Chapter 362: Evil Nature
"Oh my God, it's ......"
A middle-aged man couldn't help but be speechless. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The younger man next to him also sighed: "At first, we laughed at others, saying that they were a bunch of laymen, but I didn't expect it!" ”
The two of them glanced at each other, slightly embarrassed.
"Lord Xia doesn't know what it's like in his heart."
Xia Qing sneaked over there just now, and when he came back, he wilted, and he didn't eat or drink for a day, so he probably didn't feel good.
They didn't laugh at him either.
To tell the truth, not only Xia Qing, but also the people on the Ministry of Industry, together with the villagers and craftsmen hired locally, were very dissatisfied with the county lord of Rong'an, a woman, no, a group of women who were pointing fingers at the river workers.
Those ordinary craftsmen and people are just that, the identity of the county lord is there, the people are nobles, and what the nobles say is always not daring to question, but the people on the Ministry of Industry are worried.
Now it is the flood season, the water flow is turbulent, from time to time there is a danger of bursting the embankment, as early as three days ago there was a breach, fortunately found in time, finally blocked, did not cause a big disaster, but the big guys are all worried.
Now a woman suddenly appeared, and she was about to command the big guy to repair the river embankment and participate in decision-making, who can put her mind at ease?
They have been officials for many years, although the grade is not high, but they still have a sense of responsibility, and now the fate of the people of Li is tied to them, they can only tremble, do not dare to relax in the slightest, and when they encounter people who stir up the situation, of course, they hate it deeply.
Later, the above changed their minds, first let the lord of Rong'an be in charge of a section of river work, or the most difficult section, they were a little relieved, and even stepped up their work, almost desperately, all the local laborers were supported to work all day, and they didn't care about the labor, as long as they did a good job obviously better than that group of foolish women, presumably that woman could also know the difficulties and retreat, don't always mess around.
Xia Qing was especially active in this, he had hardly slept a few peaceful sleeps, and if he didn't say it on the surface, others could see that he wanted to make the county lord of Rong'an lose a big face.
A few days ago, they were busy with their work, and the lord of Rong'an stopped there, and he didn't know what to do, except for a group of women running around, not doing anything else, and those laborers were even more good at eating and drinking, only doing a little simple work such as a flat road, or they would gather together to listen to a woman's class, and it would be lively all day long, but they didn't see the river embankment to repair, and they also said that they were recuperating.
For this reason, Xia Qing went directly to Qincha, and wanted to scold the county lord of Rong'an, but in private, he was heartbroken countless times, saying that the woman had misled the country and the people.
Just after Xia Qing didn't know how many letters he sent to Jingli, the county lord of Rong'an finally started work.
And this start ......
The others couldn't believe it, they couldn't understand the speed at all, and it was getting faster and faster, and in just three days, there was a tendency to catch up with their progress, and it was conceivable that they would definitely surpass them after that.
What's even more outrageous is that the workload is not large.
The river workers worked in three shifts, ate on time, and had to rest after working for a while, and even if they worked, they seemed to be very relaxed, at least easier than the laborers on their side, who were as tired as dead dogs.
If you're not convinced, you can't do it.
Most of these people in the Ministry of Industry are convinced, they have been in the Ministry for a long time, and unlike other officials, they always trust capable people.
The lord of Rong'an is capable, and then a woman, no matter how layman, they have to obey.
Xia Qing has also been a little silent these days, but he has worked harder, and the oppression of those people is a little unbearable.
"Hey, fortunately, we have troops stationed here, and a group of farmers can't make a big fuss."
The common people can always be patient, as long as they can't stand it, they are allowed to drive, Xia Qing is in a hurry, forcing the people under his hands to work harder, but fortunately, he is not mean and cruel, these days he has not been less than his own way, using all kinds of relationships, to get good food and drink to support the people under his hands.
The people can eat a meal of white noodles every day, and they can eat enough, occasionally even a little oil and water, add a piece of fat to the dish, and live a good life, and work hard until they feel nothing.
If it weren't for the comparison of the lord of Rong'an, I'm afraid Xia Qing would still have a benevolent name.
Those people in the Ministry of Industry were amazed, but they didn't know that a group of girls under Hongchen's hands were so tired that they couldn't wait to lie down and never get up again.
They not only do physical work, running all over the mountains, but also do mental work, and their heads can't stop for a moment, which consumes more energy.
Hongchen also felt sorry for these girls, so much so that he shared most of the work with the great powers of the Yujue space, but at the moment, this matter, after all, is the first time for all the girls to do such a big thing, and they can't relax at all when they are tense in their hearts, they keep calculating, and they have to correct mistakes in time.
Of course, that kind of satisfaction is also an indescribable good taste.
In this era, where have they seen such an orderly work posture, according to a certain powerful person in the Yujue space, large-scale industrial production can shock all the guys who mean small farmers to the point that they can no longer speak.
Indeed, even the girls were shocked, and they also discovered for the first time that these things they had learned, as their own young lady said, were not useless, but had a great, great effect, and could turn the world upside down.
As women, they can not only do what men can do, but they can do it many times better than they do.
"It's going to be busier in the future."
Hongchen sighed.
In recent days, most of the people in the Ministry of Industry have recognized Hongchen's work ability, and they are very convinced, and they are naturally willing to obey the command, which is of course a good thing, everyone working together is much better than being disheartened, but the workload will become very large.
Seeing that the river embankment project on Hongchen's side was proceeding smoothly, many people from the Ministry of Industry came over to express their attitude, and they were willing to obey the command.
Only Xia Qing was a little unhappy.
A few colleagues know in their hearts that this guy won't last a few days, although he is stubborn, he can't see the situation clearly, and his character can still get by, if he can't even have a good character, he can't even do his current position in the Ministry of Industry with this temperament.
"What are you doing, what are you doing, what's going on over there?"
Several petty officials of the Ministry of Industry gathered together to drink tea and rest, and when they were talking about Xia Qing, they heard him shouting at the top of his voice.
Several people hurriedly walked over to take a look.
Several people digging stones not far away knelt on the ground, listening to the training obediently, and Xia Qing was so angry that he stomped his feet.
After asking, he found out that after making trouble for a long time, Xia Qing's sand and gravel couldn't keep up, so he asked him to demolish a broken temple on the mountainside to scrape together materials.
This is nothing, the time was urgent, not to mention the broken temple, even the houses in the local village were demolished, and the pots and pans had to be requisitioned, anyway, it was to leave an IOU, and finally calculate the money for the people, as for whether the people could not suffer losses, at least not too many losses, it purely depends on the conscience of Lord Qincha.
After all, the big guys are not stupid, the embankment is not repaired, it is not good for them at all, and they live by looking at the river all their lives, and the most commonly worshiped god is the dragon king, such a group of villagers, as long as it is for the purpose of repairing the embankment, they don't care about the loss.
There was a commotion at this time, purely because although it was a broken temple, I didn't pay attention to it at first, but when the temple was demolished, I found that there were three black Buddha statues inside.
I can't see it clearly, but it should be a Buddha and two Bodhisattvas, mottled and old, the lotus flower under the Buddha seat is gone, and there is a Bodhisattva missing a little half.
A man said: "In the end, there is still a Buddha statue in the temple, I don't think there is no incense at all, this, this ......."
If it is somewhere else, the villagers may not care too much about these things, they are all broken temples, it doesn't matter if they are demolished, who cares about the Buddha statue, but the local area is different, maybe there are too many difficult days, people are still very in awe of the gods and Buddhas, especially those who often work by the river, and they are even more reluctant to cause trouble when doing things.
Xia Qing's face turned blue with anger: "What kind of thing is this, it's just this broken thing, it's still a Buddha statue?" Okay, okay, come and two people to push this thing out for me, hurry up and work, how much work can be saved by demolishing this temple. ”
It happened that Hongchen led Luo Niang and Xiao Yan to walk around the river, and when he heard the movement, he also came over to take a look.
Officials from the Ministry of Industry hurriedly saw it.
"At this time, there is no need to be polite."
Hongchen shouted with a smile, glanced at the temple door, shook his head and said, "Lord Xia, don't dismantle it, the sand and gravel will not be available for a while, just take a rest and wait." ”
Xia Qing stiffened his face and said coldly: "We are not the county lords, we are court officials, and we don't dare to have a vegetarian meal." ”
Hongchen glanced at him, and knew at a glance that he was afraid that he would not be able to persuade him, so he simply didn't talk much, anyway, there should be no big incident, at most one person would suffer a little, and others would not be too implicated, so he turned his head and left.
Xia Qing snorted: "What are you doing in a daze, work!" ”
The people under his hands had to push out the Buddha statue with all hands and feet, it was not heavy, it should be wooden, and threw it aside, and began to dismantle the temple.
Those people didn't dare to do anything, and they still closed their eyes and chanted Buddha.
Several petty officials on the Ministry of Industry glanced at each other and didn't smile bitterly.
There was one who had a good relationship with Xia Qing, and couldn't help but sigh: "My lord, why is this difficult!" ”
Why do you have to offend the county lord, as an official in the court, you should also be kind to others, not to mention a county lord's mother, just a small official like a sesame mung bean, a small official, you should also be polite, who knows when you will be able to use others.
Xia Qing didn't care about it at all, and he didn't hear it.
When others saw this, they could only make a fuss from him.
A small turmoil was not a big deal, and soon the big guy forgot about it and continued to work.
Several officials of the Ministry of Industry also laughed in private: "I think the county lord of Rong'an is really good-natured, and he is not angry when Xia Qing is so squeezed." ”
"I'm not angry when I change it, looking at the way he jumps his feet, it's still lively, and it doesn't bother me anyway."
The crowd laughed.
Also, don't look at Xia Qing's troubles, everyone can see that people don't take him seriously at all, how much trouble he likes, people don't think it's such a thing, and Xia Qing can't understand it, and he thinks he's amazing.
Everyone is busy, and there is only time for gossip to say a few words.
Several officials of the Ministry of Industry rested for a while, relieved themselves, and went up to the embankment one after another.
If it had been in the past, they would have been satisfied, the people had sold their strength, and the progress of the project was not slow, but recently they have been a little unbearable.
Don't look at anything else, just look at the other side of the river, when people are working there, there are also a lot of people, but the lines are not messy, as if there is a special rhythm.
Responsible for digging sand and gravel, loading sand and gravel, repairing wheelbarrows, transporting, and those who help each other on the embankment, everyone is working, only doing what they are best at, doing it very skillfully and fluently, although there are many people, but the construction site looks neat and clean, and people work very smoothly, that feeling, as if the whole construction site is a whole.
"Hey, we can't watch Lord Xia be stubborn, and now is not the time to be stubborn......"
As he spoke, he heard an exclamation.
Everyone looked back, only to see Xia Qing's feet slipping, and he fell into the river, and was washed by the turbulent river and disappeared in an instant.
"There, there!"
Fortunately, the rope was lowered in advance, and sometimes everyone had to go into the water to work, which was also for safety.
At this time, Xia Qing pulled the rope hard, up and down.
A few watery people hurried down and got the people up with great difficulty.
Fortunately, Xia Qing had a big life, and he hadn't even fainted yet, but he was so frightened that he was trembling, full of embarrassment, mud and sand, and people were paralyzed on the ground, and he couldn't stand up for a long time.
"Hurry up, send it back to change clothes, it's not okay to get wet, hurry up, hey, why are you so careless."
Finally, when he finished vomiting, the people from the Ministry of Engineering stepped in, raised their heads and feet, and carried him to walk quickly like a makeshift shed.
But I don't know what's going on, just after taking two steps, the one who was holding his head crooked his feet, his hand unconsciously let go, and with a bang, Xia Qing's head hit a stone, and his face was bloody, and he rolled his eyes and fainted.
Ministry of Labor: "......"
That's it, just an accident, but they carefully carried Xia Qing back to the shed, but this guy still fell and bumped thirteen times, fainted and woke up in pain, woke up in pain and fainted again, and finally returned to his bed after a lot of tossing, but the person here just went out, and the roof collapsed over there, and when Xia Qing was pulled out of the ruins again, everyone looked at each other.
"Evil nature, this is evil!"
The group looked at the miserable Lord Xia, all speechless, no one dared to move him again this time, it's okay not to move, if he moves a few more times, he doesn't know what happened.
"Why don't you just leave it here and cover him a little to save him from the cold."
