Chapter 39: Watching Fangcheng Qingxia from a Distance (7)

[Second Update.] 】

The work entrusted by Han Gang was completed perfectly, and Li Jie, who returned to Xiangzhou from Fangcheng Mountain, was standing proudly on the bow of the ship. From a distance, I saw the gantry crane that had become the symbol of Xiangzhou Port, and the self-satisfaction in my heart was even more difficult to suppress.

Turning back to the two companions brought out from home, the old and the young, he smiled comfortably: "This time I went back and saw Long Tu, and I can be regarded as able to explain." ”

The two companions were all happy, and the faces of their subordinates were earned by their masters. One is the cangtou who has served by Li Jie's side since he was a teenager, and the other is a scholar who is a companion when he is studying, and he is the closest. If Li Jie can rely on Han Gang to get an official and a half-job, they will have dignity when they come out, and in the future, the Li family will be separated, and a housekeeper position will be indispensable.

The older one said: "Han Longtu doesn't like to raise more customers, but he has always been the most generous to the guests who can do things. Fang Guan Gou has been in Wang Xianggong's house for a few years, and he has a lot of friendship with Long Tu's late brother-in-law, but he still came out here in Long Tu after the most Lu. Counting up, a few of the eight hundred who were accepted as staff members by Long Tu in earnest all got official positions, and none of them were missed. ”

Li Jie smiled and nodded.

Li Jie's scholar also said: "Long Tu is indeed a person who remembers an old love. The villain is the best with Brother Friday of the Long Tu family, and I heard him talk about how Long Tu treats. Brother Friday followed Long Tu to fight on Xihe Road back then, and I don't know how many times he walked at the moment of life and death, but he lacked a little luck. The hind legs of the most Lu are also wasted, and the hands can't grasp things, and the soldiers don't know how to accumulate, and they can't stay in the army after the most Lu, and there is only some reward money left after the success of the river and the river. On Friday, my brother and mother died, and after I went back, the family property was also divided, and I had to listen to the mean words of my brothers, if it weren't for Han Longtu, I would have starved to death. Many disabled veterans like him have thrown themselves into Han Longtu's home. The thoughtful one who built the spaceship for the dragon map is also missing a hand. ”

He babbled about it, and his wife said, "Xiao Yi is right, Han Longtu is indeed nostalgic." Thinking about Mr. Hengqu, and two famous Confucians who also taught him for a few days, he has never lacked the number of salutes at four o'clock and eight festivals. Fang Guan Gou has also been a staff member for a year and a half. This time, in order to make him an official, Long Tu handed over all the errands of the shipment to him. Now that the road is open, the rest of the credit is his. ”

"This waterway to the north, especially the section of Fangcheng Mountain, as well as the port and official road, is not Erlang, you are not supervising it, why should you take advantage of him?!" The scholar was upset for Li Jie.

"Who made him the old man that Han Longtu used to use." The wife said: "As long as you get close to Han Longtu, even if there is no benefit this time, you will not be able to have an official body in the future." ”

"What a future, this time it's not certain!" The boy corrected it immediately.

"The official body doesn't expect anything to be done immediately, if you can send a few people out to greet you, it will be in vain." What Li Jie said in his mouth was completely different from what he thought in his heart, but when he saw clearly who was fighting on the dock, his face changed completely.

Li Jie was really startled, Han Gang actually came out of the city to greet him, his straightforward temperament made him unable to pretend to be grateful for a while, full of surprise, "How can Li Jie be worthy of Long Tu to greet him!?" ”

Han Gang laughed, he didn't go out of the city entirely to greet Li Jie, but he didn't intend to explain anything. It's good to come casually, there are some things that don't need to be explained in front of Li Jie at all, "Ming Zhong, you have worked hard, can't you afford to let me take a few more steps?" ”

"Respect and humility still have to be exquisite." Li Jie accompanied him carefully, trying not to look at Fang Xing, who was standing behind Han Gang......

Han Gang shook his head and asked, "What is the current situation with the two ports in Sanyin and Sanyang?" ”

"The gantry cranes in the two ports in Shanyang and Shanyin have been repaired, and Li Jie also wants to inform Longtu and Fang Guan Gou earlier." Li Jie explained his actions to Han Gang, "There is Shen Zhizhou personally supervising in Shanyang Port, and there is also Fang Zhizhou in Ruzhou in Shanyin Port. There is no shortage of people staring at both sides, and it seems that there is another idea of competition, and it is estimated that there will be ten or eight days at most, and the docks on both sides will be able to be used......"

Han Gang looked at the respectful Li Jie, turned his head and glanced at Fang Xing with a happy face, and nodded with satisfaction, "Since that's the case, it's time to get ready." If it were a different year, no one would be in a hurry to do such a thing, but it would make people feel too idle. There is not much time left this year, and the time is very tight to send the autumn grain that has just been collected to the capital, and you need to work together. ”

Han Gang spoke, and Fang Xing and Li Jiegong responded.

Han Gang looked up and watched the slings on the gantry crane move back and forth, and in just a moment, a boatload of grain had already been transported to a nearby boat. The small boat in front had just withdrawn from the dock, and then another cargo ship laden with grain entered the dock smoothly under the shouting of a group of slender men.

After looking at it for a while, Han Gang turned around and smiled at Li Jie: "I originally thought that I would really use the people and the box army to work for a few days, but fortunately, Ming Zhong built the gantry crane." ”

Where did Li Jie dare to take credit, and hurriedly said: "Li Jie just did what Long Tu ordered, and he might not have been able to think of such convenience in lifting goods on and off the ship for decades." There are also those great craftsmen arranged by Long Tu, and they all have their own unique skills, and they have a lot of power in this matter. There are dragons to take care of and mention, and there are big workers to preside, even the early ten years old Huangkou Ruzi can also build the gantry crane. ”

"Don't be humble, I can see your hard work clearly." Han Gang said, "In this life, there are not many people I have seen who can compare with you. ”

Li Jiebu was humble for a while, accompanied Han Gang for a while, thought about it, and said, "Long Tu, the student has an idea." Now that the Fangcheng track has been completed, even the ports at both ends are about to be repaired. You should also think about the establishment of the monument. There is a stone tablet in the middle of the Fangcheng Pass, so that future generations can know the hard work of the Dao Longtu to get through the Xianghan Caoyun. There are also the gates of Shanyin Port and Shanyang Port, and both sides of Ruzhou and Tangzhou said that they would ask Long Tu to mention a word. ”

Li Jie participated in and presided over most of the labor service, of course, he wanted to leave a memorial. Although he didn't dare to steal the limelight from Han Gang and Shen Kuo, he was able to put his name on the tablet, and he didn't have to work hard for more than half a year, and it could also make him raise his eyebrows at home, saving him from having a good face for a few days after he went home.

"Wait, wait until you really see the merits, and then it's not too late to think about writing an article and erecting a monument." Han Gang glanced at Li Jie, who couldn't hide his disappointment, and smiled, "If Cao Yun is really successful, it will be of little benefit to the imperial court, and I can write to Jiayue to ask for an article." ”

"Wang Xianggong!" Li Jie raised his voice in surprise, but immediately shut his mouth in alarm. He didn't expect Han Gang's mind to be bigger, and he begged Wen directly to his father-in-law.

Wang Anshi was the first in the world, and even if Ouyang Xiu, the old master of the literary world, was still alive, he didn't dare to say that he could be pressed. Especially now that he has retired to Jiangning, I heard that his writing is getting older and hotter, and it is getting better every year. There is such an article by Wang Anshi to make it, and then choose a famous artist to write it, and it will be passed down through the ages.

Thinking of this, Li Jie's heart was excited. Although his mind was focused on the construction of tools, Li Jie still pretended to be a literati. What the literati want, money and power are all secretly, and what they really seek is a 'name'!

"In fact, the names of the two ports of Shanyin and Shanyang can also be changed." Fang Xing smiled and proposed on the side, "Shannan is yang, Shanbei is yin, Shanyang and Shanyin, there are too many duplicate names in the world." Didn't Shen and Fang say that they wanted the dragon map inscription? I just changed the name by the way. ”

"Don't worry." Han Gang still shook his head, "It's really done, and someone will want to give the two ports a good name." ”

The ports at both ends of the Fangcheng track are called San'in Port in the north and Sanyang Port in the south, and Han Gang didn't bother to give serious names to the two ports from the beginning. He knows very well that these two key nodes will soon be replaced with a nice and lip service name.

Today's Son of Heaven is a good person, a little more can be said to be a great achievement, like to name the newly repaired walled forts, post stations, Xihe, Qin Feng in the past ten years of newly repaired walled forts, there are three percent of the Son of Heaven's handwriting, such as Gangu City, and then such as Gongzhou Longxi, Xizhou Didao, all of which are the Son of Heaven.

If the Fangcheng Rail can really transport the 600,000 Shigang grain this autumn to the capital smoothly, with the temperament of Zhao Ji, the son of heaven, it is necessary to give the two new ports an auspicious and beautiful name

Han Gang didn't want to explain to the two staff members further, saying that the length of the Son of Heaven was still not very good, and the matter was not determined, in case Zhao Ji was not interested in this, he would be embarrassed.

After walking by the river for a while, Li Jie suddenly saw someone carefully turning over the reeds on the river beach, and he asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?" ”

"It's checking the water for snails." Fang Xing said, "You also know that the snail spreads the epidemic - Gu swelling, and if you get it, you will be blessed and shallow, and you don't expect to be cured." But the important thing is prevention. Therefore, the officials ordered to find the places where the snails breeded, and marked out the places where there were many of them, so that people could hide and walk. By the way, sprinkle some lime or something, and don't let it hurt anyone again. ”

Li Jie couldn't help but praise Han Gang in front of him and said: "Longtu is kind-hearted, and the people of western Beijing have finally been spared the suffering of the epidemic by relying on Longtu." ”

"I don't dare to do that." Han Gang turned around, "It's just a matter of doing your best." If it is an ordinary headache and brain fever, there is no need for the government to mix it up, and you can go to the doctor for consultation. However, the prevention and control of the epidemic is the responsibility of the government and cannot be ignored. As a Cao Si all the way, it happens to be an internal matter. ”
