"Why did we listen to the words of Kong in the first place, and why did we believe in the incarnation of Maitreya?"

"Because we are hungry!" the man who was beaten shouted.

Nan Tianpeng nodded: "Yes! Because we couldn't eat enough at that time, we secretly formed a society without telling the government and believed in the birth of Maitreya."

"That man surnamed Kong has no experience in being a laborer. He doesn't know the methods of the imperial court in the past two years. He works hard to make sure that many families here in Weishan Lake will not be hungry, right? I also heard people from the south say that the capital city

There are still some tax collectors over there, but the people over there are living better and better lives!"

Having said this, Nan Tianpeng couldn't help spitting thick phlegm on the ground, and then stepped hard on it with his shoes and spun around twice.

Later, Nan Tianpeng continued: "This time, had it not been for the imperial court's order, the Xuzhou Guards were marching in Qingou, the upper reaches of the Zhuo River to rescue the affected people, and Xuzhou City was without the guards' troops and horses to guard the city. How dare a man named Kong do anything?

I guess he has never thought about how much food and money he wants to share with us. He wants to test the waters with our brothers’ wealth and lives so that they can benefit themselves!”

Following Nan Tianpeng's explanation, everyone's expressions suddenly changed.

It seems that in Brother Nan’s introduction, people like me would regard the person named Kong as cannon fodder and an abandoned pawn!

"Brother Nan! You are our leader in Weishan Lake. What do you think we should do now?"

"Extending one's head is the same as shrinking one's head. No matter what you do, as long as Brother Nan says it, all our brothers will follow it!"

Nan Tianpeng was naturally overjoyed when he saw that his Weishanhu brothers supported him so much.

It’s just that he hasn’t thought clearly about what he should do.

He only has so many horizons, and he has no idea what to do next.

These days, no one takes it one step at a time.

But now all the brothers who are working in Weishan Lake have their wealth and life tied to themselves.

This makes Nan Tianpeng happy, but also has more worries.

Suddenly, Nan Tianpeng stood up with a loud stamp of his feet. Under the hesitant gazes of everyone, a cruel look appeared on his face.

"I thought of a way out!"

"It depends on whether you have the courage to follow the labor and management!"

……

The grain transport fleet that set sail from Yingtianfu has arrived outside Suqian County, Huai'an Prefecture.

As the entire fleet has gone, the river has become increasingly difficult to navigate. Firstly, it is due to the flooding of the Yellow River this time, and secondly, because the ships in the fleet are really too big.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

According to the plan, the fleet will arrive in Pizhou County tomorrow and arrive outside Xuzhou City the day after.

When they arrive at Xuzhou City, they will move the generals, horses, grain and grass supplies, etc. to the land, then transfer by land to Guide Prefecture, Henan Province, and finally arrive at Kaifeng Prefecture.

At this time, the entire fleet was docked in the river, taking rest for the day.

"Quick! Harder!"

"Harder!"

"Don't stop!"

"I'll go find the net, and you can slip this fish!"

On the side of the treasure ship, Zhu Yunxi looked excitedly at Yutian, who was holding a fishing rod in both hands and his face was flushed. He whispered excitedly and hurriedly found a long pole to copy the net from the deck.

There are already splashes of water on the turbid water.

The fishing rod held by Yutian, the manager of Taisun Mansion, was already in a miserable state and might break at any time.

Zhu Yunxi held the net in his hand, constantly reminding Yu Tian, ​​while he led the net to the position where the fish's tail slapped the water.

Because of the emperor's grandson's low voice, the officials on the ship and the royal guards and cavalry were attracted one after another.

Under the gaze of everyone on several decks up and down the side of the ship.

Zhu Yunxi, who was holding the net in his hand, suddenly sank his arms, but his face was filled with joy. He secretly cheered up and shouted, the net was finally out of the water.

Then, a burst of cheers erupted from the entire side of the ship.

"What a big black fish!"

In the net, I saw a plump black fish that was two feet long. It was flapping its tail vigorously, trying to break free from the shackles of the net and return to the muddy water.

However, Taisun caught a big fish, how could the officers and soldiers on the boat leave Taisun empty-handed?

In just a blink of an eye, several Jinyi guards took the grappling hook from their bodies and caught it on the net with a diagonal throw. With a few helpers, Zhu Yunxi helped Zhu Yunxi get the big black fish to the deck.

Thump thump thump.

The big black fish opened its mouth and kept flapping on the deck.

With joy in his eyes, Zhu Yunxi patted the rain field where he caught this big black fish.

Zhu Yunxi was a little surprised to catch a big snakehead fish in the river. These fish are usually found in muddy mud pools and places with many aquatic plants, not in places like the Yellow River.

It reminds people to weigh the big black fish.

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "Take it and kill it, and serve it with pickled vegetables and old tofu. We will eat fish on the boat tonight and drink fish soup. Each person will have three taels of wine."

There is only one big black fish, so it is naturally impossible for everyone in the same boat to eat fish meat and drink fish soup.

But now that His Highness Taisun has spoken, the fish in the river today will not escape the fate of being cooked.

On the entire deck, both officials and guardsmen cheered loudly.

Seeing the chaos on the treasure ship, the officers and soldiers began to roll up their sleeves for the three ounces of wine, preparing to jump directly into the river to fish. Zhu Yunxi smiled and did not control them.

After today, the fleet is about to enter Xuzhou Prefecture. From now on, it will be in the disaster-stricken Six Prefectures. No one knows what will happen. Now it is a good idea to take the opportunity of being transferred to Big Black Fish to let everyone relax.

A good thing.

Watching people go to work.

Zhu Yunxi opened his eyes and waved to Pan Deshan who was not far away.

Pan Deshan clasped his hands together and walked over quickly.

"Your Highness."

"Fucheng, you have to have a drink with me tonight." Zhu Yunxi looked at the river with countless little white dragons in the waves, and said to Pan Deshan.

"Fucheng" is Pan Deshan's character.

Pan Deshan smiled and said: "I am disrespectful and dare not obey my orders."

Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows and said, "I heard that you have been talking to the accompanying craftsmen sent by Zhang Ergong these two days?"

Pan Deshan nodded and looked at the turbid river: "I know that the thing called cement that your highness and Zhang Dajiang made before is said to be as strong as iron. It has been used to build a city on nine sides. From Yingtian Mansion to Taiping

The cement road in Fukuang has also been repaired, and the imperial court has begun to repair the cement road from Yingtianfu to Hangzhoufu.

So I was thinking, if cement can be so strong, whether it can be used to build river embankments, and whether it can be used to block breaches and other river maintenance purposes."

Zhu Yunxi nodded, his eyes became a little deeper, he looked at Pan Deshan, and said quietly: "I think, Fucheng has reached a conclusion?"

Pan Deshan nodded: "I believe that if there is cement to help, my method of river control will be even more powerful. I even dare to say that as long as there is no flood that has not been seen in thousands of years, the Yellow River can be kept safe."

Not seen in a thousand years?

Zhu Yunxi nodded slightly: "Have you ever considered the cost of building dams and embankments with cement?"

Pan Deshan was stunned for a moment, he really hadn't thought about this question.

His thoughts from beginning to end were simple, that is, how to heal the Yellow River. After this foundation, he then decided how much silver and grain he needed to do this well.

When Pan Deshan was stunned.

Suddenly the entire fleet began to sound the warning horn.

Zhu Yunxi immediately ran to the side of the ship.

In the distance, I saw a group of ships heading upstream, heading towards the treasure ship without any scruples.
