As soon as Wang Yuan returned to the courtyard of the rented house, Zhou Chong heard a sound and came out, and stretched out his hand to help Wang Yuan get something: "Second brother, grandpa didn't embarrass you, right?" ”

"How can you be embarrassed?" Wang Yuan pushed Zhou Chong's hand away and said with a smile, "I'll take it myself." ”

Zhou Chong immediately patted his ass: "This is a gift from my grandfather, right?" The second brother is really extraordinary, and even the grandfather is very important. ”

Wang Yuan went straight back to the house, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and ordered: "Get me some hot water, I'm sweating today." ”

"Okay, I'll go." Zhou Chong Mali ran away.

Wang Yuan put the steel knife and the strong bow on the table, he hadn't looked at it carefully in the mansion before, but now he had to study it carefully. It's not about playing with the baby, it's about getting acquainted with your own weapons, just as a rider must be familiar with a horse.

This 100-for-100 steel knife, the blade is three feet three inches long, the handle is one foot two inches long, and the shape is the Song Dynasty horse chopping knife.

Unlike the machete that kills devils, its blade is straight, and if it is seen by modern people, it is estimated that it will be mistaken for a Japanese katana.

In terms of details, it is not exactly the same as the Song Dynasty horse chopping knife, with some foreign styles of the Yuan Dynasty. The blade is a hexagonal cross, the blade has a double blood groove, the handle is slightly bent downward, and the ring head is changed to a fish's mouth.

The blade is engraved with a small seal inscription, and the content makes Wang Yuan smile.

Grandpa Mu is still very sassy, and he actually named this knife "Dragon Sparrow", and asked the craftsman to engrave the words: "Ancient sharp weapon, Wu Chu Zhanlu; The Great Summer Dragon Sparrow, the famous god capital. You can be far away, you can be soft; Like the popular grass, it is subdued by the nine districts. ”

Take the bow and arrow to look at it carefully, and the inscription can be faintly seen on the bow body, but only the word "rhino photo" can be used.

Although there was no idiom in the Ming Dynasty for "rhino burning candles", "rhino burning candles" had already come out. The name of the bow "rhino zhao" is nothing more than the meaning of "rhino burning candles, there is nothing to hide", no matter how deep the enemy can see, no matter how far away the enemy can be shot to death, but also alluded to the rhinoceros horn material of this bow.

The rhino bow and the dragon bird knife are all quite powerful. It's just that the horse is more crotch-pulling, and it has always been called Ah Hei, and Wang Yuan doesn't plan to change its name.

Wang Yuan danced his knife and made a bow for a while, and Zhou Chong also boiled the hot water.

Take a bath and rest, and have nothing to say all night.

The next morning, Li Ying, Zou Mu and others came to visit Dianchi Lake with Wang Yuan.

After all, it's hard to come to Yunnan once, and you always have to see everywhere. Yesterday, Wang Yuan went to the Qianguo Mansion, and the others had already traveled for a day, and they each made a few sour poems to meet the occasion - this is also a literary meeting, there are quite a lot of scholars in Wuhua Mountain and other scenic spots, and most of them are accompanied by more than ten people.

"Hey, where did this bow come from?" Li Ying walked into the room and saw the big bow hanging on the wall at a glance.

Before Wang Yuan could answer, Zhou Chong showed off: "Grandpa Mu gave him a treasure knife." ”

"Do more things and talk less in the future!" Wang Yuan patted Zhou Chong's head as a punishment.

Zhou Chong shrunk his neck: "Oh, I remember." ”

Li Ying took the bow and arrow off the wall, wound it with great difficulty, and then pulled it hard, and suddenly said: "God, I'm afraid it's not a two-stone bow?" I can't even pull it away. ”

"Gone." Wang Yuan said with a smile.

"What about knives? I'll try the knife again. "Li Ying hasn't enjoyed it yet.

Wang Yuan had no choice but to take the knife to him, loosen the bowstring and carry it on his back, and he would take it with him when he went to the lake today--put it in the house for fear of being stolen.

"Good knives!"

Li Ying pulled out the knife from the sheath, his eyes lit up, kicked over the chair and slashed it, and one of the chair legs was broken in response.

Wang Yuan was speechless and said, "Can you not destroy the items?" ”

Li Ying stroked the blade of the knife and said, "I'll pay for a chair." ”

Wang Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to this goods, took Zhou Chong out of the door, and took Ah Hei to visit Dianchi Lake.

met Jin Wei at the door, this gentleman was reluctant and went out with his father. The Jin family has a business in Kunming, and Jin Wei passed the examination to solve the yuan, so Jin Wanchuan naturally wants to take his son out to socialize, and this kind of entertainment is exactly what Jin Wei hates the most.

Jin Wei saw Wang Yuan and the other scholars leaving together, and his face was full of envy. No matter how vulgar Yun Guishi is, he is still a scholar, and he is always more elegant than those businessmen.

In his previous life, Wang Yuan swam through Dianchi Lake, but the scenery was completely different.

The Dianchi Lake in the Ming Dynasty was much bigger than it was a few hundred years later!

Luo Jiang, as a native of Yunnan, rode out of the city on horseback, pointed to the chaotic residential area outside the city and said: "Since the Jingtai period, Haikou has often been silted, once the water of Dianchi Lake is flooded, it can even flood the houses attached to Kunming City, and all the fertile fields around Dianchi Lake have no harvest. ”

"It's well governed." Wang Yuan said from afar.

Luo Jiang said with a smile: "In the past, it was repaired once every few decades, but now it is repaired once a year and a major repair every three years, otherwise it will inevitably be flooded." ”

After walking for more than ten miles, Wang Yuan looked at the endless fertile fields and basically knew why Dianchi Lake needed to be managed every year.

Caused by the reclamation of the lake!

When Mu Ying was guarding Yunnan, he governed Dianchi Lake once, dredged and reclaimed countless military fields, and continued to enclose the lake to create fields.

The water storage of Dianchi Lake was greatly reduced, and there was only one water outlet, which finally caused a catastrophe a few decades later. This time, it was the town guard eunuch who presided over the water control, and directly used the army to clear the water, which made Dianchi Lake stable for decades.

But the more and more military fields are built, and the Dianchi Lake is getting smaller and smaller.

Nine years ago, the Dianchi Lake flooded outside the city of Kunming, and Mu Kun mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to finally dredge. This is the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years, the largest scale of the Dianchi Lake treatment project, the dredging is very thorough, directly let the water level of Dianchi Lake drop more than 10 meters (the highest calculation when flooding), take the opportunity to reclaim thousands of fertile land.

This is the credit of Mu Kun, so he has a great reputation in Yunnan. With this kind of credit, even if it is not counted as the work of quelling the chaos, no matter how much he makes trouble, the officials of the third division can only endure it.

Of course, civil servants also have merit.

The previous heads of the project were all civilian officials. It is a pity that the energy of these civil officials is too small to mobilize sufficient manpower and financial resources, and they are governed every year, flooded every year, and belittled officials every year.

It was not until the catastrophe that had not been encountered in a century that the imperial court let Mu Kun take over the project, and on the basis of the water control of the previous civil officials, coordinated the military and political system of Yunnan to work together, and it was completed in only a few months.

What's even more valuable is that with Mu Kun, the prince of Qianguo, in charge, the eunuchs and civil officials dare not mess around.

After the flood receded, the land with land deeds was returned to the original owner, and the ownerless land was distributed to the displaced people for reclamation, and the civil officials, eunuchs, Haoqiang, and the military were not able to occupy it on a large scale. The land arrears of several counties around Dianchi Lake over the years, because of this time to control the water and clear the fields, actually made up for it directly in the next two years.

After listening to Luo Jiang's story, Wang Yuan's impression of Grandpa Mu changed greatly, and he felt that he seemed to be too rude yesterday.

When they reached the lake, everyone bought boats and cruised, and the scholars stayed on the shore to take care of their luggage and livestock.

Wang Yuan was lying on the boat, blowing a cool breeze, not to mention how pleasant it felt.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of silk and bamboo, but it was another boat, and there were also scholars engaged in a tourism cultural meeting.

Yue Zhen beat the beat, sang loudly, and sang Xin Qiji's "Qinyuan Spring": "A water comes from the west, a thousand zhang Qinghong, ten miles of green screens." After the years, the grass hall has come to Du Lao again, and the sloping river has a good scene, and it lives up to the yuanming. The old crane flies high, a branch stays, and the snail wears a house with a long smile......"

After singing a song, the other side laughed and replied to Xin Qiji's "Water Tune Song Head".

The two boats simply drove together and drank and had fun together. They are all young scholars, and they have already completed the township examination, so they should be prodigal.

After playing until the sun set, everyone returned to the city in disrespect, pleaded for a long time, and gave a few taels of silver, and finally asked the officers and soldiers defending the city to open the city gate - this is still for the sake of them all scholars.

When I returned to Qingyun Street, I happened to meet Jin Wanchuan and Jin Li's father and son returning from entertainment.

Jin Wanchuan came to Wang Yuan's room, talked nonsense for a long time, and finally asked, "Has the prince ever married?" ”

Wang Yuan was stunned and said with a smile: "There is a marriage contract." ”

Jin Wanchuan was disappointed and said embarrassedly: "Excuse me." ”

The next day, everyone left together and officially set off to return to Guizhou.
