Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 611 No hurry, soon

Bianjing Kaifeng Qi County.

Because it is close to Kaifeng, Qi County is one of the famous rich counties nearby.

On this day, a festive team poured out from the county government of Qixian County. They were dressed in bright colors, beat gongs and drums, and walked towards the west of the village.

Yin Yide, magistrate of Qi County, walked in the front with a smiling face, looking very close to the people.

This Yin Yide was the colleague Luo Youdu met in Kaifeng Mansion back then. He was worried that Luo Youdu would replace him, so he made a stumbling block secretly, so Luo Youdu made a move.

Later, when Wang Jixun's incident happened, Yin Yide was apparently used by Shi Shouxin and Zhao Kuangyin, but in fact, Lao Yin was bought by Lao Yin before Fan Zhi and Wang Pu.

Then Shi Shouxin intervened in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the military officials were put together.

Because of this, Yin Yide was transferred from Fengfu to serve as county magistrate in other places.

Fast forward many years, times have changed, and with Luo Youdu's strong rise.

Yin Yide became more and more low-key and pragmatic.

After all, being an "enemy" against today's world is not something to brag about.

If you meet a small-minded person, who will you cry to?
In fact, he underestimated Luo Youdu, Luo Youdu never remembered the hatred of those who could not threaten him.

Yin Yide's promotion was not a big deal, it was the result of the investigation by the Ministry of Officials, and then approved by the Council.

As the emperor, Luo Youdu also had a look. He has always had a good memory, and he remembered Yin Yide.

Low-key, pragmatic, and competent are the criteria for a good official.

Yin Yide kept a low profile, did a lot of practical things, and his resume and qualifications were not bad. Luo Youdu also agreed with the arrangement of the Ministry of Officials, and transferred him to Qi County as the county magistrate.

It is also a county magistrate, and the county magistrate within the jurisdiction of Bianjing Kaifeng is obviously one level higher.

Yin Yide's promotion also realized that Luo Youdu didn't have any intention of haggling with him, so his spirit was greatly lifted, and he changed his previous style and reformed the administration of Qi County in a hurry.

On this day, he learned the news through internal channels that a soldier named Hu Bao in the county was actually awarded the "Violent Virtue Medal".

Prior to this, Luo Youdu had announced the meaning of the medal to the world through the imperial announcement, with the purpose of praising and highlighting the contributions of the recipients to the nation.

A total of five medals were announced this time, each with a unique meaning.

There are medals for great contributions to the imperial court in terms of Wenzhiwugong, there are also medals for major discoveries in academic research that lead culture, there are also medals for scientific innovation that lead the times, and there are medals for outstanding performance and fearless spirit.

Among them, the Haoran righteousness chapter belongs to the last one, which is taken from Mencius's saying "I am good at cultivating my noble spirit".

Compared with the miscellaneous newspapers, the imperial list is a real official document, which means the attitude of the entire court.

As soon as the imperial list is announced, it will soon be spread all over the world through the special channels of the country.

Hu Bao is a member of the Ten Generals of the Imperial Army Division. This time, he followed his boss, Commander Liu Fu of the Divine Guard, to dredge the drainage canals in the Jeju section.

Jeju is located at the corner of the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

Due to the special terrain, when the Yellow River passes through the Jeju section, it will leave a lot of sediment, so that the river bed is getting higher and higher, forming a suspended river.

Historically, the Yellow River diverted its course to the north because more and more silt accumulated downstream.

This time the flood was fierce, and because of the existence of the river control action group, many places chose the most correct response method at the first time.

Before the Yellow River flooded, the situation was under control, which gave the soldiers and the people a chance to fight.

Otherwise, if the flood breaks its embankment and disappears, with the power of science and technology of this era, even gods will not be able to save it.

Despite this prerequisite, not all lines of defense were able to withstand it.

Due to the special environment in the Jeju section, as soon as the river surged up, because the river bed was too high, it directly crossed the embankment and rushed to the villages and towns in Jeju.

Min Bo, a doctor of the Ministry of Water, has rich experience in water control. He retreated to Lu County. While evacuating the people, he took advantage of the special terrain of Lu County to build sand and embankments to cover the retreat of the people.

I thought it would be like this, as long as the person is saved, everything will be fine.

But after learning that the Forbidden Army was going north, Min Bo continued to lead the fight against the flood in Lu County in order to buy time for the Forbidden Army.

In the face of natural disasters, manpower is limited after all.

Min Bo exhausted all means and persisted for five precious days.

But only five days.

The flood came so fast that many people could not retreat in time.

Either they were swept away by the flood, or they hid in high places, causing heavy casualties.

The news reached the ears of Liu Fu, the commander of the nearby Shenwei Army.

Liu Fu immediately organized a rescue operation.

Hu Bao volunteered to stand up...

The Imperial Camp Division was created by Luo Youdu. He had endowed the Imperial Camp Division with the habits of soldiers at the beginning of its establishment, but he did not formally propose it.

Military regulations and military laws are implemented according to the standards of soldiers. Affected by the times, some people don't take it seriously, but because of the military laws, they dare not resist.

But some people regard it as faith.

Hu Bao is one of them.

Hu Bao and Luo Youdu have a certain relationship.

When Luo Youdu was working in Kaifeng Mansion, he tried a case of killing cattle.

It was that case that made Luo Youdu meet Zhang Qiong...

In order to save a little girl, Zhang Qiong killed a cow.

In order to make a living, the owner of the cow played a rogue and asked Zhang Qiong to pay for the cow.

The owner of the cow is Hu Sanzhuang, and Hu Bao is the eight-year-old grandson he mentioned.

But in fact, Hu Sanzhuang deliberately made Hu Bao younger, in order to arouse Luo Youdu's sympathy.

Luo Youdu settled the case by exchanging a dead cow for a live cow.

Hu Sanzhuang was grateful to Luo Youdu, regarded him as the master of Qingtian, and set him a ranking for longevity.

Hu Bao was also deeply affected. After he became an adult, he joined the Imperial Army Division. As a young and vigorous man, he had no doubts about Luo Youdu's military philosophy, and turned it into faith.

During this trip to the north for rescue, Hu Bao gave up his life and saved 21 people in the flood.

Such a deed is a feat.

After Luo Youdu heard the news, he also found it unbelievable. Apart from the army of later generations, is there really such a hero who is not afraid of death?

Immediately praised: "Hu Bao is upright, he should be awarded the Haoran Upright Badge as a reward!"

Five medals, Hu Bao, a small soldier, was the first to be awarded.

This kind of glory is the glory of the whole county, and it will be written into the county annals and will last forever.

Because of this, Yin Yide beat gongs and drums, announcing the neighbors, and announcing the good news to the Hu family.

At the same time, Dong Jue was weakly dealing with the matchmaker in front of him, talking about his daughter's marriage, but there was not much joy on his face, and he always felt that it was not a good taste.

Dong Jue is from a poor family in Qi County. His real name is Dong Yu. His ancestor is Dong Xuan in the Eastern Han Dynasty.Because people are fussy, they call him Dong Shuan.

Dong Ji is more stingy than others, but he gave birth to a beautiful daughter.

But it happened that this flowery daughter betrothed early, Hu Bao from the village.

When this marriage was settled, Hu Bao's father, Hu Sheng, saved Wang Yanchao's life, and the limelight was in full swing.

Dong Jiju got engaged to the Hu family, but Hu Sheng died in Gaoping the next year.

Dong Ji is more regretful than before, and has long wanted to abandon the marriage.

Especially in these years, the status of literati has been greatly improved.

The literati's natural disdain for Wu Fu made Dong Qiao determined to regret the marriage.

It's just that Dong's daughter doesn't want to do such a dirty thing, she insists on not wanting to.

Father and daughter are deadlocked...

Until this time the imperial army went north...

With the development of the situation, not only the soldiers have a sense of honor, but the overall status of the soldiers in China has been raised to a higher level.

Soldiers are no longer unpopular reckless men, but soldiers who can stand shoulder to shoulder with literati.

As one of the top ten generals in the Forbidden Army, Hu Bao already has the qualifications to marry Dong's daughter.

Dong Jue was no longer fighting mandarin ducks, and agreed to the marriage.

But in fact, Dong Juai has been waiting for the price. At present, Yin Yide's son, Yin Yu, and Yuan Bo, the Jinke Jinshi in the village, are in his eyes. Although they are from the top three and Jinshi, they still have great investment value...

Anything is more suitable than Hu Bao.

Dong Jue recognized his status as a soldier, but Hu Bao was clearly inferior to Yuan Bo in his eyes, let alone Yin Yu.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, Dong Jigai waved his hand and said, "Let's do it this way, anyway, the Hu family boy can't come up with any decent dowry."

He dismissed the matchmaker and sighed alone.

There is a feeling of regret.

Until Zhou Jiju heard about Hu Bao's deeds...

Hu Bao is the real gold mine...

Soldiers, medals!
Dong Jue rolled his eyes, he had met Bao, and hurriedly said: "Quick, go and call Miss."

Whether Dong Jue's marriage with the Hu family will be successful is another matter, but Dong Jue's attitude has already seen a change in thinking.

There are many examples like Dong Kuai’s...

Although others don't have the highest honor of awe-inspiring righteousness like Hu Bao, there has been a saying in this world that marrying a man is like marrying a hero.

There is no doubt that the hero man refers to the soldier.

**********
As the Yellow River flood subsided, the weather soon turned cooler.

Luo Youdu finished his official duties early this day.

After the aftermath caused by the Yellow River went down, the court was back on track again.

Luo Youdu was also able to breathe a sigh of relief and had some time to rest.

Walking out of Yanhe Hall, a gust of cold wind blew by, and Luo Youdu couldn't help shivering.

Before I knew it, it was winter again, I smacked my mouth, and had the idea of ​​drinking some wine to warm up, and Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin naturally came to mind.

He is very good at controlling interpersonal relationships, and most of the Korean, Chinese and military are exposed to rain and dew.

Not enough Every time I want to drink, the first thing that comes to mind is Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin.

These two old brothers are not only monarchs and ministers, but also good friends, and they are one of the few who can talk intimately.

"Go and call the Commander-in-Chief of the Palace and Commander Shidu, and tell me that I have opened an altar of good wine here!"

Luo Youdu walked quickly to the Hall of Wende and asked people to prepare food and drink. After thinking for a while, he said, "Go and get some more Shaozi, these things are rare."

Shaozi is the rambutan of later generations, also known as mao lychee. It is a specialty of the Malay Peninsula. It likes to grow in high temperature and humid areas, and it is extremely rare in the Central Plains.

Like lychees, this thing should not be stored for a long time. It will change color and develop spots after three days at room temperature. Even if it is refrigerated in ice, it will only keep fresh for about ten days.

Luo Youdu set up a layout in the southeast, and established a military base in Puro, which was under the jurisdiction of Sri Lanka, which is later Singapore.

Now the South China Sea navy is rampant over the South China Sea, and it has enough deterrent power against Southeast Asian countries.

In order to please Luo Youdu, the emperor of the suzerain country, the countries in Southeast Asia are doing everything they can.

Under normal transportation, it is difficult for rambutan to be transported from the Malay Peninsula to Bianjing.

Even if it is like Concubine Yang, it is not enough to specially open up the litchi road.

But people come up with the way...

The Prince of Chenla, who is also the enemy's crouching dragon and phoenix, thought of a good way to directly take the rambutan tree, the tree, the roots and the soil, and take the sea boat all the way north.

The rambutan tree cannot adapt to the northern climate, but it has a process of death.

The rambutan is fresh on the tree before it dies completely.

Through this special method, Prince Chenla successfully let Luo Youdu, who is far away in Bianjing, eat the freshest rambutan.

Luo Youdu couldn't do without this kind of rare fruit to entertain friends like Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin.

Not long after, Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin arrived at Wende Hall together.

Luo Youdu greeted them to sit down and eat fruit.

Looking at the thorny rambutan, Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin both showed expressions that had never seen the world.

Luo Youdu smiled and said: "It's good to eat like lychee. It's called Shaozi in the book, but I like to call it rambutan. To be honest, the taste is not as good as lychee. It's just to let you see the world and try something new, or drink it." Lord."

Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin understood that it was rambutan.

Han Lingkun is indeed not as sweet as lychees.

But Shi Shouxin has a strong taste, he likes to eat sweet and sour, rambutan is more his appetite, said: "I think rambutan tastes better."

Luo Youdu smiled and said: "Then you take some more back home. By the way, the film on the surface of the pulp is not good for your health if you eat it, so don't eat it."

Just as we were talking, Shangshi Bureau had already delivered food and wine.

Fenjiu, which is mainly composed of the fragrance of apricot blossoms, has been roasted over a warm fire, and the fragrance fills the hall, making people's index fingers move.

Luo Youdu drank all kinds of famous wine during the dinners of later generations, no matter it was white, red or beer, but it was not as good as the shochu he drank in ancient times.

Fenjiu can taste sweet-scented osmanthus, and Jimo old wine can taste the aroma of millet...

Perhaps the purification technology is higher, but the taste is gone.

After drinking the hot wine, my body immediately warmed up.

Luo Youdu chatted with two old friends, and asked casually: "How is the morale in the army?"

Han Lingkun said with fiery eyes, "Soldiers can fight."

Compared with Han Lingkun's reservedness, Shi Shouxin laughed outright, and said, "Your Majesty, when do you plan to send troops to the Northern Expedition? With these soldiers in Lao Shi's hands, they can still be defeated, so just wipe their necks."

The promotion of soldiers' status and the appearance of honor and belief.

Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin, who were generals in charge of the army, clearly noticed that the momentum of the soldiers in their hands was completely different from before.

Originally, due to the shackles of military regulations, the murderous arrogance in the veterans of the five generations is gradually dissipating.

The equipment is indeed excellent, but the soldiers' desire to fight and the desire to win are obviously not as good as before, and their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.

But now, the two of them keenly felt that the current forbidden army had an indescribable aura, which was stronger than that unrestrained murderous aura.

Luo Youdu said contentedly: "No hurry, it will be soon."

　Something happened at home, the update is late, sorry!
