Chapter 58                                                

Yu Qian was actually a little worried about Zhu Qizhen's reform ideas, but the things in front of him were about to change. This is because of the inconsistency between the Chidao system and the original post station delivery system of the Ming Dynasty.

Yu Qian had this idea and insisted on paying every time he arrived at a station. Although Yu Qian's treatment did not cost him a penny.

Although Yu Qian retired.

However, Zhu Qizhen gave Yu Qian no bad treatment at all. First of all, he was titled as a Duke of Anguo. Although this Duke was more of a false title and did not give much land, he still had a salary. He also had a casual official of the Grand Tutor. The salary between the two was added up to about a thousand stones a year.

According to the current price of rice, Yu Qian's annual salary is about 400 taels of silver.

It doesn't seem to be too much, but compared to the annual salary of the Beijing camp soldiers is only about 12 taels, you can know that Yu Qian's salary is already a lot of money for ordinary people.

Most of Yu Qian's money is returned to the Hangzhou clan, and some of it is funded by academies, etc.

Yu Qian is not without money, but he is used to a simple life.

Yu Qian was also given a post home and was naturally qualified to use the post station, but when he saw the situation along the way, how could he bear to use these people's fat and cream?

However, after arriving in Baoding, Yu Qian stopped walking on the road, but went east along the Daqing River, either looking at anything else, or looking at Triangle Lake.

Nothing else.

The Three Lakes and Five Rivers Project was the deepest impression of Yu Qian in his life and something he always cared about.

Not to mention, Yu Qian is old and weak, this time, he can only watch it in his dream. He cannot read all the projects, but he still has to take a look at the most important triangle.

Now, it is the dry season.

There are large tidal flats in the river.

Only in the river channel, there is a line of water flowing, showing the extreme thinness, which is in sharp contrast with the strong river embankment on both sides of the river, and seems to have done useless work.

But Yu Qian knew how rapid the flood season of the Daqing River was every summer and autumn.

Yu Qian asked his wife to take the servant to rest in the inn. He took Yu Kang, father and son to walk along the embankment. Yu Qian stood with a crutch and knocked hard from time to time to listen to the sound.

To determine the situation of the dam?

Of course, this kind of judgment is actually very unreliable. Yu Qian can rely on his own experience. If Yu Qian is still an official and comes here to inspect, he will naturally have to use various means.

But now he has retired, but this is all he can do.

As I walked, I came to Trianglean.

But I saw a vast ocean. Although the lotus flowers on the lake have withered due to the weather, there are still lotus flowers forming various appearances, giving people a sense of bleakness and vitality.

Yu Kang followed Yu Qian in the northwest for many years and had never seen such a large lake. He couldn't help but say, "You dug up this lake from my father. Is it really so big?"

Yu Qian sighed and said, "If there is tens of millions of silver, how can it not be big if there is such a lake?"

Yu Qian stood on the crutch and walked towards a temple step by step.

When I saw the temple from afar, it seemed that the incense was very strong and the scale was quite large. It was just above a dirt mountain next to the Triangle Lake. From afar, there were several courtyards.

Yu Qian looked over from a distance and said, "What a big change?"

This temple was built by Yu Qian.

After the triangular zone was repaired, the people spontaneously built a temple for Yu Qian. Yu Qian was shocked and tried his best to persuade him to live, and then the temple was converted into the Dragon King Temple.

And this earthen mountain was piled up from the soil dug out of the lake. However, at that time, there was only one room in the Dragon King Temple, and there was a statue of the Dragon King, and then a lame old army guarded it.

However, there are several courtyards now, which makes Yu Qian dare not recognize him for a moment.

With the help of Yu Qian and Yu Kang, he climbed this low-high mountain.

Yu Qian followed the continuous abortion into the temple.

Yu Qian, Hebei, has happened more than 20 years ago. In a generation, these people have never known this old man.

Yu Qian suddenly saw a stone tablet engraved with a poem: "The great and powerful one is not a hero? In an instant, he sucked all the waters of the seas in vain and turned into sweet rain to save the world."

Yu Qian's fingers slowly moved on the marks of the handwriting. This was the poem he wrote for the Dragon King Temple. After many years, he seemed to have forgotten that he had written this poem.

"Sir?" A trembling voice came from behind Yu Qian. Yu Qian turned around and saw an old man with white hair. He couldn't recognize him for a moment?

Yu Qian said, "Are you?"

The white-haired old man said, "I don't know me, I am a local official. When I built the Dragon King Temple, I was the leader of the leader. Why don't you say anything when you come? I'll wait to greet you?"

Yu Qian said: "Now that I have resigned from my post and returned home, so there is no need to disturb the place."

The white-haired old man said, "How can this work? If someone knows that the adults have come, we have not received any hospitality, and we must be squeezed."

This white-haired old man seemed to have great prestige. With the order, someone naturally came over. I don’t know how many old men came over for a while, many of them were Yu Qian’s old people back then.

Yu Qian was always a light car in Hebei. He came and went in a hurry and had a direct conversation with the people without any hesitation. This was the only way to understand the terrain of Hebei. It was precisely because of this in-depth understanding that the river route was planned.

Finally, this major project was completed.

Therefore, there are many people who recognize Yu Qian.

But Yu Qian felt that he looked familiar more and many people didn’t know him.

When the news came, the people from all over the countryside came over, each of them took their own wine and meat, and set up a banquet in the Dragon King Temple. For a moment, Yu Qian couldn't drag him away.

This is Yu Qian's prestige in Hebei. Even after more than twenty years, this prestige still remains unshakable. Many young people have never met Yu Qian, but after hearing what his father and grandfather said, they are all here to kowtow to Yu Qian, and even if they stop him, they can't stop him.

It can be seen that Yang Pu praised Yu Qian and prevented Yu Qian from entering the capital. Perhaps there were political plots in it, but he was not wrong about Qian's prestige in Hebei.

Yu Qian couldn't do it, so he could only stay and have a drink.

Yu Qian sighed, "This Dragon King Temple has changed so much? I don't know it anymore."

The white-haired old man smiled and said, "After sir, Hebei has water for water conservancy, even if it is not good every year, it has water to irrigate the land and harvest."

"Every household has surplus grain, so I discussed with several nearby farms. I felt that this was the blessing of the Dragon King, so I went out to build this temple and became what I am now. The Prime Minister of the Turtle, the Dragon Girl, and all the Dragon Sons and Dragon Girls were offered to the public."

Yu Qian smiled softly, only to find it a little funny.

But this is how the common people are. Many temples are enshrined in messy gods. Now the people feel that the Dragon King has made contributions and wish they could worship the Dragon King and his whole son.

What is the Dragon Mother Hall, the Dragon Son Hall, and the Dragon Girl Hall, but it will become a large number of buildings.

However, this temple was also built by Yu Qian. After reporting it to the local government, it is not considered a lewd sacrifice. Although Yu Qian also felt that the truth was not reasonable, he did not mean to say more?

"Speaking of this, it should be dedicated to the adults." said an old man next to him.

As soon as this statement was spoken, many people actually agreed.

Yu Qian frowned slightly, and before he could speak, the white-haired old man next to him hurriedly said, "What nonsense? Living people cannot worship, otherwise it will be harmful to others. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."

This put the chaos down.

Yu Qian sighed in his heart and said in his heart: "I can't stay here for a long time."

Although he liked this simple atmosphere, he also knew that after staying here for a long time, he would give him a handle. Yu Qian had already retired, so he was not afraid. But for these people, any seventh-rank official could cure them by life and death.

Yu Qian and these fellow villagers drank together. The next morning, before dawn, Yu Qian and Yu Kang left here, and took a boat to the canal, leaving this land where he had struggled for several years and left countless memories.
