Ancient promotion routine

On the way back, Zhang Wuer recollected what Zhang Yanjin said just now, and still felt a sudden surge of pride in his chest: "Erlang, you are really amazing."

At this moment, the setting sun was like blood, reflecting Zhang Yanjin's complexion rosy.He silently stared at the slowly setting red sun, vaguely feeling that something had changed unconsciously.

His original intention was to be a wealthy and idle person, but now it seems that he has deviated from his original intention.But in life, there is always something worthwhile to do, isn't it?

After staying in Xizhou for a few days, after Zhang Yanjin finished handling the matter, he left a few officials here to resettle the victims back to Zhongzhou, and he took Zhang Wuer to Yulin non-stop.

Hearing that Zhang Yanjin was coming to Yulin, Zhang Wu went to meet her at the intersection early in the morning.

Zhang Wuer saw Zhang Wuyi from a distance on the horse, so he rushed to Zhang Wuyi's side and got off the horse.

He was just about to say hello to Zhang Wuyi, but he froze for a moment.

He looked at Zhang Wuyi, then looked at the back of his hand in surprise, and said in surprise: "Brother, why did you become so white?" He didn't think he was dark at first, but there is no harm without comparison, look at him Brother, look at him again, he feels more and more black.

Zhang Yanjin who came after that looked at Zhang Wuer's surprised appearance, couldn't help laughing and said, "I don't know there is a saying called Aunt Mizhi, Suidehan?"

"Look at your naive look!" Zhang Wuyi patted Zhang Wuer on the shoulder, then turned his head to look at Zhang Yanjin who got off his horse, and said respectfully, "Erlang."

Just as he was talking, he was about to salute on one knee, but Zhang Yanjin grabbed his shoulders and said, "That's right, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and you're starting to speak Yulin dialect?" The foolishness is that Yulin natives say people are stupid I mean, Zhang Yanjin had a classmate in Yulin before, and his classmate loved to say this word, so he remembered it.

Zhang Wuyi scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Erlang, I've been here for a long time, and unconsciously it's the same as what others said."

"Erlang, Aunt Mizhi, what does Suidehan mean?" Zhang Wuer chased after the two of them and asked.

Zhang Yanjin shook the whip in her hand and said: "Auntie Mizhi Suidehan is talking about Diaochan and Lu Bu. Diaochan is a beauty of the generation. Her hometown is Mizhi, and Mizhi is a place in Yulin. Lu Bu is from Suide." People, so I say Aunt Mizhi Suidehan."

"That means that the water and soil here in Yulin is good, so my brother turned white?" Zhang Wuer understood a little bit.

Zhang Yanjin smiled and nodded, "Why don't you stay in Yulin for a while?"

Zhang Wuer chuckled, shook his head and said, "I won't do it. My brother is thoughtful and can hire a stall, but I can't. I'll follow Erlang you."

Zhang Wuyi smiled and knocked Zhang Wuer on the head, and then began to report to Zhang Yanjin on the situation of the Yulin open-pit coal mining site.

"Although the folk customs here are tough, they are also upright, so from the beginning of hiring people to the start of coal mining, basically there was no trouble, and everyone worked very hard." Zhang Wuyi pointed to the mining area in the distance. At the coal yard, he said to Zhang Yanjin: "Look, Erlang, this is a built coal mining yard, and next to it are the houses where the workers live."

Looking at the rows of red brick houses, Zhang Yanjin nodded in satisfaction.Although he gave the brick-burning technology to the imperial court at the beginning, he also said at that time that they can burn bricks for their own use, as long as they don't sell them, it is not a violation of the regulations.

"Good job!" Zhang Yanjin patted Zhang Wuyi's shoulder and said.

After inspecting the open-pit coal mining site in Yulin, Zhang Yanjin asked Zhang Wu and the victims to gather together, and encouraged the victims as they did in Xizhou last time.

Since ancient times, Chinese people have had an extremely strong attachment to their hometown. When these disaster victims heard Zhang Yanjin say that their hometown needs to be rebuilt, they immediately stated that they would follow Zhang Yanjin to go back and rebuild their homes, even if they donated part of the money. .

Since the reconstruction of Zhongzhou was imminent, Zhang Yanjin did not delay in Yulin. He took the victims and began to rush from Yulin to Zhongzhou. Give pointers.

Although it is very troublesome to transfer these victims back from Datong and Yulin in Xizhou, these people have learned some skills during this period of time in Zhang Yanjin's factory, and many of them can go to work directly without training.

The first thing Zhang Yanjin wanted to do was to build a brick firing yard in Luoyang, and then built a cement factory next to it.

Luoyang is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, so it is very convenient to obtain materials for the red brick factory and cement factory, and there is no cost.

Thanks to the advice of the workers brought from Zhang Wuyi, Zhang Yanjin didn't need to worry about the red brick factory and cement factory, so Zhang Yanjin began to plan the Peony Garden non-stop.

"I can introduce water into the peony garden during construction." Yuwen Shangkai stared at the waterway on the map of Luoyang and said calmly.

He is a person who follows local conditions and pays attention to the whole. Now that Zhang Yanjin has decided to build a peony garden here, he has incorporated the plan of establishing the peony garden into the overall planning of Luoyang City.

Zhang Yanjin nodded, as if suddenly thinking of something, said: "I'm afraid the design of the Peony Garden will require a lot of twists and turns."

Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste.He must plan well first, so that there will be less trouble afterwards.

The peony garden of [-] mu of land is by no means a small matter that can be changed at will. It involves soil, watering, and drainage issues.

Luoyang is close to the Yellow River, so gardens can be built according to the potential of the water.The most important thing is that he is not satisfied with just building the Peony Garden into a base that can only cultivate peonies. Wouldn’t such a beautiful peony garden be used as a base for planting flowers?

He wants to build the Peony Garden into the largest art garden in the Wei Dynasty. At that time, he can cultivate it while attracting tourists to visit and make the best use of it.

In this way, there are many problems involved.

A garden cannot be made without water, a garden cannot be made without trees, and a garden cannot be made without stones.If you want to build a good garden, you must first handle the relationship between water and wood. Put it in his peony garden, that is to handle the relationship between water and peony flowers.

Secondly, it is necessary to handle the relationship between flowers and stones.Different from the carpet-like lawn in Western art, stones are indispensable in Chinese garden art. There is a kind of tranquility in the pile of stones, which also represents Eastern art.Later, the "dry landscape" of Buddhist Zen was introduced into Japanese garden art. This kind of dry landscape is an art with stone as the theme.

The third is the relationship between trees and flowers, flowers and grass. Flowers must have green leaves to match, and the garden should pay attention to matching to show its beauty.

Of course, there is also the relationship between lights and flower shadows. There is a warm beauty in the daytime, and a quiet beauty under the flower shadows at night, so the light and shadow design also needs a lot of effort.

It even involves the issue of the four seasons. If it is properly designed, it will be full of flowers in spring, banana corridor in summer, red Polygonum reed pond in autumn, and plum shadow and snow moon in winter.Different periods have different aesthetic feelings, which make people linger and forget to return.

Zhang Yanjin only knows superficially about these things. He believes that although Yuwen Shangkai also understands this knowledge, it may be only a rough idea. When it comes to artistic design issues, it is better to find talents who specialize in garden design.

"What do you think should be a better design?" Yuwen Shangkai did not know much about planting, and even lacked practice. Seeing that Zhang Yanjin was in deep thought, he asked carefully.

Zhang Yanjin shook his head and said: "The design of the peony garden is probably better to find craftsmen who specialize in garden design. I want to make the peony garden the number one garden in the Wei Dynasty. In the future, not only can flowers and plants be cultivated in it, but it can also attract tourists. Come to visit, so that people can enjoy the joy of mountains, rivers, forests and springs without stepping into the mountains."

Of course, certain benefits can also be collected in it.However, Zhang Yanjin only said this sentence silently in her heart, and did not say it directly.

The Peony Garden covers an area of ​​[-] mu, and it is fully capable of achieving the realm of "getting the joy of mountains and rivers without going out of the city, and enjoying the fun of forests and springs while living in a busy city".He believes that no matter who is a garden design genius, he has the ambition to show his skills in such a vast land, creating the beauty of small bridges and flowing water, white walls and black tiles, winding paths leading to secluded places, twists and turns, easy walking and scenery, and endless changes.

That being the case, why doesn't he recruit design experts everywhere?

Yuwen Shangkai pondered for a while, and said: "This is indeed a bit tricky. The Great Wei Dynasty has never had a peony garden like this, and the imperial garden in the palace is the most well-designed, but the peony garden is much bigger than the imperial garden. , it may be difficult to find craftsmen responsible for the design."

He was silent for a while, and then changed the subject: "But if it is really built, it must be passed down through the ages."

What Yuwen Shangkai said is not an exaggeration. The craftsmen who come to design must not only understand design, but also knowledge such as geography and Fengshui, so as to achieve perfection.

"There must be such talents in Da Wei's population." Zhang Yanjin said directly the method he had just thought of: "It is really not easy for us to find them, but it will be much easier if we can let them find us. "

"Erlang has a good solution?" Yuwen Shangkai asked in surprise.

Zhang Yanjin smiled confidently and said: "Qingqing Zijin, I am so relaxed. But for the sake of the king, I have pondered it until now. I want to issue an order to seek talents, and hire talents in this field to be in charge of the design of the peony garden!"

"Good idea!" Huang Xiujun pushed the door and walked in, praising.

Yuwen Shangkai's frown also relaxed, he smiled and said: "It is said that Erlang has a flexible mind and can find a new way to do everything. Today, it seems that it is true. Since the recruitment of talents can use the order of seeking talents, why do we recruit craftsmen?" Can't you use the order of seeking merit?"

The more he talked, the more he felt that Zhang Yanjin's method was good. He smiled and sighed: "I really restricted my thoughts!"

"But how can I spread the news to various places?" Huang Xiujun felt a little embarrassed.

Zhang Yanjin pondered for a while and said: "The Amber Winery has already opened all over the country. I will pick a day to let the shopkeepers from all over the place hold an event to spread the news in one fell swoop. With a lot of money, there must be brave men, let alone ours." The Peony Garden is so grand and grand, it’s a good place to show off your talents, why don’t they come?”

"Okay!" Huang Xiujun and Yuwen Shangkai agreed after hearing the words.

Ten days later, Zhang Yanjin used the post station to spread the virtuous decree written by him, and marked the bait. After the design is successful, he can get ten thousand gold.Even those who are willing to try, can get subsidies for travel expenses at amber wineries in various places.

Of course, Zhang Yanjin invested such a large amount of money at once, of course he wanted to make the best use of it.He also wrote another recruitment information in it, that is, Peony Garden still needs skilled craftsmen, and any talented craftsman can come and have a try, and he will hire them with a lot of money.

All of a sudden, the whole country was shocked by Zhang Yanjin's merit-seeking decree. Since ancient times, there have been people who spread the merit-seeking decree in order to seek talents for governing the country, but they have never seen anyone who spread the merit-seeking decree in order to seek skilled craftsmen.

What everyone talked about after dinner was what Zhang Yanjin said, "Qingqing Zijin, my heart is leisurely. But for the sake of the king, I have pondered it so far" and "Get the pleasure of mountains and rivers without going out of the city, and enjoy the fun of forests and springs in the downtown area" .
