The opening of traffic between Youzhou and Qizhou has made all those involved in the project excited.

There have been too many controversies in the past, including the huge cost of money, the expense of money, and the death of too many slaves, so why build a railway when there is a canal...... Some people even say that building roads will damage Chinese feng shui, and some people are worried that someone will steal the railroad tracks when they are laid on the road...... All in all, varied.

But when the train came from north to south, all the arguments stopped, and in its place there was an unprecedented madness, and the economic value of the railway simply made everyone dizzy!

The first batch of woolen wool shipped from Youzhou, the price is at least one percent cheaper than the market, and the color is stable, the craftsmanship is excellent, it has been popular, and it has been sold out in less than a day.

The tractors were also well received, and some factories purchased tractors to transport goods, which were very effective. In addition, the whaling industry in Hebei was prosperous before, and a lot of fish bones were accumulated.

Some people crushed the fish bones and internal organs and scattered them in the ground, and the result was that the grain output in Youzhou increased by more than 10 percent...... Among the goods shipped this time, there was a batch of fertile field powder, which was also welcomed.

There is a saying that grain is not transported for thousands of miles, which means that it is difficult to transport things with high weight and low value...... Take the Silk Road as an example, China is rich in products, why only a few kinds of silk and porcelain can be transported to foreign countries, the reason is very simple, that is, light weight, and high value, easy to transport.

Goods like Feitian Flour are transported by horse-drawn carriages, which are not enough for the road at all, so naturally no one will be stupid...... But with the railway, the situation is completely different, not only the fat flour, but also the logs, but also the coal, these bulk materials, can all be transported.

From north to south, the railway is a strong artery, which really connects the country in series, and the effect is far better than that of the canal!

As the emperor, Zhao Shu had long been concerned about the construction of the railway, and when Wang Ningan came back from Qizhou, he couldn't wait to ask his master about the situation.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to question the effect of the railway, and the next step will definitely drive the economic development along the way, and now all places are clamoring to build the railway."

Zhao Shu nodded again and again, "I have asked, the railway between Xijing and Kaifeng will be opened to traffic by the end of this year, and by the time next year, the two big railways originally planned by Master should be able to open to traffic!" After three years of hard work, the master is dedicated to seeking the country, and the disciple represents the people of the Great Song Dynasty, thank you Master! ”

Saying that, Zhao Shu actually got up and took the initiative to bow.

Wang Ningan hurriedly turned sideways and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, as a minister, it is just a duty, of course, please Your Majesty don't bother the minister." ”

Zhao Shu smiled innocently, "Master is just too modest, if it wasn't for Master's insistence, I wouldn't have been able to make up my mind, and tens of millions of dollars will be smashed, which is really worrying." ”

Zhao Shu pulled Wang Ningan to sit aside, he stretched out his hand and drove the eunuch guards out.

There were only two masters and apprentices left, and Zhao Shu seemed very embarrassed.

"Master, the disciple has something to say that I hope Master can think about it."

Wang Ningan smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, if the minister is not mistaken, he wants the minister to work for a few more years." ”

"That's right, the world can't do without Master, disciples, and Master is also inseparable!" Zhao Shu said with red eyes: "My father said that when it comes to seeking the country with sincerity, no one can compare to Master, and the agreement between my father and Master was not to restrict Master, but to block the mouths of those old people...... Now that the Great Song Dynasty is prosperous, but there are also many crises, if the father is reborn, he will agree to let the master continue to stay. ”

Zhao Shu's words were quick and very sincere.

Wang Ningan was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty, with the power of the Great Song Dynasty now, no outsider can defeat us!" But don't be complacent because of this, the strong Han and Tang Dynasty were all prosperous and declining, and the decline was miserable, indescribable, my Great Song Dynasty must not repeat the mistakes of the past! ”

Zhao Shu immediately said: "That's right, it's because of this that I need Master's assistance to me!" ”

"Not really."

Wang Ningan said: "Your Majesty, these prosperity and decline are all due to one reason, that is, there is no pressure, slack and relaxed, as a monarch, forgetful, indulged in pleasures, as a courtier, can not fulfill his duties, but private letters, forming parties for personal gain, and doing everything...... If this continues, no matter how powerful a country is, it will not be able to afford it. In the final analysis, it is the ability of power to know oneself and correct mistakes! The minister has done a lot of things, and it is inevitable that he will make mistakes, and if he continues to do it, it will only make the omissions more and more magnified, out of control, and cause a big disaster...... If you can replace it with a more talented prime minister, eliminate the shortcomings of the minister who has been in charge of the country for several years, and then open a new situation...... I can only prosper forever in the Great Song Dynasty...... The minister suggested that after the minister, the prime minister should serve a five-year term, with no special circumstances, only one term, and in the event of war, it could be extended for one term. In this way, the prime minister rotates regularly, and the flowing water does not rot and the hub does not beetle, and it will naturally be able to jump out of the fate of prosperity and decline! ”

Zhao Shu listened very carefully, as a king, he didn't have any sense of security, but he had great trust in the master and knew that Wang Ning'an was different from ordinary ministers, so he hoped that the teacher would continue to work.

But Wang Ning'an designed this set for him, which can just restrain the ownership of the ministers! Including himself!

The power falls into the hands of the prime minister, and the prime minister changes every five years, and the Son of Heaven can naturally sit back and relax.

Wonderful, wonderful!

The more Zhao Shu thought about it, the happier he became, this time he had to ask Wang Ningan to accept his salute.

"The master is bent on seeking the country, and the disciple really has nothing to say! With Master as an example, who would dare to break the convention! Zhao Shu then frowned again, "Master, the next prime minister, connecting the past and the next, is very important, who is the candidate for Master?" ”

Wang Ning'an shook his head, "The grace of clumsy dethronement is all from above, and Your Majesty should personally look for it...... What's more, the ministers didn't count in their hearts, there is still a year to go, and let's see their performance! ”

"Yes, it's a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip away!" Zhao Shu said: "I will make up the six parts first, and I can take a look at their skills!" ”

……

The prince of the prime minister, Anshi, came back from the southeast, and as soon as he arrived at home, the eldest son Wang Yan was waiting in the study.

Wang Anshi knew this son too well, he didn't even wash up, and said directly: "Yuan Ze, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"Yes!"

Wang Yan suppressed his excitement, raised his head and said, "Dad, the child wants to enter the sixth department!" ”

Wang Anshi was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "No!" ”

After speaking, Wang Anshi was about to go outside.

Wang Yan was anxious, "Dad, the child has also been a Hanlin bachelor for several years, and he has taught the current saints, in the past, Hanlin bachelors were promoted to the governor of political affairs, and now all he has to seek is the six books, why can't it!" ”

Wang Anshi's pupils constricted, and he shook his head, he didn't have a seizure, but sat opposite his son, asked Wang Yan to pull a chair, and sat down as well.

"Yuan Ze, you also said it, that's in the past! Can today's six parts be the same as before? You've been in the capital and haven't been to a place to train, do you think you can do the heavy lifting of any of them? ”

Wang Yan was unconvinced: "Whether you are competent or not, you must always give the child a chance to try, you can't even give a chance, just say that the child can't succeed!" ”

Wang Anshi smiled bitterly, "Yuan Ze, how do you think you are compared to being a father?" ”

"This ......" Wang Yan admired his father the most in his life, and could only say: "It's not as good!" ”

"Alas, but this time for my father, I almost capsized!"

Wang Anshi thought of the things in the southeast, and still had palpitations, Manichaeism and Poyang water thieves robbed grain, and grain prices in the southeast soared...... At that moment, the heart of the reluctant Xianggong to jump into Poyang Lake was gone.

But just when he was helpless, Wen Yanbo's help arrived, and the old man was stunned to squeeze out 2 million stone of grain, temporarily alleviating the food shortage in the southeast.

Then, before Wang Ning'an left, he transferred another 1.5 million stones from Bohai State, and with these 3.5 million stone grains, Wang Anshi successfully stabilized the price of grain and exterminated the water thieves...... By the way, I made Jinghu South and North Road, as well as Juntian on Jiangnan West Road, and then returned to the capital!

"Yuan Ze, why did that Wen Kuanfu help your father? He's trying to force me to back down and leave him with the chair in the government hall! ”

Wang Yan immediately shook his head, "Impossible, Wen Yanbo has already been crowned king, why did he enter the political hall?" ”

"This is the power of King Yan!"

Wang Anshi said: "Wen Yanbo is in the southeast, so hard to cooperate, King Yan started, showed no mercy, and directly raised him high...... How much calculation is there, Yuan Ze, can you figure it out? ”

Wang Yan's face finally changed, he groaned for a long time, and cold sweat broke out on his sideburns.

"Dad, if the child is not mistaken, do you mean that this time, the situation is dangerous? Even Wen Yanbo has not succeeded! ”

"It's not just that you didn't succeed in the division, but you directly became cannon fodder! King Yan wants to lay out the next successor, you are just a national uncle, a bachelor of Hanlin, but you have to mix it in, how deep are you? ”

I have to say that after going through so many things, the political wisdom of the reluctant minister has risen sharply, and when the key is said, Wang Yan was dumbfounded, and when he came to his senses, his father had been gone for a long time.

Wang Yan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth!

Dad is right, you can't fight with them now, but it doesn't mean that you can't do it in the future, as long as you give yourself time, sooner or later those chairs will have your own!

Uncle Wang swore secretly at home.

And those who are deep in the Tao have already begun to toss.

Zhang Dian didn't find Su Shi, the two of them hooked up and found a restaurant, Zhang Dian spared no expense, invited a few dancers from the Western Regions, accompanied by musical instruments, danced!

"That brother Zizhan, the two of us are good friends, you also know that in the past few years, my little brother has suffered a lot after following your brother-in-law before and after the saddle, but I am loyal, and the sun and the moon can be learned...... Tell me, can I take a step higher! ”

Su Shi pursed his lips, "Are you a step higher?" It's 3 in a row, uh no, it's level 4! You're just hanging up now as a doctor on the left, and you actually want to take the six directly, you're too stupid to talk about dreams! ”

Zhang Dian didn't care, "He, Lu Jifu, has already jumped to the left deputy to give the matter, and he is higher than Shangshu!" I can't fall behind him, in a word, you can't help! ”

"I won't help, if you have the ability, you and the Zeng brothers will go to Sima Junshi!" After saying this, Su Shi grabbed a big elbow, turned his head and left......
