Chapter 300: Supervising the Great Wall

"Don't panic, they have good intentions to protect the young master." He can explain with a smile.

In the entire capital, there is no such hospitality, and most of the people who come to Yanfu will be frightened by the family members.

When the master comes back next time, I have to ask the master to persuade the young master to change this habit.

Yan Chengjin remembered that Wu Kuan would hang up in one year, that is, next year.

In the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials became Jiao Fang.

So, I remember this very well.

Wu Kuan said without enthusiasm: "The old man won't bother." ”

took Wu Huan out of the main hall, and before he reached the gate, he instructed: "This person is Yan Chengjin, you must not interact with him in the future." ”

"Remember Daddy's teachings." Wu Huan carefully hid the booklet.

Wu Kuan saw that he didn't take it to heart, and said seriously: "Li Zhaoxian, the son of Duke Li, went to sea to Hainan after correlating with him, and Xie Pi, the son of Duke Xie, went to Liangxiang to toss some science.

You are trying to prepare for the imperial examination in three years, and you are not allowed to study these people. ”

Thinking of Li Zhaoxian, who didn't know life and death, he couldn't help but sigh.

The next morning.

Emperor Hongzhi remembered the progress of the Great Wall, so he asked the Ministry of Works: "How is the Great Wall being repaired?" ”

"Returning to Your Majesty, it is being built westward from the Boluo Fort in Yansui, and 920,000 displaced people have been recruited."

In order to speed up the progress of construction, Zeng Jian sent several master books who were proficient in repairing to go with him.

When the Qin Dynasty built the Great Wall, it took more than two million people.

Now 920,000 is nothing.

It's just that during the Qin Dynasty, in order to catch up with the construction period, forced labor was called like animals, and tens of thousands of people died on the Great Wall every year.

An extra day of delay will cost you an extra day of rations.

For the imperial court, it is extremely uneconomical.

Yan Chengjin was a little relieved that the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty was not in a hurry.

There was no Tatar invasion outside, and there was plenty of money and food inside.

The imperial court also invested a large number of war horses in the construction of the Great Wall for pulling stones.

"Your Majesty, winter is about to begin, and I also ask the household department to allocate some summer grain as soon as possible, and when the heavy snow closes the road, the grain is not timely, but many people will die."

Yan Chengjin guessed that at the end of October, there might be the first snow.

It will take one month to transport grain to Yansui in the northwest.

Now that the grain has been counted and shipped out, it has just escaped the first snow when it arrives in Yansui.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "What Yan Qingjia said is true." ”

"Your Majesty, Annan's envoys have come to pay tribute, what do you think you want to reward?" Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, asked.

At this time, the king of Annam was Li Hui.

In the year of Yan Chengjin's imperial examination, the old king of Annam died of illness, and Li Hui came to Daming to ask for begging to be canonized as the new king.

Annam often invaded Yunnan and did not pay tribute as much as the Koreans.

The imperial court did not understand the situation in the southwest.

Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while: "Give the king of Annan, Li Hui, a pair of crowns, a regular suit, and a golden rhino belt." ”

Yan Chengjin stood up: "Your Majesty think twice, Annan often intrudes on Yunnan,

It is better to give him 8,000 sets of four books and five classics, so that he can cultivate himself and be a good person. ”

The old man's face twitched slightly.

Dai Shan's face also changed, but when she saw that Yan Chengjin had no one else, she looked at Emperor Hongzhi.

"The minister thinks that what Yan Chengjin said has some truth."

After thinking about it carefully, Qin Hong said: "Annan has already paid tribute to our court, and he only gave him a book as a return gift, which is really too contemptuous.

And now that the southwest is stable, why bother.

If you ignore it, it may lead to border disturbances. ”

After Li Li obeyed the Ming Dynasty, Annam maintained a tributary relationship with the imperial court.

Although there were no large army attacks, the border was often infested by Annamite people.

Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a moment: "Compromise, the regular clothes are also given, and the book is also printed and distributed 5,000 sets to send to Annam." ”

Zhang Sheng bowed slightly: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

……

North-west, Boroburg.

Zhang Xian looked from afar, and thousands of homeless people carried huge stones and piled them up on the city wall.

During the drive, the walls of Fort Polo were destroyed.

Zhu Hui decided to set the starting point for the construction of the Great Wall here.

"Baoguo Gong, now that the displaced people have been moved to the northwest, it is time for the lower officials to return to Beijing to resume their lives."

Zhang Xian bowed slightly towards Zhu Hui.

The construction of the Great Wall was built by the Baoguo Gong, and his task was only to attract displaced people from Jingxiang.

Winter is coming soon, so it's easier to walk before the snowfall.

"The public of my country sees that you are quite qualified, so why don't you stay here?"

Zhu Hui didn't want to build the Great Wall.

Once the walls were built, the Tatars could not enter, and the battle could not be fought.

And let him stare at the construction site, he couldn't stay still, although Zhang Xian had a straight face every day, he was very reliable.

Let Zhang Xian come to the construction site to keep an eye on, and he will be able to wander around.

"I'm afraid not, Xiaguan is the magistrate of Liangxiang, how can he leave Liangxiang alone."

Zhang Xian ignored the anger on Zhu Hui's face.

What about Baoguogong, it is also not as important as a good township.

Lord Yan said that the imperial court had silver to build the Great Wall, which could relieve the displaced people in Jingxiang.

It is all due to the silver that Liangxiang receives every year.

Zhu Hui was annoyed and angry, and pulled out a knife on Zhang Xian's neck: "If you are a prince of your country, you can be promoted, what to do when you go back to Liangxiang!" ”

"Guogong drew a knife and threatened the imperial court officials, and one point was deducted." Fang Xue is like an expressionless scoring machine.

This point deduction mechanism was proposed by Yan Chengjin and sealed by Emperor Hongzhi.

Because Zhu Hui has a record of "not being subject to foreign military orders".

In order to better supervise him, this system was established, so that Fang Xue could report to the court in time.

In this way, the Great Wall can be better supervised.

When Zhu Hui heard this, he was overjoyed.

I thought I would soon be able to accumulate 100 points and return to the court.

But when he saw the bonus rules, he realized that it was too difficult......

Daily Tasks:

Go to the city wall and round it three times,

Go to the straw hut to comfort the injured homeless people once,

Lead by example, carry stones to the city once,

Personally give porridge to the homeless for an hour......

If you do it all, you can stick to it for a year.

The added score is only five points.

I don't know which person who has lost his conscience has set such a cruel and inhumane rule.

"Humph! Hugh should be taken seriously. Zhu Hui hurriedly put away the sword, deducted one point, and had to work for half a year.

He also didn't accept such rules, but he had His Majesty's big seal on his head!

I have already disobeyed His Majesty once, and there is no possibility of forgiveness.

Even if he is a prince of the country, it is the same.

Hearing this, Fang Xue crossed out the reason for the deduction of points.

I admired it slightly in my heart, and after these daily tasks, Bao Guogong was quite convinced among the displaced people.

Many homeless people support the protection of the country, and they work hard, and they do not need to be urged by the officials.

There were no riots against the homeless.

This is really difficult to see in the construction of the Great Wall in previous dynasties.

"Then tomorrow, the official will return to Beijing to resume his life."

Zhang Xian cast a grateful glance at Fang Xue.

Fang Xue was a talented man, and everything in the military camp was well organized.

When he returned to the capital, he also reported to Yan Chengjin.

"More than 200 meters were repaired in ten days, and after the official left, there was a labor master." Zhang Xiandao.

Fang Xue nodded, a little embarrassed: "Tell the old brother for me, can you bring my wife to Yansui ......?"

The Great Wall was repaired for ten years, and if I didn't go back, my wife and children ran away with others.

"I will definitely bring Lord Fang's words."

……

In the past few days, Yan Chengjin has been waiting for news from Wu Huan.

Drawing a comic is not difficult for a hand speed party like Wu Huan.

There is only one possibility, Wu Kuan is too strict with him and does not allow him to leave the house.

Yan Chengjin decided to go to Wu Mansion.

"Old Gao?" Zhu Houzhao's figure appeared in the alley.

It looked like he was resurrected with full blood, and his complexion was excellent, and he walked over happily.

"You're going to Liangxiang?"

"The minister is going to Wu Mansion, if His Royal Highness is fine, go back to the palace."

Yan Chengjin didn't dare to take him to Wu's mansion, and when Wu Kuan saw him, he might be impeached.
