Su You laughed so hard: "Wonderful! It's only because you wrote too much, I remember everything I wrote!"

Su Shi rolled his eyes: "Don't make trouble! You are still more talented than Zi You, but now you have fewer poems than him. Are you okay with this?!"

Su You waved his hands indifferently: "Keep talking, keep talking."

Su Shi continued: "It wasn't until one day when I went to Mr. Sun Xin to kill time and read dozens of poems by a scholar from him that I suddenly realized that the person who left the poem in the mountain temple must be

It’s this kid!”

"This son's surname is Qin, his name is Guan, and his courtesy name is Shaoyou. I didn't meet him until I left Hangzhou. We had a drink together and gave him the song "Poppy Poppies" as a gift."

Zhou Nan, who had been serving wine beside the two of them, stood up with emotion: "The slave family has nothing to do, so I used this song to thank Xiao Su Shuai and Da Su Shou for their kindness."

The silk and bamboo are intertwined, the sandalwood boards are clear, and Zhou Nan's singing sings gracefully into the clouds, making the whole boat intoxicated.

The sound of waves beats on the pillow and the dawn rises in Huaihe River. The moon peeks out at the small people. The ruthless Bian water flows from the east. It only carries one boat of Lihen towards Xizhou.

We were drunk together in Zhuxi and Huapu. The smell of wine was more than the tears. Who taught us that the wind is in the dust, brewing a trouble and sending it to others.

…

After the banquet, Su You moved the boat to meet Su Shi's family. He met Wang Runzhi, who was still so calm and gentle, Su Mai, who had grown into a fifteen-year-old boy, four-year-old Su Ji, and two-year-old Su Shi.

Su Guo.

He held little Su Guo and put him on his lap, and then placed Yao Ye's music score, so that everyone in the Su family came to pay homage to the elders.

Su Mai has admired the magical little Yao Ye since he was a child. Now the child is also very knowledgeable. Su You also brought him a gift this time - two boxes of secret scientific examination papers.

Seeing Su Mai's somewhat pale face, Su You said proudly: "In this set of secret papers, there are your father's, your uncle's, and my scientific examination practice questions, which were all corrected by your grandfather.

Passed."

"This is the treasure of my Su family. Uncle Yuanzhen's success in the imperial examination is also due to his contribution. I have been collecting and sorting it since then. One set of question books has now become two large boxes."

"I also found a great scholar to be your teacher, Zhang Hengqu of Songyang Academy. He will guide you carefully to complete the test questions."

After saying that, he hugged Su Guodian's legs and smiled at Su Shi: "Zizhan, look at the children today, with such good learning conditions, they are much luckier than we were back then. It's really enviable..."

Su Shi looked annoyed: "Back then, Mr. Wang wrote a poem to exempt him from the imperial examination. I told him that it was useless to take the poetry test, and it was even more useless to take the policy test, because there are more and more people like you!"

This was originally revenge for Su You, but now he was satisfied and asked his second son Su You: "Uncle Ji's legs and feet are now flexible? Can you jump and show Yao Ye?"

Su Yan really jumped up like a deer, making the ship's plank clank.

Su Ji was the first child of Su Shi and Wang Runzhi. Wang Runzhi couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes with his hands: "Thank you uncle, this child doesn't make you worry less."

This sentence is indeed true. When the baby was born, his head was very long and somewhat deformed. He could not walk until he was four years old.

"I have a long head, horns and cheeks. I don't know how to do anything at the age of four, and my ambitions bother my back and belly."

Su Youqiu went to Master Xiao Tian and Master Daolong. Master Daolong introduced him to Master Yuanjing, a senior monk with medical skills and spiritual powers in Hangzhou.

What a distinguished monk, tall and thin.

"There is a mountain gate in the north and south, with two hills above and below. There is an old master in the middle, who is as thin as a stork. He doesn't know what to practice, and his green eyes shine in the valley."

Master Yuanjing agreed to the treatment, but there was a condition: Xiao Su must become a monk.

So Su Shi carried Su Yi to the temple on his back.

"I shaved it off in front of Guanyin, and the power was sent to me in brown."

Master Yuanjing ordained Xiao Su Yumo, and probably provided guidance or something, and then a magical and supernatural event happened.

"The master comes to rub the top, and then we start walking while the deer runs."

Not only can you walk, but you can also run!

After Su Ji recovered, Su Shi bought a ultimatum to redeem Su Ji's life. At the same time, he "ordained a person and told him before Guanyin", so that he could be Su Ji's substitute.

And "give up a hundred pieces of silk and make a statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva" and worship it.

When the family talks about this incident now, they are both sad and emotional.

A beautiful little maid with lively eyes came forward to pour tea for Su You. Su Shi said: "By the way, this is my adopted regular maid, whose surname is Wang and Chaoyun."

Su You couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the little girl still had her hair on her head.

Su Shi looked at Su You's expression: "The little girl comes from a poor family. She has been in a singing and dancing class since she was a child. She is also somewhat famous in Hangzhou. I liked her temperament, so I redeemed myself with her."

In later generations, Su Shi was blackmailed on the Internet. In fact, Chaoyun was just a maid when she entered the Su family at the age of twelve, and was only accepted as a concubine at the age of eighteen. She was not the crazy man who destroyed young girls in the minds of many people.

However, Su You didn't know this, so he only warned Su Shi: "The Song Dynasty decrees that a woman can only marry at the age of fourteen. I don't care if you want to serve her as a regular servant, but from now on, whether you choose a match for her or anything else, you must be an adult." after."

Su Shi probably didn't have that much in mind now, and said carelessly: "You are overthinking, Chao Yun is smart and smart, I just can't bear for her to get stuck in the mud and be unable to extricate herself."

Hahaha... I'm thinking too much, so let's wait and see.

I want to say goodbye to you, we are both eunuchs and travelers.

This is how the ancients said it was a very lucky thing for two uncles and nephews to meet each other on their way to their respective posts.

After cherishing each other, the journey must continue.

However, Da Su had so many friends and admirers in Hangzhou, so Su You naturally wanted to build up these relationships.

These are all things for later. Suyou did not rush to Hangzhou to receive the seal. Instead, he stopped in Suzhou and inspected the water conservancy projects in the Taihu Lake area while waiting for the large machinery team behind.

The Taihu Lake area is uniquely endowed with natural resources. The purpose of water conservancy can be summed up in just ten words - there will be no flooding in low fields and no drought in high fields.

To achieve the first point, corresponding water supply, water storage, and drainage projects must be established.

On the west side of Taihu Lake, ponds were built and canals were built to divert water from high to low, forming an irrigation water network, nourishing the highlands on the north and south, and finally collecting in the east.

To the east of Taihu Lake, where the terrain is low-lying, dams must be built to avoid flooding and protect farmland.

At the same time, river channels must be widened to prevent siltation, and countless north-south water diversion channels must be manually excavated among dozens of natural rivers running from east to west. This can allocate water sources and the hydraulic power of each outlet river to prevent local disasters.

Then comes traffic and blocking the sea water.

What makes Su You incredible is that in a place known as a water town, most of today's water conservancy projects are actually to resist drought!

This requires the construction of sluices, water diversion channels and other regulating projects at the mouth of the river to meet the needs of tidal diversion and storage, ensuring that water is available in Taihu Lake regardless of drought or flood.

It can be said that the Taihu Project, like Dujiangyan, is actually a thousand-year-old project that ran from the pre-Qin Dynasty to the Song Dynasty and reflected the high wisdom of the Chinese nation.

Su You and Jia Quan stood on Gusu Mountain, with Zhang Qi and Cai Jing behind them.

Jia Quan unfolded the map in his hand and explained to Su You the causes of flooding in the entire Taihu Lake area based on the large water surface in front of him: "Look, Commander Yun, Taihu Lake was called Zhenze in ancient times and was covered with dense water networks. In ancient times, there were 260 rivers in and out of it.

many lines."

"There are two main water inlets, one is here, and northwest, here is Jingxi Baidu;"

"The other one is in the southwest, with the seventy-fourth section of Tiao River;"

"As for the water outlets, in ancient times there were three main rivers: Wusong, Dongjiang and Loujiang, collectively known as the Three Rivers of Taihu. Among them, there are Zhenze Port 72 in the southeast, with some incoming and outgoing; and there are 18 Ports in Wujiang in the east, all of which are

Dehukopu."

"Relying on the natural water system, from the Qin and Han Dynasties, dikes and ponds began to be built in the low fields along the lake; river water was gradually used in the highlands along the river; ponds began to be built one after another on the shores of the Tao and Hui lakes in the north."

"In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, larger ponds such as single ponds, Wu ponds, and north and south Xietangs were built to the east of Jintan in the west. In the Gao Township of Changshu in the east, twenty-four ponds were dug along the river to connect to the tides of the summer and autumn rivers, providing irrigation and no worries about drought.

.”

"During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, irrigation and drainage projects were built in Run, Chang and Su. In the eighth year of Tang Yuanhe, Mengdu was opened in the west of Changzhou, connecting the Yangtze River to the north and the canal to the south, covering a total area of ​​41 miles, and diverting water from the river to irrigate 4,000 hectares of farmland.
