Since the completion of the construction of the Miyun Reservoir, one of Song Shihui's favorite things to do is to stand on the barrage dam and smoke dry tobacco while smiling at this vast reservoir.

It's such a simple picture of smoke waves, he can see it from morning to night, no matter how he looks at it, he can't get tired of it.

Song Shihui often gets fascinated by watching a picture scroll of the land of fish and rice, and doesn't think about anything or pay attention to anything.

After looking at the half-burnt incense time, Song Shihui suddenly remembered that his teacher was still here, and scratched his head: "Teacher ......"

Zhu Shun looked at this picture scroll of the land of fish and rice, and couldn't help but fall into a trance, and when he heard the apologetic voice of the eldest disciple, he smiled gently: "Don't get in the way, the Miyun Reservoir should have other functions." ”

The eldest disciple Song Shihui nodded solemnly, looked at the canopy boats in the distance and said: "The teacher guessed well, in addition to being used to prevent drought and flood disasters, the Miyun Reservoir also asked Commander Cao to raise fish and shrimp in the reservoir. ”

"The disciple didn't know before, but since he came to the frontier, he only knew how hard the frontier soldiers were suffering."

"It's not enough to just eat those grains, so I want Commander Cao to raise fish, shrimp, turtles and ducks in it, and provide them to the border soldiers in Gubeikou, so that they can eat more meat to nourish their bodies."

Zhu Shun heard what the eldest disciple Song Shihui said, and nodded with a smile, he really wanted to seek some benefits for the border soldiers guarding the gate of the Ming Dynasty.

The suffering of the border army is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, since Cao Dingjiao became the commander of Gubeikou, the border troops of Gubeikou have finally lived a good life of being well fed and clothed, and even eating enough has become a problem in the past.

The annual food and salary issued by the imperial court were partially deducted by the Donglin Party officials before they left the capital.

When the grain is transported to the border city, it will be deducted by the leaders of the major armies, and there is very little grain that can fall into the hands of the border army.

Because Cao Dingjiao has the support of the steam factory and the industrial faction at home, he not only allows the border troops in Gubeikou to have enough to eat, but also gives two military jackets every year.

After the completion of this Miyun Reservoir, life has been better, and you can get some fish soup and duck meat for every meal.

Song Shihui suddenly remembered something, and her expression became a little serious: "Teacher, it has not rained since the beginning of spring. ”

"According to the mathematical model established by the disciples and the students of Jingshi University, it is estimated that there will be another big drought in Shuntianfu this year."

When it comes to drought, Zhu Shun's previous practice was to let the Song mill store more potato flour, but now that the Miyun Reservoir has been built, there is no need to do so.

After the land reform in Miyun County ended, the land was completely in the hands of the industrial faction, and thousands of catties of rice and potatoes have been thoroughly promoted.

The paddy field is used to grow thousands of catties of rice, and the dry land is used to grow potatoes with a yield of more than 20 stone per mu.

When all the kilograms of rice and potatoes in Miyun County are harvested, it will be enough for the people in several northern states and counties of Shuntianfu to eat and drink.

The great strategic significance of the land of Miyun County and the Miyun Reservoir is to provide grain to the border army in Gubeikou, so as to avoid the consumption of grain in the process of transportation.

When the grain is harvested, the crown prince Zhu Cihong will buy the grain from the people at the market price, instead of squeezing the grain in the hands of the people by various means, and then transport it to Gubeikou.

After Song Shihui finished saying this, he then expressed his thoughts: "But with the Miyun Reservoir, the people of Miyun County will be completely out of the bleak situation of relying on the sky for food in the future." ”

"We have the ability to resist natural disasters, and the next step is to speed up the dredging of the canals in the fields and ridges of Miyun County, and dredge all these canals as soon as possible."

"Ensure that the water from the Miyun Reservoir can flow to every field to prevent the crops in the fields from drought."

Song Shihui said this solemnly, because dredging the canal is a very complicated matter, involving the governance of people's livelihood.

This requires not only the cooperation of the magistrate of Miyun County, but also the cooperation of all the squires of Miyun County, so that it is possible to simply dredge all the canals within half a year.

This is also the reason why Song Shihui is anxious to send a message to his teacher, hoping that when the drought is really serious, before the arrival of summer, all the canals in Miyun County will be dredged.

To meet the standards of drought resistance, so as to ensure the grain harvest of the land in Miyun County.

Zhu Shun came over just to see the Miyun Reservoir that the eldest disciple Song Shihui had initially built, and when the eldest disciple Song Shihui mentioned the word drought, he also talked about dredging the canals in Miyun County.

I roughly understood what the eldest disciple Song Shihui meant, and thought to myself that my eldest disciple was really enough to ignore what was going on outside the window, and I didn't know that Miyun County had completed the land reform.

Zhu Shun patted the shoulder of the eldest disciple Song Shihui, and said with a gentle smile: "Let's go, I will take you to meet the future imperial prime minister of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"With his ability to govern the country and secure the country, he must be able to complete the dredging in a very short time."

Zhu Shun left the Miyun Reservoir with his eldest disciple Song Shihui and rode a horse to drive the Miyun County Ya.

The county government is still the same as before, but the atmosphere of the county government has taken on a new look.

Obviously, I feel that there is a vigorous vitality, and a breath can revitalize the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

Walking into the backyard of the county government, the prince Zhu Cihong and Gu Yanwu were in the pavilion, discussing some matters about Miyun County.

Zhu Shun originally wanted the eldest disciple Song Shihui to show his face in front of the prince and let him take the initiative to introduce the situation of the Miyun Reservoir, so that he could also leave a deep impression on the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Song Shihui is a person who doesn't like publicity, and he actually rejected this opportunity that officials couldn't dream of, hoping that his mentor would tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about the situation of the reservoir in Miyun County.

Zhu Shun couldn't resist his eldest disciple Song Shihui, so he had no choice but to tell him about it.

In this way, with Zhu Shun's eloquence, he can leave a deep impression on the heart of the crown prince Zhu Cihong more than Song Shihui said it himself.

Zhu Shun briefly introduced the Miyun Reservoir, and before he finished speaking, the crown prince Zhu Cihong and Gu Yanwu all rushed out.

It's not walking, it's not running.

Rather, rush!

Zhu Shun had already expected that the Miyun Reservoir would have a great impact on the crown prince Zhu Cihong and Gu Yanwu, but he didn't expect this impact to be so big.

The two of them were so eager that they didn't even have time to shout to the guards, and rode directly on Liaodong horses to the Miyun Reservoir in the north.

When the students of the Army Martial Arts Hall saw this situation, they also hurriedly rode on the Liaodong horse, and chased after the Liaodong horse with a whip, so as not to have any accidents with His Royal Highness the Prince.

Zhu Shun stayed in a simple room near the Miyun Reservoir for one night, and came to find the crown prince Zhu Cihong the next day.

When the crown prince Zhu Cihong and Gu Yanwu arrived at the Miyun Reservoir, it happened to be noon with a clear sky.
