Chapter 1471 Sun Simiao
The heavy rain that had lasted for several days finally stopped. Although the sky was still cloudy and there was still light rain falling from time to time, it would not cause the river to swell, let alone cause damage to the embankment.
Although the danger was resolved, the relief troops did not withdraw immediately. Instead, after discussions between Fang Jun and Cheng Yaojin, officials from the Ministry of Industry continued to reinforce and maintain the Jinghe embankment.In ancient times, it was very difficult to carry out such a huge project. The food and wages consumed were still in decimals, and the most important labor was too difficult to organize.
Don't be deceived by the records in the history books that cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of civilian workers to build projects. Except for the construction of the emperor's mausoleum, which is acquiesced and supported by the people of the world, the imperial court will never dare to recruit civilian workers on a large scale.
Traffic congestion and low productivity determine that once large-scale recruitment of peasants will affect the production status of one place or even multiple state capitals. In this society where people depend on food, if the planting and harvesting of crops are delayed, the consequences will be fatal. Countless people will starve to death...
No one would do such a thing unless an incompetent monarch led a court where corpses were eaten without food.
The construction of the Great Wall by Qin Shihuang and the excavation of canals by Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty were all one of the reasons that indirectly led to the collapse of a prosperous dynasty...
Therefore, once the army withdraws, the Jinghe embankment can only rely on the local government to organize civilians to repair it during the slack season. Not only is the shortage of manpower unable to solve the fundamental problem, but the situation will be greater than the meaning because of the exploitation and corruption of officials at all levels.
Don't talk about such silly words as "Zhenguan prosperous age" and "clear government officials". History is written by people, and "you don't take advantage of the bastard" is one of the bad habits of human beings. No matter what dynasty, it is impossible to follow the "greedy" Words like "rot" are completely insulated, and they are nothing more than a matter of severity or quantity.
The reason why "Zhenguan Prosperous Age" is famous forever is because during this period of time, honest and honest officials occupied the mainstream of the court, and the meritorious deeds of all over the world and the world of Wuji really added too many points...
The local officials in Jingyang were overjoyed to see that Fang Jun was willing to help repair and strengthen the dam. They called on the local people to contribute their efforts to maintain the dam when the flood receded, so that Jingyang would not suffer from floods.
Naturally, Fang Jun didn't have to stay in Daba to lead by example, but moved into Jingyang County Yamen with Cheng Yaojin.
Speaking of which, after the flood receded and the embankment was preserved, there was nothing about Fang Jun here, but he and Cheng Yaojin had the same idea, and he didn't want to go back to Chang'an now to be involved in the fluctuations caused by the Jinyi warehouse case, so as not to get into trouble. Sao...
"It is said that His Majesty is arresting members of the Yuan clan in Youzhou, why does your governor of Youzhou seem to be fine?"
In the 11th year of Zhenguan, Cheng Yaojin, a feudal hero of His Majesty Li Er, was awarded the title of Governor of Puzhou and changed to Lu Guogong. There are [-] real food households, which have been inherited from generation to generation.Before long, Cheng Yaojin envoy Chijiedu supervised the military affairs of the six prefectures of You, Yi, Tan, Ping, Yan, and Gui, and the governor of Youzhou.
"Hehe, are you really stupid or fake stupid? At the beginning, Your Majesty really wanted to imitate the feudal world of the Han Dynasty with us heroes and princes, but such facts are a big taboo, so your father and eldest grandson Wuji are the leaders. Please resign. Now, of course, XX still holds the title of Inspector of Youzhou, but he is just a distant leader, and he can do nothing."
Fang Jun thought that this is the case, but even if he is a remote leader, he still has an extraordinary influence on the military in Youzhou, or is this the prototype of a feudal town?
It wasn't until five days later that everything was safe in Jingyang, and there was no longer any reason to delay their stay. Only then did the two lead a group of officials and Youwu guards back to Beijing.
*****
After returning to Beijing, the first thing to do was to report to the emperor. Before Fang Jun and Cheng Yaojin could go home to take a bath and change clothes, they went directly to the palace to meet the emperor.
After staying in Jingyang for many days, both of them were sour and unkempt. It is said that it would be rude to meet the emperor like this, but why do they have a difficult task this time?The heavy rain was overwhelming, the flood was turbid and the waves were raging. Under such circumstances, it was a great achievement to keep the Jingyang embankment intact, and to keep Jingyang City and Xianyang from being flooded.
Furthermore, it is the haggard and embarrassing image now that can show how they completed their mission in the difficult environment in Jingyang...
Above the officialdom, some acting skills are always needed to set off the merits. Blindly acting foolishly and recklessly does not cause suffering or fatigue, sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing...
The two went to the gate of the palace and begged to see His Majesty. Knowing that His Majesty was meeting the foreign ministers in the Hall of Liangyi, they went to the Hall of Liangyi, accompanied by the servants.
When they arrived at the door, the servant went in to report, and returned after a while, bowing to invite the two of them in.
Fang Jun and Cheng Yaojin sorted out their robes, and saw that the other party was disheveled and filthy, and the official robes were covered with traces of dried rain and cement stains. They looked at each other and nodded, Cheng Yaojin was in front, and Fang Jun was slightly behind. , walked into the hall together.
In the main hall, His Majesty Li Er was talking and laughing happily with people.
The two entered the hall, bowed and saluted together, and said loudly: "My minister Zuo Wuwei, General Cheng Zhijie, Minister of the Ministry of War, Fang Jun, see Your Majesty!"
His Majesty Li Er chuckled, and said: "I have already seen the memorials you both submitted. This time, you have worked hard to keep the Jingyang embankment intact. You have worked hard. I have always been rewarded and punished. Naturally, such achievements will not be buried. There will be rewards later. According to the instructions, both of you are the pillars of the empire, and you still need to be diligent in state affairs and devote yourself to it."
The two quickly thanked each other: "Thank you, Your Majesty, it is a matter of duty to worry about the country, and I dare not accept your majesty's reward."
His Majesty Li Er waved his hand disapprovingly: "You both deserve it, why bother to say such polite words?"
The two said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
After looking at the "worried image" of the two of them, His Majesty Li Er knew in his heart that this was asking for credit... But he never cared about his ministers playing tricks to get benefits, as long as he can do things sincerely and contribute to the country, what rewards will there be? Is it reluctant?
"Come, come, give me your seat quickly, you two are not in a hurry to go home, first get to know a sage."
His Majesty Li Er was full of joy, as if all the frustration and resentment brought about by King Jin had disappeared without a trace...
Fang Jun was a little surprised, who could make His Majesty Li Er smile all over his face, and wouldn't even let them go back and change clothes?
Looking up to His Majesty Li Er, he saw an old man with white hair and childlike face sitting on the couch, stroking his snow-white beard and looking at him with a smile.
Fang Jun was haunted, this old man looked very lively, but why did he smile at himself, and this smile seemed to have a meaningful look?
I don't understand...
His Majesty Li Er turned back to the old man and said with a smile: "The Taoist priest travels all over the world, and the fairy trail is indistinct, but you should also listen to Cheng Yaojin's name?"
The old man twisted his beard and smiled: "Breaking King Kong of the Song Dynasty, capturing Dou Jiande, and subduing Wang Shichong, the prestige of the devil king resounds throughout Hebei. The old man is not a fairy from the world, so how can he not be as good as Lei Guaner?"
Cheng Yaojin was a little upset when he heard the old man's tone of commenting on the younger generation, but a random thought popped into his mind, could it be...
"But Daoist Sun in person?"
"Hehe, it's the old way."
"Oh, my old Cheng is really lucky to be able to see you, a living god, with my own eyes. I'm so sorry."
Where does Cheng Yaojin have the slightest bit of unrestrained aura?
His brows drooped and his face was full of smiles, but the stubble that looked like a gun made people look a little funny...
Fang Jun was a little dazed and hadn't turned the corner yet.
Then he saw His Majesty Li Er pointing at Fang Jun and said: "Don't use me to introduce this kid, right? I think we are old acquaintances with the Taoist priest. Back then, he summed up the strategy of dealing with the wounded in the army according to the Taoist priest's teaching. He opened up a way of life for hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, and freed countless wounded soldiers from the misfortune of disability and death. The Taoist priest is really a great merit! There is also a little girl who is free to suffer from qi disease, and this kid listened to you His words made my little girl eat sea fish every day, and the symptoms of gas disease have not recurred in the past two years, and I have to thank the Taoist priest for my family and the country!"
Hearing this, Fang Jun's eyes straightened.
isn't it...
Could it be that this veteran is Sun Simiao? !
motherfucker!
I have often used my old-fashioned reputation to do things, sterilized liquor, lied to His Majesty Li Er that my son's illness required eating more sea fish... Strictly speaking, this is all deception!
Everything else is easy to say, His Majesty Li Er really regarded Sizi as the apple of his eye, although Sizi's condition did improve after eating sea fish, but he lied to him that it was Sun Simiao's idea... If His Majesty Li Er knew that he Talking nonsense about Sizi's condition, will he kill himself in a fit of anger?
