Di Yong was ordered to go up the Wei River, and Yang Huaiyu was ordered to go up along the Luoshui River to protect the embankments along the way. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In total, they solved hundreds of acts of destroying the weir mouth, killing more than 3,000 people and taking many prisoners.

After questioning, some of these people committed suicide, and some of them confessed that someone hired them to do it. Yang Huaiyu also caught a Yu Hou, directly tied him with stones, and was about to throw him into the turbulent river.

Yu Hou collapsed and confessed truthfully, he used to be the Cui family's family, more than ten years ago, he was placed in the local Qiu Ba, the Cui family has always been good to him, helped him rise to the position of Yu Hou, and also told her about his daughter-in-law and bought real estate.

This guy is still reasonable, saying that if a person dies as a confidant, the Cui family treats him well, and he wants to repay the favor...... The furious Yang Huaiyu went up to his mouth, knocked out Yu Hou's teeth, and his head was like a pig's head, if he didn't want to take something out of his mouth, Yang Huaiyu could cut him directly!

……

"It just doesn't make sense! It's outrageous! ”

Zhao Zhen, who was in Luoyang Palace, received the report and was furious.

Although Yang Huaiyu and Di Yong are very desperate, there are still more than a dozen weirs that have been opened, such as the Wei River, the Jing River, the Luoshui, thousands of miles along the coast, the water overflows the embankment, the mountain stream is confluent, and the torrent is pouring down. The river valley is filled, the flood is overflowing, like an ocean, due to the destruction of the embankment, Pucheng, Dali, Chaoyi, Chunhua, Jingyang, Sanyuan, Weinan, Huayin, Tongguan ...... As many as dozens of states and counties were flooded, and nearly 100,000 people were swept away along with the floods, as well as countless money and livestock.

It was stormy and rainy, and it took half a month before it finally cleared up.

By the time the flood had passed, some of the annoying mud was five feet thick, the original houses were washed away, the farmland was razed to the ground, the crops were buried in the mud and sand, and the harvest was wiped out in more than a dozen counties.

Millions of people have been left with nothing, and millions more have been affected by the disaster...... It can be said that the destructive power of this flood is even more terrible than the original burst of the Yellow River.

As a monarch's father, Zhao Zhen's head is big.

"Immediately stop the construction of the Luoyang Imperial Palace, concentrate financial resources, and provide relief to the victims."

Zhao Zhen was about to give an order immediately, but at this time, Wen Yanbo suddenly stood up, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks this move is inappropriate." ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned, in the face of a catastrophe, the construction project was stopped, and the victims were the priority, is it still wrong?

I'm afraid that this has been done for thousands of years.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has a copy of the statement sent by the prince here."

As he spoke, Wen Yanbo gave Zhao Zhen a thick book of 10,000 words.

It was Wang Ningan who drafted this.

When he noticed that the heavy rain would bring a once-in-a-decade flood, Wang Ningan quickly thought about the situation in front of him.

Compared with the Cui family's troubles, the most important thing is disaster relief, and we must not mess with our own side.

The crisis is a turning point, and if you can make good use of it, maybe you can make the northwest reborn!

As the creator of the miracle of Pingxian County, Wang Ningan has insight that is different from ordinary people.

In the aftermath of the catastrophe, hundreds of people were displaced, farmland was destroyed and homes were destroyed.

At this time, if you want to restore the farmland and rebuild the homeland, it will take at least a year, and for a whole year, the imperial court will have to take out food in vain to relieve the victims.

The northwest is inland, and the transportation is inconvenient, even if there is grain in the southeast, it is not easy to transport it to the northwest.

There will definitely be a shortage of food, and there will definitely be starvation!

Now the Cui family's power still exists, once they take the opportunity to incite the people and coerce millions of hungry people to rebel, it will be irretrievable.

The palace can't be stopped!

And speed up the progress!

Not only to repair the palace, to repair the imperial city, but also to repair the river! Build roads!

Wang Ning'an proposed to Zhao Zhen that the flood this time proved that the previous embankments were all useless. It just so happened that cement was researched, which was used to strengthen the embankment.

Wang Ningan suggested that cement workshops should be set up in various prefectures and counties immediately, and workers should be recruited to step up day and night to produce cement and repair embankments, and at the same time roads should be repaired so that materials and grain can be brought in......

In the year of the catastrophe, engaging in large-scale projects, large-scale construction, and abusing the people's power were absolutely reckless and deviant, which was completely different from the experience of thousands of years.

Wen Yanbo disagreed.

However, after reading the advice, the old guy had a different idea.

Cement is needed for large-scale construction, and when cement is used, he can make money from his old text! It's still a lot of money.

Wen Yanbo was also worried that if the palace was completed, what would happen to the cement workshop.

Now that Wang Ningan has prescribed a prescription, Wen Yanbo is immediately excited.

He decided to carefully study Wang Ning'an's plan to see if this kid was talking nonsense or if he was clever...... Looking at it from beginning to end, let alone it, let Wen Yanbo read it with a deep understanding.

Wang Ningan's most emphasized point is that after recruiting workers, they must be paid in full, and they cannot be less than 70% of the usual amount.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that when a worker works and gets paid, he can support his family, and when he has money, he can buy grain, cloth, firewood, rice, oil, salt, pots and pans. Merchants see that it is profitable, they will do whatever it takes, and will traffic goods to the northwest, after all, the power of the imperial court is limited, and only by mobilizing all merchants and working together can we solve the problem. ”

"If you want a businessman to contribute, you don't just give a few orders and shout, it must be profitable...... Paying workers is indeed a very good way, but the burden on the court will be much heavier. ”

……

Wang Ning'an studied it very early, because the imperial court's ability to collect taxes was low and the monetary tax was too small, so every time there was a major project in the past dynasties, the people had to be requisitioned and worked without compensation, which seriously damaged the people's strength, and many people died of exhaustion!

Therefore, the people's resentment boiled, the Qin Dynasty II died, and the Sui Dynasty only passed on the II, all because the major projects overdrew the people's strength, causing the people to revolt and the country to collapse.

Many scholars scolded the Qin and Sui dynasties for their tyranny, and took this as a lesson to tell later emperors to cherish the people's strength, not to build large-scale construction, and to rest with the people...... It is worth mentioning that whether it is the Great Wall of the Qin Dynasty or the Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty, all of them have been born by the common people and benefited for thousands of years, and later generations have inherited the legacy of these two dynasties.

Moreover, in later generations, economists told the world that when encountering an economic crisis, it is necessary to expand fiscal spending and use work for relief to boost the economy and get out of the crisis......

Wang Ningan thought about it carefully, who is right and who is wrong, the same overhaul project, some people have lost the country, some people have become stronger, what is the difference?

After repeated thinking, Wang Ningan really came to the conclusion that the key is that the financial level in ancient times was too poor, relying on coercive means to force the people to serve and abandon farming, so that the land was barren and the people's livelihood was difficult, and the people could not continue and had to rebel.

However, in later generations, it was different, because of the abundant financial support, the construction of large projects was based on economic means, the purchase of materials and the cost of hired workers, and the merchants and craftsmen were profitable, without harming the people, on the contrary, they also stimulated the industry and stimulated the economic progress......

Now that he has figured it out, Wang Ningan prescribes the right medicine.

In the Great Song Dynasty, the currency must keep up, and it must rely on economic means, not on compulsory orders!

It is also fortunate to say that Wang Ningan is in the Great Song Dynasty, which has the strongest financial ability, and he has spent a lot of effort to establish the Royal Bank to solve the money shortage. If it were in other dynasties, I wouldn't even think about it.

What's more fortunate is that Wang Ningan also met an emperor who supported him very much, as well as a Wen Yanbo who got into the money eye!

Sometimes you really can't despise the villain, the gentleman takes morality as the driving force, and the villain takes the interest as the driving force, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign history has proved that interests are far more powerful than morality.

After Wen Yanbo studied Wang Ning'an's strategy, he found his son Wen Jifu, and they dug out their minds, searched their intestines, and finally found a way.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the imperial court's annual income is limited, and it has been in deficit year after year, in order to relieve the flood in the northwest, a maximum of 3 million yuan will be taken out, and the rest of the funds must be raised locally.

Zhao Zhen rubbed his head, "Wen Xianggong, the gap is so big, how can you make it up?" ”

"Your Majesty, this time the northwest has encountered an unprecedented flood, and it is time to mobilize the forces of the northwest to solve the famine. Lao Chen proposed to immediately set up Xijing Bank to provide financial guarantee for all major projects! ”

Speaking of which, Wen Yanbo's heart almost jumped out, what kind of dominance does Wang Ningan rely on, he can work against the political affairs hall, isn't it the Royal Bank?

In charge of the Royal Bank, he even has the name of the Minister of Finance, which is more majestic than the three envoys.

If Xijing Bank is successfully established, then he Lao Wen also has a Heavenly Divine Sword in his hand!

Look at who is not pleasing to the eye, God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha!

Zhao Zhen listened silently, Wen Yanbo's proposal, thoughtful.

The emperor has the world in his heart, and he will never be like Wen Yanbo, who is focused on his own interests.

After thinking for a long time, Zhao Zhen said: "Xianggong Wen, Xijing Bank can be formed, but there must be enough talents, so let's ask Cao Tong to transfer a group of personnel from the Royal Bank, and let the Royal Bank provide 12 million preferential loans, so that the imperial court and the Royal Bank will provide a total of 15 million yuan, and the northwest region will provide 15 million yuan, if it is not enough, it will be added later." Wen Xianggong, what do you think? ”

Wen Yanbo was stunned for a moment, of course he wanted to eat alone, but his strength was limited, and in the face of Zhao Zhen's eyes that saw through everything, he could only hide his thoughts in his stomach.

In this way, Saikyo Bank was born......

"A crisis is a turning point, and that makes sense!"

Wen Yanbo's heart is about to bloom, in the past days, their father and son have been scheming, running for this bank, I really can't imagine that they can succeed so soon. I'm afraid that the Cui family can't imagine that they have helped the old man a lot!

It's just that Wen Yanbo soon ran into trouble, Luoyang's big businessmen were generally conservative, and when they heard that they were going to provide funds for various big projects, many people shook their heads, and even those who originally wanted to participate in the shares also retreated.

At this time, a group of people rushed to Luoyang, they are the students of the six arts, after the recovery of Youzhou, Zhao Zhen issued an edict to change Yuan Jiayou, next year is the second year of Jiayou, the year of the customary imperial examination, Dasu, Ersu, Zhang Dun, Lu Huiqing, Zeng Bu, Zhang Heng...... This group of young people in their prime are ready to try their skills in the science field.
