Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 62 smooth
"How can it be impossible? For a month, I am still afraid that Mr. Xiaolang is a novice. Although he is smart, he is unfamiliar, so he set a little more time."

Su Tong smiled and held the tray, and came to exchange tea for the guests.

Fang Ziming smiled all over his face, and boasted fiercely, what kind of little lady is gentle and gentle, what kind of little lady is cute and well-behaved, what kind of little lady is smart and smart at first glance, and so on.

Fang Shou rolled his eyes and gritted his teeth, "If you talk nonsense, you know how to blow it!"

Su Tong didn't say much, and made an inviting gesture: "Why don't I come and give a demonstration to Xiao Langjun first?"

Fang Shou ignored it with a stern face, Fang Ziming was very interested, and stared at him, Fang Shou had no choice but to get up obediently with his own father.

Su Tong grabbed a piece of white paper, and took Fang Ziming to walk around the Zhuangzi in Zhouzhi County in the back mountain. While walking, he wrote and drew at the same time. It was a supplementary method and an auxiliary line. He just walked around like this , Zhuangzi includes the small fields by the river and the fields on the corners of the mountains, all of which are clearly calculated.

Fang Shou's eyes straightened.

Su Tong casually folded the white paper and put it away, and said with a smile: "My lord, is one month enough?"

Fang Shou was tongue-tied, and finally didn't say that there was not enough time.

His father, Fang Ziming, smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed. The more he looked at Su Tong, the more he was satisfied. He was happy for a while, and ran to Su Wencheng to make a promise that he would contribute money and efforts to build the weir. As long as it was helpful to Rugao County, Su Wencheng would Just open your mouth.

Su Wencheng sighed greatly, her daughter's fate must be particularly good, the Wang family!You know, at that time, he almost broke his legs in order to help the victims, and a group of rich merchants were reluctant to pay, but now because of his daughter, a well-known grain merchant happily volunteered to pay !

What the Su family paid was nothing more than Su Tong's promise to donate to Fang Shou a book on arithmetic enlightenment that he wrote for his younger brother.

Before Fang Shou finished counting the fields, Hanhaiyan finally resumed work. I don't know what Hu Lingyi wrote in the memorial, but the result was good anyway.

Zhou Zhixian and Su Wencheng were overjoyed. Those in the yamen who spoke sarcastically about this matter all restrained their arrogance. Husbands suffer.

But this time it was unexpected, and the construction work went very smoothly.

At least in Rugao County, the construction speed of the entire big weir is nearly four times faster than before, and the cost of manpower and material resources is much less.It's hard not to go well, after all, the preparations made in advance this time are too sufficient, even the model has been made, and all difficulties have been considered.

Moreover, Su Tong gave his father lessons in advance and gave him some simple overall planning. Although it is simple, he is not very skilled in using it, but compared to other people in the yamen who don't understand these people at all, he looks much better. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

At the end of the repair, Zhou Zhixian simply handed over the supervision work to Su Wencheng, and he was fully responsible.

Don't think it's just a county master, it's also an official from the ninth rank.

Later, people talked about the ninth-rank sesame official. In fact, the ninth-rank is not low. Generally speaking, to seek an official, you may start from the ninth-rank, or the ninth-rank. Su Wencheng was not selected. He is a scholar. Now Just be the master book, and when he is selected, even if he doesn't take the Jinshi exam, he will be at least the eighth grade.

Moreover, being an official at this time also depends on qualifications. He has this experience, which will be very beneficial for future promotions.

Su Wencheng is obviously very competent, and he brought his daughter who traveled through the plug-in to help, except that he was in a hurry for a while due to lack of experience. Of course, even if he was in a hurry, he was more efficient than before. Later, he got used to it. I didn't feel very busy at all. Compared with the old Master Sun who was exhausted and made frequent mistakes, it was simply a heaven and an earth.

He divides the project, and each part has a dedicated person in charge, and the responsibility is assigned to the person. Whoever does it well will be rewarded, and whoever makes a mistake will be punished. In this way, the responsibility is clear, and everyone knows how to contribute.

Not only is it fast and efficient, but it also saves money.

When building the weir before, I always felt that the money allocated by the household department was not enough, even if it was saved, but this time I didn’t feel so much. After more than half of the weir was repaired, the money was not used much, which is normal. The labor costs in the Song Dynasty were very high. Even if the victims were asked to work, they still had to pay a part of their wages, and the cost was not small. However, after Su Wencheng’s scheduling and arrangement, less useless work was done, and the manpower consumption was relatively low. , The time is short, and the labor cost saved will be a lot.

You know it’s not a problem if the money can’t be spent all the time. The county magistrate just took out some spare money and erected a monument in front of Dayan, leaving the names of all those who have contributed to Dayan on it, and built a shrine to worship it. Tablets of those who died.

In the whole of Taizhou, Rugao County has the longest sea weir and the most difficult construction, but the completion speed is the fastest, and the loss of personnel is the smallest. There are only two servants who accidentally sprained their ankles. not dead.

Su Wencheng listened to his daughter's words, the safety work is done well, and there is a special person in charge. Usually, doing this kind of work will inevitably kill a few servants. Willing to do some physical work is because of fear of danger.

The project in Rugao County went so smoothly that even Zhang Lun, the magistrate of Taizhou, was alarmed. Zhang Lun personally took people to Rugao County to inspect the progress.

The more I looked, the more surprised I was. When I asked, it turned out that the person who led everything turned out to be a scholar who hadn't won the exam. Zhang Lun was even more surprised, and took the initiative to go to the construction site to see Su Wencheng.

I have to say that Su Wencheng's appearance is still very good, with a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, which belongs to the kind of appearance that is very suitable for being an official.Moreover, when talking, he is simple and honest, without any arrogance and arrogance, but also very modest, which is really easy to make people feel good.

Zhang Zhizhou carefully reviewed the progress of Hanhaiyan in Rugao County and was very satisfied. After returning, he even asked other counties to send people to learn from Rugao County's experience.

Zhou Zhixian was very happy, and felt that Su Wencheng didn't take it seriously because he showed his big face. The main reason was that he was too busy to have time to think wildly, and Zhang Zhizhou was really approachable and had no official authority at all. Characteristic of most officials of the era.

The common people in this era are not as afraid of being an official as they were in the Ming and Qing Dynasties in later generations.

A year passed in a hurry, and Hanhai Weir was finally completed smoothly.
