Chapter 6 Under the Drought

Therefore, the three realms of Buddhist desire realm, form realm, and formless realm, are all gods and immortals. After all, the noble gods and immortals are still rolling in this realm of form and cannot be transcended. Only I, a true immortal in Taoism, can break the void, break the material cage, and the so-called harmony with Tao is true!"

Wang Wenqing also smiled and said, "Don't look at the Buddhist teachings. The sky is full of flowers, the sands of the Ganges River is numerous, countless Buddhas, and countless Buddhas are all. In fact, most of those Buddhas are gods and cannot be transcended."

Wen Fei thought to himself what after he was so detached? It is really impossible to ask this question. After all, they naturally would not know whether to ask Lin Lingsu and others. This kind of thing is like a person who knows the warmth and coldness of water. If he doesn't have that state, he will walk by himself, so he will naturally be unable to say what he can't think of.

With this incident, several people were full of confidence and discussed how to preach and consolidate the teachings of Shenxiao. Although Zhao Ji had ordered the Taoist Temple in the world to send people to Shangfu's house to learn the teachings of Shenxiao again. However, the great sects in the world were not very willing to buy it, and they have not sent many people to this day. Even the Taoist officials in Tokyo, even the Taoist guests raised by the emperor, and the guys who are known as the Golden Gate Feather Guests, are still much more unwilling to accept it.

So don’t look at it. Wen Fei looks majestic now, but his foundation is not very solid. According to Wen Fei, he wants to build a Huangpu of the Shenxiao Sect and cultivate talents by himself. This is the true inheritance believer of the Shenxiao Sect.

However, if you have been a tree for ten years and a hundred years, you can't be impatient for such things.

There is also a need to establish a Taoist organization. The major sects were originally different from each other and were a mess. Only after the Quanzhen Sect was born and learned the Buddhist organizational methods could they prosper. These are the issues they need to study, and Wen Fei had a greater say in these matters.

Nothing else, Wen Fei has thousands of years of experience in later generations. His management level was much higher than that now. Not to mention this, who asked Wen Fei to come with a support team?

The more you go west, you can see that the water in the canal becomes less. When the boat was walking in the Yellow River, you didn’t feel that after leaving the Yellow River and going north to the east of the Tongji Canal, you saw that the water in the canal became much shallower. You could see the watermark on both river embankments. The river surface dropped by two or three meters.

Especially when we approach Jiezhou, we can see the cracks on both sides of the canal. It is almost time for spring plowing, but no one is working in the ground.

Wen Feiqi said: "Are these local people so lazy? The land is so dry and they don't know how to fight against floods and disaster relief. What should I do when spring plowing in a few days?"

Chen Niwan sighed and said, "Don't you know? The water in this canal is related to the imperial court's fortune. However, the people are not allowed to take water privately."

Wen Fei said with a whistle, and then Chen Niwan said, "So the people are the most miserable. This is still on the edge of the canal, which is better. If there is at least water to eat, if it is far away from the canal, then..." As he said that, Chen Niwan kept shaking his head, and he had the most knowledge.

Wen Fei asked: "The people's fields are right by the canal. Is it not allowed to take water to irrigate crops?"

Chen Niwan shook his head and said, "If the water is abundant, those officials will turn a blind eye. But in such a drought, the government must first ensure that the canal is smooth. As for the people, if they encounter more kind-hearted people, at most they will open warehouses and release grain!"

After saying this, no one has the heart to speak when seeing the cracked fields on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

I came to Jiezhou smoothly. Local governments and officials from the Jieyan Department came out early to greet me. They were all already ten miles away.

Wen Fei naturally would not have any good feelings for these fat guys, and he was too lazy to greet them. After all, Wen Fei had the right to do whatever he wanted.

"How is Yanchi?" Wen Fei asked bluntly after waiting for the officials to come over to see each other in a mess.

Before we reached the boundary of Jiezhou, we saw drought everywhere, and we could not see any blue color. The group of officials and men were wearing umbrellas on their heads, waiting for Wen Fei to arrive.

Wen Fei felt unhappy when he saw this. He felt that these bureaucrats looked down on him and were too slow. You know, Wen Fei once saw the mayor visiting the countryside in the small town where the carriage was located. The cadres in the county and the township were baked like oil in the sun, and no one was willing to wear umbrellas.

A mere mayor, when he arrived in the Northern Song Dynasty, was at most at the level of a prefect. He was placed in Wen Fei's father's mansion, and even if he wanted to meet Wen Fei, he didn't know how many days he would have to queue up.

However, these officials from Jiezhou and the officials of Jieyan Envoy dared to hold umbrellas and had wooden boards under their feet. This made Wen Fei very upset. Oh my father was not as good as a prefect of later generations? Especially after a drought, it was already spring. After walking hundreds of miles, he saw that even wild grass and leaves were not born. I don’t know if it was because of the drought or because it was eaten by the hungry people.

The villages along the way were full of death. Occasionally, I saw the villagers and people in rags and their eyes were dull. This made Wen Fei feel uncomfortable.

The entire huge Northern Song Empire relied on such a Grand Canal excavated by Emperor Yang of Sui and repaired by all dynasties. The circulation of goods and personnel exchanges between the north and the south also relied on such a canal. It is true that the Sui Dynasty was destroyed by this river, and it has been dependent on the waves for thousands of miles.

Therefore, ensuring the smooth flow of the Grand Canal is naturally the most important thing. From a rational point of view, in order to ensure the water volume of the Grand Canal, agricultural irrigation will not use too much water sources. This is also understandable!

But when I saw hundreds of miles along the way, I don’t know that the heavenly stems were trapped, but facing the river water that could not be used, even a guy like Wen Fei, who has always been heartless, felt very angry.

Now that Wen Fei is seeing these officials with such a big style, he is naturally unhappy. Looking at them horizontally, he feels that every one of these guys is pleasing to you.

Wen Fei was on tour on behalf of the emperor, so his status was naturally extremely high. However, Wen Fei's reputation as Shangfu was basically only circulated in Tokyo and Luoyang City. The officials in these places did not know that Wen Fei was powerful. Although he was respectful, he actually didn't take it very seriously. He was just a more powerful sorcerer.
