Bai Liangpu smiled and said, "You should use your brain more when encountering problems."
"This Beichen, he is protected by Hu Cheng, we can't touch him. What he relies on is just your Majesty and the Grass Reclamation Order."
"Your Majesty is far away in the capital and has no control over us. As long as he breaks his laws, Zhang Beichen himself will be killed by the backlash without us taking action!"
"How to break it?" Bai Liangju looked at his elder brother's confident expression and knew that he already had an idea.
Bai Liangpu did not answer directly, but said: "The springs in the county have shown signs of drying up recently. You have to order us to let the tribesmen divert water to irrigate their farmland earlier. Don't be afraid if you encounter any trouble."
After hearing his words, Bai Liangju immediately understood and said, "I'll do it right away!"
…
A few days later, Zhang Beichen practiced martial arts with Hu Cheng in the county government office.
Although he is currently practicing Legalism, Zhang Beichen feels that having too many skills is not enough for him. After all, there are practitioners and demons in this world, and what you want to do can easily offend others. Only by improving your strength can you protect yourself.
"Gather spiritual power into the body, and whether you punch, draw a bow, draw a sword, run, or jump, you will be like a god with help. You can have strength and speed that ordinary people cannot reach." Hu Cheng demonstrated, and he punched , a huge boulder was smashed into pieces by the hammer!
"Uncle Huber, if all the soldiers on the battlefield were like you, wouldn't it be a scene of destruction when the war started?" Zhang Beichen asked curiously.
"Destroying the heaven and the earth is a bit exaggerated." Hu Cheng said with a smile, "Most of the soldiers are only below the third level. Elite soldiers who can reach the fourth or fifth level, and those who can reach the sixth level are all generals."
"Furthermore, generals rarely act alone. This is because there are military practitioners in all countries. They form military formations with soldiers and gather the power of everyone. They have the power to conquer mountains. Even I dare not resist."
Zhang Beichen was stunned. When he first came to this world, he thought it was just an ordinary ancient world. Who knew there were so many magical places.
"Uncle Hu, since there are so many practitioners, it should be easy for them to help civilians, whether it is farming, irrigation or building houses? Why are there so many victims?" Zhang Beichen asked.
"You are wrong, there are not many practitioners." Hu Cheng shook his head and said, "Most people just simply practice martial arts and are a little stronger than ordinary people. They can naturally farm, irrigate and build."
"Practice requires more food, supplemented by spiritual herbs and elixirs, and guidance from famous teachers. How can ordinary people afford it? Therefore, only nobles from the seven countries are often qualified to practice beyond the third realm."
"And as nobles, they will not engage in productive labor. Instead, they need more people to work for them."
"You said helping common people, but some people do that. For example, farmers, doctors and other schools, but their cultivation is often not high, and most of their disciples are not nobles and have low status."
While they were talking, Ada hurried over to report: "Sir, it's not good."
"What's wrong?" Zhang Beichen looked at him.
"A fight!" Ah Da shouted, "A fight broke out in Baiyang County. The Baiyang family and their people started fighting. There were thousands of people!"
"What?" Zhang Beichen was shocked. A fight involving thousands of people was no different from a small-scale war!
If this fight continues, at least hundreds of people will die. How can Zhang Beichen stand on his own if something like this happens under his rule?
He had heard Hu Cheng say before that Qin people were martial and private fighting was common. According to surveys, more people die in private fights every year than on battlefields every year!
At this time, Liu Wen also rushed over and said to Zhang Beichen: "Sir, it's better to invite the army to suppress it, otherwise there will be big trouble if this continues!"
Zhang Beichen then said to Ah Da: "Ah Da, take my order and ask General Che Yang to bring troops."
Che Yang was a subordinate of King Qin, and his military camp was stationed not far from Baiyang County.
"Yes!" Ada took the people away.
"Liu Wen, take the officers and go to the scene!" Zhang Beichen ordered.
There are now more than 20 officials in the county government, most of whom have no cultivation skills and it is difficult to quell the fighting.
Zhang Beichen didn't care about this, and asked Liu Wen about his situation as he hurried on, "Why are they fighting?"
"Sir," Liu Wen explained, "there is no big river in Baiyang County. The irrigation of farmland depends entirely on a spring called Longyan Spring. It is said that Longyan Spring is formed from the eyes of earth dragons. It is not only abundant in water, but also has a Spiritual energy, use it to irrigate farmland, and the crops will grow very well!"
"The people in Baiyang County need Longyan Spring for drinking and drinking water. But there is only one spring, and the water output is limited. Everyone has to use it, so disputes are inevitable."
"Both the Bai family and the Yang family want to occupy Longyan Spring, but no one will accept the other. They usually live in peace, but when the busy farming season comes, everyone needs water, and the two families have to fight."
"They fight almost every year, and several people die every year. I heard that the water flow in Longyan Spring this year is only one-third of previous years. Now one family has not enough irrigation, so the two families fight more fiercely."
Zhang Beichen already roughly understood that there was a conflict between the two families because of the water problem. This year they encountered water shortage again, and they also deliberately caused trouble for themselves, so they started to "fight" directly.
If this matter is not handled well, Zhang Beichen, let alone enforcing the law, will also repeal the recently issued "Grass Reclamation Order", which will backfire on him.
When Zhang Beichen rushed to the place, thousands of people were already fighting in the open space in front of Longyan Spring.
They wielded sickles, hoes, and some even held weapons directly in their hands, fighting to the death as if they were fighting on the battlefield, with no regard for life.
Zhang Beichen saw dozens of corpses lying on the ground, completely unrecognizable!
Both sides have become angry. If the fight continues like this, they won't be able to stop until hundreds of people are killed!
The heads of the two families, Bai Liangpu and Yang Shan, just watched with cold eyes and did not take action to stop it.
These people who died were all their slaves and tenants, so they died. Anyway, there were so many refugees, so we could just recruit them again.
"Bai Liangpu, Yang Shan, tell your people to stop immediately!" Zhang Beichen shouted.
Bai Liangpu glanced at him and said, "What are you talking about, Mr. Zhang? What do you call my people? They are all good citizens of Baiyang County. This dispute is also about water issues. What does it have to do with me?"
Yang Shan also said sarcastically: "Isn't Mr. Zhang very capable? Why not do it yourself?"
"Hmph!" Zhang Beichen snorted coldly, issued the "Grass Reclamation Order" and shouted: "Everyone stop, private fighting and armed fighting are serious crimes! There must be punishment!"
His voice resounded through the wilderness, and everyone could hear it. The laws and regulations turned into golden letters and flashed in the air, gradually forming the phantom of a hill. Everyone felt that the pressure on their bodies was huge and it was difficult to move.
Zhang Beichen only felt that his body was exhausted. With his level of cultivation, he could not suppress so many people even with the help of national luck.
Therefore, he directly equipped the skin he obtained in the game [Sacrifice: Zhang Beichen]. In an instant, Zhang Beichen's momentum surged, and his pressure completely suppressed everyone!
"This boy, has his cultivation progressed so fast?" Bai Liangpu and Yang Shan were both shocked.
At this time, a ray of black energy flew out from the Longyan Spring, directly smashing Zhang Beichen's golden law into pieces!
The pressure on the combatants was reduced and they started fighting again.
"Is there a demon?" Hu Cheng's heart moved and he wanted to check, but he was worried about Zhang Beichen's safety and couldn't leave.
"Hahahaha!" Bai Liangpu and Bai Liangju couldn't help but laugh wildly.
Yang Shan continued to taunt: "If Mr. Zhang doesn't have that ability, just watch it honestly. When they decide the winner, you can lead the officers to wash the floor."
