Chapter 969: The Emperor Looks at the Elephant

Dou Shi bowed down and took the paper, and it turned out to be an excerpt of Su You's recommendation of Dou Shi to Zhao Xu, saying that he had found a talent in the Yushitai, and he didn't know the origin of his identity, and it was estimated that he was a petty official who would make mistakes in prison.

After talking, it was found that he was proficient in water conservancy, and could understand many drawings and tools of the Polytechnic Institute, and this person could deduce where the current crisis of the Yellow River was from the data chart that he would be in prison for many years, which coincided with the results of the actual investigation of the Polytechnic team on the two roads in Hebei, and he was really a genius in river management.

However, this person seems to only be theoretical, and has no experience in practice.

Please Your Majesty check this person, if there is no serious crime, send him to the capital water supervisor to take care of river affairs, and start small with the science and engineering team, or in a few years, the Great Song Dynasty may be able to train a water conservancy expert.

Dou Shi was frightened: "Your Majesty...... These are purely Xiao Su's speculations, water conservancy is just the minister's interest, and at that time, it was just to get closer to some relationships and listen to more news......"

"Unexpectedly, I was caught by Bachelor Xiao Su, saying that I ate him and drank him, and I had to do something for him, and asked me to check the water conservancy strip for His Majesty, Chen, minister...... The minister never communicated with Xiao Su, and he didn't expect that he would recommend Weichen to His Majesty. ”

After speaking, he knelt down with a puff: "The minister is guilty, the minister shouldn't be greedy for the food cooked by Xiao Su for a while, he caught his way, and he was caught drafting water conservancy regulations!" The minister is derelict in his duties, and the minister is guilty......"

"Hahaha......" Zhao Ji couldn't do it: "Get out!" I didn't say I was going to punish you! ”

When Dou Shi stood up in fright, Zhao Ji asked curiously: "Do you think the knowledge of science and engineering is very easy?" ”

Speaking of this, Dou Shi was afraid to forget: "This knowledge is very simple at the beginning, but the more you specialize, the more advanced it becomes." ”

"There is also looking at a mechanical object, to figure out its principle, from practice to theory, in fact, it is not difficult."

"The difficulty lies in issuing a project like a polytechnic institute, according to the function to be achieved, using the knowledge of the polytechnic institute, from theory to practice, inverting the movement trajectory of the mechanical parts, and then designing the corresponding workpiece, and finally creating the machine out of nothing, which is profound."

"Fortunately, the general supervisor has books, drawings, and mechanical models, and when the minister is bored in guarding the warehouse, he ponders this knowledge, and the more he ponders, the more interesting he feels......"

Just as he was talking, he saw Zhao Ji looking at him meaningfully, so he quickly stopped and said, "Uh...... Your Majesty is wise and gifted, and Wei Chen feels that the incisive and profound knowledge must be worthless in the eyes of His Majesty, and it is the minister's ignorance and forgetfulness, shallow, shallow, shallow......"

Zhao Ji took a deep breath suddenly, and finally resisted the urge to kick people, I can't even do this kind of thing in the arithmetic problems of a flat tank a few years ago, I'll tell you?!

Finally waved his hand: "When I go back, I will unload the dispatch of the Imperial City Division, and I don't need to go back as a supervisor, go to Hebei Dushui Supervisor to find Song Yongchen, and say what I said, govern the river and use the way of science and engineering." ”

Dou Shi was immediately overjoyed: "Your Majesty Xie forgives Weichen, the minister is in Hebei, and he will definitely serve His Majesty diligently and be loyal to the king." ”

Although Zhao Ji did not say the position, the emperor personally appointed it, which was a great honor for the officials in the inner court, and it would not be too small.

The lieutenant is the emperor's slave, Zhao Ji and Dou Shi don't need to be polite: "Get out, cure the river and say this again." ”

After asking about the situation, Zhao Ji came to the door, and Wang Anli, a fellow practitioner, was already waiting here.

Today Zhao Ji is going to Yujin Garden, next year's court meeting, there will be six elephants outside the Xuande Gate, one of which is white.

As for whether it can be placed, the courtiers are still debating, once such a behemoth is sexually developed, it will be difficult to control.

In particular, one of them also killed the king of Zhan, which made the courtiers even more worried.

Zhao Ji has the same name, and of course he wants pomp and circumstance, so he took the time today and decided to go and see the elephant in person.

On the exquisite carriage pulled by the white horses of the four divine horses, Zhao Ji looked at the Cuiyu Hua tent on the royal street: "The people in Beijing call it 'Soft Embroidery Heavenly Street', and it has become more and more prosperous in the past two years. ”

Wang Anli is also in the car, this is a bonus, it is more likely that Zhao Ji is bored and needs someone to talk to.

Wang Anshi and Wang Anli's brothers have different political views, but Zhao Ji respects them very much.

Wang Anli arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the saying 'soft embroidered heavenly street' is the reputation obtained by the luxury of the honor guard when the prince sentenced Kaifeng Mansion to Kaifeng Mansion. ”

"Nowadays, the important ministers and relatives come and go, and the riders are prosperous, and they also have a name, which is called 'Banli Jiao' in Beijing."

"The minister thinks that the country's extravagant competition and flashiness are not advisable."

Zhao Ji turned his head back and nodded: "There are two kinds of people in the world, one who wants to reflect the difference between himself and others all the time. ”

"There is also a kind of coarse clothes, walking in a car, always paying attention not to reflect the difference between himself and others, but once he behaves and talks, he can't help but let people see his difference."

"The true noble one is the latter, but many people in the world don't know it."

Wang Anli knew what Zhao Ji wanted to say: "The lord of generosity since ancient times does not scold people with words. Su Shi exerts himself with his talents, saying that the title can be taken immediately, Gu Lulu is like this, and his heart cannot be hopeless. ”

"Once it is reasoned now, I am afraid that future generations will say that Your Majesty will not be able to tolerate talents."

"Su's uncle and nephew were sent to prison, although it was not His Majesty's intention, but it was sensational and shocked China and foreign countries."

Su You is the same, he doesn't know how to advise, but he just wants to clear up the suspicion, but he doesn't know that this will add fuel to the fire, and he will lose the body of a minister. I hope that Your Majesty will take a light responsibility. ”

"Now everyone in Beijing is looking sideways at Yushitai. I heard that Li Ding, Shu Yan's house was splashed with filth by the small people in the market, and his family servants didn't dare to go out now. ”

Zhao Ji said: "Back then, there was a royal history to discuss the collection of the Empress Dowager's charity fund, and everyone in Beijing avoided it like a snake and scorpion, and even the vendors who sent water and collected dung did not come to the door. ”

"But what you said just now must not be publicized outside, beware of villains using this to slander you."

Wang Anli nodded: "The ministers will get it." ”

There are many more animal varieties in Yujin Garden today, such as New Song Zhou, where many strange animals have been discovered.

At first, the old master was ready to put the legendary animals and these animals together from the ancient books, but in the end he found it too difficult, so he had to follow the simple nomenclature of science and technology - kangaroo, thylacine, koala, emu, and Xuanhu......

The black swan is very popular with the people of Bianjing, and it is cut off its flying feathers, stocked in Yujin Garden and Jinming Pond, and there are special people to serve it, which is extremely vicious and can be called a pool bully.

The emperor of Liao also mentioned Xuanhu in his letter to Zhao Xu, hoping that the Great Song Dynasty would give a pair for the sake of the brotherly state, but Zhao Ji has not agreed for the time being.

When I came to the elephant hall, a teenager was busy, his small body was hauling elephant grass for the elephants, wearing the color of the Song Dynasty, but his skin was darker, and the bridge of his nose was relatively collapsed.

The white elephant saw the elephant grass dragging over, and raised his head and nose excitedly.

The little sand grains spread the elephant grass, and Du Li happily rolled up the sweet straw stalk and put it in his mouth to chew, while the little sand grain picked up a large brush and brushed Du Li's body.

Every time he comes to Yujin Garden, Zhao Ji will be in a good mood.

The smell of the elephant garden was intolerable in the past, but after the arrival of the small grains of sand, the elephants were taken care of very carefully, and now the situation is much better than before.

When Xiao Shali saw a warm old man and a middle-aged nobleman standing by the elephant garden, he ran over to give a salute.

The white and beardless fat old man in the luxurious big house in Yunzhou said that the one who wore purple and scarlet in the Great Song Dynasty must be a nobleman, and he had to say hello when he saw it.

When Wang Anshi was in power, Zhao Ji repeatedly promoted him, but Wang Anli resolutely refused on the grounds that his brother was the prime minister.

This is also where Zhao Ji values Wang Anli, although he was a green-robed petty official, Zhao Ji must give a seat every time he sees it, in order to show his grace.

It was only today that he finally borrowed the scarlet and put on the red robe.

On the contrary, Zhao Ji was wearing an ochre yellow robe with dark flowers of Shu brocade and a white jade belt, and Xiao Sha didn't know that this was the most valuable color of clothing, so he gave Wang Anli a reason first, and then Zhao Ji.

Wang Anli hurriedly stepped back and avoided: "This kid doesn't know how to do the courtesy, and this one on the side is a nobleman." ”

Zhao Ji smiled: "The prince is an elder, and he deserves it." Child, this is the white elephant of the king? ”

Little Sand said, "It's called Duli." ”

Zhao Qiqi said: "There is still a name? ”

Little Sand said, "Every elephant has to be named, otherwise how can you call them?" ”

Zhao Ji asked, "What are you doing with them?" ”

Xiao Shali beckoned: "Come over and salute the nobles." ”
