Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 310 Yang Lian’s Wrath

"They are all dressed up as beasts!"

"They are all polite scum!"

Angry voices rang out in a thatched hut, and the official robes splattered with mud looked so dazzling. The people standing in the hut all looked at the emotional Yang Lian with sad expressions on their faces.

bang~
There was a sudden thunder, and then lightning suddenly appeared in the sky. The rain outside the hut seemed to be a little heavier than before, and it fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

Heavy rains for many days have raised the water level of the Yellow River flowing through Kaifeng Prefecture.

Compared with the stability of the capital, it seems that stability in other parts of the Ming Dynasty is a luxury. Either they suffered from disasters or they were forced to hold on, and the lives of the people at the bottom were very miserable.

"Master Qingtian, don't just scold those turtle grandchildren. Think about what to do."

Seeing that the rain outside the shed was getting a little heavier, a thin old man looked at Yang Lian with a sad face and said: "The water level there is rising very much now. If the required wood reinforcement cannot be solved, if there is a summer flood, I'm afraid this embankment is really prone to collapse."

"Yes, Master Qingtian."

"What do you think about this matter?"

"We can't waste it like this."

When the old man said this, the other people standing in the shed became excited and gathered around Yang Lian, talking to each other.

On the other hand, when Yang Lian was angrily scolding the officials who were blaming each other, he had an expression of hatred and hatred, but when facing these river workers, he could not say a word.

say what?
Everyone placed their hopes on him. They had repeatedly emphasized before that they could solve all the problems they encountered, but now they were left hanging here.

Yang Lian now is very different from when he was in Beijing.

Not only has he become much thinner, he has also become slovenly, and the official robes he is wearing are all rotten, but Yang Lian doesn't care at all. You must know that in the past, these were the things Yang Lian couldn't stand.

"Everyone, everybody."

The book boy standing nearby saw that his master was silent, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "First of all, I want to ask my master to be quiet. He has not had a good rest for many days since he came to this embankment. You guys go to inspect the various parts of the embankment first. I Look, it’s raining hard again, don’t let anything go wrong.”

Several river workers who gathered around Yang Lian saw what the boy said and looked at the tired Yang Lian. Although they had a lot to say, they thought that Yang Lian had been staying at the embankment for many days. Go up and reinforce the embankment with them. They also know that Yang Lian is very tired.

"Hey~ let's go and see what the situation is like everywhere."

"Ah~"

"Go, go."

There were long and short sighs in the hut, but these sounds were like knives, piercing Yang Lian's heart one after another. Yang Lian could feel the loss, even disappointment...

In the past, when these river workers first saw him, they all showed fear on their faces and did not dare to approach him at all. They thought that he was an official and it was not good to be too close to him.

But as time went by, Yang Lian spent time with them, the distance between them became closer, and they even talked more, but Yang Lian's mentality changed... "Yang Zhong, do you think this master is very... inability?"

Looking at the backs of those river workers, Yang Lian gradually disappeared under the rain curtain. Yang Lian, whose eyes were reddish, said to the book boy beside him with his hands trembling slightly.

"How can the master say this?"

Hearing this, Yang Zhong hurriedly said: "Others don't know, but I know, I know what I have done since I left Beijing for Henan and other places, I know everything..."

"What's the use?"

Yang Lian waved his hand and interrupted: "The Yellow River embankment in Kaifeng Prefecture is the most vulnerable in the entire Henan province. When brother Yi Zhi left Henan, he repeatedly emphasized to a certain person that he must take good care of the embankment, and pay special attention to it. During summer floods and autumn floods, if embankments fail or pipes surge, the consequences will be disastrous."

As he spoke, tears actually flowed down the corners of Yang Lian's eyes.

The longer Yang Lian stayed in Henan, the more he discovered that the sage books he had read in the past were of no use when facing some difficulties.

Even when he was inspecting various places in Henan, Yang Lian knew too many things that he didn't know before. Yang Lian had witnessed all the various situations in the world, but these things were mentioned in just a few sentences in the report submitted to the capital. , a certain place was hit by a serious flood, destroying thousands of hectares of farmland and destroying houses...

When he saw this in the past, Yang Lian had no special feelings. He only knew that a certain place had been hit by a disaster. The court wanted to allocate money and food as soon as possible to provide disaster relief, so he had to go to the court to discuss regulations and advice. However, after the actual experience, Yang Lian did not dare Think about these, because these are real people! !

"Master, why don't you write a letter and take a trip to Luoyang?" Seeing this, Yang Zhong hesitated and said, "After all, Fang Zhenghua them..."

"late."

Yang Lian sighed, "If I had known that today's situation would be like this, I shouldn't have done such stupid things and looked down on eunuchs. Now I am not even as good as eunuchs, and these local officials in Kaifeng Mansion should all die." !!!"

Recalling the previous events, Yang Lian felt very regretful. If he had known that this would be the case, Fang Zhenghua and Cao Huachun sent people to deliver letters, saying that they could help with the need to strengthen the river embankment. See if there is any need, but he was high-spirited. The arrogant Yang Lian was not ashamed to be in the company of eunuchs, so after reading it, he tore up the letter written by Fang Zhenghua in front of the Xichang Changfan.

Zuo Guangdou did the same thing, because when Zuo Guangdou inspected Pizhou, Suining, Lingbi and other places, he found that there were big problems with the river embankments in these areas.

Zuo Guangdou, who has a lot of research on water conservancy, did not dare to slack off after discovering these problems. Zuo Guangdou did not even dare to imagine what serious problems would arise once summer floods or autumn floods really occurred in the area.

"Master Qingtian, something big has happened. Go and have a look."

Just as Yang Lian was sighing, a voice sounded outside the hut, which startled Yang Lian. Yang Lian thought that the embankment there had broken, so he ran out of the hut without caring about anything else.

"What happened?"

Yang Lian, who rushed out of the hut, ignored the heavy rain, grabbed the old man's hand, and said excitedly: "But where did the embankment break?"

"no no."

The old man said excitedly: "My father-in-law is here, bringing a lot of wood. Haha, all the wood used to strengthen the river embankment is enough now."

When talking about this, the old man pointed to a place, and Yang Lian, who heard this, looked along what the old man pointed and saw a huge horse team slowly moving towards the river embankment under the rain curtain. , at this moment Yang Lian was stunned on the spot, and in his mind, a passage emerged, there are too many things in this world, and they cannot be solved by just opening your mouth and saying that you can solve them, but by doing things. Talk with your feet, not your mouth! !
