Chapter 178 Ferris Waterwheel
After Wang Shouren became the head of the Ministry of Justice, he read many cases of the Ministry of Justice and re-invested, and the truth was revealed.
But the more he checked, the more he hesitated.
“This is not the way to the saint.”
Even if you turn all the unjust cases in the world over, you will be able to make your life for the people who cannot live in life.
The root cause is endless, and unjust cases continue.
Compared with Brother Gao's move to place tens of thousands of refugees, the effect is minimal.
Brother Gao’s actions are the true way to establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a life for life, inherit the unique knowledge for the past sages, and bring peace to the ages.
In Brother Gao, there seems to be an unusual way to break all the confinements.
Wang Shouren carried a burden and decided to go to Liangxiang.
Although I no longer investigated things, when I arrived in Liangxiang County, my eyes were still dull and unable to move.
The scorching sun is in the sky, and you can't open your eyes when you look up.
I saw thousands of refugees working in the fields of the countryside, and a round of water trucks were set up on the canal shore, and the water was sparkling.
This scene is better than that of Jiangnan.
In just ten days, under the organization of Zhang Xian, the refugees dug out a three-mile-long canal. This canal is six feet wide and is winding around, and it is enough to irrigate thousands of acres of good land.
When doing their own work, the refugees wanted to rest, and without Zhang Xian's urging, they came to the canal to work before sunrise, digging soil, transporting stones, and consolidating the embankments on both sides.
Wang Shouren stopped and looked for a long time before continuing to walk towards the county town.
Liangxiang County is very small, but it is bustling. With his understanding of the county, there will never be so many people coming to a small county.
Wang Shouren went straight to Liangxiang Yamen, looked around, and found a small courtyard next to him.
Dongdong...
When the door opened, Wang Shouren hurriedly said, "I'm going to find Lord Yan."
He had seen him and knew that he was the young master in the same year, so he opened the door and let him in.
This guy opened the halo of the saint again? Yan Chengjin was surprised: "How did Bo'an know that I am here?"
"The only place in Liangxiang is the safest place. I guess below, Brother Gao is here." Wang Shouren said in a little ashamed.
Wang Yangming is the one who knows that I am in trouble.
"Boan came to find me...is there something wrong?"
Wang Shouren bowed and felt a little ashamed: "I would like to ask Brother Gao, how to establish a life for the people, bring peace to the ages, and how to become a saint?"
Tens of thousands of refugees gathered in Liangxiang, but not only did they fail to destroy Liangxiang, but instead flourished.
Wang Shouren understands.
From relocating refugees to promoting the implementation of the stakes in the mu today, it seems unintentional, but every step is that Brother Gao's scheming camp is always on the scheming.
If Brother Gao is not sure about being a human being, he will never rashly advise and bring refugees to the good town, which shows that Brother Gao has already had a complete plan.
It is hard for a second person to do it in the world.
What Brother Gao did was to establish his life for life and to bring peace to the ages.
Yan Chengjin was stunned, and Wang Shouren was still persevering in pursuing the way of the saint.
You ask me how to become a saint, how do I answer you...
The only saint I have ever met in my life is you.
Yan Chengjin thought for a while: "You should not only take the principles of the saint as the principles. There are still many principles in the world that have not been understood by the saints.
The unity of knowledge and action may make people understand the principles other than the principles of saints, but knowing but not practicing them can not be called true knowledge.
The best way to integrate knowledge and action is to practice things!
Everything can be refined, and if you do this, maybe... everyone can become a saint."
Scholars are confined to the principles of saints and think that there is no other reason in the world except for the principles of saints.
These are what Wang Shouren said.
Yan Chengjin just spoiled it.
Wang Shouren stood in a daze for a long time.
Morning court,
After Liangxiang promoted the implementation of the taxi-stakes in the acres, the court ministers occasionally talked about it, but no one talked about it in the court.
Yan Chengjin was puzzled. The ministers clearly knew that it was his proposed ditches, but no one asked about it. This was strange.
On the official road two miles away from Liangxiang, Yan Chengjin asked someone to stop the sedan chair and stand next to the official road.
Looking around, refugees were working in the fields.
The summer tax will be collected soon.
"Liangxiang has successively implemented new commercial tax and field tax. If Qixia tax cannot be paid, what should we use to convince Emperor Hongzhi to promote the world?"
Yan Cheng Jinxin thought not only to pay, but also to make up for the taxes that had been abolished over the years, which surprised Emperor Hongzhi.
It takes a lot of silver.
"The Little Ice Age will get colder and colder after the winter begins. The road is covered with snow, so the merchants will definitely reduce a lot. To be cautious, we should reserve some silver now."
The treasury in Liangxiang comes from land tax and commercial tax. It is hard to say how much land empowerment is paid now.
The commercial tax has just reformed and immediately increased the collection, which seems a bit unkind.
Yan Chengjin fell into deep thought.
From a distance, Liangxiang is surrounded by buildings, like an isolated island standing among the fields, but it seems that there is nothing missing.
"Take the pen and paper from the sedan chair."
"Young Master, give it!"
Yan Chengjin sketched on the spot, observed politics at the Ministry of Works, and learned the ability to draw with his hand, and drew according to the general appearance of Liangxiang County.
"Young Master's circle is so well drawn."
Yan Chengjin himself felt satisfied.
After getting into a sedan chair and entering Liangxiang County, Yan Chengjin found Song Jing.
"Let all the craftsmen help me create something."
Song Jing looked at the drawings and could vaguely see that it was Liangxiang. Next to Liangxiang, there was a huge thing, taller than all the buildings, the size of a half mountain.
"Sir, do you want to make a big water truck?"
"This is a skyscraper water truck. The structure is like a water truck, but it is very different from a water truck. People are sitting on top of it."
Song Jing was a little confused: "...Who will sit on him?"
"I don't know. Just do it. I'll use iron on the base of the lower head, otherwise it will not hold on. It will snow soon. As soon as winter begins, no one will sit."
The structure of the Ferris wheel is very similar to that of the water wheel. It uses iron bases underneath, and wood is used throughout the Ferris, which is not technically difficult.
Song Jing went to the yamen house to ask for money.
It is so big that a water truck is used to sit in a person, and if you have any brains, the clerk in the household did not dare to give money, but went to Zhang Xian.
"Sir, the young man has an objection to this money." The clerk Xu Sheng handed over the drawing: "This person said he would build such a large water truck in Liangxiang."
"This is what Lord Yan means." Yan Chengjin asked him to come to the yamen to ask for money.
Zhang Xian took the drawing and took a look. He had to use imagination to see that this was a water truck.
"How much is the silver?"
"It costs at least eight hundred taels."
Song Jing calculated the wages and wood of craftsmen, and it was quite cheap in Liangxiang.
Zhang Xian felt uncomfortable as if he had been cut into pieces of meat, "I'm a waste of money, give it to him."
These days, Yan Chengjin has supervised the worker in Liangxiang County. The craftsmen are masters. Everyone knows the water truck. Isn’t it just a little bigger?
The cast iron master creates a huge base.
A few days later, hundreds of people carried a giant to the southwest open space in Liangxiang.
"From the official road from the capital to Liangxiang, this place is the best from a distance, half hidden and half visible." Yan Chengjin thought to himself.
Zhang Xian was stunned. He had never seen such a big water truck in his life.
After hearing this, the gentry from Liangxiang came to watch and followed the giant water truck to the southwest open space in Liangxiang.
No one knows what this is except Yan Chengjin.
Skyscrapers, a new landmark in Liangxiang!
A city has a landmark, and a soul.
Just like when you see Tiananmen Square, you will think of Beijing, when you see the goddess raising your hand, you will think of Country M, when you see the Victory Gate, you will think of Country F, when you see the Sleepy Tower, you will think of Yi Dali.
Speaking of the skyscraper, you will think of Liangxiang.
The base of the iron frame is relatively high and has a height difference. Thousands of craftsmen use huge ropes to hang it up and put it on the base.
No electricity, purely handmade Ferris wheel...ingenious braking.
Zhang Xian was surprised: "Sir, is this?"
"Liangxiang's new income-generating project can be seen with a panoramic view of Liangxiang, five cents of silver per person, and walk twice." Yan Chengjin felt very conscientious.
There are many who only go around one circle, but he gives away one more circle.
Wang Busui, who was beside him, heard it and shouted as he said.
Chapter completed!
