Chapter 43 On Water Transport and Lamenting the Difficulties of the World...

Hearing Tian Shaohe's words, Qin Yi pondered for a moment, but said with a smile: "Although this is the case, the water transport has not been abandoned. I think that as long as the canal is rebuilt, Jinzhou will be the hometown of fireworks and moon. It's just that the corvee is very heavy. If there is no clear purpose, few people would dare to recruit civilian husbands to fight for the future."

After Tian Shaohe heard this, he only smiled, and said in a dialect: "What brother Shi said is very true. If there is no clear purpose, if you forcefully conscript the peasants, if you succeed in cultivation, the merit will outweigh the demerits. If you fail, it will be a serious crime of confiscating your family and destroying your family. With this in mind, I have no choice but to press it."

Qin Yi laughed, changed his mind again, and said with a smile: "Forcible confiscation is not possible. If you follow my idea, you might as well find some wealthy merchants who rely on water transportation, and order them to give up some money and hire people to repair it. We might as well give them a few percentage points in terms of wealth and water transportation, and reward a few merchants who are loyal to the state affairs, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds.”

Tian Shaohe sighed inwardly when he heard the words, and just about to speak, Qin Yi poured another glass of wine and laughed at himself: "Although this method is good, I'm afraid that if the government doesn't follow it, it will stink of money because it thinks it will compete with the people for profit. It’s just a joke, let’s have a few drinks before talking.”

Tian Shaohe also smiled, and said: "It's true, let's not talk about the Qingliu in the court, even in the local area, there are quite a few people who make trouble. Let me relieve the worries of thousands of generations." After speaking, he raised his glass to toast and chatted with Qin Yi.

But he didn't expect that although the courtyard was small, Qin and Yi were not here. Because of the ingenious construction, there was still a hall facing the water, which was only covered by mountains, rocks, flowers and trees.The conversation between Qin Yi and Tian Zhonghe was overheard, but the person seated in the hall was actually Li Xuanyue, the prince of Yanping County whom Qin Yi had met.Li Xuanyue's eyes looked like a deep pool, with a faint cold light, he said with a smile: "I didn't expect to come out today, but I met two young talents, but it's a pity that they are too well-behaved, so it's boring." Shaking his head, he was about to Talking to the left and right, but hearing faint laughter again, I couldn't help being startled.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Qin Yi became a little tipsy, and said with a smile, "Is there a reason why my younger brother returned to Beijing this time?" Tian Shaohe said indifferently: "Why else, but those things in the mansion are plain to say dirty brother's ears."

Qin Yi showed a few traces of helplessness, and only drank a glass of wine by himself, persuading him: "Senior Brother only cares about what is out of sight, and it is only seven or eight months away from Chunwei. With Shidi's talent, he will definitely be on the list. Whether it is sent abroad or stayed in Beijing, there is always a way to think about it.”

Tian Shaohe nodded slightly, but said: "Why don't I know this, but the word filial piety is bigger than the sky, but at my birth, it is impossible to be wise and protect one's life. I just hope for the kindness of the Holy One and read a little bit of the love of my ancestors." That's all." After speaking, he laughed again: "We meet again after a long absence, and we don't talk outside the pavilion, just sing and drink wildly to reminisce about the past." Then he poured the wine and drank with Qin Yi.

Qin Yi was originally gentle, although he hadn't seen Tian Shaohe for a long time, but seeing that Tian Shaohe didn't want to talk about family affairs, he just changed the subject and talked about literature with Tian Shaohe.Qin Yi said with a smile: "The day before yesterday, I read the ink scroll, and there were quite a few good articles. Although they are speaking on behalf of the sages, they also understand the sufferings of the people." Tian Shaohe replied with a smile: "I read the ink scroll, but just looking for Focusing on literature and science, but I haven't understood the true meaning of it. In my free time, I read some miscellaneous books and the like, and gain some knowledge." Talking with each other, Qin Yi got up and resigned after noon.

Fang walked out of the courtyard, facing several servants in brocade clothes, majestic and majestic, not like ordinary servants.Along the way, he didn't see Yingyingyanyan's maid Jiaoer, so Qin Yi didn't care and went out.Just after leaving the study, I saw Danqing waiting by the side wall covered in cold sweat. Seeing Qin Yi coming out, he hurriedly saluted and said, "My lord, you have come out. If the Marquis finds out, you don't have to ask for it." My little one is dead." As he spoke, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Qin Yi said with a smile: "Whoever wants your life, but you come out to make an appointment, you care too much." Dan Qing said with a wry smile: "Brother Su, there are rules in the house when you go out, where you should go and where you can't Go, Mr. Pian came to this place today, if you go back and let the old lady know, you will be beaten and punished."

After hearing this, Qin Yi thought for a while, pretending to be confused, and said: "Okay, okay, I won't go in today, just go to the village to see the head office." Danqing was also smart, his eyes lit up, and he was busy Leading the way: "The carriage is ready in front, it's getting late, you might as well rest in the carriage."

Because Dan Qing has always been careful, the carriage parked in a secluded place, some distance away from the study, Qin Yi went forward for a while, turned around at the corner of the street, and saw a person coming out from the door of the study. Not really, Qin Yi didn't care, and went to where the carriage was.

The willows follow the wind, and the hibiscus contains dew. At this time, there is no cloud in the sky, and a round of red sun shines on the earth.After Qin Yi recovered from his illness, he was a little weak and hard to adjust. The ice basin and other things in the car, after getting rid of the heat, brought back the cold, and he even had coughing and shortness of breath for a while.

When we got to the village, the sound of cicadas started to sound, and the bamboo forest was green. Although porridge was still served in front of the village, there were not as many hungry people as in the past, only the old and the weak.Seeing Qin Yi's chariots and horses arriving in front of the village, several householders who had seen Qin Yi rushed over to greet him, Qin Yi lifted the curtain and asked with a smile: "Where did Li Ye go, why didn't you keep looking at him? "

There was a farmer in brown clothes who cleverly stepped forward to salute, and said back: "The leader of Li Zhuang is leading people to build embankments by the pond." Qin Yi nodded slightly, and asked again: "Refugees come more often these days. No?" The farmer hurriedly replied: "Why not many, it's just that there is a shortage of manpower for repairing the embankment, but anyone with a little strength will be hired by the farmer. If it rains, there will be another flood.”

Hearing this, Qin Yi relaxed a little, and saw the old and weak waiting for porridge nearby, and the old thoughts came back to his mind for a while, only after Lin Zhonghang said it in front of Lord Hou, Qin Yi would inevitably be more careful, not as usual He walked casually, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. After a while, Fang got out of the car and took Danqing and others to the village.

The ancient trees are deep, the ivy is downy, the breeze is warm, and the birds are singing together.When I arrived at the steps, I could hear the noise, the sound of chant and yelling, but I couldn't hear it, it was noisy.Looking up, there is a sea of ​​people on the shore, people who move rocks move stones, and those who press roads are all messy and unorganized.Qin Yi frowned, stepped up and went down the stone steps, Li Ye was calling on the farmer to clean up the weeds on the bank, when he saw Qin Yi coming, he rushed forward to meet Qin Yi, stood with his hands down, and said with a smile: "My lord, be careful Under the feet, the construction has just started, and it is in a mess everywhere." Qin Yi frowned slightly, and asked: "Why is there no way, I should invite a construction master to look at it. On the contrary, it is in the way." Although the words were gentle, there was no warmth.

Li Ye knew Qin Yi's temperament. Hearing Qin Yi's words, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly said, "It's just that the little one didn't plan well. It's just that there are not only farmers here, but also hired refugees. It's inevitable that there will be chaos." Seeing Qin Yi Raising his eyebrows slightly, Li Ye said again: "It's not a tricky thing at all. It's just because I started the work, so I thought about watching another episode. It's good to choose a few capable ones to make use of."

Qin Yi listened, smiled, and only said to Li Ye: "You only know one thing, but you don't know the other. If it's an ordinary thing, it's not bad to follow this method. The water conservancy matter is an ant nest. It’s a thousand miles away. Another thing to say is that people come and go, regardless of the front and back, if something happens, this good thing will turn into a bad thing.”

After hearing this, Li Ye quickly patted his head and laughed, "It's just a little muddleheaded, and I forgot about it. If something really happened, I'd be ashamed to see others." Seeing this situation, Qin Yi smiled, and then Instructed: "Not only this matter, this embankment repair is a laborious work, but also caught up with the disaster year, not to mention anything else, since the village has provided porridge, there is no need to save the place, so the food is also taken care of. Not really Gather people's hearts, rather than work and not live, it's better to take care of food, anyway, it's not short of food."

When Li Ye heard this, he quickly flattered him: "Young master is thoughtful, but the younger one is absolutely inferior, so I will order someone to do it." After saying that, Li Ye was going to order things, and Qin Yi asked again: "And Hurry up, it's porridge donation and embankment work, the village has enough grain, don't touch the grain that's not available."

Hearing Qin Yi's words, Li Ye was slightly taken aback, and only said: "The harvest was good a few years ago, and there was a lot of food in stock. If there is not enough food in stock, isn't there still a young master?" Qin Yi smiled and said: "This matter has not yet Do it, I thought about fighting in the ring first, and I guessed your thoughts, anyway, it's all credit, and I don't care about it sooner or later. If you don't change your muddled temper, you may have some tricks tomorrow."

Seeing that Li Ye just smiled and said nothing, Qin Yi didn't like to get angry, so he just laughed and cursed: "I don't want to watch it, I can't do it myself." Li Ye just left.

Waiting for Li Ye to go to work, Qin Yi told Danqing again: "I'm a little tired after walking all the way, you can take someone to the front to help the porridge, and do your part for me." Danqing said with a smile: "If I go, I'm really worried. Why don't I let others go? I'll keep it and fan you." Qin Yi just smiled and said, "My own Zhuangzi, why don't you worry about it? Sober up. If you don't go and watch, it's inevitable that some people will not be happy or happy." Only then did Danqing obediently agree, and took his own people with him.

Qin Yi walked along the embankment for a while, seeing people and busy things, he didn't want to stay for a long time, but there was a faint fragrance that came with the wind.
