In the west of Junzhou City, there was heavy snowfall on the official road, and a group of people were riding horses.
"To the southwest is Sanfeng Mountain." Dong Wenbing raised his hand and pointed to Guo Hongjing.
Guo Hongjing turned around and saw three consecutive peaks, which were not majestic in fact.
It is only because it is the battlefield of the decisive battle between Mongolia and the Jin Kingdom that it adds to the splendor. People write poems such as "The black wind blew the sand and the river dried up, and the world was covered with snow."
Bones become blocked."
But thinking about it, it actually makes no sense for Meng Jin to have his decisive battle here.
Normally, Gubeikou, Juyongguan in the north, or Tongguan in the west should be the places where the Jin people faced the enemy at that time.
Junzhou is located just south of Luoyang and Kaifeng, and belongs to the hinterland of Henan.
It can be seen that Mongolia used its troops in an unconventional and eclectic manner.
After all, Guo Hongjing was not interested in these wars. He turned his eyes away from the direction of Sanfeng Mountain and looked at the fields on the outskirts of Junzhou. He murmured: "I didn't seem to see any water canal construction along the way."
"When we enter the city, let's listen to Di Ze's explanation."
"Weird..."
Guo Hongjing came to Henan to control floods and develop fields.
In the past two years, the war has not stopped. First, Li Fen was defeated, and then Li Xia was defeated. There was always fighting in the east and west of Henan. Fortunately, the war did not spread, so he was able to plan water canals.
Guo Hongjing planned how to build the canals in Junzhou half a year ago. After that, he went to other places to survey. Dong Wenbing ordered the governor of Junzhou, Di Ze, to organize the military and civilians to build the canals according to the plan.
But now half a year has passed and I came to Junzhou again, but I didn’t see the bustling scene I expected. I only saw farmers carrying water from far away.
Before entering the city, Guo Hongjing's eyes already had a look of worry.
A few miles further on, at the gate of Junzhou City, Di Ze had already lined up the road to welcome Dong Wenbing, and set up a banquet in the city to wash away the dust.
Di Ze was born into the Guide Di family. He was the nephew of the Mongolian general Di Shun and the son of Di Cong.
Di Cong was guarding Yingchuan at that time. Because Li Xia went north to work as a spy, he was framed by Zhang Wulang for colluding with the Song Dynasty. The death of Daru Hua Chi'e Ridun Bari was also blamed on the Di family.
This incident caused Di Cong's group to completely lose power and almost become criminals.
Not long after, Di Cong was furious.
That year, Di Ze was twenty-seven years old. He encountered a sudden disaster and had to run back and forth, asking for help everywhere.
Fortunately, the Di family was not uprooted, and at least the Di Shun branch was still there.
Di Ze stayed at his uncle's house for several years. Finally, when Zhang Hongdao defected, many events from that year finally came to light and the Di family's charges were cleared... Of course, no one cared at all.
It can't be called a vindication, but after that, Di Ze was appointed as the chief civil administrator of Junzhou.
…
"Your Majesty appointed me to be in charge of Junzhou because I have a deep hatred for Li Xia."
When chatting at the reception banquet, Di Ze would always mention what happened in Yingzhou back then.
"Eight years have passed. When Li Xia first went north, my father was the first person to see that this thief would be a serious problem. But he also became the first person to be framed by Li Xia and Zhang Hongdao..."
Dong Wenbing had heard of these contents.
But Di Ze can add some new details every time, which is not boring.
For example, it turns out that Li Xia and Zhang Hongdao colluded together eight years ago. This is something Dong Wenbing didn't hear last time. If you think about it carefully, it makes some sense.
Guo Hongjing had never heard of this and was a little frightened by the sinister, vicious, despicable Li Xia described by Di Ze.
"By the way, tell me...Jingchen, you and Li Xia are brothers-in-law, right?" Di Ze said, and suddenly asked this question.
Guo Hongjing was stunned, and the wine glass in his hand shook slightly.
He actually hadn't thought about this issue.
It was Dong Wenbing who waved his hand and said to him: "We can't count him as brother-in-law. Li Xia's concubine, Mrs. Zhang, has been expelled from the house long ago, and the relationship between father and daughter has been severed."
"That's it." Di Ze smiled, still very respectful and friendly towards Guo Hongjing, raised his glass and said, "When will the wedding be completed?"
"I will go north at the end of the year and get married in the spring." Guo Hongjing said: "After that, I will stay in Yanjing to plan water conservancy for the city. I want to leave before I leave..."
"God's Coming"
"Congratulations, your Majesty is now going to put you in a position of great importance."
"I don't dare to take it seriously. My eldest brother is really good at water conservancy. I am just a mediocre person who does my best. Junzhou has 30,000 hectares of farmland irrigated..."
"I am too humble." Di Ze said with a smile: "This is the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, when water conservancy is built, calendars are made, and culture and education are established. It is the time for you brothers to show their talents. I only hope that you will be in the center in the future and can support me.
One or two.”
Guo Hongjing wanted to ask about Junzhou's water conservancy, but he was interrupted like this, and he gradually realized that Di Ze had done it on purpose.
Presumably, the money and food for canal construction were swallowed up by this person.
With this thought in his mind, Guo Hongjing turned to look at Dong Wenbing and quietly signaled with his eyes.
Dong Wenbing has always cared for the people. He once sold his own land to help the people pay off their lamb loans, measured the land within the territory and distributed it to poor families...
After spending the past two years in Henan, Guo Hongjing admired his boss very much and believed that he must strictly investigate the Junzhou water conservancy matter.
But at this time, Dong Wenbing didn't notice Guo Hongjing's eyes. He was holding the wine glass and thinking about something, looking vaguely worried.
He occasionally turned his head inadvertently and looked at the guards at the door.
They chatted for a while following the topics mentioned by Di Ze, from Guo Shoujing in Xingqing Mansion to the new metropolis to be built in Yanjing and back to the war with Guanzhong. Finally, Dong Wenbing ordered the others to retreat and talked with Di Ze
Chat alone.
"Respected minister, you should go and rest first."
"yes."
Guo Hongjing stood up, saluted and exited the lobby.
He looked back and saw that most of Dong Wenbing's guards had also retreated, leaving only a few people.
Those few looked very special, their eyes were as sharp as falcons, scanning the surroundings, as if they knew that they were about to talk about something important before Dong Wenbing even gave instructions.
"Is it related to water conservancy?" Guo Hongjing murmured in his heart.
~~
In the hall, Dong Wenbing put down his wine glass, looked at Di Ze with burning eyes, and asked: "Do you know why I came here this time?"
"I don't know, my subordinate."
"You are sitting in Junzhou, how dare you tell me that you don't know?"
Di Ze glanced at the several guards at the door, feeling inexplicably uneasy, and finally responded: "I have indeed noticed that there seems to be Li Xia's spies operating in the city."
Dong Wenbing's face became more and more ugly, and he said slowly: "I just said that Zhang Rou and his daughter have severed the father-daughter relationship. But I got the news again. Not long ago, Zhang Rou sent a large amount of dowry to Chang'an, and she passed through Junzhou."
Di Ze was shocked.
"What does this mean? Does the commander suspect that I am a collaborator? Anyone in Junzhou City may be a collaborator, but Li Xia and I are the only ones who are inseparable!"
After this sentence, I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but he seemed to add another sentence in a hurry.
"What's more, Junzhou and Tongguan are separated by Luoyang. How can I let the convoy pass through?"
"..."
Several guards stood under the eaves and listened to the conversation, with a look of arrogance and suspicion in their eyes.
They are the Eagle Guards, coming to investigate the iron smuggling in Junzhou.
To them, everyone in the hall today is suspect, whether it is Li Xia's brother-in-law Guo Hongjing, Di Ze who guards Junzhou, or Dong Wenbing, who has a younger brother who has taken refuge with Li Xia...
