Chapter 74: Inspecting the Imperial Doctor
Zhou Yunyi originally wanted to match Situ Rou and Xiao Chengyu together, a heroic female general and a brand-new queen, isn't this a pair made in heaven?
However, Xiao Chengyu was unwilling to accept Situ Rou's feelings for him, because the twisted melon was not sweet, so he did not continue to match.
Situ Rou is also an open-minded person, and I believe that in the near future, he will completely come out of the shadow of this incident and run towards a better future and future.
"It's not easy for you to come all the way, if you want to eat, even if you order some of them, they will be counted in my account." Zhou Yunyi smiled and asked Situ Rou to eat more.
Situ Rou said: "I have already ordered some appetizers just now, and you and I will drink another pot of wine to warm up our bodies." ”
As soon as Zhou Yunyi heard Situ Rou talk about drinking, she felt that her head was too big, and her alcohol consumption had never been very good.
"Drink, forget it, after all, we have met now, and we have to get up early tomorrow to hurry, if I drink, I can't guarantee that I will be able to get up tomorrow."
"Then I'll drink the wine, and you replace the wine with tea." Situ Rou also knew that he came here this time to get down to business, so if he really delayed the water control because of drinking, it would be the people of Li who would suffer.
The shopkeeper quickly brought the things up, and was originally going to send them to Situ Rou's room next to him, but there was no one knocking around.
Situ Rou heard movement outside, so Wang Shi hurriedly went out to welcome the first and second little ones to bring in all the dishes.
"You go tell the shopkeeper and ask him to bring the food to this room." Situ Rou said.
"My subordinates know." Wang Shi went out and took the food and wine from the hands of the shopkeeper, brought the wine and food to the table, and laid them out one by one.
Zhou Yunyi picked up a cup of tea with her hand and saluted Situ Rou with wine instead of tea, "This time it's really hard for you, you have to accompany me through this experience." ”
"I know that this time you came out of the palace to control the water, you will not only face the turbulent flood, but also the open guns and hidden arrows of the courtiers behind it." Situ Rou said, "Xiao Chengze obviously took this into account, so he didn't dare to send you to the Xiangjiang River with great fanfare." ”
"If you can really manage the flood, then you will save the people of that area, and this is a very great thing. Besides, you and I are originally friends, so why not get along with friends? Whether it's public or private, I'll do my best to help. Situ Rou bluntly expressed her determination to help Zhou Yunyi.
Zhou Yunyi was also very happy when she heard it.
In fact, she herself muttered in her heart, although she graduated from the School of Hydraulic Engineering, but after all, after graduation, she changed careers directly and engaged in other jobs, so hydraulic engineering is only a theory in textbooks for him, and has not been directly practiced.
So she was also afraid that when she arrived at the bank of the Xiangjiang River, she would not be able to solve the actual problem, so she would just make everyone happy.
But now the floods are raging. Everyone in the DPRK and China is helpless, and he can only fight desperately and try, otherwise, if he really waits for the flood and slowly subsides by himself, then I don't know how many people will die and be displaced because of this.
Zhou Yunyi said while picking up vegetables: "There are still more than 20 miles away from Xiangzhou, and we estimate that we can reach the vicinity of Xiangzhou tomorrow night." ”
"I rode a good horse, and if I had tied him to the carriage and driven it with two horses, I could have gone faster." Situ Rou said.
"That's true." Zhou Yunyi estimated that if the two horse-drawn carriages were to be pulled, they would arrive in advance before dark.
Zhou Yunyi was eating, and suddenly remembered Wang Shi who was standing on the side.
"Come and eat together!" Zhou Yunyi beckoned and invited Wang Shi to eat together.
"Still the emperor...... Let's eat first, I'm not hungry now, I can eat later. ”
Zhou Yunyi knew that Wang Shi was taking care of his identity and thinking that he was strictly hierarchical, so it was not good to sit and eat with the two of them.
"It's outside now, you don't need to worry so much, I'll let you make it and eat it!" Zhou Yunyi invited Wang Shi again to come over for dinner.
"This is your master's order." Situ Rou directly moved out of the set of military orders, he stayed in the barracks all the year round, and knew that for this kind of person with a strict sense of hierarchy. The easiest and quickest way is to use the way of superiors to give orders to subordinates.
As soon as Wang Shi heard that this was an order, he really didn't bother anymore, but walked to the table and sat down.
There weren't many dishes on the table, but the three of them were more than enough to eat.
"Add whatever you want to eat, don't be too restrained, after all, you have the strength to catch the car when you are full." Zhou Yunyi said.
Wang Shi has been doing strength work all the way, and if he doesn't eat and drink enough, how can he continue to generate strength. It's like Maxima has to eat the forage before he can continue running.
After a few people simply finished a meal, they hurried back to the room and took time to rest.
Tomorrow I have to get up early in the morning, because the road is full of potholes, and it is always very uneven, and occasionally there are many stones of all kinds, which have a great effect on the stability of the carriage.
People walk in horse-drawn carriages, and there is no way to have a good rest on such a road, so it is especially necessary to have a good rest in the inn.
The next day, before the day broke, several people were ready to go, Zhou Yunyi got up very early, because he not only had to groom in the morning, but also continued to disguise, so don't look at just blackening his face and pasting a fake beard, but the realism of this fake beard is also a technical job.
Zhou Yunyi looked at himself in the mirror and turned into a black short man again, and then went out satisfied, Situ Rou was already waiting for Zhou Yunyi downstairs.
Situ Rou has been wearing men's clothes for many years, and it is even more convenient to get up early to wash. There was not a single delay at all.
Zhou Yunyi hurriedly got into the car and hurried forward, just like Situ Rou said yesterday, he had already got the horse he rode into the carriage, and the two fast horses pulled the same carriage together, and the speed would indeed be much faster than before.
"In what capacity did you go this time?" Situ Rou suddenly remembered that she didn't know the identity that Zhou Yunyi used to disguise, after all, he couldn't control the flood in the name of the queen's mother, so he had to change his title.
Wouldn't it be bad if the group got there and their identities were exposed because they weren't prepared in advance?
"Inspect the Imperial Doctor." Zhou Yunyi revealed his disguised identity.
In fact, it can't be regarded as a disguise, Xiao Chengze really gave Zhou Yunyi the waist card of the imperial doctor, and this golden waist card is a symbol of the identity of the imperial doctor. Since Zhou Yunyi already has a platoon, it means that his identity is legal and compliant.
The Imperial Historian was in charge of supervision and was a high-ranking civil official, while the Inspector Imperial Historian was a supervisor assigned to the local area. Its status is much higher than that of local officials.
"If you are the Imperial Doctor, then I will also disguise it, why don't you disguise yourself as your guard?"
The reason why Situ Rou wanted to disguise was because according to the regulations, Chi was a military general, and the duty of a military general was to guard the border passes, defend the territory and charge into battle.
Activities such as water control and taxation are controlled by officials who are specially managed by the DPRK and China. Their generals can't even touch a single edge. After all, if the generals have the right to have money again, it is inevitable that they will not be able to keep it all and make some mess.
Before dinner, they finally arrived in Xiangzhou, Zhou Yunyi drove the carriage first, and saw a dilapidated scene. Many of the houses here were washed away by the floods, leaving only a few pieces of rubble and remaining beams, as well as a thick layer of silt.
"I really didn't expect this year's floods to be so severe." Situ Rou also looked out through the window and sighed very much.
In the past few years, there have been floods, but each time the floods are not so bad, and they may only suffer in a few nearby villages. After the rainstorm period, the flood water naturally dissipated on its own.
This year's flood is afraid that the entire farmland in Xiangzhou will be almost destroyed, and if the farmland is destroyed, the people will have no harvest, and they will not be able to pay taxes and food, so they will fall into the predicament of death.
Zhou Yunyi looked at the scene in front of him and knew that flood control was imminent, and he had to come up with a solution immediately.
Zhou Yunyi and his entourage first went to meet the local governor, but they didn't expect that they would eat a bowl of closed-door soup as soon as they arrived at the door.
"We are the people sent by the imperial court to support the floods in Xiangzhou, and we want to see you lords."
"Where did the fanatics come from here to talk nonsense!" The family guarding the gate saw that Zhou Yunyi and his party were dressed plainly, and there were only three of them. How could it be someone sent by the imperial court?
The imperial court will send an inspector of the Imperial Doctor, but the Imperial Doctor is a big official, and he must have a pair of guards to support him.
Wang Shi heard that the family was dry, he was a little angry, a small family member, who had never seen anything in the world, actually dared to say that they were fake, Wang Shi was eager to go up now, so he gave that family a punch and directly extinguished his arrogant flames.
"Wang Shi." Zhou Yunyi sat in the carriage and shouted Wang Shi's name to signal him to pass.
Wang Shi glanced at the person who bombarded them just now, and then walked quickly to the front of the carriage, and took the imperial history waist plate handed out by Zhou Yunyi from the gap, which symbolized the identity of the inspection of the imperial history.
Wang Shi immediately took the waist card and showed it to the people guarding the door, "You people who have never seen the world, but you have to be careful and take a good look, this is a genuine jade waist card, don't let you adults come out to greet it quickly!" ”
"Is this true?" One of the housekeepers cautiously asked the other housekeeper next to him.
"I don't know."
When everyone saw this waist card, they couldn't actually confirm whether they were the real Imperial Doctor? But this waist card is beautifully made, and it doesn't look like a fake.
"It looks like it's real. Alas, whether it's true or not, hurry up and go in and report to your lords, and let the adults come and see for themselves! ”
"Yes, yes, report to your lordship."
A little family member hurriedly ran to the house to call their Lord Zhizhou.
"Three people came outside, and they said they were inspecting the Imperial Doctor." Xiao Jiading truthfully reported the situation outside.
When Sun Zhizhou heard that the Imperial Doctor was coming, he hurriedly put down the two jade balls in his hand, "How does the Imperial Doctor look?" ”
Xiao Jiading carefully recalled Zhou Yunyi's appearance after dressing up, "It's just a little dark, a little short." But not very old. ”
