Du Zhongxiao listened to the words of the embroidered young man, and almost didn't squirt out a sip of wine. Make your own car, for the benefit of the court and the people, how can you become a dog official. The Yellow River, which runs from Baibo to Sanmen, is one of the most dangerous sections of the Yellow River for navigation, with its cramped course and hard granite bed. The three islands of gods, ghosts, and people in the river divide the river into three streams, which are called the gate of gods, ghosts, and people. The ghost gate in the south is turbulent, and there is no way to sail. The god gate in the middle is so narrow that it can't even accommodate a boat. But the gate on the north side is for boats.

Although it is possible to ship a boat, the water is too fast, and when it goes downstream, the boat is often destroyed and people die, which is regarded as a daunting way. Swimming against the current, a large number of slender men must be used. And this section of the river is on both sides of the cliffs, there is no place for the slender man to stay, only the mountain to open the road, the slender man on the plank road to pull the boat. It was difficult to pull the fiber, and the water flow was too fast, so the boat was destroyed and people died if there was a slight accident. The loss of shipping in this section of the Yellow River is staggering, with at least 30% of the ships destroyed in the river.

Since the Northwest War, in order to transport grain and grass to the Shaanxi Road, a canal has been manually dug in the south, and the shipping conditions have improved for a while. However, due to the high cement and sand content of the Yellow River, the canal was silted up within a few years, and people could only continue to walk through the door.

No matter how difficult the shipping conditions are, Sanmen Baibo is also the lowest-cost way to transport materials to Shaanxi. There are no more than 10,000 slender men who served in this period. Compared with the Bianhe River, the conditions are even more difficult.

The carts on Hedong Road became popular, and the Sanmen Baibo Dispatch Envoy soon went up to renovate the road on the south bank of the Yellow River, use the carts to transport goods, and abandon this section of the transport. The imperial court bought mules and horses on Hedong Road, prepared a thousand carts, and opened the road last autumn. When the road was built, the original slender man and boatman were useless, and they faced the same situation as the slender man of Bianhe.

Listening to the indignant words of the three people on the table next to him, Du Zhongxiao couldn't help but think of the story of the machine smashing the machine at the beginning of the industrial revolution in Europe. The current slender man making trouble can be said to be a copy of the East. I just can't remember if anyone picked up the rails when the rails of the train were just laid on this ancient land in history.

The slender men cannot be blamed for their ignorance, because they do face the problem of livelihood due to the use of cars, boats and carts. Zhongshu and the Privy Council, after there is no need to pull fiber, I am afraid that they will not spend money and food on them in vain. These people are not forbidden troops with knives and guns, and the greatest possibility is that their military titles will be demoted and their money and food will be reduced. As they said, just like when they were in Bianjing for the winter, they only spent Lu rice and deducted money.

While drinking, the three of them discussed their future fate, and the more they talked, the more bleak they felt.

One said: "Spring is coming, and the Bianhe River is about to freeze." I knew that we didn't need to pull the fiber this year, but I didn't see the official list and arranged for us to come and go. Wouldn't it be so worrying to ignore us like this! ”

The embroidered young man said: "Brother, can't you guess the thoughts of those dog officials?" Surely when the ice melts, let's go back to the place where we pulled the fiber. Although those dog officials don't care whether we live or die, they care about their official robes. Dealing with us in the capital, a bad one will get up, and they can't eat and walk around. When we got to the place, we were scattered, and we weren't left to them! ”

Hearing this, the other two nodded yes. That's a good point, when Mrs. Xian was in the capital, the government kept delaying it, and it must have been such an idea. When I arrived at the place and left the capital, it was not arbitrary.

Breaking through this, the three of them spoke cautiously, lowered their voices and whispered, not knowing what to say.

Du Zhongxiao drank wine and ate meat, called the little maid to settle the account, got up and walked out of the shop.

Although he was scolded as a dog official, Du Zhongxiao had no intention of embarrassing these three people. They are facing real difficulties, what's wrong with scolding two sentences, no one is a clay man. Of course, he and Han Jiang are right, the times always have to move forward. If you want to blame, you can only blame the relevant officials, and you don't think about how to solve the problem, it's just a procrastination trick and you want to fool things over.

This kind of thing, if it touches other people's food and clothing, how can it be delayed? If it drags on for a while, it can't be delayed for a lifetime, and something will eventually happen later. At that time, I was afraid that something would really happen, and in the end, the hat was buckled on my and Han Jiang's heads, and I would die unjustly.

Thinking of this, Du Zhongxiao smiled. Now that it's happened, why not fix it? In the past few days, I have been worried about the imperial court to exchange literature for martial arts. Wouldn't it be good if you took the initiative to ask for help and continue to be a civil official?

The more you think about it, the more so. Back at the inn, Du Zhongxiao immediately wrote a letter about the difficulties faced by the slender man and the crises that might arise if the imperial court did not deal with them properly. Finally, it is suggested that the slender men who have been cut down from various places should be placed in the surrounding idle fields and reclaimed for wasteland.

There are several roads around, Jingdong Road and Hebei Road are densely populated, it is a prosperous place, and there are not many idle fields. Shaanxi Road Guanzhong area is the same, and the surrounding mountains are not suitable for reclamation. Only Jingxi Road and part of Lianghuai have a large amount of wasteland due to historical reasons. Of course, there is Jinghu Road to the south, which has not yet been developed at this time, and it is also a good place to open up wasteland.

To resettle such a large population, the most suitable is to take Tangzhou and Dengzhou as the center, with the Nanyang Basin as the main area, and Xiangyang as well. This area has fertile land, excellent climatic conditions, and a long history of development, and is traditionally an agricultural developed area. It's just that due to the war in the late Tang Dynasty, the land was abandoned, the population fled, and a large number of no-man's lands appeared.

In order to avoid further misunderstandings, Du Zhongxiao recommended himself again and originally intended to do this. No matter what the name, it won't be as a military attache anyway. Even if the minister of the imperial court presides over it, it is better to assist from the side.

As a librarian, I have the advantage of being able to express my opinions on political affairs casually. Unlike other ministers, who talk too much, maybe a big hat that oversteps their duties will be buttoned down.

After waiting for a day, on the day of the last dynasty, Du Zhongxiao sent his own piece of music and waited with peace of mind.

The chapters are handled by the Tongjin Yintai Division, and not all of them will be sent to the palace, and some will be sent directly to the relevant yamen. It's going to be sent to the palace, and I don't know how much time it will take. After being sent in, there are also female officials in Shangshu introspection, not all of whom are not necessarily seen by the emperor.

However, Du Zhongxiaoxin made meritorious contributions in Beizhou City, the two governments attached great importance to it, the emperor cared, and the chapter did not stagnate, so he first went to the political affairs hall, and then came to the case of Emperor Zhao Zhen.

The next day, when he didn't go to court, the minister of the ruling court discussed the matter, and Du Zhongxiao's recital was raised.

A few years ago, Zhang Yaozuo returned to Beijing to replace Ming Hao, and the right to know Kaifeng Mansion saw the Du Zhongxiao recital handed down by Zhao Zhen, and praised Wat: "Your Majesty, what Du Bachelor said is true. Since the year later, the news that the Bianhe River was going to cut off the slender man spread out, and the slender man who was resting in Beijing for the winter did not stop making trouble. They heard that the car and boat were made by Han Jiang, the governor of the government, and they were blocking his door every day, and they were going to cause trouble. In order to prevent accidents, Han Jiang has been resting at home for more than a month, and he does not go to the house to see things. In order to prevent these slender men from causing trouble, Kaifeng Mansion spent countless efforts. ”

Chen Zhizhong said: "This matter is true. There are more than 20,000 slender men in Beijing, and once the trouble breaks out, it will be more troublesome than the rebellion of Wang Ze in Beizhou. In order to prevent accidents, the list has not been unveiled and dismissed. Just waiting for the Bianhe River to subside, these people returned to the station, and then calmly thought of a way. ”
