Chapter 1120: Wang Kechen
Chapter 1120 Wang Kechen
Because there is a huge downstream water network and two large lakes in the upper reaches of Juyeze and Liangshanbo, even if the Yellow River burst its banks the year before last, it did not cause Yunzhou City to suffer too much loss.
The first thing Wang Kechen did when he came to Yunzhou was to overhaul the lake embankment not far from the city, which attracted the dissatisfaction of local officials and gentry.
The Yellow River is flooded, but the people of Yunzhou are not worried at all, and they are quite unimpressed with Wang Kechen's actions of inspecting the river embankment every day.
But Wang Kechen was terrified, because before leaving Beijing, Su You repeatedly told him that if the Yellow River must be broken, there would be no two places, Huang in the north and Puyang in the south.
Decide Nei Huang, Xiangzhou, and the Daimyo Mansion will become a Ze country.
Decide Puyang, that is, you can't run away from Yunzhou.
Su You's forward-looking vision is like a crow's iron mouth for Wang Kechen, and his words must be true.
Since he said that, and Yunzhou is so important, there is no chance of luck.
In order to prevent floods, Wang Kechen even did not hesitate to relocate the entire state capital Linhu to the other, which is equivalent to moving the entire city of Yunzhou to the east for two miles, and it is located in a higher place.
This incident consumed Wang Kechen's great energy and character, but fortunately, although the officials and gentry opposed it, they received strong support, funds, and material assistance from the factory owners mainly in Sitong.
Su You, who was far away in Bianjing, expressed strong support for this, and through the Huangsong Bank, Wang Kechen received an interest-free loan of 500,000 yuan for the purchase of cement, explosives and other urgently needed materials.
The common people were not highly motivated to work in the past, and that was because the wages given by the imperial court were not enough.
The prince is not easy to encounter than a flood, although the project is urgent, but the money for materials is lenient.
If you have milk, you are a mother, and you can do it so hotly.
The general judgment who followed Wang Kechen's inspection is still persuading hard: "Ming Gong, Puyang is so far away from Yuncheng, and now the city has been moved to a high place, and there is such a large water surface outside the city, even if there is more water." ”
"Before the three flood peaks, the Yellow River embankment was as safe as a rock, and it rained heavily for several days, and the water level of Liangshanbo did not rise much......"
"Even when the levee burst the year before last, the water had just arrived outside the city, and the disasters were all fields around the lake, and most of the industrial bases were still fine......
The setting of local officials in the Great Song Dynasty actually has the significance of restricting the power of Zhizhou, so there is obviously a political game between the first and second leaders in the local government.
Su You's local practice has always been to have a clear division of labor, each with its own responsibilities, and the minister's money is all at the disposal of the second-in-command, and he has nothing to do with his own money, and the second-in-command has nothing to say about political power and economic interests.
Wang Kechen doesn't need it, his identity is also very special, he is both a noble and a civil servant, so he dares to make trouble with him, he can make trouble more than you.
When you become a nobleman, you will definitely reason with you?
For example, in the use of funds for the infrastructure project in Yunzhou City, Wang Kechen monitored it very strictly, and approved a pen, and all uses must be approved by him.
For those who are unreasonable, at a glance, they know that it is for the benefit of greedy ink, Wang Kechen not only did not give approval, but also called the person who proposed it over and scolded him in front of the public.
But for the people, Wang Kechen's wages were very abundant, and they were at the same level as the workers in the Sitong Construction.
This policy played a decisive role in relocating the villages along the lake to the interior.
The land in the villages along the lake is basically flooded once a year, starting from the water receding to rushing for seeds, and then coming to the water to grab the harvest, which is the case every year.
Once the water comes earlier or recedes later in a given year, the people along the lake may have a hard time and have to rely on touching hairy crabs to survive.
In the border of Hebei, per capita land is not a problem, as long as the land in the east can be continuously watered, the people themselves are willing to move.
Therefore, Wang Kechen's actions in Yunzhou are very different from those of his predecessors.
They all developed industry, but Wang Kechen focused on water conservancy and agriculture.
If you want to say that the general judge has a lot of opinions on Wang Kechen, it is not right, but it is just sandwiched between the gentry and Wang Kechen, and it is not good to be a man.
Wang Kechen smiled: "You have it, who asked you to beat the side drum?" Those lands in the north of the city show me death, one ding and twenty acres is the upper limit, don't talk to me about any piece of land that is not easy to manage, what I want is this fragment! ”
"Especially the kind of brothers in the family, the plot is resolutely not adjacent, although I feel a little troublesome now, after a few years, I will know that my old king is good!"
The land adjacent to the brothers is actually the easiest to dispute, and it is difficult for the Qing officials to decide the family affairs, and it is also very easy to involve the support of the parents, taking care of the children and nephews, secretly moving the border, and the promise on the wine table to not admit the right and wrong after drinking.
Wang Kechen is a capable minister, and he has long seen these thoroughly, and the land between the brothers is connected, and there is a problem that it is very easy to form forces, bully the surrounding weak, and finally become a merger force.
The reason why the gentry opposed Wang Kechen was because of this, which made it more difficult for them to annex in the future.
The judge smiled and said: "Yes, Ming Gong's move has its own deep meaning, how can outsiders know." However, the lower officials are for the Ming Gong, before ordering the people to enter the slaughter, the Ming Minister made the rich lose two-thirds, and now they can't get any benefits from the fields, so it is inevitable that there will be some complaints. ”
Wang Kechen stopped: "Joke! The land in the north of the city is compensated according to the area occupied by the demolition, have they really suffered a loss? ”
"When Fan Wei was appointed as the general judge of Yunzhou and governed the river defense, he once said, 'The rich and the poor are different but the severity is similar, and the peasants will be in great difficulty.' And the edict makes the people's strength, and now they are all taken, which is wrong. ’”
"Not only did he do it himself, but he also asked 'because of the invitation to go down to the states to take Yun as the lead', and the court obeyed at that time."
"The old man is just a Xiao Gui Cao, and the rich lose a third more, that's the old rule. Is it true that the old man, this Jinshi, was deceived? Don't know these allusions to Yunzhou City? ”
"What's more, the big head is the Sitong business, ah, there is also the Royal Charity Fund operated by Shaobao, and the interest-free loan of the Huangsong Bank...... Eh, the old man is about to ask, if the old man really wants to practice Wang Anshi's method, they will feel comfortable in their hearts, right? ”
"No, no, no......" Tong was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand: "That's not what it means......"
"Still!" Wang Kechen said: "Don't get an inch, you must know that the old man has a lot of means to enter, and they can retreat, then there are not many, so everyone is still pulling honestly, just get by." ”
"Yes, yes......" The general judgment was completely honest: "Isn't this afraid that too much labor will attract criticism from the DPRK and China, and affect the performance appraisal of Lao Minggong......
Wang Kechen said with a smile: "Don't be afraid of this, Su Mingrun said it well, in Yunzhou, industry has risen, but a beauty covers up a hundred ugliness, and many things that should be done have not been done." ”
"The amount of water that can be held in this barrel is not based on the longest plank, but on the shortest one. We haven't been vigilant since the year before last, and God generally won't give us a chance to do it all over again! ”
Seeing that the verdict was speechless, Wang Kechen said: "Where is Wang Lingxi, are the materials properly prepared?" ”
The general judge arched his hand and said: "With the Yongdao built under the auspices of the Ming Gong, now the transportation of materials is fast, and they are all ready." ”
Wang Kechen nodded: "Don't cut corners, I'll go and see tomorrow." ”
The two continued to inspect, and Wang Kechen also brainwashed the general judge: "You, your ears are too soft!" Su Mingrun ruled Kaifeng back then, and that was really called leaving hands everywhere, and there was more than one piece. ”
"Knowing that he kept Kaifeng at night, did His Majesty refuse to summon him?"
"Huh?" The general judgment was frightened: "How old was the Duke of Yuguo back then, and he dared?" ”
"He just dares! Do you know what he said to his subordinates? Wang Kechen said: "He said at the time, you should treat it as the first night of this year, and there must be a fire in Kaifeng City!" ”
"And what I want to say is that you should treat Yunzhou City this year, and you must send a big flood to treat it!"
As soon as the two of them chatted here, they saw a pegasus galloping from afar, the rider was dressed in a new army uniform, with two red flags on his back, and the horse was very powerful.
The sentence is stupid, Wang Taishou, are you considered a crow with an iron mouth?! Does it count?!
Wang Kechen's heart also jumped wildly: "Something is wrong!" ”
