Zhao Liben stood by the lotus pond, holding a porcelain bowl in one hand and a gold spoon in the other, picking fish food and throwing it into the blue waves.
However, there were obviously colorful swimming fish in the pond, wandering lazily among the lotus leaves, but none of them came to eat.
Occasionally, a large koi carp passed by him, but it still ignored the fish food he dropped and swam away.
Mrs. Ye stood aside holding an umbrella for the two of them, and couldn't help but remind her:
¡°Sir, even if you feed me some branfish won¡¯t eat sand.¡±
"I am feeding small fish." Zhao Liben was unmoved and continued to put the sand in the bowl into the water and said, "Isn't it said that big fish eat small fish and small fish eat sand?"
Ye just wanted to say, 'That's just a metaphor', but then she realized how could the adults not know?
Just like Taigong Jiang fishing, Taigong Zhao must also have deep meaning in feeding the fish!
Jiang Ziya was trying to catch Kaizi, oh no, to attract King Wen of Zhou.
What about adults? Attract a concubine?
Ye couldn't help feeling shy, looked up at Zhao Liben and said, "Your Excellency is worthy of being an adult. Every move he makes is unpredictable."
"What did you think of again?" Zhao Liben smiled casually.
"Your Excellency, your wisdom is as deep as the sea, how can you assume that I am a concubine?" Ye shook her head hurriedly and said in a low voice, "But are you worried about the second master?"
"Huh, what's there to worry about?" Zhao Liben sneered and said: "The traitor has my dear grandson beside him, including Xu Wenchang, Wu Cheng'en, Jin Ke, Li Zhi and dozens of people who govern students, supervise students, and stewards in Beijing are busy with their affairs. . Even though he is a pig, he can still become governor all the way."
"My lord, you really love me deeply and take great responsibility." Mrs. Ye couldn't stand listening anymore and spoke for Zhao Shouzheng: "Second Master is the top scholar, how can he compare with pigs?"
"If he wasn't a pig, how could he have allowed that vicious woman to be deceived?" Zhao Liben was so angry that he slammed the porcelain bowl on the railing.
Who the hell poured sand into the fish food bowl? Don¡¯t you know I¡¯m dazzled?
"No, we can't let that vicious woman put her hands into my territory. Go and ask your brother to invite some chief salt merchants to come over. I have something important to discuss with you!"
"Yes, sir." Mrs. Ye responded softly, thinking that sir, you are really hard-spoken and soft-hearted. You are obviously worried about the second master.

Nanshan Temple has been transformed into a flood control command post.
In the main hall, the Buddha fell down and sat on the lotus platform, gazing compassionately at the eight characters written on the screen wall, "It is the duty to protect the land and protect the homeland"!
On the side wall of the main hall, a huge map of river defense hangs.
That picture is more than one foot long and seven feet high. It was enlarged to the same scale by Xu Wei based on the Wusong River Kunshan Basin map drawn by Zheng Ruozeng.
At this time, fifty-two small pieces of paper were densely pasted on the winding Wusong River Road. On the pieces of paper, there were only four words written on them: 'Zhao Shouzheng', 'He Wenwei', 'Bai Shouli' and 'Xiong Xiasheng'. names, and the remaining forty-eight are still empty.
The Wusong River has a total length of 62 miles in Kunshan County. Zhao Shouzheng divided it into four major defense areas. He, He Xiancheng, Bai Zhubo, and Xiong Dianshi each led one defense area.
Each defense zone is divided into a dozen sections of varying numbers, and each section is assigned a section leader.
The section chief is responsible for organizing the civilian workers assigned to him to build, maintain and inspect the dams in the corresponding river section. If any danger occurs, he must report to the district chief in a timely manner. And obey the dispatch of the district chief and commander-in-chief, and provide support to brother sections when necessary.
But instead of appointing section chiefs by himself, the elder ordered each district chief to recruit and appoint himself among miscellaneous officials, scribes and gentry.
This allows people with good relationships to stick together and avoid those who have conflicts from getting together.
And the importance of each defense zone to the gentry is completely different For example, the Zheng family's estates and estates are all north of Nanshan Temple, so the defense zone of Mr. Zhao is naturally the most important.
And the Gu family's property is in Yaojiayan upstream. Even if Nanshan Temple bursts its embankment, the Gu family will not be flooded. Therefore, Gu Dadong will definitely choose Master Bai's defense area.
Only each person knows these subtle differences best, so it is best to let them freely match them so that they can fulfill their responsibilities.
After the grouping was completed, Zhao Shouzheng asked everyone to write their names.
Then he led them to offer incense to the Buddha and made an oath together in front of the Buddha.
"Never leave your post without authorization or be careless! Never shirk the blame or do anything to answer your responsibilities! Never fail to report what you know or fail to save someone in the face of death! Never disobey orders or run away from battle!"
"If you violate this oath, you will be struck by thunder from heaven, and you will fall into the Abi Hell forever after your death!"
 Before he finished speaking, a magical scene happened.
Everyone saw the Buddha¡¯s golden body shining brightly, making the entire hall shine!
"Ah, the Buddha has appeared"
He Wenwei, Gu Dadong and others all exclaimed.
Looking at the colorful lights that flickered and appeared on the top of the palace, the officials and gentry were either frightened or frightened, but they all bowed and worshiped.
Now no one dares not to take their oath seriously.
The Buddha has listened to the spiritual manifestation and has violated the oath he swore in front of the Buddha. He will really be struck by lightning from heaven and go to Avici Hell
When the vision disappeared and the hall returned to normal, Zhao Shouzheng got up with the officials and gentry. Then Mr. Zhao turned around and said to everyone seriously:
"Everyone, Buddha is compassionate and cannot bear to see us Kunshan people continue to suffer. With Buddha's blessing this time, we will definitely be able to guard the river embankment! We can protect our home!"
"People are on the embankment, people on the embankment are dead!" The excited gentry shouted a more radical slogan than Mr. Zhao.
"People are on the embankment, and if the embankment is dead, everyone is dead!" Everyone shouted.
The atmosphere in the hall immediately changed.
Everyone looked at the Jiangfang map with their names written on it, and suddenly felt a sense of sacredness and responsibility closely connected with the river embankment.
Excited, Mr. Gu immediately announced that he would donate 300 shi of food for working food!
Zheng Ruozeng also followed suit and announced that he would donate 200 stones for disaster relief.
Dai Gao, the old man of the Dai family, also donated two hundred stones. The other two families, the Mao family and the Zhou family, also pledged two hundred shi.
This is destined to be written into the county annals, and a monument will probably be erected as a biography. How can you live behind others?
What¡¯s more, pledging donations in front of the Buddha will bring great merit and blessings.
The other eighteen families also donated generously, one hundred for you and fifty for me.
Each family together donated a total of 2,030 shi of food. Although it is still a drop in the bucket, I have tried my best to some extent.
¡°My attitude is completely different from the stingy attitude I used to have before.
The Buddha looked at everything in front of him with a smile.
??~~
When everyone came out of Nanshan Temple, they were all in high spirits. They shouted loudly to their followers and rushed to their respective defense areas.
He Wenwei and Bai Shouli walked down the embankment side by side.
As he walked, Prime Minister He County looked back at the dilapidated Nanshan Temple.
As a result, when he was about to get off the embankment, he accidentally slipped and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Bai Shouli supported him.
"Damn, that's really evil." He Wenwei stood firm and said with a wry smile on his face: "Just bring one or two hundred good people to take office. Even the Buddha gave him control."
"Yes, the backstage of Wenquxing is really strong. I originally thought that they drove us out of the county to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Alas, I really think too highly of myself." Master Bai also thought deeply and said: "In other people's eyes, , what kind of tigers are we? We are not even as good as a kitten."
"I'm convinced, I'm really convinced." He Xiancheng gave up his unnecessary self-esteem and completely accepted his fate: "The eldest master is a god descending to earth, what can we ordinary people do to fight with others?"
