Qi County, Kaifeng, Bianjing.

Because it is close to Kaifeng, Qixian County is one of the famous rich counties nearby.

On this day, a festive team emerged from the Qixian County Government Office. They were dressed in bright colors, beating gongs and drums, and walked towards the west of the village.

Qixian County Magistrate Yin Yide walked at the front with a smile on his face, looking very friendly to the people.

This Yin Yide was the colleague Luo Youdu met in Kaifeng Mansion. He was worried that Luo Youdu would replace him, so he secretly made a stumbling block and let Luo Youdu make a move instead.

Later, when the Wang Jixun incident occurred, Yin Yide was ostensibly used by Shi Shouxin and Zhao Kuangyin, but in fact, Lao Yin was bribed by Fan Zhi and Wang Pu first.

Then it happened that Shi Shouxin intervened in the Ministry of Household Affairs and acted as a savior to the military officials.

As a result, Yin Yide was transferred from Fengfu to serve as county magistrate elsewhere.

Years passed by, and times changed, with the rise of Luo Youdu.

Yin Yide became more and more low-key and pragmatic.

After all, being "enemies" with today's society is not something worth bragging about.

If you meet a small-minded person and crush him to death, who will you cry to?

In fact, he was looking down on Luo Youdu. Luo Youdu never bore grudges against people who could not threaten him.

Yin Yide's promotion was not a big deal. It was the result of an inspection by the Ministry of Personnel and then approval by the Council of Ministers.

As an emperor, Luo Youdu also had a good memory. He always remembered Yin Yide.

Being low-key, pragmatic and able to do things are exactly the standards of a good official.

Yin Yide kept a low profile and did a lot of practical work, and his resume and qualifications were not bad. Luo Youdu also agreed to the arrangement of the Ministry of Personnel and transferred him to Qixian County as the county magistrate.

They are also county magistrates, but the county magistrates under the jurisdiction of Bianjing and Kaifeng are obviously one level higher.

After Yin Yide's promotion, he also realized that Luo Youdu had no intention of arguing with him, so he became energetic, changed his past style, and reformed the governance in Qixian County with great enthusiasm.

On this day, he learned the news through internal channels that a soldier named Hu Bao in the county was awarded the "Haoran Righteousness Medal".

Prior to this, Luo Youdu had announced the role and significance of the medal to the world through the imperial announcement, with the purpose of commending and highlighting the recipients' contributions to the country and the nation.

A total of five medals were announced this time, each with a unique meaning.

There are medals for making great contributions to the court in terms of civil and martial arts, medals for making major discoveries in academic research and leading culture, medals for scientific innovation and leading the times, and medals for outstanding performance and fearless spirit.

Among them, the Haoran Zhengqi Chapter belongs to the last one, which is based on Mencius' saying "I am good at cultivating my Haoran Qi".

Compared with the miscellaneous newspapers, the Imperial List is a real official document, reflecting the attitude and meaning of the entire court.

Once the imperial list is announced, it will soon be spread throughout the world through special national channels.

Hu Bao is a member of the Ten Generals of the Royal Camp Division. This time he followed his superior, the commander of the Divine Guard Army Liu Fu, to be responsible for dredging the diversion canals in the Jeju section.

Jeju is located at the corner of the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

Due to the special terrain, when the Yellow River passes through the Jeju section, it will leave a large amount of sediment, so that the river bed becomes higher and higher, forming a suspended river.

Historically, because more and more silt accumulated downstream, the Yellow River changed its course to the north.

This flood was so severe that due to the existence of the river management action team, many places chose the most correct response method at the first time.

Before the Yellow River overflowed, the situation was controlled, giving the soldiers and common people a chance to fight.

Otherwise, the flood will burst the embankments, and with the technological power of this era, even the gods will not be able to save it.

Despite this prerequisite, not all areas of defense were blocked.

Due to the special environment in the Jeju section, as soon as the river rose, the river bed was too high, and it directly overflowed the river embankment and rushed towards the villages and towns in Jeju.

Min Bo, a doctor in the Ministry of Water Resources, had rich experience in water control. He retreated to Lu County. While evacuating the people, he also used the special terrain of Lu County to build embankments with sand to cover the people's retreat.

I thought that's it, as long as I save people, everything will be fine.

But after learning that the Forbidden Army was heading north, Min Bo continued to lead the resistance against the flood in Lu County in order to buy time for the Forbidden Army.

In the face of natural disasters, manpower is ultimately limited.

Minbo tried his best.

Duan, persisted for five precious days.

But it was only five days.

The flood came so quickly that many people were unable to evacuate in time.

They were either swept away by floods or hid in high places, resulting in heavy casualties.

The news reached the ears of Liu Fu, the commander of the nearby Divine Guard Army.

Liu Fu immediately organized a rescue operation.

Hu Bao volunteered to stand up...

The Yuying Division was founded by Luo Youdu. At the beginning of its establishment, he endowed the Yuying Division with military habits, but he did not formally mention it.

Military regulations and military laws are implemented in accordance with the standards of soldiers. Affected by the times, some people do not take it seriously. They just do not dare to resist because of military laws.

But some people believe in it.

Hu Bao is one of them.

Hu Bao and Luo Youdu have a certain connection.

When Luo Youdu was working in Kaifeng Mansion, he tried a cow-killing case.

It was that case that made Luo Youdu meet Zhang Qiong...

Zhang Qiong killed a cow in order to save a little girl.

In order to make a living, the owner of the cow acted rogue and asked Zhang Qiong to pay for the cow.

The owner of the cow is called Hu Sanzhuang, and Hu Bao is the eight-year-old grandson he talks about.

But in fact, Hu Sanzhuang deliberately lowered Hu Bao's age in order to arouse Luo Youdu's sympathy.

Luo Youdu solved the case by exchanging dead cows for live ones.

Hu Sanzhuang was grateful to Luo Youdu, regarded him as the great master of Qingtian, and even gave him a ranking of immortality.

Hu Bao was also deeply influenced. When he became an adult, he joined the Imperial Camp Division. As a young and energetic man, he had no doubts about Luo Youdu's military philosophy and turned it into faith.

This time when he went north for rescue, Hu Bao sacrificed his own life and saved 21 people in the flood.

Such a deed is truly a feat.

After Luo Youdu heard the news, he also felt incredible. Apart from the army of later generations, were there really such heroes who were not afraid of death?

He immediately praised, "Hu Bao is a man of righteousness and should be awarded the Haoran Righteousness Medal as a reward!"

Five medals were awarded to Hu Bao, a small soldier, who was the first to receive the medal.

Such honor is the glory of the entire county and will be written into the county annals and be remembered for generations to come.

Because of this, Yin Yide beat gongs and drums to announce the good news to his neighbors and the Hu family.

At the same time, Dong Ji was weakly dealing with the matchmaker in front of him, talking about his daughter's marriage, but there was not much joy on his face, and he always felt uncomfortable.

Dong Jijia comes from a humble family in Qixian County. His real name is Dong Yu. His ancestor is Dong Xuan of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He belongs to a local wealthy family. However, his family has been in decline for many years. Now he only has a dispensable lintel and a few acres of thin farmland left by his ancestors to survive. Because

If a person cares about everything, he is called Dong Jizhou.

Dong Ji was stingy, but he gave birth to a daughter who was as beautiful as a flower.

But this beautiful daughter had already been married to Hu Bao from the village.

When the marriage was decided, Hu Bao's father Hu Sheng saved Wang Yanchao's life and was in the limelight.

Dong Guajia got engaged to the Hu family, but Hu Sheng died in Gaoping the next year.

Dong Jiji regretted that he had already abandoned the marriage.

Especially in recent years, the status of literati has greatly improved.

The literati's natural disdain for warriors made Dong Jiji determined to regret the marriage.

It's just that Dong's daughter didn't want to do such an outrageous thing and refused to do so.

The father and daughter were in a stalemate...

Until this time the Forbidden Army marched north...

With the development of the situation, not only did the soldiers have a sense of honor, but the overall status of the soldiers in China was also raised to a higher level.

Soldiers are no longer rude men who are disliked by others, but soldiers who can stand shoulder to shoulder with literati.

As a tenth general in the Forbidden Army, Hu Bao was already qualified to marry Dong's daughter.

Dong Jiajia no longer wanted to fight with each other and agreed to the marriage.

But in fact, Dong Jiajia has been waiting for a price, and what currently catches his eye is Yin Zhong, the son of Yin Yide, and Yuan Bo, a Jinke Jinshi in the village. Although he was born in the same Jinshi class, he still has great investment value...

No matter what, he is more suitable than Hu Bao.

Dong Jiji recognized the status of a soldier, but in his eyes Hu Bao was obviously not as good as Yuan Bo, let alone Yin Zhong.
