Chapter 2188 The Flower War (Ninety Six)

The whip law and the stipulations that the peasants should work in their fields no longer required corvee labor, but in fact they were still recruiting corvees. The bearers who carried the sedan chair, the delivery men at the post station, etc. were all corvees. The prosperity of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal began in the Sui Dynasty, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty

Conscripting civilian husbands was also considered by later generations to be a form of tyranny.

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal can be divided into seven sections, namely the Jiangnan Canal, the Li Canal, the Middle Canal, the Lu Canal, the South Canal, the North Canal, and the Tonghui River. Yellow rivers often carry a large amount of silt and sand. Pan Jixun, an expert in river management in the late Ming Dynasty

The method of "confining water to attack sand" was proposed and a large-scale management of the Yellow River was carried out. In other words, the rapid flow of the river was used to wash away the sand, but this required very strong dams. Although the water in Qingjiangpu

It is clear, but there is still silt at the bottom of the river. Although the silt can be used as fertilizer, it is difficult to recruit civilians, and the mouth of the river is shallow. Once the sediment is silted, it will hinder the grain ships and it is impossible to clear it frequently. Fortunately, Qingjiangpu

Being close to Hongze Lake, water from the lake can be diverted eastward to wash out the river.

The former Guangzhou Navy Admiral was actually incompetent for such a highly professional job as repairing rivers. In fact, although the previous Governor of Nanhe was dismissed, he still remained in office, mainly because his mother passed away and returned to Ding You. If you want to

To complete a water conservancy project, everyone must work together, which means that the new governor's work does not involve highly professional content. His subordinates are also very clear about this. Regarding the river channel issues, they will write to Qiantang to inquire about the Nanhe River in Dingyou.

Governor.

The governors in various places originally had the function of managing rivers. Later, this function was assigned to the governors of rivers. At the same time, the governors also had the responsibility of regulating the refugees. When the conscripted corvees could not meet the workload demand of the rivers, they would be supplemented by temporary recruitment.

The difference. Fortunately, the White Lotus cultists who sneaked into the civil society last time burned a warehouse for building a dam, not a granary. When the Gaoyou grain and Xu stamping case occurred, the governor of Nanhe was stripped of his crown and exiled to XJ. Even if he wanted to

He invented the method of "confining water to attack sand" to wash away the sediment, and he made great contributions to water conservancy projects.

There are rivers that need the assistance of governors, and there are also governors that need assistance from rivers. In the 55th year of Qianlong's reign, Min Eyuan was ostracized and resigned because he did not flatter Heshen. His political achievements have always been the best in AH Province, but he was only punished after the accident.

To refute, of course, it was also because Qianlong was still alive at the time, and after considering all these conditions, he resigned and returned to his hometown.

Even if Emperor Jiaqing does not engage in literary inquisition like Qianlong, writing a memorial for the admiral is not as easy as writing a memorial for An. Traditional Chinese medicine requires listening, hearing and asking, and writing memorials also requires feeling the pulse of the emperor to know where his "disease" is.

I made a mistake and suddenly changed from the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou to the governor of Fujian.

Of course, it is not possible for a newcomer to know so much just by asking around. This is why it is so important to win over the squire.

Officials were replaced like water, but they, the squires, had been living in the local area and were very familiar with the local conditions. The admiral had always treated the squires well. In short, he planned to hold a "deer croaking banquet".

The traditional Deer Ming Banquet is held for candidates who have passed the provincial examination. It is named after the Deer Ming Chapter of "The Book of Songs: Xiaoya" will be sung at the banquet.

It's past May, so it's not the right time to hold a deer croaking feast, but you can eat venison at any time. As for the croaking thing, it's not the deer, but the horn trumpet, which can make a "yo yo" deer croaking sound.

Mulan's paddocks are played at the beginning of the hunt.

There were still many natural forests left in the south of the Yangtze River during the Qing Dynasty, but hunting required prey, and it was hard to say whether there were deer in the forest.

Anyway, it probably means going on an outing while hunting. The key is that these squires all ride in sedans. How many of them can ride horses?

Later, I changed it to going to Ciyun Temple to "sweep the pagoda".

There is a Dharma King Pagoda in Ciyun Temple, which was built by Emperor Kangxi in memory of Dajue Zen Master Yulin. There is a legend about this Zen master. The national master was also a monk in his previous life, but he wrote good calligraphy. Once a female donor

She took a fancy to his good character and thought he was a handsome monk, so she thought of a way to donate a monk's robe to every monk in the temple. The premise is that the monk must come to get it in person and compare it with the Buddhist name.

, because the monks' robes were all the same, in order to show the difference, she embroidered the monk's name on each monk's robe.

As a result, on that day, the master from the previous life left. The woman was frightened by his ugly appearance, which made the monk very ashamed. At this time, he heard that when he worshiped the Medicine Master Glazed Light Buddha, he could get a glazed appearance and body.

, so I prayed to Buddha every day. Later, the lady felt that it was a bit too much, so she gave me some silver coins, but she stopped coming in person.

This is a legend. Just like Tang Sanzang in Journey to the West, he was so handsome that he attracted various female fairies. Tang Monk stopped eating meat and wanted to marry him. But when Tang Sanzang saw them, they were all unmoved and his Buddha's heart remained unchanged.

, until he met the king of the daughter country.

He was confused in front of her, and in order to get rid of her entanglement, he blurted out "if there is fate in the next life." Buddhism believes in reincarnation, but there will be no reincarnation after becoming a Buddha, unless he comes again with the wish to be a sentient being in the six realms.

The form can save all sentient beings, but this is not called entering reincarnation, because this driving force is no longer karma. How can sentient beings be saved? They will incarnate into something.

If any building is not repaired and cleaned, it will be as full of dust as the Golden Light Tower of Sai Sai Kingdom, and even become a nest of monsters.

There was originally a Buddha treasure on the top of the Golden Light Pagoda. It was covered with golden light and was always shrouded by auspicious clouds. However, after a bloody rain in the world, the golden light was no longer there. It turned out that it was stolen by the Hydra, the husband of the Halloween Princess. Finally, under the control of Sun Wukong,

After hard work, Erlang Shen and Erlang finally got rid of the Hydra and recovered the Buddha.

Zen Master Shenxiu once said: The body is like a bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror. Always brush it diligently to avoid dust.

Standing on the Guoshi Tower and Qingjiangpu Tower, you can climb up and see far away, but what you see is a different scenery. From the tower, you can see the bustling city, and from the upstairs, you can see the ships passing by on the Li Canal.

It was a good place to recite poems and compose poems. Nick, who couldn't even speak Chinese well, didn't go. He stayed at the Governor's Palace.

There is a rose garden in the Qingyan Garden. The roses blooming here are very different from those in France. While admiring the flowers, Nick collected those flowers to make "rose water". During the Song Dynasty, it was a "big food", that is, the Abbasid Empire once used it as a tribute.

Send it to the emperor.

The way to make rose perfume is very simple. At least Nick knew how to extract the essential oils from the flowers. When he was picking those flowers, he heard the sound of music.

He looked up at the sky to confirm that it was daytime. The last time he heard this kind of sad music in Faxing Temple, he met a strange monk and told him a story about the Forbidden City.

This time he followed the music again, and Wanning was still playing, but instead of playing Xiao, she played the guqin.

She played very seriously and did not notice Nick behind the rose bushes, and Nick did not disturb her.

When Wan Ning thought Nick couldn't speak Chinese, she once told him her thoughts. The bride was just a shadow and echo of the family, but Nick estimated that she would not say these words to him again now.

Even though Nick is "Yi", he is still a male and cannot live in the same house with her.

Unless he and Harlock said that he should not care about the morality of people in this country, but this kind of disregard for other people's feelings will definitely not last long.

If one day, Nick embarks on a journey again, will Wan Ning travel with him through the Middle East full of deserts and bandits?

Water is needed in the desert, but the water will quickly evaporate due to high temperature and dryness, especially in places like the Flame Mountains, which cannot retain water at all.

So he returned to his residence.

The fragrance in the Guandi Temple is very strong. This is the fragrance emitted by the pilgrims when they offer incense, but it is not a good spice. It smells spicy.

This reminded him of the tea fryers in Wuyi Mountain and the smoky iron pot. Then he put the newly picked roses on the table, left the note, and left the room.

He hoped that the young imam had translated the book, otherwise he really wanted to go to BJ to see if anyone else had translated the book. It would be too hard to wait like this.
