Zhang Miao sneered, and said to Chen Gong: "My lord's government order, which one has not been implemented to the root cause, Chen Liu is just such a person, you have forgotten that the Yellow River estuary broke the embankment and destroyed thousands of acres of fertile land, I am the prefect of Chen Liu But we haven’t forgotten. Now we have a large army and strong peasants. If we can’t defend the dam like this, it can only be said that God is trying to embarrass the common people. When the dam burst, those eloquent ‘celebrities’ Where and what were you doing then?"

Chen Gong was so blocked that he couldn't speak. When the dam burst two years ago, he and Bian Rang were playing chess on a high mountain, worrying about the lives of the common people, and wrote two poems that aroused people's grievances, that's all.Hearing that the dam burst and thousands of acres of fertile crops were flooded, Rang lost his appetite because of worry, and sighed that the local officials were incompetent in governance. It was his wife and friends who comforted him before he was able to eat a few bites.

The farming course that Duan Ying gave to them back then left a deep imprint on Zhang Miao's mind. Looking back on it until now, I still feel dull in my heart.He is also a descendant of a famous family, and was annoyed by Bian Ren's visits all day long. Zhang Miao couldn't bear it, and immediately became angry and swearing: "The lord sent people to dig the canal. It is a precautionary measure. Beware in advance. People farm, not only to fight with others, but also to fight with others." We still have to fight against the sky. People have landlords and gentry, and heaven has hurricanes and thunderstorms. If we don’t make arrangements now, do we have to wait until the embankment really bursts before regretting it? Once the flood floods the fertile land, what’s the point of planting more food? No, it’s not the same as being blocked in the field. A few scholars who have learned a little bit of the words of the sages are complacent and think that they are very capable because of their reputation. Do they know what farming is? They know nothing!"

"Snapped!--"

The loud applause echoed Zhang Miao's words, and the two looked up, only to see the figure of Bian Rang flying upside down and hitting the door frame, with a few white teeth drawing a graceful arc in the air, and flying to the ground.

Cao Cao lowered his raised hand slowly, and said sharply, "Guards, take this arrogant man to prison!"

He looked at that chattering mouth, which was extremely obstructive to the eyes, and the impatience in his heart had reached its peak, and he wished he could slap him to death!

Cao Cao thought this way, and he did the same thing. With that slap, the expressions of the people around him disappeared instantly. He only felt refreshed and comfortable.No wonder women like to slap people. It turns out that slapping is such a cool thing. When you look at it, let the mouth vomit blood, and the mouth is crooked. Let him breathe out the fragrance again, and the slap makes him find his teeth all over the place!

Cao Cao was elated for a while.

As soon as this remark came out, the soldiers who came with them all around became angry and attacked, and the scene suddenly became noisy and chaotic: "Cao thief, officials and bandits beat people!"

"He hit Mr. Bian, how dare he slap Mr. Bian in the face, this is contempt for scholars, tyranny, tyranny!—"

Cao Cao was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, so he raised his hand and said ruthlessly, "All of them have been caught!"

Officers and soldiers gathered and detained people according to the words. The scholars were so weak that they couldn't match the strength of this group of big men, shouting and cursing each and every one of them, and they were still put in prison.

Zhang Miao has been annoyed by the border guards for the past few days, and he has been holding back. Now that Cao Cao slapped his face, he felt refreshed and refreshed. He laughed loudly: "As expected of Meng De!"

Cao Mengde dared to do what he didn't dare to do, what the consequences would be, dare to do it, this is Cao Cao's courage!

Chen Gong was worried, Xi Zhicai pulled him back, and said in a low voice: "Now the lord is angry, don't go up and intercede for Bian Rang immediately, there is still room for the matter to turn around, the lord didn't say that he would kill Bian Rang , don’t talk too much, when the time comes, the counselors around you will bend their elbows, and the lord may order to kill this scourge in a fit of anger.”

Chen Gong was held back, on one side was the lord he recognized, Zhong, and on the other side were his group of friends, Yi, the embarrassing situation of both loyalty and righteousness, in which, only he knew the feeling of suffering and powerlessness.

What Xi Zhicai said is right, Cao Cao didn't order the killing of Bian Rang and other scholars, everything can be redeemed.

Cao Cao quickly forgot this episode. He had too many things to do, so how could he be in the mood to pay attention to a few talkers?

It rained continuously in Chenliu, and there was no sunshine for several days in a row. Soon someone came to report to Cao Cao: "Zhou Mu, the river is rising violently, and now it has risen to the yellow line!"

When the river was dry, Cao Cao ordered people to draw three lines on the measurement ground. The bottom line was the green line, and the middle line was the yellow line. drought.

When the river water reaches the yellow line, it represents a danger signal. Once found, it is necessary to report immediately and take corresponding protective measures.

Cao Cao ordered: "For the first army that is practicing in the school field, everyone should bring tools and go to the lower part of the river to dig ditches to drain the water!"

He gathered everyone and assigned instructions: "Let the people registered in every household be in charge of an area, and each township will issue gongs according to a row."

"Meng Zhuo (Zhang Miao) led the Second Army to set off to the inland mountains, and transported sand to the shore for support!"

"The three armies stayed to take care of the farmland, and ordered to inform Chenliu to urgently recruit people who are good at hand-weaving, regardless of the old and weak, women and children, and they will be hired to pack grass and give them food and wages. All accounting records will be recorded again, and the public platform will be responsible."

Cao Cao issued orders to act resolutely and decisively, even if the heavy rain stopped immediately, everyone was working in vain, and he also took the risk of wasting people and money.Just because he issued an iron-like order throughout Yanzhou, once the flood reaches the yellow line, all the staff will be put on alert.

Facing the loess and their backs to the sky, farmers who depend on the sky for food cannot resist the hardships bestowed by the sky, so Cao Cao will lead them to fight against the sky and fate!

Cao Cao doesn't believe in the destiny, he only believes that my destiny is up to me!

Everyone acted quickly, under the leadership of Cao Cao for many years in the high-efficiency officialdom, under the orders of Zhou Mutie, no one refuted, and they all followed.

Transporting sediment, digging ditches, notifying the people, forming a militia, collecting grass and packing sediment, everything was carried out step by step.

Zhang Miao traveled to and from various counties in wind and rain, transporting mud, sand and rocks. He became a clay figurine with his clothes untidy, and led his men to excavate and dig the soil without stopping.

Chen Gong didn't have the time to think about the side things, once he got busy, his brain was exhausted, and he didn't even have time to eat, so he ate a pancake to deal with it when he was hungry.

Xi Zhicai directly reports to Cao Cao, and follows Cao Cao to busy schedules. As the most competent "secretary", he is so busy all day long that he can't even sleep well.

If there is a shortage of manpower, one person can be used as two people. Cao Cao can use himself as three people. As long as he stands at the forefront, he is a needle for calming the sea and is the backbone of everyone. People obey and obey him. , As long as he doesn't fall, the morale gathered will go forward indomitable.

The rain continued relentlessly for several days, and Chenliu ushered in the darkest season of the year. The river continued to rise, and the army digging ditches and the strong peasants were so busy that they were still exhausted. The small streams of the river water cannot meet the huge total river water volume, and the moment the river water reaches the red line, the banks everywhere are at risk of bursting their embankments.

Cao Cao activated all the available forces, whether it was the army or the people, all participated in it.Today, on the banks of the river, patrolling officers and soldiers and civilians staring at the embankment can be seen everywhere. Every ten battles, there is one person wandering around, and each team has a gong. Grass bales piled up immediately.

Lu Bu's army was sent to the front line because all the members were tall men. Cao Cao summoned the tallest men in the barracks to guard the most critical pass, and sent people to pile up straw bales continuously.

The grain and grass planted in the spring plowing in the rear have green tips and are growing healthily and vigorously. People from all over the country come to drain the fields so that

The common people looked at the port eagerly, praying in their hearts that God would spare their food, and their helpless eyes burst with hope when they saw Cao Cao's arrival.

In the dark night, the rain is still falling, the torches cannot be lit, and the lanterns cannot withstand the wind and rain. Oil-paper umbrellas have become a burden in such a heavy rain environment. Officials and civilians wear coir raincoats and carefully patrol with lanterns.

The ear-piercing sound of the gong resounded in the night sky, and the nearby camp became noisy instantly. People gathered together, and the uneasy voice resounded in the camp: "The pass has burst, the pass has burst!—"

"The grass bales piled up at the pass have all been washed away!"

Chen Gong rushed over upon hearing the news, grabbed one person and said anxiously: "Where is Zhou Mu? Where did Zhou Mu go?"

"The state shepherd has already led to the front!"

The water poured down along the pass, and the heavy rain in the sky continued, and the water flooded the surroundings. The ground in front of which we could stand had turned into a river pond, almost submerging the waists of the men.

Lu Bu, who was more than two meters tall, stood out among them, and the water just reached his buttocks.

Cao Cao commanded at the front and shouted at the crowd: "Assemble a human wall, push the grass to move forward!"

The human wall surrounded by nearly a thousand men pushed forward the grass piled up to form a fortress, resisting the pressure from the turbulent water, and yelled forward in the water.

The heavy rain almost blinded Cao Cao's eyes. He stood on a boulder, as if he was resisting the invisible pressure from the sky with his small stature. Command, hear the sound and move.

"The back-up grass wrap is connected!"

The first row of forts made of grass bales were blocked, and the men used human walls to resist the impact of the river, and the people relied on throwing grass bales to relay, and continuously transported the grass here, fighting like this until dawn, until the grass piled up. As high as a mountain, the river seemed to have been blocked, and the raging water trickled down the various canals dug earlier.

Chen Gong spontaneously led people to divert water, and Xi Zhicai shouted from the other side: "Master, all the dams are blocked, and they are all intact!"

There was a thunder in the sky, Cao Cao kicked his feet and fell into the pool.

After being irrigated by the heavy rain, the water had already submerged the chests of the men, and Cao Cao could not step on the soft ground. The fall was like a dumpling falling into the soup.

Lu Bu rushed forward in three steps at a time, lifted Cao Cao from the bottom of the water and held him on his shoulders, waded to the other side, and sent him to the high ground, cursing: "The little dwarf should be more honest!" , want to learn from me without any self-knowledge? Leave the rest to me!"

Cao Cao was so angry that he was suddenly poked in the height and hurt his feet. Unexpectedly, Lu Bu turned around and left, and ordered sharply: "Everyone follow me to get water!"

The rain in the sky slowed down, and the drizzle fell on people's shoulders. About two hours later, the rain stopped, and a red sunset appeared in the sky. A rainbow was dazzlingly illuminated in the sunset, as if even the sky We are applauding and celebrating the efforts of mortals.

Under the beautiful scenery, the officials and the people wept with joy, supported Cao Cao, and shouted incoherently: "We have succeeded!"

"We've kept the property!—"

The crowd's cheers infected Cao Cao, and he and the people celebrated happily. The gongs distributed to the people were loud, and the piercing sound made the whole world restless. People laughed and shouted, Surrounded and grateful, countless people called Cao Cao "Cao Qingtian", and the support of the common people was louder and louder. Chen Gong was so moved that his eyes were red when he saw such a scene.

The diversion of the river went smoothly, but within two days, the water gathered at the important pass was sent away by manpower, and news of success came from all over Chenliu, and the river flowed along the diversion channel to a place where it would not affect the fields.

Chen Gong reported the overall calculated results to Cao Cao: "My lord, about 900 mu of land was flooded in various places, and the loss was controlled within 6000 mu. The loss of military land was [-] mu, and the well-preserved land was about [-] mu. There are many acres, and it is expected to usher in a bumper harvest in autumn!"

Cao Cao happily said three times: "All the people who lost their land are registered, and every household can receive compensation. All those who fought on the front line of disaster relief, whether they are soldiers or ordinary people, are all rewarded. This year's autumn harvest is rationed, and those who harvest less than a hundred buckets will be exempted from taxation."

Cao Cao opened a treasury to distribute red envelopes, but everyone who participated in the disaster relief could receive rewards of silver and grain. Every time Chen Gong registered the number of people, his heart ached, and he persuaded Cao Cao in a low voice: "Master, take it easy, the granary Not much, and our treasury has not much money."

Cao Cao asked: "Is there enough emergency money for basic survival?"

Chen Gong replied: "It's enough, there is no problem to spend the winter."

"Then use it. Don't worry about money. Money will rust if left unattended. It's better to let them play their due value. Only when people use money in their hands can the government be rich. This is complementary. Financial prosperity is only a matter of time. "Cao Cao took money very lightly. He had no boss to curry favor with, and he did not care about property. Half of his monthly salary was handed over to Cao Song as the children's milk powder, and the other half was invested in the construction of people's livelihood.

When he goes in and out every day, he either wears the official robe or the general uniform that is easy to move. They are all custom-made by the government.

The people who received the favor were overjoyed, and some even asked Cao Cao with a smile: "Is there no self-interest in being an official of the state shepherd? All the benefits are given to others, what about you? What motivates you to work hard so far? Are you happy? ?”

Cao Cao said strangely: "The whole Yanzhou is mine. Is this called giving benefits to others? If the people are rich and the soldiers are strong, I will be happy."

Isn't this obvious?The strength of Yanzhou is his confidence. Cao Cao not only wants Yanzhou, but now even Qingzhou. If he wants to calm down the chaos in this world, he needs more people to support him and a stronger army to fight.

The common people couldn't stand at the height of Cao Cao, so they naturally didn't understand Cao Cao's thoughts. They remembered the phrase Cao Cao said, "If the common people have money, I will be happy."

Once passed on to ten, ten to a hundred, the people in the whole Chenliu are saying, "Cao Qingtian is a good official who truly treats the people as his own people!"

Chen Liu passed a big difficulty, and Cao Cao happily drank three cups with Zhang Miao to celebrate the success of their cooperation.

Zhang Miao exaggerated: "Meng De is still amazing! If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be in a hurry and lose more, and then I would be pointed at the nose by those famous people and scolded the stupid officials. Back then The heavy rain ruined our project, and when Duan Zi announced that everyone failed the assessment, I almost cried out of grievance, and now looking back, it seems like another day."

Cao Cao laughed happily: "Today's reality assessment was successful, thanks to the strict teaching of Duan Zi back then. You and my classmates fought against the sky together, and it was a lot of fun, hahahaha!"

The two toasted to celebrate, reminiscing about the past and enjoying the beautiful future. Cao Cao said: "There is a certain amount of rainfall and water vapor. The most feared thing in this flood is the drought in the coming year. We still can't take it lightly."

"Don't worry, Mengde, I am also a student of Qiaozi. I will never forget the knowledge taught by these Qiaozi and Duanzi."

Cao Cao was in the right mood, and Zhang Miao suggested: "Bian Rang and others have been imprisoned in prison for so long, and they only eat my prison food and don't work. Mengde might as well punish them to do hard labor, let them dig ditches, plant land, build The city wall?"

Cao Cao hesitated and said, "That's not good. If you send the scholars to do hard labor, whoever dares to join me in the future will no one share the work, and everyone will have to divide it into two."

He thought for a while, and finally said: "Forget it, let them go, and I will leave Chenliu soon. Liu Bei's battle situation in Qingzhou is not good, so he sent someone to send a letter for help, and Lu Bu clamored to go to war again. , it’s almost time for me to make a move!”

Zhang Miao said with a smile: "Meng De is really a busy person, after the busy one, there will be another one."

"There are so many things waiting for me to do in the world. If I get busy now, I will have a better life in the future!" Cao Cao and Zhang Miao drank together again, chatting and laughing.

While waiting for the celebrities to be sent home, Chen Gong didn't say anything after receiving the news, so Xi Zhi asked him, "Aren't you going to send them off?"

Chen Gong shook his head, the scene of Cao Cao falling into the water and dumpling floated in his mind, and the scene of Cao Cao being surrounded by the people, shouting "Cao Qingtian", strengthened his belief, and whispered to Xi Zhicai: "I I have already made up my mind to always support the lord. Since I am already the lord's counselor, I should break off the relationship with those who oppose the lord, and wait for them to die. It is the lord's kindness, and there is no need for me to meet them .”

Xi Zhicai was all smiles, and patted Chen Gong on the shoulder, saying everything without saying anything.

Not long after, the previous notice scolding Cao Cao was unexpectedly circulated among the people, and the people were outraged. Someone scolded their Qingtian, which was as serious as tarnishing their gods!

The homes of Bian Rang and other celebrities were constantly being attacked by the common people. The young people filled with righteous indignation went too far, rushed into their homes and smashed them, and reprimanded Bian Rang: "What kind of shit celebrities are just mediocre people trying to get fame. Don't be a trash who only talks about it!"

While waiting for celebrities to be disturbed, even when they walk on the street, old farmers will roll their eyes at them and spit at them.

Children threw dog feces at the door of their houses and stones in the courtyard. Many scholars could not bear such humiliation and moved away one after another.

Not long after, Chen Gong received the news that Bian Rang committed suicide at home because he was scolded by the people and was so ashamed and indignant.

Chen Gong sighed softly, shook his head slightly, and didn't care about these things anymore.

And Cao Cao rushed to the hall angrily, yelling impatiently: "I'm so bored, I'm so bored, why is Lu Bu so annoying? Didn't he just save my life in the flood and threaten me with the grace of saving my life?" Tell him where Diao Chan is, am I such an easy compromise? Ask every day, ask every day, Gongtai, tell me, how can you stop him!"

Chen Gong paused, he had backed away privately before, but now he always felt a little guilty when facing Cao Cao, which made him eager to do something for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's troubles are obvious, he is about to be annoyed to death by Lu Bu!

Diao Chan, Diao Chan, Diao Chan, asked Diao Chan in his ear every day, and he avoided him and ran away, but he could still block the door.

Chen Gong volunteered and said: "General Lu insists on seeing Diao Chan, there must be something important, my lord is inconvenient to ask, because I'm afraid he will pester you, why don't you just let me find out the news and find out what makes him pester you all the time? ?”

Little stars appeared in Cao Cao's eyes, and he grabbed Chen Gong: "Gongtai, you are a great savior! Help me get Lu Bu out of here, I believe you can fool him with your wisdom!"

The author has something to say: Cao Cao: First he scolded me for being short, and then pestered me to take off my vest, Lu Bu, this beam is getting bigger!

PS: I will be quarantined at home for a few days, I will adjust my work and rest to increase my resistance, and I will not stay up late anymore. I want to grow my hair, do it in situ, and grow up and grow up and grow up! ——
