Chapter 344 God Killing [Married 7.4k big chapter celebration]

Ye Zongxing was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then turned his back, as if he didn't want to meet Jiang Xinghuo in this posture.

Scholars also need to have face. Ye Zongxing followed the team of civilians from Huating County here, of course, not for the dozens of wages per day and the delicious fat meat, but because he was afraid that Jiang Xinghuo and his party did not understand water conservancy and would give random directions and dig up weirs.

The lake caused disaster.

Ye Zongxing, a man of chivalrous spirit and bravery, naturally wanted to follow him to see if he could do his little bit to make amends in terms of water conservancy.

But now he looked at the breakwaters on both sides of the bank. They were built by Jiang Xinghuo who coordinated resources, Song Li drew the drawings, and Chief Sun was responsible for the command. They had both horizontal remote embankments, moon embankments, and vertical grid embankments.

After setting up a complete system, it is obvious that he is a little unfounded.

In addition, he had some social fears, so after his identity was revealed, he acted like an ostrich.

However, Jiang Xinghuo was quite impressed by Ye Zongxing. He pulled him up and said, "Later I heard from Magistrate Huang that you are a famous water conservancy talent in Songjiang Prefecture. However, I didn't say that it was not my fault that I handled everything that day.

good."

Seeing the Imperial Master treating the virtuous corporal so generously and sincerely, Ye Zongxing's dark face turned a little red, and he repeatedly cupped his hands and said, "I was just impatient. Thinking about it afterwards, I was really a little reckless."

Jiang Xinghuo did not dwell on the previous matter anymore, but instead asked: "What do you think is the problem with the current river embankment? I heard that you have traveled through dozens of tributaries of the Taihu Lake Basin, and you have quite a lot of experience in field inspections.

You might as well make suggestions.”

Ye Zongxing stood on the river embankment and thought for a moment. He was really thinking silently. It was obvious that the man spoke late and urgently. Jiang Xinghuo did not rush him. He, Song Li, Zheng He and others just waited for him to think.

After a long while, after going over all the water conservancy matters in his mind, Ye Zongxing finally said: "The adults in Dushui Qingli Department are all experienced river workers, and the craftsmen are also very skilled. The river embankments are well built.

Yes, there are definitely no big problems, but there are indeed some small ones."

"oh?"

Sun Kun, the head of the River Control Section of the Department of Water Purification and Civil Affairs of the Ministry of Industry, raised his eyebrows with some disdain.

In Sun Kun's opinion, this country scholar had read some books, walked some roads, and did know something about water conservancy, but after all, he had no experience in managing water conservancy projects and could only rely on words on paper. Couldn't he be Li Jinglong?

"Aqiu!"

At the foot of Mount Fuji, the pink and white cherry blossoms were blooming beautifully, and Li Jinglong sneezed hard.

"What's wrong, General?"

The former "King of Kyushu" Imakawa Ryojun dressed in samurai attire and carried a samurai sword accompanied Li Jinglong to enjoy the flowers.

Li Jinglong said deeply: "It's nothing, maybe the fragrance of the flowers is a bit pungent, or maybe it reminds me of an old friend."

"oh?"

The young and vigorous Imakawa Ryojun straightened his back and said in proficient Chinese:

"The old friend that the general can think of at this time is probably also a great figure in the Ming Dynasty."

"It's really amazing. This man has the talent to know the world, and his ability can be weighed in the world! In terms of wisdom alone, even I am slightly inferior."

Li Jinglong thought of his mentor who gave lectures in prison. Although there were some mistakes during his trip to Japan, in general, they were basically in line with Jiang Xinghuo's judgment.

In the past few months in Japan, Li Jinglong has basically understood the situation in this country, including the complicated relationships between Japan's domestic political factions and local vassals. The deposed 'King of Kyushu' beside him is an ambitious opposition figure.

Character. But if I come here next time, I think I will lead an army of 100,000 people and march across the sea to conquer the sun.

"Could it be a character like 'Wolong' in "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms"? Can he control the wind and rain?"

Hearing this, Imagawa Ryojun immediately became interested.

In his understanding of China, the wisest figure is undoubtedly Zhuge Kongming.

"Of course I will."

Li Jinglong smiled and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve that he had read many times recently. It was a letter sent to him by Cao Guogong's family. It mentioned in it that Jiang Xinghuo had been released from prison, although there had not been a formal ceremony yet.

Emperor Yongle worshiped him as the national master, but he had already broken Jingqing's blood oath by praying for rain, which greatly reversed the negative public opinion. At the same time, he also briefly mentioned

I mentioned Jiang Xinghuo's innovation in Neo-Confucianism. Currently, quite a few scholars in Nanjing have spontaneously respected Jiang Xinghuo as their teacher and studied this theory of studying things to achieve knowledge. This has caused conflicts with scholars who adhere to the traditional Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.

In short, with the small victory at the ideological level, the number of supporters of the reform is rapidly increasing.

"This national master named Jiang Xinghuo not only has the ability to control wind and rain, but he is also a master of Sinology?"

After reading the letter, Imagawa Ryojun said with some leisurely charm: "I wish I could meet the peerless style of this Imperial Master in person."

"There is a chance."

Li Jinglong hugged the geisha in pink kimono who followed him with small steps and said with a smile: "I will return to China next month. When the North and South Korea were in confrontation, Imagawa-kun was responsible for Japan's diplomacy towards North Korea, Ryukyu and the Ming Dynasty all year round.

Now, why don’t you go back to the Ming Dynasty with our envoy to see things with your own eyes? By the way, you can also meet with me, the Great Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.”

Of course Imagawa Ryotoshi wanted to meet King Zhu Di of Yan, who was known as the "Peerless Military God" in Japan, and besides that, he had even greater ambitions.

Imagawa Ryojun was quite moved. After shooing away the geishas and samurai on both sides, he asked in a low voice: "What about the general's promise to me?"

Li Jinglong firmly held the other party's hand that was covered with calluses and stab wounds, and said sincerely: "Da Ming will not treat every friend badly!"

Imakawa Ryojun breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"I will report to the owner of the Luyuan Courtyard. He is old and is much less wary of me than in the past. He may be able to agree. In addition, Prince Yasuko may also go with him."

When Li Jinglong heard this, a glint flashed in his eyes. He had already heard about Annan. Just like Annan's grandson Chen Tianping, if Ming Dynasty held a de jure heir to the Japanese Emperor's throne, this would be the best way to start a war.

Excuse.

"Then what is the Imperial Master doing now?" Imagawa Ryotoshi suddenly asked.

——————

The Imperial Master is having a headache.

In the verbal exchange with Ye Zongxing just now, Sun Kun was quickly defeated. The reason was very simple, nothing more than four words: adapt measures to local conditions.

The River Control Section of the Metropolitan Water Resources and Cleansing Department of the Ministry of Industry certainly has experience in how to build embankments and how to control the direction of flood discharge.

However, most of this experience is the kind that is universally applicable. It is a set of relatively common methods summed up by officials from the Ministry of Industry of all generations.

But just as there are no two identical leaves in the world, different water and soil conditions also mean that the construction of water conservancy projects in different regions must be different.

Ye Zongxing's advantage is that he not only understands water conservancy, but also has a deep understanding of various rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, and even the hydrology and soil conditions of a specific bend.

Therefore, in view of the soft soil in the south of the Yangtze River and the accumulation of silt and hidden pits at the bottom of the river, Ye Zongxing put forward several suggestions for improving the construction of river embankments, and they were quite pertinent.

It wasn't like there weren't people who knew about water conservancy at the scene. Song Shilang was watching from the side. Naturally, Sun Kun didn't dare to hold his neck and say that what others said was wrong, so he could only record Ye Zongxing's opinion.

"But there is only one thing. After thinking about it, I always feel that I have trouble sleeping and eating."

Ye Zongxing was silent for a moment and elaborated: "I always feel that using gunpowder to blow up a barrier lake is the first time in the history of water conservancy. How to control the direction of the collapse and the amount of gunpowder? The structure of the barrier lake is so complex and fragile.

If you are not careful, even if there are dams on both sides of the bank, the height of the dams on both sides is limited after all. If the flood volume is too large and the dams are directly destroyed, it will be an unbearable thing. Even the national division may not be able to bear such a responsibility.

Bar?"

"Presumptuous!" Huang Ziwei couldn't help but scolded half in feigned anger and half in a protective manner.

"Let him speak." Jiang Xinghuo stopped Magistrate Huang.

Ye Zongxing said sincerely: "When I first heard about the gunpowder explosion in the lake, I was really excited. But these past few days, I'm really scared. I even dreamed that the people in the city were washed away by the flood. The Imperial Master thought

It’s true to save the people who were kidnapped by the White Lotus Sect rebels, but this also cost more than 100,000 lives!”

"I know what you mean."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the dark and thin scholar and said, "You just think that it is not safe to explode the embankment of a barrier lake with gunpowder. Even the people in the county are not necessarily safe."

"Yes!" Ye Zongxing nodded vigorously.

Following Ye Zongxing's nod, even the surrounding officials and craftsmen from the Ministry of Works unconsciously looked here.

——They are also waiting for an answer.

It’s not that no one doubted the feasibility of the Imperial Preceptor’s move in their hearts. It’s just that after the Imperial Preceptor prayed for rain, his prestige increased, and a lot of people were killed in Changzhou Prefecture, so everyone just followed suit for a few days.

In fact, the most common horizontal and vertical grid methods are used, that is, remote embankments (long embankments), moon embankments (half-moon-shaped embankments), and grid embankments (vertical short embankments) to complete the long embankments on both sides from Dahuangpu to Shanghai Pu.

There are some missing areas.

But it is still unknown whether filling these leaks can stop the flood after the barrier lake explodes, how powerful the impact of the flood will be, and whether the direction of the flood discharge can be controlled.

In other words, in the entire large engineering team, except for the National Engineer who is very confident, everyone else is uneasy.

After all, lake digging in the past was basically done by hand. Even if someone used gunpowder to help, no one had used gunpowder on this scale.

This is the gunpowder inventory of half the capital of the Ming Empire!

Even though the use and reserves of gunpowder in the early Ming Dynasty were not as good as those in the late Ming Dynasty, just thinking about Jiang Xinghuo's previous life of the Apocalypse explosion in the late Ming Dynasty, which almost razed the capital to the ground, you can know the horrifying power of this thing when detonated!

No one has really used this amount of gunpowder, let alone used it to blow up a barrier lake.

Therefore, Ye Zongxing's questions are actually questions of all his own "own people".

At this time, even Sun Kun looked at Jiang Xinghuo.
