After Wang Shouren became the head of the Criminal Department, he went through many cases of the Criminal Department, re-investigated, and one unjust, false and wrongful case after another came to light.

But the more he checked, the more hesitant he became.

"This is not the path to a saint."

Even if all the unjust cases in the world are turned over, they can't make a life for the people.

The root causes are not endless, and the unjust cases are endless.

Compared with the old brother's move to settle tens of thousands of displaced people, the effect is minimal.

Brother Gao's move is the real heart for heaven and earth, life for life, for the saints to continue learning, for the eternal peace.

In the old brother, there always seems to be an unusual way to break all the confinements.

Wang Shouren was burdened and decided to go to Liangxiang.

Although he is no longer in charge, when he arrives in Liangxiang County, his eyes are still dull and unable to move.

When the sun is scorching, you can't open your eyes when you look up.

I saw thousands of displaced people, working in the countryside, and a round of waterwheels set up on the bank of the canal, sparkling in the water.

This scene is like the south of the Yangtze River.

In just 10 days, under Zhang Xian's organization, the displaced people dug a three-mile-long canal, which was six feet wide and twisted and twisted, enough to irrigate thousands of acres of fertile land.

To do their own work, the homeless people hated having to rest, and they did not need Zhang Xian's urging, so they came to the canal before sunrise to work, open the soil, transport stones, and consolidate the embankments on both sides.

Wang Shouren stopped and watched for a long time before continuing to walk towards the county seat.

The county seat of Liangxiang is very small, but it is bustling, and with his understanding of the county, a small county town will never have so many people coming here.

Wang Shouren went straight to the Liangxiang Yamen, looked around, and found a small courtyard on the side.

Knock Knock......

The door opened, and Wang Shouren hurriedly said, "Under Wang Shouren, look for Lord Yan." ”

How could he have seen him, and knew that he was the same year as the young master, so he opened the door and let him in.

This thing has opened the saint halo again? Yan Chengjin was surprised: "How did Bo'an know that I was here?" ”

"Only here is the safest place in Liangxiang, and I guess that the old brother is here." Wang Shouren said with some shame.

Those who know me, Wang Yangming.

"Bo'an came to look for me...... Is there something going on? ”

Wang Shouren bowed, a little ashamed: "I want to ask the old brother, how to establish a life for the people, open peace for all generations, and how to become a saint?" ”

Tens of thousands of displaced people gathered in Liangxiang, and instead of causing Liangxiang to collapse, it was thriving.

Wang Shouren understood.

From the resettlement of displaced people to today's implementation of the paving into the mu, it seems to be an unintentional move, but every step is the scheming camp of the old brother.

The old brother is a human being, if he is not 120% sure, he will never rashly admonish, and gather the displaced people in a good hometown, which shows that the old brother has a perfect plan.

In the whole world, it is difficult for a second person to do it.

What the old brother did was to set up a life for life and open peace for all generations.

Yan Chengjin was stunned, Wang Shouren was still persevering in his pursuit of the way of the saint.

You ask me how to become a saint, how can I answer you......

The only saint I've ever seen in my life is you.

Yan Chengjin thought for a while: "Don't just take the principles of the saints as the truth, there are still many truths in the world, which have not been understood by the saints.

The unity of knowledge and action may enable people to understand the truth other than the principles of the saints, but if they know it but do not put it into practice, then it cannot be called true knowledge.

And the best way to unite knowledge and action is to refine things!

Everything can be refined, and if you do it this way, you may ...... Everyone has the potential to become a saint. ”

Scholars are imprisoned by the teachings of the saints, thinking that there is no other truth in the world besides the teachings of the saints.

These are what Wang Shouren said.

Yan Chengjin is just a spoiler.

Wang Shouren stood stunned for a long time.

morning

After the implementation of the apportionment into the acres in Liangxiang, the ministers of the court occasionally talked about it, but no one discussed it in the court.

Yan Chengjin was puzzled, the ministers knew that it was he who proposed to spread the land into the mu, but no one asked, which was strange.

On the official road, which is still two miles away from Liangxiang, Yan Chengjin asked people to stop the sedan chair and stand next to the official road.

As far as the eye can see, homeless people are working in the fields.

The summer tax will soon be collected.

"Liangxiang has successively implemented new commercial taxes and field taxes, if you can't pay all the summer taxes, what can you use to persuade Emperor Hongzhi to implement the world."

Yan Chengjin thought to himself, not only to pay, but also to make up for the tax arrears of previous years, which surprised Emperor Hongzhi.

It takes a lot of silver.

"During the Xiaoice River period, it will get colder and colder after winter, and the roads will be full of snow, and the merchants will definitely decrease a lot, so for the sake of prudence, it is necessary to reserve some silver now."

The treasury silver of Liangxiang comes from the land endowment and commercial taxes, and it is difficult to say how much the field can hand over.

The commercial tax has just been changed, and it seems a bit unkind to immediately increase the collection.

Yan Chengjin fell into deep thought.

From a distance, the buildings in Liangxiang are lined up, like an isolated island left in the middle of the world, and it seems that there is always something missing.

"Bring the pen and paper from the sedan chair."

"Young master, give!"

Yan Chengjin sketched on the spot, watched politics in the Ministry of Industry, learned the ability to draw first-hand, and painted according to the general appearance of Liangxiang County.

"Young master, this circle, it's really well drawn."

Yan Chengjin himself was also satisfied.

Sitting in a sedan chair and entering Liangxiang County, Yan Chengjin found Song Jing.

"Let all the craftsmen help the official make something."

Song Jing glanced at the drawings, and could vaguely see that it was Liangxiang, and next to Liangxiang, there was a huge thing, which was taller than all the buildings and the size of a mountain.

"Adults are going to make a big waterwheel?"

"This is a Ferris waterwheel, the structure is like a waterwheel, but it is very different from the waterwheel, and there are people sitting on it."

Song Jing was a little dazed: "...... Who's going to sit on top? ”

"The official doesn't know, what you do is to use iron for the pedestal below, otherwise it won't be able to hold on, and it will snow soon, as soon as possible, in winter, no one really sits."

The structure of the Ferris wheel is very similar to that of a waterwheel, with an iron base underneath, and the entire Ferris wheel made of wood, so there is no technical difficulty.

Song Jing went to the yamen's house to ask for silver.

Make such a big watermill to sit people, and have in the brain to put this person? The scribe of the household did not dare to give the silver, but went to Zhang Xian.

"Adults, small ones have opinions about this money." The scribe Xu Sheng handed over the drawings: "This person said that he wanted to build such a big waterwheel in Liangxiang. ”

"That's what Lord Yan meant." Yan Chengjin asked him to come to the yamen to ask for silver.

Zhang Xian took the drawings and took a look, and he had to use his imagination to see that this was a waterwheel.

"How many taels of silver?"

"At least eight hundred taels."

Song Jing calculated the wages and timber of the craftsmen, and it was cheap in Liangxiang.

Zhang Xian's heart was as uncomfortable as being cut off a piece of meat, "It's a waste of silver, give it to him." ”

In the past few days, Yan Chengjin has been supervising the workers in Liangxiang County, and the craftsmen are some masters.

Cast iron masters build a huge pedestal.

Within a few days, hundreds of people carried a behemoth to the southwest clearing of Liangxiang.

"On the official road from the capital to Liangxiang, looking from a distance, this place is the best, half hidden and half visible." Yan Chengjin thought secretly.

Zhang Xian was dumbfounded, he had never seen such a big waterwheel in his life.

When the gentry of Liangxiang heard about it, they came to watch and followed the giant waterwheel to the southwest clearing of Liangxiang.

Except for Yan Chengjin, no one knows what this is.

Ferris waterwheel, a new landmark in Liangxiang!

When a city has a landmark, it has a soul.

Just like when you see Tiananmen Square, you will think of Beijing, when you see the goddess of raising hands, you will think of country M, when you see Shengli Gate, you will think of country F, and when you see the sleepy tower, you will think of Yidali.

Speaking of the Ferris waterwheel, you will think of Liangxiang.

The base of the iron frame is relatively high, there is a difference in height, and thousands of craftsmen use huge ropes to hang it up and erect it on the base.

There is no electricity, a handmade Ferris wheel...... Ingenuity braking.

Zhang Xian was surprised: "My lord, what is this?" ”

"The new income-generating project of Liangxiang, you can overlook the panoramic view of Liangxiang when you sit on it, and you can turn around twice for five dollars of silver." Yan Chengjin felt that he was already very conscientious.

There are a lot of them that only turn once, and he gives one more turn.

Wang Busui on the side heard this and shouted according to the original words.

It was surrounded by businessmen who came to see the excitement, and no one dared to go up for a while.
