Although Wu Zhen felt that He Fengyu and Fang Hubin got into trouble just because of their fooling around.
As a result, he was besieged by the villagers of Zhoujia Village.
When the situation was not good, these two guys simply lied about the military situation.
So that I can rescue them as soon as possible.
However, they are the disciples of King Zhu Han after all.
No matter what, it will still be passable on the surface.
Therefore, Wu Zhen still pretended to ask: "Mr. He, Mr. Fang, have you really found the water source?"
Before He Fengyu could reply, Fang Hubin said with great excitement: "Mr. Wu, you are finally able to live up to your fate. My senior brother finally found the water source after repeated explorations."
"As long as you put some effort into watering the surrounding fields, there will be absolutely no problem."
Wu Zhen's words caused some commotion among the people in Zhoujia Village.
This situation suddenly shocked Wu Zhen's heart, and he secretly speculated: "What does this mean? Why are these two people not panicked at all? Can they really find water?"
Although it wasn't a big trouble, it was enough to worry Wu Zhen for a long time.
Unless they are desperate, ordinary people will try their best to avoid conflicts with officials.
What surprised Wu Zhen was that after he said these words, He Fengyu and Wu Zhen seemed to be secretly relieved.
In today's Datong Prefecture, even if you grab a handful of soil by the river, it will make people crazy, let alone the fields far away from the river beach.
At this point, you still dare to lie. good!
Since they dare to die, Wu Zhen will bury them.
But what they have learned is to question His Royal Highness.
For the sake of His Majesty the King, he gave them opportunities again and again and helped them turn things around again and again.
It's just that officials with strong ability can govern a little better, and officials with poor ability can govern a little bit worse.
After he spoke, the elders of Zhoujia Village also directly expressed their position: "We are willing to listen to the orders of the prefect."
After hearing Wu Zhen's words, the people in Zhoujia Village were extremely excited.
Moreover, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it never stopped expanding.
In their hearts, they are like gods.
Although Wu Zhen is nominally the leader in this matter, anyone who is not blind can see that He Fengyu and Fang Hubin are the ones who really have the final say.
Fortunately, Zhu Han is not here, and no one can compete with this kind of person at this time.
Wu Zhenren was all confused. What the hell is going on?
Do these two guys understand what the current situation is?
Wu Zhen was speechless now: "It's a monster again."
This is an overall improvement and has little to do with the ability of a certain official to govern the local area.
Wu Zhen was really angry. Otherwise, if He Fengyu and Fang Hubin were really just talking nonsense, the impact on him would also be huge.
Even if it happened for a reason, even if there were all kinds of reasons, it was impossible for Wu Zhen not to be angry at all.
Although in this era, the imperial court has little credibility in the eyes of the people.
This era is not the future, there are many chemical fertilizers.
You magistrate, please listen to the leadership of these two white men.
Fortunately for He Fengyu, an honest man like Fang Hubin suddenly felt his legs trembling when he saw this scene.
This was the first time that Wu Zhen showed the pride of a scholar and a scholar-bureaucrat in front of the two of them.
It is precisely because of this that there is a saying that the king of hell is easy to deal with but the devil is difficult to deal with.
Although they, these shopkeepers, have never been taken seriously by the prefect.
But in this era, people in their forties or fifties are considered old, and it is quite rare to live into their seventies or eighties.
Wu Zhen thought that he had done everything he could to be kind and righteous, but he couldn't stand these two guys. He really didn't know what to do.
"Bah, these monsters are so shameless. They have the nerve to say they found water even though there isn't even a drop of water here."
However, for a magistrate like Wu Zhen to come to the people in person, it was quite a big deal for them.
Upon hearing this, Wu Zhen didn't say anything, but the people in Zhoujia Village started buzzing with discussion.
Even though Wu Zhen, the prefect, is a high-ranking official, if this elder suddenly gets excited when he talks, there will be something wrong in front of him...
However, because I am older, some of my deep-rooted habits are really not easy to change.
The reason why the seedlings here are still alive is because the people in Zhoujia Village braved the scorching sun and went to the Yu River to carry buckets of water for irrigation.
"If it succeeds, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing?"
"If it fails, there will be no loss to our Zhoujia Village."
"Okay gentlemen, let me see how you got the water now."
The reason why he seemed approachable before was just because with his status as Wu Zhen, he no longer needed to use the majesty of his official position to overwhelm others.
Fang Hubin, who was originally an ordinary citizen, avoided the feeling of being taken seriously.
Just treat him as the magistrate of Datong as a gunman.
"Even the water level of Yuhe River is more than two-thirds lower than before."
Another person whispered: "I'm afraid that the prefect will also be deceived by those monsters."
But the question is, who are the bad guys?
In the eyes of those people, Zhang Daxian is a bad guy, and neither He Fengyu nor Fang Hubin is a good guy...
Having been a shopkeeper for most of my life, I know all too well the twists and turns these officials go through on the surface and behind the scenes.
That kind of arrogance and contempt can even be felt by a relatively slow person like Fang Hubin.
But this really cannot be entirely blamed on Wu Zhen. In this era, the resistance to natural disasters is so fragile.
Wu Zhen's words were tough but soft at the same time, which could be regarded as giving Zhu Han enough face.
"Okay! Since the two gentlemen said they found water, I will see today how the two gentlemen managed to create water out of thin air in such a dry place!"
Then we'll see if this guy really knows how to eat.
Now is not the time to talk about these things. What Wu Zhen is more concerned about is whether He Fengyu and the others' claim that they found the water source is true or false.
At the same time, he made a majestic look: "Everyone, please rest assured that since I am here, I will definitely make decisions for you fellow villagers, and I will never let a bad person go."
"If water could really come out here, I would eat all the fertilizer in the field on the spot."
But when facing these ordinary people, they can barely be regarded as one of their own.
Their abilities were all inherited from His Royal Highness King Zhu Han.
Wu Zhen said in a deep voice: "Dear blind daters, please rest assured that as long as I am here, I will not let these monsters do whatever they want."
It is impossible for such a good old man to sit in the position of prefect.
But this does not mean that Wu Zhen is really the kind of good-natured person with no temper.
The anger in Wu Zhen's heart completely exploded at this moment.
Even the clan elder of Zhoujia Village said hesitantly: "In this case, the people of my Zhoujia family will all rely on the prefect."
"In this case, not being able to find water is not an unforgivable thing."
As soon as this idea arose in Wu Zhen's mind, he suppressed it himself.
Therefore, once Wu Zhen shows a serious face and shows off his official power, it will be quite scary.
No!
Probably, they are not good monsters.
But on the surface, he didn't dare to show any slightness.
As long as they are not real idiots, and they don't even need to have outstanding abilities, they can achieve a lot of political achievements.
At this time, there is only one thing used for composting, the legendary rice field.
He hinted to the people next to him to help the clan elder up.
"Master Prefect, please don't be deceived by these monsters. They are not looking for water at all."
"You don't have to be like this, old man." Although Wu Zhen responded inwardly, he secretly scolded the old man for relying on his old age.
"However, since these monsters dare to say that they can find the water source, we might as well let them give it a try."
"If there really was water here, how could the dealer wither and die?"
Wu Zhen didn't even understand why these people believed in his words so much.
Therefore, Wu Zhen's reputation in Datong Mansion is really quite good.
Do you know that if you don’t say anything, your strange power will confuse your spirit?
How can monsters or something like that exist?
Because the Ming Dynasty as a whole has been developing, the quality of life of the people is naturally getting better day by day.
Wu Zhendang, the magistrate of Datong, was sent to follow two white men to search for water sources.
Originally, Fang Hubin and Wu Zhen still had a good impression.
As long as they just stay away, he can make up any excuse and take them away.
"Yes, sir, it's impossible for these monsters to find the water source. They are just casting some kind of magic."
Even though this clan elder is just an ordinary farmer.
Before the drought in Datong Prefecture, Wu Zhen's official reputation had always been good.
But in Wu Zhen's eyes, this is not the case at all.
Wu Zhen's voice was terrifyingly deep: "Mr. Fang, I want to hear your truth. Have you really found the water source?"
The originally panicked look suddenly disappeared, and his back straightened suddenly, like a sharp sword pointing straight into the sky: "Master Magistrate, we and I did not lie, we did find the source of water."
If necessary, Wu Zhen, the prefect, could sacrifice them without hesitation to protect He Fengyu and Fang Hubin.
"Big...big big, sir...we."
The King of England not only gave them a place to live, but also gave them the ability to settle down and make a living.
This is absolutely impossible.
Unlike Zhang Daxian, the people in Zhoujia Village do not understand these twists and turns.
The sharp eyes were on He Fengyu and Fang Hubin.
"If you can't find it, I won't force you to do it. After all, there is not much water in Datong Prefecture."
"Sir, you must not believe what they say."
After all, the knowledge possessed by both parties is not in the same era at all.
It is these village fools who believe He Fengyu's lies.
The dignified prefect said so, and after the people in Zhoujia Village looked at each other for a while, no one dared to raise any objections.
As he said that, he even started to tremble.
This is why the people of Zhoujia Village were so angry when they found out that they wanted to close their fields.
If Zhu Han were here, I would find the guy who said this and see if he can really fulfill his promise.
Nothing else mattered, but Fang Hubin was very dissatisfied with Wu Zhen's attitude at this time.
With Zhu Han as a time traveler, Ming Dynasty's overall productivity has been improving rapidly.
Although there were many things, it was not Zhu Han himself who taught them.
However, the voices of doubt soon disappeared without a trace.
Fang Hubin, who was originally very frightened, calmed down after hearing Wu Zhen's words.
Even this piece of farmland, which is about to die, was irrigated bit by bit by them dragging their tired bodies to the river every day to fetch water.
In fact, all the famous officials in this era have caught up with the good times.
But in fact, I don't think so.
But no matter what the situation is, just listen to what Wu Zhen said. If you take it seriously, you will lose.
Although he has met Zhu Han many times, he can be considered a knowledgeable person.
"But if you still make something out of nothing when you know it doesn't exist, that would be a bit too deceptive."
Many times, they are even very kind to those in lower positions.
If He Fengyu and Fang Hubin were not Zhu Han's disciples, Wu Zhen would have had them dragged out and executed long ago just because they lied about the military situation. Why would he need to talk so much nonsense to them?
However, Wu Zhen never imagined that these two disciples of His Royal Highness were really capable of finding water.
But this knowledge comes from His Royal Highness after all.
Other people in Zhoujia Village also nodded.
After calming down the people in Zhoujia Village, Wu Zhendi's attention returned to He Fengyu and Fang Hubin.
The clan elder of Zhoujia Village also said tremblingly: "Master Magistrate, please make the decision for our Zhoujia Village!"
After all, the dignified prefect was so polite to them.
Not to mention, Wu Zhen was so kind to them.
These people were even more excited.
After all, he was the prefect of one place and held a high position. Wu Zhen naturally had an aura of calmness and authority.
"This matter is related to the safety of all the people in Datong, and it is not something to be joked about casually."
Wu Zhen's performance during this drought seemed to be quite impressive.
As for He Fengyu and Fang Hubin, they had a teacher from the prince.
"Although I don't believe in those monsters, I do believe in the prefect."
But this does not mean that He Fengyu and Fang Hubin can do whatever they want.
It's just that he really made a wrong step, so he had to act according to the instructions of King Zhu Han of England.
On the surface, Zhang Daxian looked as grateful as the common people, as if Wu Zhen, the prefect, was really here to make decisions for the people.
At this time, the daimyo officials were like pigs standing in the wind.
Wu Zhen's words are very beautiful, why make decisions for the people, and why not let a bad person go.
Even a prefect like Wu Zhen would never allow him to become His Royal Highness.
"My lord, please be patient. We will demonstrate it for you right now." Fang Hubin said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
It was as if the person in front of him was not the high-ranking Datong prefect, but just an ordinary person.
