Zhao Jiaren sharpened the carbon strip and carefully revised the details on the general trend map of the Mulan Pi North Canal. There were two teenagers standing next to him, looking about the same age as Zhao Jiaren. There was a drawing board in front of them, and on the paper of the drawing board, a charcoal strip was used to draw a map of the North Canal in the image of Zhao Jiaren.

Zhao Yong really couldn't learn this kind of meticulous method, he sat behind the two boys, squinting at them. Prepare to knock two chestnuts on their heads while these two rather aura boys are mischievous. is thirteen or fourteen years old, Zhao Jiaren does not have that kind of burning behavior at all, and his words and deeds are no different from adults.

The little guy was impatient, and after drawing for a while, he couldn't sit still. Just before Zhao Yong was about to start, Zhao Jiaren said without looking back, "You go out to chop firewood first." ”

"Yes, Mr. Zhao." The two little ones answered as if they had been pardoned, and then ran out of the door.

Zhao Yong didn't know what to say about these two boys, so he came up and said to Zhao Jiaren: "Childe, are you too indulgent to them?" ”

Zhao Jiaren finished sketching a canal and put down the charcoal. He took the teacup handed over by Zhao Yong, smiled and replied, "Just concentrate when doing things." If they can't sit still, why force them to sit down. ”

Zhao Yong has never been a gentleman and does not know how to teach students. So he smiled and said, "Childe, it won't be long before New Year's Day, and you should rest after being busy for so long." Why don't you go back to Quanzhou to see your mother. ”

It was a light topic, but Zhao Yong didn't expect Zhao Jiaren's face to become solemn. He shook his head, "This can't wait. There are many Jinshi in Putian, and they are closely related to people from all walks of life in the DPRK and China. This matter must be completed in one go, and if it is delayed for one more day, I am afraid that some variables will be born. ”

From Zhao Jiaren to Lin'an to the present, Zhao Yong has followed Zhao Jiaren for a year. In the past, no matter who he faced, the third prince dealt with it calmly. This was the first time he had seen the third prince show the appearance of a real enemy.

The New Year of the Song Dynasty was called New Year's Day, and later called the Spring Festival, because of the name given to China after the introduction of the Western calendar at that time. Every house has to be cleaned, put on beautiful new clothes and go to visit relatives and friends. Zhao Yong saw that Gongzi had plans to let the locals work on New Year's Day, and he was also bluffed.

However, Zhao Jiaren dared to think and dare to do it, he packed his things the day after he finished drawing the drawings, and got up the next day to go to the north. Seeing County Lieutenant Zhao coming, the locals were extremely excited. The young county lieutenant has worked very well with the villagers in the past month or so. The wealthy families spent very little money on gunpowder to blow up stones. The construction was led by Zhao County Lieutenant.

No matter how insurmountable it looks, the lieutenant either blew it up, or hoisted the stone away with an ingenious utensil. As for the place where only excavation is used, the people know that this is a long-term thing, and it is enough to take a slow rest in the next few years.

The villagers gathered in one place, waiting for Zhao Jiaren to talk about the major matter of water diversion. In the expectant gaze of everyone, Zhao Jiaren spoke, "Everyone. I'm young, fifteen years old. Fifteen New Year's Days have passed in these years. Every New Year's Day, I am in Quanzhou with my family. This time I went to Putian, and I was going to repair the canal with everyone on New Year's Day. In the future, we still have dozens of New Year's Days to celebrate, and every New Year's Day in the future, everyone can say to their relatives and children that on this year's New Year's Day, we have built a thousand-year-old family business for our children and grandchildren. What do you think is a good idea? ”

Hearing such news, many people were stunned, and the stunned was temporary. After the construction of Mulan Pi 70 years ago, the changes that have taken place in the lives of the people in the south are in front of us. It cannot be said that there are no floods and droughts at all, but the floods and colds can no longer affect the lives of the people. As long as the canal can be repaired successfully, of course, there is no problem for these people to work New Year's Day.

Many people began to applaud Zhao Jiaren, and the hard work of New Year's Day was said by Zhao Jiaren, and it had a new meaning.

Zhao Yong watched the third young master Zhao Jiaren standing on a high place and waving to the cheering crowd as if nothing had happened, and he was worried in his heart. The Third Young Master hadn't been so calm and unhurried before. Since the third young master felt uneasy, there must be a reason for him to be uneasy. Looking up at the sky, he saw that the sky was cloudy, and Zhao Yong felt even more uneasy.

Fujian is overcast, and Lin'an at this time has been snowing heavily. Right Prime Minister Dong Huai stood in front of Song Lizong and said loudly: "Official." The minister thought that Song Ci was not suitable to be a prisoner on Fujian Road. This man is greedy for money and is only interested in profit. When he was on Jiangxi Road, he abused the place and was called a cool official. Let him go to Fujian Road, just to arouse the people's anger again. ”

Dong Huai has a burly body, a broad forehead, bulging cheeks, and a beautiful beard. The voice is loud and oppressive. After listening to Dong Huai's words, Zuo Xiang Ding Daquan, whose face was blue, had a gloomy face, and his complexion was almost blue-black.

The struggle in the Great Song Dynasty has always been very fierce, Uncle Xie Fang dismissed the prime minister, and Ding Daquan was lucky to become the left minister. The post of right minister was vigorously promoted by a group of 'Taixue Qingliu', and Dong Huai took over. The court of the Great Song Dynasty adopted the model of 'mixing different theories', that is, factional balance. Ding Daquan belongs to relying on actual achievements to gain status, and if he does things, he will offend people, and those 'too learned and clear-stream' will often use 'cool officials' to attack Ding Daquan's gang.

And what makes Ding Daquan even more headache is that these 'Taixue Qingliu' are extremely proficient in using the tricks of the rules. This time, Ding Daquan arranged for Xu Yuanzhi to serve as the Fuzhou Zhizhou and Fujian Road pacification envoy, and he also pushed the boat down the river to give Jia Yidao a face, and arranged Zhao Jiaren, a new science and technology jinshi known as 'good at repairing canals', to Putian as a county lieutenant. These are not the most critical means now, and one of the errands of Fujian Road Prison is water conservancy construction. Ding Daquan arranged Song Ci as a candidate. Unexpectedly, when the personnel arrangement was about to be completed, Dong Huai suddenly jumped out to obstruct it.

If it was in the past, Ding Daquan could still find a way to deal with Dong Huai. However, judging from the recent news, Jia Yidao is not a bully, that Zhao Jiaren is really proficient in canal repair, and he is also quite good at civil affairs. At a young age, he was able to convince the local fathers and elders in Putian.

Seeing that things are just around the corner, as long as Song Ci goes to Putian to 'command' in person after taking office, it will be done. At this time, Dong Huai's resolute confrontation can only show that the people who oppose Ding Daquan in the court also see the key point.

Having made a decision in his heart that Dong Huai must not succeed, Ding Daquan looked up at Song Lizong. Seeing that Song Lizong was still on a normal day, he listened coldly to Dong Huai's passionate and generous speech. After Dong Huai greatly attacked Song Ci's character ability, Song Lizong spoke, "It's too late today, this matter will be discussed tomorrow." ”

The official family spoke, and Dong Huai couldn't hold Song Lizong's neck and ask to continue the negotiations. With some dissatisfaction, Dong Huai bowed down to send Song Lizong away. Staring at Ding Daquan and glancing fiercely, Dong Huai strode away.

Back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chen Yizhong, who was too learned, was already waiting there. When he saw Dong Huai coming back, he immediately took out a stack of letters and handed them to Dong Huai. Then he said eagerly: "Xianggong, this is a letter sent by Qingliu of Putian. The letter said that Zhao Jiaren was unruly, not only did he not take the county order in his eyes, but he also did not look at the army in his eyes. This person is anxious for quick success, and only thinks about repairing the Mulan Pi North Canal to earn prestige. Qingliu can't stand it, and they all hope that Xianggong can set things right. ”

"I see." Dong Huai's voice was full of anger, he didn't read the letter, and directly put the big stack of letters on the table.

Since hearing about Zhao Jiaren, Dong Huai has already had his own opinions.

Zhao Jiaren is the person Ding Daquan desperately wants to use, and he is one of them. Zhao Jiaren is a clan, and he is the second.

With only these two items, Zhao Jiaren in Dong Huai's eyes is no longer a good bird. Even if you can't talk about killing him, you need to send him to a wild place to become an official.

Zhao Jiaren's actions only made Dong Huai more determined in his thoughts. Anyone who makes a career with merit is a cool official. The Great Song Dynasty is not a big man, and there is no place for cool officials. This cool official is Ding Daquan's family, and that is even more to be solved.

As for whether what Zhao Jiaren did could benefit the people, Dong Huai didn't care at all. What is beneficial to the people must be done by a gentleman and a clear stream in order to truly benefit the people. Anyone else who does such a thing is doing it for the sake of the world.
