Chapter 327: The Son Inherits His Father's Business
In autumn, the Hengchuan River has been docile like a little girl to be married, and when the waterline is close to the winter dry water line, Wen Jihuai will ask Yang Yi to start a huge sand clearing project. At the same time, the river diversion project is progressing slowly, but it is still in full swing.
Yang Yi, accompanied by Wen Jihuai, inspected the entire Yuzui Bay project, and with Yang Yi's strong support, the entire Yuzui Bay has undergone earth-shaking changes.
After walking for a long time, Yang Yi came to a shack at the Waijiang diversion site to drink tea and rest. Yang Yi stood on the mountainside, stopped and looked, the entire Chengzhou Mansion Plain had an unobstructed view, and the foggy vast world was really exciting.
"This year, we have cleaned up the silt of the entire main channel of the Yokogawa River, and even if there is a big flood in three years, there will definitely be no danger." Wen Jihuai stood beside Yang Yi and pointed to the winding Hengchuan River and said confidently.
Yang Yi was silent for a while when he heard this, but he shook his head and said, "Three years... Three years is not enough time, and even the trees planted on the banks of the river will not be able to bear fruit. ”
It took a lot of manpower and material resources, but it could only ensure three years of worry-free, which greatly exceeded Yang Yi's tolerance.
Wen Jihuai said with some guilt: "This is already the best situation, in the past, the Hengchuan River would flood every year, and the people along the river had even begun to give up planting crops. ”
Yang Yi sighed, this kind of thing that has to be done to treat the symptoms is the most disgusting, but it is no wonder that Wen Jihuai is not the same.
"In the final analysis, it is necessary to complete the renovation project of Yuzui Bay as soon as possible, the flood is a robber, and he has to collect interest from my Shuzhong once a year, who can stand it in the long run."
Wen Jihuai hesitated and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, I heard that Shuzhong is preparing to use troops to the south?" ”
Yang Yi glanced at Wen Jihuai and knew that he was worried that the war would affect the progress of the transformation of Yuzui Bay. Yang Yi turned around and sat on a chair, pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for Wen Jihuai to sit down as well, and said, "You don't have to worry, no matter what happens in Shu, as long as I am still in the position of the king of Shu, I will definitely ensure that the Yuzui Bay project will not fall." ”
Yang Yi knows better than anyone else that the benefits brought by a project for the benefit of the people are not a force, but a dynasty that can reflect it, and the benefits will be eternal.
The Dujiangyan water conservancy project in the previous life has experienced thousands of years of vicissitudes from the Warring States period to the modern era, and I don't know how many rulers have been replaced, and how many dynasties have risen and fallen, but it is still benefiting the thousands of miles of fertile land of the country of abundance.
Yang Yi felt that he couldn't do anything else, and he still had a long-term vision.
Wen Jihuai breathed a sigh of relief and said: "In this troubled era, there are not many princes who can devote their minds to the people's livelihood, and I thank Your Highness for the thousands of people in Shu." ”
Yang Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't put a high hat on me, I will naturally do my best to do what I can do, if I can't do it, I won't move a finger with the knife on my neck, righteousness or anything won't work for me here." ”
Wen Jihuai smiled, knowing that this nine-nerd King Shu is always hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, always scolding good people for being difficult to be, while trying his best to do what he should do.
Yang Yi glanced at Wen Jihuai, who was just over thirty years old, but he had already grown a lot of gray hair. For people like Wen Jihuai, Yang Yi can only be ashamed of himself, at any time, people who dare to devote their lives to one thing are worthy of admiration, and the perseverance and perseverance required to do so are not imaginable by ordinary people.
"I heard you're married? When and why don't you notify me? Yang Yi suddenly remembered that he had heard Hou Jian'er say that Wen Jihuai seemed to be married to a Ping family woman.
Wen Jihuai replied: "Well, it happened three months ago. After a moment's hesitation, he added, "My wife was like me before, and she was hit by a flood, and her husband and family were gone, leaving only her and her infant child. When we share the same fate, we become a family, and we can take care of each other. ”
Yang Yi nodded, no wonder Wen Jihuai did not entertain guests, marrying a widow with a child is not something to celebrate, Wen Jihuai is a literati after all, and he still can't get over that hurdle on his face, and it takes a lot of courage to marry someone home.
"How old is the child?" Yang Yi asked.
Wen Jihuai paused for a moment and replied: "I am eight years old this year, I am very well-behaved, and I am very filial to me. ”
"En..."Yang Yi nodded and said, "You go back and discuss with your wife, if you agree, send the child to the Bright Academy." ”
Wen Jihuai was taken aback when he heard this, and then bowed down excitedly: "Yes!" How could you not want to! Being able to let a child enter the Bright Academy is something that many people in Shu dream of. ”
Although Yang Yi hosted the Guangming Academy has not made any achievements now, but its reputation is already very loud, it may be that Yang Yi's education form has played a role, those children in the Guangming Academy will be smarter than their peers, and there is even a saying among the people that the students who can enter the Guangming Academy are prodigies, and with His Royal Highness the King of Shu personally taught, the future achievements do not need to be thought about and know that they are limitless.
For Wen Jihuai, he has also heard about the affairs of Guangming Academy, there are not many students in it, except for the children of Yang Yi's henchmen who are the orphans of the late generals, Yang Yi can let his children enter Guangming Academy, perhaps also expressing his trust in himself.
Yang Yizheng wanted to let Wen Jihuai get up, but he said again: "But Your Highness, your subordinates have a reluctant request." ”
"You say."
"My subordinates want His Highness to teach my children their talents in water conservancy."
Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Do you want your son to inherit his father's business?" ”
Wen Jihuai said: "This kind of thing is definitely not something that can be done in one generation, and someone always needs to continue to do it." ”
Yang Yi nodded and said, "If your child is willing to learn, I will enjoy it myself." ”
Wen Jihuai's eyes were a little red, and he hurriedly made a big gift, Yang Yi knew even more knowledge than him, if his child could really learn Yang Yi's skills, he would definitely become a celebrity through the ages.
Yang Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay, what's the matter if you worship me, it's not you who are my student." ”
Wen Jihuai's eyes widened, and he seemed to say very naturally: "That's okay..."
Yang Yi hurriedly turned his body to the side and turned his face away, there was no way to talk, he was not interested in accepting such an old guy as a student, and the transformation of the Hengchuan River was inseparable from Wen Jihuai, how could he have time to let him learn things from knowing Arabic numerals.
At this time, a fast horse rushed to the mountainside, and soon arrived in front of Yang Yi and others.
The sergeant on the horse turned over, stepped over to Yang Yi in three or two steps, and bowed: "Your Highness Qiqi, the sword rushes to the pass!" ”
Yang Yi took the urgent text in the sergeant's hand, unfolded the letter and looked at it, and immediately frowned.
The monkey on the side said worriedly: "Your Highness, what's wrong?" ”
Yang Yi closed the letter and said in a deep voice: "Li Cen is moving so fast..."
Monkey Jian'er exclaimed: "Li Cen sent troops? ”
Yang Yi nodded, turned back to Wen Jihuai and said, "Lord Wen, the matter of Yuzui Bay will be handed over to you, if you have any requirements, I will let Mr. Liu try his best to help you." ”
Wen Jihuai bowed and said: "Although Your Highness has to do what you have to do, even if Jihuai does not sleep, he will definitely complete His Highness's instructions as soon as possible, and do not let the Hengchuan River be quiet, Wen Jihuai vows not to be a man!" ”
Yang Yi nodded, and patted Wen Jihuai's shoulder steadily, only when his rear is stable, can the battle ahead be carried out without worries, even if there are millions of enemy troops, Shuzhong is not afraid.
Yang Yi turned around and took the war horse led by Tie Niu, turned over and said, "Let's go, let me Yang Yi go and meet the heroes of the Central Plains for a while." ”
Then he waved his horsewhip and led the generals along the mountain road and went straight down the mountain.
