I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 96 No!Never learned!

The gray-haired middle-aged man in front of him, who praised Guo Yi for his talents, was named Ye Huaiwu, and his name was Provincial.

It was a small embankment officer of the Embankment Division under the Jiangling Mansion.Of course, that's just who he is now.

Back then, he was a "Yubu doctor" under the Ministry of Industry.

He is a member of the fifth rank of the imperial court.

The Yubu doctor of the Ministry of Industry is responsible for taking charge of mountains, gardens, and hunting, collecting logging stones, fuel charcoal, medicines, and gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin pits for waste disposal and recovery.

And he learned from the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry "Minhang Wen", and was good at construction, transportation, engineering, farming and so on.

Almost everything is done very well, and with his background, it can be said that he is the default candidate for the next minister of the Ministry of Industry.

However, today's emperor loves gardens and palaces very much, so he often orders him, a doctor of Yubu who is good at building, to build gardens and palaces.

However, to everyone's surprise.

He refused.

More than one rejection.

And the reason he gave was that the country was in a time of internal and external troubles, with natural disasters and rebels raging inside, and the Northern Liao and Xixia outside.

Therefore, these fats and ointments should be used where they should be used.

People's fat, people's ointment, these four words appear on the official document so nakedly, without any cover-up.

This time, the present Holy Majesty was completely offended, coupled with some villains who were jealous of his position, who kept fighting, the present Holy Majesty demoted this smelly and hard 'Ye Huaiwu' in a fit of anger.

He was relegated to Jiangling Mansion thousands of miles away, and became a small embankment officer.

It can be said that he has plummeted from a fifth-rank official to a low-level supervisor.

And Ye Huaiwu has never recovered since then, he is completely disappointed with the court, and also disappointed with the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

In his opinion, with such a fatuous majesty and officials who are corrupt and attack each other, the Zhou Dynasty, which has been in turmoil for nearly a hundred years, is not far from disintegration.

Ever since he was demoted to Jiangling Mansion and became a dike supervisor, he has been drunk and sleepy almost every day.

But just over a month ago, a severe drought hit Jiangling North Road, where the weather had been favorable for several years.

He forced himself to cheer up, inspected the water level every day, and built a temporary residence at the Shuize Monument by the river.

At the same time, he searched through the government records of Jiangling Mansion in an attempt to find a solution to the drought.

But what he is good at is construction, transportation and farming, and some of them are not good at water conservancy.

Therefore, he found some books on water conservancy through various relationships.During the day, he inspected the embankment and the water level, and at night, he lit up the oil lamps and stayed up late to read and study.

As a result, his body that had been hollowed out when he was in a daze before, coupled with staying up late to read and study, in just half a month, his hair and beard turned gray.

As for his life and changes, the king of Chu was very clear about it, and every time he mentioned it, he felt sorry for the underappreciated Yubu Langzhong.

At this moment, hearing his high evaluation, I couldn't help but raise my brows, thinking quickly in my heart.

Now, the drought has lasted for more than three months, causing many rivers to stop flowing and lakes to dry up.

And these rivers and lakes provide water for the people around them, not only for people to eat horses, but also for watering the fields.

As a result, there have been water difficulties in many areas.

But now, Guo Yi proposed to use the old channel of the big river to supply water to these disaster-stricken areas.

It is indeed a clever plan!

The king of Chu immediately felt itchy and wanted to issue an official document, ordering the regions with conditions to follow this law.

But tell him rationally, do you want to check for omissions and fill in the vacancies?
Even though this method was proposed by Zhi Jin Duo Yao Guo Erlang, but he is not a saint, so it is inevitable that there will be omissions...

Just like before, when he proposed to block the lake to store water, he ran to Zhangjiawan to do a field investigation.

As a result, there were a lot of problems.So that in the end, blocking the lake to store water will become blocking the estuary to store water.

Of course, it has also been proved afterwards that blocking the river mouth to store water is indeed feasible and a good strategy.

With this in mind, the King of Chu couldn't wait to go and investigate the place himself, so he asked, "Then who knows where the nearest old river is?"

"Xiliang Ferry on the banks of the Han River!"

"Xiliang Ferry!"

Ye Huaiwu and Guo Yi responded almost at the same time.Afterwards, upon hearing each other's responses, they all turned their heads at the same time and looked at each other.

There is quite a feeling of sympathy.

"Xiliang Ferry?" The King of Chu murmured softly, and then asked a little shyly, "Where is that? Is it far from here?"

"Not far!" Ye Huaiwu shook his head and explained: "From here, go west to the bank of the Dongjing River, then go south along the bank of the Dongjing River to the confluence of the Han River, and then turn west, along the bank of the Han River. Go west, within fifteen miles, you will be Xiliangdu."

The reason why Guo Yi knew where it was was because when he came back from Liuhe Village, he floated back along the Han River.

The Xiliang Ferry, as the name suggests, is a ferry, a bustling ferry, and an important supply point on the banks of the Hanshui River.

Because the terrain there is very good, there are no hidden reefs and shoals for a long distance, which is suitable for ships to dock.

Therefore, the nearby people built many trestle bridges there, allowing passing ships to stop for rest and replenish supplies.

And Feng Laosi's boat was no exception.He had a lot of experience, got there before dark, went ashore to rest for the night, and left early the next morning.

Therefore, when Guo Yi went ashore to rest, he saw the desolate old river, which was very conspicuous against the green farmland on both sides.

Ever since, he asked Feng Lao Si, who was rocking the boat, to explain it to him without shame.

But Ye Huaiwu was so clear.

This made him take a second look, the gray hair and beard looked very out of tune with the not-so-old face.

This is a man with a story.

Make him want to drink a little.

But at this moment, the King of Chu suddenly said excitedly: "The sun is still early and it's only noon. Why don't we go over and have a look?"

Uh... My own proprietor, how could you think that every time you come out, you are the most honorable His Royal Highness the King of Chu!

Now that you have left Jiangling City, why are you still running so far?
In case of any accident, I just became a staff member with excellent benefits, so I lost it...

Where should I go to reason?

Seeing him hesitate, the king of Chu didn't think too much about it. He was in high spirits now, so he urged him a little eagerly, "There happens to be my cavalry guard here, so let's ride to Xiliangdu. Guo Erlang, will you know?" horse riding?"

will not!

Never learned!
Although, Yu Nai is one of the six arts of a gentleman.

But that was already a long time ago... People today have already forgotten it, and they just talk about it.

Even archery has become a playful throwing pot, let alone riding a horse.

I'm afraid it's those frail scholars who can't even draw a bow, let alone mount a horse!
Of course, including him.

However, just as he was about to say no, there was a pleasant system sound.

　Thank you Yushi for the monthly ticket reward!

　　Boss atmosphere!Carefree!
　　In other words, the last time I received a monthly pass was half a month ago, sad Pacific Ocean!
