Chapter 369: Talented
The ancients paid attention to entering the soil for safety, and this kind of behavior did not say that the government knew what would happen, but let the people know, and it would also be beaten to death.
Besides, digging graves is not attractive to Qin Ze at all, and even if he does, he won't be stupid enough to make everyone known, right?
"Those who send graves, add to the stream; Those who have opened the coffin shall be hanged; Those who fail to do so shall be imprisoned for three years. Is it true that the Lord of the Law does not know? Tang Jian's voice changed a little, there were too many ancient artifacts here, and he couldn't think of any other possibilities except digging graves.
Seeing Tang Jian like this, Qin Ze's heart was also warm. knew that he was really thinking about himself, so he hurriedly explained: "Even if you give the kid a hundred guts, he won't do that immoral thing." As for these ancient artifacts, they were all dug up from the river, and Lu Xianling personally sat in the town, and the origin of each piece was recorded, which the people of Jingyang County could testify. ”
"Hmph, in the third year of Wude, the Jing River burst its embankment, and Gao Zu sent 3,000 people to serve and dredge three feet. In the seventh year of Wude, another 5,000 civilian servants were issued, which was also three feet of dredging. Why are you able to dig up these things? Tang Jian snorted coldly, this matter was too serious, and he couldn't afford to despise it at all.
Although the location of the Jing River is not full of water, it is connected to Lishan Mountain, and everywhere it passes through is a place of beautiful mountains and rivers.
These places are all near the mountains and rivers, and they are also the places where the heavens and the earth and the bells and spirits gather, so the princes and nobles of the past dynasties are also buried here.
In recent years, due to the felling of the surrounding mountains and forests in Chang'an, a large number of landslides have long been caused. And these ancient burial artifacts naturally flowed into the Jing River.
The reason why the previous people didn't dig it was because it must have been swallowed by someone, and secondly, it is estimated that it was too shallow.
After hundreds of years of sedimentation, these things have long been mired in the quagmire. Not to mention digging three feet, if Qin Ze hadn't dug directly this time, it is estimated that these things would continue to lie in the mire that does not see the light of day.
Thinking of this, Qin Ze also sighed helplessly, picked up a palm-sized copper tripod and said: "In the past, civilian servants were all recruited, and it was all perfunctory to say something offensive. But now the kid has three meals a day, which is the time of the slack farming, and these people can't wait to dig until March, so naturally how deep and how deep they dig. Naturally, these ancient artifacts were dug up back and forth. ”
Qin Ze also looked at the copper tripod in his hand as he spoke, and he didn't know how long this thing had been soaked in water. A thick patina had already grown on it, and Qin Ze rubbed it hard before he could see the words on it clearly: "Linghou Changde, both for the lack of grams." ”
Shaking his head, Qin Ze didn't know what it was, so he threw it back into the pile of ancient artifacts. But he forgot that Tang Jian was still by his side, Qin Ze didn't care about these things, but Tang Jian was so cherished.
Seeing Qin Ze throwing it so casually, his face changed at the moment. At this time, Tang Jian was on the verge of breaking out, Qin Ze also shrank his neck, and hurriedly said, "Why don't Tang Shangshu go to the river with the kid to have a look?" ”
Tang Jian also knew that Qin Ze deliberately opened the topic, but he was really curious about the origin of these things, so he waved his hand and motioned for Qin Ze to lead the way.
The Jinghe River is in the length of Jingyang County, and it is only about 20 miles, and Qin Ze called on the people of a county to dig for more than a month, but it has only been cleaned up for more than ten miles.
And Qin Ze is not like before, no matter how much he digs a river in 3721, this river dredging naturally has its way. Naturally, you can't dig too deep where the river channel is narrow, because the flow speed in these places is too fast, and the river mud will not be deposited here. If it is dug deep, it will also cause the river to collapse.
As for the wide river, it is natural to dig deeper. In these places, the river flows too slowly, and it is easy for sediment to be deposited.
Qin Ze is actually also a half-ass, but fortunately, he is in charge of digging the river mud this time, so he can completely make his own decisions......
Wang Daoren has lived in the upper reaches of the Jing River since he was a child, and it can be said that he can plunge into the Jing River when he goes out and takes a big step.
And for this Jing River, I naturally love and hate, I love that all my income comes from this, and I hate that I have been washed down by Jing River three times. Even his little sister disappeared in the water.
Since then, Wang Daoren has been hanging on the Jing River all day long, and he is also very familiar with the entire Jing River. He even knew where there was a dark river in the Jing River, and where there were faults. But what is the use of these to him, the Jing River should still burst or burst, although His Majesty has sent people to dredge several times, but that kind of indiscriminate digging can only make the Jing River more dangerous.
But fortunately, now his opportunity has finally come, at the beginning when Hou Ye proposed to desilt, Wang Daoren also hesitated for a long time, and finally reported the opportunity to give it a try, and presented the river map he had made for more than ten years to Hou Ye.
Cangtian lived up to his painstaking efforts, he thought that this time it was another bamboo basket to draw water, but he didn't want Hou Ye to summon him personally.
"It's better to be blocked, and it's better to be clear. It is important to consider not only the amount of water in the river, but also the direction of the river. If the water is turbulent, it will be sparse, and if the level is slow, it will be clear. The reservoir should be diverted at the entrance of the dark river, and the fault riverbed should be diverted......"
Wang Daoren still remembers these words clearly, for himself who is illiterate, what Hou Ye said is simply the truth of the Great Dao.
Qin Ze actually only understood so much, but when he told it, he estimated that what he said was vague. It's not that he regrets these knowledge, but he is afraid that he will speak too clearly, which will make Wang Daoren lose the desire to continue to explore.
If this is really the case, then Qin Ze is not only not helping him, but harming him.
But now it seems that the effect is very good, at least Wang Daoren now reports to himself every day what he has comprehended, although sometimes Qin Ze can't understand it, but Qin Ze has a most foolproof preparation.
That is to use the river map provided by Wang Daoren to build a model for him. Sand is also placed on top of it, and it simulates the appearance of a large flood rushing through it.
When Qin Ze brought Tang Jian over, Wang Daoren was covered in mud and thinking next to the riverbed model. Tang Jian also saw this thing at a glance, and he forgot his purpose at the moment, but instead looked at it together.
Wang Daoren didn't know that someone was coming, he would be carefully observing the sand and gravel that had been dug up earlier. The sand here is very smooth and the particles are very small, which means that the water here is very fast.
However, looking at the river here, it is very wide, and the river drifters on the water surface do not move fast. There is only one possibility, and that is that there must be an undercurrent at the bottom of the river.
Thinking of this, Wang Daoren also slapped him, and then rushed down the riverbed, then picked up a few copper pendants and threw them in.
Because there is a copper pendant underneath, the drifter quickly sinks. Wang Daoren saw that the drifter was sinking, and he hurriedly wrapped an amniotic fluid blister on the silk thread at this end.
Because the copper pendant sinks underwater with a drifter, the flow velocity under water is also measured in this way. When he let go, he saw that the amniotic fluid blisters on the water surface were also running towards the downstream quickly, and seeing this scene, Wang Daoren also breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Ze and Tang Jian stood on the riverbank and watched Wang Daoren's movements, both of them fascinated.
Tang Jian was fascinated by the fact that he had never seen this kind of measurement before, and although things looked very simple, they were more useful.
And the reason why Qin Ze was fascinated was because he found that Wang Daoren had begun to deliberately record the time of the flow of amniotic fluid blisters, and apparently he had begun to realize that this could calculate the exact speed of the water flow.
Wang Daoren threw it back and forth several times, each time drawing horizontal lines of different lengths on the board. He couldn't write, and naturally he couldn't do arithmetic, so he could only use the length of the horizontal line to record the time when the amniotic fluid blisters flowed.
Finally got the answer he wanted, Wang Daoren also happily went to Lu Xianling, ready to tell him that the mud here could not be cleaned too deeply.
This time, I caught a glimpse of Qin Ze and Tang Jian standing on the river, and they also ran up with a wooden plank at the moment.
"Master Hou, I found another dark river." Although Wang Daoren said that he was already twenty-five or sixteen, the smile on his face was real.
Qin Ze saw that Tang Jian on the side didn't speak, he also nodded with a smile, and then reached out and took the wooden board in his hand, but he didn't know him at all.
Wang Daoren also stood aside at this time, and proudly explained: "A certain line will be drawn on the board at the same speed every time, and the length of these horizontal lines also represents the speed of the river. ”
Although this method is a bit stupid, I have to say that this is the best way for Wang Daoren. It's just that this is still not accurate enough after all, thinking of this, Qin Ze also smiled: "In the future, I will teach you an arithmetic, and then I will make an hourglass for you, so I don't need to use this method again." ”
"Master Hou wants to teach the kid arithmetic?" Wang Daoren was also stunned, such a great thing, but he never dreamed of it before.
Qin Ze nodded and said, "You can only take your time to recognize words or something, but this simple arithmetic is the most useful for you." ”
As soon as Qin Ze finished saying this, Wang Daoren's eyes suddenly turned red, and he saluted Qin Ze fiercely. Qin Ze naturally didn't stop him, nodded and let him get busy himself.
Tang Jian had been watching from the sidelines, until Wang Daoren walked away, and then suddenly said a sentence: "I'm afraid this is the purpose of you letting someone come with you, right?" ”
Qin Ze shrugged, looked at Wang Daoren who was running away, and said with a smile: "No way, this person is really talented." If no one recommends you, I'm afraid that your talent will be wasted, which can make you unbearable. ”
Talking to Tang Jian, Qin Ze didn't have to hide it too much. They are all smart people, and they know a lot of things in their hearts.
Tang Jian listened to Qin Ze's words, looked at the riverbed model again and sighed and said: "Although I am a little unhappy to be calculated by Hou Ye, if I get such a talent because of this, I am also willing, but Hou Ye is really willing to hand over this person to so-and-so?" ”
"Why not? Although the boy has a bad relationship with the Ministry of Works. But as a minister, you naturally have to consider Your Majesty, and if such a talent is cut off because of the boy's own selfish desires, it is the most painful thing. Water conservancy is by no means in the embankment, if it is done perfectly, it can also play a role in irrigation. What would the boy not want to do here? ”
Qin Ze's words are indeed from the bottom of his heart, the grievances with the Cui family are just political needs, and only this kind of thing that benefits the country and the people is what Qin Ze really values.
Hearing Qin Ze's words, Tang Jian also suddenly smiled, and then said to Qin Ze: "I thought that the Hou Ye was already disappointed in the court and was ready to retreat, but now it seems that he is too worried. ”
