A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

"Your Majesty, the scope of this drought is not large, but it is severe. Although the water level around Bianliang is very low, irrigation is still sufficient, so the drought is not bad. Even those villages far away from the river may have a hard time."

Bianliang had the largest number of officials and the largest army, so the news quickly spread to the palace.

Zhao Shu asked: "Is there any way?"

"Dig wells." Han Qi said: "Dig wells are very troublesome, there are so many fields... but I have already arranged for them to dig wells and water them as much as possible."

Zhao Shu's mood remained unchanged, "There has been no drought around Bianliang for many years, so the officials have slacked off, right?"

"Yes." Han Qi was also itching with hatred, "Those officials were negligent, which caused most of the ditches to be blocked. When the drought broke out, most of the original water conservancy projects were destroyed. Otherwise, Bianliang would not worry about this."

Bianliang has a huge water system, and its water conservancy resources are probably the highest in the Song Dynasty.

But the more so, the more shameful it becomes after encountering a drought.

"check!"

Zhao Shu said angrily: "Where is Bao Zheng? Where is he? Tell him to investigate strictly!"

He was breathing heavily. Han Qi was worried that he was ill, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Bao Zheng will go out. If he can't get anyone, he may not have the shame to come back."

Zeng Gongliang said with understanding: "Yes! Bao Zheng has been in the Third Division for a long time and is busy with paperwork every day. I'm afraid he has long been looking forward to going out and roaring. I think those officials will tremble!"

He suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, Your Majesty, I am really afraid of Bao Zheng. I wish he had better go outside to serve as an official and not come back. Otherwise, every time I hear his roar, even if I don't feel guilty, I will still feel Heart trembling."

This person had a slight problem caused by Bao Zheng's roar.

Zhao Shu's anger gradually dissipated, and then someone came to report.

"Your Majesty, the king is in Chenbu Village outside the city...he...he is digging a canal!"

What?

Zhao Shu was a little dizzy, "What kind of ditch did he dig?"

The visitor said: "The village of Chenbu is suffering from drought. Your Majesty is leading a whole village of people to dig canals, preparing to dig them to the edge of the Bian River to divert water for irrigation."

"Tsk!"

Zhao Shu had a headache.

"He is a prince, why did he end up there? And he dug a ditch..."

This son's maverick behavior gave Zhao Shu a headache, so he became more acrimonious, "He is a prince, not an official, and not a farmer..."

As a prince, you need a global vision, rather than being limited to one person in one place.

Of course, as a prince, you need to put on a show, but you have to choose the right place and the right thing.

Do you think it's appropriate to help farmers dig canals at this time?

He smiled bitterly and said: "It took ten days and a half to dig those ditches. I don't know how many people would ridicule him if he gave up halfway. Young people are impulsive in doing things! But I think you have experienced it before... I was like this at that time, doing things. I am impulsive and will ignore any rough patches on the road... Being young... is so good!"

Han Qi said: "Yes, Your Majesty, when I was facing the exam, I felt that my whole body was tense and my mind was dazed. I kept thinking silently that I could win the exam, just like a lunatic."

Zeng Gongliang knew what this meant, so he pretended to sigh: "That year when the late emperor ascended the throne, my father ordered me to come to the capital to congratulate you. The late emperor was kind and made me an official. But at that time, I was so proud and high-spirited that I only felt that the world Nothing could stop me anymore, so I declined... Now that I think about it, I was really frivolous at the time!"

This Zeng Gongliang is so outrageous!

Han Qi glanced at Zeng Gongliang, alarm bells ringing in his heart.

By saying this, everyone is exposing their own shortcomings and making officials feel at ease. The prince is young and a little impulsive, but who among us has never been young? Who hasn’t been impulsive? So don't speak ill of the prince when you go out, and scold others when you see him.

This is why Zhao Shu and Han Qi said those words.

But Zeng Gongliang was different. This guy went to Beijing on his father's order to congratulate Zhao Zhen on his accession to the throne. Zhao Zhen liked to use his official position to hit people. He thought this young man was pleasing to his eyes, so he hit a Dali judge. But who would have thought that Zeng Gongliang was arrogant and looked down on Yin Meng's official position, so he declined to go home.

I want to take the imperial examination and become an official, so I don’t care about the official position you give me.

After waiting for another two years, Zeng Gongliang took part in the imperial examination and entered high school in one fell swoop. From then on, he embarked on the path of a winner in life.

But at this time and on this occasion, is it interesting for you, Zeng Gongliang, to show off this?

This look from Han Qi made Zeng Gongliang feel happy.

You won the exam at a young age, so you’re not bad at all!

The two prime ministers and assistants were having trouble, but Zhao Shu turned a blind eye.

"Your Majesty, Mangshan Academy has begun to gather."

"What?"

…

In the academy, Shen An stood in front of hundreds of teachers and students.

"Bianliang has suffered a drought. Countless farmers are facing cracked land and dry wheat. What should we do?"

The guard who came to ask for help stood at the edge a little confused.

Zhao Xu asked him to come here to ask for a plan, but after Shen An got the news, he had all classes in the academy suspended and everyone lined up.

Look at the hoe and shovel on the side. What is it for?

Shen An said in a deep voice: "Natural disasters are ruthless, but people are compassionate! Someone taught you to take the world as your own responsibility, but what is the world? Every plant, every tree, one person and one thing is the world. If the world is in trouble, what should I do?"

The students shouted in unison: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world!"

The guards listening beside him were so excited that they wished they could kill the enemy with their hoes.

"Yang Yan."

"Chief of the mountain."

Shen An ordered: "That's the field over there. It's easy to dig canals. If you want to do your job well, you must sharpen your tools first. Take people to the Izumo Temple and say it's me who said it, and let Shehui make a hoe." Shovel, use good steel..."

Yang Yan was startled and asked: "Chief, those steel materials were ordered by the Third Division..."

"When is it? Who cares about the Third Division? Let's do it!"

"yes."

"Set off!"

Shen An waved his hand and the students lined up.

Wang Yu led the team, while Shen An stayed behind. "These few hundred students are an army. When an army goes on an expedition, logistics is the most important. Someone organized supplies here, three meals a day, and medicinal materials to prevent heatstroke... I can think of everything. Get everything ready and have them sent outside the city. Just keep an eye on the students and don't let anything happen."

"good."

Wang Yu didn't say much, but as long as he agreed, there was nothing he couldn't do.

"The academy is out."

In the martial arts alley, hundreds of people walked quickly and neatly, and the surrounding people went out to watch out of curiosity.

"They are still carrying hoes and shovels! Where are they going?"

When passing by the gate of Taixue, the disciple was stunned and shouted: "Where are you going?"

No one answered him, and the professor leading the team shouted: "Hurry up."

If we don't mobilize, we will do it. Once we mobilize, we must show an unprecedented spirit and let the people of Bianliang see the confidence of Mangshan Academy.

This was Shen An's explanation, so the professors wished they could keep an eye on every student and cheer them up.

"Everyone, cheer up and hold your heads high."

One by one, the students walked past Taixue with their heads held high, and the disciples murmured: "Why be arrogant? We are Taixue!"

He quickly reported the news to Guo Qian.

"Going out with a hoe and shovel?"

Guo Qian felt a little weird, "That's all. Shen An does all kinds of weird things. Don't guess. The more you guess, the more headache you will get."

Yang Yan led a group of people to Izumo Temple and conveyed Shen An's instructions.

"Hoe and shovel? That's easy!"

These things are really too simple for today's Izumo-kan.

"all come."

She Hui summoned the Taoist priests, and then sparks flew and the sound of banging echoed over the Izumo Temple.

…

Zhao Hao thought all this was very novel, so he also got a hoe and dug the ditch.

There are tricks to using a hoe. People who don't know how to use it will only use brute force and will be exhausted soon.

"Brother..."

Zhao Hao couldn't dig anymore and felt pain in the palm of his hand.

Zhao Xu turned around, hammered his hoe and said, "Reach out your hand."

Zhao Hao opened his hand and found three blisters on his palm.

"No wonder it hurts so much."

Life in the county prince's palace was pretty good since he was a child. Later, after entering the palace, he was even better clothed and well-fed. Zhao Hao, who basically had not suffered much, was dumbfounded.

"What's this?"

"Blisters, that...someone, come and mess with his hair."

A guard came over and said respectfully: "It is best to use Duke Qi's own hair."

"Is there any other way to say this?"

"right."

Zhao Hao pulled out a piece of hair with a grimace, and the guard skillfully used the hair to pierce his blisters.

Wang Dong watched this scene from behind and said to the villagers around him: "Look, that is the prince, but for our Chenbu Village, he even got blisters. Go and ask people to get some food. Those nobles are hungry later." It’s delicious.”

The villagers looked desperate, "We don't have much food at home."

If this year's drought cannot be resolved, those stored grains will be life-saving grains... To use them now is to risk one's life.

Zhao Xu in front heard this and refused: "No need, I have prepared our own dry food."

The villagers felt relieved, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.net smiled and said, "You can get whatever you want."

Zhao Xu shook his head and ordered: "Go to the city to buy some dry food."

A guard mounted his horse and left.

Wang Dong said with shame: "My village is poor, but after all, it has a rough diet..."

This is not because he is stingy, but because he is really reluctant to let go!

The current natural disasters are destiny for farmers in the Song Dynasty. Every drought or flood will produce countless bankrupt victims.

In the past, these disaster victims would be organized into Xiangjun, but now this rule is gone. What can they do?

"Why are you back again?"

Some guards discovered that the guards who went to the city to get dry food were back again.

Zhao Xu frowned and said, "Go and have a look."

Before anyone could pass by, the guard shouted: "Your Majesty, people are coming, many people are coming."

Zhao Xu was holding a hoe, and the blisters on his palms were burning with pain, but he could only endure it.

You are the prince, the future prince. When you start digging canals, you have to start and finish. After a short time of work, you will say that your palms are blistered... the people will laugh at you and think that a noble like you should go back to the palace to enjoy the coolness.

So he endured it.

"so many people!"

Hundreds of students appeared neatly in front. Zhao Xu's eyes heated up and he asked, "Why are you here?"

Wang Yu came forward and said: "The chief of the mountain has an order, and everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. The so-called world, every plant, every tree, every person, everything is the world. When the world is in trouble, the Academy cannot stand by and watch, so we are here."

"The rise and fall, everyone is responsible……"

Everyone is pondering this sentence.

"It's work!"

The students from the academy joined in, and the progress suddenly accelerated.

Zhao Xu's eyes were a little hot. He lowered his head and said, "As long as people's hearts are like this, everything can be accomplished."

If we all work together, anything can be accomplished!

…

Good night!
