Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 126

Qinghe!

Jia Rong naturally knew that this famous river was an important source of water for the city of Shenjing, and it was also one of the starting points of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in Shenjing.

"What are they watching there?" Brother Rong was curious about this.

"Look at the fun. I heard that the Thirteenth Lord wants to farm in Kaihe, Gyeonggi, so that farmers in Gyeonggi can maintain Shenjing, so as to reduce the burden on farmers in the southeast, and at the same time prevent floods in Gyeonggi. All cats and dogs, come and watch the fun together gone."

Duan Yu sneered again, "The [-] water soldiers rely on the canal to make money. How could the governor of the water transport in Huai'an agree to open the river to garrison the fields? He knew that the topic after the opening of the river was to change the river transport to sea transport. Not only did the magistrates have no money to earn, but they also had to sail on dangerous seas. So everyone came to watch the fun.”

"Aren't they afraid of being taken away by Lord Thirteen?"

Duan Yu said politely: "I'm afraid, so I specially invited the Supreme Emperor's kindness. The little third master in the palace should also come today."

Not long after, the group finally arrived at the bank of Qinghe River.Brother Rong didn't expect that this place was actually a water transport terminal. Before he dismounted from his horse, he saw the front of the crowd, looking at Qinghe's little third master who seemed to be concerned about the country and the people.

After hearing the hug back, the young third master immediately turned around and hurriedly came to greet the thirteenth master.

"I've seen Uncle Thirteen!"

The Thirteenth Master didn't give him any face, and cupped his hands and called out: "I see His Royal Highness, but because I have an illness on my foot, it is not appropriate to give a big gift. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

The little third master rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "Why does Uncle Thirteen need to be so polite, but I don't know when the opening of the river will take place?"

An old man walked out of the crowd and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry, the purpose of coming here today is not to open the river."

Ok?
Not for opening the river?Jia Rong looked at Duan Yu suspiciously, your intelligence is unreliable.Brother, what's going on, can you still get false information by following Master Thirteen?

Duan Yu said shyly, "How can Brother Wei lie to you? You'll know after reading it."

Jia Rong is behind the Thirteenth Master, and he is comfortable hiding in the crowd, and no one thinks about him.I made up my mind not to interrupt whether it was farming or water transportation.Those are not his job as a guard, so he wanders around the world.

Sometimes I think about Sister Feng's Miaoman figure, or think about Qin Keqing's gentle appearance, and the two figures cross in my mind.Occasionally, the ruthless woman Xue Baochai can appear, or I can think of Xiao Daiyu who I haven't seen for a long time.

I don't know how Xiao Daiyu is doing in Yangzhou!

Over there, the thirteenth master completely ignored the powerless young third master.

Although this little third master was established as the crown prince on the day when Xiande ascended to the throne, the biggest factor for him to become the crown prince was the resigned Supreme Emperor.Father and son disagree, not to mention that the youngest third master is still in the third place, and there are young uncle and second young master in front of him.

Jia Rong always felt that this guy had no roots and acted weirdly.

But suddenly I heard the third master sincerely say: "Uncle Thirteen thinks that his nephew is also here to make trouble, Uncle Thirteen can rest assured, opening rivers and farmland is a good thing that father and emperor decided to do for the country and the people, and this palace naturally supports it." Yes. I came here today to listen to the teachings of the Supreme Emperor, and to learn how to manage rivers and fields from Uncle Thirteen."

The Thirteenth Lord looked at His Royal Highness in surprise, and said lightly: "In that case, let's disperse the people on the embankment."

The little third master chuckled, waved his hands and asked his guards to chase them away.

The officials of the Water Transportation Department who sent a lot of filial piety into the palace were all dumbfounded, they didn't bring such fun.

The little third master doesn't care about these idiots, he knows very well in his heart, after all, his own father is the emperor, and he is the prince.How can I really smash my father's face, this will have to wait until the day when the Supreme Emperor is buried, and I can't even protect the position of the crown prince.

Jia Rong was also petrified by the little third master's coquettish manipulation, how could she still be like this?
Master!

Great!

I admire you!

Unexpectedly, the young third master found his humanoid ornament in the next sentence, and asked, "Uncle Thirteen, did Brother Rong come here today?"

Seeing His Highness the Crown Prince looking around, Jia Rong walked out from the guards and saluted, "I've seen Your Highness."

"It's no wonder I didn't find you. You came here in plain clothes. Let me search through the uniformed guards to find you."

Jia Rong felt strange when he heard this. What does it mean to have a good meal on the bodyguard?I am not a flea, how could it be on the guard.Just stand there and laugh.

After a group of guards cleared the river bank, Jia Rong finally saw what the legendary river looked like.

The river surface is very narrow, not as wide as imagined, but the river water is surprisingly clear.It was only one place on the river bank that attracted Brother Rong's attention. It was where the river bends and impacts. The rammed earth on the river bank has cracked and will collapse at any time.

The Thirteenth Master said: "Have you noticed? This river is related to the water use of the entire Shenjing. If this river cannot be managed, the water use of Shenjing will always be a problem."

Why did Lord Thirteen tell me this?Brother Rong nodded awkwardly.I am just a bodyguard, and not an official of the Dushui Division.

Jia Rong didn't have much interest in this time. These problems can be solved by people from the Water Division, not by herself.

King Zhongshun wanted to hear Brother Rong's thoughts, and said, "My king plans to open a canal to divert the water from the nearby Shahe River into Qinghe, and then build a canal from Qinghe to divert water into Shenjing. Irrigation. Brother Rong, do you have an idea to see if it is feasible?"

What's wrong with this, diverting water from Shahe to Qinghe, and then diverting water from Qinghe to Shenjing?It must be too troublesome!
Jia Rong frowned, and saw the old man who had spoken to the third master earlier with his ears open.Is today a test for me?I'm just a second-class guard.

Brother Rong laughed and said, "The Thirteenth Master's idea is very good, very wonderful, and it will definitely work."

He thought in his heart that there would be a reservoir near Shenjing in later generations, which not only solved the flood disaster of Chaohe Baihe and the irrigation problems of surrounding fertile fields, but also made Shenjing city no longer suffer from water diversion.

It's just that the project is too big, Brother Rong is not going to mention it.That thing is more troublesome than governing the Gyeonggi waters.With the current manpower and material resources, it is basically impossible not to do it for more than ten years.

Brother Rong doesn't want to cause this trouble for himself yet.

The old man nodded with a smile, took out the map from his pocket, opened it, and said: "Actually, it is not necessary to divert water into the Qinghe River. Shenjing's water is supplied by hundreds of springs near the Qinghe River. You only need to open canals on the Shahe River and Qinghe River to divert water for irrigation. Hundreds of hectares of paddy fields can be opened up around here.”

Doing engineering, there is no right to speak without investigation.

Brother Rong listened to them discussing this, so he naturally became an invisible man again.Jia Rong is also half-baked, there is no way to study this in the court, so she kept silent.

The little third master next to him said: "Brother Rong, don't hide your secrets. You have researched this natural thing and know its usage best. How to use it so that it is the cheapest and most effective?"

Jia Rong has not personally investigated, and does not know the local soil and rock conditions, as well as the magnitude of the flow and impact force.Now he is imitating Baochai, he can understand and write in his heart, but he shakes his head every time he asks a question, and just doesn't express his opinion.

On the way back, the little third master grabbed Brother Rong to accompany him.

"Brother Rong was very eloquent when he was in Uncle Shisan's house last time, why didn't he say a word today." The third master complained.

Which one of the sellers won't boast about their products?

The last time I was doing publicity, so that all officials in the court can accept cement well in the future, and it is best to use cement in various occasions.

Cement for canal repair and slope protection, cement for house and road paving, cement for city dam repair, cement for bridge and wharf...

In short, the cement can be used in any occasion, so that the imperial court will vigorously purchase the cement of Ningguo Mansion.Otherwise, only King Zhongshun's newly established water conservancy farm uses cement, which is still a little less.

When the Ministry of Industry also starts to purchase vigorously, and the supply of cement kiln factories exceeds the demand, it will be a fortune.

He was laying the groundwork.Anyway, now the third master won't think about his cement kiln anymore, and talk more about the benefits of cement.If he can lead His Highness the Crown Prince to use cement to do a few good deeds that benefit the country and the people, Brother Rong will be of great merit.

The key is to make money.

After entering the inner city of Shenjing, Brother Rong accompanied the Thirteenth Lord back to the palace.

Master Thirteen gave me another scolding.

Jia Rong said aggrievedly: "It's not that the kid doesn't want to talk about it, it's just that the big guys have thought of those things. I don't need to talk about it, but if it is how to plan water conservancy and paddy fields, where to build canals, where to build dams, these slightly specific things , the kid understands a little bit."

King Zhongshun laughed just now, and said: "I know you're hiding something private, let's go, follow me to the water conservancy farm to be on duty in the future."

Ok?
what happened?

What did I just say?

Why was he transferred to the Water Conservancy Camp Tianfu on duty.

When Jia Rong came out of Zhongshun Palace, she was still in a daze.Leading the horse, walking aimlessly on Shenjing Street.

Of course, there is another reason that the horse really hurts after riding for a long time.

"The uncle is back!"

The little Que'er in the mansion saw Brother Rong's figure and hurriedly reported to the grandma in the main hall.

"Are you still used to being on duty on the first day?" Qin Keqing changed the uniform for Uncle Rong.

Brother Rong nodded, it should be okay.Being a bodyguard doesn't have much to do, just make soy sauce with the clan members every day.But...the only advantage of going to the water conservancy camp farm is that you don't have to stay overnight in the palace, and you can go back to the mansion every day to make out with your own wives.

Thinking of this, Jia Rong fell headlong into Qin Keqing's arms, feeling the warmth from her left and right cheeks.

Comfortable!

I thought in my heart that it was not so uncomfortable, and I was a little happy.

When I was happy, I couldn't help making troubles with my hands, and walked towards the warm place.

Qin Keqing's face was ashamed for a while, and she immediately turned cold, because she saw Ping'er from Xifu Lian's second grandmother's home.

The servant girl said: "Grandma just sent me to ask if Uncle Xiao Rong is back, she said she wanted to ask about Uncle Xiao Rong's first day on duty so that she could write back to Uncle Wang."
