I am the king of the dead

Chapter 452 Da Ze and the happiness of the world

Before being captured, Xu Youzhen sent her whole family to Nanya, and was exposed in Fengtian Hall.

Is this damn it?

But Xu Youzhen didn't run away by herself. If the capital was really defeated by the Wala people, Xu Youzhen might even surrender.

But the capital guarded, he did not surrender, relying on his unique ability to control the water, he has survived until now.

He has been thinking about why the emperor spared him.

At first, he thought it was because of the rule of letting things go, after all, when he sent people away, His Majesty was still the King of Yi, and He had never supervised the country, but only stayed in charge, not in power.

At that time, Ming Dynasty was in the winter solstice, which was the prelude to the four seasons. His Majesty did not have high requirements on the moral conduct of the courtiers. After all, it was a time when everything was lonely, and all kinds of monsters and ghosts could happen.

Later, he thought he was trying to survive.

He is a loyal henchman of King Ji. King Ji played the piano for the Hu people and married Mo Luo as his wife. He was crying heartbreakingly at the home of the capital.

But he never made any excessive moves.

As a die-hard henchman, he gave King Jili everything but support.

It was not easy for Zhang Qiu to control the water. He exhausted all his skills and finally managed Zhang Qiu's continuous flood since the founding of the country.

This is also part of his survival.

After arriving in Hetao, Xu Youzhen finally understood that it was nothing.

His Majesty only allowed him to live because of his unique skills in water control and his ability to support countless people.

I dare not say anything else, Xu Youzhen still knows about water control. He built a Jingtai Anmin Canal in Wuyuan Mansion. Jing'an Canal and Jing'an Province have the same pronunciation.

How many people can this canal feed?Xu Youzhen didn't think about it, he was busy, he finished the Jingtai Anmin Canal, and he still had to preside over the Yangtze River dredging project.

Xu Youzhen likes to be busy, as long as she is still useful and can control the water, His Majesty will not kill him.

Up to now, Xu Youzhen has forgotten her original intention. His original intention to control the water was not very noble, it was just to atone for his sins. He has forgotten this original intention. Now he urgently wants to cure the water.

The respect from the heart of the people, the high spirits of everyone working together and the same desire of the people, the sound of clear water rushing by, the lush growth of wheat and rice, the endless fields being reclaimed, and the uplifting of farms. And then, the people who are like the bereaved dogs are finally at peace, the ignorant babies cry full of vitality, the noise in the streets and alleys of the neighbors, the bright smiles of the urchins on the haystacks, the sound of reading in the Confucianism School of the Weisuo, and the Social School...

All these things are Xu Youzhen's tireless pursuit, and this feeling always makes him very excited.

After being an official for so many years, he finally understood the feeling of being able to benefit the world at the same time.

This kind of pleasure is not pitiful, limited, and selfish. Xu Youzhen's heart is satisfied, and it belongs to tens of thousands of people in Jing'an.

The smiles of everyone in Jing'an Province are his happiness.

After the Jingtai Anmin Canal is repaired, it will exist quietly, forever, and will always play its role. Even if people have forgotten who built the river, the river is still there.

Moisturizing the earth, nourishing all the people.

The Hetao area he took over was set on fire by his family, burned, killed and looted, and lost order. The Hetao area with the lowest rank and the winter solstice. In his hands, the ancient land of Hetao has once again glowed with vitality.

Sometimes Xu Youzhen was afraid, fearing that one morning, because of some changes in the court, Ti Qi would suddenly rush to Shuofang Mansion and take his head off.

Cherishing his life is on the one hand, on the other hand, his work in Hetao has not yet been finished.

Fortunately, although a lot of unhappiness happened in the court, His Majesty seems to have forgotten that he is a loyal henchman of King Jili, and let him control the water in Hetao with peace of mind.

Xu Youzhen is good at managing politics, but he is not good at political fighting. In terms of political fighting, compared with an old fox like Hu Wei, he is two behind Yu Shaobao.

In his busy schedule, he took the time to meet with the envoy from the Great Qin Kingdom.

He didn't wear court clothes, let alone official clothes, but ordinary clothes, a jacket, cotton trousers, and a pair of ordinary cotton shoes, which were quite dilapidated.

Because after seeing the two envoys, he was about to go to the Yellow River in Jinglu Mansion to inspect the freezing situation of the Yellow River.

Afterwards, I will go to the Shengzhou factory to meet with the general manager Kuai Xiang to arrange the supply of coal this winter, the resettlement of the people who went to the west entrance, and the people who have been put into service in Tatar.

The weather is getting colder and colder. The Yellow River froze three days earlier than last year. During these three days, Xu Youzhen was worried.

Regardless of the fact that there are only three days, it means that the celestial phenomena are different.

When not farming, Xu Youzhen didn't understand why the past dynasties would care about the ten days, half a month, or even a day in the calendar.

But since Zhang Qiu's flood control, he discovered that one day represents the people's year's profit.

This explanation is not complicated.

Farming is not a very rewarding thing. Whether it is summer harvest or autumn harvest, it is a rush to harvest.

Once the weather changes, there will be heavy rain in the summer harvest, frost in the autumn harvest, and a day late harvest, and a year of busy work will be wasted.

How does it feel to have food rotting in the ground?
Xu Youzhen experienced it once, and that feeling was worrying.

It was as if someone grabbed his heart and squeezed it hard!
If the calendar is inaccurate, this kind of natural disaster will turn into a man-made disaster, and billions of people will farm the land, but there will be no profit for a year's harvest. How can we not worry?

Fortunately, Xu Youzhen has learned His Majesty's unique skills, and is lenient in anticipating the enemy.

Once the rush to harvest starts, all men, women and children will go to battle, trying to collect the grain into the grain depot before the sky changes.

If you learn His Majesty to be lenient in anticipating enemies, you will not oppose Your Majesty.

If you can't learn how your majesty predicts the enemy, you will be lenient. If you fight with your majesty, you will definitely lose.

This is a logical circle.

Xu Youzhen is from Wu County, Suzhou Prefecture, Southern Zhili Province. He is from the south and cannot tolerate the cold, so when winter comes, his cheeks turn red from the cold. Because he is busy and careless, he looks a bit sloppy.

Elena's expression was extremely strange. The person in front of her was a feudal official, the provincial governor personally sent by Emperor Huang Ming VI.

But this person was almost the same as the ordinary Ming people she had seen. The clothes were not expensive, nor were they made of silk or satin.

But Elena felt that Xu Youzhen had a strange temperament.

His eyes are shrewd, and he speaks and does things very neatly. Even though his clothes are a little shabby, this person is not shabby at all.

Nikolaoz can only sigh with emotion that they do not have such officials in Rome.

In fact, before the Ming Dynasty, there were not many such officials.

However, Daming's narrative perspective and ruling philosophy have undergone adjustments. The people are the foundation of the country, and the foundation is solid and the state is peaceful. It is the big thinking and the spiritual core.

All the ruling ideas are derived from these eight characters.

Nikolaoz has received such warnings more than once. It is not that Daming does not welcome envoys, but envoys who break the law will go to hell.

The Ming Dynasty priority principle is another narrative.

Nikolaoz hurriedly said: "We came from afar to bring friendship and exchanges. We don't intend to offend the laws of Ming Dynasty. It is not our purpose to make the two countries turn against each other."

"If my country still exists."

Nikolaoz was pessimistic about the future of Constantinople. He didn't know how long they would last if they left.

After the envoy translated Nikolaoz's words, Xu Youzhen nodded frequently and said: "The wild beasts and bandits in Jing'an Province have been calmed down, and the official roads and post roads have been leveled."

Nikolaoz took something out of his pocket, and said with great reluctance: "Your country's expeditionary force doesn't have the air of a governor at all. They forcibly took all our money."

"I brought a lot of books this time, but I didn't bring any goods. In fact, we don't have any goods to carry."

"Excuse me, can I exchange some Ming currency?"

The envoys of Nikolaoz and the envoys of other barbarian countries gave Xu Youzhen a completely different feeling.

The envoys of the largest Qin State were very frank. They did not hesitate to discuss the demise of their own country, and they were not ashamed to speak out.

The envoys of the second largest state of Qin are not philistines, and they will exchange things for money instead of messing around.

These are the two biggest differences.

What Nikolaoz took out was a ring with a weird symbol "" on it. This ring was made of all gold.

"This is the ring given to the ancestors by the Holy Lord Michael VIII 200 years ago. It is called Kele. This symbol, which is usually used on the military flag, represents: With this, victory will be guaranteed!" Nicolaus was quite dissatisfied. She said.

The Roman military flag is called the Rablan flag, and this symbol will be engraved on it, representing the confidence to win.

Nikolaoz continued: "It is very precious, and there are not many of them in Rome. The Holy Lord Michael VIII only bestowed five such rings, and a few others are lost."

Artifacts tell stories about civilizations.

This symbol was the military standard of Constantine I.

The stars in the sky spelled out this symbol that night, and the sergeants were terrified. At that time, the battle was imminent. In order to inspire people, Constantine I carved this symbol, which represented victory.

After Constantine's victory, the symbol has represented certain victory ever since.

There are not many things that can be exchanged for money on Nikolaoz, this is the only thing that can be sold, he is as shabby as the Roman Empire with only one castle left.

Elena is a very lively child. When she was in the Western Regions, because the danger of survival was imminent, Elena didn't ask for anything.

But after entering Daming, Elena wanted to buy some inexpensive things, and they had no money.

Nikolaoz was a little depressed because the governor of the province returned the ring back.

"To tell you the truth, I'm actually very poor, and I may not be able to afford the price. How about this, I can lend you two silver coins, and when you have money in the future, you can return them to me." Xu Youzhen didn't want to buy this coin. gold ring.

The ghost knows if this thing represents the power of the emperor or something!
If he bought it casually, wouldn't that be an excuse for His Majesty?

In order to survive, Xu Youzhen was extraordinarily cautious.

Two silver coins, although not much, are enough to live for a period of time, and it is completely enough to buy only some gadgets.

What Xu Youzhen received was the salary of the second rank, and two silver coins were not a lot.

Nikolaoz gave Xu Youzhen a good impression, because Nikolaoz did not hide his poverty and embarrassment.

Xu Youzhen handed him the silver coin and said, "Okay, I'm going to get busy."

"Thank you for the generosity of the governor of the province." Nikolaoz took the two silver coins and was very grateful.

Xu Youzhen rode his horse and headed towards the Yellow River. After checking the freezing situation of the Yellow River, he still had to go to Shengzhou without stopping.

Also non-stop are Elena and Nikolaoz.

They will rush from Jinglu Mansion to Wuyuan Mansion and Shuofang Mansion, and after crossing the entire Hetao Plain, they will enter Xuan Mansion from Jining Mansion, and after reporting, they will enter Beijing to face the saint.

After entering Jing'an Province, their footsteps were obviously quickened a lot, because the terrain was flat and the road surface was very smooth.

They only had books, and a mission of 300 people ran wildly on the official road post.

Elena kept looking out of the window, and said after a long time: "I'm sorry for causing you trouble, that ring is very important to you, but you want to sell it."

Nikolaoz shook his head and said: "It's nothing, we need money now, in comparison, honor and living, I choose to live."

"I don't mind selling it if someone is willing to offer a good price."

"Apparently the governor is inconvenient."

The ring in Nikolaoz's hand represented supreme honor in the Roman Empire, but in Ming Dynasty, it was only worth a little gold.

"It's because of my greed, otherwise you wouldn't have to sell it." Elena felt aggrieved.

She pursed her lips stubbornly, looking out the window, tears swirled in her eyes, Elena tried her best not to let it fall out, but it still passed across her white cheeks, and after a short pause on her cheeks, dripped on the arm.

"If you want to cry, just cry." Nikolaoz said with relief.

Elena finally burst into tears.

In Constantinople, she didn't know when the fate would be. She didn't cry, but practiced her combat skills hard, waiting for the day when the catastrophe came, ready to do her best at any time.

After the mission, the embarrassment and madness of the Ottomans did not make her cry. She represented the dignity of Rome.

Uneasy in Samarkand, did not make her cry, because Elena is a very courageous girl,

Octavian said: A warrior does not shed tears, even if he is afraid.

On the official road post in Daming, Elena cried her heart out, because a reality was placed in front of her.

The Roman Empire is really dead.

This kind of subjugation is not a change of dynasty in the usual sense, but a civilization similar to Rome, which has disappeared in the long river of history. Although there are some successors, Zhengshuo will never be there.

Nikolaoz was over 50 years old, he didn't cry, but looked out of the window with some melancholy, and said calmly: "Maybe, I said maybe, one day, we can rely on Ming Dynasty to rebuild Rome. I know it will be difficult."

"Son, your father and your uncle Constantine XI don't want you to bear such a great pressure and live well."

"Fate shouldn't put so much pressure on you, you are just yourself."

"You can be more selfish."

　The prototype of Elena is the sister of Sophia, the last princess of Rome. Their father is Thomas Paleologus of the Principality of Morea, and he is the brother of Constantine XI. Constantine XI has no heirs .There should be another update tonight.
