I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

The man stood up, patted his butt and said, "It's work, it's work."

He said to Yelu Yanxi: "I think you have a lot of strength. Would you like to come to our village to help with the work? I will ensure that you can fill ten baskets of soil."

Then he pointed at Xiao Fengxian and said: "If you work with this loser who is weak in the middle and strong in the outside, you will definitely miss dinner."

Yelu Yanxi smiled and refused. He was just such a minister now and couldn't ignore others.

Xiao Fengxian cautiously approached Yelu Yanxi and said, "Your Majesty, we..."

Before Xiao Fengxian finished speaking, Yelu Yanxi handed him a shovel and said, "Work."

Yelu Yanxi came to the pit he had dug earlier. He had already broken through the frozen soil below. He only needed to use his strength to uncover the frozen soil.

He thought it shouldn't be difficult to fill 20 baskets in one afternoon.

But the frozen soil was actually as thick as a palm and a half, and even Yelu Yanxi's arm strength was very tiring.

It only took half an hour to dig out a square meter of frozen soil.

The frozen soil is too hard and has strong adhesion. Once dug, it will form a large piece.

With such thick frozen soil, it is not easy to break them.

They still had to hit it with a pickaxe to break it, and then slowly take it out.

After an hour, Yelu Yanxi could no longer feel the presence of her waist and arms, and they could only fill two baskets.

Yelu Yanxi was already out of breath from exhaustion, so Feng Feng quickly caught the flute, holding the pickaxe in Yelu Yanxi's hand and saying: "Your Majesty, rest a while, I will do the rest."

Yelu Yanxi also wanted to take a breath and threw the pickaxe to Xiao Fengxian. After all, he had been standing here shoveling soil into the basket and not doing any substantial physical work.

Xiao Fengxian was smart and dug directly along the frozen soil that Yelu Yanxi pulled out.

Yelu Yanxi didn't say anything, after all, Xiao Fengxian's physique was there.

It is really unrealistic to expect him to dig into the frozen soil.

As soon as Yelu Yanxi sat down, she felt hungry and exhausted all over her body. She had not felt it when she was working before. Now that she sat down, her arms suddenly felt trembling and swollen, and her waist was extremely sore.

When he was practicing martial arts as a child, it was not without this kind of soreness. However, someone would immediately bring him a medicinal bath and let him lie comfortably in the medicinal bath. Someone from the palace would squeeze his shoulders and beat his legs to relieve his fatigue.

Even the snacks are fed into the mouth.

If someone could come and give him a pat on the back at this time, he would give that person the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households.

Unfortunately, there was no such thing. Only the ravenous feeling of hunger reminded him to eat quickly.

Yelu Yanxi took out half a piece of cake from his arms that he had previously despised. He had disliked it before, but now he took a bite and felt how delicious it was.

Half of a round cake as big as a palm was given to others, and now there was only half a palm, which was not enough for Yelu Yanxi to eat, but he ate it in just two bites.

After eating it, I felt even more hungry.

Smash it, hit it, it seems that I ate too fast just now, I should have eaten slower, I couldn't help but regret it.

Unexpectedly, Yelu Yanxi would one day regret eating half a piece of cake too quickly.

.....

Looking around, we can see that the rest of the people did not stop to rest, but were still working non-stop, digging and transporting soil.

The efficiency is very high. It made him feel a little ashamed, but after just a cup of tea, they loaded up a bullock cart.

Although there are many people, they have a clear division of labor and can pull at least forty or fifty cars a day.

On the other hand, Xiao Fengxian was so old that he could only hold a basket of soil. Why didn't Yelu Yanxi notice that Xiao Fengxian could be so lazy before?

At this rate, it would be difficult to fill even ten baskets, let alone 20 baskets.

According to Liu Sheng, they can only eat after they finish working. If they are not satisfied with the work, they will not have food to eat at night. If this continues, they will become weaker and weaker, and the next day's output will continue to be impossible to complete. Don't do this three times. In five days, they might really starve to death in this reservoir.

Thinking of this, Yelu Yanxi did not dare to rest and stood up in a hurry.

He picked up the shovel in his hand and started loading the soil. Even the soil under the frozen soil was very hard.

It often takes a lot of effort to dig it out.

The layer of frozen soil that Yelu Yanxi opened was so big that the two of them couldn't move it even while standing inside.

Seeing Xiao Fengxian laboriously digging into the frozen soil, as a good emperor who cares about his subordinates, how could he watch?

Then he took the pickaxe in Xiao Fengxian's hand and said, "Go ahead and load the dirt."

"Your Majesty, minister..."

Yelu Yanxi said: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and pretend to be stupid. If you can't eat or eat tonight, I will skin you."

It is really difficult to exert strength when you are hungry. Are those people really not hungry?

They just had a meal in the morning and have been doing this kind of heavy physical work until now.

Then he gritted his teeth and persisted. He was somewhat conflicted and wanted the gong to ring faster so that he could rest more, but he also wanted to ring the gong slower so that he could work more.

Under this contradictory mentality, Yelu Yanxi worked very hard, but even so, when the gong sounded, they only loaded eight baskets.

It’s not enough to even satisfy one person.

At this time, someone in the crowd shouted: "Everyone, line up, wash your hands, wash your face, and eat."

Yelu Yanxi felt that there were many books and things at this construction site that he did not understand.

He wanted to stay at this construction site and observe slowly, but he was worried that if he stayed at this construction site, he would slowly starve to death.

Now everyone has put down their tools and queued up to wash their faces and eat. But can they eat if they haven't completed Liu Shengding's output?

Then he said to Xiao Fengxian: "Keep doing it."

How could he, the majestic and orthodox emperor of Liao and China, not be able to do what others could do?

With a grimace, Xiao Feng held out the blisters on his hand and showed them to Yelu Yanxi, saying, "Your Majesty, let's finish the meal first and then come back."

Yelu Yanxi stared, Xiao Fengxian instantly turned off the flame, and had no choice but to endure the hunger in his belly and continue working.

Until the steward arrived and said, "Okay, okay. The general has an order not to start work after the gong sounds, and the same goes for you two."

Yelu Yanxi remained unmoved until the manager asked someone to snatch the tools from their hands, and then Yelu Yanxu gave up.

The steward said: "Okay, let's go eat!"

Yelu Yanxi refused: "I haven't finished today's work, so I don't deserve to eat with the people."

This Yelu Yanxi was the person Liu Sheng specifically told him to treat kindly, and he would not dare to starve him even if he didn't do it.

The person in charge will also give him food, but what's going on with this guy now? Not going to eat either?

He said, "You misunderstood. Our general runs a work-for-relief program. As long as you are not lazy and work hard, you can eat." Then he glanced at Xiao Fengxian.

He continued: "You work very hard and you can eat."
