To be honest, Pan Jixun does mean that Lin Yanchao would express this water test method.[(〔＜

This is related to the lives of the people on both sides of the Yellow River. If we can have early warnings, we don’t know how many people can live. But if Pan Jixun uses this method to become an official and accredited title, it would be wrong.

Pan Jixun was not from a Hanlin family and could not enter the cabinet. He was appointed as a minister of the court and a second-rank official.

But seeing that Lin Yanchao had no intention of hiding it at all, and seeing through his little thoughts, Pan Jixun couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Pan Jixun said: "Lin Zhongyun, if there is really such a solution, I will definitely not lose money to you. I will definitely be the emperor to protect you."

Pan Jixun wanted to give it a try, Lin Yanchao meant, to see what he was risking to confront Zhang Juzheng, for what was his purpose? Is he looking for happiness or is he really dedicated to the public?

These words were also Pan Jixun’s test of Lin Yanchao’s intentions.

But when Lin Yanchao saw Lin Yanchao said, "Forget it, Yuan Fu has a bad impression of me at the moment. If I suggest it, I will not agree. I might as well tell the platform this method to benefit the people and benefit the world with a penny. What's the point? But the platform will be promoted to the title in the future by this, don't forget to take care of the subordinates."

Seeing Lin Yanchao say this, Pan Jixun almost vomited blood. What kind of trick is this? This is really unreasonable.

Pan Jixun said angrily: "I am already a great minister, so why should I talk about getting promoted? Less gossip, how much can your method be measured?"

Lin Yanchao said word by word: "Nine out of ten!"

What?

Pan Jixun showed an incredible look. Lin Yanchao found that the Yellow River was clear and turbid, and only seven out of ten severe droughts were measured.

He thought that it would be great if Lin Yanchao's method could go further, but he didn't expect that his method would be 90%. Isn't this fooling people? If he could really test nine out of ten, then the court would be very sure and warn of the disaster in advance, then this would definitely be a matter of benefiting the people.

Pan Jixun was a little disbelief, so he asked, "Lin Zhongyun, let's talk about it for now."

Lin Yanchao knew his thoughts when he heard the strings. Seeing that Pan Jixun doubted himself again, he smiled and said, "Pan Jiantai still remembers that I said that the water is heavy and the year is good, the rain is heavy and the food is abundant, the water is light and the fire dragon flies, and there are red grass thousands of miles away?"

Pan Jixun's eyes lit up and said to Lin Yanchao: "Are you saying that the lightness and weight of water is dating?"

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "That is, we can take a bag of Yellow River water on the Yellow River every year and month, and compare it with the previous year's water light water and heavy water. Compared with this month, we can see that the rainfall in each province of the Yellow River is abundant, which is called water to determine the celestial phenomena."

After hearing Lin Yanchao's words, Pan Jixun paced left and right, as if considering the feasibility of Lin Yanchao's words.

Lin Yanchao was very sure that this method was not fabricated by him, but verified by history.

Since the Shunzhi year of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court set up flood troops along the Yellow River and adopted the method of taking water from the Yellow River to weigh water. If there was no drought or flood last year, the water of the Yellow River this year suddenly became much lighter than last year, then the chance of drought this year is very high.

If it is heavier than last year, then we should pay more attention to flood control along the river this year. The Qing Dynasty used this method to predict the year, and the results were extremely high, and the accuracy according to records was almost nine out of ten.

Lin Yanchao is just to carry other people's wisdom.

Pan Jixun thought about this matter carefully and couldn't help but stroking his hands excitedly and said, "This is a truly wonderful method, and the top scholar, Pan was really convinced. This official immediately submitted a report to the court and immediately implemented this method."

"Thank you, thank you for the platform, so Lin can leave Beijing with confidence."

Seeing Lin Yanchao so calm, Pan Jixun couldn't help but sigh and said with emotion: "Lin Zhongyun, you don't know how many people you can save this plan. I have thanked you for the millions of people along the Yellow River. I will accept my greetings."

After saying that, Pan Jixun bowed to Lin Yanchao very much.

Seeing that Pan Jixun, a second-rank official, bowed to him, Lin Yanchao hurriedly helped him up and said, "Making a platform, building a river and dam is the merit of living hundreds of thousands of people. I, Lin Yanchao, just a little work, how dare I make a contribution."

Pan Jixun raised his head and said, "Zonghai, a true minister of the country, don't worry. This time, no matter who loses and who wins and wins with Zhang Jiangling, Pan will leave you a place. The prefect along the river may not be able to do it, but the magistrate can always recommend one for you, so you can rest assured!"

Lin Yanchao thought to himself, OK, Pan Jixun clearly wants me to work for you, but he says it as if he takes me in and is foolish to me. But no matter how you say it, it can be considered a place to do things. As a Hanlin magistrate, you should just give in. I am not someone who can't stand the grievance.

Lin Yanchao said: "Okay, even the magistrate will succeed. As long as you can achieve success and your official position, I don't care. It's better than staying at home and employed. In short, just don't let Lin lose this kind of promising body."

After hearing Lin Yanchao's words, Pan Jixun refreshed his three views again. Many officials in the officialdom were frustrated, and they looked like they were unwilling to do so. They would rather resign and retire to the countryside, and would rather wander in the forest than bend down to do anything.

But Lin Yanchao had the attitude of just having something to do. Although he lacked the indifferent demeanor of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, he had a clear mind and a more temper towards Pan Jixun.

This son is our generation.

If he said that he praised Lin Yanchao before, half true and half false, he would be a little impressed at this moment. But if he really admired him, he would not usually say it.

So after Pan Jixun sent Lin Yanchao onto the boat, he said nothing and ordered his subordinates: "Send me to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

After Pan Jixun gave the order, he sat down at Dajiao to Zhang Juzheng's mansion. As Pan Jixun's identity, he was of course relaxed to see Zhang Juzheng.

When Pan Jixun arrived in the mansion, Zhang Juzheng was drinking medicine soup. He heard that Pan Jixun wanted to see him. Zhang Juzheng immediately finished the medicine soup, then ordered the maid to change clothes, then put in incense on his robe to cover up the medicine energy on his body, and finally took incense tea to drink it to cover the smell of medicine in his mouth.

When Zhang Juzheng changed his clothes, his servant gave him a note.

After seeing this, Zhang Juzheng frowned and threw the stick back. When he came to the living room, he saw Pan Jixun sitting on a chair and said lightly: "Shi Liang, I heard that you have left the city today. Where have you been?"

Pan Jixun knew that he was going to send Lin Yanchao, but he decided not to hide it from Zhang Juzheng. He immediately mocked: "The Prime Minister is so good. I went to Tongzhou and sent Lin Zhongyun, who was granted the Prime Minister's favor, and then came back."

"Oh?" Zhang Juzheng's face sank and snorted.

Pan Jixun said bluntly: "You can hold a boat in your stomach. Are you embarrassed to be a scheming junior?"

Among all the civil and military officials in the court, there were probably only Pan Jixun and 6 Guangzu, who dared to speak like this to Zhang Juzheng.

Pan Jixun said this because he was so kind of. He always had a temper. Otherwise, he would not have been dismissed from office because of his opinion on river management. However, Zhang Juxun wanted to use him to control rivers, so he endured Pan Jixun and became accustomed to it after a long time.

As for the 6 Guangzu, he was the same year as Zhang Juzheng, and his friendship was extraordinary. However, after saying a few more words to this, Zhang Juzheng was driven home by Zhang Juzheng.

"This person is not an ordinary junior. What did you give him? Did you deliberately wipe out my face?" Zhang Juzhengdao.

Pan Jixun said: "Of course not, but I don't know anything about it. I asked Lin Yanchao how to measure the celestial phenomena by using the clear and turbid water of the Yellow River, and even dared to use his official position as a guarantee."

"Oh? Lin Zhongyun dares to protect his official position. Didn't he dreamed of being granted divinely?"

Pan Jixun smiled, and Zhang Juzheng's mouth was also full of damage.

Pan Jixun said: "No, the prime minister asked me to investigate this matter. I checked the water conditions of the Yellow River over the years and found that the water in the Yellow River is clear and there is indeed severe drought."

Zhang Juzheng's expression changed slightly. Lin Yanchao was going to slap himself in the face, and you came over to help slap yourself. Seeing that Zhang Juzheng was unhappy, most officials in the officialdom would not continue to talk about it after observing his expression.

But Pan Jixun still kept telling you whether Zhang Juzheng likes to listen or not, and also truthfully explained the method of Lin Yanchao's judgment of the year by judging water by being light and heavy.

Although Zhang Juzheng was unhappy, he would not mix his personal love and hate into his own judgment.

In his position, he has already developed a lot of skills and does not have to handle things personally. He can often judge how to judge things by following the following reports.

Whether the officials below are exaggerated or not, and how many things are true or not, Zhang Juzheng can know a rough idea, so after the officials have been working under him for a long time, they also know that they must not use folk remedies in front of the old Chinese doctors, and report anything truthfully. If Zhang Juzheng catches the wrong thing, the consequences will be unimaginable.

After hearing what Pan Jixun said, Zhang Juzheng took out his questions and asked Pan Jixun a few questions. Finally, Zhang Juzheng confirmed that Lin Yanchao's method of water to determine the celestial phenomena was really feasible. If this method is really feasible, the court will be able to prepare in advance in the severe drought in the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River.

But now Zhang Juzheng has fallen into a long silence.

Seeing Zhang Juzheng like this, Pan Jixun deliberately said, "What should I do? I think Lin Yanchao's method is really taught by the gods in my dreams. Do you use it, Prime Minister?"

"This is a good method, of course it must be used." Zhang Juzheng said without hesitation.

Pan Jixun was overjoyed, but Zhang Juzheng immediately said, "But this is your solution, don't worry, I will ask the emperor for me for you and promulgate this law immediately. In this way, the people will be blessed and the country will be blessed."

Pan Jixun waved his hand quickly and said, "How can I steal the merits of a junior? No, no. I think no matter whether there is a drought this year, you can't cure Lin Zonghai's crimes. Instead, you have to be promoted to his official position."

Zhang Juzheng nodded and said, "What he said makes sense."

Pan Jixun came here today for this purpose, and said with a smile: "The prime minister is wise."

Zhang Juzheng said: "Shi Liang, you thanked too early. If there is a drought this year, I will not only not guarantee Lin Zonghai's report, but also ask the emperor to remove him from office. If there is no drought, I can recommend Lin Yanchao to the emperor and ask him to be promoted."

Pan Jixun asked in surprise: "You, are you so confused about being an official?"

Zhang Juzheng sneered twice and said, "Shi Liang, can you know why Tian Feng was killed?"

Tian Feng was a counselor of Yuan Shao during the Three Kingdoms period. Tian Feng suggested that Yuan Shao not send troops to Guandu. Yuan Shao refused to listen and imprisoned Tian Feng. Later, Yuan Shao was defeated by Guandu, and someone congratulated Tian Feng, saying that if the lord was defeated this time, you want to restore his post.

Tian Feng said, "I'm a tragic bird, Yuan Shao is a man who is generous on the outside and dares to the inside. If he wins this time, he will not only forgive me, but also put me on the left and right, and take it out from time to time to make him feel tolerant and humiliate me." If he loses, he becomes angry and embarrassed, I will be determined.

Pan Jixun's face turned red when he heard this, and he stood up and said, "You, who are you not good at learning? You have to learn from Yuan Benchu. Are you embarrassed to deceive a junior?"

Zhang Juzheng laughed, his mouth slightly raised, and he looked like I was like this, what do you do to me?

Pan Jixunzhi could not change Zhang Juzheng's idea and could only leave the prime minister's mansion. Not only did he not help Lin Yanchao, but he ended up hurting him.

Pan Ji got onto the carriage, looked at the prime minister's mansion, cursed "the treacherous prime minister" before leaving resentful.

At this moment, on the Tongzhou Canal, Lin Yanchao had already boarded the boat back south and set off on his way home.

Most of the people in the cabin were already asleep, but Lin Yanchao stood at the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, without any sleepiness. Looking at the gray outside the boat, only the pine light on the bow illuminated the river in front.

Silent in the darkness, Lin Yanchao was full of thoughts at this moment, thinking about the future of his career, and his mind couldn't help but float.

If there is a drought in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, I may be promoted to the position. If there is no drought, I will be dismissed from the position.

According to the truth, I should expect drought on the Yellow River.

But if there is really a drought, then the people along the river will be really affected. Even if there is a warning in advance, it will not be able to save so many people.

However, if there is no drought, I will lose my post, but I feel wronged.

When Lin Yanchao was reading books, he wrote that unscrupulous doctors always hoped that the local plague would break out so that they could make money by themselves. The despicable coffin shop owner hoped that the doctor would not cure people, so that they could sell more coffin boards by themselves.

If to be honest, Lin Yanchao hopes or not, what if there is a drought in the upper reaches of the Yellow River?

Just as Lin Yanchao thought so, he suddenly felt a chill on his face, as if something had dampened his face.

Then a rustling sound rang out from his ears, and Lin Yanchao hurriedly avoided into the cabin, and then he heard a loud noise in the cabin.

It's raining!

This was not an ordinary light rain, but heavy rain, and the rain was extremely heavy, covering the sky. Lin Yanchao was both happy and sad when he saw this heavy rain, but at this moment he felt mixed emotions.

The shipboat behind the cabin behind him was still stumbling on his body, but the rain hit him.

Lin Yanchao was surprised and was about to remind the shipman to avoid entering the cabin.

But the shipman suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to the sky several times, then shouted: "That's right, it's heavy rain, heavy rain! It's finally raining. Thank you for your blessing!"

Lin Yanchao looked at the boatman so excited and asked, "Boatman, why are you happy in the rain?"

The shipkeeper said happily: "Master, don't you know that you are in the capital? Is there a drought this year?"

"Yes, if there is a drought, the farmer who is throwing food in the field is worried. What are the people on the water worried about?"

"You can't say that. If it rains heavily, the river will be abundant. If it rains poorly, our section of water below Tongzhou will be cut off, and we have no plans. Master, do you think the rain is coming well?"

Lin Yanchao smiled and thought for a while and said, "That's good!" (To be continued.)8
