Chapter 299: Yuan Is Not a Thing in the Pool (1)

Li Wei was still thinking.

Since Wu Chengsi came back, he sent someone to investigate, specifically to investigate the martial arts, and the result was a big surprise when he checked it, there are a lot of martial arts!

is Wu Zetian's nephew alone, and the eldest uncle Wushi Liang has Wu Jingzhen and Wu Jingzong. The samurai let the family have Wu Youyi, Wu Youxu, Wu Youyi, Wu Youji, Wu Youning, Wu Yougui, Wu Youzhi, and Wu Youwang. The warrior Yi family has Wu Yizong, Wu Sizong, Wu Shangbao, Wu Chonggui, Wu Zaide, and Wu Qiuji. His own nephews include Wu Shensi, Wu Zaisi, Wu Sansi, Wu Chenghei, and Wu Chengye. Most of these nephews are still alive, and in addition to these nephews, some have nephews and nephews, and many cousins are still alive.

There are many names that are very familiar, but they didn't get to the court, and when they got to the court, the martial arts immediately flooded, no less than the disciples of the clan.

But I can't stop it, and my mother consulted herself, but she also made herself afraid, afraid that she would make something similar to Wu Chengji and Helan Minzhi again. I am afraid that this is also the condition for Yang Min and the others to return to the East Palace, and after thinking about it, he said: "The queen mother, in fact, the sons often think that the queen mother has been wronged in her mother's house. But the queen mother is the mother of the world, magnanimous, and does not care about anything. Besides, if there is no one in the court, it will also make the history books laugh. ”

Wu Zetian just smiled, and this sentence was like a person's words. But he didn't dare to relax, the second son Li Xian was jumping in the court, and the eldest was taking the second child to play. This boss is scheming and can't be taken lightly.

Li Wei said again: "The queen mother really transferred her relatives back, and the sons were very much in favor of it, but the sons also had one condition, after the transfer back, everyone respected each other." If the clan does something wrong, you can blame it, and even the queen mother can mediate and punish it, but you can't do it in the dark and let outsiders laugh at it. ”

There is a sentence that has not been spoken, and everyone can be scheming, but don't insult other people's wives at every turn, or kill people, and don't even give them a way to live. This is inevitably a bit too ruthless.

"The person who was transferred back this time will not, he has an easy-going personality, and he is by no means comparable to the heir."

"Who?"

"His name is Wu Sansi, and he is the youngest son of Yuanqing."

Li Wei was a little dizzy, and said after a long time: "Since the queen mother is willing, the sons have no objections." ”

"But you seem to be very dissatisfied."

"Erchen is not, if Wu Sansi comes back, Erchen is willing to give him 10,000 yuan to repair the mansion, but as long as you remember, the clan and relatives are as good as brothers."

"There is no need for money, the past few years have been good, and there is still money in the inner palace, as long as you can get along well, the palace will be happy."

After saying that, close your eyes, it's time to send off guests. Li Wei took his leave.

But this time Wu Zetian was very careful, just let Li Zhi issue an edict and recall Wu Sansi to any of the left Fengchenwei Zhonglang generals, Fengchenwei's predecessor was Qianniuwei, not leading the government soldiers, only responsible for the guards and guards, as well as the honor guard of the imperial court, although the position is high, the power is very light. There are also the posts of generals and generals. Not even a knighthood was awarded, and when the dispute with the Yongwang Party was fierce, almost no one paid attention.

Seeing this situation, Li Wei sneered.

There is no tube, to Danshui.

The difficulty of construction has increased, so the number of people hired has increased, and nearly 80,000 people have been hired in the two canals, mainly in the Danshui Canal. In fact, if it weren't for the good treatment, such a big project would also arouse public resentment. Coupled with some humane measures, some people even came for leather boots, quilts and cotton clothes. Therefore, it did not disturb the people.

There are also many new things in construction, which also speed up the construction process, such as the net pocket method to make embankments, or coke burnt stone, or cannon hammers, drilling machines. Nor can we ignore the role of gunpowder, and some people have calculated that if 12 tons of black powder are placed in an absolutely sealed space and exploded, it can produce 2.8 million atmospheres of pressure, which can stir up a mountain nearly 100 million meters high. But in practice, it is impossible, you can build a cave, the sealing is good, and it is not a problem to blow up a mountain hundreds of meters high.

This Li Wei also paid attention, of course, he couldn't say the air pressure, so he had to say that he didn't let the explosives wash away, and stacked dry mud bags on the gunpowder bag to form a pseudo-sealed environment. There are also many shortcomings, the first is that it is not pure, and the proportion is not very standard, and compared with the real black powder of later generations, it is slightly inferior. The second is the high cost. The clumsy refining process is also for confidentiality, and a special person is responsible for various procedures, and after seeing its power, this from top to bottom, no one has ever been sloppy. Not only gunpowder, but also the production methods of some military weapons such as bright armor and crossbows, officials are not allowed to divulge. But it was only a military weapon, and there were no secrecy measures for civilian use, and even Silla Japan was taught to make paper by hand.

The firecrackers on the market, in order to keep secrets, did not give a suitable ratio, each ratio was one to one, and then seven or eight kinds of common cheap substances were added without affecting the explosion. Therefore, this recipe leaked out, and no one was able to develop a truly powerful black powder. But in this way, the confidentiality is increased and the cost is also increased.

However, it reduces the difficulty of construction, and most of the time lifting stones and soil, compared with digging stones with hammers and chisels all day long, the amount of labor cannot be compared.

Yao Xuan and Wei Xuantong led officials to greet them, as well as a few students from *** and the Japanese Kingdom. Fight and fight, study abroad and study abroad, counting on them to spread the friendship of the Tang Dynasty, not only do not charge tuition, but also provide food and drink, and even provide them with expenses. So the ancient Chinese ruler Lei Datou did a lot of things.

When I heard that Danshui had been excavated into the mountainous area, I came to watch it one by one, and I saw if I could learn some advanced experience so that I could bring it back and make a contribution to the national water conservancy. **The formula was not obtained, but the production methods of the hammer and drilling rig were all asked from the mouths of the accompanying officials.

In this regard, Li Wei said that China will civilize the whole world, and finally the whole world will come to suppress China. But no official took his words seriously, and even turned the powerful big food into a small thing.

After a few words with Yao Xuanhan, suddenly a shocking explosion sounded, and several people stopped, and their ears buzzed for a while before stopping.

Yao Xuan sighed and said, "Your Highness, if it weren't for the emergence of various new methods, if Danshui Canal wanted to succeed, even if Emperor Yang was alive, it would be impossible. ”

Many sections of the river are drained, and most of the river beds below are stone formations, and this length requires a certain depth, and it is difficult to succeed with primitive manpower alone. Wei Xuantong still frowned, it was done, but he felt a little heartache when he spent this money. It is possible that this section of the Danshui Canal alone will cost more than one million dollars. If it were all primitive methods, I don't know how much it would cost, and I don't know how many people would die.

Then I entered Longju Village, I didn't see it for a few months, and I saw many new buildings, because in the canal repair, all the storefronts were very deserted, and only some people who were on vacation were hanging out. But by the end of spring tomorrow, when the canal is repaired and navigable, it will be prosperous.

Then the deliberations began.

The difficulty in the middle is not as difficult as the upstream. Li Wei said that the spiritual canal is not dredged, and the water system in the south of the Yangtze River is not like the north of the Zhun River, which is relatively stable, and the spiritual canal is still in use like Dujiangyan. However, it was very backward when it was built, and if it wanted to communicate with Lingnan and Lingbei, it had to be expanded at a great cost.

However, there are many methods of the Ling Canal, the upstream of the Danshui Canal will be used, such as the eight-character canal diversion and decompression, and then the "S" shaped canal, which is the large difference between the upper and lower rivers, so the ancients of the Qin Dynasty came up with an idea to build the canal into an "S" shape, increase the distance, make the slope slower, or build a steep gate in a place that cannot be rounded, that is, a lock, to the Tang Dynasty, the steep gate technology has not made much progress, but it has improved a lot compared with the original. Even damming and building a reservoir is, of course, a small reservoir, and it is impossible to build a project as huge as Dujiangyan, or like the later Danjiang Reservoir. This is also a helpless move, from the south of Danshui to Guanzhong, separated by a Qinling water system, such as Shangshan and other large mountain ranges, the drop is huge, and there is no way to solve it purely with fiber pulling.

The other is water diversion, which is also very important, no matter how deep the canal is dug and there is no water source, it still has no effect. Just like Cao Cao built five canals in Hebei, most of them could not be used by future generations because of the lack of water sources. The interception of water sources, one is from the Danshui water system itself, and even from other tributaries of the Han River, which will not affect other water transportation. But it is difficult, and it does not require navigation, and it must be as deep and wide as it can be lured. The water system of Weishui cannot be moved, and a movement may affect the future Zhengdang Canal and the current Guangtong Canal. Either the water source is cut off from the upper reaches of the Luoshui. Can't intercept too much, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, in order to have sufficient water source to navigate Luoshui, it took countless work, and finally made Luoshui navigable. Therefore, only a small part of the interception can be intercepted, and it is better not to intercept it. And from the Danshui to the west of the Han water other diversion to divert water. But looking at the vast mountains on the map, Li Wei frowned. Then he said to Li Junzan Cheng Renwei: "It's hard work. ”

"Your Highness has won the award, this is what a minister should do."

It turned out that Wei Hongji made a map, and Li Wei later revised it, and Li Junzan and Cheng Renwei took care of Danshui, and then drilled upstream for a long time before they had this third map. Even in order to divert water, the two also explored some mountain ranges and proposed the method of opening underground shafts to divert water from Longshou Canal, which was the tic-tac-toe canal in later generations.

Li Junzan said again: "I'm afraid that the project will be delayed." ”

No matter what you don't ask, you will care about it as soon as you manage it, because you are hired laborers, you don't have to worry about manpower, and some of them are poor people. But the only thing that cannot be missing is money, and the prince has heard of the "sale" of places again, and this time it seems that he is very enthusiastic, and he may collect more than one million or two million dollars for the prince. But the money left over this year is no longer enough to support this year's project. A portion of the money must be paid for this place. Either that's the market income. The merchants who went to sea made some money, and like a snowball, many changed ships, and more merchants went to sea next year. The income of Guangzhou Port can be deducted, and everything has just begun, and it will definitely not exceed one million. There is also a debt to be paid. Next year's project money may be enough, but in the year after tomorrow, the money will be tight, and the year after next year will be even more tight.

Li Wei pondered for a while and said: "Next year's finances will not be a problem, the year after next year will be a little tight, but the year after tomorrow will be dug into the Guimen Island River, and the Sanmen project will be terminated." The rest of the money will be moved to the Danshui Canal, really no, you make a two-handed plan, allocate another phase of the project, and postpone the completion by one year. Besides, it has been repaired to Longju Village, not far from the capital, and if there is an emergency, it can also be turned from the land. ”

It is not said that Shangzhou, nor to Shangzhou Zhoucheng, so far in that specific place, and Zhengdang Canal convergence, and continue to survey, even if it is repaired, do not attract water sources, this section of the upstream of Danshui, still can not be navigable, it can only be said that the difficulty of quarrying has increased upstream, but because the water is small, the difficulty of water has weakened.

This is also a way to do it.

After a few days of wandering around Danshui, an incident happened.

……

Li Ming returned to Suzhou, and the city department made a move.

The establishment of a port in Guangzhou, because the imperial court did not pay attention to it originally, was under the jurisdiction of the governor of Guangzhou. Later, in the hands of Li Longji, the department was officially set up and eunuchs were sent to manage it. This practice is very bad, eunuchs can not be personnel, they love money even more, and the phenomenon of greed for ink is very serious. Of course, officials were also corrupt, and later in the history of the holy years, because of the Guangzhou Governor Lu Yuanrui was rampant, forced to expropriate and rampant, Hu Shang was angry, and ordered Kunlun slaves to hide a sword in their sleeves, kill Lu Yuanrui and more than ten followers, board a boat into the sea, and fled after him. It is unknown whether this Kunlun slave is black or a black-skinned yellow man from Tianzhu.

Li Wei didn't know about this history, but Lu Yuanrui had already been transferred to Guangzhou in this year's election. If so, Li Wei should know how close he is to the period of great change.

Until Li Wei proposed it, the imperial court began to pay attention, so the negotiation formally set up a department, Li Longji attached great importance to the eunuchs, and now he did not attach importance to the eunuchs, and was ready to let the Taifu Temple send officials to take the jurisdiction. Li Wei added some suggestions, and the imperial court and local officials jointly managed and supervised. In order to prevent corruption, the imperial court also made some measures to understand, such as when each successor official took office, he sent a clerk to check the backlog accounts of the previous officials, etc., and if there were too many backlogs, or the accounts were not clear, they could not be handed over, otherwise the affairs left by the previous officials must be undertaken by the later officials. Or suddenly transferred, with Changshi and others presiding over the affairs, these backlogs and accounts can also be questioned. The term of office of officials in the border areas is longer, but the term of office of officials in the mainland is generally adjusted every three to five years. The same is true for the future officials of the city department, and the handover of state officials may find loopholes, and the officials of the city department can also find them. Intercept from both ends. Local and imperial officials supervised each other.

However, Li Ming is the prince, a son of the clan, and Suzhou Port is within his jurisdiction, and several officials of the City Department are afraid, and deliberately detain the goods on the ship of Liang Lu and the others, and stay slowly. There is no way, the prince's banner is a big drum, and he really doesn't even sell the prince's account, so Liang Jinzhu had to come to Suzhou from Yangzhou to deal with it in person, and then stuff a small red envelope.

This has fallen into the valley.

But Li Ming was still not satisfied, and he looked at the salt and sugar industry between Liang Jinzhu and Earth Horses, which needed salt and iron to cooperate. After Pei Yan left office, he transferred a Langzhong from the household department and called Tianshui. So Li Ming stopped in Suzhou for a while and arrived at the door of Tianshui.

If the governor of Yangzhou is here, he may not necessarily buy Li Ming's account, and he doesn't have Pei Yan's wisdom and skill, except for Tianshui, he has to come out hard. It doesn't matter the identity of Suzhou Thorn History, the main thing is that he is the king, because he is Li Yuanji's stepson, and he is expensive in the clan, otherwise it is impossible to put him in Suzhou.

Li Ming got straight to the point, waved his hand to let the subordinates who were in addition to Mingshui retreat, and then said, "You are seven and I are three." ”

"Your Highness, if you do this, it will arouse public anger, and besides, the identities of Liang Lu and Liang Lu are different."

"It's not for you to deal with just the two of them, this king gives you a list. It's really not good, you are eight and I are two. As he spoke, he pulled out a list from his bosom.

Still hesitating, I heard some things in the court, but except for Tianshui, I faintly felt that King Yong would not be the opponent of the prince, and offending Liang Jinzhu was equivalent to offending the prince. The prince was not angry, he was angry, and when he thought of this, he fought a cold war.

"What are you afraid of, as long as you do it beautifully, Pei Yan has also offended the prince, but now? Immediately promoted to the Yellow Gate Squire. ”

In addition to Tianshui, he thought in his heart, that is different, the people are the Pei family, famous disciples, which one is he counted?

"I forgot, there is still a gift list here, take it first, and then make a profit, and return it to the king." There are two lines of numbers written on the gift list, 10 million money, that is, 10,000 yuan, and 2,000 horses of fine silk.

Except for Tianshui's face, his face was cloudy, and after a while, he said, "I did it, but you can't interfere." ”

If you want to do it, you have to do it beautifully. Just like Pei Yan, let the prince stare dryly.

Li Ming laughed heartily and said: "That's it, besides, the king of the salt field in Chuzhou, Yangzhou, has no right to ask." ”

As he spoke, he clapped his hands with Tianshui.

With the sound of this palm, the result was very simple, either Liang Jinzhu and Earth Horse were completely destroyed, or Li Ming and Jie Tianshui completely stepped down.
