"You are an official of the court and have the trust of the officials, so you should do more for the court, with the prince as the main focus." Zhang Zai said.

But Guo was so happy that he smiled.

Who doesn’t want their children to be good? With Wang Ju’s promise, their son is equivalent to having a strong guarantee. Not to mention others, even Cai Ting, who is the eldest, praised him when he mentioned Wang Ju, and said that he was the mainstay of the Song Dynasty in the future.

Fei'er poured another cup of tea for Zhang Zai.

Zhang Zai said: "Mr. Cai has also been appointed as the deputy envoy of Shaanxi Transportation."

"Hey, how did he get transferred back to his original position?"

"You are wrong. This is a job increase. If you don't move your original job, you may be too far away from Weizhou and Chang'an are a bit out of reach. Therefore, you will be allowed to serve as the deputy envoy of Transportation to facilitate your cheap work."

Wang Ju thought about it and was probably not. In general, although Zhao Xu began to move closer to centralization, he was somewhat cautious about the border ministers. If the border ministers were appointed as deputy envoy of the transfer, the power in his hands would be greater, then he would move closer to the military governor of the Tang Dynasty.

This is because Cai Ting worked hard and made great contributions, and used it to appease Cai Ting.

However, Cai Ting is indeed a capable minister, and he is good at military and civil affairs. In fact, there are quite a few capable ministers like this. Not only Cheng Shimeng, Xue Xiang, such as Wang Su, Lun Fu, who was transferred from Qinzhou last winter, but the court did not use it well.

The women behind were cooking.

Zhang Zai was still feeling a little frown while siping the tea.

Wang Ju was a little amused and cried, and he said again: "My teacher, when I mentioned this well-field system, I thought of another person."

"who?"

"Wang Mang, after Wang Mang usurped the throne, he implemented the new policy in accordance with the Zhou Li system. The specific approach was to change the currency system and change the official system. The well-field system was restored in the name of the Wang Tian system, the salt, iron and wine currency and mountains, forests, rivers and lakes were collected into state-owned, the cultivated land was redistributed, and the slave system was abolished, and the five-way credit loan and six-dong policies were introduced, and the prices, punishments, etiquette and land, houses, cars and clothes were restored to the Zhou Li model. But what was the result?"

Can you say that Wang Mang’s reform is not good?

If you look at it from two thousand years later, Jane is so good.

But when the two Han dynasties alternate, that's not good, but five thunders hit the top and overcoming disasters!

It was too advanced, and there was no soil for successful implementation at that time.

For example, the restoration of the well-field system in the name of the king-field system was successful, but when did it succeed? Two thousand years later...

For example, when did this abolished tribe and slaves succeed? A thousand years later, the Song Dynasty barely eliminated the tribe, and it can only be said to be forced. Some backward barbarian areas still have tribes, and slaves exist everywhere. It can only be said that the slaves in the Song Dynasty had more personal freedom than those in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Zhang Zai naturally knew this history.

Wang Ju mentioned Wang Mang's reform, and Zhang Zai thought about it and couldn't help but remain silent again.

"But why did Wang Mang initiate reform? Mentor, there is a secret, that is, the population problem. The Han and Tang Dynasties did not have rice in the city, and the yield was lower than ours. However, at that time, the data of Western Han households exceeded 10 million households, which had long exceeded the limit of the land. So many people caused various conflicts, and they would die if they did not change. If they changed, there might be a way to survive, so they had to change."

The reason is that simple, don’t talk about orthodox names and consolidate your status.

This population will also be a major problem that the Song Dynasty will face soon. If there were no miscellaneous grains, even if there were no Jin people going south, once the population expanded to 30 million households, the Song Dynasty itself would have to perish. No matter what internal governance and benevolent government were implemented, a great uprising would break out sooner or later.

"Mr., why did Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasty establish a country for a long time? That was when the princes established a country and the royal family was restrained. Therefore, when watching the history books of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was no war that year? A large number of wars caused the people to be unable to expand, so there was no population crisis. The same was true for our dynasty. This situation was caused by annexation and the other was the population. The population was expanded to this critical point."

"This population is not very easy to deal with."

"It's easy to deal with," Wang Ju said.

I am not afraid of a large population, but I am afraid of a small population, but it depends on how to use it.

"It's easy to deal with?"

"Mr., when you arrive in the capital, you will know when you ask Kapoksi."

Why did Wang Anshi immediately think of Kapok Shop when he saw cotton? The reason is very simple. How many people are there in Jiangnan West Road and Fujian Road? It can’t be squeezed anymore. But without this population, what does Kapok Shop use to transform cotton?

For example, when I got Liaodong, I started to use coal and cotton appeared, so how many people should I resettle in the vast Northern Wilderness? But there are no people in the Central Plains, where can I move people? Even if the people are willing to move, officials will also oppose it.

But Wang Ju didn't think clearly about how to do it. After all, his status is still not high and he can't do many things. The resources in his hands are also limited, although the ten major families in Yanzhou were tied up by Wang Ju because of bamboo paper.

However, they are just big families in Yanzhou, not really top families. Or there is a Gao family, and does Wang Ju dare to tie up the Gao family? Wang Anshi can't do it either.

So in the end, I had to tie the internal storage, which was forced.

Subversion! Complete subversion!

Zhang Zai almost didn't say a word. However, Wang Ju liked it. It's best to go to Beijing like this. Nothing is not where you speak!

However, Wang Ju is about to face a crisis.

It turned out that he had thought that just like his own metaphor, the reforms began soon and the teams were about to begin. Learning from Su Dongpo's pace of seeking death. I believe that many people would like to stand on Sima Guang. Although Yanzhou does not belong to the Shuo Party, it would have some fishy smell with northerners. Wait until his heels stand firm and make a big change of face, but that would be too unconscionable.

He also learned from Lu Huiqing and was Wang Anshi's helper, and carefully and patiently corrected some of the bad things in Wang Anshi's reforms. So he visited Zhang Fangping and said those strange things to Zhang Fangping. However, no matter what he did, Wang Anshi might not listen to him. This is the crux of the problem. If he doesn't listen to him, he will have two consequences. If he is forced to take over Wang Anshi, he will sooner or later be criticized by thousands of people and scolded him. Or he may make Wang Anshi unhappy and be released in shame like Xue Xiang.

So this choice has been confusing him.

It was not until this time that I went to Beijing to report my work that I could clarify the hidden place and the power of the aircraft was used.

But now there is a problem. Zheng Baiqu has been repaired. His mission has been completed. The best way is to continue to let go, but Zhao Xu will definitely not let him go. What should he do then?

If the teacher stays in the capital, if he is smart, he can still be in trouble, but if he enters the capital, he can still be in trouble?

Zhang Zai went to the capital.

Then the imperial court sent a middle-level envoy to come down.

The first thing was to summon Cheng Fang to Beijing and preside over the flood discharge area and silting fields.

Sima Guang looked at it, Wang Ju looked at it, and all the two plans were placed in front of everyone. Wang Ju didn't agree with whether it was north or east. But the court had no money and had to make do with it, so Wang Ju talked about the flood discharge area and the silt field.

Sima Guang said that the east flow was flowing. Therefore, one combined the two, and the east flow plus the flood discharge area. However, there was controversy over how to flow east. Zhang Gong suggested closing the north flow immediately. Sima Guang said that the east flow would be diffuse and wide first. There was less water in the north flow, and less water would be less sand accumulation. Then the north flow would become shallower and the east flow would become wider. That was the time to close the north flow. Now closing the north flow would easily lead to accidents. And this time would not be long, three or two years would be enough. It is true that everyone knows the accumulated sand now.

Zhao Xu asked Si Shiguang and Zhang Maoze to go down to inspect the Yellow River again.

Wang Anshi said: "Sima Guang's discussions are unsatisfied. If he is asked to look at the river, he will not follow his proposal. This is a heavy responsibility to be uneasy."

This is not his statement to Zhihe, but his actual words. Apart from Sima Guang's good friends, no matter who does what, Sima Guang calls villains, traitors, and traitors, and then says that this is not good or that. If he is involved, there will be only bad things, no good things, and no quarrels, and he will not be able to do anything.

Zhao Xu smiled dumbly and let Zhang Maoze go down alone. But Zhang Maoze also had a misunderstanding. He took a brief look and said that the two rivers were 80% eastward and the northward flowed only 20% northward. Because the eastward flowed away from the sea, the flow must be a little larger, but it is impossible to reach 80%. This incident happened to the Yellow River again.

But now everyone definitely doesn't know that since the eastward flow has reached eight points, it doesn't matter if the Beigu River is closed. Therefore, it is recommended to close the Beigu River.

After discussion, we will discuss the flood discharge area and silt fields.

Wang Ju wrote very clearly on several sheets of paper, including the principle, just like a house, two windows in the north and south open, and the wind immediately broke out. But only one line of windows was opened. Although there was wind in the room, the wind was very weak.

When discharged, you cannot break two holes to allow the water to flow. Then it is not silt, but scraping mud. Therefore, you can only break out one hole and release water to kill river water. This will flow, but it is very slow, so the accumulated sand and mud settle together. No one likes the sand, but mud is what everyone needs. In winter, the water retreats, and the water in the discharge area will also retreat. Then the breach is closed, and the water in the discharge area will be directed to the ditches and ponds, so that the water in the discharge area will be established.

But in this way, Wang Ju cannot estimate how thick the silt will accumulate. First, the turbidity of the Yellow River water is different, and it is changing. Second, the flow rate of this flow is not very easy to estimate. So Wang Ju made a prediction and also a budget. If you plant crops and vegetables, it is not only the water in the area, because the water is still flowing slowly, and the water depth in the flood discharge area often reaches five feet deep. In fact, it is silt of ten feet or twenty feet deep. Therefore, the silt accumulated for a year is basically enough to ensure the use of several years or more than ten years of farming. In the future, soil is lost and the dam is broken and silt is accumulated. But if you want to plant mulberry fruit trees, it may not work. Various crops will be harvested in one year. When the soil is thin again, the yield will be very low and it will be flooded. But who will be able to flood these trees? So it may be silted for two years or even three years.

What is going on? Because no one has ever tried it, Wang Ju dared not judge, so this year it is mainly flood discharge and experiments are supplemented.

Because it is written clearly, there is no need for everyone to discuss it.

However, there is still a problem. If you can discharge floods, there must be a solid embankment behind it. How to build this embankment is also a problem. In addition, there are also some people who plant saline-alkali land, and a few families, how to resettle it is also a problem.

Therefore, Zhao Xu transferred Cheng Fang back to the capital to preside over the presidency.

This is a pilot, and there is another reason. Zhao Xu has not said yet, that is, the migration of the forbidden soldiers.

The imperial guards were too bad, and they were so bad that they were terrible. If there was no way, Zhao Xu had to endure it. If there was a plan, Zhao Xu had to take action. The imperial guards moved outside and needed this silt field!

Cheng Fang was appointed and was very happy.

Wang Ju is not easy to discourage his excitement. If you don’t do things, you can still be safe and sound. Once you do things, there are no scholars and officials covering you. Please wait for misery. Don’t be a eunuch, you really understand water conservancy.

"What a pity," Wang Ju said in his heart. It's not that there are no talents, many talents, water conservancy, people's livelihood, military, economic, diplomatic, and science and technology (Shen Kuo), but how many people did Wang Anshi use?

In addition, it is to give Wang Ju an authorization.

It is impossible for him to be the master of Yongxing Army. Zhao Xu dared to be the author, and Wang Ju dared not accept it.

However, authorization is easier, so Wang Ju issued an edict to punish the case of Shaanxi officers and soldiers selling horses, and acted cheaply.

In ancient edicts, doing things cheaply was a great right, that was, there was no need to submit any department to the Ministry and the right to investigate and make judgments, issue relevant orders, and arrange relevant measures.

This is also what Wang Ju wants the most to give the mission.

He first thanked the order, and then pondered that the horse case was easy to deal with. Through secret investigation, he had already obtained a lot of evidence. But he had to maximize the interests of the case... (To be continued...)
