Out of Beijing Baili, the boat crosses the Banqiao, and the Bianshui also flows from due west to the northwest. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info another one hundred and twenty miles, that is, Yangqiao Town.

At this point, the water has changed from the previous water depth and bank solidity, the water potential has become extremely slow, and there is no good land on both banks, and there are rivers and shoals everywhere.

Although the river is very wide, it is getting shallower and shallower, and the river is dotted with grassy sandbars and tidal flats.

Song Kai pointed to the river that was about to touch the bottom of the boat and said: "If you go up, you can't go to the boat, the big river and the sky, three parts of water and seven parts of sand, wash the yellow mud and sand into the Bianshui, from here to Biankou (the mouth of the Yellow River in the upper reaches of Bianshui) is such a shallow." ”

Tang Yi nodded, dredge the Tongji Canal, which leads to the two sections of waterways from Biankou to Yangqiao, as well as Luoshui from Xijing Henan Mansion (Luoyang) to the Yellow River.

"This is the case here in Bianshui, so shouldn't that section of Henan Mansion be more serious?"

This section of the Yellow River flows into the Bianhe River, and because the difference between the upper and lower reaches of the Bianshui River is not large, the river sand accumulates at the mouth of the river and blocks the waterway.

And the Henan Mansion is even more serious than here.

Originally, Luoshui flowed into the Yellow River, and the terrain of Luoshui was high, and the Yellow River was low, so there was no silt.

However, since the Tang Dynasty, the sediment of the Loess Plateau in the upper reaches has continued to flow down the river, and the terrain has slowed down and gradually silted up in Hezhongfu, causing the Yellow River to become higher and higher year by year, forming an above-ground hanging river.

In this way, if there is a slight water situation, Luoshui will be backfilled, and the crux of siltation will be more serious.

......

Before they got off the boat, everyone saw that there were already people on the dock looking forward to it.

The boat docked, and without waiting to get on the springboard, Tang Yi couldn't wait to go ashore, and Song Kai and the others also followed with a hula, and Wu Yuzhi grinned.

How can you say that he is also a nominal inspector, can you save me some face?

However, Tang Yi didn't care about this, the reunion of the old people was very cordial, and Tang Yi had already rushed over first.

"I haven't seen you for a long time!"

On the shore, it is Shen Kuo, Shen Cunzhong.

When Shen Kuo saw Tang Yi, he also greeted him excitedly.

"I just said you would arrive today, and sure enough, I guessed!"

Song Kai came from behind, and when he arrived in front of Shen Kuo, he looked up and down, "Okay!" It's like black charcoal than Lao Tzu. ”

Shen Kuo smiled and punched Song Kai.

"Every day on the construction site, how can you be comfortable in the academy."

As soon as Cheap Chunli came over, he listened to Shen Kuo's complaints, pouted and teased: "Come on, you don't know what the academy is like now." Why don't we change? ”

"No." Shen Kuo shook his head with a smile. "We're good here!"

As soon as the project of dredging the Tongji Canal began, Shen Kuo was stationed on the construction site for a long time. There was no way, Tang Yi lacked skills, so he could only hand over this task to Shen Kuo.

This was originally the most high-end technical talent in the Great Song Dynasty, coupled with Tang Yi's edification and communication for several years, and now he is now an important surveyor for the construction of the Tongji Canal.

Compared with him, the subordinate officials in charge of river affairs in the three divisions are not half a star worse.

......

While following Shen Kuo out of the dock, Tang Yi said, "Will the subordinate officials here teach you?" “

"Well, almost." Shen Kuo nodded. "Even if some people are still not used to cement, there is no problem with strict supervision."

Tang Yi was a little unbearable, Shen Kuo lived on the construction site for more than a year for the sake of Tongji Canal.

During the Chinese New Year, the court officials and conscripts went back for the New Year on vacation, but he didn't return. Stay on the construction site, measure the topography while studying the construction drawings.

"Then you hurry back to the academy, the next subject is not going to be two years."

When Shen Kuo heard this, he shook his head with a chuckle.

"I'll just forget about the next subject."

"Don't!" Tang Yi didn't do it. "I took you out of the house and ended up working as a coolie on the construction site, what's the matter?"

I didn't want to explain to Shen Kuo's Lao Tzu.

Shen Kuo said: "Don't you look at it, what kind of animals are there in our academy." My level is worse than yours, how can I take the test? ”

Tang Yi smiled, "It's okay!" It's a good test, help you think about it! ”

Stretched out his hand to take a brocade shaft from Jun Xinzhuo, and stuffed it into Shen Kuo's hand, "Take a look, don't try it?" ”

Shen Kuo paused, unfolded the brocade shaft and looked at it, and was even more dumbfounded.

This is a royal decree issued by the government hall, that is, the emperor drafted and signed the holy decree issued by the main office.

During this period, he praised Shen Kuo's exploits in the process of dredging the Tongji Canal, and made up for the entry of the special grace of the shade, and the official worshiped the history of the three water departments, and obtained the title of eight grades.

......

Wu Yu also saw the scroll of brocade, and he grinned again.

That's the official decree, how did you stuff it around?

What's even more outrageous is still behind, Shen Kuo finished reading it, hesitated slightly, threw it away, and the brocade shaft returned to Tang Yi's arms.

"Don't!"

“......”

Wu Yu was completely speechless, he really guarded who was learning from whom, Tang Yi was an outlier, and there was no one normal around him.

No?

Does this baby know what this means?

The important thing is not the idle official of this water ministry order history, the important thing is the official body.

In the Great Song Dynasty, in order to prevent fraud in the name of leakage, the examination was carried out separately from those with official bodies and titles. It's called "Lock Hall Test" or "Don't Head Test".

However, that's just in name. In fact, this is a back door opened for those who have official status and titles, and the success rate of the other head test is much higher than that of the Gongyuan meeting.

It can be said that the level is not too low, and it is almost successful.

The main thing is that those who can enter the lock hall of the Ministry of Rites should be jinshi, either after the official eunuch, or the nobles with the title, more or less have to put some water and take into account the feelings of their colleagues.

Wu Yuxin said that Tang Zihao's ability is big enough, and he will make up for the lack of shade for this Shen Cunzhong. But he didn't want to......

"How?" Tang Yi was puzzled. "Is the official too small?"

Shen Kuo smiled: "Does it matter if it's big or small?" Mainly, I am not interested in being an official now. ”

Belch......

Wu Yu doesn't understand, and there are people who are not interested in being officials?

But when Shen Kuo continued: "When the river is finished, I will go back to Guanlan, and Da Lang will teach me all your chemistry, physics, sextant, barometer and so on." I guess these are enough for me to ponder for a lifetime, how can I still have spare time to be an official!? ”

Hearing this, Tang Yi grabbed Shen Kuo's shoulder.

This is Shen Kuo!

Shen Kuo, who is an official, how can Shen Kuo, who is a scholar, valuable?

What can Shen Kuo do even if he becomes the prime minister? There is no shortage of officials in the Great Song Dynasty, but there is a shortage of scientists in the Great Song Dynasty. To be precise, China has been short of scientists for thousands of years!

"Good brother, you still know me! Don't worry, I don't treat my brother badly, I will pay more monthly subsidies, according to the prime minister's salary! No, double! ”

Shen Kuo knew that Tang Yi was not short of money, and he didn't shirk, "It's pretty much the same!" ”

......

Wu Yu felt that he couldn't listen to it anymore, and if he listened to it again, he would have to turn his back on it.

These two are a madman and a fool.

A fool would rather not be an official than follow a madman; And the madman spent the money of two prime ministers to raise this fool to study those strange and ingenious skills.

Wu Yu's values are collapsing, and he really can't understand it.
