Chapter 60 Life is hard to violate

At the end of July of the second year of Taiping, Emperor Fengyi unified the land of Fengchuan and ended the nearly nine-month campaign.

With the arrival of Wang Zirui, the Empress Fengyi did not immediately return to Guidu, but stayed in the former Fengliang for several months. He only ordered the army to leave the camp and return to the capital, but he stayed in this place called 'Chuan' with a few cronies.

The reason for the matter begins with the end of the war a month ago. On that day, Emperor Fengyi led the army to return to the capital. When marching to Jiandi, a peasant woman suddenly stopped in front of the army and shouted for injustice.

Qingyi asked the peasant woman to speak, and when he saw the peasant woman who shouted injustice, he listened to her.

Her name is Ruan Tianhe. She is a 'from the book' of Jane's land. From the title of the book is called by the former local clerk of Fengliang, according to her. This year's simple harvest is really bad, and there is a war, and the only grain has been handed over. Now that the war has stopped, it is simple that a grain can no longer be handed over! However, when the new emperor ascended the throne, according to the annual rules, he had to pay grain money to the officials of the new court. In this way, not to mention that you can't hand over the food, even if you want to hand it over, I'm afraid you will be a 'vegetable'!

(Yu Shi: "The vegetable", as the name implies, is a person who treats as a vegetable. There is indeed a saying of "a rookie" in the history of the Celestial Empire. There are records of openly buying and selling vegetables from the Ming Dynasty. The poem also said: - "Cai Ren Ai" · Qu Dajun and his wife starved to death every year, not as good as a concubine to the Cai Ren market. If you get three thousand yuan, you can go for one li.)

Qingyi was unhappy when he heard it, saying that he was going to Jiandi to see the situation in person. Although the accompanying generals did not want to, the whole army stayed in place for two days. Qingyi and several generals rode to Zhijiandi, and then they really saw an incredible scene.

In the desolate land, occasionally a few weeds have withered, and there is no waterway to water... The ground is a little cracked.

"Why is this so? Look at the situation, you have been abandoned farming for at least two years. Qingyi was a little angry. Looking at these loess, won't these simple peasant women feel heartache? Peasant women make a living by the earth and rely on heaven, but...

"The emperor doesn't know that I am in the lower reaches of the branch of the Hoangchuan River. In the past two years, He Bo inhuangchuan has been angry, and our downstream land has no harvest! If it hadn't been for the big guys taking care of each other and eating some wild vegetables and elm leaves, it would have been the war. But this year, we can't hand over half the grain again.!" The truth of what Ruan Tianhe said inevitably made Qingyi a little moved.

Just looking at her bending down and squatting down and touching the land, she obviously felt that the land was very hard! The soil layer originally attached to the surface has been lost... It seems that this flood is not small!

"Yan, how many troops have we had since the start of the war?"

"Huh? Does the emperor mean all the troops?

"Yes..."

"There are nearly 60,000 elite soldiers, and about 20,000 people with injuries and diseases." The stinged Yuan replied, but she didn't know what the master was thinking.

"That's 80,000 people." Qing Yi sighed, stood up and said, "I just won, and the soldiers are eager to return home. Well, Yuan'er, you can choose a few capable people to stay, and the little dove will take the troops back to the imperial capital. I heard that the river is water in the sky, and Hebo has a bad temper... I'd like to see how big his temper is." Looking at Ruan Tianhe, he smiled faintly, "Don't worry, you don't have to pay the grain this year. If this flood is not cured, how can people eat food? All right, you go back first."

"All the best of you! Xiaomin quit..."

Looking at the peasant woman leaving, Qing Yi was quite touched, "The red sun is burning like fire, and the wild rice seedlings are half scorched. The farmer's heart is like soup, and the prince and grandson shake the fan. ... It is said that within three years, no region is allowed to pay grain without authorization. All parts of the country are exempt from grain tax and salt tax.

"Yes, Emperor."

"Let's go back to the barracks first, and then set out for the upper reaches of the river after a rest." Jump on the horse's back and gallop on the reeds...

That's why Emperor Fengyi and the army that returned to the court were separated into two ways, with only the stingling and stingling, and the other two young generals went to the upper reaches of the huangchuan River - Chuan.

Just because it is closest to the Xuanchuan River, the name of this place is called 'Chuan'.

Qingyi originally thought that Huangchuan was at most the same as the Yellow River in the previous life. Although it was 'Tianhe', there were ways to guide and build it. But I didn't expect that when I saw the real Hoangchuan, I knew that it was not as simple as I thought!

In the three places of Longying, Wuzun and Fenggui, Wuzun mostly occupies the highlands and Longying is the land of the plain, while Fenggui is in the hilly area. In Fenggui territory, there are three big rivers interconnected with each other. This river is one of them, and the other two are the Qiantian River in the former Yuhua Kingdom and the Nulan River in the territory of Qianfengxiang. These three rivers will be flooded almost every year, and the agricultural products downstream are also a great headache for the subjects of all countries!

Huangchuan is located between a low hill. If it is usually a big lake, it is also a quiet freshwater lake! Every day in June and July, the snow water upstream thaws and flows into the lake, and the lake overflows, which is the waterlogging period. This makes the villagers living along the lake very distressed...

The waterlogging period is long, the shortest is about 40 days, and the longest can last for two months! I heard from the residents along the lake that there were people who used to control the water, but they couldn't really dredge the river. The bottom of this river is full of rocks washed down during the flood, and each one is more than a hundred catties! The rocks are filled at the bottom of the lake, making the lake shallower and shallower! As a result, once the lake is full, it will rush downstream immediately.

Not only that, the terrain of Sichuan Town is already very much like a ladder for lake buffering. Today's Sichuan Lake has less than a quarter of the water storage! Just like the stone steps, the water upstream falls into the Sichuan Lake, and immediately wants to go downstream... And the stone steps are very open, and the water flow in the Sichuan Lake is very rapid, and there is no peasant woman who dares to go into the water in the center.

No one dares to go into the water, how can they salvage the rocks?

Qingyi looked at this lake like the inland sea and was worried...

Qingyi was always worried about the matter ofhuangchuan in his heart. Even at the station, I can't rest at ease. Thinking of the words of the peasant women, there are a lot of hundreds of catties of rocks at the bottom of the lake. The rocks are unswerving, and the flood season is getting stronger and stronger.

Qingyi is so distressed that he will naturally not live in peace. A few people inquire separately and want to do their best to help the master share their worries. But when I inquired about it, I only heard that it was only for the Dragon Prince who lived under the Sichuan Lake, and asked the Dragon Prince to be as angry as possible. Only then can we reduce the flood...

Qingyi smiled as soon as he heard their return and asked, "Who told you that the Dragon Prince lived at the bottom of the lake?" Has anyone seen it? The real... has been with me for so long, but I still think about the problem so simply.

"If the emperor says that there is no Dragon Lord, then the world is so big, who will take care of the rain and snow!?" This is the first time to follow Qingyi's young general Yin Mei. Qingyi likes to call her Xiao Yin.

He shook his head helplessly. Qingyi asked, "What else did you ask?"

"I heard from the peasant women that someone has seen the Dragon Lord! A Dragon King Temple was also built for this purpose! As soon as the flood season approaches, many people will go to the temple to worship the Dragon Prince.

"Have you seen it? What's the law?" Qing Yi asked with a smile, and heard Xiao Yin continue to say, "I heard that it was more than 60 years ago. It was said that a child had a keel in the Sichuan Lake. The Dragon Prince was unhappy and ordered the fish to tie the child away in the middle of the night. The next day, he watched the child die by the lake, and his body was full of water grass in the lake. So far, the Dragon King Temple has been built.

"It's ridiculous." Qing Yi didn't think so.

"Master! Xiao Yin is telling the truth!"

Qingyi thought for a moment and said, "I'm not in a hurry. It's getting late today. Everyone go back to their rooms and have a good rest. Tomorrow... Tomorrow, let's go to Sichuan Lake to see if we can pick up a 'dragon bone'. After saying that, he got up and went back to the room.

"Sister Yuan, what is the master talking about? Are we going to pick up the keel tomorrow? Xiao Yin was surprised. Ji Yuan shook her head and said, "The master has always been assertive in everything. Let's not guess. Yin, you said too much today..." After that, she also went back to her room.

I have to go back to my room to rest and wait until tomorrow.

Let's say that Qingyi went back to his room and thought about what Yin had just said. He felt that it was necessary to go to the bottom of the lake to talk about it. At least how many mountains and stones he had to touch, and how heavy it was... As for the 'Dragon Prince', it was just ignorant to spread the rumor.

There will be results tomorrow. Qingyi relaxed his heart, took a deep breath, looked at the direction of the imperial capital, and his eyes gradually faded away...

The next day, Qingyi and his party went to Sichuan Lake together. First of all, they also asked them if they knew water. Except for Zong Zero, the other three had never been in the water. Qingyi had no choice but to explore with himself.

Remove the extra clothes, and the upper body is only wrapped in the chest... Qingyi was not afraid, and he got into the water with a smash. At the beginning, when Qingyi saw Linxian Lake for the first time, he also went into the water and touched it himself before he found the meteorite.

Entering the water, I could feel that the water temperature was not very cold. Qingyi motioned to let Ji Ling follow him and took a deep breath. Qingyi and she dived.

Qingyi was a little surprised. The bottom of this Sichuan Lake is almost a regular trapezoid. The mouth of the lake is relatively flat and the water of the lake is clear... However, it is only about two miles, which is a big gentle slope! And there are indeed a lot of rocks at the bottom of the lake, but I don't want the peasant women to dictate it as big.

I think that maybe I can find someone to move the stone...

Feeling that there was not enough oxygen, she slowly surfaced to the surface. Looking at the subsequent stingling, she also gasped, so she went to the bottom of the lake first and tried to move the rocks. He took another big sip of oxygen and fell into the water.
