Appearance:

On a summer evening, the guards have lit pyrethrum mosquito coils. Smelling the familiar smell, Zhao Jiaren was about to read a book for a while, when he heard his wife Qin Yuzhen say: "There is no one at home." ”

Zhao Jiaren didn't say anything, just looked out of the window. Since leading the troops to recapture Hangzhou, Zhao Jiaren has been living in the back garden by the West Lake all these years. It used to be very lively here, Zhao Jiaren's parents, Zhao Jiaren and his wife, plus Zhao Jiaren's three babies lived together. The small buildings in Korakuen are lit up at night. Now there are no lights in the building where Zhao Jiaren lives himself.

After being silent for a while, Zhao Jiaren asked: "I want to ask you something, something happened in Ningbo, and I want Da Lang to have a long experience." However, depending on Da Lang's own meaning, he wants to go to Henan to engage in development. What do you think Da Lang is willing? ”

"You know the answer yourself, so why bother asking me." Empress Qin replied casually.

This sentence left Zhao Jiaren speechless. Without waiting for Zhao Jiaren to change his mood, he heard Qin Yuzhen sigh: "I heard that as long as Da Lang is busy, he will take the child back to his parents' house to live." ”

“…… If we want Dalang's children to live with us, we want to see a little thing to relax. At this time, Zhao Jiaren showed more of a psychiatrist.

"Then you can't stop him from coming." Qin Yuzhen said unhappily.

Whether children follow their parents or grandparents has always been a topic. There are all kinds of theories, all kinds of arguments. Zhao Jiaren knew that there was no way to convince others, he just wanted to insist on himself. The next day, he called Zhao Qian over, and after a day of exercise, Zhao Qian still looked sluggish, but he got rid of the momentum of drilling the horns.

"Do you want to go to Henan to manage agriculture?" Zhao Jiaren asked.

"Henan is fine, and Liaodong is also fine."

"Then let's go to Henan first." Zhao Jiaren said.

"Yes."

"After the remaining two days of practice, go and complete the formalities."

“…… Be. ”

After arranging Zhao Qian's affairs, Zhao Jiaren felt that he had finally let go of one thing in his heart. As Qin Yuzhen said, whether to force Zhao Qian to see the world, or let Zhao Qian have his own choice, Zhao Jiaren himself actually knew the answer for a long time. He was still willing to let Zhao Qian take the path he expected.

After arranging Zhao Qian, Zhao Jiaren lost interest in the affairs of the Ningbo monk. After losing the value of observing the eldest prince Zhao Qian, the affairs of the monks became simple and boring. This matter will be handed over to Justice Minister Ding Fei. Three days later, Zhao Xun returned to his father with the child. After dinner, watching his mother take the child to the yard, Zhao Xun said to Zhao Jiaren: "Dad, I want to go to Ningbo, it may take a while to come back." ”

"To Ningbo?" Zhao Jiaren felt as if he had thought of something.

"Yes, to Ningbo. I heard that something happened over there, and the legal department took it seriously. ”

“…… Go ahead. Zhao Jiaren probably guessed what was going on. He just didn't quite understand what Ding Fei was thinking, so he chose Zhao Xun as the candidate. Do you want Zhao Xun, who works in the legal department, to have a long insight?

No matter what the elders thought, they kept their mouths shut. Zhao Xun, who worked in the procuratorate, received an order to go to Ningbo to handle the work. Before Zhao Xun set off, he wanted to ask for some talk from his father, but all he got was his father's 'go'. Hearing that Zhao Xun was going on a business trip, Zhao Xun's wife didn't say anything, just simply sorted out Zhao Xun's bags. Finally, I will say 'remember to change your clothes'.

The best way to get between Hangzhou and Ningbo is, of course, the Zhedong Canal. Zhao Xun set off by boat, and saw that something was being sorted out on both sides of the river, and many houses had begun to be demolished.

"What is this doing?" Zhao Xun asked the person next to him.

"It's like widening the canal. The capacity of the Zhedong Canal is low, and if it can be upgraded to a 1,000-ton ship, it will be comfortable to travel from Hangzhou to Ningbo. The big ship arrived in one day. ”

"Then why demolish the house now?"

"If you demolish it now, you can build it now. It's not good to repair the house in winter. ”

Zhao Xun has lived in Hangzhou for so long, and he saw that Hangzhou is a place where houses are being repaired all year round. After thinking about it for a while, I reluctantly agreed with the opinion that it is not good to repair a house in winter. Then I listened to my colleague say: "Since the Qinhuai River has been completed, there are now plans to build canals in various places. ”

Hearing Qin Huaihe, Zhao Xun thought of his eldest brother Zhao Qian. Although Zhao Qian was not the chief designer of the Qinhuai River project, he participated in the Qinhuai River project. Compared with a simple bureaucrat like Zhao Qian, large-scale projects are obviously more impressive.

As he spoke, some people put forward their own opinions, "Now the canal is being built everywhere, and after the Tongji Canal is restored, some people want to rebuild the Yongji Canal." However, I read the report written by Minister Lu Baifeng Lu of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he thinks that the major coastal cities are more developed. It is good to build a lighthouse by the sea, not a waterway. ”

"It's so poor by the sea, there's no way to farm. I don't think so. ”

"The current Songjiang Mansion is rich in the world, and the Ningbo Mansion is also very good."

"Songjiang Mansion relies on the government to grow cotton, and Ningbo Mansion has fertile land, many rivers and lakes, and is the land of fish and rice."

"Ningbo is indeed not bad, but it is not good without industry. The last time I went to Zaozhuang, Shandong to handle the case, it was originally a small village, but now it is an iron-smelting center with a large population, which is no worse than Songjiang. ”

The argument is also quite interesting, Zhao Xun listened to the different place names, and his heart yearned. Compared with his eldest brother Zhao Qian, Zhao Xun's life is very plain. Elementary school, junior high school, high school, university, and work after graduation. Even his father Zhao Jiaren felt regretful and felt that Zhao Xun should be allowed to be a soldier for a few years to exercise.

After joining the army, Zhao Qian has been to many places, and he has not refused to travel far at all. Not to mention Zhao Xun's real father Zhao Jiaren. So Zhao Xun also has some expectations for going to Ningbo.

There were several boat changes along the way, and the Zhedong Canal is relatively narrow in many places, and can only be navigated by manpower boats. At first, when they saw those bridges of different shapes, Zhao Xun and his party were quite moved. But after seeing more, the guys started to feel that something wasn't right. The speed of the human-powered ship is too slow.

"If we take a steamboat, we will all enter the Yangtze River from Hangzhou at this time." Finally, someone couldn't help but erupt.

Walking north from Hangzhou, there are also canals. The canal has been dredged wide and is fully capable of running a thousand-ton steamship. After the steamship started, it was really fast, and the scenery on both sides changed very quickly, and there was no change at all after walking for a long time.

The Zhedong Canal is about 500 miles long, and it took the group three days to reach their destination. After getting off the boat, the gang said that they firmly supported the widening of the Zhedong Canal, so that no one could stand dangling on the river for three days.

No matter how the gang reacted, they were still arranged to live in Dongqian Lake first, and they were not allowed to drive directly into Ningbo Mansion. The scenery of Dongqian Lake is very good, and a kind of people can't help but praise the scenery here after seeing it, which is no less than the West Lake. Even Zhao Xun, who has lived by the West Lake for a long time, feels the same way. Everyone was tired of riding the boat, and everyone was strolling around the lake. When I saw a large stone monument, I went up to see it. But I saw that what was recorded on it was the history of Dongqian Lake.

Dongqian Lake was recorded as early as the Jin Dynasty. Lu Yun, a famous scholar of the Western Jin Dynasty, (Shilong) said in the "Book of Answering Che Mao'an" that Cheng County "has a big lake in the west, a famous mountain in the north, a forest in the south, and a giant sea in the east". At that time, the county was governed in the county, and the lake was in the west of the county. It can be seen that during the Jin Dynasty, Dongqian Lake was already called the Great Lake.

Dongqian Lake was called "Qian Lake" in ancient times, and was named after the water of Qian Dai on it; Also known as "Wanjin Lake" in terms of its Lipu, it was called "West Lake" in the Tang Dynasty, when the county was governed in Chengshan, and the lake was in the west of the county, so it was named; In the Song Dynasty, it was called "East Lake", because the county was governed in the mouth of the three rivers in the Song Dynasty, and the lake was named in the east.

During the Zhao Tianbao period, Lu Nanjin served as the commander of Cheng County, in the third year of Tianbao (744 AD), the terrain was opened and wide, several gaps between the mountains in the northwest of the lake, connected by embankments, and formed an artificial lake, according to Li Dun's "Xiudongqian Lake Proposal" record, at that time, a total of 121213 acres of waste land ("Yongshang Water Conservancy Chronicle" said, waste field 21213), build eight ponds and four weirs, store water in three and a half rivers, irrigate more than ten thousand dumped fields in seven townships, and abolish the taxes of the lake fields to benefit from the acres of fields, adding 0.376 meters per mu.

Seeing that Dongqian Lake used to be called West Lake, and seeing that Dongqian Lake is also a one-person half-work lake like West Lake, all the guys from Hangzhou are amazed.

But then there's the part that celebrates virtue. Dongqian Lake has always been plagued by grass. Southern Song Dynasty trunk road five years (AD 1169) because of the Dongqian Lake grass for the trouble, silting up to more than 20,000 acres, water storage sharply reduced, the people are not enough, the minister Zhang Jin to the court to move the first to discuss the policy of clearing the leaves, Zhao Bogui heeled, got the permission of the imperial court, sent to the county Yang whip a detailed measurement, in addition to the lake needs to use money 165888, 27,678 stones, because of the huge cost of the project, can not be raised to the surface can not be implemented.

In the fourth year of Chunxi in the Southern Song Dynasty (1177 AD), Yao Zhe, the county governor, restored the Qing Dynasty and opened the lake. At that time, the prince Wei Wang Yuekai, guarding Mingzhou, turned to the Qing Dynasty, out of the internal gold 50,000, Yicang rice 10,000 stone, and according to the beneficiary acres of land out of service, tools, and sent the water army to carry the accumulation, sent the chief Shi Moji, Sima Chen Yannian to supervise the construction, lasted half a year, 21,213 acres. However, at that time, most of the water was not moved out of the lake, and the water level rose and then backfilled into the lake, which fell short.

However, after the sage Zhao Jiaren Zhao Guanjia implemented earthworm breeding, the grass can be used as the food of the earthworms. Not only Dongqian Lake has benefited, but also lakes throughout Ningbo. Driven by interests, the masses of the people have almost exhausted all the grass.

After reading it, Zhao Xun's peers couldn't help but sigh that 'the world is bustling for profit', but Zhao Xun didn't think about this. As the son of 'Heavenly Sage Zhao Jiaren', he knew that his father was indeed very powerful. Zhao Xun's attention couldn't help but focus on the section of 'Yue Kai, the prince of Wei at that time, guarding Mingzhou'.

Now the princes are also working all kinds of work, very hard, Zhao Xun always feels a little touched in his heart.

After seeing the scenery, Zhao Xun and the others rested. The next day, some people went to the side of Dongqian Lake, and finally the president of the Ningbo Prefecture Procuratorate personally came to give a lecture to the assembled procurators. "There are a lot of cases this time, and we need your hard work and cooperation, and we must handle these cases well."

After talking about this without beginning or end, everyone didn't understand what the case was. When I was puzzled, I heard the dean ask, "Do any of you have religious beliefs?" ”

No one spoke. The crowd just looked at each other. Then the dean asked again, "Is any of you religious?" ”

One of the brothers couldn't help but reply: "Whoever has religious beliefs now will be immediately expelled from the officials." Dean, what do you want us to do with your question? ”

Immediately, someone burst into laughter, and this statement really spoke to everyone's heart. The dean didn't smile, he said solemnly: "I know that no one dares to say what religion they believe, but this incident involves a lot of religious matters. So if any of you feel that you miss some ghost, say it sooner. ”

After hearing this, the brother said loudly: "Whoever withdraws at this time doesn't mean that he will be expelled?" I'm not religious, and I don't want to be expelled. ”

After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, and Zhao Xun also laughed a few times, and then said loudly: "I don't believe in religion." ”

The dean was robbed of whiteness like this, but he didn't have a seizure. He said: "Then to put it another way, anyone who has no religious beliefs raises their hands. ”

There was an uproar, and everyone raised their hands. Seeing that these people had made a statement, the dean asked them to put down their hands, and then said, "Then I hope you can prove your attitude with your actions." I'm going to give you an introduction. ”

It took a morning to introduce the situation, and everyone was still smiling, but then their faces were solemn and there was no smile anymore. The dean only said a little bit, and most of the introductions were told by several people taking turns. Eventually, the gang was told that each of them would be assigned to a different case.
