Lord of the House: Chapter 8 lip battle before dinner

From Jiuhua to Chongcheng, there are still more than 100 miles of waterway. When it was almost dusk, Lin Fu welcomed Liu Tingzhou, Liang Wenzhan and others, and then spent the night in Jiuhua first.

In the early years, Jiuhua was the land and water wharf connecting Gaocheng and Xinghua counties in Chongzhou and Hecheng pastures.

It's just that the Yunyan River was silted and shallow earlier, which is not conducive to the navigation of large ships. There is no river connection between the Xishan River and the Yunyan River. Chongzhou is located in the corner and the Hecheng grassland has a single function. Jiuhua is only a very short distance between the three counties. Inconspicuous little commercial port.

The connection between the Xishan River and the Yunyan River, the dredging and widening of the Yunyan River, Chongzhou has become the core origin of the Jinhai grain route, and nearly half of the rice grains in the counties in the hinterland of Huaidong must pass through the waterway from Jiuhua to Henan City, Chongzhou, move the ship to sea.

In less than two years, Jiuhua has grown into a prosperous town.

Under the auspices of Hu Zhiyong, Jiuhua City has been built.

The scale of Jiuhua City is not large, with a hundred steps on a Saturday, it can only be regarded as a military fortress and a fortress.

The city is solidly built, with floating soil dug out, stone paved as the foundation, rammed earth as the core, and the outer wall is covered with bricks.

Lin Fu went out of the town of Huaidong to set up an envoy, and there were heavy troops stationed on the front line of Shanyang and Siyang, and Jiuhua had no pressure to station troops.

However, Lin Fu still had two battalions of Jia soldiers stationed in the Jiuhua military camp.

Xinghua, Gaocheng, Jianling and other counties in the hinterland of Huaidong, if there is an emergency, it will save a day to transfer troops from Jiuhua than directly from Chongzhou.

The garrison does not interfere with local affairs, and those who arrest thieves and set up cards in Jiuhua are still the sword archers directly under the jurisdiction of the Inspection Department.

Liu Tingzhou's understanding of Chongzhou only came from local chronicles. He came here at this time and had a new perception of Chongzhou.

Jiuhua, as the inspection department, is directly under the direct jurisdiction of the Huaidong System and Envoy Department, but Liu Tingzhou has a closer look at the local conditions and can realize that the Huaidong System is under the envoy department, and military and civil affairs have clear boundaries and are managed separately.

Thinking of this, Liu Tingzhou glanced sideways at the black and thin man behind Lin Fu with a somewhat restrained expression.

After the introduction just now, Liu Tingzhou and others recognized him as the blacksmith Sun Dalu, who had stirred up discussions in Huaidong during this period of time. Listening to his name, you can know his identity as a craftsman.

The Metallurgical Supervisor and the Deputy Metallurgical Supervisor are only the official titles set within the Department of Production and Envoy. The imperial court could not manage so many tricks. Just like the official positions of the ship administrator, deputy envoy, Baigong supervisor, deputy supervisor, ordnance supervisor, deputy supervisor, they are collectively called the general and the general, and they are divided into eight grades. , From the ninth grade, is a low-level civil servant.

But how to say, Lin Fupi raised a craftsman household as an official, just poured a spoonful of cold water into the boiling oil pan, which was a big taboo.

Lin Fu held a banquet in the post house to entertain Liu Tingzhou, Liang Wenzhan and others. On the Chongzhou side, Lin Mengde, Qin Chengzu, Sun Dalu and others were accompanied.

When entering the table, Hu Dahai, the magistrate of Yandu County, happened to be sitting opposite Sun Daluo.

Hu Dahai felt resentful when he heard that Chongzhou made a blacksmith as an official, and when he saw Lin Fu condescending to welcome Liang Wenzhan in person, he felt envy and hatred in his heart, and he couldn't hold back his madness. Seeing the indecent sitting of Sun Dalu, who was facing the case, Hu Dahai couldn't hold back more and more, and couldn't help but tease: "Master Sun is an adult at first, do you know what the word 'adult' means?"

For more than half a month, Sun Dalu was still adapting to his new identity. He followed Lin Fu's instructions and entered the most basic literacy class in the War Training Academy, far below the level of breaking and analyzing characters.

The status of craftsmen is humble, but outstanding people such as Ge Fu and Sun Dalu are only from humble thieves’ background. They are restricted from reading and literacy, and they cannot enter official positions. However, in terms of intelligence and intelligence, they are far above ordinary people. There is also a sense of arrogance.

Unable to understand Hu Dahai's eloquent words, Sun didn't panic when he hit the stove, holding the table in his hand, waiting for someone to help him.

Sitting in front of the main case in the center, Lin Fu just smiled and said to Sun Dalu: "Master Hu asked you why you are an official..."

Sun Daluo bowed to Lin Fu, and then said to Hu Dahai, who was sitting opposite the case: "My Sun Daluo has not read much, and I don't know the truth of being an official. I only know how to strike iron? Does Mr. Hu know how to strike iron? "

"I don't know how to strike iron, but if I want to take care of the iron work, I will choose the good ones from the craftsmen, and I will take the craftsman as the head, whip the moss, and make them perform their own duties, so that their business will not be disordered..." Hu Dahai said.

"What is good and what is bad for a craftsman? My grandson Daluo has been crawling in front of the iron furnace since he was born. I can tell the difference, how can Master Hu distinguish?" Sun Daluo asked rhetorically.

Hu Dahai didn't expect that this reckless man would be so eloquent, he argued with himself, and sneered: "Good or bad, there is word of mouth, how can someone who is an official not be aware of it? These are all techniques to control people and become officials, Sun If adults have the heart to learn, this official will not hesitate to teach each other..."

Liang Wenzhan smiled slightly, and Hu Dahai's words were also aimed at him. It seems that Lin Fu personally came to Jiuhua to meet him, which really stimulated him, making him make things difficult for Sun to beat the stove, but at the same time he couldn't help showing off.

"How to be an official, I let Master Hu be confused for a while. But the master said, as long as I can make the iron smelting workshop produce more good iron every year, I will do it as a junior; if I can't , depending on how beautifully I say it, the adults will remove me as a general and let someone else do it..." Sun Dalu said, "I am a rough person, and I only learned the ability to strike iron. I don’t know what other officials should do to be good. As for the young master, I think that as long as more good iron can be produced, it will be considered a good job. If Mr. Hu can give some pointers on how to make iron smelting The factory produces more good iron, and Sun Daluo is willing to take Master Hu as his teacher; if he learns to be an official, then forget it..."

"Master Sun's remarks are wonderful, and they have opened up Wen's horizons. After thinking about it, Master Sun's remarks can be summed up in one sentence: Emphasis on actual performance rather than academic name," Liang Wenzhan was on the side, he knew what Sun Daluo said. , it should be caused by Lin Fu's influence during this period, but it is the basis of Lin Fu's selection of talents in Chongzhou. He changed the subject and said, "The most important thing in Huaidong is to repair and defend the seawall. Who presides, If the Xiuhanhai Embankment can be built and repaired, then the Minister of Industry and the Minister of Finance will be worthy of it; otherwise, it will be like Chen Zhongnian, no matter how good the morals and writing are, what is the benefit? The harm is more... Regarding the repair of the embankment, how does Mr. Hu think this seawall should be repaired?"

Liang Wenzhan talked about the chaos of the people who built the embankment on the Yellow River, and Hu Dahai was also speechless.

Liu Tingzhou remained silent, thinking about the words of Sun Daluo and Liang Wenzhan, and secretly said: If the actual performance is used to test, who can preside over the fast and good completion of the Hanhai Embankment?

Lin Fu didn't care about the arrogance, this kind of dispute would last for a long time, and he was mentally prepared.

Although the two Han Dynasties only respected Confucianism, it is not that there are no other academic schools in the world. There is a big controversy that will create opposition, and there will be many benefits. His ultimate goal is to make new flowers in the old school. Instead of clinging to the weak, let the minds of the world continue to be rigid.

It may take several generations to complete the things here, and there is no rush to achieve it in a hurry, but at the moment, attracting talented people and craftsmen will increase Huaidong's strength.

Lin Fu instructed the entourage around him: "Go out and see, have the old workers come back?"

After a while, Ge Siyu and old worker Ge Fu walked in.

Although Ge Siyu was a son of a craftsman, he passed the exam for being a scholar, and served as the chief of the Jiangning Ministry of Industry.

Ge Siyu changed into a lake cyan official robe and walked into the hall to salute everyone.

At this time, the weather was already cold, and Ge Fu was wearing a fur coat with deep gray stains, and wearing a pomelo hat, like an old country farmer, his appearance was unremarkable.

Lin Bie had someone set up a table beside him before, and now he stood up and greeted him: "Old worker, sit here..."

Hu Dahai saw Lin Bie arrange a seat comparable to Liu Tingzhou before, and thought that someone important came over, but he didn't expect it to be a bad old man. His spirit was frustrated by Liang Wenzhan and Sun Daluo, but he wanted to see this What is the old man.

"If it wasn't for the old engineer Ge getting old, I would have bothered the old engineer Ge to be the commander-in-chief of the **** repair. Now the old engineer Ge is a consultant to the production department," Lin Fu introduced Ge Fu to Liu Tingzhou. " After the construction of Chongzhou New City, the old engineer Ge went on an inspection along the line of Hecheng, and he is most familiar with the matter of repairing and defending the seawall. When it comes to repairing and defending the seawall, we still have to ask the old engineer Ge..."

Liu Tingzhou remembered the number one person Ge Fu, and he sat in front of the case and said: "It turns out that it is Ge Fu, an old worker who is praised by the Queen Mother as a 'skillful teacher in the world'. Tingzhou is polite here..."

"Can't afford it, can't afford it..." Ge Fu returned the salute.

Ge Fu is a special existence in the craftsman's household. He was rewarded by a special order and got rid of the craftsmanship. Only then did his son Ge Siyu take part in the scientific examination to become an official. Lin Fu asked Ge Fu and Liu Tingzhou to sit against the case, and Liu Tingzhou would not feel inferior.

Hu Dahai also thought of Ge Fu, and thought about what Liang Wenzhan had just said. He clearly wanted to say that Ge Fu was better than Chen Zhongnian as a minister of the Ministry of Engineering. Although he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to be too presumptuous.

Lin Fu didn't care what Hu Dahai thought, Liu Tingzhou could naturally actively cooperate with the **** repair, and that was the best, and said to Ge Fu, "I have to trouble the old engineer to briefly talk about the **** repair with Mr. Liu... Get things done before the end of the year.”

"Okay, I'll talk about it," Ge Fu said, "Although there is no complete seawall along the coast of Huaidong, where conditions permit, some seawalls have been organized and repaired piecemeal by themselves. I have gained some understanding. The skilled craftsmen are hidden in the people. After the list was published in Chongzhou, dozens of people came to Hecheng and Chongcheng to offer advice one after another. Although the embankment has not yet been repaired, a lot of money has been spent on rewarding money, but It is true that there are some insights and some skilled craftsmen. It has greatly supplemented the previous plan, and some deficiencies have been corrected. With the help of these newly recruited skilled craftsmen, the old man is more confident..."

Liu Tingzhou still didn't know that Chongzhou Zhang Bang offered a reward to ask Xiu Dice, and it was after Piju Sun Dalu became an official.

Liu Tingzhou had a plan in mind to build and defend the seawall in the east of Yandu County, so he rushed there uninvited. This plan was also obtained during his tenure as an official in Yandu, by visiting villages and summarizing the experience of his predecessors. It took him two or three years, and he thought he was quite mature.

I didn't expect Lin Fu to use the blacksmith as an official to make a big impact~www.mtlnovel.com~ In such a short period of time, he has recruited a group of useful **** repairers from the Huaidong coast...

From this point of view, this matter spread rapidly in the Huaidong area, and most of them also had factors that Chongzhou condoned.

The Hanhai Embankment was built in sections, and the southern section between Hecheng and Jiangmen was built first, and the work was done the most, and the plan was naturally the most complete. The plan for the middle and northern sections from Hecheng north to Qingjiangpu is relatively rough. Regardless of whether the plan was rough or not, Ge Fu gave Liu Tingzhou an introduction.

The northern section of the seawall is the section of Yandu County, and the plan for the northern section proposed by Ge Fu is similar to that of Liu Tingzhou, which has been surrounded by walls for several years.

Lin Fu said: "This northern section plan was presented by Zhu Ai, a native of Yandu Xinjin. Chongzhou only sent people to Yandu twice. I just thought this plan was feasible, and it has not yet been finalized. This Zhu Ai is somewhat He said that he knew Mr. Liu, and Mr. Liu also asked him about the repair of the embankment, but I don't know whether it is true or not. If he exaggerates, I will drive him away. If it is true, there will be many envoys Give him the seat of commander..."

Liu Tingzhou sighed in his heart and said, "This official has indeed asked him for advice on **** repair. This man is a cattle herder. When he was young, he used to point out the situation and talk about wars. The villagers said he was crazy. When he grew up, his temperament was calm. When I passed Xinjin, he came to offer advice, saying that it was indeed reasonable. It was a talent for repairing the embankment, but when I was young, I fought hard and ruined half of my face. Make him an official..."

"I'm a pig herd, so it's appropriate to use a cow herd." Lin Fu laughed, seeing Hu Dahai's confused eyes, thinking that he didn't know that there was such a number one person under his rule.

Under the Huaidong system, there was a limit on the number of subordinate officials and subordinate officials, but there was no limit on the number of officials, as long as they could afford it. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
