One thousand three hundred and sixteen foolishness
"Yes, I will make full progress in this regard, all on the next schedule."
Tian Guizi put down his bowl and wiped his mouth: "Since I took over this matter, I will not let go until all the problems come to an end."
"Then you should also pay more attention to rest. It is really too hard for you to work hard in the past five years. Then I will give you a while off, so you can rest more."
Su Yonglin took a bowl of meat soup to Tian Guizi.
Tian Guizi thanked him and then smiled and said, "I haven't had a long time to rest. I've been too busy with many things and gradually got used to this kind of life. After a sudden vacation, I may not know how to rest."
"Sit with your family and with your children. Your daughter is only two years old. It is the time when you, a father, should be with you."
Su Yonglin smiled and said, "No matter how busy the work is, don't forget to go home. By the way, the Yellow River project is over and our financial pressure is greatly reduced, so I plan to resolve the war in Jiangnan within the year and complete the unification.
When I followed the army south, you stayed in Zhongdu. After I came back, I would give you a long vacation of two or three months. You would go back to your hometown to live for a while, look at the mountains and rivers of your hometown, and look for the villagers in your hometown. You would also take your children back once, and by the way, you would sweep a tomb for your parents and sisters."
Speaking of this, Tian Guizi put away the smile on his face and unconsciously put down the soup bowl he was holding.
"So many years have passed, what will my hometown look like? Whether there are still living villagers or even living people in my hometown is something I dare not imagine. I can't imagine what kind of mood I would feel when I return to my hometown if I can't see a familiar house or a familiar person... "
Su Yonglin also fell silent.
Tian Guizi was from Songyang, Chuzhou. Her ancestors had three generations of poor peasants and two generations of tenant farmers. Not only were they rich and noble, but they were at least one generation, but they were also the kind of cows and horses that became worse and worse. Finally, Tian Guizi's generation, because of a snow disaster, even tenant farmers were not allowed to do it.
It was not only his hometown that suffered snow disasters, but many surrounding areas suffered snow disasters. His hometown was still in a slightly better situation, so many refugees flocked in and urgently needed job opportunities, so they started a tragic inversion with local tenants.
Tian Guizi's parents wanted to raise two children, but they were really not allowed to take part in the single high-quality refugees who were hungry and accepted the contract with 28. They lost their identity as tenant and were driven away.
In the cold winter, heavy snow fell, Tian Guizi's family of four, his parents and sister froze to death and starved to death on the way to escape, leaving him alone, and he was still alive and struggling with difficulty.
It was also a coincidence of fate. When Su Yonglin was nine years old, she followed her father to Chuzhou to open a new market for private salt sales in Sujia. She met a group of refugees who fled on the road. She saw Tian Guizi, who was nine years old like him, fall to the ground and unable to get up, and felt compassion.
So he got off the warm donkey cart, took Tian Guizi to the cart, wrapped him with a blanket, and did it himself, saving him with the warm porridge.
Since then, Tian Guizi never returned to his hometown. Even if the Su family sold private salt vendors arrived in Chuzhou, Tian Guizi deliberately avoided it and did not want to return to that sad place.
It was not until Su Yonglin decided to take the big guy north to Shandong to cause revolution and anti-Jin, that he returned to Chuzhou once, with the purpose of building a grave for his parents and sisters.
Unfortunately, a long time passed, and the bodies of his parents and sister were probably already returned to the dust. He had no choice but to buy what his parents and sister liked to eat according to his memory, and each person had a set of clothes, buried them in the soil, and set up a tomb for them.
What he thought at that time was that he would probably never go back, and he would most likely die in Shandong, and would probably die on a certain battlefield and turn into nutrients from the earth. So this was the first and last time he worshiped his parents and sister.
It doesn’t matter if you are lonely and lonely. Your parents and sister always have a grave. Even if it is a lonely grave, it is better than nothing.
Since then, Tian Guizi has not died and has become one of the best power figures in the world. However, he has never returned to Chuzhou again, and he does not know whether the tomb is still there.
Like Su Yonglin, he devoted almost all his energy to the Ming Dynasty. At the stall where the country was about to be unified, Su Yonglin made suggestions to him.
"Let's go back and take a look. I always have to go back. Although the past is unbearable to look back, it is precisely because of this that you must face the past bravely. It is your past, an inseparable part of you, and your original intention that you have gone all the way to the present. You shouldn't and cannot be forgotten."
Su Yonglin sat next to Tian Guizi and hugged Tian Guizi.
Tian Guizi rubbed his eyes and nodded slowly.
"I got it, I'll go back."
Su Yonglin smiled.
"This time I'm not alone anymore. You have a wife and a daughter. You are a man with a family. Take it back to see your parents and sisters, and tell them that there are successors in the Tian family. They will definitely be very pleased if they know about it."
"Um."
Tian Guizi pursed her lips and smiled slightly.
Su Yonglin and Tian Guizi set out from Kaifeng and finally arrived at the mouth of the Yellow River in Binzhou. Standing at the water condition monitoring station not far from the mouth of the Yellow River, looking at the endless sea, the two couldn't suppress their love.
The beginning of the sinners imposed on the Central Plains and Ming Kingdom was forcibly overcome by them with absolute will, courage and perseverance. The biggest threat and biggest obstacle had been solved by them with the "fool" like Yugong moving mountains.
If "fool action" is effective and benefits the country and the people, then Su Yonglin will not complete it without hesitation, whether it is five years, ten years, twenty years and thirty years.
As long as possible, he must persevere and do it.
"I have been waiting for five years on this day. During the five years, I have been telling myself that I have to persevere and believe that our people can create miracles and complete the project that is not favored by others, and that man will conquer nature!
But I have also doubted, and I have doubted whether this matter can be done, and I doubted whether such a terrifying river can be successfully introduced into the river channel and heading east. If it doesn't work, if it fails, where should we go..."
Su Yonglin looked at Tian Guizi and smiled and said, "Guizi, thank you, thank you all, you made me convinced that we can successfully complete the Yellow River diversion, so what else can we not do?"
"From the beginning, you and the Ming Kingdom were invincible in the world."
