Ruoxuan blinked: Do you need to teach people how to do it in a dream? Does this need to be taught? Human beings are not flowers. When the flood comes, just hide!
But Ruoxuan still thought for a while before saying: "The old god said that the crops in the field should be harvested immediately, otherwise they will be destroyed by the flood; and that some food and clothing should be prepared in advance and placed in high places to satisfy hunger and keep out the cold. The poultry at home Domestic animals, stored grain and valuables were also moved to higher places; as soon as the rain was not coming, people also hid in high places as quickly as possible, and..."
Ruoxuan racked her brains and thought a little more: "Strengthen the dikes to prevent them from breaking, and dredge the rivers to let the floods recede as soon as possible! That's all the old god said! Then I saw in my dream that the floods were coming, destroying houses and submerging fertile fields. I was so scared that I woke up because my soul was in ruins!”
A flower can only know so much. I really can’t think of anything, so don’t embarrass her!
Magistrate Zhang was really shocked. Is it so serious to destroy houses and flood farmland?
There are also these methods of preventing floods that are simple but effective. These are not something a three-year-old should understand.
Is there really a god who entrusts me with dreams?
Magistrate Zhang looked up at the cloudless blue sky. Will there be flooding?
Forget it, just do your best to obey fate!
He is ready. Even if there is no flood, he will be remembered as a fool in terms of political performance. It will be even more difficult to convince his subordinates and the people in the future. But as long as he works for the people wholeheartedly, the people will one day believe in him. of.
Anyway, dredging water conservancy, strengthening and building dams will have to be done sooner or later. It is better to do it sooner than later!
After Magistrate Zhang made up his mind, he asked more eloquently: "Did the old fairy say when there will be floods?"
Ruoxuan sniffed lightly and judged based on the smell of water carried by the wind: "It will start raining in five days."
Magistrate Zhang: ..... He actually even had time. The old god worked so hard for this dream.
In the end, County Magistrate Zhang went from not believing it to believing it!
If he didn't believe anything, he would defend himself even though he didn't believe it. He didn't understand how he could believe it and felt uneasy.
He quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind, and then said to the village chief: "Village Chief, the Yamen will also buy wild rice shoots from today on. The raw ones cost one penny per catty, and the dry ones cost three yuan per catty. Please tell the villagers if you can cut the wild rice shoots." The bamboo shoots can be sent to the Yamen."
When the villagers heard that the yamen had collected every penny and pound, everyone immediately felt that it was really good for the weak family, but this county magistrate was not very good!
Everyone doesn't know that the county magistrate collected it for disaster relief, and will use it for free to the people when the time comes.
One penny and one pound was the wages that Magistrate Zhang gave to the people. Moreover, a penny and a pound are actually not low. After all, wild grass is a wild thing. You don’t need to spend money and put in a little effort. You can cut a pound in two strokes.
Ruochuan was able to give twenty cents per catty based on his prophetic words, which of course could not be compared with the disaster relief materials.
The most important thing is the large-scale acquisition, which is a lot of money for the yamen. It also needs to dredge the river and strengthen the dams, and the yamen does not have so much money.
Only the village chief thought clearly that wild rice is not valuable in the first place, and it is wild. If it can be sold for a penny or a pound, it is already very good.
They are taking advantage of the weak family and selling it at a high price!
But there are other people in the village. The villagers who have not made any money will become jealous when they see that they have made money. He is worried that they will cause trouble.
Now that the yamen wants to collect wild bamboo shoots, even if they cost only a penny or a pound, many villagers are very happy to cut them off and sell them, which also solves his troubles.
The village chief said hurriedly: "The grassroots thank the county magistrate on behalf of the villagers. The grassroots will definitely inform other villagers."
Magistrate Zhang nodded: "Also this year, as long as anyone harvests in advance this year, the field tax can be reduced by ten kilograms of grain per mu, but the field tax must be paid with this year's new grain. The time limit is five days. If it is late, we will not wait."
The villagers exploded upon hearing this!
"Lord County Magistrate, is this true? But the food in the fields is not yet mature! Can the date of paying the thief tax be postponed for a few days?"
"That's right! It will be harvested in a few days!"
...
Magistrate Zhang waved his hand, "No, there are only five days."
As for the flooding, the county magistrate didn't say anything about it, and no one believed it if he did.
Only if there is a profit will someone do it. Even if not all the people are willing to harvest the rice in advance, what he wants is to save some. If there are no floods, then the remaining part can be harvested when it is ripe. congratulations.
The villagers wanted to say something else, but Magistrate Zhang released another shocking news, which instantly diverted everyone's attention: "The Yamen is about to recruit people to dredge the river and strengthen the river embankments. If you are free, you can sign up. 2 One hundred cents a day, no food included."
Two hundred cents a day, this salary is too high! !
In the past, dredging rivers and strengthening river embankments were all done by yamen. How could they get paid?
So the villagers exploded again: "Lord County Magistrate, is this true? I sign up!"
"Lord County Magistrate, two people from my family have signed up!"
"My Lord County Magistrate, my two sons and I are signing up!"
...
One by one, they are rushing to sign up. As for cutting wild bamboo shoots, there are still people at home, so I am not afraid that no one will cut them!
Five days is really too short, and there is not much preparation that can be done. The county magistrate does not have much time to talk to everyone. He only tells everyone that what he just said is true. The Yamen will issue a notice soon. In the afternoon You can go to the Yamen to learn about the work.
After the explanation, he asked the village chief to notify the village chiefs of several nearby villages, and then he left in a hurry.
The villagers were so excited that they quickly helped load a thousand kilograms of wild bamboo shoots into the car. Then they went home to tell their families the big news, arranged their work at home, and then went to the city to sign up to dredge the river.
The village chief also said goodbye to the weak family and hurried to inform others.
After the people in the village left, Mrs. Lei asked her granddaughter: "Xuanbao, what did you say to the county magistrate?"
The whole family looked at Xiuxuan, feeling that the sudden decrees issued by the county magistrate were related to Xuanbao.
"I told the magistrate that I had a dream that there would be floods in five days."
There was sudden silence in the yard for a second.
What comes to everyone's mind is one sentence: Does the county magistrate believe it?
Ruo Jiang panicked: "I'm going to chase the county magistrate back!"
Jiang nodded, almost crying: "Go quickly!"
Xuan Bao is only a three-year-old child. How can we believe her dreams?
The county magistrate is crazy!
Weak Zhou: "I'll go, I'll run fast!"
Mrs. Lei stopped everyone: "Stop!"
Everyone looked at her.
Mrs. Lei looked at Xuan Bao: "Is this true?"
Ruoxuan nodded: "Really."
Even though the well-prepared Mrs. Lei was affirmed, she panicked, but she quickly calmed down and made arrangements:
"Fourth, Sixth, you guys hurry up to the city and deliver wild boars to the restaurant. The wild boar will not be sold today. By the way, you can inform the Fifth that he must go home in the next two days."
"Second daughter-in-law, fourth daughter-in-law, you go back to your parents' house and inform your in-laws, saying that the old man gave me a dream. When you go back, you will take ten pounds of meat and a basket of wild bamboo shoots with you."
Jiang was not happy when he heard this. How could he believe this dream? Even her parents didn’t believe it!
Absolutely ridiculous!
The county magistrate actually believed it, how ridiculous!
