After the opening of the Yaya, there was a member of the Ministry of Works, Wai Lang, who led a group of people to rebuild three courtyards for the Yun family, and Lu Qingqing had even designed the appearance and waited for the Ministry of Engineering to build it.

As a result, Yun Er strongly asked him to design this matter, and showed his drawings to his sister-in-law, saying that it would be enough to build it like this.

"No!" Lu Qingqing glanced at the drawings and became angry, if it is to repair the house, it will be done no matter what, but to build a river at home, this is too much, who has a zigzag river in the yard? What's more, the river is still full of mud!

"Xiao Yue is obedient, building such a river is a matter of the Ministry of Engineering, we don't repair it at home, these three courtyards in the south are prepared for you by my sister-in-law, and you will be able to marry in two years, my sister-in-law plans to make this a separate courtyard, and you will live here when you get married in the future, and you like to live with your eldest brother and sister-in-law, just like that, if you don't like it, you can reopen the door, as long as you build a wall here, you will have your own world, how good, it is difficult for Tokyo City to find such a good place."

Yun Er rolled his eyes and said: "There's no need, anyway, I'm going to marry bacon in the future, I don't pay attention to where I live, our Yellow River survey has entered the experimental stage, and building a simulated river here is far more important than building a house." ”

Lu Qingqing had no choice but to ask her husband who was reading books and pretending to be stupid: "Husband, Xiaoyue is a child's nature, you don't care, the second master of the Yun family will not have a good house to marry in the future, look at how people poke your backbone, people will not say that it is the second master's idea at that time, but will only say that you are too mean to be a big brother." ”

Yun Da helplessly took away the book in front of him and said to Yun Er with a smile: "Your sister-in-law is right, eldest brother, sister-in-law's task is to take care of you, if you like to build models, then go to Zhuangzi to build them." It's a big place, you can fix it as much as you want, forget it at home! Get an ugly river out. It's really not like words, and it's not economical. ”

Yun Er shook his head and said, "Big brother, you don't know anything. The reason why I want to build this model in my home is to show it to everyone, especially the officials in the court, not everyone is vigilant enough about the Yellow River, and they must objectively and realistically put the possible dangers of the Yellow River in front of them, only in this way can they pay attention to it.

It is better to put it on Zhuangzi, but it is inconvenient. Mr. Peng Li is already old and can't stand the bumps, and I still need to build a lot of organs here, it is inconvenient to Zhuangzi, and I don't want to stay away from my eldest brother and sister-in-law, because my main energy in the future will definitely be invested in this. ”

Yun Da heard his younger brother say this, sat up straight and looked at him and said, "Have you found the goal you are striving for?" Is this the river? ”

Yun Er nodded and said, "Yes, big brother, I've thought about it for a long time, and I just wanted to be a rice worm at the earliest." I hid under your wing and ate and drank all my life, and then after a few days of being a gentleman, I realized how boring it was, so I wanted to find something to do. It turned out that it was more challenging to train the Yellow River, so that's it. ”

Seeing that what his younger brother said about Chen Ken, it didn't seem to be a whim, Yun Da said to Lu Qingqing: "Then let him fix it, a few yards are nothing, the neighbor on the left of our house is about to be unlucky, you just stare at a little and buy his house." ”

Lu Qingqing saw that her husband had already made a decision, so she naturally didn't insist, and heard her husband say that the neighbor on the left was going to be unlucky. couldn't help but be curious, sat down next to Yun Da and said, "What happened to Gao Jixun from the Loyal Army?" His house is also a gatekeeper. It is a descendant of my god Gao Huaide, and I heard that several children in the family are still competitive. How can it be unlucky? ”

Yun Da asked Yun Er to sit in front of him and said: "The Gao family actually didn't make a mistake, but unlucky is unlucky There are too many children in his family, Gao Jixun has eleven brothers in his generation, and the famous ones are Jixun, Jixuan, Jizhong, Jimi, Jihe, Jilong, Jiyuan, and there are five more who are not famous, do you think, eleven people have focused on reproducing children and grandchildren for fifty years, what do you say is the population of their family?"

The Cao family is out of the mallet, the Shi family is out of fools, the Pan family and the Wang family are changing their courts, preparing to turn around to the scribes, which are all ways to protect themselves. If they plan to serve the Great Song Dynasty, it is okay to kill more than a dozen sons and nephews, the emperor will at least be grateful for his family's loyalty, but as long as their family encounters a war, they will shrink back, although there are factors that dare not show off in it, but the idea of preserving strength is too straightforward, so yesterday His Majesty asked me and Di Gong to redraw a list of officers of the Loyal Army, and asked us to arrange the Loyal Army there for review, and finally selected Hebei.

Hehe, the army there has just been reorganized by Han Qi, and it is very well prepared, it can be regarded as an army that can fight, and His Majesty has chosen there, which means that he is going to attack the Gao family.

Other people only pay attention to the vacancy left by the Gao family, my family only needs the three courtyards of the Gao family, so not only do we stand in line, but we are not deeply offended by the Gao family, and the people in the army will not think that we have taken refuge in the civilian officials, which is a good way. ”

Lu Qingqing nodded in understanding, but Yun Er frowned and said, "Is this also a sin?" ”

Yun Da nodded, picked up the book again, and said, "Let your sister-in-law tell you about the doorway here, she has a clear door." ”

Lu Qingqing brought a fruit plate to the two brothers, and gave each of the brothers a pear and said: "The royal control of the big family is actually a long-term thing, which has never been calmed down for thousands of years, and the big family also knows that they are actually a pig, and they know that they can't be too obese.

Zhao Pu, the prime minister in the early years, was like this, he was the prime minister who helped two generations of emperors, but did the emperor hesitate at all? Another is the prime minister Ding Wei, this is the smartest person in the world, I heard that when he built the palace that was destroyed by fire, because the soil was far away, so he asked the craftsman to take soil on the street, not long after, there was a deep ditch on the street, and then he introduced the water of the Bianhe River into the deep ditch, and those bamboo rows moored on the Bianhe River, the materials for building the palace were introduced through the guò ditch, after the palace was built, he drained the water in the ditch, and filled the waste left by the palace into the ditch, and the street was restored to its original state. Saved hundreds of thousands of dollars for the imperial court.

As a result, such a person was also because the family was too large, and His Majesty chose an opportunity, saying that he harbored Lei Yungong to steal things from the tomb of the first emperor, which angered the Queen Mother, Lei Yungong was executed, Ding Wei was deposed, demoted to Yazhou Sihu to join the army, and all four sons were deposed. When the family property was confiscated, he found "bribes from all sides, invincible" from his home.

His majesty is not smart enough, so he is very wary of those big families, and your eldest brother said that the situation of the Gao family is this category. There is no need for their family to be guilty, as long as they sit big, they will be cut down.

Our family has a small population, and there are only five owners in the mansion of Nuoda, so these things are still far from our family. ”

Yun Er shook his head irritably and said, "It's really troublesome, I don't want to be an official in the future." ”

Lu Qingqing said with a smile: "That's not possible, it's not up to you, you want to train the Yellow River, how can you train if you don't have an official position, but that's okay, if you go to manage the Yellow River in the future, you will be far away from the court, and an official who does things, no one will generally trouble you." ”

"Sister-in-law, how do you know so much? I don't know any of these things. ”

Lu Qingqing smiled: "Do you think it's easy to be a housewife?" Why do you think your eldest brother took such a big risk to marry your sister-in-law and me, it's not that he wants to marry the daughter of a wealthy family so as to help his official family.

Your eldest brother is a cunning one, he thought he really liked me when he married me, but he was deceived, who knew that he would marry a beautiful concubine for himself in a blink of an eye, but he threw a big family of things to me......"

I couldn't listen to this, Yun Er left the eldest brother's study directly, and when he walked outside the door, he could still hear the sound of his sister-in-law and the eldest brother arguing, don't care about him, this is a special way of talking between the two of them, whoever participates is unlucky, because the two of them will deal with the guys involved together......

It is simply impossible to build a model of the Yellow River of equal scale at this stage, but fortunately, our predecessors have done a lot of work in this area.

The monk and his entourage and the Taishi Jian Nangong said that the meridian had been determined, and from north to south, there were Huazhou Baima, Bianzhou Junyi Taiyuetai, Xuzhou Fugou, and Yuzhou Shangcai Wujin Pavilion. Among them, Baima is north of the Yellow River, and the other three points are south of the Yellow River. They are all between 114.2 degrees and 114.5 degrees east longitude, which is almost the same longitude (that is, Liu Zhuo said that "the north and the south make the right"). In total, there are 270 steps in the 526 li of Baima to Shangcai, and the difference in the altitude of the North Pole is 1.5 degrees, so it is concluded that about 351 li and 80 steps, the difference in the height of the North Pole is one degree. This actually gives the length of one degree of the Earth's meridian.

Then use the North Star to set the height, you can roughly get the height of the Yellow River at certain points, which is very similar to the horizontality used in later generations, except that one is positioned by stars, and the other is set by the plane of the sea. It's just that the number jù calculated by using the Pythagorean theorem after positioning the North Star is not very accurate, and Yun Er and they don't have the ability to calculate countless points on the Yellow River, and finally connect these points, if that's the case, a relatively accurate height map of the Yellow River will appear, and now only the altitude that the two brothers barely know, plus those points measured by the North Star, can barely build a Yellow River.

Therefore, the courtyard of the Yun family is full of rocks and loess, sediment, and the Ministry of Engineering has never built such things, so Yun Er, Su Shi, Su Zhe, these three young people are very busy and very hard. (To be continued)
