Chapter 43 Golden Embankment

"Alang, the curved-column plow and the turning cart are really wonderfully designed. With these two farm tools, my big man's agricultural production will definitely rise to a big level." Huang Yueying looked at the layout of the curved-column plow and the turning cart, looking at them side by side.

Zhuge Liang said.

It was rare for Zhuge Liang to have free time tonight. He did not stay at the Prime Minister's Mansion after his shift in the afternoon. Instead, he returned to his own home to share family happiness with his wife and children. After all, in the middle of Shu, Zhuge Liang only had his own family plus his younger brother Zhuge Jun's family.

There were less than ten people in total, so he would try to accompany them as much as possible whenever he had the chance.

Zhuge Liang took a sip of tea, nodded and agreed: "That's right, Yang Ming's contribution is extremely great."

"Doesn't that mean we should reward him heavily?" Huang Yueying handed the pattern drawing to the anxious Zhuge Qiao who had been waiting for a long time. Zhuge Qiao said with a smile. Zhuge Liang shook his head: "This kid has only been in charge of the book for a short time.

It's not advisable to be promoted too quickly. The credit for this time can only be recorded." Huang Yueying understood the truth, but she rolled her eyes and said: "Yang Qing has made great contributions, so my recommendation is not small, right?

, I wonder what the Prime Minister’s reward is?”

They were used to joking with each other since they got married. Zhuge Liang was very happy when he saw his wife joking again. He also joked: "Xijun's recommendation is not small. I'm afraid I have to share half of the profit with Guo'er, right?"

Zhuge Guo and his brother were still concentrating on studying the turning car and the curved plow. He didn't hear the joke his parents had just made. At this time, he saw his elder mentioning him and didn't know what was going on. He had to look at his parents with a blank expression. Zhuge Liang

When the couple saw their daughter's innocent look, they found it very cute. They couldn't help but look at each other and burst out laughing. This smile not only made Zhuge Guo more confused, but even Zhuge Qiao, who was standing aside, was a little confused.

He looked at his parents innocently.

Fortunately, Huang Yueying laughed and told the reason, and the brothers and sisters found out what happened. Zhuge Guo saw his mother asking for a reward from his father, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "My daughter thought of a reward method." Huang Yueying said curiously:

"Oh, what can Guo'er do?" Zhuge Guo walked to his mother, looked at Zhuge Liang with a hopeful look on his face and said: "The manor outside the city has been built for a while, and you haven't been there yet. Why don't you choose a place with good weather and let your family be together?"

If you go and have a look at the manor, this can be regarded as a reward for my mother and me."

Zhuge Guo's thoughts were naturally understood by the three people in the room. She wanted to take this opportunity for Zhuge Liang to relax outside the city. Zhuge Liang was moved in his heart, looked at his daughter lovingly and agreed to her proposal: "Any merit will be rewarded."

, Guoer proposed a method, and my father had no choice but to agree."

In fact, Zhuge Liang also wanted to visit the manor recently. Now is the season for planting mulberry trees. He wants to personally demonstrate to the people the benefits of planting mulberry brocades. This is a major matter related to the state.

Huang Yueying also thought about this. How could her husband really ignore any official matters and just rest? She also thought about the idea that her mother and daughter had a reward. Although Yang Qing would definitely make up for it in the future, at this time

She also had to express her gratitude in order to avoid cold-heartedness. It was not good for her husband to reward her generously in official matters, so she could express her gratitude in private matters, which could be regarded as her husband's concern.

"It's hard to promote Yang Qing because of his meritorious service. Why not invite him to your home for a meal? It would be a thank you from you, the Prime Minister."

Regarding Huang Yueying's suggestion, Zhuge Liang said, "Well, I heard that he is living alone in Chengdu, and his daily meals are casual, so let's invite him to his house for a good meal."

"Then why not make it tomorrow?"

Zhuge Liang said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to do it tomorrow. Today he told me that he would go to Jindi tomorrow to have a look." Huang Yueying asked curiously: "Jindi, what is this kid doing there?" Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "You know what he said is interesting.

Farming's plan includes overhauling water conservancy, so he wanted to go to the most important Golden Embankment in Sichuan to inspect it first, and then come back and tell me his thoughts." Huang Yueying was thoughtful after hearing this, nodded and said: "That's it.

, in this case, let’s wait until he comes back.”

Jindi, in later generations, had a more world-famous name as Dujiangyan. Therefore, the Han Dynasty established Du'an County there, so people today often call it Du'an Weir, and also call it Jindi.

This weir is located on the Minjiang River to the west of the Chengdu Plain, about a hundred miles away from Chengdu. It was overhauled by Li Bing and his son, the prefect of Shu County in the Qin State, based on the foundation project built by their predecessor Bieling. It mainly includes the Baopingkou water inlet and the fish mouth water diversion.

The dike and the Feisha Weir spillway are three parts. With the power of this weir for flood control and irrigation, the floods in the Minjiang River were controlled, and the Chengdu Plain became thousands of miles of fertile land, giving Sichuan the reputation of the land of abundance.

Du'an County is located in the southern part of Mianlui County and belongs to Wenshan County. The terrain in the county is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, with many hills and few flat dams. At this moment, a carriage is moving forward on the official road, followed by dozens of cavalry.

Guard. Next to the carriage, Yang Qing and a young man were talking. They were both riding horses and riding side by side.

This young man is Zhuge Qiao, the son of Zhuge Liang. He is twenty years old this year. His original name is Zhongshen. After he passed over, he naturally became the eldest son of Zhuge Liang's family. Therefore, Zhuge Liang changed his nickname to Bosong. After talking along the way, Yang

The Qing Dynasty felt that he was tolerant, courteous, steady and simple. No wonder people in Soochow said that his talents were not as good as those of his brother, Zhuge Ke, the famous supernatural power, but he was better than him in his own personality. As for why Zhuge Qiao and Yang

Qing is on the official road to Du'an County, so we have to start talking about it this morning.

Early this morning, Yang Qing went to Du'an County with a dozen cavalrymen assigned by his subordinate Ma Zhong to protect him. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left Jiangqiao Gate, he saw Huang Yueying, Zhuge Qiao, and Zhuge Guo not far away.

After he went up to see the ceremony, he learned that the mother and son had learned from Zhuge Liang that he was going to visit Du'an Weir today, so they specially waited here to go with him. There were many more people, including women and Yang.

Qing had a headache. He wanted to go back quickly alone, but this was Mrs. Zhuge after all, so he had no choice but to agree.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Huang Yueying heard yesterday that Yang Qing was going to explore Du'an Weir, and she wanted to take a look out of curiosity. She has never been to this water conservancy project all over the world since she entered Sichuan.

As for the project. Of course, she was originally an active person. She was bored in the city these days, so she just went out for a walk. When she told her children about her idea, Zhuge Guo was fine. Zhuge Qiao also agreed. He had long wanted to get to know each other.

This is Yang Mingzhi.

"Mingzhi, I don't know how long it will take to arrive?" Huang Yueying asked from the carriage. Yang Qing had never been there, so he had no idea. He had to turn his head and look at Shen Da behind him. This man in his thirties was Ma Zhong. The leader of the fourteen cavalry sent was not only very skilled, but he had also been to Du'anyan. It seemed that he had been carefully selected by Ma Zhong, and Yang Qing certainly remembered this favor.

"It's probably a while before I can get back to the main register."

They set out early in the morning, and it was already past midnight. They had walked for about four hours. Fortunately, the group of people were either riding in cars or on horses, and they only rested once along the way.

"Then hurry up and try to enter Du'an County before dark." Huang Yueying estimated the time and immediately ordered everyone to speed up. Soon after everyone entered Du'an County, it got dark, and they entered under the arrangement of the county magistrate Yan Hong. We went to the post house to rest. We were tired from traveling and declined Magistrate Yan's invitation to a banquet. Everyone rested early and had no words for the night.

On the morning of the next day, accompanied by Yan Hong, Yang Qing and his party finally came to the side of Dayan, climbed the hillside on the right bank of the Minjiang River, and came to the Wangdi Temple in memory of the King of Shu. Looking at the Dayan from a distance, they could see the fish mouth in the middle of the river. The diversion dike divides the Minjiang River into two parts. According to Yan Hong, the west side is called the Outer River, which is the normal flow of the Minjiang River and is mainly used for flood drainage, while the east side is called the Neijiang River and is mainly used for artificial water diversion for irrigation.

This Yan Hong is also a knowledgeable man. Along the way, he told the cultural stories, customs and customs of Du'an County. After arriving at Du'an Weir, this man also explained the role of the big weir in diverting water and diverting water. Everyone followed. With his explanation, the origin and function of Duanyan became clearer.

While everyone continued to watch Dayan, a clerk suddenly ran up the mountain to Yan Hong and whispered to him. After hearing the report, Yan Hong came to Yang Qing with a serious face.
