Vermilion birds and white tigers use cinnabar, and green dragons and basalt are colored with ink. Until the time of the year, a pair of antique Chinese playing cards came out. After Zhu Changhao told the four of them a few routines, the four of them had a lot of fun at once.

What upgrades, fighting di, digging pits, can't stop when it's time, but Liu Zilian wants to rest early because she is pregnant, and the game is gone.

Just when it was dispersed, Dong Wanning said, "Lord Wang, the concubine thinks that after printing and cutting this playing card, it will be popular all over the world in the future, and it will definitely be able to earn a lot of money for the palace." ”

Zhu Changhao listened to it and said with a smile, "Then the matter of making a fortune with playing cards will be handed over to you." ”

Early the next morning, under Qiao'er's service, Zhu Changhao changed into the crown dress of the prince, the bright yellow robe of the prince, and a pair of dragon pattern cloud climbing boots on the soles of his feet.

Dressed in a nine-fold crown, with paulownia wood as the 綖 (yán) board, covered with Qi outside, Xuanbiao (upper) Zhuli (lower), front and back, front and back hanging nine, each with five-colored reeling (zǎo, with algae) through red, white, green, yellow, black five-color jade beads nine. Use jade hengwei crown, fill the ears with Xuan Zhen (dǎn) at both ends, use green jade beads, and bear white jade at the bottom. The crown is inserted with a golden hairpin, tied to Zhu Hong, Zhu Ying.

He is still holding a seven-inch jade gui in his hand, this thing is in Zhu Changhao's hands, just like the ring ruler in the hands of the old master who teaches in the palace.

Just in order to wear this set of crown clothes, Zhu Changhao was sweating in the past hour.

At the right time, all the officials above the seventh rank in the Hanzhong Mansion gathered in the Zhengqi Hall, waiting for Xu Guangqi and Li Zhizao to be appointed to any official positions, and everyone had no bottom in their hearts, because Zhu Changhao's appointed official position was sometimes imaginative, although it was related to the Tang Dynasty's three provinces and six ministries system, but now it has been changed beyond recognition by the prince.

Huang Zhong Dalu's voice has risen, which means that the time is coming. It is said that this Huang Zhong Dalu, who was appointed as a civil official, played the music "Taiping Order" in ancient times, and when he worshiped the military attaché, it was also the ancient music "Qin Feng, How Can He Say No Clothes".

These two pieces of music are played by five-tone and twenty-rhythm chimes, and Zhu Changhao does this to tell everyone that this is the tradition of our Chinese nation, and the things of our own nation, that is the best.

"Taiping Order" in the lingering chimes, Zhu Changhao entered the Zhengqi Hall, after the royal officials saw the ceremony, Sun Chengzong as the ceremonial officer of this time, announced the appointment of various procedures.

After being loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the prince, he was awarded a seal, a letter of appointment, and a sword. The meaning of the sword is that the civil officials in the palace are no longer weak scholars who are powerless, but must have the all-round power of the six arts of a gentleman, and 'etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics' cannot be bad.

Finally, after the oath is taken, the ceremony is over. The final result was to award Xu Guangqi the education yamen squire and the water conservancy yamen squire; Awarded to Li Zhizao the Yamen Shilang of the Criminal Department and the Yamen Shilang of the Land Department. After all, when Li Zhizao was young, he once surveyed and mapped the map of the thirteen political envoys of the Ming Dynasty, which was quite accurate, and later, together with Matteo Ricci, made a screen for the Wanli Emperor to make a complete map of the Kunyu of all countries.

After these announcements were completed, Zhu Changhao directly announced the center of the political cabinet, including "Sun Chengzong, Qu Shiyun, Song Yingxing, Xu Guangqi, Li Zhizao, Wang Zheng, Yu Yuzi, Sun Yuanhua"

The "Military Cabinet" also came out, "Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, Li Zhizao, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Chen Qi, Deng Rujiao, Wu Yankai, Zhao Yuanyi, Wang Zheng".

The standard for the "political cabinet" is nine people, although it was previously stipulated that it was seven people, that is because Zhu Changhao's previous consideration was a little poor, so it was designed to be nine people. The "military cabinet" has 27 members, but once a cabinet member goes out to lead troops, his cabinet rights must be nullified, and he can only do so when he returns to the cabinet, and the same is true for the political cabinet.

In this way, once all the members of the cabinet have been decided, things can be greatly eased in the future.

It took about an hour and a half, and by the beginning of the day, all the affairs of the cabinet, including the division of functions of the various chief officials of the yamen, and the criteria for the later entry of cabinet members, for example, to manage which one, the chief official must have been in charge of this work.

For example, to be an education yamen, you must have the experience of teaching as a teacher, and you must not be a layman leading an insider. The land yamen must have a full understanding of the country, what hills, mountains, plateaus, basins, plains, glaciers, and sea frontiers, we must have a certain understanding, if there is a new frontier every year, the land and resources yamen will be divided into the Ming Dynasty territory map, islands in the ocean, coral reefs are also.

Zhu Changhao said to Li Zhizao, the servant of the Yamen of Land and Resources, "There is not an inch of the Ming Dynasty's sea and land frontiers that are redundant, and the territory of the Ming Dynasty can only grow, not shrink, and whoever shrinks will be the sinner of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Regarding the responsibilities of these yamen, as well as the promotion regulations, Zhu Changhao said very strictly, especially for the land of the Ming Dynasty, the sea frontier, and the law, the requirements are particularly strict.

The subordinate officials of the palace present heard Zhu Changhao's positioning, and they praised the prince's expression in their hearts.

This appointment, to be honest, Zhu Changhao said a lot of very strict words, and it also made all the subordinate officials of the palace have a heavy harvest.

came down to the palace for lunch, and Zhu Changhao actually arranged a farmer's meal. What dumplings, wild vegetable dumplings, wheat bran porridge, elm money cakes, and some wild vegetables, garlic eggplant, cold dandelion, cold walnut flowers, locust rice soup cakes.

The big people in the palace who ate directly stretched their necks, why, because they were all meals with little water in clear soup, and they couldn't even see a trace of oil, and they tasted too rough and pierced their throats.

This is equivalent to a bittersweet meal, during which Sun Chengzong said, "In the second year of the Apocalypse, when I went to Liaodong to fight against the wild boar Pinuerhachi, I ate Yuqian rice, but in the end, I still failed." ”

After speaking, the old tears were all over the place.

Xu Guangqi also said, "When I went south that year and went to Guangzhou to teach, I ate dandelions and rice porridge that I could see at the bottom of the pot, and I survived. ”

Maybe everyone has different sufferings, just like the poem says, "The moon bends and shines on Kyushu, a few families are happy and a few families are sad", that's all.

Zhu Changhao remembered that in the 21st century, many people also like to eat wild vegetables, what pure green food, aphrodisiac, health care, pollution-free and the like. But in the Ming Dynasty in the seventeenth century, these were symbols of suffering.

The political and military affairs cabinet have been established, but it cannot be said that the horses are put in Nanshan, and the knives and guns are in storage, so Zhu Changhao is estimated to be torn apart.

After the appointment, the afternoon was so leisurely, Zhu Changhao and the big housekeeper went to the Han River to have a look.

The Han River at the beginning of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, if calculated by the solar calendar, it happens to be May.

On the riverside, the water level of the Han River has reached a precarious point, and the large sailing ship of 600 materials is no longer able to sail. If it continues like this, the Han River may be cut off in July and August, and Zhu Changhao absolutely cannot tolerate it, and the lifeline of his own water trade route will be cut off.

Therefore, the development of water sources has become an urgent need at the moment. I remember reading Li Daoyuan's "Notes on the Book of Water" before, and learned that this Hanzhong is actually talking about the middle of the Han River, so where is the beginning of the Han River and the source?

Zhu Changhao remembered the Guangyuan Mansion in the southeast of Hanzhong and the Jiezhou Mansion in the northwest.

On the top of Guangyuan Mansion, there is a Jialing River, and the source of the Jialing River is mainly the Bailong River and Baishui River in the territory of Jiezhou Prefecture.

In this, the upper reaches of the Bailong River belong to the Western Han River, the Han River used to be called the Han River, and the West Han River is a tributary of the Han River, the problem is that this tributary was cut off by an earthquake during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

That is to say, the Han River originally originated, Qinzhou Mansion in Gansu, and the historical records were recorded in ancient times by the Jialing River, and a tributary to the east from Luoyang Qiang Jian! The Han River then flows along that tributary into the Jialing River. Since then, the upper reaches of the Han River have been called the Western Han River and have become the western source of the Jialing River. Baoji is only the source of the Jialing River, the east source of the Jialing River is the smallest and shortest source, the Jialing River is the source, and the Bailong River is the most authentic source of the Jialing River.

Li Daoyuan, "Notes on the Book of Water"; Volume 20 "Yangshui Danshui" original text; "Yangshui out of Longxi Didao County Lingzun Mountain, east to Wudu Fu County for Hanshui.

The Wudu mentioned here is the Jiezhou Mansion of the Ming Dynasty.

Chang Xuan's "Huayang National Chronicles" said: Hanshui has two sources, and the east source comes out of Yangshan in Wudu Didao County, which is Yangshui.

"Yu Gong" guides the eastward flow to the Han Dynasty. The west source is out of the Lingzun Mountain in Xixian County, Longxi, and it will be white water, and it will sprout into the Han Dynasty. Baishui is the Baishui River, one of the sources of the Jialing River.

The origin is said. According to the water out of the East Wolf Valley, the county into the Han Dynasty. "Hanzhong Ji" says: To the east of the mound, the water flows eastward, and to the west of the mound, the water flows westward. That is, its topography is the source of the flow, so the custom is to take the mound as the watershed. That is to say, there is no reason for the water to enter the west. Liu Cheng's clouds, there is water from Chuyang County, south to Zitong Hanshou, into the big cave dark through Gangshan. Guo Jingchun also said yes. The hole in Gangshan is small, and it does not allow water, but the water flows into a large ze, and Hanhe. Yu Zhongyong also said that the Han River from the Wusui River, south into the Mange Valley, cross-country cattle, to the Guancheng Hexi Han River.

Later, according to the historical data published by the Shaanxi Provincial Historical Records Office in 1986, the ancient source of the Han River was not in the Micang Mountain in the north of Ningqiang County, Shaanxi Province, and when surveying the topography of the Luoyang and Ningqiang sections of the Baocheng Railway in the 50s, experts confirmed that the ancient river channel remains here are the old riverbed connecting the Han River and the West Han River, and the birthplace of the Han River should be the source of the West Han River in Tianshui Mountain, Gansu Province. According to the analysis and speculation of historians and geologists, the age of the flow of water in the Western Han Dynasty and the Han River is about in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and there are three possibilities for the divergence: 1. The Jialing River was artificially diverted during the war; 2. The riverbed diversion occurs in the rock immersion depression in the geological structure; 3. Earthquake fissures cause flow interruption and diversion. After the flow of the Western Han River and the Han River, people used to call the east water and the west water the West Han water. This is why the Han River and the Western Han River that we see now on the map of China seem to be two completely unrelated rivers, but in fact, in history, these are the same rivers that are completely connected together, collectively known as the Han River.

(Today, in order to write about the source of the Han River, I am almost confused, people who write history really have to know astronomy and geography!) ）
