Chapter 24: Happiness
"Envoy, the black-faced old man who took the Huainan people everywhere, went to Fangang Town again, and looked at the coal transportation dock there."
Fangang Town is Fankou, Guan Yu guarded Jingzhou at the end of the Han Dynasty, and he had troops here. There is a lake on the side, named Fan Lake, and the origin of the name of Fankou is self-evident.
At this time, Liangzi Lake had not yet taken shape, and Fan Lake and Liangzi Lake more than a thousand years later had not yet completely become one, and were dotted into a large number of narrow water surfaces by a large number of tidal flats, swamps and sandbanks.
In Zhang De's memory, the area of high-quality rice cultivated land in the Liangzi Lake area is close to one million mu. This does not include more than 300,000 acres of cultivated land for aquatic crops, as well as a large number of red soil and vegetable fields. Of course, at present, there is not even a shadow of Liangzi Lake, and the arable land area is only 150,000 mu on Ezhou's books.
If you want to develop Ezhou, the first thing is to control the water, followed by immigration.
Water control is a general concept, and in practice, the first thing is to protect the Yangtze River embankment, and then the tidal water backflow of the tributary dams and the lake mouth gates; The second is ponds, dams, reservoirs and the like.
However, the Sui and Tang dynasties were quite high-quality dynasties, and although they had experienced the opposition and division of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Jingchu region had been maintained and invested for more than a hundred years against Yunmengze and the Yangtze River. This is not counting the investment in water conservancy facilities in the two Han Dynasty and the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty and the pre-Qin era of the Chu State.
Jingchu's agricultural value output is greater than input, and at this time, as for when there will be a big outbreak, it is not something that Zhang De can control.
Perhaps, as in history, after the burp of the Tang Dynasty, the latecomers will be able to enjoy benefits. But maybe Lao Zhang's toss will allow future generations to enjoy the benefits.
"That old man is going to take care of him, and don't tease him, this is an open-mouthed old man, and his temper is up, I'm afraid he will bite people."
Lao Zhang was not happy when he heard the staff talk about a black-faced old man who came to observe with Huainan people.
"Envoy, but the old man asked around for news. He also brought someone to say that he wanted the official of Wuchang County to quit his errand and go to Jianghuai with him. ”
"Fuck! Wei Zheng, this old thing! Dig people to Lao Tzu's head! ”
As soon as he heard the staff say that the black-faced old man was digging the foot of the wall, Lao Zhang was immediately furious, he was the only one who dug others, but he didn't expect to fight geese all year round, and he really met a shameless person who dared to dig in turn.
“……”
The staff was suddenly stunned for a while, and then blinked, "Envoy, envoy." Fang, Fang just said Wei ...... Wei Zheng, yes...... Is that Wei Zheng? ”
"Which other Wei Zheng? The predecessor of Zaifu Wei Xuancheng, the old man who made a mirror for the emperor! ”
Lao Zhang shook his robe, and then said, "Someone!" Change my regular clothes! ”
crossed his waist and walked back and forth impatiently: "This old thing, let him come to Jianghan for inspection, it can be regarded as giving face." Fuck me back to play this set! Straight, upright, upright, your mother, upright! ”
was scolding his mother, but a black-faced old man in Wuchang County invited a voter to dinner: "You ...... All graduated from Linzhangshan? ”
"Back to Mr. Hui's words, several of us graduated from Linzhangshan. Those who graduated in thirteen years, I am older, these are less than eighteen, but the days of study are almost the same. ”
"It's only three or four years old, and you have this kind of computing power, if it's in this Jingchu wilderness, it's really a waste. I won't hide it from you, the old man is in Jianghuai, he has a bit of face, and he can talk to Wei Xuancheng, the general manager of Huainan Province. If a few are interested, they can go to Yangzhou with the old man, and they dare not say that they will seek a half-official position in the provincial government, but if they want to get a way out in Jiangkou, it is not a problem. ”
Several young officials suddenly had some thoughts, Jianghan is not as good as Huaiyang, not to mention, Huainan Province is a new one, and unlike the Changsun General System, Huainan Province has more power. Because the new Wei general system is going to Jianghuai to be an official, which is different from the eldest grandson general system.
"Well, you don't have to decide right away. You can go back and think about it for a few days, the old man will stay in Wuchang County recently, so he lives in this guest house. If you are interested, you can inform the old man with him, and when the old man learns about it, he will go to look for you. ”
The black-faced old man said sincerely, personable and quite elegant, looking at his very good speech, he just knows a talent, a few young officials, and suddenly likes to chat with such old-timers.
"Thank you for your generosity, let's go back and talk to our families and reply."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say......"
The two sides parted, and the black-faced old man whiskered and said to the left and right: "Nowadays, the officials are divided into several grades, and the best one is from the Dahe Workshop; the next best Jingxi Lecture Hall; Again, it is the disciple of Linzhang Mountain and Shicheng Wang. These accountants are proficient in abacus and arithmetic, and their accounts are very good, if they are used in Jianghuai, no matter how cunning those old officials are, they will not be able to escape the number of explanations. This is a talent. ”
"The general system, we have been observing the construction site for a while, could it be that we are in Huainan, and we have to act like this?"
"Water control always has to be treated, the old man in Beijing heard the people of the water supervisor talk about it, there is a low-lying place west of the South Canal, if it is flooded, it will be a Zeguo. At first, I didn't think it was anything, but if the Yellow River breached, it would be a hell on earth, irreparable. Therefore, over the years, several water envoys have been the first to focus on the Yellow River, the Huai River again, and finally the river water. ”
was chatting, but heard a commotion, far away, west of Wuchang County, there was a vote of knights roaring.
The knight took the lead, and a black horse was placed in his crotch, and the black-faced old man looked at it, and suddenly said: "This black wind fell into the hands of this guy, and it was really buried." ”
"The general system, it's Zhang Jianghan who has arrived."
Syllable.
Zhang De turned over and dismounted, the horsewhip in his hand rolled into a circle, and he entered the guest house with the horsewhip in his hand. A few guards at the door were about to stop them, but they saw Zhang De shouting: "Get out." Lao Tzu is looking for that old thing to comment! ”
Behind him, a group of giants separated the guards. Then the guards on both sides were stunned, mother, acquaintance.
"Chun Yu Erlang, why did you come to Wuchang?"
"Guo Dalang, why did you come here?"
"I'm on an errand in Hanyang right now, aren't you in the East Palace? How did you get to this place? ”
"Zuo Siyu is an idler, and he made some money and released it."
"Alas, I have a few brothers, who work in Zuo Qingdao, are like wasted people now, where can they have any future. It is said that the East Palace is easy to be on an errand, easy is relaxed, there is no oil and water at all, and if you want to fight for a face, there is no way. It's good to come out, it's good to come out. ”
The guards were all greetings, Lao Zhang rushed to the second floor of this guest house, and when he saw the black-faced old man, he was immediately furious: "Zheng Guogong, how do I treat your Wei Shuyu and Wei Sanlang?!" ”
This kind of thing can be done by digging people's corners, but it can't be known.
Rao is Wei Zheng's face was dark, and his old face was slightly hot, but he still said with a straight face: "Zhang Caozhi, since you are friendly with Dalang Sanlang, you are even more like a brother, and you should also see the old man as a nephew." How can you be so reckless?! ”
"It's good to take a bite first, it's really worthy of Zheng Guogong."
Lao Zhang threw the horsewhip on the table, sat opposite Wei Zheng with his ass, and said angrily, "Why are you the one who came to dig me?" Don't you want to spoil me! ”
"What's the matter with you?"
Dig into the corners of imperialism! Could it be that Lao Tzu would say that?
The corner of the old mouth twitched: "Of course it's loyal to the monarch, patriotic and loyal to everything, isn't this a big deal?" ”
"Well said! The old man really didn't misunderstand you Zhang Caozhi. The old man is also here to share his worries. However, there is a lack of talents who are proficient in arithmetic, so I will borrow a few envoys first. ”
"Borrow?!"
Did Lao Tzu borrow your daughter?
"Is there no one in Chang'an? Is there no one in Luoyang? The person who came to Jianghan to dig me? ”
"What is yours and mine, inside and outside the court, the old man is also considered to be an official in the same dynasty as you, why bother to divide each other?"
"Hey......"
Ouch, what you said makes so much sense, why don't you blow this with the one in Taiji Palace? You've got you covered!
However, Wei Zheng also knew that if he wanted to get people from Zhang De's side, he couldn't do it without some blood. Originally, Jiang Han was also thinking about playing two shots with or without dates, what if Yide didn't pay attention?
Now that he is being caught, it is naturally the second set of radio gymnastics on the road, Wei Zheng then said: "The old man and you are ministers of the same court, since you say that you do not distinguish each other, you will naturally lend a helping hand when you encounter difficulties." ”
"Oh? When will Zheng Guogong, who is upright, still do this? ”
Lao Zhang doesn't buy it, who won't say beautiful words?
"There are many hidden households in Huainan Province, you go out of the household registration, and the old man can approve the naturalization of Jianghan by all hidden households."
Wei Xuancheng, who was as immobile as a mountain, said a rather risky thing, this matter came out, and it was not good that the emperor would cut off some people's heads.
Of course, since it is a risk, there must also be benefits, such as the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Household Affairs have a good book, the local GDP has increased, and the people's sense of happiness has swelled.
No matter how many ways you use it, I only want to ask: Are you happy?
In an instant, Lao Zhang's body was shocked, and he stretched out his two index fingers suddenly, pushed the corners of his mouth, and revealed an incomparably bright smile: "Oh, Zheng Guogong came from afar, and the little nephew has never seen the courtesy." Zheng Guogong, polite. ”
