Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 664 Admiral Goryeo's 【Last】Day

At this time in Korea, Wei Chengen was building an embankment on the river embankment with his trousers rolled up and straw sandals on.

The heavy rain in the past two days washed away a newly built canal and flooded a lot of newly reclaimed fertile fields.

Holding a shovel in his hand, Wei Chengen kept shoveling the sand and buried it at the embankment breach. Wheelbarrows, carrying sacks of soil, rushed to the embankment breach.

Wei Chengen picked up a sack and said to the people around him: "The stake should be driven deeper, otherwise it will be barely blocked today, and it will be breached again tomorrow!"

"Run to the Kaicheng government office and tell Kaijing Shaoyin that I'll be there in a while! How did the embankment look like this! If he doesn't say anything, I'll chop off his head today!"

"River officer! Where's the river officer! Get over here, the river officer will not punish you for breaking the embankment! That's the Yellow River! How did this small river canal pass the inspection and release the water?! When the weather clears tomorrow, all the river dams along the way will be cleared." Check it out again, if the embankment breaks again, you are the only one to ask!"

After a busy meal, Wei Chengen threw the sack on his shoulders in front of the stake that broke the embankment. The embankment was surrounded by everyone, and within half an hour, he finally won the bet.

The crowd burst into loud cheers, and Wei Chengen wiped the sweat from his forehead with the sheep towel hanging around his neck.

The towel was covered with mud and water, and after wiping it, the face was covered with mud, which directly turned into a big painted face, and the cheering crowd turned into laughter.

Wei Chengen was also helpless, he looked at the seedlings soaked in the turbid river, this kind of flooded seedlings would not drown the seedlings if the weather was sunny tomorrow, after a day of exposure to the sun, they would dry up.

And the river sand is considered fertile enough, so it might be possible to have a bumper harvest in this cloudy and uncertain weather.

It was also a blessing in disguise.

Wei Chengen squatted on the river embankment and was busy all afternoon. He was also exhausted. Looking at the blocked river mouth, he smiled.

Whether the crowd cheered or laughed, they all recognized him. All the hard work in Korea this year was not in vain.

But the more Korean people agree with him, the more dangerous he is.

Ever since Zhao Ying's Ministry of Internal Affairs knew that he wrote to him and became Admiral Wei, he knew that he was only one step away from death.

Wei Chengen looked at the smiles on the faces of the people in Goryeo, and said to the people around him: "The official family is a benevolent person. Goryeo and Song Dynasty have no grievances or enmities. So many people in Goryeo have suffered. After I leave, the lives of the people in Goryeo It won't be hard either."

"I'm a descendant of the royal family of Silla! Since when have you ever done embankment building, dredging rivers, plowing fields, farming and mulberry work, you've come, I've done it all! And I've done it myself, and I have a deep understanding of this way!" The person next to him was Jin Fuzhe.

Wei Chengen did it himself. At the beginning, Jin Fuzhe thought it was just a show, so he followed suit.

Gathering people's hearts, Song people are good at it.

He didn't expect to do this, even for a whole year, he was also dressed in a coir raincoat, with a big face on his face, who would believe that he was Jin Fuzhe?

At the beginning, he was not very willing. It wasn't until the people saw him that the smiles on their faces changed from false to genuine, and he completely let go of the burden in his heart.

Wei Chengen said with a smile, "Gao Li is too poor."

"If the government sends new officials, you still have to rely on your five brothers of the Jin family to maintain the situation. If the new officials are stuck with what they want, you five brothers will write a letter to the government. I, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, am not your Wang Kai. , He can't tolerate sand in his eyes."

"Actually, what the common people want is very simple, that is, to have a full stomach." Wei Chengen looked at the endless farmland in despair, and finally turned into a sigh.

"Are you so sure that the official will let you go? My brother will beg you to stay in front of the official." Jin Fushi asked suspiciously.

Wei Chengen did a good job in Korea, and his elder brother is in Liaoyang, participating in the battle of Liaoyang, so he will speak well of Wei Chengen.

Thinking of this, Wei Chengen became angry. He said angrily, "Your brother is a fool! The more he boasted, the more the officials would not allow me to stay in Korea. You should pay more attention to him, he is foolish." It's on."

"If he praises me so much, tomorrow I will receive a foot of white silk."

Jin Fuzhe said with a look of disbelief: "The benevolence and kindness of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty spread all over the world. Even people in Tianfang know that the benevolence and kindness of the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is really benevolent."

"Emperor Song, how could he kill you?"

Wei Chengen looked at Jin Fuzhe's determined expression and said, "You don't understand, I'm an eunuch. Even if the officials can spare me, the ancestors can't spare me."

"Who is the old ancestor?" Jin Fuzhe asked suspiciously.

Wei Chengen ran to the river to wash his face, and said: "Our eunuchs in the Song Dynasty all belonged to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The ancestor I am talking about is Zhao Duzhi from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The official family's companion since childhood. We have no grievances, but I have a reason to die."

"I don't understand your Central Plains Dynasty. You managed Goryeo well and waited for your emperor to take down the Jinren. Didn't he just take over?" Jin Fuzhe asked suspiciously.

Wei Chengen said with a smile: "We have Zhao Tuo in the Central Plains, who was sent by Qin Shihuang to conquer Sanyue. Later, Qin Shihuang died, and Qin was full of wars. Zhao Tuo, who had an army of 35, did not have King Qin, but chose to stand on his own."

"This is the lesson. People's hearts are the most unscrupulous thing. I don't believe that I will go on like this for a long time, and I don't have any thoughts in my heart. Forget it, you don't understand it."

Wei Chengen finally washed his face clean, facing the slightly turbid water surface of the canal, he roared loudly, and suddenly a shout came from a distance.

"Admiral Wei, the angel has arrived! He is waiting for you in Kaijing."

Wei Chengen hurried to Kaesong and saw Sun Li waiting at the gate of the city.

"Admiral Wei is so majestic." Sun Li said with a smile on his face as he looked at Wei Cheng'en behind him, hundreds of cavalry pawns came on horseback.

"Sun Abban is worrying too much. These are all Korean soldiers who went to build embankments. There is no prestige. I will take a bath and then receive the order. Sun Abban will go to the Royal Palace of Korea to wait." Wei Chengen quickly got off his horse and said.

It is inevitable to take a bath to receive the decree.

While Wei Chengen was taking a bath, Jin Fuzhe broke in suddenly, and said with a horrified expression, "Admiral Wei, run away. I received a letter from my eldest brother, the Emperor of Song wants you to go back!"

"Where am I going? I'm a eunuch." Wei Chengen shook his head with a smile, without trying to hide it, just stood up from the bathtub, dressed neatly, and headed for the Qingming Palace in Korea.

Sun Li waved a cattail fan, and with a jug of wine in front of the table, he said with a smile, "I wonder if Admiral Wei has anything else to explain? If not, then I will announce the decree."
