When everything was finalized, there were already roosters singing three times outside the window. The east-facing windows let in the morning glow.

His mind relaxed, Han Gang took a sip of the herbal tea that had gone away, looked at his brother-in-law who was especially energetic, and asked, "Even if this matter is settled on our side, I don't know when Yuan Ze is going to play the Son of Heaven?" ”

Wang Yan's nerves that had just relaxed were tensed again, and a distressed look appeared on his face again, and he replied to the question: "This matter cannot be hidden from the Son of Heaven." ”

"Of course!"

It is a serious crime to deceive the king, and neither Wang Anshi nor Wang Yan will commit such a stupid mistake. In the previous book, the mouth of the river was to be opened in winter, and an ice boat was to be built, and Wang Anshi spent a lot of saliva in the Chongzheng Hall before the Son of Heaven nodded and agreed. Now that he has turned around, he has become using a sleigh to transport grain, and if he goes back on his word, the Son of Heaven must be unhappy.

But if you don't tell Zhao Ji, the situation will be even worse. This matter is definitely going to break out, and I can't hide from the first day of junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth. If, as the Supreme of the Ninth Five, he became the last one to know, the emperor would definitely be even more angry. So it must be remedied.

For those in high power, the people under them can be stupid, stupid, selfish, and even violate laws and regulations, as long as they are not too excessive, they can still be tolerated, but only deception and deception are the biggest taboos, which makes people unbearable.

"But I'll have to think about it."

Wang Yan nodded: "I'll discuss it with my father again when I go back." ”

It's hard to say. Going back on one's word, making a decision and then changing it immediately is called acting frivolously. The requirements of the world for the prime minister are to be calm and steady, to be able to stabilize the overall situation of the court like a pillar, and to support state affairs in the face of a dangerous situation. Such as Kou Zhun when he was in the alliance of the Yuanyuan, and Han Qi when Cao Hou hung the curtain. The style of changing day and night appears on the prime minister, that is, to poke people in the backbone.

Wang Anshi has always been stubborn, not to mention changing the order every day, in the eyes of outsiders, even if he knows his mistakes, he will not change it, otherwise he will not have the nickname of Bad Xianggong. Now that he has taken the initiative to change his course, the pressure on his body can be imagined.

It depends on what kind of method Wang Anshi wants to obtain the understanding and understanding of the Son of Heaven. Han Gang is an old god, and he doesn't care about his own business anyway. What's more, with Wang Anshi's acquaintance with the monarchs and ministers in the past few years, no matter how good Zhao Ji is, he will be kind to him, but he will just lose some face.

Wang Yan also let go of this worry, the external face problem is not the key, the key is to do things well first. There must be an inside before there can be an outside, "transporting grain to Beijing is by no means easy." Not to mention that it is still transported by sled. I don't know if Yukun has the heart to transfer the six-way shipping division and preside over all the things. With Yukun's performance on Xihe Road in the old years, Jia Yan and Brother Yu can also put their minds at ease. ”

There is a precedent for being transferred out after two months in office. There are many people who think that Han Gang went to Baima Renzhi County to survive a term of seniority, and it will not be surprising that he will change now. But Han Gang had no intention of changing his position.

It's just a joke! Beckoning and going, is he Han Yukun the dog raised by the Wang family? !

"Let's not mention that the younger brother has shallow qualifications, and he has no foundation at all in the Sixth Route Shipping Division, and he can't call that cadre at all in a short period of time. And if there are displaced people in Hebei in the spring of next year, Baima County will bear the brunt. Now I am also a thin and prestigious county in this county, even if there are displaced people flocking in, I can arrange it, and I am not afraid of chaos. If the younger brother leaves, I don't know who he is going to replace? Han Gang asked rhetorically, and said, "Why don't you do this, I'll come to the book and hand over the sleigh." As for the follow-up hosting work, I still have to bother my father-in-law and Yuan Ze, you can choose another meritocracy. ”

Han Gang's shirk was not unexpected, and he sighed, among the two things, he couldn't be sure which one was more important.

"If that's the case, then Yukun, you don't need to go to the book. There must be a report from Xihe Road in the past in the government hall, and you can also find things about sleigh cars. Wang Yan smiled, "No one paid attention to it at the time, but now that I think about it, I turn it over again - such excuses can be said in the past." ”

The letter proposed to use sleds to transport grain into Beijing, but even if this matter was successful, the credit still could not be given - the Sixth Route Shipping Division was the first to take the credit. But if it fails, the blame is shared – and it's easiest to put the blame on the sled being unusable. Since Han Gang was unwilling to get involved, there was no need for him to take this risk, and he could be regarded as his own family at all.

"Let Xue always come. He has been in charge of the six-way shipping department for several years, and now his prestige is still there. Let him preside over the matter, and there will be no accidents. Wang Yan said.

"Xue Xiang is the third envoy!" Han Gang was surprised when he heard this. He was promoted from the Sixth Route Shipping Division to the position of the Third Envoy, and now he should be demoted back? The third envoy is the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, but the six-way shipping envoy is a hard job.

Wang Yan smiled slightly: "But he wants to enter the political hall." ”

Saying that, he stood up: "It's not too early, the foolish brother is leaving." The second sister is at home now, and in two days, she will send them together. ”

The sky was already bright, and with the pattern drawn by Han Gang, Wang Yan was about to say goodbye and leave. With the pattern in hand, he didn't worry about not being able to create it.

The sleigh is just an idea, but for the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty whose craftsmanship is beyond the imagination of later generations, they also only need one idea. Just like Han Gang asked people to transform catapults, and when he built the sleigh car, he only mentioned a few words, and the craftsmen of Xihe Road built Shun Shundang. These artifacts are not ahead of their time, they are just creative, and it is not difficult to put them into practice after piercing the window paper.

"Then it's bothering Yuanze." Han Gang looked at the bloodshot in Wang Yan's eyes, and said, "I'd better have someone find a carriage, Yuan Ze, you can sleep on the road." ”

Pushing the door out, the winter morning was unusually cold. But the cold air is blowing in the face, and the drowsy mind can become sober at once.

Han Gang summoned his cronies brought from Kansai to prepare carriages and horses for Wang Yan, and asked the kitchen to buy breakfast. Half an hour later, Wang Yan quietly left the county office from the side gate with the night's harvest, and got in the car to return to Tokyo City.

Passing by Wang Yan in a hooded cloak, Zhu Li, who had just walked into the side door, turned his head and stared at him strangely. It's just that the man quickly got into the car, and in a blink of an eye he went to the city gate, so that Zhu Li couldn't see what he looked like.

It's just that at this hurried glance, the person's face has already left a deep impression on Zhu Li. No matter how you look at it, the Zhu Zhu Division of Hakuba County doesn't feel that it matches the clothes of the Shuren people on their bodies. The temperament is too different, it should be an official, and the official position is definitely not low. Ordinary candidates, if they don't wear official robes, are no different from ordinary people. Only high-ranking officials who have been immersed in officialdom for a long time and are accustomed to being arrogant will have the temperament that makes them chill at a glance.

Zhu Li is in the county office, I don't know how many people from the three sects and nine streams have seen, and he has enough confidence in terms of vision, which is definitely more poisonous than Han Gang, who is now sitting in the county government. Since he looks like an official, he must be an official. I just don't know what the big deal is in Ludao, and he actually let an official with a high status condescend to his dignity and pretend to be a commoner to visit the county at night.

Zhu Li can think of it with his toes, it is definitely not a trivial matter. For such lowly officials as them, it is better to know some things. It's just that Zhu Li has the heart to find out.

Han Gang is now in Baima County, and the pressure on Zhu Li is far greater than that of the past thirty years, and dozens of officials who have come to Baima to be the magistrate of the county. He can't sleep well. If you can grasp Han Gang's handle, even if you don't use it to deal with this Han Zhengyan, it will be good to use it as a comfortable pillow and let yourself sleep peacefully.

Zhu Li was secretly thinking in his heart, how to find out the identity of the guests who visited last night from the people of the Han Mansion. Thinking about it as he walked, he soon arrived in the side hall.

It was Han Gang who asked Zhu Li to come to the county office early in the morning yesterday, and he had something to ask.

Because of Chen Ju, he didn't feel good about the charge in the county government, and of course the charge secretary of Zhulu was entered into another book immediately after Han Gang took office. However, since his arrival, Zhu Li has been diligent, and the orders he received have been completed without prevarication or delay. This made Han Gang's senses gradually improve for him.

However, during this period of time, Han Gang has also found out that Zhu Li is a local snake in Baima County. Chen Ju's status in Chengji County is now Zhuli's status in Baima County. The reason why he is honest is because he can control the scene, and his status is too high. Otherwise, what Chen Ju can do, Zhu Li can also do.

Zhu Li stood in front of Han Gang respectfully with his hands down, Han Gang held the teacup containing the tonic medicine soup with his hand, and the hot flow from the palm of his hand warmed Han Gang's whole body.

While waiting for the medicinal soup to cool down slightly, Han Gang asked the secretary of the Baima County Ya, "Zhu Li, is your family a grain store?" ”

Zhu Li's heart tightened, but his expression remained as usual, "If you are right, there is indeed a grain store in the villain's house in the north gate of the city. ”

"These days, the grain in Baima County has been rising rapidly, and among them, your family's grain industry has made great contributions!" Han Gang smiled and said heart-wrenching words.

Zhu Li hurriedly knelt down, lay on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Righteousness is clear." The price of food is not rising for the villain, but also for the guilds in Kaifeng. If any of them dare not comply, they will not even think about buying and selling grain in the future. ”

Han Gang looked coldly at Zhu Li to defend himself. This old official, who is accustomed to the wind, can really bend and stretch, and his posture is so low, but in fact he refuses to give in half a step.

"I also know about this, just asking." Han Gang said.
