Chapter 28: The Process of Zen Concession (5)
Dongqian Lake was recorded as early as the Jin Dynasty and was called the 'Great Lake'. The geographical situation here is more special, to the Tang Dynasty Tianbao years, Lu Nanjin served as the commander of Cheng County, in the three years of Tianbao (744 AD), the terrain of the phase is open and wide, the northwest of the lake is connected by building embankments between several mountain gaps, repairing eight ponds and four weirs, impounding three and a half rivers, forming an artificial lake on the basis of the natural lake.
Since then, this huge lake with an area of more than 20 square kilometers and a water storage capacity of more than 34 million cubic meters has become the agricultural center of Ningbo. Regardless of drought or rainfall, Dongqian Lake can play a role in regulating water sources. After Zhao Taiwei's land reform, a meticulous irrigation and drainage system was built here, so that tens of millions of acres of surrounding land became first-class fertile land.
After receiving the order to dispatch the militia, Lu Shuntian, the head of Lujia Village, led the ten militiamen in the village to set off in two small boats. Looking at the smooth surface of the lake, the militia who was in the same boat as Lu Shuntian asked, "Village chief, do you say there is still grass to catch this year?" ”
Without waiting for Lu Shuntian to answer, the militiamen on the same boat had already laughed and said, "Ha! I really didn't expect everyone to scoop the grass so cleanly. ”
Lu Shuntian looked at the smooth surface of the lake, and he was also quite emotional in his heart. This was not the case with Dongqian Lake in the past, because it was an artificial lake, and the lake was very shallow. According to the surveyors sent by the army, the average water depth here is a little more than two meters. In the Tang Dynasty, Dongqian Lake was definitely deeper than it is now. Three years ago, because of the grass, Dongqian Lake was shallower than it is now.
It is not a certain plant, but a group of plant populations, mainly including wet plants, upright plants, submerged plants, floating plants, algae and microorganisms. Each of these plants has a different status in the ecosystem and performs different functions. Because different plants have different colors, they even have a reputation of "five-color grass". To put it more bluntly, it's the colorful wetland plants.
Dongqian Lake itself is a wetland environment, which is particularly suitable for the growth of these wetland plants. However, wetland plants flourish and decay and settle on the bottom of the lake, absorbing the sedimented soil and forming 'fields' where the water dries up. Dongqian Lake, which was originally a water source, has become much shallower and smaller.
Over the past few hundred years, the local government of the Great Song Dynasty has cleaned up the grass several times, but it has not played a very good role. After the establishment of Zhao Taiwei's government, the problem was solved. Earthworms are omnivores, they do not eat except glass, plastic and rubber, and eat other things such as humus, animal feces, soil bacteria, fungi, etc., as well as the decomposition products of these substances. In the past, after cutting the grass and digging the fields, I didn't know how to deal with these disgusting things that would deteriorate when they were wet, so Zhao Taiwei's government fermented these things and fed them to the earthworms to produce earthworm soil with super fertility.
The strength of the masses of the people is great, and when the people discover a business that is beneficial to them, they will not hesitate to do it. At this time, if the government can rationally organize production and distribution, this kind of action can fight the heavens and the earth.
Zhao Taiwei's method is to exchange. As long as the people can send the cut grass or dug mud to the many earthworm farms on the shore of Dongqian Lake, they can exchange it for earthworm soil or earthworm feed. Industrious people come here to cut grass and dig soil in their spare time, and no matter how much they cut, they don't have to pay for it.
Looking at Dongqian Lake, which has been restored like a mirrored lake, Lu Shuntian sighed: "The wildfire can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows." These things will definitely grow again. Having said that, Lu Shuntian himself didn't believe it very much. He knew that the Dongqian Lake Maintenance Office in Qingyuan Mansion (Ningbo) had a plan. It is planned to take advantage of the fact that Dongqian Lake itself is divided into several blocks, and the different water surfaces will be separated by dikes. Try to prevent water from entering during the wet season, use it as much as possible when using water, and expose the bottom of the lake when the water is dry. Part by part of the large-scale excavation of lake mud.
There are Lu Shuntian's comrades-in-arms in this office. They feel that if the plan succeeds, it will mean that the water depth of the lake's shore will be more than three meters, and the average water depth of Dongqian Lake will be close to four meters, doubling the water capacity. In Lu Shuntian's view, the workload of this plan is so large that it is simply unreliable.
After chatting for a while, I saw other boats loaded with militia assembling towards the lake. Everyone talked about the bandit crackdown again. Dongqian Lake has not heard of any bandits for a long time, and this time it is a little strange to suddenly gather everyone.
"Village chief, where did those bandits come from?"
"I don't know." Lu Shuntian replied decisively.
"Will you tell us when you get there?"
"Definitely."
Sure enough, as Lu Shuntian expected, in addition to more than 400 militiamen, there were also 100 soldiers. Before the more than 500 people set off, the person in charge told everyone, "We have a family of three prime ministers in Dongqian Lake, and a school of three Shangshu." Do you know which one it is? ”
"The three prime ministers are historians."
"Sanshangshu doesn't know."
"Hmm!" The person in charge is quite satisfied with everyone's basic knowledge. He continued: "The historians fabricated a decree to murder the crown prince and his son. Guilty of dereliction of duty and murder, we are going to arrest the entire Shi family. This historian is the historian of one family and three prime ministers. In addition, there is the Yu family, Yu Tianci and Yu Tianren brothers are Shangshu, and the Yu family also has another Shangshu, the Yu family of these three Shangshu colluded with the Shi family to murder the prince and the prince's son. All sins are unforgivable. ”
The army was fine, but the militia was stunned. They never imagined that the purpose of their gathering here was to copy the most famous historian of Dongqian Lake. The person in charge did not give everyone time to discuss, and after speaking, he decisively ordered, "Let's go!" ”
The team of nearly 600 people divided into two roads and went straight to the destination. Lu Shuntian was in the team that went to copy the Shi family, and the Shi family had a big mansion, but the door was closed. This appearance made Lu Shuntian feel that something was not right, it was soon the busy farming season, even if the gate was not opened, there should be a lot of people coming in and out. There must be something wrong with such desertion.
The troops quickly surrounded the Shijia compound, and the army went to knock on the door. After knocking more than a dozen times, someone in the compound responded. A guy who looked like a passerby opened the small door and asked, "What are you guys doing?" ”
"Check the water meter!" The people in the army said the tactical words that Captain Zhao liked to use, and the gang didn't understand at all. Then he squeezed open the door and rushed in.
It didn't take long for the Shijia compound to be filled with the regular army of the Song Army and the militia. Lu Shuntian looked at the interior of the house with some awe, this is a historian of three prime ministers. However, the situation in reality made Lu Shuntian a little surprised, the house looked good, and the carved wooden doors and windows looked very magnificent, much better than the houses in Lu Shuntian Village. Inside, however, there is a sense of decay. It felt like being sent into the making area in front of the earthworm house, full of decay and corruption. Fresh grass is chopped into pieces, mixed with manure and mud, and if you put the earthworms directly into it without making it, the earthworms will die in large numbers. Because of the lack of popularity, the Shi family's mansion is also revealing a feeling of declining.
Looking in from the window, Lu Shuntian saw that the house was quite messy, as if someone had hastily searched it. Originally, Lu Shuntian thought that there would be a fierce battle to raid his home, but now he saw that he had pounced.
The latest news was quickly transmitted by cable to the Anti-Rape Committee, which compiled a list of the nets. The direct line of the Shi family and the Yu family has run away, and it can be seen that they have served as prime ministers and monks, which has greatly increased their political sensitivity.
Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty became emperor in 1224, and the murder of the crown prince began after 1220. Sixty-eight years have passed since then. The perpetrators are long dead, and this operation is a joint attack on the family of the mastermind and main perpetrator.
The person ran away, and Ding Fei didn't look angry. He signed the list refreshingly and ordered someone to give it to Mrs. Zhao. The staff below muttered a little in their hearts, Ding Fei's behavior seemed to them to have the taste of covering up the Shi family and the Yu family. And the work of the Anti-Traitor Committee itself is to arrest the traitorous party and eliminate the traitors.
Ding Fei completely ignored other people's opinions, because he was really happy in his heart. If the Shi family and the people of the Yu family do not run away, but desperately cry out, then there will inevitably be a fierce offensive and defensive battle in law and propaganda. It takes a lot of effort to brand the famous historian of the Great Song Dynasty and three prime ministers into traitors.
Now that they're running away, and some people are fleeing to Dayuan, it's a great deal. As long as someone from the Shi family runs into Da Yuan's territory to avoid trouble, even if there is only one person, the Shi family can be beaten into a traitor. Those historians and the Yu family who did not flee into Dayuan are also difficult to argue. Once he was characterized as a traitor of the Song Dynasty, the extermination of the historian became a strong sense of justice. If the comrades of the Anti-Rape Committee didn't even understand this, Ding Fei could only feel regret and disappointment.
The list and the latest information were sent to Zhao Jiaren, and Zhao Jiaren scanned it and felt Ding Fei's thoughts. Generally speaking, Zhao Jiaren does not consider being involved or convicted of crimes. This time, Zhao Jiaren's purpose was to establish his legitimacy by executing Shi Jia and the Yu family. Ding Fei's response was very decent.
Putting down Ding Fei's report, Zhao Jiaren saw that the next one was Sima Kao's report. After opening it and scanning it slightly, Zhao Jiaren sighed. This is a more politically manipulative report. The content is to change the genealogy and create a political lie that Zhao Jiaren's father passed on to Zhao Quan, the son of the abolished prince, to inherit the incense.
Touching his chin, Zhao Jiaren was very unhappy in his heart. That's the disgusting thing about politics, and for the sake of legitimacy, you have to come up with a whole set of nonsense. If Zhao Jiaren is forced to be helpless, it would be better to find a reason for himself to pass by. Now he has to find a step-father for his father, which is really nonsense from a normal human point of view.
You have to do a full set of things. No matter how, you have to finish it. Zhao Jiaren knew this, but even he felt that he couldn't hold on.
