Chapter 42: The Canal

She seemed to come out of nowhere, the beginning of all the stories about her. It's all Scarlet Garden, I heard that she came to Yandu to look for relatives, but she had no money to rely on, her mother saw that she was pitiful and good-looking, so she taught her. became famous overnight, and the prince of Yandu stepped through the door, what kind of evil should this be.

But she only sells her art and does not sell herself, and this rule has been set since she entered the Scarlet Garden, and there has never been any change. It seems that she deliberately hid her origin. Otherwise, Yulinwei's forces are all over the country, and there is no news at all. Anyway, it's just a woman, what kind of storm can it set off, he blamed himself for being suspicious, he felt that he must not have rested well, and went back to sleep.

The lights in Nanli's imperial study have been on, and it has been a long time since the last drought. But recently, there seem to be signs of resurgence, he looked at the handwriting under the light, vigorous and powerful, that was written by Chen Ziyi, since the last time, he ordered him to be the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, to deal with the affairs of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it has been a long time since he was in a trance.

He vaguely felt that the drought was unusual, but there was no evidence, that time too many officials were implicated, and it almost shook the country's capital, this time, I don't know how many people will be involved, his brows are furrowed, his thin lips are pursed, it seems that everything is in a plan, and he, in the passive execution, the court that has just calmed down for a few days, once again fell into chaos. It seems that the other party is coming to the world.

Chen Ziyi only briefly talked about the situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there was no rain for days, the high temperature was unbearable, the people were impetuous, and chaos was frequent. He looked at those four sentences and began to analyze the situation and develop a strategy. He replied to Chen Ziyi, meditate, don't be delusional, balance, and purge.

The secret letter was quickly passed to Chen Ziyi through the post station, he looked like he had not yet reached the age of standing, young and calm, standing in front of the window with his back hand, thinking about something, suddenly someone outside the door lightly buckled, he pushed open the door only to see a piece of paper sandwiched in the crack of the door, and the person who sent the letter was gone. He picked up the letter and closed the door, just a few lines, and couldn't help but laugh. It's really a treasure of words.

Since he said that he would not move, he could not let the people go. In the hot summer, he found some people who knew how to heal. Treating the people, he didn't know when it would rain in this weather, and he looked at the sky, even at night, it was hot and dry.

After days of running, he was already very tired, but at this moment, turmoil suddenly started. I don't know who took the lead in making trouble, the team was in a mess, and the people were already hot. The emotions are unstable, coupled with the chaos of the scene, and they can't suppress their anger and fight. originally

They fought and saw Chen Ziyi in the crowd. When he heard that something was going on outside, he hurriedly put on his clothes and came out. He saw a stocky figure, the clothes looked familiar, and he was about to take a closer look at the man but it was gone. He was surrounded by people, and the people rushed to ask him for an explanation, and he had no choice but to look to the sky.

said that it was for me to come out and avoid trouble, but I ended up in a lot of trouble for myself.

"Listen to me, folks, this governor knows that you are afraid of a repeat of the drought of that year," as soon as he said this, the people looked at each other, and they all saw a look of panic in each other's eyes, "but this governor promises here that he will protect you and come up with a solution as soon as possible." Please give Chen a little time, and give yourself a little time to calm down, thank you very much. ”

The people looked at him suspiciously, and it was only after a while that he dispersed, and suddenly the silence came down, and some of the ground under his feet had been cracked, and now, only by opening the river and building a canal and diverting the water of the Jin River to irrigate, could it be solved from the root.

He summoned some of the following county magistrates, advisors, security chiefs, centurions, etc., and proposed a plan to open the river and build canals, but many people held opposing opinions.

"Lord Governor, this terrain has been generated since ancient times, if you change the landform without permission and open a river to build a canal, I am afraid that it will anger the earth immortals, please think twice."

"Yes, my lord, the people here are outstanding people, and it has been a treasure of feng shui since ancient times, but now if the landform is changed, I am afraid that it will hurt the country."

"My lord, my subordinates think that there may be another way, so it is better to discuss it again."

Chen Ziyi looked at this group of old stubborn and scolded pedantic, "Do you think this feng shui is greater than people's livelihood?" The country has no people, and now the people are suffering, and you are actually discussing the treasure land of feng shui with me, everyone is really relieved. ”

The people who said something lowered their heads, and they wanted to say something, but they didn't dare to speak. looked at each other, and finally stood up, "Subordinates obey orders." ”

Chen Ziyi's face softened slightly, "Find an expert who understands water conservancy, and then recruit workers, remember to provide steamed buns and side dishes, and pay one or two per person every day." ”

"One...... Two? The official said incredulously. Chen Ziyi glanced at him, "The people are not slaves, they work hard to support their families, and they should be treated kindly." ”

Several officials were speechless, and they went down to arrange, and as soon as Chen Ziyi waited for that person to arrive, he immediately went to the old canal to check. A dense anthill was found, "a thousand miles of embankment, collapsed in the anthill." ”

These people have one set in front of them, one set behind them, and someone in front of them is meticulous in supervising the work, and after Qifeng returned to the dynasty to report on his work, it didn't take long for him to start loosening. He grabbed a handful of soil, compared the soil quality before and after, there was a clear difference, he had a general understanding in his heart, and spoke to the people behind him.

"Mr. Labor, check the problem with the canal. Then map out a new map of the canal construction, hard work. ”

"The official is polite." The man walked from the end of the canal, measuring the scale, checking the material, and investigating it inch by inch, it was late, Chen Ziyi was a little tired, he patted the man's shoulder, it seemed to be very strong.

"Sir, I've worked hard for you, I'll go back first, if you have something, you can go to the Qingyue Inn to find me."

The gentleman waved at him and went to check the canal again. Chen Ziyi looked at him, he was really an interesting old man, and he still looked like an idiot who studied the geography of mountains and rivers.

The gentleman's deep eyes sparkled when he saw people walking away, and he half-squinted at the young man who was gone. It's still a little shallower. He sighed inwardly.

This canal has obviously been manipulated by people, and it is very bold to be able to move under their noses without realizing it. Is their purpose just to create panic? He can't think about it, and he doesn't want to think about it anymore, so let's send a letter to the young master. See what he means.

The ghost turned around and left the old ditch, went to the cave, found a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write about the situation here, and let the carrier pigeon go out.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ziyi hadn't slept yet, when she saw a pigeon flying in the air, she took the bow on the side casually, bent the bow and shot the arrow, and the pigeon fell to the ground with an arrow, flapped its wings a few times, and then lost its breath.

Chen Ziyi called for someone to pick up the pigeon. A soldier took the little pigeon, Chen Ziyi caught a glimpse of the note tied to the pigeon's leg, so he untied it, unfolded it was some incomprehensible symbols, it seemed that the content of the letter was still very long,

He tried to apply it with a developing pen, but to no avail. Set it aside. The faint candlelight reflected on the paper, and the handwriting was faintly visible.

He had an idea in an instant, and roasted the paper on the fire, and the handwriting inside slowly became clear, at this moment, a wild cat suddenly came out, and the paper fell into the fire, and he hurriedly took out the paper, which was already blurred, and most of it was burnt, only a few words, Su, Wang, Mu, Yi. He thought about it for a long time, and roughly guessed that someone was in contact with Yandu and secretly reported the matter here, but the pigeon was dead and the clue was broken.

The ghost master released the pigeon, and he was a little uneasy, so he sent a dark line fast horse to Yandu to report it. After a while, someone came over, "You are so careless, if it weren't for my cat, you would have almost missed the master's big business." ”

The ghost master suddenly panicked, and he asked tentatively, "Is it Chen Ziyi?" ”

"yes, he's in the way. If it weren't for the fact that the master was not allowed to move, otherwise it would not be his turn. The man said hatefully. looked at the ghost master with a disgusted expression, "Be more stable in the future, don't spoil the master's plan, Chen Ziyi is not as simple as you think." ”

The ghost master was silent, thinking that he was old and couldn't do things neatly, so he would be more cautious in the future.

Think of the situation on the other side of the cliff. He thought it was better to go and see it in person, after all, it was the lifeblood of the master, and he walked along the path for a long time before he came to the cliff and watched the soldiers on the cliff drill.

Different from the training of ordinary soldiers, the soldiers here are all real swords and real guns, Jin Ge Iron Horse sword qi is horizontal, life and death, only the strong have a reason to stay, and the weak can only be eliminated. In this world, natural selection and survival of the fittest, so if you want to stand tall, you must have more reasons to stand on a high place than others. It's not in vain, it's been in the red dust for many years.

The ghost master sat on the Taishi chair, quietly enjoying the performance in front of him, he always felt that the explosion of people at the time of life and death is the strongest, he believes in the bottom of the kettle, and also believes in life to death. The team he wants to give to his master is the strongest, most well-trained, and most explosive dragon guard in the world. He looked at the person in front of him and was very satisfied.

Due to the interception of the carrier pigeon, a few days had passed when Su Qi received the news, and the person who delivered the letter was embarrassed and discouraged, "Master, the ghost master asked me to hand this over to you." Q: What are your instructions? ”

Su Qi read the letter and thought that he didn't do it this time. So who could it be? He thought of someone, but he wasn't quite sure. He wrote a reply to the ghost master with a pen, telling the man to rest for a day and then go back.

Su Qi thought, Long Weijun didn't know what to do? He mentioned it in the letter, hoping that it would be as he wished.

In the palace of Chenguo, Nanli was still looking for the lost inspector list, he didn't go to the Scarlet Garden that day, and when he came back, he found that the list was lost, he searched everywhere, but he didn't see it. He had a bold guess whether there was Su Yu in this palace, otherwise how could he disappear out of thin air, he wrote a new list from memory and put it in a secret position.

As for the person. He will spy and always find clues. His dangerous eyes narrowed, did he want a thrill? So. You can play bigger.
