Qinghe!
Jia Rong naturally knows that this famous river is an important water source for Shenjing City and one of the starting points of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in Shenjing.
"What are they looking at there?" Brother Rong was very curious about this.
"Let's watch the fun. I heard that the Thirteenth Master wants to open a river farm in Gyeonggi and let the farmers in Gyeonggi maintain the sacred capital. This will reduce the burden on farmers in the southeast and at the same time prevent and control floods in Gyeonggi. All cats and dogs will come along to watch the fun. ”
Duan Yu sneered again, "Fifty thousand canal soldiers are making money from the canal. How could the canal transport governor who was far away in Huai'an agree to the opening of the river for farming? He knew very well that after the opening of the river, the topic would be to change the river transport to sea transport. By then, the canal transport Not only did the officials of the company lose their money, they also had to sail on dangerous seas. So everyone came to watch the fun."
"Aren't they afraid of being taken away by Master Thirteen?"
Duan Yu said calmly: "I'm afraid, so I specially requested the Emperor's favor. The mistress in the palace should also be here today."
Not long after, the group finally arrived at the bank of Qinghe River. Brother Rong didn't expect that this was actually a water transport terminal. Before he even got off his horse, he saw the young master at the front of the crowd, looking at Qinghe, who looked worried about the country and the people.
When the third master heard the hug, he immediately turned around and hurriedly came to say hello to the thirteenth master.
"I've met Uncle Thirteen!"
However, the Thirteenth Master did not give him any face. He raised his hand and called out: "I am here to see His Majesty the Crown Prince. It is only because I have a disease in my foot that it is not suitable for me to give him a big salute. Please forgive me, Your Majesty the Crown Prince."
The young master touched his nose and said with a smile: "Uncle Thirteen, why should I be so polite? I just don't know when the opening of the river will take place?"
An old man walked out of the crowd and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The purpose of coming here today is not to open a river."
Um?
Not to open a river? Jia Rong looked at Duan Yu in confusion, your intelligence is unreliable. Brother, what's going on? Can you still get false information by following Master Thirteen?
Duan Yu said sarcastically: "Brother, how could I lie to you? You will find out later when you read on."
Jia Rong was behind the Thirteenth Master, so he felt comfortable hiding in the crowd, and no one had any ideas about him. I made up my mind not to interfere in matters concerning farming or water transportation. Those are not the jobs of a bodyguard, so he is wandering around.
Sometimes I think about Sister Feng's graceful figure, or think about Qin Keqing's gentle look, and the two figures cross each other in my mind. Occasionally, the heartless woman Xue Baochai appears, or I think of Xiao Daiyu, whom I haven't seen for a long time.
I don’t know how Xiao Daiyu is doing in Yangzhou!
Over there, the Thirteenth Master completely ignored the unlucky Third Master.
Although this mistress was established as the prince on the day when he showed his virtue and ascended to the throne, the biggest factor in his becoming the prince was the retired emperor. Father and son disagree, not to mention that the third master is still ranked third, and there are the young uncle and the second master in front of him.
Jia Rong always felt that this guy was incompetent and acted eccentrically.
But suddenly he heard the third master sincerely say: "Maybe the thirteenth uncle thought that my nephew was also here to make trouble. The thirteenth uncle can rest assured that opening rivers and farming is a good thing that my father has decided to do for the country and the people. I naturally support it." Yes. I came here specifically to listen to the teachings of the Supreme Emperor and learn how to manage rivers and farmland from my thirteenth uncle."
The Thirteenth Master looked at His Highness the Crown Prince in surprise, and said calmly: "In that case, let's disperse the people on the river embankment."
The mistress smiled and waved his hands to ask his guards to drive them away.
The officials of the Water Transport Department who had sent many filial piety to the palace were all dumbfounded. They didn't want to play like this.
What does the mistress care about these idiots? He knows very well that now, after all, his father is the emperor and he is the prince. How could he really hit his father in the face? He would not even be able to protect his position as the prince if he had to wait until the death of the emperor.
Jia Rong was also stunned by the mistress's sexy tricks. How could she do it like this?
Master!
sharp!
I admire you!
Unexpectedly, the mistress would find him, the humanoid ornament, in the next sentence and ask: "Uncle Thirteen, are Brother Rong here with you today?"
Seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looking around, Jia Rong walked out from among the guards and saluted, "I have met Your Highness."
"No wonder I didn't look for you. You came here in casual clothes. Let me look for you among the uniformed guards."
Jia Rong felt weird hearing this. What does it mean to have a good meal on a guard? I am not a flea, so how could I be on the bodyguard? Just stood there and laughed.
Only after a group of guards cleared the river bank did Jia Rong see what this legendary river looked like.
The river is very narrow, not as wide as expected, but the water is surprisingly clear. It was just one spot on the river bank that caught Brother Rong's attention. It was where the bend of the river struck. The rammed earth on the river bank had cracked and would collapse at any time.
Thirteenth Master said: "Have you noticed? This river is related to the water supply of the entire Shenjing. If this river cannot be controlled, the water supply of Shenjing will always be a trouble."
Why are you telling me this? Brother Rong nodded sarcastically. He is just a guard, not an official of the Capital Water Division.
Jia Rong is not very interested in Ci. These problems will be solved by the people of Dushui Division, not himself.
King Zhongshun wanted to hear Brother Rong's thoughts, and said: "I plan to open a canal to divert the water from the nearby Shah River into the Qinghe River, and then build a canal from the Qinghe River to divert the water into Shenjing. At the same time, the dry fields on both sides of the Qinghe River will be converted into paddy fields, and the water from the Qinghe River will be used. Irrigation. Brother Rong, do you have any ideas to see if it's feasible?"
What's wrong with this, diverting water from Shahe River to Qinghe River, and then from Qinghe River to Shenjing? It would be too troublesome!
Jia Rong raised her eyebrows and saw the old man who had spoken to the mistress earlier with his ears raised. Is this a test for me today? I'm just a second-class guard.
Brother Rong said with a smile: "The Thirteenth Master's idea is very good, very wonderful, and it will definitely work."
He was thinking that there would be some kind of reservoir near Shenjing in later generations, which would not only solve the flood disaster of the Chaohe and Baihe rivers and the irrigation problems of surrounding fertile fields, but also prevent the city of Shenjing from having trouble with diversion of water.
It's just that the project is too big, and Brother Rong is not prepared to mention it. That thing is more troublesome than managing the Gyeonggi waters. With the current manpower and material resources, it is basically impossible to do it for more than ten years.
Brother Rong doesn't want to cause this trouble for himself just yet.
The old man nodded with a smile, took out the map from his arms, opened it, and said: "Actually, it is not necessarily necessary to divert water into the Qinghe River. The water in Shenjing is freely supplied by hundreds of springs near the Qinghe River. It only needs to open canals on the Sha and Qing rivers to divert water for irrigation. Hundreds of hectares of paddy fields can be opened up around here."
In engineering, if there is no investigation, there is no right to speak.
Brother Rong listened to their discussion, and he naturally became invisible again. Jia Rong was also a dabbler. He was not as capable as Chao Zhong in studying this, so he kept silent.
The mistress next to him said: "Brother Rong, don't hide your secrets. You researched this natural thing and know its usage best. How should I use it in the cheapest and most effective way?"
Jia Rong has not personally investigated, and does not know the local soil and rock conditions, the size of the flow, and the size of the impact. He is now learning from Baochai, who can understand and write in his mind, but shakes his head when asked, and refuses to express his opinion.
On the way back, the mistress grabbed Brother Rong to accompany him.
"Brother Rong spoke eloquently last time when he was in Thirteenth Uncle's house. Why didn't he say a word today?" the third master complained.
Which seller wouldn't praise his or her product?
The last time we did it was for publicity, so that all the officials in the government would accept cement well in the future. It would be best to use cement in various occasions.
Cement is used to build canals and slopes, to build houses and pave roads, to build cities and dams, to build bridges and docks...
In short, cement can be used in any situation, so that the court will vigorously purchase cement from Ningguo Mansion. Otherwise, only the newly established water conservancy camp here under King Zhongshun uses cement, which is still a little short.
When the Ministry of Industry starts purchasing heavily and cement kilns are in short supply, then we will make a fortune.
He was setting the stage. Anyway, now the mistress will no longer have the idea of his cement kiln, and will talk more about the benefits of cement. If he can lead His Royal Highness to use cement to do a few good things that benefit the country and the people, Brother Rong will be considered to have made countless merits.
The key is to make money.
After entering the inner city of Shenjing, Brother Rong accompanied the Thirteenth Master back to the palace.
The Thirteenth Master said something to me again.
Jia Rong said aggrievedly: "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that everyone has thought of those things. There is no need for me to say it, but if it is how to plan water conservancy and paddy fields, where to build canals, where to build dams, these are slightly more specific things , the boy knows a little bit."
King Zhongshun just laughed and said: "I know you are hiding something secret, so just go ahead and follow me to the Water Conservancy Yingtian Mansion to be on duty."
Um?
what happened?
What did I just say?
Why was he transferred to the Water Conservancy Yingtian Mansion to be on duty?
Jia Rong came out of Prince Zhongshun's Mansion, still confused. Holding the horse, he walked aimlessly on Shenjing Street.
Of course, another reason is that after riding the horse for a long time, the buttocks really hurt.
"Uncle is back!"
The little Que'er in the mansion saw Brother Rong and quickly reported the news to Grandma in the main hall.
"Are you still getting used to being on duty on your first day?" Qin Keqing changed Uncle Rong's uniform.
Brother Rong nodded, it should be okay. As a bodyguard, you don't have much to do. You just follow the clan members and make soy sauce every day. But... the only advantage of going to Shuili Yingtian Mansion is that you don't have to stay overnight in the palace, and you can go back to the mansion every day to be intimate with your wives.
Thinking of this, Jia Rong fell into Qin Keqing's arms, feeling the warmth coming from her left and right cheeks.
Comfortable!
Thinking about it, I feel less uncomfortable and a little happy.
When he was happy, he couldn't help but act mischievously, and walked to a warm place.
Qin Keqing's face was ashamed for a while, but she immediately became cold because she saw Miss Ping'er from Xifu Lian Er Nai's Home coming over.
Just listen to this maid say: "Grandma just sent me to ask if Uncle Xiao Rong is back. She said she wanted to ask about Uncle Xiao Rong's first day on duty so that she could reply to Uncle Wang's letter."
