When Yun Er saw the emperor coming, he immediately saluted and said: "Sir, you want me to come and ask the officials. The people have a way and the king has a way. Why does the king enter the people's way and let the people live their lives? Who will follow the king's way?"
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Water can carry a boat and it can also overturn it. This is a famous saying of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. If I can't stop the waves in the world, how can I live on the boat?"
Yun Er saluted again: "Your Majesty, does he know the nature of water?"
Zhao Zhen frowned and said, "I don't know!"
Yun Er cupped his hands and said: "That's it. Your Majesty doesn't know the nature of water, but you are a small minister. Your Majesty is the master of the world. Mountains, rivers, and common people can be used by your Majesty. Why did your Majesty abandon the long and shorten it?"
Your Majesty is not as good as a peasant woman in carrying water, you are not as good as a farmer in digging soil, you are not as good as Di Shuai and my brother in marching formation, you are not as good as Ouyang Xiu in reciting poems and poems, you are not as good as Bao Gong in trying lawsuits and ending prisons, you are not as good as magistrates and magistrates in governing local areas, it is not that you do not study hard, but because there is no need.
.
All natural talents are prepared by God for Your Majesty. You don’t have to know everything, you just need to know people and make good use of them.”
The queen and Zou Tong were both a little worried. They didn't know whether the emperor could bear such remonstrances that did not give the emperor face. They saw Pang Ji, Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, Wang Anshi, and Ouyang Xiu all coming over, and Sima Guang
I also heard these words, and I guess they will definitely be written into "Notes on Daily Life".
"Haha, the little boy asked an interesting question. His Majesty has never acted arbitrarily and has always followed the instructions of Chana Yayan. Take this water fetching as an example. As the leader, His Majesty has the intention to inspire all people. He is so young and does not understand
Don't talk too much about political affairs. Seeing that you are young, I will punish you by carrying ten loads of water!" The speaker was Wang Anshi, who spoke very skillfully. He took care of the emperor's face and gave Yun Er a step down.
And he was kind and powerful in a way that left people speechless.
Yun Er looked at Wang Anshi for a long time, until he saw that Wang Anshi was a little suspicious, and then Yun Er said: "Your Majesty asked you, but he asked the wrong person. The advice you gave His Majesty could not solve the urgent needs at hand, and could not let the Song Dynasty
The treasury is full, but it is a matter of asking questions and being blind!"
Wang Anshi was not angry, but laughed and said: "In this case, who should your Majesty ask?"
Yun Er held his chest high, patted his chest and said, "You should ask me!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Wang Anshi burst out laughing, but also Pang Ji, Han Qi, and Wen Yanbo. Zhao Zhen naturally also stroked his beard and smiled, as if he was a young man who doesn't know how high the sky is.
In fact, without the appearance of the Yellow River waterwheel, there would be no hope of saving the rice seedlings in the fields. Wang Anshi's method is indeed not wrong. As long as the people's hearts are gathered and waiting for the right time to plan for the future, it is a safe way.
Yun Er broke away from Zou Tong's hands that were trying to drag him away and shouted to Wang Anshi: "What's so funny? I've helped my sister-in-law water all the fields at home. I can do more work than you on my own."
There are many people, and there is no difference between day and night. If everyone learns from me and dare not say anything else, the fields on the banks of the Yellow River will not be disturbed by drought. If the canals can keep up, even the fields in the distance will not be affected by drought.
You can also be safe and sound.
I am still young and cannot fill the national treasury, but I will never foolishly carry a bucket to water the fields. In that case, I will be exhausted and not be able to water much."
Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and everyone present was stunned, but Queen Cao asked Yun Er strangely: "Yun Yue, are you really getting along well with me to water the countryside?"
Yun Er saluted the queen and said, "Yes, my sister-in-law was afraid of carrying water and didn't dare to disturb my eldest brother's thinking about military strategy, so she left this matter to me, saying that I was the man of the family and I should worry about family affairs.
So I looked at the fields and the water of the Yellow River, and made a kind of message to let the Yellow River water flow into the fields by itself. If you read my message, you will know that it is stupid to rely on human power to carry water..."
The queen's expression immediately changed, and she asked in a deep voice: "Where is the Yunlu family?"
Yun Er looked around and then said: "Sister-in-law is enjoying the shade of the tree with Mr. Yan right now. After my land is watered, my craftsmen will go to Yan's house to build a message."
Zhao Zhen's face was so dark that it was ugly, and he ordered Zou Tong: "Go to the Yun family's courtyard, I want to see what kind of agency information can make what I am doing now look so stupid!"
Seeing the emperor, empress and concubines getting on the carriage, Wang Anshi asked Wen Yanbo in a low voice: "Whose son is this?"
Wen Yanbo smiled bitterly and said: "Of course it belongs to the Yun family. The Yun family doesn't produce any good people and does all the harm. If there is a good way, come out as soon as possible. If you come up with it now, won't it make me lose my face and carry a person on my back?"
He has a reputation for being as stupid as a pig!"
Pang Ji interrupted Wen Yanbo and said: "Let's go and see first. If it's really feasible, even if you and I get a bad name, it's still the result of being less intelligent than others. There's nothing to complain about."
Han Qi turned his head and looked at the people in the valley. He smiled bitterly and said, "All your hard work is in vain!" After saying that, he dragged Wang Anshi into the carriage and drove towards the Yunjiazhuang Courtyard in the billowing smoke.
As expected, Lu Qingqing and Ge Qiuyan spread out the mat under the shade of the tree, invited Mr. Peng Li to the table, and together with Mr. Yan, they set out tea and snacks and served the old man to eat. However, Ge Qiuyan held up her long skirt and stood curiously.
I stood by the canal and looked in, throwing leaves into the turbid water. It was very relaxing.
Yan looked at the slowly turning waterwheel and said to the old man: "Sir, the water level is low this year. If the water level becomes high next year, won't these waterwheels be washed away by the river water?"
Mr. Peng Li shook his head and said: "Of course not. The water is shallow this year, so we can build a small stone embankment on the river. That stone embankment can naturally ensure that the two high platforms are safe and sound. When the water surface rises, small wheels will be replaced.
When the water surface is low, big wheels are put on. With waterwheels, water from the Yellow River can be continuously pumped out of the river to benefit the people. Not only watering the fields, but also water for daily use.
Guaranteed, in fact, as long as manpower is saved, it will benefit the people."
Yan nodded in agreement, and then said sheepishly to Lu Qingqing: "Sister, don't blame me for being greedy for such a good thing."
Mr. Peng Li waved his big hand and said: "The Yun family does not rely on this thing to make a fortune. Using this thing to make a fortune will damage the longevity of the descendants. No matter who wants to use it, they can come to the Yun family to learn how to make it. I still agree with this point."
I can help Yun Zheng do it."
Lu Qingqing smiled and stroked his belly and said to Mr. Peng Li with a sweet smile: "Sir, the Yun family is about to have a baby again, and this child will be waiting for your guidance in the future! As for things like waterwheels that benefit all people, Yun
The family does not dare to keep it to itself, even if it spreads to the world, that is what the official family should do, so why should the Yun family be in the front?"
Mr. Peng Li looked at Lu Qingqing dotingly and said with a smile: "A good wife and husband will not bring trouble to the family. Yun Zheng is a surly person. He has been fighting continuously in these years. The more people he kills, the more he will lose his life and fortune. Don't do it."
I think this is nonsense, but you should know that there is a god three feet above your head, and the bright light in your heart must never be extinguished!"
Lu Qingqing smiled and said: "Sir, what you said is absolutely true. However, my husband is killing enemies for the country. He is protecting my Chinese descendants, so he is not allowed to kill people. I think God will definitely bless him. Even if God does not bless him, my ancestors will
I will also protect him."
Mr. Peng Li stroked his beard and laughed, nodding repeatedly. He was extremely satisfied with his disciple...
Zhao Zhen came to Yunjiazhuang Courtyard and saw the water tanker pouring streams of turbid river water into the tank from a distance. He took a handful of the turbid river water in the tank and discovered that what Yun Er said was absolutely right.
I seem to be really stupid!
The queen happily dragged Yun Er to look at the full tank of water. Praises poured out of her mouth continuously. Concubine Shu Lanlan even promised Yun Er that she would find him the best woman to be his wife. She was deeply moved.
Yun Er, who knew how to protect himself, grinned, showing his white teeth, and smiled stupidly. If he showed extraordinary intelligence at this time, he would be an out-and-out idiot.
Yun Er's stupidity made the emperor feel much more comfortable. This was the way a stupid child did something to expose his face and presented a treasure to an adult, and this adult happened to be him. This shows that the Yun family has always been loyal and praiseworthy.
The information about such an organization that can make a lot of money is not concealed. Thinking about his brothers who are collecting grain, the anger in his heart suddenly rises. He plans to wait until this thing fills the Yellow River, and then he will have a good relationship with his own.
Several brothers talked about it, especially King Pu. Do you really think that you don't know anything?
Pang Ji put his hand into the sink, feeling the powerful feeling of the water washing over his palm, and said to Han Qi with a wry smile: "Next time Yun Zheng says that we are stupid, it's better not to argue. Our stupidity has already been confirmed by this matter."
Wang Anshi felt that his face was burning badly. He had almost never interacted with the Yun family. Just now in Shuipotou, he was a little complacent. He could make the emperor, empress, noble concubines and noble ministers who could not sit down in the hall under his command.
It was almost the pinnacle of glory for a courtier. Who would have expected that he would become the biggest joke in Tokyo in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Zhen watched the waterwheel for a while with his hands behind his back. Seeing that the thing was very secure and the cost didn't seem to be high, he asked Yun Er, who was standing next to him with his chest puffed out: "What did Yun Zheng say?"
Yun Er bowed and replied: "My eldest brother doesn't know. These days, friends from far away have sent him thirty boatloads of rice. He is entertaining his friends. This thing was brought by Mr. Peng Li, Wei Chen, Su Shi and Su Zhe."
What we have completed, my husband said, if His Majesty does not want it, he is prepared to spend all his wealth to buy a few waterwheels for the people on the banks of the Yellow River."
Zhao Zhen looked back at Mr. Peng Li who was sitting in the shade of a tree drinking tea and did not get up to greet him. He felt a little ashamed and walked up to Mr. Peng Li and saluted: "Sir, I know I was wrong!"
Mr. Peng Li stood up, supported Zhao Zhen, and invited him to sit on the mat. He looked at Zhao Zhen covered in mud and water and said with regret: "You have been weak since you were a child. How can you withstand such hard work? There are endless disasters in the world."
, it has nothing to do with your moral character. You have worked hard for this country day and night, and there is nothing immoral about it. Among emperors throughout the ages, your talents are not the most outstanding, but you are the most kind emperor. As an emperor,
Talent is not the most important thing. Being able to know people well and do their jobs well, coupled with kindness, the world will be iron-clad.
I have been reading scriptures for many years, but I have been observing the mechanism of the universe. The so-called fool will find something after all his considerations. I believe that these natural disasters are the result of the evolution of the qi of the four seasons. They are the irreversible trend of the world. The north is getting colder, so the barbarians cannot
Therefore, they gradually invaded southward. According to the news brought by caravans from far away, the distant North Sea has been frozen for three consecutive years. In the pre-Tang Dynasty, the North Sea was also known as the Hot Sea. Although there were strong winds, the sea was cold in winter.
There is no ice there, and the herdsmen there will choose to spend the winter in the North Sea. Now that it is frozen, why don't they look for a warm place to spend the winter? In the past few years, the Song Dynasty has been experiencing constant disasters, and you still have to resist the barbarians to ensure the prosperity of your ancestors.
