Lin Yanchao had just been promoted to the prefect, and the situation was not stable, and Sun Chengzong's departure at this time was a big change for Lin Yanchao's behind-the-scenes personnel.

Because the officials below the government are used to dealing with Lin Yanchao through Sun Chengzong, Lin Yanchao is also used to using Sun Chengzong to give orders to the subordinates of the government office.

As the chief master of the prefect, Sun Chengzong has a lot of power, but when he acts, he deals with it impartially, but he does not have the slightest intention of wielding power, which is very admired by everyone.

And now that the young Tao Wangling and Yuan Keli have been replaced, everyone has no bottom in their hearts.

The importance of the master is self-evident.

The first thing the county magistrate did when he took office was to invite the master, and the master had at least two people, one of whom was the main criminal name, and the other was the main Qian Gu.

Generally speaking, the master of the criminal name is the chief of the county.

Because of the criminal name, Qian Gu is the two major events of the county, and these two things are related to the promotion and disgrace of the county.

Generally, the county magistrate will invite the experienced master Qian Gu and the criminal master, if these two are not effective, the magistrate will be blind in governing the place, not only into cumbersome affairs, but also easy to be deceived and deceived by cunning officials.

However, if the official position is bigger, then for the official, the criminal name and the money valley will decline more and more, because these two items are gradually not so important for the promotion of officials.

Especially at the level of the feudal lord, the most important master is Master Zhangzhang and Master Shuqi.

The master of the chapter is specially drafted for the governor to draft the chapter for the Son of Heaven. If a piece of music is well written and appreciated by the Son of Heaven, then the governor of Qingyun can wait, if the chapter is not well written, it is easy to be reprimanded by the Son of Heaven and even lose his office.

For example, Zeng Guofan wrote a recital to the Son of Heaven back then, and the Hunan army had been suffering defeat at that time. However, Zeng Guofan listened to the advice of his staff and changed the repeated defeats in the recital to repeated defeats, and the meaning of the recital was different all of a sudden.

So a few words can save an official's career.

Therefore, as a master of the chapter, although such a position is scarce, once you are hired, not to mention how you are treated, as the governor of the shogunate, the governor must also be polite and respectful to you, which can be described as courtesy.

Under Master Zhang, there is Master Shuqi. Master Shuqi is responsible for the exchange of official documents.

The official document is called the detailed text, the parallel is called the shutdown, and the downward is called the ticket. These must be written by the master. Officialdom communication is heavy on words, and most of the bosses, colleagues, and subordinates are also dealt with through official correspondence.

A good master of the book must not only be good at taking care of things for the master, but the most important thing is to be able to figure out the mind of the master.

In the past, when Lin Yanchao was in charge of the river, he would not set up a criminal name master if he was not in charge of the criminal name.

Sun Chengzong served as the master of Shuqi, in charge of the signing room and the official seal. The big and small things in the department, Sun Chengzong handled it in an orderly manner.

Now that Sun Chengzong has left office, Lin Yanchao has let Yuan Keli take charge of Shuqi and Tao Wangling take charge of the official seal.

It is intended to let the two discuss after the incident, and if the two disagree, they will report to Lin Yanchao for adjudication. Such a distribution, of course, sacrifices efficiency, but guarantees certainty.

Therefore, Yuan Keli is like a scholar of the first assistant cabinet. Tao Wangling's palm print is equivalent to the approval of the celebrant supervisor.

As for the counterpart under the signing room, it is the six rooms of the government, which is like the six departments of the imperial court, and the seven counties and one state in the palace are like two capitals and thirteen divisions.

From small states and counties to large imperial courts, the operation of power is almost the same. The difference is only that the division of labor in the imperial court is more detailed, and the power is more checks and balances.

was promoted from Tongzhi to prefect, plus Sun Chengzong left.

In a word, the stall is big and the manpower is small, so Lin Yanchao deeply feels that there is a lack of talent under the scenes, and it is time to invite a few capable subordinates.

Staff are no better than protégés, and when people come to help you do things, they have to give money or give them a future.

The prefect is the fourth grade, and the monthly salary is twenty-four stones, which is much higher than the eighteen stones of the same knowledge.

But it is definitely not possible to raise a curtain with this money, even if the prefect himself does not eat or drink, but this money will not be able to invite the 'famous curtain'.

These 'famous curtains' say a few dozen taels a month, and if the governor asks for one or two hundred taels, there are also them.

Of course, Lin Yanchao is not unfamous, but he doesn't want these people who have been practicing officialdom for a long time to enter the scene, which will ruin the atmosphere in his scene.

Now Lin Yanchao recruited his staff and asked Tao Wangling, Yuan Keli and his protégés to release news and recommend people he was familiar with.

Lin Yanchao made it clear the conditions for recruiting staff, but anyone with a skill, no matter what his background, can enter the curtain to do things.

But the first person to recommend to Lin Yanchao was not his protégé, but Huang Yue, who had experience in the government and was in charge of river workers.

Huang Yue recommended to Lin Yanchao an old friend, a native of Tongcheng, Anhui Province, named Zuo Chuying, who has a skill in river engineering and water conservancy.

On this day, this person rushed from Tongcheng to Guide, and Lin Yanchao saw this person in the Mansion Flower Hall at the moment.

Lin Yanchao saw that Zuo Chuying was wearing a washed white green shirt, her cheeks were thin, and she looked a little depressed, and when she saw Lin Yanchao, she immediately bent down. He was carrying a boy of eleven or twelve, but this boy was bold and had no fear in his eyes.

But after seeing Lin Yanchao take a seat, Zuo Chuying bowed down and said, "The villain Zuo Chuying has seen Lord Futai." ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Mr. Zuo, please sit down and serve tea." ”

After serving tea, Lin Yanchao asked, "I don't know where Mr. Zuo came from?" ”

Zuo Chuying said worriedly: "The villain is a civilian, he has studied in a private school for five years, and he has not obtained fame, but I heard my old friend Huang Yue say that adults recruit staff here, regardless of their background, anyone with a skill can come, so the villain came here." ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and said with a smile: "That's true, Mr. Zuo, please take a seat, who is this child?" ”

"It's the dog, the dog is alone in Tongcheng's hometown, and the villain is not at ease, so he carries it with him, so that the lord of Futai laughs."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "I see, but Ling Lang is not small, can't he get along without Mr." ”

Zuo Chuying was a little embarrassed when she heard this, but saw her son replied loudly: "The lord of Futai is honored, it's not that I can't leave my father, but the saint has clouds, my parents are here, and I don't travel far." Therefore, my father asked me to be by his side to be filial piety at all times. ”

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and looked at the child again and said, "That's good." Ling Lang is really extraordinary. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Yanchao said to Zuo Chuying: "Huangfujing said that you have a skill, I don't know if you have something to teach me?" ”

Zuo Chuying didn't dare to say a word, and then said: "I heard that the master of Futai wants to repair the Jialu River, and I have a strategy to achieve the effect of one thing and two merits." ”

"Please."

Zuo Chuying said: "The old road of the Jialu River starts from Yifeng, the Huanglinggang between the city, it was originally one of the three positive flows of the Yellow River to the east, and later the big river seized the Jialu River to cause harm, silting it up, and then the north of the Huanglinggang, flooding the road, moving 300 miles a year, and moving 300 miles north after three years, which is extremely harmful. Now, although the breach is blocked, so that the Yellow River returns to the normal flow, but after the Jialu River is silted, the water of the Yellow River here does not pass through the Jianghuai. ”

Lin Yanchao was slightly impatient, and said immediately: "What Mr. Zuo said is already known to the government, and you say something that the government does not know." ”

Zuo Chuying lowered his head and said: "Therefore, the imperial court has three advantages to dredge the old river of the Jialu River, one is to divide the river potential and solve the trouble of the north embankment. The second is to dredge the river, once the Jialu River is dredged, from Jianghuai to Kaifeng, and then to the Yellow River, the waterway is smooth, the trade route is open, and the people are rich. The third is that the Jialu River is passed, which can divert river water to irrigate farmland and reap the benefits of silt fields. ”

Lin Yanchao heard this: "The first two benefits you said, ordinary people have said many times, as for the third point, Mr. Zuo may not know, this government repairs the Yellow River embankment, and opens thousands of acres of silt fields between the embankments and remote embankments, and the people get the benefits, and the government has been doing what you said for a long time." ”

Zuo Chuying said: "Of course, the villain has heard of what Futai has done, but there are three deficiencies in the silt in the embankment and then the silt field is cultivated. ”

Siding fields is a political achievement that Lin Yanchao is proud of, but when he heard Zuo Chuying say this, his face sank. Then Lin Yanchao said: "You go on." ”

Zuo Chuying saw that Lin Yanchao's face was ugly, so she hesitated and continued: "Master Futai atons for his sins, and Zuo is also telling the truth. If the river level changes, the embankment is not strong, then even in the non-flood season, the silt field will be inundated. The silt in the second embankment can only be cultivated for half a year, if the flood season changes, it is easy to have no harvest. The siltation in the three embankments is not a small risk to the people who farm. ”

Lin Yanchao reprimanded: "The government you said has long known it, and has already taken precautions, if the people lose the silt field, the government can compensate the original price of the silt field." ”

"In addition, as long as the prevention is done properly, no one will have an accident."

Zuo Chuying couldn't help but tremble, and his son on the side saw this and said: "I implore Futai to let my father finish speaking." ”

Lin Yanchao also felt that he was a little too much, Zuo Zhuying and his son saw Lin Yanchao rubbing the tea cup, in case he picked up the tea bowl, Zuo Zhuying failed to apply.

But Lin Yanchao said: "Mr. Zuo continues." ”

Zuo Chuying said: "The villain just thinks that the silting inside the embankment is not as good as the silting outside the embankment." ”

"Silting outside the embankment?" Lin Yanchao shook his head and said, "The risk is too great, the dikes must be opened or culverts must be set up to fall outside the embankment, so there must be hidden dangers in the embankment, in case the water is a big burst and breaches, how is it good?" ”

That's right, silting outside the embankment is definitely better than silting inside the embankment.

At present, people use the method of silting up outside the embankment to control the Yellow River, but with modern science and technology, they do not make an opening in the embankment, but use the method of pumping water to fall into the embankment.

Zuo Chuying said: "The villain has a strategy to solve this crisis." ”

Lin Yanchao was surprised: "Mr. Zuo, please speak." ”

Zuo Chuying said: "It is indeed a lot of risk to fall silt on the back of the embankment, but once it is done, the effect is also great, and the villain thinks that he can use the method of the moon embankment." ”

"The method of the moon embankment is to build another embankment behind the embankment at the slow part of the river, and divert the river water to irrigate it, and after the matter is completed, the land in the moon embankment is silted fields."

Lin Yanchao paced, this moon embankment is also one of Pan Ji's propositions for taming the river.

At that time, it was built on the section of the embankment where the water was dangerous, and another embankment was built after the embankment. Or where there is a danger in the river situation, for example, there are several pipe surges on the back of the embankment that cannot be blocked, then simply abandon this section of the embankment, build another section of the embankment behind it, and then put the water in.

Lin Yanchao's face eased and said: "But this move is too labor-intensive, so what do you mean, put the strategy of the moon embankment on the Xiujialu River." ”

"Also, the old Jialu River is a tributary of the Yellow River, and the water potential is not turbulent. However, it is still necessary to be cautious, no one knows how big the water potential is after the Jialu River is dredged, and if the embankment bursts, it will be a disadvantage. ”

Lin Yanchao has already recognized Zuo Chuying's ability here, thinking that he is qualified to enter his own curtain to control the water.

But Zuo Chuying continued: "Master Futai misunderstood, if the moon embankment is only used for silting, it is not surprising, and the villain does not dare to come to see the mansion, this moon embankment strategy can also have the effect of dredging the river." ”

"Oh, how do you say?" Lin Yanchao became interested.

But see Zuo Chuying said: "The old method of dredging the silt river is too slow, and the effect is not obvious. Therefore, the villain thinks that he can dig a diversion river on the side of the normal stream. ”

"This diversion river is like a moon embankment, when the river water crosses the diversion river, after the main flow of water is dry, the main flow is blocked, and the civil servants go down the river, dig out the silt of the positive flow, and build an embankment. The soil between the main flow of the river is a natural silt field. ”

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but slap the table when he heard this: "This is a wonderful method, why didn't I think of it!" ”

In order to cut off the normal flow of the Three Gorges dam, a diversion river was dug on the side first, and then the main flow was cut off and the embankment was repaired.

Dredging the Jialu River is also the same for the general effect, but now the Jialu River has been silted up very badly, and it is not difficult to cut off the normal flow.

Zuo Guangying was also overjoyed when he saw that his idea was appreciated by Lin Yanchao, and then said: "The master of Futai praised it falsely, and the villain is just a thousand thoughts." ”

"And this method also has drawbacks, that is, the labor cost is too large, the villain calculates, if it is only to dredge the two hundred miles of the old river of the Jialu River, then 100,000 taels of flowers should be enough, but if this method is used to dredge the river, not to mention how much manpower is mobilized, even the silver will cost several times."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's easy to discuss the matter of silver." ”

Zuo Chuying didn't know that Lin Yanchao just lacked a good way, but there was no shortage of money, but the purpose description was a little troublesome. When Fu Zhiyuan first took office, he saw that the treasury could run horses, and he almost turned his face with Lin Yanchao.

But this is in the past, now Lin Yanchao is the main hall of the house, how to spend money, just spend money, no one in the house dares to say anything.

Lin Yanchao said to Zuo Chuying at the moment: "In the future, I will bother Mr. Zuo to do things under Lin's curtain, how much do you want?" ”

This is just to invite someone.

Zuo Chuying's face was full of surprise, and he said in fear: "The master of Futai doesn't dare to be it, the villain is just a grass people, and it is a blessing to be able to do things under the curtain of adults, as for the pavilion valley, it is naturally what the master of Futai said, as long as it can support our father and son." ”

At this time, his son said loudly: "Dad, Han Xin has clouds, the more the merrier." ”

Zuo Chuying's heart tightened, but when she saw Lin Yanchao laughing, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"The dog is ignorant, and I hope that the master of Futai will forgive me."

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "Where, Ling Lang is really interesting to speak, since this is the case, it will be five taels of silver per month, and another month will be added at the end of the year. ”

Zuo Zhuying was overjoyed when he heard this, although this kind of pavilion valley is not as famous as the scene, but for him as a fledgling person who has never worked in other people's staff, it is already too high.

What's more, Lin Yanchao is still from a background.

Exemption from military service is a school background, which can be solved by entering the country, and being an official is to serve as an official.

As for being an official, it is probably a miscellaneous official, which is already a cross-class for an ordinary person who has not passed the imperial examination.

You must know that Huang Yue is still a talented person, and now he is just a government experience.

Zuo Chuying was surprised and delighted: "Master Futai, no, Dong Weng, it's too much, this ...... I don't dare to take it seriously. ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "It's okay, just treat it as if it's for Ling Lang." I see that Ling Lang's eyes are bright, he is not a thing in the pool in the future, ask him a good teacher, don't bury him. ”

Zuo Chuying couldn't help but be grateful when she heard this, and immediately pulled her son to bow down and said, "Come, Guangdou kneels down and kowtows to the old man of Futai." ”

After speaking, the young man bowed respectfully to Lin Yanchao.

However, when the young man raised his head, he saw Lin Yanchao's face full of surprise.

Lin Yanchao turned to Zuo Ying and asked, "Eh, what's Ling Lang's name?" ”

Zuo Chuying didn't think so much, but replied: "Xiao'er was born when he was ugly, and Shi Xiaoyue was out of the Beidou, so he was called Guangdou." ”

Lin Yanchao praised when he heard this: "Good name, the moon shines on the Beidou, the dawn of Douhui will be a common word in the future." ”

As soon as Lin Yanchao said this, Zuo Chuying's father and son were stunned.

Zuo Chuying immediately said to his son: "Guangdou, don't thank you for the words from Futai." ”

After speaking, Zuo Chuying glanced at his son, pulled his sleeve in his hand and stomped on the ground with his foot.

In the past, giving words was something that only teachers could do.

Hearing this, Zuo Guangdou glanced at Lin Yanchao, and then bowed respectfully and said: "Guangdou has long admired the name of Futai, and he also wants to be a great leader in the world one day, so I implore him to worship in Futai as a teacher." ”

Lin Yanchao was ashamed, he was a little too eager to make a move, and his appearance was a little ugly, it was really not something that his reputation and status did at the moment.

But again, Lin Yanchao will still do this.

At that moment, Lin Yanchao helped Zuo Guangdou up.

Zuo Chuying said gratefully: "Meng Dong Weng has blue eyes, Zuo really doesn't know how to repay it." ”

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "You are doing things under my curtain, so you don't need to be so outside." ”

After speaking, Lin Yanchao looked at Zuo Guangdou, and then said: "When you enter the teacher's door, the teacher will tell them one sentence, read a hundred books, and become a family." This is the foundation of learning, you remember. ”

Zuo Guangdou said respectfully: "Sir, is this statement the same as what the sage said, my way is consistent, and it is the same?" ”

Zuo Chuying immediately scolded: "Light Dou, don't talk too much." ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and said: "No matter how others tell you, it's only one of the hundred schools, even if you are a teacher, what you think is what it is." ”

Zuo Guangdou's eyes shone brightly, and he said happily: "Thank you, teacher, disciple remembered." ”

Then Lin Yanchao said to Zuo Chuying: "I haven't studied the scriptures for a long time, and I am entangled in the case, I am afraid that I will not be able to teach Ling Lang his homework in person." In this way, you will live in the mansion together, and I will ask a famous teacher to teach Ling Lang the lessons, and after two or three years, I will personally teach Ling Lang the practice of the exercises. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zuo Chuying's father and son were very moved.

Lin Yanchao nodded, in addition to being the boss of Donglin in history, Zuo Guangdou was also a capable minister of water control.
