Chapter 396: A Newcomer to Water Control
It doesn't hurt to change the fief, but if King Xing wants to change the fief in Jiangnan, Emperor Hongzhi will have to consider it carefully.
The land south of the Yangtze River is fertile, and if it is given to King Xing, it will damage the tax amount of summer tax and autumn grain.
Now, it's time for the end of the day.
Without this part of the tax revenue, many projects could not be carried out, and perhaps the millions of displaced people in the northwest could not be resettled.
Emperor Hongzhi said: "I haven't seen the flood in Anlu Prefecture, Yan Qing's family, have you seen the sparse performance transmitted back by the imperial history of Kedao?" ”
The imperial historian supervised the local area for the emperor, which was more reliable than the local officials, and if the Imperial Procuratorate did not have it, it would be Princess Xing's lie.
Yan Chengjin thought about it carefully and said, "The minister has never seen it." ”
Princess Xing knelt on the ground and said to the Empress Dowager Zhou: "How dare the concubines deceive, the court will send someone to Huguang to know." ”
Empress Dowager Zhou frowned slightly, a little unsure.
Emperor Hongzhi said coldly: "There is a flood in the vassal country, and the flood control is to control the water, and I will hand over the fief to him, which is to let him settle the people."
He changed the feudal country, and the people of Anlu Prefecture also changed to Jiangnan! ”
The atmosphere was weird, and the singing and dancing stopped.
Emperor Hongzhi's face softened a little: "Today I only wish my birthday, don't talk about court affairs, don't disturb the Queen Mother's Yaxing." ”
Xiao Jing hurriedly arranged, and a few actors took the stage, and the atmosphere gradually eased up.
The floods in Huguang'an and Luzhou must be dealt with after all.
After accompanying him for half an hour, Emperor Hongzhi got up and returned to the Fengtian Temple, and after a while, the cabinet and the six ministers were summoned to the main hall.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you have received the flood relief in Anlu Prefecture."
"Yes, Your Majesty is inconvenient to recuperate, and the ministers have approved it on their behalf." Liu Jian said.
Emperor Hongzhi remembered that a while ago he ordered Liu Jian to act as the agent of the court, so that the flood in Anlu Prefecture was real.
Whether it is to give an explanation to the Queen Mother, or for the people of Anlu Prefecture, this flood must be treated.
"After Liu Daxia and Zhou Jing Zhishi, there are no more capable ministers in the court who can control the water, can anyone recommend the princes?"
Emperor Hongzhi was in the palace for a long time, and he rarely dealt with officials other than the upper three grades.
He didn't know if there were incompetent officials outside the three grades, so he could only rely on the recommendation of the cabinet and the six ministries.
Liu Jian and the others fell into deep thought.
Xie Qian said: "Among the young officials, I have never heard of them, and some of them are proficient in water control. ”
Emperor Hongzhi turned his head slightly and looked at Yan Chengjin: "Yan Qingjia, I remember the questions of your palace exam, and you answered them well." ”
In the temple examination, the problem of water control was proposed by him.
The answer written by Yan Chengjin is almost a perfect score in his heart.
Li Dongyang and others turned their heads sideways.
Xie Qian's head: "The minister has also seen that policy, Yan Chengjin has never been out of the capital, and he can answer the question of returning to Cao, dividing and conquering, but he is talented." ”
As far as they knew, Yan Chengjin had never been out of the capital.
However, the policy topic handed in is like governing thousands of rivers, and every sentence can be the reason for water control, and the head is the way.
Yan Chengjin didn't want to go out of the capital, let alone see King Xing.
Liu Daxia was a water control minister in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, however, he made a deal with Liu Mansion and retired early.
The DPRK and China are indeed in short supply.
Li Dongyang and Liu Jian were very interested to see how this kid shirked it.
Yan Chengjin said: "There is one person who can be recommended." ”
Emperor Hongzhi is interested, although this son shirks every time, but the person he recommends is really easy to use.
"Who?"
"Hanlin Academy, Xie Pi!"
Xie Qian almost fell to the ground, Rao is his clever tongue, all he can do at this moment is to point at Yan Chengjin and stammer: "You...... Don't talk nonsense! ”
Water control is extremely dangerous.
If you are not careful to walk on the embankment, you will fall into the turbulence, and you will not see anyone alive or dead.
And Xie Pi is not familiar with water at all, he really falls, and he dies without life.
The most important thing is that Xie Pi can't control water at all, this, this is clearly a frame-up!
He only has one son, Xie Pi, and would rather not be an official than control the water.
Yan Chengjin continued: "If Xie Pi goes to control the water, he will be at least sixty percent sure that the flood in Anluzhou will be calmed. ”
This is a reassuring pill, after Emperor Hongzhi eats it, it is difficult not to send Xie Pi.
Xie Qian panicked, and almost didn't beat Yan Chengjin when he raised his face.
Yan Chengjin had expected this to be the case, standing far away, Li Dongyang hurriedly hugged him: "Yu Qiao, don't be angry, my son Zhaoxian is still in Manchuria, think about it, think about it carefully." ”
Thinking about it like this, Xie Qian's anger disappeared by half.
If you want to go to Anlu Prefecture than to be uncertain overseas, it's better to go to Anlu Prefecture.
Liu Jian said bluntly: "Xie Pi grew up in Beijing since he was a child, and he has never seen a river, even if he is an official with merits in water control, he does not dare to guarantee that he can control all rivers, how can you conclude?" ”
However, water control has a great deal to do with topography and ecology.
If you change places, you may not be able to cure it.
In the hundreds of years of history of the Ming Dynasty, there have been thousands of disasters, but floods account for seventy percent.
That is, for the most serious flooding.
Now the imperial court needs a young minister who can control water.
Yan Chengjin said: "Among the science subjects that Xie Pi studied, one of them was geography.
There is a canal in front of Liangxiang, and after Xie Pi led people to govern it, there has been no flooding so far. ”
In fact, Xie Pi carried a hoe and went to dig up the sediment.
Isn't that what water control is all about?
The water flow brings the sediment from both sides into the river, so the sediment at the bottom of the river is slowly raised, and the water overflows and floods.
Therefore, digging up the sediment at the bottom of the river is also considered to control the water.
In the future, the water control work of the Ming Dynasty will be handed over to Xie Pi.
Emperor Hongzhi is at a loss, this son does not dare to lie, Xie Pi may really have the ability to control water.
But......
Xie Pi is Master Xie's only son.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xie Qian and said, "I have made up my mind, Xie Pi will go to Anlu Prefecture to control the water, what does Master Xie think?" ”
Xie Qian's mind was blank, but to deal with the flood, the ministers of the court would get it, and Xie Pi would naturally go too.
"At the disposal of His Majesty."
Emperor Hongzhi ordered someone to draw up an edict and send it to Hanlin Academy.
If Xie Pi can manage the floods in Anlu Prefecture, King Xing will not have to change his fief from the beginning, but he can give the Queen Mother an explanation.
After the cabinet and the six ministries left the main hall, Yan Chengjin still stayed in the hall.
"The dynasty is scattered, why hasn't Yan Qing's family left?"
"Minister, wait for Lord Xie to go away before leaving."
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help laughing, picked up the sparse music and read it.
Yan Chengjin slipped out of the back door, but saw Xie Qian blocking the door of the hall.
"Come here, the official has something to say to you."
"Your Excellency, put it down first."
Xie Qian's fluorene is made of ivory, which hurts a lot on the body, and it is heavier, which can stone people to death, so it has to be guarded against.
Seeing that he threw Rui aside, Yan Chengjin walked over and kept a safe distance of three meters.
"What's the matter, my lord?"
"Let me ask you, does my son really have the ability to cure water?"
Yan Chengjin thought for a while and said, "Please also ask Lord Xie to believe in Xie Pi!" ”
Xie Qian finally realized Li Dongyang's heartache: "If... My son can't come back, what should you do! ”
Give you a son?
With Xie Qian's IQ, he is not like someone who will raise a son for others.
Yan Chengjin pondered for a moment and said, "Then the next official will send eight stones of rice grain to Lord Xie every month." ”
Xie Qian figured it out.
My son's monthly income is eight stones of rice grain, and this son will support my son for the rest of his life.
Bah~
How could Xie Fu be short of eight stones of rice grain?
