starling is not a bird

The produce in Shanglin Garden is not rich, but some game and fruits, and the crown prince’s favorite autumn hunting. Kangxi likes the crown prince, but he also likes other sons. He will bring a few with him no matter when he is going out of the fortress or patrolling the border. .

Only Shanglinyuan, he will only take the crown prince with him. The crown prince has liked this feeling of monopolizing his father since he was a child. Staying in the capital waiting for every letter from Huang Ama.

Here, the two are like father and son in a poor family, riding together, chasing the sunset in the wind together.

So when the household department made a statement, the crown prince almost jumped up to object, but after looking at the cautious face of the servant of the household department, and then at the attentive eyes of Huang Ama, he fell silent again.

In fact, the crown prince didn't like a vassal state like North Korea very much. The tributes were very shabby, and there were not many beauties who presented them. When he was strong, he kept provoking, and when he was weak, he immediately begged for mercy.

If he was making a decision, the crown prince would never care about their life and death, but Huang Ama cared about his eternal name, so he sacrificed his own Shanglinyuan, but the regret in the crown prince's heart did not know what to say to her. who told.

When the emperor was inspecting Shanxi, he passed through the drought-stricken area of ​​Hunhe River. He saw that the people were eating algae, so he asked the guards to take a copy for himself. In one place, the situation cannot be tolerated, resulting in flooding.In the past few years, when the water was flooded, the Hunhe River and the Baoding Funan River often flooded, and the banners and people's farms were submerged, which was very inappropriate.

Although Kangxi sealed the river as the Yongding River in front of the King of Korea, the emperor also knew that the flooded river would not obediently change its course into a static flow just because he changed its name.When the King of Korea was sent away, Kangxi immediately summoned Yu Chenglong, the governor of the river course, to go to Chahunhe, and ordered Wang Xinming, the former governor of the river course, to go to Chahun River in Funan, Baoding, and asked them to do a detailed survey and draw up a discussion.

This kind of drudgery happened to be seen by Babeile, who twisted the elder brother and insisted on going to Shanxi with Yu Chenglong. The elder brother frowned and said, "I really don't know what you think. There is a disaster, I don’t know how bad the situation is, it’s not worth sending you there, if you get sick, stay in Beijing well, there are some errands for you, there are also people who can show their faces in front of Huang Ama better than this, don’t worry !"

But the eighth elder brother refused: "Brother, you know me and never care about those false names. What am I doing to show my face in front of Huang Ama? Who else does Huang Ama think besides the second brother? Aren't we all little wives?" What is there to argue about, big brother can still fight for a long word, what should I fight for? Big brother, I just want to do something well, so you can help me!"

After all, Big Brother didn't let go: "Wait a minute, I have to think about it before I talk."

On the contrary, Mingzhu heard about this, and thought about it for a long time while stroking his beard at home, and went to persuade the elder brother in person, and the eighth elder brother was able to make things happen. Kui Xu also had to take it with him.

Kangxi has always loved his son, but he prefers a son who is capable and able to work. The elder brother recommends him, and the eighth elder brother recommends himself. Not only did this work, but the emperor liked it very much.

It was originally said that now that farming is booming, people cannot be used at will to serve. The emperor intends to send his subordinates to prepare their own equipment. Dozens of people went together according to the Siguan's letter. Originally, they were asked to leave within ten days, but because the eighth elder brother was going, they were allowed to leave in fifteen days.

On the third day of March, it is a good time for spring. The eighth elder brother set off for Shanxi with Yu Chenglong and Wang Xinming according to the emperor's order. Before leaving, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother both sent amulets. Wear it together with the part of the concubine Jia, I am afraid that the eighth elder brother's clothes will be covered inside and out.

At this time, Yu Chenglong was once again appointed by the emperor as the governor of the river. The 60-year-old man was still in good spirits. He looked at the eighth elder brother and saluted respectfully. He straightened his back while riding on the horse and nodded with a smile. , the eighth elder brother chatted a few gossips with Wang Xinming, and then went on the road wholeheartedly.

Shanxi is not far away, but floods wait for no one. Originally, Yu Jackie was very reluctant to take a Baylor with him. What does such a young brother know?Before he came out, the emperor also embarrassedly told him to walk on a flat road and not let the children suffer. Yu Chenglong sighed in his heart, why is it so difficult to do something practical?

Unexpectedly, the eighth elder brother is gentle and elegant, and he speaks in a reasonable manner. As soon as he left the city gate, he smiled and said: "Xiao Wang is young, the two adults should teach you a lot, and the flood will not wait for anyone. I don't know the two adults Are you in a hurry?" With just these words, Yu Chenglong and Wang Xinming breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, fortunately, this master is someone who can discuss things.

Then I found out that the people around Babeile were all unobtrusive, some who could fight, some who could cook, and some who could scout the road and negotiate prices. Heaps of hands make this mistake.

When they arrived in Shanxi, holding a river map, the two still invited Babeile to preside over the meeting. In order to prevent the master from understanding, Yu Chenglong personally took on the task of explaining the river, pointing to the river on the map: "Lord Baylor, look , This is the source of the Qinghe River, originating from the Taihang Mountains, the Huizhang River, the Ziya River, the Hutuo River, and the Yishui River. It won't be a disaster."

Wang Xinming then pointed out the Zhang River to Babeile: "Lord Baylor, look at this side. The tributary of the Zhanghe River passes through Dacheng County and enters the Ziya River. It was all caused by the flooding of the river. This is the river that the servants will investigate in detail this time. As for the Yongding River named by the emperor, it originates from Mayi. In fact, the source of this river is very small. However, the cross-flow flooded and flooded the fields. The reason is that the Yongding River has a lot of silt and sand. Flowing from a high place to a low place, causing the river to overflow and the fields to wash away.”

Brother Eight nodded. This river has been flooded for nearly ten years. How could he not be familiar with how many river governors and Liangjiang governors capsized on this river?

: "Since the river is silted up, why not dig silt on both banks to see how many feet it takes to make the river unimpeded, but since the silt is on the surface, this is just a temporary solution. If you want to cure the root cause, I'm afraid you have to find another way! "

Both Yu Chenglong and Wang Xinming were taken aback for a moment. Originally, Babeile was invited to preside over the show just to go through the motions. When he went back in the future, he would like to praise him more in the memorial. This is the prince, who will compete with him?

But I didn't expect Babeile to think of the root of the problem, Yu Chenglong cleared his throat: "What Baylor said is that this river is easy to dry and overflow, it is extremely difficult to manage, and it is not easy to stop people from diverting water when it is dry! "

: "Governor Yu really has a long-term vision, but it was quite difficult for Dayu to control the water back then. I think it will not be too easy to manage the Yongding River. Only by delaying urgent matters can we make achievements for the present. It is better to draw the river shape map first and then discuss it. Bar!"

Little things like drawing a river shape diagram are originally not up to Eighth Brother to take care of, but he is not willing to hang around there to please others. Although he is smiling, when an elder brother persists in front of you, how about Yu Chenglong? Can you refuse?Bringing a lot of people to protect them, Babeile took the officers of various ministries, Bi Tie Shi, and the local subordinate Ding Zhuang to start the survey for more than ten days.

The eighth elder brother has been able to subdue people's hearts since he was a child, yes, such a noble prince, with such a gentle smile, and polite command, even the orders are spoken politely, how many people can feel disgusted?

What's more, such a Lord Belle, wearing a python robe embroidered with four-claw pythons, and a hood in blue fox fur and moon-white satin, climbed the rugged detours with the little people, ate the same simple diet, and encountered people who were hungry or sick. The weak will coax the eye circles to pay for relief by themselves, and soon everyone starts to respect him from the bottom of their hearts.

In the middle of March, the river-shaped map was successfully drawn. Originally, Yu Jackie discussed with Wang Xinming to ask Babeile to return to Beijing with the river-shaped map to please the emperor and send the prince back. How wonderful.

In the beginning, Babeile refused, and insisted on staying and building the embankment with them. The emperor's urgent order also came down. Before the rain, he had to dredge the river and build the embankment so that the people could divert water for irrigation, so as not to delay the summer harvest.Yu Chenglong also knew that since the prince stayed here, financial resources and material resources would be guaranteed, and the chances of completing the task would be greatly improved, so he acquiesced in the participation of the eighth elder brother.

In July, the dredging of a new river in Bazhou and other places was completed. The new river is [-] miles long from Zhangjiazhuang in Liangxiang to Langshen River in Dong'an.

Babeile began to rush back to Beijing, not out of greed, but because he knew that something big was about to happen!
