"Governance of the waters?"
Chen Luo sat in the flower hall of Anguo Gong's mansion, listening to Hai Rui's report, frowning. "What kind of thing is this? Why doesn't this person know about the prejudice?"
Hai Rui also had a sad face, and explained, "Back to Zhuguo, the authority over the waters was originally unknown to the lower officials. After the teacher's guidance, the root cause was found in the records of Chunqiu Hall."
"This statement comes from "The Rivers and Rivers in the World" written by the Ren Dynasty." Chen Luo was stunned, Ren Dynasty?
That's long enough.
As the seed of a famous official, Hai Rui naturally would not miss anything. When he came to Chen Luo to report the matter, he had already prepared all the information.
Hai Rui handed Chen Luo a jade slip and said, "This is the original text of "The Rivers and Rivers in the World" that Xiaguan found in the Spring and Autumn Hall. Please take a look at Zhu Guo."
Chen Luo took the jade slip, his consciousness swept away, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
"The world is not the world of the human race, and the human race should live in it for a while, think of the good, not the evil. Today, there are rivers, rivers, lakes, and seas in the world, created by the heaven and the way of nature, and non-humans can live in it. Show me the way of tolerance of the human race, and make good friends sincerely.”
"The human race lives on land, and the water race lives on the water. Why? The way of heaven is permanent, and this is a move that follows the heaven."
"And when the Shenzhou is set, the monsters will go south, and there may be a day for a counterattack. The Shenzhou river network is vertical and horizontal, and the waters are used as a barrier for my human race to resist the monsters. Isn't it because my human race has more than one million troops?"
"Measure the waters of Shenzhou and form an alliance of the water tribes." 1 "This is a strategy that will benefit all without harm. I beg you to think carefully." "Humph!" Chen Luo snorted coldly and put down the jade slip.
What a "the world is not a human race, the human race will temporarily live in it!" What a "measure the waters of Shenzhou, and form an alliance of the water races"!
What a well-known public speaking, this kind of tone made Chen Luo disgusted after ten thousand years. Is this Shenzhou Continent directly given to the human race by the Tao of Heaven?
This is what the ancestors of the human race were ragged and killed inch by inch! An inch of rivers and mountains, an inch of blood, life and death meet.
The mountain is sad and the heroic spirit is crying at night, and the water is dyed with blue blood and the river is red! Are you telling me to stay temporarily?
Pooh!
It has been my human race since ancient times!
On the issue of race, you can be rational, but never neutral!
Although Shenzhou is big, no one is superfluous! Are the water humans uninhabitable?
I put it there, planting lotus flowers, digging water chestnuts, I am happy! If it is not livable today, what if it becomes livable tomorrow?
Seeing that Chen Luo's face was not worried, Hai Rui explained again (gong) and explained (huo), "It is no longer possible to know who wrote this memorial, but the court did not accept it at that time."
"But according to the essays of Chunqiutang, at the end of the dynasty, there was a crocodile dragon water clan, who took advantage of the holy war between Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, and stole a large lake. At first, it was said to have offended the Yuanhai dragon clan, and they temporarily escaped and rented a house. here."
"Later, he directly bribed the local officials and bought the Great Lake as a forest, and has since settled in the lake."
"This is a move for the aquariums to follow."
"For this matter, there are voices of opposition within the human race, but they are always suppressed by the ritual saints."
"They thought, "The Master said, it is great to have a friend from afar." "Suitable for grass.
"The previous dynasty was shattered, and the northern barbarians invaded. In order to strengthen their strength, the human races in various places signed cooperation contracts with the local water races to defend against the barbarians. From that moment on, the authority of the waters was officially proposed."
Listening to Hai Rui's detailed description of the ins and outs of the matter, Chen Luo nodded lightly. "Having said so much, what exactly is the governance of the waters?" Chen Luo asked.
"Huizhu Kingdom, the so-called water governance power refers to any rivers, lakes and seas of a certain scale, and the water surface is less than three feet. It is the territory of the water tribe, not the territory of the Great Xuan.
"Autonomy of the Aquarium!" Gan!
Chen Luo's eyes flashed with murderous intent. This t is still a colony!
"After Daxuan established his dynasty, no one cares?" Chen Luo calmed down a little and asked. This is not reasonable.
Not to mention the several emperors who founded the dynasty in Daxuan, just say that his teacher Bo Lin Huang and that reckless Emperor Wu, with their personalities, should not allow such existences!
What else is going on here?
Hai Rui hesitated for a moment, then said, "Some officials in this dynasty do not have permission to view them. But if they object, there are indeed people who object, and they do it very well."
Chen Luo was slightly startled, and after searching his mind, he seemed to have thought of something, and said, "Saint Han?" Hai Rui nodded, "It is Mr. Changli, the head of the sanctuary."
"When Mr. Changli was not consecrated, he was the official of Yuzhou and the shepherd of Yuzhou."
"At that time, there was a big river in Yuzhou, and crocodiles and dragons often appeared in the river, killing the people on the shore." "Mr. Changli handwritten "Crocodile Sacrifice" and erected a monument in Zhenjiang to relieve the crocodile!"
Chen Luo was lost in thought, his fingers tapped on the table rhythmically, and after a while, he said to Hai Rui, "This matter is originally
understand each other. "
"The truth will deal with it."
"You go back to the Metropolitan Court to hand over the work of this inspection."
Hai Rui nodded and was about to leave. Chen Luo thought of something and said, "What about the woman's letter of death? Leave it to me."
Hearing this, Hai Rui quickly took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Chen Luo.
Seeing Hai Rui's behavior, Chen Luo also smiled, "You carry it close to your body, but you don't take the initiative to give it to me... What if I don't ask you for it?"
Hai Rui said sternly, "Then the official will return to Sanquan County after handing over the work, and open the case again in the name of the Supreme Court.
"Trial the villagers first, then the water demon!"
A strange look flashed in Chen Luo's eyes, and he said, "Are you afraid that I won't suffer from this case?"
Hai Rui's expression remained unchanged, and he replied, "The existence of governance over the waters must have its own inner story. The pros and cons of the exchanges between the human race and the water race are issues that Zhuguo considers, and Rui did not dare to embarrass Zhuguo. Rui has his own responsibilities. If there is injustice, he will sue, and if he has a case, he will investigate!"
Chen Luo looked at Hai Rui. Yes, it was the Hai Gang Peak in his mind! "Let's go back."
"I'm still here with Chen Luo, so I won't let you all sacrifice for your duty." Hai Rui respectfully bowed to Chen Luo and turned to leave.
Chen Luo spread out the paper and glanced at the content on it. His face, which had just been eased by Hai Rui, became gloomy again.
The content of the paper is not complicated. It says that there is a water king on the Jiami River, and he eats ten babies every year, so as to bless the fishing village where the woman lives a year with a good harvest and a stable boat.
Seeing this, Chen Luo's expression was quite normal, after all, Hai Rui had told him this. But the content further down made Chen Luo unable to hold back.
This paper explains the origin of the ten babies every year. It's abducted!
Every year, this fishing village called "Hongdong" will set aside a part of the money to buy and sell babies, and then use them as sacrifices to give to the water king in the river.
But this year, the trafficker didn't get enough young children. This woman was harassed by the village chief's son and kicked the opponent's lifeblood in self-defense. The village chief held a grudge, and this time she put her child on the list of sacrifices.
After her husband came back, he was going to save his child, so he never came back. "Poor, pathetic, hateful!"
Chen Luo sighed and put away the paper.
"Dragon Slaying Terrace?" Since the target was the Shui tribe, Chen Luo naturally thought of the "Dragon Slaying Terrace" established by Goulian Tiandao when he just wrote "Journey to the West", but then shook his head again.
First of all, although the Dragon Slashing Platform is an externalization of the rules of heaven, it is similar to Qingtian Sanguo, and it is more inclined to torture tools rather than heavenly robbery.
Sanglongtai does not automatically fall into catastrophe when it detects that there are creatures that violate the rules, but requires the human race to capture the opponent and bring it to justice, and then execute it under the guillotine.
Secondly, Dragon Dragon Terrace is essentially a supplement to the rules that were born in response to Yuanhai, targeting the "family protected by the heavenly way". The "protection" here is equivalent to the "wild card" issued by Heaven, referring to non-Heavenly beings, such as dragons. Once a dragon has been sentenced to death by a human, Dragon Slasher can remotely remove it from the "Heavenly Way Wild Card List", which does not require capturing the opponent.
However, as long as the inland water demons are not directly related to the dragon family, or have completed the "Dragon Transformation Art" and cultivated the "true dragon body", they are still heavenly beings, born as part of the heavens, and do not need additional support.
So this matter can't be solved with the Dragon Platform.
Chen Luo pondered for a moment, then called out, "Old Mastiff!"
Mastiff Lingling came at the first time and asked, "What is your command?"
"Go to the main hall and send a message to Prime Minister Han, saying that I will visit Prime Minister Han at night!" "Yes!" Mastiff Lingling nodded and arranged to go.
----
In the evening, Chen Luo's carriage stopped at the entrance of Han Qingzhu's mansion.
At this moment, the central door of the mansion opened, and Han Yunge, the daughter of Han Qingzhu, and a few old servants had already been waiting at the door. Seeing Chen Luo's carriage, she hurried forward and said, "Han Yunge, the daughter of the people, has seen the Dharma."
Chen Luo got down from the carriage and quickly helped Han Yunge up: "Sister Yunge, don't dare to do this, you will ruin your younger brother. Han Yunge said with a smile: "The ceremony cannot be neglected."
"Well, I haven't seen you in a year, and I've grown taller."
When Chen Luo heard the words, he quickly apologized and said, "It's my younger brother's fault that I haven't come to visit my sister since I returned to Beijing."
"You have a heavy burden and you are in the country, so you don't have to worry about these small things." Han Yunge took Chen Luo to the mansion and said, "But you are old, and you need a daughter-in-law at the top to help you deal with it. These customs are good
"Ah... I know..." Chen Luo quickly changed the subject, "Is the prime minister back?"
"I came back early, I knew you were coming, I specially arranged a banquet and I'm waiting for you."
Following Han Yunge into the flower hall, he saw Han Qingzhu sitting in the flower hall. When he saw Chen Luo come in, he hummed softly, "Being a dharma sign, you put on airs."
"If you want to come, come here, just like your own home, and you have to leave a post." "Did you deliberately ask your sister Yunge to greet you at the door?"
Before Chen Luo could speak, Han Yunge said first, "Xiao Luo's every move is being watched by countless people, how can she be as free as before!"
After finishing speaking, he said to Chen Luo: "You guys talk first, I'll let the kitchen serve you." Chen Luo nodded: "Thank you, sister."
Han Yunge patted Chen Luo on the shoulder and left the flower hall. At this time, Han Qingzhu said, "Come and sit."
"Since I've made a pilgrimage, there must be something important to discuss. So Yun Ge didn't arrange for a servant to serve her, and she wanted to drink tea by herself."
Chen Luo nodded, walked to the table and sat down.
"What's the matter?" Han Qingzhu asked straight to the point.
Chen Luo didn't talk nonsense, he took out the envelope from his sleeve and handed it to Han Qingzhu.
Han Qingzhu took the paper, looked at it carefully, frowned slightly, then put down the paper, looked at Chen Luo, and asked, "Are you angry?"
Chen Luo nodded.
"I learned a new word today, called water governance!"
"Thanks to Hai Rui's tossing around in the Spring and Autumn Hall, I only knew the ins and outs of this matter."
"Why when I took office, I checked all the powers of the minister, but I didn't see this statement." Han Qingzhu listened to Chen Luo's words and sighed slightly: "Because...it's not necessary...""Well ?" Chen Luo heard the words, his face changed slightly, and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Unnecessary means that there is no need to manage it, and there is no need to change it!" Han Qingzhu shook his head gently, "No matter if you don't change it, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages;
Chen Luo was taken aback for a moment, pointed at the paper and said, "Do you call this matter more pros than cons?"
"This is essentially extrajudicial power, with rivers, lakes and seas as fiefdoms, and independent independence within our Great Xuan, just like the extrajudicial privileges of the noble family, it is an existence that invades the legal power of the imperial court!"
"Is this the pros outweigh the cons?"
"Why did the quarrel start after such a short time?" Han Yunge stepped forward with a tray, arranged the dishes on the tray one by one, smiled at Chen Luo, and said, "Eat something first, and talk slowly if you have something to do."
"Hey, thank you Sister Yunge." Chen Luo nodded, and Han Yunge stayed too soon, glared at Han Qingzhu, and left the flower hall.
Han Qingzhu looked at Chen Luo and frowned, "What's the hurry, this old man will tell you in detail."
Having said that, Han Qingzhu picked up his chopsticks, took a large piece of fish, and put it in Chen Luo's bowl: "Try it, this fish tastes very fresh."
Chen Luo picked up his chopsticks and took a bite, and Han Qingzhu said, "This fish is 30 cents a pound today, and this fish has three catties, which is 90 cents. Do you know how many fish sellers receive from the fishermen? Did you come?"
"Three cents a pound!" Han Qingzhu gave the answer without waiting for Chen Luo to speak.
"Don't think too much. Fresh fish is transported from Luoshui Port to Zhongjing. To keep it fresh, you need a lot of talismans. When you arrive in Zhongjing, tax, shop rent, labor... These are all expenses."
"I know you care about people's livelihood, but do you know what three cents a catty of fish means to fishermen?" "The price of food in Luozhou is fifty-five cents a catty of weak rice."
"It means that he only needs to catch more than 10 catties a day, which is enough for a family of five to eat rice and noodles for one day." "If it exceeds 100 catties a day, he can even feed a child to school."
"In my Daxuan territory, there are countless rivers and lakes. In addition to farming, this inland fish feeds nearly a quarter of Daxuan's population!"
Chen Luo heard the words and put down his chopsticks on his face: "Is this catch given by those water monsters?" "Can't we breed it ourselves?"
Han Qingzhu chuckled and continued: "The reproduction of aquatic species far exceeds that of terrestrial creatures. One-time ovulation, as many as 100 million. And the survival rate of water demon eggs is much higher than that of ordinary fish, which is enough to support both sides of the strait. fisherman."
"The eggs of water demons, among those who can become demons, take one out of ten million, or even one in a million, and the rest can be captured by our human race. The water race has no objection to this."
"In addition, fish, shrimp and crabs hatched from the eggs of water demons contain a trace of blood power in their flesh, which is eaten by the human race for a long time.
, also has the effect of improving the body. "
"Since the establishment of the tribe, the lifespan and qi and blood of the human race have shown an upward trend, and diet is the main reason."
Chen Luo pondered for a moment and said, "So, the human race agrees and even supports the water race to thrive in the Great Xuan territory... Han Qingzhu nodded, took another bite of the dish, and said, "This is just one of them."
"Second, if you look closely at the history of the human race, you will find that there are very few famines." "There is a credit for the water race."
"The so-called famines are mainly of two kinds, one is water and the other is drought."
"My Confucian sect naturally has the magical power of "calling the wind and summoning the rain", as well as the secret technique of "returning a hundred rivers to the sea", and even in the imperial court there is an official technique of "turning the clouds and covering the rain"! "
"It's worry-free against the enemy, but when it is used for people's livelihood, it consumes a lot of spells for the caster. As for the precision and breadth, except for a very small number of great powers, the rest cannot be compared with the water-controlling talent of the Aqua clan."
"It takes a lot of luck to perform official skills."
"Therefore, it is the most cost-effective and most effective way to let the water clan help and take care of one side!" "So the imperial court has given these water monsters a monarch reward, called Suijun."
Having said that, Han Qingzhu picked up the paper and said, "At first glance, it is true that people and gods are angry." "Water demons are different. Some are gentle, while others are cruel."
"Some of them eat people and kill people like this paper says; some ask to sacrifice young girls every year for their pleasure."
"But from the perspective of the entire Daxuan, the performance of the water monsters is generally good. Compared with the number of deaths in these cases and the effect of the water monsters on the human race, it seems that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."
"You know, even in such cases, most of them are agreements reached between the local people and the water demon clan." Han Qingzhu tapped the paper with his hand, "If this time the sacrifice is not for this woman's child, is she the same? Don't tell me?"
"Or, if this village doesn't buy abducted and sold babies as sacrifices, but acquiesce to its own children, wouldn't it also not sue?"
: "You are going to examine the Shui clan. I am afraid that the first person who disagrees is not the Shui clan, but the fishermen!"
"Those who harmed them gave benefits, so long as they didn't harm themselves; those who helped them cut off all the channels to gain benefits, and they felt that you were harming them."
"After all, it's a bad debt." "So, don't care, don't change it, don't mention it." Listening to Han Qingzhu's words, Chen Luo was silent. This time there was silence for half an hour.
Chen Luo repeated Han Qingzhu's words over and over again in his mind These words sounded reasonable, but Chen Luo always felt that something was wrong.
Han Qingzhu was not in a hurry, he ate the food slowly, but his eyes fell on the paper from time to time. Finally, Chen Luo raised his head and his eyes recovered.
"wrong!"
"Han Xiang, you are wrong!"
"This pros and cons analysis is problematic!"
Chen Luo's eyes were bright, and he said, "Whether it's fishing or spreading clouds and rain, you only see the favorable side of the aquarium for my human race, but isn't my human race good for them?"
"The rivers, lakes and seas belong to my human race!" "My human race gave them a place to live!" "They should provide the catch!" "There is no reason to rent a house and not pay rent!" Has it become a favor?"
"As for the clouds and rain...we can give them official positions and let them enjoy their salary!" "This is by no means an umbrella to cover their crimes!"
Chen Luo stood up: "Right now, this is not the authority of the waters! What is given to them is the sovereignty of the waters!" "They can govern themselves, but they must be under the jurisdiction of the Daxuan court!"
"It can only be relative autonomy, not absolute autonomy!"
Hearing Chen Luo's words, Han Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly slapped his chopsticks on the table. "Yup!"
"Fuck, I've been brainwashed by those ethical people!"
"Boy, what are you going to do?"
Chen Luo looked at the piece of paper and said solemnly: "The world's water clan, it's time for them to change their rules."
