This summer is dry and rainy, and the sun is still scorching after autumn, and it is not until the winter months.

"God, this thief, is still doing a good thing. This day, I can freeze a lot of people to death." On the way, Du Laoba tied the reins and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Because he was fat and was not afraid of the cold, others changed into winter clothes, but he still had clothespins and felt sweat after riding for a while.

He Taizhi, who was beside him, narrowed his eyes and looked at the sun, sighed, "This day, I can protect more victims this winter. I just read it according to the farm books, I am afraid that the harvest will be bad next year."

But he quickly said: "Of course, it is important to protect the subordinates. It will be aborted if there is only land but no one will cultivate it."

Du Laoba grinned, and the fat on his face trembled. He raised his thumb and said, "Mr. He is worthy of being the star of Wenqu. Scholars even know what's going on in the fields, but it's really that, that one.

, There are thousands of rice in the book.”

"Where is Wenquxing coming to earth?!" He Taizhi was so amused and cried, and hugged and joked, "Also, Lao Du, when will your problem of losing your book bag be corrected? That's because there are thousands of millets in the book!"

Du Laoba was not annoyed by him and laughed: "A man from a rough family is showing off his skills. Mr. He should not blame him, don't blame him."

"Look, look, it's coming again!" He Taizhi said with a strange look on his face and smiled, "It's sour when he lifts his nose! Lao Du, I respect you chivalrously and righteously. You are a hero who is so righteous. What you learn from?

The corrupt scholar is sour, unhappy, unhappy!"

The two who praised each other looked at each other and laughed.

He Taizhi had a lot of dealing with Du Laoba when he was in Beijing, and he was quite familiar with it, but if he was so good that he could speak like this, he would still get along the way.

Since Zhang Hui took over the Jinyiwei, all the people under his sect also rose with the rise. Du Laoba was able to take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy power and wealth in the capital, but he was able to come to Henan, which was full of complex and crises. Not to mention that Shen Rui was very grateful,

He Taizhi also treated him much closer.

Du Laoba, who has a wide connection in the Green Forest of Beidi, has really helped a lot.

In recent years, the disasters in the Ming Dynasty have been constantly occurring. Although the disasters in northern Zhili have not reached the same severity as Henan, they have not been spared. Because of the horse politics, the people are suffering more and more.

Although there were 3,000 elite soldiers this time, they carried supplies and carried money and food for disaster relief. Ordinary little thieves dared not make this idea, but the bold horse relied on the fast horse but might not dare to strode the tiger's beard. If they drive those hungry again, they will be hungry

The urgent refugees are enough to have a headache for Shen Rui and Gao Wenhu.

Du Laoba and his gang members fought the front station, greeted the old friend of the Green Forest in Northern Zhili, and collected information.

As the army marched, there was no trouble at all. From time to time, a group of strong men called themselves "local people" and brought fat chickens and ducks to work hard for the army - they all came to give Du Laoba a face.

He Taizhi has loved playing guns and sticks since he was a child. He listened to the chivalrous stories and read so many books. Now he really can see a corner of the green forest. He is very energetic. In addition to learning to lead troops from Gao Wenhu, he is

Talking about Du Laoba and telling stories about the world.

He Taizhi was able to follow him this time because Yangmo Shou Ge, so he took out a wedding leave in advance. He smiled and said that he was escorting his cousin to finish his post, and then from Henan to Shandong to pick up his aunt Xu to attend his wedding. It was very "out of the way."

”.

Another serious expression said that he had been talking about war on paper before and had never really experienced it. This time he wanted to follow Gao Wenhu's team to see what the real marching is like.

Brother Shou turned his eyes and stared at him first, but he was just training him to wait for great use. After hearing this, he was also ready to let him go.

And He Taizhi was not looking for an excuse, he really came with the purpose of training.

Along the way, he not only followed Gao Wenhuxue seriously and led troops to camp and other matters, but also discussed the adjustments of the Beijing-Guard martial arts war formations in the actual combat of bandit suppression.

We can also sort out some relationships with some green forest characters in the story of Du Laoba and analyze the situation of refugees and bandits in Zhili and Henan with Shen Rui.

Shen Rui was also very pleased with this.

Shen Rui also knows Shou Ge so well. This time, Shou Ge sent Gao Wenhu and He Taizhi to escort him Shen Rui and provide force for cooking Henan. But the subtext also asked Shen Rui to protect them, take them to experience, and

It truly grows to be able to stand alone.

Especially Gao Wenhu, the intention of Shou Ge to release him was too obvious, and Gao Wenhu did have to stay in Henan for a long time.

Along the way, Shen Rui called Gao Wenhu and He Taizhi discussed together. Whenever local officials and gentry came to visit, they would take them by their side, let them listen and watch more, and teach them how to deal with local areas.

It would be fine if He Taizhi had always been clever. Shen Rui didn't ask Gao Wenhu to be honest and could understand the twists and turns of the officialdom, but it would be enough to seek ordinary tricks to deceive him.

Gao Wenhu also met the saint before leaving. He knew the emperor's expectations for him. He was also a honest person and learned very seriously this time.

However, due to nature, he really can't do those social activities. In comparison, he is of course more willing to talk to He Tai to talk about military affairs and martial arts.

At this time, he was walking with He Taizhi. He heard that he and Du Laoba were quarreling, Gao Wenhu couldn't help but smile, and finally sighed: "If the march was faster, I would arrive in Henan earlier, and I could save more disaster victims.

OK..."

This is the first time Gao Wenhu led his troops independently, protecting the governor and bringing disaster relief money and food. He is extremely cautious and his marching speed is not fast. However, he is from the bottom and knows the suffering of the common people best. These days are actually always there.

Urgently relieve disasters.

He Taizhi hurriedly advised, "Brother Hutou, it's better to be safe!"

Du Laoba also said: "Northern Zhili is still stable, but many of my friends in a certain family have broken news from Henan, which shows that there is still chaos there. This is almost the boundary of Henan, and it is not a matter of three or five days. Brother Gao

Don’t be anxious, just wait until the pathfinder comes back before discussing carefully.”

Gao Wenhu nodded helplessly, and couldn't help looking back at the carriages protected in the team, saying with hope: "Fortunately, Lord Li... Li Shiwang is here, I just hope that Li Shiwang can show off his magical powers and build more canals next year

Even if it is drought, you won’t be afraid.”

Because Li Jue had been dismissed from office, he called him the uncle for Li Yanqing's relationship.

He Du and his two nodded and said yes.

But it was a secret saying that I heard that this son who is good at controlling water and who can raise such a powerful son as Li San Ge is definitely extraordinary. It is a blessing in Henan.

Another thought that the eunuch party must have only one person left behind, and he can be sent here by the emperor. I guess he has two tricks...

However, Li Li, who was highly expected by everyone in the car, did not talk about water conservancy and irrigation in the coming year, but instead discussed with Shen Rui a more pragmatically the sketch of the victims' winter shed.

*

Li Jue was from Tangyin County, Henan Province. Although he had been away from his hometown for a long time, he had always been thinking about his hometown. After Jiao Fang fell from the court, the Henan Gang naturally took him as the leader, and he paid more and more attention to his hometown.

Especially in the past few years, his brother Li Jun was unwilling to join Liu Jin's disciples, and was afraid that Liu Jin would take his anger and affect his younger brother's career, so he retired due to old age and illness. Li Jue became more concerned about his hometown.

In recent years, famines in Henan have occurred frequently, and Li Li has spoken a lot for his hometown and coordinated relations with all parties to provide disaster relief as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, when the situation in Henan took a sharp turn, Liu Jin fell, and Li Wu couldn't take care of himself and went to Henan.

Shen Rui also did his homework before going to the imperial prison to "ask for confessions".

As soon as we met, we didn't mention Liu Jin's underground palace at all. We spoke about the worse situation in Henan and the emperor's appointment. We praised Li Yu's early achievements in disaster relief in Shanxi. Finally, we asked him if he was willing to go to Henan with him to provide disaster relief. .

Li Li was even lazy to lift his eyelids.

He was ups and downs in his official career and worked as a doctor in the Ministry of Justice. He was used to all kinds of tricks to induce confessions. He only said that Shen Rui was falsely lying to him. Especially before he was imprisoned, Shen Rui had a nickname - but he defeated Liu Jin and was not castrated. The "sunken house search" of the Party's various corporations.

These days he was detained, even if he was tortured, he would bite him to death. It was not because he was secretly guarding Liu Jin, but because he knew that once he opened his mouth, he would be accused of deceiving the emperor and rebelling against him, and that would kill the nine clans. !

There is nothing "If I had known this, why should I go back to the beginning?" Liu Jin was powerful at the time. Since he was told that there was such an underground palace but refused to help build it, Liu Jin would have to kill him at that time. And with the cruelty of this eunuch, Li Li's family can't escape the evil move.

All the people died, but he just chose to die later.

He was also lucky, thinking that Liu Jinsheng was grand and old, if Shunshun died, the underground palace would be over...

At this point, Li Jue did not expect to leave the prison alive, but he kept silent, had no evidence of confession, and at least he had no reason to kill the nine clans. He tried his best to seek a way out for his relatives.

The oil lamp in the prison was dim, and Shen Rui seemed to have not noticed Li Li's ugly face. After a change of topic, he talked about the matters of the Qingyi School, Luban School and other craftsmen's schools built in Shandong.

Finally, he said that he would also build such schools in Henan, and he would be even higher than the Craftsman School, and was named the School of Engineering.

He intends to recruit scholars with fame and above, who are good at studying things, and specializes in civil engineering, mechanical engineering and other knowledge.

It is also said that you have received approval from Your Majesty. Once the college has achieved results and is indeed beneficial to the people's livelihood, you can ask for a special examination. Just like taking the imperial examination, those who pass the imperial examination can also be appointed as officials in the local area, and those who are more good can recommend them to the labour industry. The ministry is an official.

Shen Ruidao wanted to ask Li Jun, who was once a scholar, to be the chief minister, to take charge of the overall situation, and ask Li Jue to be the "chief professor" to be responsible for specific teaching matters.

Li Jue suddenly opened his eyes, staring straight at Shen Rui.

This is already the beginning of the sect!

You can directly select scholars, and I don’t know how many talented people who like to study things are flocking to them!

His mind was buzzing, as if he was shouting, and his stomach would be passed down...

Seeing that the fire was coming, Shen Rui approached and lowered his voice to Shou Ge's "grant pardon" to the Li family father and son.

Facing Li Ju's complicated gaze, Shen Rui sighed, "The talents of Uncle Shi and Ziche can benefit the people, and their achievements will last for thousands of years. The emperor cherishes his talents and hopes that Uncle Shi and his son will contribute to the prosperous Ming Dynasty, and will be willing to do nothing. If you make mistakes about yourself, you will also make Ziche, and even make the Ming Dynasty. Uncle Shi, think twice…”

Li Jue naturally had to "think twice". After all, it was related to the life and death of the nine clans, so it was normal not to believe it easily. Shen Rui did not ask Li Jue for the answer immediately, but said goodbye and left, and quickly put into preparations for various matters to go to Henan.

The reason why he was in a hurry to go to Henan was that it was because disaster relief was like firefighting, and Henan could no longer afford to delay it, and it was also because the situation in the court and China became increasingly chaotic.

*

The news that Shen Rui was released was aroused by a thousand scoundrels.

He was famous in the capital for a while and did so many "dirty work" for the young emperor. Everyone knows that his promotion is definitely a foregone conclusion.

Although there are many empty seats in the capital now, there are many people watching, so they all want to see where Shen Rui can take so that he can find other things so as not to waste his energy.

Unexpectedly, Shen Rui was thrown away by the emperor's edict to the big quagmire in Henan.

If the emperor had not sent another elite army to escort and allocated money and grain from the treasury to provide disaster relief, I really wouldn't know if this was a reward or a punishment.

Some people are gloating, but some are jealous of Shen Rui's official position as the Minister of Rites and Governor of the Ministry of Rites. Even if Chen confiscated his home, he would not be promoted so quickly!

There are also many complaints that are fiercely opposed - it is OK to ask Shen Rui to go to Henan, of course, it is too good, but it is not OK to give such a large official!

Even Shou Ge couldn't help but mocked him up and said, "You want to make the horse run fast and you want to stop eating grass. I wonder if the ministers who wrote the memorials can be this loyal horse?"
