“Due to the poor economy in Gaomi, the reservoir has never been implemented.”

In fact, the use of reservoirs has been in use a long time ago, but reservoirs are not available everywhere. One requires topography, and the other requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

Later, the three discussed some other measures, and finally You Hong concluded.

"We are urgently recruiting work to build a reservoir in Dongwu County from now on." You Hongyin spread out the high-density map, which was brought back by Shen Yuan.

Both Fan Wuya and Cao Lin were surprised by how detailed and clear the drawing was, and they couldn't help but ask: "Lord, where did this drawing come from?"

"This was painted by Shen Yuan, the newly appointed teacher, who personally traveled through the mountains and rivers in the past few years."

"It turns out to be Shen Jiaoyu, he is indeed a great talent."

"It can be seen from the map that the only places where reservoirs can be built in Gaomi are Dongwu and Qianzou. However, time is too urgent and there is not much time before spring plowing, so we should choose Dongwu." You Hongyin said.

Cao Lin agreed: "There are water canals connecting the villages. Even though Dongwu is slightly remote, it has a large water storage capacity, so it is indeed more suitable than Qianzou."

"Reservoir construction requires professional talents." Fan Wuya said helplessly; "I am a poor and remote high-density landowner and do not have such talents."

Of course, You Hongyin couldn't change him immediately, so he could only say helplessly: "I am proficient in water conservancy matters and can handle it."

Fan Wuya was overjoyed, it was really different to have a lord who knew everything, but he was a little ashamed at the same time. It was a dereliction of duty on the part of the minister to ask the lord to personally take action on such a matter.

After discussing the matter of ending the reservoir, You Hongyin got himself into a big trouble. He felt very upset, but then he started to the next topic: "Leave the matter of the waterwheel to the county magistrates of the counties where the Weishui River flows. This The sub-seasons need to be coordinated with each other. In addition, if there is a severe drought, it will be difficult to plant millet and beetroot during spring plowing. Tongguang counties should plant buckwheat and reed millet instead. "

The so-called reed millet is sorghum. Buckwheat and sorghum are both cold-resistant crops. They can also fill the stomach and are the best crops to cope with drought.

In addition, potatoes are a crop with high yield, drought resistance, suitable for the Qingzhou environment, low soil requirements, short growth cycle and can replace food. However, it is a pity that You Hongyin’s fleet can only go to Goguryeo now, and here, There are no potatoes.

"Don't worry, my lord, these subordinates will definitely be able to handle it." Fan Wuya understood that in the next few months, he would need to share more of other county affairs, while his lord would need to spend more energy building the reservoir.

"Also," You Hongyin said, "we need to inform the governor of Qingzhou about this matter, and we have to go to the trouble of writing it to the beginning."

It is impossible for You Hongyin to hide this matter from others, but it would be too cheap for others to sell the news in a random letter, not to mention that if the letter is informal, others will probably laugh it off. , so sending envoys is necessary.

Cao Lin nodded: "This is the duty of my subordinates. However, Lord Shan Jian may not believe it so easily."

You Hongyin said: "If Shanzhou Mu doesn't believe it, please ask Shushi to deal with the governors of each county again."

Cao Lin said: "I'm afraid that my lord's hard work will be in vain."

"Just do what you should do. A clear conscience is my code of conduct." You Hongyin said helplessly: "You two, please be more careful."

"No." Fan Wuya and Cao Lin said solemnly.

After handling the county affairs, You Hongyin called Yuan Xi again and gave instructions on the changes in the caravan's operating policy. In addition, the fleet made two trips as much as possible to transport more food back from Goguryeo.

Goguryeo nobles like porcelain the most. In recent years, the country has been peaceful and there is a lot of food surplus. It is natural for You Hongyin to prepare more food to be prepared.

Soon, the entire Gaomi Political Center came into operation quickly, and documents began to be issued. The towns and counties below responded quickly and took action quickly.

There is no way, the county magistrates who are obedient and can do things are still sitting in their positions. Those who can't do things or are disobedient have been dealt with by You Hongyin one after another in the past two years.

It's just that the labor service has just been completed, but it is about to start again, so I can't help but feel some complaints. However, I heard that this labor service was because the coming year would be a drought year, and the reservoir was built as a precaution. In addition, in order to compensate the laborers, copper coins were paid for this service.

The fact that there is money to be paid makes most people shut up. In fact, the treatment of high-density labor is not bad. In winter, I can sleep at home when I have nothing to do. Working can make me full, save the family rations, and make some small money. How could those small farmers who are thinking about how to feed their families all year round refuse.

Today's life is no longer much better than in the past, and complaining is just greedy. What's more, the laborers building the reservoir are not for people like themselves who farm.

Soon, the complaints disappeared, and people praised the prefect for his kindness and caring for all people.

You Hongyin himself also suffered a lot. Dongwu Township built the reservoir because it is backed by hills and is at the end of the Weishui River. There is a large lake. This calculation and design cannot be done just by talking, and time is short. , stayed up all night, pulled Shen Yuan over, and the two of them worked hard for a long time before making a plan and starting work on time.

At this moment, Cao Lin, who had gone out early, came back. Not only did he come back, he also brought someone back with him.

This person is none other than You Hongyin's eldest disciple and the person who has followed him the longest.

Huo Qingjun had already sneaked into the Qingzhou Governor's Mansion as a retainer.

Chapter 192 Celebrity Romance (19)

In fact, Huo Qingjun was not the servant You Hongyin bought originally, but came to him on his own.

Back then, You Hongyin was a third-rate family member who was a disciple of Chen Kan and was not worth a penny. His reputation was not prominent. Although he could accumulate fame through literary gatherings, elegant conversations, and other conventional ways for aristocratic children to become famous, time waits for no one, and You Hongyin did not have that much time.

Therefore, he gained some fame in Guangling, one relying on his teacher Chen Kan, and the other relying on his calligraphy.

There was no way. At this moment, the art of poetry had not yet been fully developed. If he wanted to gain fame, he had to rely on elegant conversations or show his literary talent or simply rely on his face.

No, no, no, it cannot be said to rely on his face, but on his peerless and famous demeanor.

It was not that You Hongyin was not good at elegant conversations, but that he was incompatible with the mainstream elegant conversation ideas of the time. The exchange of different values ​​was not communication, but torture, and he really did not want to be hypocritical.

As for the demeanor of a famous scholar, unfortunately, the people of the Guo family have never been outstanding in appearance, and Guo Xi's body is handsome, not beautiful, and he can't act like a sickly young man. He doesn't want to put powder on his masculine face wherever he goes in the future, so this look is completely inconsistent with the aesthetics of the world, even if he wants to make a living by his face, he can't make a living.

In the end, You Hongyin chose to be famous with his pen.

There is no other way. If he doesn't make some reputation, his name is worthless. Even if he has a teacher to help him, he can't win a position as a county governor in Gaomi County.

Huo Qingjun came to him when he was a little famous in Guangling.

At that time, although You Hongyin had purchased a lot of servants, he didn't really select people who met his conditions, so Huo Qingjun, who came to his door with a foundation but was bullied and couldn't even eat, became his eldest apprentice.

At the beginning, just like Yuan Xi, after You Hongyin helped him deal with his enemies, he did not ask Huo Qingjun to follow him, but who knew that this guy seemed to be determined to rely on him and refused to leave.

You Hongyin began to doubt what was wrong with Huo Qingjun's origin.

In the end, it was discovered that Huo Qingjun came from a wealthy merchant family. His family was originally rich and had no worries about food and drink. They were also attached to the local big family Lu. Huo Qingjun could also enter the Lu family to receive teacher education, which was considered a bright future. In the future, as long as he can study hard and rely on the Lu family to enjoy the coolness, he will definitely be able to become an official. Even if he can't become a high official, it doesn't matter. The family didn't have it at the beginning, and it was accumulated and passed down from generation to generation.

However, Huo Qingjun's talent is better than that of the Lu family's children.

After that, suppression, ridicule, frame-up, etc. followed one after another. There was no way. Jealousy would not ask whether you were a noble family or not. It existed in anyone at any time and anywhere.

In order not to bring trouble to his family, Huo Qingjun simply ran away from home.

Then he wandered around Guangling City. He had not completed his studies and wanted to find a benefactor. §ThinTu.com§Document§Sharing§and§Online§Reading§

Later, he discovered You Hongyin. Of course, he was not interested in You Hongyin at first, but Chen Kan behind You Hongyin.

Chen's expertise in the art of diplomacy was no secret among the gentry, and Huo Qingjun's favorite doctrine was not the Taoism of Laozi and Zhuangzi, not metaphysics, not Confucianism, but the art of diplomacy.

You Hongyin can be said to have taught countless disciples, and Huo Qingjun's talent in strategy can be ranked in the top ten.

Huo Qingjun originally thought that the thirteen-year-old boy was easy to fool, but who knew that he was a guy who ate meat without spitting out bones. He happily pitted this piece of good talent into his own camp. His teacher Chen Kan didn't even touch him, and Huo Qingjun was intercepted by You Hongyin.

Maybe because he was learning from a master, Huo Qingjun was not as obedient as other disciples at the beginning, let alone loyalty, but this did not prevent You Hongyin from valuing him.

You Hongyin was never afraid of the ideas of people around him or his subordinates, as long as they did things obediently, and he had various means to make people obedient.

But later, the situation changed. Huo Qingjun was a smart man. After only seven days with You Hongyin, he became an honest and diligent disciple, and no longer had his messy ideas. After years of getting along, the friendship between the two smart people was deeper than that of others.

Among them, in a sense, Huo Qingjun was the disciple who inherited You Hongyin's true mantle, and at the same time, he was also You Hongyin's confidant in terms of ideas. He could untie the shackles of thought, jump out of the times and look at the whole world from a macro perspective. He no longer thought that the aristocratic family was a boulder on the way to the top of the Han clan, but understood that the Han clan needed to form an alliance in the future.

You Hongyin chose Qingzhou as his base after consulting Huo Qingjun's opinion.

"Not all soldiers are brave and good at fighting. The different sources of soldiers lead to different combat effectiveness of the army, and the combat effectiveness of the army is the most stringent guarantee of power in hand. Bingzhou has the strongest soldiers in the world. Because Bingzhou's Hu people, Han people and even their descendants live together, the racial advantage is relatively large. In addition, Bingzhou has been fighting with the Qiang people, Xianbei and other Hu people for many years, and its reputation is extremely fierce. Other types of soldiers are easy to get, but cavalry is hard to find. People in Bingzhou also raise and sell horses, and their riding skills are not inferior to those of the Hu people. Therefore, if you want to train a good army, you also need a good source of soldiers. Youzhou has too few people, and Yizhou is a big piece of fat meat, so it is not your turn, teacher. Therefore, Qingzhou, where the people are also cheerful and fierce but located in a remote location, is your only choice."

Huo Qingjun, who said this, was only three years older than the thirteen-year-old You Hongyin, but his words were already deafening.

This chaotic era has never lacked geniuses.

Huo Qingjun probably only studied with You Hongyin for another year and a half, then he wrote a letter of divorce and went to be a retainer. Whose retainer was he?

Of course, it was the Qingzhou governor Shan Jian.

At that time, You Hongyin was indeed poor and had no knowledge of the government and information from all parties. He was too slow and backward. Even if Shan Jian was a governor who shook his sleeves, as a governor of a region, he had no shortage of information. What's more, Huo Qingjun was in the governor's mansion, and he could respond to everything in the first time, which was really the most cost-effective.

In the past few years of Gaomi's development, You Hongyin did get a lot of responses from Huo Qingjun, otherwise, he would not have been so quick to kill the newly appointed governor Cheng Mu.

You Hongyin looked at Huo Qingjun, and Huo Qingjun also looked at You Hongyin. Both of them had complicated expressions and could not hide their emotions.

When they parted, it was still three years ago. Now, after so many years of not seeing each other, they have changed a lot and almost couldn't recognize each other.

"Xiu Ran, you're back." You Hongyin had a thousand things to say, but in the end, he only said this.

"Yes, little teacher, I'm back." Huo Qingjun smiled.

In view of the long-awaited reunion, You Hongyin didn't care about the small word he deliberately added: "It's good to come back, it's not easy to get along with Shan Jian."

"Fortunately, it's fortunate that stupid people are prone to neglect
