Everyone was silent and thinking. In the pot near the door, the wild mountain tea that had just caught fire before the discussion was boiling.
The method of making tea is like making a boil when the fish eyes make a faint sound. At that time, all the officials in the room were discussing the white scroll sent by Jiang Feng.
The edge of the pot was like spring water, and it was boiling for the second time. At this time, everyone in the room was already deep in thought. Cao Zhi poured tea into the pot and boiled it. The mountain spring water in the pot gradually boiled, as if the officials were getting more and more nervous.
After a brief period of tranquility, there were rising waves and three boils.
Ying Zhi coughed lightly and said with a smile, "Come on, Ding Yicao, share the tea with everyone, let's drink and chat!"
The disciples said that Cao Ding Xinshan was Ying Zhi's favorite disciple. This boy was born with a pair of peach blossom eyes, but his face was dark and thin. When we first met him, he gave people a feeling of excessive indulgence. However, this man was Ying Zhi's most capable general. Under Ying Zhi's command, two brothers, Ding Xinshan and Ding Xinchuan, made suggestions for Ying Zhi and solved many problems.
Ding Xinshan, who had been sitting quietly on the sidelines without saying a word, smiled and began to distribute tea to the officials after receiving the order.
At a certain moment, the aroma of tea filled the room and the light fragrance of incense suddenly filled the room. After a cup of tea, I felt clear and clear.
"You have to eat, you have to poop, and this flood problem has to be cured." Ying Zhi Sanjiang rolled his eyes and spoke first, seeing him saying categorically, "The people cannot be bullied, and it is not easy for officials to do their job. Since you and I are from the same county, Parents, this is not the time to worry about gains and losses, you must put aside your prejudices and eradicate this flood before the first snowfall."
"This is not only self-rescue, but also rescuing others! As the governor of this county puts it, if Father Lingyuan hugs Bing Tuo Tuo Mao Dong, without Jiangzhou Mu's conviction, all the officials below me and more than 400 shi will pack up and leave. Everyone , understandable?”
It should be known that the mustache was blown and the broom eyebrows were raised. Although it was funny, no one dared to laugh, because they could faintly hear the rustling of soldiers and horses outside the court. As long as someone dared to make trouble at this moment, then he would always be there. Mr. Ying, who is gentle and gentle and advocates gentle handling of disputes and differences, may be killed.
"No!" All the officials responded in unison.
Ying Zhi nodded with satisfaction and said in a deep voice, "Okay, let's discuss how to capture this water dragon that is causing harm to Huaxing."
"Sir, didn't the general manager leave all the canal repair work to Mr. Liu? Let him deal with the flood, and that's it!"
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Guo Xiu's face, and the faces of the officials showed disbelief.
Liu Desheng was indeed responsible for building the canal, but he was only responsible. Those who guided Liu Desheng to build the canal and deal with the floods were the county magistrate and officials of the county magistrate's office. After the canal was repaired, they were also the ones who asked the court for a reward to Liu Desheng. It was the county governor Ying Zhi. Guo Xiu's words were suspected of instigating Ying Zhi to condone Liu Desheng's overstep of authority.
Therefore, the words just now, coming from the mouth of a high-ranking official in the county, are really inappropriate.
Guo Xiu, who was in charge of the task, was also a veteran in the workplace. As soon as he opened his mouth, he soon felt that his words were inappropriate, so he immediately stood up and apologized.
"Although the canal repair work has been entrusted to Liu Desheng, I estimate that Liu Desheng will come to ask for advice within a few days."
The disciples discussed that Cao Ding Xinshan had cooked another pot of tea. As the tea gradually boiled, he also started chatting.
"Although the two brothers Ruisheng and Desheng are well-read in poetry and literature, they are devoted to the art of domineering and conspiracy. They are like Guo Kai of Zhao State and Zhao Gao of Qin State. Let us recall carefully that in the past few years, except for the two brothers, You are fighting over each other, consuming family resources, and doing nothing beneficial to the family. Whether it is a large country or a small family, as long as it is caught in endless internal strife, it will inevitably lose its vitality, and in the end it will inevitably die."
After hearing this, the two or three pro-Liu officials headed by Cao Huangyan, a subordinate of the disciple Cao Huangyan, glanced at them. They felt a little uncomfortable, but they were faced with a great difficulty and it was difficult for them to say anything.
"So, we still need to come up with a detailed and reliable method before it can be considered safe."
After saying that, Ding Xinshan went to play with his pot of wild camellia tea.
"Sir, I will not talk about why the water gate broke. I will only discuss the matter. The Yellow River dives into the extreme peak of Kunlun and emerges from the rocky mountains. It has many twists and turns and fierce water. It is the first hanging river on the earth. It has broken in ancient times and modern times. There are too many to count. The Linghe Canal that currently exists in our Huaxing County runs from southwest to northeast, turns around the Lingyuan Mountains, and goes straight to the Bohai Sea. Emperor Shenwu allocated funds to build it sixty years ago. It is still more than sixty years old. Although we have maintained it properly, it is still. There is no way to stop the dike body from becoming thinner and softer. Several attempts at sealing failed, either due to the overbearing water or loose soil. According to my official opinion, we should inform the upstream counties to find a dry land, break the dike and divert the flow to relieve the problem. According to the water situation, we will recruit villagers, connect the three big families of Liu, Huang, and Zhao, assemble county soldiers, and work together to dredge the river with ladles and rebuild the sluices. We will be able to capture the dragon and control the water and restore peace to Huaxing."
Another reporter, Huang Yuan, finished speaking what was on his mind in one breath, his fat face turned red from suppressing it.
The disciples commented that although Cao Huangyan was close to the Liu family of Lingyuan, he was not a fool. After hearing Huang Yuan's suggestion, he immediately rejected it, "I think this method is unreasonable. Open a dike upstream to release water? Let's not say that there is no dry land on the edge of the Yellow River. Yes, which family's fields can be flooded by you? Which of the nine counties in Quzhou is so easy to talk to? I'm afraid no one will agree to this kind of thing that is no good to the superior and completely wrong to the inferior."
As Cao Huangyan opened his mouth to discuss matters among his subordinates, officials with different positions began to argue with each other.
Huang Yan, who was close to Liu, put forward his unique opinion. When he saw him stand up and hold up his hands, he said to his correspondent, "Sir, Huang's humble opinion is that blocking is worse than sparing, but this sparse method is worthy of discussion."
Ying Zhi glanced at Huang Yan intently and said slowly, "Huang Yicao, what do you have in mind?"
Huang Yan began to talk eloquently, "Everyone, think about it, why is Huaxing the only one affected by this flood? It's just because the terrain of Huaxing County is high in the west and low in the east, high in the south and low in the north, plus the Lingyuan Mountains to the north, the Huaxing County is wrapped up like a Since ancient times, the water has flowed downwards, so when the embankment bursts, it will naturally flood our Huaxing area, leaving other counties unharmed."
Huang Yan seemed to be prepared. He paused and took out a Huaxing landscape map from his arms. After unfolding it, he continued, "Look, everyone, just because the water is low but not in a hurry, we can just do something big." article."
The officials in the room all turned their attention to the Huaxing Landscape Map.
Huang Yan pointed to a prominent position in the picture and said loudly, "After the Huaxing section of the Hongqu canal was built at the foot of Lingyuan Mountain, it went straight west to Yunzhong County, Muzhou. At this time, the Huaxing section of the Hongqu Canal coincided with the Linghe Canal in our Huaxing County. Parallel, and this breach is the corner in front of the parallel, only seven miles away from Lingyuan City."
After saying that, Huang Yan looked at the officials with a half-smile, calling them monks, and couldn't figure them out.
"Ouch! My brother Huang, please serve the food quickly. I can't hold it in anymore!"
The county guard chief Kong Wu, who was originally a warrior, was confused by this analysis. He was holding his stomach and looking like he was in need of urination.
Everyone laughed unkindly!
...
Speaking of this, I want to talk about the officials of the county governor's office for the purpose of writing.
The newly revised "Han Code" clearly regulates the officials and staff of the county magistrate's office. "Han Code: Governing Rules" once said: The county magistrate's office is equipped with two records of affairs, one of memorials, one of Shaofu's history, and one of subordinates. There are ten historians of Cao Cao, twenty assistants under the door, and twenty clerks under the door; Hucaobu, Shuicaobu, Tiancaobu, Shicaobu, Bicaobu, Cangcaobu, Jincaobu, Jicaobu, and Shi Peng, Bing Cao Pup, Wei Cao Pup, Thief Cao Peng, Sai Cao Peng, Thieves Capture Peng, Jue Cao Peng, Ci Cao Peng, Du You Peng, Fa Cao Peng, Cao Cao Peng, Xue Guan Peng, Jun Peng Jiu Jiu, Xue Cao Peng There are two each for the Confucian Classics, Literature and History, Medical Cao, and County Guard Chiefs; and there are six County Guard Lieutenants. All county governors and governors should follow this, and every hair must be investigated.
These people include officials and officials, which will be discussed in detail later. Among them, the officials of the county governor's office who have more than 500 shi are the Ji Shi Peng, Zhao Shi Peng, Shaofu, Menxia Cao and the county guard chief, adding up to a total of ten to six.
In order to strengthen the centralization of power and prevent dictatorship, the former Han Dynasty Prime Minister Zhuge Liang set the rule that "officials above five hundred shi shall be appointed by the state pastor". In other words, the county governor did not have the power to appoint these county officials. The management power of important officials of the county governor's office, such as the governor's office and the governor's office, does not have the power of appointment, removal or adjustment.
And this also became the reason why officials such as Huang Yan felt confident in front of the county governor.
...
Back to the main story, outside the side room, the clear water of the Linghe River gradually reflected the afterglow of the setting sun. In the side room, with the tacit consent of Ying Zhi, the county guard chief Kong Wu stood at the door and peed, and the officials began to discuss matters again.
As the saying goes, "Everything done by a group of people will be accomplished. If a group of people works together, everything will be accomplished."
With the collective efforts of everyone, the matter of repairing the canal and controlling floods gradually gained some insights, and Ying Zhi's face began to gradually change from gloomy to sunny.
"Haha, come here, tell the kitchen to light a fire. Let's discuss it while eating. How can I let my beloved generals talk when they are hungry!" Ying Zhi stood at the door and greeted loudly, and a county soldier left in response.
Returning to the house, Ying Zhi pursed his mustache, reached for the landscape map, and said, "I was a little anxious before and didn't think about it carefully. Come on, Huang Yicao, I'll hold the map, and you can make plans!"
"Oh! This can't be done, it can't be done! How can I let you do it yourself?"
Huang Yan was flattered and hurriedly stepped forward to grab the picture. Seeing this, the two brothers Ding Xinchuan and Ding Xinshan took over the two corners of the picture, one on the left and the other on the right, cleverly resolving the awkwardness between the two.
This move moved Huang Yan quite a bit. He nodded to Ying Zhi and then continued, "Colleagues, a few days ago, Huang went to the Lingyuan Mountains to explore. On both sides of the mountain road trampled by our people, there were low valleys. There are countless gullies, deep ditches and dark caves. It is not a problem to accommodate the flow of water for several days. The reason why the flood did not harm the Lingyuan Mountains is because the low and wide Laotou Mountain blocks the flow of water."
Everyone is a little enlightened. Huang Yan is planning to divert the floods eastward and divert all the floods flooding Huaxing County into the Lingyuan Mountains!
Huang Yan continued, "In my opinion, it is better to gather manpower and dig a long ditch on the west side of Laotou Mountain to divert the river water into the Lingyuan Mountains. We will take this opportunity to repair the sluice with all our strength. As the water flow weakens, the difficulty of repairing the sluice will be greatly reduced! "
"This method is feasible!" Kong Wu, who was five big and three thick, felt that these words sounded pleasant to his ears, so he was the first to reply.
"This plan works!" "Well, what a good idea!"...
After careful consideration, some officials began to respond directly to Huangyan's water control methods.
It seems that the problem is solved in just seconds.
