The snow on Zhuque Street is as thick as in previous years, but unlike in previous years, there is a special "sanitation department" in Chang'an City today, which is subordinate to the Jinwu Yamen, and the sanitation workers are quite meticulous because they are often influenced by the Wei Zheng Mansion on the diagonal side of the Yamen......

The sanitation workers in Chang'an City, who have been in Zhenguan for 14 years, have brought a little bit of "urban management" attributes.

"These cedars are alive."

Twenty-four-year-old Li Chengqian was in the carriage, holding a stove and looking through the window glass at the green trees planted on both sides of Suzaku Street, and was a little surprised.

In addition to cedar, Huashan pine, Chinese pine, poplar, and ginkgo biloba are also planted, but especially cedar is the most, mainly the emperor likes. Outside the city, there are mostly metasequoias, because the trunk grows up, it is used to make furniture, which can be used to make waterwheels, keels, utensils and consumables, and car and horse accessories, which is more than enough.

"But what do you need the old man to bring for you?"

The eldest grandson Wuji leaned on the carriage, without raising his eyebrows, and was not very interested in seeing the households on both sides of the street methodically lighting stoves.

"To say hello is, to have fellowship with Dalang, just by thinking."

Li Chengqian was much calmer, and he no longer thought about whether Emperor Laozi was going to abolish him. In the past few years, he has not dared and never told outsiders, in fact, his thoughts about the "royal family" have faded a lot, let alone the "throne". It's just that King Mabin told him that he "can't help himself", so he let the two shifts of the East Palace push him away, and as for how far he can go, he actually doesn't care anymore.

He should have cared about it, but he never expected that when he saw that things had changed greatly between heaven and earth, it would be out of control.

"It would be nice to be the deposed ambassador of Gangnam Province once."

He didn't say this, especially in front of this uncle.

For Li Chengqian, a warm man, the great success of the eight-ox plough Quyuan plough has a kind of great realization that "it is okay to die at the end of the day", which is the joy that his emperor Lao Tzu praised him for how he "became old and serious" and "sought the country" could not obtain.

He hopes to "get the way" more than to "get the position".

Seeing the absent-minded appearance of the prince's nephew, the eldest grandson Wuji did not get angry, but said rarely: "If you have any doubts in Beijing, you can ask Ma Zhou about everything, if you don't decide...... Let's go to Wei Zheng's mansion to visit. ”

"Huh?"

Li Chengqian was stunned, but the carriage had already left the city gate.

This time he went out on a business trip, and it was rare for the eldest grandson Wuji to see him off without a boss, but his life was not easy at the moment, and this time the "business trip" also had the meaning of "punishment".

It's just out of the idea of "waste" utilization, let the eldest grandson Wuji investigate the affairs of Chuzhou by the way, and see if it is like what Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, said, can transplant the governance method of Chuzhou to Ezhou.

Bashui took a boat to Lantian and then traveled to Lantian Pass by land, and then turned to Danshui to go south, which was to take a boat all the way to Xiangyang. Zaifu's guard of honor will not be shabby, not to mention, this trip is also sent off by the prince.

Hanshui will not be frozen in winter, and even if it is frozen, it is still a few years. This year's Hanshui tributaries are mostly a layer and a half of ice shell, which is not as thick as the three-foot ice in the north.

"This Xiangyang City has some old-time weather."

The city in front of him is the city in the impression of the eldest grandson Wuji. The former Sui was like this, the Wude Year was like this, the inside and outside of the city were clearly distinguished, the peddlers and pawns were rickety, and the dignitaries and nobles were arrogant. In the eyes, the sewage of the workshop is cross-flowing and debris is everywhere, and the ridges and ditches in the fields are not neat, but the boundaries are extremely clear......

Even a few years ago, he still loved this kind of indisputable scene. Only now, I think that this workshop is really tired, and it needs to be trained; There is no planning for the acres of land, but more than 100 acres of land have been collected by one family, and 10,000 acres of land have not created 500 people? Ten thousand acres of land, with twenty or thirty people serving, is a big waste.

He thought again, if the extra 400 people go to the workshop in half, it must be profitable, and it will return to the capital that year. The rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled are raised, and there may be a few prodigies......

A fierce gust of cold wind from the south, which was so cold that it suddenly made the old yin a spirit, and his face became extremely ugly.

Xiangyang City didn't stay for two days, so he followed the Han River and rushed to Chuzhou.

After Fuzhou and into Chuzhou, Pei Xingjian, the county commander of Xianchuan County, had already sent people to wait, but where did he know that the eldest grandson Wuji took people directly to the shore at his place, and called it a "secret visit".

"There is a twelve-year-old reservoir here, I never thought it would be so big."

A group of people walked on the embankment of the reservoir, the "small islands" in the distance are the "peaks" of the original valley low hills, and the reservoir is an artificial lake, and the traces of the original human existence can be seen in the lake. It's about a rich family, and he actually put a stone statue at the door, and there is a wall, which is also made of stones, and the wind and waves are calm at the moment, and he can see it clearly.

"Because of this reservoir in Xianchuan County, more than 200,000 acres of land are not to mention, and the fangs have gone down the mountain one after another, but it is also a lot of gains."

"The acres of land here are also very different from other places, not 'well fields', but 'round fields'."

"Most of the eight-oxen plows used are 'round fields', and there must be large estates."

"There is a workshop area near the river in front, windmills are lined up, very different, I heard that it is the handwriting of Linzhangshan schoolchildren."

"Zhang Liangfeng's creation of French style is unparalleled in the world."

As the group walked and looked, they only felt that although the field was wide and a little lonely like Xiangyang, it was extremely well maintained at a glance, and even at the inlet of the irrigation canal, you could see the erected signs. There is a special agricultural official handwriting lettering, about the plan of Zhenguan's fourteenth year of spring ploughing.

"There is a green feed tower over there, it should be raised livestock, depending on the scale, I'm afraid it's not a lot."

"Now it's only about the number of stocks, and Jia's regulations are really easy to use."

"Oh? It's actually a Henan cattle, this is a good breed of cattle, and it can have a thousand catties. Walking in the mountains is also very convenient, Hedong Hetao uses this cattle more, and the meat quality is not bad. But now there is a new scalper, it is said that in the Eastern Capital, I don't know when it will be implemented. ”

"The smell...... Well, I guess it's making dried milk. I didn't expect to produce milk. ”

As attachés, the young officials of Zhongshu Province naturally cannot be unskilled, and because of the preferences of the governors, most of the new officials in Zhongshu Province today are people who are influenced by "Wang Xue".

Tick –

A quick whistle sounded, and I saw the workshop area ahead, in a dormitory shed divided by a wall, a series of workers of all kinds ran or walked out. Some of them are not very neatly dressed, but they are all gathered at the gate of the wall. Then they automatically lined up and stood there, admonished by the foreman.

The foremen seemed to be shouting something, and soon, the dark-skinned workers listened without saying a word, and then with another rapid whistle, different queues followed different foremen to different workshops.

This was originally a very ordinary scene, but for the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest son of Zhongshu Ling, who had gone through the Great War of the Sui Dynasty and fought for hegemony, this scene really made him tremble.

"Ling Gong, but the weather is colder?"

"It doesn't matter."

The eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand, and then said, "Go and meet the county commander of Xuanchuan." ”

Pei Xingjian was also surprised when he saw the eldest grandson Wuji, why his face was so bad, but he still stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "I've seen Ziweiling." ”

"Keep the contract, in the Xianchuan Workshop, Han Fang is a fellow worker, but it's rare."

"It's not unusual, and it's mostly like this in the Chuzhou Workshop."

"Isn't it true that Han Fang is not fighting?"

"Working all day long, miserable, how can I have any strength to fight for the long and short. On the contrary, it is a lot closer, mostly with the same hatred, and often fights with other peers, which is a headache. ”

Hearing Pei Xingjian's words, the eldest grandson Wuji was speechless for a while.
