Chapter 216: Manuscript
Xiahou Ren said with a dark face: "I'll have someone send it later." ”
He paused, and was reluctant to give the original to Zhao Hanzhang, so he said: "That's my hard work for many years, I want to leave some as a souvenir, how about you wait for me to give you a copy of it?" ”
"How dare you bother my uncle? Ting Han is also good at drawing, so it is better to hand over the manuscript to us and let us copy it. Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile: "After the painting is finished, I will personally return the original manuscript to my uncle." ”
Xiahouren still wanted to fight again, so Zhao Ming squinted his eyes and said, "Zitai won't be reluctant, so he wants to regret it, right?" ”
Xiahou Ren had a black face, the reason why he should mention this matter later was because he was afraid that they would think so, and sure enough, they still thought so, it was really the heart of a villain, was he that kind of person?
Xiahouren shook his sleeves, called his entourage, and said on the spot: "Go back and get all the manuscripts of my Yuzhou." ”
Xiahouren's manuscripts are all in suitcases, so those like Xiahouren who love to travel, once there is danger, their life's work may disappear into the long river of history.
Zhao Hanzhang felt that she was saving her heart and soul for them, so thinking about it, she took the manuscript that she brought with her without any psychological burden.
There are many manuscripts, although they are only part of Yuzhou, and they are also a thick pile, most of which are written on paper, but some are written on silk cloth.
Zhao Hanzhang casually took out a roll of silk cloth and opened it, and found that it was a topographic map of Shangcai, the handwriting was very old, and it should have been painted for several years.
Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows slightly, rolled up the silk cloth, and said to Xiahou Ren, who had a painful face: "Uncle, don't worry, I will return the manuscript as soon as possible." ”
Xia Houren tried not to look at the manuscripts on the table, because it was too heartbroken.
Zhao Ming accepted it when he saw it, and invited Xiahouren, "Prepare a little thin wine at home, and Zitai will drink with me?" ”
Xiahouren looked at Zhao Hanzhang.
Zhao Ming said with a relieved face: "Sanniang is filial piety and is keeping filial piety for the uncle, so she won't be with us." ”
Xia Houren could only leave.
Zhao Ming secretly glared at Zhao Hanzhang when he left, and warned her to be honest recently, her reputation had been beaten out, but don't break his signboard.
Zhao Cheng disagreed, as far as he knew, Zhao Hanzhang started drinking after passing the filial piety, it was not the bitter filial piety of Shou, wouldn't the fifth brother be deceitful like this?
Zhao Hanzhang successfully received Zhao Ming's signal, nodded slightly at him, and sent the five uncles out of the gate with Fu Tinghan respectfully.
Zhao Hanzhang stood in front of the gate to send them off, and as soon as they walked away, the smile on his face was immediately put away, and he picked up Fu Tinghan and ran home, "Go and see the manuscript." ”
Ji Yuan also received the news and rushed over, and the three of them looked through Xiahouren's manuscript together.
Most of them are sketches, only some manuscripts, and the manuscripts mostly record the customs of various places, as well as some mountains and rivers.
For example, Yingshui is a branch of the Huai River, and the river will flood every three or five years because of the narrowness of the river 50 miles below, and the local people think that the river god is asking for bribes, so they have to throw livestock sacrifices into the river every three years.
The more people fled the nearby villages, saddened by the value of the offerings, but Xiahouren believed that the river was flooding because of the siltation in the river, and that the silt could be removed.
It also wrote his answer to the local county magistrate to talk about the matter.
The county magistrate said that he knew about the incident, and had sent people to preach the villagers, and arranged for the villages to send labor to clean up the river, but the villagers did not appreciate it, thinking that the county order was a waste of money and offended the river god.
Because of the heavy flood in the second year of dredging, the river is still overflowing, even worse than in previous years.
The county magistrate vomited bitterness, believing that there were two main reasons for the flooding of the river at that time, one was that it happened that there was more precipitation than in previous years; The second is that the laborers were lazy and did not dredge according to his regulations, but dug up some silt, but there was still a section that was not cleaned, which caused the river to be even narrower and more abrupt, and the water flow upstream soared, and when it converged, it washed away the section of the river that had not been dredged according to the regulations.
Since then, however, it has been difficult for him to direct the dredging of those villages.
The prefectural order simply lies flat and is sacrificed by them every year.
Xiahouren expressed regret over the incident, then drew a map of the river and left.
Fu Tinghan carefully looked at the river map and said: "To clear the dredging, this section alone is not enough, you have to start cleaning from here, and it is best to dig a new river channel to divert the water, which can not only control the flood, but also increase the amount of irrigation in the fields." ”
Zhao Hanzhang: "This project is not small, and it requires a lot of manpower and material resources. ”
Ji Yuan: "...... Girl, Yingshui is in Ruyin, far away from our Runan, do you want to take a look at the picture of Runan first? ”
"Oh," Zhao Hanzhang honestly put down the picture and manuscript, and rummaged through the drawings of Runan.
It is not self-contained, basically one for a county, or several, Xia Houren is still very free to make pictures, sometimes a map of village and town roads, sometimes he draws a separate river map.
It's also a huge amount of work to put them together into a single drawing, but this can be done later, and I will copy them out for now, but so many drawings, and so many of them, are also a big project.
The three of them just sorted out and divided the counties in Yuzhou, and they were busy until the evening before they were assigned to the counties.
Wang came to see them twice, and when he saw that they were busy, he sent them food and left, without disturbing them again.
She was about to change her clothes and lie down, when there was a sudden knock on the door, she was startled, "It's late at night, who is still coming?" ”
Qinggu went out to inquire and came back soon, "It's Master Ming, go directly to the study." ”
Wang Shi was suddenly a little worried, "It's so late...... Could it be that something is wrong? ”
Qinggu: "Isn't it because of the afternoon fight?" ”
The Wang family didn't know that her daughter was fighting with others until after Xiahouren left, but because Zhao Hanzhang won, she didn't take it to heart.
At this time, Fang felt afraid, that Xiahouren's status is not low, maybe he minds this competition?
Qinggu saw that she was really worried, so she said, "Shall I go to the study to have a look?" ”
"Go quickly," Wang said, after turning around, "bring some snacks, and let the kitchen cook some meat, when I go to see it in the evening, there are a lot of manuscripts on the table, and I am hungry and full of meat quickly." ”
Qinggu should go down.
Fu An led Zhao Ming in, Zhao Hanzhang raised his head and nodded casually, "It's so late at night, why is my uncle still here?" ”
Zhao Ming walked directly forward to look at the manuscripts in front of her, "What do you say?" ”
Zhao Hanzhang smiled, and presented the half-sorted sketch with both hands, "Look, this is the mountain and river map of Xiping and Shangcai." ”
Zhao Ming flipped it over, and saw the detailed markings of Zhao's Dock Fort on it, and even the several roads next to it were clearly marked.
He couldn't help but shudder down his spine, "When did you draw this, Xia Houren was able to draw it in such detail." ”
"There's a date under the picture."
Zhao Ming glanced at it, raised his head and stared at Zhao Hanzhang, "How did you know that Xiahou Ren had such a picture?" ”
