"Everyone wants good weather and good harvests, but it's hard. Instead of relying on God, we might as well find ways to do it ourselves. We can dig more fish ponds or lakes, or widen rivers, so that we can use them when there's a water shortage. As long as there's water, there's a harvest..."
Zhang Fan was drinking tea and chatting there.
The prince of Fengxian County is actually very kind to the people, and his three sons have grown up.
Instead of letting them learn martial arts from monks, it is better to talk to them about how to solve the problem of rain shortage in Fengxian County. The Huoyan Mountain was even more water-scarce than Fengxian County back then, but in the end it still became a land of fish and rice, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, didn't it?
Isn’t it because there are rivers and water sources?
There is a lot of wasteland that can be reclaimed, the people have land to cultivate, and then the taxes on the towns will also increase.
The three princes began to kneel on the ground, full of fear of Zhang Fan, but as they listened to him speak, they couldn't help but raise their heads. They were absolutely right, but they lacked water!
There is really no water!
"We worship masters in the hope that after they leave, we can pray for rain ourselves. If it rains, the common people will not be left with nowhere to go and will not be displaced..."
The eldest prince knelt on the ground, but couldn't help but say a few words in his defense.
"Praying for rain is not the solution. Retaining the rainwater is the solution. Besides, the monks are going to the Tang Dynasty in the East. What you need to do is not to develop the monks in the city, but to open up canals and reclaim wasteland. Well, if you want freedom, you can exchange it for the corpse of the yellow lion monster..."
When Zhang Fan drank tea, he just took a few sips and didn't say anything.
As for the princes of Fengxian County, it depends on whether they can listen. If they can't listen, no matter how much you say, it will be useless. If they can listen, a few words will be enough.
When Bai Wuchang saw that Zhang Fan stopped talking, he tied up several people with ropes, and then he and the Yellow Lion Monster were responsible for sending them to another room and locking them up. Then he looked at the meat in the pot, which was still hot, and quickly ate some more.
"My Lord, are these princes stupid? They want to deal with us with only 100,000 mortal soldiers. I wonder if they don't know that 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals couldn't catch me. Are their people more powerful than the heavenly soldiers and generals?"
Hua Yueying laughed and felt that she had encountered the most ridiculous thing in the world. Bai Wuchang on the other side also sighed.
"In fact, with the Soul-Catching Mirror, let alone 100,000 soldiers, even a million soldiers would not be able to resist it. After all, they are just ordinary people. But I am worried that the power of the Soul-Catching Mirror is too strong and will damage the souls of these ordinary people, so I have not taken action..."
When facing hundreds of thousands of soldiers, if Bai Wuchang is a cruel and vicious person, he will use the Soul-Catching Mirror to deal with those people, and the effect will be very good.
However, those people will suffer heavy casualties, and if things go wrong, all 100,000 soldiers will be killed, and the loss to Fengxian County will be extremely heavy.
All they did to capture the princes and force back the soldiers was to use the Three Flames of Fire, not his Soul-Catching Mirror.
"Well, tea, tea..."
Zhang Fan smiled and nodded. Although he had a weapon in his hand, he was kind-hearted. This Bai Wuchang was a teachable person. Not bad, not bad!
Several people were talking and laughing in the yard, and the general who followed the eldest prince was almost tired to vomit blood. He sent someone to report to the prince and to report to the three princes' masters.
The three princes were captured. This is a huge event. We have to quickly ask the monks to rescue the princes.
Moreover, Lao Wang must be notified and informed of the demands made by the monsters, which is that they only want the body of the yellow lion monster in exchange for the three princes.
How important are the three princes?
What does the corpse of a monster mean?
If someone had not seen the huge and rare corpse of the monster and suggested peeling off the yellow lion skin to make a lion skin cushion for the king, who would have thought of bringing back the corpse of the yellow lion monster?
This really caused trouble.
The general crawled to Jin Chanzi and the others and told them everything about how the three princes had secretly led troops to fight the monsters.
When they heard that the three princes were captured alive after just one encounter, they shook their heads and cursed the princes, "How foolish! How foolish!"
"Those are Hades' men. Not to mention the three princes leading a hundred thousand soldiers, even if we lead a million soldiers, we may not be their match. Hades has a soul-snatching mirror that can take people's lives. A hundred thousand people are not enough for the mirror to swallow..."
Jin Chanzi sighed, feeling very helpless.
Although his scriptures can carry out magic, they are useless against the soul-calling mirror. After all, it is the treasure of Hades.
Until now, they still thought that Bai Wuchang was holding the treasure of Hades.
"Master, let me go find the Jade Emperor and then the Bodhisattva, and ask them to help us snatch the three princes and the second apprentice brother. The Hades is really too much, we can't just let her go like this..."
Sun Wukong's injuries have been controlled at this time, but the wounds have not healed yet, so he is struggling to get up and call for help.
When leaving Lingshan, the Buddha once said that if they encountered any difficulties, they could directly ask the Bodhisattva for help.
If they encounter any problems, they can also go to the Jade Emperor to complain. With the Buddha behind them, the Jade Emperor dare not be too presumptuous. However, the last time they went to heaven, the Jade Emperor was obviously trying to smooth things over and was not enthusiastic about their eastward journey to the Tang Dynasty.
But out of consideration for face and Buddha, he just didn't say it out loud.
"Wukong, your injuries haven't healed yet, you should take a rest. Let Sha Wujing go to heaven or go to the Bodhisattva to complain..."
"Forget it, Junior Brother Sha is a nobody and that Pluto is very rude. Junior Brother Sha may not be able to defeat her. My injury is not a problem! Just wait for me to come back..."
Sun Wukong was an impatient person and he ran away while he was talking.
He went to the Heavenly Palace first, but before he even got close to the South Gate of Heaven, he saw the gatekeepers shouting, "That monkey is here again..."
Those soldiers guarding the gate were deeply impressed by Sun Wukong. This monkey had just been injured in a fight with the King of Hell, and it hasn't been long since he ran to the Heavenly Palace again. What does he want to do?
Some gatekeepers stopped Sun Wukong. After all, he was not from Heaven, but from Lingshan.
"I'm going to see the Jade Emperor, let him know quickly!"
This time, Sun Wukong was a bit more polite. After all, he was defeated in the last fight with Hades, and the soldiers of Nantianmen saw it clearly. Moreover, this time he said he was complaining, but it was more of a request, asking the Jade Emperor to discipline Hades.
All of Sun Wukong was unusually polite at that time.
When Sun Wukong arrived, Wu Gang also received the news because he was in front of the Jade Emperor at that time.
"This monkey, is it endless? Is it coming again?"
The Jade Emperor was listening to music, but when he heard the news about Sun Wukong, he frowned.
