After the opening of the Yamen, a group of people led by Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Works, came to rebuild three courtyards for the Yun family. Lu Qingqing had even designed the designs and was waiting for the Ministry of Works to build them.
As a result, Yun Er strongly asked him to design this matter, and showed his drawings to his sister-in-law, saying that it would be fine to build it like this.
"No!" Lu Qingqing took one look at the drawings and became furious. If it was to build a house, anything could be done, but building a river at home would be too much. Who has a river in the shape of a triangle in their yard?
What's more, the river is still filled with mud!
"Xiao Yue, be obedient. Building such a river is a matter for the Ministry of Industry. We don't do it at home. The three courtyards in the south are prepared by my sister-in-law for you. You can get engaged in two years. My sister-in-law plans to
This is a separate courtyard. You can live here when you get married. If you like living with your elder brother and sister-in-law, that's it. If you don't like it, you can open a new door and build a wall here.
It would be great to have your own world. It is difficult to find such a good place in Tokyo."
Yun Er rolled his eyes and said: "It's not necessary. Anyway, I will marry a bacon in the future. I don't care about where I live. Our Yellow River survey has entered the experimental stage. Building a simulated river here is far more important than building a house."
Lu Qingqing had no choice but to ask for help from her husband, who was reading a book and pretending to be stupid: "Husband, Xiaoyue is a child at heart, so you don't care. In the future, the second master of the Yun family won't be able to get married in a good house. Let's see what he does.
Your backbone, when the time comes, people won’t say it was the second master’s idea, they will only say that you, the eldest brother, are too mean.”
Yun Da helplessly took away the book in front of his eyes and said to Yun Er with a smile: "Your sister-in-law is right, brother, my sister-in-law's task is to take good care of you. If you like to build models, then go build them on Zhuangzi, there is a place
Damn, you can repair it however you want, just forget about it at home! It’s really outrageous and uneconomical to create an ugly river."
Yun Er shook his head and said: "Brother, you don't know something. The reason why I want to build this model at home is to show it to everyone, especially the officials in the court. Not everyone has enough knowledge about this Yellow River."
Their vigilance must objectively and realistically put possible dangers in the Yellow River in front of them. Only in this way can they attract their attention.
It's better to put it on Zhuangzi, but it's inconvenient. Mr. Peng Li is old and can't withstand the bumps, and I still need to build a lot of information here. Zhuangzi is inconvenient, and I don't want to be far away from my eldest brother and sister-in-law.
land, because my main energy in the future will definitely be devoted to this."
When Yun Da heard what his brother said, he sat up straight and looked at him and said, "Have you found the goal of your struggle? Is it this river?"
Yun Er nodded and said: "Yes, brother, I have thought about it for a long time. At first, I just wanted to be a rice insect, hiding under your wings and eating and drinking for the rest of my life. Later, after being a dandy for a few days, I realized how boring it was.
One thing, so I wanted to find something to do, and found that training Huang He was a more challenging thing, so that’s it.”
Seeing that what his brother said to Chen Ken didn't seem to be a whim, Yunda said to Lu Qingqing: "Then let him repair it. A few yards are nothing, and our neighbor on the left will be in trouble soon. You stare at it
Just buy his family's house."
Seeing that her husband had already made a decision, Lu Qingqing naturally would not insist on it. When her husband said that the neighbor on the left was going to be unlucky, she couldn't help but become curious. She sat next to Yunda and said, "What happened to Gao Jixun, the governor of the Zhongwu Army? His family is also a general.
, they are the descendants of Gao Huaide, the general of my dynasty. I heard that the children in the family are pretty good, so why are they so unlucky?"
Yun Da asked Yun Er to sit in front of him and said: "The Gao family actually did not make any mistakes. They are just unlucky because they have too many children. Gao Jixun and his family have eleven brothers. The most famous one is Jixun.
Jixuan, Jizhong, Jimi, Jihe, Jilong and Jiyuan, there are five more who are not famous. Think about it. Eleven people have been focusing on reproducing their descendants for fifty years. What do you think of the population of their family?
how many?
The Cao family has a stick, the Shi family has a fool, the Pan family, and the Wang family are changing their families and preparing to transfer to the scribes. This is a way to protect themselves. The Gao family is practicing martial arts constantly, and their nephews and nephews are enough to form an army.
The army, if they planned to serve the Song Dynasty, it would be okay if more than a dozen nephews died. The emperor would at least appreciate the loyalty of his family, but their family would retreat whenever there was a war. Although there was an element of not wanting to be in the limelight.
, but the idea of preserving strength is too straightforward, so yesterday His Majesty asked me and Duke Di to draw up a new list of officers of the Zhongwu Army. He also asked us where to arrange the Zhongwu Army for review, and finally selected Hebei.
Hehe, the army there has just been reorganized by Han Qi, and it is well prepared and can be regarded as an army capable of fighting. His Majesty's choice of that place means that he will attack the Gao family.
Everyone else only pays attention to the gap left by the Gao family. My family only needs the three courtyards of the Gao family. In this way, we not only stand in line, but also do not offend the Gao family deeply. People in the army will not think that we have defected.
Civil servant, that’s a good idea.”
Lu Qingqing nodded as if she understood, but Yun Er frowned and said, "Is this considered a sin?"
Yunda nodded, picked up the book again and said, "Ask your sister-in-law to tell you the secrets here. She is very knowledgeable."
Lu Qingqing brought a fruit plate to the two brothers, gave each of them a pear and said: "The royal control of a big family is actually a long-term matter. It has never calmed down for thousands of years. The big families also know that they are actually
He is just a pig, and he knows that he cannot be too fat. Once the fat reaches the point of being slaughtered, the royal family will immediately take action, and there will be no mercy.
This was the case with the prime minister Zhao Pu in the early years. He was the prime minister who helped two generations of emperors. Did the emperor hesitate at all when he made his move? The other one was the prime minister Ding Wei, who was the smartest man in the world. I heard that he built the quilt.
When the fire destroyed the palace, the craftsmen were asked to fetch soil from the street because it was far away. Soon, a deep ditch appeared on the street. Then he introduced the water from the Bian River into the ditch, and the bamboo rafts moored on the Bian River were
, he introduced the materials for building the palace through the ditch. After the palace was built, he drained the water in the ditch and filled the ditch with the waste left over from the construction of the palace. The streets were restored to their original state, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars for the court.
money.
It turned out that such a person was also because his family was too large, so His Majesty chose an opportunity to say that he was covering up Lei Yungong for stealing things from the late emperor's tomb, which angered the Queen Mother. Lei Yungong was executed, and Ding Wei was dismissed as prime minister and demoted to Yazhou.
When Sihu joined the army, all four of his sons were deposed. When his family property was confiscated, "the legacy of bribery from all directions, invincible" was found from his home.
Your Majesty is not smart enough, so he is very wary of those big families who become powerful. Your eldest brother said that the situation of the Gao family is like this. There is no need for their family to be guilty, as long as they become powerful, they will be cut off.
Our family has a pitifully small population, and there are only five owners in Nuo Da's mansion, so these things are far from our family."
Yun Er shook his head irritably and said, "It's really troublesome. I don't want to be an official in the future."
Lu Qingqing smiled and said: "That's not possible, and it's not up to you. If you want to train Huang He, how can you train him without an official position? But this is fine. If you go to manage Huang He in the future, you will be far away from the court. An official who does things
, usually no one will cause trouble for you."
"Sister-in-law, how do you know so much? I don't know any of these things."
Lu Qingqing smiled and said: "Do you think being a lady is easy? Why do you think your eldest brother took such a big risk to marry your sister-in-law? He just wanted to marry a girl from a wealthy family so that he could help me.
Own official family.
Your eldest brother is a cunning man. He thought he really liked me when he married me, but he was deceived. Who knew that he married a beautiful concubine in the blink of an eye, but left the whole family's affairs to me...
…”
Unable to listen to these words, Yun Er left the eldest brother's study directly. When he walked outside the door, he could still hear the voices of his sister-in-law and his eldest brother arguing. He ignored him. This is a special way of talking between couples. Whoever participates in it will be unlucky.
, because the two of them will deal with the guys involved together...
It is impossible to build a full-scale model of the Yellow River at this stage. Fortunately, our ancestors have done a lot of work in this area.
The monks and the eunuch Nangong said that the meridian has been determined. From north to south, there are Baima in Huazhou, Junyi Taiyue Terrace in Bianzhou, Fugou in Xuzhou, and Shangcai Wujin Hall in Yuzhou. Among them, Baima is in the north of the Yellow River, and the other three points are in the Yellow River.
To the south. They are all between 114. and 114.5 degrees east longitude, which is almost at the same longitude (that is, what Liu Zhuo calls "North and South Zhengzheng"). In total, it is 56 miles and 70 steps from Baima to Shangcai, and the North Pole height difference is 1.5 degrees.
, thus drawing the conclusion that the height of the North Pole differs by about three hundred and fifty-one miles and eighty steps by one degree. This actually gives the length of one degree of the Earth's meridian.
Then use the North Star to determine the height, and you can roughly get the height of the Yellow River at certain points. This is very similar to the horizontality used in later generations, except that one uses the stars to determine the height, and the other uses the plane of the sea to determine the height. Only the North Star is used to determine the height.
The data calculated using the Pythagorean theorem after positioning is not very accurate, and Yun Er and others do not have the ability to measure countless points on the Yellow River and finally connect these points. In that case, a relatively accurate height map of the Yellow River will be
The only thing that can be determined now is the altitude that the two brothers barely know. Together with the points measured using the North Star, they can barely build a Yellow River.
So the yard of the Yun family was filled with rocks, loess, and sand. The Ministry of Industry had never built anything like this before, so Yun Er, Su Shi, and Su Che, these three young men were very busy and very hard. (
