Chapter 57: Hope

Su Xun was extremely embarrassed, and what embarrassed him the most was not that he told Zhang Fangping about Yun Zheng's words and thus led to the consequences of Yan Zheng, but what really embarrassed him was Yun Zheng's bright smiling face.

Now the summer grain is being harvested, Zhang Fangping has mobilized almost all the people of Chengdu for this, the fields are full of busy people, God bless, this year's rain has not come yet, Zhang Fangping won the bet, in any case he grabbed a season of summer grain for Chengdu Mansion, with these grains, plus the grain transported from Hanzhong, Chengdu Mansion at least has rations that can make a living.

Zhang Fangping won, Yun Zheng's situation is very embarrassing, there is no problem with food, so now the problem is the water conservancy in Dujiangyan.

Yun Zheng's body was covered with mud, standing barefoot in the mud, only a mouthful of big white teeth could show that he was different from others, Su Xun stood on the river embankment, and for the first time began to hate his big mouth.

Zhang Fangping was still satisfied, looking at the sergeants who were cleaning up the mud with interest, he didn't care much about the miserable situation of people, he was concerned about the clever way of working, the people who were densely covered with the riverbed in the past were gone, only 500 people were clearing the mud, the big stones in the silt, the small stones were no longer found, for such a work progress, Zhang Fangping felt more and more that his decision was right, whether it was marching and fighting, or doing these rough work, there must always be a person who was familiar with the books of the sages to command, Only in this way can we make up for the shortcomings of the lack of education of those low-level soldiers.

He is a doer, whether it is right or wrong, he always advocates doing it first and then speaking, and his boldness is outrageous. God blessed this stupid boldness, first gambled on the right weather, and then made a ghost to get Yun Zheng to Wu Shengjun, no matter how dangerous the course of the matter was. The end result was very favorable to him.

Yun Zheng climbed up from the mud, Zhang Fangping laughed and patted Yun Zheng's shoulder, not caring about the mud on Yun Zheng's body.

"It's good, young people should be trained like this, polished for a few years, and it is not difficult to become a pillar of talent!"

Yun Zheng was a little shy. Rubbing his hands seemed to be very flattered, the mud on his hands fell down, seeing Yun Zheng's expression, Zhang Fangping smiled even more happily, he hadn't seen arrogant young people, but those crazy people often don't really have the ability to do it, except for a mouth, it can be said that it is useless.

Regarding Yun Zheng's arrogant expression, Zhang Fangping thought that Yun Ye was attracting his attention, so that he could find a career for himself, which was understandable. If he can't enter his field of vision, he will be useless even if he has the ability.

Now most of the dredging work of Dujiangyan has been completed, and only a little silt is left that does not affect the flood discharge of the Minjiang River. Why do you insist on removing the silt? ”

Yun Zheng clenched his fists and replied: "Shangguan's order is to clean up the river, not just pull out the stones, since the humble position has become the Marquis of Duyu, it is natural to clean up the river cleanly and thoroughly, whether it is stones or silt, it is within the scope of your order, naturally dare not slack off!" ”

It was because of this sentence that Zhang Fangping began to look at the humble and somewhat old-fashioned young man in front of him. Needless to say, the stones were cleared out fifteen days in advance, which is not something that ordinary people can do, and it is especially rare that he can make the Jiazi Battalion of the Wusheng Army in the shortest possible time, from a pile of mud. They looked a little like soldiers, and just by looking at the neatly piled stones on the embankment, they knew that they were very well planned, not a rabble.

The young man is proud of the man, but the young man who is willing to stand in the mud and take the lead in the work, this is rare, although this young man's basket does not contain much silt, unlike other soldiers, that is, because it is half a basket of silt, it can be proved that Yun Zheng is really working, not perfunctory, filling a large basket of silt and dragging this kind of work, that is something that can only be done by the military Hanmen, and a scholar can not carry a basket full of mud.

"The Jiazi Battalion of the Wusheng Army is loyal and reliable, and the salary of this month will be increased by sixty percent, and if it can be completed on schedule, it will be an eternal example."

Yun Zheng immediately knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists to thank the defender for the reward, and shouted: "Thank you for the reward!" Peng Jiu saw Yun Zheng kneeling down, although he didn't know what the marshal said to the general, but his ears were sharp, and when he heard Yun Zheng's roar, he immediately kicked the stupid sergeant next to him and knelt down, and shouted with Yun Zheng at the top of his voice: "Thank you for the reward!" ”

Zhang Fangping has been greatly satisfied, both psychologically and facedly, Wen Yan encouraged Yun Zheng to make persistent efforts, so he took the servants into the carriage and rushed to Chengdu Mansion, Su Xun wanted to say a few more words to Yun Zheng, but was stopped by Yun Zheng with a wave of his hand, pointed to Zhang Fangping who was far away, and signaled him to talk later.

Su Xun sighed, and went to chase Zhang Fangping, Peng Jiu stood on the river bank with a pergola in his hand, and saw that Zhang Fangping's convoy had gone away, and said to Yun Zheng, who was still working: "General, the defense envoy is gone, don't do it anymore, the sun is too poisonous, you better take a bath and lie down in the shade for a while, this has been working for a while." ”

Yun Zheng thought for a moment and shook his head, Zhang Fangping of the dog day is a tricky and difficult to serve Shangguan, if he doesn't get it right, he will kill him, and then his appearance will be ugly.

Besides, if you have already gone down to the mud, then you can honestly do a day's work, which is a necessary thing to do, both from the perspective of human feelings and reason.

So, he lowered his head and continued to load mud into the bamboo basket, and the soldiers next to him all rushed to help Yun Zheng carry the basket, and it was not his turn to continue to work at all.

Liang Ji actually came out of a martial arts family, I heard that there will be a health regimen called Baduanjin, seeing that Yun Zheng was sore, and when the monkey and Han Niu helped the head of the family take a bath and lay on the bamboo bed and hummed, the shaking pillar in the Baduan Jin, the single open wheel, the left and right wheels, and the left and right pressed the top to give it down, Yun Zheng's appetite was opened, and the pig-like meal in the military camp was also eaten by him violently Two large bowls, and the gaps in the bones were relaxed.

After eating, I rode a horse to patrol the camp, the brick kiln behind the hill has been lit for two days, I don't know what the effect is now, as long as the first kiln bricks are successful, then build a few more kilns, just selling bricks must be able to have a good income, brick and tile factory, as long as there is enough soil, it will continue to produce green bricks.

Yun Zheng did not allow the sergeants to cut down the trees by the river, and the firewood needed for the kiln could only find those dead trees, but such days would not last long, according to Peng Jiu, every year the Minjiang River can rush down countless firewood from the upstream, as long as you wait by the river, there will be firewood, and it will not be used up, it is very terrifying when the water is in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, it is completely a roaring beast, don't worry about the problem of firewood.

Yun Zheng carefully looked at the fire hole, it was very good, the firewood in it was almost burning now, and there would be bricks in one day, as long as the temperature of the stove slowly cooled down.

"Peng Jiu! You are here to watch these bastards, not allowing them to go out again, just got two stinky money, go out to visit the kiln, what do the wives and children eat when they come? The next time I send money, I don't send it to them, I want their mother-in-law to receive it, and if I dare to ask for money, I will beat them to death. ”

After Yun Zheng counted the number of people who burned the kiln, he was on fire, and more than a dozen sergeants actually went to the town on the side to find a secret prostitute, and they have not come back until now.

"General, the brothers have been sleepy for a long time, and they haven't smelled a woman for a long time, so you will spare them once." Peng Jiu himself is also a hungry ghost, of course, he must beat the side drum first.

Yun Ye glanced at Peng Jiu and said: "If you want a woman, marry one and go home, how to sleep is your own business, in the future, the army will often send money, like this, when you are a soldier all your life, you will be a poor ghost, and when you get old, you will be like a fucking lonely ghost, and you will be a person who goes out and loses Lao Tzu!" ”

When Peng Jiu heard that money would often be sent down in the future, he immediately came to his senses, straightened his waist and said loudly, swearing to whip all the perverts who came back in a while, if the general didn't give everyone money because of these bastards, this would be a fatal thing.

There are many rules of the lord, this is nothing, the big guy can endure at most, and now he can't go to find a woman, and when he returns to the camp, there will always be a time to rest, and with money, women will always have it.

It was not only Peng Jiu who was secretly happy, but Liang Ji was also secretly happy, and kept looking back at the copper coins on the ox cart, a whole three carts, although at first I didn't understand why the lord had to put two silver judgments in people's sleeves when he saw the fat official in Dujiangyan, but now he understands, and said that the stone money of 1,000 guan has now become 1,300 guan, the reason is that there are many stones, and he will follow this practice in the future.

Liang Ji knew that these conventions included giving away two silver judgments, but the extra three hundred yuan made him very puzzled, there was no comparison between the three hundred yuan and the two silver judgments, why didn't that stupid official take three hundred yuan instead of the two silver judgments he gave him? After I go back, I have to ask the general, maybe it's a university question, and that fat official looks like a fool no matter how he looks at it.

Liang Ji very much hopes to see his children come over early, the lady alone with two children in Zhijiang still don't know how to work hard, now the food is not cheap, I hope the ghost head can get to Zhijiang soon, and the three of them can have a full meal early.

"There is also my old Liang in this money." Liang Ji stroked the box with his hand and was very happy, not only Liang Ji, but also other sergeants stared at each other, and when others looked at these money boxes more, they would all glare.
