"Childe, Wang Ningan persuaded the salt merchants, and now the situation in Shuzhong has changed suddenly!"

Han Zhongyan stood up in shock, snatched the letter with his hand, read it carefully three times, and his back was soaked three times...... Damn, let him win again!

After a brief period of anger, Han Zhongyan was cold. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He and his father speculated that Wang Ning'an actually had a better chance of winning than he imagined, at least Zhao Zhen firmly stood on Wang Ning'an's side, he would not be defeated, it was a big deal to kill a river of blood, and even if he didn't issue a child for the time being, what else could Wang Ning'an do!

The reason why Han Zhongyan went all the way to Shu was to push Wang Ningan to kill people...... even wants to use the Shuzhong Jiangqing sacrifice flag...... After all, Wang Ningan is a courtier, not an emperor, even if he is an emperor, he can't kill without counting, and do whatever he wants.

Therefore, when Wang Ningan solves Jiang Qing in Shuzhong, his reputation will also be damaged, and he will not be able to burn the fire on Han Qi, at this time, the two sides will be able to stop the war, and Han Qi can ensure his own stability.

The old guy's decades of cultivation were indeed not boasted, so when the decisive battle came, Han Zhongyan ran away without hesitation.

The problem is that when he ran to Jingzhao Mansion, the news came that Wang Ningan actually used well salt to bind Jiaozi, not only bringing Jiaozi back to life, but also killing all Jiang Qing without much effort.

If Wang Ningan relied on the power given by the Son of Heaven and killed innocents indiscriminately, causing people to roll and blood flowing, his reputation would definitely be affected, even in the heart of the Son of Heaven, it would reduce its weight.

However, he relied on dignified means to defeat Jiang Qing, and then punished them properly, and the effect was completely different. Wang Ning'an's status seems to have risen again...... Even if someone hates him, they don't dare to attack Wang Ning'an with the things in Shu, that is to say, Wang Ning'an has enough energy to settle accounts with his father!

Broken!

Han Zhongyan almost didn't hesitate, and immediately asked people to prepare horses and run to the capital overnight.

When he arrived in Xijing, saw Han Qi, and told him about the matter, Han Qi was stupid!

The old guy sat in his chair and didn't move.

"You said that Wang Ning'an stabilized Jiaozi?"

"That's right, when the boy heard the news, he bound Jiaozi to commodities, and the salt merchants were also on his side."

"It's over!"

Han Qi's face turned pale, the reason why he was willing to take risks and send his son to Shu was also a wishful thinking, that is, regardless of success or failure, he would make Jiaozi yellow first.

Jiaozi is abolished, and no one dares to open the bad debts of Yizhou Jiaozi in the past, at least Wang Ningan has no excuse. You have made Jiaozi yellow, do you dare to say others?

As long as he said a word, Han Xianggong could get out safely.

But now!

Wang Ningan fought a beautiful battle, and it was only natural to go back to him to settle accounts......

"The capital can't stay!"

Han Qi quickly made up his mind, "For my father, I immediately wrote a letter and asked for an external transfer, whether I went to Lianghu or Jiangnan, in short, I must leave the capital." ”

Han Qi is definitely a man of action, for Zai Zhi, demotion and transfer are already the limit of punishment, except for Wang Gongchen, there is no second exception...... Han Qi has had a lot of ups and downs, it's a big deal that he has been dormant for a few years, and he is a good man when he comes back!

After making up his mind, Han Qi immediately asked his henchmen to write a letter of impeachment, saying that he was not using people properly, and then Han Qi asked for an external transfer...... If it goes well, Han Qi hopes to be transferred to Hangzhou to be the prefect, the lake and mountains, the West Lake singing and dancing, the paradise on earth, and the blessed land outside the world...... It is also a good thing to send love to the landscape and recite poems.

Han Qi also told his son not to stay in the capital, to transfer out quickly, to leave cleanly, and not to leave a little handle, even if Wang Ningan had the heart to settle accounts with him, there was no way.

……

"This old guy has a smart nose!"

Wang Ning'an, who was in the Sword Pavilion, received a secret letter from Wen Yanbo, talking about Han Qi's external transfer.

There was a chaos in Shuzhong, and Zhang Fangping hoped that Wang Ningan could stay for a while longer, completely stabilize Jiaozi, and deal with some follow-up matters.

But Wang Ningan was unwilling to stay longer, he had a lot of evidence in his hands, and if he didn't let Wang Gongchen and Han Qi pay the price, how could he stop!

Therefore, after Wang Ningan cleared the bad debts of Jiaoziwu and mastered the ironclad evidence, he immediately set off to return to Beijing, and with him entering Beijing, Wang Su, the governor of the state!

This Lord Wang had already annoyed Zhao Zhen because he was on Jiang Qing's side and forced the palace with them, and the emperor personally issued an order to remove him from all his posts and return to Beijing for interrogation.

The original prefect of Yizhou was left to Su Xun.

It stands to reason that Su Xun is a native of Shu and cannot be the prefect.

But Shuzhong has just experienced the Jiaozi Rebellion, and a knowledgeable person must be in charge, Su Xun himself is a cadre, plus Wang Ning'an's factors, as well as the fame of Sansu, it is most appropriate to let him sit in charge for a while.

Wang Ningan hurriedly went north to return to Beijing, and he also took a prisoner with him, none other than Su Shi's cousin Cheng Zhicai.

After the doctor's treatment, Cheng Zhicai lay down for three months before he could barely get out of bed, the former little white face, with several more scars, hideous and ugly face, and a rickety body, completely lost the demeanor of a turbid son.

Cheng Zhicai was full of anger, he knew that his house had been raided, all his relatives had been reduced to prisoners, and some had been sent to the Sword Pavilion to repair roads.

Can you imagine?

The son-in-law, who was clothed in brocade and jade food, carried a hundred and ten catties of stones on his back, walked between the mountains and fields, endured the scorching sun, and a drop of sweat fell into eight petals, and kept working......

"Kill me! Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated! ”

Cheng Zhicai taught him a crazy lesson, "Su Zizhan, you quickly let Wang Ningan kill me, anyway, the Cheng family is over, and I don't want to live!" ”

Su Shi came in from outside, looked at his cousin, and smiled.

"You really don't want to live anymore?"

"Of course!" Cheng Zhicai said angrily: "Su Zizhan, for my aunt's sake, give me a good time!" ”

"Well, well, you come with me."

Su Shi took him out to stay on the road, and walked about 5 miles away on the rugged mountain road, which is the construction site of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Straight Road......

In order to plan this road, the Royal Baigong Institute sent the strongest lineup, and after careful investigation, determined the route between Yizhou and Fengxiang Province.

The so-called straight road cannot repair a straight and flat one, and the Great Song Dynasty does not have the ability to construct this at all, and as for the bridges and tunnels, it is even more difficult.

Therefore, Wang Ning'an's requirements for the straight, as long as it can row 4 carriages side by side, it is enough, and two carriages in individual sections are also acceptable, and the load of the carriage is up to 1,000 catties, and the two carriages are 2,000 catties.

It is enough to pave the roadbed, then mix the pebbles with cement and lay them flat on the ground.

The difficulty of the asphalt road is completely different from the cement road of later generations. Think about the ancients who were able to build plank roads without cement, but now with more cement and gunpowder, can they still not do it?

It's just the actual construction, but it's not that simple.

In charge of the project were Liu Yi and Su Song, the lecturers of the original Six Arts, and a new person named Shen Kuo was added.

Shen Kuo believes that if the old road surface is simply reinforced, there is no need to make a big move.

The road surface should be wide enough and flat enough to allow the carriage to pass quickly and be much more efficient. At least there is no need to constantly load and unload halfway, relying on manual handling, in order to cross the mountains and mountains.

He planned 180 bridges and designed 25 tunnels in one go, and the construction of these bridges and tunnels alone required tens of millions of investments, not counting labor.

But there is also a bonus, once this road is completed, it will only take 5 days to get from Jingzhao to Yizhou! In other words, if 10,000 cavalry are dispatched from Xijing, they can reach Yizhou Mansion within 10 days, which used to take at least a month and a half, and the efficiency has increased several times.

The cost is huge, but the benefits are also obvious, finally, Shen Kuo persuaded Liu Yi and Su Song, and also persuaded the imperial court, tens of thousands of workers recruited from Qingtang, as well as Jiang Qing, who was raided this time, and hundreds of thousands of people in Sichuan and Shaanxi, were all invested in this huge project, starting from Fengxiang Mansion and Yizhou Mansion at the same time, and planned to be completed within 3 years...... Around the construction site, a large number of cement plants, steel plants, gunpowder factories, and carpentry workshops were built...... A large number of workers, like ants, kept coming and going.

Here, you can even feel a hint of the afterlife.

Dig rocks, fill up ravines, level roadbeds, dig tunnels, build bridges...... Here, life is not valuable, and every day people break their legs or are buried in earth and rocks, and some people fall into the river and drown alive......

"Cousin, if you don't want to live anymore, it's very simple, jump down the mountain, you are guaranteed to fall to pieces, even if you don't die, there will be wild beasts that will eat you, clean, without any traces...... It's just that when the time comes, you Cheng Dagongzi may not even be as good as these people who build roads. On this stretch of the road, a stone monument will be arranged to engrave the name of each victim, and as long as the road is there, their name will always be there. As for you, as well as the so-called Jiang Qing, they are all passing clouds and are not worth mentioning. ”

Cheng Zhicai wanted to refute, but he couldn't find any words, he stared blankly at the workers below, at a loss.

"Here is an IOU of 180,000 yuan, if you choose to jump, the rest of the Cheng family will be responsible for continuing to repay the debt, unless they are all dead, if you don't want to die, as the eldest man of the Cheng family, take up your responsibilities and pay back the arrears, don't let future generations live in humiliation!"

After Da Su finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Cheng Zhicai alone, stunned to face the sunset, bursting into tears.

……

"Cheng Zhicai didn't commit suicide?" Wang Ningan said casually.

"No, it is said that he went to see my uncle Cheng Jun, and then said that he would go to Dali to do business and find a way to pay off the arrears."

Wang Ningan nodded, "After all, it's a relative, don't look at other people's face, but also look at the face of your mother-in-law, if Cheng Zhicai can reform himself, it doesn't hurt to help him." ”

Su Shi shook his head and said: "My mother just sent a letter, she specially told not to give too much preferential treatment to the Cheng family, it would be good to be able to save their lives, compared to other Jiang Qing families, their fate is already very good." ”

Wang Ningan hesitated, nodded and said, "Mother-in-law really understands righteousness!" ”

Wang Ningan simply didn't care about the affairs of the Cheng family, he galloped all the way and rushed back to Xijing in one breath, as soon as he entered Beijing on the front foot, he heard that Han Qi was named the Duke of Wei, out of Hangzhou Mansion, and he was about to leave Beijing today!

"What a Han Zhigui, running so fast!" Wang Ningan didn't stay, entered the city from the west gate, and went straight to the east gate - don't let Han Qi go!
