[Comprehensive martial arts] The Central Plains is too scary

Following the imperial decree is Ruthless with a dusty face.

This time Mr. Ruthless is no longer as noble and flawless as he was in the capital. There is a thin layer of gray floating on the black cloak, and the bun is quite messy, with two strands hanging down in front of his eyes.

The white horse was bumpy all the way, and after struggling to climb up to the place where Gu Xichao and Lu Tage lived temporarily, he couldn't help panting. After Lu Tage stepped forward to help Wuqing put down the wheelchair, the young man got off the horse, sat on the wheelchair and patted the horse's neck pitifully.

"Master Ruthless" Gu Xichao saluted with fists in his hands, with a forced smile on his face, he said, "Thank you for the help of Shenhou Mansion regarding the matter of Qingzhou."

Shaking his head ruthlessly, he said gently, "Since it is a matter of the world, we should do our best. I am here today to help the flood."

After hearing this, Gu Xichao pondered for a while, and asked tentatively, "... His Majesty's will?"

The black-robed young man narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded.

That day, when talking about the flood in Qingzhou, Yang Yu first stood up and proposed to use work as relief.This work-for-work relief is different from the previous large amount of money and grain without measurement. Instead, it is necessary to adjust the grain and distribute the silver based on the number of people in various places and the needs of disaster relief and reconstruction. After the flood is over and the reconstruction is completed, the officials will calculate the amount of work. Report the records and compare them with the records kept by the imperial court.

If the records do not match, the food, grass and money can be returned. If there is no refund or less, the officials along the way should be replaced.

This was a good strategy in the first place, the record that Gu Xichao handed over will definitely not be mixed with water, if anyone dares to make money from it, they must be prepared for it to fall to the ground.

But Cai Jing then stood up and raised the flower and stone outline again. After the lecture, the rain washed away the floating soil. This Qingzhou is originally adjacent to Yishan and Yumenshan. After the flood, there must be strange stones everywhere.The spring rain is over, and there will probably be no more floods this year. It is better to let them dig strange rocks instead of work, and loosen the soil by the way, which is good for planting.

After Cai Jing finished speaking, Yang Yu was stunned by this logic and stayed where he was, listening to the emperor's deeply reasonable decree with a blank expression.

"Later, Master Yang said a lot more, and he still took some money for building houses and repairing embankments, but the wages for digging stones are higher." Wuqing said as he entered the house in a wheelchair, "So I am afraid that even light and strong laborers will dig stone."

Lu Tage consciously carried out the river and waterway map he had drawn, spread it out on the table.

The drawing of the picture is a bit rough, and the labeling is in Persian, but fortunately, it is easy to understand, and the young man can understand most of it even with a simple guess.

"I just don't understand." Gu Xichao came in from the outside, frowned and said, "What good does Cai Jing do for him?"

"There are two advantages." Ruthlessly turned his eyes away from the waterway map, picked up the distribution map of counties and counties under the state capital that Gu Xichao piled up next to him, and said, "One is that Cai Jing has classified you as Master Yang's faction. We still need to repair the fields and plant seeds, and the fortifications of the river embankment will be abandoned. When it rains again next year, there will be another catastrophe in Qingzhou, but you have taken the money from the imperial court and have not been able to manage it well. Don’t talk about public grievances, Cai Fu’s party will be in your Majesty’s hands It was said in front of you that you used your work for relief on the surface, but in reality you filled your own pockets."

Just as he was talking, he picked up the pen ruthlessly, drew a few lines on the picture, and then raised his head and said, "As for the second point, do you know the date of birth?"

Gu Xichao and Wuqing looked at each other for a moment, and said, "I heard something."

"Cai Jing, in the name of Hua Shigang, is actually trying to get the imperial soldiers to escort his birthday plan," said ruthlessly, "Qingzhou is full of water, and the waterways are smooth, and the delivery speed of officials' birthday plans from nearby places can be more than doubled. He is not afraid of bandits in the rivers and lakes, he naturally does not want you to heal the water so quickly."

"And I came here this time, entrusted by Master Yang to grasp the handle of the birthday plan." Handing the water route map to Gu Xichao, the young man pointed to the mark he made, "There are three waterways for boats, you control the water." Let’s focus on one of them for now, and the remaining two can be handed over to Mr. Lu and me. Although ruthlessness is bad for practice, lightness kung fu can still protect yourself.”

Lu Tage, who had been drinking the small fish soup and listening quietly, drank the clear soup with little fish flavor in one gulp, and asked, "Seng Layer Gang and Hua Shi Gang, how can you tell them apart?"

Ruthlessly and quietly glanced at the Humanity of the Western Regions who felt that the Central Plains dialect had passed the test, "There are more stones in Huashigang, gold, silver and jewelry are secondary. If there is no strange stone on a ship but it is heavy, there is probably a problem."

"Mr. Lu just needs to look at the draft of the boat. I have already gone to find Qi Shaoshang and Qi Dangjia. If Qi Dangjia also comes by water, he will tie a red silk on the boat to avoid accidental injury." Gu Xichao took a look to confirm Gu Xi. Chao had no objection to his act of presumptuousness, so he continued to order ruthlessly, "Other ships, if you find anything unusual, please ask Mr. Lu to intercept them, try not to kill people, and deal with them later."

Lu Tage had no objection, looked at the waterway map, crossed his hands and raised his fingers, stretched his waist comfortably, and moved his shoulder blades and neck.

During this period of running around, his knife hadn't drank blood for a long time, and it was almost blunt.

The man from the Western Regions raised his head, the sky was already clear, and the bright sunlight made his blue eyes more translucent.The young man's light-colored thin lips curled up at the corners of his lips. It was obviously a plain smile, but there was a bit of sharpness at the end of his eyes.

"As ordered."

"I'm now ordering people to put up a notice of relief with work, and after waiting for more people, I will go to repair the water and repair the embankment." Gu Xichao didn't have any objection to the ruthless arrangement, and turned to go out. Halfway through, he seemed to remember something, and turned back and said, "Yang How is your lord doing recently?"

Ruthlessly put down the water route map, pondered for a moment, and said carefully, "For the time being, I can't quite guess what Master Yang is thinking, but since it is Master Yang, there must be some deep meaning in everything he does."

Gu Xichao thanked him, but sighed softly in his heart.

What he wants to ask is whether Yang Yu has lost some weight due to the recent rush, and whether the slender wrist wrapped under the wide fox fur has lost weight again.Every step in the temple must be cautious, and the safety of the young man who is openly opposed to His Majesty's favorite minister Cai Fu can be guaranteed.

But I always feel that something is wrong, and I can't speak for some reason.

The master helped write the notice and ordered it to be posted up. The people in green shirts waited for a long time, only waiting for six or seven young men and a group of women and children.

Everyone knew that repairing embankments was a big deal, but it was nothing more than the lure of huge sums of money to dig rocks. Only those women and children who couldn't do the hard work of digging rocks would come, apologizing on their lips, but calm in their eyes.

Women and children are just women and children, Gu Xichao didn't say much, and led a group of old and weak to the place drawn on the blueprint.

It can be done, he thought.

Yang Yu has spent so many years gnawing at Cai Fu's second party, why can't he spend a whole year draining silt and clearing water and repairing a dike?

Lu Tage sat alone on a tree, with a wet little black cat that had just been fished out of the water resting on his shoulder, and was meowing tremblingly.

The man from the Western Regions looked at Gu Xichao's direction from a distance, supported the cat with one hand to prevent it from running around and falling, and faced the sparkling water of the river, he also let out a ghostly cry.

"Meow."
