Chapter 539: Thunder on the Ground

Ask for a referral ticket******************

Yang Yi went to Texas to have a look, and a small inspiration made the progress of the river control project faster, which even he did not expect.

There are some things in this world that may seem inconspicuous, but the impact is immeasurable.

Yang Yi once read an English nursery rhyme in his previous life: a nail is missing, a horseshoe is lost; lost a horseshoe and lame a war horse; lame a warhorse, fell a king, fell a king, lost a battle; Lost a campaign, lost a country.

This nursery rhyme tells a true history: Charles III, the royal family of England, and the Earl of Henry of the Garst family have been fighting each other for more than 30 years to snatch the scepter of the King of England.

In the winter of 1485, in the moors on the outskirts of Porterworth, a final battle between the two sides began. The two armies faced each other, but they saw the sword and sword, and hunted with flags; I only heard the war horse Xiao Xiao, and the gongs and drums were sonorous.

Charles III was magnificent, with a long whip, a long sword, and the initiative to attack; Thousands of troops followed, pressing forward step by step; The other party retreated again and again, and not far behind him, a vast swamp glowed with a cold light of despair.

Charles III seems to have seen the bright smile of the goddess of victory.

Suddenly, the war horse stumbled, and Charles III jumped to the ground; The army was killed by an arrow by mistake. Suddenly, the army's heart was in turmoil and panicked.

The Earl of Henry took advantage of the situation to counterattack and take the head of Charles before the battle, which not only turned the danger into a victory, but also placed England under the rule of the Tudor dynasty.

It turned out that on the eve of the decisive battle, when the groom was changing the horseshoe for Charles III's war horse, he found that a nail was missing; Unable to find it for a while, the groom hastily passed away.

Who would have predicted that it would be at the critical moment of launching a general offensive. The horseshoe, which was missing an iron nail, was loose and fell off; The horse has lost its hoof. How could Charles III not fall to the ground. An iron nail is missing, and a crown has changed hands.

Similarly, Yang Yi's small inspiration, seemingly inconspicuous, can at least speed up the progress of the river control project in the lower reaches of Texas.

after remodeling the punt. Yang Yi also suggested using tools such as a winch. Drag the flat-bottomed boat full of sediment from the middle of the river to the shore, etc., the distance is too far and the rope is easy to break, so it is twisted in several sections. It's still much faster and more energy-efficient than lifting on the shoulder.

Many things are like this, one is a hundred ways, Yang Yi's new method has broadened everyone's thinking, and craftsmen have offered their ingenuity;

Some even proposed a high shelf in the middle of the river. After the excavated soil is loaded into baskets, it is lifted to the top of the rack with a pulley set installed on the shelf, and then directly slid to the shore through the cable at the top of the shelf, further reducing the consumption of manpower.

In short, with Yang Yi's encouragement, all kinds of whimsical ideas emerged one after another, just to feel feasible, Yang Yi asked people to try it.

After the experiment, what is really feasible is rewarded to the person who came up with the idea. It further stimulates everyone to use their brains to think.

As soon as the progress of the project was accelerated, Yang Yi had a big heart, as long as the river control project could be completed as soon as possible, how could he prevent a war on both sides, presumably Yelu Yanxi would be worse. It's okay to support it for half a year.

Hearing that after Yang Yi arrived in Texas, Zhao Ruo also hurried back, and he took that group of sons and brothers to stick on the embankment for so long, and the results were remarkable. This was also something that many of the ministers of the DPRK and China did not anticipate;

Yang Yi proposed the establishment of these departments, and the ministers of the DPRK and China agreed. It's just that they want to send these scourges out of Beijing, so that they don't wander around in Beijing and cause trouble everywhere.

Zhao Ruo and the others once again proved a truth, many things are not useless, but they are just not used correctly.

Yang Yi came back with a muddy body every day, and after Qin Cao served him in the bath, he was combing his hair, and Zhao Ruo ran in recklessly.

"Big brother, big brother, why don't you come to Texas to give my little brother a letter, if you bring a letter, my little brother will immediately send a hundred and ten people to meet ............"

was glanced at by Yang Yi, and Zhao Ruo stopped his mouth in disagreement.

Qin Cao knew the etiquette, stopped his hand and asked Zhao Ruo for a blessing.

Zhao Ruo returned the salute with a big grin, and then said, "Big brother, why are you coming to Texas?" But don't worry about your little brother? Big brother, don't worry, there is a little brother watching here, the fish, but anyone who can escape the eyes of the little brother is at most a small fish and shrimp, this is harmless, not to work Big brother, you will go out in person, right? ”

"You are so little, you have walked ninety-nine steps in a hundred steps, but don't fall down at the last step, you give me more caution, the more you reach the final stage, the more people want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit. If the project is not completed for a day, you will pay attention to me for a day, and your credit will naturally be indispensable in the future. ”

"Don't worry, eldest brother, the younger brother knows these truths, and I have made it clear to the brothers under me, but eldest brother, you can say it, when the project is completed, you don't forget them, otherwise the younger brother will not be able to be a man by then."

Yang Yi smiled faintly, in fact, even if he didn't ask for credit for those "scourge spirits", someone else would ask for it, after all, these guys were all from extraordinary backgrounds, and they really had merit, and it was impossible for them not to read about the backers behind them;

But Yang Yi naturally won't let go of such an opportunity, it is certain to help them ask for credit, these "scourge essences" may be used at any time, and occasionally they can be used to harm those who are not pleasing to the eye!

"I guess I can't go to Leling, what's the situation over there?"

Leling is about two hundred miles away from Dezhou, and the project has been spread to Leling, and most of the materials are hoarded in the direction of Leling, and most of their manpower in Zhao Ruo has also been transferred to Leling.

"It's good, I don't know about anything else, anyway, the younger brother is only responsible for investigating and handling the law, and it's useless for you to ask me about other big brothers."

This girl's push was quite simple, Qin Cao just helped Yang Yi comb her bun, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but turn her face and snicker.

"Qin'er, you go and ask someone to prepare some wine and food, the little man is dusty, I'm afraid I won't have food yet."

"Big brother, don't you say I don't think yet, you said this, the little brother just realized that he was hungry, otherwise, we don't have to bother, the eldest brother directly invited the younger brother to the Moon Tower, the little brother is not too much, just come to a few good dishes."

Yang Yi motioned for Qin Cao to do as he said, and then said to Zhao Ruo: "Little boy, it's not that the eldest brother is reluctant to give up those few silvers. If you are in the capital, you fall in love, the eldest brother is up to you, but not here, all the officials are watching me. At this time, please go to the restaurant to eat and drink. The impact is not good. I'll make it up for you next time I go back to Beijing, how about it? ”

Yang Yi is telling the truth, and no one in Beijing will deliberately stare at him. Even if you stare at it, it doesn't hurt to feast, and others can't say anything;

But as a member of the central government, going down to the localities, must be the focus of attention of all local officials. You can't help but pay attention to the impact.

Zhao Ruo said helplessly: "Big brother is really, others try their best to shake their prestige when they go to the place, but big brother, you have to worry about this scruples, let's pay our own money, and care what others say." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I'll talk about everything when I return to Beijing."

The two were chatting, Xiao Yi hurriedly brought in a man in black who was about thirty years old, and Yang Yi didn't recognize this person.

As soon as the man entered the door, he glanced at Zhao Ruo first. Then he hugged his fist at Yang Yi and said, "Scholar Yang, the villain has something important to report and report." ”

He only called the villain, but did not report his identity, so mysterious, Yang Yi roughly guessed the identity of this person.

He said to Xiao Yi and Zhao Ruo: "Mr. Xiao." You take Zhao Xiaowang to the side compartment to dine first, and I'll go over later. ”

Zhao Ruo didn't dare to mess around now, and quickly retreated with Xiao Yi.

"Please forgive Scholar Yang, the villain's name is Ying Jin. The person in charge of the staff pavilion stationed on the embankment, Governor Ma, has an urgent report. Let the villain notify Scholar Yang immediately. ”

In order to prevent the 200,000 Western Xia captives who participated in the river control from rebelling in tandem, the staff pavilion has always placed spies among the captives to keep abreast of the prisoners' movements.

It's just that Ma Hanqing is in such a hurry to pass on the information, which means that the matter must be not small, which makes him worried.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?"

"Back to Yang University, 20 days ago, Dali Minister Gao Taiming suddenly suffered from a strange disease, since then unconscious, Gao Taiming's fourth son Gao Ming Qing just sealed in Tongya Mansion years ago, he suspected that his father Gao Taiming was poisoned and framed, led 5,000 soldiers and horses back to Dali City, and soon after, led the troops into the Dali Palace, forced Dali Lord Duan Zhengchun to hand over the murderer;

Duan Zhengchun was humiliated and directly reprimanded Gao Mingqing, and the two sides clashed, killing and injuring nearly 100 people. In the end, Gao Mingqing's mother arrived in time and stopped Gao Mingqing's further behavior;

This incident shocked the whole country in Dali, and the next day Duan Zhengchun, the lord of Dali, sent a will, claiming that he would pass the throne to Duan Heyu and become a monk;

Then it was reported that Gao Taiming's eldest son also led his troops from the fiefdom of Weichu Mansion to hurry back to Dali City, and now the situation in Dali is delicate, and there is a certain momentum.

Judging from the route Duan Heyu took, Governor Ma thought that he probably did not return to Dali, but went to Yizhou, Guangnan, and hoped that Scholar Yang would think about countermeasures as soon as possible. ”

Hearing Ying Jin's words, Yang Yi almost couldn't sit still, although he forced himself to sit in his position and didn't move, but his heart was like a wave.

He asked in a deep voice, "Is there anything else?" ”

Na Ying saw that Yang Yi's expression was gloomy, and his voice was much quieter: "Returning to Yang University, there is also the war in the Western Regions, and the envoy of the Sect Degree led six troops with a total of 70,000 troops to the west, and a total of seven routes were divided, and the first battle was ............ The first battle was unfavorable, and 10,000 horses and horses of the Achai Department were ambushed by the 30,000 troops of Akmor on the west side of Bafeng Mountain, and the Achai Department lost nearly 6,000 men and horses........."

When Ying Jin said this, he couldn't help but quietly look at Yang Yi's face again, for fear that under his anger, he would suffer from the pond fish.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Yang Yi only frowned slightly, but his expression relaxed a little.

This made Ying Jin's heart very strange, and he continued: "Then there is the Liao side, Yelu Yanxi led 300,000 Liao troops to personally conquer, and engaged the Haoshu River in the west of Jinshan, Changzhi was defeated in a small battle, and now it is retreating north to Haile Water, Yelu Yanxi led the army to chase closely............
