The Long River 天下长河 Episode 16

The news about Jin Fu's assassination had already spread to the capital, and there was an uproar. Gao Shiqi reported the situation truthfully. It turned out that the assailant's father was He Gong, who was flooded last year and his whereabouts are still unknown. It is also because of this that the woman misunderstood that Jin Fu forced the people along the coast to relocate, and the new and old hatred made her lose her mind, so she made such a bad move, and Jin Fu was safe and sound.

After Kangxi listened to Gao Shiqi's report, he valued Jin Fu even more in his heart, knowing that he was upright and upright, and he would definitely not collude with corrupt officials. As for whether Axixi was at a loss, Gao Shiqi concealed the truth and said good things for him. Kangxi believed it and wanted to transfer Axixi back to Beijing. It can be regarded as a check on Jin Fu and Chen Huang.

Although Gao Shiqi suggested to Kangxi that Xu Qianxue should study the history of Ming Dynasty, Xu Qianxue had completely lost power, and even Suo'etu had a cold face towards him. This time when the dispute over the Yellow River subsided, Suo'etu praised Gao Shiqi for his outstanding ability, and enthusiastically dragged him to a mansion, showing that A Xixi entrusted him to send favors along the way, and repaid him before he was lenient, and did not kill them all.

Looking at the magnificent mansion, Gao Shiqi pretended to be anxious, Suo'etu reassured him not to be nervous, this mansion is nothing to A Xixi, and being the governor of Liangjiang can easily make money. On the other side, Xu Qianxue didn't have to spend time in the court, but stayed in the Imperial Academy every day, and it was very leisurely to practice Tai Chi and keep fit.

Jin Fu and his son were ordered to return to Beijing to report the progress of the project. Gao Shiqi rushed to the residence first and reminded Jin Fu to prepare the report as soon as possible. However, as soon as the words fell, Kangxi had already appeared, saying that he would not discuss official business today, and then ordered someone to bring Jin Fu's wife, Guerjia, to arrange a reunion for their family.

The husband and wife reunited after a long absence, so naturally there should be endless greetings. How did Guarjia stay silent the whole time, until her son Jin Zhiyu found an excuse to leave first, then she showed grief and indignation, and rebuked Jin Fu for patrolling the river and there was no news from the beginning to the end. Neither wrote home. Jin Fu knew that he was ashamed, so he explained the cause and effect in detail. During the period from sinking to prison, he had experienced too many things that made him speechless to his wife.

After the two settled their suspicions, Jin Fu held Guarjia's hand and solemnly promised to take care of the family more. The next day, Jin Fu entered the palace in front of the civil and military officials, and personally reported to Kangxi the work changes and the branch's method of reducing expenditure.

After obtaining Kangxi's promise, Jin Fu took his wife and children back to the governance area. Chen Huang and others had been waiting for a long time, and directly bowed down to the Guerjia family. Now that the Ministry of Households has delivered the silver taels, Jin Fu immediately ordered the start of work, and mobilized middle-aged men and women to participate in it, with generous silver and grain.

River officials from the five provinces gathered in the Governor’s Mansion. Jin Fu saw that everyone was dissatisfied with the court and had suffered a lot of grievances, so he made a promise that they would be rewarded for their meritorious service, and that they would not be punished for their meritorious deeds. Even if anything happened, he would be responsible for it. The same ugly thing is said in the front, Jin Fu does not want to see the river officer's behavior of enriching his own pocket, otherwise he will definitely be investigated according to law.

The river officials felt a little relieved when they heard the words, and were willing to accept Jin Fu's arrangement. Only the two were proud and arrogant, relying on their talents to refute Chen Huang's river governance ideas. These two are Feng Boyi, the river official of Xiaojiadu, and Peng Jingming, the counselor. They were also appreciated by Chen Huang for their great views on water control, and they were entrusted with important tasks. Floods can still be dealt with.

When Kangxi met with foreign ministers, he expressed his desire to translate the full text of geometry and annotate Manchu and Chinese characters for the benefit of the people. The foreign minister believed that geometry alone was not enough, after all, it was a matter of principle. He specially brought two sets of books of Archimedes to the emperor for reference. Kangxi was very happy about this, and informed Liang Jiugong to supervise the prince to learn compass and triangular ruler well.
