v2 Chapter 576: Stone Turtle 1
In February of each year, it is the time when farmland and water conservancy is being built in the northern states of the Han Dynasty. This year is no exception. It is said that this habit has continued in the Han Dynasty for more than 100 years. There are sayings in "Mulberry Articles and Ten Things", "The military officials and civilians of the states under the command of the princes of Shizhou and the commander of the transshipment of yamen, the benefits and detriments of the farmers and sangs can be mutually beneficial, or they can open river channels or build dikes. "Tangtang and the like", "Gyeonggi Province and the northern states, are sent off by people in the early spring, mostly cultivated by people ’s fields, cultivated waste fields, built water conservancy projects, and built embankments. It should be a routine practice of the government and a regular examination of officials ... "and many more……
During Guo Chun's decades, the governments of the northern part of the Han Dynasty built water conservancy projects in February every year, and the dredging of river channels was fixed.
When Yan Liqiang came to the Emperor's capital, the counties around the Emperor's capital had already started the vigorous water conservancy projects. Generally, these water conservancy projects would last at least one month to prepare for spring ploughing in various places, but there were some exceptions this year. When water conservancy was being built around the Imperial City this year, because the Ling'an River on the east side of the Imperial Capital was in disrepair due to age, during the rain last year, "the long-term accumulation of floods, the river overflowed and flooded, swarmed across counties, the people The suffering is unbearable ... "Therefore, when constructing water conservancy projects this year, the relevant officials of the imperial capital city took the Ling'an River as the key object of the repair, allocated money and grain, and collected 20,000 minion craftsmen from the villages and towns around the imperial capital city. Began to vigorously rectify the watercourse of Ling'an River.
On the sixth day of the sixteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty in the Han Dynasty, on this day, the wind was sunny, the spring breeze warmed, and the river repair project of the Ling'an River to the east of the Imperial City was still in full swing. Today was just dawn, and a lot of grass was eaten. The folk craftsmen with steamed buns and pickles have gathered on the riverside on time. Under the urging of the foremen, they picked the soil, dredged the dredging, pumped the water, pumped the embankment, and started to work. Up.
From a distance, on both sides of the Ling'an River, folk craftsmen are as dense as ants, which is quite powerful.
In addition to these recruited craftsmen, many men, women, and children in the surrounding villages and towns also gathered on both sides of the river embankment at this time, holding things like dustpans, baskets, and basins.
The river embankment is being repaired in sections. During the repair, the water in the river must be drained first to work. When the water is drained, the fish and shrimp loach in the water will come out. It takes some effort to fish these fishes and shrimps, but it is much easier to fish at this time. Therefore, the surrounding villagers are very happy. The big fish with good luck are two or three feet long. The loach river is fresh and fresh. Some can be eaten by their own families, and a good meal can be sold. Many can even be sold in the restaurants of the Imperial City, earning a little silver flowers.
Just before noon, an exclamation sounded from the dredging folks in the river.
"Ah, there is a stone turtle in this river!"
"Stone turtle, a stone turtle was dug in the river!"
"There is something in the river ..."
The so-called curiosity is everyone's, but it took only a while. The news that the stone turtle was dug here has spread all of a sudden. Many folk craftsmen and even the surrounding villagers ran towards this place. It depends. It was strange that people were surging on both sides of the river.
The stone tortoise is nearly one meter long, half a meter tall, and huge in shape. It is in the silt below the river, and the whole body is mud. I don't know how many years I have been lying in this river, but the appearance is still wonderful and let the crowd watch People are amazing.
Those working folk artisans were also idle, and quickly found the rope and iron gourd. One hundred people worked hard together, and in a blink of an eye, they pulled the stone turtle that was all mud from the river to the shore.
The people around them suddenly came around and looked at the stone turtles pulled up from the river one by one.
An old silver-haired man walked over, reached out and touched the stone turtle's head, scratched it with his nails, exposing the texture of the stone turtle under the mud, and sighed, "This stone turtle is not of ordinary material, is it? Gold leaf stone, it will not rot for thousands of years, strange, how can there be a stone turtle in this Ling'an River ... " "Ah, there seems to be a word on the stone turtle's back, find some water to rinse it and see what it is ..."
Hearing the words of the old craftsman, among the people who were good about it, some people could not help but put a tub of fish and shrimp on their hands to bring water from the river and the ditch next to the stone turtle. Rush away.
"Wow ... wow ... wow ..."
Under the baptism of pots of water, the mud stone turtle gradually showed its original appearance, especially on the back of the stone turtle, and the lines of clear and deep writings appeared.
"The words on the back of the stone turtle came out, the words came out, there were many lines of words ..."
All of a sudden, countless heads widened and rushed past.
"What words, what words, read and listen ..." Those who couldn't squeeze out outside shouted loudly.

"In August of the 16th year of the Yuan Dynasty in the Han Dynasty, the drought in Luzhou ..."
"In the seventeenth year of the Yuan Dynasty in the Han Dynasty, the great earthquake in Ganzhou ..."
"In April of Yuan Dynasty in the Han Dynasty, Luchuan landslide ..."
"In September of the 17th year of the Yuan Dynasty of the Han dynasty, Tiancai came into the world, all the stars fell, the land of Gyeonggi, the imperial city became a dead land, thousands of miles became a desert, and the nations became frustrated and gray ..."
"The Modao Stone Turtle doesn't open his mouth. Seeing this thing has vitality, it has vitality, saving all peoples, and living a thousand miles to survive!"
"Big Han Yuan Tianfeng ..."
When that person was reading the words, the voices of the people around them suddenly fell down, and only two of them were spoken. The surrounding was silent, and after reading, the sides of the river bank were so scary that even the wind blew through the leaves. The sound can be heard.
Yuan Tianfeng, a legendary generation of legends of the Han empire who passed the latitude and longitude two hundred years ago, knew the astronomy, the geography, the 500 years before, and the 500 years later. This character is in the legendary stories of Mr. Shushu in the restaurant and restaurant. Of the frequent visitors, famous, almost no one knows, no one knows.

"Sir ... this ... this is what we just picked up from the river ..." A craftsman narrowed his head and whispered, and many of those who just heard those words had quietly stepped back. Already.
"Oh, there are still words on this stone turtle's back, let me see ..."
The little official went to the side of the stone turtle and looked at the words on the back of the stone turtle. It was just a moment of effort, and the face of that little official suddenly turned white ...
