Chapter 48: The Red Sun Comes and Falls (21)
All of a sudden, it was hot.
Overnight, it was like the height of summer.
The sun was still scorching in the west, and I knew that I was screaming frantically in the street trees.
It is not uncommon for pedestrians to come and go, mostly dressed in short clothes, with their sleeves rolled up high, and swaggering through the city shirtless.
But Han Wei is old, like ordinary old people, he is afraid of cold, he is still tightly wrapped, sitting cross-legged in the carriage, and only opening the window a little to breathe.
Han Li was also hot, and he was already sweating when he didn't come in, but when he entered this stuffy can-like carriage, all the hot sweat turned into cold sweat.
Han Li knelt down tremblingly in front of Han Wei, feeling uneasy in his heart, yesterday in Xiangzhou, the state will hold a banquet to entertain, his father lost his dignity at the banquet, and his grandfather immediately lost his good face.
Asking his grandfather to get in the car today, it was also Han Li who came to invite him, and his father Han Zongru didn't dare to get close at all.
Han Li was also served at noon, and now that she was about to arrive at the ferry, Han Li was sent by her father again.
"Dad ordered his grandson to come and ask Weng Weng, today's car is tired, and Weng Weng is also tired. Do you want to rest overnight at this ferry, and then cross the river tomorrow morning? ”
Han Wei didn't seem to hear his grandson's words, but just squeezed the Ruyi in his hand tightly: "Is the ship ready?" ”
The cold hairs on Han Li's neck stood up, "The official ship is parked on the dock." ”
"Then cross the river!" Han Wei snapped and almost overturned the roof of the car.
He almost regarded the Ruyi in his hand as his own son, twisting his two hands, and he wanted to cut them off.
"Your father is thinking about me as an old man, where am I tired, his old man is tired!" Han Wei's face was dark, and Yu Ruyi was about to be broken, "Fat as a pig, and eating so much, how much face has the family lost all the way?" ”
Han Wei's eldest son, Han Zongru, has always been delicious, not to mention three meals a day, and snacks are constant. The best lamb is the best, and other delicacies are never refused. When eating, the better adjective is gluttony, and the worse one is the sentence that Han Wei scolded.
Layers of cold sweat broke out on Han Li's head, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to tell the difference. To be honest, Han Li has not helped his father in disasters on weekdays, but this time his grandfather's anger is really unprecedented.
Speaking of which, he lost people in front of the Han family in Anyang, Xiangzhou yesterday, which made my grandfather lose face. If it weren't for Han Qi's descendants, my grandfather wouldn't have been so annoyed - after all, he was used to it.
Han Li lowered his eyebrows and listened to his grandfather scolding his father, and finally when his grandfather was tired and took a breath, he hurriedly stepped forward and took a cup of drink and handed it to his grandfather's mouth.
After taking the drink handed by his grandson, Han Zhen finally became less angry, took a sip of tea soup, and asked, "Since your father can be so embarrassed at the banquet, why don't you dare to come and see the old man." ”
Han Li said in a low voice: "Daddy said that he was afraid that Weng Weng would be angry when he saw him. ”
Han Jin's voice suddenly rose an octave, "Aren't I angry if I don't see him?!" ”
After a while, Han Li left Han Jin's carriage and returned to the front.
Han Zongru sat in the middle of the carriage, this fat man was like a meat mountain spirit, swallowing a piece of cold cake bare-chested, and the fat was full of shiny sweat.
He held a palmetto fan in his hand and shook it, and there were two maids waving the fan in front and behind. That's it, it's still a stinky sweat.
Seeing that his son had finally returned, the fat man hurriedly threw the cold cake in his hand into his mouth and ate it in one bite, and then laughed. But he smiled like this, and the flesh on his face squeezed his facial features so much that he was almost invisible, "Has your grandfather's anger subsided?" ”
Han Li sat down, "Weng Weng drank some drinks and rested first." ”
Han Zongru shook his fan and smiled even more heartily, "I'll just say it." When your grandfather saw his grandson, why was he willing to give up the fire? ”
Han Li breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said firmly, "But Weng Weng also said that he will cross the river today." ”
But I didn't see Han Zongru care, but he had a smile that was sold with a clever plan, "Your grandfather is always strong, and his anger has always been great, and if he doesn't give an outlet, he can't go down." This time, it was an ugly look for the father, and this relieved his anger. ”
Weng Weng also said, Daddy, you'd better think more about what Jingshi should do. The third uncle is no longer here, and the family is going to have a hard time, so my father has to think about it more. ”
Han Jiang died of illness, which was a great blow to the Han family. Without this old man who has a good relationship with all aspects, especially with Han Gang, the Lingshou Han family has no weight to speak when he ascends to the court.
Han Zhen and Han Wei are only one step away from the two governments, but due to the problem of position, not only do they have little friendship with the princes of the current axis, but they have never been able to cross this distance of one step.
After the two crossed the threshold of 70 years old, the chances of getting the Qingluo umbrella became more and more slim. To this day, when Han Wei returned to Beijing, the courtiers still recognized him, and now it is really uncertain.
It is related to the fate of the Han family, but Han Zongru still doesn't seem to care, and he says yes again and again, but people can't feel the slightest bit from their hearts.
Han Li couldn't be angry with his father, and the young man in his early twenties could only hold his breath, "It's time to get to the dock in a while, Daddy has to get off early." ”
"Good! Good! Han Zongru was still full of promises, but soon lamented again, "When you go out with your grandfather, you have to endure hardship." ”
Han Zongru's body is bulky, and he is most afraid of heat, if he can rest more, he will definitely not want to move more.
It's already early afternoon, and it's the hottest time. If he had to cross the Yellow River today, he would have to serve his father at the dock to get on the boat first, and then go to the other side, and he would not be able to go back to rest until he had met the officials from Baima County who had come to meet Han Jin. All the way to get sunburned. In other words, you will cross the river early tomorrow morning, and you will not be busy outside at the hottest time of the day.
said that it was to make Han Jin angry, so he deliberately asked to rest at the ferry tonight, but if Han Jin agreed to cross the river early tomorrow morning, Han Zongru would only be happier.
It's a pity that Han Zongru couldn't get his wish, he shook the folding fan, "On such a hot day, unloading the car is also a troublesome matter." I brought too much, there was nothing in the Jingshi, so why bother to bring a carriage. ”
Looking out the window, he sighed again, "I said that I was going to build a bridge over the Yellow River, and I said that I had been talking about it for a few years, but I didn't see it again, when would I be able to repair the bridge and let the train cross the river all the way." ”
Han Li resisted, "If you want to build a bridge on the Yellow River, at least seven or eight miles, how can you build such a long bridge in the world that can also pass through trains, the Yellow River is so turbulent, the pontoon bridge will be bent, how to pave the track?" ”
Han Zongru shook his head, he, a fat man who is joking, doesn't put up a fight in front of his son, "It's not that you want to build a pontoon bridge." ”
As early as the seventh year of Xining, the rebuilding of the Yellow River's golden embankment began, and there was a mention in the imperial court to build a pontoon bridge over the Yellow River.
However, in spring, there are Lingxun and Peach Blossom Flood, and in summer it is a flood season, and it is very difficult to cross the Yellow River to build a pontoon bridge. Although there is a pontoon bridge over the Yellow River today, that bridge is only available in autumn when the water is slow and the ice is low, and in spring and summer it is only a matter of luck, and even the Taiping Carriage cannot cross, let alone trains.
Han Zongru fanned himself, "The best way is to build a bridge pier in the middle of the river, and then build an arch and an arch to build a bridge, so that we can cross the Yellow River and build a bridge." ”
"Bridge piers? What kind of bridge piers can hold back the flooding of the Yellow River? ”
To build a bridge on the pond in the garden of the house, the piers of the bridge are erected first, and then the bridge plate is erected. Han Li: This is what I've seen. If you want to use such a bridge building method to build a bridge over the Yellow River, Han Li will only think it is whimsical.
"If only a bridge pier could be built in the middle of the Yellow River that could not be washed away by floods, the Yellow River's golden embankment would not have burst."
In recent years, the embankment of the Yellow River from Luoyang to Daming has become stronger and stronger, coupled with the strategy of harnessing water and attacking sand, so that the riverbed in this section has been continuously cut, and there is no need to worry about the flooding of the Yellow River. However, below the daimyo, there was still a break. However, near the north, the flood of the eastward flow was not densely populated, and the damage was not great, and it was blocked in the autumn when the water eased. But this was a dam failure after all, and Zhang Dian and Han Gang of the dynasty were not immune to some accusations.
In Han Li's opinion, unless a stone mountain can be built in the river, then it can be used as a bridge pier.
"Theoretically, it's no problem, it's been discussed many times in Nature, but now the construction skills and materials can't keep up."
“
Han Zongru is full of new words, in Han Li's opinion, the most studied qi science in the family is not necessarily his father, but he is definitely the most affected.
The southbound train soon arrived at Liyang Gudu, but there was a person standing here, waiting for the arrival of Han Jin and his party.
"Fang Xing? Isn't this a guest of Han Xianggong's house? Han Zongru's fat short fingers pinched Mingra, glanced at it, and then handed it to his son, "Send it to your grandfather." ”
Han Li hurriedly responded excitedly. When the prime minister sent his cronies to welcome him two hundred miles away, this was a rare honor, and it could also be seen that the prime minister was showing goodwill. But he came out again soon after he entered, the excitement on his face was gone, and he returned Fang Xing's name to Han Zongru, "Weng Weng said, he is tired and doesn't want to see guests, just ask Daddy to receive him." ”
"What kind of gas is this?" Han Zongru shook the folding fan in a loud voice, baring his teeth and frowning, looking like he had a headache.
Han Li couldn't help but urge, "Daddy, it's better to hurry up, it won't be good if Han Xianggong misunderstands." ”
"There's no need to worry. That Han Xianggong is not the kind of person who is cautious, and he couldn't be more reassuring about your grandfather. His subordinates are also here to get in touch, not to find someone who is unhappy. ”
Han Li was relieved.
He knew very well that under his father's clumsy appearance, there was an extremely meticulous mind. seems to be lazy, has no intention of going to school, has to eat and appetite, and is completely a standard gentleman, but if there is something at home, my grandfather must discuss it with his father.
Just look at the grandfather's scolding and scolding, this time he went south to Beijing and brought his father out, you can see his grandfather's trust in his father.
Han Zongru didn't complain for too long, and quickly invited Fang Xing in.
Han Zhen didn't come forward, Han Zongru was just a Dali Temple without a job, and Fang Xing's name card was not easy to keep, so he also returned it.
Fang Xing came here, as everyone knows, to be a lobbyist for Han Gang to pull allies, but as soon as Fang Xing opened his mouth, Han Li was startled,
"Sicheng Township lives in the north, close to the north. If you want to come to the captivity, you must be familiar with it. Therefore, I dare to ask Sicheng, how many years is there before this northern captive enters the Kou? ”
Will the North be invaded?!
After the news of the story of the prime ministers' example of Yiyin came, Han Li once speculated with his brothers whether the Liao people would take the opportunity to join the Kou.
The Queen Mother and the Prime Minister imprisoned the Son of Heaven, and it is indeed possible that the Liao people will make a fuss about this and raise troops to the south. But if the Liao people want to invade the south, they also have to look at the strength, and the walled fort filled with artillery in the northern boundary is not an ornament.
The Liao people went south to plunder, not to die, and when they saw that Hebei was always in good fight, they did not dare to seek their own death.
So you can sit back and relax at home. This is the inference of Han Li and his cousins. But his father clearly didn't think so.
"Within ten years, if the Liao people don't invade, the financial plan will not be able to support it." Han Zongru's pair of small eyes flashed with wisdom, "The Liao State makes guns and cannons, and every industry is a military industry, and it has failed to benefit the people at all." ”
"One is no, and the other is can't. If you don't, the Liao lord is not knowledgeable. If you can't, there is a field, and the Liao people are eager for Song goods, and the things of their own country are expensive and inferior, and no one cares about them. ”
After the Song and Liao countries completely liberalized border trade, the handicraft workshops within the Liao State were washed to pieces by industrial products from the south.
In order to enter into an arms race with the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao State also did not have excess production capacity to use against dumping in the south.
Moreover, after the Liao State occupied Japan, there was still a large amount of hard currency such as silver and gold, and there was no urgency to tighten the fence.
But gold, silver, and copper are limited, and Yelu Yixin will not endure this kind of lossy trade for too long. When the Liao State began to blockade the country, when was the war going to start.
And this time, in Han Zongru's view, is ten years at most.
