Chapter 544: Chongyang

I couldn't update the code word well, and I'm sorry to say to you!

Fortunately, it's almost done today, there are no special circumstances, and it will be updated around noon tomorrow.

There is something going on at home these days, and it is almost eight or nine o'clock when I go home every day, and I am exhausted and inefficient at all......

------Off topic------

Approaching Chongyang, it is a crisp and sunny day in autumn, all the grass is spike along the way, the leaves are yellow and red, a gorgeous and brilliant color, not inferior to the spring scene. Yong Wangye, who is accustomed to enjoying the beautiful scenery and enjoying life, has completely lost the interest in playing and enjoying the scenery today, with a gloomy face all the way, beating horses and galloping, that look, as if he is rushing back to the capital and has something important.

On the second day, after eating a simple but delicious breakfast, Yang Jingyong rode a horse with a small maid to accompany the guard, and was guarded by everyone, and rode all the way back to the capital.

Seeing that the sky was dark, it was already the end of the hour, and it took nearly an hour to rush from Tongzhou all the way to the capital...... He had to hurry back before the gates of the city, otherwise the letter would not be delivered in time and would be delayed...... Even if Hou Ye doesn't know how to use military law, they themselves can't stand it!

Qin Yi took the letter, listened carefully to Hou Ye's instructions, repeated it word for word, and got Hou Ye's confirmation, so he took the order to retire, came out of the house, stuffed the letterhead into the cowhide letter bag around his waist, turned over his horse, and galloped all the way to the direction of the capital.

For a while, after finishing the letter, Qin Zheng put the pen in his hand on the pen mountain, picked up the letterhead and read it carefully, to make sure that there were no mistakes, omissions and omissions, so he dried the ink, filled in the envelope, called in Qin Yilai, and handed the letterhead to him: "Send a message to the old gentleman, let him be vigilant at night...... Just ask him to stay in the house these days. Tell him that when I return to the city, I will compensate him for two jars of 50-year-old lychee wine! ”

There is no hurry to name it for the time being...... Or, you can give them a small print...... It's never too late to become famous again at the age of one or enlightenment......'

Qin Zheng was in a rare relaxed mood, and he didn't pay attention to Yang Jingyong's strange appearance, snorted casually, lowered his eyes, and read his wife's letter carefully. After reading it twice, I asked for a pen and paper and began to write a reply......

Before he finished speaking, the man had already lifted the curtain and walked out, all the way back to the east chamber where he lived.

Yang Jingyong looked at the relaxed and happy face of the person opposite, as well as the letterhead he was holding in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and somehow, he felt that the smile on his face was a little dazzling, and he turned his eyes to get up, and put the letterhead in his hand on the table and said: "I'm really tired from running around for a day, so I'll go and rest early...... Tonight, you can rest assured that you can get a good night's sleep. ”

Thinking about it in his heart, his face was rarely relaxed, Qin Zheng raised his eyes to look at Yang Jingyong, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

At present, the project is progressing rapidly and smoothly, people's hearts are stable, and there is no need for two people to be staring here, King Yong wants to return to Beijing to participate in the Chongjiu Dynasty Meeting, and when King Yong returns, he will be able to return to the city...... The last time he gave birth to Brother Yun, he was ordered to go to Sichuan and Shaanxi; This time she gave birth, he must rush back and stay by her side! The Tang Dynasty had Wei Zheng to guard the royal driver, he Qin Zheng did enough for the country and the people, and also let him be a guardian for his wife.

Maybe it's because of the fact that the wife always pities the poor and the old, and the last time she entered the epidemic area alone to treat the epidemic people and resist the plague; This time the flood did not hesitate to let Zhuangzi resettle the victims...... Later, he pre-purchased food, cashed out work, etc., and thought of helping the elderly, weak, women and children affected by the disaster to survive the year of famine. Such a person with a pure and gentle heart will have countless living people, and he will surely accumulate countless yin virtues...... Such a person will definitely turn evil into good fortune and become auspicious in trouble...... She and the child will be able to be safe and sound, smooth and smooth!

I think my wife would be very happy to tell her about the situation of the people who have been resettled.

The quality and progress of the project are very gratifying, and as the official in charge of the river project, Qin Zheng is naturally also pleased. In addition, according to what he saw, most of the victims also accepted the cash-for-work payment, not to mention that there is no need for food and clothing, but at least they can support until the beginning of spring next year, and there will be no famine, and even tragedies such as selling children and daughters, and changing children for food.

Speaking of this, Yang Jingyong's words paused slightly, and then said with a smile: "The project is faster than we imagined, in this way, before the freeze, several bursting embankments can be repaired, and the rest, after the civilization in the coming year, will start immediately, and it will definitely be completed before the spring flood." ”

Yang Jingyong's eyes shrank slightly, and he thought about whether to tell Qin Zheng what he knew, but what he said was completely different: "In this case, I will return to the city tomorrow to participate in the Chongyang Dynasty meeting the day after tomorrow." You just work harder, keep an eye on the river work......"

Yang Jingyong's contemplative effort, Qin Zheng had already finished reading his wife's letterhead, while habitually rubbing the letterhead, he raised his head with a relaxed expression, his eyes swept over the letterhead in Yang Jingyong's hand, and said: "The sweetness of lunch, you can sleep soundly during the lunch break...... Don't worry about it for now. ”

Yang Jingyong, who grew up in the harem and has a few sons-in-law, obviously knows more about women than Qin Zheng, and also knows that before a woman is pregnant and gives birth, she will feel a few days easier...... To put it mildly, it is very similar to the return of a dying person, who can eat and drink, and is refreshed. Of course, the woman here is not the same as the dying person, the dying person is the last sunset of life, it is all an illusion; The reason why women can eat and drink during pregnancy and childbirth and feel relaxed is mainly because with the downward movement of the fetal position at full term, the pressure on the spleen and stomach is reduced, and the natural appetite increases; It is also for the same reason that it is easier to move, and the breathing is much smoother, and there is no feeling of suffocation and shortness of breath.

Yang Jingyong also washed it out, and saw a rare hint of relief on Qin Zheng's face. His eyes flashed, he walked over, and happened to catch the letterhead that Qin Zheng had put down, and after sweeping it, his face was not as relaxed as Qin Zheng's.

Qin Zheng took it, and as usual, he would first unfold Chen's letter and read it...... 'Lunch is fragrant, half a bowl of rice, a bowl of soup, and two or three different dishes', and 'take a nap for three quarters of an hour'. It's good to be able to sleep for three quarters of an hour in the afternoon......

Approaching the palm lamp, Qin Zheng returned to the station with King Yong, washed up briefly, and hurriedly handed over a letter to the guard.

Without waiting for Yang Jingyong to finish speaking, Qin Zheng decisively shook his head and rejected his suggestion, turned around and walked out of the courtyard where he temporarily lived, took the reins of the horse from the guards, turned over and got on the horse, and without waiting for Yang Jingyong, he drove the horse to gallop, along the Yongding River, all the way to Guanting Town upstream.

A flash of surprise and dissatisfaction flashed in Yang Jingyong's eyes, stared at Qin Zheng for a moment, and finally said: "Hegong has me to watch, you go back to the city to see ......"

Then, he said calmly: "It's time to go to Guanting Town today." ”

Yang Jingyong didn't say anything, just stared at Qin Zheng, waiting to see his reaction. Unexpectedly, Qin Zheng just finished reading his wife's letterhead, and after a short pause, he put it away, connected to the letter that Yang Jingyong had read, and folded it again.

Yang Jingyong was next to him, and without any scruples, he reached out and took the letterhead, unfolded it and quickly browsed it, a heavy worry flashed in his eyes, and when he turned his eyes, he saw that Qin Zheng had already regained his calm expression, and was unfolding the letterhead written by Qiu Chen and reading.

Because there is a letterhead report every morning and evening, the letter written by Chen is not long, only three or four lines and dozens of words. Qin Zheng swept it over, read the text message in a few breaths, and then turned his gaze back, falling on a few of the words, 'There is a possibility of activating at any time' and 'I can't sleep peacefully...... The night is less than two hours', Qin Zheng stared at a few words, and only moved away for a while, looked up at the clear sky, and let out a long sigh.

In this way, it was September in a flash, and on this day, just after breakfast, Qin Zheng received a letter from home in the capital. As usual, there was a letter written by his wife, but he didn't open it and read it, but first picked up another letterhead that was sent over and looked at it. This letter was written by Chen, and it was also sent along with Qiu Chen's letter every day. Compared with Qiu Chen's peace and tranquility, Chen's letters are truthful, one says one and two says, and explains his wife's daily situation in detail.

Yang Jingyong took Qin Zheng, a prince and a marquis, almost every day on the river work, dressed frugally, only with a small servant, and patrolled around. They don't necessarily really investigate anything, but with their dedication, those small officials who are accustomed to disobeying the yang and the yin and the oil are much more restrained, and the river workers and silver are used for the project to the greatest extent, and the treatment of the people is also fulfilled to the greatest extent...... On the contrary, Yang Jingyong and Qin Zheng brought from the Ministry of Industry officials with river engineering experience after inspection, they all said that the quality of the project was basically very good, except for a few need to be slightly repaired, it was almost a pass.

This year's conscription was different. Not only can you basically eat enough, but you also have hot salted ginger soup every day to ward off the cold. The shack is also selected from a higher leeward place, and the shack is padded with thick hay, and then covered with the people's bedding rolls, although it is not comfortable, but it is not too sad, and it will not be sick because of the invasion of dampness and cold. In addition, this time the conscription was not entirely unpaid work, and of course it was not a simple payment of wages, but a reward mechanism. The people were divided into teams of ten people, and the river workers were also divided into small sections with comparable amounts of work, and then a team drew lots and divided labor, and finally compared the rankings according to quality and quantity. The first place squad has the highest reward, and the second and third places also have rewards, but there are many less. Every 10 squads are a group, and every 10 teams are a section. The first place in the section will have another layer of silver...... In this way, everyone competes to win, lest they fall behind, and there is no need to supervise the work, and the project efficiency and project quality are high.

I can't eat enough and sleep well, and some of them are sick, even if the leather whip is pumped, the efficiency is not much higher.

In previous years, when they went out into conscription, they would not treat the people as human beings at all, and they could not eat enough to wear or sleep warmly in damp and windy shacks, and their bodies and bones were not so hard, but they would get sick in a few days. When I was sick here, there was no one to ask for medical treatment, and I carried the big life, and more soon became ill.

The half-sized children are still so sympathetic, although the river workers recruited over there are tired, compared with the previous annual conscription, they are too cruel.
