Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 905 Wang Shengren teaches you to lead troops

   For the gentlemen.

   There is no reason to say that the **** died.

  But no matter how good Ouyang Zhi is, he is still someone he can communicate with.

  Since Ouyang Zhi can't be eliminated for the time being, this person's background is too big, and his ordinary methods are not his opponent...Although this person is ruthless, but soon, someone found out the county's temper.

  He only acts according to the law.

  As long as you don’t violate his rules and pay the taxes that should be paid honestly, then he doesn’t care what you do. Even if you encounter trouble, he is willing to help you out.

  A group of gentry followed behind Ouyang Zhi, looking at the huge construction site in full swing, many people lamented in their hearts, this is all money, and most of them are their own money.

  The laborers worked hard to tamp the roadbed, and the concrete was manually mixed. Each of the large boilers was lit with a fire underneath, boiling the asphalt.

  Ouyang Zhi watched from a distance, and in the distance, Chang Wei walked quickly and saluted Ouyang Zhi: "I have seen the uncle."

  Ouyang Zhi put his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "How?"

Chang Wei said: "There are enough people and the skills are ready-made, so the progress of this project is very smooth." He was beaming, Dingxing County has plenty of labor, and with so many manpower, it will be done much faster: "In the past, There are still some who are not very skilled, but now, half a month has passed, whether it is quarrying, transportation, mixing or masonry, they are all proficient now. They can repair more than 200 meters a day. Fortunately, this road is The ready-made ones just need to be widened on the original road. These lands are originally owned by the government, so there is no problem. It doesn’t take much effort. Now they are going at both ends... Please rest assured, uncle, as long as there is enough money and manpower, Students must do their best."

It’s such a pleasure, if you want someone, you want money, you have money, and the craftsmen brought by Chang Weihe all have rich construction experience. After all, this is not the highway of later generations, but the land is compacted, gravel is paved, and concrete is filled. , Just put asphalt on it, there is no need to build mountains and bridges.

  In the north, there are large plains. Even if there are mountains, we try our best to go around them, so the progress is very smooth.

Ouyang Zhi nodded with a smile: "Your Uncle Wang is here to study, and the craftsmen have enough food. Not only that, the craftsmen and laborers of each team can choose some strong ones, let them have some entertainment, how about cuju Let’s come to Cuju, I’m in charge, the county government will take out three hundred taels of silver, and each engineering team will send out some people to form a Cuju team, practice it, and let everyone take a break every ten days to see The Cuju team will win the decisive battle, the winner will be rewarded with one hundred and fifty taels of silver, the second one will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and the last one will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver..."

  Chang Wei looked astonished, and the gentry behind him clutched his heart, beat his chest and fell down again, wanting to die.

   "Master...this..."

  Ouyang Zhi said with a smile: "Since your uncle Wang is serious about compiling books, he has his own reasons, so just do what he says."

"yes."

  This is weird...

  Chang Wei was at a loss. At this time, he actually came to Cuju...

   Isn’t it because I’m full to hold on.

   Too much money?

  But the uncle has a life, how dare he say anything, he hurriedly said: "Student understands."

  The gentry behind them all looked at each other, not knowing why.

   It's hard to pass the day.

  To be honest, it is no longer a matter of money.

  Since that damned Liu Jin came, he came to the door all the time, came whenever he saw the sky, and never missed a meal. If you don’t treat him well, he will not be happy.

  Here, how much profit has been lost.

  But you are going to sue him. After careful calculation, he didn't do anything outrageous. What can you sue him? He is a person close to the prince, so even if he sues, he may offend him, and he will miss him at that time, who knows what will happen in the end.

As for Ouyang Zhi, all he wants is your taxes, and your hidden households and hidden fields, not to mention the damage to his interests, and he is also disgusted by him all day long. Today he wants to build roads, and tomorrow he will have to take out If you come to Yinzi, what kind of Cuju will you play?

  Is this... a human thing?

  Ouyang Zhi has no expression on his face... He has already stepped on the mud and walked to the construction site with his hands behind his back.

  But the gentry did not follow, because...their shoes are new, and they are stepping on the mud, where is the elegance? People who don't know, still think of themselves as mud legs?

  They watched Ouyang Zhi walk away... He was really worried and angry, so he whispered: "This is his own money, not money, people's fat and people's anointing, he used it to squander like this."

   "Woo...Shut up!"

  …

Emperor Hongzhi was in a good mood, and he asked the empress dowager how he was. He ordered someone to write down the words of the emperor's grandson... At this time, he picked up the written words, chewed them repeatedly, looked at them, and couldn't help being happy. up.

  With such a grandson, what more can I ask for?

   In this life, I am content.

  But at this time, Xiao Jing walked quickly: "Your Majesty..."

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "What's the matter?"

  Xiao Jingdao: "Liu Jian, please see me."

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Call me."

   Liu Jian entered the palace, appearing to be in a hurry: "Your Majesty, the Huaihe River...is flooded."

  Emperor Hongzhi immediately understood what he heard: "This is about to pass the winter, why is it flooding?"

   "This..." Liu Jian sighed for a long time: "In recent years, the celestial phenomena have been very different, and there have been many disasters. It is really impossible to prevent."

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Since this is the case, it is advisable to order someone to build the river embankment immediately. Your family will see, who should be sent?"

  Liu Jiandao: "For the sake of once and for all, the old minister thinks that this flood control must not be ignored, but the minister of the Ministry of Industry is not in good health... Your minister..."

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly said: "Wentao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, also worked in the Ministry of Industry in the past. He has rich experience in water control. Over the years, the Huaihe River has been flooded frequently. If I want to do it once and for all, I must launch a huge project. If the matter is closely related to the surname, if it is an ordinary person, I am not at ease, so why not order him to go there, how about it?"

  Liu Jian thought for a while: "The old minister has no opinion, but, for such a huge project, the money and food from the Ministry of Household..."

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled wryly: "Allow some from the internal funds."

  Liu Jian seemed to have taken a reassurance: "If internal funds are allocated, the old minister thinks that if the river is to be harnessed, it must benefit future generations, regardless of all costs..."

  Emperor Hongzhi was confused.

  I paid for it, so I can do whatever it takes...

   But Liu Jian was anxious.

  The flood of the Huaihe River has not been cured for a long time. In the past, the governance was all small-scale troubles. Thousands of people were mobilized to build a broken embankment. It is rare that His Majesty is so forthright today.

  Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Come on the regulations."

   Shaking his head.

   seemed a little helpless.

  …

  Fang Jifan received a letter, and when he read the letter, he became a little anxious.

  Son of a bitch, don't you want money?

  He held the letter and found it in the study. In the study, Wang Shouren and Zhu Zaimo, who had been caught empty in the school, sat opposite each other.

  As soon as Fang Jifan came in, both Wang Shouren and Zhu Zaimo got up: "I have seen my mentor."

  Fang Jifan smiled, nodded calmly, and glanced at Zhu Zaimo: "You hit Xu Pengju again?"

  Zhu Zaimo said calmly: "If you go back to your mentor, he asked me to hit him, but he himself said, hit me if you have the ability."

   "..."

  Fang Jifan was speechless.

  This request is indeed a bit excessive.

  Fang Jifan said conveniently: "You go out first, I have something to say with your Senior Brother Wang."

  Zhu Zaimo obediently said, and bowed: "Student resigns."

  Fang Jifan took his seat. Immediately, he looked at Wang Shouren, threw the letter on the copybook, and wanted to scold his mother, but looking at Wang Shouren with a calm face, he finally held back and smiled: "Bo An, how are you doing these days?"

   "Teacher." Wang Shouren said, "Everything is fine."

  Fang Jifan said: "Do you like to play Cuju?"

  Wang Shouren shook his head: "I don't like it."

Fang Jifan couldn't help but vomit, after all he is an upright person: "But why the **** did you edit the book for your elder brother, but he selected Cuju players among the craftsmen and labor, and let them do it? For training, there will be a decisive victory at regular intervals. Does this not require money? Even if it does not require money, you are not afraid of delaying the construction period? The construction period will be delayed by one day, so many personnel, so many horses and materials, but it is all money. "

  Wang Shouren looked up at Fang Jifan, and thought for a while: "Has your mentor ever led soldiers?"

   "..."

  Fang Jifan felt... Wang Shouren was against the heavens, he dared to humiliate his teacher, well, he had never led soldiers before, what's wrong, did he eat your rice?

  Wang Shouren said calmly: "Master, do you know why the Mongols lost the world?"

   "..."

"Because of river governance." Wang Shouren said decisively: "So many people suddenly gathered together. It stands to reason that river governance is good governance, and it is also a rare good deed by the monarchs and ministers of the Yuan Dynasty. But in the end... countless labors , After arriving at the Yellow River, it was reversed, so the world heard the wind and moved, and the flames of war broke out everywhere. In the end, my great ancestor, Emperor Gao, stood out, annexed all the powers, and drove out the Tartars, so the world is today!"

  Fang Jifan couldn't help but said: "But what does this have to do with leading soldiers, and what does it have to do with Cuju?"

  Wang Shouren smiled: "The relationship here is too great. The common people were recruited to build the embankment together. Logically speaking, what they did was for the benefit of the world, but why would they turn against it?"

   "Because the world has been suffering for a long time."

Wang Shouren shook his head: "Of course this is the reason, but there is another huge reason, that is, hundreds of thousands of people gathered together, and the officials of the Yuan Dynasty did not manage them well. I must have this feeling, that is, countless young and strong people gather, but as the coach, if you want to order them, if you want to command them, you must let countless officials or military officers communicate and manage them..."
