The Great Song Dynasty's river control project was huge, costing nearly 30 million yuan per year. Due to the large number of cheap prisoners of war used in the project, the 30 million guan was mainly spent on materials and chewing. With such a large capital investment, the engineering materials such as the shoots, firewood, pegs, bamboo stones, cocoons, bamboo ropes, etc. are piled up like mountains, stretching for more than ten miles, and people walk among them, such as entering the peaks and mountains.

In addition to the construction of the embankment presided over by the Metropolitan Water Superintendent, a large number of officials from the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of Officials, the Imperial Envoy Table, the cases of Shangshu Province, the Taifu Temple, the Sinong Temple, the shipbuilding affairs, and the transfer departments of various places participated in the river control project, and this huge project involved almost every department of the imperial court.

For example, Taifu Temple is in charge of animal husbandry, and the project needs to use a large number of donkeys and horses, so Taifu Temple will inevitably participate in it. The construction of remote embankments and flood drainage areas will occupy a large amount of cultivated land, and the chewing of hundreds of thousands of people is also easy to cause grain price fluctuations.

Since ancient times, all construction projects are the most likely to breed corruption, bribery, fraud, and cutting corners. The project was so huge and involved so many departments and officials that although the imperial court set up a three-body supervision system of the imperial envoy, the capital water superintendent, and the local river patrol department to inspect and investigate illegal acts in the river control project, it was still impossible to completely eradicate malpractice.

However, it is impossible to make things impossible, and at least the conduct of malpractice for personal gain must be limited to a relatively small scope.

Especially in terms of the quality of the work. To put it bluntly, some people embezzle the imperial court at most because of the cost, but if there is a problem with the quality of the project, which leads to a flood in the future, it is not just a matter of money.

Zhao Ruo got Yang Yi's instruction and led a group of street tigers in Beijing to kill the river embankment.

When the officials on the embankment heard that the imperial court had sent a huge monitoring team, they were quite scared at first, but when they saw Zhao Ruo's group, their eyes couldn't help but fall to the ground!

Zhao Ruo and the others waved the five-color flag, all of them were freshly dressed and angry, their long robes were fluttering, they were shaking gold-painted folding fans in their hands, they were holding mighty goshawks on their shoulders, and they were followed by yellow dogs wagging their tails and begging for mercy on the ground.

The servants around him trotted and followed, holding umbrellas high, for fear that these sons would be exposed to the sun a little.

It was followed by twenty or thirty carts, which were full of gorgeous clothes, wine from Yi'anju, glasses from the South China Sea, wax sparrows from Fengle Building, refined fishing rods from Tan Erjia, limited edition leather balls from Hongyunfang, chicken coops from Xianping, and cricket cans from Dingyao, all of which were boutiques.

None of the above is a big deal, and people don't have the heart to look at it closely, because there are more eye-catching ones around them; I saw a group of warblers and swallows delicately bunching their willow waists, lightly wiping their eyebrows, watery skin and clouds, and extremely beautiful. The cherry mouths spit out tactful clear voices, uninhibited laughter, and beat horses in the inner offices of various sons, flirting and scolding, and there are thousands of charms.

Some officials from the capital even identified one of them as the top purple girl in Baoyue Tower...... This is the powerful monitoring group sent by the imperial court?

Yes, the momentum is huge.

But is this to monitor lawlessness and punish corrupt officials?

This is clearly a green tour group!

Zhao Xiaowang walked in front of the team majestically, like a general who returned triumphantly and waited for the emperor to review, full of red light, high-spirited, the purple girl beside her was picturesque, and the autumn waves were frequent, she was really a hero and beauty, reflecting each other.

As soon as they arrived at the station by the river embankment, the princes were still flirting with the beauties, but the accompanying servants were already like a pack of vicious dogs, pounced on the various temporary government offices and yelled.

"Make room for us! Hurry up! ”

"I want the best, if I neglect my family, I want you to look good!"

"You're okay with this yamen, just vacate here!"

"Hurry!"

"What are you doing in a daze? Don't hurry up and do it, look for a fight! ”

…… As the saying goes, Hades is easy to see, but imps are difficult. Servants like Zhao Da and Zhao Er, who are usually rampant in the capital, come to this ghost place, and don't all have eyes on the top of their heads?

No matter how big an official you are, no matter how big you are, you can't be as big as my father in the yamen! Otherwise, it's your family's office, not mine!

The officials on the embankment also know that these people can't be provoked, not to mention the father behind the people, they have the power of supervision, you are not thoughtful, these people have nothing to do when they are full, they stick to you like a dog skin plaster every day, and pick the head of the egg in your egg, which is enough for you to drink a pot.

Without further ado, let's make room!

That's fine, if the imperial court really sends a large group of vicious officials to supervise, then it will be troublesome, this class of officials looks like that, don't think that they are here to mess around and gild their political achievements. Isn't that easy to deal with? Maybe if you catch them, you can rise higher in the future!

Those upright officials on the embankment frowned, but they wouldn't be stupid enough to go directly to these sons and brothers to theorize, look at this look, will he reason with you? I didn't miss the business in vain, so I can't give the court an impeachment note in the evening!

In addition to being stationed, Zhao Ruo's sons and sons didn't let the officials on the embankment Zhang Luo do anything else, didn't their conscience find out, don't you look at where people come from, can you look down on your coarse tea and light rice?

The ingredients and supplies are all transported from Beijing, many of which you have never seen, and even the chef invited the chef of the Sun family's main store.

As expected, since this group of sons and brothers arrived on the embankment, they have been eating and having fun in the camp all day long, fighting cocks and dogs, gambling money and women...... If you do everything, you just don't do the right thing.

Of course, if you lose gambling in the camp and get tired of playing, they will also wander around, snap their fingers, look at you with their heads cocked, and don't speak, depending on whether you know each other or not!

It's good to know each other.

If you don't know each other, okay, you wait, you look good!

If you get the money, you will retract back to the camp to continue gambling, and the camp will continue to sing every day, the wine and meat will be fragrant, the warblers will sing and swallow words, and the chickens and dogs will jump...... Those upright officials were sent to Tokyo three times a day, hoping that the imperial court would quickly get rid of these disasters, but Tokyo only sent people to reprimand them.

Then patiently comfort the officials who went to the table for impeachment: "Alas! Master Zhang, let's make this impeachment less sloppy, just let them play here for a few days, and the capital will only stop for a few days, and it is not easy for Zhang Xianggong, you have to be more considerate. ”

"But Master Li, these people are not doing business here......"

"Master Zhang, you don't have to say it, think about it, if they do the right thing, Zhang Xianggong and they still need to send people here? Lao Zhang, it's not me saying you, you have to learn to understand the difficulties of Shangguan, you are just annoying for a while, what about the princes of the court, it is annoying every day, every year, think about it, who is difficult to do? ”

Speechless...... There is nothing to visit on the embankment, and in this May weather, the sun is dying, and nearly 200 "supervision" officials are reluctant to even go out of the camp gate, of course, the main reason is that after a long time, some officials have slowly climbed up to pay respects, so there is no need for them to go out to pit Mengka again.

Officials who are more active-minded know that these sons and brothers don't look down on them, but with them covering, everything is worry-free, and more importantly, through them, after getting in touch with those bigwigs in the DPRK and China, the official position will not be as high as bamboo shoots by the dung pit in the future!

On this day, in the smoky barracks, Zhao Ruo drank half a pot of wine and smashed the wine jug outside the door.

"Ouch, little prince, what's wrong with this? It's all smashed into my ass! He Dayane, who was squatting in the crowd and throwing dice, immediately shouted, he was the second son of He Shikuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and his status was not much lower than Zhao Ruo.

Zhao Ruo said with a proud face: "Okay, okay, put things away, I think it's time to close the net." ”

Cai Bian's son, Cai Dayane, pushed away the beauty in his arms, sat up straight and said, "Little prince, if you don't wait any longer, maybe there will be a big fish on the bait." ”

"Yes, yes, there may be, but if you wait any longer, I'm afraid that the gains outweigh the losses."

He Daya echoed: "I agree with the little prince's opinion, we have enough evidence in our hands, and if it drags on, I'm afraid that there will be problems with the project." ”

"Well, my eldest brother said, if the water is clear, there are no fish, if they are all killed, I am afraid that no one will do anything, this proportion must be mastered, we pull out this stubble of weeds, it will definitely have a great deterrent effect, and those fish that have slipped through the net will also know to converge, in the future, we will not care about anything else, guard the embankment, and tighten the quality."

A group of Yanei suddenly shouted: "Okay, what the little prince says, let's do it, little prince, what do you say?" ”

Zhao Ruo stood on a stool, like a general inspecting the army, waved his sleeves and shouted: "Everyone, my eldest brother said it well, others see us as mud and can't get on the wall, we can't look at ourselves like this, we work hard, we have a great merit, and we can stand up in Beijing in the future, the ministers of the DPRK and China are all sending us as trouble, but my eldest brother has high hopes for us, I believe that we will be able to make some impressive results, so I recommend us to do such an important thing." The river control project is related to thousands of generations, we have maintained the quality of the project, that is, to maintain the peace of the Great Song Dynasty for thousands of generations, we do not seek to be as famous as my eldest brother, but at least we can't let others say that we are soft worms and shit. ”

After Zhao Ruo finished shouting, a large group of sons and brothers suddenly brightened, Yang Yi can now be said to be the idol of the young people of the Song Dynasty, and now everyone finally has the opportunity to compare with him, but they have to fight.

Wang Xi, the fourth son of the palace marshal Wang Wenzhen, then shouted excitedly: "Yang University scholar Xiping Dangxiang, retreat to the Khitan in the north, Wenneng Anbang, Wu Neng Dingguo, he believes in us so much, let us do such an important thing, and the hopes are so high, we can't live up to Yang University's expectations, do it!" ”

"It's done!"

"It's done!"

…… The two hundred sons and brothers blushed and shouted one by one, just like the Juyi Hall of a certain cottage.

Zhao Ruo waved his right hand again and again to calm everyone down, and then continued: "You must do it, but you can't do it brutally, according to what my eldest brother said, you have to talk about some technical content." Now that we have all listened, we are divided into ten groups, and I will take the first group and be responsible for the investigation and deployment of officials. The second group is led by Cai Wen and is responsible for investigating and handling household deployment officials. The third group, led by He Yan, was responsible for investigating and prosecuting the officials of Taifu Temple. The fourth group is led by Wang Xi and is responsible for ......"

After dividing the group, Zhao Ruo said again: "Now let's act separately, according to the map, bring all the officials involved here here, immediately interrogate them separately, and strive to sort out the case as soon as possible, so as not to have a major impact on the river control project." ”

"Order!"

"Order!"

….

Nearly 200 sons and sons found their leader, and then they all fought out of the barracks, and the momentum was ......
