Ouyang Xiuxin got an official position, a bachelor of Hanlin, a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and a member of Hebei East Road, Chang Pingsi...... It's a long string, what is it?

If you want to figure it out, you must first figure out the official position of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Da bullied orphans and widows, and the country was not right, Zhao Er bullied the eldest brother and bullied the nephew, which was worse than Zhao Da, and the disgraceful Zhao Song Emperor invented a set of extremely complex official systems in order to prevent others from following them, so that power and responsibility were separated and messy, so that it was convenient for the emperor to control.

Not to mention the details for the time being, Ouyang Xiu's three positions correspond to the position, official, and dispatch, and the post is used to treat the choice of literature, to put it bluntly, it is a bit like academic qualifications, the official is originally clear about the level of authority, the emperor of the Zhao family separates the functions and powers, and the official member Wailang only represents Ouyang Xiu's position and grade, what he actually does is to manage the Chang Ping of Hebei East Road, responsible for helping the people and relieving the people.

This official position is actually not small, and it is the same as the pacification envoy, the transit envoy, and the four giants who are on the same road as the criminal prison business.

However, Ouyang Xiu knew in his heart that he really had only one job, which was to assist Wang Ning'an and sell the spirits to the Liao Kingdom. Let him manage the regular liquidation, just to stabilize the grain price on Hebei East Road, and prevent a shortage of food after a large amount of wine. It's just that Lao Ouyang knows in his heart that Zhao Zhen's worries are purely superfluous, Wang Ningan's kid is extremely careful, and he uses sorghum to make wine, and all he cultivates is wasteland.

Not only do we not have to worry about food shortages, but we can also alleviate the contradiction between man and land.

Lao Ouyang is relatively relaxed, he doesn't go to the teahouse every day to drink tea and listen to the play, go to the restaurant to drink fine wine, taste food, and have a good time. On this day, Ouyang Xiu went home drunk, Ouyang Fa was studying at home, and when he saw his father coming back, he hurriedly sent a letter and a large basket of bacon.

"What a bold son, for the father's absence, how dare you accept gifts casually?" Ouyang Xiu angrily reproached.

Ouyang Fa said aggrievedly: "The child doesn't accept it, but they say that this is a bundle sent by you, so you have to accept it no matter what." ”

"Bundled?"

Ouyang Xiu was stunned, "When is my father going to accept apprentices, isn't this nonsense!" He sat down and looked at it twice, not to mention, this basket of bacon was all fat and thin of the best meat, tied with red rope, making it look like a wedding bride price.

"Someone must have arranged the old man again, and they will all send me back." Ouyang Xiu said angrily.

Ouyang Fa rolled his eyes and said tremblingly: "Dad, the child heard that it was Wang Erlang who said that he wanted to ask you to run a school in Cangzhou, so someone sent a bundle ......."

"What?"

Ouyang Xiu suddenly stood up, Wang Ning'an's little rabbit cub is too bold, when did the old man promise, you still dare to promise for me first, it is unreasonable!

As soon as he flicked his sleeves, he was about to go to Wang Ningan to settle accounts. But after thinking about it, anyway, if you have nothing to do, running a school in Cangzhou is not a bad choice.

It's just that there is a lot of money to run the school, so it's best to let Wang Ning'an come out!

Old Ouyang hated to think about it, and he put the bacon aside for the time being, noncommittal. picked up the letter again, and said casually: "This is also sent by Wang Ning'an?" ”

"No, it was sent by Uncle Yu."

Ouyang Xiu's face changed, and he hurriedly picked up the letter, the familiar font came into view, the person who wrote the letter was named Yu Jing, seven years older than Ouyang Xiu, when the new policy of Qingli was celebrated, the two of them were both officials, and they were both known for their bold and outspoken words.

Not long ago, Yu Jing was transferred to Beijing, serving as the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, this old man was concerned about water conservancy, and casually inspected the situation of the Yellow River, after entering Beijing, Yu Jing wrote several times, saying that the Yellow River flooded to the point of incurability.

Yu Jing left the capital for a few years, things are wrong, no one cares about him, the old gentleman persevered, and remembered his former comrade-in-arms Ouyang Xiu, who happened to be in Cangzhou, the place where the Yellow River flows, once it floods, the consequences are unimaginable. Yu Jing repaired the book overnight and asked Ouyang Xiu to help with the book.

After getting such a letter, Ouyang Xiu suddenly fell into deep thought.

Over the past thousand years, the Yellow River has been flooded continuously, especially in the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and there have been frequent problems in the river. Yu Jing is not a person who is a man of false words, if it were not for the seriousness of the problem, he would not ask himself for help.

But how to deal with it, Ouyang Xiu didn't have an idea for a while, he held the letter and didn't say a word. Ouyang was interested in quitting, and as soon as he came out, he ran into Wang Ning'an with a smile on his face, who was still holding a stack of things in his hand, and hurried over.

"Go and tell your father, just say that you want to see you later."

Ouyang Fa didn't move, Wang Ning'an took out a large bag of dried meat from behind him, as well as a packet of stove candy, Ouyang Fa immediately smiled, and took the initiative to remind Wang Ning'an that Ouyang Xiu was in a bad mood, afraid that something big would happen.

Wang Ning was playing a drum in his heart, he was full of hope that Ouyang Xiu could stay in Cangzhou to study, with this old man in charge, culture and education would flourish, just around the corner. can also take the opportunity to send Wang Jiajun's children to the name of the old master and become the disciples of the leader of the literary world, which will definitely be a big help in the future!

The calculation is very shrewd, Wang Ningan even did not hesitate to cut the first and then cook, the raw rice was cooked into rice, this time he came to Ouyang Xiu, regardless of the cost, not afraid of the price, he must take the old master!

Wang Ning'an, who was full of sadness, saw Ouyang Xiu, and gave him a joint book, on which thousands of people pressed bright red handprints.

"Drunkard peach and plum all over the world, people admire, think I Cangzhou is located in a remote area, culture and education are deserted, for many years, there has never been a Jinshi, thousands of children look forward to the famous teacher, such as He Miao looking forward to the spring rain, the drunkard can bear to let the children down? There are more than 1,000 people here, the heart of the fist, overflowing with words, the old gentleman refuses? ”

Wang Ningan pushed the children to the front, and Lao Ouyang really couldn't refuse, but he looked at the joint letter here, and then looked at Yu Jing's letter, and was in a dilemma.

"Wang Erlang, it's not that the old man is unwilling, he is really entangled in something."

"Is there anything bigger than edification?" Wang Ningan was full of grief and indignation, and his righteous words were stern.

Ouyang Xiu smiled bitterly, "It's the Yellow River, and the flood is coming." ”

The old gentleman did not shy away from it and handed Yu Jing's letter to Wang Ning'an.

Wang Ningan was suspicious and looked at it from beginning to end.

The more he looked, the more solemn Wang Ningan's face became, not to mention it, Yu Jing hit the point!

Since the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, in less than a hundred years, the Yellow River has reached more than 100 times, an average of once a year, sometimes even two or three times a year, the common people are miserable, and the imperial court has allocated a huge amount of money for river control every year, but it has never been effective. The flooding of the Yellow River is becoming more and more serious.

However, after the Qingli New Deal, due to the delay of party disputes, the funds for river control were not implemented, and in the past few years, the situation of the Yellow River has become worse and worse.

Yu Jing personally investigated, he believes that after the Kaifeng section, the terrain is flat, the water flow is slow, the sediment is seriously silted, the riverbed is raised, and it has almost become a hanging river, and the Yellow River course since the Sui and Tang dynasties has reached the verge of collapse, and if measures are not taken immediately, the Yellow River will be in danger of serious flooding in a few years......

Wang Ning'an looked carefully, Ouyang Xiu thought he didn't understand, so he explained: "In the second year of the Ming Dao, the old man once passed by Gong County, and saw the Yellow River for the first time, the terrain was convex and undulating, the mountains were stacked and towering, and the Yellow River water from west to east came out of Sanmenxia, and the turbulent river water rushed between the mountains, churning and roaring, and the sound of the turbidity waves emptying was deafening, and the momentum was majestic, indescribable, Li Taibai said that the water of the Yellow River came from the sky, and it really lived up to its name!" Ouyang Xiu recalled the memory in his mind and sighed: "The old man was still deeply fascinated by it at the beginning, but later he gradually realized that the water of the Yellow River is really a great harm to the world, and it is too dangerous for tens of millions of people to hang on the river." ”

"What is the old gentleman going to do?" Wang Ningan asked.

"Alas, the old man is ready to start immediately, go north from Cangzhou, survey the hydrology of the Yellow River along the way, report the situation to His Majesty, and implore the imperial court to allocate funds for river control, and the old man is willing to personally supervise the work and repair the Yellow River."

Wang Ning was taken aback, he didn't expect Ouyang Xiu to be a doer, and he really underestimated the old master in the past. It's just that Wang Ningan silently calculated the time, but I'm afraid it won't be enough...... In the eighth year of Qingli, in May and June, heavy rain fell along the Yellow River, the river water swelled, and the embankment broke at Shanghukou, which was less than 200 miles away from Bianjing, and the rushing river water rushed to the Daimyo's mansion......

I checked the official system, and then checked this section of the Yellow River...... The heads are big, sorry for being late! By the way, I recommend two books: "System Version of the Three Kingdoms", the theme is novel and worth a look! The food-themed historical essay "The Great Song on the Bite of the Tongue" is also very good!
