Chapter 102: Connecting water, breaking mountains and breaking dragon veins
Zhu Yuanzhang made up his mind and led a group of people into the mountain.
A historical detail that many people don’t know. That is, Fushun Coal Mine has been mined in the Ming Dynasty. After all, it is an open-pit coal mine and easy to dig. But in the Qing Dynasty, it was banned. the reason is simple. The Qing court felt that digging holes here would affect the dragon veins and shake the feng shui.
Therefore it is prohibited.
Of course, the Northeast is also banned at the same time. This is the so-called wicker edge.
As the Manchu rule faltered. Many closed lands and hunting grounds in the Northeast have been released. However, the area centered on the San Tombs outside the Pass has not been released. This includes Fushun Coal Mine. The reason why the Fushun Coal Mine is inseparable from Japan is because after the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese did not urinate against the Manchurian ban, and the Fushun Coal Mine was excavated.
From this perspective, Zhu Yuanzhang came to Fushun Coal Mine as an excuse to inspect Dragon Vein. It's indeed very suitable.
The group of people arrived at the highest mountain nearby.
He Xi stood aside.
Several old Taoist priests whispered for a long time. Finally, a white-haired old Taoist priest said: "Your Majesty, I heard about Mr. Liu's method of numerology before. It is unparalleled in the world. I didn't believe it before. But now I believe it. Your Majesty, please see, the mountain winds from here." It's the four elephants that guard it. But among the four elephants, the white tiger is the most respected. This dragon vein kills too much. But there are three rivers, which are merged into each other, which is the situation of the return of the three waters. These twelve peaks also have the twelve Yuan Chen The state. I am afraid it can flourish for twelve generations. This peak is the sixth peak and the highest peak. From then on, it gradually falls into the plains and the dragon veins will be exhausted. But now it is still in the state of lurking in the abyss. I am afraid, there is nothing better than this in the world. The situation of Feng Shui. If you can see this situation, you will die without regrets."
He Xi didn't listen too carefully at all.
I also want to understand that this Mr. Liu must be Liu Bowen.
He Xi secretly whispered in her heart. I feel that Zhu Yuanzhang really tried his best to use Liu Bowen's posthumous name. Anyway, there is no proof of death.
However, it doesn’t mean that there is no so-called dragon vein here, nor does it mean that there is no so-called dragon vein here. It’s too simple. Later generations of Manchu and Qing emperors were buried here. It means that this must be a good place for exploration. If the feng shui here is not good, I will not be buried here.
But Zhu Yuanzhang listened very seriously. He turned around and asked He Xi. Said: "Who is the sixth Tartar?"
Nowadays, Tatar is more often used to refer to Mongolians. This sentence makes others confused. But after He Xi heard this, his heart moved and he secretly made a calculation. But it was Qianlong. The Qianlong dynasty was at its peak. There seem to be exactly twelve emperors in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
For a moment, He Xi wondered if it was a coincidence.
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Why is there no better Feng Shui bureau in the world than this one?"
The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know. Among the three tomb robbers, there is a group that claims to be dedicated to finding gold holes. They are looking for tombs according to Feng Shui techniques. Because for thousands of years, on the land of China, As long as it is a good Feng Shui treasure land, people have buried it. Some even dug up the graves of their predecessors in order to seize the Feng Shui land. This is the case for burying their ancestors in Feng Shui treasure land. Not to mention. Dragon Vein. It has been long ago. Used. Especially in the north. Even more so. The mountains in the south are too delicate. It is difficult to hide the power of the dragon, but here, Changbai Mountain is in the north, branching off a vein to the east, and another vein to the south, where the three mountains converge. The land. This is a situation where the dragon holds the pearl. No one who is not blind can't see this situation. It's just that in these years, no one has really traveled far outside the customs to come here to explore. "
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "How to break it?"
The old Taoist priest's face turned slightly sad after hearing this. He knew that he was going to die here today.
Dragon veins are bred by heaven and earth, and breaking the dragon veins will be punished by heaven. Even a bad one. To extend to future generations. Therefore, as a last resort, that Feng Shui master. Nor willing to do so. But he also understood that the Ming Dynasty was based in the south. It is impossible to move the capital here, so the dragon vein here must be broken.
He had thought about this situation before he came.
The old Taoist priest said, "The best way to break the dragon's veins is to vent the energy, and the wind will stop when it meets the water. Emperor Qin vented the energy of Jinling by opening the Qinhuai River. The same method is used today. Just build a river here. It's just that , the terrain here is unfavorable, and it takes a lot of effort to build the river. Once the earth dragon turns over, it is easy to cut off the water flow. Therefore, it can only be blocked for a while------"
When the old Taoist priest said this, he suddenly saw something, but he refused to talk about it.
Zhu Yuanzhang followed the old Taoist priest's gaze and looked from a distance. Sure enough, dozens of miles away, he could still see the deep traces left by the Fushun coal mine excavation.
Zhu Yuanzhang understood immediately and said, "What if we expand the Fushun coal mine by ten times?"
The old Taoist priest said: "Your Majesty, if this happens, this place will definitely become a barren land. Whoever does this will definitely think about future generations. Is this going to end the family?"
He Xi felt secretly ashamed. Dare not say anything more.
What are the consequences of this extensive excavation method? He Xi said he didn't know, but he didn't believe it himself. However, he felt ashamed inside. I just think about it occasionally in the dead of night.
the reason is simple. There was simply no way he could make it happen.
Many things can only be like this at the beginning.
It's just that he also knows the dangers of this. Huge mines are scars on the earth. But people always have to live first, then talk about other things. Compared to the scars on earth. He wants more people to live.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Then it's decided. King Yan."
King Yan said: "My son and minister are here."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Follow the masters and plan a river course. And call the Liaodong troops to do it immediately. Hurry."
King Yan said: "Yes." After saying that, he left.
Zhu Yuanzhang stopped King Yan and said, "Remember to keep it secret."
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be telling it to King Yan. But his eyes fell on these old Taoist priests. Each of these Taoist priests was as silent as death. They didn't resist this situation. Even they couldn't ask for it.
Because in their opinion, the backlash of breaking the dragon vein would be too great. And Zhu Yuanzhang killed people and silenced them. It is equivalent to Zhu Yuanzhang also bearing the backlash. It will not harm future generations.
King Yan understood it and said, "Yes."
The group immediately went down. On this mountain peak, only Zhu Yuanzhang and He Xi were left. The nearest guard was a hundred or two hundred meters away. He could only watch the two of them from a distance, but could not hear what they were saying.
Originally, this secret would not be known to too many people. That's Zhu Yuanzhang, King Yan, He Xi, and a few guards. These Feng Shui masters know. These people all went to work with King Yan. Naturally, only these two people were left.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I know you don't believe this. In fact, I don't believe it too much, but there are all kinds of mysterious things in the world that cannot be explained. It is better to believe that they exist than to believe that they do not exist. Doing more means nothing. It is better than regretting it in the future. .”
He Xi said: "I understand. Take precautions before they happen."
He Xi knows nothing. He just couldn't slap Zhu Yuanzhang in the face on the spot. At this time, He Xichu said what else could he say. Is it possible to refute Zhu Yuanzhang and say that he is a fool because he feels that his neck is too hard and needs a steel knife to massage it?
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "From now on, Fushun Coal Mine, like Taiping Iron Works, will be under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry. After I go back, I will first allocate one hundred thousand taels to expand it. Expand as much as possible. You don't mean that there is coal here, there must be Just look for it carefully, like these mountain peaks. Do you understand?"
He Xi said: "I understand. In fact, the quality of the rocks here is good. Many places in Liaodong also need bluestone reinforcement. I have also studied cement before. When using cement, a large amount of stones are also needed."
Since Zhu Yuanzhang looked at several mountains, he was so displeased. He Xi could only follow his wish and prepare to level these mountains forcefully. Although it is not very economical to mine stone here. But under the guidance of Zhu Yuanzhang's emotions, there is no economic diseconomy.
The most important thing is to make Zhu Yuanzhang feel at ease.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "That's good. I will fund the cement project with one hundred thousand taels, and we must do it well. The sooner the better."
He Xi said: "I will definitely work hard."
