Chapter 206 Worry
Manbao and Bai Shanbao both turned their heads and glared at him, wanting to beat him up, but the gentleman was present, and both of them were so smart that they didn't do anything.
Mr. Zhuang came to his senses and looked at the carefree three children, he couldn't help but sigh.
Manbao asked with concern, "Sir, what's wrong with you?"
Mr. Zhuang looked at her for a long time, and after a while of silence, he said, "The Minjiang River has broken its dam."
"Where is the Minjiang River?"
After a moment of thought, Mr. Zhuang spread out a large piece of paper, attracted the three disciples to his eyes, and took the pen to draw the picture, "Minjiang is above Yizhou..."
Although the children are still young, Mr. Zhuang occasionally talks about geography. Since it is about geography, it must start from the local area.
For example, Qili Village is Baimaguan Town, and then Luojiang County is Luojiang County, which is under the jurisdiction of Mianzhou, Jiannan Road, and Jiannan Road is located in Yizhou.
So except for the distant capital where the emperor and his father were in the distance, Yizhou is at the top of Qili Village.
As for how far Yizhou is from Qili Village, in Mr. Zhuang's words, it takes one day to ride a horse, and set off before dawn, and maybe you can enter the city when the city gate is closed.
If you walk, it will take about three or four days. The journey is calculated according to the adults. If Manbao walks with his little arms and legs, he will probably have to walk for seven or eight days.
It is said that it is a very prosperous and prosperous place, with too many people to count and countless delicious foods.
Of course, this is said to be what Mr. Zhuang and Mr. Bai said, because only these two people in the entire village have been to Yizhou, and the farthest place to reach Lao Zhoutou is Luojiang County, so he cannot tell Manbao any stories about Yizhou.
The Minjiang River is the largest river in Yizhou, and even the entire Jiannan Road. Mr. Zhuang drew a water flow diagram on paper and sighed: "The Minjiang River flows rapidly, especially in the Yulei Mountain area. Because of its large slope, the water flow is very turbulent. In the pre-Qin period, the Minjiang River would always have floods, and the below of Yizhou were all suffering from creatures, so Shu is also known as a marina."
Not only Manbao and Bai Shanbao, but even Bai Erlang became serious and listened with relish.
Mr. Zhuang pondered for a moment, considering that they were still young, they could only tell them as stories, "Until the Qin Dynasty, Li Bing, the prefect of Shu County, built the Jianwei Weiwei Wei on the Minjiang River, and the situation improved."
Then Mr. Zhuang told them about Jianweiyan. He used to go to officialdom, and he was from Shu. He not only read related books, but also went to read Jianweiyan during his study tour.
Even now, he still admires the people who built this project more than 900 years ago.
Manbao and Bai Shanbao have visited the construction of water conservancy projects, but that is the simplest. If you open a ditch, the most complex one is the embankment built last year. However, compared with the Jinwei Weiwei, it is not worth mentioning.
In order to divert the Minjiang River, Li Bing specially built Jindi and Baopingkou to divert the Minjiang River water, and built flat sinks and Feishayan flood control and irrigation. Since then, there have been fewer floods and fewer droughts in the downstream.
Quanyin Jianwei Weiwei not only prevents flood control, but also ensures the irrigation of thousands of hectares of fertile fields downstream.
As a gentleman who once had ideals and ambitions and had always paid attention to the court's policies, Mr. Zhuang was like a fire at this time, because: "The last time the Great Hong in Yizhou was still the seventeenth year of Dade, it has only been eight years since then, and in the fifth year of Dazhen, Feishayan was overhauled, only two years..."
Mr. Zhuang had a lot to say, but he didn't know who he said to, so he could only say it to three little babies who didn't understand.
I don’t know if Bai Erlang understood Bai Shanbao. Anyway, he understood the subtext of his husband. His eyes shone brightly and he looked at Man Bao.
Manbao's eyes were also shiny, and he also turned his head to look at Bai Shanbao.
After Mr. Zhuang finished speaking, more than an hour passed. The servants of the Bai family came to invite the husband to dinner. Mr. Bai was waiting for him to drink in the front hall.
Manbao and his friends ate lunch in the study, and they still had half an hour to rest in the middle. If Mr. Bai and Mr. Zhuang had a longer drink and chat, they might have an hour or two.
The small stoves have been open these days, and the afternoon class time is very erratic.
As soon as Mr. Zhuang left, the servants brought the meals for the three children. Just like those in the school, in order not to let them pick on food, the rice and vegetables were cooked, each with a bowl of soup, but each person had an extra bowl of soup.
Manbao didn't think there was anything wrong with having dinner at Bai's house. She dragged her bowl to Bai Shanbao and whispered to him, "Is it like what is said in the storybook?"
Manbao has figured out the usage of the system. In addition to wandering around the mall, his favorite thing is to exchange storybooks with Keke to read.
Some books require a lot of points, but some books are very few. Manbao’s favorite is the kind of books that are highly story-oriented and require few points.
Not only did she read it herself, she would also lend it to Bai Shanbao. Anyway, their books were always read in exchange. So Bai Shanbao understood what Manbao said.
Bai Shanbao nodded fiercely and whispered: "There must be a corrupt official."
"What a bad guy!"
Shiraishiro sat diagonally opposite them, trying hard to listen with his ears, but he could not hear anything. However, he firmly believed that they were talking bad things about him, so he put chopsticks on the table and asked angrily, "Are you scolding me?"
The two people who were discussing happily raised their heads to look at him, and at the same time they twitched, one of them said, "Are you an official?"
"Do you have the ability to be a bad official?"
In the eyes of the two, being an official requires great ability, while being a bad official requires greater ability, because the bad people in the book, especially bad officials, are usually very smart, well, they are smarter than good officials.
Of course, the bad officials will still fail in the end, but Manbao and Bai Shanbao have done statistics, so many good officials need to defeat the other party. Usually, seven good people can defeat one bad person.
So in the little minds of two children, bad officials are usually smarter than good officials.
So the two of them looked at Shirakiro pickyly and said, "Maybe you can't even be a good official."
Bai Shanbao: "If you want to take an exam as an official, I think you may not even be an official unless you study hard from now on."
Bai Erlang widened his eyes and asked, "What are you talking about good and bad officials? Did I say I want to be an official?"
"We are talking about the breaking of the Minjiang River, which may be natural disasters and man-made disasters." Manbao pointed to the dark heavenly way outside: "Natural disasters are it, man-made disasters are bad officials."
Bai Shanbao said: "I don't know who the bad official is."
Manbao analyzed based on his "year-old" experience, "Generally speaking, bad officials are high-ranking officials. It is definitely the leader of the high-ranking officials to repair water conservancy projects, so the governor of Yizhou?"
Bai Shanbao: "There are also the governor of Jiannan Road."
Manbao: "There are also the king of Yizhou."
Bai Erlang was confused, "What are you talking about?"
Why can't he understand a word?
