Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 304 Zuo Guangdou's three views are broken, is Zhang Haogu really loyal to the country?
"What do you mean?" Zuo Guangdou was stunned.

Then, Zhang Haogu said loudly: "Your Majesty, it is a good thing that Mr. Zuo asked himself to be the supervisor of this project. If so, let Mr. Zuo go to eat and live with the workers. When coming to supervise the implementation of this project, if there is any corruption or unreasonable place, let Zuo Guangdou come to the front line in person!"

Zhu Youxiao was taken aback for a moment, but then he laughed: "Well, well, this method is very good, Zuo Guangdou, since you think so, I will not be satisfied!"

Zuo Guangdou's eyes widened, but a thought popped up in his mind: "Wait a minute, when did I say I'm going to be this supervisor?"

"Mr. Zuo is really a noble scholar!" Han Lin on the side also said quickly: "I can't wait!"

"Your majesty, minister!" Zuo Guangdou was a little stunned at this moment, when did he say that he would eat and live with the workers, and when did he say that he would come to the front line in person?

"Okay, this matter is settled like this!" Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "Zuo Guangdou, it's rare that you have a benevolent heart. I approve it!"

"Fuck me!" Zuo Guangdou felt the urge to hit someone.

Xiyuan
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing anymore, seeing Zhang Haogu said: "Master, this move of yours is really good, just let this Zuo Guangdou be the supervisor of the army, not bad, this Zuo Guangdou, I have already I just want to get rid of him!"

This Zuo Guangdou was originally just like Yang Lian, and he was known as the Six Great Gentlemen of the Donglin Party.

However, Zhang Haogu's imperial examination fraud, on the whole, Zhang Haogu was very restrained, did not expand it, but solved a Yang Lian, followed by this group of civil officials related to Liaodong, not only Dongdong The Lin party, even if it was not the Donglin party, was cleared out by Zhang Haogu.

Otherwise, Han Yu can still be the chief assistant?Otherwise, Zuo Guangdou could continue to be the deputy capital envoy?
It cannot be expanded, nor can it be extremized.

Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I do have a water control strategy here, please have a look at it!"

Zhu Youxiao was taken aback for a moment, and casually opened the policy theory handed over by Zhang Haogu. The policy theory was translated into vernacular. With Zhu Youxiao's current level of education, he probably wouldn't be able to understand classical Chinese if you teach him.

"Agriculture in the north is backward, and its disadvantage lies in the lack of water conservancy. The northern region must develop. "Drought is not a disaster, flood is not a harm, the only way is to promote water conservancy!" "

"Water control follows three causes and fourteen arguments-three causes, one is "the time of the sky". All living things in the world cannot lack water. The south uses water as a benefit, while the north uses water as a harm. This is because the north has no consciousness. When it comes to biological growth, the first is to control water. The second is to "benefit according to the location", that is, to develop irrigation according to the natural and geographical conditions. The third is "because of people's feelings". Water is like blood, and northerners don’t have a very clear understanding of water conservancy. The key is that the imperial court and governments at all levels should pay attention to this issue and call for and encourage the construction of water conservancy.”

Zhu Youxiao looked at it carefully, and he really couldn't help showing a bit of surprise on his face.

This thing seems to be interesting.

Subsequently, the memorandum also provided opinions on specific water control measures: dredging the river, opening dams and gates, building ponds to store water, etc., and several other suggestions are collectively referred to as the "Fourteen Discussions."

Zhu Youxiao closed the memorial and couldn't help but said: "This memorial is well written, and the water control seems to be quite well-regulated. Who wrote it?"

Zhang Haogu coughed and said, "Zuo Guangdou!"

"Zuo Guangdou?" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help being stunned, and read the memorial several times: "It's really him?"

"Exactly!"

Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, minister, although it is said that sometimes Zuo Guangdou and Zuo Guangdou belong to different factions, but I still have to say that this Zuo Guangdou still has talent, regardless of political opinions or not, minister I thought, since he has this ability, let him hold the bone as a torch, and use this old bone to shine for Daming!"

Zhu Youxiao was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing: "Holding the bone as a torch, what the master said is a bit interesting, but this person is from the Donglin Party, so I'm afraid he won't deal with the master!"

"Your Majesty, isn't Bi Maokang also a member of the Donglin Party, and isn't he also highly valued by the Emperor now?"

Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "This Zuo Guangdou is the Donglin Party, which is fine. If he and the minister don't deal with each other, it would be even better. Let him supervise the work, keep an eye on our water conservancy projects, and watch our water conservancy projects. For road projects, let him find faults, and if there are problems, we will fix them, if it is our own, I am afraid that we dare not make any suggestions!"

Zhu Youxiao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Master's words are very reasonable. I didn't expect that Zuo Guangdou scolded the master a lot on weekdays, and the master was willing to let him supervise our project!"

"emperor!"

Zhang Haogu said seriously: "I only have a public heart and no selfishness. I only wish the world to live and the country to live in peace!"

左府
At this moment, Zuo Guangdou's mansion is also in dire straits.

Zuo Guangdou is 51 years old this year. According to the normal historical process, Zuo Guangdou was imprisoned in May this year and was disposed of by Eunuch Wei in August. However, until now, Zuo Guangdou is still alive and kicking.

On the one hand, Zhang Haogu did not engage in expansion, on the other hand, above the court, Zhang Haogu did not want to appear to be the only one of his own.

At least, on the surface, isn't there Donglin Party above the court?
Zuo Guangdou's wife was crying, and the children couldn't help but burst into tears.

As far as Zuo Guangdou is an old bone, can he stand the toss?

"What are you panicking about?"

Zuo Guangdou said coldly: "It's just being a supervisor, and it's not that I'm sent to jail, it's nothing more than eating and living with the workers. Why do I, Zuo Guangdou, have any fear?"

"Teacher!"

Standing in front of Zuo Guangdou was a young man who couldn't help but said: "Zhang Haogu is a treacherous man, he clearly wants to kill people with a knife, who dares to say no in this court now? The emperor was deceived by traitors!!"

"Xianzhi!"

Zuo Guangdou glanced at the man, shook his head and said, "It's not that easy for Zhang Haogu to deal with this old man, hehe he asked me to be the supervisor, then I will be the supervisor, I just want to watch, If there is any problem, the old man will point it out to him and report it to the court, and I want to see if Zhang Haogu dares not to report it to the emperor!"

The young man was about to speak, but there was a knock on the door: "Where is Zuo Guangdou, a civil servant from the Internal Affairs Department!"

Zuo Guangdou was taken aback for a moment, glanced at his son Zuo Guozhu, and said calmly, "Open the door!"

"Politician Li Ge has seen Mr. Zuo!" After Li Ge came in, his attitude was quite polite.

Zuo Guangdou frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"

Li Ge took out a copy of the Ministry of Officials and handed it in front of Zuo Guangdou, saying: "Mr. Zuo, now you are concurrently serving as the chief engineer of this major waterway project in the capital, and you are going to report to the Water Conservancy Bureau of the Ministry of Industry today. I came here specially today. , please go over!"

Zuo Guangdou was slightly taken aback: "Let's go now?"

"It's noon soon, if Mr. Zuo is hungry, it's okay, I can wait!" Li Ge said without saying a word.

"No need, the old man will go there after I explain!" Zuo Guangdou snorted coldly, explained a few words to his family casually, and then got into the carriage directly.

Ministry of Industry, Water Conservancy Bureau
This is a department specially set up by Zhang Haogu, and it recruits water conservancy experts and talents from all over the country.

After Zuo Guangdou arrived, he saw Zhang Haogu.

"Hey, Mr. Zuo is here!" Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "But have you eaten?"

Zuo Guangdou snorted: "Old Zhang Ge, didn't you ask me to be the supervisor? I'm here!"

"This water conservancy project is a major event that benefits the country and the people!" Zhang Haogu smiled: "There is a shortage of water in the capital area, Mr. Zuo, don't worry, let me recommend it to you!"

"What?" Zuo Guangdou was slightly taken aback.

"This is Wang Xian!"

"This is Chu Jinping!"

this……

Zuo Guangdou was a little surprised. He knew some of these people, and he didn’t know some of them. He knew Wang Xian. Less thinking.

This group of people was searched together by Zhang Haogu?

"Could it be that Zhang Haogu really wants to build water conservancy projects well?" Zuo Guangdou couldn't help but have a thought in his heart.

He didn't like Zhang Haogu.

Originally, Zhang Haogu and the Donglin Party did not deal with each other. In addition, the series of new policies that Zhang Haogu tossed out were also a tossing of the capital.

It is preconceived that Zhang Haogu is not a good person.

In addition, he is a southerner, and Zhang Haogu has not divided his land now, who knows what will happen to him in the future?
And what happened next was what really shocked Zuo Guangdou.

Zhang Haogu actually ordered someone to design a model to completely simulate the land and rivers of the capital to determine where to build reservoirs, where to build canals, and how to irrigate the farmland to the maximum.

In addition, there are specially designed glass water channels, which are specially used to simulate different environments, so as to determine the way to widen the water channel. "It is to develop irrigation according to the natural and geographical conditions and adapt measures to local conditions.

At first, Zuo Guangdou still had some sneer, but now, he fell into deep thought.

Zhang Haogu really wants to build water conservancy?
Isn't this kid a traitor?Why do you want to build water conservancy?

"Today's discussion!"

Zhang Haogu said lightly: "It is to set a basic tone, how to repair the reservoir, how to maintain the canal, where to build the reservoir, where to build the canal, and how much money will be spent. Let's make a statistics. In the future, the household The Ministry is also good at appropriating funds!"

Zuo Guangdou still didn't want to participate in it at first, but seeing that this water conservancy project is also a project he has been thinking about, and now Zhang Haogu is pulling the dog emperor to dismount together, and is going to spend money to repair it, if he doesn't seem to be involved I can't justify it.

Once it is really done, it will benefit thousands of years.

He and Zhang Haogu did not deal with each other, and had different political opinions, but in terms of water conservancy, he really wanted to make a career.

At this moment, there were bursts of noisy voices outside.

Zhang Haogu frowned, left the office hall, and asked, "What's the matter?"

I saw a group of guards pressing down on a young man passing by, one of the guards cupped his hands at Zhang Haogu and said, "Master, a young man came in over the wall and trespassed on the important site of the Water Conservancy Bureau!"

Zhang Haogu narrowed his eyes, waved his hands and said, "Take it down!"

"Wait a minute!" Zuo Guangdou on the side hurriedly said, "Stop, stop!"

Zhang Haogu's eyes fell on Zuo Guangdou, but Zuo Guangdou smiled wryly, and said slowly: "Mr. Zhang Ge, this person is my disciple, please forgive me!"

"Your disciple?" Zhang Haogu was taken aback for a moment, and the young man in front of him glanced at him and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Shi Kefa, with the word Xianzhi!" the young man said loudly.

"Shi Kefa? Are you Shi Kefa?" Zhang Haogu was slightly taken aback: "It's interesting!"

Shi Kefa is also famous.

In the early years, he studied with Zuo Guangdou, and Zuo Guangdou loved Shi Kefa very much and regarded him as his heir.

He even felt that his son was inferior to Shi Kefa.

In fact, Zuo Guangdou's feeling is right, his son is not famous, but Shi Kefa's name will go down in history.

If there is no accident, this year, Zuo Guangdou will be imprisoned by Mr. Wei, and then he will be tortured in various ways. Shi Kefa also respects himself as a teacher very much, so he wanders outside the prison every day, wanting to go in to see him, but the prison The guards were very strict and he couldn't get in. Shi Kefa was so anxious that he jumped up and down.

Later I heard that Zuo Guangdou had been burned, and seeing that he was dying, Shi Kefa bribed the guards to sneak in.When he saw Zuo Guangdou, he saw Zuo Guangdou sitting against the wall, his flesh and blood had already been ripped apart.Shi Kefa couldn't control himself, knelt down and began to cry.

Zuo Guangdou heard the voice and knew it was Shi Kefa, his favorite student, but he couldn't open his eyes.He raised his arms with great effort, opened his eyelids with his hands, stared and shouted: "Stupid! What kind of place is this? What are you doing here! The country has fallen to such a point, I won't live long, you run here again Come on, let someone kill you, who will inherit me!"

Shi Kefa was heartbroken and couldn't bear to leave.

Zuo Guangdou scolded angrily: "Idiot! Go away! If you don't go, I will beat you to death!"

While speaking, he touched the iron shackles on the ground, but his hands were no longer in control.Shi Kefa had no choice but to leave the prison crying.

Not long after, Zuo Guangdou passed away.

Of course, this is in history. Now, Zuo Guangdou is still alive and kicking. Zhang Haogu still admires Zuo Guangdou's ability to build water conservancy. Although this person does not belong to his own party, but, This person has the ability to use it himself.

He is not the kind of Eunuch Wei who kills but doesn't care about burying him. Eunuch Wei did get Zhu Youxiao a lot of money, but what about the follow-up?If the tax system is not established, and the people's life is not prosperous, Daming is still in this dead state, and none of the conflicts that should be resolved have been resolved.

What Zhang Haogu has to do is to break the old pattern and establish a new order, so that Daming can raise taxes to improve the capital's water conservancy projects, increase food production, and solve the problem of land mergers.

"It turned out to be Zuo Gong's disciple!"

Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "Let him go out, I was waiting to discuss the important affairs of the court, came in to make a commotion, please forgive me this time, next time, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Shi Kefa was driven out of the Water Conservancy Bureau, but Shi Kefa did not leave, but waited patiently and anxiously.

A group of people continued to discuss the water conservancy project in the entire capital area. Zhang Haogu had a big idea, that is, to cover the entire capital area, and these fields that are divided into acres should be irrigated.

Every river and every mu of land must be divided.

"The project can be roughly divided into two parts!" Zhang Haogu raised two fingers, and said slowly: "The first one is the professional engineering team of the Beijing Normal University. We need to solve the big troubles and problems. The river, and even, guide the flow of the river. The second part is to let the strong men of the farm start to build canals. The small canals are connected to the big canals. The main purpose is to irrigate the farmland. A detailed list of plans is coming out!"

Zuo Guangdou was very surprised. He originally thought that Zhang Haogu was a great success and wanted to swallow a fat man in one go, but now, Zhang Haogu is making a three-year or five-year plan, and It's not a cluster, it's not messing around. ''

As a result, Zuo Guangdou's attitude towards Zhang Haogu changed a lot.

He originally had an idea of ​​doing practical things, but now that he found himself to be the supervisor, Zhang Haogu was willing to accept the opinions he put forward.

"In this way, we can form a network of waterways in the north. With these, I am afraid that the grain harvest in the entire capital area will increase!" Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "Okay, it's getting late, During this period of time, we need to formulate a charter, and after a while, I will show it to the emperor!"

"After finishing the sweet potato porridge, let's go back!" Zhang Haogu ordered someone to prepare sweet potato porridge and send it to everyone.

Zuo Guangdou also took a bowl of pumpkin porridge, and found that Zhang Haogu was drinking the porridge as if he was still reading the minutes of the meeting. He couldn't help but come to Zhang Haogu's side and asked: "Mr. Zhang Ge, are you serious?" Do you want to build water conservancy?"

"If you don't want to build water conservancy, what do you think I'm doing?" Zhang Haogu glanced at Zuo Guangdou, smiled and said, "So Zuo Gong thinks I'm the kind of person who is greedy for money?"

"If this is the case, it will be a blessing for the people of the capital. If it is really done, it will benefit the future!"

Speaking of this, Zuo Guangdou gave Zhang Haogu a solemn salute: "Although the old man is somewhat displeased with Zhan Zhangge's behavior, I admire this matter!"

"Grandpa Zuo, do you think that I, Zhang Haogu, have selfish intentions?" Zhang Haogu said with a smile, "Or do you think that I, Zhang Haogu, are in the Jiangshan Sheji, which is in trouble for Ming Dynasty?"
