Listen to me?

Of course, it can't be done, Shanghukou can't be closed at all, and the Yellow River will flow north, Xia Zhu is just dreaming...... Wang Ningan wanted to tell Han Jiang, but when the words reached the tip of his tongue, he held back again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Han Jiang said that the scholars in Hebei are divided into two factions, some like this and some like that...... Is there something in the words, he is actually talking about the Han family itself?

Wang Ningan has an advantage, he will never be naïve to think that he will give some benefits, with some cooperation, people will obey their orders, follow their own lives!

Please, don't be so narcissistic!

What a huge force the Han family is, just because of the sugar extraction, because of the spirits, plus the school education, it is completely tied to Wang Ningan, this is not a joke.

Let's ask which behemoth is not stepping on a few boats, for the Han family, the best choice is not to offend both sides, maintain friendly relations with the Wang family, and obtain commercial interests. and Xia Zhu don't need to tear their faces, Xia Zhu can give a lot to the Han family.

For example, this time, the land, and Han Yi are old and outdated, and the second generation of the Han family has not yet grown up, at this time, Xia Zhu can help and pull out the successor of the Han family, which must be unwanted.

Thinking of this, Wang Ningan sobered up.

Han Jiang didn't come to ask for advice, in fact, they already had an idea, they just informed themselves, that means that our Han family didn't make a deal with Xia Zhu behind your back, that's all!

Will you be a little angry, thinking that the Han family is not loyal and righteous enough...... In fact, people can carry Wang Ningan behind their backs, do it in private, and tell you that they can afford you!

After thinking about this, Wang Ningan didn't have any urge to mention the Han family.

You are willing to go with Xia Zhu, and if you are unlucky, you will not do my business.

"Lord Han, on the issue of returning to the river, I am resolutely opposed to Xia Xianggong, but I am light-hearted and powerless to reverse the overall situation. I won't cooperate with Xia Zhu, but I won't be a stumbling block to others. All I can say is that whatever choice you make, it will not affect our business cooperation. ”

After Wang Ningan finished speaking, he laughed again, "Brother Zihua has come from afar, he must have worked hard, I have arranged a place for you to live, and the children of the Han family will also come over in the second half of the day to listen to the teachings." ”

After a few simple words, Wang Ningan left.

Han Jiang has a delicate heart, he came over, in fact, there is an unspeakable mission, that is, to test the Wang family, if Wang Ningan nods, he can get 100,000 acres of land, this is what Xia Zhu promised!

Xia Xianggong is crazy, do you want to give Wang Ningan benefits?

Of course, it's not so simple, Xia Zhu is sure that he will succeed in returning to the river, and his credit will be poured into the sky, and it is inevitable to return to the capital. Is it just that after returning to Beijing, will you still be a privy envoy?

Xia Xianggong has lofty ambitions and wants to snatch the position of prime minister.

If you want to live in Dongfu, you have to be politically connected, and his biggest opponents at the moment are Jia Changchao and Qingli Zhugong. In fact, the enmity between Jia Changchao and the princes of Qingli is not below him at all, but Xia Zhu is too strong, and the two parties have to join forces.

Don't look at the official position of the Wang family is very low, it is not worth mentioning, in fact, Wang Liangjing is a subordinate of Jia Changchao, and Wang Ningan is an important figure in the Six Arts School, and the father and son of the Wang family are the bridge between Jia Xianggong and Qingli Zhugong.

Pull the Wang family over, at least let them remain neutral, Jia Changchao will not be able to collude with Fu Bi and Han Qi and others, nor will he be able to use Ouyang Xiu's influence in Shilin, so that Jia Changchao will not be able to threaten Xia Zhu......

As for the Han family, they are the head snakes of Hebei, and they are obviously stepping on multiple boats, currying favor everywhere, and they are exquisite.

Why is it said that officialdom is difficult to mix, the difficulty is that you have me, I have you, it has never been clear.

Just like Wang Ningan knew that the Han family and Xia Zhu had cooperation, he couldn't turn his face, and the Han family was the same, obviously there was a risk of offending Wang Ningan, but they couldn't give up Xia Zhu's line......

It's sad, but that's the way it is.

Han Jiang could see that Wang Ning'an had a deep affection for Xia Zhu, maybe he was influenced by Ouyang Xiu, all in all, the task of matching the Wang family and Xia Xianggong was not completed, Han Jiang's mood was a little low, but when Han Zongwu waited for the children of the Han family to come over, Han Jiang's mood improved again.

He pulled Han Zongwu over, looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.

"The fifth brother of you has written to tell me, you can do things, the third uncle is very happy, remember, you must not be arrogant or impatient, and study modestly. Mr. Wang's talent is far better than his age, and you are not allowed to despise him. ”

Han Zongwu was sincerely afraid, "Mr. Wang has unparalleled wisdom, has a heart for the world, has great knowledge, and has very good means. It is destined to be an immortal talent who is destined to make meritorious contributions, and the nephew can get away with following Mr. and learn from Mr. One and a half stars, which is already considered lucky, I really can't wait to serve Mr. at all times, listen to the teachings in the morning and evening, open the wisdom, the third uncle sent the little nephew to the six arts, it is really the luck of the little nephew, please ask the third uncle to be worshiped by the little nephew. ”

Han Jiang already looked up to Wang Ning'an enough, but when he came to his nephew, he directly praised Wang Ning'an as a saint.

Also stand up for virtue and meritorious service!

Confucius is nothing more than that, little Wang Ning'an, is it so great?

Han Jiang was full of question marks, but Han Zongwu's demeanor was firm, and it didn't look like he was lying. Han Jiang groaned, drove the others out, leaving only Han Zongwu alone, told his nephew about his intentions, and told Han Zongwu about the plans and calculations.

I have to say that the children of the big family are blessed, this level of wits and courage, where can you hear it in the homes of ordinary people.

Han Zongwu really calmed down a lot, just listened attentively, not arrogant or impatient, Han Jiang nodded secretly.

"In fact, for the Wang family, it is not bad to be able to ease the relationship with Xia Zhu, relying on Ouyang Xiu alone may not be able to give him enough benefits. It's true that Xia Zhu is a villain, but the villain has no scruples, he is willing to put down his capital, and he took out 100,000 acres of land at once, tell me, can Ouyang Xiu do it? After all, Wang Ningan is still young, and he is a bookseller! ”

After listening to the third uncle's evaluation, Han Zongwu was still very silent and did not say a word.

"If you have anything to say, don't hide it in your heart."

Han Zongwu raised his head, and his immature face showed an incommensurate calmness.

"Third uncle, you missed a possibility."

"What is possible?"

"Xia Zhu will fail, and he will fail very badly, and he will never recover, so Mr. Wang will not cooperate with him."

"What?" Han Jiang was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Xia Xianggong is such a smart person, he wouldn't make such a big mistake, right?" ”

"Hehe, Xia Xianggong is smart, but his cleverness is limited to power and skill, and when it comes to practice, he is inferior to many teachers in the Six Arts Academy, let alone Mr. Wang. He strongly advocated going back to the river, third uncle, have you thought about it, once the return to the river fails, the river continues to flow north, and the land promised by Xia Zhu is under the rolling river, how much money is thrown into it, isn't it all lost? ”

Han Jiang was surprised again and looked at his nephew in disbelief.

"You, how do you think that Xia Xianggong must fail? Could it be that so many water conservancy experts in the imperial court are not as good as your children? ”

Han Zongwu smiled slightly, "I don't know if there are any masters in the imperial court, but Mr. Liu Yi Liu of the academy has presided over the repair of the Ganjiang River and is an expert in water conservancy, Mr. Su Songsu is proficient in astronomy, and Mr. Wang's arithmetic skills are even better than those in ancient and modern times." Not only do I know, but many students of the Six Arts know that since below Shanghukou, the terrain is gentle and the drop is extremely low. The old way of Henglong has been abolished! Moreover, after the last year, the amount of water dropped, the sediment was deposited, and it almost became a flat river, Xia Xianggong only thought of bringing the water back to the old road, but he didn't expect that the old road was completely unusable......"

Shocked, in addition to shock, still shocked!

Han Jiang was stunned by the bombardment.

Regardless of whether what Han Zongwu said was right or wrong, he could tell the truth and justify himself, which is very remarkable. Listen to what he means, many students of the Six Arts can do it, if this is the case, the Six Arts School in the future will inevitably produce many talents, crowning the Great Song Dynasty.

Han Jiang stayed awake all night and went home early the next day.

He felt that it was necessary to re-evaluate Wang Ning'an's strength, and at the same time, he also had to weigh again whether the originally conceived strategy of stepping on two boats could continue......

Kaide, the residence of Xia Xianggong.

After only a few months away from Beijing, Xia Zhu is obviously much older, his hair is gray, and there are more and more wrinkles on his face.

is really old, I can feel the vitality passing every day, and unconsciously, I always chant Han Changli's words.

"Since this year, the firmament has turned white, and the wavering has fallen off. The hair and blood are declining, the ambition is getting weaker and weaker, and the geometry does not die from you. ”

Syllable!

The scroll in Xia Zhu's hand fell to the ground, the old minister shook his head, and was about to pick it up, but someone had already picked it up for him and delivered it to his hand.

The person who came was Zheng Xiang.

"Teacher, disciple has good news for you."

Xia Zhu took a deep breath and smiled bitterly, "You don't know until you say it, you can talk about it." ”

"Teacher, it's like this, the imperial court transferred 200,000 stone grain, and the disciple sold the land and collected another 350,000 stone grain, which is more than enough to relieve the victims. The disciple felt that it was possible to hire more manpower to block the Shanghu mouth before the cool weather in September and complete the great cause of returning to the river. ”

Xia Zhu took a breath, "Didn't you say that it would be completed within the year?" Three or four months early, can it be done? ”

"It's okay, the disciple asked, after autumn, although it rained a lot, there was no heavy rain, and the water potential of the Yellow River was much smaller than in previous years. If you block the Shanghu mouth one day earlier, the teacher will be able to return to the capital one day earlier. The disciple really can't bear to let his teacher suffer and run around outside, and he has aged too much in the past few months. ”

Speaking of sadness, Zheng Xiang covered his face and wept.

Xia Zhu is getting old in the end, and when he sees him like this, he is also moved.

"If you're sure, get it as soon as possible, but you must not be tired to death because of the rush, otherwise you won't be able to explain to the teacher."

Zheng Xiang wiped his tears, stood up, patted his chest and promised, "Please rest assured that there will be no mistakes." The disciple is willing to vouch for it with a human head! ”

Coming out of Xia Zhu's mansion, Zheng Xiang showed a smug smile, before September, the Shanghu mouth was blocked, and there were two months to remove the stagnant water, and in the spring of next year, the land silted up by the river can be cultivated, if the end of the year is closed, and the spring ploughing is delayed, it is a year's harvest!
