Zhang Yang lowered his head and looked at the situation at the river. Rain kept falling on the river, and the river was very turbid at the moment.
Li Tai explained: "Actually, March to May is always the flood season of the Yellow River."
Hearing this, Li Xiaogong asked curiously: "How did Qingque know about it?"
Li Tai chuckled, "I learned that when I was compiling topography and geography in the past two years. Old farmers in Guanzhong also know that March and May are the seasons when the Yellow River is most likely to flood. My brother-in-law's worries are not wrong. This It’s time to be on guard.”
"Will it drown my grapes?"
Zhang Yang looked up at the sky and frowned: "The occasional rainy day is actually good for grape and fruit planting. This year's flood season comes later than in previous years. I don't know how long the rain will last. If it rains, The short days are good for crops.”
"How many days will it rain?"
After listening to him for a while, Zhang Yang would feel distressed and said, "It depends on God's will. How do I know?"
"The grapes from my hundred acres of land..."
Zhang Yang looked up at the sky. His face was still a little cold from the rain. He could predict the rain, but he couldn't predict how long it would last unless he could go up to the sky and see the movement of the clouds.
The good thing is that Datang has weather forecasts. Zhang Yang plans to continue to study it. Crop cultivation is inseparable from weather changes.
It's a pity that this weather forecast cannot be regarded as a forecast at all. It can only be said to be a prediction of what may happen in the next one or two days based on the current situation.
There is a simple feeling of knowing the weather by looking at the clouds.
"Your Highness King Wei, what have Master Yan been busy with these days?"
Li Tai replied: "He is busy building the Taiye Pond. He said that he will build several palaces to the north of the Taiye Pond. If he wants to ask anything later, he won't say anything."
"It seems that your father still wants to build a palace in Longshouyuan."
"In the Qin Dynasty, there were Xingle Palace and Afang Palace, and in the Han Dynasty, there was Weiyang Palace. These palaces were all located on Longshou Plain. They were originally a place to build palaces. It is understandable that my father wanted to build a palace there."
Li Tai told the origin of Longshouyuan. He felt that Li Shimin would definitely build a palace on Longshouyuan.
In fact, the Daming Palace in the Tang Dynasty was indeed built in Longshouyuan, but the Daming Palace was not built during the Zhenguan Dynasty.
The environment in Guanzhong was once barren due to excessive cultivation, and the city of Chang'an was overpopulated and overwhelmed several times. Later, Luoyang, the eastern capital, was called the capital.
As the center of power left Chang'an, future construction also left the Northwest, leaving the Northwest to remain desolate.
Sometimes when I look at the lovely villagers here and the simple folk customs, I feel unwilling to do so.
Zhang Yang also considered building industry around Chang'an City and surrounding the entire Chang'an City with industry, so that the labor force in Chang'an City could be recruited and moved out.
For this reason, we can also share the pressure when Chang'an City is overwhelmed.
Looking at the vast Guanzhong Plain, Zhang Yang did not want this place to become as barren and desolate as it would be in a thousand years.
At least everything is possible from now on.
The construction of the Northwest requires huge resources and manpower.
Zhang Yang is thinking about integrating the labor force and labor resources in Guanzhong to distribute the labor force.
This is something that the DPRK and China have never taken into consideration.
This is Lishan’s plan for the future when it opens a technical institute. People need skills to become a better workforce.
Human resources are inseparable from production. If Lishan wants to master production, it must master human resources.
In short, there are only more than 200 people in Lishan alone, including the young adults and the elderly.
Such a small number of people is simply not enough. If you want to build the Great Northwest, you will need a huge amount of manpower and material resources.
Zhang Yang whispered: "I have a human skeleton."
Li Tai nodded, "I know that my brother-in-law's habits are already known to everyone."
Touching his chin, Zhang Yang smiled and said, "It seems that every move I make may become a joke."
"When Divine Doctor Sun took the human bones in front of everyone and said that he was taking them for his brother-in-law, the matter spread among the people. Naturally, people talked about what a demon did."
"Now that I have the skeleton, I want Master Yan to draw the skeleton. After the drawing is completed, the brother's bones can be buried. I will then make a human skeleton made of stone for easy preservation and display."
Li Tai was helpless, "Show? What's there to show for the bones of a dead man? People can't avoid it, let alone look at it."
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei does not know that there is actually a lot of knowledge in the human skeleton. I believe that as knowledge continues to advance, people will not shy away from looking directly at the human skeleton in order to pursue knowledge."
"Well, I asked Master Yan to arrange the painter. My brother-in-law will just send the skeleton."
"good."
"Also." Li Tai suddenly asked: "Brother-in-law, remember to put it in a box. This king... the princess is timid. She will faint when she sees human bones."
Li Xiaogong smiled heartily, "How could the Guanzhong girl be afraid of this? Back then, there were mountains of corpses and a sea of corpses. A skeleton was nothing more."
Li Tai bowed apologetically and said, "I made Uncle Wang laugh."
Since Li Tai married Yan Liben's daughter, he has been frantically collecting money from the Ministry of Industry, borrowing things from others, and then borrowing Yan Liben himself.
Li Tai let go of everything and had no intention of returning it to the Ministry of Works.
Lishan construction needs the support of the Ministry of Industry. To put it more simply, Yan Liben's conscience has begun to deteriorate day by day under the corruption of Li Tai.
Zhang Yang looked up at the sky, feeling a little guilty for Li Tai's immoral behavior.
I always feel that if this continues, Yan Liben's official career will be over.
As he was talking, someone came from a distance. When he saw it again, wasn't it Cen Wenwen?
After calculating the days, he came to Lishan Mountain at the beginning of the month. This rainy day was not suitable for travel, so why did he come again.
Cen Wenwen was an acquaintance in the village, but now the entrance to the village was under martial law. Anyone who could enter the village had to be brought in by the soldiers at the entrance.
Now Cen Wenwen was accompanied by three or two army sergeants.
Lishan produces firearms, and these soldiers surrounded the village, making it difficult for strangers to get close to Lishan.
This is how Cen Wenwen was brought, more like being escorted.
When Cen Wenwen came, he was sure to talk about the affairs of the DPRK. Li Xiaogong and Li Tai consciously retreated not far away, talking to themselves.
Zhang Yang was still looking at the water level of the Wei River, then picked up a bamboo pole and fixed it near the shore, and then tied a hemp rope to mark it according to the current water level.
Cen Wenwen added: "The Guanzhong river flooded several times overnight. While people were still sleeping, the fields were already flooded."
"Brother Wenwen means that the water level is rising very fast. Even if I mark it now, it will be useless. If it floods, there is no way to stop it."
Cen Wenwen added: "Master Yan built several dams in the upper reaches to prevent the fields from being submerged during the flood season."
Zhang Yang folded his hands and said melancholy: "The water and soil in Guanzhong are like this. Droughts and floods are unpredictable. When there is a drought, there won't be a drop of rain for three or two months. When there is a flood, it is often out of control."
Cen Wenwen added: "If the Supreme Emperor had not raised troops in Jinyang and captured the city of Chang'an, Chang'an would not have been established as the capital. Perhaps the capital would have been rebuilt in Luoyang."
"Even Brother Wenwen thinks that the water and soil in Guanzhong has reached the point of moving the capital, so why did he reject my plan to build a canal?"
Cen Wenwen explained: “The rejection was not the decision of the lower official alone.”
Zhang Yang said sadly: "Every effort has been made to obstruct my work at Taifu Temple. Cen Wenwen even said that he was not harming me."
"The county magistrate wants to frame a subordinate. The matter was discussed between the DPRK and the Central Government. The rejection was because Zhao Guogong advocated cherishing the power of the people. The matter will be rejected only after the Prime Minister submits it to His Majesty."
Zhang Yang sat on the bank of the river with his hands folded, looking in the direction of Chang'an City, "Sure enough, it is his eldest grandson, Old Fox, who is blocking me. Brother Wenwen has done me a lot of harm."
He was tired and didn't want to explain. No matter what, it was me who harmed him. Cen Wenwen lowered his head helplessly and said, "I came to Lishan to convey His Majesty's words."
"It turns out that I came here for official business. I hope Wen Wen can come to Changli Mountain to have a drink with me because of our friendship."
"After I get down from office, I'll come and have a drink with the magistrate."
Zhang Yang walked along the Wei River and said: "I have always thought that Brother Wenwen is a person who understands the general situation, so I thought it would be beneficial to have a good relationship with Wenwen, but what about now? Brother Wenwen said that he would drink with me next time. And again and again, and again and again."
"Your Majesty..."
"Oh, don't say anything false."
Being insulted to one's character is a very serious matter. To the ancients, character represents credibility and the foundation of a person.
Therefore, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and justice are very important to people. Once your personality is gone, you will be despised by thousands of people.
At least in the Tang Dynasty, where the folk customs were strong and strong, literati had always been a staunch generation.
Zhang Yang whispered: "I heard that Zhao Guogong and Zheng Gong are very good at fighting, and they often get the upper hand in fights in the Tai Chi Hall?"
"Well, it's true."
Cen Wenwen stopped and said loudly: "The lower official regards the county marquis as a friend, and he is one of the few friends."
"Yeah?"
"certainly!"
"Okay, give me all of Duke Zhao's connections, including the people in the court who help Duke Zhao speak, make a list and send it to Lishan."
"Okay..." Cen Wenwen stopped mid-sentence, wanting to slap himself.
I almost fell into his trap and got myself involved while talking.
Zhang Yang continued: "Why did brother Wenwen come to see me this time?"
I was very tired talking to the county magistrate. I was so tired that I almost forgot what I came to Lishan for. I listened to the sound of rain falling on the bamboo hat and the raindrops on the raincoat.
After thinking for a moment, he remembered and explained: "His Majesty had something to send to his subordinates, saying that Lishan's security and pension plan should be fulfilled as promised."
"Also, the county prince married a princess, who is your majesty's relative. Over the years, your majesty has been emphasizing that the clan should be diligent, thrifty and upright, and should not be dissolute."
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "I am very diligent and thrifty, and very upright."
"But the county prince has collected a skeleton. Your Majesty is worried about this. Everyone has a hobby, which is nothing. Just like Mr. Zheng loves vinegar and cinnamon. Some habits are acceptable to people, but the bones of dead people are not suitable."
Zhang Yang waved his hand and said: "You misunderstood, I did it for knowledge."
"Hobbies are just hobbies. There is no need for the county prince to explain, and explanations are useless. Your Majesty means that the county prince should bury the bones as soon as possible to eliminate the suspicion of Lishan among the people."
The emperor was not very good, but he was very strict with his relatives outside the clan.
Li Daozong, the only one in the clan with military power, has now become a little sheep.
In terms of military power, the clan and relatives must not be touched.
"Then did he read the advice I gave to His Majesty?"
Cen Wenwen put away the raincoat on his shoulders and looked at the rain in the sky. "Your Majesty is very satisfied with Lishan's tax policy. If the county prince has more policies to benefit the country in the future, you can tell him directly. Now the Prime Minister plans Let the county marquis serve as a secretary and a young eunuch."
The rainy day was a little cooler, and the wind felt cool on his body. Zhang Yang put his hands in his hands, frowned, and looked puzzled, "The text is the secretary supervising the superior officer?"
Cen Wenwen smiled and nodded, "Yes."
The two of them were about the same age, and suddenly found themselves becoming his second-in-command. Zhang Yang asked again: "If I become the secretary to the young prisoner, wouldn't I become an officer under you?"
Cen Wenwen smiled heartily, stroking his short beard and said, "Just kidding, the County Marquis is obviously the Secretary and Young Supervisor, and he is still the Minister of Zhongshu at the same level as the lower officials."
"You are obviously very happy, you are obviously very proud, you are smiling so happily."
"If the County Marquis serves as Secretary and Shaojian, he will be able to obtain more classics over the years, which will be beneficial to Taifu Temple in accessing classics and archives. Moreover, the County Marquis can also record the farming and water and soil conditions in various places, so that he can obtain When we go to the DPRK to discuss it, the county prince wants to build a canal in Guanzhong, so it is not impossible."
"The prime minister made such arrangements because he saw that the county prince has such talents. To say that the county prince's governance ability is not as good as Di Zhisun in the Hexi Corridor, nor as good as Shangguan Yi, right?"
Zhang Yang was silent and did not deny it.
He continued: "But there is one skill among the county princes, and the house minister is the most important. The county prince can find patterns in the complicated files, so that he can make arrangements in advance based on the traces, right?"
The ability to classify information and various data collections that are valued by the DPRK is indispensable in work. In the future, it will be a skill that must be mastered in almost all walks of life and in various positions to make reports and progress... .
This ability has actually been used before the Tang Dynasty and as early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, but the enumeration of conditions, diagrams or conversions are not as straightforward as what I did.
"No wonder General Yu Chigong said that people like me should not be civil servants. You civil servants are really disgusting."
"The county magistrate should not be surprised. The Fang Xiang is in charge of Zhongshu Province. He should know people and make good use of them. The talents that each official is good at should be put in the position where they should be used."
Zhang Yang showed a hint of pain and said again: "Brother Wenwen, are we in conflict with each other?"
"Why did the county prince say this?"
"Every time you come here, something bad will happen."
Cen Wenwen smiled unsurprisingly, "I will continue to come to Lishan after I leave the official position."
"Since there's nothing else, please ask Brother Wen to come back."
"In the next two days, a lot of files will be sent from the DPRK. They are all taxes from various places in Guanzhong. I hope the county magistrate can sort them out."
It’s the first day of the month! Asking for a monthly ticket! Asking for a monthly ticket! Asking for a monthly ticket!
It will also be updated normally during holidays.
Happy National Day everyone! ! !
