Chapter 960
Zheng Yi brought Wang Su, who was very reluctant, and finally came to the most dishonest place in Luoyang. This place was opened by a big merchant surnamed Luo in Luoyang. It was also a huge wine shop, just like Xuxianyuan. , but, the dancers here are more relaxed, and most of the people who come here are young people. Virtuous Confucian sages usually don't come here, and Wang Su just saw the two "improperly dressed" at the door. "The dancer was almost scared to death.

No matter what he said, he refused to go any further. Zheng Yi took a lot of effort to force him into the compound. There were young students everywhere in the compound. They were drinking happily and talking about poetry and literature. Fu, there are also a few who directly hugged the dancers, which is really against the etiquette, and you can see all kinds of people when you walk in. By this time, it is not only the students, some people are talking about the current situation The hottest book, and some people are talking about the latest anecdote.

A servant stepped forward and looked a little surprised at the appearance of Zheng Yi and Wang Su. They were all wearing Confucian robes, and they had a certain aura on their bodies. They didn't look like they came here to sit, but they seemed to come here to arrest students. The young man hurriedly led them and walked towards the other side, "Dear guest, there is decoration over there, you can't go in yet, you can only sit in the side courtyard, everyone, don't take offense!"

Zheng Yi nodded, followed the boy with Wang Su, walked into a side courtyard, sat down, Zheng Yi observed the surrounding situation, shook his head, and said: "Could it be that the people's pursuit is like this?" , it shouldn’t be like this, even if it’s the pursuit, it should be more elegant, if this goes on, I’m afraid that in the future, those who come from Taixue will be rich and poor, this official school is useless, what the big man needs is a minister with outstanding ability and morality.”

"Ministers must be prohibited from entering and leaving such a place. In addition, there are students who should not come here. As for other people, there is no other way. The way, the prosperous age is not necessarily these singing and dancing girls, right?" Zheng Yi asked, Wang Su's thoughts were not here at all, he opened his eyes wide, looking at the dancing girls in the distance with relish, very comfortable.

"Ahem." Zheng Yi cleared his throat.

"You're right." Only then did Wang Su come to his senses, and said with a silly smile.

Zheng Yi looked at him, heaved a long sigh, and stood up, "Forget it, the solution to this problem is for me to figure out by myself, Ziping will go back.", "I'm going back now?? Cough cough, okay Let's go." Wang Su hurriedly stood up, Zheng Yi put the money on the case, and followed Wang Su to go out. Just as he reached the door, he saw a familiar figure who was being dragged towards the door by the servant. Come here.

Zheng Yi and Wang Su stared blankly at the man, who also looked like he had seen a ghost. Seeing the two people in front of him, Liu Qu never dreamed that he would be so unlucky. It was the first time he came to see , I met two people I didn't want to meet the most. Zheng Yi, an old man, is very old-fashioned. If he met him today, scolding must be unavoidable. As for Wang Su, good guy, this is my father-in-law! ! !

Um? ?No, what are they doing here? ?

"Mr. Zheng, what you said is indeed true. I came here in a low-key suit this time, and only then did I realize that what you said was true. Alas, these young people!" Liu Qu said angrily, before gently turning to Wang Su. After bowing, Wang Su didn't care, Zheng Yi was silent for a moment, and then said: "Then Your Majesty will make a good inspection and the minister will go back first."

"Uh, I've finished my inspection, and I'm going back..."

In the second year of Tianji, the construction of the canal had come to an end. The Grand Canal that Cao Situ had in mind extending in all directions was finally implemented in the hands of Zhuge Liang. From Jingyang to Yanluo, and then to Hebei, a lot of manpower and material resources were spent. , it can be said that almost all the taxes in the Year of the Heavens were spent on the canal. However, this time is indeed a good opportunity to build the canal. Through these rangers who are idle at home, they can continue to dig. It has played many roles.

First of all, the common people were not used, and the busy farming was not delayed. In addition, it also solved the problem of rangers causing trouble in the countryside. Finally, because these rangers were afraid of the corvee in temples, many of them chose to become craftsmen and other professions, because rangers, Becoming the most important corvee object of the big man, becoming a ranger means that you are busy outside all day, working with the soil, unable to go home, and half dead from exhaustion. It is better to be a craftsman or a merchant!

In the past, there was such a method. For example, in the Qin Dynasty, in order to prevent everyone from going into business, merchants were the priority subjects of corvee collection. As for rangers, there were no rangers in Qin. Now, when this kind of disaster falls on the rangers, the increase of rangers is effectively curbed. Zhuge Linggong has contributed a lot, killing birds with one stone, which is probably the case.

According to Zhuge Liang's speculation, the canal will be completed in about five years of Tianji, and it will probably take many years to complete it. After all, this is not a small project, and the temple can no longer go all out to build the canal , because of Lu Su, after he summoned many officials, he successfully came up with several effective road solutions. In June of the second year of Tianji, Lu Su and Man Chong completed the first road law of the Han Dynasty.

It records the regulations on travel, giving way, punishment for bumping into people, driving under the influence of alcohol, driving under uniform, etc. This law lasted for one year, and it is relatively comprehensive and complete because it is based on the Han law. , which recorded in detail the various requirements of road travel, such as driving in the same direction, bi-directional driving and other new knowledge appeared, which caused a sensation in the world.

And the shaper of these advanced knowledge is our Zhuge Linggong
After seeing the roads in various places and the driving of chariots and horses, it is said that he thought about it for eight days. He stayed in the study for eight days and did not go out. Finally, he walked out of the house with some pictures he had drawn. On it, there are pictures of some roads and schematic diagrams of many carriages driving. Among them, there are pictures of dividing the road into two sections and driving in both directions, and there are also schematic diagrams of several roads and multiple vehicles traveling in the same direction.

Regarding the problem of the standard of carriages, Lu Su and others also came up with the best solution, dividing today's carriages into five categories, and made detailed formulations for the sizes and scales of these five different carriages, and conducted a comprehensive survey of the world. It is also stipulated that those who own a carriage must report to the temple and record it on the side before they can pass. Zhong Changtong also put forward his own suggestions on the design of the road. However, his suggestion was too crazy, so it was not accepted. accept.

Zhong Changtong proposed to set up some road signs to clarify the knowledge of various roads, but his hundreds of ghost-like symbols, everyone thought it would be useless, and the drivers would not understand them. , refused, and Zhong Changtong proposed again that the grooms could be assessed, and only those who passed the assessment could go on the road, which was ridiculed by everyone. In the countryside, even children aged seven or eight can drive. What kind of assessment is there? ah?
It is not unreasonable for people to always laugh at Zhong Changtong. This guy always has a lot of strange ideas hidden in his mind. Sometimes, his ideas are unacceptable to reformers like Zhuge Liang. It is really nonsense. What is what is, without thinking at all, Zhong Changtong doesn't care about others' evaluation of him. When others abuse him, he will laugh out loud, making his opponent even more angry.

In the second year of Tianji, in July, the temple officially issued the "Laws of the Great Han Law Road". At the same time, it also made changes to the carriages and roads. The change of the roads is to see if it will be effective. If it is really effective, then they can promote these roads to the whole country. This is not a small problem. Luoyang has a lot of horse-drawn carriages going back and forth every day.

To maintain the roads in the Sili area, it cannot be completed in a hurry, and the construction cannot be started at the same time, otherwise it will cause huge congestion in a short time, and the carriages may be queued from Luo County to Chang'an.

Outside the canals and roads, the newly established monitoring station also started a series of actions of its own. They moved around, arrived at the place in person, inquired about the news from the mouths of the people, and then verified it. Sure enough, from the mouths of the people , Many problems can still be found. The common people are afraid of the temple and the protection of the officials, so they dare not expose it. However, when the officials of the monitoring station pretend to be passers-by and ask them for information, they unexpectedly discover a lot of information.

The officials were resting in the mansion, when suddenly there was a shout of killing, and before they got up, they saw a few soldiers standing in front of him, holding long knives, and the card of the surveillance platform in one hand, they did not listen to these The excuses of the officials were directly brought into the prison van, and then they were escorted back to the prison on the monitoring platform. This kind of thing happened all over the place, and many officials were arrested one after another.

In September, Zhang Fei went to the temple again, hoping to make the Xingfu a residence under the name of the surveillance platform.

Zhuge Linggong refused.

On September [-], there were rumors that Zhang Fei, the supervisory order, brutally tortured and killed officials in the prison of the supervisory platform.

On September [-]th, Zhang Fei took people to Zhuge Liang's mansion to inquire about his property and found nothing inappropriate. Then he left. The whole world was in an uproar, and everyone condemned Zhang Fei's rude behavior. Afterwards, Zhang Fei Fei also launched a raid on the mansions of Pang Tong and even Liu Yi and other important officials, without warning in advance, he conducted interrogation, and the investigation went on all the way, the behavior of the monitoring station made everyone extremely angry.

However, Zhang Fei still brought more panic to the crowd. Many officials, worried all day long that their evil deeds would be exposed, dreamed of Zhang Fei's ferocious face, and they went to the Xingfu to surrender themselves the next day. There are not a few officials who do not need to be dealt with through the monitoring platform.

Zhang Fei finally achieved the effect he wanted.
