Your Majesty, please accept my worship

In two days, a group of people from Ping County who had strong hopes for the future and strong beliefs chiseled half of the small mountain according to the method of burning stones with fire taught by He Yanping.

The mountain is not big, and there are not many people. There are only 80 to [-] people. After all, there are not many strong and strong adult men, and a large part of them has to be used to repair the house. But because of the good He Yanping promised them, It made them use their inexhaustible strength and energy to work five or six hours a day without feeling tired or complaining, so they completed more than half of the project.

He Yanping didn't come for these two days, and has been wandering around with his "cousin" Zhu Rui. By the way, he talked about his future plans for Ping County. He finally talked about the same thing. When he came back and took a look, he was surprised to find that, It doesn't take two days, this mountain can be cut through!

For him, it was great news.

Because, as long as the mountain is cut through, the subsequent digging of river channels and flood diversion can be carried out.

"Your Majesty...cousin," He Yanping quickly changed his words, and after sorting out his sudden thoughts, he said, "I thought of a better way."

"Huh? Overthrow what was there before? It was already very good before." Zhu Rui was surprised. He didn't know where he was dissatisfied with the construction plan. In his opinion, everything was already very good.

"In addition to building the flood channel, my original plan was to 'cut the bend and straighten', but I suddenly found that the project was too large, not enough manpower, not enough financial resources, and it took too long. People in the county can't afford to wait, we can't just sit and eat."

Zhu Rui wanted to say, it's okay, I support you, oh no, you guys.

"I just looked at it again and found that it can be changed like this."

"In order to further control the amount of water flowing into the 'Hongze Mountain', so as to prevent the amount of water from increasing sharply during floods and insufficient when there is little rain. This kind of situation in which the amount of water in the irrigation area fluctuates and decreases. I think it is possible to approach this mountain in the Honghe River. Build a spillway!" He Yanping became more and more excited as he spoke, with an expression as if he had discovered a shocking treasure, and even his face turned red with excitement.

"Oh, the spillway?"

"Yes. There is a bend in front of the spillway, and the river flows through here to form a circulation. When the river water exceeds the built weir crest, the sediment brought by the flood can flow to the outer river without blocking the inner river.

"And this spillway can be piled up with bamboo cages filled with pebbles, so that when the sediment flows through, it will gradually fill up the gaps between the bamboo cages, and this spillway will become stronger over time! Then put a few more The marks that can measure the depth of water can be seen by the people so that they can formulate farming plans.”

As he said that, he even slapped his hands a few times. After only a few days of hard work, the originally white and smooth palms of the literati were stained with wind and frost and became rough, but they were still flushed by his excitement.

Zhu Rui did not interrupt He Yanping's ecstasy and excitement at the moment, but put his hand on his shoulder lightly, giving him support and appreciation.

This is his number one scholar, his... sweetheart.

There was a secret sense of pride in his heart that gradually flooded into his eyes.

"Okay, just let it go. I will definitely give you all the support, so that you can show your skills without any worries."

Zhu Rui didn't open his mouth, it was an emperor's promise from the bottom of his heart.

************

When it was time for dinner, a group of people had already gone back to their homes and their mothers in a mighty way. There were only three or five people left in the group, and they followed He Yanping back to the county government.

Before arriving at the county government office, I saw some people heading towards the county government office in twos and threes, or returning with a big bag of something in their hands, contented.

"Yan Ping, what are they going to do?"

Maybe it's the wrong time. It's been two days since I came to Ping County, and this is the first time Zhu Rui has seen such a situation.So many people come and go to the county government frequently.

"They, they came to receive the food."

Qinghe on the side took the conversation.

The emperor stayed with them for two days, and those who knew his true identity had changed from being in awe to kindly respecting him. They all knew that His Majesty was not such an unkind person as rumored, so Qinghe also regained some of his former liveliness.

When they entered the government office, He Yanping led him to the warehouse, and Zhu Rui could see what they were doing from a closer distance.

People from Ping County who entered the government office all went straight to the warehouse, and there were several people guarding the door.

A man who looks like a scholar is sitting behind the table, stamping a middle-aged man's brand, and then the man is happy to receive a large bag of food from someone handed over, thank you very much , left in a hurry.Just like many people I met on the road, full of joy and satisfaction.

"This is how you divide five people into one army?"

Zhu Rui remembered the contents of Zuo Qi's letter.

He Yanping nodded.

"A team of five, imitating the method of army management, forming a team of five people, and then electing a team leader to come to receive food. One card can be used for seven days, and then a new batch will be replaced. It can avoid repeated receiving food, and the old, weak, widowed and widowed are also taken care of, which can be counted as killing multiple birds with one stroke, and special treatment should be given under special circumstances."

As he said that, some people greeted He Yanping, and they didn't come forward when they saw him greeting others.

However, greetings from afar are inevitable.Therefore, along the way, He Yanping kept smiling and nodding, and then returned the salute, which showed how much he was loved by others.

"This is a good idea. Probably no one has thought of using the method of training sergeants to drive the people. It's neat."

"There is another premise. The people who died in the flood and the missing people accounted for nearly half of the population of Ping County. They had to register their household registration again and keep a record. Only in this way can Ping County start again."

Zhu Rui stopped. Although He Yanping was leading the way, he was always watching behind him.

It was difficult for him to distinguish the expressions on Emperor Ming's face, and he could only tell one or two points.

The word complex is enough.

What is Zhu Rui thinking?He was just rejoicing, rejoicing that when he let go of the other party and let him come here, not only did he show his skills, but also the people were saved. If not, what would happen to these displaced people?

He thought happily.

*********

Zhu Rui only stayed in Ping County for about ten days, and it was still due to injury.

On the day we left, the weather was also very good, the sky was bright and the air was clear, and the wind was pleasant.

It's just that He Yanping didn't come to see her off.

It's not that he disrespected His Majesty, but that Zhu Rui didn't give way.

He was afraid that when He Yanping came and saw that face that he couldn't get enough of, he wouldn't want to leave.

There is an old saying: the hardest thing to bear is beauty.

Even if he is a king, he is still eating fireworks in the world, and there will be fetters.

So he spoke righteously and grandly in front of everyone, what should "cousin" do, and don't disrupt his schedule because of him.He was only his "cousin," and after a farewell in the evening, there was no need for another farewell the next day.

Afterwards, He Yanping obediently did not come.Because he did.

Digging new river channels and building spillways are not things that the villagers here can accomplish independently. He must be present to direct and check, so as not to make any mistakes and cause future regrets.

Although reluctant, but there is no other way.

And the relationship between them, just after these four days of companionship, has also become closer from the respectful monarch and ministers to the friendship of friends.

Although this was not the emotion Emperor Ming wanted to see the most.

However, step by step, there will always be a day when you can embrace the beauty.

And now, he wants to set off to see Wan County, and privately visit the various counties of the Great Wei State under his governance.

Hmph, there is no trace this time, the "His Majesty Emperor Ming" of the Great Wei Kingdom is still lying on the dragon bed, sick!

Return

Although His Majesty Emperor Ming has no airs and gets along well with the people here, He Yanping has gone through all kinds of troubles, fearing that he will not take good care of him, so he puts down the work at hand and walks around with His Majesty every day. Familiar with the land where the ground will be broken in the future, but it also delays time.And you have to pay attention to your majesty's diet and daily life. If you neglect your majesty, it will be a big deal if your majesty gets sick or something.

Now that His Majesty is gone, we have been together since we got up every day, and we separated after the lights were turned off to rest. Now that there is no one to accompany us suddenly, I am still a little disappointed in my heart, but overall, He Yanping is still relieved.

Since Ming Emperor Zhu Rui left, the progress has been much faster.

The county residents in Ping County were organized to dig new river channels and divert water, while the women weaved bamboo cages at home and took care of the elderly. The division of labor was orderly.

Not only is it talking about the county, but the more important thing is that everyone's spirits become more full after eating and eating, and they have great hopes for the future.

There is something wrong with He Yanping.

That is to say, there is a bit of stubbornness, and when encountering things, you always hold on to your heart and rush forward, regardless of whether you can hold it, so you often fall halfway, such as now.

He was lying on the bed, so tired that he almost coughed up blood. During the day, he was stuffed into a newly dug canal, but luckily he was seen.He still supported the edge of the bed, pulled Qinghe and said that he was going to check.

But Qinghe pushed back with a word.

"The people of Ping County will not die for a day without you, young master. However, the master and wife will be heartbroken without young master. Young master, you should take care of yourself, this is also the explanation of His Majesty before leaving."

As a last resort, He Yanping had to stay in bed for three days.On the fourth day, Fei forced Qinghe to open the door for him.

How did he know that Zuo Qi and Zuo Jiu had already spread the matter far away?
