Chapter 48 Knowing each other

In addition to his family background, Yang En was responsible for almost all construction matters since Emperor Tianyou took office as the Huainan Jiedu Envoy.

He was a founding minister who was subordinate to the envoy Xu Mingzhen and others.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Yang Enzeng served as Minister of the Ministry of Industry and was granted the title of Marquis of Liyang.

After the battle in Runzhou, he asked Emperor Tianyou to show mercy and let go of the wife and children of Yue King Dong Chang, who had been friends with him in the past, and had a fight with Emperor Tianyou.

Emperor Tianyou finally ordered the destruction of Dong Chang and his clan, so Yang En took off his official robe and hung up his boots when he was in court.

In the end, a group of old friends persuaded Yang Encai to plead guilty to Emperor Tianyou. Later, he was dismissed from the post of minister of the Ministry of Industry, deprived of his title, and stayed in the Shaofu to take charge of work and other matters. However, every time there was a big court meeting, he would not go to court because he was ill, which was also the case.

He was the only person in the country who dared to shut out the envoys of Emperor Tianyou and disappear, and he also resolutely refused to accept Emperor Tianyou's subsequent re-ennomination of his title.

Yang En's two sons died in the Runzhou battlefield against Dong Chang's Yuezhou army. His wife did not remarry after she died of illness. He sent the maids rewarded by Emperor Tianyou back to the palace several times. He usually liked to ride on a donkey in the palace.

When wandering around the city, I don’t mind going to a fun venue like the Wanhonglou to listen to the piano or something.

Han Qian really didn't expect that Shen Yang would invite him over to help with the construction of the camp. No wonder Guo Liang, who looked aloof and disrespectful to Shen Yang, acted like a little pug in front of him!

To be honest, his father and Shen Yang were junior figures in front of Yang En; even the crown prince, King Xin and the third prince Yang Yuanpu couldn't help but be arrogant and rude when they saw Yang En.

Of course, when Yang En asked Shen Yang to come over for help, he didn't mean to get involved in the fight for the heir.

First, Yang En didn't even pay attention to Emperor Tianyou, and others would not think that he would be involved in the fight for the throne; moreover, even if Yang En casually helped Linjiang Marquis at this time, he would not be able to take advantage of the prince's gain in the future.

How about a person like Yang En?

Yang En can be free and easy, but Han Qian and the others do not have this qualification. He does not presume to speculate on what Yang En thinks of the third prince Yang Yuanpu.

Yang En asked him how to rebuild the large lime stove, but he was vague about it. He only said that Shen Yang was pushing hard and there were not many manpower available in the villa, so he could only take the risk and try to build a large stove.

The first furnace of lime in Dazhao is still being fired, but in the eyes of an expert like Yang En, he can tell at a glance whether it will work or not. He also specially instructed the stone-burners guarding the kiln how to judge the lime firing by looking at the three colors of gray, green and white.

It is estimated that more charcoal will be added, and a large stove of this level will need to be smoldering for three days and two nights.

With Yang En's guidance, Han Qian and others were saved a lot of fumbling time.

Han Daoxun did not want to get involved in the fight for heirs. He saw the situation of the hungry people infected with the epidemic along the way, so he left Shen Yang, Yang En, Guo Liang and others to have a banquet in the villa.

However, Guo Liang, Marquis of Du Yu, said that something happened in the camp and left first.

No matter how busy the camp military mansion is, it is impossible to be busier than Shen Yang. Seeing Guo Liang's eyes full of disgust when he left, Han Qian thought that it would be better for others to have such misunderstandings about his father, otherwise everyone would guess it.

It was his father who pushed for the establishment of the military headquarters. I am afraid that there would be no way for his father and son to survive in Jinling City.

Guo Liang left dissatisfied. Feng Yi and Kong Xirong were ordered to return to the city by the uneasy Feng Wenlan before noon. At noon, Han Qian accompanied Shen Yang, Yang En and his father to drink in the small hall.

When the food and wine were all served and the crowd had left, Yang En suddenly picked up a glass of wine and said: "Wang Jixiong resigned and recommended Daoxun to the court, saying that Daoxun had great talents. A few days ago, Daoxun gave advice to drive away the hungry people at the court meeting. I was listening to music at Cuihua House. After hearing about this, I even scolded Wang Jixiong for being an old fool and having a pair of dog eyes. Now it seems that I have to apologize to Daoxun! Please Daoxun forgive me for such nonsense. nonsense!"

Seeing his father being so excited that he burst into tears, Han Qian's scalp was numb. There were some things that it was impossible to get past someone with vicious eyes!

Han Daoxun gave advice to drive away the hungry people, but the matter was taken over by the Linjiang Marquis Mansion. In the end, he failed to please the prince's family, and ended up with a flattering prince, who had a vicious heart and wanted to bring bad reputation to the hungry people.

Although Han Daoxun took the initiative to seek notoriety, several good friends who usually had good reputations deliberately distanced themselves from each other, which made Han Daoxun feel uncomfortable.

It is not difficult to imagine how excited Han Daoxun was when Yang En offered him a glass of wine.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Han Daoxun, Shen Yang, and Yang En inevitably discussed the current situation. Han Qian was frightened when he heard that these three old angry young men agreed that the stubborn problems of the dynasty should not be fought directly, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "Master Yang rarely leaves the city. How to build the military camp and the embankment? Mr. Shen Yang can't miss the opportunity to ask Master Yang for advice!"

Han Qian was afraid that his father would be unable to suppress the urge to meet his confidant.

"I'm not busy. I have a lot of free time now. It's not a big deal to go out of the city when I have free time. I still have a few master craftsmen who will be transferred to you tomorrow." Yang En was not busy discussing the settlement and the He was interested in the construction method of the levee on the other hand, and asked, "Lime is used to treat sores and kill insects, but how are you sure that lime can also treat water poisonous poisons?"

Only then did Han Qian realize that the biggest flaw was in the lime, but it was a pity that the villa had no efforts and Shen Yang was temporarily unable to allocate a large number of manpower to bake the lime.

"This is "Epidemic Water Treatment" written by Brother Daoxun. Please take a look at it, Mr. Yang." Shen Yang took out a leaflet from his sleeve robe and handed it to Yang En.

Han Qian wanted to hit himself hard with a hammer, but he didn't expect that his father would let Shen Yang read Epidemic Water Treatment, and he would also directly hand over the original copy of "Epidemic Water Treatment" to Shen Yang!

If Shen Yang handed the original letter to Anning Palace, Han Qian thought that from the position of Anning Palace, he would probably send assassins to kill the two of them directly after seeing the original letter.

"If Mr. Yang doesn't mind that Han Qian talks too much, Han Qian will explain everything to Mr. Yang." Han Qian cut off "Epidemic Water Treatment" halfway and said.

Without this original letter, even if An Ning Palace guessed that his father and son were secretly helping Linjiang Marquis, as long as they could not confirm that they were the masterminds of this matter, the means to deal with them might not be too drastic.

After all, assassination can only be used on the opponent's most critical characters.

Therefore, this letter "Epidemic Water Treatment" written by his father must be destroyed no matter what.

The last time he copied it silently and showed it to Marquis Xinchang, Li Pu, and the others, he took it back on the spot and destroyed it later, because he was afraid that if the Anning Palace took action against Linjiang Marquis, after seeing these evidences, he might even kneel down and ask for a chance. !

Seeing Han Qian directly cut off "Epidemic Water Shu", Yang En didn't think it was too rude, and he didn't expect Han Qian to put so much thought into it, and said: "You and your son will explain it to me directly. , better." After saying this, Yang En looked at Han Daoxun. He felt that Epidemic Water Shu was written by Han Daoxun, and naturally Han Daoxun was more qualified to explain it to him.

"Qian'er has a deep observation of the water bug epidemic. Half of the credit for this book belongs to Qian'er." Han Daoxun hoped that Han Qian would be more appreciated by Yang En and Shen Yang in the future.

"Oh!" Yang En looked at Han Qian in surprise and motioned for him to explain.

"..." Han Qian really didn't want to say more, but at this time he had to attract the attention of the three old angry youths to discuss specific and trivial technical details. He not only summarized the observations of the water bug epidemic in the medical books of the previous dynasty. Again, it was even more clearly pointed out that the water bug epidemic is parasitic on shallow water snails. The main measures taken are to control the source of the epidemic. In addition to large-scale spraying of lime to kill the source of the epidemic, it is also necessary to build embankments to block the lake water. Farming can only be cultivated. In dry land, paddy fields must be eliminated, and ditches must be dug and replaced...

"According to what you said, it is indeed worth a try, but the lake beaches are mostly low-lying areas. Even if the embankments are built to protect them from the lake water, there will be water accumulation everywhere during the rainy spring and summer seasons. How can we cultivate dry fields?" Yang En asked about the construction project. He was so familiar with the method that he could see the key point at a glance and asked directly.

"Create dry land using the field method!" Han Qian said.

"Duotian method?" Yang En heard that the word was unfamiliar and asked in confusion.

"Dig shallow ditches around a low-lying land into a deep pond, and the mud from the pond can raise the low-lying land in the middle, like a haystack," Han Qian explained. "It is difficult for deep ponds to store poison, so there are not many diseases in the city." It can be verified by spreading it.”

"There are people in Haizhou who use this method to cultivate fields. I didn't know it was called Duotian method. It sounds really vivid," Yang En said to Han Daoxun with a smile, "Your son is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable. If you can go to the place After a few years of hard work, one day when I enter the imperial court, just like you, I will become a pillar of the country!"

Yang En's original intention was not to involve Han Daoxun and Han Qian in the fight for heir apparent.

Han Qian was actually really looking forward to Yang En asking Emperor Tianyou to recommend a place for his father to serve as an official and stay away from the troubles in Jinling.

At the local level, even if his father wanted to implement the New Deal, it would only affect one wealthy family. When the time comes, Emperor Tianyou might be willing to use a certain state or county as an experiment and provide strong support.

Just thinking about Yang En's awkwardness with Emperor Tianyou over the years, naturally there is no way to pursue this idea with Yang En for the time being.

However, Han Qian successfully shifted Shen Yang, Han Daoxun and Yang En's attention to the discussion of specific technical details.

It's just that his father had been discussing with Shen Yang and Yang En for too long, and Han Qian began to worry about gains and losses again. He thought that if these three old angry young men hung out together for too long, Anning Palace would be suspicious if they knew about it.

Fortunately, when the sun was setting, Fan Xicheng came over to report that the new three-burning stone stove had been built.
