What Zhou Lin said was sincere, but the villagers of Dawangzhuang just lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak.

Some didn't care, and their faces were full of guilt.

There is a sensible person, knowing that the imperial court repairs the river embankment for the good of himself and others, with shame on his face, when he was said to be uncomfortable and wanted to go out, he was pulled by his wife, turned his head to look, his wife's vicissitudes of life were full of dissuasion, and he shook his head and looked at the family behind him.

When I saw my family, my original enthusiasm calmed down.

And what led to this is that even if Zhou Lin, the announced left waiter, broke his throat, no one dared to stand up.

Zhou Lin was like a drama clown, speaking and persuading from village to village.

But it didn't work.

Everyone knew the Zhao family's power in Bian'an County, and no one dared to disobey.

When it was dark, Zhou Lin returned to the barracks and could not hide the loss on his face when he saw Li Dingguo.

"General Li, this official broke his throat today, and no one came to help."

Li Dingguo shook his head with a smile, and asked him to sit down and take the two of them to dinner, Li Dingguo said: "Lord Zhou's direction is wrong, no one wants to be a people's husband, this is not the gratitude that those people don't understand, and they don't understand it."

The real key point of this matter is still in the Zhao family, the Zhao family's power in Yunzhou County is too great, before the Zhao family speaks, even if these people know that what you say is right, they will never dare to come to help. ”

"So what are we going to do?" Zhou Lin said with a sad face.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but give himself a glass of wine and drank it all in one sip, borrowing wine to kill his sorrows.

This was specially prepared for him by Li Dingguo, that is, he knew that he would definitely not go well today.

Just when Zhou Lin was worried, Li Dingguo smiled, took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it over.

"Zhou Shilang take a look."

Looking at the envelope handed over, Zhou Lin looked puzzled, but he still took it and opened it and looked at it carefully.

Who knew that he smiled and stood up violently!

There was a look of horror on his face!

"What!"

It's no wonder that Zhou Lin reacted so much, but the news from the letter was too shocking.

Just across the river from them, an uprising broke out again in Daxing County!

Daxing County is the largest iron ore mining area in northern Hunan Province, and there are a large number of iron ores in the county, and in order to dig these iron ores, the mine owners of Daxing County employ 200,000 people to mine minerals day and night.

Everything was fine, the mine owner paid the salary, and the miners contributed their strength.

But there are always some people who are insatiable, at first they are in arrears for half a month's wages, then for a month, two months, half a year, and the most excessive are even for a whole year.

And he also threatened the miners in his mine that if they didn't continue to mine for him, they wouldn't even get a penny of their previous one-year arrears.

But year after year, this so-called wage has never been paid, and many miners have had accidents because of mining.

In this regard, the normal mine owner lost money, but how could he take out the money if he was even in arrears, and directly threw the body into the mass grave area.

This incident finally angered the miners, who were already depressed, and a riot ensued.

Nearly 200,000 strong miners rioted, and those officials in Daxing County were broken without even a moment's stop.

Until yesterday, the whole of Daxing County had been occupied by the rioting miners, and the bastards who owed them wages were hung on the railings and exposed to the wind and sun.

The county officials and others who colluded with the mine owners were tied aside and asked to accompany the black-hearted mine owners to watch the sunrise and sunset.

The news of Daxing County soon reached the capital, and the order from the capital soon came down.

It happened that the Ping Japanese army was in Bian'an, across the river in northern Hunan Province, so today's Shengshang sent the Ping Japanese army to quell the rebellion.

Li Dingguo didn't want to pay attention to it, but he didn't want to ignore the orders of the imperial court at all.

But seeing Zhou Lin's sad face and the almost crumbling embankment, Li Dingguo finally relented, and after discussing with his brothers and sending a letter to Yunzhou County.

That's when I came to find Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin looked at the letter and said, "The Holy Lord asked you to go to Xiangbei Qing Rebellion?" ”

Li Dingguo nodded.

"Then you show me what this means, is it possible?" Zhou Lin had a little guess in his heart, but he wasn't sure.

Li Dingguo helped him affirm it.

"Since we can't find anyone to help build the river embankment in Bian'an County, then we will find it from other places.

It just so happened that this happened in Daxing County, and after we went to quell the rebellion, we brought the capital back to build the river embankment, so don't you have a helper? ”

Zhou Lin was still a little hesitant: "But they are all rebels?!" ”

Li Dingguo shook his head and said, "So what? If you don't say it, I won't say it, who else knows?

When the time comes, I will directly report that they have all been annihilated, and I will be responsible for taking them away after the embankment is repaired, and I will never let them appear in the pass again.

Wouldn't that kill three birds with one stone!

You got people, they got jobs, I got people.

Is there anything else to consider? ”

The words were said so clearly, and Zhou Lin did not continue to be hypocritical.

When even nodded in agreement.

The situation in Bian'an County is like this now, but the construction of the river embankment cannot be stopped.

Otherwise, there is not enough time at all, since the locals of Bian'an County are unwilling to repair, then let the Ping Wei army bring that group of people to repair.

The living can't be suffocated by urine!

With a decision, Zhou Lin asked again, "How long will it take for you to bring people in?" ”

In this regard, Li Dingguo said confidently:

"It's just a bunch of miners.

Counting the round trip, up to seven days!

In seven days I will return with these 200,000 men, and you will prepare a place for them to live, as well as supplies and money to start building the embankment. ”

Zhou Lin nodded and said: "This is no problem, the big ships transporting money, grain and materials have already arrived at the border of Bianjing and Bian'an County for a long time, and they can go down the river from the border of Bianjing at any time. ”

When Li Dingguo heard this, he immediately slapped the table and stood up and said: "Okay, since everything is ready, then only the east wind is owed, and I will go to Daxing to borrow the east wind!" ”

"There's General Law!"

……

Heyue Mansion, Zhao family.

"The head of the house! There is news from Huangshan! ”

Zhao Yixing, the housekeeper of the Zhao family, rushed to the courtyard where the head of the family, Zhao Ansheng, was.

Zhao Ansheng had just finished dealing with the things in his hand, and when he heard the words, he asked casually, "How?" ”

Zhao Yi replied with a smile:

"The effect is very good, these days, Zhou Lin has run all over the villages and counties of Huangshan Mansion, but even if he says that no one is willing to repair the embankment, the left waiter of the dignified Ministry of Works, it is really embarrassing to fall into this appearance!"

After Zhao Ansheng listened, a slight smile finally appeared on his face, which had been calm, and he said slowly:

"What if it's the left waiter of the Ministry of Works? In the realm of my Zhao family, even if he is a dragon, he wants to coil, if he is a tiger, he will lie down, and if he dares not to act according to the rules of my Zhao family, then we will make it difficult for him to move an inch! ”

Zhao Yi immediately echoed: "What the head of the family said is, no matter who he is, since he is here, the Zhao family bows his head, he has to act according to the rules of our Zhao family!" ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly changed his words and said: "Family master, this week Lin is like this, but what really worries the little one is the army of King Yun."

The villain is worried that if he is in a hurry, these murderous people in Gaodong will have some crooked thoughts! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Ansheng's eyes couldn't help narrowing.
