After I was reborn, I became a plug-in for the country

Although Jin Fu holds the title of governor of the river channel and started from a first-rank official position, due to the uncertain river situation during the flood season, he has been running along the Yellow River all these years since he took office. Today Gansu and tomorrow Shaanxi, so he has no fixed position. office.Only a temporary government office was set up in Yan'an Prefecture, Shaanxi.

He was originally the governor of Anhui, and his term of office was not short, so all his family members stayed in Anhui and did not follow him to take office.

Yinreng followed Jin Fu to his temporary mansion, and after a rough look around, he found that the governor was really devoting himself to official affairs, regardless of the quality of his personal life, and he was very hardworking.

This temporary government office is a small courtyard with three entrances. The first two reception halls and the study room are used as office space, and the decoration can be barely discerned. His own bedroom in the back is very simple to say the least. .

Even Huaiqing who ran across the border with Yinfeng couldn't help complaining: "Your Highness, this lord's living room is really too simple, why don't we find another place to live."

Although His Royal Highness has been following the people-friendly route since discussing politics, even if he went to the front line in person, he has never lived in such a bad place.

The earthen wall is connected with the earthen kang, there is no extra decoration, even the walls are not painted, it is not just a shabby room, it is not an exaggeration to call it an earthen house.Not only Huaiqing, but also the other two young eunuchs who came to wait on him also looked a bit bitter. The third-class eunuchs in charge of the cold palace lived in much better rooms than here.This is how the master lives, not to mention them servants.

They really wronged Jin Fu for this, because every house here is the same soil, the same rudimentary, and there is no distinction between the servant's room and the master's room.

Perhaps it was because Huaiqing's disgusted eyes were too obvious, before Yinreng said anything, Jin Fu quickly noticed, he bowed and saluted, and said with a serious look: "The place here is really simple, and it doesn't suit your Highness, why don't you go to my place?" Governor of Shaanxi, please arrange a residence for His Highness."

He didn't often deal with the governor of Shaanxi, but he used Yinreng's identity certificate to ask for better conditions in the past, so he probably wouldn't be blocked.

When Jin Fu spoke, his tone was very respectful and his attitude was very sincere.But Yinfeng knew that as long as he nodded and agreed, Jin Fu would regard him as a dandy prince who only knows about rich clothes and good food, and would completely respect him at a distance.Maybe they will only show him some of the most useless data, hoping that he will retreat in the face of difficulties, so as to send him back to Beijing quickly.

If it wasn't for the major event of the river project, Yinfeng would definitely turn around and leave after taking a look at such a house.It's a pity, now he cares more about He Gong than anything else.Not to mention letting him live here today, even if he eats bran swallowed vegetables tomorrow, he will endure it and not give up.

After all, it is a major event that will benefit thousands of years. If he gives up easily, he can't find other better weights.

Yinreng glanced at Huaiqing, and then smiled at Jin Fu: "It's quiet here, my lord, I like it very much. I'm here in the name of Khan Ama, and I'm here to be your assistant, not for pleasure."

His words sounded resounding, and it didn't seem to be fake, but Jin Fu didn't know what to say for a while.After repeatedly confirming that Yinfeng had no other intentions, he said: "Your Highness has been traveling hard these few days, so please take a rest for a while, and I will go to arrange meals for Your Highness."

Yinfeng nodded in agreement, and Jin Fu withdrew.

Huaiqing's expression still hasn't changed, he still felt wronged for his master, "Why do you do this, Your Highness, just pass it on..."

Yinreng interrupted him, and seriously emphasized to these habitual people: "There is no need to say this again, before returning to the palace, Gu will live here."

A few young eunuchs agreed together bitterly, reluctantly swallowed their dissatisfaction, and began to clean the house and make beds.

Yinreng took advantage of their busy time to go out for a walk by himself, the courtyard of Sanjin was not big at all, so he was able to walk around in a short while.It's just that Jin Fu's study is locked, and he regrets that he can't see the first-hand information, but for the sake of face, he didn't ask anyone to force it open.

Yinreng left the capital happily, but the court in the capital was blown up.

The courtiers found out on the second day after he left that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had always been diligent in court, was not standing in a fixed corner.A Hanchen who didn't like Yinreng but habitually defended his son immediately raised a question, where did the Crown Prince go?

Kangxi didn't explain it, but said that the prince occasionally felt cold and was recovering from illness in Yuqing Palace, so he couldn't go to court for the time being.

This statement was too general, and the upright courtiers began to question him three times, but what big mistake did the crown prince make?If it's really a physical reason, how are you doing now?When can I continue to listen to politics?

Kangxi was too lazy to cause trouble, so he forcefully announced his withdrawal from the court.Unexpectedly, when he left, countless speculations arose.

The crown prince has always been the focus of everyone's attention among the princes. Whether it is the rank of the leader or the ability to talk about virtue, he can stand up to the stage.This suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight, so how can everyone not doubt whether the prince offended the emperor, so he was put into confinement.

Only Zhang Ying and the others who knew a little bit about the inside story, like Mingzhu who guessed something through clues, could contact the prince who must have left the capital.

Zhang Ying and the others looked at each other and smiled wryly one after another. His Royal Highness was so good at getting rid of the golden cicada's shell that he didn't even inform them in advance.

Kangxi, who returned to Qianqing Palace, finally breathed a sigh of relief, remembering that the group of ministers turned the corner and asked the prince just now, and he was almost overwhelmed by the question, so he felt a little helpless.

The reason why he deliberately concealed the matter of building a dam on the Yellow River from the courtiers was because he was too lazy to listen to their endless discussions but could not make up his mind, and secondly, he felt that it would be a waste of time to wait for them to finish their discussions.Since Jin Fu was allowed to do it, he had to pave the way ahead.

Kangxi sighed, thinking that he didn't know how long he could hide it, and when Jin Fu started to recruit people, he would know when he should know.He could already imagine that impeachment papers would be flying all over the sky.

After all, it's just a few words that waste people's money and delay farming.

As for why he went without telling the prince?It's not because he is afraid that the courtiers will bear grudges with the prince.

The work of the river work is not as good as disaster relief, and it is not a big job, but if a cunning person is in charge, there will definitely be lucrative money to be made.Once the courtiers knew that only the crown prince and Jin Fu were busy with this matter, the crown prince and the others dared not offend him publicly, but the courtiers were still very happy to impeach Jin Fuyang to violate the law.

As an emperor with a strong desire to be in charge, Kangxi naturally didn't want his son's reputation to be tarnished by Jin Fu, who had not made any achievements, so he had to make a bad move to cover it up first.

Of course Yinfeng and Jin Fu didn't know about these things, because they were busy measuring the distance of the river.

On the second day of the attack on Yan'an Mansion, Yinfeng didn't show any courtesy to Jin Fu, and directly asked to go to the Yellow River to have a look.Jin Fu hesitated to speak to his darkened face.

Until Yinfeng thought that he was dissatisfied with his seizure of power, Jin Fu said, "Why don't your highness rest in the government office first, and report the truth to your highness after measuring with your subordinates?"

He intuitively felt that the prince's body was delicate, and he was really worried that the wind, food, and sleeping in the open would cause some disease to the master's body, so he suggested that the master should rest for a few more days.

Yinfeng raised his eyebrows, "My lord, don't forget that Gu is here to be your assistant. Now that the river is impossible to go, how can I help you?"

This half-threatening, half-serious tone made Jin Fu choke.After thinking about it, he compromised and said: "There is still some distance to go to the river, I will arrange a carriage." But I can't help it, just obey.

Seeing that his expression was too serious, Yinfeng joked: "Khan Ama often taught Gu to remember me and Manchus to be brave on horseback. From the capital to Shanxi, Gu came here on horseback. Now he is so weak that he needs to take a carriage."

The horse he was riding was the same one he rode when he followed the sneaking border. It had good foot strength and was very stable, so he didn't feel any pain during this journey.

Jin Fu's suggestions were blocked, so he could only say helplessly: "Let's go now, Your Highness."

Yinfeng smiled, "According to what your lord said." Then he stopped Huaiqing and the others who wanted to follow him, and ordered them to guard the house and not leave without authorization.

Huaiqing and the others were weeping, and Jin Fu looked very depressed.He was afraid of the prince because he knew that the princes would not be able to endure daily hardships. Now the prince has nothing to do with him, but his servants have a lot of opinions.

Yinfeng didn't look at anyone's face, he asked someone to lead the horse, and got on the horse.Then sit tight on the horse.

Seeing his anticipation, Jin Fu didn't say much anymore.The two finally set off against the rising sun.

It's mid-winter now, and the climate in Shaanxi is rather cloudy and cold. Yinfeng sat steadily on the horse, listening to Jin Fu talk about the widening of the river every year.

As he listened, he thought about it. In fact, it is not very suitable to build a dam here in Shaanxi. The ground here is soft, and it is very troublesome to lay the foundation.It's just that he hasn't seen the river in the dry season, so he can't jump to conclusions, so he just listened to Jin Fu's words without interjecting or interrupting.

After Jin Fuyan briefly introduced the general situation, he was about to ask the prince's opinion, when he saw Yinreng was meditating with lowered eyebrows, so he didn't interrupt.

Along the way, he has somewhat changed his opinion of the future heir of the Qing Dynasty. Although his status is noble, his courteousness is not overly arrogant, and he treats people gently. .

It was not a lie that Jin Fu said that the distance was not close. Together with the escort guards and Jin Fu's subordinate officials, the group set off at Chenshi and walked for two hours before reaching the edge of the Yellow River.

When we got to the Yellow River, it was almost noon.Yinreng didn't care to rest, and ran towards the river when he got off.

This season is officially the dry season, so the purpose of entering is not the rushing and turbulent river in the past, but the dry and muddy riverbed.Looking up, the sky is high and the sun is far away, and there is a large area of ​​loess Qiuze under the bright and clear sky, the contrast is really strong.

Jin Fu took out the map from the package on the horse's belly, spread it out, and handed it to Yinfeng, saying: "This place is considered the widest part of the Yellow River, and every year the Yellow River carries away a lot of sediment from here. If the dam blocks the water potential, the downstream will be a tidal flat in a few years."

He has served as the governor of the river for many years, and has extensive experience in river management and observation.

Yinfeng took the map and looked at it carefully for a while before asking: "Your Excellency, you mean that the dam is going to be built at the location on the map?" The expected location has been marked on the map, and it is at least a few hundred miles north of Yan'an Mansion.

"Exactly," Jin Fu said, "I have already sent people to investigate. This place is located between two plateaus, the terrain is relatively flat, and it is most suitable for construction." He was afraid that the master would not understand the reason, so he explained it wholeheartedly.

"My lord, can you count the construction period?"

"In the past, it took half a year to build a river embankment. Such a large fortification always took two years."

"What does it say on the money?" Yinfeng asked.

He always needs to know Jin Fu's general plan, so he can intervene and say that he thinks differently from him.But whether Jin Fu will listen or not depends on how much he is willing to talk.After all, talented people probably hate laymen meddling in their own affairs.

Jin Fu said calmly: "I just made a rough calculation. After two years of consumption, it will take 80 miles to pay for it."

This is only a rough calculation of the salaries of the craftsmen, the materials used for the dam, and the money for the expropriation of laborers, and it does not include the money needed for the backup plan in case of accidents.

Yinfeng was not surprised by this range of money. Not only did he not think it was too much, but he even felt that if he followed his thinking, maybe the 80 taels of silver might not be enough.

You must know that the construction of river embankments in the past was only made of mixed materials such as tarpaulin and mirage, which already cost a lot.If, as he thought, all lime cement was used to lay the foundation, the cost might be doubled again.

Of course, finding someone to make cement in the early stage will definitely take up more than half.Now there is no such large-scale machine available in later generations, and it must take a lot of effort to do it manually by brute force.

So Yinreng only regards his own as the back option, and dare not focus on his own drawings.Before he came here, he had read the accounting books of the Ministry of Accounts, and he knew that the current treasury had been filled with profits from commercial taxes and annual contributions from Russia, which was enough to support the fortifications designed by Jin Fu.

Yinfeng put away the map and did not express any further opinions, but suggested to Jin Fu: "Go a little further."

Jin Fu nodded and said in agreement, "This is the widest place, and it is much narrower than here in the first fifty miles." The Yellow River is like this, and the width is always disproportionate.

A group of people got on their horses again and walked for half an hour.Yinfeng asked as he walked, "Do you have any other ideas about how to build this dam?"

"I have discussed it with the craftsmen. The patterns and drawings are in the study. If Your Highness is interested in taking a look, I will send them to you."

Yinfeng was indeed very interested in his drawings, so he said bluntly: "Gu will wait."

Although his own was a spare, he really wanted to see the difference between Jin Fu's design and his own.

The tone of the words was somewhat provocative, Jin Fu looked at him a few more times in surprise, and then respectfully said: "Yes, I will bring it to His Highness immediately when I go back."

This is similar to the activity of Journey to the East. After seeing the places marked by Jin Fu, the group went back home.

Back in the temporary office, Jin Fu took out the drawings he had drawn for a long time without hesitation.It's just that his drawing is different from the drawing method Yinfeng learned from the system, so Yinfeng had to convert it silently in his heart when he read it, so as to know what the value and design are.

In fact, Jin Fu's drawings are relatively more difficult than Yinreng's own design. Not only the base and the main body of the dam, he also used mechanism techniques to design gates that need to be pushed by manpower for flood discharge and storage.

The share in Yinrong's hand came according to the water storage suggestions provided by the system, ignoring the power of machines in later generations, and only had a special water storage pool designed separately.

The designs on the two sides are different, and Yinfeng is even more fascinated by it.

It wasn't until Jin Fu reminded: "Your Highness, what's wrong?" Yinfeng reacted and asked, "My lord, these designs are very ingenious, but where did you learn them from?" He knew that Jin Fu had experience in managing rivers. But I didn't know that he was also so proficient in designing dams.

Jin Fu was used to being complimented by others, but he didn't show any pride, he just said lightly: "I like to read some miscellaneous books every day, and I get something occasionally."

Seeing that he didn't want to discuss it in depth, Yinreng somewhat regretted it.But thinking that Jin Fu might be surprised when he took out the drawings, he put his heart back in his stomach.

He looked again and again at the institutions he was interested in, and couldn't help but praise: "It's really a blessing for me to have such a capable person."

Jin Fu was used to being out of joy and anger, and when he heard the praise, he just said lightly: "I dare not take it."

"Can I take Gu to take a closer look at these?" Yinfeng stared into his eyes, "Don't worry, my lord, I will keep them carefully. After reading them today, how about returning them to you tomorrow?"

Jin Fu is not a stingy person, let alone his master who borrowed things, so he readily agreed.

Seeing this, his servant felt a little distressed for him, for fear that his lord's hard work would be ruined by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Having borrowed what he wanted, Yinfeng went back to his room contentedly.

Jin Fu looked at his back and stroked his beard, and said to himself: "This Prince is quite different from what I imagined."

Yinfeng was watching intently by himself, Huaiqing and the others didn't dare to disturb, so they all backed out of the door, just in time to hear this sentence.Huaiqing slandered: "Wait, where is the part that His Highness shocked you?"
