Li Ziqian's book is really good, much better than his two younger brothers, and the professors of Guozixue are all sorry in their hearts, if only he were not the prince of Shu.

Even if it's just a prince, there is a chance to become a prince.

Huang Yi'an, as the crown prince of another dead country, can be described as drunk and dreaming of death in Liangdu, especially after getting the news that Meiniang is in Jiangnan.

He is like this, which inevitably makes people look down on him even more, many people see him openly and secretly ridiculed, and when he is depressed, he comes to find Li Ziqian.

He felt that they were the same, they were both princes of the dead country, and they were all people who were specially guarded.

But when he was invited in, he saw Prince Lu smiling flatteringly around Li Ziqian, and asked people to unfold a painting to him.

And Li Ziqian sat on the side and drank tea with a faint expression, only occasionally lifting his eyelids to look at the painting.

Huang Yi'an: ......

Huang Yi'an turned around and left.

Li Ziqian had already seen him, so he got up to greet him, but when he saw him turn around and leave, he couldn't help but pause and didn't chase him.

Prince Lu also saw Huang Yi'an, and exhaled angrily: "What's wrong with this person, he came to visit, why did he come in and turn around and leave?" ”

Li Ziqian turned around and sat down, and continued to bow his head and drink tea without paying much attention.

Prince Lu smiled flatteringly at him: "But it doesn't matter, this person is more mixed than me before, and he is really not worth intersecting." ”

Li Ziqian couldn't help choking and asked, "Are you implying that I was blind before?" ”

Prince Lu was stunned for a moment and said, "No, I didn't know you when I was messing around." ”

Li Ziqian leaned back in his chair and asked with interest, "Why did you mix up before?" ”

Prince Lu's lips moved, and he didn't speak, Li Ziqian snorted and said, "Didn't you say that the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry want to dredge the Yellow River, why are you so free to come to me?" ”

Speaking of this, Prince Lu sighed, "Yes, but the Ministry of Industry asked for too much silver, and the Ministry of Household sent it back, so didn't I just be idle?" ”

Li Ziqian frowned, "The war has just been settled for a year, and the Ministry of Industry should know that the treasury is empty, so why did it choose to dredge the Yellow River at this time?" ”

Prince Lu didn't hide it from him, in fact, he didn't hide a lot of things in the court, and over the past year, Li Ziqian occasionally gave him some advice.

The dredging of the Yellow River this time is a major event, and he also said defenselessly: "In the early years, the Ministry of Industry was clamoring to dredge the Yellow River, but the money and grain in the treasury should be close to the military department and the household department, so ...... Ahem. ”

Prince Lu suddenly remembered that he shouldn't have said this in front of Li Ziqian.

Why did they cling to the military department in those years?

Aren't you preparing for the fight against Shu?

Li Ziqian glanced at him and didn't care, and asked, "And then?" ”

"A few years ago, the Ministry of Industry wrote a letter, saying that the lower reaches of the Yellow River are very silted, and there will be more rain in the past two years, but I am afraid that there will be floods, so please dredge the Yellow River, and build embankments in some important places," Prince Lu said: "This will cost a lot, so the household department will call back, and they will report again after the New Year." ”

"Do you think they applied for a lot of money?"

Prince Lu thought for a while and said, "For the national treasury, it's a lot, but from the section of the river he wants to dredge, this money may be just right." ”

"But there must be room for further compression," Prince Lu couldn't help but smile and said: "This is the case with any department, no matter what the amount of applications they submit, they have to call back twice anyway, forcing them to compress and then compress before considering the feasibility." ”

Li Ziqian has listened to politics in the court, and naturally knows that this little cat in the household department is tired, but he didn't expect that all the households in the world are the same.

He has always felt that the efficiency of doing this is very low, and he has always wanted to change this rule of the household department, so he said: "Aren't you afraid of delaying time and making mistakes after a dozen or two?" ”

"Of course, time will not be wasted on urgent matters, for example, when the lord of Lin County went to Liao to negotiate peace, the household department directly agreed to the things she asked the household department, and basically made decisions on the same day, without delay." Prince Lu said: "Another example is the grain and grass armament required by the front line, although the household department is suspicious of the application, it often allocates a percent emergency first, and then argues with the military department to discuss the most appropriate amount." ”

To put it bluntly, they don't think there's any rush in the Ministry of Works.

"Moreover, our household department does not apply for more, but I am afraid that the treasury will be emptied in less than a month, and the other six departments are not soft every time they apply for money and food, and the numbers are filled in to the larger ones, our household department is pure, and the other six departments may not follow the kindness."

So we can only be treacherous together, depending on who is higher.

And, if you save this link, you lose a lot of fun.

He likes to watch people leave the household with a loveless face and an application to go down.

Li Ziqian didn't know that he had this habit, and Li Feng, who had been running the household department recently, didn't know either, and he was once again rejected by the household department, and his hair was about to turn gray.

Qin Tianjian said that it has been rainy in the past two years, and the Ministry of Industry also thinks that it will be rainy in the past two years, based on the meteorological records of the past 30 years.

If it hadn't been for the previous war, they would have asked for the dredging of the Yellow River and the construction of dikes and water conservancy projects.

He had only been transferred back to the capital for a short time, and he had been working on local rivers before, and in recent years, there have been waterlogging in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, but they are all very small.

Every year, he would ask the yamen of the prefecture and county under his jurisdiction to organize laborers to clear the dredging, but because of the lack of people and materials, he could only clear a small section, and it was not clean, and most of them were blocked after a year.

It is also for this reason that Li Feng wants to do a big one, this time not only to desilt and control the river, but also to prevent the water and soil on both sides of the river, and try to organize the sediment to slide.

The first time the household department sent back the application of the Ministry of Industry, the adults of the Ministry of Industry were not surprised, and began to work hard to reform, and it was easy to reduce a lot and then hand it in, but the people of the household department only looked at the total amount and called it back.

This time, it was Li Feng who came to deliver the application, and he blew his beard angrily when he saw this.

This time they have saved a lot, and if they continue to save it, they will reduce the project, if the other party has seen the rejection in detail, the anger in his heart is not so big, the key is that they didn't see it.

Li Feng grinded his teeth angrily, turned around in place, and decided to go to Lin You, tomorrow he will hand it again, if the household department still refuses, then he will fold it up in the court the day after tomorrow, and let the court ministers discuss it.

At that time, he will have to pull in some external support.

And Lin You is now in the ministry, and his words also have weight.

Li Feng was recommended by Lin Qingwan to get out of high school, so he is Lin Qingwan's protégé, and he has always had close contact with Lin You.

The two talked for an afternoon, and then Lin You asked people to drive to Prince Lu's mansion, but when they got there, they knew that they were not at home today.

After thinking about it, he went to Li Ziqian.

Lin You and Li Ziqian are not familiar with each other, and there is almost no contact in private, and when he suddenly visited, Li Ziqian was very surprised.

Then he glanced at Prince Lu and understood, thinking of the care that Lin Qingwan had taken care of him, he nodded and said, "Please come in." ”
