Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2204 Flower War (One Hundred and Twelve)

   Admiral’s predecessor, Governor of Nanhe, was dismissed from his post because he wrote a memorial and raised the price of materials, and he was worried in Qiantang because of the death of his mother, while his predecessor, Kang Jitian, was involved in water transportation and food issues.

Cao Xi and Jiangsu Governor Su Qi are now investigating the issue of "cao grain" in Huai'an. .

More than 20 years ago, good rice was used for the payment of grain by the private sector, but with the payment of fees such as official collection, Dingdui, Huaihuai, and Yuntong, even if the follow-up rectification was made, the Caomin was still extorted, and the local management illegally floated. To collect, to transport one stone of rice to pay an extra seven or eight buckets, the grain households were overwhelmed, so they replaced it with the following rice.

In order to complete the task of collecting grains as early as possible, the officials who collected grain collected both good rice and poor rice. When they arrived at Qi Ding Dui Yun, they knew that the beige color was mixed, so they had to choose good rice and transport it away. Extortion fee, ranging from two hundred and thirty taels to two hundred and seventy taels per boat.

Some people add water to the rice, and then use bamboo and put a torch into the rice pile. After the raw rice is cooked, it will rise a lot, and then cover it with a layer of rice and cover it with a warehouse board, so it looks like the warehouse is full. .

  Some people put the old rice into lime water and steam it, so that the outer skin is peeled off, and the old rice looks like new rice.

The previous governor of Caoyun, Tie Bao, was also known for his regular script skills. He was from Zhenghuang Banner, his surname was Jue Luo, and later changed to Dong E. Even Emperor Jiaqing would have a hard time dealing with him, so he often took responsibility for his subordinates. .

   But at present, the imperial court needs military rations. The last time Yue Qi investigated the case, Cao Chen Jiang Zhaokui directly pressed and transported the food north, and did not meet Yue Qi at all. Now that Tiebao has been dismissed, it is most suitable to investigate the case during the "alternation of old and new". The solar term of mangosteen is on the eighth day of the fifth month, which is exactly three days after the Dragon Boat Festival. During this time, some areas in Jiangnan have to harvest once, that is to say, the last one During the Dragon Boat Festival, Cao Xi was busy dealing with this matter.

   This young man was worried about losing his fiancée, so he was not influenced by the officialdom in Jiangnan, but he was worried that the Admiral had misunderstood, and hoped that Nick could explain it to him.

He also apologized for his previous rude behavior, but as Nick thought before, Cao Xi was not honest, and Nick didn't really forgive him, and he was still wary of him, but Nick still conveyed Cao Xi to the admiral. What Xi wants to say.

  The "lawsuit" of the Governor's Palace in Nanhe squeezed into a mountain, and the Admiral was devastated by the problem of refugees. With the frequent news of the war, order was restored in some places. At this time, the aftermath had to be dealt with. The officials of the central government divided the land according to the Miao village and the village. And if they are connected, their land will be re-divided, so that the refugees will go back.

   This is a good thing, and it is not a good thing. The flood season is coming, and there is no material or manpower.

  Admiral did not have the same fever as he did in Guangzhou this time, but he became very angry, and he kept scolding Cao Xi for all kinds of wrongdoings.

  Hongze Lake has many streams of water flowing into it. Once the torrential rain hits, its water level will rise very quickly. It is inevitable to open the gate to release the flood, but how big will the rain be?

  Nick has been to the dam built by France in India, but he is not sure whether it will help the current flood control, because he found that the dam of Gaoyan is built of stones, like a barrel wall, not a trapezoid. From the point of view of mechanical analysis, the pressure at the bottom of the dam is very high, and it is easy to break. However, it will be a huge project to change all of them into trapezoids. Gaoyan is as winding as the Great Wall, and the materials used are similar to those used in the construction of the Great Wall. They are all sealed with rice paste. This material is amazing. Last time Nick was in Zhenhai. The tulou seen in the county are also made of rammed earth mixed with rice husk and rice paste, which is very strong.

   Continue to raise the levee, and Gaoyou Lake will face the flood that pours down like a waterfall. If the levee is not raised, the silt at the bottom of the river cannot be washed away, and the lake water will overflow the levee, threatening the safety of Huaian and Yangzhou.

  Other places are praying for rain, and Huai'an is hanging on the mother of the Qing Dynasty. The responsible officials must go to the scene even if they have only one breath left, let alone paralyzed in bed.

Although Kang Jitian was taken off the top for the grain transportation case, he was assigned to Yili again, and was recalled the following year. He was reinstated because he defended the Qujiazhuang Embankment in the fifty-ninth year of Qianlong's reign, and was reinstated. He is currently in charge of the Yellow River in Shandong Province. The river workers of the two rivers, the Canal and the Canal, are known as "another person after Yu who manages the rivers".

   In the late Ming Dynasty, there was also a Fengshui master named Kang Jitian, who later became one of the "national masters" of the Qing Dynasty, but he did not stay in the capital to become a Hanlin like Cao Benrong, a master of Yixue, but held an official position in the locality. Feng Shui in ancient China is closely related to urban planning. As a traveler, observer, recorder, Nick did not want to get involved too much. He was very busy with everyone, and he could not continue to teach Wanning. In the case of the young lady, she went out to find the teenage imam again.

  ***The religious calendar also uses the pure lunar calendar, that is, the moon's lunar cycle is used to calculate the time, but their calendar is different from the lunar calendar. There are only 355 days in a year. "Ramadan" is a Buddhist term. The Buddhist Ramadan is the first month, May and September of the lunar calendar. The *** religion borrowed their vocabulary. The worship ceremony held during the *** Ramadan is called "Juli".

  May is not the holy month of Ramadan, but the imam asked Nick for a gift from Gaoyou Salted Duck Egg.

  This time Nick thought about it before going to the mosque and decided to take a bath first. After all, on the sixth day of the sixth day of the sixth month, everyone, even animals, were bathing. When he left, he brought two pieces of soap with added fragrance as a gift.

  The word "wax" is composed of "worm" and "xi". The wax in ancient China was not extracted from animal fats, but from the secretions of white wax worms, and was specially used to make white candles.

   "Xi" represents dried meat and residual meat, which agrees with "Zhou" which means "people make knives and I make fish meat".

Zou can be an utensil for offering sacrifices, or it can be a chopping board that is placed below when cutting meat. In "Zhou Li", the wax clan is responsible for removing the "pi", a kind of corpse whose meat is not completely rotten, and a rotting corpse. Not only is it prone to insects, but it also produces an animal-based oil called "corpse wax". Nick sincerely hopes that the "jerky" represented by "Xiang" does not mean this.

  The burial customs in the East are very mysterious. The Egyptians also made the corpse of the pharaoh into a mummified corpse. The ancient Central Plains aristocrats wore golden jade clothes. They believed that jade could guarantee their corpses immortality.

   In fact, well-preserved ancient corpses are occasionally found. The mummified corpses are easier to understand, while those "wet corpses" are difficult to understand. They were usually dignitaries during their lifetime, and only in this way can they mobilize enough labor to build their tombs in the "Feng Shui Treasure Land".

   As for the astrology of ancient China, they do have a lot of backwardness, but they should have found some kind of magical law. Nick does not object to Wanning and Wang Zhenyi continuing to study by herself, but he still hopes that she can continue to study European science.

   Their short-lived intimacy should come to an end. There are etiquette barriers, customs constraints, and civilization barriers.

  Having ladies hiding behind a dark bamboo curtain is annoying, they haven't done anything wrong, so why can't they just read books in the sun?

This bad mood also affected Nick's attitude towards people who were curious about his appearance. If he found someone staring at him, he would show the folding fan with the admiral's inscription, like it was written on the fan, and fan it, Bring a cool breeze in summer.

  Georgianna laughed.

   "What are you laughing at?" Bonaparte asked curiously.

   She found the silver folding fan that was given to her by the British merchant, and with one hand behind her back, she paced and raised her chin, "What do you think I look like?"

   He looked at her amusingly.

   "Every 'Merry Talent' must have a folding fan. Do you think I look like me?"

   "I want to watch Fan Yu, what else would you do besides the one at the dance that day?"

   She put away the fan and pouted unwillingly.

   "There's nothing wrong with being a girl, you don't have to look at the maggot-covered corpse."

She wanted to scream, but then she remembered that once in Italy in the summer, he saw a lot of corpses in a small church, and several people called his name from the "corpse mountain", expecting him to save him them.

   "Why don't you speak?" asked Bonaparte.

   "One day you will know that you are wrong." She said angrily, and sat back in her seat, she knew that there were female forensic doctors in the Muggle police.

   He didn't seem to believe it at all, showing an unpleasant smile.

   She picked up the book angrily and read the following content hard.
