[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

Although the cow likes water, even though it is a little uncomfortable under such a torrent, under the comfort and seduction of Xia Anran stuffing a piece of maltose, it also obediently stood in the right position. After him, it is owned by Chenggao County. The old scalper, Xia Anran sat on the back of the ox, smiled and greeted the people who were leading the ox.

These people were known by Xia Anran when he was collecting livestock manure. Cow dung is a very important source of livestock manure. He had visited the place where the waterwheel was planted this time before with the carpenter, and he also knew the terrain here.

It's just that he has no memory of living here after all, and he doesn't know the speed of the water flow after the dry season, but the impression that the Yellow River stops flowing every winter has been deeply ingrained in his mind, so he made two preparations.

In advance, he discussed this matter with the family in Chenggao who had cattle. Everyone disagreed. The cattle are the most important property of a family. Many people's cattle are not owned by the family, but shared by several households. Under Xia Anran's persuasion several times, and the promise of the Lu family that if the old cow was injured, they would give them a calf after the family cow gave birth, and led the old cow out. old cow.

An adult yellow ox weighs about [-] kilograms. Once these oxen are blocked, the flow rate will slow down immediately, but it is still not enough. The oxen do not want to go into deep water. They are standing on the beach of the Yellow River. , and also get the deep water part, this part is embarrassing.

Or, withdraw it first, and build it again when there is more drought?

County magistrate Pang was a little hesitant, but the water temperature would be lower when the drought continued.

That's all, the waterwheel can be built at any time, it still depends on the people, and then we can think of a way.

Just as he was about to order everyone to retreat, he saw several young and middle-aged men taking off their jackets and tying each other with ropes. They couldn't find any heavy stones for a while, so they tied the meadow of livestock feed at home as an anchor. Water, the meadow swells after absorbing water, and its weight is not small.

Then came the slightly older middle-aged men, who saw that the young men were not enough, laughed and laughed at them for being worthless, and then went into the water with the worried eyes of the mother-in-law.

Slowly, the people below stopped. They learned the posture of linking their arms with each other while reminding each other. They formed a human wall with their backs and blocked the flow of the Yellow River with their backs, buying time for the craftsmen.

The craftsmen had tears in their eyes, and the audience was silent except for the sound of waterwheels being moved.

Fortunately, the waterwheel has just been erected, and now it is moving a little. The bottom of the Yellow River is full of mud and sand, but there are no big rocks, so it is relatively easy to move. Even so, they moved for nearly three hours.

During this period of time, the people in the river changed twice. Once the women on the bank saw someone coming up from below, they quickly put the quilt on the person and poured down a large bowl of brown sugar and ginger water.

At this time, no one thought about how expensive brown sugar was, and no one thought about whether the person who came up had a quarrel with his family.

They only knew that everyone was from Chenggao, and those who got into the water were all good men.

The cattle in the river couldn't stop them, but they bought time for the women to sew sandbags. At this time, every household took out some fabrics, and some simply tore off the quilt leather. This one is big enough to cover more sandbags. Lots of sand.

Driven by such an atmosphere, the woman, no matter how stingy she is on weekdays, also brought out some fabrics.

As the so-called unity can make a city, under the unity of all, the waterwheel was finally set up.

There have been several batches of people in the river, and when the county magistrate on the shore ordered everyone to go ashore, several people had lost their strength, and it was a few gentlemen who got into the water to get the boy up, even though they said He couldn't avoid ridicule, but his eyes were full of pride.

Hehehe, the brat at home is also a man.

At this moment Xia Anran had already been stripped naked by Madam Lu, wiped clean and changed into another set of clothes. Madam Lu was very dissatisfied with his reckless behavior, and said that she would save face for the brat outside and criticize it when she went back.

In contrast, the old scalpers who have done the same meritorious deeds are much happier. They are all eating the tender grass specially cut by children, squinting their eyes and basking in the sun, not to mention how comfortable they are.

Fortunately, there were no accidents this time. Although there have been several accidents, fortunately none of them were dangerous, because the current here is gentle and there are no hidden reefs or whirlpools, which can be regarded as the blessing of heaven.

When the people on their side landed on the bank, the people on the other side of the river also breathed a sigh of relief. Just now on the other side of the river, a few people who can swim came to help out, and now they are also drinking sugar water on this side of the river. The atmosphere of the two villages is unprecedentedly friendly.

After everyone retreated and removed the sandbags, the craftsmen loosened the rope binding the turntable, and while everyone was waiting, the turntable began to spin extremely slowly in the water.

The bamboo tube scoops up water in the Yellow River, then lifts it up, and dumps it down at a certain position in the air as it turns.

The first turn was extremely slow, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and cheered when they actually saw the water pouring down.

As for the speed of this speed, no one cares.

No matter how slow it is, it doesn't stop. It is still working when everyone sleeps at night. This is already more diligent than the most diligent old scalper!

Xia Anran was somewhat dissatisfied.

He rubbed his chin, feeling like he forgot something. He remembered that there is a way to increase the speed of the waterwheel... By the way, it seems to increase the resistance by increasing the contact surface. The greater the resistance, the greater the power for the waterwheel.

Just as he was about to tell the craftsmen about this, he saw several carpenters gathered around the small water wheel he had made before, and a young man hung a small piece of wood on the wheel body while making gestures.

Xia Anran was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

He put his hand into the sleeve pocket of the other hand, and looked at the lively scenery on the bank of the Yellow River with a smile.

He only felt that it was a pity that his painting was so bad, otherwise he really wanted to keep this scene and pass it on.

When the river was full of joy, a team of guards arrived. They came to look for the county magistrate Pang. These people first looked at the waterwheel for a while, and thought it was a bit interesting, but probably because of their heavy hearts, they didn't ask any more questions. Handed over the letter to Pang county magistrate.

Pang County Magistrate Zhan Xin, then his expression became more and more serious and condensed, and the original joyful aura suddenly disappeared.

He closed the letter, flirted with the coming county magistrate, and said in a low voice, "Thieves Dong allowed his officers and soldiers to kill indiscriminately in the capital, committing all kinds of rape and looting."

Although his voice was low, Xia Anran relied on his keen sense of hearing to hear the information from downwind, and he quickly grasped the key points.

It's October now, remember this time...Dong Zhuo is at the time when he is powerful, Luoyang City...

He sighed.

Looking at the slowly turning windmill, the mood was no longer as bright as it was just now. Instead, I felt a little absurd that this was the wheel of fortune starting to turn.

Troubled times, the future.

At this moment, Xia Anran didn't feel the joy of seeing the heroes vying for the throne, but felt a little sad.

Just for that sentence, prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer.

He raised his head slightly, glanced at the people who were building a water platform for the water truck with great interest, and then at the county magistrate and county magistrate who were deeply frowning.

He moved slowly and walked over.

All of a sudden, the face of Huang Lao who was generously reciting Fu, the teacher's earnest teaching, the scene when everyone recited poems at the Luming Banquet, and the scene when Master Su went to die calmly, many and many scenes converged into the last sentence.

For, the world is peaceful.

He bowed to the end, "Pang Dao, it's time to practice."

Chenggao Pass is now just a pass where Liu Bang left fortifications during the dispute between the Heavenly Stems of the Yellow River and the Chu-Han. These days, Xia Anran has walked to the pass in his free time and studied it carefully. Since the Chu-Han War, For more than [-] years so far, although Chenggao Pass has often undergone minor repairs, there has been no major repairs.

Especially in recent years, Chenggao Pass is the only east-west passage in Luoyang City. For the convenience of commercial routes, the city gates have been widened and the ground has been repaired, but the city walls have not been raised and the moat has not been dredged for a long time.

Xia Anran came from the Red Mansion, had just experienced the battle of defending the city before coming here, and passed through the Xianxia Pass built in the future when he entered Fujian, and now it is regarded as Gaoguan...it is a bit unsightly.

County Magistrate Pang looked at this young man, his eyes narrowed slowly, and Xia Anran also looked straight at him.

Mencius once said that what exists in people is better than the eyes, because the eyes cannot hide the evil.

It means that if you want to observe a person, you should look into his eyes. A person's expression, posture, and words can be deceiving, but the eyes cannot be hidden.

As bright as a star.

Bright as the moon.

Don't dodge or dodge, beware of the word "positive".

He stroked his beautiful mustache, nodded secretly in his heart, but didn't show it on his face. Instead, he scolded lightly, "Idiot boy, my county has just issued corvee, how can I work hard on the people again."

Xia Anran blinked slightly, "My lord, since mid-autumn, there has been little rain in my land, and according to the situation, the weather is dry."

He looked at the Yellow River. This mother river feeds the people along its banks, but every time the water volume decreases greatly in the dry season, the soft sandy soil underneath will be exposed. "It's only early autumn, and the water level has dropped. The drop was a bit more than in previous years, so the carpenters couldn't find the right place to build the waterwheel for a while."

He turned his gaze back and found that the eyes of Pang County Magistrate had become sharper, and Xia Anran was not afraid. Recently, he has become accustomed to the sharp eyes of these scribes, "My lord, if I predict correctly, this winter, the Yellow River The water level will drop."

If the water level of the Yellow River drops, it is bound to be unable to stop the enemies coming from north to south.

Without the barrier in the north, only the southern mountain range and a city wall built against the mountain remained in Chenggao County.

He slightly twitched the corner of his lower lip, but there was no smile in his eyes, "My lord, under the cover of the nest, there will be no eggs left."

"Oh?" County Magistrate Pang also raised the corners of his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes. "You mean, you want to teach me how to be an official?"

"Just because of you yellow mouth kid?"

"Just rely on my yellow-mouthed kid."

The two looked at each other for a moment, and County Magistrate Pang suddenly laughed out loud.

"I am a big man, and I need a young man like you."

Xia Anran thanked him, but he didn't take this compliment seriously. His heart was a little heavy. Since the negotiation just now, he already had a premonition that Pang County Magistrate is a staunch royalist. At that time, he would lead the people of Chenggao County to fight to the death.

Xia Anran glanced at the bustling banks of the Yellow River, and sighed softly. If the world followed the official history, then Dong Zhuo might not have deployed troops to garrison Chenggao Pass. Facing tens of thousands of troops, Chenggao automatically opened the door and let them drive in. , It is also possible that the Yellow River will stop flowing this year, so that the coalition forces do not have to cross the Chenggao Pass at all, and cross the river to detour.

If it is Romance, there will be another battle between the Three Kingdoms and Lu Bu at Chenggaoguan.

After this battle, Cheng Gao can live in peace for a few years before going to Guandu...

It's just that Xia Anran always feels that he has forgotten something, and he can't remember it for a while.

Forget it, let's finish the things that are right in front of us first.

He sat in front of Pang county magistrate, as a guest seat, and also as the main seat.

This is the county magistrate Pang no longer treating him as a child.

"Well, how do you see the situation in this world." After waiting for the county magistrate Pang, he asked an extremely dangerous question.

"Within a year, there will be chaos."

Xia Anran was not afraid, "Dong Zhuo perverted, harmed the supreme, and abused the common people. Since the day he entered the capital, he has never done anything beneficial to the common people. This is the misfortune of the Han Dynasty. The heroes of the world will work together , so that the minister's day."

"However, Dong Zhuo holds a powerful soldier in his hand, and he will not be willing to be captured without a fight. He also has royal blood in his hand. All the officials are wary of rats, so it is difficult to win a quick battle."

"Bold boy." Xia Anran slowly spit out the next sentence, "I've held the military power in my hands for a long time, I'm afraid I won't go back."

County magistrate Pang paused his hand holding the tea bowl, pointed at Xia Anran and said, "You are indeed courageous, so tell me, how can you solve my Chenggao danger?"

Xia Anran lowered her eyes, "Boy, I don't have a good solution. If I insist, it's just a matter of dealing with all parties."

"Oh?"

"Chenggao County is a county on weekdays, and it is a Guancheng in wartime, but in the end, Chenggao is a county and a county for the people." His eyes were burning, "If there are guards in the dynasty, we will be Guancheng, if there is no... we will It's Min County."

His words can be said to be very bold and reckless, but Pang County Magistrate laughed. He suddenly stood up and paced slowly in the hall. Xia Anran's eyes drooped and did not make contact with him. Every sentence he said was enough for Magistrate Pang to punish him, but he also knew that Magistrate Pang would not.

because……

"The old man's child actually said the same thing as you."

Because Pang County Magistrate has a son named Pang Tong.

Xia Anran smiled.

Pang Tong, courtesy name Shiyuan, was born in Xiangyang, Jingzhou. He first escaped the war and defected to Soochow.

Xu Shu once said that the crouching dragon and the phoenix chick can be safe for the world. Originally, Liu Bei had both the crouching dragon and the phoenix chick.It's really embarrassing.

Later, Chen Shou's evaluation of him was that Cai Cai and Xun Yu were on the same level, which shows that this person is very powerful.

And the key is that Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang are complementary in terms of strategy. Zhuge Liang is good at the right way, the way, and Pang Tong's strategy is more purposeful.These two people, one righteous and the other evil, can be said to be the way to govern the country.

Xia Anran knew that Pang County Magistrate was Pang Tong's father. It was really unexpected, because Pang's father was not well-known in history, and he naturally did not link the two surnames, but when Chen Gong and Pang County Magistrate were fighting each other Xia Anran heard that the magistrate Pang complained about his eldest son's stupidity, and then discussed the parenting scriptures with Chen Gong, whose child is only a little old. Among them, he mentioned that the name is very important, such as giving the eldest son his own name. The name "Tong" comes from the fact that loyalty is regarded as a quality, and integrity is regarded as a system.

Who would have thought that his son would suddenly become a bum, Zhongxin and Duanxi hadn't learned yet, they had already become buckets.

Although the county magistrate Pang said at that time that he was sad, angry and wronged, and even took Xia Anran's sand table and wrote two words on it, but Xia Anran didn't feel this cold joke from a literati, but felt as if he had opened his eyes. The protagonist halo is the same.

Just happy to cross my hips.

Then he soon lost his joy, because Pang Tong, whom he strongly asked to see, was a ten-year-old child.

Ok……

Yes, he came earlier. Now Wolong is 8 years old, Fengchu is 9 years old, Xun Yu is 26 years old, and Guo Jia is 19 years old.

Hmm... Xia Anran is 14 and a half years old.

Then, after the two children met each other, they looked at each other for a long time, Xia Anran couldn't help dripping a drop of sweat from the back of his head, but luckily little Pang Tong saw that he was a little uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to find a topic.

Although the two were four years apart, they still had a good chat. Although Pang Tong spoke slowly, he was not dull in the mouth of Pang County Magistrate. Instead, his thinking was extremely quick, but he had very little expression, giving people a slightly dull feeling.

He was born in the family of Yingchuan. Although he is young, he has a wide range of insights, and maybe because children are unscrupulous and unscrupulous, some of the words he said already have the appearance of "unscrupulous" in later generations.

After Xia Anran had a few conversations with him, both of them looked at each other with glowing eyes.

Make sure you look!We must be able to talk.

Two pairs of small hands were held together.

County Magistrate Pang was naturally unaware of these developments. As a traditional father in the Han Dynasty, he would not interfere with his son in anything other than school exams. What's more, he was busy making waterwheels later, so naturally he didn't notice his son and his father. Xia Anran got closer and closer.

until now.

He looked at Xia Anran with complicated eyes.

What Xia Anran mentioned today was mentioned by his son a long time ago. It was the time when he was studying literature. Since he was the county magistrate, he brought his son to leave his hometown and come here. Naturally, it was to let the child get in touch with the meaning of being an official early. As for the matter, no matter whether you are an official or a scholar, it is not wrong to have more knowledge.

When he knew the status of Chenggao County, his son pointed the county on the map and said something similar.

At that time, he only thought that my son was dull, but now combined with Xia Anran's words, he actually felt the chills running down his back. Could it be, could it be that his son meant that at that time?

If so, if so... His child, wouldn't it be said that he was born rebellious?

No, no, when he was looking at the county map, it was the time when Dong Zhuo welcomed the young emperor back to Luoyang... His son also knew about it, after all, this was good news in recent days.

At that time, he and the county magistrate had only talked a few words about Dong Zhuo's actions... Could it be that his child was alert to the imminent huge waves at that time?

Xia Anran and Pang Tong both meant the same thing - don't defend yourself.

Chenggao County is just an ordinary county. If the superiors send troops to this pass, the Chenggao people will pay the grain tax according to law. If no troops are sent, Chenggao will open the city gate and let the rebels pass through the county.

This is the only way to keep the thousands of people in Chenggao County.

But County Magistrate Pang couldn't make up his mind. According to what he had learned, he was a county magistrate and a Han official, and he should use his body as a wall to guard the capital, but he didn't want to protect the people in the capital.

Frankly speaking, if there really is a coalition army and Master Yin of Henan wants to join, he will definitely follow His Excellency, kill the Dong bandits, and help the Han Dynasty.

But, but if adults want to vote for Dong...

Xia Anran saw that his expression was flickering, so he persuaded him, "My lord, let's practice the pass first."

The magistrate Pang sighed, "Forget it, the old man will go to meet your lord some other day."

If the adults allow him to build the border city, it means to guard it.

He looked tired. The county magistrate was facing an extremely difficult choice, he was torn between loyalty to his position and loyalty to his heart. Magistrate Pang waved his hand to signal Xia Anran to go back first, he had to think about it.

This thought reminded me of when the canal was completed.

The craftsmen and the common people work together, and when the farming is slack, there are materials sent by others. It is a long corridor connected by bamboo and wood that can be connected from top to bottom far away from the river beach.

The craftsman is clever and draws water from top to bottom. When it reaches a flat area, it is connected to a water tank. The first water tank is huge, and a few small holes are dug where the water tank is almost full. The water that comes down can only fill the second tank. It will continue to flow, and so on.

The advantage of this operation is that the Yellow River sand is stored in the first few tanks, and the water in the tanks at the back becomes clearer, but the disadvantage is that the water used by people closer to the back will be more passive. Fortunately, everyone has tested it. Basically, all the tanks can be [-]% full in one night, and the entire waterway is public, which means running a few extra steps to fetch water.

The villagers walked slowly along with the tanks, watching them fill up one by one, they were really happy. Although it is the dry season, the waterwheels are running slowly, but the water tanks can be filled without manpower. It saves the labor of farmers to carry water and use water.

This feeling is probably the feeling that every employer spends a few pennies to buy a horse that runs fast and does not need to eat grass.

County Magistrate Pang has had several blisters in the past few days. Every time he sees happy villagers carrying water, he is a little jealous of them being big-hearted and ignorant, but after thinking about it, their current happiness is all due to the county magistrate. for them.

Thinking like this, he can't help feeling that he is an unknown secret hero. Recently, he often stands on a high place in the county in an official robe and looks down at his people.

Naturally, the farmer couldn't understand the complicated mood of the county magistrate, but felt that he had been a little... er, weird, maybe he was suffering from epilepsy... The kind-hearted people of Chenggao spontaneously sent some rice noodles and medicinal materials to the county government, One is to thank the county magistrate for making this thing, and the other is to remind the county magistrate not to forget to take medicine.

But County Magistrate Pang didn't know, he was moved by the people's deep friendship towards him, and since then the balance in his heart began to tilt.

He clenched his fists, it's right, it's the other way around... Ah, no, it's Qing Jun's side!For me to rule the people, do it!

"My lord, my lord..." Just when Pang County Magistrate was full of fighting spirit and black smoke was burning behind him, an old farmer said tremblingly, "Please, please let me go, I, we are going to deliver fodder."

The place where he was standing just blocked the place where the fire dung in Chenggao County must pass through. The black smoke is indeed black smoke, is it all from the fire dung?

Gee.

County Magistrate Pang scolded lightly, and wandered back to his county office very unhappy.

The author has something to say: Wow! !The author is so moved!A lot of people irrigated me yesterday! ! !happy.

By the way, you don't seem to have noticed the foreshadowing of magistrate Pang hehehe.

Seeing a lot of people commenting on the background of the speech area makes my eyes dizzy, uh, actually this is not the background, this is the author’s small gossip class (based on history), you can read it as a story, if you can’t remember the name, just remember it It’s good to keep the protagonist’s name, anyway, if there are a few more pages in the main text, I will overturn history and do it myself (otherwise I can write for a year!)

Today's character is [Pang Tong].

Don't talk about romance, but official history.

Pang Tong had nothing to do with Cao Cao, the two were too far apart, and instead held hands with Zhou Yu.

He is Zhou Yu's secret secretary.

Being able to be Zhou Yu's clerk... In the end, being able to send Zhou Yu's soul... As you know, talent, character, and reputation are all not bad. (I think the appearance should not be bad)

The famous saying in the article [the crouching dragon and the phoenix are one and the world is safe] is actually nothing. The original saying is [Confucian scholars and laymen know current affairs?Those who know current affairs care about heroes, and there are dragons and phoenixes here. 】It probably means that I have two heroes here, one is Wolong and the other is Fengchu.

In fact, it was a very calm tone, similar to the dean asking the teacher if you have any students who are good at poetry recitation, and the teacher said "Oh, Li Qiang and Han Meimei are good at recitation".

In the early days, strictly speaking, Pang Tong's reputation was greater than Zhuge Liang's in the early days.

This point can be seen in the records in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, [Zhuge Liang compares himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi every time, and people at that time couldn't do it. 】That is to say, when Zhuge Liang started boasting, others disapproved. At the same time, Pang Tongtong started to have a dull personality, but when he was 20 years old, he met Pang Degong and was praised by him [Crown of Nanzhou Scholars] At this time, his reputation skyrocketed wave.

It can also be said that he met a Bole.

Pang Tong was born in 179, and when he was 20 years old, in 199, Zhuge Liang was still farming in Nanyang, and he hadn't made a name for himself yet.

Then I can see that Zhuge Liang followed Liu Bei. Leaving aside the high-profile performances in the novel, Zhuge Liang was engaged in a job similar to that of a manager at the beginning, and he was not exposed to others, so his reputation still did not show up at this time, but Pang Tong followed him. Whether it is the governor or the confidential secretary, plus there is a huge difference between Pang Tong in history and Pang Tong in "The Romance".

He can boast.

Especially praise people.

Especially good at complimenting people, the kind of emotional intelligence that explodes.

Maybe it's because of Mr. Pang De's words, Pang Tong is very tolerant of talented people, often likes to criticize others, and basically praises in a good direction.

That's pretty flattering.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, information was not circulated. No matter how talented you are, no one will praise you. But if a talented person praises you, you will be famous all over the world.

See Cao Cao here.

Cao Cao is a third-generation official, and his father is so rich that he can donate [-] million yuan to buy an official for fun. He also asks others to judge him.This is the origin of the phrase [A capable minister who governs the world, a traitor in troubled times].

And like these great literati, they are also willing to appreciate people. Pang Tong belongs to the type who finds advantages from your shortcomings.

For example, if you are dull, he praises you for your patience.

You are smart, he praised your quick reflexes.

The record is the following paragraph, babies can study it

[Lu Ji is like a naive horse, with the strength of leisure.Gu Shao is like an ox, able to bear heavy loads and go far. 】

Someone asked, is it because Lu Ji is better than Gu Shao?

Pang Tong replied, "Although a fine horse runs fast, it can only carry one person; although a stupid cow runs slowly, it can carry many people."

It can be said that emotional intelligence is off the charts.

So Pang Tong is very popular.

But Pang Tong, who is so popular, got along well with his advisors after he came to Liu Bei's tent, mainly because he and Zhuge Liang are like Tai Chi's yin and yang fish, and they are good at different directions.

To Liu Bei... his status may be what Guo Jia is to Cao Cao, and Zhou Yu is to Sun Quan.

I have to sigh, if XXX is still there, why am I here.

As far as Zhuge Liang is concerned, if Pang Tong is still alive, maybe he will not die of exhaustion in the end.

But unfortunately there is no if.

But there is one thing to say, he was more famous than Zhuge Liang in the early days, but it is really hard to say in terms of talent, because he died too early, but I think he should be that kind of pragmatist in terms of offering advice to Liu Bei.

...Uh, if not, he wouldn't be able to come to me anyway. (Reassuring.jpg)

It must be true love who can see this far, so let me tell you a news, the next one Xun Yu is about to appear.
