On the day of the trip, Shen Congxi and Yan Shiyi went to the city gate to see them off. At that time, none of them expected that Zhao Muzhe would be gone for three years.

Zhao Muzhe said with a smile: "I'm on the water bar anyway, I went to the southeast coast to fight pirates in the early years, and now I go to control the water of the Yellow River. ”

"Don't worry at home," Shen Congxi patted him on the shoulder: "Jingshu will often go to see Mrs. Zhao." By the time you come back, maybe the children in your wife's womb have been born safely! ”

Jiang Jingshu is Shen Congxi's wife. Zhao Muzhe's wife Liu Zipei has been pregnant for more than a month, and the emperor and queen don't know yet. This is about to go, and Zhao Muzhe told Shen Congxi about it.

By the time the emperor and empress knew, Zhao Muzhe had already taken the team and was two hundred miles away from Beijing.

The queen asked Ji'er to go to the Hou Mansion and left a female doctor to stay in the Hou Mansion to take care of Liu Zipei. Zhao Jiamin also got married this year, and there were two fewer people in the Hou Mansion, and it was empty all of a sudden.

Zhao Muzhe and the others were not like before, where to go to the Yellow River, Ruan En suggested, they went all the way to the middle and upper reaches to find the first section of the Yellow River blocked river.

Ruan En pointed to the distance and said, "Instead of finding another place to dig a canal to divert water, it is better to use the old channel of the Yellow River." Dredging the old river channel is economical and convenient, and it can also facilitate the irrigation of the cooked land next to the old road. ”

Zhao Muzhe also agreed with his proposal. According to the old water map, we found out the original site of the old river.

However, after the diversion of the Yellow River, the river beaches on both sides of the old river have been transformed into fertile land, and if the water is brought back, these fertile fields will inevitably be lost.

Sure enough, when he found the local Li Zhengyi and said, he was immediately strongly opposed by Li Zheng: "Lord Qincha, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, we ordinary people have to pay public food every year." Although King Cheng has always been generous, he only collects 20% of the grain, and when this water is soaked, where can I find 20% of the grain......"

"That's right, this marquis actually forgot, this is King Cheng's fiefdom!" Zhao Xiaohou is happy, King Cheng is his old partner, with him, this matter will definitely be solved.

He also ignored Li Zheng, who was still nagging, and said to Zhao Dong and Zhao Xi: "Let's go, let's go directly to King Cheng's Mansion!" ”

King Cheng was really overjoyed to see Zhao Muzhe, and when he heard about his intention, King Cheng praised: "Your method of expanding the middle stream and saving the downstream is good, and this king supports you." Isn't it just a few plots of land? I will find another piece of wasteland, let the tenants move them collectively, and exempt them from taxes for eight years, there is no disagreement! ”

King Cheng was not idle, with Zhao Muzhe, out of money, dredged the old river channel of Sunjiadu, after the Yellow River flowed, greatly relieved the downstream water potential, the second year of the flood season came, seeing the rushing Yellow River water to Sunjiadu generation of obvious water slowed down, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

With the support and help of King Cheng, Zhao Muzhe and Ruan En were even more ambitious, and they personally surveyed the hydrology along the river to find the cause of the Yellow Flood.

They built embankments on the north bank of the Yellow River to divert the river on the south bank, while planting trees along the river to stabilize the sandy soil on both banks. In just two lines, Zhao Muzhe worked hard for three years, and he also ordered the water workers to record the pros and cons of these water control methods in detail in the "Chronicles of the Hydraulic Engineering of the Heavenly Empire".

In the more than 10 years since Zhao Muzhe received the order to control the water, the Yellow River has not experienced large-scale flooding.

Zhao Muzhe spent three New Year's Holidays by the Yellow River, and when he returned to Kyoto, his sons were already more than two years old. Father? I don't know!

Zhao Muzhe was funny and sad.

The next day, when he returned to the court to resume his life, the emperor had not seen his friend for more than three years, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion when he saw him like a farmer.

The emperor rewarded Zhao Muzhe and transferred him to the left servant of the Criminal Department, changing from a military general to a civilian official, giving him more room to play.

After more than three years, it happened that Xie Yuanyu returned to Beijing, the old prince had passed away for two years, and Yilan gave birth to their eldest son, who was three months old. This time, Xie Yuanyu only came back with the county lord of Danyang.

The county lord of Danyang is already four and a half years old, and on the way to the palace, his little mouth is chattering: "Father, why don't you bring your little brother?" I want to show them, I have one

Penis! ”

Xie Yuanyu was a little funny: "Them? You were only one year old the last time you returned to Beijing, do you remember them? ”

The county lord said seriously: "Although I don't remember what they look like, Chunxi often hears his father and mother mention it, and Chunxi is like knowing them for a long time." ”

The father and daughter had just arrived outside the Xuantian Palace, and they heard a bustle inside, as if there were hundreds of ducks inside.

"The county lord of Danyang is here!" Liu Ying, who was waiting at the door, greeted him with a smile: "I've seen Prince De, I've seen the county lord, the emperor and the queen, they're all looking forward to you coming inside." ”

In the courtyard, five-year-old Sun Huaixin was pulling the little prince Xie Yunhui, who was not yet five years old, to run in front, and Ling Xueti was slipping behind, both two-year-old Sun Jiming, and Cheng Bingde were chasing behind, both Ming and Bingde

They all giggled with delight.

Zhao Huayu of Zhao Muzhe's family is also a kid, only Xie Yuanyu and Shen Congxi each have a daughter.

When the emperor saw their father and daughter coming in, he smiled and said, "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived!" The queen just said that she envy you for having a daughter. Danyang came over and asked the queen to take a closer look, so that she could give birth to one. ”

Xie Ruizhu is very happy today, Zhao Muzhe is back, Xie Yuanyu is back, this is not counted, the imperial doctor has just come to diagnose it, and the queen has been pregnant for two months.

The county lord of Danyang asked for peace, and ran to the porch, staring at Ling Xue who was playing with the prince in the courtyard, and when he came back with the two little ones, he was already sweating profusely.

No matter how strong you are, you can't stand the consumption of two writhing kids.

Danyang took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, handed it to Ling Xue and said, "Are you Ling Guard?" You look exactly like what I thought you would! ”

Everyone laughed dumbly. The queen smiled: "When you were a child, you liked Guard Ling the most, crying and making trouble to take him back to Chengdu Mansion!" ”

"I like him now," the county lord of Danyang said solemnly, "When I grow up, I will marry him." ”

Ling Xue's smile froze on her face: Who am I trying to provoke? Don't play like this.

Xie Yuanyu couldn't sit still, feeling that the cabbage he planted was about to be arched by pigs. He cleared his throat and said, "Uh...... But he's eighteen years older than you, don't you think he's ...... Too old? We'll talk about that in 10 years......"

"Could it be that when the concubine is old, you will dislike her?" Danyang asked rhetorically.

Without waiting for Xie Yuanyu to answer, she raised her face and said to Ling Xue with a bright face: "You remember that you must wait for me to grow up, and you are not allowed to marry someone else." ”

None of us took the words of a child less than five years old to heart.

They all laughed heartlessly. Take a look at the latest chapter of "Fengqi Begonia Claw Book House" and read it for free for the first time.
