He planted peonies in the Tang Dynasty

At that time, the grain in the south of the Yangtze River had not yet been shipped, and the water boats from Biankou had already set off for Yangzhou. The Yellow River was dry, and the riverbed of the Bian River was exposed.

The courtyard newly surrounded by an earthen wall and several newly built wooden houses are the places where everyone plans to celebrate the New Year.Looking at the courtyard gate during the day, there are no red flowers and green willows except for the thin river, the barren woods and a few earthen warehouses.

Su An heard from an old Confucianist that in the Eastern Han Dynasty, in order to curb the disaster caused by the overflow of the Yellow River through the Bian River, Emperor Guangwu sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers to build the Bian Canal embankment, and erected a water gate every ten miles, costing tens of billions. The canal flows into the Huaihe River, and Emperor Yangdi conscripted more than a million men and women from various counties in Henan to open the canal. However, as the water volume decreased, it became silted up in the dry season.

A dam is like a mud wall in the eyes of the township and county people. It is formed by clamping two wooden boards into a mold and filling the middle with soil. However, it is not easy to prevent floods during the flood season and raise the water level during the dry season. of.

Fortunately, there is Li Daoyong, who never holds the "Shui Jing Zhu" in his hand, but uses the method of building blocks to perfection.

Once you touch the raw material, step on the mud with a boot, you can know how much soil and how much sand you eat; secondly, you can tell the distance by comparing the tree branches with the shadow of the sun, and the error is not within a hundred and one; Working hours, fifty or sixty types of craftsmen, seventy or eighty processes, drawn on paper, clearly marked, so that people can understand them all; four-related laws and regulations are more detailed and comprehensive, delays in work, absenteeism, stealing materials, fornication, etc. All are displayed in order to prevent problems before they happen.

Seeing Li Daoyong pulling Gu Yue in and out, getting mud on his trouser legs during the day, annotating on the blueprints at night, and sometimes even sending official documents overnight, Su An couldn't imagine that they were still reciting poems in Wufenglou not long ago right.

Fortunately, New Year's Eve is approaching, although there is no place to play, everyone has something to work on, and lives a fulfilling life. For example, regarding the banquet, Ji Yun is responsible for buying vegetables and cooking, and Su An invites Ying to arrange the song "Battle in the River Yin" .

Every time she picks up a pen and wants to memorize the score, Su An feels a little emotional again.Facing the imprints of pen and ink, the first thing I understood was the seven tones of the Yanyue half-character spectrum, then the symbols used by Su Shiba to record black money, and finally, the serious characters.

And most of these serious words are related to the river water. Qujiang published "Immortals Staying Guest", Cangzhou Yongji Canal published "Wolfing Niucheng", Youzhou Sanggan River published "Broken Array", Luohe River in Luoyang published "Neon Clothes", river Yinbian River...

"Feng Su, on New Year's Day, it looks like we won't be able to return to Luoyang, can you tell Changting about this sheet music?"

It's the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the seven-day repairing ceremony is about to begin. Ji Yun takes out the treasures he brought from Luoyang earlier, and organizes the officials to arrange the courtyard. Paper.

Su An said with a smile: "What I wrote belongs to the half-character of the string, which is dedicated to the five strings. It is a low-level skill. There is nothing to say." Sitting opposite Ji Yun, he also picked up the fine hair, and wrote the flying posts one by one: "You It’s writing, I’m writing too, just talking.”

Su An thought for a while, handed the pipa to Le Tong, pointed to the first line, and said: "The half-character score is simple and easy to understand, and it is divided into two parts: mode and rhythm. B is the seven tones from low to high."

Ji Yun paused his pen: "Shouldn't we remember Gongshangjiao Zhengyu?" Su An said: "If the font is too complicated, how many musicians can understand it? "Book of Rites" is the only way to remember that." Ji Yun nodded: " What should I do if it is higher than these seven tones?" Su An said: "A group of seven tones forms the base tone, if it is higher, add '亻' next to it, and if it is lower, the last stroke will be written downward." The Le boy next to him is named Ami, eight years old, well-behaved and sensible, playing the strings for Ji Yun to demonstrate one by one.

When the rest of the officials heard the commotion, they also ran over to watch. For a while, the remote and desolate courtyard became lively.

Su An smiled and faced everyone: "For example, Zhihe, after finding the construction site, you have to grasp the timing, memorize the music, and after selecting the notes, you have to rely on punctuation to control the rhythm. This is the "ban" and "eye". '."

The originally quiet characters, after the explanation, immediately came alive, as if standing up from the score.Su An knocked on the table with the pen holder at will, one heavy and three light, and said in his mouth: "One board and three eyes, that is, board, eye, eye, eye."

In this way, those solid or hollow circles jump out of the paper, you look at me, I look at you, they are actually dancing.You can dance in the Linde Hall, and you can dance in the Huae Tower. Here, even a few feet of dust can be made into gold powder, and you can dance lightly.

Seeing the round mouths of everyone, Su An was puzzled, could it be that he has the talent to teach art?It was also at this time that a burst of lively footsteps came from outside the door, and Gu Yue returned to the post from the river, falling into the joy of everyone.

Gu Yue took off his coir raincoat: "What are you talking about?" Ji Yun got up immediately, and said back: "Su Priest suggested that on New Year's Eve, let's bring all the pepper wine from Qiu County magistrate's office." Gu Yue smiled: "Yes!"

Here, the real hard-working person is Li Daoyong.His family was close to Luoyang, but he gritted his teeth and persisted until the end of the new year. He did not go back even once. Finally, before repairing the Mu, he completed the construction of materials such as civil engineering, stone, iron, and engineering details.

On the night of the New Year's Eve, the Nuo-chasing team wandered through the villages, like gleaming dragons, walking across the mountains and rivers.

The scent of prickly ash wafted through the small pavilion, and firecrackers were hung under the eaves. Le Tong scrambled to light the fire, and was blown to tears at the end.

The red lanterns in the long corridor illuminated the faces of the people passing by, and a square table was placed on the couch, with seven or eight people sitting around it.In front of everyone, there is a pile of paper with plum blossoms on a broken gold background, which is specially used for celebrating the New Year, symbolizing the amount of communication between the court and China.

Li Daoyong ordered his own, and there were only about thirty letters, which was even less than the county magistrate Qiu, and he sighed again and again.Gu Yue was very witty, he had already asked Ji Yun to help him pile up Fei Tie Quan and Su An's, so no one knew who was better.

"That won't work, they are all open-minded people." Li Daoyong protested as expected, "Just order to tear down the posts, how about it?"

"Okay, why not." Su An personally put on Qi Caijin's new clothes and tiger head hats for a few happy children, and then took the seat, picked up the small copper pot and filled it for Li Daoyong, looked at Gu Yue and said, " County magistrate Qiu, Langzhong Li, Lang Ji, if you don’t believe me, although Su and Gu Lang have worshiped incense at the Taile Office and are like brothers, they have never celebrated the New Year together.”

Gu Yue smiled and had to punish himself with a drink.

While talking, Ji Yun came to a five-spicy plate containing five spicy vegetables, and a red candle stood in the center.Su An made a rule on the spot, hit the plate to pass flowers, and when the order ends, the flower winner must take out the flying post in front of him and read it to everyone, otherwise if he wants to hide it, he will have to eat one dish from the Wuxin plate.Li Daoyong and Qiu Zhong agreed.

As a result, after seven or eight rounds, all kinds of secret contacts were uncovered, and Li Daoyong himself could not escape being investigated. In order to ask He Shilang for a flying invitation, he put onions, garlic, leeks, Polygonum wormwood, and mustard into bowls I poured it down, buried my head and took a few big mouthfuls.

Gu Yue picked up a flyer from Wang Tingfu from Taiyuan Mansion, in addition to the four characters of "Universal Celebration", it was also filled with complaints about the troublesome process of building a warehouse, and decisively ate a whole bowl of leeks.Therefore, everyone envied Su Gongfeng very much. From Li Gelao, Cui Dianzhong, Shou Wang, down to the brothers at home, they could all read it openly.

Su An was also very happy, until he opened another flyer and wrote "Leave alone for ten years to see the peony flowers".He was stunned, moved the lower left end inch by inch, and when he saw the name of the person celebrating the new year, he silently rubbed it into his palm——Pengze County, Yiyuan

Gu Yue said: "Who is this?" Su An's eyes fell on the red candle, and he smiled: "It's nothing, an old friend."

At two or three o'clock, firecrackers blared from all directions, and a year of keeping up with the New Year was spent amidst the joyful songs and laughter in this shabby room.The song said: A big river opens the dragon gate, two-leaf flat boats float and sink, three-way waterways have wind and smoke, and the river of all battles does not wait for people.

In the first lunar month, the water of the Bian River gradually filled up. Listening to the sound of the water, Su An recalled the music he composed stroke by stroke, and recorded it in "Yuefu Xianlu" with half-character notation. At the same time, Henan government and Zhengzhou convened three Thousands of laborers came to Heyin County to rush to build dams, of which the cost was nearly one million, and the power to use them all fell into the operation of the Transshipment Department.

If he hadn't personally seen Gu Yue take a rest every night at three o'clock, issue hundreds of customs and letters every day, download dozens of runes, and even refuse to eat, and discuss politics with Cao officials in the posthouse, Su An would never understand why Gu Yue To have such a ridiculous dream.

For that piece of charcoal fire, a house, Gu Yue, who asked for everything in every detail, was wearing a vermilion official robe and a black gauze on his head. When he was sitting in front of the official case, a check, a seal, and a few jokes were enough. Tens of thousands of livelihoods.

Gu Yue acted like walking on thin ice, not daring to make half a step wrong.

The starting time for grain in the south of the Yangtze River is the first month or February of each year. After gathering in Yangzhou, it often needs to be blocked for more than a month when the canal is dry and shallow. month, in the case that festival-level transshipment has not yet been popularized, it will take June to reach the confluence of the Bian River and the Yellow River.

The deadline for building dams is far from being able to be extended to the flood season in June and July. There is still a saying in the sages' books, "In a country with a thousand chariots, respect things and be trustworthy, use frugally and love others, so that the people can use their time." What's more, March It is the time for rice planting in the various states of Henan Province. In order not to delay the diversion of water for rice planting and avoid conflicts with Sinong Temple, the dam must be completed before this time.

However, the working hours, which were originally calculated as just right, changed again in mid-March. A batch of measuring tools used to test the strength of the soil foundation were robbed by bandits on the mountain road, and more than [-] people died because of the labor labor responsible for transporting them. .

The tree wants to be calm and the wind does not stop.

Therefore, after the fighting with weapons and the shipwreck, the Transshipment Department encountered another uncoordinated contradiction—the completion period

Li Daoyong made it clear that the readjustment of measuring tools can only be completed in May, otherwise the consequences of cutting corners and materials will be disastrous.

This is not only a contradiction between the Transshipment Department and the local prefectures and counties, or the capital water supervision department and the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I am very anxious to build the dam first or plant the land first.

Li Dao smiled wryly, Zhang Ge always had a combination of toughness and softness, while Pei Ge's old dragon seemed to have only rigidity.After some discussion, Gu Yue also said that they absolutely couldn't bear the responsibility, so they had no choice but to record the situation first.

Gu Yue settled down, and in front of Li Daoyong, he wrote a letter to the Ministry of Water, roughly saying: "Mr. Li, are we sure there is no way to hurry up?" Li Daoyong also took up his pen to reply, his tone Very formal: "The amount of water in the Yellow River has been indefinite since ancient times. If you want to go faster, I'm afraid it will be a waste of effort." Gu Yue put down his pen and nodded.

Although it has been a long time ago, Gu Yue still remembers what Xiao Qiaofu said at the flower feast in the apricot garden. As long as you have the changes in the world and the people in your heart, and understand the truth behind the rules, you will be in harmony with politics.

It's like there are still a few thorns in the thousands of threads, and he can't express it clearly, and he won't tolerate it.

Nothing but three.

On the second day after the incident, the construction of the Heyin embankment was still underway. Men, women and children, old and young, came and went, sweating like rain, red, white and white, like tens of billions of red and white guard birds, carrying branches and stones from the west mountain. Fill up the East China Sea.

Gu Yue ordered a stone pillar to be erected at the entrance of the embankment, sat in the supervisor's shed nearby, and summoned Sicang from eight nearby prefectures, including Henan Prefecture and Zhengzhou.The eight green robes, with their heads bowed, whispered to each other, breathing secretly.

More than a hundred family members of laborers who died in transporting measuring tools paraded in the market on both sides of the river, holding up banners, crying and fighting.

"Henan Mansion Sicang, Fang Wencheng." Gu Yue took a sip of tea and smoothed the folds of the red robe on his knees, "Is he here?"

Note: Those seven tones are now DoRuiMiFaSoLaXiDo, plus radicals and apostrophes, which are high octaves and low octaves.In the Tang Dynasty, the art was basically passed on by the master to teach the apprentices, precepts and deeds. In this way, music scores were not common among the people. This is the reason why most of the Daqu at that time were not handed down completely. They were treasured in the palace. The fire burns out.
