(Today I was a book friend who was sprayed with a long speech. I originally wanted to say a few words, but suddenly I found that there was nothing to say. This book friend probably read all the books of the Gunner. He criticized the Gunner for not improving. He was a little wronged. In fact, he still had some progress. He just couldn't meet everyone's expectations. His personal talent is limited, and his ability is just that little. You can't expect me to reach the sky in one step. The Gunner couldn't write the heroine well. Since the horse stepped on the world, the heroine has been criticized by others, which made me feel ashamed. This book has started again. This book is probably trying to stand up for Xia He! I feel very distressed, but I can't say more. Let's end it with a passage from this book friend: two ignorant ones.

Young people are happy to young people, noisy to adulthood, understanding each other to middle age, respect each other until old age, supporting each other to the end. Looking back, although it is plain, it is safe and precious. Friendship, love, and family affection are tightly transformed. It is enough to get to know each other, love each other, stay together, and accompany each other. When you look back, you are upright and clear in your life, love lasts for a long time, and you are clean and pure in your heart, so real love can only be once, not everyone can have it. Ahhh, it is so well written. I want to memorize this book review and remind myself at all times. Suddenly I feel that this book friend is more suitable for writing novels than me. In shame, I must try my best to recharge myself and improve myself in the future so that I can write better novels for everyone. Hold my fists as a courtesy.)

Hou Zhen, the patriarch of the major clan of Dezhou, which was second only to the Zhu clan, has now become the county magistrate of Wuyi County.

The Hou clan is the fastest-changing family among the large families who were forced to migrate to Dezhou. During the migration, their performance had already made Li Ze look at him with admiration. After arriving in Wuyi, they played a huge role in helping to resettle the migrant people.

If you give, you will naturally get rewards.

The magistrate of Wuyi County was the reward Li Ze gave to the Hou clan. Hou Zhen's eldest son Hou Fangyu became a treasury chief of the personal Wei Yi of Li Ze after the expansion of Li Ze.

Of course, Li Ze did not give such an important position simply for rewards. Firstly, Hou Zhen himself served as a chief minister in Dezhou and had rich experience in governing. Secondly, as a way to win over Dezhou immigrants, using this Dezhou man as the magistrate of Wuyi County can better calm people's hearts and at the same time, he can also balance the distribution of his own forces.

Now, the number of immigrants in Texas has surpassed the locals in Xindu Wuyi, but the governments, military and other violent organs in these two places are all locals. There will be no problems in a short period of time, but over time, confrontation will naturally occur.

So Li Ze gave Hou Zhen the position of county magistrate in Wuyi.

Li Ze has always been familiar with such means of balancing subordinate forces.

Yang Kaixin's wish came true and devoted all his body and mind to the construction of Yixing Society. For him, his power was not small, but expanded several times. Yixing Society now has a separate budget and a separate organizational structure, and its power is rapidly spreading towards Xindu and Shiyi.

Yang Kai clearly saw that with the development of Li Ze's future power, Yixing Society will inevitably spread outward, and even the power of Yixing Society will be ahead of the army.

Yang Kai was already planning his next expansion plan to move towards Yizhou, Henghai and other places in his mind.

He once made an oral report to Li Ze about this plan, and also received strong praise from Li Ze, which further strengthened Yang Kai's desire to make Yixing Society bigger and stronger.

"Young Master, the subordinates of Lizihe have already walked all the river sections in Wuyi County!" Hou Zhen took off his straw raincoat and handed it to the guards on one side. The bucket on his head broke a big hole, causing his hair to become wet and his face to be covered with water stains. His long beard, which was originally trimmed very beautifully, looked a little embarrassed at this time. He walked along the river section in the rain for two days, and just returned to the county government today.

"What's the situation?" Li Ze asked.

"The Wuyi County is ten miles away. There will be no problems in the renovation in spring, but the upstream is close to Xindu, which is very problematic. A large number of people have been organized to strengthen and raise the embankment." Hou Zhen glanced at Yang Kai on the side and said, "Yixing Society has made great efforts here. With their organization, everything is in order. But the straw bags are not enough."

"Organize manpower and speed up the weaving. If time goes by, use cloth bags and you must maintain supply above the embankment." Li Ze said.

"Yes." Hou Zhen continued: "It's better outside Wuyi County. The situation in the city is actually more serious. There has been flooding. Many newly built adobe houses collapsed due to soaking. So far, a total of 23 casualties have been killed or killed. In addition, large-scale diseases have begun to appear in the city."

Li Ze was shocked. The flood could still be withstood. If a plague occurs, it would be fatal. "Is the time epidemic now?" Generally speaking, the time period when the time epidemic occurs will be after the flood, the temperature rises, and the time epidemic will come into being. Now the rain is still falling, so why does it break out?

"Young Master, it's not that it's time to get an epidemic, but because of drinking raw water." Yan Jiu stood up and said, "It's raining heavily, there is not enough firewood to boil water, and some of the original water sources have been destroyed. The people in the city can only drink raw water, so they have a series of symptoms such as diarrhea, and the problem is not serious."

"Let Yixingtang prepare enough alum immediately to clean the water source. Yixing Society should vigorously promote the prevention of drinking raw water directly. Not only now, but also the focus after the rain. Yan Jiu, from now on, you must prepare to prevent the outbreak of epidemic diseases so as not to be in a hurry." Looking at the heavy rain outside, Li Ze knew that if he wanted to have enough dry firewood to boil water, he was probably delusional.

"Yes." Yan Jiu replied crisply.

"I decided to go to Xindu." Li Ze frowned and said, "That is more worrying than Wuyi. Wuyi has been preparing for it since spring, but Xindu is still in a mess and has not gotten on the right track. I will leave it to you, Magistrate Hou and Wuyi."

"Mr. Yang?" Hou Zhen looked at Yang Kai.

"Yang Kai wants to go to Xindu with me." Li Ze waved his hand and said, "Li Mi brought 500 guards to Wuyi City. If there is any urgent matter, you can discuss it with her. Tu Lichun brought the rest of the guards and Yicong and went to Xindu with me."

On the Wuyi side, the power of Yixing Society has taken root deeply. With their organization of the people, the coordinated command of the old bureaucrat Hou Zhen, and the construction of Wuyi over the past year, Li Ze firmly believes that they may have withstood this wave of floods, but Xindu is very different.

Li Ze was really worried if he didn't go to take charge of the command personally.

Li Ze, Yang Kai, Tu Lichun and others led a hundred personal guards Yicong, and rushed to Xindu in the rain. The personal guards Yicong expanded by one hundred, and now it has reached 600. The additional ones were specially selected from the Seven Great Masters and the Good Dezhou family. This time, Li Ze went on a trip, he specially brought about thirty children from Hou Fangyu and other seven Great Masters.

Li Ze was still very satisfied with these people, because Hou Zhen was the first to give up his eldest son to become Li Ze's righteous congregation. The other families did not dare to disobey the emperor. Those who came to Li Ze were all direct descendants.

As the targets of a family's focus on training, each of them can be both literary and military. If they are well trained, they will be good talents in the future. Li Ze really lacks talents now. For example, Chen Congxing, Chen Bing and Chu Sheng, etc., they are all shorter generals. If their strength increases sharply in the future, these people may not be able to bear the heavy responsibility of being alone. But these people are different. They are born into wealthy families and have received systematic training since childhood, which may be worthy of being able to be compared in the future.

Dezhou is a city of state. In the past, Wuyi was too small, so there were some good families and powerful families who were not in dealing with Li Ze. Basically, they disappeared because of Li Ze's confrontation with Li Ze. Even though they survived, they all fled from Wuyi.

Although the rain was not as heavy as yesterday, it never stopped. In the fields along the way, most of the terrain was soaked in the water, which made Li Ze feel distressed. This situation lasted for a period of time, and most of the crops would rot and naturally have no harvest.

Occasionally, I could see teams of people wearing black clothes and red scarves in the rain digging ridges to remove the water from the fields. When I saw Li Ze's horse team, they all held their fists as a tribute.

These people wearing black clothes and red scarves are the lower-level members of Yixing Society. This is also the idea that Yang Kai came up with. According to him, it is to distinguish the differences between Yixing Society members and ordinary people and increase the cohesion and sense of belonging among Yixing Society members. As long as you wear black clothes, red scarves, and iron or bamboo cards, your identity will be very different from that of ordinary people.

The official members of Yixing Society wear bronze medals, the preparatory members wear iron medals, and the candidates wear bamboo medals. The iron medals and bamboo medals have the same pattern as bronze medals, but there are no numbers. The places where numbers should have been engraved were engraved with stars. One star is the most ordinary member, two stars are equivalent to the commander of the squad, three stars are equivalent to the commander of the squad, and four stars are the commander of the squad, and four stars are the commander of the squad, and four stars are basically the same as those of the army, the squad, and there are no five stars, because when this person accumulates five stars, he can wear bronze medals and engrave numbers.

When it was getting dark, everyone crossed the boundary marker of Wuyi, stepped into the land of Xindu, and found a deserted and half-breaked house as a temporary station. Everyone barely settled down.

The only house that was not leaking rain became Li Ze's residence. Others, such as Tu Lichun and Yang Kai, could only squeeze in other houses. More righteous people could only take turns to alert and come to the house to shelter from the rain when they were resting.

The straw hat and straw raincoat have no effect at all for those who are riding on horseback. Li Ze's body is also wet. At this moment, he was roasting clothes on the fire while listening to the constant rain outside, and his heart was filled with sorrow.

Such heavy rains that lasted for several days would still cause famine even in the highly developed world of the previous life, let alone in this era.

Li Ze is not afraid of fighting with people, but fighting with the sky is indeed unable to do it. The only thing he can do is to try to reduce the impact of the disaster. He was also annoyed when he thought about it. He had just gotten so many people from Texas and had not yet fully settled down. God came like this. Could it be a punishment for his ruthless means?

I hope that this time, Henghai will still suffer natural disasters. After I finish the work here, I may be able to find something to do in Henghai.

Before leaving, he had already asked Xia He to have 100,000 guan of silver coins to prepare for the aftermath. He thought that Henghai would not be able to pay the money and would not pay the money. After a major disaster, the people lost their crops and might lose their houses to shelter from the wind and rain, and the famine would happen again. With Henghai's urinary nature, there might be riots again. In the past, I heard that there was a riot in Henghai, so I could only listen to it as a fun thing. Now it is different, and there is a lot of work to do.

In the second half of the night, the rain stopped. Li Ze was overjoyed and fell asleep by the fire. In his dream, he saw the fiery red sun hanging high in the sky, but in the early morning, the sound of raindrops hitting the roof awakened him. The beautiful scenery in the dream did not appear, but the rain fell a little heavier.

He cursed and complained about God, and the group stepped on their horses and moved forward again.

Not long after this time, he met a team of soldiers sent by Shi Zhuang to greet him. They brought an extremely bad idea. The Lizi River was about to collapse, and Shi Zhuang took all the soldiers to the dam.
