"Think about it from the standpoint of his governor, where is his own interest?"

Wu Yan thought for a while and replied: "Of course, I completed the task dutifully during my tenure, and I was able to be promoted smoothly. ”

"The imperial court's management of Cao Yun is realized through Cao Du, so there are strict requirements and various laws and regulations for Cao Du. The power of the Cao Governor comes from the imperial court, and the promotion and promotion are also subject to this, if the Cao Cao is smooth, then it is a win-win situation for the Cao Governor and the imperial court. But on the other hand, the governor and the governor are inseparable from the provincial magistrates, and they are inseparable from the cooperation of local officials, so for local officials, a new governor, his attitude often determines the attitude of local officials, that is, whether to cooperate or not to cooperate. ”

"How do you say that? Could it be that local officials can still influence a feudal official of the third grade? Wu Yan didn't understand.

"You can't be left or right, but you can choose not to cooperate. This is very interesting, the court regarded the Cao Governor as its own and asked him to represent the interests of the court, but the local officials put the Cao Du in their category, hoping that the Cao Du was on their side. ”

"As an assumption, the Cao Governor's attitude towards this can be two kinds: one is to be loyal to his duties, severely punish the abuse of power for personal gain, corruption and corruption, and refuse to be complicit, which can be called 'non-cooperation'; the other is to collude with local officials for personal gain, ignoring the laws of the imperial court, which can be regarded as 'cooperation'."

"Then the magistrate will make his own choice according to the attitude of the governor, which can also be called 'cooperation' and 'non-cooperation', just like a game, always holding black first and then white before coming out. If both sides choose to cooperate, the governor will be able to successfully complete the tasks of water affairs, river work, water control, and military supervision, and the local officials will also be able to get their benefits, and the most satisfactory results will be obtained under this kind of 'cooperation'. ”

"Then in the case of the cooperation of the governor, the local officials can also choose not to cooperate, right?"

"Hehe," Zhu Boxu said with a smile: "When the governor chooses to cooperate, even if the magistrate does not cooperate with him, he will have no loss but benefits, do you think about it?" ”

"Oh......"

"If the governor does not cooperate at the beginning, the magistrate can also choose to cooperate with him, then the governor can also obtain certain political achievements. If the magistrate does not cooperate, it will be a lose-lose situation, and no one will benefit, and it may be possible to lose the official and go to prison. As an official with a great future, I am afraid that I do not want to get such a situation. ”

Wu Yan nodded, thinking, it is true, this is gambling on the future.

"On the other hand, if you can travel smoothly, or even set up a customs to collect taxes, who do you think will be affected first?"

Needless to say?

"Naturally, it is Caoyun, just like between the north and south of Beijing, either the Caohe River or the land route, but the land route is fast."

"Then you should understand which party's interests will be damaged because of this, and the past Caohai dispute is also, in fact, it is not at all who is good and who is bad, everything is only in the court's interest game, among which Cao Du's opinion is the most important, because everyone will stare at him."

"Then what will this Cao Du choose this time?"

"Didn't the Holy One announce that he had entered Beijing? After entering Beijing, you can see which choice he made by looking at his actions. ”

Wu Yan had never heard of this truth before, but she had to agree with it, and of course she was quite surprised, because she suddenly found that this prince was quite level, clear and thoughtful, not like he only knew how to eat, drink and have fun.

"Hey, I can guess his choice, but ...... If it were me, I would definitely choose to support land transportation unconditionally. ”

"Cut~, you are a woman after all, it's still easy to think about the problem, it's just your position," Zhu Boxu couldn't help but shake his head.

"I'm saying this based on facts, what does it have to do with simplicity?" Wu Yan was a little unconvinced.

"Okay, so what are the facts you base on?" Zhu Boxu said disapprovingly.

"Have you not considered the capacity of the Cao River? The Cao River has a maximum annual transportation capacity of 5 million stones, of which 4 million stones are accounted for by Cao grain alone, and the remaining less than 1 million stones are for commercial transportation. If the transportation capacity of Caofu is reduced and the freed up is reserved for commercial transportation, and the transportation increases, then all counties along Caofu will benefit from this, and commerce will not be more prosperous? And the tariffs on banknotes will only be more, not less, isn't that bad? ”

"Hehe, your girl's idea is also peculiar, the problem is that the transportation of grain has been reduced, what should I do if the court is short of grain?"

"This problem has to be looked at twice: first, it is not to reduce the transportation of grain, but to disperse the transportation capacity to land transportation; Secondly, is there really a shortage of food in the imperial court now? Why did you only hear Gu Shangshu say some time ago...... Several rice warehouses in Chaoyangmen have turned out the old rice from ten years ago, and they are all broken. ”

"It's not surprising that this kind of thing happened, which time was it not like this before?"

"Not really! Don't forget the Tianjin Wharf. ”

Zhu Boxu was puzzled, thought for a while and asked, "What's wrong with Tianjin Wharf?" ”

Wu Yan was surprised: "Lord Wang, you don't know as a royal person?" Since the west of the river was moved to the Sancha River, I don't know if it started there, except for the smuggler on the pontoon bridge on the east of the Sancha River, he resold grain. Even my petty official knows about this, so wouldn't Your Majesty know about it? But so far, there has been no movement...... Hey, that doesn't tell the story? That must have been done by my own people. ”

Zhu Boxu blew his face when he heard this, and said, "Hey! Don't talk nonsense...... "How could he not know about this, but can he say it?"

"Also, now the grain in Liaodong has begun to be imported to the capital, although it is very little, but there is always a beginning. Also, the cultivation of corn is being promoted in Gyeonggi, but there is still a shortage of grain? ”

"If there is no shortage, you must also make reserves!"

"Of course! In fact, I just want to show that land transportation and water transportation are not incompatible, but complement each other......"

"Huh...... I think that when the Caohai dispute was in place, some ministers also said the same, complementing each other. Then the annual shipping limit was set at 120,000 stones, but the next year because the best voyage was missed, resulting in the ship's food being damaged, and then the shipping was not mentioned, and only the shipping was changed to cover the ocean to keep a glimmer of life. ”

"After all, land transport is different, because the land route extends more extensively, even if several provinces along the Cao River unite to oppose it this time, it will be difficult to overwhelmingly remove land transport."

"Oh? Are you so sure? Zhu Boxu asked with interest.

"Of course, this is not something I can be sure of, just to say that everything in the world is like playing a game, the person who makes the rules is always the top one, and the people at the bottom either follow the rules or quit the game, no player can act arbitrarily, and want to play but don't want to follow the rules."

"How do you explain it?"

"Because land transport not only involves provinces with water, but also involves provinces without water, since there is no shortage and unevenness, the easiest solution is to change the rules of the game."

"So you think it's Your Majesty who makes the final decision?"

"What do you think, prince?"

——————————————

It was almost dark when it was almost gone......

All the horn lanterns around Guanghe Building have been lit, and outside the Haidilao Gate, the people in line gradually formed a long queue, which is a major landscape in the south of the city.

The air also began to fill the air with an enticing aroma of oil, which was a mixture of spices and unreasonably dominated the sense of smell, so that the brain began to reflex, stimulate the taste buds, and the glands began to work.

Wu Yan had already returned to the palace, first went back to his own residence in Qiandong Wusuo to change his clothes, and then hurried to the Qianqing Palace. But at this point in time, the emperor was still meeting with the ministers in the Dongnuan Pavilion, and Wu Yan was inconvenient to disturb, so after thinking about it, he went to the master of ceremonies near Longzongmen, and ate first.

I knew that I would mix it up in the Liushang Bureau and come again.

Zheng Dajue was in the room, and it seemed that he had just come here to eat, Wu Yan greeted him with a smile, and Zheng Dajue didn't seem to mind her 'unreasonableness', but brought her a few exquisite side dishes with a smile, Wu Yan saw a burst of cheers,

"Fortunately, I didn't eat it first in the Liushang Bureau, otherwise I would have eaten such a delicious food, thank you Da Jue! Oops, hungry......"

Zheng Dajue looked at it with a smile and said, "Eat quickly, it is estimated that Your Majesty has something to do in the evening." In fact, he liked Wu Yan's 'casual' attitude in his heart, and he didn't deliberately please or look down on eunuchs, so he got along more harmoniously.

In addition to the emperor's imperial food in the palace, the food of the celebrant is the best, and it is not even comparable to the queen's palace. Not to mention exquisite, it is also extremely delicious, this kind of cooking skills is admired by Wu Yan, a Michelin-starred chef.

And this Zheng Dajue is a palm seal eunuch, but Wu Yan thinks that he has a good temper and is easy-going, at least more easy-going than Li Dongyan. She had quarreled with Li Dongyan, although she knew that he was still in charge of the Dongchang thing, but she ...... Just once.

There is also a brocade guard envoy Sun Fuhai, Wu Yan thinks he is quite like Erha, of course, this is only said in his heart, but he doesn't dare to say it.

After a stick of incense, Wu Yan ate and wiped it all, and he didn't seem to be full, so he thought that he would forget it, and wait for the evening to make up for supper.

Zheng Dajue asked the fireman to bring the best tea, Wu Yan took a sip, brewed just right, and suddenly felt full of fragrance, and couldn't help but praise: "Good tea." ”

Zheng Dajue disagreed: "It's still a little worse, it's okay to rinse your mouth." ”

Wu Yan remembered that when he negotiated with Cousin Zhao in 'Brother Lu' last year, he drank a pint of Luojie, which was indeed better than this. But it's a bit exaggerated to use it to rinse your mouth, and it's so proud of the celebrant supervisor!

"Do you know who has been here tonight?" Zheng Dajue asked.

Wu Yan didn't know, thought about it and shook his head: "I can't guess, who?" ”

"The prince of the country is a priest of wine, and when we came, we saw that he was still angry, hehe......"

"The old man? Hiss......" Wu Yan knew why when he heard it, and said: "I guess, he must be 'righteous Ling Ran'?" Or is it just a 'big talk'? Or is it 'loud and loud'? ”

"Hehe, you're right! Our family thinks he's 'making a lot of nonsense', which is quite annoying! ”

"Haha......" Wu Yan listened to him learn his tongue and thought it was funny, which was her usual mantra.

"Later, did you leave in a huff?"

"No, it's kind of like that......

"Ahahahaha......" Wu Yan imagined in his heart that Lu Zan was puffing up the sacrificial wine, and couldn't help but laugh wildly.

After laughing, he remembered something and said: "By the way, Da Jue, the racecourse is ready to be built, and you may not be able to claim the shares of that phase later." ”

Zheng Dajue smiled and said: "Our family understands, as long as we have those shares in our hands, we don't ask for more." It is to leave some way back for the younger generations in the family, and get some dividends every year, so that they will not starve to death. ”

Wu Yan said again: "However, the Nanjing Racecourse is ready to expand the second phase, or in the form of shares, and Da Jue can still consider it at that time." ”

"Okay, we'll remember."
