Li Gang stared straight ahead, how much he was looking forward to our figures appearing again! Li Gang was extremely excited, he excitedly jumped up and down, and happily shouted out: "That's great! Great! My lord and the rest are all right! This is great! " Hot tears of joy flowed down his face.

We were like a group of watermen, the water flowing down our bodies. We spit out the water that had swallowed us and poured into our mouths, wiping our eyes with our hands. I shouted, "Brothers! Did you see that? Hong Mo was not scary! We can defeat him! " Right! "Yes!" The crowd shouted in reply. So we continued to struggle tenaciously against the tempestuous waves.

He looked at me and was worried, "My lord, it's really hard for you to smile and even encourage your morale in such an environment!" My lord! Sigh! Tell them to hurry up and build the riverbank so that the Lord and the rest can come up! " As Li Gang thought of this, he immediately turned around and ordered the people who had snatched the riverbank, "I will give you all a death command! You must quickly secure the river bank! Can't stop! Speed up! Grab the riverbank! If anyone dares to be negligent, I'll kill them! He had to be fast! "Don't dilly-dally any longer!"

The people who robbed the embankment were moved by the sight of our fearless spirit blocking the embankment, and the people who had just given the order to kill us. They were doing their best to secure the embankment.

I asked Chen Zhi: "I wonder if big brother is safe?" When I asked this, Chen Zhi could not help but lower his head in grief and dejectedly said, "In this kind of environment, if Big Brother wants to come here alone, he can be fierce … …" Wisdom could not continue. Hearing that, I felt extremely uncomfortable, I stared blankly into the distance, hoping for Li Xiong to appear.

My eyes stared straight ahead, hoping that Li Xiong would appear. I saw what I wanted to see, and my face bloomed like a flower. I shouted, "Big brother!" Zhi, Zhang Tie looked towards the direction that I pointed. He saw Xiong Zheng lying on top of a thick tree branch and he was trying his best to swim towards us. Iron said, "Big Brother! You have to hold on! Third brother is here to save you! "

Just then, a person jumped into the water. He quickly swam towards and turned his head to me and said, "Let me go and save General Li Xiong!" Seeing this, I shouted, "Just now! "You have to be careful!" "Hm!" He just answered and swam straight to Xiong without looking back.

Li Gang swam to Xiong's side and just as he was about to speak loudly to him, "General Li Xiong, quickly follow me! Let's swim back together! " Tam gasped, "Yes!" Having just seen Xiong like this, he knew that Xiong had just battled against the flood, so he was already feeling a little exhausted. His energy was already enough to help Xiong swim to a safe place.

Thus, the two of them swam towards the river bank using the thick trees as paddles. Because they were against the current, the flood kept trying to pull them back. After all, it was already a miracle that he could survive after battling against wave after wave of torrential waves! "It's a pity I can't save that soldier! "Sigh!" Li Gang said, "General, you have done well enough! Under such circumstances, it was impossible to save him! General, you've done your best! Don't blame yourself anymore! " Xiong sighed helplessly. "Sigh!"

When he saw Xiong Xiong gasping for breath, he couldn't help but say, "General Li, sit on the tree and let me swim back!" Xiong smiled at him and said, "Don't worry! I won't be knocked down that easily! I am the most powerful general in our army! Go! We'll definitely be able to return safely! " He smiled and nodded.

As they were talking, the water kept pushing them back, and Tung said, "Gang-gong! He began using his strength! "Even if we have to go against the current, we must return safely!" "Hm!" The two men struggled to swim to the shore.

A huge wave struck Xiong and Gang's bodies. Just as they were supporting themselves and looking at Xiong and the trees, Xiong and the others who were nowhere to be seen exclaimed out loud, "General Li Xiong! Where are you? Where are you? " No one replied him. After getting even more anxious, he shouted loudly, "General Li Xiong, where are you? Hurry up and answer me! "

On the other side of the trees, blisters appeared on the surface of the water, staring fixedly at them. "A person came out of the water, shaking his head and tossing his hair, causing drops of water to splash everywhere." General Li Xiong! Great! It's really good that you're fine! " He smiled and said, "Let's swim to the shore! Gone! " Thus, Xiong and Gang swam to the shore with the help of the thick tree trunk. They were rescued by the soldiers who had been waiting on the shore for a long time.

Zhang Yan who was on the shore said to the soldiers: "Quick! Throw the rope down! "Get our lord and the others up here!" The soldier dropped the rope at the command. Zhang Yan shouted loudly, "Come up quickly! The flood levee was done! Hurry up and come up! "Grab the rope and come up!" We clung to the rope until we were pulled up the embankment.

The flood dam was reinforced and another waterway dug to clear the current, so the flood could only take a detour. For this reason, the towns of the people that the flood was trying to invade were spared.

Because they had made preparations beforehand, all parts of the Jiao Prefecture had their flood embankments renovated and the work on flood control was done very well. Therefore, the losses suffered by the Jiao Prefecture were reduced to the lowest. As for forces like Zhang Jiao and the others who did not listen to me, because of the flood, they became extremely anxious, and their powers suffered a certain degree of damage.

The flood had subsided, but what was left for people was endless pain and loss. The most abominable thing was how many innocent lives that flood demon had taken! This was the repulsive Hong Mo! The incomparably evil Hong Mo!

I looked out over the country and saw that the water had not yet receded, the crops were still in the water, and some of the houses and trees were still entangled in the water. The water was still dim under the rays of the sun, and gradually receded into the lower reaches of the earth. People on the public road are using their faces, broom, etc., to clean up the water flow to both sides of the road to make sure the road is clear and the vehicles that carry relief supplies pass by quickly.

Higher crops, such as corn, were being harvested to minimize losses, and people were constantly busy clearing the mud from the fields. Many of the crops that had been planted on the low ground had died due to long periods of immersion in water, while others were still in the water.

My soldiers and I were helping the victims to build a simple wooden shed to keep the victims alive for the time being. and to ensure their needs in life. The most important thing was to prevent the price of the affected areas from skyrocketing, so as to stabilize the situation in the affected areas and prevent any unforeseen events from occurring.

I sighed and said, "Although the flood has receded! But many of the people's homes were destroyed by the flood. What is important now is to help the people in our country to rebuild their homes as soon as possible! " Toshiyuki agreed: "This is indeed a top priority! And he had to drive the crops! It is also very important to make the people produce more food! "If we do not rush them, we will be out of food for a year!" I nodded repeatedly and said, "We should definitely take good care of these two aspects! We have to do it immediately! "

"My lord, I believe that 90 percent of our energy should be devoted to helping the people to resume production, and ten percent of our energy should be devoted to military service, military training, taxation, and so on." I naturally agree with the positive view: "Zi Hong is right! Anyway, Zhang Jiao doesn't have the ability to attack us anymore! We are concentrating on the internal affairs! so that we can get rich countries fast. "

As he said, "To fight in the army and to live in the world, we cannot do without food. Agriculture should be our main focus! The farming system had to be carried out, so that when the army produced food, it could collect less food from the population and reduce the burden on them. Tax matters should not be too much, cannot reach the degree of injury to the people, as long as it is appropriate. We also need to make sure that people everywhere find ways to increase their production. In our government, we have to focus on saving money and fighting waste, especially on the prohibition of embezzlement. There is also a sound incentive system to reward the heroes in the production process. Conducting a production competition to let the entire population know who produces the most and who can reap the greatest economic benefits. "Propagate those producing heroes in our territory and make the people think of me as a positive producer." Hm! Zi Hong, your suggestions are really too good! "Great!" I nodded approvingly and looked at it.

As he said: "[Note 1] Please do the same as the wartime martingale. That is, if the people have more than two men in a family, but do not separate, they must double their taxes. Those who have rendered meritorious service in the war with the enemy shall each receive the title of Lord Lu according to the size of the meritorious service. If a person fights over a private matter, he shall be punished according to the seriousness of the action. Those who work hard for agricultural production and obtain grain and rich production of cloth in the cultivated land shall be exempted from the duties or taxes imposed on them by the administrative authorities or the tax authorities. Those who were lazy and poor would be thrown into the government as servants. "Those with military merits will have glory and honor, shining down on their ancestors; those who do not have military merits, no matter how rich they are, it is not a glorious matter!"

"All of us, the people of the big men, have the idea that more children is more than good. We can encourage people to say how many children a couple has given birth to, and how much the authorities will reward them with every month or every year. With a larger population, it would be of great use in promoting economic development as well as the availability of troops! I believe that once such a measure is put into effect, we will definitely achieve the goal of being rich and powerful! "

When I heard this, I was very happy and said, "I've accepted all of this from Zi Hong! Do it like this! This was truly amazing! "Haha!" When everyone heard this, they stared intently at him. They felt that he really wasn't a simple person.

Wisdom spoke up: "But, my lord, think about it. This way our finances will be stretched! I'm afraid we don't have that much money to go through with it! "My lord, you also said not to raise taxes. What can be done to increase revenue financially?" Wisdom's words made me frown.
