Chapter 552: The Mud-Legged Prefect

Zhao Zhen's generosity this time is to make the ministers can't believe that they are ears, and they usually want to get a penny from the emperor, just like they want him to be meat, is there a Pixiu modified today, but he dared to think about it alone in his heart, and it was strange to say that the emperor didn't pick them up.

It is difficult to say that water is also difficult, and it is simple to say that it is simple, but there are those situations, digging wells, diverting canals, pumping water, and these situations are the same, then there is a need for a lot of manpower, and Tangzhou and Caizhou are obviously unable to complete this task in the current situation.

Everyone here knows this truth, but Wen Yanbo's statement of the method is really shocking, and no one in history has ever dared to do this.

"The Tianping Army went to dig wells for the people, how can this work, there has never been such a precedent! Moreover, gunpowder has the ability to kill the enemy, once the user misses, who bears the responsibility, gunpowder is powerful, we all know that it is. Pang Ji was the first to object.

In terms of the desirability of the use of gunpowder, all the people want to keep their own ideas, because they only hear the name of gunpowder, and they don't know what the effect and performance are, and they don't want to ruin their future because of a single admonition.

Song Zhen was disappointed in Liu Yan to a certain extent, this accident must have made the emperor misunderstand him, as for what kind of punishment is now, it seems that no one has mentioned it, but it is inevitable that the people after the autumn will come up with a way, and he will be a dead horse and a live horse doctor.

"Is it a precedent to arrange a proper person to monitor the use of gunpowder, no matter how much it is used, so that people can record it clearly, everything is based on the disaster, and the means are too much to affect the overall situation, is there a precedent? It is always necessary for people to break it, and it is reasonable for the army to provide disaster relief. ”

Zhao Zhen was very satisfied with Wang Gongchen when he was pulled up with one hand, knowing the grievances between Wang Gongchen and Lu Zifei, he still had the original intention of promoting him step by step to the position of Cheng is in the imperial history, and today he finally made a thing to make him satisfied, which is called a sleepy person to send a pillow.

Others don't have a better way, just like this, Wen Yanbo is way to pass it when no one comes forward, Liu Yan and the previous governor of Tangzhou Everyone invariably chose to be silent, and it is time to settle the general account after the disaster.

I don't know when the disaster relief money will arrive in Tangzhou for the time being, but Liu Chang is busy is in a hurry, and Liu Qingnan also has the first time to be cautious about this young prefect, a Hanlin born in Hanlin and has never worked in the local area How can a young man be so rich in experience.

"My lord, take a break! You are the limit of your strength, and the strength of digging a well is left to be done by familiar people. ”

Liu Qingnan thought to himself, you have a boss, if you want to do it, is it appropriate for us to stand and see? Doesn't that force us to look up to you? The family always feels that the child has become an official, and someone is a master, but as a result, he is still doing hard work all day long, so what does it mean to be an official?

Liu Chang paused for a moment in his hand, looked at Liu Qingnan lukewarmly and said: "Playing official authority also depends on the time, the ability to cure the disaster, it is time for you to play prestige, pretending to be an official in front of a group of ordinary people, can it show that you are powerful?" ”

Liu Qingnan and the others' faces were red and white, there is such a big truth, anyone can talk about it, but there are a few people who can be consistent with the truth and behavior, Liu Chang's approach made Liu Qingnan more resistant in his heart.

"My lord, if you want everyone to act collectively, I will go back and gather the people from the prefect's yamen." Liu Qingnan's anger in this also means that everyone wants to do it together, and no one wants to be lazy.

Liu Chang smiled angrily, so people really don't know how to be judged, and the common people gather together to dig wells? Are you showing superiority on the side, aren't you afraid of being poked in the back?

When an official begins to be close to the people, no matter whether he is putting on a show or being sincere, the common people are willing to see this scene, especially in the Song Dynasty, where the prestige of the government is relatively high.

"Master Prefect, we can only fight to this extent at most now, no matter how deep we don't talk about the water first, we can't go down first, it's too difficult, I suspect that there is no water under the ground in Tangzhou."

Liu Chang is also doubting this question at the moment, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be so deep! Yesterday he was visiting an eighty-year-old man, and the old man told him that there must be water, as long as the well is deep enough.

This depth has indeed become the limit for ordinary people, he is thinking that in addition to the common people, who can make the well deeper, it seems that there is really no more, it is too difficult, Liu Chang thought to himself, I also have a child!

"Do you think anyone else can do that? It's time for you to deal more with the land in your daily life. ”

Don't be ashamed to ask if this is Lu Zifei's lineage is inheritance, Liu Chang and Jia Huang of course they have learned, and a few old people looked at him and their eyes changed, this official master will ask them these mud legs one day!

Most people didn't know what to do, and one of the effects said weakly: "My lord, I know that someone can dig this well deeper, but he may not be willing." ”

Liu Chang stood up and said, "Don't look at what time it is, it's burning your ass!" Who? If you don't come, I'll do it myself, and we will have to find a water source in two days. ”

"Zhang Si, he can." The faces of the others also changed, and Liu Chang thought to himself, this Zhang Si seems to have a well-known figure in this ten miles and eight towns! But looking at everyone's expressions, it doesn't seem to be so good.

"What is this Zhang Siyou doing, now that he is there, as long as he can teach everyone the techniques of drilling wells and save the people of Tangzhou from the fire pit, I promise in front of everyone that even if he has any previous convictions, the government will write them off."

There is a small promise here, after hearing this, the person behind said: "Zhang Si has a nest, he may really be able to dig this well deeper." ”

What kind of heinous character does Liu Chang think is there? It turns out that there is a tomb robber, Tangzhou is close to Luoyang, the number of ancient tombs is a lot, and Luoyang (Henan, Shaanxi) these two places have tomb robbers in large numbers, it is really not unusual.

"Go and invite him over, be kind and polite, this man is very important to all of us."

After two pillars of incense, Yacha came to Liu Chang with a man in his thirties who was in the prime of life, and the name Zhang Si was not very good, but in reality, he was very delicate, nearly one meter eight was a man, very thin, and the most characteristic was that he was five fingers slender.

"Your name is Zhang Si! Don't be nervous, this time I called you to come to the Yacha on the road, I should tell you, I can't promise you too many things, from now on, as long as you give up robbing the tomb, how about I find you a job in the Yamen. ”

This condition is already very tempting, there are also thieves in the tomb robbers, and they can change from the identity of a thief to an official, which is a very big change, and at other times, Liu Chang released this sentence, most of the money dare not say, 50,000 absolute people buy.

Zhang Si was much calmer than the others, and he looked at Liu Chang with a strange look in his eyes, feeling as if he knew each other.

"A few years ago, when Lord Liu was not an official, the villain had met in Luoyang, and the adult said yes, I believe that the villain does not ask for an official body, I want the adult to help me write a letter of recommendation."

This time it was Liu Chang's turn to be surprised, and he could see that there was a smart person here, Liu Chang smiled and said: "The recommendation letter is easy to write, you have to go there, we have to talk faster, because you know that many people can't wait." ”

Zhang Si said: "I want to go to the north to wait for Luoyang is Zhuangzi, and it is not difficult to have such a letter that the Lord and the Hou Ye are friends!" ”

"Okay, no problem, I'll write to you now, you tell me now, can you increase the depth of this well?"

Zhang Si was also happy in his heart, he was finally able to leave this place, and he no longer had to care about other people's strange eyes and endless ridicule, what is it to dig a well, he is eager to leave here now.

"Two people pull the hanging basket on it, two people hold fans and fan the well without stopping, adults find four people to be responsible for these, and the others are adults, you just leave it to me, I will let you see the water tomorrow morning." Zhang Si said with confidence and confidence.

I'm afraid that you won't give me the exact time, Zhang Sili issued a military order, which made Liu Chang is confidence a little more, and after the matter was temporarily resolved, he shifted his eyes to another place.

When he returned to the mansion, Liu Chang asked people to inform Liu Qingnan, because he still didn't understand the place to ask Liu Qingnan, the head snake.

"My lord, you're looking for me." Liu Qingnan said without being salty or light.

Liu Chang sneered in his heart, this will make you throw my face, it's time for you to cry, but I don't have the heart to pay attention to you.

"Lord Liu, you have locals, I want to ask you, if 10,000 people lead the Huai River from Caizhou to Tangzhou in ten days, can it be done? 10,000 is a little bit higher. ”

Liu Qingnan also scolded in his heart, if you do this, of course you can hold it up with a young man, what about us? Being old and human, do you want to kill us? Die before leaving the school.

"Tangzhou has also had a drought before, but it is not as serious as this time, close to Caizhou is that the people have also diverted water from the Huai River, and now those canals should still be there, so that you can save a lot of effort, ten days is about the same."

Liu Chang doesn't care about irrigating the grain now, first solve the problem of saving people's lives is water, and then talk about it, after this is confirmed, he is ready to ask others again, like Liu Qingnan, the credibility of people is not so high.

After many confirmations, Liu Chang prepared to go to the Tianping Army barracks, which was recorded here as more than 10,000 soldiers and Xiangyong, as long as these people were mobilized, the matter of diversion was even simpler than digging wells.

However, after walking out of the mansion, he retreated, he felt that it was not appropriate to go to the Tianping Army before the well water was uncertain, and he could not go to the well is place, and it was too much pressure to go to Zhang Si, at this time, he thought about a few good friends, and everyone went their separate ways in a year, and they hadn't gathered for a long time.
