Chapter 270 Unintentionally Inserted into the Willows and Willows (1st Update)

The Hebei people who came to apply for the recruitment began construction according to the plan arranged by Chen Ying. All the engineering materials are raised on the spot, originally Chen Ying just wanted to bluff and fool the past, anyway, he was just fighting for people's hearts, even if these people cut down some trees and built a few earthen walls, he would also give food and money to the people who came to recruit.

However, when Chen Ying finished reading the Shahe embankment, he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat. Because Hebei has been fighting for many years, even if Dou Jiande got Zhaozhou, it was only a few months, so during this period of time, the government of Hebei prefectures and counties almost failed to exercise the functions of the government, and the entire repaired embankment was spontaneously repaired by the nearby people.

In the wetlands near Jize Summer, the rainy season usually falls in July and August, which means that there are still two or three months to go, and at that time, it is the eve of the crop harvest.

Therefore, Chen Ying changed his mind. He ordered the people to build a river embankment that could not only moor boats, but also prevent flooding. The mud embankment is naturally unusable, you can want to burn lime, lime and clay tamped into a triple soil, but there is no stone that can burn lime nearby, in desperation, Chen Ying had to order the people to set up dozens of brick kilns on the spot, fire green bricks, specially used to repair the embankment.

In this way, the amount of work will increase several times, and the investment will increase accordingly, the original plan of 30,000 people to build for three months, I am afraid that 50,000 people will be needed, or even more.

"There's no need for this!" Li Shentong really couldn't figure out why Chen Ying's efforts were thankless, if this battle was lost, this river embankment could benefit more than 100,000 acres of fertile land near Shahe Bay, but once it failed, it would all be cheap Dou Jiande.

Chen Ying said lightly: "Pacifying Hebei is a matter within the general's responsibility, but the livelihood of the society has to be paid attention to." The princes of the imperial court are far away in Chang'an, and they will definitely not be able to see it, and the king of Huai'an will not be able to see that this muddy embankment can't withstand the impact of the flood when the water rises, right? Once the flood season comes, more than 100,000 acres of fertile land in Shahewan will be flooded, and there will be no harvest, and the livelihood of these people will not be settled. ”

Li Shentong is not a stupid person, he thought that Chen Ying was reminding him of some danger, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He is the left naked shirt of the Hebei Provincial Xingtai Shangshu, and it can be said that he will be the head of the hundred officials in Hebei in the future, and once this extremely humble mud embankment bursts, he will bear the responsibility for dereliction of duty.

The people are the most simple, although they don't know hydrology, and they don't understand river engineering, but they know that this mud embankment will definitely not be able to withstand the impact of heavy rain, in previous years, this neighborhood was wasteland, but with Dou Jiande built the capital of Zhouzhou, the land here has been used. Once the rainstorm breaks the levees, it is they who lose.

So when Chen Ying proposed to repair the embankment, the Hebei people, who were still hesitant to work for Emperor Li Tang's old son, also left their hearts behind, carried their own tools, came to the embankment construction site, and joined the construction army.

In just half a day, thousands of people around the city were already working in full swing, they fished out the river sand from the bottom of the river, put it on the embankment to dry, and it only took three or two days to sift out the usable sand with a sieve. All the people are working hard and sweating like rain.

Many elderly clan elders and clan elders are cheering for the children and descendants of their clan. Just like the so-called peasant uprising, the main body is the peasantry, but the core often has little to do with the peasantry. When the news spread that Chen Ying was building a river embankment in Shahe Bay, the Hebei clan clearly felt a signal.

……

Qinghe Cui's mansion, a scribe in the middle of the year, was holding a letter and reading it carefully. "The human face doesn't know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze." Qinghe Cui, the head of the "Four Families". Qinghe Cui was one of the ministers of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period, lived in Qinghe County in the Western Han Dynasty, and became a Shandong Wang clan after the Eastern Han Dynasty, among which Cui Yan had voted under Cao Cao. During the Western Jin Dynasty, the scholars paid attention to the family lineage, and the Cui family was listed as the first class surname "Cui Lu Wang Xie".

After the Qinghe Cui family, the Northern Dynasty was once known as the "Four Great Families" with the Fanyang Lu family, the Xingyang Zheng family, and the Taiyuan Wang family - these four families are the official evaluation~~ Among them, Situ Cuihao, the founding father of the Northern Wei Dynasty, pushed the Qinghe Cui family to the first peak. The Cui clan in the Tang Dynasty was still prominent, and twenty-three people served as prime ministers. Tang officials revised the "Clan Chronicles" and listed the Cui family as the first, and Tang Wenzong was furious after learning about it: "The Cui family has long been in decline, and there are no obvious officials and no talents, why should they be listed as the first?" Could it be that my Li family is the son of heaven, and I can't compare to the Cui family? "The order was changed to the Li clan first, the queen clan patriarch Sun clan second, and the Cui clan ranked third. Despite this, the Cui clan is still a high-ranking scholar. Du Fu's mother is Qinghe Cui.

Qinghe Cui's family, virtuous and virtuous, brilliant deeds, and literary heroes.

This scribe is none other than Cui Tong of the Cui family.

Cui Tong put down the secret letter, because he just knew that Chen Ying actually recruited people to repair the embankment of the Shahe River when he didn't fight down in Zhaozhou at this time, and this matter was nothing, Chen Ying was just worried that when the flood season came, the hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land around Shahe Bay would be flooded, which would definitely cause hundreds of thousands of people to die and their wives to be separated.

Suffice it to say, there is nothing deep about this.

But Cui Tong didn't think so, he firmly believed that Chen Ying must have the confidence to solve Dou Jiande and recover Hebei before the autumn harvest.

Dou Jiande will be defeated.

Cui Tong has no doubt about this matter.

When Dou Jiande was in Xingyang, the soldiers robbed the Zheng family in Xingyang, this account has not been calculated with Dou Jiande, of course, this is not the most important, the most important thing is the confidence and strength of both sides, Dou Jiande has no big family and gate valve support behind him, so his army is like the original Chu overlord, although he can defeat Liu Bang, but there is no stable rear.

Once Dou Jiande showed signs of defeat, it was the time when Dou Jiande was defeated and died.

However, what Cui Tong didn't expect was that Dou Jiande obviously did not show his defeat.

Looking at Cui Tong with a long sigh, his son Cui Yifang bowed down and said, "Father, what's the matter?" ”

Cui Tong let out a long sigh, handed the secret letter in his hand to Cui Yifang and said, "I can't figure it out for my father!" ”

Cui Yifang looked at it for a while, and said confidently: "Father, if the child is not bad, this General Chen must have a way to defeat the enemy?" ”

Cui Tong asked, "Can you guess what way he has to defeat the enemy?" ”

Cui Yifang thought in his heart that his father must have taken the school entrance examination for him, so he had the intention of showing off. Cui Yifang coughed and said: "Father, this is one of them, General Chen, born in Wuchuan Hou Mo Chen clan, his clan is one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty Sikong Hou Mo Chen Chong, Hou Mo Chen's family has been a general, good at generals, every generation of children, are not world famous generals, General Chen was born in a famous family, family history, absolutely Dou Jiande is comparable!" ”

Cui Yifang went from Chen Ying's background to Chen Ying's several achievements, and then categorically told Cui Tong that Chen Ying would win.

Cui Tong actually feels this way.

Cui Tong nodded and said: "It seems that our Qinghe Cui clan needs to express its position, Yifang Wu'er, you can go to Zhaozhou on behalf of your father, bring your father's handwritten letter, and also bring the goodwill of our Qinghe Cui clan!" ”

Cui Yifang was overjoyed and said: "The child will definitely live up to his father's expectations!" ”

Chen Ying wants to compete for the hearts of the people in Hebei, and it is far from enough to buy the people of Hebei, because the news spread in this era is too slow and too narrow, and it is most necessary for celebrities and celebrities at this time to spread their names. The Hebei clan is an unavoidable hurdle. Although Chen Ying does not like to associate with the children of the world, at this time, he must also be hypocritical and snake with them.

Chen Ying, who was in Shahewan, Zhaozhou, never thought that his original unintentional move was actually misinterpreted by Cui Tong.

However, the Cui family itself is the head of the Hebei Shi clan gate valve, and it is also the weather vane of the Hebei Shi clan gate valve, and the Cui family sent Cui Yi, an outstanding young man, to Chen Ying to express the goodwill of the Cui family, which in itself is a powerful political signal.

Cui's is optimistic about Chen Ying.

Other major heroes and clans have also sent young heroes or backbone members of the family to Shahewan.

Shahe Bay, which was originally unknown, became a place of pilgrimage almost overnight. The children of the Shi clan from all over the country either took a boat or a car, and they all headed in the direction of Shahe Bay.

At the same time, the Beiwei army in the city of Zhaozhou also received Chen Ying's order to make waves.
