At this time, someone broke the hoe, squatted down and planed, and then raised his head and called for help.

"Bring the rope!" A few students squatted there digging the soil and hollowing out the sides of the large stones. After the rope tied the big stone, Zhao Yunrang stood at the front, pulled the rope and shouted, "One, two...... Three! "Because the rope is so long, there are not many people pulling it, but everyone stopped what they were doing, looking at this side, a very simple number, but it made people feel hot.

The large stone was slowly pulled and finally pulled out, drawing a cheer. Zhao Yunrang let go of the rope and said to the people around him: "As long as we work together, there is nothing that cannot be solved." A drought is a drought, but everyone has to ask themselves, have you done your best? Have you ever been frustrated and want to give up? If there is, then throw away these thoughts, go dig wells, dig ditches, and fetch water......" He looked at those who watched the excitement, and said seriously: "We don't say that it is for the Great Song Dynasty, but you should abandon those prayers for rain that pray to God and Buddha for the sake of your parents and your wives and children, and go to work seriously." "Bianliang rarely encountered a drought, and everyone was dumbfounded, so all kinds of theories came.

What is the unreliable work of His Majesty today, which offends God; Or that is not a good sign that His Majesty suffered a drought in the first year of his name...... In this era, after a natural disaster, desperate people are powerless and can only blame it on the immorality of those in power.

Why did Zhao Zhen want to leave the palace, it was because there were too many such voices outside, and they were gradually accumulating, if he sat and didn't care, the recital of the admonition would flood the palace later.

Your Majesty should be a good student to review the mistakes he has committed, and it is best to issue a guilty edict to coax God, has he lived a good life recently, this is not good, and he must be frugal.

…… In a word, God sent a natural disaster, it must be your emperor's fault, Zhao Zhen felt that he was not wrong, so he wanted to come out and take a look.

But I didn't expect to see Zhao Yunrang agitating the people.

"The king of the county works silently, this is teaching by ......word and deed," an official praised: "This is a gentleman who wants to be quick to his words and quick to act, and the king of the county acts with the style of a gentleman, which is all His Majesty's knowledge and good use!" Zhao Zhen looked at it, and sighed with emotion in his heart: "After all, this country is maintained by people, if you don't work hard, it is useless for anyone to come, and the king of Runan County can be regarded as a good start for the officials." The onlookers all bowed and saluted, and someone said, "The villain is ashamed of the king's words, so go back and dig a well......

"It's just praying for rain, but it's hard to stop."

"Pray for rain, to whom?" Zhao Yunrang felt that the blisters in his palms seemed to burst, and it was hot and painful.

He said angrily: "For thousands of years, I have prayed for rain in the face of drought, but how many times have the gods descended to earth? This is not praying for rain, but despair, and you want to ask the gods in your heart for help, even if you don't get anything, you can feel at ease...... Are you still men? Zhao Yunrang's anger was full of anger,

"A man shrinks in the face of disaster, surrenders all his hope to an ethereal god, and stands by himself, is this a man? No, it's a woman...... No, women are better than you! At least they'll try, not like you guys! These words directly pierced the hearts of these people, some people were ashamed, but some people said eloquently: "The king of the county, we don't have enough manpower...... there are so many people in a village, how to open up the canal, how to dig enough wells?

"Then do it first, if you don't do it, will God rain down?" Zhao Yun turned his eyes and saw Zhao Zhen and the others in the distance, so he said: "If there is not enough manpower, the court will naturally find a way, you just have to do it." ”

"What can the DPRK and China do? Can you still get those sergeants to help? "Everyone thinks it's impossible, but where else is there manpower?

An old man stamped his feet,

"The army is the lifeblood of His Majesty, let alone the king of the county, even the prince can't get involved. Besides, where are the sergeants willing to work...... The soldiers are almost the same, that's it, let's go. Zhao Zhen walked over slowly, and after hearing this, he said: "They are willing to work, and they should work for the people." The old man looked at him, and when he saw that he was dressed in cloth and had a wooden expression, he said: "This little brother looks kind, but he can't say this nonsense, otherwise he will be embarrassed." "Bianliang's army is a watchdog, and the relationship with the people is not very harmonious.

Zhao Zhen stretched out his hand and said, "Take a hoe." Zhao Yun gave a pause, and then handed over his hoe.

"Go and rest, I'll come." He walked over with his hoe and struggled to hoe down, but he used too much force, and the hoe went into the dirt crookedly.

He wanted to pry the dirt up, but his strength was a little smaller, and his face was red and his ears were red.

"Who is this man? It's stupid. ”

"yes, it looks like it's the first time I've worked."

"Your Majesty...... This is Your Majesty. One of them had seen Zhao Zhen before, and suddenly shouted: "This is Your Majesty." Everyone's eyes turned, and they saw Zhao Yunrang standing beside Zhao Zhen, those Zaifu, and the guards outside...... Your Majesty is actually here?

"I've seen Your Majesty." Zhao Zhen nodded, smiled, and continued to exert force. After a few times, I finally pried the dirt up, and I felt that my arms were sore.

He wanted to rest, but he thought that even Zhao Yunrang had been digging silently for a long time before, he was the emperor, was he not as good as his own courtier?

So he endured it and continued to dig ditches. But Lu Yijian, Pang Ji and others were numb.

"Your Majesty said earlier that the army would come to help the people dig ditches and dig wells, but there are forbidden troops nearby!"

"The Xiang army is fine, you can pull it all out and work."

"Your Majesty just said that they are willing to work...... the three of them looked at each other, and they all felt that the meaning of these words seemed to agree.

Pang Ji said: "This matter is important, just ask." So Lu Yijian walked over and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to mobilize troops to dig ditches and dig wells?" Zhao Zhen hesitated for a moment and didn't speak.

Mobilizing the army is a big deal at any time, although Zhao Zhen is not afraid of their rebellion, but he is worried about gossip, and even more worried that someone in the DPRK and China will take the opportunity to make trouble.

At this time, Qin Wei said on the side: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the duty of the army is to protect the family and defend the country, but what does this family contain?" The minister thought that it was full of the people. When the people are afflicted and afflicted, the army should come out and hold up the heavens for them. ”

"Defend the family and defend the country......" Zhao Zhen was satisfied,

"Well said, go to the Privy Council and tell Pang Ji that the forbidden army in Beijing should be mobilized to the maximum extent to help the people dig ditches and dig wells, and it should be fast."

"Your Majesty is merciful." The people were overjoyed, and the voice of thanksgiving was loud and sincere.

"Let's all go back, and hurry up and start each other." Zhao Zhen nodded, and the people outside began to disperse.

Zhao Zhen's heart moved, and he asked, "Lu Qing is afraid that there is a risk for the army to come out?" Lu Yijian nodded a little embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, the army and the people are wrapped together, if someone makes noise, the minister is worried that there will be accidents." Zhao Zhen nodded: "That's the truth, but if someone makes a noise, it will move. Chaotic army...... What is the use of such an army? Lu Yijian was stunned, and immediately felt that it made sense,

"If the army is like this, then it should be broken up and rebuilt."

"Teach them." Qin Wei said: "To teach them to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, if one time is not enough, it will be a hundred times, and if it is not enough a hundred times, it will be a thousand times." "This is ideological education.

Zhao Zhen nodded in approval: "You can't waste food because of choking, it's not the army, it's a rebel reserve." ”

"Yes." Lu Yijian and Pang Ji and others went to discuss, Zhao Zhen continued to dig the pit, and it didn't take long for him to feel that his palms were hot, almost hot.

He opened his palm and watched a blister forming, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, his eyelids jumped a few times, it really hurt!

"Your Majesty, come on." Zhao Yunrang's hand had already been dressed, and he felt that it was not bad.

"You rest." Zhao Zhen is only twenty-five years old, which is considered a young man, just because he is the emperor, people consciously ignore his age.

But at his age, the most important thing he lacks is his blood and strength, and he doesn't want to be compared to others, so he works hard, but within a few minutes, the blisters hurt badly.

"Your Majesty!" Xu Mao came in a hurry, and said with a happy face: "Your Majesty, those people know that you are helping the people dig ditches, and many of them have given up praying for rain and have started digging ditches and wells." ”

"Oh! Great!" Zhao Zhen said with emotion: "This is teaching by word and deed, taking the lead in setting an example...... I was wrong. He originally thought that the emperor should be in charge of the overall situation, there was no need to do such a show, and even the courtiers below did not need to do it, and it was the most pragmatic for everyone to perform their duties.

But now the reality has whipped him, sometimes the superficial kung fu is in place, and it is more effective than doing a hundred practical things, and the example is in front of you.

"This is Da Song!" The people are simple and enthusiastic, a few simple words can move them, and a small thing can unite them, Zhao Zhen is really happy.

"The meal is coming." The meal prepared by Qin Wei came, and he personally escorted it.

"Your Majesty......" Qin Weizhen didn't expect Zhao Zhen to come in person, as well as Zai Fu...... It's good that Zhao Zhen came, but Zai Fu had a headache, these people are too much.

Lu Yijian was fat. Fan Zhongyan's body shape is good, but he is a little uncannibalistic, which makes people dare not approach, Qin Wei feels that it will damage the image of the Great Song Dynasty officials.

"Eat, eat, eat." Zhao Zhen put down his hoe and said to the people: "Come and eat." Wang Dongdui smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the villain's family has prepared it." ”

"Where?" Zhao Zhen was looking to see the people's food, and Wang Dong's old wife was standing on the side with a clay pot.

Zhao Zhen stretched out his hand and said, "Show me." His old wife timidly put the clay pot on the ground, and Zhao Zhen leaned over to take a look......

"What is this?" He saw a pile of green paste, and the taste was indescribable.

"What is this?" Wang Dong's old wife Mu Ne said: "It's a wild vegetable...... And some home-grown things make a mess. ”

"Where's the grain?"
