The heavy rain finally stopped for many days, and although the sky was still cloudy, and there was still light rain falling from time to time, it did not cause the river to swell, let alone cause damage to the embankment.

Although the danger was lifted, the disaster relief army did not evacuate as soon as possible, but continued to strengthen and maintain the Jinghe embankment under the leadership of officials of the Ministry of Industry after Fang Jun and Cheng Yanjin discussed. In ancient times, it was very difficult to carry out such a huge project, the food and wages consumed were still in small amounts, and the most important labor was too difficult to organize.

Don't be deceived by the records of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people's construction projects in the history books, except for the construction of the emperor's mausoleum, which is tacitly approved and supported by the people of the world, the imperial court will never dare to recruit people on a large scale.

Lack of transportation and low productivity have determined that once the large-scale recruitment of civil servants will affect the production situation of one or even many state capitals, in this society where the people live on food, the planting and harvesting of crops will be delayed, and the result is that countless people will starve to death......

Unless it's a dumb and incompetent monarch leading a court of corpses, no one would do such a thing.

The construction of the Great Wall by Qin Shi Huang and the excavation of canals by Emperor Yang of Sui were among the reasons for the collapse and decline of a prosperous dynasty......

Therefore, once the army withdraws, the Jinghe embankment can only rely on the local government to organize people to repair and repair the land during the agricultural slack, which is not only limited to the lack of manpower and cannot solve the fundamental problem, but also because of the exploitation and corruption of officials at all levels, the situation will be more meaningful.

Don't say anything like "Zhenguan Shengshi" and "Officials rule Qingming", history is written by people, and "having a cheap and not taking advantage of the bastard" is one of the inferior roots of human beings, no matter what dynasty, it is impossible to completely insulate from the word "corruption", it is nothing more than the severity of the matter.

The reason why "Zhenguan Shengshi" has been famous through the ages is because during this period of time, Qing officials and honest officials occupied the mainstream of the court, and the merits of the martial arts all over the world were really too many points......

The local officials in Jingyang were naturally overjoyed to see that Fang Jun was willing to help repair and strengthen the embankment, and called on the local people to contribute to the maintenance of the embankment when the flood receded, so as not to cause Jingyang to suffer from flooding.

Fang Jun naturally did not need to stay at the dam to lead by example, but moved into Jingyang County with Cheng Yanjin and the two of them.

Speaking of which, in fact, after the flood retreated and the embankment was saved, there was no such thing as Fang Jun here, but he was all in the same mind as Cheng Cheng to bite the gold, and he didn't want to return to Chang'an now to get involved in the fluctuations caused by the Jinyicang case, so as not to get into trouble......

"Speaking of which, Your Majesty is arresting the Yuan clan of Youzhou, why does you, the assassin of Youzhou, seem to have nothing to do?"

In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, His Majesty Li Er's feudal hero, Cheng Yanjin was awarded the history of Puzhou Thorn, renamed Lu Guogong, and the real food was 700 households, and the descendants inherited it from generation to generation. Soon, Cheng Biting Jin envoys supervised the military affairs of You, Yi, Tan, Ping, Yan and Yan, and Youzhou.

"Hehe, are you really stupid or fake stupid? At the beginning, His Majesty really wanted to imitate the feudal world of the Han Dynasty with our meritorious heroes and princes, but this kind of thing was really a big taboo, so I asked for your father and the eldest grandson Wuji to resign. Now although a certain person still has the title of a Youzhou assassin, he is just a remote leader, and he can't do it. ”

Fang Junxin said that this is the case, but even if he is a remote leader, he also has an extraordinary influence on the military of Youzhou, or is this the prototype of the feudal town?

It wasn't until five days later, when everything was safe on Jingyang's side, and there was no longer any reason to delay the stay, that the two of them led a group of officials and the right guards to set off for Beijing.

*****

The first thing after returning to Beijing was naturally to explain to the emperor, Fang Jun and Cheng Yanjin went directly to the palace to meet the emperor before they had time to go home to bathe and change their clothes.

After staying in Jingyang for many days, both of them were sour and unkempt, it was said that it was a bit rude to meet the emperor like this, but what about sleeping and making them a difficult task this time? The heavy rain is overwhelming, the flood is turbid, and under such circumstances, it can ensure that the Jingyang embankment is not lost, so that Jingyang City and Xianyang and other places are not affected by the flood, which is really a great achievement.

Moreover, it is the current image of such a haggard and embarrassed person that can show how they completed their tasks in Jingyang under a difficult environment......

In the officialdom, there is always a need for some acting skills to set off the credit, blindly doing stupid and brutal work without complaining about hardship or tiredness, sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing......

When the two arrived at the palace gate, they asked to see His Majesty, and learned that His Majesty was now meeting the ministers in the Liangyi Palace, so they went straight to the Liangyi Hall accompanied by their inner servants.

When they arrived at the door, the chamberlain entered the courtesy, and returned after a while, bowing down and inviting the two to enter.

Fang Jun and Cheng Yanjin tidied up their robes slightly, seeing that each other was unkempt and dirty, and the official robes were all traces of rain and cement stains after drying up, they glanced at each other and nodded, Cheng Yanjin was in front, Fang Jun was slightly behind, and walked into the hall together.

In the main hall, His Majesty Li Er was laughing and laughing with people.

The two entered the hall, bowed down together, and said loudly: "Cheng Zhijie, the general of Weichen Zuo Wuwei, and Fang Jun, the squire of the military department, see Your Majesty!" ”

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said: "I have already seen the twists and turns that the two of you have submitted back, and this time we will try to ensure that the Jingyang embankment is not lost, and the two of you have worked hard. I have always had clear rewards and punishments, so the credit will naturally not be buried, and there will be a reward later, both of them are pillars of the empire, and they still need to be diligent in state affairs and do their best. ”

The two hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, worrying about the country is really a matter of duty, and I dare not accept Your Majesty's reward." ”

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand disapprovingly: "You two deserve it, why do you need to say these polite words?" ”

Only then did the two of them say, "Thank you, Your Majesty for the reward." ”

Looking at the "embarrassed image" of the two of them, His Majesty Li Er knew in his heart that this was an invitation to merit...... However, he never cared about the courtiers playing a little trick to get benefits, as long as he could sincerely do things and contribute to the country, what reward was he reluctant to give?

"Come on, come on, give me a seat quickly, you two are not in a hurry to go home, first get to know a sage."

His Majesty Li Er's face was full of spring breeze, and it seemed that all the depression and resentment brought by King Jin had disappeared without a trace......

Fang Jun was a little surprised in his heart, who could make His Majesty Li Er smile all over his face, and not even let the two of them go back to change their clothes?

looked up at His Majesty Li Er, but saw an old man with crane hair and a childish face sitting on the couch, stroking his snow-white beard, and looking at him with a smile.

Fang Jun drew a soul in his heart, this old man looked very raw, but why did he smile at himself, and this smile seemed to be meaningful?

I don't understand......

His Majesty Li Er turned around and smiled at his old man: "The Taoist is a long man who travels all over the world and has an ethereal immortal trail, but he should also listen to the name of biting gold in the process, right?" ”

The old man twisted his beard and smiled: "Breaking Song King Kong, capturing Dou Jiande, and descending to King Shichong, the prestige of the demon king of the mixed world is resounding throughout Hebei, and the old Taoist is not an immortal outside the world, how can he not be as good as Lei Guan'er?" ”

Cheng Yanjin listened to this old way as if he was commenting on the tone and posture of a junior, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, but a random thought jumped out of his mind, could it be ......

"But in front of Daochang Sun?"

"Hehe, that's the old way."

"Oh, my old Cheng is really fortunate to be able to see you, a living immortal, with my own eyes, which is rude and rude."

Where is Cheng Biting Jin's slightest bit of momentum?

There was a smile on his face, but the stubble on his face like a gun and a halberd made people look really funny......

Fang Jun was a little stunned, and he hadn't turned the corner yet.

I saw His Majesty Li Er pointing at Fang Jun and saying, "Don't use me to introduce this kid, right?" I think I have an old acquaintance with the Taoist chief, and he summed up the strategy for dealing with the wounded in the army according to the teachings of the Taoist chief, which really opened up a way for hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, and made countless wounded soldiers get rid of the doom of disability and death. There is also a little girl who is free to be infected with qi disease, and it is this kid who listened to your words and let the little girl eat sea fish every day, and the disease of qi disease has not been committed again in the past two years. ”

Hearing this, Fang Jun's eyes straightened.

No way......

Could it be that this old way is Sun Simiao?!

!

I didn't use this old reputation to do things, disinfect spirits, and lied to His Majesty Li Er that my son's illness should eat more sea fish...... Strictly speaking, this is all a bully!

Everything else is okay to say, His Majesty Li Er really regards his son as the pearl of his palm, although his son's condition did improve a little after eating sea fish, but he deceived him and said that it was Sun Simiao's idea...... If His Majesty Li Er knew that he was talking nonsense about his son's illness, would he slaughter himself in a fit of anger?
