Chapter 576: The stone turtle was shocked by the world
It is said that this habit has continued in the Han Empire for more than a hundred years, when Guo Chun, a famous minister of the empire, played the "Ten Things of the Imperial Agricultural Mulberry Strip" in which it was said, "The state assassin and the state officials and people under the command of the commander of the Yamen Commander, each said that the benefits and harms of the agriculture and mulberry can be prospered, or the river canal can be opened, or the embankment and weir pond and the like" In the land of Gyeonggi and the northern prefectures, most of them are built by the people in the early spring of each year, and the reclaiming of abandoned land, the construction of water conservancy, and the construction of embankments should be the regular measures of the government and the regular examination of officials...... and so on......
During Guo Chun's decades, the government in the northern part of the Han Empire built water conservancy projects in February every year, and the measures to dredge the canals were fixed.
Under normal circumstances, these water conservancy projects should last at least one month, in order to prepare for spring ploughing in various places, but there are some exceptions this year, when the water conservancy is built around the city this year, because the Ling'an River on the east side of the Dijing River is in disrepair due to the embankment, when it rained last year, "it has been a long-term trouble, the river is overflowing and the water is overflowing, and the people are miserable ...... Therefore, this year, when the water conservancy was being built, the relevant yamen officials of the imperial capital city also took the Ling'an River as the key object of repair, allocated money and grain, and recruited 20,000 craftsmen from the villages and towns around the imperial capital to begin to vigorously renovate the waterways of the Ling'an River.
On March 6 of the sixteenth year of Yuanping of the Han Empire, on this day, the wind and the sun are beautiful, the spring breeze is warm, the river repair project of the Ling'an River in the east of the imperial capital is still in full swing, today the day is just dawn, a large number of people and craftsmen who hastily ate some steamed porridge and pickles have gathered to the river on time, and under the urging of one foreman, the soil is picked, the dredging is dredged, the water is pumped, and the embankment is built, and they are busy.
From a distance, on both sides of the Ling'an River, the people and craftsmen are as dense as ants, which is quite powerful.
In addition to these recruited craftsmen, men, women and children from many surrounding villages and towns also gathered on both sides of the river embankment at this time, one by one carrying dustpans and carrying baskets and basins and other things.
This embankment is a section in the repair, when repairing the water in the river to drain the first section of the work can work, and when the water is drained, the fish, shrimp and loach in the water will come out, usually to catch these fish and shrimp also take a lot of effort, and this time to fish, but it is much easier, and therefore, the surrounding villagers are happy to do this, the big fish caught by good luck is two or three feet long, the loach river is fresh or anything is fresh, the little can be eaten by your own family, a good meal, and more can even be sold to the restaurant in the imperial capital city, earn a little silver flowers。
Just as it was almost noon, an exclamation suddenly rang out from among the dredging men in the middle of the river.
"Ah, there's a stone turtle in this river!"
"Stone turtle, a stone turtle dug up in the river!"
"There's something in the river......"
The so-called curiosity, everyone has it, just a moment of effort, the news of digging the stone turtle here has spread all of a sudden, many people and craftsmen, and even the surrounding villagers have run towards here, to see the strange, both sides of the river are surging at once.
The stone turtle is nearly more than a meter long, more than half a meter high, huge in size, just in the mud below the river, the whole body is mud, I don't know how many years it has been lying in this river, but the appearance is still vivid, so that the onlookers are amazed.
The craftsmen and craftsmen who were working were not idle, and quickly found ropes and iron gourds, and with the strength of one hundred and ten people, in the blink of an eye, they pulled the stone turtle, which was covered in mud, from the river to the shore.
The surrounding people gathered around at once, looking at the stone turtles pulled up from the river one by one, and they were amazed.
An old craftsman with silver hair walked over, reached out and touched the head of the stone turtle, scraped it with his fingernails, revealing the texture of the stone turtle under the mud, and sighed, "The material of this stone turtle is not ordinary, it is a gold leaf stone, it will not rot for ten thousand years, strange, how can there be a stone turtle in this Ling'an River......" The old craftsman's hand touched the stone turtle's body, and suddenly, the old craftsman's face was stunned, "Ah, there seems to be a word on the back of this stone turtle, find some water to rinse it and see what the word is......"
Hearing the words of the old craftsman, some of the people who were doing good things next to him couldn't help but bring water from the rivers and ditches next to them to the wooden basins that were prepared to hold fish and shrimp and rushed towards the stone turtle.
"Whoa...... Crash...... Whoa......"
Under the baptism of a basin of water, the muddy stone turtle gradually revealed its original face, especially on the back of the stone turtle, which showed clear and deep handwriting.
"The words on the back of the stone turtle came out, the words came out, and there were many lines of words......"
All of a sudden, countless heads leaned over with wide eyes.
"What words, what words, read them and listen to them......" shouted those who couldn't squeeze in outside.
After coughing twice, the literate person read out the words on the stone turtle's back even more loudly.
"In May of the sixteenth year of Yuanping of the Han Empire, Liuzhou Tengu eclipsical ......"
"In August of the 16th year of Yuanping of the Han Empire, there was a great drought in Zhuzhou......"
"In January of the 17th year of Yuanping of the Han Empire, Ganzhou was ...... earthquake"
"In April of the 17th year of Yuanping of the Han Empire, Luchuan landslide ......"
"In September of the seventeenth year of the Yuan Ping of the Han Empire, the catastrophe descended, the stars fell, the land of Gyeonggi, the imperial city became dead, thousands of miles became a desert, and the people were broken and turned into ashes......"
"Mo Dao stone turtle doesn't open his mouth, seeing that this thing has life, life, saving the people, and escaping for thousands of miles to live!"
"Han Yuan Tianfeng ......"
When the man was reading, the voices of the people around him suddenly became quieter, and after reading two words, there was silence around them, and when he finished reading, the two sides of the embankment were so quiet that even the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves could be heard.
Yuan Tianfeng, that is the legendary Han Empire two hundred years ago through the heaven and latitude of a generation of strange people, know astronomy and geography, know five hundred years before, five hundred years after the post, this character, but the teahouse restaurant in the mouth of the storyteller in those legendary stories of the frequent guest, famous, almost everyone knows, no one knows.
"I didn't hear it clearly just now, can you ...... Can you read it again......" In the silence, an elderly man on the outskirts of the crowd trembled and spoke again.
The person who read the word just now swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva and read it again, but compared to the first time, when he read it again this second time, the person's voice trembled.
This time, everyone heard clearly.
"What are you doing, what are you doing, so many of you are gathered here, don't you have to work?" A small official in charge of this section of the river squeezed through the crowd proudly, walked from the back to the front, and saw the stone turtle, "Hey, what is this!"
"Your Excellency...... This...... This is what we just fished out of the river......" said in a whisper from a craftsman with his head shrunk, and many of the people around who had just heard those words had quietly retreated.
"Oh, there's still a word on the back of this stone turtle, I'll take a look at ......"
The little official walked around to the side of the stone turtle and looked at the words on the back of the stone turtle, but after just a moment's effort, the little official's face suddenly turned pale......
......
In less than two hours, the stone turtle and the words on the back of the stone turtle had spread throughout the entire imperial capital......
