The day after Song Yuyan met Lin Bu, he brought Sun'er to visit.Lin Bu had no wife or children, but only a boy by his side. Song Yuyan and Bing'er took a small boat to the lonely mountain in the West Lake, and the boy came to pick them up.

Lin Bu lives in a very quiet environment, and there are no other buildings around, just his room.Song Yuyan heard that many people admired the name of this house, and donated money to him to repair it after he was rejected as an official in the court.

The boy said: "Mr. is seeing a guest, please wait a moment."

Song Yuyan nodded: "Okay."

She and Sun'er didn't wait long, when they saw Lin Bu and a monk coming out from the inside, Lin Bu smiled and introduced, "Qianfu, that one is Lufang Xiaolang, the painter."

The monk sized up Song Yuyan and nodded, "Young talents are rare, rare."

Lin Bu also introduced monks to Song Yuyan: "Mr. Lufang Xiaolang, this is Master Zhiyuan from Fengxian Temple. He has no words and is also called Qianfu."

Song Yuyan felt that the master's dharma name was somewhat familiar, and after thinking about it, she quickly remembered that when she knew Zhili, she knew that Zhili had been arguing with others about which Buddhism, the "Shanwai School" or the "Shanjia School", was the authentic Tiantai Shan, and the one who wrote books and scolded each other with Zhili, isn't it Zhiyuan? !

"The world is too small." Song Yuyan secretly exclaimed.

Song Yuyan was not affected by the dispute between Zhiyuan and Zhili and had a preconceived bad impression of Zhiyuan, because she was not clear about Buddhist affairs, and the dispute between the two had nothing to do with morality or character, so Lin Bu was giving When she introduced Zhiyuan, she could also greet Zhiyuan calmly.

Zhiyuan did not stay long.After he left, Lin Bu also remembered that he promised to help give advice on this young man, Sun'er. He first took a few exams for Sun'er, and after finding out Sun'er's level, he pointed out his strengths and weaknesses, and then told him , which books to start with and how to think can make up for weaknesses more quickly.

Song Yuyan listened to it, and actually felt that she had benefited a lot. She thought that Lin Bu was indeed a noble hermit who was known as well-versed in classics and history, and the key points he mentioned were penetrating, even she felt a sense of enlightenment.

Seeing that Sun'er was listening seriously and carefully, she didn't bother them.

When they left, she asked Sun'er how she felt in her heart. Sun'er thought for a while and asked, "Brother, can I still come to ask Mr. for advice tomorrow? I will come by myself, and I don't need to trouble you to accompany me. It's rare for my sister-in-law to travel far away, so I should go and have a good time."

Song Yuyan asked back: "Did you ask Mr.?"

"Sir agrees."

Song Yuyan scolded with a smile: "Okay, I have learned to cut first and then play."

He said again, "This is of great benefit to you, how can I object?"

After returning, Tang Zhi also asked Sun'er how the harvest was. After hearing his decision, she was a little worried: "Is it okay for you to go alone?"

"I'm already 15 years old, there will be no problem." Sun'er said.

15 years old is no longer a child in the eyes of people in this era, and Tang Zhi didn't worry too much about his safety.

Then Tang Zhi asked Song Yuyan: "I've already visited Hangzhou City, is your purpose only to visit Hangzhou City?"

Song Yuyan smiled and said: "Ah Zhi knows me. Indeed, I came to Hangzhou not only for fun... I have heard the name of the Qiantang River Sea Pond for a long time, so I really want to come and see it."

As one of the most famous water conservancy projects in China, tidal watching on the Qiantang River has always been a hot spot in the news for later generations, and the reason why people can watch the tide on the Qiantang River is also due to the construction of the seawall.

But when the people of later generations were so happy to watch the tide, the ancients had a headache for the waves.The tide not only turned the surrounding farmland into a river, but also threatened the safety of Hangzhou City. Therefore, when the ancients faced the tide, they would never have the mood to appreciate the magnificent scenery.

Song Yuyan studied water conservancy engineering, and before being brought here by the system, she was studying port channel and coastal engineering. Although she is not specialized in coastal engineering, she still knows the history of the construction of the Qiantang River seawall. .Now that she came to Hangzhou, she naturally had to witness the construction of the seawall during this period.

100 years ago, Qian Yu, the monarch of the state of Wu, ordered the construction of seawalls. However, the earthen ponds used in the Tang Dynasty were always easy to be washed away. Therefore, he adopted the "stone pile method", which is to put stones into the seawalls made of bamboo. Then put it on the coast, fix the gabion in the middle with wooden stakes, and add stones on top to increase the weight of the embankment.

And this method is almost the best that the current production level can reach. Li Bing also used stones in bamboo cages to build a weir when he built Dujiangyan. Also known as "Yuwei Weir".

It was not until the Qing Dynasty that people came up with the idea of ​​using stone ponds to replace the "stone piles" ponds in the seawalls of the Qiantang River, and it was not until the Republic of China that concrete materials were used.

All in all, the development history of the Qiantang River seawall is actually the development history of the production level in ancient China. It is necessary for Song Yuyan to witness those technologies that have long been eliminated.

In addition, she also wanted to learn from it, and then she could give Tang Haogen some advice when she returned to Mingzhou.

Since Tang Haogen became the county magistrate, he has often been troubled by seawater intrusion, which caused land salinization and farmland damage.It just so happens that the imperial court attaches great importance to river control and water conservancy projects. If some seawall projects can be built, it will be a political achievement.

The earliest record of the construction of a large-scale seawall in Mingzhou is the seawall built by Wang Anshi when he was the county magistrate in Yin County, so it is also called "Wang Gongdi".The construction method is the same as that of the Qiantang River Seawall. Of course, before he built it, Xie Jingchu, the magistrate of Yuyao County next door, had already built a 2.8-foot-long seawall, and asked him to help write an article "Yuyao County Seawall Story" .

The seawall built by this method will be washed away by the waves almost every year, so almost every county magistrate will repair the seawall every year.

Song Yuyan didn't see the shadow of Mr. Wang Anshi, and Mingzhou naturally didn't have a large-scale seawall, and some of them were scattered seawalls built by the people spontaneously.

Song Yuyan knows that ash trees can be planted in saline-alkali land, but planting trees is not the solution. The best way is to build seawalls.

Tang Zhi heard her say that she wanted to see the seawall, but when she got in touch with the canal she helped the Song clan plan and build, she suddenly understood something.She didn't say anything, but nodded, pretending that she believed it again.

Song Yuyan felt a little guilty about this, and felt guilty for fooling and deceiving Tang Zhi for so long. Unfortunately, she couldn't explain her origin. What if Tang Zhi couldn't accept it?So sometimes she tells herself it's a white lie.

After Song Yuyan and Tang Zhi went to the Qiantang River to observe the seawall, Song Bing and Aunt Lie walked the streets as usual. It was impossible for them to be completely free. They saw so many novelties in Hangzhou, so they wanted to buy some Take it back to Mingzhou and sell it as a way to earn travel expenses.

When Song Yuyan and Tang Zhi came back from the sea pond, they bought another donkey cart and loaded it with a lot of goods...

Song Yuyan: "..."

Sure enough, ever since Uncle 21 and Aunt Lie rubbed off on the caravan's car, the heart of doing business began to stir again.

Of course, considering that they are only in their 40s, they are in their prime, because Song Yaoyao is married, and it is a bit of a waste of time to start the pension mode. If they can find something to do, they have found fun and direction.

They stayed in Hangzhou until mid-February, and the entire Jiangnan region has begun to enter the rainy season of spring rain. Song Yuyan still can't stand the weather, and they don't bring much change of clothes, so it's better to be at home, so she and Tang After discussing with Zhi, Uncle 21, and Aunt Lie, they decided to return to Mingzhou.

During the days Sun'er stayed in Hangzhou, he had learned a lot. If Song Yuyan hadn't wanted to go back to Mingzhou, he would have wanted to stay here so that he could learn from Lin Bu.

However, he also knew that Lin Bu was a hermit, and it was impossible for him to accept apprentices. Lin Bu could teach him for a short time, but he couldn't educate him for a long time, so he didn't dare to bother Lin Bu anymore.

Song Yuyan bid farewell to Lin Bu before leaving, and also presented her with a pen holder carved from green bamboo in the spring of the West Lake.Originally, it was most appropriate to send a poem tube to Lin Bu, who is a poet, but Lin Bu never wrote a poem and then discarded it, and the poem tube was of no use to him.And he also paints and writes calligraphy on weekdays, so Song Yuyan chose to give him a pen holder.

Lin Bu chanted plums the most, but it wasn't that he didn't love bamboo, so he readily accepted Song Yuyan's bamboo carving and gave her a poem as a farewell gift.

When you go, you will be leisurely, and when you return, you will be leisurely.It only took three or four days for a group of people to travel leisurely from Hangzhou to Cixi.

When passing through Jinchuan Township, Uncle 21 and Aunt Lie went home directly.Song Yuyan and the others chose to go back to the county first.

Seeing the familiar Xingxian Archway, Bing'er couldn't wait to get off the donkey cart and ran to his house, and Sun'er also ran home holding the book that Lin Bu gave him.

Song Yuyan and Tang Zhi pulled the donkey cart and walked slowly behind. When the neighbors saw them, they were pleasantly surprised: "Song Dalang and Mrs. Tang are back! We haven't seen each other for more than a month. We thought you were rooted in Jinchuan Xiang, you are not coming back!"

Faced with their enthusiasm, Tang Zhi also gave them some souvenirs brought back from Hangzhou. When everyone heard that they actually went to Hangzhou, their eyes widened, "Why did they run so far?"

The young lady was more envious: "Because I wanted to see the lantern market in Kaiyuan Temple, I brought my wife and younger siblings there. Song Dalang is so gentle and considerate! It would be great if Song Dalang hadn't married yet!"

Song Yuyan was a little embarrassed, Tang Zhi heard it, his expression was expressionless, but he deliberately wiped Song Yuyan's sweat before entering the door.

Song Yuyan didn't know what she was thinking, but she frowned at her gentle actions.

The other people had a row of teeth knocked down by the acid, and hurried home with the souvenirs they gave.

Tang Zhi took a special look at those young ladies who were unwilling to leave, curled the corners of his mouth in a good mood, and dragged Song Yuyan home again.

During the more than a month when they were not at home, Tang Ye and Chen Caiqi took care of the chickens and ducks raised here, and they did not enter the main room, so the door of the main room was locked.After Tang Zhi opened the door of the main room, he began to clean the room, and then drove Song Yuyan to check the situation of the chicken coop.

Song Yuyan: "..."

The gentleness just now was an illusion!

Sun'er voluntarily went to the kitchen to cook, but when Song Yuyan wanted to find cakes to help Tang Zhi, she found that she had already slipped to Tang's house.

After a while, Tang Yeti came back with cakes.To be precise, when Tang Ye was coming to the Song family, Bing'er reluctantly came back with her.

Song Yuyan looked at the pancakes with a half-smile: "Look at these chickens, they are fat and meaty raised by your sister Ye Zi..."

The implication is "Your elder sister Ye Zi, an outsider, will help with the work, but you will only be lazy."

Both Tang Ye and Binger understood. Tang Ye wanted to say that she helped raise chickens because her sister and brother-in-law paid her wages, but she felt that her brother-in-law was educating Binger, so she should not interfere That's good, so I watched Bing'er pick up the broom to clean the chicken coop because of shame.

Song Yuyan turned to help Tang Zhi, and said, "Xiaoye is here, you two sisters haven't spoken to each other for more than a month, go and chat with her!"

Tang Zhi glanced at her, and handed this place over to her, while he took Tang Ye back to his room, chatting and tidying up the things he brought back from Hangzhou.

Tang Zhi brought local specialties to her neighbors, so naturally her family would not be missing. She sorted out a small basket of loquats and two cakes of West Lake Longjing tea, and said, "I picked the loquats when I passed by the orchard when I came back." , distributed some to the neighbors, and there are two baskets left, you take one basket back. And this Longjing tea, it is said that it is still a tribute, take it back and keep it, don’t waste it.”

Tang Ye asked her what she had seen along the way, and Tang Zhi said, "Actually, it's a bit more lively than Mingzhou, and there are more rich families, nothing else. There are indeed a lot of things for sale in the Kaiyuan Temple Lantern Market..."

Tang Ye saw that although her elder sister said that going out to play was a waste of money, in fact, she could tell from her high spirits when she talked about what she had seen outside that she got a lot out of going out this time.

In the past, my elder sister also looked cheerful, outgoing and flamboyant, but most of the time she was affected by her own background and felt a little unconfident.But since she was with Song Yuyan, she has come into contact with more things, met more people, and learned more about her travels, so she has become more confident.

Don't look at her eloquence when talking about the journey of more than a month, in fact, Tang Ye can detect that her heart is actually more calm and introverted.

Tang Ye listened to his sister telling interesting stories about the road like a little girl. Binger came here several times and wanted to intervene several times, but was slipped away by Song Yuyan.When Tang Ye finally came out of the room, Binger took the puppet toys she brought back from Hangzhou and shared with her: "Sister Ye Zi, look, this is the puppet I bought, isn't it pretty!"

Tang Ye had already passed the time for playing with puppets, but she still gave Bing'er a face, and said, "It looks good, the little tiger is very cute."

Bing'er suddenly became happy, and she proudly said: "Bing'er bought this with her own money!"

"Where did you get the money for the cake?" Tang Ye asked again following her words.

Bing'er with her hips on her hips: "Of course you can sell paintings!"

Tang Ye blinked, not knowing how to answer.Tang Zhi stood at the door and explained with a smile: "She was painting the tortoise raised in the pond in Lingyin Temple that day, and a pilgrim happened to pass by. Seeing that she was young but could draw good paintings, she spent a few days Wen Qian bought it. Later, when she went shopping with Aunt Lie, she saw this little tiger puppet and bought it back."

Tang Ye saw that Bing'er was begging for compliments, so he praised: "Bing'er's paintings can be sold for money. It seems that there will be masterpieces when you finish your studies. No wonder Song Dalang often pressures you to study. It seems that you Very talented."

When this matter was mentioned, Bing'er's expression collapsed again: "Sister Yezi, did you draw a lot of pictures behind my back for elder brother to check?"

Tang Ye said: "There are not many, just five or six paintings, and two bamboo carvings. Because I have to help bring wheat this month, I am not particularly diligent."

Cake: "..."

Sister Yezi's mouth, a deceitful ghost!
