Chapter 727

However, the servant of the Ministry who was caught by the Son of Heaven and complained about it finally told the truth, the temper and character of the Wang Daguan, no official dared to go, and he was willing to follow him.

These words choked Zhao Xu, the young genius, to death, but after thinking about it carefully, Wang Wushan's temper is indeed not good, but the problem is that someone has to do things, and after thinking about it, Zhao Xu finally thinks that it is better to ask the scheming imperial grandmother for advice or two.

However, after rushing to the Spring and Autumn Palace, he learned that the imperial grandmother had gone to the Empress Meng again, and Zhao Xu naturally did not dare to slack off, and hurried towards the Empress Meng's side.

I happened to see the imperial grandmother chatting with the Meng family there, and from time to time let out a happy laughter. Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu's face couldn't help but smile a little more, and when his eyes fell on Meng's body, he was also a little more concerned.

"Your Majesty......" Empress Meng Shi turned her head consciously, and saw Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, standing outside the palace gate with a smile and looking at herself, and quickly got up.

As a result, half of his body was stopped by Gao Tao before he could stand up. "Don't worry, what's the panic, he's not a tiger, can he eat you? You're a person with a body now, don't be as rough as a little girl, what if there's something, what can you do with your old body......"

Meng Shi was instantly embarrassed, and Zhao Xu hurriedly walked into the hall and saluted respectfully towards Gao Tao. "The grandson has seen the imperial grandmother......"

"Why don't you hurry up and help your daughter-in-law......" Gao Tao said angrily, as if he was very disgusted with Zhao Xu and had no eyes. Zhao Xu couldn't cry and laughed, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Queen Meng, and asked her to sit on the soft couch again.

"It's just the first pregnancy, you must be careful, you have to be at ease to raise the baby, you just want to keep a happy mood, you know? ......" Gao Tao energetically admonished Meng Shi, and Meng Shi nodded in addition to nodding.

And since this period of time, it seems that she no longer listens to politics, there are no more troubles about government affairs, coupled with the growing maturity and stability of the young emperor, so that she is a lot more relaxed physically and mentally.

And Queen Meng often came over to chat with her to relieve her boredom, especially just five days ago, after the imperial doctor had diagnosed that Queen Meng was pregnant, the smile on Gao Tao's face almost never stopped.

It seems that his wish to have a great-grandson is not just a dream, and in eight months, it will become a reality by this winter.

"It seems that the official family is still very concerned about the queen, this court dress has not been changed, and it will come here as soon as the dynasty is dispersed......" Gao Tao looked at the Meng family who was gradually becoming round and jade in front of him, and the son of heaven Zhao Xu, who carefully took care of the clothes for the Meng family, was very relieved in his heart.

"Imperial grandmother, in fact, my grandson happened to have something to look for you, but I heard that the people in the Spring and Autumn Palace said that you came to the queen, so the grandson rushed over......" Zhao Xu's words were true, so Gao Taotao couldn't help but stare at this guy, without a look, old woman, I am cultivating the relationship between the two of you, you are good, you are so stunned, and I am not afraid that my daughter-in-law will be unhappy.

Gao Taotao glanced slightly, but saw that Meng's pair of crystal bright eyes were bent into two string moons, staring at Zhao Xu who was talking seriously with tenderness and sweetness, okay, she likes it.

"Okay, daughter-in-law, you can rest and rest, the official family is willing to go out for a walk with the old man?" After the two of them said a few words, Gao Taotao and the Son of Heaven came outside, it was almost the third month of spring, and it was the time when spring was bright.

The grandfather and grandson walked leisurely, walking towards Zhao Xu's imperial study not far away, and along the way, Zhao Xu told his thoughts one by one to the scheming imperial grandmother.

Gao Tao listened to Zhao Xu's words, narrowed his eyes and muttered for a long time, then smiled. "What a big deal it is to mourn the family, isn't it that there is no salt official who is willing to go to work? Since this is the case, let him Wang Wushan figure it out by himself. ”

Seeing Zhao Xu's puzzled face, Gao Tao explained. "Most of the salt and iron in my Great Song Dynasty are directly managed by the imperial court, but in some places, because of their remote location, it is difficult to transport salt and iron into Beijing, in this case, it is not without ......precedent for local officials to operate."

"What's more, I have always been short of salt in the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty, and now I have Yanzhou, with an annual output of more than 200,000 stones, how should it be enough to supply the local area, in this case, look at Wang Wushan's thoughts, anyway, with his talent, I believe that it is not difficult to serve as a salt official again."

Zhao Xu was right when he thought about it, since the officials on the court side were unwilling to do it, then this mess could be done by Wang Yang next, anyway, this ghost has a lot of ideas, and he can always have a way to solve it.

"Thank you for the guidance of the imperial grandmother, the stone in my grandson's heart has finally landed, and my grandson has just received a letter from Wang Wushan, and he wants to prepare to rebuild the state city of Yanzhou."

"Why?" Gao Tao looked at Zhao Xu in amazement. Building a city is not a trivial matter, and the amount of money consumed is not a small amount, and the labor required by the people is also a headache.

"What he means is that Yanzhou City is too small and too old, and today's Yanzhou City is made of earth and stone, not only the city wall is low, but also the area of the city is too narrow, after so many years of wind, frost, rain and snow, plus the Xixia people have not repaired for many years, it is already useless."

"In the eyes of Wang Wushan, Yanzhou City has an excellent terrain, to the north, looking at Xingqing Mansion, facing south, is Huanqing Road, an important military town of our Great Song Dynasty, and to the east, it is a pasture with fertile water and grass, which is the trade, economy and transportation ......hub of the northwest land controlled by the Great Song Dynasty in the future."

Under Zhao Xu's instructions, the eunuch in the imperial study hung up a map of the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty.

In front of that more intuitive map, Zhao Xu continued to talk about the benefits that Wang Wushan's proposal could bring, with the current Yuanyou cement of the Great Song Dynasty, the arrival of a large number of migrants, it is not too difficult to rebuild a Yanzhou city.

Wang Yang's meaning is that the Yanzhou City to be built is more northwest than the old Yanzhou City, where there is a very suitable place to build the city, one side is facing the water, the other side is against the mountain, and it is only a hundred miles away from the Baishi City on the edge of the desert, so that the new Yanzhou City can completely rely on each other with the White Stone City, if the Western Xia comes to attack, the Great Song Dynasty will be easier to carry out joint defense.

Moreover, when Yanzhou City is repaired here, it is only more than 380 miles away from Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Western Xia, which can cause greater oppression to Western Xia.
