"The Ministry of Industry has done better and better over the years." Li Shengxi didn't know the little emperor's plans, she was in the house looking at the letter sent by Li Xun in the south.

The flood was finally resolved, but the dam collapsed, but fortunately the rainy season had passed, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Li Shengxun hurriedly asked the household department to approve the money and went down, and asked Li Xun to repair the embankment over there and not to come back for the time being.

The dam was washed away by floods two years ago, and it was rebuilt at that time, only to collapse again.

"All those involved in the construction of the dam will be imprisoned and interrogated one by one." Li Shengxi waved her hand, she was very curious, how could she build the embankment like this with such a large sum of money.

"In fact, Meng Niangzi has calculated an account, and this time the officials of the Ministry of Industry may not be corrupt." Rong Zhi suddenly spoke.

Li Shengxun looked over, and saw that Rong Zhi was constantly writing and drawing, and never looked up.

"What do you mean?" Li Shengsheng spoke.

"In the past 10 years, the dam in Lingzhou has only collapsed twice, the first time we thought it was in disrepair, this time we thought it was official corruption. However, it is worth noting that in the past ten years, Lingzhou has only experienced these two major floods. Rong Zhi raised his head, put down the pen in his hand, and put his newly drawn drawings in front of Li Shengxi.

This is a new drawing of the levee.

"Maybe it's a problem with the dikes. The Jin Dynasty had a good set of ways to deal with floods, but this experience came from the floods along the Li River, but the Li River was not Lingzhou, and the two dikes may not be connected. Weichen once looked at the dossier of the Lingzhou embankment many years ago, and the newly built embankments of this dynasty have not been preserved for a long time, while those left by the previous dynasty have been preserved for a long time. ”

When the world was divided, the ancestors of the Li family occupied Jiangnan, and the Jiangnan here refers to several places south of the Li River, and since then, they have begun to face the floods of the Li River, but the real unification of the south is still two years away, at that time, the embankment that has existed for many years collapsed.

Taizu ordered the construction at this time, and the officials around Taizu all followed Taizu to work hard, and they were not familiar with Lingzhou affairs, and the embankments they built were all in accordance with the regulations along the Li River.

Such a dam is useful for the Li River, and since Lingzhou has not been flooded for many years, no one is aware of the problem.

"At that time, the people in the Ministry of Industry were slack enough." This kind of thing, painting a scoop with a gourd is the most important, Li Shengxing's face was slightly cold.

Rong Zhi did not comment, but continued: "This is drawn by Wei Chen based on the previous generation of embankments, His Highness can be shown to Lang Guan, who is about to go to the south, if it is feasible, you may wish to modify it slightly." ”

Li Shengxing nodded, and soon summoned the officials of the Ministry of Industry.

Now that the Ministry of Industry has poked the basket, how can they not be afraid in the face of Li Sheng's call?

After listening to what Li Shengxing said, they hurriedly took over the files and drawings in Rong Zhi's hands and read them carefully.

After a long time, the waiter of the Ministry of Works got up a little tremblingly, "Back to Your Highness, what Rong Changshi said may be true, the Lingzhou embankment may really have to be rebuilt and rebuilt." ”

"In that case, why didn't you find out before?"

"It's all a dereliction of duty on the part of the Ministry of Works, and I hope His Highness will calm his anger." He's just a squire who has been promoted in the past two years, where do you know this, this is clearly the pot of the Ministry of Works.

It's a pity that the Ministry of Industry Shangshu was arrested and imprisoned by the lord in front of him, so he can only bear the anger of the lord in front of him.

It's just that it's not good for him to shake the pot or defend at this time, no matter what, King Ning's perception of the Ministry of Industry is no longer good, and she can't let her feel bad about herself.

"The new work plan is perfect, and it may still need Rong Changshi's guidance, I don't know if His Royal Highness is willing to lend Rong Changshi to the household department for two days." Tobe Squiro suggested again.

This Changshi is very trusted by King Ning, and now he is afraid that King Ning will be reprimanded, and he doesn't know if this can dispel King Ning's anger.

Li Shengxun glanced at Rong Zhi, but Rong Zhi shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not good, Xia Guan doesn't have this talent, and he can make suggestions, but he is just a little careful." It's not as good as your many years of experience. Besides, no matter how seamless this drawing is in Linxi, if it can't be implemented in Lingzhou, it's just on paper. It is better for Shilang to go south as soon as possible, after all, time has changed, and I don't know if the embankment of many years ago is still suitable for today. ”

These words can be regarded as helping this squire to exonerate.

Li Shengxian waved his hand, "That's it, you step down, go south to make peace with King Yong, and then officially start, today's things don't happen again." ”

The Ministry of Labor's squire breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Rong Zhi with a little gratitude, and then quickly retreated.

"Why bother? You have been in the Ministry of Industry of the Northern Dynasty, and you are also clear about the affairs of the Ministry of Industry. After the reunification of the country, many construction matters in the hope are also in charge of you, you are highly talented, and you have experience, if you follow them to the south at this time, after the matter is completed, a squire will not be able to run. ”

In this way, Rongzhi can officially enter the court.

Rong Zhi shook his head, "The Great Jin Dynasty has a wide land, and there are many talents, such as talents such as the Ministry of Industry, and there are many people in the world who are better than Wechen, and putting Wechen in the Ministry of Industry is not only blocking the way of others, but also blocking the way of Wechen." "That's not what he's good at.

"Do you want to go to Zhongshu Province?" Li Shengxian smiled.

This is going for the prime minister.

"Isn't this what His Highness promised to Weichen before?" Rongji is also smiling.

In fact, it is Li Shengxi's promise to him, but it is Li Shengxing's expectation for him, Li Shengxing hopes that he will become the prime minister and get along with her monarch and ministers.

"But it doesn't matter." Officials from the three provinces also have six backgrounds.

"Indeed, it's just that the waiter of the Ministry of Works is not a wine bag and a rice bag, and Weichen's mention of this is enough for him to do a good job, not to mention the supervision of King Yong. Whether Weichen goes or not, it doesn't matter much, and His Royal Highness is the place where Weichen should stay. ”

It is enough for Lingzhou to have the Ministry of Industry and King Yong, and if he wants to abandon Li Sheng's attack and go south now, he really can't do it.

Li Shengxi smiled slightly, noncommittal.

However, it is worth mentioning that many of the officials of the Ministry of Industry were also from the imperial examination, and the Confucian classics did not write how to dig ponds and canals and build embankments. In fact, there are many things that craftsmen may know more than officials. ”

However, in today's environment of the Great Jin Dynasty, the status of craftsmen is low, but in fact, their use is indispensable.

Craftsmen were suppressed, and they could do many things better than the literati, but their status was always inferior.

The so-called Shinong industry and commerce, there is a "businessman" behind them, but the businessman at least has money.

If Li Shengxi wants to accumulate political power now, he may be able to start from this aspect.

Finding a way to elevate the status of craftsmen can not only promote the development of the country, but also gain more support for Li Shengxi.
