Chapter 54 Ruo Ruoxue
"Stealing is old. Wang Huaying looked at Lei's jade with strangeness and was very large. It was almost impossible to detect it in his arms. It took only a while before someone could steal it?
"I remember it, it was those people."
"That group of people? Don't worry, say it slowly."
"Just when I was going to the toilet, I met a group of victims. They begged me. I didn't carry any broken silver, so they surrounded me and pulled and tugged with me. I couldn't punch and kick them, and I tangled them for a few times before I could get out."
The ministers were embarrassed when they heard this. After all, the folk customs in a place have a lot to do with their education. First, people robbed property and put out the fire, but now this incident happened again.
Liu Shun coughed dryly and said, "Captain Lei. Where did you encounter the group of victims, what do you look like?"
Wang Hua waved his hand and said, "The matter has passed. People are prepared. Now we will not get what we want. Instead, it will alarm the victims, which will not be worth the loss."
Li Guer glared at Lei Zhan fiercely. Then he looked at Wang Hua with regret and apologies on his face.
Wang Hua said to her softly: "Princess, don't worry, I have other ways."
He turned his head and said, "This matter has ended here for the time being. When you need your envoys in the future, I will send someone to notify you. Everyone, we should put the victims first, and this is my focus this time. Please go back."
The officials in Bianzhou are even more embarrassed, and they may not be able to solve the more complicated case, but it does not mean that they are very stupid. Wang Hua handed Yu to Lei Zhan during lunch, and not many people knew about it. Either there was a problem with a few guards standing next to him, or Lei Zhan himself had a problem. This possibility is extreme, or there was a problem with the officials he accompanied and revealed the news, which made someone send someone to pretend to be a disaster victim and stole Yu from Lei Zhan.
Wang Hua asked them to go back, does that mean?
They left one by one, but they were worried when they left.
Wang Hua said again: "Shangguan Zhaorong, Princess, you can go back and rest, or govern the victims, the prince, and Zhang Jiuling. Come with me."
Shangguan Xiaowan said: "Sir Wang, do you not even believe me and the princess?"
Wang Hua spread his hands: "Zhaorong, that's not the case. Solving the case is only one of the most important things, mainly the victims of the disaster, this is the top priority. What I said to the Bianzhou officials just now is not false. I want to go around with the prince and see if there is any way to catch the victims of the disaster. If we do the same thing,"
He pointed to the more than a hundred guards behind him and shook his head. This has not all arrived yet, otherwise there would be more guards. So many people were crowded together, not to comfort the victims, but to Zhaoyaozhuang. He couldn't see what Wang Hua wanted to see.
Shangguan Xiaowan then let go, but gave him a blank look, with a little anger in her eyes.
Shangguan Xiaowan made great contributions to the trip to Huazhou. After the night talk that night, Li Guer explained his doubts. Shangguan Xiaowan did not make excessive moves. Therefore, occasionally Shangguan Xiaowan became a fool, but Li Guer was not angry.
But in order to protect their safety, they still brought more than 20 guards to walk together, only wearing civilian clothes, but with weapons.
I went to the market first. Although the market in Luoyang is more prosperous than that in Bianzhou, because of its geographical location, Wang Hua still had no trace of his eyes after turning around. Seeing his expression, Zhang Jiuling said worriedly: "Sir Wang, have you come up with some small solutions?"
Wang Hua patted his shoulder and said: Xiaojiu. You have been thinking of any solution for so many days?"
Seeing him ignoring Li Chongjun's presence and still calling him Xiaojiu, Zhang Jiuling was helpless. Although this brother-in-law has a good character, he is sometimes reckless and impulsive, and sometimes he is tired.
But this is not a joke. He said solemnly: "Sir Wang, we are in office work. Private is private, and public is public. This sentence is what you said. Unlike Huazhou, Bianzhou has a lower terrain and many places are depressions. It takes longer to return to home. There are also disaster areas that are scattered and more difficult to manage. Autumn and winter are coming soon."
In fact, Huazhou may not be more boat-like than Bianzhou. This refers to the riverbed. The riverbed in Bianzhou is deeper and lower, and under the contrast, the terrain of Bianzhou is low-lying. However, the disaster in Bianzhou is indeed more difficult to deal with than Huazhou.
But Wang Hua listened and thoughtful.
He suddenly said, "Do you have a detailed map of Bianzhou?"
"Yes, in my inn." He could not live at the inn honestly than Wang Hua.
The group followed Zhang Jiuling to the inn. Zhang Jiuling took out the map of Bianzhou. Wang Hua looked at it for a while and rolled up the map. He said to them: "Let's go out of the city."
When they left the city again, there were victims outside the city living in front of the thatched huts. However, these thatched huts were built in rows, which was also a move by the Punishment of King Painting in Huazhou. The court allocated some supplies. So Zhang Jiazhen and Zhang Jiuling built a neat and solid temporary hut with the cooperation of Bianzhou officials.
Wang Hua found a little bit. The old farmer had wrinkles on his face and gray hair. Wang Hua asked him to find a stone to sit down and asked, "Old man, this year's Gui Geng?"
"Gui Geng dares not, I am sixty-two this year," said the old farmer in fear and fear.
"So your family has always lived in Bianzhou?"
"I have been here, my family is a good citizen, not a fugitive."
"It's just a fleeing house. I'm not talking about this. I asked the old man, you have always lived in Bianzhou. Do you know the situation in Bianzhou very well?
"I don't know, I just farm, I won't know anything else." The old farmer was even more worried. He also heard about the three coffins, and thought Wang Hua asked about the case.
"What I asked was about the land. Why are there wastelands in many places in Bianzhou?" Wang Hua said and expanded the map, pointing to a large area on the map and asked in an empty space. "I know this, it's alkaline land.
"Thank you, my uncle." Wang Hua stood up and took Li Chongjun and Zhang Jiuling back to the city.
Li Chongjun asked curiously: "You are leaving the city to ask this?"
"That's right, I actually have the answer in my mind. Just confirm it. Prince Xiaojiu, you should all look at the "Han Shu", which wrote a sentence in "Zhuozhi" that if there is irrigation, the lower limit of salt will be filled with silt and fertilizer, so the wheat will be planted with more rice, with a high field of five times and a low field of ten times. It can be seen that alkaline land has a long history. The situation in Bianzhou is better than the northwest, but it is worse than other nearby states. In fact, this alkaline land is saline-alkali land. There are two reasons for its formation. The first is the climate, which is mostly in the semi-dry early and dry early areas."
"Arid and semi-arid areas? Li Chongjun pointed to the endless disaster shed and asked, "Where did the flooding come from?"
"Prince, so I said that what I heard is worse than seeing, but what I see is not necessarily correct. Sometimes the eyes can deceive people. What is the reason for the full disaster in Bianzhou? How many times have the long rainy season happened in the Yellow River area? This is because the riverbed is high and the terrain in the dike is low. If the water is larger, it is easy to have full disasters. In fact, the main reason is the latter, which is different from the slander of the rainy season in Jiangnan. So what I am talking about is the climate. Such alkaline land, not only Bianzhou, but also in the pass. It is not my alarmist statement, if the people in the pass still live in such a dense manner. A large number of farming will be worse than the situation in Bianzhou after several years. But I will not care about this for now. I am talking about the alkaline land in Bianzhou."
"Overall, the precipitation in the Yellow River area is different from that in the north. It is as hot in summer and has a large evaporation. The water evaporates, and the salt dissolved in the water stays. This is only one aspect, and there is another reason, geographical conditions. I just said that this salt comes from a salt-containing water source, and the water flows to a low place. Originally, because the riverbed is high and the terrain of Bianzhou is low, it is easy to cause river water to seep. Because of the lack of water, people only irrigate but not drain when using arable land. This is more likely to turn the original good land into saline-alkali land. This is also the reason why the alkali land in Bianzhou is worse than other nearby states." As he said that, he pointed to the map again, which is not much different from the situation in later generations, mainly from Bianzhou to the east of Songzhou and Shangqiu, but it is not as serious as later.
But the two kilograms still didn't hear it. They knew about alkaline land. Not only did Henan Road, but also Guanzhong, and there were more in the Western Regions. But what does this have to do with the victims and fishing?
"You still remember the morning. After I chatted with the charity named Zhou Yong, I once went down the river bank. But I was immediately stopped by Liu Shun, the governor of Bianzhou."
Isn't it a kind heart, but an ulterior motive? Both of them thought in a daze.
"Actually, the article is on this alkaline land. Because of the flood, many alkaline lands are flooded. The first is that there is a layer of silt on it, turning the alkaline land into a semi-alkali land. The second flood also dilutes the salt of the alkaline land. Of course, this is not good news. We cannot discharge the flood from the dike immediately, and most places naturally evaporate because the flood once, the temporary silt makes the soil fertile, but it can make the soil more alkaline for a long time."
Such an explanation shocked the two of them. They had never heard of this explanation at all. At the same time, it also subverted Zhou Yong's statement.
"Of course this is a long process. The accumulation of days is not a serious effect by a flood. But what do you see temporarily? That is, large areas of alkaline land have changed from wasteland to cultivate land. However, because the silt is only a layer on the surface, the years for these alkaline lands to be cultivated are not long, maybe ten or eight years, maybe three or five years. Therefore, it cannot be summarized in the court. In order to produce more grain under the jurisdiction, almost all these alkaline lands are being cultivated for the people for free.
But what's wrong? Can the people farm for free?"
After hearing this, everyone has learned some tricks.
Many articles can be made on this, and of course the proceeds also belong to the income of Bianzhou officials. Therefore, Liu Shun was afraid that Wang Hua would realize this problem, so he subconsciously ran down the river bank and persuaded Wang Hua to come up.
Zhang Jiuling asked, "But I still don't understand. You said that the time for these alkaline lands to be reclaimed for too long, even the imperial court took a deaf ear to these alkaline lands. Most semi-alkali lands have their own land. What can we do?"
"If you think of this, you are wrong. You forgot a crop. Although the yield on alkaline land will decrease, there are still some harvests, especially after flooding. The alkaline land is not impossible to cure." In fact, the biggest cure is to take advantage of the current desertification of the Yellow River, which is not serious. From the upstream to Guanzhong, it will reduce the cultivation of the people and the damage to vegetation. That is impossible. You should know that Guanzhong is now or is the most densely populated place in the world. Will the court agree to move the people to Kuan Township? On the contrary, in order to protect the safety of the capital, people have been moved to Guanzhong many times to live.
Therefore, Wang Hua said the method of treating symptoms: "Alkali land is mainly formed by accumulation of salt. Therefore, as long as Li Si, you will be Huai Yuan Chengliang just said that the original formation of alkaline land is accumulated. It is accumulated by small parts of bamboo. Only by cultivating water conservancy, so that the water in the soil flows. At the same time, the downward water flow in the soil is greater than the upward water flow, resulting in soil desalination. People are also encouraged to use fermented crop fertilizers, and use the acidity of fermented fertilizers to directly improve alkaline land."
The latter one made the two of them not understand very well. Wang Hua would not explain that he was called worthwhile.
"Of course, we are not cutting off the financial paths of Bianzhou officials. If Bianzhou becomes more prosperous, they will also need a little later than political achievements. Also, if I say that I can turn alkaline land into fertile land, at least a batch of financial resources can be obtained, and then use this financial resources to send them to the people to build water conservancy. This gives them a fishing path. Because of the construction of water conservancy and further improving alkaline land, this effect will complement each other and form a virtuous cycle. Also, because some places are low-lying. A few places exist in swamp form. With money and labor, they can be surrounded and formed to form fertile land. This fertile land can produce new financial resources. Although doing so is not worth the cost of the loss in normal times, or even not enough labor costs. But what are we doing now? Let the victims have a way to live. If money and materials are distributed directly to them, it will develop a kind of laziness."
Wang Hua did not say that people are ** and there is no end to it. If they develop this kind of laziness, it will be even more terrible. In the future, if the court cannot satisfy them, it will easily accumulate into greater resentment. Therefore, giving them fishing is not to give them materials and money, but to let them have something to do and have a salary to get. This is the best way to stability.
"I understand what you mean. In this way, because you have obtained a large amount of fertile land, the court can get some taxes. Also, if you build water conservancy, you can ask the court to allocate funds. The court will pay a fee, plus the newly obtained land, or give it to the court to appease the poor, or operate it. Get a sum of money through "donation." It can also be used as a salary, raising the victims to participate in the water conservancy and embankment project, which is equivalent to helping the victims.
"The prince's words are exactly what I want
But the three of them knew that this operation was good. But there were still many details, and the officials in Bianzhou must be persuaded to cooperate. Unless Wang Hua is like Huazhou, it will shake the entire Bianzhou officialdom. But the officials in Bianzhou are not at fault. What courage does Wang Hua have to play like Huazhou? He has no right!
The three of them walked back and discussed the matter along the way.
But after entering the city, a monk suddenly stopped them and came to Wang Hua and said, "This is Wang Hua's donor. Our abbot Huiyun invites donor.
Wang Hua was stunned. Although his current official position is not the highest level in the Tang Dynasty, his influence is no longer inferior to that of some prime ministers. If a monk asked him, he would invite him?
He turned around and looked at Zhang Jiuling. He had been in Bianzhou for many days. He must have heard of this coquettish monk Huiyun.
Zhang Jiuling understood, and he said in Wang Hua's ear: "Huiyun is a famous monk. He came to Bianzhou from the south a few years ago and used the money he raised to buy the garden of Zhengjing, a former Xizhou Sima, and wanted to build a temple here. However, due to financial resources, the construction was delayed. Now he has only built a small temple. In order to achieve his wish, Master Huiyun is still recruiting him. However, this master is proficient in Buddhist scriptures and has great Buddhism. He is very prestigious in Bianzhou."
"Oh." Wang Hua smiled slightly after hearing this. No matter whether he built a temple or not, his courage was commendable. But Wang Hua did not remember that this temple was the origin of the later Guo Temple in the Song Dynasty and Xiangguo Temple.
Wang Hua became interested, and of course he finished his thoughts and felt comfortable, so he said to the little monk: "Little Master leads the way."
After walking for a while, he came to a small temple. It was surrounded by an empty garden, so the scenery was very beautiful. Wang Hua walked into the Zen room under the guidance of the little monk. He saw a surprised scene. A middle-aged and elderly monk looked amiable. But in front of him was a girl with a round face and a pointed chin, which immediately made her face look softer. She had bangs on her forehead and a pair of big eyes below, which were very lively. She was wearing a purple long skirt, which made her look even more delicate.
Seeing Wang Hua, the monk stood up, bowed and said, "I have seen Wang Duzhu
The calm attitude and unyielding and unyielding attitude also made Wang Hua feel good again. He also bowed back and gave him a favor. But he also paid attention to the beautiful girl. When he saw him, the girl had a little curious eyes. But she was not like ordinary people, because of his identity, and was at a loss.
Wang Hua said, "What's the point of asking me to come?"
"That's right, this donor Ruruxue had a chat with me today.
Ruoruxue? What a strange name, but Ruo's surname is even more unpopular.
Wang Hua smiled slightly at Rururuxue, but Ruruxue stuck out her tongue, looking very cute.
Huiyun continued: "Today she discussed Buddhism with me and asked me why the Buddha was so generous to compassion, why there were many traitors in the world and the powerful people. If we talk about retribution, why did the traitor Xuzi still reside in the powerful people, and Sun resided in the future."
This question was asked well. Wang Hua looked at the girl again and thought to himself, although it was asked well, why did the girl ask this question? Then he asked, "So how did Master ** answer?"
Chapter completed!
