Chapter 53: A two-pronged conquest of the imperial history

It is not enough to resist insect pests and lodging, but this drought and flood resistance has hit Zhang Guowei's sore spot.

He was twenty-seven years old in the middle of the jinshi, for the official 18 years, from the seventh grade county order to the second rank of the imperial history of the governor, this road to promotion has never drilled the camp, thanks to the people for the sake of the people, relying on real achievements to rise to the top.

Every time he went to a place, he first rode a boat to see the local water conservancy and people's livelihood, and was regarded as 'the governor of water control who rode and rode a boat', and no one in the entire Ming officialdom knew the impact of drought and flood on the harvest better than him.

When he heard for the first time that crops could be cultivated to resist drought and flooding, Zhang Guowei was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and laughed loudly: "Okay, good! If this crop can withstand drought and flood, how can my harvest increase by a few percent! Doubling is not a difficult task! Can the current situation still erode so much? What will make him Li Zicheng a chance? I have a great foundation for all generations! ”

Zhang Guowei's eyes when he looked at Zhang Zhen were also very kind, and he said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, you and I are from this family, and I am nearly thirty years old for you, it's not an exaggeration to call you a virtuous nephew, right?" Are you interested in entering the officialdom with me? With my guarantee, coupled with your method, it will not be difficult to worship the marquis in the future! ”

Buddy is trying to recruit you, do you think Daming is orthodox, but we know the future of Daming, Daming is a dou who can't be supported, and there is hope for buddies in this world to help up, the key is to help up?

Killed Li Zicheng and Huang Taiji, and Chongzhen, who was saved from the danger of hanging in the future, came to a rabbit and a dead dog to cook a bird and hide it all?

How many of the meritorious masters have been labeled as rebellious? Burning Qinggong Building, drinking and releasing military power are all examples.

Even if you are captive and raise a king side by side with a word or something, you will have glory and wealth, but what about your own wishes?

Zhang Zhen didn't want to think about it in his heart, and directly rejected Zhang Guowei's kindness, and did a full set of plays, and he looked like he had to do it, pretending to think for a while, and sighed: "The kindness of the adults has been understood, but this method is good for the people, I'm afraid it won't be tolerated by Confucianism and Taoism, right?" Rather than being impeached in the future and being a fearful official, it is better to be a small landlord and a small businessman! ”

Zhang Guowei instantly became angry, and said with hatred: "Why are you so unmotivated? I have all things! ”

Zhang Zhen asked flatly: "What if even adults are implicated?" ”

Zhang Guowei got angry, blew his beard and glared: "The Ming Dynasty is in a difficult situation at home and abroad, when it is so dangerous, they dare?!" ”

Zhang Zhen sneered: "Not everyone thinks about the people like adults, don't blame me for talking too much, if it weren't for the internal and external difficulties of the Ming Dynasty, the adults would be able to rise to the second rank of the dynasty?" At this time, I am afraid that a prefect is in the sky, and the reason why the eunuch party of the Donglin Party does not move you is because Daming needs you to be such a good official! More because you are a Jinshi!! Zhang Zhen is white, but it's still not good. ”

Zhang Zhen's words were like a basin of cold water, and Zhang Guowei's back was cold, and he was afraid for a while.

Afraid of returning to the future, he was always a little unwilling, Zhang Guowei said stubbornly: "You also know that Daming needs a good official, but you don't know that you can't tolerate the second one?" I'll take...."

"Item on the head guarantee?" Zhang Zhen hurriedly said: "My lord, you can know that once the word of hybridization spreads, it is enough to shake the foundation of Confucianism, and I am afraid that it will be even worse than the changes in the past!" At that time, the involvement will be widespread, how can an adult be able to contain it? ”

Zhang Guowei has been in officialdom for a long time, and he was a little deflated when he heard this, and said unwillingly: "What if your wheat field can have a bumper harvest?" There is a mu yield as an example, I will play Your Majesty, when the time comes, Longyan Dayue will not be rewarded, I will help you ask for a holy decree, who can still move you? ”

The other party persevered, Zhang Zhen smiled bitterly: "Then you have to be able to produce a good yield!" ”

After Zhang Zhen was relieved, Zhang Guowei was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Well, I came back before the wheat harvest, and I haven't seen such good seedlings after living for more than 40 years, so I don't believe that this mu yield can't reach the sky!" ”

Zhang Zhen was waiting for him to come back before the wheat harvest, and when he got up, he detained him by the way, and used the ancient method to move the righteousness of affection, and there was always hope to solicit it.

The atmosphere eased a lot, Zhang Zhen was thinking about how to introduce the topic to water conservancy, after all, this person is most concerned about water conservancy in addition to farming, and he can conquer it with a two-pronged approach, right?

As a result, before he could think about it, Zhang Guowei spoke first.

"Can a virtuous nephew have a high opinion on water conservancy?"

Zhang Zhen was happy in his heart and said with a smile: "Gao Jian didn't dare to say it, it was just some vulgar opinions." ”

Zhang Guowei asked casually, but he didn't report any hope, but after hearing it, he was naturally surprised, and said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew is too modest, according to your unbelievable idea, even if it is not as earth-shattering as hybridization, it is extraordinary, hurry up and listen to it." ”

With the backing of the water conservancy projects of later generations, Zhang Zhen couldn't do it without confidence, looked at Zhang Guowei, who was looking forward to it, and said with a smile: "This water conservancy is just the word blockage and sparseness, and everyone in the world thinks that blocking is not as good as sparse, but in my opinion, it is the opposite." ”

This is not amazing again! Hearing this, Zhang Guowei's spirits perked.

Zhang Zhen said: "This is just an assumption, it is estimated that in my lifetime, even if it is the strength of the country, everything will go smoothly to be realized." ”

Zhang Guowei hurriedly said: "It's okay to imagine it!" Water conservancy is not an overnight thing, but it can cure the flood and pour the efforts of several generations to complete it! ”

Zhang Zhen nodded in agreement and said: "The harm of the Ming River, the Yellow River is the first, the Yangtze River is second, the book of adults is the Yangtze River, to learn more about that side, let's take the Yangtze River as an example." ”

"The Yangtze River floods, the most is the rainy season, the upper, middle and lower reaches of the heavy rain poured into the river in a month or two, the upper and middle reaches are fine, especially downstream, the flooded river flooded the farmland and dwellings, this is a flood, the governor of the ten prefectures is set up for this, right?"

Zhang Guowei nodded, and Zhang Zhen continued: "If we build a few dams in the upper reaches or even in the middle reaches of the mountains, and the water is held back into a large lake dozens of zhang high during the flood season downstream, and the water is released in the dry season to facilitate irrigation downstream, in this way, the Yangtze River is not only harmless, but also greatly beneficial to the country and the people!" What do adults think? ”

Before Zhang Zhen's words were finished, Zhang Guowei's mouth was already open in surprise, and when he closed his mouth after listening to it, his throat swallowed saliva, and his beard curled up one by one, and he was speechless.

There were five people in the house, only the sound of the other four people swallowing saliva remained, those hydropower stations in the future could become tourist attractions, and now there is an effect, Zhang Zhen was not surprised at all, picked up the teacup and drank the tea.

After a long time, Zhang Guowei calmed down a little, and couldn't help but sigh: "Virtuous nephew, you are really daring!" I don't want to say it, but it's more than I dare to think! If such a dam can really be built, let alone knighted, it will be famous for centuries! ”

Zhang Zhen said with a smile: "The materials used in this dam are harsh, and the construction is even more difficult, so it can only be a plan at this time, but there is a method that can be used at the canal gate at this time." ”

"Oh? Come and hear it! Zhang Guowei was pleasantly surprised, there is a way to use, of course he will not miss it, who made the other party's idea so unbelievable?

Zhang Zhen smiled and dipped the tea in his cup, drew the appearance of the river lock on the table, pointed to the simple diagram and said: "The boat of the Ming Dynasty is slow, it is not easy to cross the lock, why not build such a lock on the side of the canal, there are locks on both sides, the boat comes downstream, opens the rear gate, enters the ship horizontally, closes the rear gate and opens the front gate, and the boat is out horizontally. ”

Zhang Zhen went down the Yellow River, along the way to the boat fast, the second is to go around the night does not close the gate, all the way unimpeded, at that time to see the water potential, and heard the town that through the gate through the three waves of the legend of noodles, know that it is difficult to row through the lock with the manpower of the Ming Dynasty, this is the basic structure of the lock in the later generations.

In later generations, the drop of tens of meters of hydropower stations could be passed by ships of tens of thousands of tons, and the sluice gate on the canal, which was less than one meter high, was actually a ghost gate, and Zhang Zhen was also speechless.

Anyway, if you are going to start with this canal, you can simply give Daming some sweetness first.
