175. Participate in disaster relief
Liang Feng had already changed his clothes quickly and walked out of the front yard to welcome Qian Weiyan.
"Yan Gong is here, I don't know that I have lost my mistakes and atone for my sins!" Liang Feng hurriedly walked to Qian Weiyan and bowed and said.
He still called himself a boy in front of Qian Weiyan, and seemed very disgusted. Old Qian was very happy. After all, he had an old friendship, and he was different.
"Haha, Yutian is so polite. I'm just thinking about it and coming over. It's good if you don't blame me."
The two of them greeted the hall and laughed, and Lai Fu brought tea to serve him.
"I wonder what Yan Gong has to give me?" Liang Feng reached out and pushed Cha towards Lao Qian and asked with a smile.
Qian Weiyan took a sip of Liang's famous tea and said comfortably: "Haha, Yutian doesn't know that your green tea method is gradually spreading, and many people in the market imitate it, but the taste is far from you!"
"Yen Gong was joking. I wonder if the food I served last time had been finished? I'll send some to Yan Gong another day."
Qian Weiyan hurriedly said that he didn't need it, and he still had to drink it. After finishing his politeness, he sighed and said, "Today's court meeting, your father-in-law has submitted the fifth remarks in a row. It seems that his intentions are firm. The official family and the queen mother are probably going to report it. Unfortunately, once Zheng Gong left, the Shufu lost one more reliance!"
"So, isn't it because my family has their own difficulties? The boy, Taiyue, has indeed been in the Spring and Autumn Period. I am afraid he will not be able to work hard. He will retire and enjoy a blessing for two days. But isn't this position as the prime minister empty?"
A sentence scratched Qian Wei's itchy spot and nodded quickly and said, "It's exactly this reason. Once Zheng Lao left, there were no leaders in the Shufu. I wonder who would take charge of the overall situation." The words and eyes were full of enthusiasm.
Liang Feng held back his laughter and said solemnly: "Do you want to be a fan of the public?"
"Uh, what do you think Yutian thought?" Fortunately, it was an old friendship, and Lao Qian didn't blush much.
Liang Feng nodded without answering. However, he suddenly turned his head and asked, "I wonder if there is any news when Mr. Lu goes west?"
Qian Weiyan was waiting for him to express his opinion, but he was stunned when he heard this sentence. The news that had just happened in the morning was still a small-scale secret. Should he say it or not? Thinking about it, he said: "There has been an urgent report this morning, saying that it was an armour case, and several states were in conjunction with each other. Three or fourteen; in addition, (Old Qian mysteriously lowered his voice) Raozhou found a pit for the Cao family boys to cast private money, and there were hundreds of people." After saying that, he suddenly remembered and said: "Oh, and, it was amazing that Lu Zongdao found that the army had an empty salary in the army, which was amazing!"
Liang Feng said in surprise: "Ah! Is it so bad?"
"Oh, yes, the court raises soldiers every year, but he is so handsome, I really don't know what to do!"
"Does Yan Gong really belong to the position of the prime minister?" Liang Feng asked back.
Somehow, when he came to talk to Qian Weiyan, Liang Feng was so foggy, and he made Lao Qian dizzy. Fortunately, Qian Weiyan had become accustomed to Liang Feng's speaking style and could not keep up with this boy's thinking. He answered it casually. He said a little hesitantly: "Hehe, I just want to guess a rough idea. If I really can't, I can't."
"Yan Gong Mingjian. Is it not difficult to sit in this position of the supra, but after sitting, there are a few difficulties. I am afraid that Yan Gong must be prepared!"
This is what it was originally written in history books. As soon as Feng Zheng retired, Qian Weiyan became the Privy Councilor and was naturally a substitute. However, there are already variables.
"I hope to hear it carefully." Qian Weiyan went straight to the point. He no longer went around the corner, thinking that you should just tell me if you have any difficulties.
"First, it's unclear whether there are chains of interest in the ordnance case. For example, even if the dirty things are released from the military warehouse, how can no one notice it? Why is there no one who reports or complains? Isn't Yan Gong surprised? The Shufu's military service does not adjust the generals, and the kindness comes from the superiors. If a powerful man starts to quarrel, will Yan Gong be sure to settle it?"
Qian Weiyan nodded and pondered: "It's indeed a difficult point, let's talk about it second."
"Second, the private money pit has already happened, but will it be like an armed case? The private money flows into the camp, and the chaos will be very big. If the Yan Gong mutiny just as soon as he took office, even though the crime is not on the public, the wiping of his butt will probably be overwhelmed!"
Lao Qian looked ugly and nodded in a quiet voice.
"Third, and the most headache-inducing thing, the empty salary is a long history, not exclusive to our dynasty. It can be the most important thing for our dynasty. Why, Taizu made a national policy in the past and recruited soldiers to safeguard the world in a deserted year. Now the redundant soldiers are simply too many times compared to the beginning of the country. Since the matter has been penetrated into the palace, it will be in vain to hold them over. However, the Shufu must be in charge of the layoffs or checking for shortcomings. The people who offended are many times more than the previous two. Yan Gong, are you ready?"
Qian Weiyan was a man with endless brilliance, although he was obsessed with greed, he still understood how much he had. After listening to Liang Feng’s advice, his face was pale and sweaty on his forehead. After a while, he murmured: “In this way, isn’t this seat of the sirens roasted on the fire?”
"That's why the boy said that it's not difficult to sit on it, but it's a bit difficult to sit firmly."
"Then, let me ask Yutian's words, if you want to solve these three questions, will the plan come out?" Old Qian thought that he would not bother the second master, so he simply helped me solve this equation and calculate the ball.
"Hehe, it's simple to say, six words are enough!"
Qian Weiyan's eyes lit up: "Which six words? Please give me advice." He was so cold that the prime minister wanted to behave.
"Lengxin, iron-faced, harsh hands." Liang Feng Lengbingbing said six words, directly hitting Qian Weiyan and was about to collapse. In fact, he didn't lack these three things. He could do anything more than anyone else, but Lao Qian was just as scared as he was lacking. He was so brave! He wanted him to go to the Qiu Ba and the other side of the drum in front of him. He was really scared.
"Oh, it seems to be very difficult. I thought about it and talk about it before I think about it." Qian Weiyan murmured, not knowing whether it was talking to Liang Feng or chatting with him.
After saying that, Lao Qian was extremely discouraged and stood up and went home. Liang Feng kept him for dinner. How could the old man have the idea? It is just right to go home to pick up the beads of small abacus.
After sending Qian Weiyan away, Liang Feng returned to the backyard. Feng Chengcheng hurried over and asked, "What's the matter, what's going on?" He wanted to verify whether he came to the door for the sake of his grandfather's retirement.
"Haha, the old man heard that our grandfather was going to retire when he was old. He just wanted to move on to see if he could do it."
"Then he should go to the Empress Dowager, the official family, what's the idea of finding you a small official who is the size of sesame and green beans? Humph, boring!" Feng Chengcheng pretended to be disdainful, but in fact he was full of pride in his husband's high market conditions. The official family also asked for it, and the husband also asked for it.
Liang Feng was amused when he saw her quarrels. He didn't answer, but looked up at the sky and said to himself: "This rainy season is coming. As the Dragon Boat Festival water rises, I don't know how many people are suffering from disasters. Alas!"
It was indeed good. At midnight, the sky suddenly changed, and it was raining continuously. In the morning, it was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no intention of finishing it.
Liang Feng stood at the window and watched, worried. He had deliberately mentioned to Xue Kui some time ago for the case of Bianhe. Xue Kui said that he wanted to sort out the inland river. He hadn't been to the yamen for a long time, and he didn't know if the old man started working.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, there were four rivers running through Kaifeng City. They flowed from Chenzhou and Caizhou, and entered the city from Guangli Shuimen next to Dailou Gate southwest of the city. After turning a corner in the city, they flowed out from Chenzhou Gate. This is the Cai River.
The Bian River crosses from east to west from the city, which is divided into water from Luokou east of Luoyang, flows east into Kaifeng, flows west to Sizhou, and flows into Huaihe River. This waterway is the most important. It transports grain from southeastern prefectures and counties along this place, which is the lifeline of the canal transportation, and it is responsible for almost the whole country's grain transportation.
The northeast of the capital is the Wuzhang River. From Jeju and Yuncheng, the ships transporting Jingdong Road grain enter from this river. From the waterway north of Xincaomen enter the city.
The last river channel is basically the royal special name called Jinshui River. Enter the city from the northwest Shuimen, and high walls are built on both sides to protect it. The river water directly enters the Da Nei and then pours into the pond in the back garden of the imperial palace.
Originally, there were many bridges in Bianjing City, and there were countless bridges. The underground drainage was also very powerful. Because Kaifeng had been built by several emperors for five generations, Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of Song, led the people to go beyond his arms and work hard. The underground drainage system was extremely sound. The four rivers took care of each other, and any one of them had increased water. They could basically use other water channels to discharge them out of the city. Therefore, the small increase in water was difficult for Kaifeng City.
However, the situation gradually changed after the Zhenzong Dynasty. There were too many nobles and powerful people. Everyone was aiming at prime locations, either building houses, surrounding gardens, setting up villas, or setting shops or building docks to do business. Gradually, except for the Jinshui River, the other three rivers were squeezed into the river, causing the water surface to become narrower and narrower and increase day by day. The drainage and flood discharge capacity was greatly weakened. Since the early years of Tianxi, some small-scale low-lying floods have gradually occurred in the city, and all the common people have suffered.
Seven or eight years have passed, and the disaster area has become larger and larger, especially the Bian River and two Wuzhang Rivers. It will definitely occur in the rainy season, and the number of victims is also increasing year by year. Xue Kui took office as Kaifeng Prefecture and experienced a flood in the first year. After his on-site survey, it was all caused by the squeezing of rivers along the river. Therefore, this year he made up his mind to dredge the river channels, widen the water surface, let the boats return to their original state, and also allow the river water to be smooth and avoid disasters.
Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and hesitating, Liang Feng hesitated for a long time, and he was not the kind of lazy person who said nothing but said nothing. He thought that since he came to this world, he should not pretend to be a theorist who said nothing but said nothing and made a random guide. No matter how big or small, he should do something practical. Even if he can't help, what if he can't do it?
Thinking of this, he called Uncle Yong and asked him to bring a tart-cloth raincoat and put it on himself. Xiao Chang and Cheng Cheng hurriedly dissuaded: "Where are you going to go with such heavy rain? Wouldn't Ansheng stay at home?"
"Oh, the rain is so heavy. It takes a few more days. I don't know how many families in the city will suffer. I want to go out and have a look."
"Then it rains and disasters are the matter of the households. What's the point of being blind? " Cheng Cheng muttered. Xiao Chang understood that this husband was usually slutty and lazy, but he was not the kind of person who stood by and watched. He patted Cheng Cheng on the shoulder and smiled, "Let him go, otherwise he would be annoying to be anxious at home."
Liang Feng nodded to Xiao Chang with a smile, took Uncle Yong's hand over to put on his raincoat, and went out and called Li Da and left.
Liang Feng was wearing an oilcloth raincoat, and Li Da was wearing a straw raincoat. After only a dozen steps out of the door, his shoes were soaked. The two simply rolled up their pants and walked out to check.
Liang Feng's first stop was at Xingguo Temple. In front of Xingguo Temple was a small river. It was a semi-artificial small reservoir that Zhao Kuangyin chose to build back then. It could store some water. The same was true under the Junyi Bridge next to them. If the silt and garbage in these two rivers can be exhausted for years and the water storage capacity will increase, it can also be alleviated. There is no way, the illegal buildings have not been demolished, so I have to look at this place to treat the symptoms.
When he arrived at Xingguo Temple, Liang Feng was shocked and saw thousands of imperial guards, the Xiang army, the Kaifeng Prefecture officers and many people dredging the river in heavy rain. More than a dozen towboats came and went on, all of whom were pursuing the silt. Every dozen or two people were commanding loudly, and there was a chaotic situation around the river.
When Liang Feng saw this, he felt relieved. It seemed that it had been a day or two for fighting here, and he was still ready early. But seeing everyone working together, the noise was noisy and the heavy rain was soaked, no one could hide. After a break, he couldn't help but get warm. He walked into the crowd, rolled up his sleeves and participated in disaster prevention work.
Li Da hurriedly dissuaded him last issue. The young master had a serious illness and fever the day before yesterday. Today, he was better and he was in the rain again, so he was afraid of another attack. Liang Feng only smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay to do things in the rain, so you can come too." Seeing that Li Da couldn't persuade him, he had to open his arms and start working with him.
It was raining heavily, and Liang Feng bent down and surrounded the mud with his hands. When he saw baskets, dustpans and other objects, he pushed them into it. Someone used a rope to pull them to the pile. After a while, he saw people using shovels, shovels, palladium plows and other objects to open the river channel, divert water into it, and discharged the flood to the Bian River. He hurried over and saw a commoner who was extremely tired, so he took the shovel from him and kicked it up.
Fortunately, this guy insists on running and exercising around his yard every day. He does not delay exercise, has good physical strength, is young and full of energy, and has really put in a lot of effort.
Liang Feng was waving his shovel and working hard, and suddenly a burst of laughter came from behind him: "Hahaha, is Tanhualang also involved in the dredging of the river?" The rain was too loud and the voices were loud again. Liang Feng didn't hear it clearly for a while. He just felt that someone was shouting behind him, so he turned around and saw Xue Kui wearing a straw raincoat, and there were four or five people standing behind him, looking at him with a smile, including Liu Chuan and Zhang Ting.
Liang Feng hurriedly wiped the rain on his face, clasped his fists and said, "I don't know if sir, I'll forgive me for your sins!"
Xue Kui walked up two steps, and took his hand intimately, and smiled: "Yes, he is an official who does practical things, not much better than those nerds who just talk empty-handedly and don't know anything!" He spoke loudly, and the people behind him laughed.
