This year's capital exam is different from previous years, and the exam is about to begin, and King Yue announced that the examiner turned out to be Xie Yan, one of the three university scholars.

The appointment of the examiner is not only slightly delayed in time, but also the selection of candidates is also rare.

In previous years, the capital examination was presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and the main examination was generally selected in the Ministry of Rites.

This time, King Yue abandoned the Ministry of Rites, not because he was dissatisfied with the Ministry of Rites, but because the situation was somewhat special.

Of the three scholars in the DPRK and China, Li Yang, Liu Kang, and Xie Yan are the most respected, followed by Liu Kang, and Xie Yan ranks third.

This time, Liu Kang's grandson will take the exam, and the champion has basically been decided, and the Ministry of Rites seems to be a little insufficient.

Of course, in order to reassure the hearts of the whole department, most of the examiners who assisted in the big exam were from the Ministry of Rites, and the proportion was even larger than before.

This is really helpless, some officials just like to think too much, and figure out the meaning of King Yue, if they think that King Yue is dissatisfied with the Ministry of Rites, someone will impeach this Lord Shangshu.

It's not easy to be an official of the Ministry of Rites!

Of course, the Ministry of Industry is not easy to do.

Lu Jian has been eating for a few days, always sighing, needless to say, he must have encountered trouble, this time he returned to the capital, although he was not promoted, but because he had been away from his post for too long, he was not skilled enough in business, so it was inevitable that he would be in a hurry.

Well, this is already a face-saving statement, before Ding Wei, Lu Jian was also a newly promoted Langzhong, and he had never been proficient in his business.

There were enough days of sighing and sighing, and it is foreseeable that there will be more in the future.

Lu Zhi bit the chicken leg and hesitated, he didn't ask Lu Jian what was wrong at the dinner table, he was about to take the big exam, Lu Yi and Lu Li both needed to concentrate on preparing for the exam, these troubles were better to say in private.

Lu Yi picked up two bowls of rice and went to practice the Guan family knife, Lu Li didn't eat much, and he also went to the study to read.

Lu Zhi let out a "hmm", waved his hand, and the waiting subordinates bowed down and left the dining room.

"Tell me, what's wrong?" Lu Xin habitually accompanied Yue Lao to eat, and there were only two left on the table, Lu Zhi and Lu Jian, and there was no problem in talking while eating.

"Yu Hengsi has no problem." Lu Jian is the Langzhong of this division, "Since I returned to the capital, my subordinates have done things well, and several other Langzhong have been close to me, Shangshu and Shilang also have smiling faces, and the environment of the Ministry of Industry is good." ”

"Huh?" Lu Zhi looked at Lu Jian, "Isn't that great?" So what are you worried about? ”

"I'm a little worried about Mizube Langchu." Lu Jian frowned slightly, "I usually get along very well, but if he is in trouble, I want to help come up with ideas." ”

The Dushui Cleaning Department is in charge of auditing and estimating the expenses for river courses, sea ponds, river defense, ditches, water conservancy, bridges, and road projects, building warships, ferries and other boats, and writing off the salaries of river defense officers and soldiers; repair of sacrificial vessels and musical instruments; Ship and cargo taxes and a part of the wood tax are levied.

The chief officer of this division is generally referred to as Mizube Langchu.

Lu Zhi went through the information in the water department Langzhong in his mind, and found that the workload of this division was really huge, you must know that the whole country of Yue is a water country, and there are many rivers in the country, this water department Langzhong, the task is heavy, but it is really a chore.

"There's going to be a war, repair the warship?" The first thing that came to Lu Zhi's mind was this, the Wu Kingdom in the north was already building weapons, sharpening the knife, maybe it was the tense situation, and what the king of Yue had ordered.

"Well, no." Lu Jian blinked his eyes, very incomprehensible.

Why does the little ancestor always want to fight, Wu Yue is not so easy to fight, even if he wants to fight, naval battle is not the first choice.

In fact, it's really not that Lu Zhi likes to do things, he was born in a peaceful era, he has never experienced war, he wants to see the battlefield, but he doesn't want the war to spread, it will hurt the people, it's really a contradiction.

Lu Zhi continued to ask, it turned out to be a long-standing and difficult problem of water control, Yue Guo is close to the East China Sea, the geographical location is southern, and the rain is abundant, and water control has always been the top priority.

"It can be dredged, plugged and strengthened, the source is treated, and the source of sediment can be reduced...... Cut the bend and straighten. ”

A large list of nouns popped out of Lu Zhi's mouth, and Lu Jian was stunned when he heard it, "Little ancestor, what do you mean?" ”

"Uh, as the name suggests, it's just ......" In fact, Lu Zhi doesn't understand very well, and he can say a rough idea, and some terms can't even be explained, so he can only make up two sentences.

It was all memorized by rote in order to cope with the geography exam, when he was just a high school student, and he never thought that he would really need to face the problem of water control one day.

Lu Zhi thought he had forgotten, but he didn't expect that he could say so much at once.

"Wait, I'll get the paperwork." Lu Jian hesitated for a moment, feeling that it was inappropriate, "It's better to call Li'er and ask him to write it down, and I'll hand it over to Mizube Langzhong when the time comes." ”

In the end, the two moved to the study, Lu Zhi explained, Lu Jian listened, Lu Li recorded, and sometimes asked a few questions.

"This bend is straight, and it has certain benefits for flood control and shipping." Lu Zhi mainly talked about this, because other sayings, such as strengthening the Sezhi and reducing sediment, all of them are known to the Ministry of Water.

After so many years of exploration, Yue Guo has mastered some strategies for water control, but cutting and straightening is different, this is a new statement, and there are no similar cases in Yue Guo.

"It can shorten the route, and when the route is short, the shipping is naturally convenient." Lu Zhi gestured with two hands, up and down, imitating the upstream and downstream, "And the drop on this water surface will become larger, and the water flow will also increase, which is convenient for flood discharge." ”

The reason is very simple, when no one says it, everyone can't think of it, as soon as someone says it, the person who hears it will suddenly realize, oh, so that's it, it's that simple!

Lu Jian, who has been fighting iron all his life, can also understand, "This is really, solving a big problem." ”

Lu Li finished recording and drew a sketch, "Yes, the fourth child is really powerful, it seems that he knows everything, and he even knows how to control water, I really don't know, what else does the fourth child can't do." ”

"Except for having children, everything else will be a little." Lu Zhi smiled, "It's all just talk on paper, what to do, let's let Mizube Langzhong have a headache, let's give advice, even if it's all done." ”

"yes, that way I'm at ease." Lu Jian nodded, and took the water control strategy recorded by Lu Li, "I'll send it now, use it urgently." ”

Ministry of Industry.

Shuibu Langzhong was really working overtime, he was moved from the bottom of his heart by Lu Jian's arrival and concern, and then threw aside the water control strategy sent by Lu Jian as soon as he turned around.

The official of the Ministry of Water was a little puzzled, "Langzhong, don't you want to take a look?" ”

"Lu Langzhong can't even understand his own mess, and he still expects him to be able to control water?" Mizube Langzhong's words were irrefutable, "Alas, let's go to Shangshu-sama and think of a way." ”
