The production and sale of salt contains huge profits and is something that is truly related to people's livelihood. The production types of salt are divided into three types: sea salt, well salt and pond salt. Tianjin Changlu Salt Field belongs to sea salt, and the production methods include fried and sun drying.

"Water is like a person's heart seeking profit... In the past, Gun used the blocking method and Dayu used the division method, which became the famous name of Dayu for controlling floods... Those who want to control water first must first understand the nature of water: they want to divide it and divide it, they want to block it and block it, they want to combine it and combine it, and they want to flow it directly and flow... This is what is called taking advantage of the situation and adapting to local conditions..."

Liu Dongsheng, the imperial envoy of Tianjin Prefecture, read Jia Cong's theory of water control word by word. In terms of theory, he understood nature and followed the laws of nature. The laws should not be reversed, so he could only discover it and use it. Jia Cong explained in detail the role of binding water to attack sand, remote dikes, and reducing dams.

Liu Dongsheng inspected the Jifu, and the river channel was to be supervised sooner or later, especially Jia Cong’s two items, which were in line with Liu Dongsheng’s intention: the river army system and the departure responsibility system of the river governing officials.

He was a Jinshi who was well-read and proficient in art. He had seen it in history books in the river management project of the Ming Dynasty, corruption was rampant, and corvee labor was plagued.

Jia Cong's Hejian system was implemented with the fortress, Zhafu and Zhafu, and the imperial court allocated funds and reimbursed by the treasury. There is no war in the Shun Dynasty, so it is no problem to bear the treasury. Jia Cong proposed that local battalions serve as Zhafu with strong labor force, and Pan-regional civilians serve as Zhafu, and the former gives one tael of silver and one tael of silver, while the latter is one tael of one tael of silver. Although what Wanping is implementing is also allocated by the imperial court, the county government is completely entrusted by corvee labor. The river workers can't get anything, and the work enthusiasm can be imagined.

It is certain that the imperial court's allocation of funds and materials were purchased. Some of them were embezzled layer by layer by layer by layer by layer by official. There is no doubt that the engineering embezzlement ran through the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Not to mention how important the official departure responsibility system is to the stability of the embankment.

"Like the fire, the wise look like the foolish, Jia Cong..." Liu Dongsheng murmured to himself: "Jia Zili..."

Liu Dongsheng stood up and walked around the hall: "The Yongding River is far from the flooding of the Yellow River, especially in Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu, Anhui... Jia Cong's planning is more suitable for the Yellow River... The one from Henan is about to enter Beijing... If he sees it, he will definitely be amazed."

"Qin Ye, Qin Ye, I'm a little jealous of you. If you have this student, what else can you ask for?"

Looking through the second letter, it was a tactful request for a salt quotation. With the planning of river management, Liu Dongsheng did not hesitate much and wrote a letter to Tianjin Salt Censor. In less than a few days, a legal salt quotation was passed to Wanping through the post station.

Salt indices are business licenses for selling salt. Who is given to them is not given to them? Many salt inspectors have a relationship with salt merchants. Moreover, if Jia Cong only has one, Liu Dongsheng thinks he is too low-key.

...

A salt quotation from Dashun can sell one stone of salt per month, and Kuang Liuhe can hire someone to accept it with the porter of Changlu Salt Field. Since then, Kuang Liuhe's study and life will no longer be a problem.

As for scholars doing business, there is no need to worry. They are still private households and just hire people to manage them. The entire scholar class has this kind of interests and no one will attack them.

Jia Cong was even less worried that Kuang Liuhe was an ungrateful wolf. He had already found out that Kuang Liuhe was loyal and loyal, and he would repay his kindness and be filial to his mother.

County Magistrate Fan adopted his suggestion of "building dikes to bind water and using water to attack sand". The work of cleaning mud and sand is proceeding in an orderly manner. However, Fan Lin ignored Jia Cong's proposal to reduce dams and reduce dams. Because the chief clerk came to report that the project funds could not support such a huge project, County Magistrate Fan had no choice but to give up. Even so, Fan Lin also had a lot of eyes on Jia Cong. These reasonable, practical and practical suggestions not only relieved his fear, but also greatly increased his political achievements. The officials' examination next year is expected to be promoted. County Magistrate Fan made up his mind: "As long as Jia Cong's eight-part essay can convince the public, I will take him as the leader!"

200,000 taels of funding, the county's silt is no more than 30 miles, and the widest is only five meters, but the reduction dam cannot be built, which lays hidden dangers. This world... Jia Cong pondered in the inn, and being angry is useless. Corruption, as long as there are officials, there is no shortage of this thing...

In the remote dike, reducing dams is very important. At least it can prevent floods from happening for many years. However, if you are as clear as water, it is inevitable that the officials will be as slippery as oil! The yamen front faces south, don’t come in if you have any reason or not!

After long-term exchanges with the township Lijia and the Ministry of Works, Jia Cong had a detailed understanding of the river management technology of this era. Lime and clay have been used in large quantities, clay is produced in Gu'an, and the production technology of official kilns is relatively exquisite. From this point of view, cement can be made, but this time is not suitable for him.

The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated. For example, the construction of embankments, length, width and height, can create reasonable proportions, and people can also measure the cross-sectional area of ​​the river, the speed of the water flow, obtain the water level, and then estimate the water storage capacity of the embankments... This is the wisdom of the working people.

...

In the Wanping County Government Office, the more diligent Fan Lin was asking about the case. The county magistrate and the chief clerk sat on both sides, and the clerk was recorded in the lower right corner.

On both sides of the lobby, the soap clerks of the soap clerks were wearing soap clothes and holding water and fire sticks in their hands. His face was serious. No matter how bold the people came in, they would be shocked by their majesty. What's more, there were many torture instruments on the right.

After dealing with several civil disputes and just about to leave, Luo Xiucai stepped in, and his servants rushed in, as if he had entered a state of no one.

When a scholar saw the county magistrate, he didn't have to kneel down, but no matter how he said, the friendship between teachers and students should be at least polite. Luo Xiucai's actions were very rude.

He Xiangfei's bamboo fan knocked on the big case: "County Master! Why did he adopt the strategy of Jia Cong and a little boy, but he didn't listen to Luo's words?"

The soap clerks on both sides looked at each other and looked at the county magistrate. Fan Lin's face turned red. How could he ask in court? Luo Xiucai didn't take the county magistrate seriously at all!

"Does this official have to ask your consent to do things?" Fan Lin looked squinting. Even if he discussed, he had to be implicit and tactful in private... Luo Guoqi's move was too disrespectful to him.

On the right side of the case, there is a small bamboo tube with dozens of order signs inside. If you throw these small order signs, you can arrest people, beat people, and punish them. Fan Lin picked up one of them and scolded: "Luo Guoqi, disturbing the court and despising the majesty of the court. Do you think this official dare not arrest you?"

The county magistrate and the chief clerk pressed one after another: "County Master, think twice!"

"Catch me? Come on!" Luo Guoqi smiled gently, walked up with white soap boots, and rushed away the county magistrate. Regardless of the red face of the county magistrate, he sat down and sat on an equal footing with the county magistrate, and roared: "I don't care! The name of Luo Guoqi in Wanping must be! I have to have it! I have made efforts and engraved the inscriptions, and the name has been passed down through the ages. It is natural! Remember, Wanping's three-point land! I am the king's law! I am the law of heaven!"

Zaoli and the clerks bowed their heads one after another. The three masters made a fool of themselves, and they could not see the scandal. They were not leaving, nor were they staying...

The county magistrate and the chief clerk were very embarrassed and angry, but he did not dare to offend him. Magistrate Fan felt angry.

Seeing that no one refuted, Luo Guoqi looked a little better. What else should he seek for someone like him who is not short of wealth? It is to enjoy and reputation. After the successful management of the river in Wanping, he would build a river god temple. Those who have been engraved with merits will be remembered for generations, and Luo Guoqi will want this reputation.

"Just know the appearance, otherwise, my brother is qualified to be a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel Examination and does not want to lose his black hat. Listen to me obediently. That Jia Cong will not be able to pass the county exam next year. Be good... Hahaha..." Luo Guoqi brushed his sleeves and walked out of the county government with grace. He was very proud of Li Taibai's "laughing to the sky and going out, how could we be a weed man."

Magistrate Fan's pupils protruded from his eyes, exhaling like thunder, his hands trembled, and he knocked on the goblin: "Get out!!!"

The county magistrate, chief clerk, Zaoli, and the clerk were shocked and went back in disgrace.

County Magistrate Fan was like a volcano that was about to erupt. The disciples reported Jia Cong to ask for a meeting. When they came in, County Magistrate Fan was raining in his study: "How can the consul of the Hegong Department teach me how to embezzle me?"
