Chapter 3 Waiting for a chance(1/2)

Wang Ju quickly came to the capital and arrived at the Secretariat.

Han Qi was not polite and started asking: "Wang Ju, I asked you to observe Zheng Baiqu, why did you go to Chengdu Prefecture?"

"You are aware of the reason why Xiaguan went to Chengdu Prefecture Road not for the sake of travel. Chengdu Prefecture Prefecture Gong Zhao Yan can be a certificate. After Xiaguan went to Chengdu Prefecture Road in front of him, he immediately went to Dujiangyan. After inspecting the dam for several days, he hurried back to Zhengbaiqu."

"Why observe Dujiangyan?"

"Dujiangyan still exists for more than a thousand years, and it should be worth observing and learning. Zheng Baiqu has a lot of labor and money, so it cannot be careless, and it cannot be repaired in front. After the collapse of the dike, it is not a benefit to the people, but a policy that harms the people. In addition, Xiaguan went to Dujiangyan to inspect because in Xiaguan's idea, he would set up a dam reservoir in Zheng Baiqu to raise or store water levels. However, what Xiaguan had built before was small water dams, but he had no experience in large water dams, so he had to observe and learn more."

This is indeed Wang Ju's true words.

There is no cement now, so we can only use glutinous rice flour and lime to make a coagulant, but this coagulant made Wang Ju very worried, so he had to go to Dujiangyan in person to see how they designed and utilized it.

Only then can you have a clear mind.

But this move did not say hello to anyone, of course it was also Wang Ju's dissatisfaction and protest against the order of Zhongshu.

Han Qi snorted coldly and said, "You don't even understand this, but you dare to say shamelessly that you can repair Zheng Baiqu?"

"Duke Han, who knows what the minister understands? If it is not that the officials are arrogant, there must be some ministers who know better than the officials, but the officials believe that they will not be much more intelligent than the officials!"

This kid actually dared to talk back. Han Qi was about to get angry. Suddenly, Xiaohuangmen walked in and said, "Your Majesty invites Han, Duke, and Wang Ju in the Political Affairs Hall."

Han Qi had no choice but to go to the Political Affairs Hall with several prime ministers.

When several people met Zhao Xu, they saluted one after another.

Zhao Xu looked at Wang Ju with a smile.

In fact, Wang Ju didn't know that if Wang Ju fought against Han Qi, Han Wei would definitely stand on his side, and everyone was Zhao Xu's person. But if there were no "foreign enemies", Han Wei strongly recommended Wang Anshi.

Wang Ju is talented, but he is young and has a bold attitude towards work, so he is not as noble as Wang Anshi and indifferent.

But even Wang Ju knew it and was very open-minded. He was indeed too young, so how could Zhao Xu use it? Not to mention the priest, he even served as a two-system official, and it is not possible now. The two-system official who was twenty years old was Zhao Kuangyi who was randomly enrolled in the imperial examinations and Jinshi at that time. He didn't dare to play like this.

Looking at Zhao Xu's expression, Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu, Zeng Gongliang and Zhao Jia were both a little suspicious.

"See Your Majesty."

"Wang Qing. Regarding the severity of his words, you should be the best in the Song Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, I dare not take it. Moreover, I have also told you about the truth about Zhang Zhifu. I guess Zhang Zhifu was afraid that Sun Mian would make things difficult for me, so I also told Sun Mian, and seemed to have told Mr. Cai again."

"That man Zhang Zhifu is not bad, I have also deliberately read some of his related memorials, which should be worthy of your recommendation to me."

Han Qi and the others were even more confused. When did this kid get into a thread with the emperor?

"I heard that someone was assassinating you in Jingyang?"

"It's because of this. I hope that the guard Quan Erzi, the eldest son of the guard beside me, blocked an arrow for me."

"This eldest son of Quan Er is also loyal. Duke Han gave me an edict and gave him 100 gold to reward him for his loyal master's performance."

"One hundred gold..."

"The country's use is like a little decay, and a lot of money has been used in inexplicable places. Is it not okay to reward one hundred gold?"

"Here." Han Qi had no choice but to draft the edict himself. He was not convinced. Even if there was not much money, it was not worth my personal introduction to draft the edict.

"Has the murderer been found?"

"I was measuring the height of the terrain at the foot of Zhongshan northwest of Jingyang County. There was almost no one there, and the forest was dense. The murderer escaped and could not be found."

"Han Qing, I will also draw an edict to order officials from all over Shaanxi to capture this murderer. He dares to murder the pillars of our Song Dynasty. He is really brave."

Han Qi finally realized that Wang Ju not only met the emperor's line, but seemed to be very deep.

The other three prime ministers were also mixed.

Now there is one thing that is embarrassing, that is, the event is the chief and deputy envoy of Zheng Baiqu’s official affairs. If it were the original, it would be fine if Yang Pan was appointed as the chief envoy. But what would the emperor think if he stood on Wang Ju’s side? It was obvious that the Secretariat was cheating Wang Ju.

"Wang Ju, I heard that you went to Chengdu?"

"Your Majesty, I can only say that I went to Chengdu Prefecture Road. I had not gone to Chengdu at all. After arriving at Chengdu Prefecture Road, I kept watching Dujiangyan, even watching the Lantern Festival, and then hurried back to Shaanxi."

"Why watch Dujiangyan?"

"I only passed by Zheng Baiqu once before, and that was from Huachi to Beijing to report my work. I used to go to Yanzhou to take the imperial examination, but I did not pass by Zheng Baiqu. The group of officials had just recovered from the battle of Dashun City and was a little tired, so they walked slowly. So they accidentally looked at the terrain of the relevant area. Of course, they didn't think about Zheng Baiqu at that time, but they were lucky enough to remember some terrain. Therefore, when Han Gong wanted me to rebuild Zheng Baiqu, I recalled this memory and found that if I wanted to build Zheng Baiqu, I not only had to open stone canals in many areas, but also large water dams to store water and divert water. Although I had some ideas, I dare not blindly verify it. Moreover, this verification was not something I could see back then, and it had to go through hundreds of years of test. Therefore, I wanted to go and see Dujiangyan and learn from it directly."

In fact, Dujiangyan has had some problems due to disrepair for a long time, but that has nothing to do with Wang Ju.

"I understand, then how do Zheng Baiqu plan to repair it?"

"When I went to see Dujiangyan, Yang Gou, Cheng Dujian and Hou Magistrate had carefully explored. At present, they put forward two suggestions, one is to start from the Hongkou of Shimen, to the Camel Entrance, and meet with Baiqu, and only travel more than ten miles. This suggestion does not require much labor, and is mostly in plain areas, and the cost will be very small. If you extend a little more, you can extend twenty miles to the east of Linjing Town, and enter Baiqu. However, the disadvantage is that the water level of water borrowing is low, so the irrigation area is limited, and it is even more impossible to irrigate at high places. The second suggestion is.

A new canal was opened from the north of Shimen. It was integrated with the Nanjing River from the west. It was directed into the Nanjing River into the new canal and could irrigate 20,000 hectares of fields. If the canal was opened eastward until the three limit entrances and entered into the Baitu, the irrigation area would be more. This is their view, as in my opinion, if it is reasonable to build some large water weirs. The water level can be further raised and the Jushui can be opened eastward. Using lacquer water and Jushui, then all three white canals can be restored. If it is properly operated, it will be better than the size of the Baitu in the Tang Dynasty, and the irrigation area can be close to 40,000 hectares."

"Forty thousand hectares?"

"But if you want to achieve it, the scale of the water weir should not be too small, otherwise the water flow will also cause headaches."

Later generations often say that the Zhengguo Canal is not that large, which is calculated based on this water flow. But are you mistaken? Can the water flow of Jingshui and each tributary after a few thousand years be compared with that of thousands of years? It is the Song Dynasty. The water flow is also better than that of later generations.

But if you want to irrigate forty thousand hectares, you still have to set up many reservoirs, otherwise the water flow rate will still be a problem. Otherwise, even if irrigation is done, many arable land will still be insufficient water.

This 40,000 hectares hit several people carefully. It is not the 40,000 hectares of Jiangdongwei, but the 40,000 hectares in Shaanxi. Once it is built, how much significance will it bring?

Therefore, Zhao Xu immediately asked excitedly: "So how much money is used and how much labor is used?"

"This is not easy to calculate, but although there are some unsolid oil and stone along the way, most of them are hard blue stones. Yang Gou and I asked a few people to calculate the labor that can be picked out in the surrounding counties, and also estimated it. If it is fast, it will be about three years of rebuilding according to my ideas."

"So long?"

"It's because of gunpowder, otherwise the time will be doubled and it may not be completed in six years. This is why Magistrate Hou introduced that simple plan."

"How much arable land can be irrigated according to the plan of Hou Magistrate?"

"Not a lot, and Ye Qingchen has almost completed the plan according to that plan, and the benefits are only three or four thousand acres."

"How much money will you spend according to your plan?"

"If I follow the plan I mentioned, the money that the Secretary of the Central Committee originally planned to allocate would definitely not be enough. Your Majesty, this is the heights of various places I measure." Wang Ju took out the sketch of the heights of various places in Sanbaiqu.

Everyone would not doubt this. Wang Ju used this method to flood the Xia army.

"Just explore carefully according to the plan you chose. If the money is insufficient, I will allocate it to the inner treasury. Even if you save a single sacrificial amount in the palace, you must save this money."

"If this happens, I will find a way to get some money." But Wang Ju shook his head as he said, even if the soybean wine can make a year? By the way, by the way, I don't know what the Song people would react to when they hear the use of ashes to burn porcelain. However, it is a lot of money to put this money on one household, but what is it to put it on such a big project?

"You are loyal and commendable," Zhao Xu said deliberately as if he was casually speaking. In fact, he deliberately glanced at the few people. The boss was not rich in his family, but that person said that? Of course, Zhao Xu couldn't force them to "donate" forcibly, but he was a little disappointed.

As he was speaking, a yellow door outside said, "Your Majesty, the Censor Jiang Zhiqi handed over a memorial."

Zhao Xu opened it and looked at it, furious: "Take him to the Political Affairs Hall."

After a while, Jiang Zhiqi brought it to the Political Affairs Hall, and Zhao Xu threw the memorial in front of him: "Jiang Zhiqi, you are the censor and the country's minister, you should speak honestly, rather than destabilizing the black and white, and beating the superiors! What are you dereliction of duty and what are you brave and reckless? I think you are a person who dereliction of duty and boldness."

Han Qi thought to himself what was wrong. He picked up the song and looked at it. It was made by Wang Ju. So he looked at Jiang Zhiqi with some sympathy, and a little worried in his heart.

Zhao Xu was still very quiet at this time.

But he had become dissatisfied with Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu very early on.

One is finance, the other is Puyi.

Not only did he oppose his father's Pu Yi, but in fact, even Gao Taotao advised Zhao Shu in the harem, but Zhao Shu refused to listen.

Right or wrong, please see what the people want.

Zhao Zhen died, and everyone in the capital was like a loss of his parents. Zhao Shu died, and none of the people in the capital cried. They should play and have fun.

From Han Qi's standpoint, they also made Zhao Shu suffer.

From the standpoint of Zhao Xu and Gao Taotao, it was because the two prime ministers who could influence their father and husband did not persuade him, otherwise how could the husband be obsessed with it?

So Zhao Xu overturned the Puyi dispute soon after, and Gao Taotao did not object. Even when Zhao Xu began to reform, Gao Taotao did not object. When some controversial reforms were introduced, Gao Taotao's ideas changed a little. However, Gao Taotao still remained silent. His son wanted to use this money to strengthen the army, so let's make money. As a result, the five defeats of Xia were defeated, and Yongle City was defeated again. In addition, the people of Gao Cao's family tried hard to tinker with bad things in the back, so Gao Taotao's mentality began to be distorted.

This is also a change in mental path, so Wang Ju knew that Sanbaiqu was a pit last year, but he still jumped. If Gao Taotao did not develop his mental path later, he could not make the destruction of Xia and Yongle City a tragedy. However, before the three armies moved, food and grass were the first, and logistics was the key, so Sanbaiqu also became the key!

But Han Qi's prime ministers in the three dynasties were very big and deep, and Zhao Xu was still a little afraid now.

So he was waiting for the opportunity.

The first opportunity came, Zhao Shu passed away, Ouyang Xiu might be a little anxious, or a little careless, and did not take off his official uniform, but just put on his clothes outside and went to Funing Palace.

Liu Xiang was cheated by Ouyang Xiu for a while and was not very happy, so he impeached Ouyang Xiu to wear purple clothes, which is purple official uniforms.

If Zhao Xu had a good impression of Ouyang Xiu, then he would pretend to be deaf and dumb.

But on the spot, Zhao Xu sent an envoy to order Ouyang Xiu to take off his official uniform immediately.

In fact, this is also a signal from Zhao Xu that I am not satisfied with Ouyang Xiu.

But Ouyang Xiu's political actions in his later years were indeed very incompatible with his articles.

The reason why Zhao Xu attacked Ouyang Xiu first was very simple. There were many inconveniences in fighting Han Qi, and he had to act Ouyang Xiu first because Ouyang Xiu was Han Qi's number one mouthpiece and helper.

However, after this signal was sent, there was still no sound in the entire court.

The reason is simple. Some of the big mouths against Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu were demoted from the court by the two. The rest of the people opposed it, but they were not big mouths and didn't want to be troublesome.

Therefore, in February, Zhao Xu personally gave Li Duanyuan a letter: You are living in a nearby place, and Zhong assisted the previous dynasty, and resisted the seal and seal, and all the key points were held. Before the previous emperor could do anything, he abandoned all over the world. He should clash with the beginning of the succession of the throne. This is the autumn when the king has done his best. Don’t abandon the cold and do not forget to ask for help. If you lose loyalty, you can help me to achieve your career and revitalize the progress. You should do the first priority now, and you should hear it in detail.

Why is Li Duanyuan?
