After the banquet was held, Shen Shixing and Pan Jixun pushed each other.

Shen Shixing sat in the main seat, Pan Jixun sat on the first chair in the left head, and Lin Yanchao and the others sat in the lower prime minister.

Then Shen Shixing waved his hand, and all the maids and servants served were saluted and then retreated, leaving, with only six people remaining in the back hall.

As for Lin Yanchao sitting down, he didn't dare to confirm it, but leaned forward and got up at any time. Then Lin Yanchao took a look at the dishes on the table, which were all authentic Wuxi dishes.

The dishes are not necessarily luxurious. They are mostly home-cooked dishes and there are no more than ten dishes. It looks like a casual dinner, but Wuxi dishes are good at making fresh water, and several of them are not produced in this season. It must have taken a lot of effort to cook this table of dishes in the kitchen of Shen Shixing.

As for the dishes, Lin Yanchao knew how good the chefs in Wuxi were in Shenshi’s house were, but Lin Yanchao didn’t taste it every time. In such an occasion where big guys were present, they usually couldn’t taste it. The focus of the banquet was not on eating and drinking.

Not only Lin Yanchao, but also the other three juniors below him, who are usually cautious in their words and actions.

As for Shen Shixing, Pan Jixun picked up the chopsticks and picked up the food, several people started to turn on the chopsticks. Shen Shixing was the prime minister and his daily diet was fine, so he was slow and Lin Yanchao and others were even more restrained.

The only one on the table is Pan Jixun, who is not particular about the details and truly lets eat and drink.

Pan Ji was very generous in drinking, and drank three glasses in a row. Lin Yanchao sat beside him, and was very attentive to add wine and hand him a towel.

Seeing that Lin Yanchao was low and low, Pan Jixun seemed to be natural, and said on the other hand: "There is a recent article on the ills of grain, but was it written by the Zhuangyuan?"

Lin Yanchao was delighted when he heard this. Pan Jixun was both responsible for rivers and cavities, managing both rivers and cavities, and managing rivers and cavities. He said that no one dared to be the second in terms of research on rivers and cavities.

Lin Yanchao was feeling that some elementary school students gave their homework to the teacher at this moment, and said respectfully: "It is a simple work, so please correct the shortcomings of the work."

Pan Jixun did not answer immediately after hearing this, but picked up a chopstick and chewed the fish meat, and said, "The top scholar is very talented, almost like Su Zizhan's rebirth. But, the article is written, so it's okay to give it to some scholars. If you show it to the Fang family, it may be laughable."

Lin Yanchao was puzzled by his words, "You sister, I'm sorry, I'm treating you as an idol, you're slapped me in the face." What does Pan Jixun mean? The science monk looked down on me. He said that I wrote very well, had a brilliant literary talent, and could inspire (spoof) people, but in the eyes of an expert like him, it's not worth mentioning.

Lin Yanchao's face was dark after hearing Pan Jixun's words. After changing to someone else, Lin Yanchao squirted back on the spot, but the other party was a second-rank official, not to mention that Shen Shixing asked him to accompany the guest, so he could not help Shen Shixing's face.

However, Lin Yanchao couldn't swallow his breath and was about to shake his face and brush his sleeves off the table. Shen Shixing patted Pan Jixun's shoulder and smiled and said, "Shiliang, Shiliang, you are still like this. You don't show mercy to others. I don't know how you become a second-rank official."

Pan Jixun laughed when he heard this.

Shen Shixing said to Lin Yanchao: "Pan Jiantai is the Fang family who governs the river. If you say that your article has shortcomings, then there are really some. You need to adopt it humbly to make up for the shortcomings. If you can ask Pan Jiantai for advice in the future."

After being interrupted by Shen Shixing, Lin Yanchao's anger also subsided. After calming down, he thought about it. Lin Yanchao thought to himself, he was just a boat ride and wrote a theory of the ills of the grains from what he saw and heard on the way. When he wrote the article, he was inevitably flawed by literati. In addition to being seven-point realistic, he was exaggerated.

What's more, in seven-point realistic, the depth and breadth of knowledge are naturally not as good as the river governor Pan Jixun, who has been managing the river for more than ten years. He is the real expert.

Besides, when the other party met him for the first time, there was no need to criticize him specifically. Based on his knowledge of managing rivers and grains, he said that there were shortcomings in his articles, which was indeed true.

Lin Yanchao has been in the officialdom for some time. He was born in Hanlin and walked in the cabinet. Many people flatter him on weekdays. He is used to saying "Flowers in a sedan chair" among his colleagues. Even if he has something wrong with doing, others will not point it out because of their affection.

Now that someone is criticized, his mentality will collapse, which seems to be a little slim. Shen Shixing reminded him correctly, finding the reason for himself is the king.

Lin Yanchao thought about it and realized that he was not enough. He thought that he had just left the table and turned his face and left the table. He couldn't help but sigh that he was still too young. Lin Yanchao immediately knew his mistake and corrected it and said, "What the platform said is that the subordinates would make a good article every day, and then come to the door to ask the platform for advice."

Seeing that Lin Yanchao was still covered in dark clouds just now, Pan Jixun calmed down after Shen Shixing's words, and nodded, thinking that this person could pass the third level, which was really outstanding.

Pan Jixun said lightly: "The top scholar Lang Yan is serious, let's talk about it if you have time in the future!"

Shen Shixing saw him, smiled, nodded to Lin Yanchao, and signaled that he was right.

At the table below, Pan Jixun continued to chat, and after all, he would still be talking about his own affairs in governing the river.

Since Dayu controlled the flood, the government of the river has always been the top priority of the Chinese dynasty.

Since ancient times, the Yellow River is peaceful and the world is peaceful.

The river government of the Yuan Dynasty was a mess, and the orders were often changed every day, officials abused civil servants, and finally the Red Turban Army uprising that "don't tell the stone man's eyes to provoke the Yellow River's rebellion."

Then, the Ming Dynasty, which was destroyed by the rebellion, was unable to love the Yellow River at all.

The river disaster has been once every thirty years since ancient times, but in the Ming Dynasty it became once or twice a year. In the Ming Dynasty, the Yellow River broke more than 300 times. The reason why river disasters are frequent is related to the grain transportation. Although the Yuan Dynasty also established its capital in Beijing, the grain transportation in the Yuan Dynasty was mainly carried by sea transportation.

But what about the Ming Dynasty? The emperor guarded the country's gates and could only rely on the southeast taxes to support Youyan's powerful soldiers.

So the Yellow River goes from west to east, and the canal runs through north and south, and the Yellow River canals intertwined. Well, the problem is here.

You should know that it is common to break the Yellow River and divert the route. Looking at the historical records of diverting the routes in the lower reaches of the Yellow River in the Ming Dynasty, it is like dozens of fan bones spreading out of a fan. In this way, whenever the Yellow River breaks, the canal transportation will be cut off.

Therefore, the court concluded that Huang Baocao must be managed.

But when Pan Jixun and Shen Shixing began to 'boast' his achievements in governing Huang: "In the fifth year of Longqing, the Yellow River was decisive, and more than a thousand troops were killed. I don't know how many damages the grain ships were damaged. The court was shocked. Later, Zhang Jiangling said that he wanted to open the river. I said that he would abandon the old river and open the new river. He should block the gap in the old river, restore the old road of the Yellow River, and lead the Huai River into the river. This is the right way. As a result, Zhang Jiangling not only refused to listen, but instead blamed me for the castle ships overturned. He used this as an excuse to impeach me and cause me to dismiss the office. The court ordered me to live in vain. I thought about you, Zhang Jiangling, a gentleman, but the gentleman was different. As the chief minister, you are so narrow-minded."

Listening to Pan Jixun accusing Zhang Juzheng and saying bad things about him, Lin Yanchao felt very happy and almost applauded Pan Jixun. However, Pan Jixun dared to contradict Zhang Juzheng, and was ordered to dismissal by him.

"So I lived at home for a few years. In the winter of the fifth year of Wanli, I returned to my hometown in Wucheng. As a result, Zhang Jiangling wrote to me, guess how he told me in the letter, haha, he said that Zhang Jiangling knew that he was wrong, and that the matter of governing the river was necessary. In the letter, he said that he was a matter of the river, and he was despised and knew that the public was in vain. He always commented on the lost and lost wise men in the sea with the Taizai Gong, and he always regarded the public as the leader. Zhang Jiangling asked me to come out of the mountain with a humble poem. I thought there would be no way to get him out of the mountain, and I would go there immediately after summoning him. I simply ignored him and said he could not get sick at home. Zhang Jiangling wrote several letters in a row. Seeing that his words were sincere, I thought that everyone was just for the country and the country, so he agreed to go out. But if he asked him to agree to me to handle the river and the caving, I would carry the load, and Zhang Jiangling agreed."

Lin Yanchao thought to himself that Zhang Juzheng knew his mistake and could correct it. However, Pan Jixun was full of mockery of Zhang Juzheng, and he was still unhappy about the fact that Zhang Juzheng was dismissed from office. He took the opportunity to slander him in front of others.

At this time, Shen Shixing said, "Shi Liang, as the Right Censor, the Minister of Works, and the Minister of the Ministry of Works, we were appointed as the Grand Secretary of the Dongge. At that time, I remember clearly that the people in the court still had a lot of remarks about Brother Shi Liang's appointment as the governor of the river. However, Shi Liang still insisted on his own opinion, and put six opinions on the article to build the Gaojiayan Dam. If you had not insisted this way, you would not have achieved such achievements in governing the river."

Pan Jixun drank a glass of wine and said proudly: "Yes, I only used one year to build a dike in the earth, which was 102,268 feet per foot per inch. It was built across the stone dike, which was 3,374 feet per foot per inch. It was blocked across the big and small breaks, and a total of 139 places were 1.8 thousand men used, and it cost 560,000 taels of silver. The Ministry of Revenue originally gave 800,000 taels of ICBC, and I saved a total of 240,000 ICBC. After the river was built, the sand was deep, and the scholars and officials said that they had been missing for twenty years. What did Zhang Jiangling say after the inspection of the river, he told me that this century-old plan was all due to Gongying's decision, and Gong's contribution was not with Yu. Haha, he compared me to Dayu, and he was happy and happy!"

Speaking of Zhang Juzheng bowing to him, Pan Jixun was even more interested and drank nine cups in a row, and he was even more energetic.

Lin Yanchao was at the banquet. Although Pan Jixun was bragging about himself from beginning to end, this was indeed his political achievement, without a trace of function words. It was also because Pan Jixun made such a great contribution that even a person like Zhang Juzheng had to ask Pan Jixun to come out of the mountain, and he had to flatter him when he wanted to work. How might he be so majestic?

After Pan Jixun built the Yellow River River as an iron barrel, the court asked Pan Jixun to enter Beijing to repair the river. After listening to Pan Jixun's report, both the young emperor and Zhang Juzheng were very satisfied. Then, with Pan Jixun's achievements in governing the river, he was promoted from the Minister of Works to the Minister of Works and was ranked second-rank senior.

At this moment, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but admire Pan Jixun.

Shen Shixing said on the side, "It's not Shi Liang, Yuan Weng has been kind to you after all."

Pan Jixun smiled and said, "When it comes to river politics, no one in the world is my right hand. If Zhang Jiangling doesn't ask me to manage the river, who else can I invite? He wants me to be grateful for his kindness of knowing each other? Dreaming! Haha!"

Everyone on the table laughed.

After saying that, Pan Jixun continued to drink, and everyone took turns to toasting him. Pan Jixun was drunk all the time.

Seeing that Pan Jixun was so drunk, Shen Shixing immediately said, "Yanchao, you can send me the platform to make."

Lin Yanchao said that he was the one who sent Pan Jixun to the Guan sedan with Xu Taishi, Dong Sicheng and Zhu Guozuo together.

After sending the trip, several people returned to the back hall to report to Shen Shixing.

But when Shen Shixing sat high on the couch with his feet on his feet, he saw several people entering and drinking tea and asked, "Has Pan Zhitai been sent away?"

Several people said it was together.

Shen Shixing suddenly asked Lin Yanchao: "Yanchao, what do you think of Pan Taifa?"

Shen Shixing asked this question, Dong Sicheng, Xu Taishi, and Zhu Guozuo all looked at it. Just now, Pan Jixun swept Lin Yanchao's face, and they wanted to see how Lin Yanchao answered?

Lin Yanchao thought for a while and said, "It's a madman."

Dong Sicheng and Xu Taishi, Zhu Guozuo smiled slightly and said to himself that Lin Yanchao is quite revenge. Pan Jixun said something to him and kept it in his heart.

Shen Shixing smiled slightly and asked, "Yanchao, what is a madman?"

Lin Yanchao also said: "The sage has a saying that if he cannot do it, he will definitely be crazy. Zhu Zi said that the crazy one has a high ambition but does not hide his actions. From the perspective of students, Pan Jiantai is called a madman."

After hearing Lin Yanchao's explanation, the three of them all showed a sudden look.

Xu Taishi said: "Zonghai said, "The Central Government is even more virtue. How many people in the world can be like our mentors? Therefore, I retreated and asked for it. A crazy man like Pan Jiantai can also be a gentleman."

Xu Taishi's words were obviously flattering in public, but the slap was also very good. Several people said together: "Brother Xu said very well."

Shen Shixing smiled slightly and said, "Is it a crazy man to be a man? Pan Jiantai was the Censor of the River and handled so much money and food when he was the Censor of the River. When he was idle, he still had to borrow money to go home. After this, the chief minister asked him to come out of the mountain, and the court gave him 800,000 taels for the river management work. Pan Jiantai did not take a single document, but he still had a surplus of 240,000 taels. Which minister can be honest and honest?"

"Today I will let you see Pan Jiantai. I don't expect that even if you cannot achieve a hundred generations of achievements like Mr. Pan in the future, you still need to learn from him a way of being a minister."

After hearing this, the few people showed their expressions of being taught: "Remember the words of their mentors in mind."

Shen Shixing nodded and said, "Okay, Yanchao, stay, you guys will retreat first."

Xu Taishi and the other three said it was a shout and bowed and said he was leaving.

Only Lin Yanchao and Shen Shixing were left in the hall.

Shen Shixing signaled Lin Yanchao to sit on the ring chair, but Lin Yanchao did not sit and just bowed there.

Shen Shixing asked with a smile: "Why don't Yanchao sit?"

Lin Yanchao said: "My teacher, I lost my composure at the table today, and it almost made you difficult to do it. I feel very guilty in my heart."

Shen Shixing laughed and said, "You have just entered the officialdom and your joy, anger, and your face are natural. Don't take it to heart. After being an official for a long time, you will know that you will naturally become so sophisticated. Sit down!"

After hearing this, Lin Yanchao felt relieved: "Thank you, my teacher."

So he sat down.

Shen Shixing asked, "I heard from Shen Wu that you have something important to look for me today?"
