Chapter 292: Rice Planting
Real power, what real power do you want?" Song Duzong didn't care much at all, his purpose was very simple, that is, to please this group of ministers, constantly currying favor, as long as the relationship between the monarch and the minister was good, they would do things seriously for themselves, about what the Queen Mother said last time, he didn't hear a word.
The three of them thought for a while, and then said: 'If the emperor doesn't do this, as long as the ministers win the emperor today, then how about giving each of them the right to transfer troops?' If, what Wei Chen said is that if this Lin'an suddenly becomes chaotic one day, and the emperor doesn't know about it in the palace, then I and the other three don't have time to tell the truth, won't this matter be delayed?
"Yes, yes, the emperor, even the previous Lord Ji has military power, although it is not big, but it can also mobilize thousands of people, the emperor, we are so loyal to you, or you wait for me to wait for the tiger talisman, I don't have to wait much, I can mobilize 10,000 people at any time, how about it?"
Song Duzong thought it was a big deal, but he didn't mind at all at the moment, but chuckled and said, "Three Aiqing, I still think you have something big to say?" Hehe, this kind of thing is simple, as long as you can win me, then I will promise you. ”
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, excited in their hearts, they had been waiting for this day for a long time, but they didn't expect that they would really succeed today, which was really embarrassing.
So they began to fight crickets. Soon the winner was already divided, Song Duzong was defeated, his cricket had been bitten to death, and he had no power to resist, the gap was too big. The three of them knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers should die, I accidentally killed the emperor's worms, Weichen really deserves to die, damn it."
"The emperor must not blame Weichen, the competition, no one can control the crickets, the emperor said yes?"
To tell the truth, these three people are almost nonsense, they fully believe that Song Duzong will not kill themselves, and the reason why this is so is actually to act for Song Duzong. The latter laughed and said: "I said three Aiqing, you are too careful, and besides, I don't blame you, why are you so frightened?" Haha, get up, how can I blame you?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty....", they stood up.
"Three Aiqing, I am a good talker, I will never refuse what I promised you just now, you can rest assured, tomorrow morning, I will give you the tiger talisman, and I will never break my word."
The three of them were overjoyed.
At the same time, Song Qing finally took these 10,000 people on the road, and walked in the mountains and forests after leaving the city, a team of more than 10,000 people, whether it was an anti-thief haunt, or ordinary people fled far away after seeing it, which made Song Qing very depressed.
"Miss Yueyue, there are two lieutenants, you say, I'll wait for one. I have never bullied the people on the road, why are these people unwilling to come close to me, besides, Song will not kill anyone,"
Tang Yueyue said: "My lord, you don't know this, although you can't kill people, and you won't oppress the people, but the people don't know, and besides, you are a Qing official, but how can the people know?" Besides, they don't know you, so why aren't you far away? Sir, do you think so?"
Song Qing nodded, he ignored this.
"And my lord, it's hard to know that these local people have been bullied by nearby bandits, or nearby thieves, especially local officials, otherwise, I don't think they would be so afraid of us."
Song Qing was speechless, this topic was ignored by him, and it was true, but there was no way to explain the current scene at all.
"Hey, it seems that Song's anti-corruption road has a long way to go, and it is still very difficult on the way, and we still need to work hard urgently.
They continued to walk forward, and soon came to a field, where nearby people were planting rice in the paddy fields, and now it was the season for planting, so they did not dare to delay, otherwise there would be no harvest in the end of the year.
The team came to the open space not far away, and looked at the two old men planting rice in the field a hundred meters away, and at this moment Song Qing became interested, "Two deputy generals, you tell the husband to cook here, and Miss Yueyue, I will bring a team of 100 people to help with the work." ”
"Work? My lord, you don't look like a person who does rough work, and you're not afraid that you will catch a cold? Besides, the current weather, the water temperature is still a little low?"
"Yes, my lord, as for this work, I will leave it to the soldiers, and then I'll talk about you... Will ......" Before the deputy general's voice fell, Song Qing glared. "I said two, you are looking down on Song, let me tell you, I didn't have a lot of time to work when I was young, not to mention working in the fields, Song also went up the mountain to cut firewood, can you believe it?"
"Ah..... But sir, we still think you shouldn't, and besides, we have 10,000 people, what can't these people do? Do you say?"
Song Qing had a resolute attitude, he had already decided, this matter had to be done, and no one could stop it.
"Okay, Miss Yueyue, do you really think Song is some kind of playboy, don't you? Besides, I know my body in my heart, I know better than you, now is also the time to go to the field activities, and Yueyue girl, I think you should also go to the field to do work, besides, you are a woman, these jobs will have to be done in the future. ”
Song Qing took the lead and walked out, followed by Tang Yueyue, followed by her. Hundreds of soldiers, they are ready to go and help with the work.
When they went down to the paddy field, the bodies of Song Qing and the others quickly attracted attention, and the two old men were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
They don't know what's wrong, they work hard here, don't steal or rob, and never do anything wrong, why did they come to the government?
"My lord, my wife and I have met my lord, but I don't know why I came?" Song Qingdao: "Old man, we're not bad people, it's just that we just want to come over and take a look, and by the way, help the two of you plant the rice."
They were shocked and planted seedlings for themselves? Or someone from the imperial court, what exactly does this mean?
The two immediately knelt down and said: "My lord, you better go, we are just grass people, where can I use you to help, besides, we are not high-ranking officials."
Song Qingdao: "Old man, you are serious, Song is just doing some work for you, it's not a big deal, besides, I'm not a high-ranking official, right?"
The two old men couldn't refuse at all, only to see Song Qing facing everyone behind him:
"Everyone took off their shoes and went into the water with Song, and today I just need to help finish this field.
The soldiers did not dare to refuse, and they acted one after another, so hundreds of people began to act, and Song Qing began to miss the life when he was a child, when he was carefree.
It only took them an hour to finish this field, and if it were two old men, the speed would be a hundred times slower.
When the people came to the shore, they said gratefully: "My lord, thank you so much, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how long the old man would be busy, if it weren't for you, I would have waited for a few days."
Song Qing chuckled, "Old man, you are serious, as an official of the imperial court, Song Mou should solve problems for you and do some farm work for you." ”
"To tell the truth, the officials of the imperial court should not only sit in the high hall in the yamen, Song felt that they should go to the countryside to take a look and see how the people here lived.
In the distance, the two deputy generals had already prepared the food and could eat it, and he shouted at Song Qing, signaling that they could go to eat.
Song Qingdao: "Old man, let's go, Song has something to ask you now, and at the same time, how about I plan to invite you to lunch today?"
They were shocked in their hearts, they couldn't afford to eat the food of the court officials, and if they were to blame, what would they do?
"I said, my lord, we are already very happy if you help us and my wife do the work, but about eating, why don't we leave it at that?"
Tang Yueyue opened her mouth at this moment, "Two old men, don't shirk it, okay?" Do you know who we adults are? He is Song Qing, the criminal officer of the Great Song Dynasty. "Song Qing? Sure enough, not surprisingly, the two of them looked surprised, and then they were overjoyed, although the word Song Qing was not as good as Song Ci, but it was also famous, and many people in this area had heard of it.
"Dare to ask my lord, are you really Lord Song Qingsong? Why don't we believe it?"
Song Qing laughed and said: "Old man, no matter how bold I am, I don't dare to pretend to be a person from the court, this is a capital crime, don't you say?" Also, people can be impersonated, but if you look at the 10,000 people on the other side, these people are quite difficult to find. ”
They finally believed it, and they were very excited at the moment, Song Qing was a Qing official, and everyone knew it.
So, they returned to the shore and brought food to the deputy general and the deputy general Yun, and the old people ate it in large gulps, and they were busy for a long time, and they were indeed hungry at the moment.
They picked up the food and began to eat it, and the fragrant taste spread very widely. "Old man, Song asked you, what is the name of your place, and how is the officialdom here?"
The old man said: "My lord, our place is called Mafeng County, and there are about 400,000 people in the county.
The old woman also interjected: "We are not from the officialdom, I don't know this, and I don't know much about going into the city, and we don't know anything about the things in the city."
Song Qing nodded, it's really like this, so now you can understand.
"What about your son, old man? Why didn't he come to help with this kind of work of planting rice in the fields?"
"Work? This thing has already joined the army, hehe, I don't know when I'll be back, but Lord Song, can you help get in touch? It's been several years since this thing went to the barracks, and I don't know when I'll be back. ”
