The summer day is cloudless, and under the raging heat, there are few pedestrians in the alleys in the afternoon, but in those shady corners and tea houses, Bianjing people who are escaping the heat are in groups, talking about the focus news after tea and dinner. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info//, qВ5\

Zhao Lei came from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute and headed towards the imperial city in a carriage.

Today is not the day of the last dynasty, and Zhao Zhen, the official of the Great Song Dynasty, will appear in the imperial city except for the regular dynasty time, and the rest of the time is nested in the small world of the forbidden world, enjoying the treatment that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty should enjoy.

Zhao Lei sat in the carriage with a happy face, with a thick book by his side, and opened the curtain of the carriage from time to time to look out, showing Zhao Lei's anxious state of mind now.

Since Fan Zhongyan implemented the new policy, Zhao Lei has not met with the official Zhao Zhen alone for a long time, and during this time, the people who often went to the official family in the ban, except for Fan Zhongyan, only the officials who supported the new policy were left.

This is not to say that the official Zhao Zhen and Zhao Lei are estranged, but Zhao Lei deliberately stayed away from the power whirlpool of the Bianjing court, in Zhao Lei's view, the new deal is too idealistic, and Fan Zhongyan's means of implementing the new deal are too upright, so the failure of the new deal has become a foregone conclusion at the beginning, so Zhao Lei stayed away from the imperial city, established the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Yuan, hidden in the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Yuan, and laughed at the smoke rising above the Bianjing court.

However, it is difficult for Zhao Lei to hide it now, because the most valuable thing in his plan is revealed.

Zhao Lei is no stranger to cement, Zhao Lei, who used to build roads as an engineer, has a deep love for cement, but there is a big difference between using and making, Zhao Lei knows that cement is made of lime powder as the main fish raw material, and the rest is fundamentally dark-eyed, so Zhao Lei handed over the task of making cement to the skilled craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty. Now, after half a year of testing, the cement that is not very standard, but still has a strong effect, has finally appeared in the Great Song Dynasty.

There are many uses of cement, but what Zhao Lei cares about most is nothing more than the construction of roads, the transportation network of the Great Song Dynasty still relies on the waterway of the Grand Canal built by the Sui Dynasty, and the northern and Chengdu roads of the Great Song Dynasty are not smooth because of the roads. There are often all kinds of problems, now the power of gunpowder is enough to open the mountain, and cement can be used to build roads, once the Great Song Dynasty repairs the cement avenue extending in all directions, the control of the Great Song Dynasty court over the roads will be greatly strengthened, and the transportation capacity will be improved, which will greatly benefit the commercial and military exhibition of the Great Song Dynasty, such an important cement is manufactured, how can Zhao Lei not be ecstatic, so immediately enter Beijing to find the official Zhao Zhen to report the good news.

The Imperial City of Bianjing in the middle of summer is lazy and slack. Where the sun shines brightly, even the patrolling soldiers seem to be much less. In these days, even those ministers of the imperial court are lazy and unwilling to move around, let alone Zhao Zhen, an official who likes to enjoy himself in the forbidden world.

The Imperial City Forbidden is where the official harem is located, and there are as many people as many people who don't know the specifics of the ban, but there are almost 10,000 palace maids and eunuchs in the ban, which is something that all officials know, although after Zhao Lei's reform of the ban, the official Zhao Zhen has been releasing the palace maids and eunuchs of the age over the years, but the number of people who are replenished into the palace every year is still not a small number, so the total number of palace maids and eunuchs in the forbidden place has been maintained at about 7,000 people.

The forbidden area is very large. Although the exact number is not known, when the capital was established, the forbidden middle school was built according to the ratio of Bianjing 11, which is equivalent to one-tenth of Bianjing, which can accommodate at least 100,000 people.

Zhao Lei passed through several gates of the imperial city. Cautiously followed the attendant who led the way in front of him to the forbidden middle school.

Above the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, no one is familiar with the forbidden China, in fact, they dare to be familiar with the officials in the forbidden China. Either he died inexplicably, or he was assigned to the remote corner Gala where he couldn't see people for a few days, and he had nothing to inquire about the residence of the official family or the concubine, no matter what his intentions were, it was an act of looking for death, so Zhao Lei had always been very careful when he came to the forbidden.

The Imperial Garden and the Imperial Study are the two most commonly used places for the official Zhao Zhen to meet his courtiers, and Zhao Lei has been to both places, and they are also the only two forbidden places that Zhao Lei has visited.

Pavilions, small streams, flowers of the Imperial Garden, is one of the most beautiful gardens in the Song Dynasty, the Imperial Garden still water lake, two waterwheels opposite each other slowly turning, with the ground mist from time to time to form a beautiful rainbow.

The official Zhao Zhen was lying comfortably on the bench by the still water lake, a young and beautiful concubine beside him was gently accompanied, and the palace maid behind him was gently beating his hands and feet, and in front of him was a group of beautiful palace maids dancing.

"Official! Zhao Lei is here! After the sharp-eyed chamberlain Gan Ling appeared in Zhao Lei's figure, he immediately leaned over and said respectfully to the official Zhao Zhen.

"Tell him to come over!" Zhao Zhen said lazily lying on the bench.

………………………………

"The official family is really leisurely and comfortable, which makes the ministers envious!" Zhao Lei came to the still water lake, ginseng

After Zhao Zhen, he said enviously.

"If you are envious, why not relax at home! There must be something important when you come to me! The official Zhao Zhen and Zhao Lei didn't see each other, they didn't even get up, they just lay there, and after signaling Zhao Lei to sit down, they said with a smile.

"Official, look at this." When it came to business, Zhao Lei immediately became calm and said to the official Zhao Zhen.

The book that Zhao Lei handed to the official Zhao Zhen recorded in detail the various uses and abilities of cement, and after the official Zhao Zhen read the book, his originally pleasant smile became fanatical, and he immediately sat up and asked Zhao Lei in a deep voice: "The things recorded here are true." ”

"The minister has been tested hundreds of times, and it is completely true!" Zhao Lei replied firmly.

Hearing Zhao Lei's affirmative answer, the official Zhao Zhen waved his hand to let the palace maid and the concubines beside him retreat, but he stood up, and after looking forward to it for a while, he came to his senses and asked Zhao Lei carefully: "How much does this cement cost?" What is the yield? ”

"The price of this kind of cement is very low, its main raw materials are lime and river sand, which are not valuable, and the output is also very high, with the manpower of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute, the output is enough to maintain the construction of roads." Zhao Lei replied clearly to the official Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen heard Zhao Lei's answer, his expression became more eager, but he turned his face and became depressed and said: "However, building roads always requires a lot of manpower and material resources, in the past two years, natural disasters have continued, the imperial court's food reserves are somewhat insufficient, and the people's labor is also used too much, the imperial court has many officials called for recuperation, reduction and reduction of labor, if this time requires additional labor to repair the road, even if you know that it is beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid there will be many officials who oppose it." ”

"The officials are too worried, paving bridges and building roads is a great good act, even if there are officials who oppose it, there will be more officials who agree, and cement road construction is different from general road construction, it is useless to move tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of people, and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute can't produce so much cement! The model is enough, doesn't the Privy Council have tens of thousands of young and strong people in the logistics of the forbidden army! Pick out 10,000 people from it to build roads, and give them rations, and as long as the people are not burdened with labor, those officials will not object. Zhao Lei had already taken measures for this, and said to the official Zhao Zhen confidently.

"Good! Just do what Aiqing said, build a short circuit first, and let the hundred officials see the results of the cement road. Although the official family is arrogant, the prudence in his bones makes him say something else.

Zhao Lei knows the character of the official Zhao Zhen well, Zhao Zhen's character is good to be steady and cautious, and the ugly point is to be cowardly and gentle, so the official Zhao Zhen's answer will not surprise Zhao Lei, and after a moment of silence, Zhao Lei said in a deep voice: "The official family! Summer is the best time to build roads, and ministers can build a cement road from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute to the south gate of Bianjing within ten days, but the cost and labor of road repair are ......."

"You don't have to think about the cost, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute controls the sales of coal, and the income of two or three million taels per month, in the past few months, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute may have tens of millions of taels of silver deposits! I'm embarrassed to ask me for the cost, in the future, the cost of road repair in the Great Song Dynasty will be borne by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute, but the corresponding things for road construction will also be handed over to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute. When the official Zhao Zhen heard the word cost, he looked at Zhao Lei with a smile and said.

Of course, there is no problem, Zhao Lei's purpose in coming to Banzhong this time is not to seize the right to repair roads! Maybe others don't know what right they have to build roads, but Zhao Lei is very clear!

After discussing the details with the official Zhao Zhen, Zhao Lei, who received the holy decree, immediately left the forbidden middle school and went to the Imperial City Privy Council.

………………………………

All the buildings in the imperial city are basically built of hundred-year-old giant trees, coupled with a hundred years of long history, the palace is very cool, if it rains, you can even feel a gust of wind blowing.

Zhao Lei, who was sweating under the scorching sun, walked into the Privy Council, and felt a burst of coolness, and Zhao Lei, who was taking a breath, grabbed an official who was passing by and asked if Song Qi was in the Privy Council.

"Nope! It's working time now, and Lord Song is not in the Privy Council, so he went there. Zhao Lei asked slightly stunned after receiving the official's answer.

The official who was pulled by Zhao Lei looked at the purple official robe on Zhao Lei's body, although he had not seen Zhao Lei, but he also understood Zhao Lei's identity, and immediately replied: "Thousands of students at the gate of the imperial city are connected to the imperial court to oppose Lord Fan's policy of reforming the imperial examination, and Lord Song went to help appease those students." ”

Thousands of students wrote against the New Deal! What a big event! Why didn't anyone go to the book when I reformed the imperial examination, but now it's Fan Zhongyan's turn, and he encountered such an unfortunate thing, Ouyang Xiu's Bianjing Daily actually didn't control the situation, and the new deal is now unpopular! When Zhao Lei heard the official's words, he was shocked and gloated.
