Chapter 305: Old Rules

The main river on the periphery was successfully diverted, and many of the people who came to watch it today made bursts of joyful voices.

One by one, they ran to the shore and pointed to the flowing water in the river, and there was a sound of chirping.

"It really worked."

"With water, we can open up the land and improve it all into fertile land."

"How big is the area around here!?"

"If you can really have so much more fertile land, you won't have to worry about running out of food in the future."

"You don't have to look at God's face anymore."

The officials who came with him, and the county Cheng Zhou Xi and others surrounded Jiang Long and said their joy.

The opening of the river and the diversion of water into the river are too important.

Cultivating and improving fertile land can make millions of acres of farmland around Lingtong County more than one hundred acres, which is definitely a merit for the benefit of all generations!

Moreover, with this river, Lingtong County can be regarded as an additional natural defensive barrier.

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

Zhou Xi smiled and bent down to Jiang Long, "The river has successfully flowed into the artificial river, and in a few days, the emperor will issue a reward!" ”

"Rejoice and rejoice." Jiang Long was also in a very good mood at the moment, and politely returned the salute.

It is also right to say that Tongxi has made political achievements, and everyone has a share, and the emperor cannot just reward Jiang Long alone.

Even if some people can't be promoted, they will be added to the dossier.

Doing this is enough for many people to be proud of for a lifetime.

After all, most of these people are very ordinary, they don't have much talent, and they don't have much ambition.

"Congratulations to the prefectural commander, you have proved your ability."

"Yes, many people were not optimistic about it before."

"The county magistrate used facts to refute the faces of those people."

"Lord County Commander really deserves to be from a famous family, and he has done such a big thing at a young age!"

"In the future, the small one will definitely only be the county order!"

Some of these officials were complimentary, and some took the opportunity to show loyalty.

Jiang Long responded politely one by one.

And show that the successful opening of the river is everyone's efforts, and he is just one of them.

Such modest words made everyone feel very comfortable and pleasing to the ears, and at the same time, it also meant that Jiang Long did not want to occupy merit alone.

This credit, Jiang Long is indeed impossible to occupy alone.

But if he wants to grab it, he can also add a few more points for himself.

And if he robs it, then other people's merits will naturally be less.

At this time, everyone admired Jiang Long from the bottom of their hearts.

Which of those officials in the court didn't sharpen their heads and climb up?

It's just that there are few merits, and you have to rob others and subordinates.

How many people can have such a broad mind?

The success of the river diversion is a major event of great significance, and after a while, it will spread throughout the entire Lingtong County.

When the people in Lingtong County heard the news, they were all happy and smiling.

There is more fertile land here, and it is the people who get the most benefits from farming.

If you can buy a few acres of farmland, you will have enough to eat.

This is a fertile field that is irrigated by water, and there is no need to look at God's face, as long as you are willing to sow hard in spring, there will be a harvest in autumn.

In the past, how many such fertile fields were there in the entire Lingtong County?

Even if they can water, they carry water from deep wells to water the fields.

But there is a limit to the amount of water that can be produced from the well, and if you carry it too quickly, there will be no water in the well.

It will take a while for it to slowly seep out again.

Therefore, the use of well water to water the fields can only provide very little farmland.

In northern Xinjiang, it is more difficult to drill wells, where the amount of groundwater stored is too small.

Only Jiang Long made a big effort, and when the county seat was rebuilt, he found people to dig deep wells one by one.

You must know that digging a well in the road is not to dig one and there will be one that can produce water.

It takes a dozen to dig before one comes out of the water.

It's not about digging a waste well and continuing to dig next to it.

This also requires a certain amount of eyesight and skill.

The people who dig the wells are all good hands with some experience.

If ordinary people dig it, the ground will be full of holes.

Therefore, digging wells is extremely labor-intensive, material, and financial.

The news spread quickly, and it didn't take long for Chang Qian to naturally know about it.

His mood is more complicated.

first got angry and secretly hated Jiang Long for doing something big.

Then he rejoiced, because he could get a glimpse of it.

At the same time, fortunately, he arrived in Lingtong County in time, if he was swaying on the way and slowing down for some time, this great credit would not have anything to do with him.

Xia Lin has returned from Wangshacheng County, but he has not shown up.

He was worried that as soon as he came out, Chang Qian would ask him to borrow a guard.

But when he heard the news, he didn't care much, so he immediately changed into a thick cotton jacket, put on a big coat, and hurried to the bank of the river.

Seeing the water flowing in the river with his own eyes, he finally believed.

Then return to the county office and meet Jiang Long.

Seeing that Jiang Long was writing excerpts, he didn't dare to hide it, and told Jiang Long that he was standing in the camp of the second prince, and this time it was Cheng Guifei who spent a lot of effort to send him to Lingtong County.

How to write this excerpt is up to Jiang Long.

Now tell Jiang Long, Xia Lin naturally wants Jiang Long to add more money to himself.

When Jiang Long heard this, he naturally understood what Xia Lin meant.

The emperor looked at himself unpleasantly, and it was useless to write too many political achievements for himself, so Jiang Long did what Xia Lin wanted.

However, Jiang Long said: "The second prince sent you over, not only to let you be plated with gold, but also to exercise, let you have a chance to practice, without experience, how can you achieve great things in the future?" So in the future, you will receive an errand and contribute more to the development of Lingtong County. ”

gave people a political achievement in vain, which was originally his own, and Jiang Long was a little unhappy in his heart.

Naturally, I had to find something to do for Xia Lin.

When Xia Lin heard this, he didn't feel wrong, nor did he refute or be unhappy.

Seriously, when I came to Lingtong County, I saw that there were hundreds of thousands of people digging rivers to level the wilderness under the command of Jiang Long.

That momentum and grand scene had already made Xia Lin forget Jiang Long's age, younger than himself.

Today's river runs through, which confirms the admiration of the elders of the family for Jianglong before coming.

In the past, how many people have served as county magistrates in Lingtong County?

But who else can be so ambitious?

No one would have thought that Lingtong County, a poor and remote place on the frontier, could use the river water to improve millions of acres of fertile land.

Unlike Chang Qian, Xia Lin is smart and exquisite, but he also knows the importance of being pragmatic.

So Jiang Long handed Xia Lin over to Xiao Fan, and asked Xiao Fan to find something to do for Xia Lin every day.

Although Jiang Long is unhappy, if Xia Lin can really work down-to-earth, then there will naturally be great progress.

It's just that if you have good knowledge and your eyes are above the top, you will never be able to do great things.

The excerpt was quickly handed to Wangsha County by the fast officer.

And before, Peng Xi had already sent someone to send back the news.

After reading it, Pang Chengan put aside the excerpt written by Jiang Long, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart!

It's done, Jiang Long actually got the first step of the matter!

And the successful first step means that Jiang Long's proposal is completely feasible.

It's ridiculous that he himself has not been optimistic before, and like all officials, he thinks that Jiang Long is messing around and wants to wait to see the joke.

In the end, it was himself who was laughed at.

Pang Chengan does not consider himself an arrogant person.

On weekdays, he also listens to the advice of his subordinates.

But the development of Lingtong County into a big granary in northern Xinjiang, even now, he feels very unreal.

Can it be done, what did countless predecessors not do?

And let alone doing it, even if there is no one who proposes it.

It's incredible!

Even if Peng Xi sent someone over to deliver the news in advance, after reading Jiang Long's excerpts, Pang Chengan sat for a while before believing that it was true.

Next, it's time to write an excerpt and report.

This kind of important matter cannot be delayed.

It's just how to write, and there have to be skills.

Pang Cheng'an knew that the emperor and the crown prince didn't like Jingfu.

So after thinking about it for a long time, I finally wrote only the merits on the excerpt, and wrote how great the significance it would be to Daqi after the farmland was improved.

Bursts of praise and interjections.

Praise is naturally the emperor.

Because those farmlands will be improved during the emperor's reign.

The greatest credit is naturally the emperor.

This is actually in line with the old practice.

For example, which emperor has laid down the country and created a great cause, then he is naturally the protection of God, but the true dragon son of heaven, and his achievements are also the greatest.

The second is those generals who fight on the battlefield.

But is it really the emperor who is really desperate and energetic?

Moreover, during the reign of the emperor, some scholars compiled dictionaries and sorted out some rich cultural materials, which would also put the greatest credit on the emperor, and its authors would still be ranked second.

In addition, for example, if there are any inventions, etc., the emperor is also mentioned first, and then the inventor.

Pang Chengan only wrote Jiang Long's name once at the beginning.

When Captain Jiang Qi got the news, he was also incredulous and felt a little untrue.

After coming back to his senses, he sent someone to Lingtong County to say goodbye.

He is really happy for Jiang Long.

In addition, Dewey, the chief of the soldiers, and the guerrilla generals who had cooperated with Jiang Long to suppress the bandits, also immediately sent people to congratulate them.

Chang Qian didn't have to go out, just stood in front of the window on the third floor, and could hear the people on the street, praising Jiang Long over and over again.

It made him very depressed.

I can't wait to rush down and shut the mouths of those people.

But he didn't dare.

The first is that doing so will provoke the anger of the public, and you must know that it is difficult to commit the anger of the people.

Second, there was no longer half of the guards around him, and he rushed downstairs, he was afraid that he would be surrounded by angry people and beaten to death.

People with status must have dog legs and thugs around them to be arrogant and domineering.

And those dog-legged villains also have to rely on people with status to be able to fake the tiger and dominate others.

Without the minions around him, Chang Qian has become a toothless tiger.

Just when Chang Qian was depressed, Peng Xi changed into ordinary clothes and suddenly came to the door to ask for a meeting.

If it weren't for Peng Xi with the official seal, Chang Qiangen wouldn't let him go upstairs.

Chang Qian at this moment is very insecure.

Peng Xi came upstairs, regardless of his official rank, which was two levels higher, that is, he knelt down and kowtowed to Chang Qian.

This attitude is quite useful to Changqian.

None of the officials under Jiang Long's command were truly respectful to him for a while.

Or a big local official, know the rules.

As for those petty officials here in Lingtong County, they are really a bun of dirt buns!

Chang Qian snorted so secretly.

Peng Xi had long wanted to come to visit Chang Qian, but he was afraid of revealing his identity, and if Jiang Long knew that he was worried that Jiang Long would be wary of him and clean him up.

Just waited until the river was opened, when Jiang Long was excited, he thought that people would be a little untouched when they were excited, so he dressed up and wanted to sneak into the inn to meet Chang Qian unconsciously.
