Lord of the House

Vol 8 Chapter 72: old boy

Lin Fu went south from the shore of Qingjiangpu, and only when he arrived at Yanqing Tunzhai did he know the two counties of Yandu and Jianling.

Although the Huaidong Army commander could not manage the civil affairs and finances of the county, Hu Dahai was still afraid that Lin Fu would give him small shoes to wear under the scorching sun. Surrounded by the crowd, we walked for a long time and arrived at Yanqing at dusk.

When they arrived in Yanqing, Dong Wenbiao, the magistrate of Jianling, led the officials of Jianling to come over early. Hu Dahai thought that coming from Jianling would be no closer than coming from Yandu, and he secretly said: Dong Wenbiao knows how to please, so he rushed in front of him to add pig herds. He spat secretly on his ass, looking down on Dong Wenbiao's character.

Looking up at Yanqing Tunzhai, the wall is more than a zhang higher than the Yandu city wall.

The village is only two hundred steps square, and there are more than 8,000 workers and soldiers assembled in Yanqing. In addition to the field official hall, the construction official hall, the command shed, and the various divisions located inside and outside the village, more than 8,000 soldiers were divided into five camps and stationed on the line of the Yanqing construction section.

The embankment is mainly in charge of the brigades, but for logistical support, the construction officials of each section will recruit manpower from local areas to make up for the lack of manpower. A large number of materials and people came in and out, making Yanqing Village much more lively than Yandu County.

Outside the village, there were many shanties scattered around, and they looked fairly neat. Three or five bare-bottomed children were playing on the dirt road. The river gate is located in the southeast corner of Yanqing Village. The whole is made of bluestone. The bluestone gate pillars along the river are also poured with iron juice to nest. Hu Dahai has only seen such a majestic river gate when he was traveling in Sishui. It can be imagined that the Huaidong Military Division built four at one time! The current work is to build a levee to connect the post fort and the river gate.

Hu Dahai entered the village and got off the sedan chair. He learned that Lin Fu had summoned Dong Wenhu and other officials of Jianling County in the official hall.

The official hall is quite simple, with a layer of bricks on the ground, which is still in order. Lin Fu was asking about Dong Wenhu, and Hu Dahai heard a few words and knew that Lin Fu was asking about the Yanqing River Drainage Canal.

The Yanqing River was originally the boundary river between Jianling and Yandu, and it was also one of the four main rivers for repairing and defending the seawall to preserve the estuary. It's like tens of thousands of taels of snowflake silver.

Due to the repair of seawalls, some rivers will be blocked. These rivers in Yandu and Jianling counties either lead into Beiguan River in the west, Qingjiangpu in the north, or Yanqing River.

The excavation of the canals is the responsibility of the local government. This is an important measure to adjust the drought and flood in the **** after the sea **** is built.

"How far has the canal in Yandu County been dug?" Lin Fu saw Hu Dahai walking in, and asked him to sit down in front of him. He let Dong Wenbiao go, and asked Hu Dahai about the excavation of the canal.

Hu Dahai looked down on what Lin Bie did in his heart, and slandered behind his back, but he didn't dare to confront him face to face.

There were not only one or two officials who had brought down the Dongyang faction and were in a miserable situation. Lin Fu was able to hold the power today, stepping on the corpses of thousands of people under his feet. The annihilation of the Ma family in Shanyang is a lesson from the past, and Hu Dahai still does not think that his waist can be stronger than the horse clothes of the son-in-law of the king of Chu.

Hu Dahai briefly explained the matter of dredging the canals in Yandu, and he did not forget to mention many difficulties.

Lin Fu touched the short mustache under his chin, stared at Hu Dahai, and pondered other things in his heart.

There are many lakes and swings in Yandu, as well as many wetlands and swamps. The natural river channels are dense, forming a dense river network. Generally, the water channels can be smooth. But how much the drainage capacity can actually be, let alone Hu Dahai, I am afraid that the officials who are in charge of the work in the Yandu County workshop have no idea.

After all, this involves professional knowledge in water conservancy engineering, and the accumulation of knowledge in this area by contemporary officials is far inferior to that of professional craftsmen. Ge Siyu and others couldn't get away, and couldn't conduct a thorough investigation of the river conditions in Yandu, Jianling, and Gaocheng counties. Lin Fu was just urging the localities to do more things as much as possible.

Lin Fu also knew that Hu Dahai, Dong Wenbiao and others would not disobey orders, but it was delusional to think how active they could be.

Seeing Hu Dahai's report, it's not much different from sending someone to find out the truth. Lin Fu didn't investigate further, so he asked something else: "How is the spring flower harvest in Yandu County this year?"

Hu Dahai scolded inwardly: The harvest of spring flowers is nothing of yours, but he replied respectfully: "There are many flooded fields in Yandu, and it is not easy to grow wheat. The harvest of spring flowers is far inferior to that of Chongzhou in the south."

In the past two years, the grain fields in Chongzhou have generally promoted intercropping of spring wheat and summer rice, and the harvest has increased significantly.

However, wheat grows in dry land and rice grows in paddy fields, which requires high irrigation and drainage conditions for the fields. In addition, two seasons are planted in one land each year, which consumes a lot of soil fertility, and fertilization work must keep up.

Except for a few places in Chongzhou, the Huaidong area is generally unable to complete the intensive cultivation of spring wheat and summer rice. This is also the place where the current grain production of Huaian Prefecture and Hailing Prefecture is far behind that of Pingjiang Prefecture and Weiyang Prefecture.

Exactly the same is true. In addition to the reclamation of wasteland and deserted beaches, the existing grain fields have great potential for increasing grain production in the eleven counties of the two prefectures in Huaidong.

Hu Dahai pushed Chongzhou out, just wanted to complain, and then brought up the difficulties of this additional levy, Lin Fudao did not give him a chance to speak, and said in his tone: "Chongzhou's experience is indeed worth learning from the counties, since Hu Zhixian is so envious of Chongzhou's experience in planting spring flowers," Lin Fu paused for a while, and then said, "Then I will recommend one or two officials to Yandu County to assist in agricultural affairs. What do you think of Hu Zhixian?"

Hu Dahai was stunned for a moment, thinking that Lin Fu was going to mix sand in Yandu County, how could he agree to it? Hastily shied away and said, "The county officials are selected. There are rules in the government and the county governor. The lower officials can't be the masters. Besides, the subordinate officials in the county are all radishes and pits, and they don't need more people."

"I understand the rules of the county magistrate," Lin Fu said. "The officials I recommend to Yandu are all well-known and won't make trouble for you; the officials in Yandu County are all radishes and pits. I also understand, but over the years in Yandu County, there have been many new derived things, there is no special person to govern, and a lot of work is not in place! I am also a good-natured, and there are some things I see in my eyes and do not say it. This is Xiu Hanhai With regard to the dike, how much help Yandu County has provided, does Mr. Hu have any bottom line?"

Lin Bing's eyes stared coldly. In the heat of the summer, Hu Dahai felt that his body was cold and swish, his mouth snorted, and he glanced at Dong Wenbiao subconsciously; Dong Wenbiao turned his eyes away, and Hu Dahai felt it was a bad thing .

Lin Fu said: "Master Dong thinks that Jianling County needs to choose some new officials to promote the work, and I just thought that Yandu County may have this need! If you must think that Yandu County can do the work well, I will also I won't force people into it!"

Hu Dahai saw that Lin Fujiang was speaking so naked/naked/naked, so blunt, and refused to confront him face to face, so he **** all the eighteen generations of Dong Wenbiao's ancestors, who had no bones in their hearts. People give advice to Yandu's work, and the lower officials can't ask for it!" I only hoped that Liu Tingzhou would be more rigid and block Lin Fu back, and I thought to myself: In addition to promoting those who do not know a few big characters, how can there be any hardships? How many famous scholars, who are willing to use them for him? Even if one or two people are forced to come in, just let it dry.

What is Hu Dahai's mind, and what is hard for Lin Fu to guess? He said: "Since Mr. Hu has no opinion," he turned his head and shouted to a young man who was sitting on the side transcribing the copy, "Yicheng, come and see Mr. Hu. You recommend going to Ren Zandian, the military chief and Yandu in Yandu County. If there is anything in between, just run an errand in the middle, and don't let Master Hu bother!"

"Luo Yicheng pays a visit to the magistrate!" Luo Yicheng put down his pen and walked over to give Hu Dahai a salute!

"Yicheng went to Jiangning to take the exam last year and was ranked 37th. He is more promising than me, and I hope Master Hu will help you more!" Lin Fu said.

"Good to say, good to say!" Hu Dahai almost burst into tears.

Zandian is the last rank among the officials. Generally speaking, it doesn’t matter very much. How could Hu Dahai, the magistrate of the county, be afraid of a Zandian? But Lin Fu made it clear that Luo Yicheng entered the Yandu County Yap on behalf of the Huaidong Army Division, and this thorn directly pierced into Hu Dahai's heart.

Lin Fu also said to Dong Wenbiao, the magistrate of Jianling County: "I recommend Tang Xitai, an official in Jianling County. He is a talented person. Today, he happens to be away from Yanqing. The next day, I will let him go directly to Jianling County to find Mr. Dong..."

"Xiaguan is waiting in Jianling County." Dong Wenbiao said, knowing that Lin Bie said that it was a recommendation, but in fact he was directly interfering in the personnel affairs of the prefectures. Of course, the prefecture and county can also be resolute, but for him personally, what is the benefit of fighting against Lin Fu?

Dong Wenbiao, the magistrate of Jianling County, couldn't see what Tang Xitai, the official recommended by Lin Fu to Jianling County, looked like, so he stood by and watched Luo Yicheng, who was going to Yandu County as a collection.

Luo Yi is not very old, and looks at most about twenty years old, but his thin face shows a capable spirit. He has dark skin and a strong body, not as weak as the average scholar; his fingers are thick and his palms have calluses. He was wearing a blouse, and he walked in from outside just now. He was still covered in mud. At first glance, he thought he was a child of a peasant family.

When Luo Yicheng sat down to transcribe, Dong Wenbiao realized that he had written a good handwriting. At this time, Lin Fu said that he ranked 37th in the township examination last year, and Dong Wenbiao couldn't help but believe it~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Lin Fu was weak in the first year. To be famous all over the world, it should be considered an unparalleled talent and opportunity.

Now that Lin Bie casually pulls a weak young man out, he has the bearing of a capable and capable official, which really surprised Dong Wenbiao, thinking to himself: Hu Dahai wants to fool this Luo Yicheng, I am afraid it is not easy! I don't know what kind of role Tang Xitai is.

Luo Yicheng is actually far from the age of weakness. He only turned eighteen last month. He was one of the 30 boys kidnapped in the Chongzhou Boys Case and the nephew of the Luo family in Xiangzhangli. After going through these ups and downs in the past few years, and learning from Lin Fu and Fu Qinghe, he is far more mature than his peers. How can his knowledge and knowledge be comparable to those of the scholars in the same imperial examinations?

Lin Fu looked at Luo Yicheng in front of him, and Chen Enze, who was the commander of the Military Intelligence Department and joined the army behind him, and felt very emotional.

The county school children of that year are now becoming adults one after another, and there are seven people who have married and started a family. The youngest is also seventeen years old, and Chen Enze has a daughter.

After the truth of the Chongzhou boy case was revealed to the world the year before, Lin Fu let twenty-nine boys go home and choose their own way. apprenticeship.

The scientific examination is based on Confucianism. Although Lin Fu admires miscellaneous learning and craftsmanship, he also considers that some things need to be carried out step by step, and also encourages the officials of the Huaidong Military Division to refer to the scientific examination to obtain fame, in order to weaken the scholar Qingliu's influence on the Huaidong Military Division hostility and *.

To catch up with last year's township examination, three of the county school boys that year were awarded the title of honor, and even more boys were selected through the prefectural examination. Lin Fu could not directly interfere with the appointment of the chiefs and assistants of the eleven counties of the Huaidong two prefectures, but by way of recommendation, he put one or two famous officials in the prefectures and county yamen.
