Chapter 3345 Extra One On the Convenience of Transportation

Life is like this, when you think you are going well and you can face it calmly, it will pour a basin of ice water from the sky and pour it on your head. Da ran forward, one step did not dare to slow.

Such is the life of Zhou Man and Bai Shan.

The two of them were transferred back to the capital from Qingzhou, and they have been living peacefully in the capital for a few years, and they have lived steadily and steadily.

As a result, because of a tea stall in Longzhou, because they sat down and said a few more words, Bai Shan urged Bai Erlang to write a book on dredging the river, managing water transport, and a book on opening granaries to keep prices down. Zhezi, from then on, their lives were unknowingly tied to a mule. The emperor and the crown prince held whips in their hands and threw them fiercely, and they were dragged around by the mules.

Bai Shan went to Bingzhou to meet with Tang He, and the two began to urge the local officials to build more granaries and purchase grain. By the way, they surveyed the local grain merchants and officials.

In addition, we also need to look up local county records, look for river maps and send them back to the Ministry of Industry and the Hanlin Academy.

Zhou Man, for the purpose of dredging the river in the Fen River area, took students from the Imperial Medical Office to station in the Fen River, and after studying two cold and epidemic prevention prescriptions and a prescription for antifreeze ointment, he followed the people who ran up and down to repair the dam. Clear the river.

There was no way, the emperor seemed to like to hang out with their family, and Liu Huan, an official of the Ministry of Works, was also sent here this time.

Liu Huan, the salted fish who had a close match with Bai Erlang, was suddenly thrown over to dred the river, and his tears were about to dry up.

In fact, his grandfather was the Minister of the Ministry of Housing. If he was lazy and didn't work, the officials in charge of the matter and local officials wouldn't say anything. As long as he didn't cause trouble, he could be a mascot.

Happens to be full here.

As a veritable "elder", her eyes just swept over, Liu Huan didn't dare to be lazy, he could only roll up his trouser legs and follow the river to see the situation.

Most of the Fenhe River is open, but some places are blocked due to sediment accumulation, or diverted, or diffused.

What they have to do is to dredge these places, or simply design a more reasonable channel along the modified road, and dig through to form a new channel.

When they finally came back from Fenhe, Liu Huan not only had a dark circle, but also lost a lot of weight. All the flesh that he had raised over the years had lost a lot, and he had lost a lot of weight compared to when he was studying.

It was a lot of energy, but there were signs of frostbite on hands, feet and ears, which made Mrs. Liu Shangshu feel distressed for a while, but she was still happy to see that her grandson was so capable.

At that time, the Fen River was not dredged until June of the second year, and the Wei River was also connected together.

When the shipping was opened, the Zhou family not only went to the Weihe River to join in the fun, but Thursday also prepared a large amount of goods from the capital to the Fen River to Daizhou. Since then, their family's business route has opened again.

But the emperor seems to have discovered another purpose for Zhou Man and Bai Shan, and has been keen to send them out since then.

Zhou Man was sent to inspect the medical offices in various places, and Bai Shan was sent to inspect the government affairs of food and roads in various places.

The comfortable life in the capital is gone forever.

The couple occasionally meet in other places, and occasionally meet in the capital.

When they are lucky, they can stay in the capital for a year and a half, and when they are unlucky, they have to run outside for a year and a half.

Fortunately, the rivers were dredged one by one. The river map made by the Ministry of Industry and the Hanlin Academy became more and more detailed. The map in Bai Shan’s hand was lit up more and more. It was much more convenient for them to travel, sometimes from the capital to Jiangling. The area can be reached in three days.

The construction of water transport is not a one-day work. During the period of busy farming season, the imperial court only issued labor orders during the slack farming season to recruit migrant workers. Except for the garrisoned troops in various places, they spent no more than two months on the river every year. .

Therefore, it took 12 years for Cao Yun to complete the proposal to the court, and this became one of the many achievements in Gaozong's life.

This time, the main purpose of dredging the river is dredging and building a wharf, and the second is digging and digging the river, so that the two sections of the river that do not seem to be so far away are connected to each other, so that the boat can pass.

Thanks to Dajin's high grain yield, developed commerce, and constant tax revenue every year, it can support such a large consumption.

In addition, the new emperor is still benevolent, not in a hurry to see results, and allows all places to cultivate slowly, so except for Bai Shan, who is always on business, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry, the others are ignorant and unaware. It is found that water transportation is so convenient from south to north, from west to east.

When the country's rivers were connected, Zhou Man, who had already made the order of the Imperial Physician's Office, happily resigned.

Xindi, who took ten years to become handy, just glanced at it and threw the book aside, ignoring it.

Zhou Man did not give up, and went up again, saying that although she resigned from office, she still devoted herself to Dajin, and she still did things that were beneficial to Dajin and the emperor. She wanted to go out and study her medical skills deeply and collect difficult problems from all over the world. Miscellaneous diseases, make more contributions to the people of Dajin.

The emperor only glanced at her, "I see that you want to go out to dig those flowers and plants and catch those birds and beasts, right? You have used the name of patrols to search for those exotic flowers and plants, birds and beasts all over the years, and I closed my eyes. If you don't see it with one eye, you still dare to resign for not doing your job right now?"

Zhou Man insisted that she was not doing a proper job, and that she did not believe that she had improved her medical skills over the years?

The emperor just pretended not to hear, and turned his head to ask Bai Shan, who was in the same court meeting, "A husband and wife are also the way to be ministers. You should take good care of your wife."

Bai Shan said helplessly: "Your Majesty, who in the world doesn't know that ministers are afraid?"

emperor:……

Other ministers:  …

Zhou Man turned his head and glared at him, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this minister is sincere, really, there are so many diseases in the world, only in the capital, the progress of medical skills is limited, you wait for the minister to return, and then you will serve your Majesty again. effectiveness."

If it was before, the emperor would have believed it, but he is no longer the new emperor of the year, but an old emperor who has been ten years old, and he will not be deceived by Zhou Man long ago.

It is said that she has returned from school, who knows when she will return?

When he issued a recruitment order, if she didn't accept it, could he still cut her down?

Therefore, the emperor refused to agree, and at most allowed her to go out to visit medical offices in various places.

Zhou Man: ...Inspection, the main job is to check the situation of local medical offices, how much time can you spare to see a doctor, and find some flowers, plants, birds and animals?

The emperor was such a rogue that Zhou Man was so angry that he went home and walked around the yard three times. He couldn't help looking up to the sky and shouted, "I wish I could hang the seal and go—"

She shouted like that, who knew that the sound was too loud and spread on the street, so the emperor ordered the city gate to pay attention to screening, and Zhou Man was not allowed to leave the city, making her want to go to the racecourse to watch people play polo while the spring was blooming. .

In the end, she had to go to the palace to show her loyalty to the emperor, swearing and swearing that she would never leave without saying goodbye and leave with the seal, so that she could go out of the city.

After leaving the city, Zhou Man went to the horse farm in the eastern suburbs, and looked at the Wei River not far away, she almost burst into tears, "You have worked hard for 12 years for the water transportation of this river, and my medical office has also opened along the river. I just want to go around in a boat and take a look.”

Bai Shan was very calm, "What's the matter? You routinely give a letter of resignation every year, and focus on cultivating your subordinates. After three or five years, His Majesty will agree."

"real?"

"Really," Bai Shan said with a slight smile, "I will resign with you at that time."

This is something Zhou Man didn't expect, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Bai Xiang wants to resign?"

Bai Shan smiled lightly and said, "After being in this position for a long time, Your Majesty will definitely dislike me. When I resign with you, he will definitely be willing."

This prime minister is just like a dish. He always looks at him, just like eating a dish. He will not get tired of it for two years. After another four or five years, he will be bored to death. When he wants to change the prime minister, he will naturally The two agreed to resign with firm will.

Zhou Man looked at the sparkling Weishui in front of him, and became happy again, holding his hand and shaking it, "You promised me."

Bai Shan nodded: "I promised you, first of all, I will take you to sit on the rivers I drew one by one, and see that they are unobstructed and go where you want to go."

The advantage of the extravaganza is that you can write as long as you want in a chapter. The disadvantage is that you always have a bad word count.
