Chapter 662: Admiral's Last Day
At this time in Goryeo, Wei Chengen was rolling his trousers and stepping on straw sandals to build an embankment on the river embankment.
The heavy rains of the previous two days washed away a newly built river canal and flooded a lot of newly cultivated fertile land.
Wei Chengen held a shovel in his hand, kept shoveling the sand, buried in the place where the embankment had burst, and wheelbarrows, carrying sacks of soil, rushed to the place where the embankment broke.
Wei Chengen picked up a sack and said to the people around him: "Smash the stake deeper, otherwise it will be barely blocked today, and it will be broken again tomorrow!" ”
"You go to the Kaicheng Mansion and tell Kaijing Shaoyin, saying that I will go over later! How did this embankment become like this? If he doesn't have an explanation, I'll cut off his head today!" ”
"River officer! What about the river officer! Roll over to Lao Tzu, the river official will not punish the crime! That's the Yellow River! How did this small river canal pass the customs and release water in the first place?! Tomorrow after the weather is fine, all the river embankments along the way will be inspected, and if the embankment bursts again, you are the only one who asks! ”
Wei Chengen was busy and threw the sack on his shoulder in front of the stake that broke the embankment, and the embankment was surrounded by everyone, and within half an hour, he finally gambled.
The crowd erupted in loud cheers, and Wei Chengen wiped the sweat from his forehead with the sheep towel hanging around his neck.
The towel was full of muddy water, and this wipe was a face of mud, which directly turned into a big flower face, and the cheering crowd turned into laughter.
Wei Chengen was also helpless, he looked at the seedlings soaked in the turbid river water, this kind of flooded seedlings, if the weather is sunny tomorrow, a day of exposure, after drying, the seedlings will not be drowned.
And the river sand is also fertile enough, and I can't tell you that you can have a good harvest in this cloudy and uncertain weather.
It is also a blessing in disguise.
Wei Chengen squatted on the embankment, busy all afternoon, he was also tired enough, looked at the blocked estuary, and smiled.
Whether the crowd cheered or laughed, they all recognized him, and all the hard work in Goryeo in the past year has not been in vain.
However, the more the Goryeo people identified with him, the more dangerous he became.
Ever since Zhao Ying was known to the province and wrote to him as Admiral Wei, he knew that he was only one step away from death.
Wei Chengen looked at the smiles on the faces of the people of Goryeo, and said to the people around him: "The official family is a benevolent person, Goryeo and the Great Song Dynasty have no grievances and no enmity, so many Goryeo people have suffered, after I leave, the life of the Goryeo people will not be difficult." ”
"I'm a descendant of the Silla royal family! When did you personally do the things of building embankments, dredging rivers, pleading fields, and farming, you came, and I did it all! And also do it yourself, deeply implicit! "The person next to him is Kim Bok-cheol.
Wei Chengen did it himself, and at the beginning, Jin Fuzhen still felt that he was just making a show, and he also followed suit.
Winning people's hearts is still good at Song people.
I didn't think about doing this, it's just a whole year, he is also dressed in a robe, with a big flower face on his face, who will believe that he is Jin Fuzhe?
At first, he was reluctant to do so, but when the people saw him, the smile on his face changed from false feelings to real feelings, and he completely let go of the burden in his heart.
Wei Chengen said with a smile: "Gao Li, it's too poor. ”
"If the official family sends new officials, you still have to rely on the five brothers of your Jin family to maintain the situation. If the new official card is eaten, you five brothers will write a note to the official family, my Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is not your Wang Kai, he can't tolerate sand in his eyes. ”
"In fact, what the people want is very simple, that is, to eat a full stomach." Wei Chengen looked at the endless farmland in distraction, and finally turned into a sigh.
"Are you so sure the official family will let you go? My brother will beg you to stay in front of the officials. Jin Fushi asked suspiciously.
Wei Chengen did a good job in Goryeo, and his brother was in Liaoyang, and participating in the battle of Liaoyang would also say good things to Wei Chengen.
When Wei Chengen thought of this, he was angry, and he said angrily: "Your brother is a fool!" The more he boasted, the more the officials couldn't let me stay in Goryeo. You look at him more, he's confused. ”
"If he praises me to the sky, tomorrow I will receive a foot of white silk."
Jin Fuzhe said with a look of disbelief: "The benevolence of the Great Song Dynasty official family is spread all over the world, and even the people of Heaven know that the benevolence of the Great Song Emperor is really benevolent. ”
"Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, how could he give you death?"
Wei Chengen looked at Jin Fuzhe with a determined look and said, "You don't understand, I'm a eunuch." Even if the official family can spare me, the ancestors can't spare me. ”
"Who is the Old Ancestor?" Jin Fuzhe asked suspiciously.
Wei Chengen ran to the river to wash his face, and said: "Our eunuchs in the Great Song Dynasty all belong to the Inner Service Province, the ancestor I am talking about is Zhao Duzhi of the Inner Service Province, the official family's eldest companion since childhood, we have no grievances, but I have a reason to die." ”
"I don't understand your Central Plains Dynasty, you have made Goryeo well, waiting for your emperor to take down the Jin people, doesn't he just take over?" Jin Fuzhe asked suspiciously.
Wei Chengen said with a smile: "We have a Zhao Tuo in the Central Plains, who was sent by Qin Shi Huang to conquer Sanyue, and then Qin Shi Huang died, and Qin was full of wolf smoke, and Zhao Tuo, who had an army of 350,000 people, did not have King Qin, but chose to stand on his own. ”
"This is the lesson, the human heart is the thing that does not stand up to consideration. I don't believe I'm going to be like this for a long time, I don't have any ideas in my mind. Forget it, you don't understand it. ”
Wei Chengen finally washed his face, faced the slightly muddy water surface of the canal, and roared loudly, and suddenly shouted from a distance.
"Admiral Wei, the angel has arrived! I'm waiting for you in Kaijing. ”
Wei Chengen hurried to Kaesong and met Sun Li waiting under the city gate.
"Admiral Wei is so majestic." Sun Li pinched a holy decree and looked behind Wei Chengen, hundreds of horsemen stepped on horseback, and said with a smile.
"Sun Abban is too worried, these are all Goryeo soldiers who went to build embankments. There is no majesty that is not majestic. I went to take a shower and took the order. Sun Abban went to the palace of Goryeo for a while. Wei Chengen hurriedly rolled off the horse and said.
It is inevitable that the order needs to be bathed.
And when Wei Chengen was bathing, Jin Fuzhen suddenly broke in, and said in shock: "Admiral Wei, run away." I received a letter from my eldest brother, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty wants you to go back! ”
"Where am I going? I'm a eunuch. Wei Chengen shook his head with a smile, and did not hide it, just stood up from the bathtub, dressed neatly, and went to the Qingming Hall of Goryeo.
Sun Li shook a pu fan, a pot of wine was placed in front of the table, and said with a smile: "I don't know if Admiral Wei has anything else to explain?" If not, then I'm going to make a decree. ”
