In the south of Liaohetao, there is a Xining Fort.
The fort is adjacent to the Sancha River and the Great Wall of Liao Dynasty. It is a small water and land hub.
Around Xining Fort, there were many military households living in the Ming Dynasty, but now they have changed. The fort is still there, the water and soil will last forever, and the residents living in this land have completely changed into a new look.
The Liao State Mansion was built next to Baozi, which used to be the house of the Pang family.
After Pang Chunlai retired and returned to his hometown, he has been looking for his relatives and fellow villagers. I really couldn't find my relatives, but my fellow countrymen found a few, and I felt a little relieved.
In early summer, the weather is just right.
There was a reclining chair in the yard. The guards carried Pang Chunlai to the courtyard, and with the help of several servants, he carefully placed him on the reclining chair to bask in the sun.
The Duke of Liao was paralyzed, and even lost his mind in severe cases.
The spirit seemed to be better this day, Pang Chunlai grinned, and his words were a little awkward: "Qingya, do you still remember that we went to Shandong together to catch the exam?"
Li Mengsi, style name Qingya, like Pang Chunlai, is a descendant of a hereditary military officer of the Ming Dynasty.
When the Tartars came, Li Mengsi fled to Guannei, and then to Shaanxi, where he went to his father's old robe. At that time, Li Mengsi was also in the army, and Li Mengsi was also in the army. Later, he returned to Shaanxi and went south to avoid Li Zicheng.
Going around, Li Mengsi became a citizen of the new dynasty, returned to Liaodong in response to the immigration policy, settled in the land, and worked hard to study.
Due to the lack of educated people, it was learned that Li Mengsi had been a juren, and the local officials even hired him as a teacher.
From the newspaper, Li Mengsi knew that his former classmate became the Duke of the state, but he still lives in the country and teaches in elementary schools. The county opened a middle school, and Li Mengsi was transferred to teach in the middle school. When he retired, he was already the principal of the county middle school.
Li Mengsi's body is still in good health. He took the tea from the maid, looked at the blue sky and fell into memory: "At that time, other scholars all went by sea, and we went by land together. We traveled all the way to the rivers and mountains of Daming. Shanhaiguan, visit North Zhili, take the canal from Tianjin to Shandong."
A smile appeared on Pang Chunlai's face. Due to hemiplegia, the smile was rather stiff: "Do you still remember the daughter-in-law of Pingshan Wei Deng's conductor?"
"Why don't you remember?" Li Mengsi also laughed, "Your father and Commander Deng are old acquaintances. When you passed through Dongchang Mansion, you went to pay a visit with a famous badge, and Commander Deng stayed with us for a few days. The daughter of the Deng family, young Fang Shiwu is not yet married. When we met for the first time, your eyes were straight."
Pang Chunlai wanted to laugh, but he couldn't open his mouth wide: "Your eyeballs almost fell to the ground."
Li Mengsi shook his head amusedly: "You and I fought over jealousy. I didn't have a marriage contract at the time, and it was time for me to pursue a beautiful woman. You have a marriage contract, but you still want to rob me. It's really shameless."
Pang Chunlai recalled: "I still remember that she was wearing a green lake silk blouse, which was a new style popular in Yangzhou. The sleeves were narrower, fresh and neat. The hair accessories were not cumbersome, only a jade hairpin was inserted, and the pendant was It is a lake pearl, swaying with the wind when we walk. We rushed in the door recklessly, and almost bumped into her"
Li Mengsi said: "It seems that you are sincere. Decades have passed, and you can still remember it so clearly. I have forgotten the appearance of Younger Brother Deng, and I can't remember what clothes she was wearing. I can only vaguely remember her rolling her eyes. That pretty appearance, cute and cute, hahahaha!"
"Well, I don't know if she is still alive now." Pang Chunlai sighed.
Li Mengsi said: "I hope the old man is well."
Pang Chunlai asked someone to inquire, only to know that his first love married and went to Yanzhou, and fled to Jiangsu with his husband's family. At that time, the soldiers were in turmoil, and the plague was still prevalent, so it was unknown if he died on the way.
The two were silent and no longer spoke.
After a long time, Li Mengsi suddenly said: "I have often dreamed in the past two years. I dreamed that I would return to the last year of Wanli. When the snow melted in spring, we, a classmate of health school, met to go for a horseback ride. We talked about killing Tartars and serving the country with a smile. My brother Li Mengzhou , it seems that he has never turned to Tartar for treason, he is still the hot-blooded boy back then."
"Don't mention mention him, cough, cough, cough!" Pang Chunlai suddenly became agitated, and the muscles on his face were trembling.
Pang Chunlai adopted four sons and one daughter. The daughter is married, and the three sons are officials in other places. Only the youngest son is by his side to fulfill his filial piety.
At this time, the youngest son helped him to sit up, and patted Pang Chunlai's back to smoothen his air.
However, Li Mengsi kept crying, as if recalling the unbearable past. Suddenly, Li Mengsi covered his face with his hands, and his whole upper body lay on his lap, sitting there sobbing and crying alone.
"Dangdang, Dangdang!"
Someone knocked on the door of the shop outside, and asked as he walked on the door: "Who is it?"
&nThe common people dredged the river and built embankments, and the Changguang Road in this county has been reopened. "
"What is Changguang Dao?" Zhao Kuanghuan asked.
Chen Huanliang said: "Reporting to Your Highness, the Liao River and the Daliao River were still one in the Yuan Dynasty. In the fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the river course was divided into two, namely the Liao River and the Daliao River. The Daliao River was newly separated, and the surrounding water network was complicated. Due to sedimentation, the river bed is gradually raised and the river course is constantly changing. The area in central Liao is mostly swamps, also known as Liaoze."
"During the Ming Dynasty, the roads and rivers were dredged, and the Changguang Road was built, starting from Haizhou in the east and reaching the county in the west. If the goods in the pass were to go by land, they had to take the Changguang Road in this county before they could be transported to Haizhou and Shenyang. Ming Dynasty At the end of the day, due to the siltation of the river and the flooding of the river, the Changguang Road was abandoned, and Chongzhen and the Tatars were unable to repair it."
"I am going to recover Liaodong, and most of the materials will be taken by sea, so there is no rush to restore the Changguang Road. In recent years, the population of Liaodong has increased day by day, and the restoration of land transportation is imminent. Therefore, the province issued a decree to restore the Changguang Road. Yu Zhifu let Our two counties worked together to dredge and restore traffic."
"The restoration of Changguang Road in this county is half a year faster than the construction period in neighboring counties, and it does not disturb the residents too much."
Zhao Kuanghuan nodded in approval: "Good!"
Like the Yellow River, the Daliao River has a lot of sediment and often diverts its course. Even in New China hundreds of years later, the Daliao River has been diverted three times.
At this time, the Daliao River and the nearby water network are full of swamps.
The Ming Dynasty has been draining the swamp water to turn the swamp into arable land. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the war was busy, the river collapsed, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty did not dredge, the river overflowed and poured, and the area of ??the swamp gradually increased.
Today's Datong New Dynasty is busy draining marshes, clearing wasteland, dredging rivers, and cleaning up water networks.
Don't talk about protecting wetlands, productivity has not yet developed to that point.
Chen Huanliang said proudly: "This county is the county that grows the most rice in the entire Northeast. Most of the reclaimed swamps have turned into fertile fields, which can feed countless people."
