Chapter 130: A beam of water attacking the sand
Ye Hua was very excited because he encountered the legendary stopping and shouting for justice.
Although this kind of vulgar plot is popular in opera and has been passed down for a long time, it is actually impossible. The emperor is begging and there are so many people who protect him. Whoever dares to come forward must be regarded as an assassin. He is either shot into a sieve by a crossbow or chopped into meat sauce. It is not unfair to deal with it.
This time, Guo Wei came in contempt. There were not many people around him, and the chaotic location was more than 100 meters away from them. Even so, it made Mr. Guo very angry.
What's going on with a bright world?
When the guards saw the emperor angry, they immediately activated the war horses and captured everyone.
Whether it was an official or an ordinary person, they were covered in mud and dirty. They didn't know that Guo Wei was the emperor, but they knew that he was a big shot. They all knelt on the ground and kept begging for mercy.
The leading official even cried and kept shouting for justice, "The young people acted on orders, they are really acted on orders!"
Ye Hua frowned slightly. He had a good memory and the guy in front of him looked familiar!
"You are Li Qing, right?"
The leading official looked up in a hurry and saw Ye Hua. He was stunned for a while. The young man grew up fast and changed a lot, so he could only vaguely see his face.
He rubbed his eyes, "You, are you Shi Tou's friend?"
Ye Hua smiled, "You wanted to be an official in Kaifeng Prefecture, but now it seems that you have got what you want?"
Li Qing cried, "Help, whoever wants to do this official, I'd better go back to prison and squat, at least you don't have to be scolded!"
Ye Hua's face sank, "Stop talking nonsense, noble people are here, please explain it clearly. Why are you chasing people? Otherwise, you can't even eat prison meals, just eat the dead end!"
"Hey, hey!"
Li Qing was so scared that his voice changed. He was the gangster who had made Fan Zhi famous outside the Zhuque Gate and reported the thief to steal.
After hard work, he really became an official in Kaifeng Prefecture. He was very motivated at first and wanted to change his mind and become a decent person. Only a few months ago, the court began to recruit people, especially after the spring plowing, the number of people recruited was more, with tens of thousands.
They were all pulled to the Bian River to be responsible for clearing the canal transportation.
Not long ago, Fan Zhi came to supervise the worker himself and issued a death order to clear the Bian River before the flood season.
It's easy to say but hard to do.
The civil servants worked day and night, but for decades, they had not been completely cleaned up. The rivers were silted by mud and sand, so it was not so easy to get rid of. The court urged them tightly, and many civil servants could not bear the fatigue and fled one after another.
Li Qing was responsible for taking people to chase after him. He caught up and beat him. When he went back to work, he couldn't catch up, so they were beaten.
In just a few days, my butt was changed into a layer of skin.
It turns out that this official is not easy to be a tycoon, and it is not easy to eat official meals!
Li Qing really cried.
He snotted and cried, and finished the matter, and asked the young men again. They were full of bitterness. The court said that there were only 20 days of corvee labor every year, but it was only one month long, and he was not allowed to go home. Seeing that the rainy season came, no one's houses should be repaired, and drainage ditches should be dug in the fields.
As a result, the court refused to let go of people, and dog officials ignored human lives. They saw with their own eyes that the exhausted civilians were dragged away. They heard that they were buried alive. How could they not run away?
After hearing these words from both sides, Guo Wei became very angry.
What they said was true, the official in charge of the river work really deserved to die!
But the problem is, the person who built the river is Fan Zhi!
Guo Wei’s most trusted prime minister, is this something that Mr. Fan can do?
Or did his subordinates do whatever they wanted without him?
Guo Wei glanced at Chai Rong and Ye Hua, "Let's go, follow me to see it with your own eyes!"
Ye Hua's workshop is on the Wuzhang River, and the Bian River runs south.
When they arrived at the Bian River, they were indeed all civil servants, lit lanterns and torches, and were still working on construction. Ye Hua urged him to step forward and saw a person in charge who was commanding the civil servants. He asked loudly: "Do you know where Mr. Fan is? I want to find Mr. Fan!"
This doesn't matter. The other party looked up and saw Ye Hua, and came over in a few steps.
"I remembered that you are the deputy envoy of the river and canal, and you are here to work for me!"
It turns out that this person is Fan Zhi!
Ye Hua really didn't dare to associate him with the prime minister of the dynasty. He was covered in mud, his clothes were damaged in several places, his flesh was exposed, his voice was hoarse, his eyes were red, his face was full of beard, he was haggard and embarrassed, and he was domineering.
He held Ye Hua and refused to let go. At this time, many monkeys were more than three more strength!
Ye Hua was amused and crying, "Don't be busy for now, Mr. Fan, come with me."
When they arrived in front of Guo Wei and Chai Rong, the two were waiting under the tree. When Fan Zhi saw it, he was so scared that he was so scared that he quickly lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, this place is dangerous, hurry back to the palace!"
Guo Weiyu said angrily: "I am not afraid of thousands of troops, will I be afraid of some civilians? Mr. Fan, what are you doing? Why are you so embarrassed?"
Fan Zhi had no choice but to tell the truth.
He took on the task of clearing the Bian River since last year. The original plan was to be completed this year. Fan Zhi was also confident. Who knew that he had encountered trouble. The riverbed was too silted and had already been leveled. Fan Zhi had to reopen a section of the river, and the project volume increased by half. This spring, because of the land order, he encouraged farmers and sericultures, and could not recruit people. After finally the spring plowing ended, Fan Zhi personally supervised the work and rushed slowly, as it seemed that the rainy season was not far away.
There is still a lot of time not finished.
Lao Fan had no choice but to work day and night, and he would have a life of life!
The water transport of the Bian River is related to the food security of the capital and whether Jinqiu can successfully send troops to conquer the Southern Tang Dynasty. As the prime minister, Fan Zhi dared to neglect national affairs.
After listening to it, everyone also sympathized with Fan Zhi very much, and it was really not easy for him.
"Mr. Fan, you forced the civilians to death and buried the people alive again. Is this a matter?" Chai Rong asked.
Fan Zhi immediately shook his head, "King Jin, this matter is definitely a misunderstanding. I just let someone take the fainted civilians to the clinic for treatment and recuperation. They did not die, nor did they bury them alive."
Everyone can trust Fan Zhi’s character, most of which is a misunderstanding.
But the question is what to do with the Bian River canal transportation?
If you continue to work hard, you will be exhausted. Who will be responsible for the consequences?
If you don’t have any chance of death, the canal will not be cleared, the grain will not be transported, the soldiers will not be able to go south, and the merchants will not be able to communicate, which seems to be even more serious.
What to choose is really troublesome!
After Fan Zhi finished telling the situation, he took a deep breath and said, "It was the old minister who was incompetent and failed the holy grace. Now there are only 10 days. We must clear the Bian River. How many sins are there? The old minister is willing to bear it with all his strength. I only hope that Your Majesty can forgive the old minister's family. The old minister is very grateful!"
Fan Zhi is going to throw his life away!
Guo Wei's brow was so shady that he seemed very embarrassed. He had to clear the river, but Fan Zhi could not be damaged, and he also had to protect the hearts of the people... All three must be taken into account, but things are not that easy!
Guo Wei subconsciously looked at Ye Hua, wondering if this kid can help him solve his problems?
Ye Hua listened carefully, "Mr. Fan, I want to ask you how you clear the canal transportation, does it take so many people?"
Fan Zhi snorted, "If the champion Hou is curious, just look at it. It is hard for you to be the deputy envoy of the river channel, and you don't even know how to clear the river channel!"
Ye Hua rolled his eyes. He had more official positions. I'm sorry, he didn't really take the deputy envoy of Hequ in his eyes.
Immediately, several guards were asked to lanterns, and Ye Hua followed him to the river bank to see how the construction was done with his own eyes. After walking around, when Ye Hua came back, his nose was crooked.
"Mr. Fan, no wonder the civilians can't stand it!"
Fan Zhiqiang suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth and asked, "What are the great ideas of Champion Hou?"
Ye Hua said twice, "There is no question of high opinion, it's just four words!"
"What four words?"
"Bind the water and attack the sand!"
