Chapter 136 The flood

People always think that their own people are good for themselves and listen to their own words, and they will not harm themselves... But many amazing people are just in the hands of "their own people".

Xia Xianggong had always thought that Jia Changchao and Qingli gentlemen wanted to harm themselves. The excuses they found were all bullying and could not believe a single word.

But when he saw Fu Han's relatively compromised plan and heard Zheng Xiang begging for construction regardless of everything, Xia Shu thought of another possibility.

If the enemy is uneasy, the heart of one’s own people may not be loyal!

The little boy had his own idea and wanted to put the master on the fire and roast it!

Xia Xun immediately rushed to the Liutahe construction site with his people. After all, the old husband was old and was already out of breath and sweating when he arrived.

"Zheng Xiang, come here."

Seeing Xia Shu coming, Zheng Xiang, sweating profusely, hurried over and bowed to salute.

"Students have met their mentor."

"Well, I'll send me my order and temporarily suspend work."

"Ah, my teacher, you heard it right?" Zheng Xiang asked in surprise.

Xia Feng gasped and repeated, "I asked you to stop work."

Zheng Xiang was so anxious that he said aggrievedly: "Disciple does not care about his hard work, and he works hard. It's almost done. How can you stop your disciples from working? These tens of thousands of people cannot be in vain!"

As soon as he shouted, the other officials in charge of river engineering came over, and they all opposed it when they said and said something.

They were chaotic, like flies, and Xia Shu couldn't even listen to a word, and the old man was left with anger.

OK, it’s really aging that the tiger doesn’t bite people, and it’s not afraid of itself anymore. If you dare to do this a few years ago? Xia Feng was really upset, but these people are his confidants, and they really can’t break up.

If you come out and get it, you will have to pay it back.

Xia Xu finally recovered a little, waved his hand and called Zheng Xiang to the pergola next to him. After sitting down, Xia Xu proposed Zhao Zhen's order, Fu Bi and Han Qi's strategy.

"I think this method is a matter of planning for the country. Even if it is not implemented, it will take two months. After the autumn flood, it is best to wait until it is about to freeze. The amount of water is small and the risk is low. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, I will have no face to face the people of the world!"

Zheng Xiang felt like he was angry. My husband Xia, if it was delayed for two months, how could he prepare the land after winter? How could he cultivate next year? He would be so stupid if he didn't make money!

His eyes rolled and he immediately had an idea. Zheng Xiang wiped his tears and pretended to be pitiful and aggrieved.

"Mr., I dare to say, you are plotted against me."

Xia Feng glared at him and said angrily: "Tell me the reason?"

"Isn't this obvious? Seeing that the Liutahe River was done, they couldn't stop it, so they came up with such a way to delay for two months. To put it nicely, they were hiding evil intentions."

Xia Xun's face changed slightly, and the corners of his mouth moved. Zheng Xiangyou hurriedly said, "Mr.com has been out of Beijing for four or five months, and the position of Shu Prime Minister is still hanging in the air. Han Qi and Jia Changchao are all staring at these people! In two months, the Shu Prime Minister will be vacant for half a year. They can encourage His Majesty to re-appoint a Shu Prime Minister, and the teacher will not be able to go back then."

suck!

Xia Shu's face really changed. The stage of the Song Dynasty is in the capital. If you can't gain a foothold in Bianjing, no matter how capable you are, it's useless. Fan Zhongyan is famous and has a high prestige! Unfortunately, if he is not in the capital, he can only be mobilized continuously. It takes only once every six months, and he will be displaced and will kill you!

When a literati becomes ruthless, it is arsenic mixed with garlic, which is poisonous and spicy.

Xia Shu was not as popular as Fan Zhongyan. If he left the capital, he would not be killed by death. Thinking of this, Xia Shu became anxious again. He really needed to return to Beijing as soon as possible, but here on the project...

Seeing that Xia Shu was in trouble, Zheng Xiang encouraged again: "Don't worry, my teacher, I dare to use the head to guarantee the Liuta River. The Liuta River is as solid as a soup, and I will immediately put it on Shanghukou. If something goes wrong, my disciple is willing to jump off the Yellow River and hand over his life to my teacher!"

"What do I want your life? Someone is asking me!"

Xia Feng sighed helplessly, he waved his hand and drove Zheng Xiang out and kept quiet by himself.

With decades of experience, Xia Feng knew that Zheng Xiang was unfaithful and had his own plan, but following Fu Bi and Han Qi, he slowed down the gang of Shang Hukou, which was a big blow to his prestige. At that time, people would say that Xia Xianggong was not as good as Fu Han, and he was over 60 years old and strong. At that time, the old and the new would change, so how could he handle it...

Mr. Xia was so aggressive that he arrived at the construction site, but went back silently. Zheng Xiang laughed secretly, and the river workers were still continuing.

When she returned to the mansion, Xia Feng was exhausted and wanted to go to rest, but the housekeeper told him that there was a visitor.

Who is here?

It was Han Jiang.

"I was ashamed of my husband when I was young to meet Xia, but I was unable to complete my husband's instructions." Han Jiang bowed to the ground, feeling ashamed.

Xia Sheng was stunned for a moment and smiled generously, "It's okay, I can see that Fu Han and Ouyang Xiu are no longer the same as before, and they are not Wu Xia Among!"

Obviously, Xia Shu couldn't guess how evil the little Wang Ning'an was. He just thought that his opponent had improved his abilities. Han Jiang was not a tongue-in-law, so he insisted on telling Xia Shu everything. You don't know, you are in trouble, what should I do!

The two sat opposite each other for a while, and Xia Shu suddenly asked, "Zihua, what do you think about Liutahe?"

Han Jiang pondered for a moment, "Goodie Xia, it's really hard to say when she is young!"

"Zihua, your father is a sincere gentleman, and you are not bad. It's hard to say anything, but in fact, I've said everything. I insisted on returning to the river because of the great Song Dynasty. Without the natural danger of the Yellow River, how can I stop the 200,000 cavalry of the Liao Kingdom? People in the world say that I am a treacherous man, and I don't take care of him. What are they!"

Han Jiang did not respond, but thought for a long time and opened her mouth several times. Xia Feng saw it and his face sank.

"I don't like to stammer if you have anything to say."

"Oh, Mr. Xia, since that's the case, I'll say it." Han Jiang said solemnly: "I looked at the measurement results of Liuyi Academy. If they were really right, I'm afraid that I would not succeed in returning to the river."

"Then are they wrong? Why should the court listen to them?"

Without any warning, Xia Shu suddenly broke out.

"Zihua, haven't you seen it yet? Ouyang Xiu and Yan Shu are very ambitious! What kind of Six Arts School is just a slim dress for running schools and a fact of forming a clique. Take this river craftsman for example. For the past few months, I have seen the little moves they made. Is it true that they are professions everywhere and they are objective everywhere. What does that mean? The officials of the court just eat nothing, are they all the money?"

Perhaps because of the pressure, Xia Shu lost his composure and spurted out all the anger in his heart!

"I just can't follow their will! I'll give it this time, what about the lower ones? They can interfere in the government affairs unscrupulously. At that time, will the officials govern the world or the Six Arts School govern the world? Uncle Ouyang Yong wants to be the white-clothed prime minister, which is a delusion! As long as I am angry, will he not want to make this wishful thinking!"

Xia Shu took a deep breath, "Zihua, when this period is over, I will definitely recommend Your Majesty to close the Six Arts School. Your Han family has been loyal and kind for generations, so don't be confused by Ouyang Xiu and his gang."

After the outbreak, Xia Qian seemed to have exhausted his energy and sat on the chair, covering his forehead with one hand and swaying his hand. Han Jiang bowed and retreated and left the study.

In an instant, Han Jiang's face also sank.

Xia Shu suddenly got angry, seemingly scolding Ouyang Xiu, but in fact he pointed at their Han family, warning them not to step on two boats, and to follow Xia Xianggong firmly, and have no good ending!

Han Jiang smiled bitterly, and it was indeed not easy to take both sides. He hit a soft nail in Wang Ning'an and a hard nail in Xia Shu.

Forget it, let you make a fuss and see what tricks you can do!

Han Jiang stopped for a while and was about to leave. As soon as he left the city, he heard the beating of gongs and drums, which was earth-shaking and very lively.

"What's going on?"

"Master, the Liuta River has been repaired and the Shanghukou has been closed."

Han Jiang took a breath of air conditioning. Curiously, he did not rush to leave, but rushed to the high place and looked at Shanghukou. The entire project was not complicated, just digging a river channel between the new river channel and the old Henglong road, namely the Liuta River. Once the river channel is dug, the new river channel is blocked, and the surging Yellow River water will flow back to the old road along the Liuta River.

After more than a year of construction, a huge project was finally completed.

When Shanghukou was blocked and the river flowed back to the old road along the Liuta River, everyone cheered, and the people were truly happy.

The turbid dragon on the Yellow River was subjugated again, and you can enjoy peace from now on.

Zheng Xiang smiled happily. From then on, he was the number one official in the world to govern the rivers! On the one hand, he was promoted and promoted, and on the other hand, he had 180,000 acres of land. All the good things in the world fell on him, and he was so happy that he almost fainted.

Han Jiang, who witnessed everything, suddenly was very curious and wanted to know what the calculations of Liuyi Academy were. Is this old way really impossible to use?

Han Jiang simply kept observing. In the afternoon, a cold wind blew, and Han Jiang shivered. The sky in the northwest seemed to have a bowl of ink poured. The rolling black clouds quickly filled the sky, followed by the thunder and the heavy rain was pouring.

Han Jiang was shocked suddenly. He didn't even have an umbrella and rushed outside. He watched the light yellow river water rolling upstream, washing the embankments on both sides. The Shanghukou, which had just been blocked, instantly became the weakest link of the embankments. Under the erosion of the river, a large piece of soil fell into the river.

Han Jiang's heart shrank suddenly and he quickly found Zheng Xiang. In the afternoon, Lord Zheng drank a lot of celebration wine and was still sleeping soundly.

Han Jiang rushed to his bedroom, "Get up quickly, get up quickly!"

Zheng Xiang was confused and opened his drunken eyes. When he saw that it was Han Jiang, he smiled and said, "What a fuss? Haven't you agreed on the 200,000 acres of land?"

"What are you going to have? Something is going to happen!" Han Jiang was so anxious that she was sweating. "Let your people dig out the Shanghukou and release the flood!"

Zheng Xiang shook his head vigorously and said angrily: "Han Zihua, don't be confused. Now that the flood is discharged, your fields are over, your Han family doesn't care, I care!"

It was time to think about Tian, ​​and Han Jiang really wanted to strangle him to death.

Just when there was no choice, there was a sudden rumbling sound, and the dam broke through Shanghukou again. The rolling river water was like a dragon that had escaped its shackles, raging the land of Hebei again...
Chapter completed!
