Ye Xiaotian slept late today, and his heart was full of warmth and sweetness. As Fatty Zhang said, he really slept comfortably. At the fifth o'clock in the morning, the wind suddenly became violent, and by dawn it was already heavy rain. The rain poured down like no money, covering the sky and the earth.

Generally speaking, if the rain is too rapid, it will weaken for at most half an hour. However, after more than an hour of heavy rain, the rain still did not weaken at all. Ye Xiaotian woke up in the sound of heavy rain. When he opened his eyes, he seemed to be dazzling.

Ye Xiaotian reached out and touched him, and there was no more Doni. Ye Xiaotian got up in his clothes and walked to the outer room. He happened to see Doni walking in from the corridor with a food basket. When he saw Ye Xiaotian, he smiled and said, "I woke up. I saw that you were sleeping soundly. I couldn't bear to call you, so I went to bring you breakfast."

Ye Xiaotian said: "When is this time? Why did you get up?"

Donnie said: "It's already time. Do you think it's still early? It's just that today's heavy rain is so dark that I can't see it."

Ye Xiaotian was shocked and said, "Is it already the Si Shi time? Oh no, I just took office and I'm going to go to the yamen to delay."

Donnie comforted, "Don't worry, it's rainy today. Our manor is built against the mountains, with low fronts and high backs. The water in the courtyard is still very deep. It can be imagined that the flat ground in the city will not be the only one who delayed the yamen today."

Ye Xiaotian went to the corridor and looked out. It was raining heavily. The 10 rainwater flowing from the eaves was no longer like stringed beads, but poured down like small waterfalls. The water accumulated in the yard was indeed very deep and there was no time to discharge it. The shallowest part was about to lose its ankles. Ye Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Xiaotian returned to the hall and sat down. Donni had already placed breakfast on the table. Ye Xiaotian picked up the chopsticks and said to Donni: "Come on, don't call Yaoyao here today. You and I have dinner, and I just happened to have something to say to you."

The two sat down while having breakfast. Ye Xiaotian said to Donnie what he said to Jealous yesterday. When Donnie heard this, she was overjoyed, and her pretty cheeks immediately rose with two peach-like red rosy: "Brother Xiaotian, is it really? Do you want my father's tribe to move to Tixi?"

Ye Xiaotian said: "Yes, let them migrate out of the deep mountains. They may not be used to living on a plain day. Besides, if so many tribesmen change their living habits all at once, they cannot guarantee their livelihood. So they should ask them to live on the mountain, but it is always good to be closer."

Donnie snatched the rice, her eyes were already smiling as crescent, and she said happily: "I'm thinking that now I'm in Tongren, it's far from the village. It's inconvenient to visit my parents. If they can move to Tixi, it's very close, right?"

Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "Well, if you move to Tixi, it is not far from here. However, I am not allowed to migrate their tribe to make it easier for you to see your parents. The main purpose is to have enough people to protect me nearby."

Donnie immediately became nervous and asked, "What, is anyone trying to be unfavorable to Brother Xiaotian?"

Ye Xiaotian waved his hand and said, "Not yet, but... it's better to prevent problems. I mediated the Mercury Mountain Rebellion in the previous period. It was not very pleasant to have a fight with several local tribes. Most of the local tribe leaders and officials of Tongren Prefecture have mixed relationships.

This time, the Zhang family and Dai family are suing for life, and I am afraid both parties will not be satisfied with my breakup. If something really happens, it will be difficult to protect our whole family with just a dozen guards around me. It will be safe to transfer some people to settle nearby."

When he heard about Ye Xiaotian's life safety, Donni nodded seriously. Ye Xiaotian was not only her man, but also the waiter of the Gu God whom she devoutly believed in. Whether for her personally or for the Gu Sect, the Venerable will not let the Venerable make any mistakes.

Ye Xiaotian coughed and said, "Tixi is still a certain distance away from this. So, I also consider to transfer more people to Tongren City."

Donni nodded repeatedly and said, "This is good, this is good! You always have to have more people around you to be safe."

Ye Xiaotian said: "But it is not OK to arrange too many people in Tongren City. Besides, I am not at the moment. Just in case, if there are always some unknown people around me, it will cause suspicion. The elders in our church have relatives in the secular world, right?"

Donnie said: "Of course, they all have brothers and sisters. Even if they have been elders for many years, they still have many relatives in the tribe. Sometimes, they will adopt a son from their relatives' house to inherit the incense of his lineage."

Ye Xiaotian's eyes showed a little smile and said, "It's great! Then, let the eight elders choose a family from their relatives, move to the foot of Dongshan, and live in front and behind my mansion. I will help them find some livestock in the local area, so that no one will find it strange if they live here for a long time. They are relatives of the elders, and there should be no problem with loyalty."

Donni said disapprovingly: "Brother Xiaotian is too worried. As long as it is said that it is to protect the Venerable, no one in the people of more than 100 flags in the 18 caves of Jiuzhai and the 18th dynasty is unwilling to sacrifice their lives for the Venerable. They are all loyal people."

Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "But the eight elders worked hard and made great contributions. I gave this honor to their families first, so others would not be irresponsible. Otherwise, I would only have hundreds of people, but eight thousand people came at once, which made me unable to settle down."

Donnie thought for a while, Zhan Yan smiled and said, "What Brother Xiaotian said is still what you think carefully."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Because the heavy rain was pouring, Ye Xiaotian felt at ease not to go out. After he had breakfast, he took a while and waited for a while. After the heavy rain stopped, he left the mansion and went to the government office with the guards.

As they walked along the way, they turned around and took places with higher terrain, but they were still walking and stopping, which was very slow. Many roads were already vast, with sandbags built at the entrance of some families, and people were scooping outwards with pottery pots. Some naughty children were sitting in large wooden basins, and leisurely regarded the street as a small river.

From time to time, a long-standing earthen wall would be soaked in rain, and it would be poured down after a rumbling. Seeing this, Hua Yunfei couldn't help but frown: "When this heavy rain comes, I'm afraid many poor families will collapse their houses and be homeless."

Ye Xiaotian looked at the water that had already spread to the horse's belly and nodded slightly.

The prefect's yamen was originally the Tusi Mansion, with a relatively high foundation, and the location of the Tusi Mansion was also in a higher terrain in the city. Therefore, when Ye Xiaotian walked on the street in front of the government office, the water was no longer deep and the horses moved much lighter.

Ye Xiaotian rushed to the prison hall, took off his water boots, poured out two boots and accumulated water. Mao Wenzhi walked over with big feet and handed over the official boots on his shoulders. Ye Xiaotian put on his socks and was about to put on his boots when he saw Zhang Bin, the governor of the prison hall, hurriedly walked in.

When Zhang Bin saw Ye Xiaotian, he said happily: "The Promoter has arrived. The Prefect sent an order to convene three squads and six wings, and the heads of each department will be held to meet."

Ye Xiaotian kicked up a boot and asked, "Did the magistrate say what happened?"

Zhang Bin shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of this."

Ye Xiaotian put on his boots and walked to the prefect's main hall alone. When he arrived at the main hall, he saw that Dai Tongzhi, Li Jing and others had arrived. Most of these people lived in the center of the city or were close to the government office, which was more convenient than Ye Xiaotian who lived at the foot of the East Mountain.

What surprised Ye Xiaotian was especially that Yu Junting, the female chieftain who was said to have never been to the government affairs of the yamen. She seemed to have become much more diligent recently. Ye Xiaotian sat down next to Li Juan and asked in a low voice: "Is there anything important to summon the magistrate?"

Li Juan said lazily: "I heard that my relatives of the magistrate, who were the magistrate complained to the magistrate, and it was full of rain. It was inconvenient to enter and exit. I guess the magistrate summoned him for this matter."

Ye Xiaotian nodded after hearing this. Dredging rivers is related to household departments and engineering departments, and he will never have anything to do with him, the chief prosecutor of the Criminal Department. He came today, just bringing a pair of ears. After a while, a man who looked like a staff member walked out from behind the screen, stood beside the case, and coughed, "The magistrate has arrived."

The officials stood up one after another, and saw Zhang Dafai walked out slowly. Before he could climb the steps, he reached out to support Gongchen, moved his fat body up the steps, and stood behind Gongchen. Everyone bowed and said, "I have met Master Yuan!"

Fatty Zhang nodded, held the desk with both hands and looked at everyone, sighed and chanted in a loud voice: "Why is it raining heavily in the sky? The Dragon King of the East China Sea is in tears. The old dragon cried and returned to the palace. It just made me suffer Zhang Duo!"

"Hon..." Li Jing, who was standing next to Ye Xiaotian, closed his mouth tightly, and the laughter that rushed out of his mouth was held tightly by him, and he turned into a muffled groan.

This is the first time Ye Xiaotian participated in an event like the big yamen hosted by Mr. Zhang. He did not understand the style of the yamen Zhang's yamen, so he was stunned: "What's the situation? As soon as he appeared, he would first make a final poem. Could it be that the yamen Zhang would start to tell the story next?"

But after seeing that the prefect Zhang finished reciting this good poem that was not inferior to that of "The iron tree does not bloom for a thousand years", he slowly sat down and sighed: "The underground river in this city was dug during the reign of Emperor Shenzong of Song Dynasty. It has been more than 500 years since it has not been dredged for a long time. Now it is flooded after heavy rain. I think it should be dredged. Do you guys think?"

Ye Xiaotian said in his heart: "The undercut channel built during the Song Dynasty has been used for more than 500 years, and it is still useful now. It is already amazing. Such a river should have been cleared from blood stasis. Even if it accumulates an inch a year, after more than 500 years, what will the river be blocked like?"

All the officials remained silent. Although the official system here is the same as that in the Central Plains, these officials are all tribal leaders of all sizes, and they are financially responsible for their own profits and losses. They want to repair the river channel? It’s a good thing, but who is responsible for this money? Therefore, no one wants to be the one who stands out.

Fatty Zhang coughed and said, "The cost of dredging the river is of course due to our government. Farmers' seedlings!"

The servant of the Husband and the Ministry of Housing and Seedling immediately stepped forward and stood with his head down. Fatty Zhang said, "Please calculate how much silver is needed to dredge the river channel of the whole city and how much labor is needed."

The man slyly calculated for a long time and bowed, "Return to the prefect, 200 taels of taxes can be used as the cost of clearing blood stasis and dredging. In addition, the repair of the river channel cannot be carried out at the same time, otherwise all roads will be difficult to move, which will inevitably cause various inconveniences. If the blood stasis is cleared one by one, three hundred people will be required for each section of the river. In this way, there will be no need to make a big move and damage the people's strength."

When Fatty Zhang heard that the number of 200 taels was still within the range he could accept, he generously said: "Since that's the case, the engineering department official..."

Before the engineering department could read his name, the official of the Engineering Department left the list and said, "Prince, many places of the city wall in Xicheng have collapsed, and our staff are working hard to repair it. In addition, the granary in the north of the city is also under construction, and the water conservancy project in Banpo Town outside the north city is also underway. If you really can't get the effective staff out, you will be in charge of the dredging of blood stasis."

When Fatty Zhang heard this, he found that the granary was built for their Zhang family and could not be delayed. Sixty percent of the land in Banpo Town was owned by his Zhang family, and of course the water conservancy projects there could not be affected. The officials of the engineering department could never be transferred.

Fatty Zhang hesitated to look at everyone, and everyone immediately lowered their heads to avoid it. Zhang Duo couldn't help but look angry. Yu Junting sat on his head, glanced at Ye Xiaotian, who had only two ears in his arms, couldn't help but smile and said, "Master, why not leave this to Ye Tuan to do it!"
