Chapter 888: Finalized
After a short time, Turpentine came, and he picked up the copied page and read it carefully, and said, "Which place is this talking about?" β
Ji Qingling and the other three immediately surrounded him.
Songjie pointed to the words on it and explained, and said: "I only know these things, when I went out to patrol the embankment with the officials in the past, I also learned more or less, but I can see a little bit, and then ask carefully, I don't know." β
Ji Qingling listened to his explanation, looked at them one by one, and sure enough, they all understood. Looking at Qiu Yue again, there are only people who point out, and they only understand five or six points. As for Qiu Lu, a face was simply dazed and frightened, looking at Ji Qingling, and then at Qiu Yue, that look was extremely pitiful.
For the same thing, I didn't understand it before, but now I can hear the same person explain, others can understand a few points, she is the only one who really knows every word, and every word that Songjie says can be heard clearly, but I don't know what it means at all.
Qiu Lu climbed Qiu Yue's hand alone and whispered, "Sister Qiu Yue, do I have a problem with my brain?" β
Qiu Yue comforted her and said, "I don't know much either. β
But you just understand!
Qiu Lu cried and looked at Qiu Yue, her eyes full of accusations.
In the past, when the two of them learned to settle accounts together, Mr. Bookkeeper taught him once, she didn't understand, and Sister Qiuyue didn't understand.
Right now, it was as if the scene had reappeared, and she couldn't help but think about it.
A master and three servants sat here and studied all night, but Songjie did not deceive people, he really only knew a little about it, and when the night was dark, everyone was big, but he still couldn't figure it out.
Ji Qingling stopped wasting time and asked everyone to go their own way, and she went into the study.
At this time, Gu Yanzhang was already flipping through the files, and when he saw Ji Qingling coming in, he looked up and smiled: "Where did you go?" I just wanted to look for you, but I didn't see anyone. β
Ji Qingling said: "I took the scroll, I don't understand it, and I can't make any noise with you, so I called Songjie to ask." β
Gu Yanzhang put the book in his hand upside down on the table in front of him, and said, "It's useless to look for him, nine times out of ten he doesn't understand it, so it's better to ask me." β
Ji Qingling shook his head and said, "Time is so tight, I won't delay you." β
She saw that there were a lot of bookmarks in the roster on the side, and knew that Gu Yanzhang must have finished reading it, so she picked it up and asked as she flipped through it, "Is there anyone in it who can be used?" β
"I can't see anything from this." Gu Yanzhang simply stood up, dragged a chair over to Ji Qingling, and motioned for her to sit, "The water supervisor is not the same as the place next to him, the most important of them is the plumber, but the level of the plumber, you can't see anything just by looking at the roster." β
He pointed to the other volumes on the side, and said: "I originally wanted to face the examination books in the water supervision in the past few years, and I can always find some clues from them. β
Ji Qingling flipped through the roster in his hand, and because he heard that the plumber was the most important, he went to see the plumber, but it was a little strange to come and go, and asked: "Fifth brother, is the plumber extremely rare?" β
Gu Yanzhang said: "Good waterworkers are rare, but waterworkers are not rare, why do you suddenly ask like this?" β
Ji Qingling flipped back the roster in his hand, clicked it again, and then pointed to the name of the person above and said, "I count it seems to be two less than the fixed number." β
Gu Yanzhang didn't pay attention to this, so he sat down and counted it with her, and sure enough, there were two less.
He also felt strange.
When I was introduced today, I brought a few plumbers over, and he checked the roster according to the names of the people, and he didn't see any problems, but he heard that the chief bookkeeper of the water prison said that he himself was extremely short of manpower, and there was no reason to make up the blank space.
He took the matter to heart and said, "I'll ask tomorrow." β
Ji Qingling said again: "I just went to count the names of Dushui Jian Cheng in the past twenty or thirty years, I thought I could ask one or two acquaintances to ask, who knew that most of them were not in Beijing." β
Gu Yanzhang said with a smile: "If there is a natural good thing to be able to ask a few words, but such a thing, even if it is thirty or fifty years ago, no one has to do it, at most ask about the process and operation, as for whether this matter is feasible, there is a chance that it will not be asked." β
He also said: "Mr. sent me a codex that used to patrol the Bianhe, Luoshui, and the Yellow River, but the Yellow River has been diverted every year, and the Bianhe River has been changed many times. β
Hearing about Liu Boshan, Ji Qingling suddenly remembered a person, and said busily: "Fifth brother, do you remember the last time I met Xu Shi in Naxiangfu County and allowed him to participate in politics?" β
Gu Yanzhang nodded and said, "Naturally remember, what's wrong?" β
Ji Qingling said: "I saw this person last time, and I heard that he was hiding and refused to accept the edict of the Empress Dowager, I went to check their records of the same year when I had nothing to do. β
She folded her hands and counted them, and said, "It's been five or six months, although I may not be very familiar with each other, how many people do I know?" β
Gu Yanzhang said with a smile: "If it were him, he would still be able to say a few words, but if I remember correctly, Xu Shenzheng served in the capital water superintendent, it was more than 20 years ago, and the water workers at that time may not still be there." β
Ji Qingling said nonchalantly: "Take care of him, it doesn't take much effort to leave and right, that is, the water workers he is familiar with have reached the age of age, and he doesn't do it in the capital water prison, so he can recognize a few descendants?" An acquaintance asked in the back, it was better than the fifth brother spending half a day of research in front of him - we are not specialized in water conservancy, we are all chasing ducks to the shelves, and we are not as good as others. β
But this is true.
Gu Yanzhang also wrote it down and said, "Tomorrow, I will ask my husband to help me ask, and see when he is freeβif I ask, there is a chance that I will not pay attention to it." β
Xu Shijian's temperament is very freewheeling, and because he pushed the will of the Empress Dowager, even if he often wanders around the ditch, but if someone he doesn't know readily sends a post and says that he wants to visit, he is categorically unwilling to see it.
Although he has already been decided, he is more difficult to see than the Zaifu in power.
Fortunately, there is also Liu Boshan, he had a very good relationship with Xu Shijian in the past, Gu Yanzhang supported him, and dragged people to death that day.
When Xu Shijian arrived at Liufu, he drank a few sips of good tea, and when he saw Gu Yanzhang enter, he realized when he arrived, and turned his head to Liu Boshan and said, "You old man, you are very unkind!" For the sake of a disciple, you have to do even the work of deceiving people? β
Liu Boshan blinked, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "Which sentence did I lie to you?" I only said that I had something to ask, but I didn't say who asked about it. β
