13. Close the door if you don't enter Tong

The money for repairing weapons is the money used by local towns to renovate and manufacture weapons. Gao Yue has been in Jingyuan and Xingyuan, and he knows this. What makes him sad is that the Tang army spends very little in this regard. The military governments of various towns and towns are on average several thousand to ten thousand yuan a year, which is roughly the same as the salary of the shogunate officials and assistants. Sometimes it is not as good as a luxury banquet in the military palace. In this way, the combat effectiveness of the Tang army is of course far from the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Now that Li Miru can really use the saved concierge fees as a cost of repairing tools in various towns, it is naturally good news for Gao Yue.

After hearing Gao Yue's plan, Jia Dan was also very happy. He immediately said that in fact, Hu Ke, Fan Zi and the generals of Anxi Beiting, who went out to drown the plan, could be used as imperial guards. In addition to the defeat of Li Xilie, the defense envoy of Jin Shang, Fan Ze, recently recruited thousands of mountain pans (Li Shuwen, Mo Liuhun's tribe), and could also be sent to the capital to be imperial guards.

While everyone was talking enthusiastically, the postman outside the courtyard hurriedly ran in and said to Jia Dan: "Jing, under the ceremonies, a Northern Commander came from the capital, saying that there was an imperial edict issued!"

"Oh?" Jia Dan and Li Mi couldn't help but think.

These days, they are actually waiting for news from the capital and the emperor's news for himself.

It is false to say that after Yan Zhenqing and Xiao Xin resigned, these two people had no idea about the position of the prime minister. Especially Li Mi, who has been away from other places for so many years, was first excluded by Yuan Zai, and then hated by Chang Gun. According to the prestige in the court and the country, he should have returned to the court as prime minister. Yan Zhenqing previously revealed in his letter to him: I recommend Shaoyuan, you in front of His Majesty, and Xiao Menlang recommends Jia Dunshi.

There was also a recommendation from the former prime minister, which was equivalent to adding double insurance.

At this time, a middle envoy wearing brocade clothes walked in with steady steps, and everyone stepped forward to pay a greeting.

"Congratulations to Doctor Li, the Holy Lord, you are the defensive observation envoy of Shaanxi and Guo, the transfer envoy of Shaanxi Prefecture, and the regular attendant of the Left Sanqi. You will be the last day in the Secretariat every month."

Li Mi was stunned immediately.

After waiting for so many years, Your Majesty still did not give me the position of magistrate, and even the title of the Censor, he asked me to be the Shaanxi-Guo Defense Observer... He asked me to supervise the transportation of Sanmenxia!

Gao Yue and Liu Yan next to them were also stunned.

It is obvious that Emperor Li Shi still didn't want Li Mi to be the prime minister, and he repeated it again.

However, Li Mi was a practitioner of Taoism after all, and he could be content with his heart. He was calm on his face. After reciting the holy grace, he received the imperial edict.

Next, the middle order turned to Jia Dan.

Jia Dan sighed slightly, as if he had understood: he and Li Mi were probably treated the same way.

Sure enough, the Central Envoy read out the arrangements for Jia Dan: resigned from the Shandong East Road Jiedu, and served as the descendant of the eastern capital of Luoyang City, while the Shandong East Road Jiedu was replaced by Fan Ze, the former Jin Shang Defense Envoy.

As for Fan Ze's Jin Shang Defense Envoy, he was handed over to Han Huan's younger brother Han Hui to serve as the role.

"Dare you dare to ask the imperial envoy, two Huangmen's ministers?" Li Mi couldn't help but ask the emperor for the candidates for the prime minister's team.

The envoy told him that Zhang Yan, the general servant of the Right Sanqi, received the recommendation of Ma Sui, the commander of the Fengcheng Army in Hedong, and Baima Xuan was appointed as the Minister of the Huangmen; as for the other deputy minister of the Huangmen, he was the former Xuanwu and the governor of the Yongping Army, Li Mian, the governor of the commander of the Yongping Army, entered the capital to take responsibility.

After the Central Envoy left, Li Mi smiled bitterly, looked up at the sky surrounded by the yard, and looked at Gao Yue with a bitter back. After a few long roars, he said calmly: "What a pity, it's a pity, Dunshi. I originally thought you and I would have a chance, but I didn't expect that I could not even enter Tongguan."

Li Mi's Shaanxi and Guo and Jia Dan's Eastern Capital were just across the Daotongguan from the capital of Guanzhong.

"Shaoyuan!" At this time, Liu Yan called him.

Li Mi looked back and heard Liu Yan's calm voice say to him and Jia Dan: "When all real gold must be burned, be patient."

After hearing this, Li Mi and Jia Dan both realized something, so they saluted Liu Yan and then said goodbye.

At this time, only Liu Yan and Gao Yue were left in the entire Xiting courtyard.

"There is no Hu Ben in Xingyuan Mansion, right?" Liu Yan's thin fingers closed his sparse beard and said to Gao Yue directly.

Gao Yue lowered his head, which is the default.

"The more true it is, it is false." Liu Yan narrowed his eyes, feeling a little proud. "But this kind of affairs of the children in the courtyard depends on your personal orientation and cultivation. If you are really confused, you might as well ask Xiao Zhongming of Nanyuan - we haven't seen each other for a long time, so don't talk about these trivial matters, come and sit down."

Gao Yue sat down next to Liu Yan in the pavilion, and then Liu Yan said to him: "No matter how good your friendship with Prince Pu, remember, but once there is any disturbance in the palace, you must stand on the side of the prince!"

When Gao Yue heard Liu Yan's words, he nodded quickly.

Then Liu Yan drank a few cups of tea with him, and his speech slowed down, "By the way, Yisong, do you know why Han Taichong had a feud with Du Junqing when he was rafting that day and night?"

"I really don't know."

"Where is Du Junqing, when he is preparing to return to the court this time, he will present to the emperor a plan to reform the grain transportation. He also wants to take this opportunity to take credit and ascend to the position of the magistrate." Liu Yan said calmly.

"Yan Xiang, what you said to me is not wrong. Since then, the disputes in the court have been a dispute over the transportation of canals and rights."

Liu Yan was speechless, then he lit the tea soup in the cup with his fingertips, and rustled on the sandalwood surface of the small table:

"Du Junqing's strategy is to restore the Honggou canal transportation during the Han Dynasty. This is the case. From Junyi in the south of Bianzhou, Pipagou connects to Caishui, then from Caishui to Huaiyang in Chenzhou, transfers to Yingshui, and then from Yingshui to Shouyang into Feishui, the source of the Feishui River, and the connection between Juchao Lake (now Chaohu Lake in Anhui), is only separated by a section of Gaogang, called Jiminggang. As long as this post is drilled, the ship can enter Juchao Lake and directly connect to the Yangtze River (Yangtze River).

The so-called Caishui is the Langdang Canal and the main road of the ancient gulf. As long as you pass here, you can reach Xingyang and Luoyang directly, then pass through the Nanhe River through Sanmenxia, ​​and then send it to Chang'an City through Shanzhou.

Then Liu Yan said that if you don’t dig the Chicken Crown Rail, it’s nothing more than a lot of land routes in the middle. One is the Chicken Crown Rail that separates the Yangtze River and Chaohu, which is about 40 miles long. A transfer courtyard is set up here to send the materials transported from the Jianghu River to the Feishui River by land, which is also affordable; the second is that the entrusted ships between the Jianghuai River can also go along the Yangtze River from Baisha (now Yizheng, Jiangsu) to Dongguan (now Chao County, Anhui), and enter Chaohu River from Jiying Hill to the Feishui River.

"If this happens, once the Honggou and the Yangtze River can be connected, the wealth of the Jianghuai River will not go through the Bian River, and then they will not be threatened by Ziqing and Wei Bo. In addition, the rice from Lingnan, Hanzhong, Jingnan, and even Shu can also be shipped directly, and can be collected on the Yangtze River first through various waterways, entering the Yangtze River, then entering the Honggou, and then sending it to Luoyang and Chang'an? In addition, the Honggou area is mostly plains, and the dredging project is much more convenient than other places."

"Yi Song is right, but now you should also understand why Han Huan refused to allow Du You's plan to be implemented! He didn't want Du You's plan to appear in front of the emperor." Liu Yan sighed after saying that.

"That would be the same as Han Huan's Xuanrun's status plummeted?" Gao Yue immediately understood.
