Ming Zuo

Chapter 1571

Zuo Menggeng has always been easy-going when it comes to being an emperor.

I don't eat much, I don't use much, and I don't spend much.

Not much to say.

Overall, the general consensus is that this emperor is a good one.

But when the emperor began to implement his will forcefully, people suddenly discovered that a dragon is a dragon.

No matter how many complaints there are, no matter how much rebellion and resistance there are, the conversion of farmland to lakes has been firmly implemented.

Some people cried and howled, desperately blocking their "own land" and not allowing the government to take it back.

Then what they harvested was overwhelming bullets.

The emperor really can kill people.

When the blood really started, people despaired.

He watched with grief and indignation that the land he had worked so hard for several generations submerged in the water again.

Another response to the emperor's inexhaustible will is that, in addition to Dongting Lake, Poyang Lake, Taihu Lake, Hongze Lake and other lakes designated by the emperor, all parts of the country are returning farmland to lakes.

This incident destroyed the good reputation that the emperor had accumulated for more than ten years.

After dinner, people always scold...

Dog Emperor.

As a result, the dog emperor got worse.

As a place where people have lived for generations, Dajiang has also been given strict and unreasonable orders.

Many fish are not allowed to be caught, and neither is the pig dragon.

That Zhu Polong is a coward, he can't even beat a big goose, so what is there to care about?
The emperor did not listen to people's complaints, and such an order was even confirmed in the form of legislation.

When a few daring idiots killed three piggy dragons and were executed, people quickly realized the seriousness of the problem.

So the scolding of the emperor became even worse.

In the torrential rain in early spring, people scolding the emperor while eating at home is the most common phenomenon in this season.

No one noticed that in the heavy rains of previous years, the river that broke its embankment was safe and sound, the festering lake was calm, and the mighty river still rushed to the sea at its own pace, no longer harassing the people along the coast.

In the end, Zuo Menggeng did not leave any famous stories in Yueyang Tower.

Fan Zhongyan wrote this building to the top, and if others write again, they can only bring shame on themselves.

Only that guy named Hongli would be shameless, Zuo Menggeng didn't want to be laughed at by later generations.

On this day, Shizhu ushered in an unprecedented excitement.

A large number of soldiers and horses came to take over the defense of every inch of land here.

People turned a blind eye to such disturbances and were not afraid.

Because these soldiers have the strictest military discipline, as long as they do a good job in security, they will not take a second look at the bacon hanging under the eaves of ordinary people's houses.

On this day, the people of Shizhu put on the best clothes one after another, crowded on both sides of the road, and stretched their necks eagerly looking forward to it.

Qin Liangyu put on all the fancy clothes that had been treasured for decades, with a happy smile on his wrinkled face.

The stone pillars in the backcountry are able to usher in the emperor, and it will definitely be different in the future.

Zuo Menggeng has arrived.

Came on horseback.

This move alone made the people of Shizhu completely admire.

"You are an elder, just sit at home and wait for the younger generation to come to visit."

Zuo Menggeng jumped off the horse, prevented Qin Liangyu's plan to salute, and personally supported this glorious old man, and said casually.

Qin Liangyu's eyes are kind, maybe he saw the shadow of his elder brother and younger brother.

"The old man has been looking forward to His Majesty, and can't wait for a moment."

"Hahaha, I didn't disappoint you, did I?"

Qin Liangyu has met many emperors.

She has seen Wanli, Tianqi, and Chongzhen.

Haven't seen it either.

They are clearly facing each other, but the distance is too far, so they can't see clearly.

Only the emperor in front of him is real, and he can feel the raging flames from the arm supporting her.

Qin Liangyu completely forgot that he was old, and every part of his body was full of strength.

She personally made Ma Erba Hezha, the first bowl and welcome tea for Zuo Menggeng.

Zuo Menggeng ate not a single drop, which made all the Tujia people laugh.

"Half of the people have been relocated, and everyone has been allocated more fields. As long as they are cultivated well, they will definitely not die of hunger."

Speaking of the changes in the stone pillars, Qin Liangyu was filled with emotion.

Shi Zhu has been loyal to the country for decades, and only recently has he felt the benefits from the country.

Zuo Menggeng was dissatisfied, pointing to the bacon hanging on the eaves of each house.

"You can only be satisfied when the bacon is full."

Qin Liangyu looked at the sparse bacon in the breeze, and couldn't help looking forward to it.

"Shizhu is poor, I'm afraid he will disappoint His Majesty's high expectations."

Zuo Menggeng never speaks in a vain manner.

"If a poor place wants to become rich, there are not many ways, but it is not impossible. One is to go out, and the other is to integrate with the local area. There is no output of stone pillars, but there are beautiful scenery and special ethnic customs here. There will be more and more rich people in the future, so they must like this one.”

Qin Liangyu let out a long sigh.

"The mountains are high and the roads are far away, and the roads are difficult, and the rich can't get through."

Zuo Menggeng was full of momentum.

"Build roads if there is no road. Yu Gong can move mountains, and we are no worse than him."

The will of the emperor was manifested again, which made the Tujia people feel excited.

Zuo Menggeng pointed to the Yangtze River.

"This big river must be unimpeded, and the big ships must be able to sail to the stone pillars."

Qin Liangyu couldn't help but stand up.

"The rocky rocks in the river stretch for hundreds of miles. This is the blessing of God not allowing Sichuan and Shu to accept the Central Plains!"

Zuo Menggeng watched the countless people on the other side of the river heading towards the river under the leadership of the soldiers, and their aura reached its peak.

"The hearts of the people are greater than the sky."

Zuo Menggeng has no ability to fulfill his husband's great wish to build a dam on this vast river to generate electricity, but there is one thing he can do.

That is to order the Ministry of Engineering, the Ministry of Water Resources and the National Defense Forces to blow up all the reefs in the river.

To this end, the engineering department prepared a full 100 million catties of explosives.

When the rapids and torrents of the Three Gorges can become a thoroughfare, the land of abundance will naturally come alive.

"Your Majesty, we Shizhu people are the most industrious, please help."

Qin Liangyu seems to have seen countless white sails shuttle back and forth from the river, and then dock at the prosperous Shizhu Wharf.

"Such projects are dangerous."

"For future generations, they can afford it."

Under Qin Liangyu's call, the Shizhu people happily took their tools and joined the team to dredge the river.

Seeing the future of Shizhu, Qin Liangyu has no regrets.

She smiled and closed her eyes.

Zuo Menggeng granted Qin Liangyu the title of King Qing.

Just on the bank of the great river, the Qingwang Temple was built by decree, and the incense is enjoyed from generation to generation.

With her heroic soul waiting, this barren land and barren people can surely lead to a happy future.
