Chapter 456 Crossing the River in Secret

readx;

The weather cleared, and the continuous rain ended. Meng Ruoying www.biquge.info has also given birth successfully, the child has landed safely, and Lin Zhao has no reason to continue to stay.

Although Lin Zhao really wanted to stay with his lovely daughter, the Yellow River breach in the Daimyo's Mansion had not yet been blocked, and the entire Hebei Road was still a vast ocean, and it was urgent for the Yellow River to control the water.

Lin Zhao, as the squire of the Ministry of Works and the minister of river governance, must immediately set off and go to work. So I had to say goodbye to my relatives at home for the time being and go to Hebei. Although going to Hebei is to govern the river, and it is not as dangerous as fighting in the northwest, except for Meng Ruoying, all the ladies also have the heart to go with them.

Unexpectedly, when I was about to leave, an unexpected joy appeared. It's not in vain that Marquis Lin has worked hard to sow seeds recently, and Chai Minyan and Zhe Wenxin have been happy one after another.

Just had a daughter, and the two ladies were happy, and the happy events were really overwhelming. Whether it was the Empress Dowager in the palace or Mrs. Lin in the small courtyard in the south of the city, they were very happy when they heard it. Lin Zhao, the father, is naturally happy, not to mention how beautiful it is.

Only Mu Sihong was a little sad, and her stomach still didn't move. But it was precisely because of this that she got a chance. The other ladies were either taking care of their children or were pregnant, so naturally they could not travel long distances. Mu Sihong can only follow Hou Ye north and take care of his daily life.

It's not a march to fight, and officials can be accompanied by their families when they go out, not to mention that it's a concubine, and it's completely okay to follow and wait. With such an opportunity, Mu Sihong is naturally happy to see it happen. After all, for a long time, you can be alone with your husband and exclusive to the rain and dew. Take this opportunity. You might be able to conceive a baby.

I saw little Qiuning born. The other sisters were pregnant, and Mu Sihong, who was the first to enter the house, was a little anxious, and she really couldn't sit still.

"Min Yan, Wen Xin, you take care of your body, if Ying's side is not yet full moon, I have to trouble you." Before leaving, Lin Zhao was really a little uneasy. The wives in the family are very expensive, and it stands to reason that they should be by their side at this time. However, there is something important to do, and there is no delay at all.

"Husband, rest assured!" Chai Minyan's ability is very good, and when Lin Zhao is away, he can play the role of the head of the family and handle everything properly.

"Yuelun, your sisters-in-law are not very convenient, and things at home will be more troublesome for you!" Now, Gu Yuelun has become the number one manager of the Lin family, and she needs to take care of business matters. Gu Yuelun's talent is also very good, and Meng Ruoying gave some advice. Coupled with a year of experience, it is now very hands-on. The Lin family's business is well organized. Now in this situation, she has to trouble her even more.

Mu Sihong left, and the affairs in the Hou Mansion were naturally handed over to Gu Qi. It's just that in the end, there are elders, and there are differences between men and women, Lin Zhao also thought that his uncle would have some obstacles in his identity, so some things are still indispensable to Gu Yuelun.

"Cousin, don't worry, I'm here!" Gu Yuelun agreed very happily, she already regarded herself as a member of the Hou Mansion. And it's not the external identity of my cousin, and there have been some subtle changes in my own positioning.

"Well, you're all fine at home!"

"Well, husband, don't worry, everything is fine at home!"

When the husband goes on a long trip, it is natural for the ladies to be worried. Simply, this time it's in the Daimyo's Mansion, and the distance from Bianjing is not very far, so as long as you have time, you can come back quickly. Now there are several treasures in the family, and Lin Zhao is sure that he is worried.

After parting with his family, Lin Zhao also hit the road.

The journey from Bianjing to Daimyofu is not very far, but due to the rain and flooding, the road is muddy and difficult to walk, and the trip will be somewhat delayed. After weighing it, Lin Zhao decided to go from Wuzhanghe to the boat owner first, and land near Qizhou to go north, so that he could bypass the breach of the Daimyo's Mansion, and the road was relatively easier to walk.

More importantly, you can first go to the lower reaches of the eastward flow of the Yellow River to actually investigate the conditions of the eastward flow of the river. In this way, it can be more conducive to one's own river governance, as a minister of river governance, if you do not understand the state of the river, it seems a little unreasonable. Although it shows that the people of the Moon Sect are already helping themselves investigate and collect information, it is better to see many things. Even if you pretend to show it to Emperor Zhao Ji, as well as the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, you have to go there in person.

What's more, Lin Zhao really wasn't pretending, he had another purpose for this trip.

His squire guard of honor went directly to the Daimyo's Mansion by land as usual, and he took Mu Sihong south along the Wuzhang River, crossed the Beiqing River, and then went to Bozhou. If he were to strike suddenly, he would shoot a false shot.

The most important task of going to Hebei is to control the river, which is a matter related to the life and death of the Great Song Dynasty, and Lin Zhao naturally does not dare to slack off. In addition to engineering matters, few people along the river have to deal with it. According to the news from Mingyue Sect, it seems that this time the river is not completely a natural disaster, and there are also ** elements.

So this time I went north, I had to deal with these. What is more important is to prevent them from making trouble, because with these people, it will not be easy for their own river control projects to proceed smoothly. It is also a precautionary measure, for the sake of the future, and there is an intention to deal with Han Xianggong behind it.

According to the news from Mingyuezong, Bozhou is a breakthrough here, and the problem here is also the most serious. Therefore, Lin Zhao naturally came to Bozhou first, and it was a very useful trick to visit secretly. Use the guard of honor to delay the trip intentionally or unintentionally, so that everyone's goal is to focus on the Daimyo's Mansion, and it is easy to do it yourself in Bozhou.

Although he suffered a loss during his secret visit in Gyeongju last time, Lin Zhao did not flinch. This time it's completely different, last time he was single-handed, but this time he was protected by the guards of Mingyue Sect in the dark. Gyeongju is a frontier land, where people like Lee Fu-gyu can cover the sky with one hand. But Hebei Road is the hinterland of the interior, and the distance from Bianjing is not far, even if it is Han Qi, the Xuanfu envoy, he doesn't dare to do anything, so there is no need to worry about safety.

On the big boat of the Wuzhang River, Lin Zhao stood on the side of the boat, looking at the scenery on both sides. After the heavy rain, the autumn is crisp and the scenery is beautiful. The river is also very abundant, and the boat is very smooth, so the journey is very smooth and quite pleasant.

Li Cheng stretched his waist, saw Li Cheng coming over, and knew that there must be something about it to report.

"How? All arranged? ”

Li Cheng bowed and said: "According to the instructions of the son, Li Gongyi began to make the Iron Claw Dragon and the Junchuan Loquat when he arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion, this is a matter ordered by the official holy decree, Han Qi does not dare to slack off, he is very supportive, and has made hundreds of finished products, which can be put into use at any time." ”

There are no special technical patents for the Iron Claw Dragon and the Junchuan Loquat, and there is no special technology, and they will be used on a large scale at that time. It can't be hidden at all, so there is no need to hide it at all. It's best to make it and put it into use as soon as possible, but it will be troublesome to make it in other places and ship it in the past, so it's best to choose the production base in the Daimyo Mansion.

Some things must naturally trouble Han Qi, but this is a major national event, and the emperor personally issued a holy decree, and Han Qi must be supported. Lin Zhao also used this method to let the ministers of the DPRK and China know that he was really going to control the Yellow River and was already starting to work. At the same time, it is also a kind of confusion for Han Qi, telling me that the thing I focus on is engineering, so that Han Xianggong is less vigilant.

But I'm afraid this is wishful thinking, Han Xianggong is always scheming, and it is not easy for him to deceive him. Therefore, Lin Zhao came up with such a plan to hide from the world and cross the sea, and let the squire guard go straight to the Daimyo's mansion, on the way, because of the road, plus it can be delayed, to buy time for himself. The Wuzhang River and the downstream canal are all the way smooth, so in this case, it is completely in time.

"Where's the cement?"

This is the most important thing, cement is such an important building material, it is of epoch-making significance. More importantly, it can be used not only in the engineering field, but also in the military in the future. The most important thing is that its economic interests are not small, and Lin Zhao will naturally not let go easily.

Li Cheng said in a deep voice: "Yu Yaofu is personally responsible for this matter, and he has already built cement kiln factories in the Daimyo's Mansion and several towns downstream. They are directly guarded by the forbidden army in Beijing, and they don't worry about leaking secrets. ”

"That's good!"

As early as when the construction of the cement plant began, Lin Zhao told Zhao that cement would also be used in the military field in the future. The land of Hebei is not far from the Liao country, and there may be its detailed contacts, and for the sake of secrecy, the cement kiln factory must be extra careful. Zhao Ji was convinced of this, and the cement plant adopted the method of joint operation by the government and business.

The Meng family firm was built and managed together with the imperial court, and Zhao Ji also knew that a project would inevitably cost money. The formula and process of cement are only available to Lin Zhao, and it is also appropriate to let Meng's firm make some money, which can be regarded as compensation for Lin Zhao. Some courtiers objected, but Zhao Ji didn't take it seriously at all, so it was over.

From this point of view, Zhao Ji is still righteous. However, the money spent on burning cement is really not worth mentioning compared to the management of the entire Yellow River.

At the same time, Lin Zhao is also very clear. If I manage the Yellow River well, everything will be easy to say. That's not possible, this matter will definitely become a reason for the officials to attack themselves, and when the time comes, the spitting star may drown people.

"Son, rest assured, Yu Yaofu is doing things properly, this is a matter for the official family, so the officials on Hebei Road are basically very cooperative, don't worry."

Lin Zhao smiled lightly, not to mention that he saved Yu Xuan back then, but he didn't expect to pick up a talent. Over the years, many things have been able to stand in their way. The most important thing is that he is his confidant, and when it comes to personal matters, it is naturally best to leave it to him.

"Well, what about Bozhou?" (To be continued......)
