Chapter 61: Flowing Water is Relentless, Explore the World

As soon as Xing'er wanted to refute, she heard a sweet and greasy voice upstairs say, "Zhou Jin must not be rude!" The little guy gave Zhang Xuan an apology.

"Lin Xian'er?" Zhang Xuanxin said, "What's going on with this first beauty in martial arts?" Don't know that the capital is the center of Daming? Beauties are like clouds, and there are countless fans? ”

"Childe, forgive me, Xian'er is willing to play a song to apologize!" Lin Xian'er said, Zhang Xuan felt that this voice was still quite capable of hooking up with people.

"Huh?" Xing'er also reacted, this is to hook up with my father-in-law, and said disdainfully, "You know who my father-in-law is, so you dare to perform?" ”

"This is a rude affair on the part of Xian'er, and I haven't asked the son's name yet!" Lin Xian'er opened the window as she spoke, Zhang Xuan looked over, and sure enough, she was beautiful, pure and gentle, with autumn water in her eyes, and she was indeed a beauty.

"Oh, my name is Zhang Xuan!" Zhang Xuan replied, "I still have to take my family to watch the lights, so let's say goodbye!" Hearing Zhang Xuan's refusal, Qian'er and the others were relieved.

"Zhang Gongzi, please wait!" Lin Xian'er saw that Zhang Xuan was leaving, and hurriedly spoke up. Yi Lin couldn't help but sneer when she heard this, remembering that when she first met Zhang Xuan, she also called Zhang Xuan and Zhang Gongzi.

The rest of the women also laughed out loud and followed Zhang Xuan to leave to see the lights. But there was a little guy who said, "Zhang Xuan? Could it be Zhang Xuan, a flower field with both piano and flute? No wonder I have to care about the lantern riddle and the lady's piano skills! ”

Lin Xian'er's face sank when she heard this, she had not been in the capital for a long time, and she was not familiar with the situation in the capital, but at this time, she was greatly embarrassed, and she couldn't help but think of another Tanhua, Li Xunhuan. I was quite angry in my heart.

"I'm laughing to death!" Xiaomei smiled, "Gongzi Zhang, please wait!" As he spoke, he imitated Lin Xian'er's speech, which made everyone laugh.

Zhang Xuan also looked at Xiaomei's innocent and cute, and couldn't help pinching Xiaomei's face, "You can also learn to speak!" Zhang Xuan smiled, "Master, I'm not a person who can't walk when I see a beautiful woman!" ”

"Yes," Xiaomei and the others hurriedly responded in unison, "Got it, Zhang Gongzi!" He laughed again.

A few people looked forward at the lights, and Zhang Xuan also bought a few lanterns, and then went home. Everyone rested, and Zhang Xuan sat in the study and pondered.

Li Xunhuan? I heard that he resigned after winning Tanhua, his brother was a local official, his father was teaching in Guozijian, and Li Xunhuan himself ran away to Liaodong Guan.

"Xiao Li flying knives?" Zhang Xuan said in his heart, "I heard that it is a knife that completely puts one's spirit into it, and it must be able to trigger the spiritual will!" ”

Zhang Xuan's spiritual power has not increased much, but it has only gone from moving dust to moving petals and leaves, "It seems that you can try to find Li Xunhuan's flying knife stunt!" Zhang Xuanxin said.

Speaking of Li Xunhuan's flying knife stunt, many people know it, among them, Lin Shiyin, Lin Xian'er, Long Xiaotian all know how to practice, Ah Fei and that jinu can also do it, but only Li Xunhuan's flying knife can be called Xiao Li Flying Knife.

"Speaking of which, Lin Shiyin still has Wang Lianhua's Mercy Flower Treasure, and there is also a heart trick on it, which can be taken back and seen!" Zhang Xuanxin said, "It seems that I have to find someone to go to Long Xiaoyun's Xingyun Village!" ”

But this matter is not in a hurry, anyway, now the rivers and lakes are peaceful, the plum blossom thief has not appeared, Li Xunhuan has not come back yet, and the plot has not yet begun.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Xuan went to Xiaomei's room to rest, Xiaomei is small and plump, innocent and delicate, with jade skin, Zhang Xuan can't put it down, and is greedy for a salary.

After the Spring Festival, Zhang Xuan also resumed his normal official duties, and the rearranged "Collection of Grievances" was also edited, "Lord Qiqi, I don't know when it will be printed and distributed?" Tong Lin said.

"When I see the imperial history of Liudu, and then play the emperor, it can be printed!" Zhang Xuandao, as he spoke, went to see Shangguan with the new "Collection of Grievances", and several people met the emperor at the same time.

"Not bad!" The emperor said, "Then print it as such!" Liudu Yushi said, "Qiyu Shengshang, this re-edited "Collection of Grievances" is very different from the original version, and it is no longer suitable to use such a title, please show it to the Holy Lord!" ”

Zhang Xuanxin said, I just wanted the emperor to name him, but you interjected, you are a bad old man, you are very bad, and you will get credit after two trips.

"Since this is the case, then call it "Great Tomorrow Zhaolu" The emperor said and wrote down the title of the book, Zhang Xuan and the two of them received the order to thank him, and after he went back, Liudu Yushi personally made the preface.

Zhang Xuan wrote down the officials who participated in the matter in the book and thanked him, and wrote that if there are people with new methods and ideas, they can write to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to check and fill in the gaps from time to time.

"Your Excellency, it's already printed!" Tong Lin said with a smile, although he only wrote his name at the back of the book, it can be regarded as a book and a biography, and officials of all sizes are very happy. In the past, where would the name be left in the revision, I was grateful to Zhang Xuan for a while.

"Good!" Zhang Xuanxi said, "Just distribute it to all counties, we can be regarded as doing a good thing for the country and the people!" "Yes! My lord! With that, Tong Lin went down with the new book.

At the beginning of spring, Cheng Shifei and Lord Yunluo also returned, both of them were a lot darker, but they were in good spirits, and they were very happy to see Zhang Xuan.

"Zhang Xuan! I am back! Cheng Shifei smiled, "I just came back two days ago, and I saw my father and the emperor, so I'm coming to see you!" ”

Lord Yunluo also smiled, "Zhang Xuan, you don't know, how exciting it is for us to go to sea!" ”

Zhang Xuan also smiled and listened, it turned out that after they went to Luzon, they found that the locals were dark and short, which was very interesting. I found that the local sweet potato was indeed high-yielding, so I was very happy and found some other seeds.

"Now these things have been handed over to the emperor, just wait for the spring to be planted, and see the results!" Cheng Cheng said, then he took out a large bag and a small bag, "Look, this is a gift I brought you!" ”

"What kind of gifts do I see?" Zhang Xuan took it and saw that it was some Nanyang jewelry and Western illustrated chronicles, Zhang Xuan distributed these jewels to several ladies, and ordered someone to put Western pictorial chronicles into the study.

"Let's talk about those Westerners' ships and artillery," Zhang Xuan asked, and the Yunluo County Lord said disdainfully, "Those Fanbang lion ships are quite fast, and the artillery is okay, but they are not skilled in martial arts, and they are very weak!" ”

"But those Westerners said that they went to the Far East by boat and found a continent full of wild people," I don't know if these are useful or not. ”

"I think this matter can be reported to the court!" Zhang Xuanzheng said, he didn't expect these foreigners to discover America at this time.

"In the future, you will say that this new world is rich in products, rich in gold and silver, and only wild people who drink blood live on it!" Zhang Xuan said, "Attracting some people to come over to see it can be regarded as opening up territory for the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"I'm not optimistic!" "It takes two months to take a boat, and you don't know that the sea is difficult and abnormal!" "After going to sea, we know how big the world is and how small manpower is.

"What are you afraid of!" Zhang Xuan said, "There is a lot of land and resources, even if you bring people over to establish a kingdom, no one cares, if ambitious people know, isn't it a swarm of past?" ”

"This is also the way of right and wrong," then listen to you! Speaking of which, I also want to go and see what it's like there! ”

"Of course!" Zhang Xuan said with a smile, "We have been living in Daming, and at most we know that Mongolia and Warat are small countries in Nanyang, but it is not clear in the future."

"Isn't it right or wrong, don't you want to know where the ends of the earth are?" Zhang Xuan continued to ask, "What is the end of the sea?" Where is the end of the earth? ”

"Of course I'm curious!" "But for now, let's get married first!" The lord of Yunluo was also very happy when he heard it, and at noon Zhang Xuan set up a banquet again, and everyone drank together.

Before leaving, Zhang Xuan helped Cheng Cheng write a memora, and wrote down the Nanyang specialties and Fanbang New World along the way, so that he would not be at a loss.

The sweet potatoes, corn and other vegetables and fruits that have been planted by Si Nong have long been planted, but Zhang Xuan is not very worried. Zhang Xuan ordered people to build a small workshop outside the city, and some came to burn soda ash as a raw material for making glass.

At this time, although there is a glass production method, but the output is not high, Zhang Xuan made soda ash, the output of this glass glass will increase greatly.

Zhang Xuan knew this soda ash, so he found some sulfuric acid and salt to burn, then added charcoal to coke, and finally fired it with limestone at high temperature, and obtained soda ash.

It's just that the stench is unbearable and extremely corrosive. Fortunately, it doesn't use much soda ash to make glass. Zhang Xuan got soda ash, fired some glass, determined the ratio, and then relaxed.

Back home, Qian'er hurriedly said, "Xianggong, why are you so stinky?" He hurriedly asked people to boil water for a bath, Zhang Xuan smiled, "Master, I have made another way to make money!" ”

"Alright, alright!" Qian'er slapped her nose and said, "Let's talk about it after taking a shower!" Zhang Xuan was pushed into the bath, "Haha, I can still make soap!" Zhang Xuan suddenly remembered the soap, and his heart was even happier.

After taking a bath, Zhang Xuan told Qian'er about making glass, "If it can really be the same as what the master said, then I really want to try it!" "Qian'er also has a glass workshop in her hand, which is just used to make glass.

Zhang Xuan told Qian'er about the glassblowing method again, and then he went back to the study to practice. Early in the morning of the second day, Zhang Xuan heard the arrival of the imperial court, heavy rain in early spring, the Yellow River flooded, and the people were displaced!

When he went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he heard his colleagues discussing this matter, and Zhang Xuan also sighed. Speaking of the Ming Dynasty, only the opening of the dynasty had a few years of peaceful weather, and the rest of the years were either drought or flood, and the climate was very abnormal, which is also what many people say about the Xiaoice climate.

For several days in a row, the imperial court allocated manpower and sent disaster relief grain and grass early, and Zhang Xuan was also the emperor, saying that he would move the people to Liaodong to the border, on the one hand, to enrich the border, on the other hand, Liaodong farming was later than the Central Plains, and the displaced people were able to survive.

He also said that the rivers were controlled, trees were planted extensively, and the soil was cultivated, so that the sediment in the rivers was reduced, and there was no longer a dangerous situation of the river in the city.

The cabinet discussed with the emperor, planting trees and fixing sand was feasible, anyway, it didn't take much effort, and the relocation of people to Liaodong caused controversy, but in the end it was also passed. Because there is not much food in the imperial court, it will not be enough for the victims to eat until next year.

At this time, the imperial court took a three-pronged approach, on the one hand, to provide relief for work, to control the water for the victims, on the other hand, to plant trees on both sides of the river, and on the other hand, to relocate the people to Liaodong. ()
