Chapter 164: If you can prevent the flood, you can't prevent the hearts of the people
The last wave of flood peaks passed, the torrential rain that lasted for more than ten days also stopped, the dark clouds moved away, and the sun was re-revealed.
In the past ten days, he felt that he had been taught a lesson, this lesson was what "the way of being an official", this lesson, more than what he had gained as an official for half his life.
He took out the official seal, and for some reason, he didn't report his safety to his boss Qin Zhizhou, but instead gave birth to a wild goose and flew to Jingshi.
In the Qufu, the rain has passed and the sky is clear.
Lin Su put down the powder in his hand and looked at the sun that had not been seen for a long time.
On the roof of Yixian Courtyard, Qu Xiu put down the Dream of Red Mansions in his hand, walked out of the pavilion, and looked into the distance, the fog in the distance gradually dissipated, revealing the huge mountain of books behind the Gongyuan......
A golden goose flew from afar and flew to the top of the building where they were.
Lin Su came out of the small room, and the golden goose fell on his hand and turned into a line of words: "The rainy season has passed, the forty-mile river embankment in Haining is intact, and none of the people on the river beach have died!" Great news, only the king knows! ”
On the roof of Yixian Temple, everyone jumped up at the same time, and the cheers shook the whole courtyard......
Lin Su laughed: "Today is really a double happiness, Haining is safe for one joy, guess what the other joy is?" ”
Qu Xiu was shocked: "Uncle, could it be ...... Could it be that the dye has already been made? ”
"Exactly!" Lin Su said: "Sister Chen, you can set up a new printing and dyeing factory with your sister-in-law!" ”
Sister Chen came out of the room, close to ten days of hardship, she was stained with various paints, but her face was extremely moving: "Second young grandmother, the son worked hard for ten days, and finally made a special dye, I just verified, eighteen colors, all moving, what is even more unimaginable is that it will never fade, even if it is washed dozens of times, it is still as new, and there is no color left in the laundry water." ”
How is this possible?
Qu Xiu and Qu Juan are all stunned, and they don't fade after washing dozens of times?
It's absolutely impossible!
Dingjia dyeing workshop is known as the best dyeing workshop, the cloth they dye will fade after washing once, and the color will become very light after washing ten times, and it will become very light after washing dozens of times, not to mention that there is no color, at least what color it is, you will never be able to see it......
It only took him ten days to solve the problem of dyeing? And also ushered in a new era of printing and dyeing?
Whether she is or the whole composer, they all want to imitate, and the conscience of heaven and earth really doesn't want to surpass!
The green clothes and the dark night also looked at each other, and this is it?
Sister Chen said that he had worked hard for ten days, what a fart did he work hard? In the past ten days, he played in green clothes for four nights, played dark nights for five nights, took time to write ten chapters of the Red Mansion, lying on the roof of the building every day and drinking Mingqian tea, and taking a nap every day.
Sister Chen and the Qu sisters went to organize people to build a workshop - no, it's called building a factory!
With excitement, but also with disbelief.
Liu'er got the fifteenth chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions" from Lin Su, and hurried home, the Red Mansion was given to Lu Youwei, who was already looking forward to it, and she also told Lu Youwei about what she had seen today, she had just entered Qu Mansion at that time, and she saw the Hongyan biography in the distance, and saw the cheers of these people on the top of the building.
This seemed to her to be too unusual.
The people on the roof of the building are peerless in literature, others write Jinguang poems to pay tribute to their ancestors, and he writes hand-me-down poems as if they were joking.
Others made a few dollars of silver and cheered, he was said to be able to earn tens of thousands of dollars a day, and he had almost no sense of money.
What's going on today?
Soon, she knew the reason, Haining, the forty-mile river embankment was intact......
She told Lu Youwei about it casually.
Lu Youwei's gaze suddenly moved away from the book, so surprised......
"Miss, this is the matter...... Is it big? "Liu'er doesn't understand.
Lu Youwei took a deep breath: "Did he say that this embankment has anything to do with him?" ”
"I didn't say it, it should have something to do with him, the slave maid thinks ha, maybe his family's industry is on the other side of the river embankment, the river embankment is fine, and the industry is fine......
Lu Youwei said: "But the Haining River embankment I know lacks embankments every year, and there are no exceptions, how dare he build his industry in such a Jedi?" I'm going to find grandpa......"
She didn't read "Dream of Red Mansions" for the first time, and waited outside her grandfather's study for a whole hour before finally waiting for her grandfather to be on duty......
"Grandpa, hurry up and check the situation of the flood in Haining."
Lu Tiancong was slightly stunned: "Could it be...... The Lin family suffered a catastrophe? ”
"It's not!" Lu Youwei gasped: "He just received a news that Haining's forty-mile river beach is intact in this flood!" Last year, he signed the letter of state with 100,000 taels of silver, to give 100,000 people in Haining a stable home, and the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee laughed at him as a loser, but now, the river embankment is intact, and none of the people have died. Grandpa, don't you think there's a mystery in this? ”
Lu Tiancong shook suddenly.
At these times, he received too many twists and turns, and he couldn't remember what the place was, anyway, it was roughly connected, on both sides of the Yangtze River, there was no pure land, but at this moment, listening to his granddaughter say this, he quickly recalled in his brain that Quzhou was a place that was extremely affected, but Haining under the rule of Quzhou ......
No news!
In the past, Haining was the hardest hit area!
Qin Fangweng, the governor of Quzhou, will write to the court every time, how many displaced people in Haining have died, how many people have been displaced, and the court should be used for disaster relief, but this year, he didn't see the word Haining!
Could it be that Haining really didn't suffer a disaster this year?
How can it be?
The river is surging, Haining is low, who has the ability to go to the sky to divert the river?
Contact Qin Fangweng today......
Lu Tiancong had just made this preparation, but soon changed his mind and directly contacted Haining Yang Governor.
As soon as the official seal lit up, Governor Yang appeared in front of him and bowed slightly: "I have seen Xiangye, Xiangye personally summoned him, and the lower official really didn't expect ......"
Lu Tian looked over from Governor Yang's body, and immediately saw the river embankment behind him, a straight line of river embankment extended into the distance, as if endless, his heart was shocked, there was actually such a river embankment, when was it repaired? Who gives the funds? Why didn't he know? If it weren't for the fact that he saw a bend on the other side of the Yangtze River and the Wangjiang Tower, he almost suspected that this was not Haining.
"Governor Yang, this is ...... behind you"
Governor Yang turned his head and smiled when he turned around again: "Prime Minister, the place where Xia Guan stands is the former river beach of the displaced people, and this river embankment was built between October and November last year, because the funds from the treasury were not used, so Xia Guan did not report to Shang Feng. ”
Lu Tiancong frowned: "Didn't use the funds of the treasury? So who invested? ”
"The riverside displaced people built it themselves, of course, it is mainly the credit of the third son of Lin Sulin, he built three factories here, provided almost all the materials for free, the riverside displaced people contributed, he contributed materials, and finally achieved such a magnificent project."
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
Lu Tiancong was even more surprised: "This river embankment costs a lot, can this official imagine that he bears it alone?" Also, how can a project like this be completed in just one year? What kind of magic is it? ”
Governor Yang smiled, Xiang Ye thought this embankment was a stone, right? Not! Haining Baili Plain, how can there be so many stones? This is a new type of material made by Sangongzi, called cement! It is really an artifact to build a flood control embankment, the price is low, it is as strong as iron, and the greater benefit is that it is easy to build......
Lu Tiancong was shocked.
Built in a month?
Low price?
The world is flooded, and the rainy season every year is a day of suffering for all the people in the world......
His heart fluctuated, and he wanted to find Lin Su as soon as possible.
However, after many years as an official, he is still very calm: "Governor Yang, you have done a very good job!" The imperial court disaster relief will immediately go to the prefectures and capitals, you quickly report the losses of this mansion to Qin Zhizhou, and appease the victims......"
Governor Yang said: "Xiangye, the thirteen southern states are full of disasters, you don't have to provide disaster relief here, I have reached a consensus with the Lin family, and from tomorrow, the whole province will provide disaster relief." ”
"Lin family disaster relief?" Lu Tiancong's face sank slightly: "Governor Yang, you have also been an official for many years, how could you commit such a taboo?" ”
In the face of the disaster, the court's disaster relief is the right reason, if there is a good household wants to provide disaster relief, the government of the small knock regards you as good, if the scope is too large, it is a big taboo.
What do you want?
Buying people's hearts?
Yang Zhifu was shocked, he seemed to be really a little carried away by the good news, he just met with the old lady of the Lin family, the old lady is really poor and alone, and the big one is to help the world, as soon as he heard that there are a large number of victims in Haining, he immediately said that the Lin family can bear the disaster relief of 100,000 taels of silver, anyway, San Lang will make money, doesn't he always say that the old lady is a loser? The old lady can't just bear the name of a loser and not do the business of a loser......
On the spot, several girls laughed happily.
Governor Yang was also stimulated.
But now that I heard Xiang Ye say this, I also felt the seriousness of the problem.
Other families are easy to do, but the Lin family is very sensitive, and they need to know that Lin Su's first poem that is famous in the world is suspected of being anti-poetry, and the hall is full of three thousand guests, and one sword is frosty and cold in forty states......
No way! This poem is not an anti-poem, and Governor Yang is not convinced!
If he uses the strength of his family to help the disaster of the mansion now, will the people of Manfu not miss the good of his Lin family?
Governor Yang realized his mistake, thanked Xiangye for reminding him, and thanked him and left.
Lu Tiancong put away the official seal, and his chest rose and fell slightly......
"Grandpa, you have to report to Your Majesty quickly, and order all states and governments to immediately purchase this kind of divine material and repair the embankments in various places, maybe next year, there will be no such terrible disaster."
Lu Tian didn't move, his eyes wandering.
Lu Youwei was anxious: "Grandpa, no matter what kind of person he is, it doesn't hurt that he is a peerless genius, the people of Dacang need him, they need a god like him, cement!" Coal! The lives of hundreds of millions of people are at stake! Grandpa......"
Lu Tiancong nodded slowly: "It's about the lives of hundreds of millions of people!" Grandpa understands the weight of it...... Well, I'll go see Your Majesty! ”
Lu Tiancong entered the palace, saw His Majesty, and told Haining about the situation, and he sensitively noticed that His Majesty's face did not seem to be cheerful, but even more gloomy, and Lu Tiancong's heart also sank quietly.
His Majesty summoned several other ministers to discuss the matter.
Several ministers expressed their opinions.
Zhang Wenyuan said that it is an iron law to use stone to waterproof, how can there be "cement" to be waterproof? Unless he casts a spell in this muddy water! needs to know that his friendship with the demon clan is known to the world.
As soon as the demon law theory came out, it shocked everyone.
Right! Zhao Xun added: The Lin family harbors evil intentions, the world knows it, and it is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, how can he be allowed to calmly lay out? What if one day he raises the flag to rebel and activates the demon clan organs designed on various rivers, and the river lacks embankments?
Song Du reported that he had just received a report from Qin Zhizhou, who said that at the time of this flood, the sky over Haining was full of demonic energy, and he didn't know whether it was auspicious or fierce......
Lu Tian sighed from looking up to the sky.
When he heard the news of the flood control weapon and saw its magic with his own eyes, he had an impulse to change this era, perhaps this impulse itself also carried his own utilitarian desire to pursue the official voice and the people's hearts, but after all, it was also a normal thinking for officials, but soon he understood that things were not so simple.
When His Majesty's face was gloomy, he knew what the outcome of this meeting of ministers was.
Demon law is an excuse.
The reason why they want to suppress the Lin family is the reason.
His Majesty's jealousy of Lin Su is also a reason.
Even if the people of the world sacrifice hundreds of millions of people, what does it have to do with them?
But helping the Lin family to make a name for themselves and buying the hearts of the people in the world for the Lin family is really likely to shake their rule.
This is the way of thinking of the superiors.
Lu Youwei doesn't understand these, how can Lu Tiancong not understand?
Therefore, the miracle of Haining not only did not spread all over the world, but even among the official seals of various places, Haining's deeds are a taboo. The people of the outer provinces, who did not know that the most effective flood control weapon had appeared, but it was sealed in the mouths of the superiors.
……
Lin Su had already thought about the cement matter, and he even contacted Li Wei, the person in charge of the cement plant, and asked in detail about the cement output, and he realized that there would be a large number of orders coming soon.
A flood, a big test, Haining stood out in this big test, the government will naturally pay attention, once it is concerned, who is not moved? The spring of cement is coming.
However, to his surprise, three days have passed, and no one has talked to him about the cement problem, there are rumors in Haining, cement is a demon law, it looks solid is just an illusion, once you really buy it, as long as the people of the Lin family snap their fingers, this solid cement will immediately turn into mud......
As soon as he heard these rumors, Lin Su was really angry.
I still underestimated the shamelessness of the court officials!
Lin Jialiang was even more furious, these people were too shameless, in order to suppress the Lin family, they didn't even care about the lives of hundreds of millions of people. Third brother, I really hope that I will become an official as soon as possible......
If he is the official ruling party, he can turn the third brother's vision into reality.
Lin Su smiled: "There are only seven days left for the palace test, and a lot of things will happen in these seven days, but one thing will not change, you will be the first civil official of the Lin family to go out, and under your rule, it will be a paradise for the people!" ”
Lin Jialiang grabbed his hand tightly: "Third brother, we will all be!" The third brother is talented through the heavens and latitudes, and he is worried about the country and the people, if he can't be an official, the sky will not tolerate it! ”
A voice came from outside: "Childe, someone is visiting!" ”
The Lin brothers glanced at each other, who could it be?
