Datang Longya

Chapter 964

An official who accompanied the people under his rule through Lupu's nightmare, no matter how much he did, he could gain the support of the people.

After a good wash in the alcohol pool, when entering the lime water pool, Li Shimin asked: "Liu Rong, after the Zhuzhou incident, the court may reward you. As a magistrate, you did not escape this disaster. Appropriate measures have also been taken everywhere, and it is estimated that it will be upgraded by two or three levels."

The lime water was worse than the alcohol pool. Liu Rong was grinning at first, but when he heard the words of the Supreme Emperor, he hurriedly returned to his normal expression, cupped his hands and said, "I am sorry for the concern of the Supreme Emperor, I am very grateful, but, as you have seen, my appearance is perfect." If you are promoted two or three levels in a row, you will be transferred. However, leaving Zhuzhou City, you will inevitably be pointed at by others. Therefore, I dared to ask the Supreme Emperor to make decisions and let me stay in Zhuzhou. Only in Zhuzhou, Only humble officials can live comfortably."

The pockmarked face after Lupus scares people no matter where they go.

Although Jincheng Taishang Queen can no longer interfere in the government affairs, Li Shimin still agreed.It is nothing to make an exception for this dedicated official.

After washing their bodies with willow water, several people could only smile wryly at the scene before them.

A total of more than 6000 people recovered from their illnesses and went out of the city. Now they are all prostrate on the ground and bowed their heads on the ground. Only the two children kneel because they are holding the clothes.

Such scenes are rare, even Li Shimin, who is used to watching others kneel down, can smile comfortably.

Even without those announcements and the nagging of officials delivering meals, the common people knew what the imperial court had done for them.Since ancient times, trust and love have not appeared without reason.Only a court that truly treats the people as if they were people can achieve long-term peace and stability.

Stretching out his hand to confront Leng Feng, Li Shimin stood behind Li Tai, making up his mind to show up naked.

Leng Feng was not embarrassed, cleared his throat and said: "Everyone in the world says that a dynasty that can feed the people and scare foreign enemies is a prosperous age. I think it's a bit perfunctory to say that. In my opinion, only human life is no longer worthless." , A dynasty with unity from all over the world is a prosperous age. You don't have to be grateful for the imperial court sending troops here this time, because you are all the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court can't love it too much.

But, businessman Xungui and others, you must be grateful.When I left Chang'an, the [-] troops could not bring all the supplies.These materials were all donated by noble merchants and even the people of Chang'an, without asking for anything in return, and they didn't even record their names.Although they don't ask for anything in return, you can't just let it go.

Lupus is terrible, you have all experienced it.When the governor Liu Rong ordered the blockade of Zhuzhou, don't hate him, he did it for the safety of other places.It would be the scariest scene if Lushang flowed out of Zhuzhou.Although you have recovered now, I still dare not say with confidence that you will be fine.The introduction of Lupus can last up to a year and a half in people. One and a half years from now, I will take you to dig a canal.After this time has passed and the introduction is gone, you can go home and reunite with your family, understand? "

The people all stood up, nodding like chickens pecking at rice.

After taking the clothes held by the two children, Leng Feng slowly put them on.

Not expensive clothes, but durable sackcloth, and it is useless to wear them next to work in the canal.

After everyone was dressed, a rocket from an eight-ox crossbow shot into Zhuzhou City.With a few muffled sounds, the monstrous flames burned up.

Seeing Zhuzhou City engulfed by the fire, many people fell to their knees and howled.

Those infected with Lupus are usually a family, and life and death in the city are a common phenomenon.

Liu Rong was also full of tears. Other people have family members who died in the city, so why didn't he.Father Gaotang had only enjoyed two years of good life before he was taken away by the demon Luchuang.

Destroying a state city is also a helpless move.Although people will be able to enter here in a year and a half, Lushang is too terrifying in the hearts of the people. If it does not experience a baptism of fire, this state city will definitely be hit by gossip.

The fire burned for a day and a night, and everyone watched it outside the city for a day and a night.

When the fire gradually became invisible and only thick smoke remained, Liu Rong led the team to the place where the canal was dug.

There is no need to post notices, and people who have recovered from illnesses from other places continue to join the team along the way.Obviously going to work and confinement, but no one is hiding.

Digging a canal is just four words, but only after arriving at the site can one understand what kind of project it is.

The ditch more than 300 meters wide and ten meters deep needs to be dealt with with hoes and shovels.

One draped on a slant, the top person digs the soil and throws it down, the bottom person digs the floating soil and puts it in a basket, and stuffs the stones to the top, and the rest is to pick the soil to a distance with a pole.

In the most primitive way of working, just watching around makes people feel powerless, but the key people don't care at all, laughing at digging soil, and laughing at picking soil.No one felt that this was voluntary labor, and no one felt that they were in confinement. They all felt that they were doing what they should.

Li Shimin didn't become an uncle, but took a shovel and joined them. Li Tai saw his father working, so he could only follow.

In the evening, the food was the same as in the city, and the people who recovered from the disease were moved blindly again.

Li Tai had several blisters on his hands, and he grinned in pain, but he didn't dare to cry out, because if he screamed out, he would be kicked by Li Shimin.

"It's all precious life. When I led a thousand soldiers through the winter, it was a hundred times more miserable than this. At that time, apart from the iron armor, there was only a layer of sackcloth inside, and the whole body was covered with chilblains. Didn't we still win?"

The people like to listen to the Taishanghuang bragging the most, and they always gather nearby to listen to Li Shimin's storytelling when eating.Of course, they still couldn't get too close. Although Li Shimin was working, there was no shortage of guards around him.

An overlord tells military stories to the common people, and when the story is exciting, the whole people falters, just like a cult gathering.

"Master, if we go on like this for a year and a half, we won't be able to achieve our goal. Purely manual labor is too much effort."

Knowing that Li Tai would have an idea sooner or later, Leng Feng asked: "Then you think of a quick way? You have been a teacher for many years, you can't go to the master for everything at this time."

With Master's permission, Li Tai decisively threw away the shovel the next day, grabbed a few soldiers and civilians who had been carpenters, and went into the forest.

Within a few days, wooden wheelbarrows replaced the shoulder poles.When the steel sent by the imperial court was in place, all the wheelbarrows were chopped off and set on fire, and a small rail was laid on the construction site.
