Su Xun was extremely embarrassed. What embarrassed him most was not that he told Zhang Fangping what Yun Zheng said, which led to serious consequences. What really embarrassed him was Yun Zheng's bright smiling face.
The summer grain harvest is now underway. Zhang Fangping has mobilized almost all Chengdu people for this purpose. The fields are full of busy people. God bless, this year's rain has not come yet. Zhang Fangping won the bet. In any case, he got it for Chengdu Prefecture.
One season of summer grain. With this grain and the grain shipped from Hanzhong, Chengdu Prefecture will at least have enough food to survive.
Zhang Fangping won, and Yunzheng's situation became very embarrassing. There was no problem with food, but now the problem was Dujiangyan's water conservancy.
Yun Zheng's body was covered with mud and he stood barefoot in the mud. Only his big white teeth could show the difference between him and others. Su Xun stood on the river embankment and for the first time began to hate his big mouth.
Zhang Fangping was still satisfied and looked at the sergeants who were clearing the mud with interest. He didn't care much about the plight of the people. What he cared about was the ingenious way of working. The densely packed people who used to cover the river bed were gone. Only
Five hundred people were clearing the mud, and the big and small stones in the mud could no longer be found. Regarding the progress of the work, Zhang Fangping felt more and more that his decision was right. Whether it was marching, fighting, or doing these rough jobs,
There must always be someone who is familiar with the sages' books to take command. Only in this way can the shortcomings of the low-level soldiers' lack of education be made up for.
He is a man of action. Regardless of whether he is right or wrong, he always advocates doing it first and then talking about it. He is so bold and courageous. God has blessed this stupid and bold man. First he bet on the weather, and then he got Yun Zheng to Wu Shengjun through some strange combination of circumstances.
No matter how dangerous the process was, the final result was very beneficial to him.
Yun Zheng climbed up from the mud, and Zhang Fangping laughed and patted Yun Zheng on the shoulder, not caring about the mud on Yun Zheng's body.
"Well done, young people should experience it like this. After a few years of polishing, it will not be difficult to become a pillar of talent!"
Yun Zheng was a little shy. He rubbed his hands and seemed very flattered. The dirt on his hands fell down. Seeing Yun Zheng's expression, Zhang Fangping smiled even more happily. He had never seen such an arrogant young man, but
Those crazy people often don't have any real skills, except for their mouths, which can be said to be useless.
Regarding Yun Zheng's arrogant performance in the past, Zhang Fangping believed that this was Yun Ye trying to attract his attention so that he could find a career as an official.
land.
Now that most of the dredging work in Dujiangyan has been completed, there is only a small amount of silt left that will not affect the Minjiang River's flood discharge. Seeing this, Zhang Fangping asked warmly: "In previous years, the dredging work was considered qualified if all the stones were removed. The silt will naturally
It will be carried away by the flood, so why do you insist on clearing out the silt?"
Yun Zheng clasped his fists and replied: "The Shangguan's order is to clean up the river, not just pull out the stones. Since I have become Du Yuhou, I naturally have to clean up the river thoroughly, whether it is stones or silt.
They are all within the scope of your orders, so naturally I don’t dare to neglect them!”
It was because of these words that Zhang Fangping began to look at the humble and somewhat old-fashioned young man in front of him in a different light. Needless to say, he had the ability. The stone was cleared out fifteen days in advance. This was not something that ordinary people could do. What was especially rare was that he
In the shortest possible time, Wu Shengjun's Jiazi Camp was transformed from a pile of mud into something like a soldier. Just looking at the neatly piled stones on the river embankment, you can tell that they are working very planned, isn't it?
A bunch of rabble.
Young people are arrogant and arrogant, but a young man who is willing to stand in the mud and take the lead in the work is rare. Although this young man does not have much mud in his basket, unlike other soldiers.
Only by exerting great efforts, that is, because it is only half a basket of silt, can it be proved that Yun Zheng is really working, and not just doing it half-heartedly. This kind of work of filling a large basket of silt and dragging it to the shore is something that the military Hanmen can do.
A scholar cannot carry a basket full of mud.
"Wu Shengjun's Jiazi Camp is loyal, brave and reliable. This month's food and salary will be increased by 60%. If it can be completed on time, it will be a permanent example."
Yun Zheng immediately knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists to thank the defense envoy for the reward, and shouted: "Thank you so much, Marshal, for the reward!" Peng Jiu saw Yun Zheng kneeling down, although he didn't know what the Marshal said to the general, but he had sharp ears.
Hearing Yun Zheng's roar, he immediately kicked the silly sergeant next to him and fell to his knees. He yelled after Yun Zheng at the top of his lungs: "Thank you, Marshal, for the reward!"
Zhang Fangping was greatly satisfied both mentally and externally. Wen Yan encouraged Yun Zheng to keep up his efforts, and took his servants into the carriage and drove to Chengdu. Su Xun wanted to say a few more words to Yun Zheng.
, but Yun Zheng waved his hand to stop him, pointed at Zhang Fangping who was walking away, and signaled him to talk to him later.
Su Xun sighed and went to chase Zhang Fangping. Peng Jiu stood on the river bank holding an awning with his hands and saw that Zhang Fangping's convoy had gone far. He said to Yun Zheng who was still working: "General, the defense commander has left. You can
Stop working. The sun is too harsh. You'd better take a bath and lie under the shade of a tree for a while. You've been working for a long time."
Yun Zheng thought for a moment and shook his head. Zhang Fangping was a cunning and difficult Shangguan. If he didn't succeed, he would kill him, and then he would look ugly.
Besides, since I have already been in the mud, I just need to do a day's work honestly. It is something that must be done both humanly and logically.
So, he lowered his head and continued to load mud into the bamboo basket. The soldiers nearby were rushing to help Yunzheng carry the basket, and it was not his turn to continue working. Even so, when the work was finished in the evening, he had not worked for a long time.
Yunzheng also felt sore all over his body.
Liang Ji actually came from a martial arts family. He heard that he knew a health-preserving method called Baduanjin. Seeing that Yunzheng was sore all over, he waited until Monkey and Hanniu helped the master of the house take a bath and lay on the bamboo bed, groaning.
, the Shaking Sky Pillar in the Baduanjin, open the windlass alone, use the left and right windlass, press the left and right buttons to push it down, Yun Zheng's appetite is greatly increased, and he also eats two big bowls of the pig food in the military camp,
There is relaxation in the cracks in the bones.
After eating, I rode around the camp on horseback. The brick kiln behind the hill has been on fire for two days. I don’t know how effective it is now. As long as the first kiln of bricks is successful, I will build a few more kilns and just sell them.
Bricks must be able to make a good income. It's just a brick and tile factory. As long as there is enough soil, it can continuously produce green bricks.
Yunzheng did not allow the soldiers to cut down the trees on the riverside, so the firewood needed for the kiln could only be found from dead trees. However, such days would not last long. According to Peng Jiu, every year when the Minjiang River floods, it can be washed down from the upper reaches.
There is countless firewood, as long as you wait by the river, there will be firewood, and there will be no end to it. When there is a flood in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, it is very scary. It is like a roaring beast, so there is no need to worry about the problem of firewood.
Yun Zheng carefully looked at the fire through the fire hole. It was very good. The firewood inside was almost burning now. There would be bricks in one day. All he had to do was wait for the temperature of the stove to slowly drop.
"Peng Jiu! You are watching these bastards here and don't allow them to go out again. You just got two stinky coins and you went out to visit the brothel. What will your wife and children eat when they come? Next time, don't give them the money. I will ask for theirs."
Mother-in-law comes to collect it. If you dare to ask for money, you will be beaten to death."
After Yun Zheng counted the number of people burning the kiln, he became very angry. A dozen soldiers actually went to the nearby town to find prostitutes, and they have not come back yet.
"General, my brothers have been sleepy for a long time. They haven't smelled a woman's scent for a long time. Please spare them once." Peng Jiu himself was also a lustful ghost, so of course he had to beat the drum first.
Yun Ye glanced at Peng Jiu and said: "If you want a woman, just marry her and bring her home openly. How you sleep with her is your own business. In the future, the army will often give you money. If this continues, you will be a poor soldier for the rest of your life."
, when you get older, you will become like a fucking lonely ghost, and you will talk about the people who are going to embarrass me!"
Peng Jiu heard that money would often be distributed in the future, and he immediately became energetic. He straightened his back and shouted loudly, vowing to whip all the perverts who came back later. If they were killed because of these bastards,
If the general doesn't pay everyone, that's a fatal thing.
The general has many rules, but it doesn't matter. You can only tolerate it. You can't go find a woman now. When you return to the camp, you will have time to rest. If you have money, there will always be women.
Not only Peng Jiu was secretly happy, but Liang Ji was also secretly happy. He kept looking back at the copper coins on the ox cart, which was three full carts long. Although he didn't understand at first why the general wanted to see the fat official from Dujiangyan himself.
Sometimes I put two silver coins in someone's sleeve. Now I understand. I agreed to give one thousand guan of stone money, but now it has become 1,300 guan. The reason is that there are too many stones. From now on, I will follow this practice.
Liang Ji knew that these customs included giving people two silver coins, but the extra three hundred coins made him very confused. There was no contrast between three hundred coins and two silver coins. That stupid official
, why not take three hundred coins instead of the two silver coins that you gave him? You should ask the general about this question after you go back. Maybe it is a university question. That fat official looks like a fool no matter how you look at it.
.
Liang Ji very much hopes to see his children come here as soon as possible. My wife is struggling with two children alone in Zhijiang. Food is not cheap now. I hope Guitou can come to Zhijiang soon. Their three mothers
It's better to have a full meal early.
"This money also belongs to me, Lao Liang." Liang Ji stroked the box with his hand and was overjoyed. Not only Liang Ji, but also the other sergeants' eyes widened. If anyone else took one more look at these money boxes, they would glare. (To be completed.)
