Chapter 37: My Ideal 2 (Two Changes)

Li Er did not reproach Li Chengqian, but reached out to pick up Li Xiuning's hand, reached out to wipe the tears from Li Chengqian's hand, and said in a tone that Li Chengqian had almost never heard: "Where have you been these days?" Daddy thought you were never coming back, so follow Daddy home. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Chengqian has always felt that he is a ruthless person, but he cried, this kind of feeling is beyond his bottom line, and he is alive to say that he is beyond his own cognition, he never thought that Li Er would say such sad words to himself in this tone, his feelings are not hidden at all, let alone a trace of demonstration, so he told Li Chengqian so generously: "Daddy is very worried about you, go home with your father." ”

Seeing Li Chengqian lying on his shoulder and crying, Li Er did laugh, he never thought that his words would be so powerful, this stubborn son almost never cried like this in front of him, Li Chengqian knew that he was wrong, it was outrageously wrong, he shouldn't use his own careful eyes to measure the mind of an emperor through the ages, how about killing his brother and devouring his brother, and what about the usurpation of power by his imprisoned father? Those are outsiders after all, after all, there is a reason, they are his sons, even if they seek to usurp the throne in history, they are just demoting themselves to concubines.

"I can't go back first, the child still has something to do, I have just promised the uncle, I must help them water the ground, the father often says that it is difficult to chase the horse, the child can't be such a treacherous person, and this matter is related to the father's popularity, if it can be promoted, the people of the world will definitely feel the father Mingning."

Li Er looked at Li Chengqian suspiciously, touched Li Chengqian's head and said, "What does Chengqian want to say?" ”

"Daddy, have you seen this thousand miles of fertile land? This year's drought, if you think like this, eight or nine out of ten here will be lost, but I recently walked a lot of places, and found that although there is a great drought in Guanzhong, but the river water has not decreased because of this, which proves that the source of the river is still full of rain, but the fields around Chang'an are high and low, and not all of them can be renewed with water, just take the uncle of the Chai family just now, their terrain is high, and they can only carry water to water the fields, so the child thought of one thing. ”

Li Er listened to Li Chengqian's words, put Li Chengqian down, looked at the river on the side and was also thinking about something, and listened to Li Chengqian's explanation, he had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

"Do you want to divert the water from here to the heights and then water the fields? So that the fields at high places can also be irrigated? ”

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "That's right, the name of this thing is called the waterwheel, this thing is not uncommon in Shuzhong, where the terrain is much more complicated than Guanzhong, where can be watered with a waterwheel, it must be possible here, and if the conditions permit, the waterwheel can be transformed into a water mill, which is not only convenient for watering, but also convenient for farmers, this move kills two birds with one stone, as long as the river is not dry, then Guanzhong can at least ensure that more than seventy percent of the land can be watered." ”

Li Chengqian's remarks are not exaggerated, Guanzhong has many fertile fields, not only because the land in Guanzhong is fertile, but also because there are many rivers in Guanzhong, and they are all big rivers, and the fertile fields are built according to the river, as long as there is river water, the fertile fields can be irrigated, and as for the water mill, the matter of the water mill is even simpler; in the long history of Chinese agricultural civilization, every village along the upper reaches of the river has a canal of clear water running along the ridge and around the village. The water flow near the water mill is urgent, and the water from the canal is used as the power to drive the stone mill of the wooden wheel engine to run day and night.

Li Er could imagine a picture of a water mill every few miles around Chang'an City, where many women were busy, drying the grain they had taken and hoarding it, then cleaning it and putting a handful of small objects (usually porcelain bowls or wooden utensils) on the windowsill of the water mill. The small things are placed next to each other very neatly, and the windowsills are full, so they continue to line up along the root of the wall, and the grinding is in order of morning and evening. The people at the top of the queue will always have someone to help the one who is grinding.

The clear water came along the canal, and the turbulent water wheel drove the stone mill, and the village woman went down to the ditch to dig for grain, wash vegetables, and wash and wipe dirt in the next place. From time to time, the toddler threw stones on the high ground on the side of the canal, and when the water splashed on the village woman's body, he let out a long series of sly and crisp laughter. The water from the water mill falls back into the canal and falls back into the river, and the confluence suddenly forms a shallow pool, where geese and ducks play leisurely, waiting for the leaky grain to float out with the canal, and the schoolchildren laugh on the beach next to it during the holidays. The aroma of the grain immediately soaked the whole heart.

In fact, the water mill has long existed, and the origin of the water mill handed down from ancient times. Li Bing, who repaired Dujiangyan a long time ago, invented the water turbine, there was a water mill, and in some places where there was little water, people no longer used stone mortars and dry mills (a kind of stone mills pulled by oxen or driven by manpower).

"Daddy took the credit for your work."

Li Er gently touched the top of Li Chengqian's head, stood up and said to the soldiers behind him: "Go and tell Your Majesty, Chengqian has been found, and go to the Ministry of Works, all the idle adults in the Recruitment Department will come here, and when they go to the palace to pick up the princess, they will say that Chengqian has been found, because there is something to do and they can't go back to the palace, so let her come here." ”

*********************

Li Yuan stood up in surprise, looked at Li Er's personal soldiers and said in surprise: "Cheng Qian really found it?" Why don't you come to see me? ”

Li Yuan's tone was a little hurried, he was a flesh-and-blood emperor, compared to those cruel and tyrannical emperors, this emperor was very popular, and his huge power made him have all kinds of suspicions about his children, they were the same party, they fought for power and profit, compared to them, Li Yuan preferred his grandson, he was smart, sensible, filial, and he would have a joy from the heart when he saw him, because the feelings without entanglement of interests always made people cherish, Therefore, Li Yuan was very worried about Li Chengqian during this time, half a month will change a lot of things, a seven-year-old child without the supervision of an adult, he can guess what the result will be without much thought.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Lu returned from a study tour, and saw that the people of Chang'an were carrying water to water the fields, and he couldn't bear it, and he heard that there was a Kong Ming car in Shu, so he thought about whether he could try it in Guanzhong again, His Royal Highness the King of Qin already knew about it, and he had told the officials of the Ministry of Industry to send someone to assist."

Li Yuan's heart warmed for a while when he heard this, and the old man Dou on the side sighed and said: "His Royal Highness King Lu is really a virtuous king, and he is only seven years old and cares about the people of the world, and the old minister congratulates His Majesty." ”

"The old slave means to congratulate Your Majesty."

Li Yuan looked at Old Man Dou as if he was thinking about something, King Xian! King Xian! Those nobles of the Li family need an example, and Li Yuan needs to let the people appear a prince who cares about their hardships, so why should he be stingy with a title? But can that thing be made at all?

He is not thinking about how much benefit it will bring to the people if something can be completed in the end, but the effect of this matter, the people's evaluation of the Li family, for this point, is what Li Yuan values the most, the Li family has Hu blood, this is the least confident of Li Yuan, and it is also the least confident of the Li family, even if he is reluctant to become the emperor, he will be looked down upon by those five surnames and seven families who claim to be Han orthodox, this is the thorn in Li Yuan's heart.

"Decree the province of the door! The royal insult is folded, the court is especially cut, Ren Wei Xunde, and he is really pro-virtuous. The royal insult is folded, the court is especially cut, Ren Wei Xunde, and he is really pro-virtuous. With the addition of cicada, the court is appropriate, and its virtuous is even also, and the title of virtuous king is specially given, and the food is three hundred. ”

"Prepare for the dragon hunt, today I will personally look at the emperor and grandson of the town, and watch him personally create such divine objects!"

Old man Dou almost choked to death with a sip of tea, this thing existed in the Han Dynasty, and it was something that he could make with a little fart? Li Yuan can think of anything that the old man can think of with his toes, but this kind of old man Dou can only hold it in his heart, and Li Yuan will be angry when he says it.

"Your Majesty Shengming~" In order to make the old man happy in red, Lao Dou could only speak with a clear conscience, and gently glanced to the side, his eyes just skipped over the Wang servant beside Li Yuan, and both of them saw a touch of joy in each other's eyes, as well as ~ proud.

Li Chengqian is Li Er's child, and Old Man Dou also has a child named Dou Shilun, who is the counselor of the Gongqin Mansion of Tiance Mansion to join the army, this official position is not high, but Li Er's attitude towards this matter, he is telling Old Man Dou, I Li Ergen Dou family is the same as the branch, although Old Man Dou has never admitted it, but only he knows what he thinks in his heart, so Old Man Dou likes Li Chengqian very much, and he is also expressing a message to Li Er, and he already knows.

Politics is sometimes so illusory, they never take out a thing and say it directly, because if you are like that, others will think that you are stupid, think that you are persecuting him, such a person is the first to die in officialdom, so they often speak in a roundabout way, even if something happens to the other party, there will be another set of rhetoric, for example, Li Chengqian, there can be another way of saying, is it wrong for an old man to like a child? My son is just a general from the eighth rank in your house, why do you say that I am in the same group as you, nonsense!

Although Li Er has never talked about this matter with Old Man Dou in private and public, but with a little conjecture and speculation, he has already figured out what Old Man Dou is talking about, the two of them are like a couple with grievances, if Li Er loses power that day, Old Man Dou is definitely the one who stepped on the heaviest, but if Li Erde is powerful that day, Old Man Dou must be the one who has contributed the most, this is called standing in line, a clear choice, there is no intimacy, there is only interests, for the interests of the family, This is also what those five surnames and seven families are pursuing, and they need someone who will make their family grow smoothly, not someone who will destroy them.
