The motorcade slowly stopped, lined up, and stretched out for half a mile.
Ru Yu walked out of the carriage and was faced with the biting cold wind, howling and blowing the remaining snow. Yang Pu took a heavy cloak and put it on Ru Ru.
Hu Xi suddenly shouted: "Look."
Ding Jingfu, Li Bin and other Shanxi officials got off the carriage one after another and were shocked to see the scene in front of them.
In front of us is the broad Yellow River, which is at least two hundred steps wider. White mist rises above the water of the Yellow River, and under the white mist is crystal clear ice. The Yellow River is not completely frozen, but the closer it is to the dam, the denser and thicker the ice.
When the sun shines and you look far away, the ice is like a white ribbon, tied to the vast land. The river flows very slowly, and the sound of ice hitting each other can be heard from time to time.
In the distance, under the south bank, is Kaifeng City.
It was the first time for some officials to see such a scene of the Yellow River. The majestic river, the vast and lonely world, the ancient city in the distance, and the motorcade nearby all created a beautiful picture.
Of course, only a few elegant officials feel beautiful, such as Yang Pu, Hu Hui, and the pretentious Ding Jingfu...
After most of the officials looked at it, they said hello with smiles on their faces. They were already greeting Ru Yu in their hearts. Why are you coming out in such a cold weather? Why don't you just stay in the carriage to keep warm?
You are romantic, but we are still crying...
Ru Yu didn't care what these people thought and walked along the embankment.
"That is……"
Yang Pu looked at the embankment not far away, which should be without any buildings, but there was a pavilion in the distance.
"Loyalty Relief Pavilion."
Ru Yu led people over, looked at the statue and inscription of Zhang Xianzong in the pavilion, and sighed: "Sacrifice yourself with your life and serve the people with your life. This is what an official should be like. Zhang Zhongzong can be remembered by the people of Henan and even the world." , why can't we? Decades of knowledge, in exchange for official uniforms and official seals, are not for us to be arrogant, but for the benefit of the people."
The accompanying officials repeatedly praised Zhang Xianzong after hearing this.
Ru Yu didn't expect her words to change these old foxes and old fritters. These words were mainly meant for young officials, especially Yang Pu and Hu Hui.
After paying tribute, Yang Pu asked if he could find a way to cross the Yellow River to Kaifeng City. Ru Rui shook his head. At the moment, he didn’t know whether the Henan Chief Envoy, Kaifeng Magistrate, etc. had left Kaifeng City. Even if they had not left, Ru Rui did not intend to go with him. They went to the capital together because the roads were different.
The road is really different. Rujun left Shanxi more than 20 days in advance this time. It was not that she wanted to go back to the capital as soon as possible. Instead, she planned to pass through Henan and Beizhili, then to Shandong, and then go south from Shandong before heading to the capital. .
Shanxi immigrants were supported by Ru Ru, who spent countless efforts and personally sent away hundreds of thousands of people. Ru Ru was worried and wanted to see with her own eyes whether these people had been settled and had food to eat. In the evening Will it be cold when I sleep? I want to see if the promises made by the court are fulfilled.
If someone bullied the people of Shanxi, Ru Yu would not mind being a martial artist during the Hajj. With the merits of the large immigration, he would cripple a few unscrupulous officials, and the emperor would not care about him.
As early as the beginning of the immigration, Rujun wrote letters to the magistrates, magistrates, and chief envoys in various places who received the immigrants, making it clear that if one of the immigrants in Shanxi had something wrong and died of hunger or freezing, even if Even if they are dying of illness, they still want them to look good.
I am afraid that only Ru Yu can have the courage to threaten one Beijing and two provinces.
After walking through Henan, Ru Jun was very satisfied. It has to be said that Qitai, Jingqing and the Chief Envoy of Henan all attached great importance to the immigration and worked hard personally to arrange it properly. Even the people who immigrated also praised him. The only thing The problem is that there are no cattle yet.
This is a difficult problem to solve. Although the Ming Dynasty has been recuperating for more than thirty years, the number of cattle is still scarce. Many people do not have cattle for farming. There are no plowing cattle in the old fields, so it can still be cultivated with a lot of effort, but it is a bit difficult to open up wasteland.
Rujun had no way to solve this problem, so she had to keep it in mind and move on.
Not far from Kaifeng to the north, you can reach Dongming and Jun counties in Beizhili and Damingfu. To the east are Caozhou, Juye and Jiaxiang in Shandong. Time no longer allowed Ru Ru to go to Damingfu city, so she had to choose Dongmingfu. -Look at the resettlement situation in Shanxi in Ming, Juye and other places.
Shandong, west of Jining, Yanzhou Prefecture.
Wang Caotou hid his hands in his sleeves, sitting by the lake and watching the children playing by the lake. Some of the brave ones even dared to stand by the lake and play on the ice. Listening to the sound of the ice layer, Wang Cao The head was a little scared, and he didn't dare to get close to him at all.
Wang Caogen walked over, took out a steaming steamed bun from his shabby arms, and grinned, "Eat it quickly, so as not to be seen by Butcher Wang."
After Wang Caotou took it, he stuffed it into his mouth. He ate too quickly and choked a little. He finally swallowed it and started to hiccup again.
"Brother, do you think those officers are here to arrest us?"
Wang Caogen is a little afraid of the days without food.
Wang Caotou looked at the house not far away. There were many official officials there, and they were probably not easy to mess with. It was better not to sleep on that haystack for the past two days. It would be safer to sleep in another haystack.
Song Li came over with Lin Fang, Bai Ying and others. Bai Ying contributed greatly to Huitonghe and was promoted from a commoner to a sixth-grade head of the Ministry of Industry.
Bai Ying stood on a high place, pointed in the direction of Mata Lake and Shushan Lake, and said to Song Li: "Mata Lake is deep and large and can accommodate a lot of water sources. But Shushan Lake is not only shallow, but also has a limited range. The Xiaofen River water It cannot hold too much if it is injected into it, and it will be difficult to regulate the water flow during the dry season, which may hinder the canal's ability to connect the north and south."
Song Li looked forward and scolded a few skating children on the way. Shushan Lake itself has flaws, and this flaw cannot be solved by building a water tank. It is impossible to dig Shushan Lake deeper at the moment. The east side is rocky and widening is unlikely.
"Lin Fang, what do you think?"
Song Li was thinking about countermeasures.
Lin Fang looked worried. She originally thought that building a water tank at Ma Ta Lake would be able to regulate the flow of the river. However, judging from the rainfall and water flow conditions in winter, this conclusion may not be tenable.
In other words, the Mati Lake water tank can only bear 70% of the adjustment, and the remaining 30% needs to be borne by Shushan Lake. However, Shushan Lake can only bear less than 20% of the function at the moment. If the water level of the river is to be restored in winter, If it is not too low, this problem must be solved.
"It is impossible to deepen or widen Shushan Lake. The only feasible way at the moment is to build another lake."
Lin Fang said softly.
Song Li turned around and looked at the vast plains. According to the original plan, a river channel needed to be dug here. If a lake was dug here, the amount of work would be quite large.
After pondering again and again, Song Li pointed to the distance and said, "I remember there is a depression about ten miles south, which may be useful."
"There is a place, but immigrants are resettled there..."
Bai Ying felt a little worried.
Song Li sighed and said, "Let's go take a look first."
A group of people were riding horses. As soon as they arrived outside the village, they heard a sound of wailing. Looking along, they saw a dozen guards standing on the road in the distance. A young man in rich clothes was punching and kicking, and he fell down. The man on the ground was curled up, and there were women and children crying nearby. Many people stood outside and did not dare to come forward.
"stop!"
When Song Li saw this, he shouted loudly.
After urging their horses to arrive, the two guards drew their swords and stopped Song Li and others: "The prince is teaching the unruly people, who dares to step forward?"
"Prince?"
Song Li was surprised at first, and then became confused.
There are only two vassal kings in Shandong. One is Lu Wang Zhu Tan. He has died and has only one son. That is Zhu Zhaohui. This is the second generation of Lu Wang, not a county king.
As for Zhu Zhu of Qingzhou, although he had several sons, I heard that his sons were all sent to the capital. Although Zhu Yunwen did not kill them, he demoted them to common people. Now he probably doesn't know where they are collecting firewood.
Apart from these two families, are there any other princes in Shandong?
"Which county king? This is the border of Shandong, and this is a land of immigrants. How can we be so presumptuous!"
Song Li shouted loudly.
"What a great official authority, Minister Song!"
A dismissive voice came over.
Song Li looked around and saw a handsome young man walking over, with a broad forehead, thick eyebrows like swords, cold eyes, a slight beard on his face, and a white handkerchief in his hand.
Seeing this person's appearance clearly, Song Li quickly dismounted his horse and saluted, "I have met the Prince of Gaoyang County."
Lin Fang, Bai Ying and others heard this and quickly saluted.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Song Li and sneered: "Why, I taught the unruly people a lesson, do you want to take care of them too?"
Song Li glanced at the old farmer on the ground who was beaten with a bruised nose and face, as well as a group of ordinary people who were filled with indignation but did not dare to come forward, and said: "The Prince of Gaoyang County is a relative of the emperor and a brother of the feudal prince. Why should he be the same as the common people?"
"I only have general knowledge, how about it?" Zhu Gaoxu picked up the horse whip, pointed at Song Li, and said: "You can see clearly, and you can also hear clearly. According to the "Ancestor Instructions of the Emperor Ming", ordinary people dare to criticize the king. Those who are stubborn and traitorous will be killed. This person dares to say that the king bullies the people and dominates the market, and also arranges secret affairs for the king. I will kill him according to Taizu's will. Do you dare to stop me? "
Song Li was sweating a little on his forehead. Looking at Zhu Gaoxu who was about to whip someone with a whip, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Prince, stop me. I don't dare to lower my rank. But this man is a commoner who immigrated from Shanxi. He has already made The register will be submitted to the Ministry of Household Affairs. If something goes wrong, the Ministry of Household Affairs will be held accountable, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain."
Once a person registers as a household registration, the Ministry of Household Affairs has a foundation. If the person dies, the household registration will also be canceled. Otherwise, how will the tax be calculated once the tax exemption expires for several years? Song Li was warning Zhu Gaoxu not to make a big deal out of trouble, so as not to cause trouble at the top.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't care about this, he raised his whip and whipped it down.
Full of fire, full of anger.
Originally, I was staying in the capital, eating, drinking, having fun, and being happy. But who knew that when his father Zhu Di found him, he would beat him up all over his face. If the princess hadn't knelt down to plead for mercy, he would have been beaten to death.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't know why he was beaten. When he saw Li Zengzhi and Jin Zhong appearing in Prince Yan's mansion, he finally knew that the matter was exposed.
Originally, Zhu Di wanted to send Zhu Gaoxu to the palace and hand him over to Zhu Yunwen, but Princess Xu Yihua firmly disagreed. Here Zhu Di was writing a confession, and over there Xu Yihua had arranged for Zhu Gaoxu to be sent out of the capital.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't know what happened next. He ran all the way to Fengyang, where he was chased by the guards of Prince Yan's Mansion.
The guard took out Zhu Di's letter. Zhu Gaoxu was frightened when he saw it. At least Zhu Di gave him a choice:
Rush back to the capital and go to the Security Bureau to arrest the law;
Go to Peking and earn back the money you earned from selling the land privately. If you can't earn it back, break your legs and crawl back to Nanjing to apologize.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't dare to go to the security bureau. Li Zengzhi went there. If Li Fangying hadn't exchanged the head of the Buddha's mother, he would have stayed there for who knows how long. If he had gone in, his father Zhu Di would definitely not have replaced him.
In desperation, Zhu Gaoxu decided to return to Peiping. He was angry all the way and had nowhere to vent. He unexpectedly met a unruly man outside Jining City who dared to talk about the vassal king. If he didn't beat him out, would he still be Zhu Gaoxu?
What's more, this time I acted completely in accordance with the "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions". Who can say that I am wrong?
