Chapter 2 Friends from afar

"Get your bags ready, it looks like you and I are going to the border." Di Qing closed the secret report on the table, said to Yunzheng, and planned to go down to the cabin to make some necessary preparations.

"No, I told them that I was going to Qinzhou years ago, but they didn't allow me to go. If I had gone at that time, I could have slowly made arrangements, and maybe I could even plan for the Hehuang land. Now

They were all ready to fight, so they wanted to send me there. Who can fight this kind of uncertain battle well? I should win, but I’m unlucky if I lose. If I don’t go, I’ll be sick!”

Di Qing smiled and said: "If you and I don't go, who will? If we can't win, who can win? Don't lose your temper. You are saying that we are not fighting for a certain person, but for the common people.

, in this case, what else can't you figure out? Come and get ready, your family must be settled before you can go out to fight with peace of mind."

Di Qing was very excited when he heard that there was a fight to be fought. He pressed his hands on the floor of the wooden house and flew off the wall without any sense of being offended.

Yun Zheng carried his daughter out of the cabin. The child was already fast asleep, but a small hand was holding one of her father's ears and wouldn't let go. This child has this problem. When sleeping with her mother, she likes to put her hand on her mother's chest.

Yes, I like to scratch my ears when sleeping with my dad.

In the past, Miss Yun Luoluo slept by herself. She was frightened by the spring thunder in the spring. From then on, she liked to run to her parents' bed. She would not sleep without holding something in her hand, and she could not push them away.

The Yun family is quiet. Everyone in the family has gone to Zhuangzi to provide disaster relief. This year, the Yun family is not the only one guarding the Yellow River to irrigate the fields. The banks of the Yellow River are too high, and the water level this year is very low. It is enough to overturn the car.

No, as for Jue Meng, who is even more useless, there is also a man who wants to use "Ke Wu" to absorb water. These are naturally useless. The fields are higher than the water surface. If "Ke Wu" can absorb water, he must be.

With the help of ghosts and gods, barrel carts have been built everywhere in Sichuan. Yun Zheng couldn't figure out why these people didn't use "tube carts"? In later generations, the barrel carts on the banks of the Yellow River were said to be as dense as a forest.

The emperor began to issue the edict to sin against oneself again. After the edict to sin against oneself, God did not even drop a drop of rain. The bells in the temples, Taoist temples, nunneries, and aunt's temples in Tokyo city rang endlessly.

Wang Anshi said that man can conquer heaven, so instead of asking for help from the Emperor of Heaven, it is better to do it yourself.

Yun Zheng agreed with Wang Anshi's words with both hands and feet, but what this guy did later made Yun Zheng's jaw drop to the ground. This guy actually volunteered to pick up a bucket and came outside the city from the Yellow River.

I don’t know whose fields it belongs to carrying water for irrigation...

Two Hundred and Five's approach actually caused those guys in Tokyo who were fishing for fame to rush to lead their families to fetch water. For a while, the banks of the Yellow River were overcrowded.

I don’t know how much land Wang Anshi poured. It’s probably not too much, but there are a lot of people participating. This is capital. This guy actually wrote a memorial, hoping that the emperor and empress could set an example for the people of the world and go to the river embankment to pick out the land in person.

Shui also said that as long as people's hearts are united, the mountains will move. This shows that this guy is seriously affected by the "Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountains".

It seems that the emperor really had no choice, so he took his eldest wife and three younger wives to the river embankment to fetch water, so that everyone could see how beautiful his wives were.

When the emperor showed off his wife in this way, none of the old guys who were usually very strict about rules raised any objections. Instead, they knelt on the embankment of the Yellow River and shouted "Long live!"

"Husband, you haven't seen that Your Majesty is really carrying water. The Queen is also carrying water, but Concubine Shu is carrying the most. As for the other Queens, their buckets are only as big as bowls!"

Lu Qingqing was wearing a blue linen dress with a piece of linen wrapped around her head. She was dressed the same as the aunties in the countryside. Ge Qiuyan was also dressed like this. I heard that this is the most fashionable dress in Tokyo. As long as it is

Women from good families are like this. Even the ladies in the palace no longer wear silk and satin, and all wear coarse cloth instead. As for silk and satin, it has become the work clothes of prostitutes.

"Would you and Qiu Yan, two big-bellied women, be forced to fetch water by Wang Anshi? If so, I will go to Wang Anshi with a copper hammer to settle the account. I will forget about my stupidity, and the emperor who has been harmed will also become

It’s no brainer, and it bothers my big-bellied woman to fetch water.”

There was a small stain on Lu Qingqing's face, which seemed to be stained with dust. Yun Zheng took out his handkerchief and wiped it off, curling his lips.

"Husband, I don't dare to say that. Wang Anshi is standing on the embankment and dispatching his troops. Most people with such a majestic appearance don't dare to come close! The officials and families obey his dispatch."

"That's natural. I stayed far away from your husband when I went to court, for fear that lice would crawl over and it would be bad..."

"..."

"Has our land been watered yet?"

"No, I just poured a little bit. You don't know, husband, that if you pour a bucket of water, you can only pour a little bit of water. The ground will be dry before the second bucket is poured. It doesn't take much labor from our family."

"Yun Er is making a barrel wheel, also called a water wheel. It should be completed. You can watch it and install it tomorrow. I heard a few days ago that they have installed the base on the river bed. It should be installed tomorrow.

If the water tanker is turned on, there will always be water to irrigate our wheat."

Yun Zheng rocked his daughter's hammock. This child, like himself, liked some weird things.

"Husband, it's impossible. The barrel carts in Sichuan are usually set up on streams. The water level of the Yellow River is too low for the barrel carts to reach."

Yun Zheng sighed and looked at Lu Qingqing and said: "You better not see Wang Anshi in the future, or you may contract a stupid disease. He said the same thing when I brought it up in the court, and said it was a strange and obscene trick. I was too lazy.

If you argue with him, I should make it clear to you, lest people say that the Yun family married a stupid wife.'

Lu Qingqing slapped her husband angrily and said, "The barrel carts in Shu are just too small!"

Yun Zheng pushed his wife aside angrily and said angrily: "You are stupid, but you are really stupid. You know it is too small, so you can't build a big one? The height of the water wheel to lift water is related to the diameter of the wheel.

The river bank is three feet higher than the water surface. If we make a waterwheel wheel with a diameter of more than three feet, wouldn't it be over? The waterwheels in Shu are all driven by small streams. Of course, we can only build small ones. This is the Yellow River. How big a waterwheel is with the rapid current?

Can’t carry it?”

When Ge Qiuyan saw Lu Qingqing's green face and didn't know what to say, she couldn't help but laugh, and was driven away by Lu Qingqing with a feather duster.

"Husband, do you dislike this Wang Anshi? You will offend him completely by doing this. He is very proud now. Once our water tanker is installed, he will become the laughing stock of the whole world.

Already."

It doesn't matter if her husband calls her a stupid bitch, Lu Qingqing is more concerned about the political risks involved.

"What Wang Anshi likes to do most is to coerce the masses and borrow their power for his own use, and then use the masses' name to ask for power from the country. This drought is very serious, but as long as the methods are appropriate, the losses will be reduced.

Within a bearable range, Wang Anshi's wisdom could not have imagined that there are countless ways to use in the world, but he chose the most stupid way, which uses the most manpower. Do you know why? Is it for

He accumulated popularity. Once a guy appeared in the Song Dynasty who "has gathered the popularity of people in the world for thirty years", this guy would be able to dominate the court. Even an old fox like Pang Ji was no match for him.

If you don’t believe me, Wang Anshi’s actions these days must have made Pang Ji and Han Qi very dissatisfied. As long as our waterwheel is erected and can draw water to the river bank, someone will naturally deal with him. Since he is in the court

If you say that Kit Kat's obscene skills are not worthy of grace, you should be prepared for me to fight back. If I don't fight back, I will be looked down upon by others!"

Seeing that her husband had thought everything through, Lu Qingqing thought for a while, patted the table and said, "Husband, if you think this is feasible, I will invite all the ladies in the capital to come to the river to watch tomorrow. He Wang Anshi

If you dare to look down on your husband, I will make him become the biggest joke in Tokyo!"

Yun Zheng chuckled and said: "That's good, I guess I'll be going out soon. It would be nice for Mrs. Yun's family to establish a prestige. By the way, don't forget to give Yun Er, Su Shi and the others a reputation, maybe Yun

The official title of Er Yinbu can still be promoted by one liter."

"That's natural!" Lu Qingqing looked like a general at this moment.

Yun Zheng is looking forward to Lu Qingqing and Yun Er's performance tomorrow, but he can't go. Once he goes, he will become a mortal enemy. Thinking about Wang Anshi's huge power in the future, things still can't be done.

In the afternoon, Lao Liao said that someone came to visit him. He was still an old friend, but he looked a little miserable.

Yun Zheng could hardly believe his eyes. The man in front of him, who was gorgeously dressed and covered in jewels, turned out to be a Khmer monk Ye Sou. Not only was he here, but he was also accompanied by four guys who looked similar to monkeys.

, sitting on the Yun family's expensive sandalwood chair, twisting his body around as if his whole body was covered with lice.

Yun Zheng opened his mouth and took Ye Sou's hands and said, "Master, you have come all the way from thousands of miles away. Was it a smooth journey?"

The old man opened his big mouth and smiled with his white teeth: "The monk knows that you are not someone who doesn't recognize his old friends. It's true!"

Yun Zheng smiled and said: "I said when we were intertwined, the door of the Yun family will always be open to you. You can come at any time if you want. No matter what trouble you encounter in the capital, you can come to me."

Seeing that the Marquis seemed to be very familiar with these savages, Lao Liao quickly ordered the people to prepare food. He himself made tea and served it. When he turned around, he saw monkeys and stupid cows squatting beside the leather bags brought by the savages and rummaging around.

It's rude to pick it up.

The monkey took out a piece of thick ivory and shouted at Ye Sou: "Master Ye Sou, didn't you bring some crocodile teeth? The crocodile tooth chain you made for me before was taken away." (To be continued)
