He planted peonies in the Tang Dynasty

Su An remembers deeply that on a summer night many years ago, he was as green as Haiqing, and Gu Yue was standing beside the swing, wearing a plain shirt, and in those clear willow-leaf eyes, there was a spark that would never go out. The lights of thousands of households.

Su An floated back and sat back on the side of the bridge railing: "Burning Tail Banquet, I've finished listening to "Luoyang Road", and I'll play "Neon Clothes" for you again."

He arranged the sequence of nineteen episodes and seventeen beats, and finally chose three sets. One set was played for Lin Zhenzhen and Lin Ye. Yes, with the soft and mellow minor tune of Yunmengze in Chudi, there is another set for Lei Haiqing, Shangyin Dashi tune, dancing and gorgeous, painting the Western Paradise.

Gu Yue didn't know the chords, he only sighed secretly that in February and March in the Liyuan, Su An turned into another person completely.When he put down the pipa, his language was sharp and his attitude was shrewd and practical. When he picked up the pipa, he was mesmerized and unsullied. Thousands of kinds, looking forward to life.

Su An rubbed the strings, looked at Gu Yue, and asked, "Eighteen, is there a place to live in Luoyang? Or just live in my house?" Gu Yue coughed, "I'm going to Heyin County." Su An An laughed and said, "A neighboring county is only a few miles away, isn't it on the border between Henan Prefecture and Zhengzhou, you are busy during the day, and come to have a feast at night." Gu Yue said, "Su Mo knows."

Gu Yue couldn't tell how hard he was.

The moon falling in Luoshui swayed all the way to the east, turning from a ball into a hook, chasing the Milky Way falling in the sky, flowing through the stone bridge hole in Shouan County, crossing Wuling overnight, and looking at the magnificent Wufeng Tower.

Within a month, a rune from the Ministry of Households was sent, and the three counties of Sishui, Wuzhi, and Xingze were merged into Heyin. There are more than ten earth warehouses measured by [-] stones.

However, Gu Yue accompanied Su An and stood at the foot of the picturesque Longmen Mountain. In the end, he gave up the opportunity to socialize with celebrities in Tokyo, and set off with You Huanzhi and Li Daoyong for the Yellow River and Bianhe (Tongji Canal) ) at the intersection of Biankou.

The successful completion of the earth warehouse is of great significance. First, the five major projects have won the first battle, which is a good start. Second, the budget is not overrun, and the civil engineering estimates are accurate, which shows that Li Dao is not old with his precious sword. Third, the workers obey the command and the county magistrate obeys the arrangement. It shows that You Huanzhi did not break his promise, and again, the Ministry of Household Affairs approved it in time, and the censor did not ask questions, which shows that Gu Yue was still popular in the court. In the end, the lovely friendship between the three men took root within a few days.

Gu Yue took care of the money; Li Dao used to repay the merits; You Huanzhi kept silent, observing while still thinking about Luoyang City.

The Supreme Li Longji in the city, almost emptied himself, allowed the transfer envoy to show his hands, ignored him, and even issued a decree-this autumn, order the governors within three hundred miles to lead the musicians to gather under the Wufeng Tower , each wins or loses

So, a small thing happened quietly, that is, from then on, Qiu Zhong, the magistrate of Heyin County, no longer took charge of the public office, measurement, kitchen, warehouse and rent of the national water transport in this river section. Yin segment transfer department.

July, Biankou.

The scorching sun was shining on the land and the river, and there were dizzying heat waves everywhere.The densely packed boats, like bees rushing out of a roasted honeycomb, are crowded in the turbulent river, competing to enter the Yellow River.

Gu Yue and Li Daoyong, under the joint leadership of Cang, Hu, and Shi Sancao from Henan Prefecture, inspected three or four ferries and five or six shipyards in sequence, and started the two follow-up projects of planning ferries and developing ships without stopping.

Several people were wearing three layers of official robes as required, and it was extremely hot.Shi Cao's face was covered with sweat, and he said: "In the past, June and July were the flood season of the Yellow River, and it was difficult for water boats to enter the river, and it was blocked until autumn. When there were too many people and boats, the capacity of the waterway would be exceeded. According to the new "Water Transport Law", Bianhe boats will no longer enter the Yellow River, and transport grain and grass to Heyin warehouse, and then forwarded from Heyin warehouse to Luokou Hanjia warehouse, which dredges the river. .”

Li Daoyong blushed from the sun, rolled up his sleeves, and praised the craftsmen in the dock with a happy expression: "Well, this scene is once in a thousand years, and it is just around the corner!" The craftsman nodded: "In my opinion, this method can be changed again, for example The Yellow River is turbulent, so there are bulges on both sides of the boat, which is conducive to stability, and it is like the wide water section of the Bian River..."

At this moment, under the bright sun, Gu Yue interrupted with a smile: "I know a thing or two about using Taki boats for turbulent currents and Wu boats for flat currents." Li Daoyong said, "How did Gu Lang know that this is called a 'Taki boat'." Gu Yue said: "I heard about it when I was in Yongji Canal." After finishing speaking, he suddenly supported the boat plank next to him, and his whole body shook for a while.Li Daoyong: "Gu Lang?"

Gu Yue suffered from heat stroke.When he went back to bed, the recorder was holding the "Shui Jing Zhu" in his hand, and Ji Yun was holding the medicine soup in his hand.

Gu Yue left Ji Yun behind.

Yesterday, Ji Yun reported to him the cause of the fighting. Initial investigation revealed that a farmer fanned the flames and publicized in three counties the unfair distribution of the imperial government's land-filling grain and pay, and provoked riots in several townships to compete for warehouse sites.

However, Ji Yun did not pursue those earthworks and stone materials that disappeared, but followed the family relationship of this farmer to an official house in Gong'anfang, Luoyang City. Cang joined the army.

Gu Yue rubbed his temples with his fingers: "Go ahead." Ji Yun said: "If the county no longer takes care of the water transportation, there will be a piece of fat missing in the bowl of the army joining the army. Presumably, he deliberately caused trouble to let the transportation department magistrate Difficult to retreat."

Gu Yue said: "So, should we retreat?" Ji Yun looked up and saw that Gu Yue's face was pale and his lips didn't even have a trace of blood. There is no need to retreat, but if you don't retreat, then the transfer will be carried out next, and the power of the bridges, boats and vehicles will be moved, lest they will pick quarrels and cause trouble again."

Gu Yue smiled, and took the bowl from Ji Yun's hand: "Okay, no matter how hard you work, go to Luoyang to find out who Fang Canjun is on good terms with, whether this matter has anything to do with Youfu Yin, and besides, where is Xie Yusha? Don't worry about the three things, take your time."

After Ji Yun left, Gu Yue stirred the medicine spoon in the bowl round by round, afraid of bitter taste, he put it aside and refused to eat.He rested on the couch for a while, and when he got up he was in better spirits, so he asked the recorder to invite You Huanzhi to Henan Mansion in Luoyang.

When You Huanzhi arrived, Gu Yue had already changed his official robe, and was sitting in front of the desk, holding a pen in his left hand, tirelessly writing a letter.

Gu Yue asked Pei Yaoqing for instructions on who to employ, and wanted to select a few officials from Henan Prefecture to be transferred to the Transit Department of Heyin Section as a buffer. Dispose of it again.

"Brother Huan, these seats are still vacant here, I would like to ask you to recommend them." Gu Yue looked at You Huanzhi and said frankly, "Although the Transshipment Department belongs to the imperial court, it also needs a certain proportion of state officials. , to work."

The breeze blows through the bamboo curtains, and the sandalwood fragrance floats all over the room.You Huanzhi turned his back, clenched his hands into fists, and sighed with a smile: "Young people are awesome, Gu Lang really played chess well." Gu Yue said: "To show sincerity to brother Huan, you can't just show your words." You Huanzhi Huan Zhi responded, "Although I don't want to be driven by Mr. Pei Ge, I really admire his courage."

This time is different from the past, Gu Yue is very clear that he is in the open, step by step implementing the Water Transport Law, while his opponent is in the dark, always trying to create chaos and modify the law to benefit him.

As the deputy envoy of transshipment, the transshipment department guarding the Heyin section must not change the principles just because a county magistrate was frightened to death or hundreds of villagers fought with each other.

However, the system is dead, but people are alive.Gu Yue's idea was to invite those who opposed him in the dark to come to the bright side in a graceful manner, which can be said to turn enemies into friends, which not only reduced conflicts, but also established a system.

In a few days, the approved rune went down, and Gu Yue's title in the mouth of his colleagues was no longer that of the old moon, but a title that was more elegant, more vivid, and more connotative - Heyin County Shoucangyun Food General

Since he gave up this move, the process suddenly accelerated. Gu Yue's condition improved a little, and he returned to the Biankou construction site. He and Li Daoyong took turns to supervise the local officials, organized the unloading and loading of the tank boats at each ferry, and replaced the old ones with new ones.

In the morning, the horns sounded, and at the end of the Bianhe River, sailboats from the Jianghuai River poured in overwhelmingly.

Whenever Gu Yue stood by the river and looked in the direction of Luoyang from a distance, he could see countless thick rhizomes, trying their best to absorb nutrients from the soil and send them into the petals and flower cores, so surging, so no complaints. regret.

Until mid-September, unexpected disasters struck.

Just as the ferry was being transshipped and the transformation of the tank boats was in full swing, a row of gift boats that came for the Wufenglou Music Contest ran aground at the ferry planned by Gu Yue and Li Daoyong, and all the cargo was damaged. There were also embroideries paid tribute by the governors along the way. For a while, rumors about the ominous transshipment spread everywhere, alarming Luoyang.

Gu Yue, You Huanzhi, and Li Daoyong, the three brothers who were targeted by the public, were forced to suspend the construction work, stop the plan of building dams and dredging ditches, explain Guan Wen to the Ministry of Rites in parallel, and return to Luoyang City to plead guilty to the nobles.

Above Luoshui, the wind is sunny and the autumn scenery is very good.

In this way, even if he came to plead guilty, it seemed to be full of wit and wit.Li Dao supported his back, pointed at the golden smoke in the south, patted Gu Yue on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Just treat it as a general who disarms and returns to the field, and goes home to relax for a while before serving the country!" You Huanzhi Nodded: "That's right, let's go to Fuchu for three drinks, so what if you admit it?"

Gu Yue smiled wryly, and said something from the bottom of his heart: "When Gu was in the Ministry of Rites, it was bitterly cold in northern Saibei and famine in Songzhou. Gu left the Ministry of Rites, repaired clothes in Liyuan, and held music competitions in Luoyang. It's a pity that the world has missed it, but this is it!"

Luoyang, Tokyo, a place bathed in the moisture of Luoshui for thousands of years, is not a city, but a dream.

Take a boat from Luoshui River into the city, pass through three beautifully carved flower bridges of goddesses, red lacquered green trees, high attics, and neighborhoods are gradually unfolded on the north and south banks.Looking further to the west, a majestic palace with a square bottom floor and a round top floor surrounded by Kowloon sculptures soars into the sky, looking down on the world.

"Gu Lang, that is the Vientiane Shrine."

The three of them set foot on the north bank, and there were many taboos among wanderers, and Li Daoyong didn't like banquets, so after discussing, they handed over the task of apologizing to the governors of various states and nobles of various families, and clearing up the crux of the problem, to the talented and beautiful Gu Yue.

When Gu Yue was doing business, he had a lot of contacts, and there were many friends he could contact, so he had to bite the bullet and agree.

Afterwards, when Ji Yun came to pick him up, Gu Yue sent the accompanying officials away, stepped on the delicate and soft soil with his black leather boots, and let out a long sigh of relief: "Changting, how is the matter going?" Ji Yun followed behind and threw A bronze mirror.

Gu Yue picked up the mirror and took a look at himself: "Well, General Shoucang." Ji Yun said: "I've been looking for jade sand, there are top grades in the old shop in Beishi, why don't you go shopping first, and by the way, you can also buy some incense powder, Go talk to people."

It turned out that after Ji Yun arrived in Luoyang, he took his time and only completed the last thing that Gu Yue told him.

The carriage was walking in Beishi, Gu Yue didn't dare to roll the curtains, he was afraid that his appearance, which had been devastated by the scorching sun for the whole summer, would be watched by the person in his heart, even though he knew that that person should be in the Vientiane Shrine at this moment.

All the way, until Gu Yue looked through the gap between the curtains and saw the altar of gods hung with colorful silks, the red incense lingered in the altar, and the inscription on the stone wall - Beishi Silk Walking Pure Land Hall

Gu Yue smiled, and the grand scene flashed through his mind. The mountains of silk and silk were transported by water from the south of the Yangtze River to this place, and then transported by camels to the distant Tanghuang in the Western Region...

Since ancient times, green leaves have been red flowers, and now Luoyang is full of joyous songs and laughter. On both sides of the Luoshui River, there are eight gates up and down, and boats and cars are like torrents. The governors of various states have led orchestras into the city to welcome the Wufenglou competition in the golden autumn and October. Everyone is talking about it. .

When getting out of the car, Ji Yun blinked, only to see that Gu Yue's eyes were full of water, containing a heroic emotion that had never been seen before.

In the north of Luoshui, there is a bustling workshop juxtaposed with the Vientiane Shrine of Ziwei City.Guiyifang is mostly inhabited by nobles and officials, which is equivalent to Yongxing in Chang'an; there are many tea shops and music shops in Sigongfang, which is equivalent to Pingkang; while Beishi is located in the north of Jingxingfang Tongde Temple and east of Sigongfang. It is one of the three major markets in Luoyang, and there are many spices and silks.

After thousands of turns, Ji Yun led Gu Yue and stopped in front of a courtyard full of white crane orchids.Gu Yue felt apprehensive, and when he entered the door, he met an old man with wrinkled face, dark skin but delicate oily luster, named Sixie.

"Master, this jade was originally a stone for distributing medicine." Gu Yue settled down, closed the door, took out the jade body from the bag he carried with him, went through the etiquette, and said, "I warmed up because I was worried The carving on the surface is too delicate, not smooth enough, and it will scratch the skin, so I came here specially to ask about the ancient method of grinding jade."

Facing Master Sixie's serious, innocent gaze, Gu Yue finished speaking with great difficulty.

Sixie's gaze was like a torch, and his fingers stroked the grass and wood lines on the stem: "Han Eight Knives." Gu Yue said: "Made by Chang'an Miaokai." , Mr. Lang seeks to solve the problem of jade sand, if he wants to polish it smooth and smooth, it is very likely that he will destroy it." Gu Yue said: "Then destroy it."

Sixie let out a long sigh, left for a while, and brought a hammer-shaped mound covered with fine sand and stones, and handed it to Gu Yue.Gu Yue: "Master Sixie?" Sixie said: "In a lifetime, a certain person only becomes a weapon, not destroys it."

In the second half of the day, Gu Yue sat in the courtyard, borrowing the water from the well, and learning how to grind jade with Sixie.One turn, one rub, one cut, all within a few millimeters.Sixie didn't do anything, but only raised some points in words, and didn't allow Gu Yue to take the mound away until he mastered the basic skills--then, he thought about it once a day, and warmed it up once a day

At night, Gu Yue followed Ji Yun to visit many friends in Luoyang City who had passed letters in the past, and changed into a long gown embroidered with bamboo leaves, which is in fashion now, before he sent someone to deliver gifts to Su Zhai in Guiyifang——Hubu Cangbu Gu Yue, a doctor, attended the water banquet in Sigongfang, the governor of Zhuzhou, on September [-]th, hoping to enshrine Mo Fan and travel together

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The reason for this arrangement is that the polishing and polishing process of jade wares in the Tang Dynasty is not as brilliant as that of the previous and subsequent dynasties. It is also a process of pondering, which I think is quite warm.

In the fourth volume of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", the 210th order, the governors and county magistrates within three hundred miles were ordered to gather the music of the commanders of the county magistrates downstairs, and each was victorious.The governor of Huaizhou used hundreds of musicians in his car, all of whom were dressed in embroidered clothes, and the cows in the suitcases were all in the shape of tigers, leopards and rhinoceros.Lu Shan ordered Yuan Dexiu to send several musicians to sing "Yu" together.Shang said: "The people of Huaizhou are in a state of misery!" The governor was established as a loose official.Virtue, beauty, cleanliness and simplicity, all scholars and bureaucrats admire it.

Wufenglou Music Competition, well, too many interesting things happened in the 23rd year of Kaiyuan, besides water control, there are too many, too many, I will talk about it later.
