In the East Pavilion of the Jinde Palace, Zhu Pingjin handled official documents in the office as usual.

Qin Yi has just reported that just after midnight this morning, the Jinjiang River outside the four gates of Chengdu Prefecture has been cut off, indicating that the interception project of Dujiangyan has been successful.

This news made Zhu Pingjin breathe a sigh of relief.

If the Dujiangyan annual repair project is completed, it will greatly improve the agricultural production capacity and the ability to resist disasters and resist disasters in the counties around Chengdu. In the future, the excavation of artificial canals can also expand the area of the Dujiangyan irrigation area. It extends to Deyang in the north and Meizhou, Qiongzhou and even Renshou in the south.

Zhu Pingjin did not know whether these projects would succeed or how much time and money would be required. The first thing he confirmed was that for every 10,000 mu of cultivated land, if half of the yield was taken, two battalions of soldiers could be raised. Therefore, no matter how difficult these projects are, they must be started as soon as possible.

The altitude of Baohuakou is dozens of meters higher than that of the Chengdu Plain, and the natural drop is used to realize the artesian flow of the main canal, which is theoretically fully qualified. In addition, the artificial canal excavation route he pointed out to Ding Yuan is the route of the people's canal and the Dongfeng canal in his previous life, and as long as the terrain of the western Sichuan Plain has not undergone large-scale undulating movements in the past three hundred and seventy years, then the probability of success should be relatively large.

For example, the Guanqu Weir Project (also known as the People's Canal Phase I to IV Project). From the beginning of the design in five or one years, to the start of construction in five or three years, to five or six years to fully realize. In the past five years, New China has built nearly 90 kilometers of trunk canals and an additional area of about 1.7 million mu of controlled irrigation by relying entirely on the emancipated peasants and the primitive labor carried by the shoulders and hands. Since New China can be realized, Zhu Pingjin also wants to try it in the Ming Dynasty.

The road is long, I will go up and down and seek. I'm a pampered rich and handsome, and I'm completely a hard worker haha!

Zhu Pingjin sighed, grabbed the copper bell on the table, and shook it.

The attendant eunuch Qin Yi appeared at the door silently.

Zhu Pingjin said: "Let Lord Wu come in." ”

Wu Jishan, the former magistrate of Chengdu and the new Chengdu general judge, appeared in front of Zhu Pingjin in civilian clothes today. He doesn't want to be eye-catching when he dresses like this, but his casual clothes are eye-catching enough.

INSIDE, A DARK CYAN ROBE, WRAPPED WITH A GOLD BELT OF RED SATIN, COVERED WITH A GRAY BROCADE CRANE (CHANG), WEARING A DARK DONGPO SCARF, FEET ON SOAPY CLOUD SHOES, STANDING ON AN INCREASINGLY SWOLLEN BELLY, LOOKING LIKE A RICH TYCOON. Compared with Zhu Pingjin in a cloth robe, Wu Jishan looks like a boss, while Zhu Pingjin is just a worker.

Wu Jishan came to the door, with his trademark courtier-like smile, and first sang Zhu Pingjian's "Chitose Chitose Chitose!" Then prostrate four times. When Zhu Pingjin called him up, he thanked Zhu Pingjin again for his kindness.

Zhu Pingjin was not in a hurry to give Wu Jishan to sit. He opened the folder on the table, and while flipping through it, he said to Wu Jishan: "After my father left, this son checked the old documents in the palace and saw an admonition, the text was brave and loyal, and the suggestions were also quite insightful. It's a pity that my father is confined to the ban and can't use it! ”

"Fu Shu, the risk of talent, the king also said that he can't keep it?" Zhu Pingjin read aloud the sentences and paragraphs outlined in the text with a red pen: "However, the danger of the whole Shu should be on the side and not in the abdomen." Although there are many divergent paths next to the river, it is enough to ensure that His Royal Highness has no worries when he puts heavy troops in Kuimen and Sword Pavilion! …… We must not disperse our forces, defend all the small paths, or retreat our army to the hinterland of the plains, and do such a great thing (Note 1)! ”

Wu Jishan listened to the familiar words popping out of Zhu Pingjian's mouth, and the trademark smile on his face gradually dissipated. Zhu Pingjian's voice was like a keychain, opening the dusty iron doors one by one and entering the dark room of the soul. His legs went limp, and he fell to his knees.

Wu Jishan touched the ground with his head and said: "This is March of the eighth year of Chongzhen, when the lower officials first appointed the Chengdu Order, they felt the bad situation of the court and the hardships and dangers of Shu, and performed for His Royal Highness the King of Sorrow. The lower officials are clumsy and can't afford to be praised by the world! ”

"In March of the eighth year of Chongzhen, it is now the end of October of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen. Lord Wu, the seven-grade county, has been doing it for six or seven years. With Lord Wu's high talent, why did he stumble here? ”

"Xia Guan is a native of Taicang Prefecture in Nanzhi, and he is a fellow villager with Zhang Pu (PU)." Wu Jishan replied again.

Zhang Pu in Wu Jishan's mouth is a well-known figure in Daming.

Zhang Pu was diligent and studious when he was young, Chongzhen was a four-year jinshi, and the leader of the restoration society. There are many characters in the society, including Gu Yanwu, Chen Zilong, Wen Zhenmeng, Yang Tingshu, Yang Yi, Gu Menglin, Wu Changshi and others. Zhu Pingjin also studied an article by Zhang Pu in his previous life: "The Tombstone of Five People".

Zhou Yanru was originally the grandmaster of Zhang Pu Jinshidi, and this time Zhou Yanru went out of the mountain as a phase, and Zhang Pu and Wu Changshi contributed the most. Of course, the meaning of making efforts is to pull relations, votes, and create public opinion on the surface, but secretly it is to bribe votes. Zhu Pingjin recently received a secret news that this time Zhou Yanru entered Beijing, Zhang Pu gave him a booklet, which was full of names, some of which were to be of great use, and some of them were to be dismissed. Zhou Yanru, as a teacher, was submissive in front of his student Zhang Pu and did not dare to disobey at all. It is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Pu is the head of the underground organization of the Ming Dynasty today.

"Lord Wu is a member of the Restoration Society, and now that Yixing is in power, he will soar sooner or later. This son congratulates first! Zhu Pingjin sneered.

"Shizi Mingjian! Sage Cloud: Gentlemen are not friends, villains are the party! Wu Jishan replied three times, "The lower officials are less than anything, thinking that the eunuch party must be ugly." Since it is ugly, it is necessary to be passionate and righteous, and it is necessary to die (DAO). Now that the officials are middle-aged, they know that the world is sinister, and everything is not only good and evil! Planting the party and discussing the government and politics without permission, and disturbing the program and discipline with selfishness, regardless of the heart, are all sins of disobedience! Today, the Restoration Party is the same as the Socialist Party, forming a party for personal gain, and no longer thinking about the country. The common people are like this, and the resumption of the society is really guilty of the world! The officials were careless, went astray, were affected by the friends, and were sent to Sichuan by Wen Xiang (Wen Tiren), and now it is too late to regret it! ”

"There are good friends too! This is not the fault of the pundo, but the purpose of the punter is crooked, and the body is decayed! Saying that, the smile on Zhu Pingjian's face was even stronger: "You were born in Jiangnan and born in the Wu family." The resumption of the society is very strong, and it is strange that you don't join the society. You can't blame you for this! Lord Wu still holds a grudge against Wen Xianghu? ”

"Hate! The lower officials can't wait to eat their flesh raw! But although Zhou Yanru is Donglin, he and Wen Tiren are the same raccoon dogs, and it is not a good thing to harm the world with his own selfishness! The emperor revived Zhou Yanru, that is a sign of the death of the society! Zhang Pu helped Zhou Yanru, and his ignorance can be seen. In the humble opinion of the following officials, Zhou Yanru is just borrowing from Fusheer, and he will not be willing to be at the mercy of Zhang Pu, and the backlash may not be far away! ”

Speaking of these people, Wu Jishan's plain and kind fat face almost changed and became a little hideous. It seems that he, like many people in officialdom, has two faces.

Zhu Pingjin suddenly slapped the table and rebuked loudly: "The affairs of the world are discussed by everyone in the world, and the emperor is always in the court." How can a few scholars dare to overstep their authority and exercise authority on their behalf! Historical merits and demerits have their own posterity to comment. If it collapses today, whether the people support it or not is the only criterion for testing right and wrong! If the people love it, they will be born! If the people abandon it, they will perish, such a simple reason, the famous Confucian of Donglin Restoration Society is like a cloud, don't you know it! Empty talk misleads the country, but hard work prospers the country. Those who mislead the country and harm themselves, Liyuer! If you don't wake up suddenly, Yang Tianguan of Qiongzhou will be a lesson from the past! ”

"The words of the son of the world are deafening! The lower officials have been taught! Wu Jishan buckled his head like pounding garlic.

"Lord Wu is still in the Restoration Society?" Zhu Pingjin lowered his voice and asked.

"The lower officials have already broken off with them!"

"Are there any correspondences?" Zhu Pingjin asked again.

Wu Jishan hesitated for a while, but decided to tell the truth: "There are still contacts." The Restoration Society is as powerful as the sky in Jiangnan, and the lower officials dare not turn their faces against them. Besides, the Xiaguan family is in Taicang, where can they get rid of the relationship? The younger brother Wu Weiye is Zhang Pu's personal disciple. Wu Weiye wrote to inform the lower officials that he had just been promoted to the left concubine during his tenure as the superintendent of the state in Nanjing. Seeing that the officialdom was filthy, and all kinds of people seeking officials in the Restoration Society followed, he had no intention of becoming an official and planned to resign from Yanju. ”

Zuo Shuzi is a subordinate official of the prince, located in Zuo Chunfang, Zhan Shifu, is the fifth grade, and is generally used to add titles to the ministers of literature. Wu Weiye is famous for his literature in the southeast, and it is very appropriate to add the official Zuo Shuzi.

"It's better for your brother to stay in Nanjing! Although he is the backbone of the Restoration Society, he has a simple and kind heart, and his literary masterpieces are in the north and south, and he will be used by this son! You write a letter, send a reliable family member to send it back, and tell your Wu family to move to Sichuan as soon as possible! ”

"Moving a family? The Xiaguan family lives in Taicang, which is a big family! Wu Jishan was taken aback, and he couldn't speak well, "The ancestral property of the field house, the servants and slaves ......"

"The ancestral property of the field house is nothing but dead things! As for those house slaves, they are not reliable at all! Liu Hongting's mother's family is from Taicang. Slavery turned into a slave, her mother's house was completely in ashes, and even her loving mother was killed in flames. The dignified Zhong Ding family, the children of the official eunuchs, pretended to be called flowers, and went to Sichuan to find their father, and there was only a maid who grew up with him! Governor Lu Wenjia, the first place is also a white land. Do you know this? ”

"Lu Wenwen's family was burned by slavery, and there were many letters from his family. The minister knows. If you can't keep your own house, why should you keep a province? ”

Zhu Pingjin glanced at Wu Jishan on the ground contemptuously, and continued to destroy his mental defense: "Don't say that the slave has changed. Let's just say that Zhang Pu, the leader of your Restoration Society, is fighting for family property with his brother and his father, but is there such a thing? ”

"That's ......"

Wu Jishan wanted to defend himself, but suddenly felt that any of his justifications were superfluous, so he simply stopped and lowered his head to listen.

"The royal family has moved to Chengdu one after another, can Lord Wang know the reason?"

"The son of the world is interested in the world, so he takes this as a hostage!" Wu Jishan suddenly raised his head and came out with a rebellious language.

"Lord Wu's cultivation is not shallow! He has been an official in Shu for six and a half years, and he only told the truth twice in total! It's really rare for this son to hear it once! Rare! Zhu Pingjin laughed.

However, Zhu Pingjin quickly corrected his color and corrected Wu Jishan: "Lord Wu is worthy of being a genius in the south of the Yangtze River, and his knowledge is extraordinary!" But this time, Lord Wu was wrong. This son allows your Wu family to move to Sichuan, not for the sake of quality, but for your Wu family! The catastrophe is coming, and you don't know it yet! Jiangnan is rich, coveted by all parties, and sooner or later wars will break out. Sage cloud, gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall. You should think about it carefully! Even if the time is too short for people to come, they must sell all the family property as soon as possible and deposit it in Huitong Bank to Sichuan! ”

"Could it be that Jiangnan will soon fall into the hands of thieves?" Wu Jishan's face was full of consternation.

But he thought about it in a blink of an eye, the situation in the world was so dangerous, just like the slave mutinies in the past, so what was impossible?

"You can tell your people that Sichuan is now a feast on the Haihe River, and all industries are revitalized. Moving to Sichuan can not only save your family's life, but also reorganize your family business. There are many people in the south of the Yangtze River, and most of the gentry are farmers and merchants. Sichuan has vast tracts of wasteland to be cultivated, and new industries are booming. The business opportunities in Sichuan will only be more than those in Jiangnan Lake! ”

"The ministers will send their family members back with the minister's letter, and inform the elders of the village as much as possible about the meaning of the son. The minister should write in the letter: The people of Shu said that the son of the world was a boy with scattered wealth in his previous life! He is the most profitable person in the world! Follow the son of the world, you will always get rich! ”

Wu Jishan joked with Zhu Pingjin, and Zhu Pingjin also shook the robe on his body and smiled: "Since he is a boy who scatters wealth, he is the God of Wealth on the way." If you can earn it, you can spend it, in short, you can't save a few small dollars! ”

Both burst out laughing. At this time, Zhu Pingjin suddenly smiled and said:

"This son of the world has said all his good words, and Lord Wu can make his own choice. But does Lord Wu know what the outcome will be if he refuses the kindness of this son? ”

"Xia Guan knows. Xia Guan will soon be transferred to Tongjiang or Nanjiang counties (Note 2)! If the subordinate official refuses to take office at the expense of his life, the prince can add to the offense of the subordinate official and strip the official skin! ”

The smile returned to Zhu Pingjian's face. He shook his head and denied: "No, Nanjiang County has been temporarily appointed by Jiang Anzhi County. Lord Wu will be promoted to the same knowledge of Bazhou, and you Donglin predecessor Zhang Jimeng will be your wingman! ”

"The lower officials only obey the orders of the prince!" Wu Jishan did not hesitate at all, and immediately made a political choice: "The wives and daughters of the lower officials are all in Chengdu." The little girl Su Qi, fifteen years old, has been reading and reading with the lower officials since she was a child, and the lower officials are allowed to enter the palace to do things! ”

"This has to wait for Miss Luo to come back, let her take a look first. Since you are a general judge in Chengdu and the general affairs of the provincial government, you still have to do a few things! ”

"Please ask the prince to order, and the lower officials will do it!"

"Then please Lord Wu get up and speak! Qin, serve tea to Lord Wu! ”

After talking for a long time, Zhu Pingjin finally gave Wu Jishan a seat.

Note 1: Wu Jishan's discussion on the defense of Shu is extremely insightful. It can be seen that the officials of Shu at the end of the Ming Dynasty were not without understanding. For quotations, see History of the Ming Dynasty.

Note 2: Tong, Nan and Ba are the famous revolutionary triangles of modern Sichuan. The core areas of the Sichuan-Shaanxi revolutionary base areas established by the Four Front Armies are Tong, Nan, Ba, and Wan (Wanyuan). In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, Tong, Nan and Ba were the bases of the local tyrants. This is a historical fact, and you don't need to make too many associations.
