Long Wind Crossing

Gu Jiusi raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Jiu's eyes, Zhao Jiu seemed very nervous, he seemed to be making a huge bet.

Gu Jiusi looked at him quietly for a while, then laughed softly: "Who do you think I am?"

"Since I have taken care of it," Gu Jiusi said calmly, "I will continue to take care of it. Let me have some air with you." Gu Jiusi approached him and said calmly, "This time, you think that Your Majesty is really Is it just for me to repair the Yellow River?"

Zhao Jiu got this, he was stunned for a while, and after a while, he suddenly leaned on the chair, his whole body seemed to be exhausted.

He raised his hand and covered his eyes, calmly said: "You send my wife and children out of Yongzhou, and I will speak."

"Good."

Gu Jiusi responded decisively.

Gu Jiusi stood up, went out to look for Mu Nan, and immediately escorted Zhao Jiu's wife and children out of Yongzhou.

He called Fu Baoyuan over and arranged the follow-up.

First, the refugees need to be settled. This time, only a few villages were affected, with less than 2,000 people, so it is very easy to resettle. Gu Jiusi's suggestion is that the original places where these villages are located are the places that are prone to disasters after the subsequent diversion of the Yellow River. It is better to take this opportunity to directly relocate the two thousand people to another place.

If you can change a place, you have to give them another piece of land. Fu Baoyuan listened, shook his head and said, "This is not right, let them go back."

Gu Jiusi frowned, he raised his eyes to look at Fu Baoyuan, knowing that there would be frequent flooding in the future, and asking the people to go back, Gu Jiusi could not understand what Fu Baoyuan meant. He thought for a moment, then said, "Is there no land to divide?"

Fu Baoyuan nodded: "Exactly."

Gu Jiusi sneered and did not speak.

He didn't bother about this issue, and directly switched to changing the river course.

This process is complicated and requires cooperation with many people. Gu Jiusi refined the whole process into each step, how much money, how many people, and who is responsible for each step. He explained clearly, After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Fu Baoyuan: "What does Master Fu think?"

Fu Baoyuan didn't speak. He looked at Gu Jiusi's list. After a long time, he smiled, but said, "I think it's good for the lower official."

Fu Baoyuan's smile made Gu Jiusi feel a little nervous. He wrote it down in his heart and didn't say much. Shen Ming watched, and when he left the door, Shen Ming immediately lost his temper: "Isn't this Fu Baoyuan just looking for trouble for us? This is not good, that is not good, nothing is good, what else are you going to do?"

Gu Jiusi looked at the sky, didn't say much, just said with Shen Ming, "Didn't I tell you to stare at Qin Nan? Why don't you go?"

Shen Ming said "oh" and hurried to find Qin Nan.

Qin Nan is no big deal. Since Shen Ming followed him, he didn't do much. In the morning, I went to the county government office for a walk, and in the afternoon, I went back to my home.

Qin Nan lived in a remote place, and there were not many people in the family, so a few guards followed him, and a few servants accompanied him to take care of his mother.

Qin Nan's mother, Zhou Shi, is nearly seventy years old, and her eyes are almost invisible. Qin Nan takes care of her on weekdays. Shen Ming is here. Originally Qin Nan didn't like Shen Minglai, but Shen Ming talked a lot and came to accompany Zhou's. Zhou's mood was much better when he heard him talk and laugh, so Qin Nan didn't reject it much.

Shen Ming was chased back by Gu Jiusi. He took care of the Zhou family and went to talk to Qin Nan. Qin Nan is sitting on the side making a fan with bamboo strips. He likes to make a fan when he is free. There are all kinds of fans hanging in the house. I don't know, he thought he was a fan seller.

Shen Ming was bored, lying on the side watching him make a fan, resting his hands under his head, chatting slowly with Qin Nan: "I said you Xingyang, Chi Qian Wang Ba Duo, you A prefect, if you don’t participate in so many bastards, why are you staring at my ninth brother? My ninth brother is such a good official, if you participate in him like this, can you do it?”

Qin Nan did not speak, he took a painted peach blossom from the side and slowly spread it on the fan. Shen Ming stared at it for a long time, and felt that it was interesting, so he came over and started to make a fan with him.

First cut the bamboo strips.

Shen Ming's knife was good, and he cut the bamboo strips very quickly. Don't be silent, just say something."

"What the eye sees is not necessarily true."

Qin Nan spoke calmly and said slowly, "You are so sure, Gu Jiusi is a good person?"

"You say I don't know about others," Shen Ming said seriously, "If you want to say Ninth Brother, I tell you, he is definitely a good person."

Hearing this, Qin Nan sneered and didn't say much. Seeing him like this, Shen Ming became anxious, and immediately said, "Hey, let me tell you..."

"The bamboo is crooked."

Qin Nan reminded Shen Ming quickly to see his bamboo pieces. He knew that Qin Nan didn't want to talk to him about these things, so he lowered his head and changed the subject: "Why do you make so many fans every day? Are you planning to open a fan shop?"

"She likes fans."

He only said this sentence, Shen Ming was stunned for a while, and then reflected that he was talking about Luo Yishui.

He couldn't help but turn his head and glanced at Qin Nan, Qin Nan's expression was very calm, there was no sadness or joy, Shen Ming thought about it, then leaned over and said, "I said, you lived alone, Aren't you sad?"

"What's so sad?" Qin Nan kept moving, spread the paper, took a pen from the side, and said lightly, "She is alive, I will accompany her well, she will first It’s common to leave. Life and death are reincarnated, what’s so sad?”

"You never thought of marrying another one?" Shen Ming blinked and glanced around, "Look at you alone, how lonely you are."

Qin Nan paused in writing, and after a while, he looked up at Shen Ming: "Although she has gone, my heart is with her. Every relationship should be respected."

"I didn't say disrespect," Shen Ming said quickly, "I just care about you..."

"If she were alive, would you tell me that?"

These words made Shen Ming angry, he laughed mockingly, sat to the side, followed Qin Nan to make a fan, and said, "Okay, if you don't listen to the good words, you can live on your own. Who cares about you for the rest of your life?"

Qin Nan did not speak. After a while, he whispered: "You also have someone you like."

Shen Ming was stunned for a while, then he listened to Qin Nan and said, "If one day she leaves, you will know that you like this person, and even if she leaves, she will live in your heart forever. The saddest thing is never that she died, but that even the fact that you like her has changed. If she doesn't like you, that's all. But if she likes you, Huang Quan will know how sad it will be. "

Shen Ming did not speak, he lowered his head and glued the fan to the fan.

There was the sound of rain outside, Qin Nan looked up at the heavy rain outside, his voice was gentle: "Actually, I live very well, no one stipulates that a person is alone and has a miserable life, I have my own I have to be busy with other things, have a mother to take care of, and have official business to think about, and I can think about him in my spare time, I really have a good time, thank you for your kindness."

Shen Ming felt a lot more comfortable when he heard this. He thought about it for a while, and then hesitantly said, "You and your wife have a good relationship, right?"

"Maybe."

"Does she like you that much too?"

Hearing this, Qin Nan's movements stopped. He seemed to be remembering something, and Shen Ming couldn't help but look up at him. He was stunned for a long time before slowly saying, "I don't know."

"Master Qin?"

Shen Ming was a little surprised. Originally, in Qin Nan's description, he thought that their husband and wife should be very affectionate, so after all these years of this person's death, he still kept a good word for her. However, when the "I don't know" came out, Shen Ming was a little surprised. Qin Nan looked out the window and said slowly, "I thought she didn't like me. When she died, I asked her to see the person she liked. After they both met, she let him go. She finally For a moment, I was by her side, and she told me that it was all over."

Qin Nan was a little dazed: "I thought at that time, maybe, she still has a little bit in her heart, a little bit... with me."

Shen Ming listened, feeling a little uncomfortable. He lowered his head and made a fan, and said in a muffled voice: "Master Qin, I said you are too crazy. You are not sure if Madam Zun has you in her heart, Don't you feel sad after holding on for so many decades?"

Hearing this, Qin Nan smiled gently. This time, he seemed to be really happy.

He lowered his head, painted the landscape, and said slowly: "If you like someone, how can you be sad? She doesn't like me, but it's just a pity. It's you," Qin Nan looked up To Shen Ming, he reminded, "Flowers must be folded straight and must be folded, don't follow me. Be a boring gourd, boring for many years, and you will only know how to reach out when everyone has gone far."

Shen Ming listened to Qin Nan's words, but there was no echo. Qin Nan thought he didn't listen, so he shook his head and didn't say anything.

After a long time, Qin Nan heard a somewhat embarrassed voice from the young man next to him: "That," Shen Ming said cautiously, "You teach me to draw a peach blossom."

Shen Ming learned to draw peach blossoms from Qin Nan, and when the sun went down, he drew the fan, carefully packed it, and handed it to the messenger along with a bunch of letters. Qin Nan was happy with him, and the two of them drank in the yard. After drinking, Qin Nan chatted with him at will.

It was mostly Shen Ming who was talking about it. Shen Ming told him about his troubles. He was very little troubled, and it was all about Ye Yun. Qin Nan listened with a smile. Shen Ming's words made him feel that he was twenty years younger, as if he was still a young man listening to his friends' chatter.

Shen Ming said that at night, when he finally finished drinking, he got up and returned to the mansion.

Gu Jiusi and Luo Zishang came back, Luo Zishang and Gu Jiusi both went to the river to oversee the work, both of them got muddy, Gu Jiusi glanced at Shen Ming and asked him to tell Qin Nan's whereabouts for the day After reporting it again, after Shen Ming finished speaking, he said with Gu Jiusi, "Brother Jiu, in fact, Mr. Qin doesn't look bad."

Gu Jiusi frowned, but said, "Why does he have such a big prejudice against me?"

Shen Ming was stunned for a while. After a while, he scratched his hair and said with some distress, "You are right."

Gu Jiusi glanced at him helplessly, and sighed: "You, when will you grow up?"

This made Shen Ming feel a little sad, and he reluctantly said, "I think so too."

"Okay," Liu Yuru said quickly, seeing that Shen Ming was really interested, "Shen Ming has a good personality, what do you always say he does?"

Gu Jiusi shrugged, he looked at the sky, and then said, "Forget it, you have something to do tonight."

"Huh?"

Shen Ming didn't understand, Gu Jiusi raised his chin: "Tonight, Zhao Jiu's family will be sent to Sizhou, I will give you the military order of Sizhou, and you will settle the people in the past."

Shen Ming got this, and immediately got serious, he responded, took the military order from Gu Jiusi, and then walked out.

He brought more than 30 people and horses, and after letting the Zhao family sit in the carriage, Shen Ming was about to set off when he heard a low voice: "I'm going too."

Everyone turned to look and found Zhao Jiu standing at the door.

Shen Ming smiled: "Don't go, don't worry, I'll cover them."

Zhao Jiu didn't say anything, he shook his head, walked over, and sat directly on the carriage, he turned his head, and said with his wife and children sitting inside: "Don't worry, I will **** You go together."

After hearing this, Shen Ming realized that Zhao Jiu went, not only because he wanted to protect his wife and children, but also because he knew that his family must be in panic at this moment, and he was their reassurance Shi, he is here, he just wants to appease his family.

Shen Ming and Zhao Jiu sat in the carriage together, and they took the Zhao family out of Yongzhou. As expected, as soon as they left Xingyang, they were chased and killed. This was to be expected, but Shen Ming was not too afraid. His martial arts skills were strong and the people he brought with him were all good at martial arts, so he fought and fled all the way. Before dawn, he ran out of the boundary of Yongzhou.

This way Zhao Jiu has been guarding in front of the carriage, no matter what time he is in front of the carriage, he is like a door that cannot be opened, a **** guarding the carriage, obviously martial arts are not good However, for no reason, Shen Ming had some respect.

When it was dawn, they arrived at the boundary of Sizhou. After Shen Mingliang dispatched the army, he placed the people in Sizhou.

Then he and Zhao Jiu rode back together, walking on the road, Shen Ming smiled and said: "I said, when you came, I thought you were very strong in martial arts, but it turned out to be a three-legged cat. In kung fu, you have never killed a few people, right? Stand in front of the carriage, aren't you afraid?"

The family was settled, Zhao Jiu was also much more relaxed, he smiled, and said a little embarrassedly: "But I am the man in this family, no matter how afraid I am, I have to stand in front."

"You said we worked hard all our lives," Zhao Jiu turned his head and looked ahead, "Don't you just want them to have a better life?"

Shen Ming listened, he thought of many things in his mind, and after a while, he responded: "You are right."

The two rushed back to Xingyang all the way. As soon as they entered the mansion, they saw Gu Jiusi wearing an official uniform and was about to go out.

Shen Ming was about to speak when he heard Gu Jiusi say, "Go back and rest, Zhao Jiu will prepare your evidence and confession, I'll talk about it later."

Zhao Jiu saluted respectfully, then watched Gu Jiusi walk out.

Gu Jiusi held a picture in his hand, which he sent people to run down yesterday.

Yesterday, Fu Baoyuan said that the land was not enough, he did not refute, but after coming out, he went to find someone to look at the map of Xingyang, and found that the land on the outskirts of the city that should have been unclaimed land, There are people, most of them are the Wang family, they occupied a large area of ​​land and built wheat fields on it.

Gu Jiusi marked the map and waited for Fu Baoyuan in the county office. After Fu Baoyuan came, Gu Jiusi spread the paper on the table and calmly said, "Master Fu didn't say enough yesterday. Go and have a look."

Speaking, Gu Jiusi raised his hand and clicked on an open space in the northwest: "Just take out this land and distribute it to the refugees, what does Master Fu think?"

Fu Baoyuan looked at the map, and his face was not very good. Gu Jiusi was about to say something when he heard Wang Siyuan's voice from outside.

"Master Gu."

Wang Siyuan walked into the door, saw Gu Jiusi there, smiled and said, "Master Gu is there too?"

Gu Jiusi responded and smiled: "I didn't expect Lord Wang to come too."

"Master Gu said about the disaster relief yesterday, but I didn't have time to come here. Of course I have to come today."

Since it was talking about disaster relief, Gu Jiusi didn't hide it, and immediately told the whole idea. Wang Siyuan listened quietly. After listening, he laughed: "Master Gu's idea is very good."

Speaking, Wang Siyuan looked at Fu Baoyuan: "Master Fu, do you think there is anything wrong?"

Wang Siyuan asked this question, Fu Baoyuan's smile could not hold back a little, he reluctantly said: "Master Gu is very right."

"If it is, then do it." Wang Siyuan immediately said, "Master Fu, this is really your fault, what Master Gu wants to do, you should do your best to help, such a dilemma, you What does it mean?"

"Injustice," Fu Baoyuan said immediately, "It's really wrong, it's true that I didn't understand Xingyang's situation. This is a dereliction of duty by a lower official. Fortunately, Master Gu has figured it out, Master Gu," Fu Baoyuan Immediately, "Excuse me."

"Excuse me."

Gu Jiusi smiled: "It's good to keep things going. Since everyone has no objection, starting tomorrow, we will divide the land among the refugees, and then prepare for disaster relief."

Wang Siyuan spoke, and Fu Baoyuan would not be embarrassed. Gu Jiusi said this, and both of them agreed.

Wang Siyuan saw that the discussion about the refugees was over, he smiled and said: "Master Gu, since the business is over, why don't we talk about private matters. I heard that yesterday, Master Shen rushed into my nephew. The mansion, indiscriminately beating people, and taking away my nephew's distinguished guests, I wonder if Master Gu knows about this?"

"Oh, I don't know."

Gu Jiusi came with an innocent attitude: "Sir Shen has already resigned, after all, he is not a subordinate of this official, what he does has nothing to do with me. But speaking of this matter, the lower official still thinks Q, Xiaguan received a report from Zhao Zhaotou, saying that Boss Wang had forcibly robbed his family, does Lord Wang know about this?"

"What happened?" Wang Siyuan also pretended to be stupid, he immediately said, "Impossible, this must be a frame-up. My nephew is honest and honest, and he will never do such a thing. If If you don't believe me, Master Gu can call out those few people, and everyone will confront them."

"Confrontation, no need for confrontation."

Gu Jiusi lifted his hand at will, and closed the account next to him. He casually said, "Tell Boss Wang to come to the prison, and the trial will know."

"Master Gu is right," Wang Siyuan nodded, repeating Gu Jiusi's words meaningfully, "call Master Shen to the prison for a trial, and then you will know everything."

Gu Jiusi smiled but his eyes became cold. Wang Siyuan didn't move at all, sipping tea slowly and said: "Master Gu, you can think about it again, don't be impulsive about some things, and don't say anything casually."

Gu Jiusi and Wang Siyuan fought all morning, and didn't come back for dinner until noon, and then rushed to the construction site to supervise the digging of the canal with Luo Zishang.

In the afternoon, Gu Jiusi heard the news of the start of disaster relief. He watched the refugees being brought into the city, lined up for land deeds, and saw the porridge shed being built, and he finally felt relieved.

In the night, Zhao Jiu's confession was also written, with a house deed signed by Wang Houchun, Gu Jiusi looked at the evidence, he thought for a while, and finally raised his eyes to Zhao Jiu and said: "Based on what you know about Xingyang Now, is it better for me to arrest Wang Houchun directly, or is it better to wait?"

"Wang Houchun has no real power," Zhao Jiu reminded, "he is just a businessman."

Gu Jiusi did not speak.

A businessman, even if he beheaded him, did not shake the people behind him.

"A radish has a pit, and a pit contains thousands of roots." Zhao Jiu said slowly, "Beheading Wang Houchun will actually not change much for Xingyang. When the execution is executed, maybe even the person will be replaced, and it may not necessarily be Wang Houchun."

Gu Jiusi listened, he flipped the fan in his hand, and after a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "Zhao Jiu, would you like to continue the investigation?"

Speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Zhao Jiu and Shen Ming: "Look into the case, wait until the end, I will take it all."

Hearing this, Zhao Jiu's eyes lit up, but he restrained his emotions, knelt down, and respectfully said: "Listen to your instructions."

And Shen Ming is used to not thinking too much, nodding: "Okay."

Because of this incident, on the second day, Gu Jiusi put Zhao Jiu and his party back.

Seeing that Gu Jiusi did not attack, Wang Houchun's anger was relieved. He went to Wang Siyuan and said with some doubts: "What do you mean by this Gu Jiusi? I've done it, and now I've let people go without saying a word, you said," Wang Houchun said cautiously, "is he afraid?"

Wang Siyuan didn't speak. He tapped on the armrest and said slowly, "If he's afraid, that's fine. Just be afraid, this young man has too much appetite."

Wang Houchun was a little confused, he said with a smile: "Uncle means that he doesn't catch me now because he wants to catch a bigger one?"

Wang Siyuan did not explain, he thought for a long time, and finally said: "I still have to send them away, this is the way."

Wang Houchun waited quietly, Wang Siyuan thought about it, and suddenly said, "Has there been any warehouse built in the city recently?"

"Yes." Wang Houchun said immediately, "I made it clear to me that this warehouse is nominally run by a man named Huzi, but spies often see Liu Yuru in that warehouse. Not only Xingyang is building warehouses, but warehouses are being built in several places.”

"The direction of their construction is the same as the Yellow River after Gu Jiusi's repair?"

Wang Siyuan came to be interested, Wang Houchun nodded: "Yes, basically the same."

Wang Siyuan thought about it for a while, and he snorted lightly: "I thought it was so lofty, not all the same people who use power for personal gain, what are you pretending to me?"

Speaking, he thought for a while: "When will this warehouse open?"

"Soon." Wang Houchun said immediately, "Tomorrow will cut the ribbon."

Wang Siyuan nodded, he asked carefully about the function of this warehouse, Wang Houchun knew that someone came to Xingyang to do business with such a large amount of money, even if it was out of businessman's instinct, he would understand clearly. Now when Wang Siyuan asked, he clearly stated Liu Yuru's plan.

"In far places, large boats are used, but the rivers after Xingyang can only be crossed by small boats, so I heard that she bought a lot of small boats and changed trains in Xingyang. This is the most suitable way to choose sections. The cost of transportation, coupled with the large volume of goods, has come down.”

Wang Houchun explained: "If she did this all over the summer, in order to save costs in the future, the caravans would choose to deliver things to them. In this way, it is equivalent to this Most of the goods in the country will be paid to them."

Wang Siyuan listened, and after a while, he slowly said, "Isn't the ribbon cutting tomorrow? When will her caravan pass by Xingyang?"

"It should be soon," Wang Houchun said, "Since the ribbon-cutting has begun, it is planned to be activated, so the first batch of goods should be soon."

Wang Siyuan responded, thought about it, and said, "Find a group of people, and intercept her goods halfway. The first batch of goods will never be allowed to enter Xingyang."

Wang Houchun was stunned for a while, and after a while, he didn't understand: "Why did my uncle suddenly decide to trouble Liu Yuru?"

Wang Siyuan glanced at Wang Houchun lightly, and then said, "Just do it."

Wang Houchun saw that Wang Siyuan was not happy and quickly apologized. Then he rushed out and found someone to arrange things.

While Wang Houchun was arranging things, Liu Yuru stood in front of the warehouse, quietly counting things.

Gu Jiusi stood at the door waiting for her, he rarely rested, let Luo Zishang and Shen Ming go to the river bank to oversee the work, and followed Liu Yuru himself.

Because it was Xiu Mu, he didn't wear an official robe, only a white embroidered blue moiré brocade robe, a small fan in his hand, and stayed behind Liu Yuru.

He watched Liu Yuru count things from morning to sunset. If he hadn't reminded Liu Yuru to eat, Liu Yuru would have forgotten to eat. When the final count was completed, Gu Jiusi sat with her on the hillside outside the warehouse to rest. Gu Jiusi handed her water and said with a smile, "It's going to open tomorrow, are you happy?"

Liu Yuru smiled, she smiled very restrained, but she could still see the joy she couldn't hide. There was fine sweat on her forehead, and her eyes were bright and gentle.

She stared at the warehouse not far away. This warehouse covers an area of ​​nearly ten acres and is a rare large warehouse. When she first arrived here, it was just a wasteland. Gu Jiusi repaired the Yellow River, and she built this warehouse. But in her eyes, this is not just a warehouse, she sees it, it is just a star, and in her mind, she clearly knows how many warehouses she has built on the land of Daxia at this moment, and these warehouses are connected in Together, they became the Milky Way in the sky, glowing in her heart.

"Jiusi," she said slowly, she looked at the warehouse in the distance, raised her hand and put her hair behind her ear, and said gently, "You know, I feel, I have something in my heart. A day."

Gu Jiusi turned her head and looked at the girl who was staring into the distance, Liu Yuru suppressed her emotions, but Gu Jiusi still felt the surging feeling in her heart, she slowly stood up, looked into the distance and said: "One day, I will have my shops in every part of the country, making the north and south very close. Not only can Jiangling be returned in one day, but I also want Youzhou to Yangzhou, and Dongdu to Qiancheng. , I want all places to be very close. If one day I miss you, no matter where you are in this world, I can see you very soon. "

Speaking, Liu Yuru turned her head and smiled at Gu Jiusi: "I hope that one day, when your name is written on the book, I can also stand by."

"It's not just because I'm your wife," she turned her head, her eyes seemed to be filled with hills, white clouds, endless mountains, and long rushing rivers, she looked into the distance , with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said seriously and firmly, "Because, I am Liu Yuru."
