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

Lu Buwei, a man who has just passed his thirties, was born in the country of Wei. Although his life is quite tortuous, but because he has a bit of talent and a bit of luck, to be honest, he can succeed in everything, and he has hardly encountered anything. defeat.

He used to be a scholar with outstanding literary talent.

Later, he was a businessman, and he became rich in just a few years.

Then he became a leader of the army, and achieved amazing results in the case of insufficient food and grass.

And just when he thought that his life was about to reach its pinnacle—stepping into the imperial court, being a respected minister, and proud of himself, he never expected that one day he would stand at the top of the field and watch his ten-year-old son take command for him.

In this place, his identity is actually a vassal of his son.

Yes, Lu Buwei doesn't know how to farm, not only can't he, he may be the kind of Huaxia who was born without farming skill points,

In his eyes, soil is soil, and he can’t tell the difference between clay, sand, and loam, and he can’t tell the difference between yellow soil and yellow-brown soil from a visual point of view, and he can’t tell what kind of soil it is with a pinch of his hand. Moisture content, porosity.

But his son can.As long as that chubby little hand touched the land, it didn't take long for his son to talk about the problems of the land and get the approval of the local old farmers.

Lu Buwei looked at his son with deep eyes.

His father said before that Lu An had no mind for the first five years since he was born. He should be called by God to teach knowledge. He naturally believed in his father's judgment.But as Lu An grew up and studied, except that his learning ability was much better than other children, Lu An didn't show any other special things when he was with Lu Buwei.

So Lu Buwei almost forgot that his son had been bestowed by the gods. Only now did he notice that his son is not without special features, but his special features are only manifested between the ridges of the fields.

His son... Could it be...

Just as he was thinking wildly, he suddenly saw his son turn his head and glance across the area, his big round eyes suddenly lit up when he noticed him, "Daddy——"

The child shook his hand violently at him, with an aggrieved expression, "Daddy, they don't understand what An'er is talking about!!"

Lu Buwei quickly walked over, hugged his frustrated son, and patted his back lightly to comfort him.Lu An huddled in his arms and muttered, "Why don't you understand? An'er has already made it so clear."

"Actually, I don't understand at all... I can't understand what this kid is talking about ==".This sentence was clearly written on the faces of several farmers around.

There is a language barrier between Lu An and the old Qin people, not to mention that there are many of Lu Xiaoan's own words. In the end, helpless Lu Buwei asked Lu An to write down a few special words for him to translate.

Unexpectedly, even his father didn't know what he was talking about... Lu Xiaoan was deeply shocked, and he was languid all afternoon. This pitiful little appearance aroused the eyes of the old Qin people who came and went.But after a while, a few frozen pears and persimmons were stuffed into Lu An's palm, so Lu Buwei saw his son grinning from the cold holding the frozen pears, greedy and refusing to let go.

...Did he think too much before?Lu Buwei rubbed his nose, feeling that his guess just now was outrageous, how could his son be that one? ...

Now the father and son are located in the place called Xianyangyuan by later generations—yes, it is the place selected by Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty as the cemetery of the old Liu family decades later.

This is a treasure land of geomantic omen.

Its terrain is slightly higher than the Guanzhong Plain, and it can overlook the four directions from a condescending height. Whether it is the defense of the capital or the advantages of flood control, it is superior to Chang'an.Therefore, it was selected by Qin Xiaogong as the location of the Qin Palace after the capital was moved.

The father and son are now located on the north slope of the Qin Palace, and the reason they came here is that Qin Wang Yingji, who is insane due to lack of food, has assigned a new task to Lu Buwei, which is to find a way to farm here .

After arriving here to observe the scene, Lu Buwei knew why this task was given to him who had no experience in Zhuangyi.The terrain of Xianyang Plain is high and the loess is deep. It is the only steep plateau surrounded by mountains and water in the Guanzhong Plain. However, because of its protruding terrain and possible human factors, there are no rivers and lakes on this land. In other words, there is no water for irrigation.

The palace has a special reservoir for water, but it is obviously impossible for them to use this reservoir to irrigate the farmland, and it is impossible to build another reservoir now. When the reservoir is completed, the spring plowing will be over long ago. .

Although the King of Qin didn't set a time for him to complete the death task, as a subject, he must be able to read the leader's mind. He couldn't guess ten points, but he had to try his best to guess seven or eight points.

What does King Qin want most now?Nature is food.In addition to food, he may also want to use the emperor's farming behavior as an example to encourage the people to cultivate more varieties.For this reason, he specially gave up a large hinterland in the northern part of the Qin Palace for people to plant. If Lu Buwei said: Your Majesty, please wait for me, the foundation here is too poor and we need some time. Let’s forget about this year. Let’s fight for next year. Will the King of Qin accept it? ?

of course not.

And what was it that Lu Buwei was attracted to by the King of Qin?Naturally, it was the waterwheel that his family had just tinkered with.

The king of Qin took a fancy to the water wheel's ability to pump water up, so he wanted to use it to pump up the water from the Jing River below Xianyang Plain for irrigation.

This idea is completely feasible in theory, but how to make it feasible in practice depends on Lu Buwei.

Lu Buwei first invited craftsmen to take measurements, but the news he got was not very good.According to the artisans, if the height of Xianyangyuan is considered, a water storage platform must be built in several places on the Banpo, and then the water will be sent up layer by layer.

This idea is also an approach that works in theory, but sucks in practice.

Among other things, the slope near the Jinghe River is steep, and water trucks are required to transfer the water layer by layer, which means that every time irrigation is done, someone must go down and pedal on the half-hill slope. It is already difficult for people to walk on the half-hill slope. Now, I still have to run on it, and if it is not good, this part will collapse.

Of course, there are other reinforcement methods, but the huge project is not as safe and reliable as digging an artificial reservoir.

After asking around, there was no other better way, so Lu Buwei could only bring his son here.As soon as Lu Xiaoan landed, he was like a calf being let out of the fence, running back and forth on the ground with extreme excitement, and even pulled him over to see the spectacle where the Jinghe River and the Weihe River meet.

When the child finally calmed down, Lu Buwei took him to see the situation and height difference of the currently delineated planting areas.It is [-] meters from the plain of Xianyang Plain to the Jing River below. It is absolutely impossible to lift the water up by water trucks at this height according to the current situation.

Lu An vetoed all the previous plans without hesitation, but he felt that the idea of ​​storing water halfway up the mountain was possible.

Holding the brush, the child drew a round... well, wheel on the parchment, and then began to fill in various elements on the side. Lu Buwei was silent for a long time looking at this weird painting, and finally called the craftsman.

Lu An’s plan is to use the stable water flow of the Jing River to build a waterwheel to raise the water level to a certain level as much as possible, and then store a part of it there, and then use the wind power of Xianyang to build a windmill to pump water from this height. If the drop is too large and cannot be pumped up, then build another step and use two windmills, one waterwheel or more.

Of course, in order to prevent the soft loess from being unable to withstand the water pressure, the water volume of each reservoir will not be too large, but the advantage is that such an operating system pumps water day and night and transports it to the field. When reclamation, as long as there is a slight slope so that the water can flow from north to south, the need for artificial irrigation can basically be eliminated.

The advantage of using a windmill is that its control is above the Xianyang Plain. If there is no need for water irrigation during the rainy season or harvest period, just block the top windmill and prevent it from turning.

In order to conduct field investigations, Lu Buwei and his party went boating on the Jing River several times, and invited people who were good at observing hydrology to measure the highest and lowest water levels of the Jing River for them.

Based on this, the craftsmen made a small wooden concept model and the experiment was successful.After receiving the special approval, this Great Qin Kingdom... no, it can be said that it is the first step in the world's first water pumping and irrigation activities.

Write the "Engineering Plan Risk Assessment Form".

What the hell is this?

The master general and the major general who were sent to support were puzzled by the serious expression on Xiao Douding's face.The major general has a bad temper, and even wanted to push the child away and have a conversation with Lu Buwei directly, but unfortunately, Lu Buwei was helpless.

"You are his father!" The major general was shocked.

"Your Majesty ordered An'er to take full responsibility." Lu Buwei smiled wryly.

The major general and general were completely speechless.What the hell?Your Majesty, Your Majesty actually entrusted such an important project to a little boy?Ah, speaking of this, the documents they received seemed to say that they were assisting Lu An, but the master craftsman actually thought that Lu An was Lu Buwei's name or name at first, but he never thought that Lu An was Lu Buwei's son.

...I always feel that there is a story in it.

In fact, the general thought too much, there was really no story, Lu Buwei really didn't want his son to be exposed to others prematurely, but he really couldn't hide this matter.Xianyang was originally under the eyelids of the Qin Palace, and Lu Xiaoan, who was running around everywhere, couldn't hide at all.

King Qin did not call Lu An, nor did he give Lu Buwei the opportunity to use the excuses he had prepared before.When he gave the order, he wrote Lu An's name at the front.

——This is Qin State, a place where talents are promoted. It is absolutely impossible for a ten-year-old child to be in charge of engineering design in other countries, but it has appeared in Qin State, and it has not been opposed by anyone !It can be seen that King Qin's power is in his hands.

Lu Buwei took a deep breath, outsiders could only see how much King Qin attached importance to children, but from another perspective, it might not be putting pressure on him.

After all, An'er is still young, even if he has a talent for tidying up the land, he has no experience in dealing with people, calculating materials, and allocating labor, so he can only be taken care of by his father.If Lu Buwei was in charge, then he might have plans to save some energy and let Lu An do it... Lu Buwei had to spend twelve minutes to ensure that the project was foolproof.

Because Lu An is the only son of Lu Buwei, and he is the inheritance of the Lu family.The reason why Lu Buwei chose to jump back and forth between business registration and civil registration is that he put the hope of family recovery on his descendants.In other words, once Lu An fails to live up to his expectations, all of Lu Buwei's efforts will be in vain.

Whether Lu An is good or not is hard to say for the time being, but in this era when reputation is extremely important, it is impossible for Lu Buwei to let his son get the reputation of "poor work" at a young age.

This is the emperor's mind, and it is also a means of employing people.

With a smile on his face, Lu Buwei explained to the two what risk assessment is, and handed the format to the two for reference.

To put it simply, risk assessment is to pre-list the problems that may be encountered in the project, the reasons for the problems, how to solve the problems, the worst results, and the identifiability of risks.

To put it bluntly, it is to write down all the worst-case scenarios and their consequences in advance.This behavior of poking bad news before the start of work has never happened before. The overly detailed classification made the two general officials frown. I had to grit my teeth and start chewing on the parchment.

After all, they were used to engineering. Although the situation was a little different this time, it was still the same. They handed over the answer sheet to Lu An on the same day.Unexpectedly, the child returned the parchment with only one glance.

The two elders were really annoyed, so when Lu An asked, the child's voice was still full of uncontrollable milkiness: "The two of you already know the entire construction process, construction situation and ultimate purpose of this project. ,Is it right?"

Of course, they were taken to see the model and schematic diagram when they first arrived here, so they naturally knew the project situation very well.

Lu An pursed his lips, and said again: "When An first arrived here, his father took him to see what the Jing River and Wei River look like. It really is as clear as the Wei River written in the Book of Songs."

The two were even more puzzled about what the child was trying to say, but they patiently echoed a few words, and explained the principle of this miracle to the child.

As craftsmen, of course they would not talk about the story of the goddess of the Jinghe River and the Weihe River, but said that the sediment content is different. Unexpectedly, the child raised his eyebrows after hearing this, "Since you two know that the sediment content of the Jinghe River is quite high. Many, why didn't you think that the water we pumped up would contain sediment?"

He took two risk documents, "Whether it is a watermill or a windmill, it may be blocked by silted sand and need to be cleaned up. Didn't the two of you think of it?"

"The significance of the risk plan is to pre-conceive all possible negative situations, and try to avoid or mitigate their impact, so that craftsmen will know how to deal with unexpected situations." Lu An seriously criticized, "Any small mistake now may cost lives in the future. We are the brains of the entire team. If we don't want to, do we have to rely on our hands and feet to think?"

In the end, this document written by Lu An, the general, and the major general, and copied by Lu Buwei was sent to King Qin together with the renderings. King Qin opened his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows. His first reaction was It's too scary to say this one by one, why did you even mention the land collapse?

But after he closed the parchment, he felt that he had a clearer understanding of this project than ever before.The best result is to make it as shown in the picture, the worst result...

King Qin touched his chin, he felt as if he had grasped something, and he immediately ordered Lu Buwei to enter the palace to explain it in detail.After the two talked for half a day, Lu Buwei went back with the documents that had been sealed by King Qin, but King Qin Yingji was thinking about how he would extend this form to every management decision.

Not only the risk form, but also this simple and clear method of using grids as the form of expression.Although it seems a little too expensive to use parchment as a carrier, there is no way to simplify it on the bamboo slips, right?

King Qin, who was too old to read documents, touched his chin. Suddenly, he felt a little jealous. How can other people's sons be so capable? He can share his father's worries at such a young age...

The next day, all the sons of Qin State in Xianyang received a homework assignment from their old father, asking them to find ways to change the current official document format to be more concise.

The sons of Qin who received this strange order were very baffled. Then, they came from the palace, and they more or less had some information channels, so they quickly found out about Lu Buwei's place by following clues, and brought this to his father's attention. The documents of reform ideas were copied and studied carefully.

After five days, all the young masters handed in their homework one after another.After Ying Ji turned over one by one, his eyes finally stayed on the share handed over by Prince An Guojun.But he knew exactly how important his second son was, and this could never be An Guojun's handwriting.

He called someone over to ask, and mentioned the grandson and other people, and then followed the clues, and touched his great-grandson.

... what the hell?Is his great-grandson still breastfeeding?

"Zheng'er can already eat some soft food." Yiren's eyes lit up when he mentioned his son, and he said with great pride, "Zheng'er is extremely smart, the smartest child my grandson has ever seen."

Yingji: "..."

Ying Ji was really speechless this time. He just looked at his grandson quietly. Fortunately, the abnormality of the foreigner was only for a very short time, but he returned to his serious appearance after a while. The grandfather talked about how his son inspired him.

To put it simply, Yingji threw the task to his son. After the son was distressed, he learned how to go back and threw the task to his grandson. The grandson who was obediently doing his homework was seen by his great-grandson and ordered it casually. With a few words, the grandson Mao Sai suddenly grasped the purpose of the old grandfather, so the homework was handed in layer by layer, and finally it was in his hands.

Yingji, who felt that his heart function was very healthy, felt a heartache at this moment. He was also a son, so why was there such a big difference?

He couldn't help stretching out his hand to press the center of his brows, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "In this way, I haven't seen your wife and children since they returned to Xianyang, um... why don't you bring them to meet this afternoon, and the widow has to give it to you." The lady made up a meeting gift."

When the stranger heard the words, his face beamed with joy, "Grandson thanked Father!"

One month later, Gong Zizheng was said to be very favored by the King of Qin, so he was taken over and raised by his great-grandfather. The success of the old King of Qin's "grandchildren" made the surrounding countries heave a sigh of relief.Several young kings praised King Qin's retirement life one after another, and sent a bunch of gifts to congratulate the old King Qin on his grandson.Even Zhou Tianzi, who already had a very low sense of existence, sent a message of congratulations at this time. Of course, Zhou Tianzi, who was already very poor, had no gifts to give.

Several old princes and kings also wrote sour letters, saying that your old opponent is living a beautiful life. It seems that there are successors to Qin!Hey, we can't do it, the goose doesn't live up to it, we really want to live a fairy life like you!

But no matter what was written in the letter, these princes and kings sincerely hoped that Yingji would be addicted to playing with his grandson and stop meddling in government affairs. Recruiting planners!Be a little more peaceful.

Yingji accepted all the gifts as they were ordered, and then wrote back one by one to say—not playing with grandsons, but great-grandchildren.Hee hee, the old man has nothing else but live a long life!

Princes and Kings: Damn, I'm so angry! !

The author has something to say:

Ying Ji: I released a grandson and brought back a grandson-in-law... Then I have a smart great-grandson, quack quack quack.

Xia Miao: I was just talking casually... I never expected it.

Ying Zheng: I was just talking casually... I never expected +1

The old Qin people are really tigers in employing people, they really dare to use anyone, as long as they are talented, it doesn't matter what country you are from, how old you are or what country you are.

Bailixi, who was compared with Shang Yang before, was in his 70s when he was appointed, and he was a slave. Even if Hong Kong is modern, no employer in his 70s would dare to use him, right?

After that, there was Gan Luo, who was able to go to Zhao alone at the age of 12, so it was nothing for me to plant a field at the age of ten. Don’t call it a golden finger, otherwise I will serve you!
