King of Song

Chapter 94 Shen Kuo
Lin Zhao entered Hangzhou City with mixed feelings!

Although the emperor issued a secret edict, as long as someone is interested, seeing Lin Zhao's experience, it is inevitable to have some speculations.

So in fact, Zhao Xu's secret edict is not secret!
Thinking about it at the beginning, many people will definitely target themselves, and it is necessary to be on guard, and there must be a lot of people deliberately finding fault. Lin Zhao was mentally prepared early in the morning.

All in all, the trip to Hangzhou was not destined to be easy. Lin Zhao just felt tricky, but not afraid.After all, with the secret edict in hand, it means that the emperor has full support behind him, and he will have more confidence in his actions!

Whether Hangzhou is a paradise on earth or a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, you have to make a breakthrough!
In the past few days, Lin Zhao took a closer look and found out that the construction system of Shibo drivers is really chaotic.At first, it was handed over to the local management, and the prefect was concurrently in charge. Later, there were cases where the transfer envoy was directly responsible.If so, the level is really not low!

However, after Zhao Xu ascended the throne, he reformed slightly and set up the post of promotion officer to directly manage, and the grade was not very high.It seems that it is only tentatively designated as the eighth grade, that's right!It's the eighth grade...
It was just a transfer at the same level, and there was no demotion. Lin Zhao couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the news!
No matter what, when you arrive in Hangzhou, you must first pay a visit to the magistrates and get to know many of your superiors!In the Northern Song Dynasty's local administrative system, the most important ones were Zhizhou, Tongju, and transshipment envoys...

In the early years of Xining's Hangzhou officialdom, it was rather strange. The magistrates of the prefecture were changed in turn, and few of them stayed for a long time. This phenomenon is really strange.

The transshipment envoy of the Liangzhe Road has returned to Beijing to report on his duties, but I haven't seen him!Hangzhou Tongpan is an old man in his 60s. He has recently suffered a serious illness and has resigned from the court. It is estimated that he will have to be replaced soon.

As for Zheng Xie, Zhizhou, he just met Lin Zhao and said a few words.

Zheng Xie was originally a scholar of the Imperial Academy and a member of the Kaifeng government. First, he offended many people because of his admonitions and comments on courtiers. Recently, he was sent to Hangzhou in disguise because he opposed Wang Anshi's proposition and spoke too fiercely.

Now it's all right, Lin Zhao will inevitably be implicated.No way, who made him have a close relationship with Wang Anshi, and he has a strong imprint of the Xinxue Party on his body?

It seems that Zheng Xie's tolerance is average, so if you don't embarrass him, indirect revenge is not bad.It is purely extravagant to expect people to be kind and pleasant!
As a result, Lin Zhao's life in Hangzhou will be even more difficult.Coupled with the old enmity between Zhao Zhongshan and Chen Qi, Lin Zhao can be said to be besieged on all sides, the enemy of all arrows!

Lin Zhao couldn't help sighing: "Officials, you're so dishonest!"Throwing me into this place of tigers and wolves alone, without even sending me some helpers, is really unjust.

Although he has a heavy responsibility, Lin Zhao is very clear that the most important thing in the initial stage is to gain a firm foothold in Hangzhou, and then proceed step by step after understanding the situation.

The moment they entered the city, it already had the effect of scaring the snake away.The next thing you should do is to do it in a low-key manner, dormant on standby, and then slowly plot to lure the snake out of the hole.

Although many people felt as if they were facing an enemy because of Lin Zhao's arrival, no one stepped forward to make things difficult for him.Chen Qi was still worried about his son's recklessness, so naturally he didn't dare to act rashly.

On the one hand, Zhao Zhongye had some disdain for Lin Zhao because of his habitual self-confidence.On the other hand, it is for low-key work. Sometimes, it is not a good thing to give people a bad reputation when they meet.

In this way, Hangzhou is still calm and calm for the time being, the clouds are calm and the wind is light!

Of course, it is impossible for a group of wolves to keep their own place. In order to comfort his slightly disappointed younger brother, Zhao Zhongye felt that it was necessary to make trouble for Lin Zhao at an appropriate time.At the same time, let's try the depth of this Lin Dongyang, what kind of ability does he have, he dares to be so arrogant.

No one was looking for faults, and no one else was looking for faults, so Lin Zhao was naturally happy to be at ease.Winter has just passed, and the sea monsoon is still dominated by northerly winds, which is not conducive to sailing northward.After March, when the southeast wind blows, the number of overseas trade ships will gradually increase.

As for the Shibosi Yamen, most of them are petty officials with no rank.No matter who is in charge, just obediently obey orders, so it will be done quickly.Lin Zhao took this opportunity to wander around and visit famous places!

His girlfriend in the previous life kept saying that she wanted to see the Ten Scenic Spots of West Lake, but it was a pity that she couldn't make it. Lin Zhao deeply regretted it.Now that I have the opportunity to come to Hangzhou and visit the West Lake, it can be regarded as making up for a little regret!

However, due to the change of time and space and the relationship between seasons, the ten scenic spots of West Lake that were gradually formed in the Southern Song Dynasty cannot be fully seen.Su Shi has not yet become an official in Hangzhou, so there will naturally be no spring dawn on Su Causeway.Watching Fish in the Flower Harbor and the Moon Reflected in Three Pools are also unique to later generations.

There are also autumn moons in Pinghu Lake and remnant snow on broken bridges. Because of the seasons, we have no chance to see them.As for watching the sunset at Leifeng, it is still possible to listen to the evening bell at Nanping.

Although the Su Causeway has not yet appeared, there is still a Baisha Causeway in the shade of green poplars.In the Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi dredged the West Lake in Hangzhou, and the Bai Causeway built is still there.

As Lin Zhao walked along, it was almost the beginning of February, which is equivalent to March in the Gregorian calendar. The green trees around the lake had begun to sprout new buds, and some flowers were already budding.

Several early warblers compete for warm trees, and someone's new swallows peck at the spring mud, probably this is the scene!Walking through the broken bridge, you can see the lake water is like a mirror, sparkling, combined with Nanping Mountain in the distance, the lake and mountains are so pleasant.No wonder later generations say that there is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below, and Hangzhou is beautiful above the West Lake.

It’s pleasant to stay here, Lin Zhao couldn’t help but speculate with a smile, the warm wind made the tourists drunk, and mistakenly took Hangzhou as Bianzhou. Could it be that the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty were fascinated by the beauty of the West Lake?

In the distance on the other side is Nanping Mountain. The towering pagoda on the mountain is the famous Leifeng Pagoda. The sunset of Leifeng, one of the ten scenic spots of West Lake, comes from here.Of course, Leifeng Pagoda is more famous because of the popular "Legend of the White Snake"!
Lin Zhao didn't know if there was a white snake under the pagoda. Anyway, he was not as lucky as Xu Xian. Standing on the broken bridge, he never met a white lady...

Even a woman is rare, when Lin Zhao shook his head and sighed, a middle-aged man caught his attention!

I saw a middle-aged scribe squatting by the lake from time to time, picking up the sand and observing it, sniffing it lightly, and then observing the surrounding mountains and terrain, and then burst out laughing.

"West Lake is not just a lake, it used to be the sea. This is the real vicissitudes of life!"

A young man in his teens and 20s followed him with a blank expression and asked, "Uncle, what are you talking about? The West Lake is obviously a lake, so where is the sea?"

The middle-aged scribe explained: "West Lake is now a lake, but in the early years it wasn't...it was a sea!"

"How can the sea become a lake?"

"It's because the Han Dynasty built the seawalls from Baoshi Mountain to Wansongling, plus years of sediment work..."

"The work of mud and sand?"

"Yes, the land around Suzhou and Hangzhou may be formed by the alluvial sediment of the big river..."

"Alluvial sediment?" Seeing the young man scratching his head, he was completely puzzled.Seeing this, Lin Zhao couldn't help laughing. How could he not understand such a simple knowledge of geography?

Lin Zhao said casually with a smile, "Alluvial plain!"

"Oh?" The middle-aged scribe turned around abruptly, he couldn't help being a little surprised, and asked, "Does your lord know this?"

Nonsense, could it be that the geography class was wasted!Lin Zhao said with a smile: "The big river comes from the mountains upstream, and the river carries a lot of sediment. Because the upstream is steep and the water flows fast, the sediment never sinks and silts up. When it reaches the downstream, it is flat and fertile, and the river flows quickly. The self-heating slows down, so the silt mixed with it is deposited, and it accumulates more and more, and after a long time, land is formed..."

"That's right, it's exactly this truth. I've thought about it for a long time before I understand it. I really admire the truth!" The middle-aged scribe looked at Lin Zhao in amazement.

The young man didn't seem to understand why, and said: "If this is the case, the sediment will accumulate the most at the place where it enters the sea. After a long time, the estuary will become higher and higher, and it will be completely blocked?"

"No, because there is a deflection force of the earth's rotation! The northern hemisphere...uh, with the movement of the earth, there will be a force to the right, which will make the water flow to the right. If you don't believe it, go to the mouth of the big river. The water flow speed on the right bank Quickly, the river channel was scoured and became deeper and deeper. Because of the slow flow on the left bank, the sediment settled and gradually silted up, which is the reason.”

"Not bad, not bad!" The middle-aged scribe almost flashed his eyes, and exclaimed in admiration: "This son is right, and the problem that has been troubling me for a long time finally has a clue, but if you dare to ask your lord, the direction of this turn What is power? Can you explain it?"

"This, the force of the earth's rotation..." Lin Zhao really didn't know how to explain it in the ancient times when he believed in the theory of round heaven and earth!

The middle-aged scholar only said that Lin Zhao was unwilling to talk about it because he was unfamiliar, so he immediately smiled and said, "I, Shen Kuo, don't know how your honor is."
call? "

"I'm going to Lin Zhao..." Lin Zhao suddenly realized when he was speaking, what's his name?
"Your name is Shen Kuo?"

"You are Lin Dongyang?"

The two looked at each other in unison, shocked!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Leifeng Pagoda is located in front of Jingci Temple under Rihui Peak, Nanping Mountain, on the south bank of West Lake, Hangzhou.Later, on the [-]th birthday of Wuyue King Qian Hongchu, he drank Song Taizong's birthday wine and died suddenly, leaving a period of misty suspicion and speculation.

The state of Wu and Yue came to an end. Perhaps the Song Dynasty deliberately downplayed the influence of the Qian family on the Liangzhe area, and the Huangfei Pagoda was renamed.Because it was built on the northward extension of Nanping Mountain, it was named Leifeng Pagoda.After the sun sets, the pagoda and the sunset, together with the mountains and lush trees, reflect the lake water, and the scenery is very beautiful.

At this moment, a man about 30 years old stood on the top of the tower, staring at the broken bridge in the distance, silent.After a while, footsteps sounded behind him, and a man who looked like an attendant came over, bowed and said, "Young Master, Zhao Xu from Song Guan's family sent a young man named Lin Zhao to Hangzhou!"

"Lin Zhao?"

"Yes, this person is only about 20 years old, but the commotion in Bianjing last year was not small!"

"Did Zhao Zongyong's family react?"

"No?"

"Hey, which song did the uncles and nephews of the Zhao family sing? Hmph!" The man snorted coldly and ordered, "Keep an eye on them and report any news in time!"

"Yes!"

　Little Snail House had a power outage again, I couldn't take it anymore, I was about to go crazy!Take a taxi to my friend, this code word is updated, it is still a bit late to hurry up, sorry!It will be relatively free for a period of time in the future, and Sanwen will go all out to update the codewords.In addition, due to the needs of the plot, the appearance time and place of some characters may be slightly adjusted, such as Zheng Xie, hope to understand!
