In July, the scorching sun is no longer enough to describe the current weather, it is as if a stove is constantly baking in front of you. This year's summer feels very abnormal, this weather has lasted for more than a month, the crops in the field have begun to lack water, if there is no rain soon, this season's rice yield will definitely be reduced, not only rice, other crops are similar. The only thing to be thankful for is that the irrigation system in several major plains has improved dramatically after the continuous construction of water power in the past few years, and after the massive investment of manpower and material resources, these crops will at most be reduced rather than destroyed.

With the grain support of Luzon and the large-scale promotion of high-yielding crops such as sweet potatoes, even if there is a drought in Fujian this year, it will not be difficult to deal with the past, and the situation of starving to death like in the past will not happen again. Geng Jingzhong received the following report and arranged the order to prepare for the drought, and he did not continue to pay attention, he did not have the ability to have an artificial rainfall now, and it was really a pity that he did not have that condition, otherwise, he would have become the dragon lord in the eyes of the people.

The weather outside was hot, even the Future School had a month's summer vacation, and the Mawei Army suspended training, and the rhythm of the entire Fujian Province slowed down a lot. Geng Jingzhong himself is also soaked in his own study. The current study room has been renovated, just like the "air-conditioned room" that I want to represent. In ancient China, although there was no "air conditioning", the ancients also had many low-carbon and environmentally friendly places to cool off from the heat. For example, the "cave room" in the pre-Qin period and the "Qingliang Palace" in the Han Dynasty......

Our ancestors were smart, except for using fans. Cooling facilities are also being developed. In the Han Dynasty. Skilled craftsmen have developed a large-scale cooling appliance of "impeller dialing wind". Its cooling effect is very impressive. There is such a record in the first volume of "Xijing Miscellaneous Records": "Chang'an skilled craftsman Ding slowly made seven round fans, most of them are in diameter, continuous, one person transports them, and the hall is full of shivers." In the imagination, the principle of its wind blowing should be to use the rotation of the impeller to form a wind source, that is, seven blades are installed on the giant wheel, one person shakes the handle, and the seven impellers rotate rapidly. The air is stirred up to create a cool breeze.

In the Tang Dynasty, a kind of "cool house" appeared in Chang'an and other places for people to cool off. This "cool house" is generally built next to the water, and the water circulation method is used to push the fan wheel to shake, and the cool air in the water is slowly sent into the house. Or use machinery to send water to the roof and then down the eaves to make an "artificial water curtain" that allows cool air to enter the house. Tang poet Zhang Zhong is known as the author of "Miscellaneous Songs. "Music in the Palace" is a poem: "Jiangguo Yao Chi is solid, and the gold plate is dew and the well is icy." Ganquan will escape the heat, and the dawn of the temple will condense ......" is talking about this kind of "cool house" built by using the "water cycle".

In the Song Dynasty, the "Liang Palace" that appeared in Kaifeng was more luxurious than the "Liang House" in the Tang Dynasty. The "Cool Temple" not only uses wind wheels to send cold water and cool air. Various flowers are also placed around the cistern and hall to make the cold breeze fragrant. The fragrance fills the room, and its cooling effect is as good as entering winter. Science continues to progress, the former Ming literati Gao Lian in the "Zunsheng Eight Notes" has a wonderful description of the cool at that time: "Huodu Villa, seven wells are opened in one hall, all of them are carved with engraving, covered with it, sitting on it in summer, the seven wells are cold, and I don't know the heat." It is not difficult to see that the technology of the pre-Ming Dynasty has taken another step forward, and there is no lack of scientific reason for cleverly using geographical advantages. Compared with the airtight "air-conditioned rooms" of later generations, the ancient "cool house", "cool hall" and "Huodu villa" actually have a better cooling effect, fresher air and more in line with the concept of environmental protection.

After eating lunch at noon, Geng Jingzhong went directly to his special "air-conditioned" study to read the book, and he was so focused that he didn't hear a rush of footsteps outside. When the knock on the door sounded, Geng Jingzhongcai felt unusual. It is strictly forbidden for others to enter and disturb his own study, and there are so many people at the door today. "Who?" Geng Jingzhong asked.

"Back to the prince, he is a subordinate, and the chief of staff Li and others are also here, and there are important things to report to the prince!" Geng Jingzhong didn't open the door, Yao Qisheng stood outside the door and responded.

Geng Jingzhong also felt a different atmosphere, and realized that something big was happening, so he stood up and opened the door. This one opens the door. Hey, all the great advisors under his command have arrived, and said: "It's so together, it seems that the matter is not small!" After saying that, he continued to open the door that had not been fully opened, and then said, "Come in, I don't have any chairs here, so you will all be here." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" As soon as a few people entered the room, they immediately felt that the room was much cooler than the outside. Yao Qisheng and the others did not hide it, and said directly: "Lord Yu, the imperial court has withdrawn the feudal domain; Finish! ”

"Huh?" Geng Jingzhong was taken aback, this is indeed big news, although this has long been expected by himself, it is a matter of time, but in Geng Jingzhong's memory, it seems that he will have to wait for a year and a half to two years, and it seems that it only started at the end of the twelfth year of Kangxi in history, which is directly more than a year and a half early. "How could it be so sudden, why was there no warning or rumor beforehand?"

"Back to the prince, it was the Pingnan King Shang Kexi who invited the old Liaodong to return to the old Liaodong by Kangxi Tong Guò, Shang Kexi wanted his eldest son Anda Gongshang Zhixin to continue to guard Guangdong. However, Kangxi allowed him to return to the old Liaodong, but the imperial court was difficult to control with Shang Zhixin, and ordered the official start of the withdrawal of the feudal domains, that is, the abolition of the three feudal domains together. Li Guangdi hurriedly replied that this news was sent by Ah Hou's latest flying pigeon in the capital, and there would be no falsehood. Recently, the weather has been hot, Li Guangdi has been staying in the Mawei barracks, and it just so happened that Yao Qisheng was also there, and after the two got the news and met, they immediately came to Geng Jingzhong.

Geng Jingzhong also roughly understood after listening, Shang Kexi is not the first letter to invite the old Liaodong, his son Shang Zhixin is so strong, he has no real power in Guangdong, except for a small part that is loyal to him, other strengths have been controlled by Shang Zhixin Since there is a conflict in the family, he might as well be out of sight, and will go to Liaodong's hometown to support the elderly, anyway, he is nearly seventy years old, and he can live a few more years when he returns to his hometown.

In fact, Shang Kexi regretted it very much, six years ago, he just let this son be locked up in the capital prison, otherwise where did so many family conflicts come from. Shang Zhixin originally stayed in the capital as a hostage. It took six years before returning to Guangdong. Shang Zhixin is Shang Kexi's eldest son. At that time, Shang Kexi had a hard time calling him back. It's not because he's almost done, it's because he doesn't call him back.

Because Shang Zhixin is a standard gentleman, a rich second generation. Because of his notoriety, everyone in the world knows. When Shunzhi married the princess, he did not choose Shang Zhixin, but chose Shang Kexi's seventh son, Shang Zhilong. But as the eldest son, he still had to live in Beijing, and he was imprisoned for the sake of entering the court as an official. As a hostage. Shang Zhixin was not convinced: "Why can't I marry a princess, why don't I marry a princess, I still have to enter Beijing." "I just played the scoundrel. I don't go to work every day, and I cause trouble everywhere.

If there is a fight on the side of the road, and a girl in the song hall is accidentally caught by the city management, it can be settled with the strength of my father. But Shang Zhixin played bigger and bigger, and dared to rob the people's daughters in broad daylight, and if he dared to resist, he gathered a crowd to beat him, and burned the other party's house. In the end, he stretched out his clutches to those royal relatives, I don't know what this benevolent brother thinks, it is estimated that he is used to bullying people. Manchurian nobles, you can also bully? As soon as Shuntianfu Yin (now the mayor of Beijing, who manages Beijing's law and order and government affairs) received a report. Immediately file a case for investigation, launch a pursuit operation, and annihilate the criminal gang headed by Shang Zhixin in one fell swoop, and the first offender, Shang Zhixin, was arrested and brought to justice.

At that time, Shang Zhixin went to the "police station", and he put on the demeanor of a noble son and a drunken maniac, full of foul language, and his behavior was ridiculous: "You are also worthy of interrogating me, what about your head, call him here, do you know who I am, my father is more powerful than Li Gang, and a little Shuntian Mansion Yin dares to judge me." "Shuntianfu Yin is Zheng Sanpin, a senior cadre of the state, who has received such an insult, and immediately demanded that Shang Zhixin be severely punished. Since the country did not have a secret folding system in the Yongzheng period, all the texts had to be transferred to the emperor through the cabinet, and the letter was left by the cabinet. Shang Kexi understood what those cabinet officials meant, and spent a lot of money to get through the relationship, and in the end, the big thing was turned into a small thing, and the matter was settled.

After such an incident, Shang Kexi was scared, if this unfilial son was still in the capital, he might not be able to poke any basket next time. He wrote to implore the emperor to put Shang Zhixin back. Kangxi didn't know what was going on at all, why did he leave if he lived well, so he asked his ministers for their opinions. At the end of this year, the ministers of the capital who still don't know Shang Zhixin's virtue, and staying in the capital is also a scourge, unanimously agreed, and immediately told him to leave. Seeing the excitement of the ministers, Kangxi signed in a daze, and Shang Zhixin rolled back to Guangdong. As soon as he returned to Guangdong, he was beaten violently by Shang Kexi, and after the beating, he told him fiercely: "From now on, you will be honest with me." ”

Shang Zhixin is not an honest lord at all, he is ruthless and vicious, and the city is extremely deep. Dad Shang Kexi had a problem in his later years, and Aike deducted his military salary. Shang Zhixin did the opposite, and followed me to what I wanted. Relying on this advantage, he quietly installed cronies in various positions, and it only took two years to establish his own power. By the time his father Shang Kexi found out, he had almost completely taken over Guangdong's politics and military, and Shang Kexi could barely mobilize a single soldier. He wasn't a good person in the first place, but now that no one cares, he simply doesn't care about it. Shang Zhixin began a "crazy journey", historical records say that he: rough and arrogant, tyrannical governance, and good wine, he can do whatever he wants, as if he became the last tyrant of Wu during the Three Kingdoms, Sun Hao, in fact, it is almost the same, the Fuzhou Intelligence Headquarters has a thick step on the intelligence content of Shang Zhixin, all of which record Shang Zhixin's evil deeds. In the past few years, he has lost the hearts of the people in Guangdong, and many people would rather leave their homeland than be ruled by him.

The imperial court had a central commissioner in Guangdong, and when he saw that Guangdong was so chaotic, he immediately wrote a letter of impeachment against Shang Zhixin, and by the way, he was happy to impeach Shang Kexi, saying that he had no way to discipline him, and he was making trouble. After a lot of times, Shang Kexi stopped doing it, and if he continued to do this, he would have to do something sooner or later, and now he has three ways to die. was given to death by the court for lax discipline, dragged to death by his son, and died of anger by his son! I have worked hard all my life, but I haven't enjoyed the happiness yet, so I simply resigned and made a clear relationship with my son, maybe I can live a few more years.

In fact, Shang Kexi is so anxious to retire in his hometown in Liaodong, and there is still a little thrust from Geng Jingzhong. Fujian's development in recent years has also stimulated Shang Zhixin, and the channel has also driven the economic development of Guangdong, and Shang Zhixin's strength has grown rapidly, especially after cooperating with Geng Jingzhong, there have been several transactions, which has made his strength swell. In the end, it made him more domineering, and his father Shang Kexi couldn't stand it anymore, so he had six consecutive excerpts to return to Liaodong for retirement.

This is still gratifying due to internal conflicts in the family, Shang Shu asked to return to Liaodong Haicheng for retirement, and handed over the prince to his son Shang Zhixin to inherit. After Kangxi Xiao Mazi received the recital, he immediately held a meeting to study it. In the past few years, he has also been actively preparing, and he feels that his strength is about the same, and the more he drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to himself, so after discussing it, the final result came out - withdraw the feudal domain! (To be continued......)
