902: The Stick kneels
Hearing that Zhao Yunrang reported to his home, Wang Dong's face was confused.
Zhao Yun rang to cover his forehead, and then a guard came from behind and shouted: "This is the king of the county." ”
"The king of the county...... What are you doing......"
Poof!
Before the words fell, Wang Dong knelt down.
"I've seen the county king."
He has lived for decades, and of course he knows what the prince does, and those villagers also panicked and knelt down one after another.
"The villain has seen the king of the county."
"I've seen the county king."
Hundreds of people knelt down, but Zhao Yunrang was not proud, the gods over there were fleeing for their lives, and the two guards rode horses and slowly chased after them.
"Get up."
The people stood up sparsely, and Zhao Yunrang asked, "Why don't you go to divert water to fight the drought?" ”
"It's too far."
Wang Dong said helplessly: "There is no way for the small river here to dry up." ”
"Where's Bianhe?"
It is three miles away from a section of the Bianhe River.
Wang Dong said in surprise: "King Jun, it's so far away, all the people in our village can't dig a ditch when they go up." ”
The ditch of more than three miles is indeed a bit embarrassing. With the efficiency of the brain hole in this era, when the canal was dug up, most of the wheat in the field was also destroyed.
"In the middle, you have to pass through the fields of those villages, and it is difficult to walk, and you will lose money if you go."
If you destroy someone else's field while digging a ditch, it's not just a matter of losing money.
"If you lose money, you will lose money, not bad money."
Zhao Yunrang was most envious of Qin Wei, and felt that Qin Wei's way of attacking his opponent was too manly, throwing money! You don't agree? Brother will stone you to death with money!
But he didn't see Qin Wei's private methods, otherwise the three views would be subverted.
Qin Wei said in a low voice: "I know how to fight ......"
When Wang Dong heard this, he said excitedly: "The king of the county understands people and knows how to fight, and the villain was worried that the king of the county would be frightened, so he didn't say it." Where others will be willing to give in, there must be a fight, and it is useless to win, those people will block your canal at night. ”
Grab the water, block the water......
These civil wars lasted for thousands of years, and until modern times, large-scale armed fights between two villages for water were still common.
Moreover, this kind of war is carried out at the village level, and military law is practiced.
Everyone went to fight, they were beaten and crippled, and they were raised in the village, so go boldly.
Zhao Yunrang frowned and said, "So troublesome? ”
Shenhan was dragged over, and he honestly knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
"Say it."
Qin Wei was pondering how to do this, and gradually spread his thinking.
"That's the true God."
No matter how you ask, Shenhan is just such a sentence.
There was more sympathy in the eyes of the villagers, and some people were angry, but they were afraid that the guards were holding long knives, so they didn't dare to burst out.
The guards were nervous, their eyes wandering.
Qin Wei said helplessly: "Do you remember those goddesses and gods? ”
Belch!
Someone in the guard suddenly remembered something, "Yes, that time you defeated those goddesses and gods in the Kaifeng Mansion......"
"The elixir has also been debunked by you."
The battle was fierce, and Qin Wei defended the law.
All kinds of goddesses and gods and men used their housekeeping skills to attack him, but in the end, Qin Wei was safe and sound, but the goddesses and gods foamed at the mouth.
"This is Pingyang Gong!"
Qin Wei nodded and stood up.
He felt that this knowledge should be widely disseminated, especially in these rural areas, so that the people could know that the most reliable thing was their own hands.
"The villain is guilty, the villain is a liar......"
Shenhan suddenly collapsed, Zhao Hao was puzzled, and when he saw him crying bitterly, he felt even more fake.
"The villain can't live anymore, the family's fields are sold, and the villain starts to work, but the work is so hard, the villain follows the people to learn these things to deceive people...... Pingyang Gong spares his life! ”
This person knew that Qin Wei was ruthless, and he knew that Qin Wei didn't believe this, so he confessed. If he doesn't confess again, what will Qin Wei do with him?
Most of the time it was beaten half to death and then questioned.
"What a liar?"
The people of the village were stunned, and their anger rushed up.
"Hit!"
A violent beating ensued, and if it weren't for Zhao Yun asking people to separate the villagers, this person would probably have been killed here on the spot.
"What to do? We are all praying for rain here, and we knew that we would have to carry the water! ”
"It's over, what about the wheat? I can't live, I can't live! ”
"It's all to blame, it's all to blame!"
Wang Dong pounded his head and slammed his head, "A certain white has lived for many years, but he can't even see that this is a liar, a person who has harmed a village!" ”
Some of the villagers were squatting on the ground in a daze, and some were crying...... Most of the people were in a daze, and that sense of despair instantly spread.
A three- or four-year-old girl stood on the side holding her mother's hand and suddenly said, "Mother, I'm hungry." ”
Her mother said blankly: "I have nothing to eat, I have to keep it, otherwise I will starve to death." ”
Most of the memories of the famine come from the word of mouth of the elders, and the tragedy is despairing.
Zhao Yunrang shook his head and suddenly shouted, "Why are you crying here and not willing to dig a ditch?" Can tears water the land? ”
Wang Dong said with tears streaming down his face: "King Jun, it's too far!" We don't use this little bit, and those villages on the road won't let us. ”
"Believe me or not?"
Zhao Yunrang said: "A certain name is Zhao Yunrang, it is His Majesty's cousin Runan County King, if you believe me, then follow me." ”
He turned and walked out of the village.
Wang Dong hesitated for a moment, and then shouted: "Follow the king of the county, all follow." ”
The people of a village were all dispatched, and as long as they could move, they followed behind Zhao Yunrang, with a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
Walking outside the village, Qin Wei pointed to the front right and said, "That's the Bianhe River, is it three miles away?" Come. ”
"The King of the County."
"Go to Yanshan Academy and let them come up with an idea right away, what is the fastest way to dig a ditch."
"Yes."
The guards beat their horses and galloped away, and Zhao Yunrang turned around and said, "Give me a hoe." ”
"The king of the county, don't dare, the villain doesn't dare."
Wang Dong was carrying a hoe, where did he dare to let Zhao Yun do it.
"Bring it!"
Zhao Yunrang grabbed it, then chose a straight line, and swung the hoe vigorously.
The villagers looked at it stupidly, thinking that this was a bit unrealistic.
When the prince of the dynasty dug a ditch in our village......
No one believes it!
But it did happen.
The guards were also looking for tools, and dozens of people were digging ditches together, little by little, but the progress was palpable.
Wang Dong turned around and grabbed a shovel and shouted, "The county king is digging a ditch for us, what are you waiting for?" Are they all brutes? Hurry up. ”
The villagers rushed over as if they had just woken up from a dream, and the scene was flooded in an instant.
The earth was dug up and then thrown on both sides, and the ditches were dug deeper and deeper......
The villagers looked at the young man at the front, and hope gradually swelled again.
……
"Your Majesty, this drought is not large, but it is severe. Although the water level around Bianliang is very low, the irrigation is still enough, so the drought is okay, but those villages far away from the river are afraid that it will be difficult. ”
Bianliang has the most officials and the most troops, so the news quickly spread into the palace.
Zhao Zhen asked, "Is there a way?" ”
"Dig a well."
Lu Yijian said: "It is very troublesome to dig wells, so many fields...... But the minister had already arranged for them to dig as many wells as they could to irrigate them. ”
Zhao Zhen was in an unswerving mood, "There has been no drought around Bianliang for many years, and the officials are all slacking, right?" ”
"Yes."
Lu Yijian also hated it, "Those officials were negligent, which caused most of those ditches to be blocked, and as soon as the drought came out, most of the original water conservancy was abolished." Otherwise, where would Bianliang worry about this. ”
Bianliang sits on a huge water system, and the water resources are probably the highest in the Song Dynasty, but the more this is the case, the more humiliating it is after the drought.
"Check!"
Zhao Zhen said angrily: "What about Yan Shu? Where has he been? Tell him, investigate! ”
He snorted, and Lu Yijian was worried that he would be sick, so he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, Yan Shu goes out, if he can't get someone, I'm afraid he won't have the face to come back." ”
Pang Ji said in understanding: "Yes! Yan Shu has been in the third division for a long time, and he has been working hard every day, I am afraid that he has long been looking forward to going out and roaring, and the minister feels that those officials are afraid that they will tremble! ”
He suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "Speaking of selfish words, Your Majesty, the minister is really afraid of Yan Shu, I wish he had better go outside for the official and not come back, his posture of being willing to cut his body, even if the minister is not weak-hearted, he will still feel trembling." ”
This one was a little wrong with Yan Shu's bravery.
Zhao Zhen's anger gradually dissipated, and someone came to tell him.
"Your Majesty, the king of the county is in Chenbu Village outside the city...... He...... He's digging ditches! ”
What?
Zhao Zhen was a little dizzy, "What ditch is he digging?" ”
The visitor said: "There was a drought in Chenbu Village, and the king of the county was digging a ditch with a village, preparing to dig to the edge of the Bianhe River to divert water for irrigation. ”
"Tsk!"
Zhao Zhen had a headache.
"Didn't he let him understand the people's feelings? How did you get there? Ditches are also dug ...... What about Qin Wei? ”
He smiled bitterly: "Those ditches will take ten days and a half months to dig them, and when the time comes, they will give up halfway, and I don't know how many people will ridicule them." Impulsive! ”
Lu Yijian said: "Young people mostly like to act impulsively, and when the minister faced the exam, he only felt tense all over his body, his mind was clouded, and he kept silently thinking that he could be lifted, like a madman. ”
Pang Ji knew what this meant, so he pretended to sigh and said: "That year, the first emperor ascended the throne, and his father ordered the minister to enter Beijing to congratulate, and the first emperor was merciful and made the official of the minister, but the minister was proud and high-spirited at that time, and he only felt that there was nothing in the world to stop him, so he politely refused...... Now that I think about it, the minister was really frivolous at that time! ”
This Pang nationality is really unusual!
Lu Yijian glanced at Pang Ji, and the alarm bell rang in his heart.
Everyone is saying that these are exposing their shortcomings, so that Your Majesty can rest assured, we will not say that you are not using people properly.
That's why Zhao Zhen and Lu Yijian said those words.
But Pang is different, this goods entered Beijing on the order of his father to congratulate Zhao Heng on his accession to the throne.
Zhao Heng likes to use his official position to smash people, and he thinks that this young man is pleasing to the eye, so he smashes a Dali commentator.
But who would have thought that Pang Ji was arrogant and looked down on Yin Meng's official position at all, so he politely refused to go home.
