overhead. At this time, it is flowing vertically and horizontally in the dark clouds, sometimes roaring, and looks very happy.
But Gu Changan looked gloomy.
This Python demon is really reckless!
It is recorded in the hanging mirror division that five hundred years ago, Wu Sheng established the hanging mirror division to cut down mountains and break temples and sweep away demons. A large number of ghosts and demons were killed. Many of them had the strength to occupy a place and had their own ghost city, but all of them were ruthlessly beaten down.
This kind of killing makes all demons and ghosts afraid of it.
Later, demons, ghosts and Demons wanted to unite. After learning about this, 11 immortal real kings and 13 martial arts heavenly men of Dayan, led by Wu Sheng, personally entered the 100000 mountain of the demon family court.
The specific details are not clear, but after the martial saint of the human race, Changsheng and heaven and man came out, the demon family announced that from then on, all the members of the demon family fled into the mountains and waters and did not compete for profits with others.
The demon clan must not wreak havoc on the world, or the human demons will kill it!
The python demon, as the master of Yanbo lake for hundreds of miles, wantonly manipulates magical powers in the world - if he wants to control the spread of the lake within the scope of Yanbo lake, no matter how others can''t control him.
But the python demon didn''t control much. As a result, so many people were killed. It''s really crazy!
Damn it!
In addition, Lihuo Valley, as a Terran sect, is also stationed near Yanbo lake, but sits idly by watching demons wreak havoc and watching Terrans suffer. These acts
"Just wait and settle one by one afterwards!"
Gu Changan said in a deep voice.
For Python demon and Lihuo Valley, they may have their own reasons for their behavior, but Gu Chang''an, as a thousand households in Chentang County, is in charge of this thousands of miles. What he wants is that this place is controlled by him, and there can be no disobedience or instability.
Only in this way can we make arrangements when the next player comes.
In this way, python demon and Lihuo valley became the targets of his crackdown and suppression!
The reason is simple——
Just different positions!
"It''s just that the great demon needs to improve his cultivation in order to get it. If he wants to suppress it, he needs to improve his cultivation!"
Gu Chang''an saw that the cultivation of the python demon had reached the demon handsome realm, which was equivalent to the martial arts master realm. With his current strength, I''m afraid he was still out of reach.
Even if we insist on encirclement and killing, the final result is only to lose both sides.
This is not what he wants.
"It seems that you need to improve your cultivation as soon as possible!"
Gu Changan thought secretly.
At this time, several streamers fell, but Lu Jiang and others gave a sigh of relief when they saw that Gu Chang''an was all right, and said, "thousands of families, this big demon can''t stay here more, but leave as soon as possible!"
Gu Changan nodded.
Just before leaving, he said, "Lord Lu, when you know something about Yanbo County, you can implement one thing..."
