Chapter 7: River Control (8)

When Chai Rong heard this, his heart suddenly warmed.

Since he was canonized as the crown prince by Guo Wei, the family can be described as a good family. But those people either gave him a BMW, or gave him a beautiful woman, or gave him gold and silver, and the land and land, but none of them cared about his health, and said that they would give him pulse and medicine to regulate his body.

You know, seeing the prince is never a good errand. Even the imperial physician of the palace avoided it. If the disease is cured, it can only be regarded as the prince's blessing, and he will not do any credit to the medical officer. But if he is not cured, or if there are any twists and turns during the period, the medical officer will be dismissed and driven out of Bianliang. If it is heavy, I am afraid that I will go to prison and raid my home, and I will be exiled for thousands of miles.

"I'm not cursing you, nor am I curing the disease as a success!" Seeing that Chai Rong suddenly fell into a state of silence, Zheng Ziming thought that the other party had misunderstood his meaning, thought about it, and solemnly explained, "You yourself said that you came out to take charge of the caravan at the age of fourteen or fifteen and raised military funds for Your Majesty, and you have suffered a lot. When people are young, their bones are strong and they can't feel it, but I am afraid that there will be some hidden diseases left in the inner abdomen. And after becoming a prince, you are overworked, and it is difficult to go out for activities, which can easily lead to weakness in the heart, loss of qi and blood, irritability, irritability, and dizziness. Appetite and memory will also deteriorate day by day......"

Chai Rong was suppressed by Wang Jun and a group of old ministers in Bianliang every day, and in the past half a year, he has been exhausted. So there are a lot of things that happen to the body. Listening to what Zheng Ziming said at this moment, it was exactly the same as what he felt on weekdays, and suddenly, he admired his third brother's medical skills beyond measure, turned his head, grabbed Zheng Ziming's arm, and said in a low voice: "Yes, yes, third, you are really Bian Que, no, you are much stronger than that Bian Que! You can guess your brother's condition without looking, hearing and asking! How to treat it, listen to your brother for your brother, you just let it go." Whether it can work or not, or if something goes wrong, I don't blame you for my brother!"

"It's not a serious illness, big brother, you don't have to be too nervous!" Zheng Ziming smiled and comforted softly. "Focusing on recuperation, with a certain amount of muscle and bone activities every day, it won't take more than three months to make you as alive as before!"

"Okay, okay, whether it's to cure the water or the disease, you just let it go. The sky is falling, and there is a promising brother in front, and it will never make you work hard and thankless!" I have seen with my own eyes how Zheng Ziming treated Hu Yancong, and Chai Rong is one hundred and twenty relieved about the ability of his third brother, and immediately, he nodded again and promised loudly.

"Then I'm not welcome, water control is mainly channeling. The treatment of diseases is also based on recuperation. Hearing him say it sincerely, Zheng Ziming didn't shirk, "Anyway, our brothers have time!"

"That's right!" Chai Rong smiled and stroked his palm.

He's only thirty-two years old, and he's not old by any means. And Zheng Zi will be weak next year, and he is in his prime. Coupled with the latter's magic skill that can almost "live and die and be flesh and bones", as long as the brothers don't die by themselves, it will not be a problem to fight side by side for another thirty years.

Far away from the court battle, surrounded by his own brother's tiger and wolf division, on this day, although Chai Rong ran a lot, his mood was rare to relax. That night, I went to bed in the barracks outside Jiahe County early, and when I woke up the next morning, I didn't take any medicine, and I already felt refreshed.

is about to follow Zheng Ziming's advice and go out to fight a fist. There was a sudden commotion in his ears, and after following, his henchman Guo Zhi ran in with a smug face. "Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, you go out quickly, you go out to see the excitement. , those homeless people, we tried our best to saliva a few days ago, but we didn't let them move their nests. Zheng, Zheng Sanye just sprinkled two handfuls of lime, and they all ran out of the city!"

"Lime?" Chai Rong was stunned, his face full of confusion.

He is no stranger to lime, and it is a standing thing in the Cangzhou army. Whenever he camped in one place, Zheng Ziming would always let people sprinkle that thing in the damp places inside and outside the camp. It is said to be able to kill insects, rodents, mosquitoes, and even effectively prevent the occurrence of plague.

But how to use lime to force those outcasts who had become frightened birds out of the city, Chai Rong couldn't guess anyway. The third brother of his own family has always been unconventional, and he has the true legend of Fuyaozi, and there are really few people in this world who can have more ghost ideas than him.

Just when he was puzzled, he heard the noise outside getting louder and louder. Not only was the entire barracks boiling, from the halfway slope where the army was stationed to the county town of Jiahe, more than ten miles away, shouts, cries, scolding, pleading, and cheers were sandwiched together, wave after wave, shaking even the four walls of the sleeping tent.

"What the hell is going on, let's go and see, Ziming, General Zheng is useless, right?" Chai Rong immediately felt a little weak in his heart, and hurriedly rushed out of the door. Three steps and two steps rushed to the top of the mountain, put the pergola in his hand and looked down, only to see a huge team of displaced people, helping the old and the young, rushing out of Jiahe County like a refugee, and went straight to the hillside where the army was stationed. On the hillside, more than 100 cauldrons have already been erected, and the boiling hot water rolls the pickled whale meat up and down, and the salty smell of the fragrance floats out of the wind for miles, hooking people's mouths with drool.

"Could it be that they all came for a mouthful of broth, I knew it was so simple, I ordered someone to cook the soup a few days ago!" Chai Rong became more and more curious the more he looked, turned his head, and continued to look around, "What about the lime, where is the lime?"

There is a way, hard work pays off. After looking carefully twice, he saw two faint white lines outside Jiahe County, next to the giant ditch that had been dry for an unknown number of years. It has been stepped on very faintly, but it can already be seen that it is artificially sprinkled. From the ditch all the way to the south, faintly, it seems to be leading to the big lake that has just been formed by the breach of the Yellow River fifty miles away.

"He, he, he's just scared to death!" "He has also traveled south and north for more than 20 years, and Chai Rong's knowledge and vision are far beyond ordinary people. I immediately understood what those two white lines meant. By means of the flood discharge, the huge ditch outside Jiahe County was used to discharge the flood water into the sea. In this way, Bozhou City will soon see the light of day, and Jiahe County, which is close to the water ditch, will become the next Bozhou. Maybe when a heavy rain comes, it will be swallowed up by the river.

He and all the civil and military forces in the barracks have seen the strategy of controlling the river, and of course they know that Zheng Ziming has no intention of using the channel to discharge the flood. Therefore, when they woke up in the morning and saw someone drawing white lines with lime, they were immediately frightened, and they hurriedly took their only belongings, wives and children, and rushed to the high ground outside the city!

And the soldiers of the Cangzhou Army were not only in a hurry to refute the rumors. Instead, he beat the gongs and drums, and added fuel to the fire, "Recruit river workers, recruit river workers, one person is selected, and the whole family can drink meat porridge." In the first phase, only 4,000 people will be recruited, and we will not wait for the expiration date! Let's eat our stomachs first, and then dig immediately!"
