Commander-in-Chief of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 71 Supervising the Repair of the Tomb

When Wang Shouren, who had been fighting hard with the imperial examination for several years, had not had a good rest, Wu Wending, who was admitted as a scholar together, had been appointed as a Changzhou promoter (in charge of the criminal name) and rushed to Changzhou from now on - although he was a seven-grade sesame official, he could roll up his sleeves to do something, which had made Wang Shouren's enviable feet itching!

At the same time, another Jinshi of Tongke was appointed as Jing Zhaoyin (Mayor of Beijing) in the matter of etiquette. Wang Shouren, who had always wanted to "achiblish contributions" could no longer sit still and followed the leader, saying that he was very capable and gave more or less a difference. Unconsciously in the autumn, the officials of the Ministry of Industry were stared at by Wang Shouren, and it was difficult to get some oil and water. In addition, he kept begging for things, which was really unbearable!

At this time, there was a errand in the court - the governor of Wang Yue's tomb, and the Ministry of Industry handed over this matter to Wang Shouren. Anyway, just build a tomb. If you can't repair it, it's impossible for Wang Yue to jump out and bite people!

So Wang Shouren became a contractor's envoy, and it was still the same sentence - it was better than nothing. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll do it!"

Wang Yue, the owner of this tomb, is not a simple person. He was the Minister of Defense during the Chenghua period (the general system of three times in the northwest). It is said that this man is tall and good at riding and shooting. During his second year of Jingtai's examination, a whirlwind suddenly blew, and his answer was swept away by the wind. Seeing that the paper was about to be handed in, the ten years of hard study in the cold window was ruined. Ordinary people can only listen to fate, but he wrote a book and waved it in the little time left!

After being a scholar, he was recommended as the commander of the Datong Military Region (governor, imperial history, admiral military affairs) with his excellent military ability, and began his military career.

After the change of Tumu Fort, the Ming Dynasty switched from a strategic attack on Beiyuan to strategic defense. Originally belonging to the second-line defense base, Xuanfu and Yansui have become the front line against the invasion of Beiyuan. They are often attacked by Beiyuan, and the local economy and people's lives have been seriously damaged. After taking office, Wang Yue immediately repaired weapons and armor, trained soldiers, repaired forts, encouraged agriculture and commerce, and rebuilt the Datong defense area. From then on, he started a competition with Beiyuan, which adopted harassing tactics against the Ming Dynasty.

The most amazing time was that Beiyuan, who had been deep into the river for nine years, went straight to Qinzhou and Zhuzhou counties. In a hurry, Wang Yue decisively analyzed the situation and found out the news: Beiyuan's main force was exhausted, and the rear was empty, which was the best time to eliminate the enemy! So he led his direct troops to fight, and ordered the generals to go left and right, day and night, galloping 800 miles and sneaking on the rear of Beiyuan.

When I was about to arrive at my destination, a strong wind suddenly blew in the sky, and the sand and dust filled the sky! Wang Yue was overjoyed and said, "This is God's help to me. Going against the wind, the enemy is not easy to notice. If you take back the troops and meet the main force of the enemy, it will be at a disadvantage. If you hit it in the wind, you will win!" So morale was greatly boosted. Wang Yue personally led two wings to attack the Beiyuan camp, and the camp was broken. Almost all the troops were destroyed. Due to this battle, Beiyuan could no longer gain a foothold in the river and was forced to migrate.

Later, Wang Yue was awarded the title of "Weiningbo", and his meritorious deeds were comparable to Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, so after his death, the imperial court built a tomb for him.

In front of repairing the tomb, Wang Shouren has learned about Wang Yue's achievements in detail and regarded him as an idol. Naturally, he is extremely dedicated to doing things! Supervising the repair of wooden tombs is not a big job. In the eyes of others, it is just to send Wang Shouren, and Wang Shouren not only takes it seriously, but also has a unique style - just like we are in the company, a person who feels that his boss has used his talent, so complaining can only damage your image more, the only The way is to do a solid job first, and then talk about other things.

In the hands of smart people, straw can also be turned into gold bars - Wang Shouren trained migrant workers as soldiers, compiled them in accordance with the "Shiwu Law", strictly stipulated the work and rest system, and taught them to cooperate. The soldiers quickly established a revolutionary friendship with their "heads" and cooperated with Wang Shouren to exercise the "eight arrays" in their spare time.

Such military training has greatly improved the efficiency of grave repair, and the task has been completed ahead of schedule with quality and quantity!

It's also strange to say that one night, Wang Shouren had a dream that Wang Yue gave himself a sword - this dream flashed away, and Wang Shouren did not study it carefully.

What's more strange is that after Wang Shouren repaired the tomb, Wang Yue's family was moved to give Wang Shouren the sword before his death.

Wang Shouren, who successfully collected his troops, returned with a full load. He got a good job that no one would do. At the same time, Wang Yue's dream has also become a beautiful talk in the streets and alleys. Later, someone said that the North Korean envoy came to Beijing to pay tribute and brought the paper that Wang Yue was blown away by the wind. It was said that when the king of North Korea went to court, a piece of paper fell from the sky. It was Wang Yue's test paper. North Korea regarded it as a heavenly object and returned to its original owner. Later, this matter came to Xiaozong's ears. Xiaozong said that he didn't know anything about it, but he pondered and asked, "What is Wang Shouren doing now!"

A minister replied, "I'm repairing the grave for Wang Yue!"

Xiaozong smiled and returned the original owner. Give this paper to Wang Shouren!

The office of ancient officials is similar to the current civil servants, and they are also scattered in the morning. However, due to Wang Shouren's achievements in repairing the grave, the Ministry of Industry specially gave him a few days off - maybe the oil and water project has arrived, for fear that Wang Shouren will get in the way.

This day, Wang Shouren took a walk in the market not far from the Meridian Gate. The market was bustling with people. Some bargained in the store, some played with the objects on the stall outside the store, and several children gathered together to kick the shuttlecock. Occasionally, a gorgeous sedan chair went over. The children ran after a while and were attracted by the old man carrying a rod of sugar gourd... ...

At this time, Wang Shouren found that an old woman was buying watermelon at a stall. The vendor looked like a crafty man at first glance, but shouted: "There are only two of the cheapest melons left in the market. It's not sweet and free!" The old woman picked a melon and put it on the scale. After weighing, the vendor said, "Ten catties, just five cents!"

The old woman hesitated and picked one exactly the same size and said, "Two!"

Wang Shouren glanced and suddenly found a magnet under the hawker's scale - no wonder his melon was cheap, and it turned out to be secretly fraudulent!

He just wanted to expose his tricks, but he didn't expect a beautiful woman to walk to the old woman first and said, "Old man, since you want two, put these two in your pocket and weigh them together!"

The vendor didn't think much about it, so he weighed the two melons together: "The two are 16 catties in total!"

The woman said, "Old man, why don't you take one and I take the other? I also buy melons!"

The old man said, "It's okay, it doesn't matter either!"

So the old man took six catties of melons and left.

Wang Shouren has fully understood the woman's intention. He silently watched how the vendor tied himself behind her! The woman said, "I'm sorry, I forgot to bring silver. I won't buy this melon first!"

The vendor was so angry that he opened his eyes and tongue.

Seeing this scene, Wang Shouren couldn't help laughing!
