Dad, this seems to be the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 299 Civil chaos
"Brother Li, you can follow me to the construction site tomorrow to have a look. The canal on the Luoyang side is currently being repaired very quickly. As long as this section is completed, it will be easy to go all the way to Chang'an. I don't think it will take long. It can go directly to Chang'an. At that time, I will ask the imperial court to connect the canal water system with the Wuding River. At that time, the goods from all over the Song Dynasty can be transported directly to the city of Yinzhou along the water, and then you will monopolize them to the rest of the party. Come to think of it, maybe after your son grows up, the Yinzhou Department will become the strongest department in the party. "

"So, then I will lend you a good word."

Of course, if it really got to that point, Yinzhou Dangxiang would become a vassal of the Song Dynasty.

The two chatted about his son Li Jiqian again, and Sun Yue naturally had no reason to object, and they discussed the situation in the Northwest together, and when the matter was finished, it was already dusk, looking at the time, it was almost time to start It's a party.

Li Guangyan was about to pack up and go to eat, but Sun Yue grabbed him and said with a smile: "Don't worry, brother Li, we're done talking about business, but I still have a personal matter, a ruthless request, I want to Please help."

"Private business?"

Li Guangyan immediately reacted and said: "Brothers like you and me, if you say whether to help or not, that's too foreign."

"I don't know, are there any beautiful female relatives in Brother Li's mission?"

"They are all relatives, Mr. Sun Xiaoxiang, what is the meaning of this?"

"It's embarrassing to say it, but it's... like this."

"Here... but there is a widowed sister-in-law who lives with me now. Although she is over thirty years old, her appearance is somewhat romantic. If someone else mentions this, it is absolutely forbidden, but if it is Brother Sun... whatever, It's up to you."

"So, thank you, Brother Li."

…………

However, the envoys from the Northwest were invited by Sun Chunming the next day to see the repairs of the canal after a day's rest in Luoyang. Because the Luoyang Canal is related to water transport to the west, it is naturally related to trade, so it is not too abrupt. Naturally, Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Guangmei would not object, so they all went up the river embankment together, including their uncle Du Shenzhao.

Before going up the embankment, Sun Chunming and Sun Yue made a secret look in the eyes, expressing that everything was in order.

Under the levee, tens of thousands of river workers are working diligently. Everything seems to be in order. A large pit with a length of more than [-] meters and a depth of more than ten meters has been dug. Zhao Dezhao, as the most noble The author also personally picked a basket of soil and made a little show.

But suddenly a river worker rushed out, shouting in his mouth: "I beg Master Qingtian to make decisions for the little ones."

Zhao Dezhao was naturally taken aback, and hurriedly retreated behind the guard, ordered someone to stop him and wanted to ask what was going on, but he saw that the river workers on the entire river seemed to have received some signal, suddenly swarming, Wu Yang Wu Yang rushed up with tools in his hand, his face turned pale with fright.

Sun Yue also stepped out suddenly, and shouted: "Protect Your Highness, protect the envoy, and be careful of assassins."

Then he drew out the sword with a swish, and with just one swing, hundreds of elite soldiers surrounded them with a bang, but Tian Qinzuo had already led troops to kill them from under the embankment at some point, and drew his bow and saber out of its sheath. Staring at his big eyes like copper bells, he loudly shouted: "Those who move recklessly will be killed without mercy!"

Not to mention, although Tian Qinzuo was a bit of a dick when getting along with each other on weekdays, but when he touched the knife at this time, he was really majestic, and he quickly stabilized the situation. Looking at the envoys from the northwest, almost all of them The complexion is as usual, among them the smart ones have already seen that this is a game, even Zhao Guangmei is quite leisurely to criticize Tian Qinzuo's performance with Sun Yue, only Zhao Dezhao is livid and flustered, obviously has lost his position.

After all, this is just a child who grew up in the deep palace, and this is the first time he has gone out of Beijing for business, unlike Sun Yue, who are used to seeing heads rolling on the battlefield, and they are already a little scared at this time.

"What... what's wrong with this? What should I do!"

Seeing that Tian Qinzuo had brought the situation under control, Sun Yue waved his hand with a smile, signaling the guards to disperse, and then walked forward confidently, facing the first man who had been pinned down firmly on the ground. A troublemaker said, "Let him go, get up and answer."

"Captain?"

"It's okay, I thought I was wronged and had nowhere to say it, and suddenly saw His Highness coming in person, so I couldn't wait to lose my manners, and I will definitely not hurt me, so let it go."

The two guards let go and retreated after hearing this, but they stared at the man tightly, holding the handle of the knife tightly, and if there was even the slightest mistake, they would hack him to death with lightning speed.

"Master Qingtian, Mingjian, the villain is a member of the Wang family village four hundred miles away from Luoyang City. He has been a dutiful mountain people for generations. If he hadn't been oppressed by the superior and forced into helplessness, how dare he offend the nobleman."

"Oh? Shangguan oppressed? I don't know what wronged you, you just tell me, and I and the great majesty will come down to make decisions for you."

"My lord, we all came out to work after receiving the envoy's money. It was agreed that each of us would be given [-] Wen per day, but this work has been done for three or four months. At the beginning, we could still get two hundred Wen." Three hundred, but now, even ten papers are not issued."

"Oh? You mean that human-skinned animal dares to embezzle your wages?"

The man heard the words and said angrily: "It's not just about wages. When recruiting workers before, it was agreed to take care of the food, so all the villagers didn't bring rations when they came. At first, they could still eat rice, but later they could only eat porridge. For a few months, a catty of porridge was mixed with half a catty of sand. Today, it is like mixing rice into the sand. My lord, the work in the river is so tiring. If you can’t eat enough, you must Kill people!"

"Oh? There is such a thing? Come, come and get their lunch."

After a while, a soldier brought a ladle of 'porridge', and after a little flipping, it turned out to be a good bowl of water porridge, which I guess would not be enough for the cat to eat.

Sun Yue took a sip with a serious face, swallowed it with difficulty, then passed it to Zhao Dezhao, "Your Highness, come and taste it."

Seeing that Zhao Dezhao's whole face was black and red, he forced a smile after a long time and said, "This...the porridge has more sand and wheat husks than rice. How can people eat it? How dare the grain officer send such porridge to He Gong , really deserves death.”

"Your Highness, if it is said that such a big handwriting was done by a grain official or a petty official, would you believe it?"

Zhao Dezhao turned around suddenly, no matter how stupid he was, he realized that this was clearly a trick set up by the Sun family and his son.

"Then if you say it's not a food officer, who else can it be?"

But the man kneeling on the ground suddenly yelled miserably: "The villain knows, the villain knows, Your Highness, the one who is greedy for ink, is also Du Shenzhao, the uncle of the country."

"Bold! Uncle Guo can be slandered by a pariah like you?"

But seeing tens of thousands of river workers violently raged with his words, yelling and almost rushing forward, shouting in unison: "It's him, it's him, Your Highness, are you trying to play favoritism?"

"Master Qingtian, you have to decide for us."

"That fat man in the back is Du Shenzhao, everyone, come on, beat him to death, kill him."

Zhao Dezhao's face turned pale, he was scared back a few steps, and stared down at Tian Qinzuo fiercely, but saw that the river workers who had been suppressed in a short while were getting more chaotic and courageous, and they were about to charge with weapons. up.

In desperation, Zhao Dezhao had no choice but to grit his teeth and shout to Sun Yue: "Sun Yue, that's enough, what on earth are you going to do!"
