Chapter 156: The new official position is known

The first people to become popular with the ice lantern were not people from the north.

The people who like to use ice lamps in the capital are not ***, nor are they a family, they are businessmen, and after the fifteenth day, someone will follow and learn.

A low-status craftsman can carve a very beautiful ice lantern with a little money, and the empty space in the middle is a little larger, or the bottom is off the ground, and the candle can be put in without worrying about extinguishing, but if it is not possible, dig a hole in the ice where it is not easy to be found.

Merchants use this as advertising signs, especially in the two most lively places in the night market, where people will make an ice lantern in front of each shop, even if the weather is gradually warming.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan finally knew where Li Xun was going after fifteen, and he was named the king of Tong'an County, in Huainan Province.

Often, a fief like Li Xun will not let him pass, but only collect a part of the local tax, which is more of a name.

But for various reasons, Li Xun really had to be sent there.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan really don't know if the two of them have changed history, or if the history they have been to is like this, Bi Gou, who should have hung up, is still alive, and Li Xun, who also died early, has been growing up healthily.

The two of them are now studying this Tong'an County, I don't know what place it is, I started to think it was in Xuzhou, the name was too messy, and I always changed it, and then I felt that it was wrong.

Fortunately, the two of them have maps, which were sent by the local government, very detailed, for the sake of playing games and let people explore, military maps and commercial drawings, in addition to the palace of the detailed map of the country, the other copy is in the hands of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, the two of them need to summarize and distribute benefits.

"Taihu Lake, I saw Taihu Lake, so it is not far from the sea, it belongs to Jiangsu Province, right? No, it's not a lake, it's a place name, where is that? ”

Wang Juan found the word Taihu from the index, and only after being happy did he find out that it was wrong.

"That belongs to Anhui Province, up the river, down the river, is Jiangsu, a little different from what we expected, how big can Li Xun manage? Tong'an County, is it a county or a state? It's okay to say the state, it's okay, it's smaller than the normal state, and it's not wrong to say the county, but it's bigger than the usual county. ”

Zhang Xiaobao was worried there with his chin in his hand, he hoped to be closer to the sea and convenient for transportation, not necessarily to make money through logistics, mainly to sell local specialties and buy useful goods back.

"Come, look at the map, find the specific location, next to the Yangtze River, the transportation is simple, oops, will there be frequent floods?"

Wang Juan's hand was on the map, where a river was clearly drawn.

Zhang Xiaobao compared the map, "It doesn't look like a flooded terrain here." ”

"Why not, if the Yangtze River goes all the way to the east, it's okay, but when you get here, it's better to turn to the northeast, such a big amplitude, just like a few words of the Yellow River." The more Wang Juan looked at this place, the more he felt hanging.

Zhang Xiaobao was depressed, how could he face danger wherever he went, stared at the map, and said later: "I don't believe it, we can send water when we go to the place this year, I decided, go to the place, no, now let's see if we have anyone to do business in the local area."

Plant trees, plant more trees, plant hard along the Yangtze River in Shuzhou, repair the embankment, if there is really a big water from the upstream, rush to the opposite side, the willow tree grows fast, and it is easy to survive, you say that the trees are not too damaged now, why can you send water? ”

"It has nothing to do with this, if a large amount of vegetation is destroyed, then water is inevitable, but it does not mean that there is no water when there is a forest, the geology has been changing, besides, what is the use of you planting trees? It's not a sudden flood that accumulates upstream, so if you really want to plant it, go upstream and plant it. ”

Wang Juan does not complain about any environmental damage, even if they are planted with trees, it can only reduce some disasters, it is impossible to put an end to them, not to mention that there are more trees and forest fires are prone to occur, as long as the earth is still rotating, as long as the geology is still changing, no one can say that I am not affected by disasters here.

The only way to do this is to minimize the odds and invest more money in preparedness and emergency response.

Of course, the Tang Dynasty did destroy the vegetation for food, but the creation of the desert must not put all the responsibility on cutting down trees, there are many reasons that can cause environmental changes, and human beings are just a part of it.

Zhang Xiaobao wants to plant trees, Wang Juan does not object, since man-made can be destroyed, they can also fight with the sky to maintain, and in the process of increasing and decreasing, it can really make many disasters that should not happen disappear.

But she and Zhang Xiaobao can't go upstream to stop people from destroying forests and making land, unless they can find more productive food sooner, where will the people care about environmental protection? Rather than a disaster that you may never encounter in your lifetime, the most important thing is to have enough to eat tomorrow.

"Xiaobao, otherwise, let's work hard to repair the embankment, it's useless to plant trees in just one place." Wang Juan proposed.

Zhang Xiaobao smiled and said, "I don't know that planting trees is useless for floods?" It's just an excuse, there must be all fertile land next to it, if you want to plant trees, will people let you? And not to consolidate the embankment?

I don't have a deep impression of this place, my father has to develop it in the past, the transportation is not as good as the local canal through the place, and the mineral resources are not easy to develop, don't you want to point out of the line?

Look at the map to know that there is not a big place, as long as the planning is good, planting food will not be delayed, but also to plant some medicinal materials, I found that now people use medicine to pick, not plant, we used to plant willows, in the name of disaster prevention, in the willow spacing planted medicinal materials, and sell medicine in the future.

A hundred years of ginseng may have a variation, that is, a certain element is different, but I don't think there is any difference between 20-year-old ginseng and 5-year-old ginseng, it's a big deal to increase the dose, ginseng can't be planted now, then it can be planted. ”

"That's what you think? But where can I sell the medicinal herbs after planting? Only then did Wang Juan understand that Zhang Xiaobao's mind was actually not focused on any disaster at all, and the excuses were all excuses.

"Of course, it was sold to our own home, sold to our hospital, I don't know if it was because of the deformity of social development at that time or the deformity of society now, you say that doctors are important, it is really important, treating diseases and saving people, even there are imperial doctors in the palace, on the other hand, their social status is too low.

Craftsmen can help us in organizing competitions, and doctors should be the same, this profession is the same as teachers, and if we can ensure morality, it will play a very big role in promoting the development of society.

I am ready to wait until the day when I can directly let my people in Datang enjoy very low-cost treatment conditions, in the spirit of internationalism, good things should also benefit other countries or races, and in advance, before the people of Datang can enjoy good medical treatment.

The price is also lower, for example, one stone of copper ore can be exchanged for a pill to treat colds and other medicines, such as Yinqiao tablets in traditional Chinese medicine, which is to help them, as well as the *** who have been living peacefully with us, they also have to enjoy the same or higher treatment, there is a lot of silver, right? One or two silver, in exchange for such a big pill, you can consume food, cheap. ”

Zhang Xiaobao finally showed his bad stomach, and drew a circle with a diameter of about three centimeters with his hand, indicating the size of the pill.

Wang Juan nodded, "I understand, you plan to pass on the money lost in the internal subsidies to others, the benefits you said are only for the people of Datang, and then let others pay the bills, what is the difference between that and our Western countries at that time?" It is through various means that they put pressure on the welfare of their own people on other countries. ”

"That's different, the social system is different, people are capitalist, I am very disgusted, what I want to defend is imperialism, compared to our time, the current medical care is backward, but now it is advanced for other places.

The people of other countries yearn for Datang now, just like our yearning for Western countries in the first 50 years, and would rather spend 50 or 60 yuan to buy fried chicken at a foreign chain store with international standard charges, rather than buy a roast duck for 30 yuan. ”

"It's not the international standard price, and the money you ate abroad at that time was cheaper than the currency at that time." Wang Juan also knew about that period of history.

"Pull it down, what's cheap, isn't it cheap to have less things, there are no vegetables, the price of vegetables in foreign countries is high, and the emphasis is on nutritional matching, to China is only meat, vegetables want a la carte, thanks to the fact that I didn't live in that era, go, find Grandpa Bi and ask, has my father's thing been implemented?"

Zhang Xiaobao seemed to have studied the history of that period, and pulled Wang Juan to ask about his father.

As soon as the two of them found Old Man Bi, Old Man Bi spoke first and said to the two people: "Xiaobao, Juanjuan, you should rest assured now, the place has been decided, and the officials from Sanpin will be in hand." ”

"From the third product? I thought it was on the fourth grade. Zhang Xiaobao was stunned for a moment, and at the same time had other thoughts in his heart, he thought that Shuzhou was a Zhongzhou, that was the official of the fourth grade, and now his father is the fourth grade.

Since it can be attributed to the three products, it must be the history of Shangzhou, Shangzhou, there must be more food, and the economy must be prosperous, is that place really so good?

While Wang Juan was happy for Zhang Xiaobao, he also asked, "Grandpa Bi, what about my father?" My father is still a loose official under the fourth grade. ”

"This ...... It's not easy to do this, and I'll find a way to find an opportunity later. "Old man Bi didn't expect Wang Juan to ask his father for an official at this time, it is indeed not easy to achieve this wish, just arranged for Zhang Zhong, that is the position where the interests are exchanged, and another one will be added immediately, which is a bit excessive.

Zhang Xiaobao knew that Old Man Bi also tried his best, he was a person who was already idle at home, and he could still help, it was not easy, and he did not get any benefits in the middle of the benefits.

Since it's not easy to do, let's put it off.

"Grandpa Bi, when will my father take office? You can't delay spring ploughing. Zhang Xiaobao asked what he was most concerned about.
