Chapter 321: Rare Guest

The broken bridge in Liuzhou is full of snow, and the beautiful scenery is full of fame. Quan Benhang did not go to Hangzhou to watch Gan Xizai's foot quality for a long time, but he didn't have a chance to see it. However, in the era of extremely developed information, Xiucai does not go out, but it is no longer a dream to know that the world is no longer a dream, and it is no stranger to the scenery and allusions of the broken bridge.

It is said that as early as the Tang Dynasty, the broken bridge has been built, the origin of the name is also varied, one said that the road of the lonely mountain was broken here, so it was named, one said that the broken bridge was originally called Duanjia Bridge, and then took the homonym for the broken bridge, one said that the heavy snow stopped at the beginning, and the bridge deck was covered with snow, as if it was broken from it, so it was called the broken bridge.

In later generations, the broken bridge was famous all over the world, in addition to its beautiful scenery, largely thanks to a moving legend, but when immersive, Chu Zhen deeply despised the director of the TV series, the broken bridge is obviously a flat stone bridge, how to get to the TV, but it has become a high-hole ring hole bridge, and it is actually a few points higher than the modern overpass.

But as Liu Renzhi said. When there is no snow, no matter how you look at it, the broken bridge is just an ordinary stone bridge, which divides the West Lake into two, the east is the outer lake, the west is the inner lake, all the blue waves of the lake, the scenery can not be called wonderful.

When the time comes, I will definitely bring Chu'er here to enjoy the beautiful scenery of this bridge, and when Chu Zhen thinks about it, his irritable mood is really relieved a lot.

However, some things are not subject to the will of man, whether the mood is comfortable or impetuous, it did not make any difference, and it took a morning for a dozen craftsmen and the people to almost climb the bank of the white embankment, but still did not find the entrance to the culvert, in vain, and was so tired that he was panting and sweating profusely.

Looking up at the scorching sun, which was gradually scorching, Liu Renzhi said: "According to the opinion of the lower officials, if they did not make a mistake in judgment and the entrance of the culvert was really near here, there is no doubt that it must have been blocked by silt. ”

Chu Zhen nodded lightly, turned sideways to the three elders of the fishing village and said: "Hard work, everyone, delayed for a long time, but nothing has been gained, the official is quite ashamed, this matter has not been done, the official will deal with it, please disperse first, go back to the village to ask the elders whether the entrance to the culvert is really here, if there is a different statement, you must report to the county government as soon as possible." ”

The people also know that the matter was not done in the end, not because people did not contribute, but because they really couldn't find it, and it was not a fault of people, of course, there would be no complaints, and the reputation of Chu Qian's love for the people gradually spread farther and bigger, and the people of Wang Village naturally heard about it, and they were still more convinced of his words, and they returned to the village one after another.

Wait for the people of the fishing village to go away. Liu Renzhi tried to ask: "My lord, you see me waiting."

"Let's go back to the city and have lunch. Then go down to the situation of the inlet of the six wells. Chu Zhen said: "As for this place, send someone to verify whether the culvert is nearby." ”

After all, some things can't be solved in a hurry, and if the entrance to the well water culvert is not there, then it is useless to recruit people and craftsmen to hollow out all the places.

Of course, the officials had no opinion on Chu Qian's arrangement, and when they heard that they were going back to the city for dinner, the happiest were naturally the craftsmen, who ran back to the lake to wash the dirt on their bodies, and they didn't care that their clothes were soaked, anyway, the sun was like fire, and they were dried after a few steps.

Walk from the broken bridge, walk a few minutes, the opposite side is Hangzhou City, but unfortunately across a West Lake, but also go around half a circle to return to the city, from time to time you can see a few small boats leisurely past, in fact, the scribe wants to say hello, take a boat back to the city, but Chu Zhen seems to be thinking about something, a pensive face buried in walking, they see this, of course, do not dare to disturb at will, no matter how tired they are, they can only endure.

Soon after, when everyone entered the city, they did not return to the yamen, but found a restaurant of decent size on the street and hurriedly settled lunch. Then he didn't rest, and went straight to Qiantang Gate.

Looking through the historical materials all night, Liu Renzhi still gained a lot, figured out the ins and outs of the six wells, and naturally knew that the water outlet of the six wells was in the area of Qiantang Gate and Kinmen, which was not far from Hangzhou City, but there was also a distance, and after reaching the destination, it was also half an hour.

Relatively speaking, Rokujing is very important to the state city, the historical records are relatively accurate, and there are many people who know the terrain here. Therefore, when everyone came to the waters near Qiantang Gate, they did not have to search hard, but just groped for a piece of mystery in the water, and immediately found the inlet made of bricks and stones.

"How?. Liu Renzhi heard the news. Ohki asked, "Is there a blockage?" ”

"No, it's just a few weeds floating around the edge of the entrance, but it doesn't affect the flow of water into the lake." The craftsman said loudly, and without waiting for Liu Renzhi's instructions, he dived into the water and scraped the weeds

Seeing this, Liu Renzhi smiled and nodded, obviously satisfied with the craftsman's clever watch, turned his head, but found that Chu Zhen frowned, his expression seemed to be a little wrong, and he couldn't help but ask: "My lord, but what did you find wrong?" ”

"It's fine." Chu Zhen shook his head slightly, and said softly: "Clean up the weeds, let's go back." ”

As soon as you hear about it, you can go back. The craftsmen in the water were immediately full of energy, and they held their breath and sank in the water, until they had cleared all the weeds before they surfaced, and after only a few inlets into the water, they were already busy and returned to the shore.

Chu Zhi did not break his promise, and led the crowd back to the Yamen, but on the way back, he asked Liu Renzhi for information about Hangzhou water conservancy, and he didn't feel strange about Renzhi at this moment, thinking that he wanted to understand the situation first, and then start to deal with the affairs of the slag village.

"So little?" Looking at the information books in front of him, Chu Zhen felt a little strange: "That's all?" ”

"It's only been the last two or three years." Knowing that he seemed to understand the meaning of the wrong thing, Liu Renzhi hurriedly remedied: "There are still many in the treasury, but I don't know which ones the adults want?"

"Take it all, Chu Zhen said.

"All?" Liu Renzhi's eyes widened in surprise, and he stopped talking.

"Well, as long as it is related to Hangzhou Water Conservancy, no matter which dynasty or generation, take it." Chu Zhen nodded and said, "The more detailed the information, the better." ”

"If that's the case, sir. I'm afraid there's a lot of information. Liu Renzhi gestured down the room and reminded: "It can occupy almost half of this place." ”

"It doesn't matter, just take it." Chu Zhen waved his hand and said.

Seeing that Chu Zhen had made up his mind, Liu Renzhi did not insist on seeing it, and acted according to the order, and after nearly half an hour, he returned with more than a dozen officials, and at the same time there were eight huge boxes, which were displayed in turn in the house, and the houses were filled to the brim, and there was no gap for walking, so he could only step on the boxes.

Even if you are a little prepared. Chu Zhen couldn't help but be startled, and opened a box, only to see that it was full of books and pages. It seems that it has been put for a long time, and a stale flavor pill "came with it." Fortunately, the county scribe may be more protective of books, every three or five wrists, once taken out to cool, the storage is not bad, at least there are no incomplete pages, pests and rats, and there is no dust and spider silk.

However, Chu Zhen didn't rejoice for a long time, and began to be depressed, the books are relatively complete and complete, but the problem is that they are placed very messily, and there are not many rules at all, not to mention the classification of Suosheng, even the year is inconsistent, the same box, but the information in it may not be of the same dynasty.

It seemed that he also sensed Chu Qian's embarrassment, Liu Ren stepped forward and said: "My lord, there is an old official in the yali, who is usually responsible for the custody of the books and materials in the box, and knows the location of it well. ”

As he spoke, a scrivener with a gray beard stood up from the side, saluted, and said, "I have seen my lordship." ”

Chu Zhen didn't doubt it, it was true or not. After a try, he said: "This official wants to check the documents that originally recorded the West Lake." ”

The old scribe thought slightly, and immediately said confidently: "In the third box, in the seventh book on the lower left, there is an account of Qiantang Lake in the Fang Zhi of Qiantang in the Han Dynasty. ”

The name of the West Lake was handed down from the Tang Dynasty, and it was generally called Qiantang Lake before the Tang Dynasty, and Chu Zhen also had some understanding of this situation, and at the same time according to the instructions of the old scribe, he found the book, flipped through it for a while, and really found that the above record of Qiantang Lake, although there were only a few lines of words, but this shows that the old scribe has an amazing memory, and is familiar with the books in the box.

"Good." Chu Zhen praised him greatly, but before the old scribe was happy and modest, and the scribe next to him was honored, he listened to Chu Zhen continue: "But this official usually likes to read along the way, and it is appropriate to be quiet, and he doesn't like people next to him, so I have to trouble you, find more officials to come and help the official sort out the books." ”

No matter ancient or modern, the leader's hobby is always the truth pursued by his subordinates, even if there is a grudge in his heart, he must show a happy obedience on the surface, and as the saying goes, the superior moves his mouth, the subordinate runs errands, and the words are not rough. Since your boss vetoed your plan and made your own request, how could the scribes not dare to obey it.

And there was no need to mobilize at all, not only the county government clerks were all dispatched. Even the officials who can roughly read and hyphenate are running to help, eight huge boxes, which seem to be very numerous, but the ancient books and materials are not like modern times. A single page can be densely packed with thousands of words. Under the premise of limited printing technology, it is already good to write three or five hundred words.

Therefore, a book can be divided into several volumes, especially a tome like Dream of Red Mansions, which really needs to be printed. At least half a box of space can be filled.

"First separate the books and materials one by one according to the dynasty" Under the command of Chu Zhen, the scribes and officials gave full play to the spirit of not being afraid of hardship and tiredness, and it took half a day. It wasn't until the sky gradually darkened, the county government held candles to illuminate, and a waning moon appeared in the air, that the materials in the box were sorted out.

"The official has prepared a banquet, just waiting for you to be seated." At this time, Chu Zhen smiled and said, be kind. If you want the horse to run fast, it is naturally indispensable to add food and ingredients, and he still understands this common sense.

The delicacies are not cooked by the county cooks, but are ordered to buy from the famous buildings in the city, put them in the kitchen and warm them over a low fire, and they are still steaming when they are served, especially on the table, the fragrant wine has been warmed, and the tempting aroma comes to the nose, which makes some people's throats feel relished and choked.

After this meal, the resentment in the hearts of some people suddenly disappeared, after all, the classified books are not tired and tired, at most they are more cumbersome, and the county magistrates are knowledgeable and interesting, good wine and food are not something that can be enjoyed at any time, who is embarrassed to hold grudges.

In the next few days, when the county officials thought that Chu Zhen would stay in the room to read those books and materials, or collect people to solve the problem of well water in fishing villages, things were beyond their expectations, and suddenly, Chu Zhen seemed to become very busy, leaving early and returning late every day, taking a few scribes around the suburbs of Hangzhou, mountains and rivers.

Later, the situation changed, and there were many scribes, who recruited a few servants who were good at kneading sugar mud noodles to accompany them, and found a quiet house in the corner of the county government for the tricksters to enter and exit, and strictly ordered idlers not to enter. The officials in the yali were naturally a little inexplicable, and they had the heart to inquire, but they didn't dare to ask Chu Qian, and they knocked on the side of the scribes who accompanied them, but unfortunately they kept silent, so no one knew what Chu Zhen was busy with.

At noon on this day, Chu Zhen led the team back in a hurry, and he didn't know if he had eaten lunch, so he was about to go to the courtyard, but was stopped by Liu Renzhi: "My lord, Shen Gongzi has been waiting in the study for a long time. ”

"Ruida is here. It's really a rarity. Chu Zhen smiled in surprise.

Shen Liao, as Chu Qian's staff, has no appearance of a staff member at all, unless Chu Zhen has something to ask for, he rarely sets foot in the yamen half a step in normal times, and it is even rarer to take the initiative to come here today, which is not unusual for everyone. After all, everyone knows that the so-called staff is actually just a joke, Chu Zhen treats Shen Liao as a friend, and the county officials also know Shen Liao's details, so they don't dare

Times.

"You guys go get busy first." Chu Zhen said, waved his hand to let a few servants go first, sorted out his appearance, and strolled towards the study.

In the study, after sorting, the huge box was too crowded, and the books and materials that had been carried away were placed on the newly added shelves, and Shen Liao leaned lightly on the shelf, casually pulled out a book and read it carefully, and saw Chu Zhen walking in, his eyes were slightly raised, his gaze swept slightly, and he didn't even say hello halfway, and lowered his head to continue reading.

Habit becomes nature. Of course, Chu Zhen didn't mind, sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and tasted it leisurely.

"Listen to them. These books are arranged according to your instructions. After a while, Shen Liao closed the book in his hand slightly, carefully put it on the shelf, and then strode to Chu Zhen and sat down.

"yes, what's wrong?" Chu asked with a smile. The book seems to be relatively simple. ”

Chu Zhen chuckled, looked up at the labels that had been pasted on the shelf, and arranged them in an orderly manner according to the dynasty, the emperor's year name, mountains, rivers, fields, etc., and felt a little comfortable.

I haven't been to Hangzhou. The above situation in Hangzhou is pure speculation, do not take it seriously.
