After Zhu Manniang was released, Wei Chen also went to a heart disease, otherwise there was such a poisonous snake hidden in the state office, and Wei Chen felt uncomfortable when he thought about it.

On Gu Tingye's side, Sister Rong lost her biological mother, so naturally she couldn't avoid crying, but this had to be solved by Gu Tingye himself, Wei Chen couldn't intervene in everything, he still had tens of thousands of people in Yuzhou to take care of.

Mid-February.

Under the rule of Yuzhou, the sun is shining.

Since the beginning of spring, Yuzhou has been a spring rain, after the rain stopped, immediately it was a sunny day for more than ten days, there was no cool breeze, and it was so hot that it was dry.

Yuzhou Zhizhou Weichen has been out of Yuzhou City since the beginning of the month, to the following counties to inspect, now Xinzheng County has seen, the next destination is naturally Mi County.

Sun Zhuo, the magistrate of Mi County, was greeting him on the official road with officials such as the county magistrate, the canonical history, and the main bookkeeper at this time.

Hearing that the route of Zhizhou's patrol was Xinzheng Zaimi County, Sun Zhuo was very worried.

There is no harm without contrast.

Xinzheng County is where the city of Yuzhou Prefecture is located, and Chen Jun of Zhizhou County is also the same township of Zhizhou Weichen and the same year, and there is also the existence of the Jun porcelain guild in the territory, which can be said to be the first month near the water, as the main area of the Jun porcelain trade, the development is changing with each passing day.

Mi County does not have this kind of good luck, not only did not get much light from Jun porcelain, but also adjacent to the turbulent Yellow River.

The existence of this hanging river on the ground has caused the groundwater level on both sides of the river to rise, and the salt has accumulated on the surface with evaporation, forming a large area of saline-alkali land unsuitable for cultivation in the depression part of the Yellow River.

Industry and commerce are underdeveloped, and agriculture is also sluggish. In mid-December last year, Mi County collected less than one-third of the taxes collected by Xinzheng County, which can be regarded as the one that dragged Yuzhou back.

Because of this, Sun Zhuo, the magistrate of Mi County, who was waiting next to the official road, took out a towel from time to time to wipe the sweat dripping from his forehead, not hot, but panicked.

At this time, a servant in the distance rushed to him and shouted, "Coming, coming!" ”

Sun Zhuo hurriedly beckoned him and asked, "But Lord Zhizhou has arrived?" ”

The official bowed down and reported: "I only saw people coming from the official road, I don't know if it is Lord Zhizhou." ”

Sun Zhuo was so angry when he heard this: "I don't have any eyesight, what do I want you to do!" ”

However, Mi County is a poor county, and there are few good horses in the county government, otherwise Sun Zhuo would have let the officials take fast horses along the official road to find them.

Just as Sun Zhuo was about to look through the autumn water, two golden fans suddenly appeared on the official road in the distance, and the sound of gongs and shouts slowly came towards this side.

Officials have their own rules for traveling, seven products travel to play black fans, six products travel to break gold fans, and five products travel to play big gold fans.

The use of honor guards at a higher level is a violation of etiquette and will be impeached by the imperial history.

Looking at the entire Yuzhou City, the only official who can travel with a big golden fan is Weichen, the governor of Yuzhou.

It was Sun Zhuo who recognized the identity of the person at a glance, and immediately perked up: "It's really Lord Zhizhou, hurry up and fire a cannon to greet you!" ”

After speaking, the firecrackers rang out, and Sun Zhuo led the county officials to avoid the road to greet them.

After the sedan chair stopped, Zhao Ceying dismounted first, stepped forward to lift the sedan curtain, and Wei Chen, who was dressed in an official robe, walked out slowly.

"There is something delayed on the road, but you are tired of waiting for a long time."

Wei Chen looked at the officials of Mi County and said with a smile: "This official came along the road, but I saw that the people in Mi County followed the times, and the seedlings in the fields were flourishing, which shows that Sun Zhi County is effectively governed." ”

Wei Chen's words made Sun Zhuo's face light up in front of his subordinates, and Sun Zhuo also unconsciously straightened his waist.

However, Sun Zhuo can go from a person to the position of knowing the county, and he can be regarded as an old official, so naturally he will not be praised by Wei Chen and he doesn't know what his surname is, and he is still silently speculating about Wei Chen's intentions in his heart.

Zheng Yin official should not leave the place of Yinxin, Wei Chen, as the governor of Yuzhou, generally speaking, if there is anything to order, it is good to say something, and there is no need to go out in person.

Now that Wei Chen has deigned to inspect Mi County, there must be something important.

In Sun Zhuo's mind, Wei Chen was mostly here to inspect and educate.

Since last year, Weichen has made great efforts to promote the establishment of voluntary schools, and called on the squires of various counties to donate money to run schools.

Of course, the state government will also buy school land for Yixue to support the teachers and students of Yixue.

Although Mi County is a poor county, with the vigorous subsidy of the state government, seven or eight primary schools have been set up in the past six months, accommodating more than 100 students, which can be regarded as some achievements.

Sun Zhuo thought that Wei Chen was here for this matter, after all, the chief officials of the place have always liked to inspect schools, firstly, they can get close to scholars and accept talents, and secondly, this is also a political achievement.

It's just that, to Sun Zhuo's surprise, Wei Chen didn't go to inspect the newly built school, and he didn't even enter the city gate.

After greeting with a group of officials in Mi County, Wei Chen, Zhao Ceying, and Gu Tingye changed horses, took their entourage and guards, and went to the Yellow River to inspect the river work.

Far away from the Yellow River, you can hear the rumbling sound of water, the Yellow River embankment as high as several zhang is like a long dragon, traversing from the west, all the way to the east, which is amazing.

Looking at the surging Yellow River, Gu Tingye couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "A bowl of water, half a bowl of sand, no wonder the embankment is raised every year!" ”

"I've heard that someone in the Daimyo Prefecture invented a Junchuan rake that can loosen the mud and sand and let the water carry it into the sea, but I don't know if it can be used."

Zhao Ceying looked at Wei Chen on the side when he spoke, expecting him to give him an answer.

After this period of getting along, Zhao Ceying has become more and more respectful of his teacher, and no matter what doubts he has, he seems to be able to get a satisfactory answer from the teacher.

"Junchuan rake?" Wei Chen was a little puzzled when he heard this, he didn't have any concept of this thing.

Seeing this, Zhao Ceying immediately asked people to take pen and paper, brushed and drew a sketch for Wei Chen to see, and explained to Wei Chen the principle of this Junchuan rake.

It turns out that the so-called Junchuan rake is to install wooden teeth on the giant wood, make a large wooden rake, press it into the bottom of the water with a boulder, and then connect it to the winch of the big ship, so that it can swing back and forth at the bottom of the river to achieve the purpose of dredging the riverbed.

Wei Chen figured out the principle of the Junchuan rake, and immediately shook his head, asserting: "This thing is useless!" ”

"Why?"

Gu Tingye asked in surprise.

He also heard Zhao Ceying's description of the Junchuan rake just now, and felt that it was very reasonable, but he didn't understand why Wei Chen would say that this thing was not good.

"This is the fate of the wood to ask for fish!"

Wei Chen explained in a deep voice: "If the sediment is loosened today, it can be silted again tomorrow, even if it is implemented every day, it is not comparable to the speed of sediment siltation in the river, it is just a waste of labor." ”

Gu Tingye and Zhao Ceying suddenly realized after hearing this, and then couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

I thought that the dredging of the river was a good way to dredge the river, but the result was still not good, could it be that the Yellow River was allowed to flood as always?

Seeing the dejected appearance of the two, Wei Chen couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he had heard too much about the story of the Yellow River in his previous life, and he could also roughly talk about those effective plans.

The fifth question of the original test was river work, and Wei Chen basically wrote all the strategies he knew about river control.

It's a pity that this exam paper was shelved after the exam, and no one will really take the above content seriously.

Wei Chen was also quite depressed about this.

Now that Weichen is in charge, he can finally take matters into practice and put into practice these river control strategies that have been on paper.
