Chapter 770: The sky is reluctant to fight

Along the way, Xiao Bei always wanted to find an official who came out to provoke him, and then take the opportunity to clean up.

She believes that two-thirds of the officials in the Tang Dynasty can easily find out the problem, and half of the ones that should be killed can be killed, and half of the remaining one-third are ineffective, and only a few officials are doing practical things.

Of course, even so, it is better than the officialdom in the story told by my brother. My brother said that it is harder to find an official who does not embezzle and accept bribes there than an aircraft carrier to go to the sky.

Xiao Bei wanted to cause trouble for officials, not on embezzlement and bribery, but on officials who made the local area worse and worse, even if he was as honest as water.

Although corruption and bribery are inconsistent with the law, from reality, an official who can make the lives of the local people ten times better will understand even if he embezzles part of the money.

An official who has no ability and can only keep his life unchanged, the people's attitude towards him is indifferent.

The most hateful thing is that officials who make people's lives worse and worse and embezzle them. Such officials will not relieve their hatred if they cut their heads a hundred times.

As a result, the team walked along the way, but wherever they looked, she was in a prosperous place. She didn't believe it. She didn't say anything else, but only said that the capital city, and the snow fell, there were still people in thin clothes, and the crowds were flooding, and the lament was heard.

Why do you see thriving along the Yellow River?

The people who saw on the shore were dressed and angry, walking in the city, shouting one after another.

At that time, it was not only Xiao Bei, but the other children were also annoyed. Could it be that all the businessmen ran to the bank of the Yellow River?

Xiao Bei wanted to go down to deal with people several times, but his brother stopped him, saying that instead of asking for trouble directly, it would be better to send someone to collect evidence secretly. It is the busy season of spring plowing. If you go down to check people, can you still do the local work? The beheaded knife should be lifted without falling.

So he gave an idea and put up a banner on the boat, which read "The inspection is focused on the people's spring farming matters", "Sinong Temple emphasizes that grain farming must not be slackened", "Grassroots work should be implemented in specific projects".

In this way, Xiao Bei was angry and waited to get off the boat. When he heard Xiaoyuan's comfort, he sighed like an adult: "Hey~! I won't check it anymore, it's like this on the road, let alone the county town I owned, Jiuyuan is located in the border area, where do the gangsters come from? Many people are the families of soldiers, who dare to bully? Are you not the blood of our Tang soldiers? Is the knife not good?"

"Who should we ask for venting anger?" Xiaoyuan cooperated very well at this moment. To put it badly, he was afraid of his wife, but he didn't know it himself, so he felt that he should learn from his brother. He usually gave in to his sister and always coaxed his sister. But once there was something important, his brother's face became serious and his sister became very gentle. He didn't know what the reason was. Who was afraid of whom.

"Don't ask anyone to vent their anger. Change your clothes and military uniforms later, and go to comfort the soldiers." Xiao Bei took a deep breath, calmed down, and walked towards the city.

The county town of Jiuyuan County is not as open as that of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Since the fleet has been established, almost all the walls of the county towns within the Tang Dynasty have been demolished, which is convenient for merchants to come and go. This is true in the capital. If the people have lost their hearts, the city walls cannot be defended.

However, the county town of Jiuyuan County has tall city walls, outer walls, inner city, and then there are unclear trees, most of which are deciduous forests. It was planted since Fengzhou became the trading base of Zhang and Wang families, turning a flat land that was originally a grassland into a large area of ​​forests.

Especially near the four banks of the Yellow River, yes, four banks, because the Yellow River has forked, four banks have formed on land. Over a long distance from the shore, the former arable land has been replaced with forest areas.

If you want to divert water and irrigate, the artificial rivers in the forest area are intertwined like chessboards, and the rivers can be connected by boats, and many fish are raised.

This layout makes people look stupid. If you plant so many trees outside the city wall, wouldn’t you provide tools for siegeers? Isn’t you afraid that others will struggle to climb the wall and can’t find the materials to make ladders?

I haven't been here for a long time, and my memories gradually faded away, which surprised a group of children when they saw the scenery around me. They had a lot of common sense and frowned in various shapes.

"Brother, wait for me and I'll ask something." Xiao Bei shouted, going to chase his brother who was surrounded by local officials and listened to the explanation.

Zhang Xiaobao stopped and looked back.

Xiao Bei ran two steps to come to his brother, grabbed his brother's arm and asked, "Brother, let's ask you, why are you planting trees near the city wall? Are you not afraid of the enemy's use?"

Zhang Xiaobao was slightly stunned. Unexpectedly, his younger brothers and sisters took this issue into consideration and nodded and smiled at the officials around him. The officials closed their mouths with a "very understanding".

"This question is good." Zhang Xiaobao stretched out his other one and touched his sister's head and said.

Wang Juan next to him couldn't stand it anymore, so he gave Zhang Xiaobao a blank look and said, "Your brother is just making a fuss. Let me tell you, doing this in Jiuyuan County is the same as not building the city walls in the capital. Your brother and I never thought that one day the enemy will attack our city.

Our defense is offense, which makes the enemy panic every moment. They dare to rush thousands of miles, so I let them lose the entire country halfway.

We built tall city walls and planted many trees to prevent deserts. Fengzhou has changed a lot. In the past, the local people were not doing well. Should we think of a solution?”

"Oh." Xiao Bei suddenly realized: "It's a wind and sand protection. I thought it was a man's defense. The desert is so big. I looked at it from the map and it was so scary. Is it all related to the random cuts and logs mentioned in the story?"

"Absolutely not." Zhang Xiaobao took over the words and said, "Crazy cuts and logs are just a fuel to the fire. How can humans do it? But when we live, we have to fight against the sky, not a struggle, and we are not qualified to fight against the sky."

"Why can't you fight with the sky?" Xiaoyuan came over and said dissatisfiedly: "People say that the floating clouds are only there in the heavenly immortals, but I said that I climbed the five mountains and the floating clouds were low. Since ancient times, the Yangtze River has become a celestial stream. Now I am going back to the pedestrians."

Xiaoyuan said very arrogantly, especially when it comes to the Yangtze River. Although the bridge can only be suspended by pedestrians, it also crosses the river. This is the credit of my brother and sister at the beginning, and she never bows to any difficulties.

The officials around deeply agreed that Xiaobao and Juanjuan gave people the feeling of warmth and safety. No matter what happens, as long as they pay attention to it, difficulties are not difficulties. This means that when the Yellow River breaks, the people will feel at ease when the two of them stop. They don’t have to consider other things, they just need to follow their arrangements.

Their existence is invincible.

After a little thought, Zhang Xiaobao said to his younger brother: "Whether it is the Yangtze River or the sea, it is the sky. All we defeated is ourselves. There are ants under the sky. If you grab the cocoons you raise, what is the difference between the big ones and the small ones?"

"Since that's the case, what else can we fight against?" Xiaoyuan asked in frustration.

"We are smart cocoons. When the thugs catch them, we avoid them through various means. Then we grow little by little, turn into a cocoon into a butterfly, we fly up and avoid that hand, but we cannot threaten that hand, so it is called resistance, not struggle.

Therefore, we have been competing with time to defeat ourselves. Now we are taking the first step, first planting many trees around the desert, and then removing the desert bit by bit.

If we are upside down at a certain moment, we hide first, and after it calms down, we will start planting trees again. We may not be able to survive if we fight, but we will definitely die if we don’t fight. We will fight for a lifetime and not fight for this life. It is better to do something that makes us feel comfortable.

So what is comfort? This is material comfort and spiritual comfort. We try our best to enjoy both. The rewards must be paid, so we are always moving forward to find a distance across the soul."

Zhang Xiaobao said a lot to his younger brother, but he wouldn't have said that if it were someone else, just because Xiaoyuan's literary background is deep enough.

Sure enough, Xiaoyuan's expression kept changing. At first, he was confused, followed by sadness and anger, pain, then helplessness, and at the end, he was firmness and calmness.

Xiaoyuan closed his eyes and thought for a while, then asked, "What should we do?"

Zhang Xiaobao smiled and clapped his hands one after another, and walked forward with his legs wide open, shouting loudly: "Please do this with me."

The little guys immediately clapped their hands and followed behind and shouted, "I'll do this with you..."

Happy holidays to my brothers and sisters.
