I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 121 This is the ceiling for talking nonsense!

Enough benefits, or a reputation that lasts forever.

You said that there are enough benefits, so is it possible to buy the inspector?
King Chu and Ye Huaiwu frowned upon hearing the words.The treasury is already empty enough to starve mice to death, so how can there be money?

As for the everlasting reputation?
what is that?
Fame is an illusory thing.Invisible, intangible, intangible.This content is too broad!
Guo Yi looked at the bewildered expressions of the two of them, and explained with a smile: "As it has shown now, we already have a few good strategies to deal with the drought on Jingbei Road, and the results are remarkable.

According to the two of you, should these strategies be vigorously promoted? "

"That's natural!" Ye Huaiwu nodded without hesitation and agreed: "There is no need to ask more questions. Such a good strategy must be vigorously promoted in our Great Zhou Dynasty!"

Droughts occurred on Jingbei Road and Kuizhou Road almost at the same time, but if you look at it now, there is not much shadow of drought in most areas of Jingbei Road.

Even if the river stops flowing and the ponds dry up, every village has dozens of wells, enough to feed people and even water the fields.

As for irrigation of large tracts of land, the method of blocking the mouth of the river to store water has been implemented long ago, and enough river water has been retained.

What's more, the bobbin carts on both sides of the Dahe River on the entire Jinghu North Road have formed a magnificent man-made landscape.

In addition to these, there is also the newly implemented method of connecting the old rivers, which is also a rare and good strategy.

Then, you can go to Kuizhou Road to have a look.

According to the palace newspaper of the imperial court, there was also a servant sent by the king of Chu to send a message that the entire Kuizhou Road, except for those areas along the big river, was already starving and dying.

The river stopped flowing and the ponds dried up. Not only were the crops scorched and dying, but even the daily drinking water for humans and animals was extremely difficult.

Although the Fuxing Company had already started to deliver the new Luoyang shovel for well drilling there, the government did not vigorously promote it and only sold it privately at the bottom, which could play a limited role.

When Ye Huaiwu heard Guo Yi's words, he seemed to think of something, but he was still a little vague. He couldn't help turning his head to look at Guo Yi, and asked, "What does Erlang mean?"

"The inspector came all the way from Beijing to help us implement various strategies on the Jinghu North Road to fight the drought. This is a great kindness!
We should write a note to the imperial court and praise the spirit of selflessness and self-sacrifice of the inspector.

At the same time, let the whole world know that our various drought-resistance strategies on Jinghu North Road also have a contribution to your Excellency the Inspector.

In this way, there will be a rich and colorful record in the history books: During the Zhou Dynasty, in the spring of the 12th year of Ning'an, there was a severe drought on the Jingbei Road, the river stopped flowing, the ponds were dry, the fields were barren, and the people were in dire straits.

A certain patrol envoy traveled thousands of miles to implement various drought-resistance strategies, and the results were remarkable, and countless people were alive.The imperial court has clearly verified that it is true, and it is hereby ordered to be promoted and implemented throughout the country! "

hiss!
This is the ceiling of talking nonsense!

Clearly Jinghu North Road has successfully resisted the drought, but the inspector has not yet shown up...

But the credit and the fame have already arrived...

But his flirtatious idea definitely hit the seven inches!
As a writer, what do you like most?
It's not high-ranking officials and rich salary, it's not the support of the front and back, it's not the rich clothes and food, and it's not the money that is just a thing of the moment...

reputation!

Fame, no doubt!
Not the kind that will last forever, but the one that will last forever!

As expected of Guo Erlang, Zhinian and many monsters!The measurement of people's hearts is simply wonderful.Moreover, this kid can speak better than Mr. Storyteller.

"Erlang's plan!"

Ye Huaiwu was truly convinced. In order not to increase the burden on the people, but also to benefit the people, he dared to deceive the court!

Good guy!
This courage is so big that there is no limit!
The King of Chu also smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Just as Erlang said! After I go back, I will give the imperial court a statement about the reduction and exemption of the spring tax."

"Well, His Highness writes the papers. We don't have to wait for the court's reply. After going back and forth, we will go out in ten and a half months. We don't have that time."

Even though he has never been in the system, the general procedures are still clear.You report to the Shangguan, and the Shangguan will reply to you again, evading and arguing back and forth, the great youth is just wasted like this.

When Ye Huaiwu heard this, he couldn't help but take another look at him. It really is that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers!
This operation is like eating a bear's heart and a leopard's courage.

But it was undeniable that what he said was right, so he nodded and agreed: "Erlang's words are true! Now it's the busy season of farming, and we can't delay any longer. The sooner we implement it, the better!
Or be more cautious, first carry out around Jiangling Mansion, wait until the busy farming season is over, and then vigorously promote it on Jinghu North Road. "

Guo Yi also agrees with this point. Before the busy season of farming, he will vigorously promote the plover and water conservancy thresher.

Moreover, he also intends to count these two things on the head of the inspector, so that he can also be a witness, so that he can vigorously promote it throughout Dazhou.

The king of Chu thought for a while, and nodded in agreement: "Okay! I'll go back and write an official document, post it in the afternoon, start recruiting people, and start construction tomorrow."

He's also a quick-fire guy.

And Ye Huaiwu was also impatient: "Then I will go to the outside of the city to check, so that I can confirm tomorrow's arrangement!"

After speaking, after bowing his hands and saluting, he turned and rode away.

The king of Chu looked at his back and was very pleased. It was a great blessing to have such capable ministers and officials under his command.

Then, he looked at Guo Yi and asked, "What else is Erlang planning today?"

"I'm going to take a look at the North City Gate. I recruited dozens of people yesterday to repair the official road outside the North Gate."

ah!By the way, Manager Zhu reported yesterday, and the King of Chu nodded clearly.

The official roads of the Great Zhou Dynasty were very close to modernization. On both sides of these official roads, there were some trees in the metropolis to shelter the passers-by from the rain and the sun.

At the same time, in order to reduce the rainwater blocking the passage of the official road, drainage ditches will be built near the official road to help the rainwater flow down.

In addition, in order to make the management of the official road more convenient, there are road signs, milestones, and traffic rules for each section of the road, which are very similar to modern road signs.

This will greatly facilitate the businessman's arrangement of the itinerary and reduce a lot of unnecessary losses and troubles.

In addition, there are many facilities around the official road for pedestrians to rest, such as thatched sheds and post stations.

The official road is not only an important road for sending and receiving official documents and transporting goods, but also provides supplies for pedestrians on the way, increasing more employment opportunities and economic income.

In the past, when building roads, river sand and lime were mixed with an appropriate amount of fine loess (fine mountain soil that was dried, crushed and sifted) and mixed into mortar. The mortar added with fine loess had very good viscosity, which was enough to make the road not bad for many years. .

However, Guo Yi wanted to build Jiangling into the largest commercial and trade center in the south of the Yangtze River.

In this way, there will be a lot of passing merchants, and the carriages and mule carts coming and going will test the endurance of the road.

Therefore, he planned to rebuild the official road, and after the foundation was solidified, it would be paved with red bricks.

And Yang Liwen had already built the porcelain kiln, so he happened to have nothing to do, so he was assigned by Guo Yi to be the supervisor of road construction.Moreover, several subordinate officials were sent to assist him.

At this time, seeing Guo Yi approaching, Yang Liwen greeted him immediately with a smile: "Erlang, it's the first time for everyone to get started with this red brick pavement, so it was a bit slow at the beginning. Check it out and see See if you qualify."
