However, the river was also cured and the money was spent. There was nothing we could do about this incident in Xixia.

Han Jiang didn't mention it either.

After hearing that he had finished reading the memorial, Song Xiang stood up and said, "Han Zhongcheng, it is not necessary for the imperial court to use Zheng Lang. Now he is managing the river engineering, how can he be a member of the Secretary of the Central Committee?"

"Can't you manage the river in the Secretariat?"

Song Xiang was speechless.

Han Jiang's statement was quite popular. In the Song Dynasty, Zheng Lang had been on the rise and Bianjian for almost nine years and could return to the court based on his qualifications. So many ministers agreed.

Han Qi finally stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think Zheng Lang can return to the Secretariat and serve as the Prime Minister, but it is not at this time. Although the Secretariat can also take care of Hegong at the same time, it is still different from doing it by himself. Hegong comes from Yangzhou in the south to Cangzhou in the north, goes to the sea in the east, and goes to Sanmen in the west. The scale is greater than that of the Grand Canal of Emperor Yang of Sui. The vast wealth has never been seen since ancient times. For public and private matters, the court does not obey the imperial edict at this time to return to Zheng Lang as prime minister."

After saying that, he slowly retreated.

The ministers dare not say anything more. This is more than 200 million yuan. The first year alone spent more than 60 million yuan. The project volume this year is even larger, and it is not necessarily clear how much money will be used in the end. Compared with this, a prime minister's position is nothing.

But strangely, the wind of impeachment disappeared.

Before Sima Guang left, he asked Pang Ji to shout, and after saying a few words, Sima Guang left the capital.

When he saw Zheng Lang, he said, "Duke Zheng, you will have several major political enemies in the future."

"What's the solution?"

"I saw in the court that Mr. Pang's health was getting worse and worse. Although the rich man was in good health, he was still not as brave as other men. Especially Mr. Han and Mr. Wen, he was in good health, and had extremely high wrists. He also had many differences with Mr. Zheng's political views."

"It's okay," Zheng Lang said lightly. Whether Wen Yanbo, Han Qi, or Ouyang Xiu, that one is not as good as your opponent to Wang Anshi.

But Zheng Lang was also worried about money and silk. Zheng Lang could not calculate the specific amount of the project and how much money and silk were used. It could be estimated if it was completed in four years. If the labor force exceeded his expectations, more labor force must be requisitioned, and the money and silk would be overspent.

In fact, with money, there will be labor. The project involves the entire Sixth Road in the North, with a dense entrance, with a total entrance of nearly five million households, and at least half of those with a fifth-class household or less. If calculated from the fourth-class household, there are at least 3.5 million households to 4 million households, that is, laborers who barely maintain food and clothing can reach more than 6 million. If you are not afraid of financial difficulties and mobilize various states to provide assistance, you will have enough labor. But money will be used even more.

Wang Anshi also responded to this question and said: "Mr. Zheng, the project is bigger than expected."

Zheng Lang nodded.

"Or push it for a year." Wang Anshi asked tentatively. After pushing it for a year, wealth will slow down and ministers will complain less.

"No," Zheng Lang flatly refused.

Wang Anshi looked at Zheng Lang in confusion, and knew the truth. Zheng Lang did not intend to enter the two palaces, of course, not necessarily. Those who know the truth may not be able to enter the two palaces. Besides, the matter has been a long time ago, and no ministers have paid attention to the princess anymore. But for Zheng Lang, there is almost no difference between one year earlier and one year later.

Zheng Lang said: "Jie Fu, Junshi said that Pang Chunzhi's health is not very good, but have you ever thought about another body?"

"His Majesty?"

"It's him, and His Majesty has never been in good health."

"But your Majesty, there are those ten pavilions."

"I have advised you to use the yinyang balance metaphor, how can you speak directly?"

Wang Anshi's forehead said, this matter is not easy to say. Your Majesty, you are in poor health and have few sexual intercourse.

"His Majesty……"

"Can you understand your Majesty's mood?"

Wang Anshi was speechless, and he could only say to Wang Anshi, two students and two freaks, but they just didn't take concubines. Wang Anshi also had a son, Wang Rong, and Sima Guang had no son. He didn't listen to him if he tried to take concubines. He didn't know what Sima Guang thought, or if there was something wrong with sexual intercourse, Zheng Lang was also not easy to ask. Sima Guang asked a nephew of the clan to come over and stay with him as an adopted son. Therefore, he could only say to Wang Anshi.

He also said: "I am also worried about an accident. Once the Yellow River is managed, my internal governance will be truly close to the peak. Let Your Majesty take a look."

I used the word "close" and did not reach it. The various institutional disadvantages have not been solved. The four routes of Kuixia are still difficult.

But unexpectedly, Pang Ji began to give up.

After repeated impeachment by Yanchen, Pang Ji wrote a letter to Zheng Lang, saying that I could only hold on for one year and decided to retire next year. I was not in good health, and I racked my brains for government affairs, but was attacked by Yanchen again. Pang Ji wanted to retreat.
