Chapter 318 Qualifications
"Zi Shen, Xi Yan, Hengzhi, please trouble you." Wang Ju said.
Xi Yan and Hengzhi were two candidates invited by Ge Shaohua, one was Tao Qing and the other was Huang Liang, both of whom were from the eighth year of Jiayou. After Ge Shaohua brought them to Jingyang, Ge Shaohua did not leave immediately, but stayed for a month and compared the two manuscripts with Tao Qing, Huang Liang, Li Wan, Zhu Jun, and several others, and revised the copy again.
The two volumes of math books have finally been completed, and with punctuation, the total amount is nearly 700,000 words.
However, it is only elementary mathematics, and there are also medium and advanced ones. Only when Wang Ju edits it will cause headaches.
"Zi'an, you can print it immediately."
"It can be printed, but it's not that anxious. But Zishen, you have to do that."
"Don't worry."
"There are detailed plans I have written here. You can bring these two mathematical manuscripts with you immediately. First go to the capital, then go to the back of Kaifeng Prefecture and beside the Shangshu Province to inquire about the residence of Princess Yue, and take my name to see her."
"The eldest princess of Yue Kingdom, is he the eldest daughter of Renzong?"
"It's her, you've actually seen it."
"I've seen it? That Madam Zhao?" Ge Shaohua immediately woke up and realized it. It was not difficult to guess that Zhao Dalang was the emperor. At that time, the young woman beside him was either a princess or a princess.
"That's right, but don't disclose this matter, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings outside. After meeting the eldest princess, news may be heard in the palace in less than a few days. Most of the time, an eunuch will be sent to carry out this matter with you. No matter who you send, you should be respectful to him, there are three things that can be dissuaded. One must not be publicized. Two must not disturb the people. Three must not break the plan between the official and me. In this plan, I also wrote a memorial, and His Highness the eldest princess will present them to the official to see."
"Don't worry."
"Well, then you leave the capital immediately, and you don't have to worry about the cost. The government will advance payment from the warehouse, go to Wanchunwei first to learn its experience. Then go to Hangzhou, and send this manuscript to my brother-in-law, who will be responsible for the printing. Then you go to Fujian Road. The official family will give some instructions and arrange it at that time. You must go to Lingnan immediately. There is a frost-free country, and there is no frost in the severe winter. Therefore, after checking, you will start construction. However, the water flow on which side may be urgent. Anyway, you can do it. If it doesn't work, send someone to deliver the news to the capital. The court will immediately send someone to send some gunpowder and build a stone embankment. This time is a bit urgent. It must be all over before March next year. Of course, the spring miasma seems to have gradually risen at that time. No matter how late it is, it is not the time for construction, which will make the rumors talk after the news."
"I've recorded it, Zi'an, just let Wang Chong take me to Hangzhou too."
"Why take my second brother away?"
"Autumn is coming, if those people are brave, Erlang may not be in Chang'an City..."
"Who do they have the courage to assassinate me? The person who assassinated me was from Xixia, not from Guanzhong."
"Even if they don't have the courage, the education in Chang'an City is far less than that in Hangzhou. Besides, you have your second uncle and Li Dalang."
"Then take it over." Wang Ju said. This is like an eagle bringing a little eagle. He is reluctant to let go. The little eagle will never grow up.
"But Zi'an, you must be careful after autumn." Ge Shaohua said.
Now there is no showdown, and all the powerful are in intensive activities, but when it comes to the levy, these big bosses will be really anxious.
"Don't worry, I'll send Quan Er's eldest son to investigate this matter. I'm really trying to be desperate."
Ge Shaohua smiled and said that Cao Cao was coming. Ge Shaohua was packing his luggage. Quan Er's eldest son came in with a few people: "Dalang, I found out that Mr. Li had a nephew who was also an official, and seemed to be serving as an advisor in the south."
"We need to check this. In addition, if these people have any movements, what are the backends at home, what they have done before, how much actual cultivated land is, and what other industries are there, let me find out one by one."
"Okay, by the way, those people are making your rumors."
"Look at it too."
"good."
Ge Shaohua said: "Fortunately, is this Guanzhong or the northwest of Chang'an..."
This involves a problem, which is often mentioned in the history of the Song Dynasty.
Why are we opposed Wang Anshi's reform? Why can't we use the Southern people's statement? It is mainly because of interests. First, the reform has mobilized the interests of the powerful and wealthy in the north, and second, it has spontaneously maintained the number of northerners among the top scholars and officials.
But this north does not represent all the north, and the Shuo Dang does not refer to Shanxi. Its scope is approximately southeast of Shanxi, eastern Henan, northern Anhui, eastern Shandong, and southern Hebei. At the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, the main meritorious and powerful people were scattered in this area.
Therefore, the powerful people in this area benefited the greatest.
As for Guanzhong, it has become a forgotten corner. Even if there are some powerful people, they are mostly in Chang'an area, Zheng Baiqu has not many counties involved, and even if there are, they are not the kind of top-notch and difficult to deal with.
Otherwise, this time it would be a bit difficult.
But that's OK. Wang Ju can change his strategy. Of course, he must make greater compromises.
"No wonder Mr. Ouyang was demoted from the capital and said, "If you want to be kind to yourself, who will be your grudge?"
In fact, there are not only eight words, but four words before them, and there are no ruling people.
That is, if a person with state authority wants to give the favors of the world to himself, then who will the corresponding resentment be pushed to?
Or to put it this way, is it possible that a person who is in charge of the world wants others to say good things and not bad things?
Let me say something deeper, a person who is in charge of the world will stop doing nothing, and someone will be happy and angry as soon as he does things, but as long as he gives others benefits and only makes everyone happy, is that possible?
"Brother Zishen, do you know the source of this sentence?"
"It is said that Wang Zeng said."
"It was him who said that the background was that Lu Yijian transferred Fan Wenzheng to the capital to serve as the prefect of Kaifeng. Fan Wenzheng took this opportunity to draw a picture of hundreds of officials, and Lu Yijian demoted Fan Wenzheng to Raozhou. But at that time there was a famous minister in the court with a deeper qualification than Lu Yijian and his talent and virtue, that was Wang Zeng. Fan Wenzheng came to ask Wang Zeng. Why can you tolerate the villain of Lu Yijian? Wang Zeng said, "The husband is in power. Who will be the one who wants to return to his own grudges?" This sentence touched Fan Wenzheng a lot, so he later had a conversation with the rich man. With a big stroke, he could make the family cry, but not the one who can cry along the way."
"The king and Mr. Zeng made a point."
"It makes sense. Among the top major officials of Renzong, Lu Yijian should be the first in terms of talent. However, with the ethics, almost no one can match Wang Zeng. Fan Wenzheng's ethics surpassed his ethics, but his political achievements were far inferior to those of him."
"It's a pity for Ouyang Gongcheng."
Wang Ju was speechless.
Don’t blame future generations, even their own disciples thought so. He said, “Brother Zishen, it’s good. Of course, Wang Zenggong is qualified to say this.”
"Mr. Ouyang and Duke Han are also qualified. If it weren't for them, the conflict between the Empress Dowager and the late emperor would have been intensified."
"Brother Zishen, I only say a few things. My teacher once ridiculed me as a utilitarian, and I am indeed a utilitarian. The only consequence theory is that Mr. Han and Ouyang Xiu's merits and demerits are not something you and I can judge, but I only leaked one thing. The country's deficit in the second year of the reign of the two countries was more than 20 million yuan, which was just the deficit of the national treasury on the books. There are also places where the states and prefectures owed more than 160 million yuan."
"Accumulated one, more than 160 million?"
Ge Shaohua was scared. He didn't dare to think about this number.
"It's nothing if you actually owed more than 160 million yuan. Have you ever thought about the consequences of the Puyi dispute? It's a kind of tear. Okay, don't worry about Mr. Ouyang, go down and pack your luggage."
Ge Shaohua went to the capital.
Wang Ju also went to the canal worker and dug the Sui Cave. In fact, the difficulty lies in the channel section, a large Sui Cave. There are some Sui Caves behind it, but the Sui Caves are not very large in scale, and even without gunpowder, it can be easily solved.
In addition, all the river embankments that are ten miles long use stone embankments, most of which are stone roads. There is no way. Even if there are no stone roads, this section is a main diversion canal. If the water is surging, stone embankments must be used.
There is also the canal pond.
Wang Ju rode a horse to the canal head, and many civilians were using hammers to ramm the sharp stones on the canal bed.
These pointed stones must also be knocked off, so there is no need to pursue such integrity. However, if the canal bed is uneven, it will easily block the sedimented mud and sand and cannot rush into the sand storage tank with the canal.
The last layer of stone is left in the Qushoutang.
The civilians lifted the square stones one by one, picked out the iron chains and tied them up.
Hou Ke said, "Zi'an, it's a pity that the summer harvest has finally arrived."
The summer harvest came and the civilians went back together. This was helpless. The court did not pay any wages. What if it was not possible for others to harvest crops.
It's so deadly that after a while, the soldiers will also have to carry the supplies and will also be taken away.
Then labor will be reduced by more than half.
"Minister Hou is satisfied, and the progress is faster than we imagined." Wang Ju said.
The top priority of the first section of the project is the ten-mile long dike of the canal head, but it is only part of the project, including the main canal and branch canal. This is thanks to the previous constructions of the Song Dynasty. Although half of the main canals have changed again, these original projects have also accelerated the progress of the current, especially Ye Qingchen's renovation, which will benefit this year and next year. In addition, Wang Jitou led a good lead this time, one is a mooring work and the other is a proactive work. The nature is two different. For example, Wanchunwei, such a long dike, it will be repaired in one month, how much soil will it take?
As the two talked, the last huge rock was connected.
There was a burst of cheers from thousands of soldiers immediately.
Why is the main reason for the canal head? Once the canal head is broken, the entire Zhengbai Canal is short of water, so why are there any talks about irrigation? But if you build a canal head like this, let alone the Jing River, it is estimated that even the Ghost Sect Water in Sanmenxia will not be able to collapse. This means that Zhengbai Canal will become the best canal in Guanzhong in the future!
Hou Ke also excitedly slammed Wang Ju's throne.
Compared with the thoughts of the big bosses in the court, Hou Ke's thoughts are almost simple and cute.
At this moment, a small yellow gate came with two guards on horseback.
Wang Ju and Hou Ke went up to meet him.
The Xiaohuangmen issued an edict, which was the edict to release prisoners of war.
"What, the official is joking?" Wang Ju was not anxious, Hou Ke was anxious. (To be continued...)
