The county river embankment burst, and the flood roared out, affecting hundreds of people in a radius at once

It was originally a rich and fertile land, but before the national rebellion, it was a densely populated and agriculturally developed area. Later, the war was raging, and the people either died or fled for their lives, leaving a small part of the population to hide in the remote highlands and hills in the distance under the leadership of a certain people's commander, and survived with difficulty.

The river has overflowed more than a dozen times, turning this fertile field into a land of mud and sand. Fortunately, the river only went eastward, destroying only part of the fields downstream and leaving some of the living fields.

After the northern province took over the Central Plains, many people returned to their hometowns from the fortress and the south, and got their own permanent fields and taxed fields on the original cultivated land. Rather than go to a strange place to reclaim new fields, they would rather return to their hometown, which has haunted their dreams for generations.

The embankment was rebuilt, the fields were divided, and the farm tools, cattle and horses were distributed to each household. Two years have passed, and there is hope for this day, who knew that there would be such a big flood this year. Perhaps God is compensating for the lack of rain a few years ago, but this summer it was a torrential downpour that affected most counties such as Qin and Yongzhou. Flash floods and floods occurred everywhere, and finally converged on the Yellow River. The Yellow River carries much more sediment than in previous years, all the way eastward. Sizhou, Yanzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou are all in an emergency. When the river arrives, it slows down, and the sediment accumulates, posing a greater threat to the already dangerous banks of the river.

Fortunately, as soon as Beifu recovered the Central Plains, it began to rectify the Yellow River, and a large amount of silver was allocated. The army and the people mobilized together to rebuild the river embankment. In addition to the River Bureau, various localities also attach great importance to river work under the strict orders of Chang'an.

This flood season is the largest in decades, and naturally officials in various localities have paid great attention to it, and all of them have been put on embankments to fight the flood, and the results of the past few years have been strictly guaranteed. It was easy to wait until the rainy season in the middle and upper reaches passed, and I thought that this flood season would be over, but Fan County broke down.

The embankment is broken in the middle of a small river. The river breached the breach. A big bend to the west. It then flows back to its original yellow pan. And there were four villages in this big bend, which disappeared in the flood all at once, and more than 1,400 people escaped, and less than 500 people, including the young people who went up the embankment. More than 1,000 people died in this way in the midst of the people's grief and weeping.

Although this incident was not the most serious disaster since the establishment of the North Prefecture, it was a disaster with great impact. After the flood season, the State Government Newspaper. The "Minbao", as well as the nearby "Jizhou Political Daily", "Yuzhou Political Daily", and "Qingzhou Political Daily" reported on this incident one after another, and the military and civilians discussed it one after another, and the spearhead was pointed directly at the local officials in the area.

Although Cui Yuan, the chief official of Fan County, has thrown himself into the river with guilt and atoned for his crimes, this responsibility must continue to be investigated. Fan County Lieutenant, Dong'e County Order. Even the Dongping County Guard, who commanded the plugging of the gap, was investigated. See if there is any involvement.

Presiding over the investigation was Song Yan, a county prosecutor from the Dongping County Prosecutor's Office. In June, just after the flood season, Song Yan invited a few people from Yuzhou and Sizhou who were familiar with the main books of river construction sites and the master books of household cao, and began to investigate the accounts of river workers and river embankments in Fanxian County.

I checked it for half a month. Song Yan found that the accounts of the river workers in Fan County were clear and clear, a piece of wood and a stone, a migrant worker and a car and horse, all listed on the accounts one by one. Moreover, these materials and wages are real prices, and there is no deliberate inflated and false report at all.

On the embankment, Song Yan asked the transferred master of Zhicao to open a few small openings at the mouth of the beach to see the situation in the embankment. Song Yan found that it was completely made in accordance with the standards and requirements of the Ministry of Governance and the River Bureau, all of which were genuine, and he didn't dare to be sloppy at all.

Song Yan asked the county magistrates, Xuezheng, county officials, Cao chief bookkeepers, and officials of Fan County one by one, and these officials shed tears and praised Cui Yuan when they talked about it; When it comes to the mouth of the beach, the mouth is broken, but the god is indignant, and God has no eyes. Song Yan visited the people in Fanxian County again, but learned that the people had an excellent reputation for this county order, and their political achievements were laid out one by one, building roads, repairing bridges, restoring cultivated land, and managing river embankments and water conservancy. Often at the end, I have to add: "God has no eyes, and he has harmed Cui County's order." ”

More than a month has passed, and there has been no progress in the investigation of the embankment, but Song Yan has investigated the dead Cui Yuanzhen, as stated in the county and state evaluations in previous years, and is a rare Qing official and capable official. Then the breach of this beach mouth can only be said to be providential.

This conclusion slowly spread in the nearby states and counties, and many officials could only sigh secretly. However, Guan Fei, the county guard of Yangping County, breathed a long sigh of relief with his henchmen Pei Kui, Wang Lan and others, and finally let go of his heart that had been hanging for two months. After hearing the news, Cao Jiafan, the county governor Cao Dianshi, Chen Xiao, the county household, Bo Zhanghe, and others, knew the news, and they were even more overjoyed, and quietly held a banquet to celebrate.

When Cui Li, the clerk of the River Bureau, heard the news, he actually extorted a huge amount of money from Guan Fei, and then took the courtesan to Rongyang, and returned to Chang'an after the river affairs were busy in the autumn.

But they didn't expect that the things they did would be discovered little by little.

The first is Song Yan, when he was investigating the embankment at the mouth of the beach, he vaguely heard the surviving people talking about it, saying that the breach of the embankment was not providential but man-made. Song Yan checked it carefully and knew it from the mouths of the people. The place where the beach mouth breaks is very weird and strange. It did not break on the east side of the meander, on the side of the flood, but on the west side, but on the side of the flood peak. And this break was very sudden, half an hour ago, the migrant workers had just inspected and did not find anything abnormal, but it suddenly broke down.

On this day, Song Yan occasionally heard a common man who had been on the river embankment say that before the breach, he met Wang Si and Pan Shishi. The two of them didn't know what to do on the embankment, and when they saw them walking by, they became flustered and talked in a hurry. But the man was in a hurry to go to the berm, so he didn't care, and who knew that a quarter of an hour later, he saw the breach at the mouth of the beach.

Another citizen added that Wang Si and Pan Shishi were well-known ruffians in the township. In the past, when he was at the barrier, he bullied the weak and did evil. Later, when I returned to my hometown, I didn't know how to farm after dividing the fertile land, but I was just idle, eating and drinking. They are lazy, they don't go to the people to earn wages on weekdays, and even pretend to be disabled to avoid the militia's recruitment, and the county lieutenant also knows the virtue of the two. I am also afraid that the two of them will affect the military discipline of the militia. simply ignore these two.

A few days before the flood season of the Yellow River. These two people still haven't signed up for the Minfu, and they are still wandering around, ready to do something to steal chickens and dogs, how could they suddenly run to the river embankment, it is naturally doubtful. And these two people often went to the county seat during this time, eating meat and drinking, and they didn't know where they got rich.

Hear here. The chief secretary of Fan County felt that there must be something wrong with this. He said that this year's flood is very large, and it has exceeded the red mark by half a meter. In this case, if the embankment is touched a little, it will be completely destroyed immediately.

When Song Yan heard this,

After the arrest documents, the Fan County Patrol Police Department secretly arrested Wang Si and Pan Shishi, knowing that these two ruffians could destroy the river embankment for no reason? There must be black hands in the back.

Wang Si and Pan Shishi didn't admit it at the beginning, but just said that the money was picked up by the river, and at most it was a bad money and didn't report it.

Song Yan found the people to testify against the two of them. Then he asked him what the two of them were doing on the embankment? Finally, the two of them threatened. According to the current evidence and indications, if the two do not recruit, the judicial office will judge the two as the masterminds of the decision. Not only will they be beheaded and treated like only criminals with great crimes, but their families will also be in vain, and they will be slaves for life.

Speaking of this, Song Yan deliberately and easily explained to Wang Si and Pan Shishi the classification of the death penalty in Beifu and how to carry it out. There are only two types of death penalty in Beifu, one is hanging, and most of the condemned prisoners enjoy this kind of whole corpse treatment. The other is the bloody and incomplete corpse, that is, beheading. And there are two kinds of beheading, the first is beheading, one knife down, the body is in a different place. Only those who commit the most heinous crimes, such as treason and defection to the enemy, invasion and cruelty of the people, rebellion and murder of relatives (murder of parents and elders), rape of underage girls, and human trafficking will be sentenced to abandon the city. Among them, the most egregious circumstances can be sentenced to beheading.

Speaking of this, Song Yan said coldly: "More than a thousand lives, even if you are cut in half ten times, it is not enough." Then the executioner will use his skill to break you in two and still gasp for breath on the ground. I wonder if you are illiterate? If you were literate, you could have dipped your blood in the ground and write how you felt at that moment. I don't know if it's a tragic word? Or is it a pain word? ”

Hearing this, the two of them were sweating and trembling up and down. And Wang Si was the first to collapse, crawling there and crying: "It's all Pan Shi, greedy for other people's money and silver, so this is what pulled me." My lord, Lord Qingtian, I am just an accomplice, I still have a wife and children at home, please let me be sent lightly. ”

Seeing Wang Si's move, Pan Shishi couldn't hold on, and finally confessed.

According to the two men, they were lured by a mysterious man with a heavy amount of money, and according to his instructions, they found a dangerous place on the embankment of the beach mouth, and then waited for the opportunity to loosen several of the large stones with a short knife, and soon the water flowed through the cracks. At that time, the two regretted it a little and wanted to make amends. But the water was so strong that a little gap gave it an opportunity. The river quickly washed away the boulders loosening more and more, and in a short time the water swept away, first a small opening, then a large opening, and finally the mouth of the beach broke.

Hearing this, the officials who were watching rushed up and almost beat the two to death, but fortunately they were protected by Song Yan and others.

Wang and Pan saw that the crowd was so turbulent, and they knew that they had sinned too much, and they became more and more honest, so what did they say.

But the two really don't know who the mysterious person is, and what is the purpose of instigating themselves to break the embankment? In the end, Pan Shishi recalled a detail, saying that the mysterious man wore hemp shoes unique to Yangping County on the north bank, and he had bought a pair when he went to Yangping County to wander before.

And the master of Zhicao added that this mysterious person was either a person who was familiar with the river work, or he was also instructed by a master, otherwise how could he let Wang Pan and the others go straight to the key point of the river embankment.

Song Yan thought about it for a while, then took a few attachés disguised as businessmen and quietly came to Dongyangwu County, Yangping County, Hebei. They secretly walked around the river embankment, and the old river worker, who was born in the place of governor, saw the problem at a glance.

"The embankment in Dongyangwu County is too bad, not to mention the embankment in other parts of our Fan County, but compared with the embankment at the mouth of the beach, it is also a golden soup. One is okara. If you don't decide here, you will decide Fan County, which is really unreasonable. ”

As soon as Song Yan heard this, he understood a thing or two, and continued to investigate in depth.

A few days later, an attaché heard from a clerk of the county government that there was a person similar to the mysterious person, the distant nephew of Pei Kui, the county magistrate of Dongyang Wu County, and his personal entourage. It's a pity that this person "unfortunately fell into the water" and died when he followed Pei Kui to inspect the river embankment during the flood season. Now it has been reported for bereavement benefits.

The attachés suddenly became excited. The real murderer finally showed his face. So he demanded that Pei Kui be arrested immediately and the case should be clarified. But Song Yan waved his hand to stop him, and he asked, "The river work in Dongyangwu County is so obvious, doesn't Yangping County know about it?" Didn't Cui Li, who patrolled this section of the river, know? There's something inside to this! ”

So Song Yan immediately sent a secret report to the Chang'an General Procuratorate, and the chief prosecutor was startled after reading it, and did not dare to delay, and hurriedly submitted it to Xu Qi, the servant of the Ministry of Law.

Xu Qi took a look. The hair stood up in anger, this Dongyangwu County order was too bold, and this Yangping County and the River Bureau were not involved.

Xu Jiao found Wang Meng, the state affairs of Pingzhang, and after discussing it, the two immediately decided to authorize Song Yan to continue to investigate the case, and sent officials who were proficient in business such as the Ministry of Administration and the Ministry of Household Affairs to cooperate with him to investigate and review the case. With the order, the relevant personnel immediately took the clipper ship of the river defense fleet and secretly went east. Straight down to Dongyangwu County.

And another discovery of the incident is that the Metropolitan Procuratorate inspected the Jizhou Imperial Shi Yutian. He heard from his own channels that Yangping County Shou Guan Fei and Dongyang Wu County Ling Pei Kui were corrupt and derelict in their duties. Moreover, there is collusion with the inspection officials sent by the river bureau, such as Wailang Cui Li. But the specific details are not clear to Yu Tian, and there is not much evidence at hand. However, he guessed that this must be related to the Fanxian Verdict case, so he directly handed over the document report to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The time to send it to Chang'an was about the same as Song Yan.

The province of Zhongshu received the documents, and the engineering department and the household department suddenly became lively, and it was able to suppress the province of Shangshu and show that its authority has always been what the province of Zhongshu wanted to do. They have long seen that Shangshuxing, who holds the administrative power, is not pleasing to the eye, and they have long wanted to exercise the power of impeachment. But this involves a matter of money, so Che Yin informed Mao Muzhi, and the relevant people in the two provinces just met and immediately hit it off. The province of Zhongshu is out of the imperial history, and the province of the door is out of the auditor, and it must be checked in Yangping County and even Jizhou, so that the places and people in the north also know that the province of Zhongshu and the province of the door are not mud bodhisattvas in the temple, and they are used as decorations.

However, the two provinces could not believe in Shangshu Province, so they did not notify the pavilion, but also found the river defense fleet, prepared two fast boats, and secretly went east with the investigation team of Shangshu Province.

The arrival of the two investigation teams caught Guan Fei and others off guard.

However, relatively speaking, Song Yan's investigation of the case is much more professional. As soon as he arrived in Yangping County after receiving the order, he first summoned all the procurators of Jizhou and Yangping County, and secretly mobilized the patrol police of Wei County. Then immediately issue an arrest letter, which was issued like snowflakes, and Guan Fei and Pei Kui, together with the officials of the county guard yamen and the officials of the county order yamen, were all under their guard, and they were not allowed to collude or leave without permission. Then began to check the accounts, conduct field surveys, and search the house.

The investigation teams of the two provinces took advantage of the authority of the province to first seal the account books of Yangping County and all the subordinate counties, and all the officials of the household Cao were suspended from their posts pending investigation.

Just as the case was proceeding in an orderly manner, the "Yanzhou Political Daily" exposed the big news, revealing that the breach at the beach mouth in Fan County may have been deliberately broken by Dongyang Wu County in order to keep his river embankment from collapsing

Embankment. If the north embankment does not collapse, why did it collapse on the south embankment? Does this flood also know the way? and faintly pointed out that a distant nephew who had "died in the line of duty" of the Dongyang Wu County Order was the executor of the errands.

This news was revealed by the master of Fan County Zhicao, who followed Song Yan to Hebei and knew some inside things, even because Shangguan Cui Yuan was unhappy, so he violated the "discipline" and exposed the information to the "State Political Daily".

Newspapers and periodicals such as the Yanzhou Political Newspaper and the Kanto Business Daily, which have already smelled the smell, are looking around for news. After receiving such a big news, wouldn't you be overjoyed and immediately typeset and published.

As soon as the news was reported, it immediately caused an uproar, and everywhere was boiling. The people of Fan County, who had a good impression of Cui Yuan, spontaneously gathered in Dongping County and petitioned the county prosecutor's office. And the students of Chinese culture poured into Shangshu Province, blocking Wang Meng and other provincial officials in the pavilion.

Under this pressure, Song Yan and others accelerated the review process. The case was not complicated, and it was quickly clarified. Guan Fei, Pei Hui and others also confessed their "criminal facts" one by one, and handed over a total of more than 50,000 silver yuan in their greedy money. It also led to a large number of officials involved in the case, such as Cao, the governor of the Jizhou Assassin's Mansion and the Yangping County Procuratorate.

In September, the case was transferred to the Jinan County Judicial Office in Qingzhou for trial.

On 16 September, the trial judge sentenced as follows: Wang Si, Pan Shishi, the former Yangping County Shou Guan Fei, the former Dongyangwu County Commander Pei Kui, and the former Yangping County Commander Wang Lan were the main offenders. The family members of Heishui County, Pingzhou, were enslaved by the garrison army for life.

Nineteen people, including Jia Fan, the former Yangping County Hu Cao Dian Shi, the former Yangping County Zhi Cao Dian Shi Chen Liao, the former Dongyang Wu County Hu Cao Chief, and the former River Affairs Bureau Wailang Cui Li, were accomplices, and several crimes were one. They were all sentenced to death by hanging. Family members of Yining County, Tuxi Prefecture. Garrisoned as a slave for thirty years.

Former Yangping County Prosecutor Husband. Thirty-nine people, including Cao Yanshi Liu Rui, who was the governor of the former Jizhou Assassin Mansion, sat for dereliction of duty and sentenced the family to Qinghai County, Qiang Prefecture, and was assigned to garrison the garrison as a slave for 20 years.

There are even hundreds of officials who have been implicated, and they have been derelict in their duties, and the verdicts are inconsistent.

Eleven people, including Lang Zhonghao, the former director of the River Affairs Bureau, Yuan Fangping, the assassin of Jizhou, and Zhang Ke, the prosecutor of Jizhou Prefecture, were derelict in their duties. Sentence of dismissal.

Seeing the verdict, the people applauded, and the newspapers and periodicals also warmly praised it, but the "Jizhou Political Daily" said a little sourly: "The judge of Jinan County made a judgment in Licheng, and more than ten officials above the sixth grade in Jizhou went, and hundreds of officials above the ninth grade went to Jizhou. It is the law that is like a furnace, and the rulers and the people, high and low, are a piece of iron in the furnace. ”

The joint investigation team of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province handed over the evidence found to prosecutor Song Yan. He returned to Chang'an. Each submitted a report to the province to which it belonged.

According to this report, the Zhongshu Province "invited" Wang Meng, Pu, Zhang Shou and all the thirteen subordinate servants to Xiantai, and questioned Wang Meng's face. And his subordinate "Thirteen King Kongs" stood next to him, his face as gray as gray. However, Pu and Zhang Shou were thick-skinned enough, and someone was thundering on them anyway, so they stood aside expressionlessly. In the end, in front of Wang Meng and the "Thirteen King Kongs", all of them passed a "case of negligence and demerit", and asked the general to reprimand and punish the entire Shangshu Province.

Before Wang Meng and the others could react, the province of Menxia also came to invite them over. Another questioning made Wang Meng and Qian Fugui turn pale and gray. Especially Qian Fugui, he is scolding his mother in his heart, who am I recruiting to provoke whom? It's easy to get through this year's "autumn plan", and there is such a thing, and next year's "spring plan" I must not be peeled off a layer of skin by these Fengyilang. Well, I'll go back and find trouble with the states and counties.

In the end, in front of Wang Meng and others, the Ministry of Men and the Province reviewed the "case of negligence and demerit" of the Zhongshu Province, and unanimously agreed to immediately submit it to the general.

On this day, Wang Meng, Pu and Zhang Shou, three provincial officials of Shangshuxing, accompanied Che Yin, Mao Muzhi and others to meet Zeng Hua to review the incident.

Wang Meng stood up first and reviewed himself.

After listening to this, Zeng Hua said calmly: "Mr. Jingluo, don't blame yourself too much. There are corrupt officials in all dynasties and generations, and if I don't have them in Beifu, then there is really a problem. ”

"My only concern is how to find out about corrupt officials and what they have committed. Prosecutor Song Yan investigated carefully because of his duties; The inspection of the imperial history is because he is disgusted with Guan Fei and others, it is better to say that he is out of the sense of honor of the officials of the Northern Mansion, and hates these black sheep; "Yanzhou Political Daily" is out of justice and justice, so it is only with public opinion and public opinion that the case is intervened. Zeng Hua said with his fingers wrenched.

"Duty, honor, justice, I'm glad all three have worked." Zeng Hua sighed, "Since ancient times, it has always been a disaster made by nature and man. We must not only prevent natural disasters, but also treat man-made disasters! ”

"But I still feel a little regretful, that is, in this case, it was all led by the prosecutors of the Ministry of Justice, and the Zhongshu Province and the Menxia Province just cooperated and followed. Fortunately, Prosecutor Song is a solemn and strict person, but if he was like the two prosecutors in Yangping County, would this case still be solved so easily? Zeng Hua suddenly changed his words.

Hearing this, everyone has their own feelings. Wang Meng and other Shangshu Provincial officials secretly complained in their hearts, Zhongshu Provincial and Menxia Provincial have already tossed themselves enough, does the general still want to increase the authority of these two official offices? But Che Yin and Mao Muzhi secretly rejoiced in their hearts.

"Zhongshu Province should think carefully about how to supervise various places, this Shangshu Province is right under your noses, and you are not afraid of tricks. It's the states and counties. Take more care and strengthen your surveillance. Zeng Hua said.

"Yes, the Great General, I will go back and consult with the courtiers to see if we can establish a law and set up councils in the states to exercise the power of supervision. We already know that relying on the Metropolitan Procuratorate alone is still lacking. Che Yin replied.

"How to do it is a matter of your Chinese book and local affairs, and I will not interfere." Zeng Hua replied with a smile. Since the establishment of the three provinces of North Province. Zeng Hua basically did not interfere in the affairs of the three provinces. In addition to approving the draft laws of the land transferred from the lower provinces. I spent more time in national studies and the Privy Council, and I was more concerned about military affairs and exchanges with students and bachelors of Chinese studies. But no one dared to despise the supreme ruler of the Northern Province.

"And your subordinate province this time, you have played too little role in this case. Your lands are all elected by each county, and you have your own ears and eyes in each place. Mr. Wusheng, you want them to communicate more with their own territories and learn more about local people's affairs and political affairs. I think those two Feng Yilang who were elected from Yangping County are also responsible, such a big thing. As locals, they didn't hear any message? And your Audit Office, don't always keep an eye on Chang'an, but also separate ways to audit. This case is not complicated, if your Audit Office had put more effort into the local area, it would have been found out a long time ago. ”

Mao Muzhi's face became solemn, and then he continued: "General Yu, it is my dereliction of duty in the lower province. When I go back, I will definitely convey the words of the great general, and ask them first

These two Feng Lang. Impeachment will be carried out depending on the situation. Then we refine the audit, set up auditors, and separate patrol audits so that we can also verify the measurement reports of the ministries and the states. ”

Mao Muzhi knew that this was Zeng Hua making himself under the provincial authority to expand his authority. How can you not answer quickly?

After saying this, Zeng Huadi's face became gloomy, and he took the case file and said: "Our Beifu can't tolerate these corrupt officials and evil officials, we can kill as many as we want!" ”

Zeng Hua paused, softened his murderous tone and said, "I know that you are all upright and strict kings, and you will not tolerate these corrupt officials, so I am not worried that you will bend the law for personal gain because of this." But will all the officials in the world be as strict and law-abiding as the kings? And our successors, can they be like us? So we have to legislate not only for the world, but also for future generations. ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but become solemn, and they all lowered their heads and pondered there, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn.

||

Zeng Hua knew Pu's thoughts, picked up a book and said: "I'm reading "Hu Kaoyuan", which was examined by Mr. Ling Ze (Xun Xian) under the leadership of the bachelors of the National History Department of Yongzhou University. ”

"It seems that the general and Mr. Ling Ze, Fengxing (Hao Long) and other gentlemen get along very well." Park said with a smile. After Xun Xian retired from the post of former governor of the political affairs, he joined Yongzhou University as a teacher, and a group of Jiangzuo came to the place famous scholars and literati, on the basis of the original metaphysics to integrate Confucianism, and even new thoughts, and created a new school, this school is also people-oriented, but more emphasis on going with the flow, teaching the law of nature, and governing for the sake of incurability. It is very different from the original Xinxue in Beifu, and it is much more conservative and moderate than the Hao Long and Luo Youdi schools. Therefore, the new school called Xun Xian's school a conservative school, but Xun Xian and others called Hao Long and Luo You's school a radical school.

After Xun Xian took charge of Yongzhou University, it became the academic center of the conservative school, fighting against Chang'an University led by Hao Long. Therefore, Yongzhou University has twice as many students as Chang'an University, which seems to have an advantage, but Chang'an University is the number one Chinese culture in Beifu, and the number one bachelor and bachelor's degree in it is twice as many as that of Yongzhou University, plus most of the colleges in Xicheng are separated from Chang'an University, which can be regarded as its branches.

However, everyone knows that the radicals are good at economics and science and engineering, good at governing the country and financial management, and good at manufacturing, while conservatives are good at national history and literature, good at poetry and songs, and good at historical research.

"These scholars are all great talents of the country. Taking this river disaster as an example, the scholars of Luban College and Yongzhou University proposed the method of building embankments and clearing canals along the former Han Dynasty King Xuzhou (Wang Jing), discussing the topography, digging mountains, breaking achievements, cutting ditches and streams, preventing and curbing rushes, and dredging accumulation. Ten miles to set up a water gate, so that more note, there is no danger of collapse and leakage. Mr. Jing Luo, you should ask these scholars for advice. ”

Speaking of this, Zeng Hua suddenly thought that when he was spitting on a website before, he saw an article reposted by a netizen, saying that a water conservancy expert in the Eastern Han Dynasty had no major floods after hundreds of years after controlling the Yellow River, it was none other than this Mr. Wang Jing. However, some netizens said that this was not Wang Jing's own effort, but due to the weak control of the Central Plains over the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River after the Eastern Han Dynasty, which caused the boundary between agriculture and animal husbandry to move to the east and south. When the Northern Wei Dynasty regained control of these areas, it began to develop agriculture, causing the dividing line between agriculture and animal husbandry to move to the west and north, so from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, floods were frequent.

It seems that this makes some sense, and Zeng Hua also knows that the floods after the Tang Dynasty have a lot to do with the extreme development of Guanzhong. Now that Beifu has been developing Guanlong for the past ten years, it is estimated that it will not be worse than the Tang Dynasty. Zeng Hua somewhat understood the danger of the Yellow River flood and the way to cure it, environmental protection. This is a concept that is too advanced, and it is more "unreliable" than many things I am doing now. It seems that I have to think more.

Zeng Hua thought for a while, and when he saw that everyone was waiting for him, he smiled, and said with an excuse: "Just mentioned the bachelor's degree of the university, I suddenly remembered Yuan Fangping. It's a pity, originally he took over Baishan as the assassin of Jizhou, and it was the time to show his ambitions, but he was implicated in the Yangping case, and he was negligent in his duties, which is a pity. However, this power of justice is not to be desplened, and according to the law, no one who is convicted by the Judge Office shall be allowed to hold any more office, whether he is guilty of a crime or a joint sitting. ”

"Originally, I was still feeling guilty about how to face Mr. Yan, but now I think that Fang Ping would better go to the university as a bachelor, he inherited Mr. Yan's knowledge, and there is no problem in teaching the history and literature of the country. After a few more years of training, it is not impossible to serve as a teacher of a certain national culture. At that time, I was also worthy of Mr. Yan's spirit in the sky. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement. Yuan Fangping is Yuan Qiao's son, and Zeng Hua admired Yuan Qiao very much, and after his death, he did everything possible to take his son Yuan Fangping to Chang'an and focus on training. Yuan Fangping is also competitive, excellent political performance, more than ten years to rise from the fourth grade, served as Jizhou Assassin History, it is estimated that in two more years may be moved to Shangshu Province, it is the future of the time but was implicated by Yangping County, was sentenced to a joint negligence.

The judge of Jinan County was appointed by the Zhengqing and Shaoqing of Dali Temple to authorize the trial of the case. Except for Dali Temple, no one can overturn its verdict. And now the approval and deliberation of Dali Temple has come out, and the original verdict is upheld. Then Shangshu Province must officially remove Yuan Fangping from the post of Jizhou assassin. Sitting on the crime and seizing the post is a punishment, and the punished person will no longer be allowed to hold an official position, which means that Yuan Fangping's career is over.

In this way, the only way to follow Zeng Hua's idea is to take the road of a bachelor. Everyone knows that Yuan Fangping is talented, so I don't worry about whether he can be qualified for the position of bachelor. In a few years, Yuan Fangping, as Zeng Hua said, will serve as a teacher in a certain country, which can be regarded as another kind of merit. You must know that even if it is a doctor, a straight bachelor, a bachelor, and a bachelor, it is also a respected identity, and when it comes to the teaching of Chinese culture, it is the world's great celebrity, which is the highest pursuit of every literati. Because the teaching of Chinese culture is not only appointed by the department, but also recommended by the scholars of various countries.
