Chapter 432 Qishan Seeing and News
I'm afraid you won't do it yet.
Yuan Tiangang seemed to smell the strong smell of blood, with blood surging and human heads rolling.
"Criminal, you shouldn't want to use force to solve the problem, right? I'm timid, don't scare me. Dai Shaoqing and the Censor of the Military Affairs Office are both appointed by the court, and they were assigned by His Majesty to come to Qizhou."
"Where do you want to go? No matter how brave I am, Li Dejian, dare not fight against the people sent by His Majesty!" Li Hao admired Yuan Tiangang's imagination very much and said helplessly: "Is it that kind of fool with muscles in your eyes?"
"Isn't it?" Yuan Tiangang looked at Li Hao with confidence, obviously not thinking he was wrong.
Li Hao was stared at the hair and slapped the table and said, "What kind of eyes are you? Let me tell you, don't look down on others. If I use my brain, even Zhuge Liang will have to admire him, do you know."
I believe you, Yuan Tiangang shook his head in despair and continued to lower his head to eat melons. Whatever you want, anyway, the dog has changed to not eat shit. If you have a genital, you can use Dai Zhou and Wei Hongda to dig the river.
As Yuan Tiangang said before, Qizhou in mid-June can be called a gathering of heroes, the heads of Wang and Zheng families, Dai Zhou, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Wei Hongda, the Censorate of the Censorate, and the envoy sent by dozens of prefectures in Guanzhong.
A large group of people flocked into Qizhou Prefecture and Qishan County.
When Dai Zhou and Wei Hongda entered Qishan County, it was already sunset. The smoke from cooking was curling in the resettlement site under the city wall of the county town. The people who had finished working were smiling happily, carrying their own tools, jokingly walking through the resettlement site, and running towards their warm nests.
Wei Hongda ordered the imperial guards to slow down the speed of the carriage and look outside through the curtains.
The people's resettlement sites under the city wall have obviously been reasonably planned, and they look somewhat similar to Lifang in Chang'an. The horizontal or vertical pavements divide the resettlement sites into dozens of small resettlement sites.
In the southeast and northwest corners of each small resettlement site, you can see a very special thatched hut built. There are flags hanging on the thatched hut, either red or green, with the words "male and female" on it. From time to time, men and women will rush in and come out comfortably.
This should be a thatched house, right? Wei Hongda thought so, frowned.
Putting aside the previous prejudices, if we only look at Qishan County's management of the people, it can be said to be well-organized.
However, this is nothing. If the dignified Prince of Wei did not even have this ability, Wei Hongda would be surprised.
What's more, Li Jing wants to have an identity and status, and there are countless "capable people and strangers" under his command. His son has caused such a big trouble. If he doesn't send someone to help, there will be a ghost.
"Censor Wei, look over there." Feeling that his sleeve was pulled by Dai Zhou, who was walking with him, Wei Hongda turned his head and looked in the direction of his finger.
I saw a country woman who was a popular country woman, holding an empty bucket in her hand and fiddled with a short stick that was more than three feet high. Clear water immediately flowed out of the short stick and poured into the wooden bucket below.
What the hell? Is it a magic trick?
Wei Hongda almost glared out his eyes. Such a magical thing is not common in Chang'an City...
Well..., well, there isn't in Chang'an either.
"Stop, stop quickly." Wei Hongda, who found the 'New World', ignored his image and patted the carriage and stopped the carriage. Without saying a word, he jumped down the shaft and took big steps to the girl who was picking up the water.
Lan Erya's original task was to sift sand on the river beach, but in recent times, because the project was about to end, there was not much mud left on the river beach, so she completed the task early and went home to rest for an afternoon. She didn't get up until it was dark to prepare to boil water and cook, and welcome her parents and elder brother to return.
But unexpectedly, there was water here. A passing old Buxiu shouted and stopped the carriage, and rolled and crawled, rushed towards him.
Lan Erya was a little scared and wanted to run but didn't dare to run away. After all, there was only one wooden barrel at home. If it was lost, there would be no water supply in the house.
He hesitated and shy. Before she could figure it out, Wei Hongda had already taken the people to her. The old man panted and pointed at the pipe that was still emitting water and said, "Little girl, what is this."
That's it?
Lan Erya reacted for a while, and I thought I was going to grab the water.
Despite his dissatisfaction, Erya still explained politely: "Grandpa, this is called water pipe."
"Tape water pipe?" Wei Hongda murmured: "The pipe that comes out of the water by himself?"
"It's not tap water, it's making water." Seeing that Wei Hongda is old, Erya patiently said: "The prince said that this water is made, not from himself, so we must cherish it and not waste it. We must close the water gate when we don't need water."
Wei Hongda selectively ignored Li Hao's existence and continued to ask: "Create water? Can water be manufactured by making it still be made?"
Lan Erya felt that the old man in front of her was quite pitiful, and she didn't even know how to make water: "Grandpa, you are a foreigner and don't know about our county. In fact, when it comes to making water, we have to start with our prince..."
It took a while for the left and right to fill up the water in the bucket, and Lan Erya simply explained to Wei Hongda again.
From the beginning of the well dug to the later water pump, and later the establishment of resettlement sites for the people due to the project needs, one by one.
"Later, the prince felt that it was too troublesome for us to line up to collect water, so he connected the water outlet of the pump with a long pipe, buried it directly underground and connected it to the resettlement site, with a water outlet for every four squares. Now, just turn the switch above and you can easily get water at your doorstep."
Is it so advanced? Wei Hongda and Dai Zhou looked at each other, almost unable to believe their ears.
The imperial commander who came to protect the two even ran up and tried it in person. Sure enough, the water would come out if it twisted gently, and then the water would stop if it twisted backwards.
Such an exquisite design is not even in the palace, right? At least Wei Hongda has never seen it in the palace.
If the information was not accurate, no one would believe his eyes.
Putting aside this convenient and fast water making, the green fields in the distance do not look like water shortage.
In order to make himself more aware of Qishan County, Wei Hongda chose to follow the pavement and walk around the people's resettlement site to see what changes have occurred in Qishan County.
As we walked around, we went further and further. Before it was completely dark, the group came to an area guarded by the yamen runners. In the middle of the open space surrounded by four simple wooden stakes, there was a machine like a stone mill.
The blindfolded donkey was spinning in the circle, looking like it was pulling a mill. In fact, it can be seen through the transmission part exposed by the mechanically exposed outside. The real part is moving back and forth, not in the circle.
What a strange design, what are you doing? Dai Zhou pinched his chin and thought, while Wei Hongda walked over the wooden stake and towards the machine.
The yamen runners who were guarding here had seen them for a long time and were not going to pay attention to them.
However, Wei Hongda didn't know how to lift the water pump and wanted to get close to the water pump. This is absolutely not allowed. If the boss knows that he is going to be in trouble.
"Stop, who are you?"
"The Imperial Guard!" The Imperial Guard commander with a stubble face stopped in front of the yamen runners, threw out a sign, and pointed at Dai Zhou and the others and said, "This is Dai Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and that is the Censor of the Censorate. There is nothing you have to do here, so I'm waiting."
It is said that a high official position is a level of force to kill people. For the yamen runners, the imperial guards are more than a level of force. They are even more likely to be a level of force than a level of force.
The yamen runner trembled and returned the sign in his hand to the commander of the imperial guards. He didn't dare to put the fart on him, and squatted on the side as a turtle. Fortunately, Wei Hongda did not really get close to the water pump. He just came to a position where the donkey could not kick and stood still. He looked at it from a distance, and after a long time, he asked, "What's this?"
"Ask this adult, this is a water pump, responsible for supplying water to the surrounding 100 acres of fertile land and 5,000 people." The yamen runner said with his head protruding.
Wei Hongda was stunned and turned around and said, "Can this thing still provide water to the fields?"
The yamen runner replied, "That's a must. After all, the people cannot use water for twelve hours. If no one uses water, if the water is not discharged, the water pump here will be damaged."
Wei Hongda nodded and said casually: "It can irrigate and satisfy the people's water use. This is Li Dejian, who has done a human service."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, the yamen runner who was still cowardly stopped doing it, and he clasped his fists and said seriously: "I would like to ask the Censor Guard to be careful. Our prince will work hard for the people of Qishan, not afraid of pressure, and will not tolerate the slander of the Censor."
"Uh..." Wei Hongda was an official all his life. This was the first time someone pointed at his nose and preached, and he was also helping a guy who harmed the country and the people.
Seeing that the old guard was a little embarrassed, the commander of the imperial guard shouted: "Bold, you a little yamen runner dared to speak to the Censor of the Wei Dynasty in this way, so you are not afraid of punishing you for being disrespectful."
"If you punish me, you will be punished. The prince will save me." The yamen runner said with a stuttering on his neck: "Don't say he is just a censor, the background of the five surnames and Qi Wang is great, and my prince will still escort them to the river to clean up the dredging. The censor, hum."
"Okay, General Chang, don't scare him." Dai Zhou, who had not spoken, saw the imperial commander's eyes shining fiercely, and quickly interrupted: "This matter is indeed wrong with the Censor of the Military Affairs Office. Before the matter is concluded, Mr. Li would not allow anyone to insult him."
Li Hou naturally refers to Li Hao's title. The status of the founding county from the third rank is much higher than that of Wei Hongda from the fifth rank. If the yamen runners are held accountable for their great disrespect at this time, Lao Wei will probably be implicated.
Besides, judging by the fact that the yamen runners have the courage to confront the imperial guards, Li Hao's reputation in Qishan County cannot be underestimated. If he gets angry, he knows what will happen.
Wei Hongda also reacted at this time and waved his hand to the commander of the imperial guards and said, "General Chang, Dai Shaoqing is right. I did make a mistake just now. This guy blamed me." After saying that, he bowed to the proud and proud yamen runner: "I was disappointed just now, don't expect not to be surprised."
The yamen runners had been staring at General Chang for a long time. At this moment, they saw the old man who had just been blamed for him and quickly saluted again: "The old censor does not care about the offense of villains, villains, villains..."
"Okay, don't say anything more." Wei Hongda waved his hand to stop the yamen runners, and asked in a different way: "I just heard you say that someone from a noble family was sent to the river for dredging. Is this true?"
"Of course it's true." The yamen runner nodded heavily.
Wei Hongda continued to ask, "Do you know who is there?"
The yamen runner thought for a while: "Well..., who is not very clear about the specific one? I heard... I heard that there is someone named Li Jiao."
As soon as Li Jiao's name came out, Wei Hongda was immediately startled.
This is not a person. The third house of Li family in Zhao County, Li Jiao can be said to be the head of the Dongzu lineage. Unexpectedly, he was detained to dig a river in Qishan. If this was spread, it would probably cause an uproar.
This is no longer a matter of being brave. Wei Hongda even wondered whether Li Dejian was the only one courage left in his body!
It has to be said that since the person who was detained by Li Jiao in Zhao County was Li Jiao, the status of the other families would definitely not be lower than that of him. In other words, Li Dejian was probably not less than that of several aristocratic families after all offending him.
And it has to be said that before this, Wei Hongda did not know that someone from aristocratic families had come to Qishan County, and he was a big shot like Li Jiao.
For a moment, the old man was at a loss and was full of confusion about what he wanted to investigate.
He admitted that he had a bad temper and admitted that he was old-fashioned, but this did not mean that he was just a fool.
A small Qishan County gathered the prince of the country, the five surnames and seven hope families, and now the Dali Temple and the Censorate are joined. Even a fool can see clearly the matter in Qizhou.
"The Censor of the Wei Shi, let's go, go to the city to rest first, and how about going to find Hou Li tomorrow?" Dai Zhou leaned over at the right time and reminded in a low voice.
"No, I will go to find him tonight." Wei Hongda flatly rejected Dai Zhou's proposal and turned to the innocent yamen runner-up, saying, "Do you know where Mr. Li lives?"
The yamen runner replied: "It's right at the garrison outside the city. If you want to go, enter the city from here and pass by the city."
"Well, thank you." Wei Hongda said politely, turned around and headed towards the city gate. Behind him were General Chang and Dai Zhou, the commander of the imperial guards who were looking at each other.
Following Wei Hongda's footsteps, General Chang smiled bitterly and whispered: "Old Dai, why do I feel like I've fallen into a pit?"
"It's not that it's true." Dai Zhou squinted his eyes, tried to recognize the road surface and took a deep breath and said, "Qizhou is now the eye of a storm. If one of them was not done well, we would be trapped in it. Alas, if we had known this, we would have been sick in the hall that day and asked him to leave. Why should we come to this muddy water?"
