Zhao Zhongjun has been listening to it all the time, and when he learned that he could participate in such a fun thing, he naturally agreed.

Su Lu also gladly responded.

The group lived temporarily in Luoyang, and went to the government every day to follow the person in charge out to hang around the northern area, occasionally sneaking near Shao Yong's house, and going to eat tea and chat.

Through consulting various classics and records, Zhao Zhongjun has a deep understanding of the history of the canal, and also has a clear understanding of the operation mode of the granary.

The grain in these granaries is not only for the distribution of salaries to hundreds of officials and the army, but also for earthquake relief and price control in disaster years.

According to the set of sorting methods taught to him by Su Lu on weekdays, Zhao Zhongjun counted the sources and routes of the grain, and went to the field to take a look at the seedlings that had just been planted. Not only did he learn to distinguish between a seedling and a wheat seedling, but he also learned what steps it takes to turn a sown seed into grain in a cellar.

Although even an ordinary farmer can explain this process in a straightforward way, it is an eye-opener for Zhao Zhongjun.

Now in Zhao Zhongjun's heart, the rice and noodles in the bowl are no longer ordinary and boring, and every bite is quite wonderful, because he will consider where the crystal rice and fine rice noodles came from, whether they were transported directly by land by long waterway.

Distinguishing where each ingredient came from has become Zhao Zhongjun's pleasure when eating, and if he could guess it, he would be happy to add two bowls of rice.

There is a local ambition in hand, and the person in charge wants to find the Luocang ruins is still very simple, he circled a site that is connected by land and water and organized people to excavate.

Su Lu and his entourage set off early to see the excavation.

The country's large-scale granary is basically arranged underground, and the person in charge invited experienced workers to come over to excavate, and also used archaeological excavation tools specially created by Su Chen.

Before noon, a grain cellar in Huiluocang has been excavated, and there are more than 700 such grain cellars, which belongs to the type with convenient transportation.

Su Lu and the others didn't feel bored, and followed the workers to go in from time to time, and soon saw that there was still some grain piled up in this grain cellar!

In the early Sui and Tang dynasties, it has been two or three hundred years to say the least, and the grain in it is naturally impossible to be as intact as ever, but Su Lu looked at the entire warehouse from the inside to the outside, and found that it was more well preserved than the grain cellars excavated in later generations. After all, there are still more than a thousand years to come, and many grain cellars may collapse if they are not protected!

The inscription bricks inlaid at the bottom of the grain cellar have also been dug out, and it is written that this is the number of warehouses, the types, origins, quantities, managers, etc. of the stored grain, and the data is very detailed, which is a rare historical material.

Zhao Zhongyun and a few people came up curiously, looking at the neat lines of words on it by the light shining in from outside, and finally recognized the unfamiliar name on it.

Hundreds of years ago, there was a petty official who diligently managed this warehouse, repeating the work of leaving and entering the warehouse every year.

Zhao Zhongjun looked at the unheard of names above, and suddenly understood in his heart: people like them? Maybe it's what Su Lu called "gravel".

Is this the case with petty officials? This is true of the great officials, and the same is true of the emperor.

Only good enough people? In order to make future generations firmly remember? The rest is grit!

But without this piece of gravel, there would be no era as they know it now.

Su Lu didn't have such a deep understanding as Zhao Zhongjiao? He turned his head and muttered to Zhang Yunrou: "I heard that every time a craftsman makes something, he has to engrave his name on it?" In the future, if I don't become an official, I'm going to make something new to sell? Secretly engrave my name on everything. Thousands of years later, many people are vying to auction antiques with my name on them! ”

Zhang Yunrou said: "Does antiques refer to ancient treasures? ”

Su Lu nodded.

He said with great interest: "When we get married in the future, we can engrave our names together, so that people in the future will guess what the relationship between us is, whether we are husband and wife, whether we are particularly affectionate, etc." ”

Zhang Yunrou stopped squeaking.

A girl who hasn't left the cabinet? After all, I'm still embarrassed to talk about things after marriage.

They haven't even decided on their relatives now!

Zhao Zhongjun was originally understanding life? Seeing Su Lu and the two whispering next to each other, he remembered his guess again. He couldn't help but ask Su Lu, "What are you talking about?" ”

Su Lu didn't hide it, and told Zhao Zhongjun about his new ideas.

Later, he asked people to make a bunch of treasures and find a way to sell them all over the Great Song Dynasty, and there will be his legends everywhere in the future!

Zhao Zhongjun was silent for a while.

Is he Su Xian because he likes men? Do you think that you may not have any offspring, so you want to pass on yourself to future generations in this way?

Is this so sad? But while being sad, I couldn't help but be a little moved.

How many people in the world can be as determined to break through the barriers of the world as he is Su Xian, and desperate to know the people he loves?

Zhao Zhongyan said with a stunned expression: "Brother Su Xian? You don't have to be like this, you will definitely be able to go down in history as a big official in the future! ”

Su Lu was looked at by Zhao Zhongyun.

Brothers? Your eyes are strange in a few ways.

But? The future emperor said that he would definitely be able to become a great official? Does it count as Chrysostom? If he doesn't do it in the future, can he use this sentence to ask him for a slaughter?

Thinking of his great future, Su Lu suddenly became energetic again, and walked around to find the person in charge to provide his own advice.

For example, how to display the structure of the grain cellar in an all-round way, how to build the canal cultural exhibition hall, how to strengthen and protect the grain cellar that has been excavated, etc., these are all rotten in later generations, and Su Lu can casually describe the whole process.

The person in charge heard of this model for the first time, and he nodded and admired it again and again, and kept recording Su Lu's words. With the framework given by Su Lu, they only need to start work according to the charter!

Now that even the grain cellar has been dug up, all that remains is to engage in infrastructure, there is nothing new and interesting, and they are not ready to continue to follow up.

Su Lu and several people said goodbye to the person in charge and came to the edge of the Qianjiang River.

Su Lu looked at the passenger ships and cargo ships coming and going on the river, and asked Zhao Zhongqi with a smile: "Do you guess this is far away from Brother Shen and them?" ”

Zhao Zhongjun was stunned by Su Rong's question.

Shenlin's village is also a good place for land and water, the village is near the mountain and the river, if you count it, you should be able to reach it along the river. I'm afraid it won't take much time to walk by water!

Now Su Lu persuaded Wen Yanbo to hold an exhibition here, and when tourists come here, they can go down the river to Shen Lin and their village as guests!
