Man Bao and Bai Shanbao both turned their heads and glared at him, wanting to beat him up, but they were smart enough not to do it since Mr. was present.
Mr. Zhuang came back to his senses, looking at the three carefree children, he couldn't help but let out a faint sigh.
Man Bao asked with concern, "Sir, what's wrong with you?"
Mr. Zhuang looked at her for a long time, then said after a while of silence: "The Minjiang River burst its embankment."
"Where is the Minjiang River?"
After thinking for a while, Mr. Zhuang spread out a large piece of paper, drew the three disciples in front of him, and drew a picture with a pen, "The Minjiang River is above Yizhou..."
Although the children are still young, Mr. Zhuang will occasionally tell them about geography. If he talks about geography, he must start from the local area.
For example, above Qili Village is Baimaguan Town, and above it is Luojiang County, which is under the jurisdiction of Bashi County, Mianzhou, Jiannan Road, and Yizhou, where Jiannan Road is governed.
So apart from the distant capital where the old emperor is, the top of Qili Village is Yizhou.
As for how far Yizhou is from Qili Village, in Mr. Zhuang's words, it takes a day to ride a horse, and we start before dawn, and maybe we can enter the city when the city gate is closed.
If it is walking, it will take about three or four days. The foot distance is calculated according to the adults. If Man Bao walks with his own small arms and legs, he may have to walk for seven or eight days.
It is said that it was a very prosperous and prosperous place, with countless people and delicious food.
Of course, this is said to be said by Mr. Zhuang and Master Bai, because only these two have been to Yizhou in the whole village, and the farthest place that Lao Zhoutou has reached is Luojiang County, so he can’t tell Manbao anything about Yizhou story.
The Minjiang River is the largest river in Yizhou, and even in the entire Jiannan Road. Mr. Zhuang drew a water flow diagram on the paper and sighed: "The water flow of the Minjiang River is very fast, especially in the area of Yulei Mountain. In the pre-Qin period, whenever the Minjiang River flooded, all the people below Yizhou were devastated, so the land of Shu was also known as Zeguo."
Not only Man Bao and Bai Shanbao, but even Bai Erlang became serious and listened with great interest.
Mr. Zhuang pondered for a moment. Considering that they were still young, he could only tell them a story, "It wasn't until the Qin Dynasty that Li Bing, the prefect of Shu County, built Jianwei Weir on the Minjiang River, and the situation improved."
Then Mr. Zhuang told them about Jianweiyan. He used to rush to become an official, and he was from Shu, so he not only read related books, but also went to see Jianweiyan during his study tour.
Even now, he still admires the man who built the project more than 900 years ago.
Man Bao and Bai Shanbao had gone to see the construction of water conservancy projects, but that was the simplest one, opening a ditch, and the most complicated one was the dam built last year, but compared with Jianwei Weir, it is not worth it Mention.
Back then, in order to divert the Minjiang River, Li Bing specially built the Jindi and Baopingkou to divert the water from the Minjiang River, and built flat water tanks and Feisha Weir to prevent flooding and irrigation. Since then, there have been few floods and droughts in the downstream.
It is all because Jianwei Weir not only prevents floods, but also ensures the irrigation of tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land downstream.
As a gentleman who once had ideals and ambitions and has been paying attention to the imperial government's policies, Mr. Zhuang is like a fire at this time, because: "The last great flood in Yizhou was seventeen years old, and it has only been eight years since then. In the fifth year of Dazhen, Feishayan was overhauled, but it was only two years..."
Mr. Zhuang had a lot to say, but he didn't know who to talk to, so he could only talk to three little babies who didn't understand.
I don't know if Bai Erlang understood Bai Shanbao, but anyway, he understood the subtext of the master, his eyes sparkled, and he looked at Man Bao.
Man Bao's eyes were also shining, and he also turned his head to look at Bai Shanbao.
It was more than an hour after Mr. Zhuang finished speaking about Jianweiyan. The servants of the Bai family came to invite him to dinner, and Mr. Bai was waiting for him to drink in the front hall.
Man Bao and the others ate their lunch in the study, and they still had half an hour to rest in the middle. If Master Bai and Mr. Zhuang had a longer drink and chat, they might have another hour or two.
The small stove has been open like this for the past few days, and the class time in the afternoon is very erratic.
As soon as Mr. Zhuang left, the servants brought up the meals for the three children, the same as those in the school. In order to prevent them from being picky eaters, the meals and dishes were pre-packaged, and each person had a pot, but each person had too much. a bowl of soup.
Man Bao didn't think there was anything wrong with eating at Bai's house, she dragged her bowl to Bai Shanbao's side, and whispered to him, "Is it like the one in the storybook?"
Man Bao has figured out how to use the system. Apart from wandering around the mall, what he likes most is reading storybooks with Ke Ke.
Some books require a lot of points, but some books are few. Man Bao likes books with strong stories and few points.
Not only did she read it herself, but she also lent it to Bai Shanbao, anyway, their books were always exchanged. So Bai Shanbao understood what Man Bao said.
Bai Shanbao nodded fiercely, and also whispered: "There must be corrupt officials."
"What a bad guy!"
Bai Erlang sat diagonally across from them, tried his best to listen, but he couldn't hear anything, but he firmly believed that they were talking bad about him, so he put his chopsticks heavily on the table, and asked angrily, "Aren't you Scolding me?"
The two people who were discussing happily raised their heads to look at him, clicked their tongues at the same time, and said, "Are you an official?"
"Do you have what it takes to be a bad official?"
In their opinion, being an official requires a lot of skill, and being a bad official requires even more skill, because the bad guys in the book, especially the bad officials, are usually very smart, um, better than good officials. And be smart.
Of course, bad officials will still fail in the end, but Man Bao and Bai Shanbao have made statistics, it takes a lot of good officials to defeat each other, usually, seven good people can defeat one bad person.
So in the little minds of the two children, bad officials are usually smarter than good officials.
So the two of them took a critical look at Bai Erlang and discussed, "Maybe you won't be able to be a good official."
Bai Shanbao: "If you are an official, you have to take an exam. I don't think you can even be an official unless you study hard from now on."
Bai Erlang stared wide-eyed, and asked, "What are you talking about about good officials and bad officials? Did I say I want to be an official?"
"We're talking about the Minjiang River bursting its embankment. It may be a natural disaster or a man-made disaster." Man Bao pointed to the dark sky outside and said, "Natural disasters are it, and man-made disasters are bad officials."
Bai Shanbao said: "I don't know who the bad officials are."
Based on his "many years" of reading experience, Man Bao analyzed, "Generally speaking, bad officials are high-ranking officials. For such a major project as the repair of water conservancy projects, it must be led by high-ranking officials, so the governor of Yizhou?"
Bai Shanbao: "There is also Jiannan Road Jiedushi."
Man Bao: "Yizhou still has the king of Yizhou."
Bai Erlang was confused, "What are you talking about?"
Why can't he understand a word
