Chapter 1906 The dirt needs to be cleared, and the burden needs to be asked
When Liu Bei arrived at the General''s Office, Fei Qian was having a headache.
Is the family, country and the world all important military and political affairs?
No, some things are trivial and humble.
Fei Qian is like the head of a family, and then he has to be a father and a mother. He has to pay attention to big and small things. Although he doesn''t have to deal with it himself, it can''t be said that he is completely laissez-faire and doesn''t care about anything.
This time, Fei Qian’s headache was not caused by 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.
Chang''an''s future will definitely be more prosperous, and it will naturally be more crowded. A city governor who has no vision will inevitably lead to various congestion and bottlenecks in the process of urban development.
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 never imagined that as a traveler, he would have a headache because of water and sundries, but now Chang''an is indeed facing such a problem.
After all, the population base of Chang’an is large now...
Once a city expands, it must have supporting facilities. Among them, water conservancy is undoubtedly the most important thing. After all, people and plants cannot live without water.
In the Han Dynasty, the water conservancy in the Guanzhong area had already been relatively comprehensively developed, and it occupied the primary position at that time, both in terms of scale and efficiency, and the Jing, Wei, Luo and other water systems were 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 for irrigating farmland are simpler, mainly due to the problems of sedimentation and canal maintenance.
Longshou Canal is the earliest water canal, and it is very interesting that Longshou Canal is still an underground channel, and it can be regarded as the ancestor of the "Kanat" in the northwest. Because the ground where the Longshou Canal passes is loose and the canal bank is prone to collapse, the working people of the Han Dynasty dug seven miles from the ground and pierced Shangyan Mountain. It is also the world''s first underground tunnel water conservancy system.
Longshou Canal has been used for two to three hundred years, and it is an underground channel. Zaozhi has sent people to investigate, and some places need to be repaired...
The situation of Liupuqu and Baiqu is better, but there are problems.
The Liupu Canal is mainly used to irrigate farmland, and it plays a pivotal role in the irrigation of farmland in the Weibei area. However, because it is short in length and connected to the Zhengguo Canal, it is not taken seriously. Some people even think it is Zheng Guoqu is gone.
The Baiqu, built in the second year of Taishi, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, is located in the south of the Zhengguoqu. Together with the Zhengguoqu, the two main canals in the north and south of the Yinjing irrigation area have been built, forming a relatively sustainable and stable large-scale irrigation system in the dryland agricultural area, making the farmland in the Chang''an area Obtaining a high yield also represents the formation of the most important grain-producing area in Guanzhong.
In addition to the above canals, there are Chengguo Canal, Lingzhi Canal, etc., which together build a huge water conservancy system. Although these water system channels are said to be helpful for production and transportation, there is a very troublesome thing, which is the sedimentation in the water...
Jingshui is the most serious.
There is often a saying that every stone in Jingshui contains several buckets of sand, but because everyone knows that there is a lot of sand in Jingshui, it needs to be cleaned regularly, but it is not easy to form silt. On the contrary, relatively better water systems such as the Wei River are easily overlooked, resulting in the accumulation of sediment in the Kunming Pool above the Wei River.
Kunming Pool is the "scuba" of Chang''an in the Han Dynasty.
As for this "scuba", the problem faced is not only sedimentation, but also garbage pollution.
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the internal water supply of the main city of Chang''an still used the facilities left over from the Qin Dynasty, which was the famous "Gaochi", which was also the place of the Zhou Dynasty.
Later, due to the expansion of Chang''an in the Han Dynasty and the dense population, the volume of the pick pond was somewhat insufficient, so the Kunming pond was built. The Kunming Pond draws in Fengshui and Weishui, tributaries of the Weihe River, connects with Gaochi in the north, accepts Lishui in the bottom, and then passes through the Cangchi and Cao Canal of Weiyang Palace, filling the entire Han Dynasty Chang''an City with aura and vitality.
The vast and smoky Kunming Pool was a recreational place for emperors and nobles. In the Western Han Dynasty, it was common to see buildings and boats turn green on the rippling lake, and hundreds of boats play with waves. The venue for the grand banquet…
Humans appreciate beauty and love cleanliness, but they also create garbage and excrete filth.
For humans, what is the most convenient way to dispose of garbage?
Naturally, it is most convenient to throw it away "at your fingertips".
It''s chic and fast, anyway, it''s behind the buttocks, if you can''t see it, then no one else can see it.
This habit may be a habit that humans developed when they were in primitive society, and it is quite difficult to eradicate. At that time, humans had not yet developed a settled way of life, and they mainly lived by hunting and gathering. Primitive humans often migrated in order to hunt prey or gather crops, leaving their previous camps, so this easy-to-lose model There is no big problem, but when humans enter a sedentary lifestyle, the disadvantages of this method appear.
Fei Qian''s biggest headache is this. After all, the water in Kunming Pool is also the source of water that Fei Qian wants to drink. The problem of sediment is created by nature, and the garbage is created by human beings...
Not to mention other things, Chang''an has already exceeded 100,000 people, and it will not be a problem to break through 200,000 people in the next ten or twenty years, and it may even reach 300,000. The garbage produced by eating and drinking is a huge amount.
Now how to deal with the garbage around Chang''an?
Landfilling and accumulation, plus burning.
Open-air garbage dumps were planned at the edge of the city, and then the Han people transferred garbage to these open-air garbage dumps. Because the garbage dumps accumulated a large amount of organic and inorganic substances, they rotted and decomposed under the sun, producing many sulfides. and flammable gases, causing spontaneous combustion and minor explosions from time to time...
What''s more serious is that these landfills are piled up, and some of them are actually near the water!
This shit...
Can''t it be transported farther?
Fei Qian didn’t know what to say, it’s like raising Erha at home, a little negligence or something, and then immediately replace it with a new decoration.
And Erha is far more than just one, but a group, a large group.
Then pee sneakily into the drain, shit...
Even though there are patrols and fines if caught, many people still secretly seek convenience, such as washing the toilet directly in the drain or something...
So Fei Qian is now preparing to implement a stricter "pollution order".
『Anyone who passes through a wall and gets out of filth, with a staff of sixty, and whoever pours it into a canal, is the same judge, and whoever is in control of the master is the same crime. 』
If you don’t play, you won’t have a long memory!
But this alone is not enough.
Because it is not only ordinary people who discharge sewage, but also a large number of children of noble families.
In the Chang''an city and the surrounding five tombs, the houses of officials and nobles intercepted the canals to enter the houses, and then directly discharged the pollution, which abounded downstream.
Chang’an City also has underground drains for sewage, but because some of the underground drains have been in disrepair for a long time, many people don’t bother to clean up after congestion, so they are directly discharged into the open drains.
Therefore, directly punishing those ordinary people cannot completely solve the problem of water source and water quality pollution. At the same time, we must also deal with changing the habits of those gentry children, and we must rely on Fei Qian alone, or let Fei Qian bear the responsibility for these cleanups. , Then these gentry children sit back and enjoy the benefits, it is too cheap for these guys.
Fei Qian thought about it for a while, and came up with an idea, so he called Huang Xu and gave some instructions. Huang Xu nodded in understanding, and went down to tell his subordinates to do it.
When Huang Xu came back, he brought back a piece of news that surprised Fei Qian. Liu Bei was outside the gate of the mansion, pleading guilty.
Fei Qian was a little surprised.
After pondering for a moment, Fei Qian nodded, stood up and walked out.
Fei Qian has always believed that it is not so easy to take sleeping clothes, uh, to subdue Liu Bei.
Because of interests.
There are no eternal enemies or friends, only eternal interests.
Before, the interests of Fei Qian and Liu Bei had not been able to find a more suitable meeting point, so how could it be possible for Liu Bei to worship immediately and immediately kneel down and hug his thigh?
Xu Huang is from the Battle of Baibo, Zhao Yun is from the Army of Black Mountain, Tai Shici is from Tai Shiming, not to mention Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, basically the excellent generals under Fei Qian , both have accumulated for a relatively long time with Fei Qian, or have the same interest-related goals as Fei Qian, but Liu Bei is different.
Liu Bei and Fei Qian don''t have much friendship. It can even be said that Liu Bei and Fei Qian were on the opposite side at the beginning, and it was a relatively serious conflict. 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 a kind of evolution under the circumstances.
After all, Liu Bei started out as a libertine who liked to fight horses and dogs in American clothes. He had a straight temper and couldn''t swallow any grievances. He didn''t change until he suffered setbacks, but he didn''t say that when Liu Bei was in Chibi, he had to think about it. If you want to be the king of Hanzhong or some kind of king, you will be put up by your subordinates little by little in the later period.
After all, under the circumstances at that time, if Liu Bei did not claim the title of king, then he would be lower than the king of Wei. Perhaps people in later generations felt that the name was not important, but for the people of the Han Dynasty, it was very important.
So the current Liu Bei must have ambitions, but he has not yet reached the level where he must dominate, so he can still be trained, but Fei Qian did not expect Liu Bei to make a decision so quickly.
Outside the government office, a lot of people have gathered unknowingly.
Huaxia, this is considered a good tradition. It’s like traffic jams on both sides of the isolation zone. One is blocked because of a traffic accident, while the other is blocked because of spectators...
In front of the yamen of the Hussar''s Mansion, it was no less than the scene of a large-scale car accident. After a while, the spectators blocked the surrounding area tightly, and consciously kept a certain distance, as if a stage had been drawn out invisibly. Same.
And in the center of the "stage" is Liu Bei who is pleading guilty.
There is also Fei Qian who is slowly coming.
Liu Bei is smart, even smarter than most smart people. He understands what Fei Qian needs, and he also knows how to be the best. In other words, Liu Bei is a person who is born with a very high 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 clear to Liu Bei himself, Liu Bei also knows that Fei Qian also understands, and even other people also understand the same. Therefore, if these contradictions and conflicts are not resolved, it is impossible for Liu Bei to get Fei Qian If you really value it, you won''t get any good status, let alone any future development.
To resolve these conflicts, verbal promises are not enough, because they are too weak, so Liu Bei took action.
Pleading guilty is undoubtedly the best course of action.
Jingtiao is not something that just anyone can memorize. Pleading guilty may not be able to laugh off the guilt of that person. The key is still two words, interest.
Otherwise, why do we need the law? Wouldn’t it be good to just “plead guilty” if something goes wrong?
Lian Po and Lin Xiangru are said to be the sum of generals and prime ministers in ancient times, but in fact, this is not the case. Strictly speaking, it should be "the sum of generals and prime ministers".
People who have read "Historical Records" may find that Sima Qian likes to write people of the same type together. Wang Jian''s deeds, the two were famous military strategists in the Warring States period, able to fight and kill, and they belonged to the super commander, the kind who controlled an army alone.
The deeds of Lin Xiangru are included in "Historical Records: Biography of Lian Po Lin Xiangru". In addition to the historical deeds of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru, there are also recorded 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, so is Lin Xiangru really a weak scholar?
Obviously not, it can be seen from the Mianchi meeting that Lin Xiangru asked King Qin to also play fou for King Zhao, but King Qin refused, so Lin Xiangru threatened King Qin, "Within five steps, Xiangru, please let the blood on your neck be splashed on the king." ! 』Then King Qin had no choice but to tap to make up the number.
If a feeble scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, can the king of Qin feel threatened? After all, King Qin also had guards around him at the time, but Lin Xiangru just stared angrily, scaring off the King Qin''s guards...
So Lian Po got into trouble with Lin Xiangru because his power to command the troops was threatened. When Lin Xiangru said that Lao Tzu would no longer lead the soldiers, and all the soldiers belonged to Lian Po, but after Lian Po needed to obey the command, Lian Po naturally I understand it, and plead guilty.
The same is true for Fei Qian and Liu Bei.
The biggest difference between Liu Bei and Fei Qian is not the ambition to be successful, because this kind of ambition, or desire, is shared by everyone who is not willing to be ordinary, so this is not the key issue.
is a question of ownership.
Cao Cao invited Liu Bei to be in the same car, and asked Liu Bei on the car whether he would like to belong to his subordinates. Liu Bei refused, so when Dong Cheng came to the door, Liu Bei couldn''t even fully judge whether this was a hole dug by Cao Cao. , so I simply ran away...
Liu Biao invited Liu Bei to sit at the same table, and tested Liu Bei''s willingness to serve himself as the master at the banquet. Liu Bei also shied away, so Liu Biao finally threw Liu Bei into a corner as an early warning to block and isolate Cao Cao''s forces. If it wasn''t for Sichuan and Shu later With such a change, Liu Bei is afraid that he is still trapped in the small town...
Fei Qian and Liu Bei also had the issue of mutual ownership before, but now, with the establishment of the Xijing Shangshutai, such an obstacle that was originally between the two has quietly become smaller.
When today''s emperor recognizes Fei Qian''s "legitimate" authority, what else can Liu Bei say? Belonging to Fei Qian is, to a certain extent, equivalent to belonging to the Son of Heaven, so what else can Liu Bei insist on?
Obviously Fei Qian also knew this, so after the establishment of Xijing Shangshutai, he summoned Liu Bei, and asked Liu Bei to take a look and think about it.
Liu Bei knew that if he refused again this time, he would be thrown in Dingze as if he was on Liu Biao''s side, and it would be difficult to turn over. If Dingruo can really produce a large amount of iron, then Liu Bei still has some hope through the mine. However, Liu Bei''s little expectation has long been in Fei Qian''s calculations. When Fei Qian said that he already knew When Dingze''s iron was not easy to smelt, Liu Bei understood...
Ding Ruo is a big pit, enough to accommodate Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and others. The poor mountains and evil forests around Dingzao, if the lifeline of Sichuan and Shu is pinched, it will be really incompetent! There is nowhere to even run!
Fortunately, Liu Bei knew that he still had value.
It is his reputation, this level of status as a relative of the emperor who is personally recognized by Liu Xie! Just like Cao Cao and Liu Biao back then, Fei Qian, or anyone else, would like to be blessed by such a "thousand gold horse bone".
So, after thinking about it, Liu Bei came with Vitex on his back.
Fei Qian smiled, walked forward slowly under the eyes of everyone, pulled out the two thorns with his own hands, threw them aside, then untied his outer robe from his body, and put it on Liu Bei''s body with his own hands...
The melon-eating crowd onlookers suddenly burst into cheers, and the sound shook the sky.
『The sages of ancient times still had faults, let alone people today? It is great luck to change what you know…”
Fei Qian pulled Liu Bei, and together they faced the crowd of onlookers, talking eloquently.
The surrounding onlookers also let out bursts of exclamation from time to time, as if they were talking about the beautiful things of Lin Xiangru and Lian Po in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, and now they are reproduced in Guan Zhongfeiqian and Liu Bei...
Liu Bei had a smile on his face, still the kind of gentle smile, but his eyes slowly fell on the two wattles in the dust beside him. He knew that there were names on the two wattles, and a "Pride" is written on it, and "Persistence" is written on one...
