Chapter Ninety-Eight: Two Outcomes
Hearing Lu Duosun's objection, Zhao Pu came back to his senses, and it turned out that he was careless and actually became Lu Duosun's first bird. Immediately, I secretly regretted it in my heart.
Although they didn't understand the thoughts of the officials at first, but now that Lu Duosun is opposed, it is obvious that they are against the current governance of the Yellow River, but in fact they are against the officials.
I was careless and fell into a trap. It seems that it is because he has been away from the court for a long time. What's worse is that no one is shouting for themselves, and if there are one or two people to help, they will not be so embarrassed.
Thinking of this, Zhao Pu was very silent about current affairs and waited for an opportunity.
Lu Duoxun objected, and many people stood up and echoed it. I saw Zhao Tingmei, who was standing in front, but she was silent.
Zhao Tingmei also has the title of Pingzhangshi under the Tongzhongshu Sect, so he is qualified to stand in front, but there is no specific matter. But, for him, none of that mattered anymore. Isn't there still Lu Duosun waving the flag for himself!
Zhao Guangyi knew that if this continued, the matter of controlling the Yellow River would have to be delayed again. I was secretly anxious for Shen Lun in my heart, and seemed to be complaining, why didn't I play it earlier.
Of course he didn't know, in fact, Shen Lun had arranged Hu Meng to test the water from the beginning.
Just when Zhao Guangyi complained, he saw Shen Lun stand up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that now is the best time to build a dam. When the minister was ordered to inspect Yangzhou, he passed by Yuhang and found that Yuhang had built another kind of embankment, and its materials were very simple. He took a kind of cement like lime, mixed with some crushed stone, and after a while, it became as hard as iron, and it was very useful. And the material is more than half compared to the material used by the imperial court to build the embankment every year! ”
When everyone heard this, was there really such a good thing? The management of the Yellow River in the Great Song Dynasty far exceeded that of the previous generations, and the battle of the Great River was half the world. Every year, more than half of the tax revenue of the imperial court is invested.
Now the money and grain of the imperial court are about 60 million yuan in taxes every year, and half of half is more than 10 million yuan! That's a huge number. Suddenly, when the ministers heard it, they exclaimed.
However, Zhao Guangyi already knew that he was not as fuss as them. But he asked: "Shen Xiang, since you said so, have you calculated?" ”
Shen Lun hurriedly said: "The imperial court often uses Mengqiu's pre-conditioning things, such as bamboo stalks, firewood, puffs, bamboo stones, cocoons, and bamboo ropes, which are pre-made as spring materials. Why is it used as a material for spring, it is because the winter is too cold to be built. However, it is not yet cold and it is time to experiment. Moreover, after using the cement, the materials consumed, in addition to the necessary, can save a lot! ”
"Although the cost of cement is higher, the quality is many times better. The construction progress is also much faster. The minister calculated carefully last night, plus some less people, and the rest of the money and food can indeed save half of the cost! ”
Zhao Pu finally found an opportunity now, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, the minister thinks that this thing should be promoted in Hezhong Mansion as soon as possible, and if it is effective, it will be promoted along the river." ”
As soon as these words came out, some people in the entire imperial court suddenly stood up and said that the prime minister's words were reasonable. There are a lot of supportive people.
Shen Lun continued: "Your Majesty, how to make this cement, Weichen is still unclear, but he has invited a craftsman to make cement. ”
When Zhao Guangyi heard this, he said, "Okay, Shen Xiang is really thoughtful. In this case, this time Hezhong Mansion will be handled according to what Zhao Xiang said. ”
Shen Lun said: "Your Majesty, since it is as Zhao Xiang said, it needs a person who knows how to build dikes and govern it. The minister thought that Yuhang Zhi County was full of wind, and after the minister's visit, he learned that this person had outstanding points in controlling the flood. Therefore, the minister recommended Feng Manlou as the envoy of the river in the river and was responsible for the construction of the embankment in the river house! ”
As soon as Shen Lun's words were settled, he heard Lu Duoxun stand up and say: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this governance of the Yellow River is not a matter of one or two days, and there must be people who understand river engineering, and candidates who have been on the Yellow River for a long time are feasible. ”
As soon as Lu Duoxun's words fell, he heard many people stand up and echo, among which the loudest voice was Wang Renzhan, the third envoy.
Wang Renzhan said: "Your Majesty, starting from the Taizu Dynasty, whenever the Yellow River bursts its banks, it will inevitably send an unemployed court official to serve as the judge of the Ministry of Water. In the past, it has always been a member of the Ministry of Labor, and the existing Ministry of Labor has been a member of the Ministry of Labor, Lu Fang, who has managed the floods of the Yellow River, no less than three times, and the minister thinks that Lu Fang can be responsible! ”
When Lu Duosun heard this, he immediately said: "The minister thinks that what Lord Wang said is right!" ”
When Hu Meng heard this, he said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the bursting of the embankment in the Hezhong Mansion is the reason for the poor governance of the Lu side, which shows that he has no ability to govern the Yellow River. The minister seconded what Shen Xiang said. ”
Song Qi also expressed his support for Shen Lun, and for a while, the three envoys were actually divided into two factions, one faction supported Shen Lun and the other faction supported Lu Duoxun.
However, Zhao Tingmei didn't say a word, but Zhao Pu's attitude was very clear, what the emperor's opinion was, he would have his own opinion.
Zhao Guangyi turned his head and asked Zhao Tingmei, saying, "What is the opinion of the third brother?" ”
Zhao Tingmei thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the person recommended by Shen Xiang can give it a try!" ”
As soon as Zhao Guangyi heard Zhao Tingmei's words, he had an idea in his heart, his third brother has been quite dishonest recently, and he always comes against him. After thinking about it, he still said: "That's it, let Lu Fang be the right envoy!" ”
After speaking, he said: "Since Shen Xiang recommended Fengmanlou in Yuhang Zhixian County, then pass him to Beijing, and I will personally let him play it right!" If you have insight, you will transfer Yu Hangzhi County Feng Manlou as a deputy envoy to govern the Yellow River section of Hezhong Mansion to see the after-effects! ”
When the ministers saw that the emperor had taken the idea, everyone did not object.
The result of today's court meeting is that the governance of Hezhong Province has been the longest time.
After everyone went back, it was Lu Duosun who found Zhao Tingmei, Zhao Tingmei saw Lu Duoxun and said with a smile: "Lu Xiang, this king knew that you would come, please come inside!" ”
Lu Duosun was not surprised, the two of them saw each other, entered the side room, sat down with the guest and host, and Lu Duosun asked: "Lord Wang, the lower officials really can't figure it out, why doesn't the prince object." ”
Zhao Tingmei sighed, with a disappointed expression, and said, "This king will have to step up his tail in the future." Lu Xiang didn't know, this king just received an urgent secret report from Yuhang for 800 miles last night, and the book of life and death has fallen into the hands of the person sent by the official family, and I am afraid that it is almost to the capital now! ”
Lu Duoxun was stunned for a moment and said: "Lord, in this way, the last piece of weight that the prince hopes for has been lost. Wouldn't the emperor be able to do it to the prince without any scruples? ”
Zhao Tingmei said: "Not to this king alone, but to us." Lu Xiang, it's time to think about countermeasures. Therefore, today this king deliberately said that he agreed, which actually means disapproval. You also know the emperor's thoughts, as long as the king agrees, he will oppose it! ”
Lu Duoxun said: "The lower officials also thought of this, but unexpectedly, the emperor still arranged for Feng Manlou to be the deputy envoy!" ”
Zhao Tingmei smiled: "That's because you don't know the emperor." He is taking care of our emotions, and it is also for balance, which is why he decided to do this. Looks like it's time for us to take action! ”
At this moment, Zhao Guangyi is receiving a secret report, and the book of life and death has been received. What we are thinking about now is how to deal with this matter.
According to the above records, all of them were arrested, and those who should be demoted to Lingnan were demoted, and those who should be demoted to Lingnan were demoted, which would definitely cause panic among the government and the opposition.
The most important thing is that in the past ten years, there have been no less than 100 courtiers involved, and if all of them are really dealt with, this official office will not be held.
Feng Manlou still doesn't know about his upcoming entry into Beijing. Yuhang's troubles are finally over, and the next thing is to build the riverside embankment and deal with some affairs.
But the most important thing has come. That is, the wedding time has come. According to the regulations of the imperial court, officials have ten days off, that is, ten days off for ten days. This day of rest is called rest, which means that you wash yourself at home on this day and pay attention to the image. Of course, this is only a written meaning, which shows that everyone still pays attention to personal image.
In general, the three major festivals are said to be longer, one is New Year's Day, that is, the first day of the first month of each year. The other is cold food, and the last festival is the winter solstice.
The winter solstice can have five days of rest, so it happens that your wedding date is the day after the winter solstice. Therefore, as soon as Feng Manlou took a vacation today, he took Xiaoyun back to Zhushan County.
Dong Chao, Xue Ba, Sun Hu and Wang Ying also had to follow, but Feng Manlou was stubborn, so he had to arrange for Liu Dutou and the six-room scribes to take turns on duty.
And Yang Hongcai had already gone home a few days earlier. After all, the woman has to prepare more. This time, the wind is full of buildings, and after the county magistrate in the past few months, he has lost a lot of weight and strengthened a lot. Of course, I also got a lot of tans.
When Sun Hu Wang Ying passed by his house, he had to go to the house to sit down, and then preached it everywhere in the village. Now that he is also in a public uniform, of course he has to glorify his ancestors.
Feng Manlou couldn't help but scold in his heart: "Showman! In fact, I saw the reluctance of the two of them to their hometown. Feng Manlou also suddenly thought of home, and suddenly felt sour in his heart, I don't know how my father and mother are now.
Xiaoyun took advantage of this half-day time, so he naturally hurried in front and went back to report the news, so that the old lady could rest assured. Maybe the old lady is still talking about whether this son will come back and get married!
As soon as he was talking about this, he saw Xiao Yunfeng coming back, and he just said: "Master, madam, the young master is almost here, and there is still half a day away!" ”
