Three Kingdoms

When Liu Bei arrived at the General Office, Fei Qian had a headache.

Is it a major military and political matter for the family, the country, and the world?

No, some things are also very trivial and humble.

Fei Qian is like a parent who has to be a father and a mother at the same time. He has to pay attention to everything big and small. Although he doesn't necessarily have to handle it personally, he can't say that he is completely laissez-faire and doesn't care about anything.

This time, Fei Qian had a headache not because of one or two people, but because of a large group of people. To put it bluntly, it was the current problems and future plans of Chang'an City.

The future of Chang'an will definitely be more prosperous and naturally more crowded. A municipal governor without vision will inevitably lead to various congestions and bottlenecks in the urban development process.

The most complicated thing now is also the simplest thing, which is water.

and a large amount of garbage discharged into the water.

Fei Qian did not expect that he, a time traveler, would have a headache for water and debris, but now Chang'an is indeed facing such a problem.

After all, Chang'an now has a larger population base...

Once a city expands, it must have supporting facilities, among which water conservancy facilities are undoubtedly the top priority. After all, humans and plants cannot live without water, and they cannot survive without water.

In the Han Dynasty, water conservancy in the Guanzhong area had already been relatively comprehensively developed, and it occupied the primary position in terms of scale and efficiency at that time. The Jing, Wei, Luo and other water systems had all been developed. , in addition to the original Zhengguo Canal, there are also large water conservancy channels such as Longshou Canal, Bai Canal, and Liupu Canal.

The canals used to irrigate farmland are relatively simple. The main issues are sedimentation and canal maintenance.

Longshou Canal is the earliest water canal, and what is interesting is that Longshou Canal is an underground canal. It can also be regarded as the ancestor of the later "karez" in the northwest. Because the ground the Longshou Canal passes through is loose and the canal banks are prone to collapse, so the working people of the Han Dynasty dug seven miles underground and penetrated Shangyan Mountain. It is also the world's first underground tunnel water conservancy system.

Longshou Canal has been in use for two to three hundred years, and it is an underground channel. Zao Zhi has already sent people to investigate, and some places need to be renovated...

The situation in Liupu Canal and Baiqu is better, but there are still problems.

Liupu Canal is mainly used to irrigate farmland. It plays a decisive role in farmland irrigation in the Weibei region. However, because it is short in length and connected to Zhengguo Canal, it is not taken seriously. Some people even think that it is Zheng Guoqu died.

The Bai Canal was built in the second year of Taishi, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It is located to the south of the Zheng Guo Canal. Together with the Zheng Guo Canal, it formed the two main canals in the north and south of the Jing Jing Irrigation Area, forming a relatively sustainable and stable large-scale irrigation system in dryland agricultural areas, making the farmland in the Chang'an area Obtaining a high yield also means that it has become the most important grain-producing area in Guanzhong.

In addition to the above canals, there are also Chengguo Canal, Lingzhen Canal, etc., which together build a huge water conservancy system. Although these water channels are helpful for production and transportation, there is a very troublesome thing, which is the sedimentation in the water...

Jingshui is the most serious.

It is often said that a stone in Jingshui contains several buckets of sand. However, everyone knows that there is a lot of sand in Jingshui, so it needs to be cleaned regularly. On the contrary, it is not easy to form siltation. On the contrary, relatively good water systems such as the Wei River are easily ignored, resulting in the accumulation of sediment in Kunming Pool above the Wei River.

Kunming Pool was the "water lung" of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty.

As for this "scuba", in addition to siltation, it also faces garbage pollution.

In the early Han Dynasty, Chang'an's main urban water supply still used the facilities left over from the Qin Dynasty, namely the famous "Hao Chi", which was the Hao Capital of the Zhou Dynasty.

Later, due to the expansion of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty and the dense population, the size of Haochi was somewhat insufficient, so Kunming Pond was built. Kunming Pool draws in the Fengshui and Lishui tributaries of the Wei River, connects to the Haochi in the north, and receives the Lingshui in the lower part. Then it passes through the Cangchi and Cao Canal of Weiyang Palace, making the entire city of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty full of aura and vitality.

The vast Kunming Pool was a recreational place for emperors and nobles. During the Western Han Dynasty, it was common to see boats on the rippling green lake and hundreds of boats playing in the waves. Various orchards near Kunming Pool were also often used as a venue for wedding ceremonies. A place for grand banquets...

Human beings appreciate beauty and love cleanliness, but they also produce garbage and excrete filth.

And for humans, what is the most convenient way to dispose of garbage?

Naturally, it is most convenient to throw it away "casually".

It's chic and fast. Anyway, it's behind your butt. If you can't see it, then no one can see it.

This habit may have been developed when humans were in primitive society, and it is quite difficult to eradicate. At that time, humans had not yet developed a settled lifestyle, and they mainly relied on hunting and gathering to make a living. Primitive humans often migrated and left the camps where they lived before in order to hunt prey or collect crops, so this was a throwaway model. There is no big problem, but when humans enter a settled lifestyle, the disadvantages of this method become apparent.

This is the biggest headache for Fei Qian. After all, the water in Kunming Pool is also the water source that Fei Qian wants to drink. The problem of sediment is caused by nature, and the garbage is caused by humans themselves...

Not to mention other things, Chang'an has already exceeded 100,000 people. It will be no problem to exceed 200,000 people in more than ten or twenty years, and it may even reach 300,000. However, even if the number of 200,000 to 300,000 people is just that every day The amount of garbage produced by eating and drinking is quite huge.

How to deal with garbage around Chang'an now?

Landfilling and accumulation, plus burning.

Open-air garbage dumps were planned on the edge of the city, and then the Han people transferred the garbage to these open-air garbage dumps. Since the garbage dumps accumulated a large amount of organic and inorganic matter, they rotted and decomposed under the sunlight, producing a lot of sulfides. and flammable gases, resulting in spontaneous combustion and minor explosions from time to time...

What’s even more serious is that some of these landfill accumulation sites are right next to the water!

This is crazy...

Isn't it better to be lucky?

Fei Qian didn't know what to say. It was like having a baby in the house and immediately giving you a new decoration after a little neglect.

Moreover, there is far more than just one Erha, but a group, a large group.

Then secretly pee and poop into the ditch...

Even though there are patrols on patrol and fines are imposed on those caught, many people still secretly seek convenience, such as washing the toilet directly in the ditch...

So Feiqian is now preparing to implement a more stringent "dirty order".

"Anyone who breaks through the wall and releases filth with a sixty stick and pours it into the canal will be treated in the same way. Anyone who does not restrain it will be punished in the same way." 』

If you don’t fight, you won’t have a long memory!

But this alone is not enough.

Because it is not just ordinary people who pollute, but also a large number of nobles.

In the main city of Chang'an and the surrounding Five Tombs, there are many residences of officials and nobles who cut off the water channels into their houses, and then discharged the filth directly and flowed downstream.

Chang'an City also has culverts for sewage discharge, but because some culverts are in disrepair, many people are too lazy to clean them after they become clogged, so they discharge them directly into the culverts.

Therefore, directly punishing the ordinary people cannot completely solve the problem of water source and water quality pollution. It must also deal with changing the habits of the children of the gentry, and it must rely entirely on Fei Qian alone, or let Fei Qian bear the responsibility for these clean-ups. , and then these gentry children sit back and enjoy the benefits, which is too cheap for these guys.

Fei Qian thought about it for a while and thought of an idea, so he called Huang Xu and gave a few instructions. Huang Xu nodded in understanding and went down to tell his men to take care of it.

When Huang Xu came back, he brought back a piece of news that surprised Fei Qian. Liu Bei was standing outside the mansion, asking for forgiveness.

Fei Qian was a little surprised.

After pondering for a moment, Fei Qian nodded, simply stood up and walked out.

Fei Qian has always believed that it is not that easy to subdue Liu Bei.

Because of interests.

There are no eternal enemies or friends, only eternal interests.

The interests of Fei Qian and Liu Bei have never been able to find a suitable convergence point. How could Liu Bei bow to him at the head and immediately kneel down and hug his thigh?

Xu Huang is from the Battle of Baibo, Zhao Yun is from the Black Mountain Army, Taishi Ci is a little bit transformed from Taishi Ming, not to mention Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, basically these outstanding generals under Fei Qian , they all either have a relatively long period of accumulation with Fei Qian, or have the same interests and goals as Fei Qian, but Liu Bei is different.

Liu Bei and Fei Qian did not have much friendship. It can even be said that Liu Bei and Fei Qian were on opposite sides at the beginning, and their conflicts were serious. Coupled with Liu Bei's ambition...

However, Fei Qian believes that Liu Bei's ambition is not born with it, but is slowly cultivated in the day after tomorrow, or it is an evolution under the influence of circumstances.

After all, Liu Bei was a libertine who liked to play horses and fight dogs in beautiful clothes at the beginning. He had a straight temper and could not swallow any grievances. He did not change until he suffered setbacks later. However, he did not say that Liu Bei had to think about it when he was in Chibi. Wanting to be the King of Hanzhong, or some kind of king, was gradually promoted by his subordinates at a later stage.

After all, under the circumstances at that time, if Liu Bei did not become the king, he would be lower than the King of Wei. Perhaps people in later generations would think that the title is not important, but for the people of the Han Dynasty, it was very important.

Therefore, the current Liu Bei is definitely ambitious, but he has not reached the level where he must be king and hegemony, so he can still be trained. However, Fei Qian did not expect Liu Bei to make a decision so quickly.

Outside the government office, a lot of people had gathered unconsciously.

China, this can be regarded as a fine tradition. It is like the roads on both sides of the isolation belt are blocked at the same time. One is blocked due to car accidents, and the other is blocked for spectators...

In front of the Yamen of Huqi Mansion, it was no less than the scene of a large-scale car accident. The crowds of spectators quickly blocked the surrounding area, and they consciously kept a certain distance, as if they had set up a stage invisibly. Same.

And in the center of the "stage" is Liu Bei, who is asking for forgiveness.

There is also Fei Qian coming slowly.

Liu Bei is very smart, even smarter than most smart people. He understands what Fei Qian needs and how to do his best. In other words, Liu Bei is a person with a very high natural emotional intelligence. As long as he is willing to do it, he will definitely make others feel comfortable.

Like now.

The contradictions and conflicts between Liu Bei and Fei Qian are not only understood by Liu Bei himself, but Liu Bei also knows that Fei Qian also understands it, and even other people understand it the same way. Therefore, it is impossible for Liu Bei to get Fei Qian without resolving these contradictions and conflicts. If you really take it seriously, you won't get a good status, let alone any future development.

To resolve these conflicts, verbal promises alone were not enough, because they were too weak, so Liu Bei took action.

Asking for forgiveness is undoubtedly the best way to act.

Not just anyone can carry a thorn stick on his back, and not everyone can laugh off his guilt if he apologizes. The key is still two words, benefit.

Otherwise, why would we need the law? If something goes wrong and we can't escape, wouldn't we just "please bear the blame"?

According to ancient legends, Lian Po and Lin Xiangru are the sum of generals and prime ministers, but in fact, this is not the case. Strictly speaking, they should be the "sum of generals and generals."

People who have read "Historical Records" may find that Sima Qian likes to write the same type of people together, such as "Historical Records: Biography of Laozi and Han Fei", and "Historical Records: Biography of Bai Qi and Wang Jian", which talks about Bai Qi and According to Wang Jian's deeds, these two were famous military strategists during the Warring States Period. They were able to fight and kill. They were also super powerful commanders who could control an army alone.

The deeds of Lin Xiangru are included in "Historical Records·Biography of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru". In addition to recording the historical deeds of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru, it also records the deeds of Zhao She and Li Mu.

Since Lian Po, Zhao She, Li Mu and Lin Xiangru are written together, it shows that the three of them have many similarities with Lin Xiangru, then is Lin Xiangru really a weak scholar?

Obviously not. It can also be seen from the Mianchi meeting. Lin Xiangru asked the King of Qin to also play the fou for the King of Zhao. The King of Qin was unwilling, so Lin Xiangru threatened the King of Qin, "Within five steps, Xiangru will be able to splash blood on the king's neck." ! ” Then King Qin had no choice but to knock the number to make up the number.

How could the King of Qin feel threatened if he was a weak scholar with no power to restrain a chicken? After all, King Qin also had guards around him at that time, but Lin Xiangru just stared angrily and scared off King Qin's guards...

Therefore, Lian Po had a quarrel with Lin Xiangru because his power to command the army was threatened. When Lin Xiangru said that I would no longer lead the army, all the soldiers would be led by Lian Po, but Lian Po needed to obey the command, Lian Po naturally I understand it with my heart and apologize for my sins.

The same is true for Fei Qian and Liu Bei.

The biggest difference between Liu Bei and Fei Qian is not the ambition to successfully establish a career, because this kind of ambition, or desire, is shared by everyone who is unwilling to be ordinary, so this is not a key issue.

It's a matter of ownership.

Cao Cao invited Liu Bei to ride with him, and asked in a roundabout way on the bus if Liu Bei would like to be subordinated to him. Liu Bei refused. So when Dong Cheng came to the door, Liu Bei couldn't even fully judge whether this was a trap dug by Cao Cao. , so I simply ran away...

Liu Biao invited Liu Bei to join him at the banquet, and used insinuations to test whether Liu Bei was willing to accept him as the leader. Liu Bei also refused, so Liu Biao finally threw Liu Bei into a corner to serve as an early warning device to block and isolate Cao Cao's forces. If not for the later Sichuan and Shu After the change, Liu Bei is afraid that he is still trapped in the small town...

Fei Qian and Liu Bei originally had issues of mutual ownership, but now, with the establishment of the Xijing Secretariat, the obstacle that originally stood between the two people has quietly become smaller.

When everyone today recognizes Fei Qian's "legitimate" authority, what else can Liu Bei say? Being under Fei Qian, to a certain extent, is equivalent to being owned by the Emperor of Han. So what else can Liu Bei hold on to?

Obviously Fei Qian also knew this, so he summoned Liu Bei after establishing the Xijing Shangshutai, and asked Liu Bei to take a closer look and think about it.

Liu Bei knew that if he refused again this time, he would be just like Liu Biao, and he would be thrown into a trap and unable to stand up. If Dingze can really produce a large amount of iron, then Liu Bei still has some hope through the mine. However, Liu Bei's hope has been part of Fei Qian's calculations for a long time. When Fei Qian said that he had known it for a long time, When Dingzuo's iron was difficult to smelt, Liu Bei understood...

Dingze is a big pit, big enough to hold Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and others. If the lifeline of Sichuan and Sichuan was pinched in the barren mountains and forests around Dingze, it would really be a disaster! There's no place to even run!

Fortunately, Liu Bei knew that he still had value.

It was this reputation that he had, this status as a relative of the emperor that Liu Xie personally recognized! Just like Cao Cao and Liu Biao back then, Fei Qian, or anyone else, would like to receive the blessing of such a "horse bone of a thousand gold pieces".

So, after much thought, Liu Bei came carrying thorn sticks on his back.

Fei Qian smiled and walked forward slowly in the eyes of everyone. He took out the two thorns with his own hands and threw them aside. Then he untied his robe from himself and put it on for Liu Bei with his own hands...

The crowd of melon eaters watching suddenly burst into cheers that shook the sky.

"The sages of ancient times still made mistakes, how much more so today's people?" It is a great blessing to know and change it..."

Fei Qian took Liu Bei, and together they faced the onlookers and talked.

The surrounding onlookers also let out bursts of sighs from time to time, seeming to be talking about the beautiful things that happened to Lin Xiangru and Lian Po in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, and now it has happened again to Fei Qian and Liu Bei in Guanzhong...

There was a smile on Liu Bei's face, still the kind of gentle smile, but his eyes slowly fell on the two thorns in the dust beside him. He knew that the two thorns had names on them. It says "pride", and one says "persistence"...
