After Gu Kezhi was old for a while, Chu Zhen found that the direction he was going was neither the state government council and the study of Fan Zhongyan's house, but the backyard of the yatang, and couldn't help asking: "Lord Shuo, is it too shou is not in the yazhong?" ”

Gu Kezhi explained: "I heard that Taishou was unwell, and the monks and great masters of various famous temples in Xianshan such as Yongming Zen Temple and Jingci Temple came to visit, and now they are discussing the Buddhist scriptures with Taishou in the backyard. \、\”

Chu Zhen nodded slightly, and did not feel strange, although Fan Zhongyan's life and deeds, such as governing the country, being an official, governing the border, and revitalizing learning, were all guided by Confucianism, which can be said to be worthy of the sages and sages, and learning to help the world, and later generations think that he is the only one in history who can achieve the unity of knowledge and action, and embody the Confucian spirit in action.

However, in the Northern Song Dynasty, Confucianism was the mainstream culture, but since the Wei and Jin dynasties, after hundreds of years of propaganda and infection, especially by some emperors, it has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

At that time, the atmosphere was like this, and Fan's mother was also a Buddhist, Changzhai Buddha for 20 years, and the friends and acquaintances around him were also people who believed in Buddhism, Fan Zhongyan was naturally affected, and he had contacts with many well-known monks in his life, and the two terms of Hangzhou, naturally had a shallow relationship with the monks of Hangzhou's famous temples, which was also one of the reasons why he was able to say that those monks and great virtues were building in the barren years.

In reality, he looked at Buddhism from a rational and practical standpoint, based on the national economy and people's livelihood, and discussed things on a case-by-case basis, and had written many times to limit the development of Buddhism, never being affected by personal feelings.

Walking into the backyard, Chu Zhi found a few monks with fat heads and big ears, or skinny roaring, sitting next to Fan Zhongyan, who was dressed in regular clothes, silent and silent, with different forms, but each with an inexplicable temperament, there were a few cups of tea on the seat, and the smoke curled, giving Chu Zhi a quiet and indifferent impression, and subconsciously slowed down, lest he destroy this artistic conception.

"I am entangled in mundane things, and I can't always be idle." Glancing at Chu Zhen's figure, Fan Zhongyan, who was quietly listening to a senior monk preaching Zen, did not speak, waiting for the monk to finish a piece of Zen teaching, and then said apologetically: "The old man is temporarily absent for a while, you don't have to pay attention to it." It's self-contained. ”

When Fan Zhongyan got up, several monks didn't move at all, just bowed their heads slightly to show their understanding, and continued to listen to the monk's lecture, as if Fan Zhongyan was just a foil passerby, and it didn't matter if he had him or not.

"Taishou." Chu Zhen stepped forward and saluted, his voice a little slight.

"Let's go to the old man's study." Fan Zhongyan said, without the meaning of being surprised.

Surrounded by a group of officials, Fan Zhongyan crossed the curtain door from the backyard, turned a corner, walked a few steps through a corridor, and came to the study. ”

Just as he was about to speak, Chu Zhen raised his head and looked at Fan Zhongyan. After looking carefully, I found that his complexion was indeed a little bad, his face showed a hint of blue, and his eyes were more pale than before, although his voice was quite loud, but he lacked a little bit of neutral qi, especially when he was walking just now, his speed was slow and his steps were faltering, which made Chu Zhi very much want to step forward to help.

"Why don't you speak, see what the old man is for." Fan Zhongyan said, his breath surged, and he couldn't help coughing lightly, causing others to be nervous.

"Doctor

I didn't know who was calling, but I asked Fan Zhongyan to open his mouth and wave his hand to stop it, smoothed his chest, and said lightly: "The old man is fine, don't make a fuss." ”

"Taishou, the weather is getting colder, pay attention to buy a few more clothes, so as not to get stained; nbsp;。 Chu Zhen said softly, and before he could say a few words about wind and cold, he saw Fan Zhongyan become serious and upright.

"You came to the state government for these trivial things, if so, you can go." Fan Zhongyan's tone was a little unkind: "In the life of the old man, he hates not doing his business the most, just for the sake of slapping horses." ”

The words are all this, Chu Zhen is not good to say anything else, remembering his intentions, temporarily let go of his worries, and solemnly arched his hand and said: "Taishou, the West Lake is in danger." ”

When the officials and servants next to them heard this, they were suddenly stunned, secretly speculating whether Chu Zhen was making a fuss to make a fuss and make a noise, you must know that in their cognition, if the Qiantang River tide broke the dam turbulently, they still believed it, but more than 30 miles wide, the West Lake, which is usually calm, could not have any unexpected situation.

However, Fan Zhongyan was obviously very calm, and asked lightly, "Why do you say this?" ”

"A few days ago, the official puppet was patrolling outside the city, and suddenly found that the well water in a certain Dancun was different, so he carefully investigated and found that the cause was that the water diversion culvert was not passable; nbsp;。 "Chu Zhen is not alarmist, of course there is evidence, but before that, of course, you have to explain the cause and effect.

When he said that he was afraid that the six wells would be the same, and deliberately went to the waters near Qiantang Gate to Shujun, Fan Zhongyan nodded secretly, but asked quietly: "Since the six wells in the city are fine, then why don't you recruit civil servants as soon as possible to Shujun Shuijun Dancun well outside the city, and you don't work in the county office, but you are traveling outside the mountains and wading through the water, and suddenly come here to make alarmist words." ”

From a few sentences, it can be known that Fan Zhongyan attaches great importance to Chu Qian, and he pays more attention to his every move, after all, Hangzhou Zhixian is not only Chu Qian" But in addition to Chu Qian, I didn't see him show concern for any of them.

For a while, Chu Zhen didn't think about it so much, and even if he did, he didn't have time to be complacent, and when he heard Fan Zhongyan's question, he hurriedly turned sideways and waved his hand back, and his own entourage walked quickly to present the prepared information.

"When in Qiantang Gate, Xiaguan found that although the water intake of the six wells was not blocked, but the situation of the water area where the inlet is located is not optimistic, the silt is thick, the water and weeds are dense, after returning to the Ya, the Xiaguan specially checked the historical materials, but found that the water surface of the West Lake is decreasing, and in the long run, after dozens of years, I am afraid that there is no more name of West Lake in the world." Chu Zhen said, handing over the West Lake information he had collected in recent days to Fan Zhongyan.

Is Chu Zhen deliberately exaggerating to attract Fan Zhongyan's attention, there is a point, but it is not completely impossible for the West Lake to disappear, he is not doing white work during this time, he will dig out the historical materials, books, and maps recorded in the West Lake from the Qin and Han dynasties, and then list a time chronology, as long as it is slightly compared, this conclusion can be drawn.

You must know that the West Lake is actually a bay, but it has been washed by the sea for many years, and the sediment accumulates into a pile of land, which is Hangzhou, the bay is blocked by the land, and after years of evolution, it naturally slowly becomes a lake, but for the lake, because of the four obstacles and the process of the cycle of things, "the sediment will occur, and the bottom of the lake will continue to become shallow, and finally the lake will be swamped, and the swamp will be flat from the swamp, which is the swamp process of the lake.

West Lake will certainly be no exception, and if nothing else, if no one halts the swamping of West Lake, it will one day become land, but with the development of Hangzhou. Population increases. The economy is prosperous, and its status has been paid more and more attention by successive dynasties. As long as there are interests, further development and utilization is inevitable, so there will be six wells in the Tang Dynasty. Bai Juyi's governance of West Lake and Shujun Liujing happened.

However, a hundred years after Bai Juyi's Shujun Liujing. The West Lake has another box grass vine. The bottom of the lake is shallow and the area is shrinking, but it was in the period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and the capital of Wuyue was Hangzhou. Engaged in the thinning work of the West Lake day and night effectively stopped the siltation of the West Lake and unblocked the six wells.

Obviously, the hard work was not done in vain, and Chu Zhi said endlessly: "It has been more than 70 years since the date of the dedication of King Wuyue. Among them, there are many virtuous shepherds and good guards, all of whom follow the will of Bai Gong, and take Shujun West Lake and unblocked six wells as the key points of governance, such as Jingde four, Zhizhou Wang Ji. Not only did the whole lake be dredged, but a sluice weir was built in the West Lake. There is also too much to guard you; nbsp;。 ”

"Needless to say, how dare the old man compare with his predecessors." Fan Zhongyan waved his hand and said, "Since there is such an effect, then why do you still say that the West Lake must be in danger?" "I know what I have done, and the first two times I was in Hangzhou, I did a lot of practical things for the people. But it has nothing to do with West Lake,

"Having said that, it has been 30 years since Zheng Jian's large-scale lake control in Zhizhou, but the siltation of the West Lake is an endless process of accumulation over time." Chu Zhi said helplessly: "Especially the heavy rain some time ago, it washed a lot of sediment into the lake. If it is left unattended, after a few decades, the scene of three autumn laurels and ten miles of lotus flowers will no longer exist. ”

Decades later, things seem to be very far away, after all, among the officials present, I don't know how many people will live to that time, anyway, Fan Zhongyan will definitely be impossible, there is no doubt about this. And all of them knew it in their hearts.

"It's not alarmist. Decades from now, who knows if it will happen, and even if it does, I don't know if people are still there, and they don't care about what they do. ”

Among the officials present, there must be people who think so, but if Fan Zhongyan's vision is also so short-sighted, then he is not the Fan Zhongyan in Chu Zhen's mind.

"Then how are you going to govern West Lake?" Fan Zhongyan asked, the implication is very clear, don't just know how to ask questions, but there is no solution to it, then his evaluation of Chu Zhen will be lowered.

Chu Zhen smiled slightly, feeling that this was a matter of course. At that moment, he turned around and waved his hand: "Lift it up." ”

In fact, as early as when Chu Zhifeng's team came to the state office, many people were very interested in the things brought by his subordinates, but unfortunately they guessed for a long time, but they didn't know what was covered by the thick veil.

At this time, Gu Kezhi next to him chuckled and said, "Fan Gong." This Chu Zhixian is so ignorant that he doesn't even choose a good time to give gifts. ”

Knowing that this was a joke, Fan Zhongyan stroked his beard and smiled silently, but it was really like that. He was not stingy with teaching Chu Zhi well on behalf of He She.

After a few moments, a few attendants carefully lowered one five feet long and two feet wide. Covered with gauze, the items resembling a square-shaped box were slowly brought in, placed in the house, and bowed slightly and withdrew.

Chu Zhen was not in the mood to brew a mysterious atmosphere, and directly stepped forward to open the gauze, which was really a wooden box, using the most ordinary wood, Sichuan Table did not have any ornamentation, simple, no surprise at all, everyone knew that the mystery was in the box, and they all opened their eyes wide, and looked at Chu Qian's movements without blinking.

Gold, silver, jewelry, or priceless antiques, calligraphy and paintings, there are officials who are not moved by external objects, and they feel that there should still be books and materials inside, in their hearts. Whether it is Fan Zhongyan or Chu Qian, they are both clean officials with clean sleeves and honest and honest officials, how can they do such bad things.

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Chu Zhen opened the lid of the box, and a bright color passed in their eyes.

"It is."

"It's not like the mortal world, it's not a fairyland."

"Qiong Lou Yuyu."

After the exclamations, some officials came closer to watch, sighing in their mouths. Intoxicated by the wonderful scenery in front of him, after half a ring, he still didn't have the intention of waking up, and Chu Zhen was a little puzzled, it was just a miniature landscape, is it necessarily so surprised.

I saw three or five feet in the box, but in front of everyone is the legendary fairy palace jade, que, the mountains are undulating, lush, beautiful and natural, the clear lake on one side is blue like washing, the mountain is accompanied by the water is a city, the layout of the houses in the city is clearly visible, vaguely some familiar.

"This is the state government." Suddenly, someone pointed to one place and said, everyone came back to their senses in a trance, and found that it was Fan Zhongyan who spoke, and then looked at the situation on both sides, and actually stood side by side with Taishou, startled, and hurriedly took a few steps back, but his eyes did not leave the scene in front of him.

"Too good for your eyes." Chu Zhen said with a smile, if he hadn't watched the landscape take shape, he might not have been able to find out the location of the state government in a short time.

"How did this work?" Fan Zhongyan said lightly, but his heart was far from being as calm as it seemed, after a long time on the battlefield, he could see at a glance the wonderful use of this thing for marching battles.

"It's easy." Chu Zhen said with a smile: "Find a few, pinch the sugar man, rub the dough into a mountain, accumulate water into a river, if it is not for the hurry, the landscape can be made more refined." ”

Of course, it is easy to say, but it is not easy to do, there are mountains, lakes and cities, and there are many exquisiteness in the capacitive ratio between the mud and water. Fortunately, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and with the encouragement of Qian Bao, the tricksters quickly found a way to solve this problem.

"This is Hangzhou City?" Hearing the conversation between Fan Zhongyan and Chu Zhen, someone finally came to his senses and exclaimed in amazement, which seemed a little unbelievable.

"It's really the city of Hangzhou, here is the Qiantang River embankment, Kinmen, Yamennbsp; nbsp;。 ”… Pointing to the familiar scenery and buildings, someone sighed: "But I never realized that Hangzhou was like this." ”

This is inevitable, look at the floor plan and three-dimensional items feel naturally different, look at the river, the river is close at hand, clear, intuitive, and all in the grasp, there is a kind of pleasure of pointing the country, for anyone is an indescribable temptation.
