For this first point, no one dares to pack a ticket.

However, they still won an important official position - Kaifeng Mansion Yin.

Yang Wei took the initiative to stand up at this time.

Kaifeng Mansion Yin, in the eyes of some ministers, this official position has always been a thankless chore. However, if you really want to do a good job of this official, it will become a shortcut to the position of prime minister.

That's right, it's a shortcut.

In the Great Song Dynasty, if you want to be a prime minister, you must go through these official positions in the state capital and county, and you must do it well. Of course, there is also the promotion of the bigwigs in the center behind it. However, if you want to be a prime minister above 10,000 people under one person, you also need a very important condition, that is, seniority.

Because, in terms of local political achievements, he was responsible for the conquest of Meizhou barbarians, opening up the Jinghu South Road, which had been cut and ruled by barbarians, and making a very important contribution to the future of Huguangshu and the world. Let this feng shui treasure land be truly controlled by the rulers of the Great Song Dynasty from now on.

From this point alone, in the entire imperial court, Zhang Dian is obviously unmatched. Even Cai Dao's grandfather Wang Anshi is much inferior to him, and Lu Huiqing did not sit in the position of the prefect of Yan'an Mansion because of Cai Dao in this life, so his current local actions are naturally lackluster.

Yang Wei does have this ability and courage.

I think that at the beginning, when he took refuge in Lu Dafang, he dared to scold Liu Zhi's Luo Party, as well as the famous Fan Chunren.

Now, he no longer has to rely on anyone else, because the emperor Zhao Xu is his biggest backstage, if things are done well, even if there is a slight setback, the official family will not easily give up his first minister to take refuge in him.

Sure enough, Yang Wei did have two brushes.

After coming to power, Yang Wei punished a few cheating and treacherous yacha, and cleaned up the atmosphere in the entire Kaifeng Mansion that had become very loose during the Yuanyou period, and then immediately punched hard to crack down on those rats in Bianliang City who wanted to take advantage of the heavy rain to rob them. All of a sudden, although the entire Bianliang City was still in continuous wind and rain, the people were extremely relieved in this huge city of more than one million.

This is as if once again returning to the Renzong Dynasty Bao Zheng Bao Longtu.

Of course, Yang Wei is not a person who uses force to suppress his subordinates, if he really does this, the effect will be good in a short period of time, but after a long time, these officials and yacha under his hands are all human spirits, and it is not too easy to be passive and sabotage. Therefore, after consulting Zhao Xu, if any of these officials are able to do things, Yang Wei will not hesitate to reward him as he deserves, and even double the reward, and if he has outstanding achievements, he will even promote him to a higher position.

Anyway, these so-called official positions are just petty officials among them. This time, Yang Wei completely broke the routine and the previous ceremony, and all the little officials he was not used to seeing and had always held important positions were said to be exempt, and they did not discuss with anyone at all.

You must know that these dismissed officials are a family of officials in Bianliang City, and their relationship network is intertwined. However, these relationships between them are still small officials, and those officials who were born in Jinshi simply disdain and dare not participate in this matter.

Taking advantage of this trend, Zhao Xu pushed the boat down the river and crowned Yang Wei as a bachelor of Longtu Pavilion.

Unfortunately, the weather was not beautiful, and the very ordinary drizzle in April gradually turned into continuous heavy rain, even torrential rain, and the area affected by the heavy rain is also increasing.

First is Bianliang City, then Jinnei, Jingxi, Huainan and other roads, and finally Hebei Zhulu began to flood heavily.

Zhao Xu couldn't hold back any longer, and issued an edict ordering the palaces and temples within the capital to open for five days, and the various roads affected by the wind and rain did the same, and the commanders of the prefectures and counties where they were located must also enter the temples to pray.

At this time, not only Prime Minister Lu Dafang, Fan Chunren and Su Song took the initiative to be exempted from their crowns in front of the palace gate, but even Lu Huiqing and Xingshu, who had just taken office, had to apologize.

If it were left in the Renzong Dynasty, the brazen Wen Yanbo and Han Qi would definitely use this to throw this pot to the benevolent Emperor Renzong, and maybe Renzong would make an edict for himself.

But Zhao Xu is different, he has not changed the yuan now, strictly speaking, the current era name is still Yuanyou. The three most important prime ministers of Yuan Younian are still in position. Therefore, this black cauldron can't be thrown on the little emperor anyway.

At this time, some people who knew the inside story remembered why Zhang Dian and the Cai brothers, who like power, easily gave up such a good opportunity to take the position.

You must know that if Zhang Dian and Cai Jing had not left the capital at that time, the position of prime minister would definitely not have Lu Huiqing and Xing Shu. Now it seems that the two of them are really smart people, and the reason why they left suddenly was not because they chose to give up, but because they were warned by the 'fortune boy' in advance. Looking at the two Lu Xing who are now in the position of prime minister, the big guys are all related!

In July and August, the heavy rain still showed no sign of stopping, and through Yang Wei's continuous spurring and efforts, it still achieved certain results, at least during this heavy rain, the Yellow River and other rivers in the Gyeonggi area did not have a large-scale burst of banks.

In the face of such a large flood peak, the embankment guarding Bianliang City withstood the test. From another aspect, it can also be seen that the farmland water conservancy law promulgated by Wang Anshi at that time was still relatively effective in some aspects. Of course, there is also Yang Wei's credit for this.

However, other regions have not been so lucky.

During this period, the Huai River had not yet been invaded by the Yellow River, so even though the water was very large, there was a place to vent. And Hebei Zhulu is a completely different look.

In order to prevent the southern invasion of Liao, the Great Song Dynasty has always deliberately indulged the invasion and scouring of the Yellow River on the roads of Hebei. It is customary for the Yellow River to actively discharge floods here. Therefore, this time, the princes of the court and the central government also took the same measures. In order to keep the south bank of the Yellow River, they had to send people to take the initiative to dig up some areas for flood discharge again.

But what should be done about post-disaster relief?

After the profligacy of the 'female Zhongyao Shun' Gao Taotao's reign, the treasury and inner treasury saved by Song Shenzong for his son returned to an extremely empty state. After investigation, Yang Wei found that after this heavy rain in Bianliang City, Yuanyou's grain output in eight years would definitely drop sharply. And the grain in the national treasury is only enough for the people of Gyeonggi to protect themselves.

If the people affected by the disaster outside the Gyeonggi area had fled to Bianliang Fortress on their own initiative, and with the grain brought in by the canals from Naiku and the south, they might have been able to make ends meet.

But what about other places?

Of course, these things don't need to be taken care of by him, the Kaifeng Mansion Yin, but he still reported the results of his investigation and his worries to Zhao Xu.

In this regard, Zhao Xu was also taken aback, and he hurriedly sent his confidant eunuch to check the grain in the inner warehouse, but the result made him feel helpless. The situation of the inner treasury is only slightly better than that of the treasury in Bianliang City. The amount counted is only more than the national treasury into grain. Yang Wei's previous estimate was still a little too optimistic.

Because the grain in the treasury was not only prepared to help those disaster victims, but the Great Song Dynasty also had to guard against enemies in the north and south directions. The Liao State and the Great Song Dynasty have been at peace for almost a hundred years, although the Liao State also used a large army to persecute the Song Dynasty several times during this period, but the two sides did not really fight after all. However, the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty is not only the Liao State?

There is the Western Xia Kingdom in the northwest and the Dayue Kingdom in the southeast. Maybe before, after the battle of the Fuliang River, the Great Yue Kingdom had been completely scared. However, the Western Xia Kingdom is an immature wolf, which even the little emperor Zhao Xu himself knows. The reason is that during the Yuanyou period, there was no large-scale conflict on the border between the Song and Xia countries.

This is not the credit of Sima Guang and the conservative ministers,

Rather, there was also a change of regime within the Western Xia Kingdom, the Liang brothers and sisters died one after another, and the niece of the Liang family, who is now the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, wanted to stabilize her power, she had to die down, once she lost the battle, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction within the Western Xia Kingdom, and other forces would not easily give up the opportunity to seize power. This is called being still as good as being still.

And the soldiers of the Imperial City Division were also sent out to investigate in detail the grain storage situation in the warehouses in the affected state capitals and counties, and after the results were reported, Zhao Xu was stunned, and he couldn't take care of it anymore.

The grain reserves in the Gyeonggi area are basically consistent with what Yang Wei reported, which shows that his henchman is quite honest, although there are serious shortfalls, but that is a very rare exception. However, the situation in the other three areas is simply alarming.

Jingxi Road, Huainan East and West Road, and Hebei Zhulu, the warehouses used to store grain in these three areas are almost empty.

The government in the above-mentioned areas should not expect these corrupt officials to give any relief to the victims outside the city.
