Chapter 172 Forget things in a hurry
"Drag it down and behead it for public display, and then choose another loyal and diligent person to take over the two of them!"
Lu Ren gave a murderous order here, and the local Gong Cao hesitated a little and stepped forward to persuade: "Ling Jun, although these two people have been killed at fault, but in the old days, they were also loyal and diligent people who were diligent and thrifty, even if they had no merit, they had a little hard work. The Chinese New Year is approaching, and they are anxious to reunite with their families......"
Lu Ren didn't fight anywhere, turned around and shouted angrily: "So what? They are anxious to be reunited with their families, but if you look at the people here, they are all suffering! Well, I read that the two of them were still loyal and diligent in the old days, so I will give them a chance......"
Saying that, Lu Ren shouted loudly to the people who were watching: "Gong Cao told me that these two people were loyal and diligent in the old days, but I, Lu Ren, ran all day long, so I don't know, but everyone is looking at it, if you think that these two people are guilty and do not deserve death, I will spare these two people's lives!" ”
The onlookers talked in whispers for a while, and a few older elders came out to plead with Lu Ren: "Qi Yu Lingjun, what Gong Cao said is true, Tun Chang and Shui Cao Peng were indeed quite diligent in the old days, we are willing to intercede for it, please Ling Jun open the net, spare the lives of Tun Chang and Shui Cao Peng." In addition, the two elders have lived here for a long time, and they are quite familiar with the geography and folk customs, if they can take this as a warning and be diligent in farming, we can also rely on it. ”
"Please forgive your sins!" The surrounding people also knelt down together to plead for mercy, it seems that this tun chief and Shui Cao Peng usually do a good job.
Lu Ren frowned and looked at the somewhat ragged Tun Chang and Shui Cao Peng, and gradually the fire faded a lot. After looking around at the people of Tuntian who were all a little afraid on their faces, Lu Ren vaguely guessed that if he really clicked the Tun Chang and Shui Cao away, it would only cause more panic among people. And to tell the truth, with Lu Ren's temperament, he really can't do this kind of hand, and he just said that he was going to cut people.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Ren nodded and said: "Well, at the beginning of the new year, it is inconvenient to kill, and I think that you are diligent in dealing with things before the two of you, and everyone intercedes for you, and the right of the two of you to commit capital crimes will be recorded!" However, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living sin is unforgivable, otherwise I don't know how to use it...... Left and right, drag the two of them down with fifty canes first, and write down the other fifty canes for the time being! If you recidivize, you will be beheaded after the cane! ”
"No!!"
Gong Cao and the soldiers dragged the two down to play the board, while Lu Ren stood on a high place to inspect the situation of the submerged area while activating the chip to carefully compare. Fortunately, the information sent by Shirley contained several predictions of what might happen and corresponding countermeasures, and one of them was relatively similar to the current situation.
Lu Ren looked at it carefully for a while, then ordered someone to summon the head of the household and the subordinates under the head of the tun and Shui Cao Peng, and pointed at the map in their hands: "It's not too late to make amends, now it's too late for everyone to try their best to remedy it!" Here, here, here, and here...... Each of you shall take some of the able-bodied, and dig a ditch as soon as possible according to these lines;
The rest led the rest of the people to dig the ten hectares of land that had been planned here into another dividing pond, digging as deep as possible, and then digging a ditch with them to divert all the excess water. Now that it is the first month of spring, we must complete it as soon as possible, otherwise when the spring rain arrives, the water level will skyrocket, and there will only be more fields that will be flooded. This will not only delay the time for spring plowing and seedling raising, but also reduce the amount of land in the autumn harvest. Alright, go your separate ways! ”
The crowd immediately split up, and it wasn't long before the area was filled with hard-working bunkers. In fact, these people were recruited to grow grain in the fields, didn't they just hope that they would not go hungry again?
Lu Ren turned his back and patrolled around, but his brows became more and more furrowed. To be honest, because of this incident, Lu Ren's heart is very annoyed now, what could have been completed as long as he worked hard a year ago, but because Tun Chang and Shui Cao Peng were lazy, it became like this, and it is difficult to say how much time this area will lose. And at this moment, Lu Ren has another thing on his mind, but because of this incident, Lu Ren can't calm down and think about it, can he not be annoyed?
After walking a few more steps, Lu Ren's mood was really irritated to the extreme, and he suddenly snatched the hoe in the hands of a tunzhong and desperately hoeed against the land where the ditch was demarcated and dug a ditch. After hoeing a few times, he felt that the scribe's robe he was wearing was too much of a hindrance, so he simply took off the robe and threw it to the guards, while he gritted his teeth and slammed the ground up.
To be honest, Lu Ren's current actions are actually purely venting, but in the eyes of others, it is not like that. Do you think, Lu Ren is now Xu Chang Ling and Diannong Zhonglang General. And anyone who has a little insight knows that Lu Ren is already a "quasi-Jiuqing", and for these ordinary people and even ordinary scholars, his status is too high. And now Lu Ren, a person with a very high status, is "conceited", and based on the class outlook that was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people at that time, the incentive effect on the people is far more effective than impassioned empty speeches, and the psychological impact on the people is also terrifying.
A few elders in the tun couldn't stand it anymore, and someone called Qingzhuang to snatch the hoe in Lu Ren's hand, but Qingzhuang just stretched out his hand and was glared away by Lu Ren; Someone stepped forward to persuade him, but Lu Ren also ignored it and only cared about wielding his hoe to vent. There was really no way, someone touched the two guards brought by Lu Ren and wanted these two guards to persuade Lu Ren.
However, these two guards have also followed Lu Ren for a long time, and now seeing the extremely "serious" look on Lu Ren's face, they all shook their heads helplessly: "It's useless, Ling Jun is such a temper." Usually he is very good at talking, but once he gets serious, no one can persuade him, and he will not stop until he is exhausted. ”
"But Lu Lingjun's identity is respected, it seems that Lingjun is like this, but why do you want me to be ashamed? In case there is a mistake in Ling Jun's body under overwork, I will wait for his guilt! ”
One of the guards thought about it for a while, suddenly slapped his head, and whispered to the elders: "We can't be persuaded, but there is one person who can be persuaded...... Hurry up and invite Miss Wan'er to the post tent, only she can persuade Lingjun! ”
"Miss Wan'er? I see! ”
Lu Ren was slamming his hoe to the ground like he was dying, and it felt as if the ground had a blood feud with him. And after being busy for such a while, Lu Ren's body was already sweating, and he was so tired that he was panting. I just stopped and raised my arms to wipe my sweat......
"Lord!" A bowl of steaming tea was handed to Lu Ren, but it was Wan'er who had cooked it for Lu Ren at the post tent just now.
Lu Ren asked against, "Why are you here?" ”
Wan'er smiled and brought the bamboo cup to Lu Ren's mouth, which seemed to mean that she wanted to feed it into Lu Ren's mouth with her own hands.
Lu Ren remembered that this was in front of the public, and he looked embarrassed for a while, and quickly reached out to take the bamboo cup and drank a few sips. Taking advantage of this gap, Wan'er's hands pressed on Lu Ren's hand holding the hoe, and shook her head gently at Lu Ren. Lu Ren understood what Wan'er meant, and besides, he was in a much more relaxed mood after venting for so long, so he immediately handed the hoe back to Qingzhuang, and pulled Wan'er to find a clean place to sit down.
Wan'er took out a sweat handkerchief to help Lu Ren wipe the sweat drops from his forehead, and Lu Ren looked at the busy people and said thoughtfully: "Wan'er, how good do you think this is?" Like we were in Juancheng and Puyang before? ”
Wan'er pursed her lips and smiled: "The lord has forgotten how Xun Gong admonished on the day of the edict?" As the ruler of the people, the Lord does not have to do everything himself, but only needs to be in the middle of the dispatch. If you do everything yourself, it will be a lot of things and annoying, and when you are exhausted, you will make more mistakes. Besides, Xun Gong and Li Duwei also transferred a lot of people from Juancheng and Puyang who already had some experience in rice planting to come here, so the lord didn't need to be so careful. ”
Lu Ren stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of Wan'er's nose and said, "I really can't help you, I, Lu Ren, just have a lot of fire, and as soon as my Wan'er says a few words, these fires will also disappear." That's it, although there are so many farmlands flooded here, but now everyone can desperately remedy it, and spring plowing should still be in time. I was sweating all over my body after hoeing for a while, and my body was a lot dirty, and I had to ask you to boil water and bathe me when I went back in a while. ”
"The water was already boiling when Wan'er came."
Lu Ren pinched the tip of Wan'er's nose again, and laughed in a low voice: "Help me wipe my back in a while!" ”
Wan'er blushed and nodded slightly.
Lu Ren stood up and called a few leaders and ordered: "The plan of the year lies in spring, and you must not make mistakes when you plough in spring!" In the next few days, you must dig the pond and ditch as soon as possible, and there must be no more leaks! In the old days, the farmers in Juancheng and Puyang who followed me in Tuntian will arrive in Xudu a little later, and I will give priority to sending them here, and when the time comes, you will listen to the guidance of the farmer and plant according to the farmer's professor. If anyone dares to burn out...... You get the idea!! ”
After everyone responded to the order, Lu Ren took Wan'er and the guards back to the tent to take a bath and rest. It wasn't until Lu Ren walked away that a few elders, leaders, or something breathed a long sigh of relief. An elder looked at the crowd and shouted, "If you have ordered you to do this, why don't we follow his teachings?" If we are tired and we fail to be a leader, how can we be human beings? ”
As soon as these words were shouted, the people on the entire "construction site" were really playing with their lives.
In fact, many times, the so-called bad things will become good things as long as they are dealt with well. Of course, this "good thing" is also likely to be directed at a specific person.
In this way, Lu Ren was busy with the remedial work here, and the next day he received the news that Cao Cao was ready to send troops to recruit Zhang Xiu. As soon as he heard the news, Lu Ren felt a flustered feeling in his heart, because since he had made up his mind to do something seriously for a few years that day, Lu Ren was busy several times, and he had no time to take care of some things. And the Cao father and son are here......
"Don't have anything to do with these thick thighs and little thick legs!"
hurriedly summoned the person in charge of the tun to give a few instructions, and Lu Ren jumped into the carriage with Wan'er and the others and rushed to Xuchang City......
