Chapter Forty-Nine: The Musician's Private Post

readx;? Outside the post, by the broken bridge. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Dragonflies sometimes dot and sometimes fly on the surface of the river.

It's not so much about flying as it is about gliding by.

The wingtips of dragonflies are only a millimeter above the water.

On the shore, purple calamus grows freely. On the tips of the leaves of the calamus, there are also a few dragonflies.

The old farmer who is good at farming, according to legend, has a proverb: dragonflies fly low on the banks of rivers and lakes, and there is about to rain in front of them.

I'm afraid, another heavy rain.

Pang Ji slandered in his heart.

Lexin brought him not an official post, but a private post.

Built on the riverside, this private post is three stories high, and although it is not magnificent, it is clean and tidy.

The strangest thing is the river.

Obviously, the east and west roads of the river are seriously flooded, and this small section of the river road is actually unprosperous and orderly.

After a closer look, it was found that in the place where the rapids were turbulent, there was a built offshore in the middle, which resembled a goose egg, and a section of the rapids on its surface was like a fish's mouth.

The embankment "divides the upstream river into two, and flows down the river in the south, and flows into a vacancy shaped like a bottle mouth in the north, and the rapids hit and swirl in the huge "bottle mouth", and the water gradually slows down, and flows to the riverbank, which is already a continuous stream.

At the tail of the embankment, against the "bottle mouth", there is a spillway for dividing the flood, and there is a bend in front of the spillway, and the river forms a circulation.

Pang Ji thought carefully for a while, and found that if the river exceeded the top of the weir, the mud and rocks carried by the flood would flow into the south, so that the waterway to the north and the "bottle mouth" would not be silted.

Even better, the embankment is built with pebbles in bamboo cages, so that when the water level in the south is too high, the flood water flows into the south through the flat trough and overflows the embankment, so that the amount of water entering the "bottle mouth" is not too large.

At the same time, the flow of water that flows into the south from the embankment creates a swimming vortex, and sediment and even boulders are thrown over the embankment, thus reducing the deposition of sediment around the "bottle mouth".

He couldn't help but be amazed, sighed and asked, "Who wrote this embankment?"

Le Xintou said without replying: "It was conceived by my father." ”

Is An Guohou?

Pang Ji was a little surprised.

An Guohou Le Jin has always been mysterious, I heard that when Taizu was still alive, he also served as an official in the imperial court, but soon he was suspended, and in recent years, he has lived in a simple place.

I never thought that he would have such a wonderful idea.

has this talent, but it is not known to the world, let alone used by the imperial court. Pang Ji couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart.

He asked again, "What about this private ......?"

Lexin said bluntly: "It's also my family's industry." ”

"Your family's property!"

Pang Ji was shocked.

Siyuan County, the east and west roads of this river, although it is an important town with water and land, but perennial floods, sparse population, in the eyes of others is just a barren field, Lejia actually has a private post here!

Pang Ji is such a smart and sensitive person, he drew inferences from one another, and quickly figured out the key points: "All the important places of the soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty, and your Hou Mansion has set up a post station?"

Lexin smiled and nodded, since he wanted to recruit Pang Ji, he didn't plan to hide his strength from Pang Ji.

Pang Ji gasped, and his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

Although the Marquis of Anguo Mansion is rich in the capital, but the people are thin, Le Jin is neither in the court, nor in charge of the army, although Le Xin has an official position, but he is not in a heavy position. In the eyes of the world, Lejia is more like a home of businessmen.

They have set up private posts in every dangerous place!

If Lexin was an ordinary gentleman, then it would be fine, but he is a person who is scheming and decisive, wise and brave.

Pang Ji flashed a bad thought - if he had a disobedient heart......

"There shouldn't be a private army in the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion, right?"

He blurted out.

Le Xin seemed to see through what he was thinking, and sneered: "Whether there is or not, Le is only for the prince's use." ”

This is the default.

Pang Jifang let go of the big stone in his heart, and felt more relieved.

Although the prince is the son of the queen, the queen's maiden family is not a military general, but a civil official, and what is even more worrying is that the prince has never been married.

However, the third prince Chai You married the daughter of his relative Fu family, and the fifth prince Chai Tong was the son of Concubine Cao Xian, and his maiden family was the granddaughter of the famous general Cao Bin.

Originally, the civil officials had secretly criticized that the official family set up Chai Yi as the crown prince, but it was just to be a target, and the real prince was either the third prince or the fifth prince.

Now that he has seen the strength of the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion with his own eyes, Pang Ji is at ease with the prince.

There is Lexin, there is the Marquis of Anguo's mansion, and the prince's position as the prince is nine out of ten, and the victory is in hand.

……

Over there, Lexin led Pang into the post station, but saw seven or eight people sitting in crowned robes, shoes, and silk and satin.

Lexin walked to the head of the seat, sat down, and beckoned, "How are you shopkeepers?"

Everyone looked at Lexin's appearance that half of his body and half of his face were covered with blood, and no one was surprised.

Strange, weird.

Pang Ji also found a place next to him and sat down and watched the changes.

An old man at the head replied: "Tuo Shizi Hongfu has been good lately. ”

Lexin did not introduce Pang Ji, but asked the old man directly: "Shopkeeper Jing, have you decided?"

The old man smiled and clapped his hands.

At this time, ten servants carried out five boxes from the inner room, and with a wave of the old man's sleeves, the servants opened the lid neatly.

Gold, it's gold.

Golden and shiny.

Sturdy five boxes of gold.

Rao is a wealthy family in Pang's family, and it is the first time in his life that he has seen so much gold.
