Zhang Xiaowu suddenly felt moved in his heart, but at the same time he was also helpless. He Zhe himself had become the Grand Master of Qingtian. However, it can be seen that being recognized by the people would be worthy of him sacrificing his life to kill the enemy in Saibei. But such a neighbor
The rural dispute was the most difficult case to resolve. The public said that the public was right and the mother-in-law was right. Zhang Xiaowu looked at Ruan Qingwen, and Ruan Qingwen suggested in a low voice that it would be better for both of them to irrigate for one day, one day for Ba Town and two days for Liujiapu.
Zhang Xiaowu summoned Li Zheng and told Ruan Qingwen's suggestion to the two of them, but both Li Zheng objected at the same time. Zhang Xiaowu said to you, "Fuck you." Just now he said absolutely nothing, but you are so against it again, you two Lao Deng are still
Do you want face?
Li Zheng in Ba Town said: "We in Ba Town have 18,000 acres of land, and they only have 12,000 acres. How is this fair? I would say it should be calculated based on the area of the fields. Let's do it this way. Three days for us and two days for them."
, how about rotating the irrigation in sequence?”
Liujiabao Lizheng said: "Although our Liujiabao only has 12,000 acres of land, we have a lot of paddy fields. They don't have paddy fields. The general also knows that paddy fields need water, and their dry fields don't need so much water. From my point of view, we
Two days, one day for them, this is only fair."
"You have many paddy fields, so do you need more water? We have a lot of people in Ba Town."
"You people in Ba Town are all tenant farmers, and we in Liujiabao are all farmers. Can it be the same?"
"What? You people in Liujiabao are human beings, but we people in Ba Town are not human beings?"
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean?"
"You want to fight, right?"
“Just hit whoever you’re afraid of!”
"Come on!"
"Come on!"
The two Li Zhengs were both very young, but when it came to the issue of water, each of them screamed at the top of their lungs and refused to give in to the other. Seeing Li Zheng, they both started to quarrel, and the villagers raised their hands one after another.
Stick in hand, ready to fight again.
Zhang Xiaowu was shocked when he heard this. After all, one river cannot support two towns at the same time. If one town wants to survive, the other town will have to starve to death. If a river is divided between two towns, both towns will be able to survive.
Some people starved to death. But even if some people starved to death, they were much better than Shangyi County, where almost the entire county starved to death.
"Shut up!"
Zhang Xiaowu roared, shocking everyone. The people in the two towns retreated one after another, still glaring at each other.
"General, has he made up his mind?" Liangli asked hurriedly.
Zhang Xiaowu didn't have any ideas, but he thought of the misery in Shangyi County, and what did Bazhen and Liujiabao mean? So he rolled his eyes and shouted: "Everyone, put away your weapons and retreat to the official road."
Both sides. Listen to my orders!" Although the villagers fought bravely, they were still ordinary people. They did not dare to disobey the order, so they temporarily put away their weapons and took a few steps back. Some of the injured were quickly bandaged and treated, and continued to listen to the ghost general's orders.
Zhang Xiaowu sat on his horse, looked around, and shouted: "Now tens of thousands of people have starved to death in several neighboring counties, but your two towns are fighting over grabbing water. I know that if you grab the water, others will
We all have to starve to death. Can’t we take a step back and the sky is brighter? We all want to live, but if we can survive, we will kill each other? What do you think, if you release water to each town for one day, will you all starve to death?”
The two Li Zheng looked at each other and said, "Although we won't starve to death, everyone will not have enough to eat."
"That's it, at least you are still alive!" Zhang Xiaowu continued, "This year's drought, as long as you can survive, is more important than anything else. As long as you can survive, don't care about whether you eat well or not. I passed by Shangyi County and heard that their county
make
We are all starving to death. When the postmaster saw us, his last meal three days ago was still tree bark. Now you are fighting fiercely, very well, very well. Each of you will lose four to five hundred people.
No one is short of food, wouldn’t everyone be happy?”
The two parties looked at each other and speculated in their hearts that in fact they did not want to fight, they just wanted to survive. They had seen the victims in Shangyi County and other places and knew that they could not survive. In order to prevent the victims from being robbed, they even formed a group
They called the rural protection team to drive away the victims. Naturally, they did not want to become one of the victims, let alone be displaced. For the Han people, losing their land and their homes was equivalent to losing their lives.
"So, if you release water for a day, although you can't keep everyone alive, you can keep most of them alive." Zhang Xiaowu said, "In addition, there is a lack of water this year, so you should not plant paddy fields, because there will be more and more water shortages in the future.
, plant paddy fields and wait until autumn, you will all starve to death. Listen to me, focus on some food that matures early and quickly to satisfy hunger. Don’t think about eating enough this year, your only purpose is to survive."
"General, can Saibei survive?" a villager asked.
Zhang Xiaowu thought for a while and said: "Saibei, it is also drought this year, but the people can still survive. If you have a surplus of people and the land cannot support them this year, you can go to Saibei to make a living." Ruan Qingwen hurriedly tugged on his clothes.
Let him be careful what he says, if he really provokes tens of thousands of people to go to Saibei, then Saibei will also
I can't hold it on. Zhang Xiaowu didn't take it seriously. Now that Wuhuan is training, the two sides are just stopping the war, not ending it. After Wuhuan's training is completed, they will definitely go south to cause trouble. Once the war in Saibei resumes, the most lacking thing in Saibei is the source of troops.
, and the soldiers come from the common people. Without the common people, how can they withstand the tiger and wolf enemies?
After leaving the two towns, Ruan Qingwen asked why, and Zhang Xiaowu expressed his worries. Ruan Qingwen thought for a long time and then said: "General, do you think Wuhuan is still capable of going south?"
"Wuhuan still has strength. The last time they went south in winter failed, it was just because of the outbreak of the plague. Wuhuan lost only a few thousand troops before and after." Zhang Xiaowu frowned and said, "Wuhuan's army of hundreds of thousands went south, but only a few thousand were lost.
He hurriedly withdrew his troops. If it hadn't been for the seriousness of the plague,
How can we let Mucheng go so easily? Wuhuan must go south, and Mucheng must be captured. We must make plans in advance. Instead of waiting passively, it is better to take the initiative. When I meet the Holy Emperor this time, I will
I want to fight to seize the Crow's Gold Granary."
Ruan Qingwen shook his head, pointed to the withered fields and dry land, and said: "Look at the current situation in the country, how can we continue to fight? The great emperor cultivated himself with the people and was not a warlike emperor. Now the people's livelihood is in decline and the people's lives are in ruins. Your Majesty
We will certainly not be allowed to launch an expedition."
Zhang Xiaowu smiled and said: "But what if I am willing to pay for it myself, without the court paying a tael of silver for each soldier?"
Ruan Qingwen was surprised and said: "Mucheng only has 10,000 ghost guards. Can you lead 10,000 ghost guards to conquer the Crow Gold Granary?"
"How will you know if you don't try it." Zhang Xiaowu laughed, relaxed his body backwards, and twisted his buttocks. If you do it for too long, your buttocks will feel uncomfortable, especially since your balls will heat up, which makes it even more uncomfortable.
His narrow and bright eyes looked far away at the end of the horizon, which was Daizhou City, the capital of Daizhou. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his smile would often bring death.
Ruan Qingwen didn't know how to advise him. He knew that once Zhang Xiaowu made up his mind, he would have already made plans. He could only sigh and said: "In prosperity, the people will suffer, in death, the people will suffer. General, don't forget your own words."
