Chapter 290: The Willow Tops on the Moon

Li Junzan did not use the word underground river, but used the eye of water, and said: "Your Highness, the minister observed it again, and found that the entire river did not rise and fall sharply, and there was probably no big eye of water. However, the flow of water is increasing one after another, and there will be no shortage of such water eyes. ”

There are no accurate observation instruments, so I have to use the word approximately.

Li Wei was pondering. He remembered his previous life, although this life was thrilling, but it was also a life wrapped in brocade and jade. Sometimes when I eat two coarse rice crackers at random, just a bowl of vegetable soup, the guards around me are already in tears and moved. In my previous life, when I was a teenager, I had a very hard time, but there were some times that were very hard to forget, such as pumping water and digging ponds in the countryside, and I would get a lot of fish from house to house.

It's not good.

Seeing that the prince was worried, Li Junzan said again: "There is still a way...... To deal with the water holes with little water, these water holes can be drilled with a deep pool below, and some ravines can be dug to connect them, and workers can be constantly sent to pump them with water wheels. The water eye with a large flow of water had to use a clumsy method to dig the uneven places, and the embankment was cut off here, and the water flowed and discharged. The other is to drain the water, and then dig a deeper gully to reach the deep pool. ”

It's easy to say, but it's hard to do. There will be a lot of work, such as the dam in the river, which is also negotiated, and a dam will be built at the expense of manpower and financial resources, the main water is shallow, and the requirements for the dam will be reduced, and after half of the dam is dug, the dam will be moved over, and the other half of the river will be repaired. On the cut side, as long as the upstream water level is cut off, the water can be discharged by using the water level difference, and then the low-lying places can be pumped with a water wheel, and the work can be started.

It is a primitive and backward method, but in addition to this method, is there any other method in this era? Originally, some of the water surface was very deep, and if we gave up, there were many large water holes, and it was inevitable that this embankment would be cut into small sections, and there would be no water level difference, and the amount of forced pumping work would be extraordinary. Digging out many ravines to drain water will inevitably bring all kinds of troubles to the chiseling stone, and also add to the amount of work.

The construction is mainly in winter, the original stone method, as long as the people get out of the way, stir up the cold water and drain it, so that the people's clothes can be kept dry, but because of a large amount of water, the whole construction site will become the first, regardless of whether the people are dead or alive, it naturally doesn't matter.

With such a reputation, how can you not consider the life and death of the people, and how can this be good?

Li Wei pondered for a while and said, "That's it." ”

The two canals are so far, like arrows on the string, they have to be sent. And the meaning of the current canal is not the future generations, at this time the traffic is both water and land, but how many goods can be pulled by the big carriage on the land road, the axles are not scientific, and the wheels are often broken. Transportation could only rely on waterways, and the significance of the two canals to the Tang Dynasty was more important than any highway or railway in later generations. Moreover, this is a big project that he presides over in the true sense, and where his political achievements lie, he must not fail.

Yao Xuan said in a low voice: "Your Highness, there will be a lot of expenses. ”

This new situation can be overcome, but in that case, it will inevitably increase a lot of expenses. For example, the amount of materials and labor increases, and more people have to be recruited. The surplus money prepared in the East Palace, the tax income of the sea market, and the appropriation of 200,000 yuan from the imperial court are very likely not enough. Of course, just navigating a ten-ton small board ship does not have to cost such a big thing.

"Financial matters, I have to find a way alone, but the rumors of this matter cannot be released."

It just so happens that many people are watching and hearing the news, knowing that there is a difference in money between the two channels, then the trend of the guest and the host is just the opposite, and the limelight of colluding and writing books or sending people to lobby will subside. Therefore, another sentence was added: "Whoever releases this news will be held accountable by Lone General." ”

"Whoa!"

Only then did he return to Caoqiao Pass. On the way, Li Wei continued to think about his thoughts, this is only the middle of Danshui, to put it mildly, it is still dredged, it is not considered to open a new canal, the difficulty is like this, how difficult it will be to the upstream section.

The plan is arranged, next year to excavate Longju Village to Shangzhou line, the year after the excavation of the Zhengdang canal, although there is an old canal, can be mostly leveled, the project is also not easy, the year after the big Luoshui and some other rivers into Dan, and finally open up the Zhengdang canal and Danshui. This is a total of six years, but when I think of the continuous mountains of Shangshan, I am afraid that there will be many variables, and there is a faint pain in my mind.

But if it is repaired, there are always benefits, first of all, Caoqiao Pass.

Now Caoqiaoguan is not a small town with only a few hundred people in the year before last, with the dredging of the lower reaches of Danshui, the goods coming and going have increased, many ships have stopped at Caoqiaoguan for transshipment, and the population has swelled sharply, increasing to more than 1,000 households, nearly 10,000 people. However, there are also bad things, such as Li Wei just returned to the street and saw someone shouting: "Catch the thief, catch the thief." ”

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old, ragged boy was chasing after everyone and fled in disarray.

Chased stunned and hit head-on. As a crown prince, it is impossible to be like a folk romance, wearing cloth clothes to inspect the people's situation, and taking care of any trivial matters, so that it is not called caring about the people's welfare, it is called pseudonym, which will make even the bigwigs in the court think that Li Wei is in a hurry, and his heart is cold. But when he collided, one of the guards grabbed him by the collar and grabbed him.

An obese businessman twisted his buttocks and ran over with his subordinates, the servant was just about to raise his feet and kick, Li Wei looked at the young man so thin that he was only skinny and bones, and put it in the afterlife, like a drug-addicted teenager who smoked a big cigarette and smoked too much, but now there is no big smoke, he can only say that he is malnourished, he raised his hand to catch this foot, and said, "Slow." ”

The merchant didn't know him, and said unhappily: "Thank you, Your Excellency, for taking the thief and letting me hand it over to the government." ”

Li Wei ignored him, turned around and asked the young man: "What is your name, seeing that you are not very old, why don't you study and learn to steal things." ”

The young man was in tears and said: "My name is Wei Xiaoer, since the passage of water here, many people in the town like to gamble, and my father also likes it, and he loses all his property, and his mother leaves, and his father doesn't take care of the house......"

He cried as he spoke.

Divorce means that the parents are divorced, and the Tang Dynasty has it, and it is also allowed, but it is more difficult, especially if women divorce men, they may be punished. The other is the slave and the ministry, the slave and the maid are the cheapest, and the marriage can only marry the slave and the maid to each other, if the master takes a fancy to it, it can always be a concubine, and cannot be a wife. The tribe is slightly better, and can marry a lover, but most of the marriage is controlled by the master. There is no freedom in either.

He said that he will not refer to the past, but to the prosperity brought by the Danshui governance, the people's lives must have improved, as long as they are not lazy, they can also support their families. A smart person will make a lot of money by opening an inn and a wine shop, or if it is not good, he will open a green house. But it is inevitable that some people will also be dazzled by the coming prosperity and become infected with bad habits.

The big fat man was impatient and said, "Your Excellency, he stole my money, let me take him to the official mansion." ”

I don't know what it is, I was wearing brocade forging on my body, and I was better dressed than Li Wei, but I saw a large group of people behind Li Wei, and their words were a little soft.

Li Wei still ignored him and said, "You will take out the stolen money." ”

As soon as the young man's hand was released, it was a piece of silver cake, about seventeen or eighteen taels, no wonder the big fat man chased after him so quickly.

Li Wei returned the silver cake to the big fat man, and the big fat man was still a little unwilling, and said: "He stole the money, and he has to hand it over to the government." ”

Tang Lu Li Wei didn't pay much attention, and he didn't take Tang Lu as the same thing, if the rule of law was a person, first of all, most of the people in the palace would have to be arrested and punished according to law. This is an era of the law, but it works for ordinary people. The more money you steal, the heavier the crime, which is also a theorem in this era. Seventeen or eighteen taels of silver, the crime is not small, and the young man trembled with fear.

Li Wei said: "The money has also been returned to you, he is still young, let him go." ”

"Why put!" Seeing that Li Wei's tone was soft, the big fat man's tone hardened. The main line is cloth clothes, the top is good, and the people below also follow the study, the officials are all dressed in cloth, and the guards are armed, but they are not wearing armor, for fear of disturbing the people. So the fat man was a little bolder, and when he arrived at Caoqiao Pass, it was not Li Wei, many businessmen also brought many famous subordinates.

Li Wei still ignored him, he was just a businessman, led by Wu Chenghe's housekeeper, and he didn't consider his feelings, looked at Wei Xiaoer, and said, "This stealing is not a long-term solution, why don't you follow me, how about you take a bite of food?" ”

Wei Xiaoer has not been far away, but many people of all kinds have come to Caoqiao Pass, and he has opened his mind again, and he can still see about the good people and bad people, and nodded heavily. It's not okay to arrange too many people, it's not a problem to arrange one person, just arrange him in the guards, anyway, there are many meritorious descendants in the guards, there are good ones, and there are also wine bags and rice bags, not bad for this person. It's time to grow your body again, and if you eat well, you may be able to get stronger.

The fat man was still verbose, Li Junzan couldn't stand it, and saw that there was a servant arriving not far away, knowing that the prince was low-key and didn't like publicity, he came to the fat man and whispered in his ear, the fat man's face changed greatly, and he immediately bowed down and said: "The subjects deserve death for their crimes, and the subjects deserve to die for their crimes." ”

Li Wei didn't help him, and came to a new house outside the town. It's not gorgeous, it's used as an office place, and there's another place in Longju Village. As the prince's palace, it was simple, but Li Wei was used to it casually, and when he inspected the entire Danshui, he also stayed in tents, and he also stayed in tents in the barracks, which was not considered a fake. However, the scenery is also elegant, deliberately bringing in a small stream, there are a few thick cypresses in the big yard behind, and a piece of green bamboo, when the wind blows, it rustles. There are several stone tables on the edge of the bamboo forest, and there is a rockery transported from the back mountain behind it. Not far from the new house, near the Danshui River, there is a row of buildings, which are warehouses for various materials.

This new housekeeper knows that the people who can move in are all high-ranking officials of the imperial court. I don't know what a big official is, maybe a county Cao is a high official in his eyes. Seeing Li Weijie walk in directly, he asked in a low voice, "May I ask who Ah Lang is?" ”

"Why do you call me Alang?"

"I have nowhere to go, only to see you as Ah Lang."

The surrounding guards all laughed, wanting to call the prince Ah Lang, but Wei Xiaoer still lacked qualifications. But Li Wei did not leave immediately, and stayed in Caoqiao Pass for many days, first, he continued to inspect carefully, for fear that there would be any more demon moths. The second is to check the materials, especially when new situations appear, there are many water trucks. I'm still waiting for someone.

A little far away from Caoqiao Pass, you can only see that the lights are still closed on Caoqiao, and you can faintly hear the noise. But it was quiet in all directions, and a bright moon hung on the branches, and the Danshui was bathed in silver brilliance. The green hills on both sides of the strait were silent, and the distant scenery was also diffused by the moonlight.

A small sailboat was quietly moored at the edge of the Dan River, Li Wei walked over, and four girls greeted the bow of the boat.

Di Hui is still wearing a white dress, and her slender figure in the moonlight is like a fairy under the moon.

Yang Min was wearing a green dress, and she was four years older, which was the best time in her life, and her figure was graceful, just like Xizi playing a yarn next to Yuexi.

Di Hao was wearing a pink dress, but it was extremely bright.

Xu Li is wearing a floral skirt, she hasn't seen her for more than two years, and she has grown up, but she is more and more fresh, and her body is full of youthful beauty.

But looking at the four beautiful girls, Li Wei actually found that he had become raw......
