As she was talking, she happened to say that Cao Cao and Cao Cao had arrived, and one person stepped through the door from the outside - it turned out that Qiuyue had already returned from Sun's mansion.

Hearing Ji Qingling talk about the reward, Qiu Yue hurriedly said: "I have already planned, today with the person who went out half-through, to help push stones, save people, one person or two or three times, and the horseman who went to the front to see the situation first gave four runs, and the manager Xie gave half more money this month......" She said again, and asked again, "I don't know if it's appropriate?" ”

Ji Qingling said: "It's okay, you can make up your own mind." ”

Qiu Yue told her again that she had just gone to Sun's Mansion and had already met Sun Yunniang.

Miss Sun said that everything should be fine, she was not at ease in the house, so she invited a doctor to take the pulse, and she didn't see anything wrong, she only prescribed a dose of tranquilizer, and the doctor said that it was okay to eat it or not. Miss Sun also said that the sweet spring mandarin oranges sent by Mrs. were very sweet, and the black plums were also delicious, and asked me to come back and thank you......"

She said and laughed, and said, "That girl is so funny, I gave her a letter from my wife, and she took it in her hand to read, and after reading it, she actually took a box and put it up—all the posts and letters that our family had sent her were all in it." ”

He added: "She also asked me to wait, and I wanted to reply to my wife, but when she saw that it was too late, she hurriedly asked someone to rummage around, and because she couldn't find anything agreeable, she took out half of the plain paper she had used." Because there is only half a knife, I also told me to come back and see if my wife used it well, and if it was good, she would make it herself next time. ”

After talking about Sun Yunniang for a few sentences, the smile on Qiu Yue's face also retracted, and said: "When I came back, there were already some rumors outside, and I don't know whether it was true or not, they all said that the reason why the stone could roll down from above today was because the water supervisor dispatched it indiscriminately, because an official was going to inspect the embankment recently, so he hurriedly deployed the people to transport the stones, and I don't know what to do with the many stones - there is no breach in that place, the embankment is very stable, and there is no need to block it with stones." ”

"It is said that the water supervisor is in a hurry, and the partial equipment is not complete, the hemp rope is not enough, and there are few experienced water workers."

"In fact, there was an accident a few days ago, and the stone was not tied up properly, but it did not roll to the official road, but rolled into the river, and another citizen accidentally fell into the water, happened to hit his head, and he was already dead......

But when a dam is built, no matter how careful you are, it is normal to cause some trouble. As long as people are doing things, no matter how careful they are, there are times when they make mistakes, so they can only check repeatedly to avoid omissions, and repeatedly warn the plumbers and people to act according to the rules and be careful with their lives.

was to hear Qiu Yue's relay, and Ji Qingling next to her didn't care about it, but there was only one case, which she felt very strange.

"How can the water supervisor dispatch indiscriminately? Didn't you say that Xu participated in politics and knew the water superintendent? ”

Sent by the imperial court like this, Qiu Yue naturally couldn't answer.

Because it was Gu Yanzhang's turn to be on duty this day, Ji Qingling sent someone to send the bedding and utensils, and when he came back the next night, he told him about the daytime of the previous day, and asked about Xu Shijian.

Gu Yanzhang didn't know where he went during the day, he rolled all over his body to ashes, he urged the little guy to go to get hot water quickly, and took off his robe on his body, and said to Ji Qingling: "Xu Shenzheng refused to take it, I heard that he had several concerts in a row, but he only said that he was seriously ill, and the Queen Mother couldn't take him, so he wanted to ask Huang Xianggong to preside, but Huang Xianggong said that he couldn't handle it, and he refused to accept it." ”

He casually took a towel and wiped the sweat from his head and face, and said: "I heard from Hu Gongshi yesterday that the Queen Mother ordered Fan Dashen, but I don't know if he finally took it." ”

Ji Qingling thought for a while and asked, "I wonder if the fifth brother has ever seen that Xu participating in politics?" ”

Gu Yanzhang nodded and said, "I met a few times at Mr.'s house, but I was in a hurry, and I didn't talk to him much." ”

And he said, "Why do you suddenly ask that?" ”

Ji Qingling recalled the old man he met in Xiangfu County that day, so he described the appearance of the other party with Gu Yanzhang, and said that a friend with a pipe followed, and asked again: "I don't know if it's him or not." ”

Gu Yanzhang said with a smile: "That's right, the one who took the pipe was originally Xie Shuang, a bachelor from Hanlin, the two have a very good relationship, and they often go in and out together. ”

Ji Qingling said: "If Xu Shenzheng no longer wants to be a official, then what will he do when he returns to Beijing this time?" ”

"I heard that his son is going to get married this year, and he plans to take a scientific examination."

After all, it is an idle matter of others, Gu Yanzhang doesn't care much, but when he talks about Xu Shijian, he is also a little funny, and said: "That Xu is also a wonderful person to participate in politics, I see that he is in Mr. Mansion, he can eat two bowls of rice at a time, and he is also full of middle energy, and he will go to climb Xianyue Mountain every few days, and Mr. complained to me in private, saying that he was also dragged to climb twice, and after he came back, he couldn't straighten his waist, but Xu participated in politics as if he was nothing." ”

Ji Qingling became more and more puzzled and asked, "Then why doesn't he accept it?" Is it taking the shelf or what? I heard that his person was very important to the queen mother, and he should not refuse it. ”

"I heard a breath or two, it is said that Xu participated in politics and was in charge of the capital water prison, and after returning to Beijing, he talked to the old man, and it didn't take long for him to let out the words, saying that he was sick and couldn't be ordered, but I don't know what the reason is." Speaking of this, Gu Yanzhang was also a little helpless, "Even if I am acting, I don't know how to do it, I either go to visit friends during the day, or go fishing and climb mountains, for fear that the palace will not know that he is perfunctory." ”

"Xu doesn't care about participating in politics, so why doesn't Huang Xianggong accept it?" Ji Qingling asked again.

"I heard that Zhang Hu proposed a new law, called the 'Iron Dragon Claw Lifting Mud Truck Method', and was about to use it to clear the dredging, Huang Xianggong sneered, pressed the charter on his hand, and refused to give approval, because of this matter, he was stubborn with the Queen Mother, so he naturally refused to accept it."

A while ago, the "Iron Dragon Claw Lifting Mud Truck Method" made a lot of noise in Beijing, and Ji Qingling naturally heard about it.

It's just a matter of water conservancy, but the director of the full-time engineer, she really doesn't understand it very well, so she doesn't make a speech, at this time, she heard Gu Yanzhang talk about it, and she couldn't help but ask curiously: "That method sounds a little weird, is it reliable or not?" I heard that Li Gongyi, who offered the law, was a candidate, and although the article was well written, he had not heard of any water conservancy. ”

Gu Yanzhang shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, because of this matter, I have been arguing for many days, and the head of the two mansions thinks this is nonsense, but some people say that I am afraid that it is so useful. ”

As he spoke, he poured out a little of the tea in the pot with his hand, dipped it in his hand, drew the appearance of the Junchuan loquat on the table, and took the interval between the two objects in the room, compared them, and described the size.

Ji Qingling was skeptical and asked, "Since it has been made, I don't know if it is useful?" ”

Gu Yanzhang said: "I heard that it is only useful when the river is turbulent, and the water flow has been gentle recently, and when I went there, I saw that they were dredging the river, as if the effect was not very great - the mud was loosened, but it failed to wash far, and it was deposited again." ”

He also said: "Water conservancy is different from the rest, I am not a specialist, and it is not easy to put a beak, but this 'Iron Dragon Claw Mud-Lifting Method' is not objectionable to the old water workers in the capital water superintendent, and it is somewhat feasible to think about it...... We'll have to wait for a while. ”

Ji Qingling was thoughtful.

She looked down at the Jun Chuan and said curiously: "Fifth brother, you just said that Huang Xianggong refused to give approval, doesn't it mean that the chapter is still in the Chinese book?" ”

Gu Yanzhang was stunned for a moment.

According to the process of the Great Jin Dynasty, the excerpt must first be sent to the Zhongshu, and after the approval of the subordinate province, it will be confirmed by the palace, and the recurrence will be returned to the Zhongshu and returned to the person who performs the matter.

This time, Huang Zhaoliang refused to reply, and for this reason, he also stiffened up with the Empress Dowager Zhang, which showed that the fold was in his hand.

Without the seal of the Chinese book, this method cannot be approved, so what happened to what he saw the day before yesterday?

After only thinking about it for a while, Gu Yanzhang figured out the key to it, he smiled bitterly, and said, "I didn't expect that I hadn't seen him for a long time, Zhang Hu still had a hurry to do things. ”

He said everything like this, where would Ji Qingling not understand.

Although she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she could guess a few points.

Xu Shijian refused to accept the order, how could any official be able to suppress the high-spirited Zhang Hu - I think it was he who was the deputy head of the water prison at this time.

The "Iron Dragon Claw Mud Truck Method" was personally selected by Zhang Hu, and he specially handed the fold up. He was sent for the first time, and with his character, he must have made a brilliant achievement.

Huang Zhaoliang refused to approve his excerpts, but it didn't matter, he could still approve it after all.

But at this time, it is late spring, and the flood season is coming in a blink of an eye, if you move too slowly, you can't catch up, what to do?

Zhang Hu is determined not to wait.

It's a sure thing, and there's no need to be entangled, he has a hard waist and full confidence, and he is dedicated to doing things, and he doesn't have the slightest selfishness, so he can go straight to the middle!

In his opinion, when Zhongshu quarrels with an ugly man, he can't say it, and the water has rushed into the Daxiangguo Temple!

If you are a bystander, the Chinese book has not been replied to, so you have to wait honestly, you can Zhang Hu's heart and confidence, without approval, do things first, and really do what others can do.

"I can't complain about the rumors in Beijing, saying that the water supervisor is in charge of water control and wants to transport boulders, but there are not enough appliances and materials, and even hemp rope is not enough." Ji Qingling sighed, "Although there are always people who repair the canal, but this time the man-made disaster can actually be avoided completely." ”

She thought about it, but there was nothing she could do, so she had to ask: "It's already a fatality, do you think that Zhang Hu will be more thoughtful in the future?" ”

Gu Yanzhang nodded and said: "Water control is a big deal, if Fan Dashen is next, with his ability, it should be no big problem." ”

Fan Yaochen is different from Huang Zhaoliang and Xu Shijian, he was born in a cold background, and his mother was caught in a flood when he was young, and he died of an epidemic.

"Last year was a small year, there are several large breaches of dikes along the Bianqu and the Yellow River, and there are countless small breaches, not to mention that in this rainy year, the water potential will inevitably rise sharply, and it is more difficult to prevent. Fan Dashen refused to agree to the 'Iron Dragon Claw Mud Truck Method', and he thought that he would only be relieved if he took care of it himself. With him staring, even if there is something really going on, it won't make too much trouble. ”

He comforted Ji Qingling, but outside of his words, he didn't put any hope on Zhang Hu.

No way, it's really unreliable.

Ji Qingling nodded, finally not so worried.

Fan Yaochen is known for his ability to govern and is well known to the world.

As soon as the matter came to an end, Ji Qingling remembered the matter of borrowing Sun Bian's name post, and hurriedly explained it in detail with Gu Yanzhang, and finally said a little proudly: "I see that the carriages are of different shapes, and the coachman does not look like a merchant's family, and several cars are connected in one place, so I guessed that several official eunuchs and their relatives traveled together, and when the Sun family took the post and asked, it was not wrong!" ”

"Sun Shenzheng's post, in front of some officials, couldn't be more useful, don't say that he didn't shirk it, he was afraid that he would contribute less than the rest."

She only mentioned a few words about her presence and action, and emphasized the follow-up disposal, and then said: "In a hurry, there is no other way, so I have to borrow the name of Sun Shenzheng, although yesterday I sent Qiu Yue to thank his wife with a gift, and also apologized, I am afraid that the fifth brother will come to the door in person." ”

Gu Yanzhang didn't care at all, and said: "When I mentioned the matter of the Criminal Division, I went to find Sun Shenzheng and apologized - in fact, just mention it simply, doesn't his family always feel that Hezhou owes us a favor that time?" The bento can be paid off this time, so I don't have to be verbose in the future. ”

He cares more about another thing than these other people's things.

He looked Ji Qingling up and down, although he didn't see the external injury, he was still a little uneasy, and said: "The sunset stone, you said it was in front of the carriage, how far is it ahead?" Didn't it hurt you? And he said, "Why don't you ask a doctor to take a look?" I heard that sometimes I don't feel it, but in fact, I am frightened, and it takes many years to send it out, and it is not good to have the root of the disease. ”

Ji Qingling shook his head and said: "There are several carriages, and not even a stone has rolled over, where are you going to see a doctor." He comforted him again, "Where does the fifth brother seem to be heretical and crooked, I have never heard this in any serious medical book." ”

The two of them said this, the water in the compartment had already been put away, and there was already a rosin who took a change of clothes and put it in, Gu Yanzhang asked Ji Qingling, knowing that she had already washed it, so she had to go in and take a bath alone.

He had been out for a day today, going back and forth between rivers and embankments, and secretly inquiring about a major matter.

The matter was over, the boulder that Gu Yanzhang was blocking in his heart finally fell to the ground, he was really nervous for a long time, he was relaxed at this time, washed and washed, and actually sat in the water and slept for a while.

In the end, he was young, but the water was not so cold after the kung fu of Xiao Banzhuxiang, and he woke up, and suddenly felt that most of his strength was back.
