    No matter in any era, or in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad.  Those administrative bureaucrats are mostly useless and useless. They are good at shoving the blame, taking bribes and bending the law.  It is said that a few years ago, a light tube broke in the Pentagon in the United States. For such a trivial matter, multiple reports were filed, and it took several months to replace the light tube This shows that this bureaucratic style is the same at home and abroad.  On the contrary, those below who are directly responsible for technical work are mostly capable people.  Therefore, since ancient times, it does not matter if the official in this yamen is a nerd who has just passed the imperial examination and has no political experience.  Anyway, there are so many petty officials, masters, yamen servants and the like below, which can ensure that the entire yamen continues to operate according to inertia Just like the old Americans, there are emperors and courtiers.  Every time a president takes office, he must replace the chief officials of various units with his own people, most of whom are professional politicians.  None of them make any sense, but the assistants and employees below are all elites and can still run smoothly.  This is to divide the entire management system into two systems: bureaucracy and civil servants, which is very similar to ancient China.  In later generations, although they were called civil servants, they were actually all bureaucratsa unified bureaucracy from top to bottom This is nonsense. Tong Guan and Wen Fei discussed these matters.  Although Wen Fei didn't know much about it, Tong Guan understood it deeply.  So he knows that it doesn't matter if he catches those corrupt officials, but these corrupt officials can only do a disservice.  But after the salt pond is repaired, if you want to continue to produce salt, you still need to rely on these small officials below, or the manly foreman leader just now.  So he even hesitated to use promotion to win over!  This young official, Li Zheng, seemed to be an honest man. After hearing this, he suddenly became at a loss and stammered, not knowing what to say.  Wen Fei made a fool of himself, so Liu Qi straightened his face without Wen Fei's instructions: "What's the matter? Don't you want to serve the officials? Don't want to serve the imperial court? Don't want to serve the Heavenly Master?" Such a person  A hat was pressed down, and Li Zheng and others were shocked and turned pale.  The man who was rude to Wen Fei at the beginning pulled Li Zheng and whispered: "Brother-in-law, why don't you quickly thank Heavenly Master for your support!" Li Zheng just woke up from a dream and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you Heavenly Master!"  Master, I will definitely devote myself to death and die" These words made Wen Fei laugh.  Said: "You are not Zhuge Liang, so why are you just dying? I think you are just a low-level official. If you do well, I will report to the officials and reward you with an official status. What's the problem?  ?" Li Zheng was overjoyed: "Thank you, sir. Although I don't have much ability, I can't be Zhuge Liang, but my ancestor has been working in this Yanchi since the Tang Dynasty. There is nothing wrong with this Yanchi.  Got it" Wen Fei interjected and asked: "Have you ever heard of the redness in the salt pond before?" When talking about this, Li Zheng's face changed, and he said in a clear voice: "  I have heard about it, but I am afraid that you noble people will not believe it. Liu Qi shouted again: "This is what the Heavenly Protector is asking you, is there any dragon causing trouble?"  "Hurry up and say it!" Li Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "I heard my grandfather mentioned that this happened during the reign of Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty, but" "But what?" Liu Qi shouted coldly again.  "But, but the dragons came soon, it rained heavily, and the water rose" Li Zheng said with a sigh.  Several people looked up at the sky.  The sun is very hot and scorching. Look around you. It has been dry for so long, and the salt ponds are almost drying up.  But Li Zheng said that there was going to be a flood soon. No wonder he was so mumbling that he didn't dare to speak out.  If it were anyone else, he might have been reprimanded long ago.  "I have checked the files left by the previous dynasty, and there are indeed records of this kind of thing in the local chronicles" Li Zheng said carefully.  Wen Fei smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to be a thoughtful person!" Liu Qi frowned: "Rain. Flood? It's been so dry today! Father Shang?" Wen Fei said: "There are people in our Taoist sect.  According to this record, it is said that in the twelfth year of the Dali reign of Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty, red salt crystallized and grew in the salt pond. Cui Bei, who was also the censor of salt and iron in Hedong at that time, thought it was an auspicious sign and reported the result to the court soon.  After that, the flood dragons came and rained continuously, causing disasters. Many houses and fields were damaged, and the salt pond production also suffered great losses. This old man Cui Wei was so scared that he finally suppressed the flood dragons without knowing how to do it.  , then he decreed to seal the pool as "Baoying Lingqing Pool", and also named the god of the salt pool as "Baoying Lingqing Gong", and then built the pool temple on Woyungang in the salt pool." Li Zheng slapped him.  : "Yeah, that's it. According to ancient legend here, as soon as the salt pond turns red, you know something is wrong. This is Chi You's fault, and he comes out to cause trouble again. Only the official surnamed Cui indiscriminately  This"Cheng Xiangrui came to report" Liu Qi's expression changed greatly: "Father Shang, is this really going to cause a flood?" The salt pond has dried up, so the problem is not big. There is still a way to think of it. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, it happened  After a severe drought, the water in the salt pond was almost dry. At that time, Jiang Shidu, the governor of Hedong, mobilized troops to dig trenches and divert water from the Sushui River into the pond through Miao Village to solve the problem.  Later, the ditch became blocked. It seems that the salt is not in the water, but in the ground. In this case, the same method can be used to divert water into the salt pond.  As Wen Fei said, if heavy rains cause disasters and floods occur, there will be no solution. For a moment, Tong Guan frowned, and he pointed to the output of Jiechi to provide him with enough military expenses.  How did Cui Jie solve this problem?" Liu Qi asked, a glimmer of hope rising in his heart. Wen Fei doesn't know about this problem. What he just said was what Chen Niwan and others told Wen Fei along the way.  Li Zhengque said: "It was only thanks to the imperial court that the Chi Temple was built and the Chi God was granted the title, so that Chi You below was suppressed.  It's just that the monks offended Chi Shen last time when they performed a ritual, so this kind of thing happened!  " When Wen Fei heard this, he asked: "What is going on, in detail!  " Since Li Zheng was planning to take refuge, he naturally told everything he knew. He and his brother-in-law explained the matter clearly. Wen Fei was furious when he heard this and cursed loudly.  : "That guy Hu Rong was chopped with a knife and died too easily.  If he is alive, he must be given a taste of what it means to be executed by Ling Chi!  " The matter was finally clarified. It turns out that Yanchi has always been suppressed by gods to ensure that nothing happens. The Tang Dynasty even directly named Baoying Lingqing Gong. You must know this Duke, but the Duke's intention, the Duke Bozi is a fifth-class nobleman.  The highest one. It represents the destiny given by the emperor to suppress Yanchi. But not long after Wen Fei defeated Cong Yue and other monks in a battle on the spot, Hu Rong invited him to Yanchi.  The practice was to pray for rain. As a result, the rain did not come, but the Chi God was desecrated I don¡¯t know what Tong Guan and others found after they came for a day? The group of people rushed to the Chi Temple and saw the tall temple.  Towering and very spectacular. The Chi Temple was called Woyungang in ancient times. It faces the Silver Lake and is located on a high ground. It has a double eaves, nine ridges and ten beasts resting on the mountain-style roof, and is quite exquisite in scale.  The shape is similar, the platform in front of the temple is connected, and the railings are exquisitely carved. The temples built in Yanchi are naturally built in good places. Wen Fei and his team rushed to Chi Temple, and Tong Guan rushed over.  , shouted: ¡°Father Shang, something bad is going on!  " Wen Fei was shocked: "What happened? He suddenly got inspiration from modern time and space, and knew that the violent energy was caused by the imbalance of yin and yang in heaven and earth, so he hurried back to the time and space of the Northern Song Dynasty, but unexpectedly  What I saw along the way to Yanchi was that the situation was much worse than I expected!  "The statue of Chi Shen no longer has any aura" Tong Guan lowered his voice and said: "I have already interrogated clearly. A few days ago, a group of monks came from Mount Wutai to pray for rain. It seems that that night, Chi Shen  Strange noises came from the temple, and the monks left the salt pond in a hurry the next day" The aura of the statue is gone? This can only mean one problem, the god of the salt pond no longer exists.  "How dare these bald thieves have such courage to destroy the salt pond so blatantly?" Wen Fei was a little surprised. By now, the matter could not be clearer.  Those thieves must have taken the opportunity to pray for rain and killed the pond god who suppressed the salt pond.  Only then did the pond water turn red.  Just how did these monks get so bold? The matter spread to Zhao Ji's ears.  If you don't believe it, Zhao Ji doesn't dare to raise his troops and just bloodbath the entire Wutai Mountain!  Is someone putting the blame on someone? Unable to figure it out, Wen Fei shook his head and asked, "By the way, where are my senior brothers? Why didn't you see anyone?" Tong Guan smiled bitterly: "Last night, there was a vibration in Zhongtiao Mountain.  Several of your senior brothers went to check it out. Only one named Chen Niwan said that he wanted to go to the spiritual world and check out the statue of Chi Shen.  The aura is gone, which means that Chi Shen has fallen, where is the dojo anymore?" Wen Fei asked strangely.  Tong Guan smiled bitterly: "I don't understand these things, I just saw" At that time, Tong Guan laughed loudly when he saw Chen Niwan, and when his body swayed, an identical Chen Niwan walked out of him and saluted everyone.  After taking a few steps towards the statue, the figure suddenly disappeared.  ¡ËFast updates¡Ë¡ËPure text¡Ë
