Han Dao world

Chapter 1083
After thinking over and over again, Xun Yue accepted Zhou Zhong's invitation.

If he doesn't find the answer, he will die with regret.

The next day, Zhou Zhong rushed to the autumn flood construction site.

Before meeting Han Sui, Zhou Zhong visited a few places first, and judged with a professional eye whether Han Sui's anti-autumn defense was a mere formality or a down-to-earth protection.

To be honest, he didn't hold out much hope at first.

Han Sui is very smart, and Huang Yi is also very shrewd, but the soldiers under their command are only Xiliang people who are used to fighting, not water workers.It is very difficult to have the heart to protect the environment and the people. It is indeed a bit high to ask them to be proficient in geotechnical engineering.

It should be more of an exemplary role.

But after seeing a few construction sites, Zhou Zhong was greatly surprised.

Not only did he find no obvious shortcomings, but he even felt that there were many ingenious ideas, which were better than the water conservancy projects he had done in Jizhou before, obviously from the hands of masters.

When he asked, he realized that although the person in charge of the autumn flood was Han Sui, the general of Fujun, the specific person in charge was Captain Yuan Min.

As soon as he heard the name Yuan Min, Zhou Zhong knew that Han Sui had found the right person.

This is a real water connoisseur.

He heard from officials in Situ's mansion that when Zhang Xi was in office, he wanted to make Yuan Min an official in charge of water conservancy.However, Zhang Xi went all over the place, but was unable to put it into practice, and finally missed it.

Now Yuan Min still got the chance to display his strengths, but Zhang Xi was burdened with shame and disappeared from people's memory.

But in two or three years, no one mentioned him anymore.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhong couldn't help feeling that the world is impermanent and people's hearts are changeable.

Back then, when Zhang Xi moved west with the imperial court, he was also a loyal and fearless veteran.He had a lot of opportunities to get away, but he never gave up. He didn't expect this to be the end result.

It's actually not as good as Yuan Shu, a fierce ghost.

When Zhou Zhong saw Han Sui and Huang Yi, they were gathering together and listening to Yuan Min's explanation of this year's water regime.A group of people gathered around, including middle-aged adults in their thirties and forties, and teenagers in their early twenties. They were all wearing short shirts and bamboo hats. Their faces were dark, and they looked like they were often exposed to the sun.

Some of them had their trouser legs rolled up, and their feet still had unwashed mud, as if they had just come from the construction site.

Seeing Zhou Zhong, Han Sui stood up, clapped his hands, and said with a loud smile: "Everyone, wait a moment, Lord Sikong is here. This is your direct superior, and you will not be neglected."

Everyone turned around to salute.

According to the court system, they are dual management.It is necessary to cooperate with the actions of the local counties and counties, and it is also subject to the business management of the Sikong Mansion.If he wants to be promoted in the future, he will most likely follow the line of Sikong Mansion.

Therefore, the Sikong Mansion's annual merit test is very important.

Now that Lord Sikong is in person, how dare they neglect him.

What surprised them was that Sikong had come to such a big event, and they hadn't received any news before, and they didn't know which link was neglected, so they didn't even have time to change clothes.

Embarrassed by the crowd, or hiding behind the crowd, trying to hide their dirty legs and feet.

Only Yuan Min was indifferent, saluted, and stood quietly aside.

Zhou Zhong and Han Sui greeted each other, exchanged a few pleasantries, then returned to Yuan Min, looked at the map full of various symbols, and asked about the specific arrangements for water control.

Yuan Min answered one by one.

Zhou Zhong asked a question or two from time to time, and asked the onlookers to answer.Some people answered fluently, some stuttered because of nervousness, but most of them still spoke out.

Satisfied, Zhou Zhong turned around and said to Han Sui, "The general of the Fu army controls the waters like he controls the soldiers. He is well-disciplined and his reputation is well-deserved."

Han Sui laughed and said a few words in a hurry.He bowed his hands to the southwest, pointed to the crowd in front of him and said, "I'm just a warrior, and it's my duty to protect the environment and the people. As for water control, I have followed the teachings of the emperor above, and all the lords have done their best. I am just following orders and not worth it." Mention."

When Zhou Zhong saw it, he secretly sighed with emotion.

He really didn't expect that Han Sui would have such a humble day.

I don't know what trick the emperor had to forcibly turn a Xiliang warrior into a Confucian general.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Zhong realized that the people next to him were related officials from nearby counties and townships, and they were in charge of water conservancy, earthworks, farming and other affairs.Every autumn flood, they will gather together to act as the main force for flood control in counties and townships.

Yuan Min was providing them with the necessary guidance, but Han Sui and Huang Yi came here specially to welcome Zhou Zhong.

Han Sui didn't say it directly, but Zhou Zhong guessed that this should be Huang Yi's idea.

It is said that when the Wolf Riders went out to fight, they often gathered together to review the previous battles, sum up the experience and lessons, so as to fight again.At the beginning, Huang Yi could only listen, and later, Huang Yi became the leader, responsible for deciding the direction of progress and the battle plan.

Zhou Zhong himself often adopted this method when he was in Jizhou coordinating the water and soil of various counties and preparing to dig canals.

The reason is also very simple. He himself is not proficient in water conservancy, and he has limited understanding of Jizhou's geography and hydrology, so he cannot undertake the important task of overall coordination.Only by in-depth communication with the local officials and listening to their opinions can the task entrusted to him by the emperor be successfully completed.

The process of communication is also the process of learning.It is precisely because of his experience of digging canals in Jizhou that he is now standing in front of Yuan Min and others, so he can ask relatively professional questions.

Of course, compared to Yuan Min, his major is still not enough.

Therefore, he wanted to discuss with Han Sui, and when the autumn floods were over, he would transfer Yuan Min to the Sikong Mansion and let him go to Jizhou to be in charge of the canal.

Han Sui had no objection, saying that Yuan Min was originally a subordinate of Sikong Mansion, and you can adjust it however you want.

Anyway, Yuan Min has been in charge of the autumn floods for several years, and the trainees in nearby counties and counties have already received corresponding training. There is no difference without Yuan Min present.

As Han Sui said, he took out a manuscript and handed it to Zhou Zhong.

"Although I don't know much about water conservancy, I've benefited a lot from reading it. Sikong is an expert, so I'm sure I'll have more profound opinions. I also ask Sikong to take a look at it and correct it, so as to reduce corruption. It would be even better if I could write a preface."

Zhou Zhong took it and saw that it was written by Yuan Min. Part of it was about the history of water control, dating back to Gun and Yu's father and son;

The handwriting of this book is very regular, and it should be the final draft, but there are some eyebrows on it, and the handwriting is different from the main text.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Zhong guessed that it should be Han Sui's handwriting.

Han Sui wanted to make a name for Yuan Min's monograph, but he lacked confidence, so he wanted to pull him, Sikong, to write the preface, and write his name into the preface by the way.

"Since Yuan Jun is a member of the Sikong Mansion, this is my duty, how can I refuse." Zhou Zhong took the manuscript with a smile. "I'll take it with me first, read it on the way, and send someone to send back the manuscript and the preface after reading it."
