Life is actually about constantly overcoming one difficulty after another. Sometimes it is unavoidable to consider one thing and lose the other. You can only do it in the way that is most beneficial to you after weighing it.
Before Li Bing and his sons built the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, the Chengdu Plain, now known as the "Land of Abundance", was a place prone to severe floods and droughts in ancient times. In the famous poem "The Road to Shu is Difficult", Li Bai said, "The silkworms and the fishtails were the founding of the country."
The sighs and misery of "being at a loss", "people are like fish and turtles" are true portrayals of that era.
The Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project makes full use of the local geographical conditions of high in the northwest and low in the southeast. According to the special terrain, water veins, and water potential at the mouth of the river, it takes advantage of the situation to divert water without dams, gravity irrigation, and dikes, diverts water, releases floods, and discharges sand.
Flow control is interdependent and forms a system together, ensuring that the comprehensive benefits of flood control, irrigation, water transportation and social water use are fully exerted. After the completion of Dujiangyan, the Chengdu Plain became thousands of miles of fertile land.
"Tianfu"
As a scholar in Shu, if you don't know the role of Dujiangyan in water conservancy, you will be laughed at. This is the pride of people in Shu, and it is also the backbone of scholars in Shu. Today's water conservancy officials in the Song Dynasty, among them
Sixty percent of them came from Shu. Li Bing's achievements not only shine through the ages, but also benefited the scholars in Shu.
The surging Minjiang River has been a scourge on the Sichuan Plain for tens of thousands of years. Only after humans opened up wisdom did Li Bing and his sons turn the harm into a treasure. Wisdom is undoubtedly the supreme magic weapon for humans to defeat nature and transform nature.
Xiaolin himself felt extremely lacking in wisdom. Amid the argument between Hua Niang and Yun Zheng, he reluctantly withdrew because he found that he could not understand what they were saying at all.
Why do Xixia people definitely buy silk? Why do you need a horse to sell a jar of wine? Why did the Xixia people’s war horses suddenly become worthless after the advent of styrax? Why are silks sold in the mainland not very expensive?
When it comes to Xixia, the price will become sky-high? When can a piece of silk be exchanged for a horse and two sheep?
"Don't go to Yinxinghe City to join in the fun. You look like a dumpling. If you go there, you will be snatched away by the dog Li Yuanhao. That guy is a famous pervert. You can't go!"
Regardless of Hua Niang's pleas, Yun Zheng was unwilling to take her to Yinxinghe City to make a fortune, but he reluctantly agreed to her request to become a shareholder. As a male chauvinist, Yun Zheng hated using honey traps and other activities.
Those Xixia people who have been supported by Han merchants for a long time are as shrewd as monkeys. Beauty trap? I guess Xixia people like it the most. If the beauty who swallows you does not help you, there is nothing you can do.
"Just wait in Chengdu Mansion and wait for the money. Xiaolin and I will go there. If possible, I would even like to play the role of a robber. In fact, I like to be a robber the most. This is the real moneyless business.
Xiao Lin, if we continue to be bandits in Xixia, we won’t violate the laws of the Song Dynasty, right?”
When Yun Zheng turned around, he found that Xiao Lin, who had been listening very seriously just now, had disappeared.
"I like the process of making money, not the money!" Hua Niang said righteously.
"Give me all your money. You don't need it. I need money urgently. No amount is enough!" Yun Zheng naturally stretched out his hand and asked Hua Niang for money. A person who likes the process of struggle does not need to take so much money.
Xiao Lin leaned under the tree house and looked blankly at the blue sky. There was still no sign of rain in Chengdu Prefecture. Although clear water began to flow in the river ditch, if it didn't rain, the fields in the high places were still dry.
Being friends with smart people is a disadvantage, if not for other reasons. Others can understand some jokes, but it is a big disadvantage if you don't understand the meaning, because Yunzheng and Hua Niang started laughing in the room again.
Xiaolin's ears were very sharp. Even though he was ten feet away, he could still vaguely hear them talking about the story of cows and camels. He didn't know what was so funny about it. Camels use their humps to store water for drinking. Cows have four stomachs.
Eating vigorously during the day and then vomiting the food in the stomach to regurgitate it at night? These are not funny and have nothing to do with Li Yuanhao. Why do the two of them laugh like crazy people when Hua Niang says the three words "Li Yuanhao"?
Xiao Lin now fully realized one thing. It was a mistake for his senior brother to let him monitor Yun Zheng. He did not have the ability to monitor him. If he just monitored Yun Zheng's whereabouts, it would be very simple, but if he wanted to monitor what was going on in his head,
What, he found himself powerless to do.
Xiaolin's hands began to shake. These hands could tear apart tigers and leopards, draw a strong bow, and kill enemies outside the country. But today, he felt deeply helpless. He could not reach a place where force could reach him.
It seems useless.
"What we say is simple, but in fact it's all flowers in the mirror and moon in the water. I don't have the ability to turn these things into reality. Unless Xiaolin helps me, not only Xiaolin, but also Xanthium and the others, Han Niu and Monkey are needed.
, only if we form a whole can we make money in Silver Star and City. In the final analysis, my execution ability is not enough."
Yun Zheng's flowers came out from the room. Xiao Lin, who had been feeling sorry for himself just now, suddenly felt much better. Master said that life is destined to be useful in this world, no matter it is a good person or a bad person. This passage
Xiaolin felt that he had almost forgotten it, but he didn't expect it to appear clearly in his mind at this time.
"It's still useful," Xiao Lin laughed at himself. He raised his head again and saw Su Shi lying on the platform of the tree house, looking down at him. Xiao Lin's face turned red. When his mind was lost, he actually forgot to be alert.
instinct.
"Can you teach us Qing Gong?" Su Shi looked at Xiao Lin expectantly,
"What is Qing Gong? Who told you?"
"Yun Er said it. He said that your senior brother's method of jumping over the wall and ridge when leaving home was Qinggong. Can you teach me?" Su Shi climbed down awkwardly from the wooden house and continued to ask.
Xiao Lin shook his head and said: "Follow Yun Da's skills carefully. When you learn the skills well, you will find that martial arts is a very useless skill."
"If you don't want to teach, just say so. Why are you insulting martial arts? The relaxation of civil and martial arts is the law of nature. Just like the yin and yang of heaven and earth, the sun and moon alternate, both are indispensable. The Book of Changes says that if a single yang does not arise, a solitary yin will not grow.
This is a wise saying. We in the Song Dynasty were bullied because there were too few people who knew martial arts and too many people who were literate. If there were 10,000 heroes like you and formed an army, it would be easy to defeat the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Old view.
In ancient times, Huo Qubing led an army of 10,000 and set foot on Yanzhi Mountain to cut rocks as a memorial. What a hero. But there is no such hero in the world today."
Hearing what Su Shi said, Xiao Lin immediately started thinking about taking the exam and said with a smile: "Can't Di Hanchen be considered a hero?" He was brave and good at fighting. He served as a vanguard many times and led his soldiers to seize the battle and conquer Jintang City successively.
, Youzhou and other places burned tens of thousands of Xixia grain and grass, "collected 2,300 of their accounts and 5,700 of their livestock", and ordered soldiers to build cities in the strategically important Qiaozi Valley, Zhao'an, Fenglin, Xinzhai, Dalang
All the forts "are the key points of the thieves".
In every battle, he wears disheveled hair, wears a bronze mask, leads the way, and is invincible. Di Qing has made numerous military exploits and is famous throughout the frontier. Can such a person not be regarded as a hero?"
Di Qing's achievements were widely publicized by the Song Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, the name "General Mian Nirvana" was truly a household name. Su Shi should have heard of his name.
Unexpectedly, Su Shi shook his head and said: "Yunda said, if you put Di Qing at the border, he will be an invincible tiger. It's a pity that the court tied a tiger with an iron chain and put it at the door of the house as a watchdog. Such a watchdog
The habitual raised hair and bared teeth will definitely make the owner dislike it, so the time is not far away when it will be killed and eaten as dog meat.
If it is a dragon, it should stir up the waves in the sea; if it is a tiger, it should roar on the high ground and make all beasts tremble; if it is a guard dog, its bark will only attract a beating stick. His fate has been determined and cannot be changed."
Xiao Lin frowned and said displeasedly: "Di Hanchen is still serving as a regiment training envoy in Huizhou and the deputy commander of the Ma Army. He is used as a watchdog there. This kid is talking nonsense."
Su Shi clapped his hands and laughed: "Shouldn't such a fierce general be sent to Yan'an Road to fight against Xixia, or transferred to Shanxi to guard against the Liao invasion? Why is it placed in Huizhou? You will understand if you look at where Huizhou is. Then
It's on the seaside. What use can a strong general do if he goes to a place of comfort? Is it to catch thieves?"
The depression that had just dissipated in Xiao Lin's chest was aroused again by Su Shi's words. This boy was right. The tiger Di Qing was indeed placed in Wenwen Township.
"Su Shi must not talk nonsense. How can you, a child with a yellow mouth, talk nonsense about important matters in the court? Di Hanchen has made great contributions to the country, and there is nothing wrong with enjoying a few years of peace and happiness now."
Seeing Su Shi arguing with Xiao Lin, Yun Zheng quickly came out and scolded him.
"What's there to scold? What the child said is true. Wenwen Township is the Tomb of Heroes. As long as that hero doesn't go to the battlefield for a few years, he won't fight anymore. Liu Bei said back then that he had a bad temper after not fighting for three years.
, a team coach will become useless after only a few years." Hua Niang hugged Su Shi and retorted angrily. After finishing the rebuttal, she quietly encouraged Su Shi to tell the truth like this in the future, tell the truth and be a good man.
"Are you trying to kill this kid? His tutoring is inherently upright, and his future is destined to be very difficult. I plan to teach him to be more diplomatic, so that he will avoid a lot of disasters. You encourage him like this.
, wouldn’t it require him to open his mouth and say anything? If so, wouldn’t he become the most taboo loudmouth in the officialdom? Once he becomes such a person, no matter how talented he is, the future road will be extremely bumpy.
And it will attract the jealousy of villains.
I don’t ask people around me to make meritorious deeds, I just want them to have a long and long life. The children of the Yun family don’t want to be heroes or critics. As long as everyone can live a happy life, I will be satisfied.” (To be continued)
