"This king said that there is no food, do you still want to impeach this king?"

Chen Zheng saw that Zhu Youqi was furious, and almost knelt down for Xie Pi, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

Xie Pi has returned to Beijing, and he will stay in Anlu Prefecture in the future, and he will feel good.

Xie Pi bowed slightly: "This official is playing truthfully!" The people of Anlu Prefecture are also the people of Xingwang and the country, how can they bear to ignore it. ”

"This king has promised you a hundred stones of grain, and ordered someone to go to the house to get it."

Zhu Youqi's mansion is rich in granaries, and most of the taxes in Anlu Prefecture over the years are in his granary.

However, he couldn't let Xie Pi control the water.

If the Han River is really cured, it will not be able to move the nest.

After Zhu Youqi left, Chen Zhengcai said with a worried face: "King Xing only gives a hundred stone of grain, how is this good, even if you cook porridge, it won't last a few days." ”

After Anlu Prefecture was flooded, the merchants in Jiangnan should have heard the news and would escort the grain to sell.

However, the yamen had no money.

I can't afford to buy food.

Of the 10,000 people raised, most of them ran away after the flood, and less than 7,000 remained in the camp.

Xie Pi's face was solemn: "This official will write a song to return to Beijing, and my father and Lord Yan are fighting hard in the court, and I may be able to give an explanation to the people of Anlu Prefecture." ”

At night, Chen Zheng ordered people to transport back the relief grain from Xingwangfu and cook a pot of porridge.

Xie Pi squatted beside the fire, eating with the people, knowing that he was the son of Xie University's scholar's family, Chen Zheng admired it in his heart.

"I often hear Lord Xie mention Lord Yan, but I don't know who Lord Yan is?"

Xie Pi thought about it carefully and spit out four words: "Don't leak it." ”

Chen Zheng looked at the new canal not far away, just digging a few zhang away, and sighed lightly: "The stone that the adults want is extremely difficult to mine, and the iron is not strong, and at the end of the day, a few pieces of bluestone can not be mined." ”

A mile away there is a stone mountain, from which the stone was mined.

Chen Zheng continued: "Is it possible to only dig the canal and not quarry the stone, so that the river can be dredged faster. ”

"No, this move is beneficial for a thousand years, and you must use boulders to stabilize the riverbank!" Xie Pi thought for a while and wrote a recipe on the paper: "Order people to buy these materials, especially saltpeter, the more the better." ”

Chen Zheng sent people to prepare overnight, and after being tired all day, he went to bed early.

The next morning,

Xie Pi began to allocate the materials he bought, and saw Chen Zheng coming over: "Stay away from this official, it's dangerous!" ”

"My lord, this is?" Chen Zheng was surprised.

"Configure gunpowder."

Xie Pi's face was as usual, if he blew up the boulder with gunpowder, he could mine it without forced labor.

Chen Zheng's face changed in fright, what is the origin of this Lord Xie, he can do anything!

Actually, this is the gunpowder that was filled into the Hongyi general.

After the gunpowder was prepared, he ordered someone to dig a small hole one zhang deep on the stone mountain, wrap the medicine powder in moisture-proof oil paper, and put it into the stone cave.

The fire fold is thrown into the hole.

Xie Pi ran away, and when Chen Zheng and the others saw this, they ran away.

Behind him, there was a boom, and a boulder was blown apart and rolled down the mountain.

"It's useful, but it's a bit gunpowder." Xie Pi was overjoyed.

Chen Zheng was stunned, with this method, he could blow up the mountain in one day......

…………

Xingwangfu,

Zhu Youqi wrote a letter and ordered someone to send it to the capital to the Queen Mother.

"What is Xie Pi doing on the Han River?"

"Back to the prince, I was digging a canal, and I heard the spies say that early this morning, he used gunpowder to blow up a stone mountain and mine stones." The palace steward said.

Princess Xing said: "After Liu Daxia sent a message, there is no one to govern the river, even if the queen mother finishes watching the prince's sparse performance, this Han River may not be able to be cured." ”

King Xing nodded, and ordered someone to send the music to the capital urgently.

…………

Capital

In the past few days, Yan Chengjin hid when he saw Xie Qian, and Xie Pi didn't know how to write a letter to return to Beijing.

It is difficult for future generations to have an effective method to control the water.

The difficulty is that regardless of rivers and lakes, there is a fixed amount of water that can be stored.

If you exceed this scale, the water will overflow.

Rivers and lakes can only hold a glass of water, and if God pours down a bucket of water, floods will naturally erupt.

This is the reason why the flood in the afterlife could not be cured.

You never know how much water God will pour on you.

Therefore, no matter how many tributaries are dug and how many lakes are dug, no matter how good the flood discharge system is.

As long as the amount of water that falls from the sky exceeds the amount of water that can be stored, there will be flooding, and there is no solution.

Perhaps, the only solution to the flood is to control the weather, control the rainfall, and let God hold back.

Before Yan Chengjin crossed, it was rumored that he was already researching experiments on climate weapons.

However, thinking about this in Daming is still a little far.

"These iron tools, I ordered someone to send them to Anlu Prefecture to Xie Pi, and I think I will use them to dig the canal."

Wang Busui had a bitter face: "Young master, these are given for nothing?" ”

"The newly built collapsed house in the northwest, as far as this official knows, has not yet paid taxes, right? It should be converted into tax silver. Yan Chengjin said.

The silver from the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce, after being liquidated in this way, the accounts will be clearer.

"The villain knows, and the villain will do it."

Yan Chengjin squatted in front of the main hall, and there was freshly brewed red wine on the side.

This new brew, from koji to wine, is all handled by him.

In other words, it's drinkable.

And a few days ago, the wine that was sent to the palace was made from wine bought outside.

Menzi walked in quickly: "Young Master, Master Li invites you to come to the mansion for a talk." ”

Since the hemorrhoidal surgery, Li Dongyang has never invited him again, but I am afraid that it is for Xie Pi's business.

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian are good friends, and their relationship is closer than Liu Jian, which Yan Chengjin saw when he was in Hanyuan.

"Master Li said, if you don't go......"

Before Menzi's words were finished, Yan Chengjin instructed He Neng: "Get a pot of wine and prepare a sedan chair to go to Li's mansion." ”

He Neng responded and hurriedly prepared.

After a while, Yan Chengjin sat in a sedan chair, and when he arrived at the Li Mansion, the housekeeper had been waiting for a long time and welcomed him to the pavilion in the middle courtyard.

Sure enough, I saw Xie Qian......

"Yan Chengjin, you said the secret recipe for water control for my son, let's hear it." Xie Qian suspected that he was fooling His Majesty.

In addition to writing a question on water control, where has he also treated water.

"Once upon a time, there was a heavenly river, and the heavenly river flooded ......"

Xie Qian's face darkened, isn't this a storyteller in the restaurant? Shouldn't this son really write something like this for me?

"You take it seriously, you take it seriously......"

"The brocade box that Xia Guan gave to Xie Pi is true."

Yan Chengjin looked at Li Dongyang, didn't know what Li Dongyang called him to, put the wine on the table, and took out his own glass from his arms.

Li Dongyang looked at it carefully: "This is the wine you brewed for Your Majesty?" ”

"This is fruit wine, and the lower officials call him red wine."

Yan Chengjin beckoned, how could he pour a cup for the three of them.

Li Dongyang tasted a small sip, but he thought it was good, Xie Qian didn't want to drink this kid's wine, and when he saw Li Dongyang drinking it, he also tasted a small sip, and he actually liked it.

"Do you still remember that Jiao Fang entered the Criminal Department because of you." Li Dongyang looked at Yan Chengjin and continued: "Now that he has come out, if you slander him like this, he will definitely remember it." ”

Is it possible that you want to kill your own official?

Yan Chengjin fell into deep thought.
