Chapter 45 Mengzhou Li Di

This account book is not calculated by the small business and sales club itself. When the time comes, it is necessary to distribute profits to those who join the company as recorded above. This is also the purpose of the consumer cooperative. The more money the members spend in this small business and sales club, the more profit they will get. Therefore, behind every transaction above, there is the signature of the buyer. How many people can write in the countryside? Signing is either a secret that no one can understand, or just draw a circle.

However, recently, there have been many transactions without signatures. No need to ask, there are more outsiders here, and those who do not join the club naturally do not need signatures, and they will not distribute profits.

After closing the account book, Xu Ping said to Sun Erlang: "You have been doing a lot better recently."

"What the official said is that many river-building people have come these days, and they are buying things from us!"

The small shopping mall serves their own people. The goods are genuine and never lack the shortage. Although there are not many goods, the Xiangjun who built the river still likes to visit here. Especially the wine, which is not mixed with water, and sells very quickly.

After asking some errands, Xu Ping left the small thatched hut. Xu Ping was still very satisfied with the current situation in Heyin after he left last time. At least now, the people here are doing well compared to before.

When he left the door, he saw two big baskets of pomegranates placed behind the door, with redness on his green skin and big, which was very cute. Xu Ping asked Sun Erlang: "Does this pomegranate be sold?"

"No, no, just put it there casually. If someone is thirsty, eat one!" Sun Erlang came out from under the counter and ran quickly to the pomegranate. "This is my local product, it is extremely sweet. Officials like it and take it away."

"How can I take your things at will? It's not easy for you to pick a basket of pomegranates."

Sun Erlang waved his hands repeatedly: "It's worthless! There are many things on the mountain behind. Just take some time to pick a few baskets. It's just that people from other places can't figure out how to go and don't know where it's delicious."

Xu Ping smiled and said, "It's easy to pick it up. You have worked hard to pick it back. Let's do this. I bought your two baskets here. Don't worry about how much money you have."

After saying that, Tan Hu ordered two people to carry the pomegranate behind the door and ask him to give the copper coins on his body to Sun Erlang.

Tan Hu touched his body, grabbed a handful of copper coins, put it on the counter, and said to Sun Erlang: "No matter how much, I only have so much cash on me, so I can get your pomegranate."

"Why don't you want so much? The official should take the money back quickly, and just treat the pomegranate as our filial piety to you!"

"Fair trading, where is there such words!"

As he said that, Xu Ping stepped out of the door and saw that Chen Yaozuo was already waiting there, so he went back to the Sanhuang Temple together.

When he arrived at the temple, Xu Ping said to Chen Yaozuo: "My husband, this is the case here, and it depends on the Princess in the future. I will set off to Mengzhou tomorrow, where there are some official duties. By the way, I need Li Shen to inspect the government affairs of Mengzhou. He will go with me to Mengzhou and come back to help my husband after finishing the work there."

"Longtu is so hurrying, I feel a little sad. Tonight I borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and I will hold a banquet to see you off in the Three Emperors Temple to comfort my hard work."

Xu Ping shook his head: "My husband, this is the place where Taoist sects are worshipped, and we are offering the Three Emperors. How can we make noise here?"

Chen Yaozuo laughed and said, "It's just a few rural firework Taoist priests who make a living here. Longtu really thinks they are masters of Taoism! Don't bother with them, we just need to eat our own. If the Three Emperors have spirits, how could they blame us who do things for the people? We should be relieved if we are here."

Seeing Xu Ping smiled and said, Chen Yaozuo said again: "I rarely go to Zhongnan Mountain to study. I have seen and heard a lot. There may be gods in this world, but I will never blame others for these worldly worlds. Dragons can rest assured."

What's wrong with Xu Ping? He kept a distance from the gods and Buddhas, but he didn't believe it in his heart, but he wouldn't deliberately offend him. As long as no one was making trouble through the affairs of ghosts and gods. Hearing Chen Yaozuo said that he learned about the resurrection of the resurrection when he was young, Xu Ping's heart moved and said to him: "There is a resurrection of the resurrection in Ruzhou. After resurrection, the Transportation Department is ready to send a call."

Chen Yaozuo sighed: "I have heard that when he was in Ruzhou, I sent someone to visit. Longtu and Zhong Shiheng were my old friend. I respected my face and treated him well."

"I naturally look up to him when my husband said this. This kind of man is mature and down-to-earth in his work. To be honest, he is a talented person. Now he is just a temporary distress, and he finally makes his name."

"I hope so."

That night, Chen Yaozuo held a farewell banquet for Xu Ping at the Sanhuang Temple, and invited several bureaucrats from Heyin County to drink until midnight before he was able to disperse.

The next morning, Xu Ping bid farewell to Chen Yaozuo and went to Mengzhou with Li Shen.

Walk along the south bank of the Yellow River until Gubodu.

The Yellow River swayed in front of Gubai Ridge, leaving a small river bay, connected to Feilongding in the east and Hulao Pass in the west. It is the smoothest place in the nearby river section and the ancient ferry that has been connected to both sides of the Yellow River for thousands of years. Fengling Ferry upstream of Sanmen and Gubai Ferry downstream of Baibo are both famous ferry crossings in the middle of the Yellow River. In the middle of this river, the mountains on both sides of the Yellow River stand together, which can be called a natural danger, and you can't find a place to cross the river.

After getting off his horse, standing on the beach at the ferry and looking around, Xu Ping said to Li Shen: "The reason why this place is named Gu Cypress is that it is said that there is a big cypress tree at the ferry. Emperor Gaozu of Han avoided the rain under the tree, and Emperor Taizong of Tang also avoided the rain under the tree, because this towering ancient cypress tree, this ferry is called Gu Cypress Ferry. Cen Shen once wrote a poem: "The lonely boat is facing Guangwu, and a bird returns to Chenggao." In that year, the shade of lonely cypress is the 'Ten Scenes of the Water'. The sea changes, and now there are shadows of ancient cypresses on both sides of the ferry? The Yellow River is below the Sanmen of Shaanxi Road. All the water flows smoothly, and it has been unrecognizable in a hundred years."

Lee Chan said: "Today, the sun is shining brightly, so we don't need to shelter from the rain, and it doesn't matter if the ancient cypress trees are gone."

Xu Ping smiled and nodded.

The Yellow River enters the mountains and valleys from the bottom of Shanzhou, and reaches Heqing County, Henan Prefecture, where Baibo Town is located, and the river channel becomes wider again. This section of the river channel starts from Sanmen of Shanzhou and down to Baibo. Because the river channel is particularly difficult and dangerous, the court specially set up the Sanmen of Baibo Transportation Envoy to manage it. In Xuping's previous life, this section of the Yellow River was a large reservoir, which diverted water and sand downstream.

Since we had to build a canal on the beach of the Yellow River, Xu Ping learned a little about the hydrological history of the Yellow River. From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, it was a relatively stable day for the Yellow River. The upper reaches of Yongzhou, Liangzhou, was lush with grass and there was not much mud and sand in the river. The ancient Yellow River channel in the lower reaches had not yet accumulated. Although it broke every three years, there were not many major floods in nearly a thousand times. In the late Tang and Five Dynasties, due to war, Guanzhong was destroyed, and the vegetation in the upper reaches was also destroyed due to years of logging. In addition to climate change, the mud and sand in the water suddenly increased. During the Five Dynasties, the lower reaches of the Yellow River were the most powerful place where the vassal states were invaded, and there was no remediation of the Yellow River, and there were many floods since then.

At this time, the accumulated problems are already profound, and it is extremely difficult to stabilize the Yellow River, so I can only take one step at a time.

Xu Ping also promoted the canals on Jingxi Road, and had to worry about floods, but he could not come up with a better way to uniformly manage the Yellow River. He could only carry out local rectification within his own ability.

After passing Gubai Ferry, I went to Wen County first and spent a night in the inn, and then I arrived outside Mengzhou City the next evening.

This time when we arrived in Mengzhou, Xu Ping performed his duties as a transfer envoy and inspected the place. According to the rules, he must live in an inn outside the city, and the officials in the city are not allowed to come out to greet him, and they cannot invite banquets.

After settling down in the inn, Xu Ping sent a public official to prepare a document and followed Li Shen into the city to meet the governor Li Di.

Before leaving, Xu Ping said to Li Shen: "You have met Mr. Li when you came to the city and brought relevant documents to the inn, especially this year's leap year book. Check the account and have your own public officials to do it. I have something to talk to you."

Li Shen knew that he was going to talk about the fifth-class household, so he agreed and took the public official into the city.

In the Mengzhou official office, Li Di read the documents sent by the public officials sent by Xu Ping, arranged for the record officers and the verdict to prepare for each other. He called Li Shen and said to him: "Prime Minister Tong, this time he went to Heyin, did Xianggong Chen make things difficult for you?"

"When I go back to my grandfather, Mr. Chen is just doing business, but there is nothing extra."

Li Di nodded: "This is the best way. The river is in our Mengzhou. You should have an idea in your heart and don't let Chen Yaozuo do it randomly. If you cause trouble, we will bear the trouble, but he will get the credit."

Li Chan replied respectfully: "Don't worry, my husband, please pay attention."

When Li Di was the prime minister, he was excluded by Lu Yijian. Chen Yaozuo was also a party of Lu Yijian. The two of them had never dealt with each other. Li Shen knew in his heart that he had to deal with it carefully. Both of them were veterans and did not dare to offend either.

After asking about Li Shen’s situation in Heyin, Li Di said again: “You went to Mengzhou with Xu Ping. He is now a transshipment officer. Check that we are here. Are there anything you say to you on the way?”

Li Shen said: "It's nothing, it's just that I've been asking about the water conditions of the Yellow River in the past two years, and I'm more worried about the flood."

Li Di snorted: "He is too busy with water. The Yellow River is flooded and cannot flood the West Jing Road. What are you worried about? There are no other things? He has done so many things as soon as he took office, so he won't just think about controlling the water."

"Ducao is afraid that the Luo River will flow into the Bian River, and the amount of water entering the Yellow River will be insufficient, resulting in silt and silt, causing floods above Guangwu Mountain. It is indeed a hidden danger for the Luo River water to enter the Bian River. As for other matters, Ducao still asks the fifth-class household system, urging the officials to hand over the documents on how to divide households and wait."
