Volume 3 Jiang Nandang Chapter 250 [Washing the Dust]

The official road expansion project repaired by Huang Jie in Huangzhou has been unanimously recognized by people from all walks of life and people in Huangzhou.

Even his handy sentence "If you want to get rich, build roads first" is now popular in Huangzhou, and it is true that after the four-lane road from Huangzhou to Gwangju is repaired, the speed of travel between the two places is much faster. The most obvious thing is that the vehicles that used to travel between the two places were all going along the ruts, and the ground in some places was hard and unhindered, and if it hit the yellow mud or soft mud ground, the ruts would be deeper, and then they had to move out of this section little by little at the slowest speed.

And Huang Jie commanded the repair of the road, first of all, rammed earth as the base, and paved with three inches of thick gravel in the middle, the top layer of the loess stirred and steamed triple soil tamped into the tamped form, but also on both sides of the shoulder dug a special for drainage of the ditch, the combination of rammed earth and gravel and triple soil makes the hardening degree of the road extremely high, and the ditch cleverly discharges the water that may appear on the road, so that the road surface is not easy to rut, and it is easier for vehicles to increase speed, so the new road is naturally much better than the original yellow mud tamping official road.

It's just that there are not many people who can explain the truth in this, even Sun Li can't understand it, but he frowned and said: "Although the four lanes are good, but now they want to repair from Taihu Lake to Anqing City, who will raise this money and grain?" ”

Of course, Huang Jie already had a belly case, so he said: "I'm staring at the sign of the transfer yamen, transporting grain and grass for the imperial army, naturally there is a name for doing things cheaply to bear the responsibility, such a road construction, naturally the imperial court comes to pay for food, what are you afraid of?" ”

"It's just ......" Sun Li thought about it and felt that Huang Jie was right, in order to transport grain and grass to the imperial army. It is also necessary to build a road, but I always feel that something is wrong. He said, "It's just ...... Your four-lane regulations are also a little stricter. Besides, it's time-consuming......"

Huang Jie said with a smile: "The eldest brother thinks more than the court officials, but the country road has been destroyed by the thief army, and it is unbearable to use. ”

Sun Li was ridiculed by Huang Jie, and he knew that he was indeed talking too much, and now he used the money and grain of the imperial court to cultivate the official road, and he really didn't need to say much, but after listening to it, he still said to Sun Xinqi: "The township road has been destroyed by the thief army? I haven't heard of it! ”

Sun Xin also smiled: "Da Lang said that it was destroyed. If the destruction is not enough, why should the road be built? ”

After listening to his younger brother's joking, Sun Li was stupid and enlightened, so he didn't say much, and only asked how to place Di Hao, Wang Tietou, Ren Sanniang and a group of minions.

Huang Jie said: "Now that we have Liu Qi's 100 Japanese soldiers as escorts, we don't want to make more trouble, so we asked them to pretend to be people and hide, and it just so happened that the first batch of military baggage sent by Huangzhou arrived this afternoon." It's just right to turn around. ”

Naturally, there was no problem with such an arrangement, and immediately asked someone to lead the minions down to settle down, and then Huang Jie also personally arranged a meal of wine and food with the three of them to wash the dust, and the banquet could be regarded as a general understanding of the situation of Wang Tietou and Ren Sanniang.

Let's talk about Wang Tietou first. This man is now in his forties, and his name is majestic, but he is a little thin. But it looks a little shrewd and capable, and one side of the country has a short beard on his face. Roughly it looks like a Northland man.

As for his origin, it is a little scary. According to his own words, he was a native of Yizhou, Jingdong Road (now Linyi, Shandong), and he was after Wang Lun, the "thief and tiger winger".

This Wang Lun is Song Renzong, Jingdong Road Yizhou City Xiang Army "catch thieves and tiger wings" of a capital head, in May of the third year of Qingli (1043), Wang Lun was oppressed by Zhu Jin by the inspection of Shangguan, led more than 100 people to revolt, killed Zhu Jin and recruited troops to go south to Huainan Road. In July of the same year, the Song army besieged it at Quarry Rock in Jiangning Prefecture, and the rebel army was defeated, and Wang Lun was captured and died.

And this Wang Tietou, claiming to be Wang Lun's great-grandson, fished incognito in the Jiangning Mansion when he was a teenager for a living, and later also worked as an archer and a post man, but he was also bullied by Shangguan, and killed people in a rage.

As for Ren Sanniang, she is a half-old in her early thirties, and her appearance is also called a beauty, and Sun Qiniang generally makes willow leaf double knives, her husband's surname is Xie, and she was originally a big family in Shouzhou, and there are both farms and fields in the house. That Zhang Chao is said to be Cai Jing's disciple, Chongning two years (1103) parachuted to Shouzhou as a regimental training envoy, after the arrival of the lion opened his mouth to loot everywhere, the Xie family was originally a big family in Shouzhou, and the exchange of gifts is also that, how can it be controlled by him, it provoked Zhang Chao to be annoyed, so that the scheme took away the Xie family's property, and the family was full of men were imprisoned.

And this third lady was originally a person from Qizhou, and his ancestor had also been a military marquis under the command of Song Taizu, and his father was even more in the Wu'an Army Zhe Keshi (Zhe Keshi, the word Zunzheng, the Northern Song Dynasty border general, the famous general Zhe Kexing was a son, and was the commander of the Zhejia Army) He also had a set of family martial arts inheritance.

Ren Sanniangzi saw that all the men in the family would be killed, and there was no way to sue for the lawsuit, so she simply sent all the female dependents to Qi Chun's mother's house, and broke into Zhang Chao's house alone to kill him, and then led the servants to attack the Shouzhou prison to save the Xie family's men, and then hid in the Shouchun countryside.

It's just that the government is very anxious to catch the sea, and after hiding for a few years, she simply settled in the tea mountain, and her husband died of illness in the first year of Zhenghe, and the Xie family had no one to take charge of, so she became the female leader and guarded the South Chashan Road to make a living.

This man is a good man, and the woman is also a woman, and it is also a happy event to be absorbed into the Heavenly Dao Alliance, Huang Jie saw that the two of them had also been recognized by Sun Li, so he naturally did not have any doubts, so he also treated them warmly. Just took a closer look and found that the lady at the banquet was not looking at the autumn spinach that Sun Li often mentioned in his dreams, and there was no doubt that Sun Li was afraid that he would provoke Hongluanxing.

After the banquet has been close to Shen, there is a messenger to report, Huangzhou sent the grain and grass team is less than five miles away from Taihu County, Huang Jie also led people out of the transport army village to meet, and I saw a team of donkeys and mules pulling a convoy coming from afar, the total number is more than 200 cars.

Just hesitating, suddenly hit the east of the official road rushed to a fast horse, when close to see that it was staying in Shucheng to inquire about Zhu Gao, from far to near he saw him eagerly jumped off the horse and said: "The big thing is not good!" Da Lang, Tong Guan sent 3,000 cavalry to the south, an hour ago had arrived in Luzhou, I heard that after a little rest, they would be sent to Anqing overnight. ”

Huang Jie was taken aback when he heard this, and said: "Don't go to Gushi and Lu'an, but go to Shouzhou and Luzhou?" Tomorrow will be August 15th! (To be continued.) )
