Chapter 128 People’s Heart·Water Control (4,000 words)
The first step in Feng Yun's strategy is to gain momentum and win the support of the people.
But unlike him, he started to do bad things first and the people resisted.
"Master Yun..."
Feng Yun was arranging the follow-up actions with bamboo slips in the Palace of Classics when he heard the voice of Zou Yan, a nine-year-old boy.
After the Maple Leaf Festival, Zou Yan finally found the opportunity to sneak out of the house and ran to Feng Yun.
Feng Yun looked at it with a smile.
"Master Yun, Yan was in trouble because of his father before, and now Fang is here. I hope Master Yun will forgive me."
"Are you sure you want to learn?" Feng Yun remembered that he had promised Zou Yan that if Zou Yan came to study the next day and Feng Yun wanted to study, then he would teach him. If Feng Yun didn't know it, he wouldn't say anything anymore.
Although Zou Yan was half a month late, Feng Yun agreed.
after all.
"You know, now that I am the Prime Minister of Baiyue, the people of Baiyue all have objections to me."
Control the water!
Feng Yun's water control was not done secretly, only to be exposed when he was ready.
If he wants to be sharp, he will naturally not show weakness.
His first sword now is aimed at the people of Baiyue, but it is not to kill, but to cut off the bad habits of the people, open up a new life, and guide the direction.
Blindly obeying the people is not a good thing at this time. He must cut through the mess quickly and let the people's hearts fall into his favor.
Even though the voice of flood control now arouses the voice of the Baiyue people's god of wind and river protection, he is not afraid.
After thinking about it, Feng Yun looked at Zou Yan, his small eyes full of determination.
"Master Yun is the prime minister of Baiyue, so he must have his own plans. What's more, this Feng Zeshen thing seems to me to be ridiculous."
Hunting is not allowed in Fengze land, and witch doctors will not treat people injured by Fengze. However, in Fengze area, no one dares to cultivate it, no matter how fertile the land is.
Even a nine-year-old boy like Zou Yan understands that this god has restricted Baiyue. Feng Yun's trip is a good thing, but those Baiyue people believe in Fengze and it is difficult to resolve it.
"How are Master Yun going to control the water?" Zou Yan stared with curiosity on his face.
Feng Yun just smiled and did not answer this question.
Putting away the bamboo slip of the Prime Minister's Order on the table, Feng Yun said to the outside world: "General, go find the leader of the Red Army."
"promise."
After making arrangements, Feng Yuncai said to Zou Yan: "What do you want to learn?"
Zou Yan heard the sound and hurriedly sat down.
"Master Yun." Zou Yan knew that this was the only opportunity to learn from Feng Yun, and Feng Yun, who had become the Prime Minister of Baiyue, would not give him another chance.
"I want to learn how to govern a country!"
"Fengjun can become the prime minister of Baiyue before he is even young, which shows that he has good governance and is willing to implement it!"
Governing the country?
Feng Yun was funny, but Zou Yan was smart. He knew that he would focus on running the country most of the time, so he wanted to work with him, so that he could both learn and observe.
"Okay." Feng Yun nodded, but said: "But before you learn how to govern the country, you need to read a book."
Feng Yun originally wanted to teach Zou Yan "Nuwa's Ten-month Calendar", in which the heavenly stems and earthly branches all represent the five elements of yin and yang. This is Zou Yan's Tao, but Feng Yun did not teach him his views on Tao, but let him realize it on his own. It does not affect his own theory of Yin and Yang of the Five Elements.
"What book?"
Feng Jun took out an animal skin.
"It's not a book, but an ancient calendar."
"Ancient calendar!" Zou Yan was shocked. In ancient times, it was the time of Fuxi and Nuwa, and most of everything was lost, or else it became the heritage of major countries.
Feng Yun said it so lightly and wanted to give him a look, which made Zou Yan feel flattered and became embarrassed.
"Master Yun, Yan hasn't sent you to practice yet."
Feng Yun picked up a pen and wrote the calendar on the animal skin, and what he said to Zou Yan.
He said nonchalantly: "I don't want to accept you as a disciple. I just see that you are friendly and teach you something. There is no need to treat you as a master."
"ah?"
"That's inappropriate, Master Yun..."
Feng Yun shook his head.
"I have no intention of accepting a disciple for the time being. If you tell me again, I won't teach you anything."
"...Nuo." Zou Yan's eyes were lost, but he didn't dare to say anything anymore. He could only wait quietly for Feng Yun to write the calendar.
Feng Yun was only halfway through writing when he heard hurried footsteps outside.
"Fengjun, several commanders from the Red Army have arrived." The general's voice came from outside.
Feng Yun nodded and handed the half-written calendar to Zou Yan.
"Stay aside."
"No." Zou Yan took it carefully, but did not look at it. Instead, he prepared to watch Feng Yun and find Chibu.
Soon, several people walked in from the door.
Li Yue?
There were six men and women in total, and among them was Li Yue.
At the same time, there are also Qi Bao and Qi Hu Er, the sons of the King of Baiyue.
The remaining one woman and two men are probably also after the elders of Baiyue.
"Feng Jun'an." He learned a lot of etiquette from Zou Yan's father, and these people under the Baiyue King all have some etiquette, but this is the etiquette of Qi State in the Zhou Dynasty. The trunk must be cleaned up.
As for the previous wish of King Baiyue to belong to the Zhou Dynasty, this matter will be discussed again.
"We really have to follow him..."
"Silence."
The two men behind them spoke in low voices, but there was no way they could hide their voices in the hall.
Feng Yun's eyes did not move.
The son of the King of Baiyue, Qibao seemed to be watching a good show.
But Qiu Hu and Li Yue came forward.
"Be bold!"
"You must be itchy!"
When Feng Yun saw this, he said: "Let's talk about business first."
Hearing the sound, Qiu Hu saluted Feng Yun, but Li Yue was still angry, but she would not lose Feng Yun's face.
After several people were kneeling in the hall, Feng Yun took out the Baiyue Xiangyin and the Red Tiger Talisman.
He said: "I have been appointed by the king to be the Prime Minister of Baiyue. Nowadays, water control is the priority. However, people have complaints about their livelihood. I wonder if you have been in Baiyue for many years. Do you have any insights?"
Feng Yun glanced at everyone, and the leopard looked at the Xiangyin and Red Tiger Talisman in Feng Yun's hand, and said, "Why is Lord Feng doing this? Fengze is the patron saint of the Baiyue people. Lord Feng, you better not go against everyone."
It's better to go, lest..."
"Second brother, Mr. Feng has his own reasons." Qi Hu stopped him, then looked at the tiger talisman and phase seal in Feng Yun's hand, and then bowed to Feng Yun: "Jun Feng, I must be trustworthy when I give the phase to Feng Yun.
Mr. Feng, Mr. Feng, just give your orders, we will just obey."
Li Yue, who wanted to speak, also had the same attitude. She glanced at the others. No matter whether these people really respected Feng Yun or not, the Red Tiger Talisman was in Feng Yun's hands, and they had to listen to Feng Yun.
"In that case, just listen to my arrangements."
Feng Yun said: "Please look at this picture."
Feng Yun took out a map of the Baiyue Kingdom, which was specially given to him by the King of Baiyue. In the Baiyue Kingdom, all tribal leaders have this map, but only the Baiyue King's map is much more detailed. The tribes of the surrounding countries are marked on
superior.
Feng Yun only took the southern part of Fengze.
"Qibao, you and your two commanders will go here to dig river channels and unify these creeks."
Feng Yun took out a piece of parchment, copied the river route, and then handed it to Ge Bao.
Qi Bao wanted to ask, but Feng Yun's eyes were sharp, as if there was a storm above, threatening and suppressing him, so he swallowed his words alive.
"Qihu, please take your command and lead, disperse your troops and armor, and go to the tribes as a common people to spread the news that Feng Yun wants to control the floods and will soon enter the lake to build altars and communicate with gods."
"In his voice, he also explained the benefits of Fengjun's flood control and recruited some people who supported the flood control to build an army of righteous soldiers."
"Ah?" Qi Hu was slightly stunned. How could Feng Yun be so blatant and build an army privately?
But he still had to order: "Yes."
Feng Yun took out a piece of animal skin scroll about how to control floods, how easy and abundant food can be obtained after farming, and handed it to Qiu Hu.
Anyone with knowledge can understand the benefits of water management.
Feng Yun couldn't trust these red soldiers, but he could use them to recruit righteous men who would obey his orders.
However, he still needed to write a letter to the King of Baiyue regarding this matter.
