Chapter 2351: Similar people are enemies
Wen Rensheng did not encourage others.
I didn’t tell Xu Xian directly.
Anyway, there is a long way to go.
Xu Xian’s training plan is still very long.
Then facing the eldest lady of the Liu family who was suffering from the cold, Xu Xian began to use his own smoke, consuming a lot of divine power to slowly heal her.
Wen Rensheng reminded him again: "After the treatment, remember to ask that Mr. Liu for another dream."
"Oh, I got it." Xu Xian really didn't expect this. thing.
So after the treatment, he said to Mr. Liu in his dream:
"Don't bully those fishermen anymore, and don't collect money anymore."
"I have cured your wife."
"In another day, she will wake up."
Liu Dedi immediately knelt down in his dream and said quickly: " Thank you, thank you Lord River God.”
“I will never collect money again.”
In fact, the Liu family really does not lack this money.
But human greed is here.
Take all the small places and use them like sand.
As long as no one can restrain them, even if they don't lack this little money, they will definitely take what they can.
But now that they are restrained by the River God, they naturally don’t dare to accept it anymore.
Then the eldest lady of the Liu family recovered.
This kind of efficacious effect made Liu Xiangshen quickly go to worship again.
Even led people to build a river temple.
The eldest lady of the Liu family also heard about the River God from her master.
Patients are the easiest to believe in God and the most afraid of God.
She understood immediately.
Kneel down quickly and worship.
At the same time, a tablet of the River God was also enshrined at home.
He also used his own money to build a golden body for the River Temple.
Xu Xian also felt that this lady was very kind and saved her for nothing.
I don’t even know that people have many sides.
As pious as this lady is to the gods, she is so cruel to her servants...
Then the fishermen along the river got good news.
The Liu family received a dream from the River God, so they no longer accept money from the River people.
They can fish and raise fish as they please.
In this way, the fishermen made a plan.
Without half of the money the Liu family wanted, even if they gave part of it to the Yugang and the Yamen, they would still make a lot of money.
After all, there is little land in the south of the Yangtze River.
A river can raise fish, and with the help of the river god, basically one acre of fish pond is equivalent to the output of several more acres of land.
This is a big temptation for the people.
So many fishermen began to go to the river again, started to lower their nets, and started to raise fish again.
And there is also a benefit to the appearance of the river god.
The Liu family sends people to patrol the river every day.
Prevent Xiaoxiao from excreting dirty things inside.
Invisibly, some gangsters and some guys who were jealous of the fish farmers were driven away.
You must know that even in later generations, there are still people who are jealous of the good harvest of fish ponds and put rat poison and pesticides into other people's fish ponds, causing all the fish in other people's ponds to die during the good harvest.
There are countless such cases.
Without these distractions, fish farming is really a good business.
And if the tax is not so heavy, fish is still a good way to supplement protein.
When Xu Xian saw this, he couldn't help but said, "Why didn't everyone raise fish on these rivers before?"
Wen Rensheng smiled and did not answer.
Then Xu Xian thought of what the Liu family had done.
Yes, with these country squires around, even if there are smart people who think of how to raise fish, it will be difficult to make it big.
At most, you can build a few fish ponds and raise fish alone.
But fishermen lack knowledge and fish can easily die.
Coupled with the triple exploitation of government servants, squires, and fish gangs, it is difficult to make money basically.
Depends on luck and status.
In short, with the technology provided by the River God and the protection of power, fish farming is a profitable business.
But the good times did not last long, when the Liu family stopped collecting money, and the Fish Gang saw the benefits.
They raised the tax on fishermen at the fish market to 80% in one breath!
Of course with such a high fee, most of it will be given to the officials behind the scenes.
The fishermen suddenly became depressed and angry.
"God, can people still live?"
"Finally, the Liu family was entrusted by the river god with a dream, and they showed kindness and refused to collect fish tax."
"But the fish The leader of the gang collected more."
"After all, our work was in vain."
By this time, Xu Xian had grown up.
After he found out about this, he copied the cat and the tiger again.
I also found the fish gang leader.
The method of entering dreams also began.
If the other party doesn't believe it, he is ready to find the other party's fishing boat.
Prepare to use the wind and waves to reveal your spirit.
Of course, this time Xu Xian decided to just make some small waves and not get anyone wet again.
In fact, the leader of the Fish Gang didn’t believe it at first.
Have a dream and immediately believe that he is too timid.
In this case, Xu Xian immediately started to make trouble.
Whenever the leader of the Fish Gang travels by boat, there are storms.
This moment frightened the gang leader.
Xu Xian didn’t know that even such a small storm was very big.
Because such efficacious gods are rare.
Gods are generally more careful.
I won’t get too stained by the red dust.
Because the world of mortals has too many causes and effects.
If you are not careful, you will suffer more disasters.
The result of hard work in cultivating immortality may be gone.
Unless they are immortals like the Eight Immortals, Guanyin, and Jigong, who are looked up to by all the people, who can resolve cause and effect, and can increase their cultivation through experience in the mortal world, they will often come into contact with the mortal world.
All in all, an efficacious god like Xu Xian is very powerful.
The leader of the Fish Gang is not stupid either.
Also not stubborn.
Now that he can become a gang leader, his mind will be very flexible.
Faced with such an efficacious god, he immediately chose to retreat.
After all, those fishermen's little money is not the core interest of the Fish Gang in the first place.
His core and largest income is still on the ship, at the monopoly dock.
Monopoly on loading and unloading goods.
The Fish Gang is actually a River Gang.
The purpose of choosing a fish gang is to avoid taboos and make the gentleman’s face look good.
So the Fish Gang also stopped accepting cash.
The last one is the matter of the government officials.
Of course the government officials are also greedy.
But this is Qiantang County.
The government officials here are relatively good.
They are still a little taboo, why?
Because there are many scholars and talented people here.
There are many scholars.
If they look too ugly, they are easily criticized.
After all, their family still lives in the county.
And they are well informed.
If you are not well-informed, you cannot be a government servant.
The day you offend someone, it’s over.
Now that Yugang and Liu Xiangshen have given up collecting money, the yamen servants want more.
But because of the river god's face, they only need 10% of the silver and they will be allowed to enter the city to sell normally in the future.
The 10% fish tax is nothing to fishermen.
In addition, Li Gongfu was still working as a head catcher there.
These government officials are relatively clean and honest.
Because Li Gongfu has a good person inside.
He was a head catcher very early on.
Otherwise, he would not have been forced by the county magistrate to solve the money theft case.
Therefore, with the restraint of Li Gongfu, the government officials were not too arrogant.
It’s just the office clerks and housekeepers, but they still managed to make a fortune.
It is earned from selling fish.
Fishmen are required to sell only in designated places.
And you have to give them enough respect.
Such as big fish and roe. There are other white servants who also secretly collect money from fishermen.
They all kept it secret from Xu Xian’s brother-in-law. Although Li Gongfu knew about it, he had nothing to do.
After all, he is a catcher and has no control over the affairs of the sixth house.
In fact, his position is much lower than that of Liufang.
He can only ask his people not to go too far.
He also did not expect that his brother-in-law had become a river god.
Because of Li Gongfu’s relationship, Xu Xian did not rush into trouble with the Yamen.
Until those people asked for more and more, he also wanted to give a warning.
But I found that those people from the yamen all had a red aura on their bodies.
"What are those red smokes?" He was surprised.
I always feel untouchable.
It is like seeing a red fire tongs.
Wen Rensheng told him: "Have you read the Western Zhou Dynasty novel about the gods?"
"I haven't seen it, I just heard some stories about conferring gods." Xu Xian shook his head.
“Well, let me tell you, all dynasties have good luck.”
“Luck can protect the dynasty from being interfered by gods at will.”
“The government also has good luck. Luck."
"So you, the river god, can't attack them easily."
"Aren't they lawless?" Xu Xian was immediately angry.
He thought of his brother-in-law Li Gongfu, wasn’t he a very good man?
Why are some officials so cruel?
Isn’t it nice to be kind to others?
"Haha, many places are just lawless." Wen Rensheng shook his head.
"Then there's no way to deal with them?" Xu Xian gritted his teeth.
The fish were raised by fishermen wearing stars and moons.
The biggest one will be taken away by Liufang Book Office.
If you don’t give it, I will punish you for selling fish indiscriminately.
I’ll give you something more serious, hide something in the fish...
Then you're dead.
Of course, most book offices don’t dare to do this.
"Of course, you are the God of the River."
"You can collect evidence of their evil deeds and go to the family members of the upright officials. You can entrust the news to the upright officials in dreams and pass it on to the upright officials with the help of their family members. "
"It is perfectly possible to deal with these government officials through indirect means."
Wen Rensheng smiled.
God is God after all.
Now that you have mastered extraordinary means.
How can it be compared to a mortal book office?
Just go around and kill them.
"But what if we can't find an honest official?" Xu Xian finally became wiser.
Wen Rensheng smiled: "Believe me, when you entrust a dream to an official's family, the county magistrate will definitely become an upright official."
Nonsense, the county magistrate will understand as long as he is not confused. The meaning of this.
Even if you are an official now, you will resign one day.
Officials know best how not to offend the Immortal God.
A descendant, a clan?
Are you going to be an official with a real god?
Looking for death.
A capable official like Ximen Bao can see through the false gods.
But when the real god comes, the Simon Leopard will instantly transform into a Simon Cat.
"Yes, I can also collect the bad things they did, and then I can find some scholars to tell these things." Xu Xian thought of a way.
After noticing this, Xu Xian suddenly felt his mind was opened.
He can turn into smoke at night.
So, Xu Xian just asked for a dream once.
The county magistrate immediately gave the clerks a severe beating.
As a result, the river under Xu Xian's jurisdiction became more and more prosperous.
Because the Liu family no longer collects taxes, neither does the fishing gang, and the government clerks are also honest.
So the fishermen began to vigorously expand production.
They are raising more and more fish.
Fish prices are getting cheaper and cheaper.
There are more and more people eating fish in the county.
Because the fish production is really large.
With the help of the River God, this output is really beyond the imagination of ancient people.
It can be said that it is close to the output of modern fish ponds!
This is terrible.
Just when Xu Xian was happy, his popularity grew.
Just Wen Rensheng smiled: "Don't be too happy too early, disaster is always brewing in prosperity."
Xu Xian didn't understand: "Great God, isn't this a good thing? ? Why is it harmful? "
"You will know after reading it."
Sure enough, a problem began to appear at this time:
That is, all people have feet.
No one else is stupid.
Since fish are raised in this river, no taxes are collected.
After the first batch of fishermen made money, more and more people from all over the country soon began to gather around.
You must know that even in future generations, employment will be difficult.
Especially in this era.
Many people drown their babies because they cannot feed them.
There are too few jobs.
These people have no land, but now they have a river to raise fish.
Although there seems to be a lot of fish, and if you want to transport it over long distances these days, you can only sell salted fish and dried fish.
But because there is no tax, yes, the key is there is no fish tax, so these villagers began to come here to raise fish.
Even in later generations, crops have become valuable, and a lot of people have grown them, and then the prices have dropped.
No one can grow it and it’s expensive.
So the cycle goes like this.
How big is the river controlled by Xu Xian?
That is hundreds of miles long.
Such tributaries are common in Jiangnan.
Xu Xian was very happy at first.
On the clear river, there are fishing nets and fish baskets everywhere, used to trap the water for raising fish, crabs, shrimps, and clams...
< br>It’s just that the good times don’t last long.
Jiudou appeared.
Yes, the villagers began to fight with each other over the water at first, and then over the river.
First there was a fight between two families.
Because a big fish weighing more than 10 kilograms jumped up and ran to the water of another house.
So this family wanted to catch the fish.
Isn't this funny?
Who can recognize the original fish?
Of course that family is not happy.
One family is from Liujiacun, and the other is from Niejiacun.
As the two sides shook each other... because of a fish, the two sides started fighting each other.
"Why? It's just a fish?"
"This is just a matter of 50 copper coins!"
Looking at the two sides fighting.
Soon someone was bleeding, someone fell into the water...
Xu Xian saved this one and that one.
As a result, except for a small number of people who were afraid of the river god's anger and did not dare to start a fight, everyone else got involved!
Xu Xian never imagined that he was dedicated to doing good for the people.
As a result, the people started to fight each other.
And it started because of him.
In the past, although the two villages were poor, they did not have such a big conflict.
There has never been any blood between them.
If Xu Xian hadn’t tried his best to save him, he would have died long ago.
Several children looked helplessly at the adults fighting and crying.
Xu Xian had no choice but to lift the children and put them on the boat in the middle of the river.
“How could this happen?”
he said painfully.
“Did I do something wrong?”
Wen Rensheng shook his head.
He did not understand the other party.
A man’s growth always emerges from crying.
The reason is also very simple.
Because no one knew how to raise fish before.
I can only be forced to death by God, the landlord, and the county magistrate.
Now there is a way to survive, and other blocking factors have been solved by Xu Xian.
The biggest pressure comes from the same kind of people: other fishermen.
