Chapter 964 - Start work

An official who accompanies the people under his rule through the nightmare of the sores, no matter how much he does, he can gain the support of the people.

After a good wash in the alcohol pool, when entering the lime pool, Li Shimin asked: "Liu Rong, after the Zhuzhou incident has passed, I am afraid that the imperial court will have a reward." As a magistrate, you did not escape this disaster, and you also took appropriate measures everywhere, and it is estimated that you will be promoted by two or three levels. ”

The lime water is more uncomfortable than the alcohol pool, Liu Rong was grinning, and when he heard the words of the emperor, he hurriedly returned to his normal expression, and arched his hand and said: "I am tired of the emperor's thoughts, and Weichen is grateful, but you have also seen that Weichen's appearance is completely ruined, and he will be promoted two or three times in a row, and he will be transferred." It's just that when he leaves Zhuzhou City, this cheek will inevitably be pointed at. Therefore, Weichen dared to ask the Emperor Taishang to call the shots and let Weichen stay in Zhuzhou, only in Zhuzhou, Weichen can live at ease. ”

The pockmarked face after the sores is terrifying wherever you go.

Although Empress Jincheng could no longer interfere in court politics, Li Shimin still agreed. Making an exception for this dedicated official is nothing.

After washing their bodies with willow branch water, several people could only smile bitterly when facing the scene in front of them.

More than 6,000 people had recovered from the city, and now they were all prostrate on their knees, and only the two children were kneeling, just because they were holding their clothes.

Such a scene is rare, even Li Shimin, who is used to watching others kneel and watch, smiles comfortably.

Even if there were no announcements, no nagging from the officials who delivered the meals, the people knew what the court had done to them. Since ancient times, trust and love have not appeared for no reason. Only the imperial court, which really treats the people as ordinary people, can have long-term peace and stability.

Stretching out his hand to scare Leng Feng, Li Shimin stood behind Li Tai and made up his mind that he was not completely naked and appeared naked.

Leng Feng was not embarrassed, cleared his throat and said: "The world says that a dynasty that can feed the people and make foreign enemies fearful is a prosperous era. I think it's a bit perfunctory to say this, according to my opinion, only human life is no longer a mustard, and the dynasty where all parts of the world are united is prosperous. You don't have to be grateful for the imperial court sending troops over this time, because you are all the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court can't overestimate how much you cherish it.

But ah, merchants, nobles, and others, you must be grateful. When I left Chang'an, the 30,000 troops couldn't transport all the supplies. These materials were all donated by merchants and nobles, and even the people of Chang'an, without asking for anything in return, and even without remembering their names. Even if they don't ask for anything in return, you can't just leave it at that.

You've all experienced the horror of sores. When Liu Rong ordered the blockade of Zhuzhou, don't hate him, he did it for the safety of other places. If the sores flow out of Zhuzhou, it will be the most terrifying scene. Now that you're healed, I still don't dare to pack a ticket and say you'll be fine. The primer of the sores will remain on people for a year and a half at most, and from now on for a year and a half, I will take you to dig a canal. When this time is over and the introduction is gone, you can go home and reunite with your family, understand? ”

The people all stood up and nodded their heads like chickens pecking rice.

Taking the clothes held by the two children, Leng Feng slowly put them on.

It's not a luxurious garment, it's a durable linen garment, and then I'm going to work in the canal, and it's useless to wear it well.

After everyone was dressed, a rocket with an eight-bull crossbow was fired into Zhuzhou City. With a few muffled sounds, the monstrous flames burned.

Looking at Zhuzhou City, which was engulfed in flames, many people fell to their knees and cried.

The people who are infected with the sores are generally a family, and the separation of life and death in the city is a common phenomenon.

Liu Rong was full of tears, and other people had their families dying in the city, so why didn't he. Gao Tang's old father had only enjoyed a good life for two years, and he was taken away by the demon of the sore.

Destroying a state city is also a helpless move. Although people can enter here after a year and a half, the sores are too terrifying in the hearts of the people, and without experiencing a baptism of fire, this state city will definitely be affected by gossip.

The fire burned for a day and a night, and the people watched from outside the city for a day and a night.

When the light of the fire gradually became invisible, and only thick smoke remained, Liu Rong led the team towards the place where the canal was dug.

There was no need to post notices, and people from other places who were recovering from illness continued to join the ranks along the way. Obviously, he went to work and was confined, but no one was hiding.

The excavation of the canal is just four words, but only after arriving at the site can you understand what kind of project it is.

The ditch, which is more than 300 meters wide and 10 meters deep, needs to be dealt with with by hoes and shovels.

One is draped diagonally, the top person digs the soil and throws it down, the bottom person digs the floating earth and puts it in the basket, and then stuffs the stones to the top, and the rest is to carry the soil to the distance with a flat pole.

The most primitive way of working, just watching makes people feel a sense of powerlessness, but the key people don't care at all, digging the soil laughing, picking the soil also laughing. No one thinks it's compulsory work, no one thinks they're in confinement, they all think they're doing what they're supposed to do.

Li Shimin did not become an uncle, but took a shovel and joined it, Li Tai saw his father working, so he could only follow.

In the evening, the food was the same as in the city, which made the people who had recovered from their illnesses blindly moved.

Li Tai had several hand bubbles on his hands, grinning in pain but not daring to scream, because as long as he screamed, he would be kicked by Li Shimin.

"It's all a delicate life, when I led a thousand soldiers to spend the winter, it was a hundred times more miserable than this. At that time, in addition to the iron armor, there was a layer of linen clothes inside, and it was covered with chilblains, didn't it still win? ”

The people like to listen to the emperor's bragging, and they always come to the neighborhood to listen to Li Shimin's stories when they eat. Of course, they still can't get too close, although Li Shimin is working, there is no shortage of guards around him.

An emperor told military stories to the people, and when he talked about the wonderful places, the whole people played a swing, just like a cult gathering.

"Master, if we continue like this, we won't be able to reach our goal for a year and a half, and the manual work is too laborious."

Knowing that Li Tai would have an idea sooner or later, Leng Feng asked, "Then do you think of a quick way?" After many years of teaching, you can't still find a master for everything at this time. ”

With the master's permission, Li Tai decisively threw away the shovel the next day, grabbed a few soldiers and the people who had been carpenters, and went into the forest.

Within a few days, wooden wheelbarrows replaced the flat poles. When the steel sent by the imperial court was in place, all the wheelbarrows were split and burned, and a small railroad track was laid on the construction site.
