Li Feng is clasping his hands in front of his abdomen, waiting very nervously.

will come to the county lord's mansion to submit the paper, because he is desperate, his article has been submitted to the officials above the fourth grade in the capital, but unfortunately no one reads it, maybe some people read it, but they don't appreciate it, and they are all returned.

But he didn't vote for officials below the fourth grade, and they didn't have the right to be promoted.

Li Feng also wrote poems and submitted papers, but he was not good at that, and he couldn't even look at the poems he wrote.

After thinking about it, he still chose to continue to submit his article, which took twelve years to write.

He came to vote for Lin Qingwan because he had nothing to vote for, and the fellow villagers in the post house reminded him: "Why don't you go to the eldest princess, General Zhong or Lord Lin?" All three of them are daughters of His Majesty, so maybe they can speak? ”

The fellow villagers said this just to see Li Feng's pain, so he said it casually.

But Li Feng thought about it seriously, it's no secret that the eldest princess likes gorgeous poetry, and Zhong Ruying is also both civil and military, and there are also many people who vote for her, as for Lord Lin......

Although this Lord Lin also has a lot of prestige among the people, but in the end, the foundation is shallow, and no one really thought of throwing a scroll at her before.

Li Feng seriously listed and compared the affairs of the three princesses, and finally resolutely chose Lin Qingwan.

This is a kind of gamble, if his line is not recognized today, then he has no chance to enter the Shike this year.

He knows his ability, although his knowledge is not bad, but it is only not bad, but it is still very difficult to enter the top 50 of the beam.

Oh, the number of Jinshi admitted by Daliang each session varies, but they are all above fifty and below one hundred, and there may be more this year, because most of the Southern Han Dynasty has just been laid.

But there is not much more, so Li Feng knows that unless he is sure to enter the top 50, it will be difficult to have a chance of winning, because he is not a local and has no reputation at all.

He can only recommend himself by submitting papers.

Just as he was nervous, the butler of the county lord's mansion came in with a smile and respectfully bowed his hand to him: "Mr. Li, my county lord is invited." ”

Li Feng's eyes lit up, every time he submitted the paper, he just handed the paper to the porter and was asked to leave, or was it the first time he could see the master's house, Lord Lin recognized his article?

Li Feng tidied up his clothes, lowered his eyes and respectfully followed Steward Lin to the flower hall.

Entering the flower hall, he didn't dare to look up at the top immediately, but slightly lifted his eyelids, and when he saw the two people sitting on the top, he couldn't help but step forward and salute nervously, "The villain greets Lord Lin." ”

Lin Qingwan smiled and stretched out her hand slightly, "Sir, please get up." ”

Li Feng got up and stood aside nervously, and Lin Qingwan asked with a smile, "Mr. is too restrained, if you don't look up, I don't know what the person who threw the scroll looks like." ”

Li Feng could only raise his head to look at the upper seat, and was about to bow his head after seeing Lin Qingwan when he looked at Zhong Ruying beside her, and was immediately startled.

As the first female general of Daliang, of course he knows Zhong Ruying, but Zhong Ruying doesn't know him.

Li Feng hurriedly knelt down to salute her again.

This time, not only Lin Qingwan, but Zhong Ruying also saw his appearance clearly, and couldn't help but bring out three points of disappointment in his eyes, so dark, so thin, he looked completely like the head of a rural banker.

No, the crop heads may all grow more handsome than him.

Lin Qingwan didn't care about his appearance, and asked people to serve him tea with no different color, and then quietly glared at Zhong Ruying.

Zhong Ruying hurriedly restrained her expression, smiled at him, and excused him.

Seeing Lin Qingwan treating him so politely, she couldn't help but be curious.

What the hell is good about this man?

Lin Qingwan asked him about his place of origin and some family circumstances as usual, and then he held the scroll on the table and asked, "Dare to ask Mr. Li, did you write this article?" ”

"Yes," Li Feng lowered his head, but his back was straight, "The villain has been doing some clerical work in the Hezhong Mansion, and the villain has participated in the repair of the Yellow River in the past fifteen years, and this article is made by the villain according to Wang Jing's control of the water and the situation in the Hezhong Mansion in the past thirty years." ”

Li Feng said: "Actually, this is only part of it, and the villain has a more specific plan for water control." ”

It could be seen that Lin Qingwan was interested in this, and Li Feng was also excited when he talked about what he was good at.

Lin Qingwan put down his scroll and asked directly: "The Yellow River basin in a section of Hezhongfu is divided into Fenshui, Luoshui and Weishui, plus the main stream section, a total of four sections, and even a small section has been washed out in recent years. ”

Li Feng's spirit was shocked, and after glancing at Lin Qingwan in surprise, he said solemnly: "County Lord, I have always thought that water control should start from the downstream, as long as the downstream is dredged, the upstream will not be full, and the matter of breaking the embankment and flooding can naturally be solved......

Li Feng is a native of Hezhongfu, which is affected by the flooding of the Yellow River, and it is at the bend of the Yellow River.

That section has always been the most blocked and flood-prone place of the Yellow River.

Li Feng, Li Feng never thought of being admitted to the Jinshi, he knew since he was a child that although he was smart, he was not particularly smart, at least not the material for the Jinshi.

His father also knew, so when he reached the crown, his father quickly stepped down from the government and let his son pass the government office's examination to take his position in the paperwork.

Three generations of their family have been officials.

He and his father's dream is to work hard to accumulate qualifications, and one day they can be placed in the county under their jurisdiction as a high-ranking chief bookkeeper or county clerk.

In the first year of his entry into the palace, he encountered the flood of the Yellow River, and the entire city was flooded, and their family had been from the river for generations, with countless relatives and friends, and many of those who died were his relatives and friends.

Even if you are not relatives and friends, looking at the baked cake stall that you pass by every day when you go to Shangyadu, the owner of the pork stall has become a soaked corpse, and the grandmother who sells vegetables on the street corner every day has been washed up on the roof by the flood, and her whole body is soft when she is moved down, and she is no longer the same......

And those children who would always run around him and call big brother, reaching out for candy became cold, and Li Feng couldn't help but want to do something.

However, what he could do was limited, thinking day and night, consulting and researching data every day, and taking advantage of his position to investigate, he began to write 12 years ago, listed countless plans, and also confirmed or overturned his views little by little in the management of the Yellow River every year, and finally achieved a small success last year.

He didn't think about being admitted to the Jinshi, he just wanted to hand over the things to Shangguan and he would deliver them to the Ministry of Works.

However, the thing was knocked down before it was handed over, and even the position of the document was almost not kept.

Oh, maybe he can't keep it anymore, because he has been suspended since last year, and there is no way, he can only pass the state exam and go to the capital to take the Jinshi exam.

The education in Hezhong Mansion is not good, and he can barely pass the state test, but he can take the Jinshi exam......

Unless he is brilliant and someone in the court protects him, he will not think about it this year.

But now Li Feng thinks that it is nothing if he fails to pass the Jinshi exam, the Lord of Linjun understands him, she knows how to do it, then his book on water control may have a bright future, then his goal has been achieved, even if he does not take the Jinshi exam, it is nothing.

Li Feng became even more excited when he thought about it, he was no longer satisfied, he also asked Lin Qingwan for a pair of pen and ink, and directly drew a river map for her, and said: "County Lord, let me tell you, what I expect is to cast a dam here, we don't need to use silicon, use stone bricks to build ......."

Lin Qingwan walked to his side and listened to him seriously, Zhong Ruying stood aside and was dumbfounded, looked at Lin Qingwan, and then at Li Feng, couldn't help but shake her head and go back to her seat and sit down to drink tea and wait.

Lin Qingwan does not understand the river control project, but she has done research on historical figures with her mentor, when the tutor had a research topic about the Qing Dynasty emperor Kangxi, she was very pleased with a minister is Jin Fu, this famous Hanchen is a minister of water control, on the ability and efficacy of river governance, he is far beyond the Ming Dynasty river control minister Pan Jitao.

And Chen Huang, another capable minister of the Qing Dynasty, was his assistant, and now Li Feng's view of river governance is simply a collection of those two.

And countless experiences in later generations have proved that their views are correct and forward-looking, but one point of view is contrary to Kangxi's, and the other is not taken seriously.

In any case, later generations did develop a better system for managing the Yellow River from their point of view.

Although Li Feng only mentioned it in the article, Lin Qingwan still saw the two most important arguments.

She didn't expect someone to be so forward-looking now, knowing that it is now equivalent to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period in her previous life, and such an advanced concept of river governance will only appear when it is Ming and Qing dynasties.

Lin Qingwan looked at Li Feng in amazement, and after confirming that he was only the author himself, she waved her hand and said: "I like your article very much, I will recommend it to the Ministry of Industry, you go back to the post house and wait first." ”

Lin Qingwan thought for a while and said, "If you have any difficulties, you can come to me." ”

After that, let Steward Lin give him a letter of the name of the county lord's mansion.

Li Feng took it in a daze, then took a step back and bowed to Lin Qingwan greatly, holding back tears and saying with a touched face: "Thank you, Your Highness!" ”

Steward Lin shrewdly stepped forward to send Li Feng out, not only arranged a carriage for him, but also gave him a bag of silver, and said with a smile: "Mr. take it to drink tea and thank your fellow villagers, it can be regarded as a little heart from our county lord." ”

Li Feng was indeed shy, and he knew that if Shangguan took the Zhongxing paper, he would often support the poor students, so he accepted it gratefully, and then went back to the post house happily.

He ran back to the inn, and the first thing he did was to find his fellow villagers who showed him the way, hugged him and said, "Thank you brother for reminding me, go, my brother invites you to drink." ”

The fellow villager was stunned for a moment and asked, "Did you throw the scroll?" ”

"Cast out," Li Feng said excitedly: "Lord Lin actually knows how to govern the river, she said that she would recommend me to the Ministry of Industry, even if I can't be admitted to the Jinshi, my book will not be buried." ”

The fellow villager was speechless in surprise, he, he just saw him depressed at the time, so he casually came up with an idea, and it turned out to be?

Li Feng was already excitedly about to pull him to drink, and the fellow villager hurriedly dragged him and said: "Since Lin County mainly recommended you to the Ministry of Industry, then you have to rest better, do you want to go to see people tomorrow with a drunken body?" And you're going to the exam room the day after tomorrow......"
