Chapter 353: The Vortex
readx;
In the vertical arch hall, Zhao Ji and the ministers all praised one after another. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½.
Win over Goryeo, divide the Jurchens and the Bohai Sea, let Liao worry about domestic and foreign troubles, and reduce the pressure on the Song Dynasty.
Almost without a single soldier, just using some commercial means. This is also beneficial and harmless to the Great Song Dynasty, the East Pearl and Ginseng between the White Mountain and the Black Water are all treasures, and they can definitely be sold at a good price in the Great Song Dynasty.
Lin Zhao was also muttering in his heart, this trade route in the northeast is profitable, and he has to find a way to get the Meng family firm to participate in it! As for the Silk Road passing through Hehuang and Tibet in the west, I am afraid that it will be temporarily blocked in the near future.
Just thinking in his heart, Zhao Ji asked in a deep voice: "This plan is very good, but who should be sent to Liaodong?" ā
Everyone's eyes fell on Lin Zhao again, and Lin Shilang, who proposed this plan, seemed to be the most suitable person. Whether it is eloquence or ability, especially such a big strategy as presiding over it, or he proposed it himself, all aspects are very suitable.
Lin Zhao couldn't help but be covered with black lines, could it be that the envoy had become his fixed label? I don't have the time to leave Bianjing, and I don't have the heart to deal with a veritable stick!
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry will also preside over the resumption of the canal's navigation, and furthermore...... Chen's two wives are about to give birth! Lin Zhao's voice was very low, after all, it was a little inappropriate to say such a very personal reason in the court.
But Zhao Ji didn't care too much, but there was a kind of resonance in his heart. His two concubines are not going to give birth, and they are looking forward to being fathers, so they fully understand Lin Zhao's mood. Moreover, Lin Zhao is a squire of the Ministry of Works, and the resumption of navigation of the canal is also very important, and he must not leave his post without permission.
But in this case, to whom should the mission be handed over? Zhao Ji couldn't help frowning again.
Seeing this, Lin Zhao immediately said, "Your Majesty, why don't you take the liberty to recommend two more people?" ā
"Oh? Does Dongyang have the right candidate? Zhao Ji was overjoyed again, and hurriedly asked.
"Su Zhe and Cai Jing, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks?" Lin Zhao whispered the names of the two people!
Su Shi and Su Zhe's brothers, as well as Cai Jing, once asked him to help arrange official positions, but they have not had the opportunity for a long time. Today, he first drove the duck to the shelves and recommended Shen Kuo, and then Lin Zhao had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he had a new idea, this is a good opportunity to install "cronies", and it is the kind that is bright and bright.
Of course, neither Su Zhe nor Cai Jing are currently loyal to themselves. But this time they have been given a favor, will they be able to return to their hearts in the future? Moreover, when it comes to recommending today, in fact, they have passively labeled Lin Zhao, and they have no other choice in the future.
"Them?"
Hearing the names of the two, Zhao Ji groaned slightly. Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing's faces were already a little unnatural, after all, both of them were traitors to the New Party. What is Lin Zhao's intention? They are naturally wary.
Lin Zhao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the envoy is diplomacy; Su Zhe is calm and has remarkable ability; Cai Jing is young and promising, and he is smart, so he must be able to live up to the entrustment and win this great plan of the country! ā
The deliberate naming is a foreign affair, which has nothing to do with the struggle between the old and new parties in China, so that Zhao Ji can be less troubled. As an emperor, even if he supports the New Party, it is absolutely impossible for him to be as clear as Wang Anshi in terms of his fundamental attitude and employment strategy. They are all his courtiers, and they are all loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, and there should be no difference.
Purely on the facts, Su Zhe and Cai Jingjing are very suitable. Fu Bi, Sima Guang and others also agreed in time, even if Wang Anshi objected, it couldn't change the facts. Zhao Ji pondered for a long time, nodded lightly and said: "Okay, this matter is decided, Su Zhe is the main envoy, Cai Jing is the deputy, and the envoy is Goryeo!" ā
As for Lin Zhao's motives for recommending these two, no one doubted it! After all, without considering Lin Zhao's true identity, there really couldn't be any other bad motives! Moreover, it was Lu Huiqing who proposed that Zhao Zhao summon Lin Zhao, otherwise he would not have had the opportunity to express these suggestions at all. It is a well-known thing that Lu Huiqing and Lin Zhao have a grudge, so naturally they will not collude, so all this seems to be very accidental.
Only after the news spread, Ouyang Xiu and Zhao Luan were a little suspicious, but they were just suspicious! They would not do anything unfavorable to Lin Zhao.
Lin Zhao also secretly breathed a sigh of relief! Today, he said that he had no intention of inserting willows, although he was offering advice to Zhao Ji, but he also carried private work and installed a few people. It may seem like a small thing now, but in the future, it is likely to play a huge role. This is an opportunity given by Zhao Ji, so naturally he can't miss it......
After some arrangement, Zhao Ji and the ministers of civil and military affairs felt that the trouble seemed to be solved, so they were very relaxed, and they were all happy. Lin Zhao also got his wish, installed a few people and avoided a lot of trouble. His eyes inadvertently fell on Lu Huiqing, and his face sank slightly, this guy was still hating himself after all, and he made some small moves from time to time. It's just a clown who jumps off the beam, he won't deal with him for the time being, leaving Lu Huiqing is still useful, he will definitely not disappoint.
Thanks to him mentioning, otherwise how could he have the opportunity to point fingers at the court? And today's incident is also a reminder to Lin Zhao, the next Bianjing will be a whirlpool, to dominate all this, but you need to avoid suspicion, just stand from a distance and watch.
The Song-Liao border and Goryeo are not good places to go, but the canal is also busy!
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry has come up with a plan and decided to build the embankment in sections, and divert the various rivers to the canal to raise the water level of the canal as much as possible. If it still doesn't rain, it is estimated that it will only be able to recover three or four percent of the water luck at most! "At present, he is still holding the position of a waiter in the Ministry of Works, which is a matter of duty.
"Three or four percent!" Zhao Ji was slightly disappointed, but he also knew that this was the biggest achievement after the efforts of the Ministry of Industry. The point is still in the sky, and no one can do anything if it doesn't rain.
"Okay, Dongyang, you have to worry more about this matter, try to recover your luck!"
"Yes!" Lin Zhao swore and said: "The minister will personally come and go to all sections of the canal and preside over the project. ā
"Good!" Zhao Ji pondered for a moment and said: "At the time of the Mangzhong Festival, I will personally sacrifice to the sky and pray for rain, in order to ask for rain from the sky!" ā
The pressure of the border of Liaoguo just made him breathe a sigh of relief, but the drought is still pressing on his heart, it is really difficult! Zhao Ji is still under heavy pressure in his heart, looking forward to God's help a little more.
Lin Zhao saw everything in his eyes, and thought that he should also speed up. Of course, it's best to wait for Zhao Ji to pray for rain, if it doesn't rain at that time, it will definitely be a big robbery to his prestige.
However, this time must be well managed, around what may be a once-in-a-century drought, a huge whirlpool is gradually forming in Bianjing......
It's just that so far, the people at the center of the vortex have not been aware of it...... (To be continued.) )
