Chapter 130: Attacking the Sand
Ye Hua was very excited, because he encountered the legendary driver who shouted injustice.
Although this kind of vulgar scene is popular in the opera and endures, it is actually impossible, the emperor hugs the back, and how many people protect it. Whoever dares to move forward must be regarded as an assassin, either shot into a sieve by a bow and crossbow, or chopped into meat sauce, no matter how you deal with it, you will not be wronged.
This time, Guo Wei came in a micro-suit, there were not many people around him, and the location where the chaos occurred was still more than 100 meters away from them.
Lang Lang Qiankun, what the hell is going on?
When the guards saw that the emperor was angry, they immediately urged their horses and arrested all of them.
Whether it is an official or an ordinary person, they are covered in mud and water, dirty, they don't know that Guo Wei is the emperor, but they know that he is a big man, and they all kneel on the ground and keep begging for mercy.
The leading official was even more crying, and kept shouting injustice, "The little ones are acting on orders, they are really acting on orders!" ”
Ye Hua frowned slightly, his memory was very good, and the guy in front of him was really familiar!
"You're Li Qing, right?"
The leading official hurriedly raised his head, and when he saw Ye Hua, he was stunned for a long time, the young man grew up fast and changed a lot, so he could only wash his face.
He rubbed his eyes, "You, you're a friend of the stone?" ”
Ye Hua smiled, "You were going to enter Kaifeng Mansion as an official errand at the beginning, and now it seems that you have got your wish?" ”
Li Qing cried, "Help, whoever likes to do this official will do it, I'll go back to prison and squat, at least I don't have to be scolded!" ”
Ye Hua sank his face, "Don't talk nonsense, the noble man is here, you hurry up and make it clear, why are you chasing people, otherwise you won't even be able to eat prison food, and you will eat the severed head meal directly!" ”
"Hey, hey!"
Li Qing was so frightened that his voice changed, he was the Xu Chao who passed on his reputation to Fan Zhen outside the Vermilion Bird Gate and reported the thief.
After hard work, he really became an official of Kaifeng Mansion, he was very motivated at first, and he wanted to change his mind and be a decent person. It's just that a few months ago, the imperial court began to recruit people's husbands, especially after the end of spring ploughing, the number of recruits was even greater, enough to tens of thousands.
All of them were pulled to the side of the Bianhe River and were responsible for dredging the water transportation.
Not long ago, Fan Zhen personally rushed to supervise the work and gave a death order to dredge the Bianhe River before the flood season.
Easier said than done.
The people worked day and night, but for decades, they were not completely cleaned up, and the rivers were silted up by sediment, which was so easy to get done, and the court urged them tightly, and many people couldn't stand the fatigue and ran away.
Li Qing was responsible for taking people to chase after him, caught up with him, and went back to work, but he couldn't catch up, and they were beaten up.
After only a few days, the butt has changed a layer of skin.
It's not easy to be an official errand if you dare to love it, and it's not easy to eat official meals!
Li Qing really cried.
He snorted and cried, finished the matter, and asked the young people, they were bitter, and the court said that there were only 20 days of forced labor every year, and they all worked for a month, and they were not allowed to go home. Seeing that the rainy season is coming, no one should repair their houses, and they should dig drainage ditches in the fields.
As a result, the court did not let people go, and the dog officials disregarded people's lives, they saw with their own eyes that some tired people were dragged away, and they heard that they were all buried alive, can they not run?
After listening to the words of these two sides, Guo Wei's head grew bigger.
What they said is true, the official in charge of the river works really damned!
But the problem is, the people who repair the river are Fan quality!
Guo Wei's most trusted prime minister, this is what Fan Xianggong can do?
Or are his subordinates doing nonsense from him?
Guo Wei glanced at Chai Rong and Ye Hua, "Let's go, you guys go with me to see for yourself!" ”
Ye Hua's workshop is on this side of the Wuzhang River, and it is Bianshui to the south.
When they arrived in Bianshui, they were indeed all people, lighting lanterns and torches, and still working on construction. Ye Hua urged him to step forward, and when he saw that there was a leader who was commanding the people, he asked loudly, "Do you know where Fan Xianggong is?" I'm looking for Fan Xianggong! ”
It doesn't matter what he said, the other party looked up and saw Ye Hua, and came over in a few steps.
"The old man remembered, you are still the deputy envoy of the canal, come down to work for the old man!"
Dare to love this is Fan quality!
Ye Hua really didn't dare to associate him with the prime minister of the current dynasty, he was covered in mud and water, his clothes were torn in several places, his flesh was exposed, his voice was dumb, his eyes were red, his face was full of beard, haggard and embarrassed, and domineering.
He pulled Ye Hua and didn't let go, at this time, there were many monkeys, and there were three more points of strength!.
Ye Hua couldn't cry or laugh, "Don't be busy yet, Fan Xianggong, you come with me." ”
In front of Guo Wei and Chai Rong, these two were waiting under the tree, and when Fan Zhen saw it, he was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, it's dangerous here, hurry back to the palace!" ”
Guo Wei said angrily: "Thousands of troops and horses are not afraid, will they be afraid of some people? Fan Xianggong, what are you doing, why are you so embarrassed? ”
Fan Zhen was helpless and could only tell the truth.
He took over the task of dredging the water from last year, the original plan was to be completed this year, Fan Zhen also swore that he still ran into trouble, the riverbed siltation was too bad, it had been flattened, Fan Zhen had to reopen a section of the river, and the amount of work increased by half. Coincidentally, in the spring of this year, because of the order to grant fields, to encourage farming, the people could not be recruited, and it was easy to wait for the end of spring ploughing.
There is still a lot to be done.
Lao Fan has no choice, he can only rush to work day and night, and play with his life!
Bianshui is related to the food security of the capital, and it is related to whether the golden autumn can smoothly send troops to conquer the Southern Tang Dynasty.
After listening to it, everyone was also very sympathetic to Fan Qian, and it was really not easy for him.
"Fan Xianggong, you forced the people to death and buried them alive, but is there such a thing?" Chai Rong asked.
Fan Zhen immediately dragged, "King Jin, this matter is definitely a misunderstanding, the old man just asked people to take the fainted people to the hospital for treatment and recuperation, they didn't die, let alone bury them alive." ”
Fan quality character is still trustworthy, most of it is a misunderstanding.
But the question is, what about the water transportation?
If you continue to play with your life, you will be tired to death, who will be responsible for the consequences?
If you don't play with your life, the canal is not dredged, the grain cannot be transported, the soldiers cannot go south, and the merchants are not passable, which seems to be even more serious.
It's nerve-wracking how to choose!
After Fan Zhen finished talking about the situation, he took a deep breath and said: "It's the old minister who is incompetent, he has failed the grace of the saint, now there are only 10 days, he must dredge the water, how many sins are there, the old minister is willing to bear it, I just ask His Majesty to forgive the minister's family, the old minister is grateful!" ”
Fan Zhen is going to throw away his life!
Guo Wei frowned deeply, looking very embarrassed. The river must be dredged, the quality of the river must not be compromised, and the hearts of the whole people must be taken into account, but things are not so easy!
Guo Wei subconsciously looked at Ye Hua, wondering if this apricot could still help him solve his problems?
Ye Hua listened carefully, "Fan Xianggong, I want to ask, how did you dredge the Cao Yun, do you need so many people?" ”
Fan Zhen snorted, "If Champion Hou is curious, just look at it." It's hard for you to be the deputy envoy of the canal, and you don't even know how to dredge the river! ”
Ye Hua rolled his eyes, he had too many official positions, I'm sorry, I really didn't take the deputy envoy of the canal in my eyes.
Immediately, let a few guards carry lanterns, Ye Hua followed up the embankment, went to see how the construction was carried out with his own eyes, turned around, and when Ye Hua came back, his nose was crooked.
"Fan Xianggong, you do this, no wonder the people can't stand it!"
Fan Zhen forcibly suppressed the anger in his belly, and asked rhetorically, "What is the high opinion of the champion Hou?" ”
Ye Hua said twice, "I can't talk about it, it's just four words!" ”
"What four words?"
"Beam the water and attack the sand!"
When Ye Hua spit out these four words, Fan Zhen was stunned for a moment, he seemed to have a clue, but he didn't completely figure it out, he could only look at it and wait for Ye Hua to explain!
