After Wang Shouren returned to the county office, he went straight to the main hall.

In the main hall, there was already a man in a blue official robe sitting, and when he heard the footsteps, he was about to get up, but he saw that it was Wang Shouren, and then sat back again.

This person is Xiao Ding, the magistrate of Shanyin County, who is the ninth year of Hongzhi, and was assigned to the county of Sanyin after winning the Jinshi, and this year is the fourth year.

Xiao Ding's luck is not good, he has also read sage books since he was a child, and he was not confused when he ascended to Tianzi Hall.

At such an age, compared to those who are in high school at a young age, they have lost a lot of opportunities.

Wang Shouren didn't care about Xiao Ding's actions, and greeted with a smile: "Xiao Zhixian." ”

Xiao Ding's attitude was quite cold, and a slight increase in his hand was considered a response.

Wang Shouren sat down straight and asked straight to the point: "Xiao Zhixian came here for the matter of Liuhe, right?" ”

Xiao Jing's attitude was still cold, and he didn't answer Wang Shouren's question, but asked: "This county came in person, and I waited here for nearly half an hour, but you Xie Zhixian have not seen anyone for a long time, why?" This county is not qualified to see you Xie Zhi County. ”

In fact, you can't blame others for being unforgiving.

The magistrate and the magistrate have a dialogue, that is equal treatment, the magistrate of the county personally came to visit, but after waiting for a long time but only waiting for a county, can you not be angry?

Regarding Xiao Ding's questioning, Wang Shouren still replied with a smile like a spring spring: "Xiao Zhixian has misunderstood, Xie Zhixian is studying a solution to the drought situation in the county, and the affairs in the county will be temporarily handed over to the next place." ”

Xiao Ding is not young, but he is very angry, and he said with a red face: "Don't prevaricate this county like this." ”

Xiao Ding was angry, but Wang Shouren said unhurriedly: "How about this, Xiao Zhi County, our county irrigates every other day, and the rest of the time is used for irrigation in Shanyin." ”

In fact, when irrigating in the clouds, Shanyin can still get water, that is, the water level will be less, Wang Shouren deliberately set aside time, and he has already retreated a lot.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ding didn't appreciate it at all, got up and said, "That's it, the county is gone, there is no need to send it." ”

If Xiao Ding leaves like this, then he will also leave.

Unexpectedly, when he returned to the county office, he reported Xie Zhi to the imperial history.

According to the imperial history, Xiang Yuan Kuifeng was ordered to inspect the counties under the jurisdiction of Datong Prefecture.

It's been a while since I arrived at the place, and I'm checking in Shanyin, but I haven't patrolled to the clouds yet.

Originally, the purpose of Xiang Yuankui's inspection was only to inspect the political achievements of each county, but when he happened to encounter a major drought, he could achieve his goal in a more three-dimensional way from the means of dealing with disasters in each county.

It is also easier to accumulate political achievements in such disasters, and as long as there is no major fault and actively responds, it will be much easier to be promoted.

Since the drought began to appear, the magistrates of several counties he inspected have begun to actively respond, and it is really unusual that even the magistrates of the counties cannot be seen in this way.

After listening to Xiao Ding's complaint, Xiang Yuankui did not delay, and directly transferred to Yunzhong.

Wang Shouren had just dealt with Xiao Ding, but there was a patrol press who came to the door.

The patrol is no better than other counties, and as long as the etiquette is done to deal with other counties, it is necessary to have a lot of spirit to deal with the patrol.

Wang Shouren hurried back to the county office, and after saluting Xiang Yuankui, he took the lead in reporting: "According to Xiang Xun, this county is leading the water of the Liuhe River to irrigate part of the farmland first, and the rest of the manpower is also digging wells and repairing canals. ”

Drought fighting is now a top priority.

Xiang Yuankui was not satisfied with Wang Shouren's explanation, and asked, "What about Xie Zhixian?" ”

Wang Shouren explained: "The magistrate said that there is a kind of thing that is paved in the ditch to save water, and it is being studied. ”

Wang Shouren understands Xie Zhi and can trust Xie Zhi unconditionally.

Xiang Yuankui is different, how can he be convinced by only listening to Wang Shouren's explanation.

Besides, you haven't even figured out that thing, how can you know that you can save water in the ditch, isn't this fooling people?

Xiang Yuankui said coldly: "There is such a big drought in the county, Xie Zhi, as a magistrate, does not lead the people to fight the drought, but is tinkering with things that have no shadow, is it still like a magistrate?" ”

The contents of the report were to be presented directly to the emperor and courtiers.

In response to Xiang Yuankui's questioning, Wang Shouren hurriedly defended: "Xiang Xun, the current drought fighting in the county is arranged by the county, and if what the county is doing now, at least half of the water can be saved for irrigation. ”

In this matter, Xiang Yuankui did not refuse, and followed Wang Shouren directly to see the operation of the windmill.

After looking at it, he didn't say much, but after a few more glances in other places, he left the clouds.

When he was in the clouds, Xiang Yuankui didn't say much, Wang Shouren thought that this matter was fooled, but he didn't think about it, after Xiang Yuankui left the clouds, he told Xie Zhi to the front of the palace.

What passively resisted the drought, what detained the people who went to ask for explanations, anyway, there were many, and only one windmill was used for irrigation, and in these unfavorable words, it became worthless.

Emperor Hongzhi took this excerpt and said to Xiao Jing on the side: "I was waiting for Xie Zhi to think of some way, but he was sued first, his windmill can divert water for irrigation, but it is just a drop in the bucket, and it can't solve a big problem." ”

Then, Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said: "Such a big matter, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have nothing to solve, but I pin my hopes on a young man, and I am a little embarrassed. ”

Emperor Hongzhi was really quite tolerant of Xie Zhi, and Xiao Jing was sometimes quite jealous.

But jealousy is jealousy, but he won't say anything bad about Xie Zhi.

The reason why he was able to eat well among generations of emperors was that he didn't say anything against his will.

"Xie Zhixian was originally born as a literati, but he formed Yunzhongwei and was named an earl, Wenchen has always been knighted, Xie Zhixian has been knighted, this has broken this boundary, since there are many Wenchen who are dissatisfied, plus Xie Gong is upright, and there are many people who have offended, Xie Zhixian has some mistakes, and he will be caught."

The truth is also the truth that Xie Zhi said.

Emperor Hongzhi did not respond, and after a long time, Xiao Jing said tentatively: "Your Majesty, the slave maid heard that there is a word of abolishing the prince among the courtiers..."

Before Xiao Jing finished speaking, the coercion on Emperor Hongzhi suddenly increased a little.

After a pause, Xiao Jing then said: "It is rumored that His Highness is not humble enough to learn, does not pay attention to literati, and is still martial, spoils and treacherous ministers, and does not have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. ”

Emperor Hongzhi had a cold face and didn't say a word.

At the time of Zhu Houzhao's assassination, Emperor Hongzhi guessed that the murderer behind the scenes was related to the clan.

Now that there are such rumors, I can't even doubt this aspect.

From this point of view, since there are such rumors, those who impeach Xie Zhi are not necessarily dissatisfied with Xie Zhi's title and have a grudge against the Xie family.

Emperor Hongzhi said in a deep voice: "Don't be quiet, go to the courtiers who impeached Xie Zhi to investigate in detail to see which clans they are involved with." ”

The previous investigation was only some of the brothers of Emperor Hongzhi, and the farthest away was found to his own uncle.

The purpose of this rumor is not only to elect people from these people to succeed the great unification, but it is clear that the range of people behind the scenes should also be expanded.

Zhu Yuanzhang has twenty-six sons, except for those who have no incense, and there must be at least several thousand now.

None of these people may have the ambition to succeed to the unification.

Just when it was about to turn into a pot of porridge outside, Xie Zhi's cement was finally finished.

In more than ten days, not only the cement was made, but even the windmill that could pump water out of the well was built.

At this time, there is no motor, and it is not realistic to get electricity out.

This windmill is equivalent to a pumping machine, which is used by manpower or wind to maximize the pressure and pump out the well water.

This thing is completely Xie Zhi's imagination, whether it is feasible or needs to be practiced.

Now that you have the idea, you need to do it.

The most important thing to do is labor.

And now the most indispensable thing in the cloud is manpower, and soon, the cement workshop will start construction, and the pumping windmill has been built.
