Zhao Yuanwai was about to leave, Wang Ju said again: "By the way, you must remember, continue to treat them differently, and pass on another sentence to some people, if someone says that the official is good, then don't take it seriously, and if someone says that the official is bad, don't take it seriously." However, there is one thing, the official will keep his promise. As long as they don't ask too much, don't make trouble, and make some concessions, the official will immediately give them a satisfactory explanation. ”

"That's good, that's good."

"Well, I'll send you a secret account book later." As he spoke, Wang Ju took out a thick account book from it.

In fact, after so many days, Wang Ju basically figured out the land production of the major surrounding households.

Although this number jù is not very standard, the error will not exceed 10%.

Wang Ju also made an account book and wrote it down, that is, the thick account book in Wang Ju's hand. And continued to send some more people to secretly review it again.

"It says that I may end up giving the number of acres per household, but it's also my bottom line."

This is also to be treated differently, the households that express their loyalty to Wang Ju will be in the name of compensation, and they will eventually get more land. Some people who did not express their support or opposition are often small and medium-sized landlords in the countryside, and they are also anxious, but their strength is small, so they can only be anxious, but Wang Ju will also give some compensation, and will not let them suffer too much. In fact, these people also hide their fields, and the landlords who do not hide their fields can hardly be found at all. But even if they hid, they didn't hide much, and at the same time, the arable land in their hands was limited.

is still muttering, and if he is dissatisfied, Wang Juna will not be polite. The upcoming "General Battle" is the battle between Wang Ju and these people.

Zhao Yuanwai said: "Can I flip through it? ”

"Flip it, it's for you."

Zhao Yuan turned it out. I looked at a few acres of fields that were familiar with the main households. How many hidden fields are there for these people. He knows the root of the matter better, and after looking at it, after "compensation", he has basically made up for it nine times out of ten, and some people may not have checked it well, and almost all of it has been made up.

It's just that it can't be made up, and the difference won't be much, and it can basically be explained to the past.

He closed the book. said: "Then I will be relieved." ”

After all, Wang Ju's attitude is very tough, even if Zhao Yuanwai has no bottom in his heart.

"But this book, you just know it in your heart, and don't show it to anyone else. Even when making a promise on behalf of the official, it must be ambiguous, otherwise the word will go out, and the few will make trouble, and even the more will follow behind and make noise. ”

"I know the weight of this."

"So be it."

"But Ming Gong doesn't go into the city to live, and everyone is still not at ease."

"I can't live in the city. Living here, you can handle the plumbers nearby. On the contrary, the official felt convenient. Besides, with the number of acres promised in this account book, what else is there to worry about? ”

"Okay."

Zhao Yuanwai left, and Wang Ju went to the drain again.

The main canal is only one mile away, and the construction crowds on both sides can see each other from a distance.

After more than a day of labor, the two main canals were finally connected.

In an instant, almost all the sergeants and civilians cheered, and some of them happily turned their heels.

Wang Ju also happily shook Yang Pan's hand, although Yang Pan didn't know the meaning of the handshake.

Of course, no water has been brought in.

This must wait for all the relevant branch canals to be repaired before the head of the canal can be opened and water can be released. But then the real battle will also begin.

Wang Ju said: "Yang Gou, in this way, you will bring everyone to Xiao Zhengquan again." ”

Yang Pan nodded.

This section of the main canal has been repaired. This time, the support of the imperial court was very strong, and more than 30,000 people were sent by the sergeants alone, and Zhao Ji's inner treasury could not open the pot, and there was no shortage of grain, grass and materials for the canal workers, as well as gunpowder...... Coupled with Wang Ju's leadership, everyone was motivated, so the canal workers built faster than they budgeted.

But it's just the first paragraph, and the second paragraph, and the third paragraph.

After the first section of the main canal is repaired, it will be transferred to the second section of the battlefield.

After the final branch canal was repaired, the labor was transferred to the head of the canal, and the first section of the canal was successful.

"By the way, Yang Gou, build a few more thatched huts for me over there."

"Zi'an, could it be that you really stayed in this hut for more than two years?"

"Why can't you stay?"

Then stay at it, Yang Pan will no longer persuade him.

Hou Ke said: "This time the imperial court should be satisfied, right?" ”

A few days ago, they sent people to roughly estimate that as long as the water is released immediately, more than 19,000 hectares of cultivated land will benefit. However, there are still the original cultivated fields in the middle, especially the Nanbai Canal is a low irrigation area, and the imperial court has built it several times before, so the proportion of original cultivated fields is relatively high, about 12,000 hectares. However, with the transfer of the canal workers to the second and third sections, the proportion of cultivated land began to decline significantly.

But this is also an achievement, even if the original cultivated land will also be divided into three, six, nine and so on, many cultivated land due to insufficient irrigation water, the yield is very low. In this overhaul, at least ninety percent of it has become a real fertile land.

Wang Ju said: "Hou Zhixian, you should be satisfied, although I said in the Chinese book that tens of thousands of hectares of cultivated land may be irrigated, but at that time, the idea in my heart was that even if I could get 5,000 hectares of cultivated land, put it in Guanzhong, its meaning would be completely different." ”

Several officials in charge of repairing the canal know how important it is, and it can be said that the appearance of 500 hectares of fertile land here is also better than the more than 1,000 hectares of fertile polders in Wanchun Wei.

"Not only irrigation, but also so many weirs, you can raise fish, plant cocoons, and benefit many people."

"Tsukashi...... Immediately put up a cloth and strictly forbid anyone to plant a cocoon in the weir. ”

"Why?"

"You can plant trees on the shore, you can raise fish in the weir, and you can even raise ducks, but remember that you can't transfer the libiscus, because there will be a lot of disputes, and the second is that it will block the weir. The steward of my grandfather's house, who passed by me some time ago to visit me, said that the West Lake in Hangzhou is now starting to be congested. I didn't look at it, but I guess it's partly because of this wide range of cocoons. ”

It's a matter of the details, but it's often the big one.

For example, in the spring, Wang Ju asked the imperial court to order that willows should be carried on both sides of Jingshui.

End of February. Wang Juqi immediately went to take a look. Poorly enforced. Therefore, I immediately wrote a private letter to various officials, and if you don't listen to the edict, don't blame me for making a small report.

But he didn't expect to receive a private letter from Cai Ting, and he said one thing, this official can order all subordinate officials to cooperate, but have you ever wondered if the tributaries of Jingshui on the front line can carry trees?

Wang Ju had no choice but to make additions, Yanqing water from Yele Town, and Maling Water from Huanzhou City. In the upper reaches of the Puchuan River, the Dahu River, and the Yangjin River, there is no need to carry out this order.

In fact, most of the upper reaches of these tributaries had already begun to deteriorate, but Wang Ju had to make concessions for the sake of military purposes.

Cheng Fang asked suspiciously: "Is there such a strict zhòng?" ”

"Cheng Dujian, it's stricter than you think, and these weirs are not like the sand storage ponds we deliberately built, in the dry season, the five steep gates at the head of the canal are closed together, and then the water in the sand storage tank is released, and hundreds of people are sent to work for a few days. You can pick up the silt and sand away. Once the various dams are blocked, it will be troublesome to remove the water in the face of the opposition of the master. Dredging is more troublesome. ”

Wang Ju objected, which was also something that would rather believe in it than believe in it, so several people did not insist.

The four of them sat down again to discuss the flood weir system and the rules for water use.

If you can't fix it, you can leave it alone.

There will be many things in the future, such as maintenance, no maintenance, no matter how good the water conservancy project is, it will collapse after more than ten years.

Another example is the different water level of each tributary, and the flood season is even different, and the water level is adjusted.

There is also the dry season, the distribution of water to each irrigation district, and so on.

Officials should be assigned to manage and maintain it.

There must also be a mature system, the plumber is presided over by four people, and he is also the person who is most familiar with the canal, and this system is about to be used, so several people negotiate, and by the way, the matter will be resolved.

After talking for a while, Yang Pan hurried back to Xiao Zhengquan with the sergeant and the people.

…………

Under normal circumstances, when the news reaches the city, there will definitely be a firecracker.

But now the city of Jingyang is very strange, obviously many people have a look of joy on their faces, but the city is quiet.

The big series begins.

More than 20 people came to Peng Yuanwai's house.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the water gauge has begun to be carved in front of the advection steep gate."

It turned out that Yang Pan was planning to use water turtles, a festive building, symbolizing that the canal would be as long as the life of a turtle. The second is to measure the water level, the flow and depth of the water. The classical Chinese saying is called the water rule.

Where the water reaches the turtle, you can see the scale of the water diversion. For example, "the water reaches the mouth of the turtle, one hundred and twenty water", one water is the water that passes through the channel and the section is one square foot of water.

Wang Ju said: "It's better to save money, isn't it just to look at a water flow and water level, why use a water gauge instead, but it will be clear at a glance." ”

Yang Pan suspected that the water gauge was too rudimentary.

Wang Ju said again: "I'm afraid you don't know how tight the imperial court is, look at the victims in Hebei, how much money does the imperial court allocate for disaster relief?" ”

Everyone woke up to this.

If you don't look at the batch of money, food and materials allocated by the imperial court, it was transferred through gritted teeth.

So he listened to Wang Ju's advice and replaced the water turtle with a water gauge.

This also means that the head of the canal is about to be opened.

More than two dozen people looked at each other.

Zhao Yuanwai brought a large number of gentry to show loyalty to Wang Ju, and they knew it.

But these people are relatively powerful, especially Peng Yuanwai Zeng Yuan, some of them were beaten by Wang Juju, and some of them were ruthlessly knocked away a sum of money, so they were unwilling to give in.

However, Wang Ju's hand was very powerful, and with this differentiation, their strength immediately weakened.

Now there are two paths, one immediately changed his mind and offered loyalty to Wang Ju, but at this time, it was probably too late, even the so-called "compensation" would not be much. Moreover, there are those who do not believe in evil.

The second way is to fight against the bottom, and Wang Ju has not made a move. The rod beat Li Yuanwai and them, but they tricked a few family members of Xu officials to go to the capital to sue the emperor and blackmail, that is, nine families sent people to attack Wang Ju, especially Zeng Yuanwai's wife, blocked the street, and openly pointed fingers at Wang Ju and scolded Sang.

As for the rest, Wang Ju really didn't move, and even ignored them and continued to circle the fields.

However, these people all know in their hearts that if Wang Ju doesn't make a move, he will be killed, and once he makes a move, it will be an extremely fierce blow.

"Li Yuanwai, what do you say?" He was a foreigner.

"This kid is ruthless, so I have to guard against it."

The faces of more than 20 people are a little unpleasant, why do so many people give in and immediately take away those signs of enclosure, not that they are conscious, but they are really afraid, afraid that Wang Ju will use some ferocious means at that time, and even people dare to continue to stuck.

"This kid must be ruthless, otherwise Zhao Yuanwai invited him back to the city, but he didn't go back to the city, and said that it was easy to send God and difficult to invite God, what did he think he was, God! What a ghost! ”

"Li Yuanwai, you are all saying a word, it was not your idea to let Li Qun drive him out of the city in the first place?"

"I just wanted to push him, and it was self-defeating to think that he would get out of town immediately. But if you don't force him out of the city, will he be able to give in? ”

This sentence sounds very strange, a group of landlords and businessmen actually forced dignified officials to submit, but not to mention, there really are, including Jingyang Zhixian, there are several Zhixian who have "yielded".

"I inquired with my nephew, and he said that this Zheng Baiqu court is very cautious, and the official family and Han Gong attach great importance to it." Peng Yuanwai said.

"What else did he say?"

"He's not in the court, how can he know so much."

"That's not the same as not saying it," several people complained, such a large water conservancy project in Guanzhong, the border has the pressure of Western Xia, can the imperial court not pay attention to it?

Li Yuanwai took a few steps and said, "I have an idea. ”

"It's not a bad idea, is it?"

"It's not bad, but you promise not to leak it to the outside world, and everyone participates when you participate."

You have to live together, you have to die together, you have to die together, you can keep it secret!

"We swear."

"This idea is divided into two strategies, one is to do it openly, we will join forces, go to Hou Zhixian, and ask him how to deal with the cultivation of Li Wei. Hou Zhixian must not say anything, we will take the next person, go to the county office again to inquire, and then in a fit of anger, break into the account room, and burn the field books collected by the kid. ”

Now that Wang Jutu is exhausted, why is it as stable as Mount Tai now, it is that he has those field books in his hands.

I only recognize the field book to speak, not the actual ploughing of the field.

Miserable is on this field book, as soon as the field book is burned, Wang Ju has no certificate, only rolls his eyes.

"No, why can he be rampant, the water conservancy is mainly repaired by the Baojie army, he won a battle, the sergeant of the Baojie army worships him, the water conservancy is divided into fields, they will also get practical benefits, so obey his command, once we do this, I don't know if half of your heads will fall."

"Then we will adopt the second strategy, the bright place can't be burned, the dark place is burned, our family sent clever manpower, sneaked into the county government account office in the second half of the night, and burned all these account books with a fire."

In fact, in ancient times, there were really officials who angered Haoqiang and burned the county government.

And in ancient times, different from later generations, in order to show integrity, various officials did not like to repair the county government, and often the county government could not be repaired for a long time, and it was dilapidated, including the Jingyang County government, as well as the account room next to the account book.

Everyone thought about it carefully, and after a while, they all showed joy, they didn't need too many people to do this work, and they could do it beautifully if they sent one person. That family can't find a reliable person? (To be continued......) R1292
