Salt, the production and sale of which contains huge profits, is something that is really related to people's livelihood. There are three types of salt production, sea salt, well salt and pool salt, Tianjin Changlu Salt Farm belongs to sea salt, and the production method is frying and drying.

"The water goes down, like the heart of the people...... In the past, the cangs used the blocking method, and Dayu used the division method, which became the reputation of Dayu to control the water...... Those who want to control the water first must first understand the nature of the water: they want it to divide it, they want it to be blocked and blocked, they want it to be combined and combined, and they want it to flow and go straight to it...... This is the so-called ...... according to the situation and local conditions."

Liu Dongsheng read Jia Cong's theory of water control word by word, and in terms of theory, it is to understand nature and conform to the laws of nature. Regularity cannot be reversed, only it can be discovered and exploited. Jia Cong elaborated on the role of harnessing water to attack sand, remote embankments, and reducing dams.

Liu Dongsheng patrolled according to Ji Fu, and the river is something that must be supervised sooner or later, especially the two behind Jia Cong, which are in Liu Dongsheng's heart: the river military system and the outgoing responsibility system of river officials.

He is a well-read Jinshi, not only proficient in the art of making, the Ming Dynasty's river control project, corruption is rampant, and the people are tired of servitude, he has seen it in the history books.

Jia Cong's river soldier system was implemented together with the fort husband, the gate husband, and the squirrel, and was allocated by the imperial court and reimbursed by the state treasury. There is no war in the Shun Dynasty now, and it is not a problem for the treasury to bear it. Jia Cong proposed that the local battalion soldiers should serve as the gatekeepers with strong labor, and the people in the pan-area should serve as the fort husbands and the bankers, with the former giving one or five dollars in silver and the latter one or two. And what Wanping is implementing, although it is also funded by the imperial court, the county government is completely apportioned according to the conscription, and the river workers do not get anything, and the enthusiasm for work can be imagined.

The appropriation of the imperial court, the purchase of materials is certain, and some of them are embezzled by officials layer by layer, there is no doubt that the project is corrupt, throughout the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Not to mention how important the system of responsibility for officials leaving office is to the stability of the embankment.

"If you look at the fire, if you are wise and foolish, Jia Cong is ......" Liu Dongsheng muttered to himself: "Jia Zili ......"

Liu Dongsheng stood up and paced around the hall: "The Yongding River is far less than the flooding of the Yellow River, especially in Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu, and Anhui...... Jia Cong's plan is more applicable to the Yellow River...... The one from Henan is about to enter Beijing...... If he saw it, he would be amazed. ”

"Qin Ye, Qin Ye, I'm a little jealous of you, if you have this student, what more can you ask for."

Looking at the second letter, it was a euphemistic request for a salt citation, with the river management plan to start, Liu Dongsheng did not hesitate, repaired a book, and wrote Tianjin to patrol the salt imperial history, within a few days, a legal salt citation was transmitted to Wanping through the post station.

Salt introduction is a business license to sell salt, to whom not to give, many salt patrol imperial history has a relationship with salt merchants. What's more, as long as Jia Cong has one, Liu Dongsheng feels that he is too low-key.

……

A piece of salt in Dashun can be sold for a stone of salt in January, and Kuang Liuhe can hire someone to receive it with the porter of Changlu Salt Farm, and since then, Kuang Liuhe's study and life are not a problem.

As for the scholar doing business, there is no need to worry, he is still a private household, just hire someone to run it, the entire scholar class has this interest, and no one will attack it.

Jia Cong is not worried that Kuang Liuhe is a white-eyed wolf, he has already found out that Kuang Liuhe is loyal, kind, and filial to his mother.

Fan Zhixian adopted his suggestion of "building embankments to contain water and attacking sand with water", and the work of cleaning up sediment was being carried out in an orderly manner, but Fan Lin turned a deaf ear to the remote embankment and water reduction dam proposed by Jia Cong, because the main book reported that the project money could not support such a huge project, and Fan Zhixian had no choice but to give up. Rao is so, Fan Lin also has a blue eye for Jia Cong, these reasonable, practical and practical suggestions, not only relieved his fear, but also can greatly increase his political achievements, next year's official examination is expected to be promoted, Fan Zhixian made up his mind: "As long as Jia Cong can convince the public, I will take him as the head of the case!" ”

200,000 taels of allocation, the sediment accumulation in the county is not more than 30 miles, the widest is only five zhang, but it can't build a dam, burying hidden dangers, this world...... Jia Cong pondered in the inn, it is useless to be indignant, corruption, as long as there are officials, there is no shortage of this thing......

The remote embankment and the dam are very important, at least they can protect themselves from flooding for many years, but if you are as clear as water, it is inevitable that the officials will be as slippery as oil! The entrance of the yamen is open to the south, and there is no reason to come in without money!

Long-term communication with the township and the Ministry of Industry craftsmen, Jia Cong has a detailed understanding of the river control technology of this era, lime and clay have long been used in large quantities, clay is produced in large quantities in Gu'an, and the production technology of the official kiln is also relatively exquisite, so it seems that cement can be made, but this time is not suitable for him.

The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated, for example, the construction of dikes, length, width, and height, they can create reasonable proportions, and there are people who can do it, measure the cross-sectional area of the river, the speed of the water flow, get the water side, and then estimate the water storage capacity of the dam...... This is the wisdom of the broad masses of working people.

……

Wanping County Ya, above the public court, the more diligent Fan Lin is asking the case, the county and the main book are sitting on both sides, and the secretary is recorded at the bottom right.

On both sides of the lobby, the soap of the soap class, wearing soap clothes, holding water and fire sticks, with a serious face, the small people who came in, no matter how bold they were, would be shocked by their majesty, not to mention, there are still many torture instruments placed there on the storage shelf on the right......

After dealing with several civil disputes and about to retreat, Luo Xiucai strode in, and the slaves hugged each other, as if they were in a no-man's land.

Xiucai doesn't have to kneel when he sees the county official, but how to say it, the friendship between teachers and students must at least be polite, Luo Xiucai's move is very rude.

He Xiang Concubine bamboo fan knocked on the big case: "County Zun!" Why did you adopt Jia Cong's child's strategy, but didn't listen to Luo's words? ”

The soap and the secretary on both sides looked at each other, looking at the county master, Fan Lin's face turned red, how could he ask so in court? Luo Xiucai doesn't take the county master in his eyes at all!

"Do I still need your consent to do things?" Fan Lin's eyes squinted, even if he discussed, he had to be private, subtle and tactful...... Luo Guoqi's move was too faceless for him.

On the right side of the case, there is a small bamboo tube, and there are dozens of orders in the bamboo tube. Fan Lin picked up one of them and scolded: "Luo Guoqi, disturbing the public court and despising the majesty of the court, do you think this official will not dare to arrest you?" ”

The county and the main book pressed one after another: "County Zun, think twice!" ”

"Catch me? Here you go! Luo Guoqi smiled gently, paced with white soap boots, walked up in a grand manner, and blasted away the county Cheng, ignoring the red face of the county Cheng, sat down, sat down on an equal footing with the county order, and roared: "I don't care!" Wanping's river temple must have my Luo Guoqi's name! A must have! I have done my best, and the inscription and the name have been passed down through the ages, as a matter of course! You remember, Wanping is three points of land! I am the king! I am the Heavenly Principle! ”

The soap and the clerks bowed their heads one after another, the three masters made a fool of themselves, and the ugly things could not be seen, nor did they leave, nor did they stay......

The county clerk and the chief bookkeeper were ashamed, but they didn't dare to offend him, and Fan Zhixian held back a fire in his heart.

Seeing that no one refuted, Luo Guoqi's face looked better, what else did he ask for for a person like him who was not short of wealth? It's enjoyment and fame. After the success of Wanpingzhi River, it is necessary to build a river temple, engraved with meritorious people, and Luo Guoqi wants this reputation.

"It's good to know each other, otherwise, my brother is qualified to take the official examination, I don't want to lose my black yarn hat, listen to me obediently, that Jia Cong, I can't take the county exam next year, good...... Hahaha...... "Luo Guoqi flicked his sleeve robe and walked out of the county office elegantly, very Li Taibai's "look up to the sky and laugh and go out, how can my generation be a Penghao person".

Fan Zhixian's pupils bulged out of his sockets, he exhaled like thunder, his hands trembled, and he slammed the startled wood: "Retreat!! ”

The county clerk, the main bookkeeper, the soap officer, and the secretary office were startled, discouraged, and went back.

Fan Zhixian is like a volcano about to erupt, Menzi reported to Jia Cong to ask to see, and when it came in, Fan Zhixian was in the study in the rainy and rainy: "The consul of the river worker is corrupt, why teach me?" ”

"County Zun ......" Jia Cong attached his ear, and said like this, Fan Zhixian compared his ears with his hands, the more he listened, the brighter his eyes became, as if he had obtained a treasure, he couldn't help but hold Jia Cong's hands, and said what Liu Xuande told Zhuge Liang back then: "This official has you, like a fish in water!" ”
