My life skills in Daming Liver

Back in Changningwei, Su Ze realized that the reason why Jianxi was repaired so quickly was thanks to the black mountain bandits.

Changningwei captured the black mountain bandits last time, and Changningwei didn't have so much land to accommodate them. The old man and Lin Baihu together decided to send them all to the construction site.

Chen Haizhang hated these black mountain thieves deeply, and the Chen clan members naturally worked very hard to use them.

Under the urging of the members of the Chen clan day and night, Su Ze went to the county seat, and the project of tightening the river bend was completed.

After all, Jianxi is only a tributary of the Minjiang River, and the river course is relatively narrow, so the amount of work is not too large.

In the past few days, the reservoir has been surrounded to store water, and the entire downstream stream is almost dry, just waiting for Su Ze to come back and open the gate to release water to scour the river bed.

Early the next morning, everyone in Changningwei came to the edge of the reservoir with Su Ze. Everyone looked at the sand in the river bed. Can so much sand be washed away?

It is also thanks to the fact that Su Ze proposed the method of building the river. Changningwei and Beishan Village were able to work together to build the river. Now it is time to test the results.

The patriarch of the Beishan Chen family also came, and after the Changning Guard bird gun team showed their power, Beishan Village was very obedient.

The old patriarch whispered obediently next to the old grandpa, which made the old grandpa feel good.

It's been a long time since Changningwei has such a bright future!

Little Carrot is also standing by the river, looking at the river bed curiously, Brother Aze, will this method work?

Su Ze looked at the full river, and ordered to Chen Haizhang: "Dig the dam, open the gate!"

Chen Haizhang immediately ordered the clansmen to dig the dam head of the reservoir, and then pulled out the wooden planks blocking the reservoir from the bottom of the river, only to see the rumbling river water rushing into the riverbed like a swimming dragon. !

The narrowed river embankment immediately blocked the galloping dragon, and the reinforced river dam was like a bundle of dragon ropes, firmly trapping the white water dragon in the river bed.

The river hit the dam to no avail, so it could only push hard towards the silt and sand below. The white water suddenly became turbid, carrying the sand and rushing downstream.

Ordinary people have never seen such a scene before, and the bold Lin Liangjun also hid behind the crowd in fright, and Lin Cainiang even recited the prayers of the third master empress.

Everyone looked at Su Ze, only to see him standing on the edge of the river embankment, watching the rushing river, watching the first river he built with his own eyes.

As the water level in the reservoir dropped, the silt accumulated on the upstream river bed was washed away, and the stream gradually became clear. Su Ze walked downstream along Jianxi, and everyone followed him downstream. go.

The stream was still turbulent. Su Ze followed Jianxi all the way down to the edge of the reed fields at the mouth of the sea, and the stream gradually stabilized.

Looking at the muddy sand at the mouth of the sea, Su Ze finally heaved a sigh of relief, the sand was flushed with water successfully!

[Beaming water to flush sand, water conservancy skill experience +90, Lv3, 180/300]

This water conservancy skill is really easy to use, now it's Lv3.

However, with the construction of the creek this time, tens of acres of paddy fields can be opened around the upstream reservoir. Su Ze is also planning to plan some more irrigation facilities, and rebuild the irrigation facilities in Changningwei that have been in disrepair for a long time.

In this way, the water conservancy skill should be able to easily reach level five, right?

The people in Changningwei and Beishan Village looked at the clear Jianxi water again, and they thought it was amazing. The riverbed was much deeper than the naked eye. Now even if there is water from the upper reaches, Jianxi will not flood.

"The water is rising!"

A member of the Chen clan also exclaimed happily!

When the water was just stored to scour the river bed, the water also knocked away the silt that silted up the tributary of Beishan Village at the mouth of the river, and washed this tributary along the way. Now the water level of the entire Jianxi River has risen, and the tributary of Beishan Village is also unobstructed. .

Looking at the clear river water, a sense of accomplishment arises spontaneously. The grandfather of the family and the head of the Chen clan walked up to Su Ze and saluted Su Ze respectfully.

Su Ze helped the two of them up, only to hear the old man say: "Ah Ze! This is a century-old effort!"

Even when the old hundred households were there, Changningwei could not repair the river.

Repairing the river is not only a technical job, but also requires people with sufficient prestige to do it. Moreover, the branch of Jianxi flows to Beishan Village, and the repair of the river is not something that Changning Guard can do alone.

Therefore, those who have been able to complete water conservancy construction since ancient times are either local tycoons or local celebrities.

Only the prestige of celebrities can bridge the differences in demands of various forces in the entire water area and repair the river.

Just like this time, Su Zexiu relied on the prestige he built step by step.

Of course everyone knows that it is good to build a river. The clearing and widening of the river means that many water conservancy facilities can be reused, which means that there are dozens of acres of paddy fields in the upper reaches, and Beishan Village does not have to worry about the silting of the river mouth. He Beishan Village is a great thing.

The patriarch of the Chen clan said again: "Mr. Su, you should carve a stele by the river to record the repair of the river and leave it for future generations!"

Everyone agreed. Su Ze thought for a while, and prepared to record the idea of ​​beaming water and attacking sand, and left it for future generations as a reference for river control.

After all, water conservancy facilities are always in constant maintenance.

Su Ze heard that Lin Liangjun was bragging with a few little radishheads. In addition to the children of Changningwei, the children of Beishan Village also blended in here. Lin Liangjun has become the king of children in the two villages.

"Do you know the principle of this beam of water flushing the sand?"

Lin Liangjun asked triumphantly.

The children naturally didn't know and shook their heads one after another.

Lin Liangjun immediately said: "This is the study of Gewu that I, Brother Aze, taught in class!"

Su Ze also stopped, wanting to hear what reason Lin Liangjun could come up with.

"It's like flushing mud with urine! Think about it, if you pee a lot, can you flush the mud away?"

"This cistern is equivalent to holding back a lot of urine. The more you hold back, the more mud you flush! Is this the truth?"

All the children nodded one after another, and then loudly publicized the principle of "holding the urine and flushing the mud" to their families.

Su Ze stared at the golden star, how could this boy explain the method of beaming water and flushing the sand so well!

Fortunately, Lin Mojun also heard Baby Brother's explanation, Lin Baihu caught Xiaoluotou on the spot, and it seemed that he was beaten again after returning.

Su Ze could only pray silently: I hope to focus on the key points, and hope that people are busy.

Coming down from the embankment, Chen Haizhang brought a child to Su Ze, and gave five taels of silver as a tuition fee, begging Su Ze to accept his son.

Chen Haizhang's son is named Chen Liansheng. He is only ten years old but he is not small. Looking at Chen Haizhang's size, this child may not be short if he is well nourished.

Su Ze asked Chen Liansheng a few questions by the way, and the kid was able to answer them well, but Su Ze felt that the kid was qualified to be an officer.

But studying is the way to go these days, and Su Ze accepted the child as promised. Anyway, no matter whether he is in the army or in literature, he needs to study.

Seeing that Su Ze accepted the patriarch's grandson, several wealthy households in Beishan Village also had an idea. They all knew that Su Ze was a famous scholar nearby. Ze will definitely be admitted as a scholar.

Following such scholars would naturally have a bright future, and these rich families also wanted to send their children to study under Su Ze's door.

After returning from the Jianxi River, everyone came to the ancestral hall again, and Lin Xianchun told the old grandfather about the reward from Baizhi County to Changningwei.

Su Ze talked about Yu Zongyuan's shop again, and the atmosphere in the ancestral hall became more heated.

Needless to say, the gold content of the county government clerk position is not to mention. According to the unspoken rules of the county government, even if a clerk is not greedy or profitable, the year-end bonus in the house is nearly twenty taels of silver.

Yamen servants are similar, serving as errands in the county town can also eat wine and meat, these are high-level positions that Chang Ningwei did not even dare to think about before.

As for the shopkeepers of Yu Zongyuan's four shops, Yu Zongyuan's salary is not low, and everyone knows the benefits of being a shopkeeper in the county.

Everyone looked at the old man with eager eyes.

But the old man closed his eyes.

The reason is very simple, these positions are all won by Su Ze, and naturally they can only be assigned by Su Ze.

The old man closed his eyes, and everyone looked at Su Ze. These are seven fat men!

Su Ze cleared his throat and said:

"First of all, the position of county clerk. I'm interested in brother Xianyang, but the position of shopkeeper of Yujia Bookstore is also good. Which one do you prefer, brother Xianyang?"

Lin Xianyang, who was named, was watched by everyone, and everyone's eyes were full of envy.

Lin Xianyang was the first to follow Su Ze, but he didn't expect such a good thing to happen to him.

Lin Xianyang was dazzled by joy, and after a long time he said: "Brother Ze, I want to be an official in the county government."

Su Ze nodded. This is the normal choice. County government officials are elected every five years. If there are no major mistakes, they can stay in office. There are too many old officials.

Although Yujia Bookstore has a generous employment fee, who knows how long it can last.

Su Ze said again: "Brother Deqing is honest and honest, and I also recommend him to Mr. Yu to be the shopkeeper of the pickle shop. Brother Deqing, would you like it?"

Lin Deqing immediately said excitedly: "Yes, yes!"

Lin Deqing is the youngest son of Lin Xianzong. He has not been able to get married because of poverty, and he just does not starve to death while farming at home.

Now working behind Su Ze, you can be the shopkeeper of a shop in the county, and it will definitely not be a problem to marry a wife in the future.

Those who followed Su Ze were in their early years, and everyone looked at them enviously.

Su Ze said again: "Hundred households, the county government officials need to choose strong and strong people. Please choose two outstanding ones from the army."

Lin Mojun nodded. Su Ze gave Lin Mojun the right to recommend two yamen servants, and everyone looked at Baihu with a lot of respect.

Su Ze said to his old grandfather again: "Grandpa, I will personally choose the shopkeeper of this bookstore, and ask Grandpa to help the shopkeepers of the rouge shop and dyeing workshop."

The old grandfather immediately said: "Ah Ze, don't worry, the family ancestral hall will definitely select two stable people to come out, and they will definitely satisfy the second son."

Su Ze doesn't have many people who can use it, so it's better to distribute the opportunities to the ancestral hall and the Hundred Households. Anyway, as long as they are from Changningwei, they will be their own people in the future.

Next, Su Ze left the ancestral hall and came to the movable type printing workshop.

Yao Chun and Xiong Wu have not been lazy these days, and the radicals and individual characters of more than a thousand commonly used characters have been carved.

However, this amount of movable type is only enough to print one page at a time, that is, after one page is typeset and printed, and then the next page is re-typeset and printed, it is naturally too inefficient to print books, but it is better to print tabloids. Just right.

Open the Fuzhou government tabloid that I borrowed from Hai Rui. The first few editions were copied from the yamen mansion newspaper. However, it costs money to copy the mansion newspaper at the yamen mansion. If you don’t get a good relationship, you can’t publish it casually. Su Ze Prepare to cut off this page directly.

If you want to do a page on current affairs, you still have to wait until you have passed the exam to be a scholar.

There are still risks in doing this without fame.

The next few editions of the tabloid are novels and stories, which Su Ze's tabloid plans to print.

However, this tabloid in Fuzhou Prefecture is not in the style of later newspapers, but a bound booklet.

Su Ze wants to save costs, so naturally he will not increase the binding process, so Su Ze decided to imitate modern newspapers and print large sheets directly without cutting.

After handing over the play by Lin Qingcai and Chen Chaoyuan to Yao Chun, Su Ze said:

"These two articles are each printed on a piece of paper, and let me take a look first."

The play written by Lin and Chen is not long, Yao Chun made some calculations and said, "Master, let me try, it should work."

For Su Ze, after the movable type is made, the cost of printing is ink and paper.

Su Ze has already bought the paper. The cheap yellowed paper is cheap, and the cost of a copy is only a few cents.

The ink is made by myself, and the tung oil and other things are all from the Weisuo, and the only cost is the rosin.

Paper in this era can't print on both sides

The typesetting and printing of Su Ze’s servant Yao Chun costs less than a penny for a newspaper.

At the beginning, Su Ze didn't intend to make money. A newspaper was priced at three renminbi, and the main purpose was to expand its influence to the whole county first.

Lifu (porters) who do physical work in the county town also earn twelve taels of silver a year, while poor scholars like Chen Chaoyuan earn around twenty taels of silver a year.

A newspaper of three renminbi is already a price acceptable to middle-class families in the county. Su Ze didn't expect the newspaper to make money at the beginning, as long as he could not lose money.

The cost pricing is almost done, and the next step is the content of the newspaper.

It only sells for three renminbi. Naturally, it is impossible to print as thickly as the Fuzhou government tabloid. Su Ze only plans to make four pages.

Lin and Chen's articles can be used to fill newspapers, as the content of the third and fourth editions.

But the first two layouts must be attractive enough to start sales in the county.

Su Ze thought hard, what kind of articles should be used to attract readers?

poetry? No, poetry in the Ming Dynasty has long been out of fashion, and Su Ze's newspaper is not only aimed at scholars, but focuses on a sinking market.

Ancient prose? That's not for ordinary people either.

Then there are only novels.

Su Ze carefully recalled his knowledge of Lv3 literature skills, and an article came to his mind.

That's it for this article! It's sure to be a hit!

This, everyone says I am short, I also update 8000 words a day...

Since it was put on the shelves, it has never been lower than 8000 a day. It is really not easy for me with a handicap!

There are mainly some details to check the information.

To be honest, this kind of essay is much more difficult to write than Chaotang essay. You have to read local chronicles, various historical materials, and Ming people’s notes to write about the appearance of that era.

I made a lot of mistakes in this way, thank you for correcting me!

Fat Bird's last book was Chao Tangwen, as long as it was key government, it was easier to write than this one, and reading history books and biographies was basically enough.

This book was much harder to write than I imagined.

But thank you for your love, the results are also the best since Fat Bird wrote the book, I will try my best to give you time to add more code words!

The updated word count alone is much better than the previous version! !

The plot is also speeding up, begging for a monthly ticket with a straight face
