Kangxi went up the embankment of the Yellow River, and Yuzhu followed him in the procession.
When Yuzhu saw the appearance of the embankment clearly, he felt a chill in his heart.
What is in front of Yuzhu is a pure earth embankment. It can be seen that it is a large embankment made of rammed earth.
To be honest, earthen embankments for flood control will definitely not be able to stop major floods.
Large floods breaking the embankments are the norm in this era.
Yuzhu is not an ordinary bureaucrat. He is the first person responsible for the reinforcement of embankments. He does not dare to know everything about flood control, at least he knows more than 90% of it.
Kangxi walked and watched, and asked Sertu, the prefect of Dezhou, from time to time.
According to Sertu's answer, Yuzhu also understood. The flood prevention methods of this era already include filling straw bags and throwing stones.
However, both the government and the people generally have no idea of guarding against the surge of tuberculosis.
When the earthen embankment was breached, excluding shoddy work that cut corners, it was basically caused by a piping surge inside the earthen embankment after it had been soaked in floods for a long time, causing the collapse and breach.
Under the condition that the technical level is very poor and it is impossible to have a reinforced concrete embankment, the only effective method is to use intensive manpower and carry out a net-type watch.
Kangxi asked very detailed questions, and Sertu also answered in a very organized manner, obviously well prepared.
However, limited by the times, the two of them really wanted to prevent floods, but they couldn't find the right way.
Yuzhu stood on the edge of the embankment, looking far into the distance.
Good guy, the earth embankment is ridiculously high, almost flush with the city wall not far away.
Well, the hanging river is still an earth embankment, it’s very difficult to handle!
Yuzhu's suggestion received strong support from Kangxi. He repeatedly told Sertu that before the autumn floods came, more people must be mobilized, more straw bags, shovels and hoes should be prepared, and net inspections should be carried out day and night on the embankment.
The large team stayed in Texas for five days before getting back on the road.
Just because Sertu was very good at getting things done, he sent two stunning Yangzhou thin horses to Kangxi.
Kangxi had Yangzhou Skinny Horse by his side, and the poor old eighteen was forgotten.
However, Lao Shiba followed Yuzhu and was having so much fun that he forgot about Shu.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs brought many skilled craftsmen, and Yuzhu asked the craftsmen to make a deck of playing cards.
Lao Shiba's brain is very similar to that of Cao Chong. He is a quick learner and mastered the method of fighting landlords in just one hour.
Yuzhu has plenty of banknotes, and Lao Ba is not short of money to spend. However, Lao Ba's Haha Pearls, although their families are relatively wealthy, cannot afford to gamble with too much chips.
Anyway, it was just for fun, so Yuzhu came up with a bad idea and stuck small notes on his face.
Regardless of whether it was a landlord who was being fought against or a long-term worker who was being fought against, he would always have a sticker on his face.
However, after Lao Shiba lost, no one dared to stick a note on his face.
Yuzhu would not be polite to Lao Shiba, nor would he tolerate him at all.
When Lao Ba lost a game, Yu Zhu drooled on the note and put it on his face.
Yuzhu lost, so Lao Shiba did the same thing, got wet with saliva, and slapped the note on his forehead.
As a result, when Liang Jiugong arrived, the faces of Lao Shiba and Yu Zhu were all covered with small notes.
"Master Shiba, the Emperor misses you, it's time to go back." Liang Jiugong Zhaqian saluted and respectfully invited Lao Shiba to see Kangxi.
Who would have thought that Lao Shiba shook his head and said, "Go tell Khan Ama that cousin Dazhu and I are fine together, and we won't go back."
Liang Jiugong couldn't help but look at Yuzhu, wanting to ask Yuzhu for help so that he wouldn't get slapped on the butt.
Among the eunuchs around Kangxi, even the most favored Liang Jiugong was far less powerful than one-fifth of Li Lianying.
Liang Jiugong and Wei Zhu were able to intimidate foreign ministers mainly through deception.
This is actually roughly the same routine as He Zhongtang.
He Zhongtang was very good at figuring out the emperor's intentions, and he could see through Qianlong's thoughts.
After the offending official came to the door, He Zhongtang actually did not go to Qianlong to intercede. However, whether Qianlong's treatment method was severe or light was based on He Zhongtang's prediction.
All the crimes committed by the ministers were perfectly settled by He Zhongtang.
In this way, what He Zhongtang is doing is a big business that is completely risk-free and extremely profitable.
Not only has the momentum increased, but the number of believers has also skyrocketed countless times.
Liang Jiugong had trouble with Yuzhu several times, and Yuzhu always used a small black book to remember it for him.
However, Yuzhu's principle of punishing people is always not to take action lightly. Once he does, he must deal with it until there is no chance for him to turn around.
In fact, this is also a common principle in official circles.
Only a fool will always grab his favorite's pigtails. Not only will he not be able to bite him off, but he will also be in great misfortune.
In order to confuse Liang Jiugong, Yuzhu helped him speak.
"Master Shiba, you should go and accompany the emperor. Come back, I will show you some new things." It was easy for Yuzhu to deal with Lao Shiba.
To put it bluntly, all the gadgets Yuzhu "invented" are new things that Lao Ba has never heard of.
"Okay." Lao Shiba threw down the playing cards in his hand, took off the note on his face, and followed Liang Jiugong.
However, when Lao Shiba was leaving, Yuzhu deliberately did not remind him of one thing.
As a result, when Yuzhu was called by Kangxi, he saw that the old emperor's face was covered with small notes.
"Idiot, what did you teach Lao Shiba to be like?" Kangxi angrily scolded Yuzhu.
Yuzhu leaned over and said with a smile: "Old man, Master Shiba is also very filial and wants to have more fun with you."
To be honest, Wei Zhu doesn't accept anyone but Yu Zhu's ability to tell lies with open eyes.
It was obviously the eighteenth old man who pestered Kangxi to no avail, so the old emperor especially doted on the naughty little Yao'er.
When it comes to Yuzhu's mouth, it becomes like a little boy showing filial piety. This is too confusing.
"Khan Ama, whoever you ask for is not allowed to pick off the note." Lao Shiba relied on his favor and insisted on not allowing Kangxi to pick up the note.
Kangxi was hugged by Lao Ba's thigh, and his whole body was so soft that he could no longer care about the jade pillar.
Yuzhu sighed secretly. As the saying goes, a tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds.
However, after Kangxi deposed the prince, his treatment of the prince was chilling.
According to historical records, in order to prevent the prince from contacting the outside world, the Xian'an Palace where he was imprisoned was sealed. Only a small hole was left on the door to facilitate passing things in.
Whoever dares to open the door will have his head.
This is called wanting to live if you love, and wanting to die if you hate!
If it were not for the impediment of his posthumous reputation, Kangxi would definitely have the intention to kill the prince.
When the father and son had enough trouble, Kangxi remembered Yuzhu and praised: "After Lao Shiba followed you, he laughed much more than before."
Yuzhu quickly said humbly: "That's because the Eighteenth Master thinks highly of me, and I just showed a little bit of filial piety."
Taking credit but not being arrogant is a long-term solution.
The most typical negative example is Xu You.
In the Battle of Guandu, Xu You defected to Cao Cao and proposed a sneak attack on Wuchao, giving Cao Cao a great victory.
However, Xu You was extremely arrogant and dared to call him "Hang" and speak lies no matter what the situation was.
Once, Xu You went out of the east gate of Yecheng and said to his neighbors: "Without me, this family cannot enter this gate."
Someone reported it to Cao Cao, so Xu You was taken into custody and eventually killed.
No matter how young Lao Shiba is, he is still the emperor's biological son, and Yu Zhu must be respected.
Kangxi felt comfortable and ordered Yuzhu to lead Lao Shiba and go play.
Yuzhu followed the old rules and laid out the carpet. He first led Lao Ba on the seesaw and then on the slide for a long time. Finally, Yu Zhu pushed the wooden pole behind the three-wheeled stroller, teasing Lao Ba.
The laughter didn’t stop.
When Lao Ba was tired from playing, Yuzhu personally supervised the palace maids and eunuchs and helped Lao Ba change his clothes.
The eighteenth-year-old in history died young due to sudden illness, so Yuzhu must take precautions in advance.
In fact, Lao Shiba's two biological brothers, Lao Fifteen and Lao Sixteen, are both in the big team.
However, Kangxi did not allow Lao Shiba to play with his serious brothers. The hidden connotation here is quite intriguing.
Yuzhu, Lao Fifteen and Lao Sixteen were just acquaintances at most, so he didn't bother to delve into the reason.
Anyway, as long as Kangxi is willing to hand over Lao Shiba to Yuzhu to take care of him, Yuzhu must take care of him safely.
Kangxi said that he was not afraid of throwing Lao Shiba. Yuzhu also went in with the left ear and out with the right ear, just pretending not to hear.
If Lao Shiba really makes any mistakes in Yuzhu's hands, hehe, Yuzhu will definitely not be able to take it away.
Now, the relationship between Yuzhu and Lao Ba is extremely delicate.
Yuzhu is not a teacher, nor is he an ordinary playmate. He also has the power to kill Lao Shiba's Haha Pearl. The relationship is extremely special.
If we insist on breaking up the relationship, it will be very similar to the unrestrained relationship between cousins.
Don't look at Yuzhu playing with Lao Shiba, but he won't touch anything that goes into his mouth, whether it's tea, water, snacks, etc.
To be honest, the poisons available these days are extremely limited.
Poisons such as crane crown red and oleander are all just mentioned by novelists.
However, Yuzhu understands better than anyone that there are still poisonous substances such as poisonous mushrooms, poison and arsenic.
The cause of death of Lao Shiba in history was either due to accidentally eating poisonous mushrooms or due to acute gastrointestinal discomfort. In short, it was all related to eating.
Just because Yuzhu doesn't touch his food doesn't mean that he doesn't care about Lao Shiba's food.
He deliberately called several of Lao Shiba's haha beads in front of him, and warned him very seriously: "Master Shiba is still young and his intestines and stomach are young, so he must not eat randomly. You guys must watch carefully.
, if there is a slight delay, don’t blame me for disowning my relatives."
"Hey." Haha Zhuzi are all carefully selected talents in the family. If they make a big mistake, the whole family will suffer.
Just like that, during the entire southern tour, Lao Shiba, who was actually six years old but not seven years old, basically followed Yuzhu, playing happily.
Kangxi also asked people about the situation in private, and everyone was full of praise for Yuzhu's careful care of the Eighteenth Master.
