In the lobby of the Prefect’s Mansion, people, civil, military and martial artists gathered together. Jushou and Tian Feng are now used to sitting in chairs. Although they don’t feel dignified when sitting on their knees, they are indeed much more comfortable to sit on. There are two people. The second time I wanted to ask Liu Xin for two copies, but I finally held back.
Liu Xin looked at everyone present and said, "Everyone, I had a dream last night. I dreamt that a golden armored god said to me that there will be a severe drought in Jizhou this winter and next spring!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard what Liu Xin said, and they started talking.
Liu Xin stopped everyone and said: "If there is a major drought, there will be major problems in the agricultural harvest next year, the lives of the people will be severely affected, and there will even be a famine of large machines. We must prevent it."
Tian Feng stood up and said, "The adults' worries are justified. Farmers generally only leave enough grain to eat next summer. If there is a serious drought, then the harvest will fail or even fail next summer, and there will be a large number of crops. Refugees. Major disturbances will occur in Jizhou."
Liu Xin didn't expect Tian Feng to tell the essence of the matter at once, so he went on to say: "Looking back to the horse thieves who have frequently appeared in various places recently who specialize in looting and burning food, I have a bad feeling. There seems to be a mysterious force. , Adding to the flames."
Jushou said, “Don’t worry, adults. Since the autumn harvest this year, according to your instructions, we have purchased a large amount of grain to support until the end of next year. The two generals Xu and Zhang sent troops and horses to patrol everywhere. The county has been very long. There has been no incident of horse thief grabbing food in time, and the people have a lot of surplus food in their hands. Even if a drought occurs, they should be able to survive the drought."
Liu Xin shook his head and said, "Nevertheless, we can't take it lightly. I think we can still consider using the current agricultural slack season to build water conservancy projects and dig ditches and wells just in case. This way, even if there is a drought, there will be a little harvest. "
It was the first time for Zhang Jun to attend such a meeting attended by Liu Xin's confidant. He wanted to do a good job, so he couldn't wait to stand up and said, "Going back to your lord, it's actually not difficult. We can ask for rain."
"Pray for rain? Cough, cough..." Liu Xin took a sip of water in her mouth and choked in her throat before she could swallow it.
Zhang Jun saw Liu Xin look surprised, and said triumphantly: "My Lord, I heard that there is a man in Julu County. The surname is Zhang Mingjiao. He is also known as Taiping Taoist. This man has great magical powers and can reach the sky. Absolutely, if it wants to rain, just ask this person to come, and it will do so."
Zhang Jiao? Unexpectedly, his fame was so big, Liu Xin opened his mouth and couldn't speak.
Zhang Jun also said: "If the adults can trust the next official, the next official will go and invite. I think the adults are for the people of the county, and the great mentor will come with pleasure."
Of course Liu Xin didn’t believe that asking for rain would help, but at that time, even the emperor would order rain. Now that Zhang Jun mentioned it, it’s really hard for him to object to it, and he wanted to see it too. What kind of person was Zhang Jiao who started the Yellow Turban uprising, so he had to say: "That's good, then I will work hard for Master Zhang."
"Yes, the next official will do it." Seeing that Liu Xin had adopted his suggestion, Zhang Jun happily took the order and prepared a gift to invite Zhang Jiao.
When Liu Xin saw Zhang Jun leaving, he said to everyone in the hall: "It's hard to tell whether this kind of rain is reliable or not. We can't rely on him. Mr. Ju and Mr. Tian, you two are responsible for organizing the people to build water conservancy projects. Purchase a large amount of food. General Zhang and General Xu, you respectively lead the troops and horses to patrol around to prevent horse thieves from making chaos. General Dian, you lead the Flying Tiger Guard to protect the safety of the families of the adults."
Everyone took their orders and left, leaving only Liu Xin and Zhao Yun in the hall. Zhao Yun got up and said, "My lord, what are my plans?"
Liu Xin reached his side, patted his shoulder and said, "Zhao Yun, you worked hard a while ago. There is nothing left to do for you for the time being, so you can use this time to practice martial arts and read more books."
Liu Xin understood that the reason why Zhao Yun was willing to come to Hejian was entirely because of Fan Juan. He didn't know why Fan Juan married Zhao Fan's brother in history. Later, Zhao Yun attacked Guiyang and Zhao Fan surrendered from the city. He once wanted to marry Fan Juan, who was already widowed, to Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun refused. Now that Liu Xin has run into him, of course he will be the matchmaker, so that the lovers will finally be married.
However, for a long time, Zhao Yun and Liu Xin seem to be a little detached. But Liu Xin was not worried because he knew that Zhao Yun was a loyal man. He followed Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei had been invited several times. He couldn't bear to leave until Gongsun Zan died. He did not switch to Liu Bei until Gongsun Zan's death. Now that he follows himself, he will definitely not have any ambitions. He always has to take refuge in Cao Cao or Yuan Shao in the future, and he may leave himself. At that time, it will rain, and marrying people will be too much to worry about. At the moment Zhao Yun is just an older child. Liu Xin does not want to burden him prematurely and affect his future development. He still hopes that he will learn more and experience more. Zhao Yun did not understand Liu Xin's intentions, and was rather reluctant.
At this moment, Ma Yun walked in angrily. Ma Yun likes Fan Juan, a pretty and lovely girl very much, and she often chats with her and tells her stories. When Fan Juan is okay, she also likes to go to Ma Yun, Aiwu and Wu. Zhao Yun respects the prefect wife very much, much better than Liu Xin's attitude. Seeing her angry look, although Zhao Yun didn't speak, he looked at Liu Xin shamelessly, because he felt that no one except Liu Xin dared to make his wife angry, not to mention the wife was still pregnant.
Liu Xin was shocked when she saw Ma Yun’s expression, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her and asked, "Madam, what's wrong with you? Who is making you so angry? Quite quickly, if you move your baby. It's troublesome to get angry."
Ma Yun hummed in her nose: "I brought you a man, do you see who it is?"
After Ma Yun said hello to the outside, two Huwei soldiers brought in a beggar from outside. Liu Xin was wondering. When he took a closer look at the beggar, he couldn't help but lose his expression: "Li Lin?! Didn't you have been beheaded two months ago? How could it be?"
Ma Yun said angrily: "I almost injured his hand. You have to check this matter carefully."
In this era when there is no entertainment, shopping has become Ma Yun’s greatest hobby. Liu Xin also hopes that she will walk more. This is good for her body, so she never stops her, just sends a few guards to the back. Follow far away. Today, as usual, she asked Fan Juan to go shopping. Fan Juan is still a little girl who hasn't made her way, and she grew up in a small village. She feels fresh about everything in the city. If she is a young lady, she would easily refuse to show her face. Moreover, the lady is not very pretentious and treats her very well, so Fan Juan is also willing to accompany her everywhere.
When they came out of a silk shop and walked a few steps, they heard someone shouting behind them: "Be careful, madam!" Then they heard a scream of "Ah", but when they turned their heads, they saw a girl fell down. On the ground, blood oozes from his forehead, and his face bleeds all over. Two guards were holding one person, and a stone was thrown beside it, still stained with blood. Fan Juan had never seen such a scene, so she turned her face away from fear and dared not look at it again. Ma Yun is a police academy student, so naturally she is not afraid. She first checked the girl who fell on the ground. She must have reminded herself to be careful. Ma Yun picked up the girl, took out a handkerchief, and pressed it on her forehead to help her stop the bleeding first. Upon closer inspection, she recognized this person, who turned out to be Erya who was expelled from the prefectural palace. Seeing that Erya was still unconscious, Ma Yun ordered the two guards to send her back to the Taishou's Mansion first, and asked the doctor to treat her, and then went to see the person held by the guards, who turned out to be a beggar. When she took a closer look, she was suddenly even more surprised. It turned out that this person was actually Li Lin!
It is said that Li Lin had been beheaded for public display two months ago, how could he appear here? In terms of Li Lin's life too, because he was greedy for Ma Yun's beauty, his family was ruined. Fortunately, the thief Cao Shi Chen Jin was also a close friend of Li Cheng and cared for him in prison. The day before the execution, Chen Jin did not know where to get a beggar, dressed as Li Lin, and took a knife at the food market for him. Chen Jin has never done this kind of thing in the past, so he is naturally familiar with it. After a few more days, Chen Jin saw that there was no rumors, so he quietly sent Li Lin to a foreign country, which was considered to be an incense for the Li family.
Li Lin was originally a dude, and there was really nothing he could do except to ask Liu for flowers. There are not many entanglements around him. It didn't take long before he was exhausted. He helped others for a few days of day-to-day work. He was so tired that he had to suffer a few whips when he moved slowly. When did he experience this suffering? I really couldn't stand it. After thinking about it, I dived back to the river and sought help from the old men who were looking for my uncle. Unexpectedly, these people heard that Li Lin was not dead, and they came to the door. They all regarded him as a plague god. Even Chen Jin refused to see him. They threatened him to leave Hejian as soon as possible, otherwise they would get him into the wild and be buried alive. .
Li Lin didn't dare to leave the city because of his fright, so he hid in the city, begging for a living. One day, when Li Lin was begging to the door of a pharmacy, he saw a man and a woman walking out of the store. Li Lin saw the man, but he recognized him. He was a small bastard who used to follow him and quickly hid away. Looking at the woman again, she couldn't help being shocked. It turned out that the woman was Li Lin's wife, and she was very affectionate with the gangster. Her abdomen was slightly raised, and she was obviously pregnant. Li Lin hated her teeth. This woman has been married to the Li family for three years, and she hasn't laid any eggs. Now she must have been the bastard, but she also knows her own situation and dare not come out.
On this day, Li Lin was sitting on the street, and suddenly saw a pregnant woman walking by. He found that she was not accompanied by a man. Thinking of her own woman, she was about to give birth to other people. One of the broken stones hit the woman's head.
