From the capital all the way to Jiangning, Kangxi was on his way while receiving officials from various places. After more than ten days in the carriage, the southern tour team finally arrived outside Jiangning.

Cao Yin was picking up the driver outside the city gate. The officers and soldiers blocked both sides of the road tightly and did not dare to stay idle. The people on the side of the road were too enthusiastic. If they were not careful, the people would squeeze in front of the holy driver. Shengjia is in trouble.

The roadside was crowded with people. Kangxi led the ministers into the city on horseback, and waved to the people from time to time. Cao Yin tensed up and followed him, just wanting to finish the journey and return to Zhizao Mansion.

Being close to the people can make the people happy, and it can even make the anti-Qing and Fuming people who hide in troubled waters angry among the people. The emperor is really getting harder and harder to serve.

His Majesty the Emperor had fun with the people, and happily came to Zhizao Mansion all the way. Before that, the elder brothers had already played in Zhizao Mansion for half a day.

After Kangxi arrived, he wanted to meet the magistrates, so he only brought his two sons, the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother, who were able to handle errands. When the business was over, if there was a reception banquet, the other elder brothers would be required to appear. Besides, all they need to care about is how to play.

Before Yinhu came out, he had done his homework. Not only did he have delicious food but also interesting things. At the moment, he was surrounded by several brothers and told them about the garden scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. Changchun Garden was built with reference to the southern gardens. The style, but the north and the south are different after all. Now I can see the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River with my own eyes. If I meet someone I like, they will go out of the palace to open a mansion in the future, and they can ask the Ministry of Industry to change their mansion into a similar look.

The garden in the south is much more exquisite than that in the north, and the only opportunity to repair the house at public expense cannot be wasted.

The weaving mansion in Jiangning is very large, and it is no problem to serve as a temporary palace during the emperor's southern tour. Yinqi originally wanted to take a stroll in the weaving mansion, but his joy turned into sadness, and he fell down that night because of the unacceptable climate.

Delicious things don't belong to him, and fun things don't belong to him. What belongs to him is the condolences from his brothers and the dark bitter medicine.

The emperor took the imperial doctor with him on a trip, nothing happened on the way, but he got down on the ground when he arrived at the border of Jiangnan. Kangxi looked at his languid son, and could only comfort him by saying that he would take him out to play after he recovered.

In fact, both father and son knew that when they recovered from their illness, they should set off to return to the capital.

Yin Qi has not been sick for a long time. He never thought that people are not as good as God, and he was planted on the acclimatization. When he was in poor health, he went to Wutai Mountain without acclimatization. Now his health is so much better than before. Why did he go out for a trip? Are you still not acclimatized when you are far away?

Kangxi comforted the little guy with a few words and left. Yinzhen was afraid that the little ones would be too noisy and disturb his brother's recovery, so he let them go to rest early, and only went into the house and sat down by the bed after their family Khan Ama left, "You Take care of your illness, and the fourth brother will bring you some fun gadgets when he comes back."

"Why isn't it delicious?" Yin Qi asked subconsciously, suddenly remembering what their fourth brother did before "bring candied haws for him to see", puffed his face and quickly suppressed the memory, "Forget it Now, don’t eat something delicious, it’s good for the fourth brother to have fun by himself, you have to pay attention to what the garden looks like here, and when the fourth brother leaves the palace to open a mansion, he has to build a mansion he likes.”

"Okay, when the mansion is built, you can choose the courtyard inside." Yinzhen sighed silently, rubbed the little guy's head to let him have a good rest, take care of his body early, it doesn't matter how the mansion is built.

The next day, Kangxi continued to meet with the ministers, Cao Yin accompanied him, and his elder brothers stood there to listen.

The purpose of the emperor's southern tour is very clear. One is to inspect the waterways, and the other is to win people's hearts. This year, he left early and there was no delay on the way.

Jiangning weaving is a poor job. During the previous dynasty, a manufacturing bureau was set up in Jiangning to supply the expenses of the palace. During the Shunzhi period, the weaving bureau was re-established. Jiangning weaving, Suzhou weaving and Hangzhou weaving jointly operated the Jiangnan area. China's silk industry, as the folk saying goes, is a serious imperial merchant.

In the previous dynasty, the Weaving Mansion was an imperial business that provided services for the royal family and ministers. It was managed by the admiral Weaving Eunuch. It was not until the second year of Kangxi that the San Yamen was changed to send people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Jiangnan to reside permanently, and the official name was Jiangning Weaving Doctor.

The silk weaving industry in the south of the Yangtze River has always been well-developed, and many people rely on it for their livelihood. The silk satin weaves is not only used by the royal family and nobles, but also sold all over the world. The imperial court can collect millions of taels of silver in taxes every year, in other words That is, wealthy businessmen and tycoons earn more, and the work related to the emperor's purse is naturally performed by the emperor's cronies.

The first Jiangning weaving doctor was Cao Yin's father, Cao Xi.

Among the three major weaving companies today, Jiangning Weaving is the leader, the Cao family has received the favor of the emperor, and Cao Xi and Cao Yin and his son are deeply trusted by the emperor. If not, Cao Yin would not have taken over the position of Jiangnan Remanufacturing at a young age.

Jiangning Weaving Mansion, Jiangning Weaving Bureau, and Jiangning Weaving Bureau are all owned by Jiangning Weaving Doctor. Jiangning Weaving Doctor is an official of the fifth rank. If you only look at the grade, it is no different from the size of sesame seeds, but it is such a fifth rank. Little official, the governor of Liangjiang treated him with courtesy when he saw him.

After all, everyone in the court knew that the Jiangning weaving of the Cao family was not only in charge of buying and selling silk, but also monitored the situation in the Jiangnan area. In [-], he wrote more notebooks than the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

In the past, the imperial court sent imperial envoys to check the situation, and it took a few days to fool around. Now the imperial envoys live directly in the south of the Yangtze River, carry Shangfang's sword with them at all times, and report everything they see to the emperor. Who can bear it?

However, Cao Xi is a formidable person, and the officials in Jiangnan can't play with him, so they can only put away their small thoughts and move the things that they used to be able to do openly and aboveboard to the ground. Finally, Cao Xi died of illness, and the newly appointed Jiang Ning Weaving is his son, everyone thinks that a mere boy is nothing to fear, but before they can celebrate, they are horrified to find that this boy is more powerful than his father.

After the emperor came to power, he was very sophisticated, and he was partial to his cronies. He was afraid that this young man would not be able to stand in the south of the Yangtze River, so he was given the post of inspector of salt in the Lianghuai River and allowed him to inspect the salt administration in the Lianghuai River.

Salt and iron have been the lifeblood of the country since ancient times. Anyone who does the silk business can do it. The salt administration is not something anyone can intervene. How heavy is the weight in the emperor's heart.

Mr. Cao did not disappoint Kangxi. He has been working in the south of the Yangtze River these years, and sent them to the capital one by one. In the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River, he is the emperor's eyes.

The emperor summoned the local officials, but what he asked was not about any major national affairs. The real major events were usually sent to him with memorials. Heart, who doesn't care about the people under the rule.

Gossiping about family affairs is a common means used by Kangxi. He looked relaxed on the top, but the ministers below did not dare to relax at all. After all, no one knew whether the emperor would ask "what is the price of rice today" or "why did you pass the imperial examination this time?" How many students?" Asking what they know is okay, and asking what they don't know, the emperor will definitely remember it later.

Yinzhen quietly observed the reactions of the officials below, and silently recalled their end decades later, this one died of illness within a few years, that one was too old to return to his hometown, and the one next to him owed money to the treasury and was not paid by him. The house I personally copied, and the head of the prince who accepted bribes and sold officials next to me was beheaded...

The last gaze fell on Cao Yin, and he quickly moved away as if nothing had happened. When he copied Cao's house, Jiang Ning Weaving was Cao Fu, and had nothing to do with this person.

Their family's Khan Ama only valued this person and his blood. Cao Fu is an adopted child. Khan Ama naturally doesn't care as much as before. Khan Ama doesn't care anymore, and even less after he succeeds Will take it to heart.

The Cao family had been prominent for decades, so their daily expenses were naturally high. No matter how prominent the family was, they couldn't afford to receive the holy driver several times. By the time Cao Yin passed away, the Cao family had already owed a large sum of money to the treasury.

If there is no money to make up for the shortfall, the only end result is dismissal and ransacking.

The ruthless emperor who ransacked his family was still ruthless when he returned to the stage of his elder brother who ransacked his family.

Yinqi was not feeling well, so he stayed in the room reading to pass the time. Cao Yin was afraid that he would be bored, so he specially asked his son to come over to relieve him.

When the little baby who was one year younger than Yinzhen was brought to him, Brother Jiu looked dull and didn't even know what to say. He suspected that Cao Yin didn't want to relieve him, but wanted him to help take care of the child.

Cao Yin looks very good, and his son is not bad in appearance. The little baby is named Cao Yong, and his baby name is Liansheng. He grew up in the south of the Yangtze River since he was a child, and his face is so tender that you can squeeze water out.

Yinqi got along with him for a while, and quickly overturned his previous guess. Xiao Liansheng was obedient and quiet, and would read books with him when he was not talking, and accompany him with clear words when he wanted to talk.

These days, such obedient children are really rare, and they are much cuter than their younger brothers.

Yinqi thought of Yinzhen following their butts in a hurry, and then patted his chest in fear, and cherished the time spent with other people's children even more. The little doll at this age should still be enlightened, just let him live as a teacher addiction.

The light ball stayed in the code house to watch the fun. It thought that this kid was going to teach other people's children to read, thinking that his level would not be a mistake to the children, so he simply let him go, but came back to see his posture Instead of teaching children to read and write, but to teach children to write, the whole system will suddenly go bad.

Old swan, this can no longer be said to be misleading people's children, it is taking other people's children into the pit.

Just when it was trying to stop the tragedy that was about to happen, Xiao Liansheng picked up a pen and wrote a big character with a straight posture. The two looked at the words on the paper with the same serious expression on their faces.

Guangqiu Tong: All right, the crisis is over!

Yinqi: Why can even little dolls write so well QAQ~

Brother Jiu was hit so badly that he put away the rice paper and decided not to humiliate himself. Instead, he taught the children to recite Jiujiu songs.

The two of them staying in the room are not boring at all. Cao Yong is a quiet child. When he came here in the morning, he was told by his father to play well with brother Jiu. Brother Jiu didn't go out to play and taught him to recite Jiu Jiu songs Father's worry is superfluous, Brother Jiu is obviously a good brother who is easy to get along with.

If Cao Yin knew that his son thought so, he would definitely tell his son what he saw and heard when he was a guard in the palace. He is not exaggerating. Brother Jiu is really the most difficult elder brother to serve in the palace. .

The prince is favored enough, but he still has to sit in the back row in front of him.

Brother Nine is not only favored by the emperor and the empress dowagers of the two palaces, he also has a concubine named Huangguifei who is actually a queen. His Royal Highness the crown prince also dotes on this younger brother. This master is not in good health and dares to confront the emperor. During the quarrel, the emperor accidentally made him mad at him. In those days, even the emperor couldn't hold his head up in the harem.

This little ancestor is hard to serve.

The more favored a child is, the harder it is for him to grow up. Brother Jiu is so favored in the palace, even if he hasn't seen him for several years, he can still imagine that this child's temper is no different from when he was a guard back then.

Lian Sheng is his eldest son, and he doesn't like to be noisy by nature. The little child doesn't show his emotions in front of his real father. When the two children are together, even if they are five or six years apart in age, it's still his son who sees them. Looks more like a brother.

Time passed quickly when there was something to do, and soon it was lunch time, Yinqi and Cao Yong had dinner together, rested for a while after eating, and then drank medicine, and then found another reason why Cao Yin sent his son to accompany him.

Not only does he have to drink medicine, but Xiao Liansheng also needs to drink medicine. More importantly, he drinks one bowl and Xiao Liansheng drinks two bowls.

In such a comparison, the medicine in the bowl seemed less difficult to swallow.

By the way, is Xiao Liansheng not in good health?

He had only seen himself drinking so much medicine at a young age, but this child didn't look sick. Could it be some intractable disease that he hadn't heard of?

Yin Qi drank the medicine in the bowl, poked the ball with candied fruit in his mouth, [Senior, can you scan Xiao Liansheng's illness? 】

Guang Qiutong was silent for a while, and finally chose to lie in good faith, 【Don't worry, it's not a big problem. 】

Not only was it not a serious problem, it was nothing wrong with it at all. It couldn't scan out any symptoms on the kid, but he could scan out whether the bowl was medicine or plum soup.

Cao Yin looks like he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, why is he still doing such a small trick? Is it sure that their stupid cubs can't see the tricks?

Oh, look at this sincere appearance, he really didn't see anything tricky.

At this time, on Kangxi's side, His Majesty the Emperor heard a report from a servant saying that elder brother Jiu had drunk all the medicine obediently, and raised his eyebrows to show off to Cao Yin, "How can I say that, although Xiao Jiu is squeamish? It’s a bit too much, but the younger siblings have always been very good, and it must be heartbreaking for him to see Liansheng drink two bowls of medicine, and this heartache will make him feel that his medicine is not bitter.”

Cao Yin has long been used to the emperor not being upright in private. If Nalan Rongruo was there, the two of them could still complain to each other. This time, Rong Ruo stayed in the capital and did not drive out of the capital. He was the only one to bear the emperor's love. I really can't hold it.

The elder brothers and sisters in the palace are the younger brothers and sisters of the ninth elder brother. How can his children be compared with the elder brothers?

Also, depending on how proficient you are in this arrangement, how many times have you used this method to deceive brother Jiu?

Shengjia stayed in Jiangning for half a month. Kangxi met many ministers, and even changed into casual clothes and took Yinzhi Yinzhen to go outside to experience the life of the people. Jiangnan is rich and prosperous. There are more and more people.

Merchants not only focus on land, but more and more people go to sea by boat.

The father and son took the guards for a few laps outside, and then they were about to leave Jiangning. The weather was getting warmer and the rainy season was coming soon. If they didn't patrol the river, it would be too late to wait for the heavy rain.

The importance of the Yellow River to the people of the Central Plains is self-evident. Since ancient times, this big river has fed countless people, and it has also swallowed countless people's lives. The governance of the Yellow River has been the top priority of all dynasties.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, there were frequent wars, the embankments were in disrepair for many years, and floods occurred frequently. There were more than 80 major embankment breaches. It is impossible to say whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster.

When Kangxi succeeded to the throne, the Yellow River had already reached the point where it had to be governed. If it was not governed, the surrounding area of ​​the Yellow River would really be uninhabitable, and the people could move to other places, but there are good crops along the banks, so is it possible to leave it deserted?

The Yellow River and the Huaihe River could not merge into the sea, the canal was also affected, and the water transportation was blocked, which affected not only the people on both sides of the river, but the whole world.

Grain in the south of the Yangtze River is mainly transported by rivers. If the water transport is blocked, it will be a big trouble.

When the big guys packed up their things and were about to leave Jiangning, Yinqi finally overcame the acclimatization. The poor Jiu elder brother finally came to Jiangnan with his car, but he never went out of the weaving mansion. Seeing sad, those who see cry.

Kangxi was going to inspect the canal, the convoy did not go back the way it came, but went around the canal and proceeded along the river.

It started to rain quietly outside, Yinzhen drew the curtain to keep the wind from blowing in, and told his younger brothers how the Yellow River was governed in the past dynasties.

From ancient mythology to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, the basic method of water control is "dredging first, supplemented by containment". Dayu's water control is like this. He memorizes the terrain and terrain, and then follows the low-lying places to forcefully move The river channel was dug to allow the Yellow River to flow into the sea along its original path.

Mencius said, "Yu's control of water is the way of water."

The so-called "road" is to use the phenomenon of water flowing to the lower place to control the water. The Yellow River has a lot of silt. If the river channel is widened, the water can continue to flow towards the sea, instead of breaking the embankment halfway.

However, manpower is limited after all, and the upper reaches are constantly washed down by sediment, and the widening of the river can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, more and more people lived in the upper reaches, but the people in the lower reaches were miserable. If the embankment is destroyed, the property and life will not be preserved, so the flood control has become a containment again.

The so-called containment is to build dams along the river course of the Yellow River to prevent the river from flooding.

However, the Yellow River is a very difficult river. It has changed its course frequently over the years, and the construction of embankments has to follow the river course. Although embankment construction is troublesome, it must be repaired.

According to historical records, large-scale governance of the Yellow River began in the Han Dynasty. At that time, the Yellow River had become a river hanging above the ground. If it was not properly managed, the situation would be the same as they are now, with floods and disasters every year.

During the Yongping period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yellow River broke through Henan and caused the river to move southward. Countless people on both sides of the river were buried in fish belly and shocked the world.

There are only so many people in the world, and the Yellow River breach killed so many people once. How many more times do they want to be a big man?

After Wang Jing arrived in Henan, he studied for a long time, dredged the river, built dams, and repaired the water gate... After a lot of hard work, he finally found a useful method.

The Yellow River is already an aboveground river, and the sediment in the water accumulates, and the water volume will skyrocket every year during the flood season. Building dikes and dams according to the previous methods will no longer work.

It’s just a waste of people and money, and if it doesn’t work, then it’s better not to do it.

Wang Jing thought about it for a long time, and then came up with a good idea, which is to build double dams, so that the water of the Yellow River will be released from the upper reaches of the inner dams, blocked by the outer dams, and then flow back to the Yellow River from the lower reaches. But if the silt carried in the river water can be kept between the two dams, the river bed will not rise so fast.

As soon as this method came out, the merits will last for thousands of years, and the Yellow River has not broken its embankment for more than 800 years.

"Fourth brother, why is there no way to control the Yellow River without wasting money and people?" Yinqi raised his hand and asked his own question in a low voice.

The problem of getting the best of both worlds in this world is very troublesome, why can't we have the best of both worlds?

"If there is a way, our Khan Ama wouldn't be so busy now." Yinzuo replied in a low voice, patted his younger brother's hand, and told him to continue listening.

He knew that after the Han Dynasty, the Yellow River began to be treated on a large scale. Since then, the Yellow River has been peaceful for more than 800 years. It's already started to mess up.

The subsequent flood control in the Song Dynasty is simply impossible to say.

The previous dynasties controlled the water to protect the people, and the Song Dynasty controlled the Yellow River to turn the Yellow River into a natural barrier. In order to form a military natural barrier against foreign enemies, the life and death of the people seems not to be important. The result is not only harmful but also a disaster for future generations.

When the Jin soldiers attacked the Song Dynasty, the natural barriers of the Yellow River failed to play a role. Instead, the dam burst and turned all along the river into a vast ocean.

Once the bad hole is opened, it will be difficult to deal with it.

Floods frequently occurred in the Yellow River. Pan Jixun of the former dynasty proposed the method of beaming water to flush sand. The river channel no longer widens outwards, but tightens it. The huge impact force of the water rushing through will wash away the silt at the bottom of the river, so as to replace the manual dredging of silt. .

They are now controlling the water, and what they have inherited is Pan Jixun's method of beaming water and flushing sand.

Yinqi was fascinated by what his brother said. There are many natural disasters and man-made disasters in his database, but before he only thought that those were simple numbers and had nothing to do with him, but now hearing what his brother said, he suddenly felt blocked and uncomfortable tight.

In his opinion, those numbers are just numbers, and when the catastrophe actually happened, those numbers were the lives of real people.

[Senior, how much energy do we have? 】

[You will be replaced with a healthy body soon. If you buy a new book, you will use up more than half of it. Are you sure you want to use it? 】The ball of light floated out, paused and continued, 【Your brother said before, they don’t need the system mall for the time being, and all their energy is saved for your treatment. 】

【What I said sounds weird, as if I had some terminal illness. 】Yin Qi muttered vaguely, thought for a while and then continued to ask, 【I'll copy down the sorted information, so it doesn't consume energy, right? 】

Photosphere System: [! ! ! 】

It does not consume energy, but your hands may not be able to support it. According to the current level of productivity, if you want to keep the Yellow River from breaking its embankment, the workload is comparable to repairing the history books of previous dynasties. Is it really necessary to copy it by hand?

If it doesn’t work, it’s not impossible for us to use energy to buy, anyway, the energy will be returned quickly anyway, and whether the body is healthy or not is not important to their system.

Yin Qi clenched his fists and cheered himself up in his heart, 【What's the matter, it's all about practicing calligraphy. 】

Photosphere system: […]

It bet on the morals of the boss at the headquarters, copying up to ten pages of books, and this kid would have to run back crying to him to exchange energy for professional books.

Also "it's all about practicing calligraphy", a little self-knowledge, okay? !
