Strange Biography of Three Kingdoms

"I'm up to you, but as I said before, don't force it. I hope that every woman who enters the mansion can be happy."

Yuan Xi thought to himself that you have a good idea, but I don't want you?

But he still had confidence in the sisters of the Zhen family.

Sure enough, in less than a day, the news of the number of deaths due to heatstroke from all over the country flew to Ji County like snowflakes.

Yuan Xi sighed with a headache, and said to Zhang Zhao in the hall: "We can ensure that the common people have food and drink, but there is nothing we can do about this weather. Do you have a good way to solve the problem of hot weather?"

Zhang Zhao shook his head and said, "Humble and incompetent."

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "It's not that you are incompetent, but that there is no good way at all. Well, we can't just do nothing all the time, can't we? In order to show the people that we care about them, I'm going to cut all taxes in half again. You how about?"

Zhang Zhao was taken aback. The tax in Youzhou was the lowest in history. If you want to reduce it now, although it will not cause any problems in Ji County, even if the famine comes, it can solve the problem for a quarter, but it is easy to reduce the tax. , it will be difficult to raise taxes in the future.

"My lord, I think this is inappropriate." Zhang Zhao frowned and said, "Who dares to say that there is something wrong with the tax in Youzhou? It is the lowest in the whole world. If it continues to be lowered, then we will urgently need food. , and then raise the tax, the common people will complain to some extent.”

In fact, what Zhang Zhao was talking about was a problem of human nature, but Yuan Xi obviously didn't think so. He said: "This matter has to be viewed from a different perspective. Although there are a lot of troublemakers in the world, we haven't been reducing them all the time. Only the remaining people this year There are not many days, it can be regarded as compensation to everyone for such a hot day, we will raise the tax in the spring of tomorrow, with a reminder, everyone’s reaction should not be too big.”

No matter how big the problem of the common people is, as long as it concerns many people, as the local leader, he must come up with a solution to the problem.

Zhang Zhao didn't dare to answer alone, so he whispered: "If the lord agrees, I want to go back and discuss it with my colleagues."

Yuan Xi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay then, go ahead, remember to act urgently, if you agree, immediately post the announcement, saying that we should tighten our belts and help the people tide over the difficulties."

Zhang Zhao smiled wryly, considering the wealth of Ji County, why should he tighten his belt.

After correcting some official documents, Yuan Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Qu Zhiyun who was fanning her behind him, "Let's go back home, it's very hot here, and I don't know when it will rain."

Qu Zhiyun smiled slightly: "A few days ago, I heard a Taoist priest said on the street that if anyone can help him build a Taoist temple, he can make it rain."

Chapter 421

Yuan Xi was stunned: "Do you know who that person is?"

"I don't know who I am." Qu Zhiyun shook her head, "I just heard it from the maid who bought vegetables in the mansion."

"This is really interesting." Yuan Xi thought for a while, and said, "Let's not go back, you go down and inform Dian Wei, let him send someone to find this Taoist as much as possible, just say that I have something to do with him, remember not to hurt him." people."

Qu Zhiyun asked suspiciously: "Master, is this going to help that Taoist build a Taoist temple?"

"If he can really make rain, why not help him build a Taoist temple?" Yuan Xi smiled and waved his hand, signaling her to hurry up.

Qu Zhiyun blessed Fuli, and walked down without hesitation.

Looking at her walking posture, Yuan Xi shook his head, feeling amused in his heart, the walking postures of Gan Baobao and Qu Zhiyun before were too enchanting, as employees of the government, Yuan Xi casually said something, telling them to pay attention, Then the two women started to walk in a serious manner.

It's more interesting than before.

Yuan Xi lay lazily on the chair. The weather was so hot that he didn't want to go out at all.Originally, he wanted to go back to the mansion, and then went to Huang Yueying's house through the back door, but he didn't expect to encounter Taoist temples. If this Taoist priest could really make him rain, Yuan Xi planned to build ten Taoist temples for him.

Although Yuan Xi has memories of two lifetimes, it does not mean that he is an atheist. Regarding superstitions, he has always half-believed.

Neither believe nor deny.

Soon Qu Zhiyun came back and said in a low voice: "Master, Commander Dian said that he has also heard about this, and he also knows that the Taoist priest has not left, and now he has sent someone to look for it."

Yuan Xi nodded, feeling a lot more relaxed, whether it's a mule or a horse, just pull it out for a stroll.

"Fan the wind." Yuan Xi shouted in a hurry.

Qu Zhiyun wiped off her sweat and walked behind him, continuing to fan him.

Yuan Xi heard Qu Zhiyun's slightly panting voice, looked back, waved his hands and said, "Go and wash your face first, get a towel here, I want to wipe my face."

"Yes, master."

When Qu Zhiyun came back again, he came back with Dian Wei and a little Taoist priest.

Qu Zhiyun handed the towel to Yuan Xi, and Yuan Xi wiped his face and carefully looked at the little Taoist priest.

It was plain and ordinary, without any sense of immortality, so I couldn't help but feel very puzzled.

Good guy, don't even do superficial work?

Dian Wei seemed to have gone to find it himself, panting tiredly, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, this is the Taoist priest who boasted about Haikou, but no one believed him. People will pay attention to his ability, so this person can be found quickly."

Yuan Xi nodded, instead of looking at the two, he asked Qu Zhiyun in a low voice: "Have you used this towel before?"

Qu Zhiyun's face was reddish, she shook her head, indicating no.

Yuan Xi directly threw the towel to Dian Wei and said, "Wipe it off."

Dian Wei nodded gratefully, he was not polite when it was so hot, and wiped it off in front of everyone.

Yuan Xi looked at the little Taoist priest, and asked with a smile: "Master Taoist, let me ask you, what is said in the market, but you are the one who came out of it?"

The Taoist smiled and said: "Naturally. The poor Taoist still wants to say, if Yuanzhou Mu can build a temple, I will pray for rain from the sky to relieve the heat in Youzhou."

Yuan Xi slapped the table and said with a big laugh: "Let's not talk about one, even ten, I can build it for you, it's just how do you want me to trust you."

The Taoist said calmly: "It is useless to talk too much. On the day the Taoist temple is completed, I will set up an altar to pray for rain. If it fails, I will offer the head of the head in front of the case."

Yuan Xi said lightly: "Your head is of no use to me."

The Taoist priest's face was as indifferent as ever, "This head is the most precious thing of the poor Taoist."

Yuan Xi nodded and asked, "Where is it built? How big is it? You can tell me." Working in such a hot day will cost lives.

"It's inconvenient to talk, but I hope Yuan Zhoumu will bestow the pen and ink on the poor."

Yuan Xi waved his hand directly, and said to Dian Wei: "Dian Wei, I order you to be the supervisor. With all your strength, the Taoist temple will be built within seven days. You can discuss the money and materials needed with Mr. Xu. Remember to find more workers. , take turns, don’t heat people to death, double the wages. I have money from my family.”

The Taoist smiled and said: "I heard that Yuanzhou shepherds and loves the people like a son. Seeing him today, his reputation is indeed well-deserved."

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Don't think flattery is useful, if it doesn't rain, I will kill you."

The Taoist priest looked serious, "Pray that it won't rain then, and the poor Taoist will personally send his head to Yuan Zhou's pastoral case."

Deliver it in person?Yuan Xi suddenly remembered a rumor.

He frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "Dare to ask Changgui's surname?"

"If you are poor, you will not be talented, and the Dharma name is Daoji."

Yuan Xi was stunned, why did he feel a little familiar, no, isn't this Jigong?But how did they come to the end of the Han Dynasty?

Although I don't know what dynasty Jigong was from in my memory, he definitely can't be from the Eastern Han Dynasty or the Three Kingdoms.
