[Quick Travel] Every mission always comes with a boyfriend

Chen Xiuzhu on the side clasped his fists and saluted. Hearing Jin Chen's somewhat hostile voice, Chen Xiuzhu felt his heart beating faster and his blood boiling.

with a sense.

For a moment, only these two words remained in Chen Xiuzhu's mind.

Jin Chen had always been a gentle and polite son of a rich family in front of him, so Chen Xiuzhu had never seen Jin Chen like this.He originally thought that he fell in love with the gentle Jin Chen, but now he found that this cold Jin Chen was also to his liking.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

The county magistrate also heard his heart beat faster, but he didn't feel the blood boiling, instead he felt the blood flowing backwards all over his body. I don't know if it was because the county magistrate was shivering from the cold because his lower body was soaked in the water now.

Jin Chen didn't want to talk to him any more. After watching Chen Xiuzhu arrange soldiers to throw these people into the house, and then lock the door and guard it, he temporarily stopped paying attention to the county magistrate's affairs.

"Have you found any food?"

"Yes! We found several rooms full of food in the private warehouse in the backyard of the government. It is roughly estimated that if the county magistrate is willing to distribute all the food, it will be enough for all the people here for at least two months. At the same time, we also I bought a few other houses and found valuable gold and silver jewelry, mainly jewelry, but there are also silver mixed in it, the full value of these things..."

Chen Xiuzhu explained his discovery in detail.

"Well, none of those houses got flooded?"

"Yes, those houses in the backyard have been carefully sealed. When we checked, we also checked from the window. The inside of the house is very dry, so all the food is well preserved."

"it is good."

Jin Chen nodded in satisfaction.

"Don't touch it for now, use the ones we brought over first. General Zhongwu, take some people to Gaoping to see if there is anything that can help. The rest of the soldiers follow me to see the drainage condition of the ditch."

In order to avoid irreparable damage caused by natural disasters such as floods, all dynasties and dynasties have made various counties build drainage ditches, and Gaoping and the others are no exception here.It's just that this time the flood came too quickly and fiercely, and the large amount of silt it carried blocked the outlet of the drainage ditch in just a few days, and the government was reluctant to send people to clean up the silt, which caused the current situation. Condition.

To solve this disaster, the first thing to do is to dredge the drainage ditch, and then rebuild and strengthen the dam.

However, it has been more than a month since the drainage ditch was completely blocked for the first time, and more and more mud and sand have accumulated there, and it is obvious that it will not be a day's work to unblock it.Moreover, once the drainage ditch is successfully dredged, a large amount of water accumulated in the county and the village will rush towards the drainage ditch. The huge water flow may even wash away all the people responsible for dredging, causing another group of casualties.

It is a matter of life, and I am afraid that no one is willing to do it.

Although Jin Chen could use his identity to force his soldiers to do this, but after thinking twice, he explained the pros and cons of dredging the gutter to everyone, and then asked if anyone was willing to do it.

—Of course he can't give up on this matter.

Does anyone want to?

When faced with this question, most of the soldiers were silent for a while.

That's right, the ruler wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, but what if you can choose?Given a choice, who would want to take their own life as a joke?

Many soldiers looked at me and I looked at you, and there was no sound for a while.

Faced with such a situation, Jin Chen didn't say a word of urging or persuasion.He thought that he probably could understand the thoughts of these soldiers. In this dynasty, there was no strict theory of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and even the sons of merchants could obtain fame as long as they wanted to.In this dynasty, capable people will not be looked down upon in anything they do.

But to be honest, there are really not many capable people. What can most of the remaining people do?

——They can only inherit the family business of the previous generation and continue to work in the fields.

But not every family’s fields are enough to support the income of a whole family. Therefore, in order to be able to support so many people in the family, some people continue to choose to join the army. This profession may be close to death, but it has a stable source of income. , if one is lucky and gets a little military merit, even if it is only a little bit, the reward can often last a year for the whole family.

These people are soldiers for the purpose of being able to live. They don't have such deep feelings, nor are they so great and selfless. Of course they don't want to die.

this is nothing.

Jin Chen thought.

But he turned his feet, and he walked into the place he designated as 'the place where people who are willing to dredge the gutter stand'.

All the soldiers stared wide-eyed.

They looked at their Emperor His Majesty.

He was still so thin and delicate. Standing in the waist-high water, he seemed to be swept away by the waves if he was not careful.But when he walked into that place, he didn't hesitate at all, and even had a slight smile on his face—as if what greeted him was not a flood that could kill people at any time, but something beautiful that made people feel happy. something to yearn for.

Xiao Lizi was also stunned for a second, really only for a second, because the next second, he stood behind Jin Chen again without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, the slave said that if he wants to guard His Majesty, he must guard His Majesty for the rest of his life."

He laughed a few times, showing a bit of stupidity, Jin Chen knocked him on the head, and then let him go.

"Your Majesty, I would like to go together with Your Majesty to clear the drainage ditch."

Perhaps infected by Jin Chen's exemplary role, or perhaps influenced by Xiao Lizi's loyalty, a soldier walked out from the middle of the line and stood behind Jin Chen.

"Your Majesty, the minister is also willing!"

"Your Majesty, the minister is also willing!"

"Sir too!"

"The minister is also willing!"

"minister……"

With his appearance, soldiers one by one broke away from the team and stood behind Jin Chen.Slowly, all the soldiers responded to the call, and they stood neatly behind Jin Chen in a square formation, with unprecedented brilliance in their eyes.

When they took that step, these soldiers seemed to suddenly understand what the beautiful thing His Majesty was after was a bright and hopeful future for the people of the South, a vibrant and lively South.

Seeing everyone's behavior like this, there was no joy on Jin Chen's face. He turned around and looked at them with a serious tone.

"I think you all know what kind of danger you will face in dredging the gutter this time. I just want to ask you: Are you really sure? If someone wants to go back on their word now, there is still time."

"Your Majesty, I have already thought it through."

"There's nothing to regret."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, we know what we are doing."

"Your Majesty, I..."

The soldiers responded to Jin Chen's question in twos and threes, and none of them showed regret. They looked at Jin Chen firmly, with the same light in their eyes.

"it is good!"

Jin Chen gave a soft drink.

"You are all good sons of my Chilong Kingdom! Since this is the case, I will not say anything more, bring your tools and do it well, from now on, I will advance and retreat with you."

"Yes!"

The soldiers spoke with one voice, like a broken bamboo.

Some of them have even been on the battlefield, but even at the moment when the drums were beating, they have never felt as energetic and motivated as they are now. Listening to Jin Chen, it is not really an encouragement However, Peng Bai's words made people's hearts flutter. For the first time, the soldiers understood how much change the existence of "faith" would bring to people.

——And Jin Chen is their belief.

No one noticed that there was a secret smile in Jin Chen's eyes.

It is true that there is no threat or coercion to these soldiers; it is also true that these soldiers can choose whether to help dredge the gutter according to their own wishes; but, if it is not completely sure that basically everyone will join him in the end, It is absolutely impossible for Jin Chen to say that. He is the emperor, not a philanthropist. How could he let these laborers go so easily?

He only said and did that for two reasons.

One: fully mobilize the enthusiasm of these soldiers, so that they can face the matter of dredging the drainage ditch with the highest enthusiasm and the best state, and strive to complete this matter in the fastest time with quality and quantity.

Two: Deeply engrave the image of yourself as the emperor of the Red Dragon Kingdom in the hearts of these soldiers, just like now, let yourself become their belief, become their courage to face difficulties, and become their determination to overcome difficulties and dangers.

It can be said that from the very beginning when he said those words, Jin Chen had already anticipated what would happen later, and even Xiao Lizi's actions and words were within his expectation.

But so what?

Jin Chen thought he had not deceived them.

Since he was standing in that place, he also said that he would advance and retreat with them, so naturally he wouldn't just take them aside and watch foolishly.

However, unlike those soldiers who carried swords, knives and guns, Jin Chen and Xiao Lizi could be said to be empty-handed—oh, Jin Chen also had a folding fan in his hand.

Therefore, in order to be able to go down to clear the drainage ditch with these soldiers, Jin Chen specially took Xiao Lizi to a nearby country house to borrow two hoes, and then he and Xiao Lizi stood in front of the phalanx with one on their shoulders, and walked to the At the outlet of the drainage ditch, the sand is removed one by one with a hoe.

The soldiers who followed were not to be outdone, they quickly found their own positions and threw sand and sand outwards with Jin Chen.

The entrance of the drainage ditch is not too small, but it is not too big either. Naturally, it is impossible for all soldiers to participate in the sand digging operation. Therefore, the soldiers who did not get the first-hand task spontaneously moved those who were killed to the side. The excavated silt is integrated together——His Majesty just said that the silt will be of great use when the embankment is built later, so it can't just be wasted like this.
