Chapter 234 Yellow River Autumn Flood(2/2)

At most, they are only responsible for supervision and acceptance!

But Wang Gongchen is the most disgusting person.

This is because his attitude towards the people below him is based on different positions. If they are from the old party, he will support them, while if they are from the new party, he will set up various obstacles to prevent them from performing their duties normally.

He used this method to coerce the capital and send only old party officials to Daming Mansion.

Can Tutang pamper him?

No way!

So when Cai Que came to power, he tried his best to fill Daming Palace with new party ministers.

Especially the river officials tried their best to block it.

Even if he wanted to disgust Wang Gongchen and play cowardly games with Wang Gongchen, Wang Gongchen would not tolerate Cai Que.

Just leave the people sent by Cai Que aside.

Many people have been in office for more than half a year, and they don't even know where to get their own funds, let alone see Wang Gongchen!

When they finally met Wang Gongchen and got the keys and power, they were transferred out before they had even been in the Yamen for a few days...

The newcomers, on the other hand, looked confused and had no idea what was going on.

This is the danger of party struggle.

Both sides just want to make the other party sick, regardless of the overall situation - anyway, even if there is a flood, it will not drown them!

As a result, naturally the river banks and river channels in Damingfu have not been properly repaired in several years.

Wang Gongchen is also lucky, there have been no floods in Daming Mansion in recent years.

However... this year's autumn floods will be extremely violent!

Therefore, Han Wei was dumbfounded as soon as he took office.

It’s all a mess, with so many threads that I can’t even figure it out!

All we can say is that Wang Gongchen is lucky.

In his previous life, it was Han Jiang who wiped his butt, but now it was Han Jiang's younger brother Han Wei who wiped his butt.

These two veterans are both good at water conservancy and have some sense of responsibility.

For example, Han Wei went to inspect the river as soon as he took office. Then a group of officials and common people pulled him along the river embankment, pointed at the banks trembling in front of the Yellow River, and told him - Sir, hurry up and build the river. If you don't do it anymore,

It's over.

Han Wei was also shocked. He never imagined that he would encounter such a sinkhole as soon as he took office.

He can only play it immediately!

When the two palaces remembered the contents of Han Wei's letter, they sighed: "Han Wei said he would need at least 100,000 people..."

"A civilian husband's salary is at least one hundred and fifty yuan a day..."

"Fifteen million dollars will be spent on this day..."

Both palaces were somewhat reluctant to part with it.

"Money is nothing..." Zhao Xu said: "The top priority is flood prevention..."

"The embankment of Daming Mansion must be preserved!"

As Zhao Xu spoke, he swore in his heart that when he came to take charge, he would find a way or an excuse to raid Wang Gongchen's house to make up for the shortfall.

"In addition, Mr. Han is old and may not have enough energy..."

"Why don't you choose a prime minister from the capital to help?"

"Send Song Yongchen to help again?"

"We will also mobilize the Xiang troops from Daming Mansion, the East and West Roads of Beijing, and the Forbidden Army stationed there to help..."

The two palaces looked at each other, and as of now, this is all they can do.

So, he asked the Queen Mother: "Does anyone have a choice for Sixth Brother?"

Zhao Xu replied: "I think Zhang Dun is good..."

"Shilang Zhang is promoted to the ambassador of river defense in Daming Prefecture... Song Yongchen is his deputy... and he is given full power..."

"Then... the deputy commander of the infantry army is Miao Shu. The Confucian commander is talented and can command all armies..."

"Send the Miao as generals, control the east and west roads of Beijing, Hebei Road, Daming Palace Forbidden Army, Xiang Army..."

The two palaces thought about it and felt that Zhao Xu's proposal was good, so they looked at the Empress Dowager and asked: "What do you mean, your Majesty?"

"Just follow the official's wishes!"

But Zhao Xu knows that this is not enough!

In his previous life, Daming Prefecture was able to be saved entirely because Han Jiang was so angry that he personally inspired the soldiers and civilians, and because the people of Daming Prefecture knew that their home was behind them, so they risked their lives to protect the Daming Prefecture embankment.

However……

However, the Yellow River burst its banks at Xiaozhangkou downstream of Damingfu.

Daming Mansion was not flooded, but hundreds of thousands of households on Hebei Road north of Xiaozhangkou could only type: RNM!

Now, if you want to avoid opening your mouth and bursting the embankment, you can only use one unique magic trick: krypton gold!

Only the magic power of krypton gold can save Hebei.

Therefore, Zhao Xu looked at the two palaces and said: "Mother, Queen... I want to use the money to seal the pile warehouse..."

"At least one million bolts of silk and one million coins...as rewards for the armies..."

I want the soldiers of the Song Dynasty to sacrifice their lives.

You have to give money and the reward must be sufficient!

Otherwise, three or five times a month, who the hell will work for your Zhao Guan family?

The two palaces fell into silence as they listened.

One million pieces of silk are worth at least three million pieces.

Adding in one million copper coins, this is at least enough to clear out a sealed warehouse!

Just to block the river embankment?

Both palaces were a little unsure.

It must be pointed out here that even if the Yellow River breaks its banks in Damingfu, Bianjing City will not be affected.

Moreover, for the Song Dynasty, even if Hebei was flooded, it would not be a big problem as long as Hedong was not flooded.

Because Hebei is used to being flooded.

Starting from Renmiao, whenever there is heavy rain, there will be floods in Hebei!

Of course Zhao Xu knew this.

But he said resolutely: "Mother, Queen, human life is at stake!"

"Now is not the time to worry about money!"

"Once there is a problem in Daming Mansion, there will be a big problem in our border defense..."

"Hebei will be undefeated!"

After hearing this, the two palaces finally nodded.

"Just follow the official's instructions..."

I checked the information and found out that the Yellow River masters of Shenzong and Zhezong dynasties moved eastward and westward. It was really difficult to find out.

Note: In the Northern Song Dynasty, when senior ministers were away from home, it was more like taking a vacation than being an official.

They basically don't care about things and believe in governing by doing nothing.

Among the ministers of the old party, Wen Yanbo, Wang Gongchen and others have all done things to deliberately prevent new party ministers from taking office and drag them down without giving them time to perform their duties.

When Wen Yanbo was in Daming Mansion, the deputy transport envoy of Hebei Province even sued him for not giving him the key to his warehouse and deliberately not letting him take office.

Then... Shenzong gave instructions: Grand Master Wen is a patriarch of the country and a famous official in the world, and I must respect him... How dare you, a little transfer envoy, dare to talk casually?

Transfer this person away...

But Wen Yanbo is better than Wang Gongchen. He is just a disgusting person. He will not really leave the river issues aside and stop people from doing things. After all, he still pays more attention to people's livelihood.

Wang Gongchen is just a political machine.
