Chapter 393: Forced Conscription
Li Chu was preparing, and Fang La was also preparing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the third day of the fifth month, there are two days left before the Dragon Boat Festival.
Liangzhejiang Road, Qingxi County, Weizhou.
Qingxi County was called CA County in later generations, and the famous Qiandao Lake in later generations is next to this Qingxi County.
This is also the area where the Huashi class is most severe.
Song Huizong Zhao Ji loves flowers and stones, especially Taihu Lake stone.
What is Taihu Stone called?
Taihu stone, also known as hole stone and rockery stone, is slowly formed by limestone after being eroded for a long time, and is divided into two types: water stone and dry stone. Water stones are slowly formed in rivers and lakes through water waves and erosion over time. Dry stone is formed by the erosion of acidic red soil by limestone in geological time. The shape is different, the posture is thousands, the Taihu Lake stone is clear and clear, it can best reflect the beauty of "wrinkles, leaks, thinness, and penetration", and its color is more than white stone, and there are few blue and black stones, yellow stones. In particular, yellow is rarer, so it is especially suitable for arranging parks, lawns, campuses, courtyard tourism scenery, etc., and has high ornamental value.
Taihu Lake stone is not only produced in Taihu Lake.
Qiandao Lake, named after the 1,078 green islands in this lake.
There are many islands here, and it is also the place where Taihu Lake stone is abundant the most, and it is also one of the places where the damage of Huashi is the most serious.
In nine years, the number of people here has plummeted by two-thirds.
Most of them starved to death or were killed by the government, and only a few abandoned their homes and chose to make a living elsewhere.
The fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Dragon Boat Festival.
This is a commemorative event, but since the beginning of the Huashigang incident, since five years ago, there is no concept of festival in Qingxi County, at most during the Spring Festival, you will be given a half-day holiday to go home for the New Year.
This year, I was extra cautious.
Several huge flowers and stones were salvaged from the bottom of the lake, and the people who should be in the bureau were particularly satisfied with these Taihu Lake stones.
With his satisfaction, the local people suffered again.
Since the location of these four boulders could not be loaded by a large ship, and there were shoals on all sides, the boulders could only be tied up by manpower and pulled out. This is a very large project, the local people have been recruited, each carrying a cannabis rope one after another, most of the body trampling on the bottom of the water, stepping on the mud and sand at the bottom of the lake to pull forward.
The linen cloth on the shoulders was worn out by the hemp rope, and nearly 10,000 people went to pull four big stones, but after half a month, they only walked hundreds of steps.
The officers and men shuttled back and forth on the lake in small boats, holding leather whips in one hand and fine wine and meat in the other.
The conscripted men did not dare to speak in anger, not even to raise their heads, and once they looked up, the officers and soldiers saw those eyes full of anger, waiting for either leather whips or various beatings.
It's not that no one has resisted.
The beaten man looked at the Shenlong Island in front of him, his eyes full of horror.
The killing of those who resist is only light, once this group of officers and soldiers is angered, they will be caught on Shenlong Island, that is the real cruelty.
Shenlong Island, this is a beautiful name for the heavens.
In fact, there are all kinds of snakes everywhere on Shenlong Island, regardless of whether they are poisonous snakes or non-poisonous snakes, you can see many of them almost one step on the island, once this group of officers and soldiers who have lost their conscience catch people on Shenlong Island, lock people up with more than ten hungry non-poisonous snakes, and let the snakes bite people to death......
I can only endure silently, endure, and endure this day when I don't know when it will end.
"Hurry up, pull hard for Lao Tzu."
Small boats shuttled across the lake, and the officers and men on board kept cursing.
These boulders themselves are unusually heavy, and now they are walking on the water, most of their bodies are in the water, and the soles of their feet are trampled on with mud and sand, and if they are unlucky, they will encounter some water snakes, snails, crabs, etc., which will taste good, and the officers and soldiers will not care whether you are injured or not, but if you find that you are snubbing, a leather whip is light.
On the deeper lake, a large boat is parked.
The two of them stood at the bow of the boat with the county order of Qingxi County.
Wine, already drunk.
I have also eaten the dish.
But this progress, there has been almost no progress in the past few days.
The face of this worshipper was gloomy.
Today is the Dragon Boat Festival.
In addition to the Dragon Boat Festival, there is also a day that no one else knows.
This day is particularly important.
The birthday of the official family.
Song Huizong Zhao Ji's birthday!
Zhao Ji's thirty-eighth birthday.
Originally, it was planned to offer these boulders as gifts on the birthday of the official family, and the favor of the Bo official family, but this progress could not keep up.
Should be discussed by the Bureau, so the date was postponed, postponed to the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, and prepared to be offered on the Mid-Autumn Festival, but now it is the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, and these stones are still in this Qiandao Lake, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is only three months away.
Three months, when the time comes, it will have to be loaded on the ship, and it will have to be transported all the way along the waterway, the boulder is so heavy, and the waterway will be delayed too much, where can this time be?
Ying Feng's side was already very angry.
Zhu Mian even dropped his wine glass several times, and they were sincerely afraid of making offerings.
Looking at this progress, if this progress continues, don't say that the Mid-Autumn Festival is in August, but I'm afraid that I won't even be able to reach Chongyang in September.
This enshrined to the Qingxi magistrate beside him and said: "Go and send 10,000 people again, since 10,000 people can't pull it, then 20,000 people, 20,000 people can't be faster, then 30,000 people, in short, when the rainy festival comes, if you can't load the ship for me, can you, the magistrate, continue to be a second word, you just wait for Lord Zhu's anger." ”
With a snap of his sleeve, the worshipper walked back to the ship.
In the shipbuilding, Pang Yanyan, the most well-known singer in Qingxi County, was waiting inside.
The anger of this worship, the county can't bear it, so it was replaced by this beautiful Qingxi Pang Yanyan to bear it, and after a while, there was an erosive tone inside, ahhhh
10,000 is not enough, then 20,000.
20,000 is not enough, then 30,000.
In short, it must be loaded before the rainy festival.
Rain Festival, May 13, Rain Festival.
That is, there are still seven days to go.
Seven days!
Where is seven days enough?
So Qingxi County Zun immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Jiande and sent it to Zhou Zun.
Requisitioning so many people at one time, and daring to time in such a hurry, it will definitely be easy to have an accident, this matter knows that the county does not have such a big right, and the state does not have such a big right, so the state zun wrote to the hands of the road transfer envoy, and asked the army to be stationed to protect and maintain the scene.
It was related to the construction of Wansui Mountain, and after receiving the news, Zhou Zun's side immediately approved it, and asked the 3,000 Xiang troops stationed in Shouchang to rush over, and at the same time let the 1,000 forbidden troops of Sui'an go over to help.
