Ma'am, is there someone out there?

In mid-November, Du Zhong, the prefect of Qingzhou, visited the General's Mansion again.

This time, he came for Qingheshui.

"Ma'am, I have thought about it many times, and the Qinghe water conservancy must be rebuilt." Du Zhong is determined to do this, and he, Du Zhong, must complete the things that have not been done in the past few times.

Establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the unique knowledge for the prosperity of the past, and create peace for all generations.He, Du Zhong Han Chuang, studied hard for twenty years, and sold his studies to the emperor's family, not for a hundred thousand snowflakes.He has the ambition of being a historian in his heart, and he has worries about the beauty of his son. He pretends in his heart that it is how the thousands of people and the people will make the land under his rule live and work in peace.

Du Zhong bowed to Jishou again, Shen Qing didn't expect it, this is the heaviest kneeling ceremony, he couldn't bear it, Shen Qing quickly helped him up, please take the seat.

"Please magistrate, please don't hurt me." Shen Qing said, "I live in Qingzhou, and I can be regarded as a citizen of Qingzhou. This Qingzhou is also the place where I will live in the next few decades, so I naturally want it to become better. This is not only for Others are doing it for themselves. But Governor Du please don't be too polite."

The topography of Qingzhou is high in the west and low in the east, with west mountains rising high into the clouds, where the Qinghe River originates, flows eastward from Qingzhou, flows into the Yangtze River, and passes through a large plain in the middle.

In the upper reaches of the Qinghe River, the water flow is turbulent all the way, and its momentum is fast. It brings a lot of sand and gravel from the West Mountain. The Qinghe River has nine twists and turns. The silt, sand and gravel from the upper and lower belts are deposited here, silting up the river course and causing great safety hazards.Once the rain is sufficient, it is easy to break the embankment.

In the past, the practice was to keep raising the embankments. This law only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. The embankments are increased year by year, and the sediment in the river is accumulated day by day, and the danger of flooding is increasing day by day. Today, the embankment has been raised to a dangerous figure. , Once the embankment breaks, tens of thousands of homes and tens of thousands of fertile fields in Qingzhou will be submerged, which is in danger.

It is not that the prefect of Qingzhou has not thought of changing this situation for many years, but one is that the project is huge and difficult to control, and once it changes, it will often bring disaster to the people; Subsidies; the third is the lack of talents who can manage water, and there are very few people who can control water. Those who can compare with Dayu and Li Bing are much better in the world.

What can be done is to heighten and strengthen the embankment, but it is impossible to control the river water fundamentally and completely eliminate floods.

"For this water control, whether the imperial court can help Qingzhou or not, but with the support of the wife and the general's mansion, the first step of water control is guaranteed. The biggest difficulty now is to find someone who can manage it." Du Zhong frowned deeply. , which is the hardest thing to do.He believed that Shen Qing would definitely help him with funds and manpower, and with the support of the General's Mansion, he would get twice the result with half the effort.

But where to find this man?

"I heard that Li Bingyi's family learned the methods of their ancestors, and there are some descendants who are very knowledgeable about water conservancy. Prefect Du might as well start from here." Shen Qing pondered for a while, and said to Du Zhong.Shen Qing was not sure if this news was reliable or not, he only came to this ancient time to hear about this descendant of Li Bing.

According to modern society, Li Bing only had two daughters, and the so-called son is a fiction, but in this dynasty, there are stories of Li Bing's descendants leading the whole family to live in seclusion in the mountains.People often come out and say that they have met Li Bing's descendants, etc., and many anecdotes.

Because of uncertainty, Shen Qing said: "But I can't be sure whether this matter is true or not. The magistrate should start from two roads. On the one hand, he is looking for capable people in the world. Looking for Li Bing's descendants. How does the magistrate feel?"

Du Zhifu stroked his beard and said, "That's what Madam said." The rainy season in Qingzhou falls in May during the rainy season and June and July when there are frequent heavy rains, and spring droughts are common in spring, so Qinghe must be rebuilt before the rainy season in May. just work.

"Du must do his best to handle this matter well." After Du Zhifu finished speaking, he left.

Coming in a hurry, leaving in a hurry.

Shen Qing looked at Eucommia's hurried back, a little admired for such a seemingly reckless man but actually had great ambitions.Shen Qing thought that he could not achieve this ambition of being an official and the people.All he did was to do his best to give more people a little thought.

He is a modern person, he does not have the heart of the ancients to protect his family, defend the country and worry about the country and the people, and he is just an ordinary person in modern times.He just came from the end of the world, and after seeing the warmth and coldness of people and the parting of life and death, he still cherishes life.

He knows the suffering in this world, but he never forgets hope.

Shen Qing smiled wryly, what was he suddenly thinking about.Right now it's fine.

--------------------------

On the bustling street, there are people coming and going, and a few children on the bank of the Qinghe River are kicking shuttlecocks. Xiaobao sits on a stone bench under a willow tree and watches other children play.He also wanted to play together, but a shuttlecock cost a copper coin, Xiao Bao reached into his bosom to dig out, rubbed the copper coin in his bosom repeatedly, but was still reluctant.A steamed bun is worth a penny.

Xiaobao thought, let daddy make one when he goes back home, he heard that chicken feathers are needed to make a shuttlecock, and daddy can catch big fat chickens, ah, but daddy doesn't seem to know how to make a shuttlecock.

Dad can't do anything!Xiao Bao hugged his head in horror, his father couldn't make delicious chicken, he couldn't make shuttlecocks, and he couldn't tie braids. Xiao Bao made his own braids.

Daddy what will you do?

ah!That's... Xiaobao jumped down, he knew what Daddy would do.Daddy has a beautiful sword, and what he knows best is sword dancing!

Little Treasure ran down and jumped onto the big rock in the shallow water area. On the mudflat not far away, sand emerged from the hilt of a sword, and when it was illuminated by the sun, it reflected a silvery white light.That sword hilt belonged to his father!

Xiaobao's arm was too short, so he moved forward a little bit, and it was just a little bit far enough... Just as Xiaobao found a pole and was trying to pick it in, a hand appeared behind him, It even passed him and reached directly.

Xiaobao's eyes followed that hand all the way to see that it was a ten-year-old boy who was kicking the shuttlecock just now.The boy had noticed Xiaobao early on, and seeing him staring at him eagerly, he felt quite refreshed, but he didn't know for a while, Xiaobao disappeared, and the boy looked around, only to find that Xiaobao had climbed onto the rock, just within reach. What.The young man was curious, so he walked over, seeing that little treasure was having a hard time, he got a bad idea, went past little treasure and snatched the things directly.

It was only when I got it in my hand that I realized it was a long sword. It looked like a good thing, and I don't know how much it can sell for.

"This is my father's." Xiaobao summoned up his courage and said.This person is too bad, no matter how he can snatch it, he will get it.

The boy said arrogantly: "What I picked up is mine." The little boy still wanted to fight with him for something.

"I..." Xiaobao's voice weakened. Xiaobao, who was only four years old, couldn't argue with the other party at all.

Seeing that the boy wanted so much, the young man wanted to tease him.He raised his chin and said contemptuously to Xiaobao: "You can if you want. Here, you go and fight with him. If you win, I will belong to you."

The young man casually pointed to a child watching the excitement on the shore, Xiaobao looked there, comforting himself in his heart, fortunately, he was only a head taller than himself and half his body stronger, Xiaobao, Xiaobao could win the fight.

When they landed, the young man scratched a piece of the ground casually, and asked Xiao Bao to fight the little fat man.That little fat man was originally two years older than Xiao Bao, and also stronger and stronger than Xiao Bao. Xiao Bao had a hard time fighting him, and was repeatedly overwhelmed by the little fat man.

But the sword belonged to his father, Xiaobao gritted his teeth, and slammed into the opponent fiercely, the little fat man didn't expect Xiaobao to suddenly become ruthless, with such great strength, he was pushed back, fell back, and sat on the ground with a slap on his buttocks. It's like a bastard who just flipped the lid and can't get up.

Xiao Bao got up from the ground, out of breath, his clothes were torn, but his eyes were shining brightly at the boy.

The young man sneered, scolded a fool for lying to you, and led a group of children away one after the other.

Little Treasure's originally excited interest froze in an instant, tears welled up in his sparkling eyes, and he pursed his mouth aggrievedly.

He trotted a few steps and followed the young man, seeing the young man entering a pawn shop with a sword, and coming out with only silver.

That sword was actually sold by the boy.
