40 040 Entering Beijing
◎Comfortable. There is nothing bad about Beijing.◎
Faced with Mo Yu's somewhat unrealistic idea, System 006 expressed his anger, but the onlookers were very excited.
Especially the river governor Zhang.
This Governor Zhang is a dark, thin and capable Sichuanese. His Sichuan-accented Mandarin is very attractive, which makes Mo Yu dream back to college instantly-his brother on the shop floor is from Sichuan. He spent four years in college with greetings from "turtle son" and "Japanese".
Therefore, when Mo Yu heard this Zhang speak, he felt very cordial for a moment.
But after listening carefully to what this Zhang said, Mo Yu was a little confused again-what is this gentleman talking about? How come he didn't understand at all?
Seeing Mo Yu in a daze, Governor Zhang was a little embarrassed. Although he had been mentally prepared, he was still a little excited because this was the first time he heard the rumored young master of the Lin family speak his mind.
Then he couldn't control himself and spoke a long paragraph of Sichuan dialect - not the Sichuanese Mandarin that could barely be understood, but the dialect of Pengxi, Suining, his hometown... Well, it was basically difficult to understand.
Although he didn't understand it very well, the sense of intimacy was still there, so Mo Yu looked through the life of this Governor Zhang in his "brain". Unexpectedly, you don't know until you read it, and you will be shocked when you see it. Although there are only a few words in the history books, it has already outlined the life of a big man and a tyrant who makes people respect him.
It turns out that Governor Zhang was smart since childhood and had a profound family background. He passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi in his early twenties, and left his hometown in Sichuan to enter the official career.
He served in the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of War, the Dali Temple, the History Bureau, and the Ministry of Revenue. He also served as the prefect of Suzhou, the governor of Zhejiang, and the governor of Liangjiang. After the death of Master Kang, he was promoted to the Grand Scholar of Wenhua Palace in the year when the fourth master ascended the throne, which is the legendary "prime minister". He was known as the "Prime Minister of Suining".
Looking back on the official career of the old man over the past few decades, it can be said that he has rich experience and outstanding achievements. He can basically be promoted quickly, and all of them are important positions. It is really amazing.
Mo Yu sighed and realized that Governor Zhang had left home at a young age, traveled to so many places, and served as an official for so many years. He had already mastered the Sichuanese Mandarin, and he probably hadn't spoken his hometown dialect for a long time.
Why did he suddenly speak his hometown dialect?
Was it because something suddenly got him excited?
Although he still didn't know why Governor Zhang was so excited, Mo Yu's idea this time was at least on the right track.
Governor Zhang could indeed speak fluent Sichuanese Mandarin, at least the kind that didn't affect communication. If he wasn't so excited today, he wouldn't have spoken the difficult dialect of his hometown.
Although it looked like he was gesticulating and talking a lot, he actually didn't say anything special. He was just showing his excitement and wanted to know more about what the "cement" that Mo Yu was talking about was.
Unfortunately, due to some mysterious power, he couldn't ask directly.
This caused him to get stuck several times, so he couldn't understand what he was saying...
Mo Yu was embarrassed, and Lord Zhang was even more embarrassed than him. Only Master Kang, who had been watching for a long time, couldn't help laughing after a while and said to Governor Zhang: "Zhang Penghe, Zhang Penghe, I didn't expect you to have this day."
Zhang Penghe was the nickname of this river governor.
Mo Yu quickly found the birth date of this Governor Zhang in the character profile pushed by System 006.
[I didn't expect that Governor Zhang is only five years older than Master Kang. But compared to Master Kang who still looks like a middle-aged uncle, how come you look like an old man? ]
[Sure enough, top students have their own troubles, right? ]
[Will studying too hard also accelerate aging? ]
[No, Master Kang seems to love studying too. It must be related to maintenance, right? ]
[Running around on duty must be very tiring... For workers, isn't it normal to look old? ]
Mo Yu complained silently, not noticing that the surroundings suddenly became quiet again - Governor Zhang's dark and thin cheeks gradually turned red, while Master Kang's white and plump face showed a smile.
Hey, the little kid from the Lin family said that I look young?
Old Zhang laughed, I win this time...
Seeing that Master Kang and Governor Zhang, two elders in their fifties who were usually very dignified, were actually arguing like children about who looked younger, everyone tried hard not to laugh.
At the same time, they pricked up their ears and waited for the next words.
But Mo Yu did not continue to express his inner voice.
Because the next part was the content he did not like very much, that is, the ending.
Although Governor Zhang looked very old, surprisingly, he died three years later than Master Kang. In other words, although he looked like this, this Lord Zhang lived eight years longer than Master Kang, the "Emperor of the Ages" who was famous for his longevity. One has to admire that his body is really good.
At this moment, Mo Yu could also feel the vigorous vitality in him. The old man looked dark and thin, but his eyes were bright and his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if he was always thinking and preparing for battle. He was really a typical Sichuan Army spirit...
In particular, he had a very good reputation as an official throughout his life. Since he became the governor of the river three years ago, he has devoted himself to the cause of controlling the Yellow River floods. He rides a horse to the embankment to inspect every day, regardless of wind, sun, rain or shine. It is really admirable. As
a salted fish worker, Mo Yu has always kept a distance from this kind of talent, but the respect is also real. After all, this person is really dedicated to the people and has no black spots.
At least not yet.
Therefore, Mo Yu did not feel unhappy, and it was quite interesting to watch Master Kang and Governor Zhang bickering.
However, he did not expect that the quarrel would turn into his own.
The cause of the incident was that Master Kang suddenly "translated" Governor Zhang's question, which Mo Yu did not understand. It
turned out that Governor Zhang wanted to ask him if there was any way to strengthen the embankment quickly, well and cheaply. But
why did he ask that?
The question hit the nail on the head - why did he use "again"?
Emma, these ancient people are really too smart. Do I need to say anything in the future, and they will be able to understand my thoughts?
Thinking about it this way, it is really scary.
It happened that at this time, System 006 suddenly increased the output of information, and the doubts in Mo Yu's heart were directly dispelled before they had time to ferment.
It turned out that this time System 006 gave professional books on cement production methods and water conservancy projects - is it that even the system is so evasive now?
What water conservancy project... I don't think I asked?
Okay, then I will pack them all together and give them to Master Zhang...
Mo Yu just turned this thought in his mind, and saw Governor Zhang rushing in front of him at some point, his eyes were red and tears had already welled up in his eyes. Looking at his expression, it was as if he had seen a lifesaver.
Mo Yu couldn't stand this scene a bit, but fortunately Master Kang, the Fourth Prince, the Thirteenth Prince and others stepped forward to rescue him, which finally prevented the scene from becoming more sensational.
Then Master Kang asked Mo Yu very naturally if he had found a good solution, and it seemed that he was more and more comfortable with his so-called "divine" setting.
Mo Yu was once again moved by the wisdom and mentality of the ancients, and the next time became his one-man show .
The formula of cement is simple, but the raw materials are not easy to find. Fortunately, Master Kang is here. As soon as he gave an order, someone got the order and quickly found all the raw materials needed to make cement.
The next moment is to witness the miracle.
Mo Yu successfully made cement according to the cement formula recommended to him by System 006.
When the onlookers saw this magical scene, they were all stunned.
Then there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers - Master Kang and Governor Zhang didn't even need to judge, everyone saw how useful this magical "God-given" thing was.
Not to mention the dike, if it was used to reinforce the city wall and defend the trenches, who knows how good it would be...
Speaking of fighting, Master Kang liked it the most. As soon as he saw the cement, he knew it was also an important strategic material, so why not quickly send a batch to the troops stationed in various regions?
With the elites of the Sticking Rod Department, it was easy to pass on a few messages, and Master Kang quickly arranged everything.
And because of the activity of cement, the dike reinforcement problem that troubled Master Kang and Governor Zhang for many years was finally solved.
Even the speed of the return trip was much faster, and the extra time was of course used for sightseeing.
In this way, Master Kang's biggest worry was solved. The solution to the problem was already there, and the only thing left was a matter of time.
The rest of the journey was very smooth.
Everyone went north all the way, and finally arrived in the capital on the 14th day of the third lunar month.
Because it was late spring, the weather was getting warmer, and the capital was full of new green, which made people feel happy.
Master Kang brought the prince, the queen and the court officials into the palace, and Mo Yu followed Lin Ruhai, Jia Min and Xiao Daiyu back to the old house of the Lin family in the capital.
Although the journey was tiring, Mo Yu was in good spirits. His sister Xiao Daiyu was also in good spirits. Although she had been traveling all the way, she was not ill, which showed that the doctor she had found before was right.
The four of them got on the same carriage. As the carriage drove into the Lin Mansion in the capital, Mo Yu couldn't help but widen his eyes.
[Oh my! I didn't expect that the Lin family's house in the capital is so good! Is this the life of the nobility? ]
[Even the house has been cleaned in advance, and you can lie down and sleep directly when you go in. My mother is really amazing. ]
[I have to lie down and sleep quickly, but my father is so tired...]
Although Lin Ruhai and others have been accustomed to Mo Yu's nagging voice, it is still quite specific to listen to it all the time.
Fortunately, something new soon attracted Mo Yu's attention.
Because at this time, the steward suddenly came in and said, "The housekeeper's wife of the Jia family of Duke Rong wants to see you."
Mo Yu immediately became energetic when he heard it.
Emma, I haven't eaten melons for a long time, and I don't know who is coming this time?
I don't know if there is any interesting gossip.
