Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 277 The expression given to Heshen, the strange situation on the other side

On the embankment?

He Shen was taken aback?What is this going to do?
Could it be that there is too much money, and I can't put it down here?
If this is the case, I am a little moved again, and I don’t know how much...

But isn't it a bit ostentatious to put it on the embankment?People who come and go can see...

How fierce the struggle in He Shen's heart is, no outsider can know, but he honestly followed the big households to the direction of the dam.

From a long distance, one could hear the blowing and blowing from the front. He Shen looked around and saw that there was a bustling scene under the embankment. extending over the embankment.

And on the top of the red silk pavement, there is a huge square object, covered under the red silk cloth, its overall shape is similar to many boxes filled with silver ingots stacked together, it looks very mysterious... and tempting.

"Old Zheng..."

He Shen withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Zheng Chen beside him.

"Haha~"

Zheng Chen was in a particularly good mood today, and he stretched out his hand to signal with a smile: "My lord, please!"

The surrounding gentry also booed, and He Shen could only smile and walk with them through the two rows of flowery buildings, all the way to the embankment.

Today's wind is a bit strong, and the flower buildings below seem to have just been moved out, and just as Mr. He and a group of squires came up, the freshness just now was destroyed by gusts of river wind.

But their interest was not affected in the slightest, and they stepped onto the embankment with adults, shaking the few bright red petals on their clothes.

The somewhat murky river below is surging, and under the push of the strong wind, it looks more turbulent and wild, as if it can swallow everything in the world.

He Shen and others walked on the embankment, and the continuous solidity under their feet gave them a great sense of security.

Although this section of stone embankment, which has been intensively built and expedited since last year, is less than five miles long, it is now in use.

Of course, its usefulness is not only to let you adults have a good political performance, but also includes another aspect.

Behind the long embankment for several miles, there are circles of ring-shaped embankments that have been preliminarily built. Rivers flow out from the embankments that have been reserved in advance, distributing the pressure on the embankment and bringing pressure to the farmland behind. water source for irrigation...

Just looking at the people standing among the ridges, with satisfied smiles on their faces and looking forward to a good harvest, you know that the levee has really played a role... Although most of these people are tenants, they are also farming for others.

"My lord, the scenery is infinitely beautiful!"

Zheng Chen led a group of squires, and followed He Shen step by step with a bright smile.

"Not bad……"

He Shen also smiled and withdrew his gaze from looking outside the embankment, and turned to look at Zheng Chen.

Of course, during this period, the peripheral vision from the corner of his eye inevitably passed over the huge object shrouded in red silk in front of him.

"The changes brought to Xingyang by Mr. He are definitely more than that. This is not just a levee. This is Xingyang's century-old stability and prosperity..."

Zheng Chen had a lot of good things to say, and the atmosphere in the crowd was warm and harmonious. The group walked while talking, and soon came to the red cloth.

The huge red silk was firmly tied to the unknown object below by the rope, but even so, it continued to swell under the strong wind, highlighting the outline below.

This makes it a little less mysterious and anticipating.

"...It's just that there is still a feast that will never end in the world."

Zheng Chen's speech also came to an end, with a bit of regret in his tone: "In this eventful autumn, the world is in chaos, and as a minister of the imperial court, His Majesty's reliance, now it is normal for you to return to Beijing after receiving the imperial decree. .”

"Although Xingyang still needs to be with the adults, but the old man thinks that the whole Dagan should be more with the adults!"

He said this not only to He Shen, but also to these gentry.

"But Mr. He has done so much for me in Xingyang, before we leave, I have to show something!"

"This is my duty..." He Shen laughed dryly, what is this?How can it be expressed in such a place?

It's just that as soon as his words came out of his throat, he was interrupted by the excited country gentry.

"That's right! I, Xingyang, is the hometown of etiquette, so naturally I want to repay my kindness!"

"I will never forget the kindness of my lord~"

"My lord, don't refuse today..."

Amidst shouts of gratitude, Zheng Chen pulled He Shen slowly to the huge red silk.

"My lord, please!"

He reached out his hand towards the thing, obviously wanting He Shen to uncover it.

"Come together, Mr. Zheng, let's come together!" He Shen also smiled and asked Zheng Chen to come together.

Although he didn't know what kind of medicine was bought in the coffins of these old people, but just now when the wind blew a corner of the silk cloth, He Shen vaguely saw that it didn't seem to be a box, but more like a stone...

This sense of anticipation suddenly fell to the bottom.

Zheng Chen smiled and did not refuse, and stood on the other side of the red cloth.

"My lord, as early as when the construction of this embankment started, the old man and all the sages from the village had this idea, but they never had the chance to implement it."

He paused for a moment, and said with some emotion: "In Xingyang these days, under the command of Master He, I have resisted the spring flood this year. The gratitude in my heart is beyond words, and it coincides with Master He returning to Beijing soon. It was urgent to build this thing on the embankment."

He didn't keep it secret either, but directly said to He Shen with a smile: "Master He, let's uncover it."

"it is good."

He Shen looked back at him with a smile.

Liu Quan, who was standing by the side, hurried up and untied the rope tied at the bottom. Amidst the laughter of the surrounding gentry, He Shen uncovered the red silk.

There is really a stone under the cover.

But this is not an ordinary stone, its whole body is indigo blue, it has been cut into a square shape, one side faces the surging Yellow River, and the other side faces the people working on the shore. "!"
He Shen's eyes widened a bit: "Old Zheng, what are you..."

Zheng Chen smiled slightly, and completely tore off the red cloth from the other side: "Master He, Cao Min and others named this embankment without authorization, and I hope Sir He will not blame you."

"This... this is too inappropriate..."

He Shen coughed lightly and blamed: "This embankment was not built by me, but by the sages of the village and many old folks in Xingyang!"

"How can I covet this merit?"

"He adults are too modest!"

Zheng Chen shook his head with a smile: "If Wuhe lord, how could we build this embankment?"

The surrounding gentry also echoed loudly.

"Yes, sir, you don't have to be modest!"

"We not only need to build this monument, but also build a living shrine..."

"You can't live in a ancestral hall, that's too much!" He Shen refused sternly.

"My lord is right, the people in Xingyang survived the flood because of you! How can a living temple be enough? Every village along the river must have one..."

Just when He Shen and these people were about to refuse to welcome back, the sharp-eyed Liu Quan suddenly noticed that there were fireworks rising on the other side of the river, and there was a group of small people with black dots, faintly moving around where the fireworks were set off.

"Master? Master?"

Liu Quan tugged at He Shen's sleeves, stared at the other side of the river in doubt and said, "What do you think is that?"
