343: Where does the river flow?

Historically, the Great Song Dynasty wanted to divert the Yellow River.

The first time he abolished Hebei Road, the second time was Wang Anshi's death.

As a result, the Yellow River burst its banks several times...... Do you think that's the end of it?

Later, Song Zhezong, someone proposed to change the route, but these great Song monarchs and ministers agreed, completely forgetting the painful lessons of the first two times.

I am afraid that the Liao people are afraid that their houses will be demolished, and they can be regarded as unprecedented and unprecedented.

As a result, the consequence of the three diversions is that Hebei is depressed for thousands of miles, and there is no one to live there...... Even the Dayu Temple built on the high mountain was submerged in that flood.

The water is so powerful that it wails for thousands of miles.

Dayu, who passed through the door of the house three times to control the water back then, probably never thought that his temple would be washed away by his descendants after a few years.

Is there anything more speechless in the world, which can be called the blackest joke in the history of the Great Song Dynasty.

The poor people of Hebei were slammed three times in succession by the great Song monarchs and ministers, and the land was barren and desolate, and there was no life at all on Hebei Road.

When the Jin army went south, Hebei Road, which should have been the first line of defense, became the Happy Valley of the Jin army......

Qin Wei couldn't help but scold: "It's all a group of well-fed!" ”

"That's right! It's all a bunch of brutes! ”

Wang Zhen came, his face was extremely cold, and his beard flew up without wind, with a bit of non-angry and self-righteous momentum.

Qin Wei saluted with a smile, and said with a wry smile: "Prince...... Not afraid of the powerful! But you have to be quiet, lest the mad dogs bite you. ”

Only the upright Wang Zhen dared to scold like this, brute...... Good scolding!

Lao Wang was furious, and immediately wrote a note in Qin's house, the words were so fierce that Qin Wei and Zhao Yunrang were ashamed of themselves.

Song Shu was sent out, and Wang Zhen said again: "I'm afraid the official family won't look at it." ”

"Do your best."

Qin Wei sighed: "The Yellow River can block the enemy in the north, which is also the point they are most happy about. ”

"No way!"

Wang Zhen's spirit went down, and his head full of white hair looked at the vicissitudes of life.

As long as Zhao Zhen agrees to this matter, and most of the Zai Fu agree, it will be a certainty.

As for the dredging of the Henglong River, this is just an excuse.

As long as the dredging of the Henglong River is successful, the opportunity to seek an opportunity to divert the Yellow River can be proposed.

Let's go east to the Yellow River.

Qin Wei remembered a song: The Great River Goes to ......

Qin Wei touched his chin and asked, "Prince, why do you think there are so many people who support it?" ”

Wang Zhen slapped his thigh and said to Qin Wei: "The old man knows that you kid is not a good fart, otherwise, with your temperament, how can you let those officials and imperial history impeach these days without fighting back?" Tell me, you've got a way to do it......"

In front of the elders, Qin Wei naturally knows the rules.

"When there are too many people, there will be chaos...... I'm afraid the prince also knows that more than half of these officials who have played the impeachment of boys are probably for promotion and wealth......"

Where do those people care about which end of the Yellow River goes, they only care about whether they can get up and down.

This is a feast for officials and businessmen!

Wang Zhen said coldly: "Get a few?" ”

After saying that, he breathed a sigh of relief......

He is now a privy envoy, but he is not easy to do.

Qin Wei is the secretary of the bureau, but recently the bureau has long been on the cusp, let him make a move at this time, it can only add fuel to the fire, if some people rise up to attack, Qin Wei will be suspicious of Zhao Zhen if he doesn't get it right, so he will rush home.

The emperor's heart is unpredictable.

Especially a favored minister like Qin Wei, he is more beautiful than anyone else when he is beautiful, but once the emperor doesn't trust you, the fall will be in the blink of an eye.

If it really gets to this point, it will be a bit more than worth the loss.

Just like Zhao Yunrang said, Qin Wei can only look at people with a cold eye now, and after they die, Qin Wei's glorious moment will come.

Wang Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "The old man wants to enter the palace!" ”

This spirit of serving the country and the people is commendable, but Qin Wei knew that the reason why Wang Zhen came forward was just to prevent himself from showing his head, so he decided to take this matter.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to get in now."

Since Zhao Zhen decided to think about it, it means that he is ready to follow the advice of Li Zhongchang's gang.

At this time, any opposition will make him relent.

Wang Zhen raised his head slightly, and said lightly: "Then the old man will deduct the ruffle!" ”

If the emperor does not see his courtiers, and if the courtiers have to meet him, there is only one way...... Buckle the run! is kneeling outside the palace gate and telling the people of the world about this.

You see, the little emperor does not listen to advice!

If he doesn't see the old man, he is just mediocre...... It's just not right from wrong.

If Wang Zhen really did this, Zhao Zhen might be forced to postpone the recourse, but the price was also extremely tragic.

Qin Wei just smiled indifferently: "Don't worry, don't you worry, didn't the boy just say it, there are too many people in this matter, so if you want to deal with these people, it is useless to have too many people." ”

"And what are you going to do?"

Wang Zhen knew his temper very well, so he looked at him with some concern.

Qin Wei said with a smile: "The kid is ready to start from two directions, and the two-pronged ......"

Wang Zhen's eyes lit up and asked, "Those two directions?" ”

"Check!"

Qin Wei seems to have a lot of power in his hands, but these are all based on the emperor's trust, if there is no support from Zhao Zhen, it will be a different matter.

"How do I check it?"

Wang Zhen frowned, there are so many people, how can you check? Even if it is found out, will Your Majesty believe it?

Qin Wei said with a smile: "The diversion project is huge, so we must always prepare materials, funds, and where will the wages for recruiting people come from......

"Good!"

Wang Zhen praised: "This method is good, just slap them directly, let them see who are the people who support the diversion!" ”

Ay!

Qin Wei felt that this stubborn old man's vision was still not broad enough.

Since they are all found to be dirty, we must act decisively and make an example of them!

He sighed, "Second ...... Speak for the facts! ”

"How to use it, what is the fact?"

Qin Wei said confidently: "Those people don't look at this time, but I'm afraid no one knows how to calculate the flow of the Yellow River." ”

"Traffic?"

This is a new word, Wang Zhen has never heard of it, but he roughly understands what he means.

"Yes!"

Qin Wei said proudly: "Don't those people always say that miscellaneous academics are useless? also said that I bewitched students all day long without learning and not knowing how to do it, and some people even said...... I curry favor with Your Majesty behind the backs of my three students...... Hehe! ”

The sneer made Wang Zhen frown.

He knew Qin Wei's style too well......

If people don't offend me, I don't offend anyone.

If anyone sins against me, he will be punished.

Wang Zhen shook his head and said: "Although the old man doesn't know what you want to do, I still have to warn you, don't do too much, you must leave room for a long life......

When the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it loses.

Wang Zhen is teaching him how to behave in the world.

But Qin Wei shook his head and smiled: "The younger generations understand the truth of what the prince said, but now I am in a position that cannot be half tactful." ”

"Good steel is easy to break, but is it still called good steel if it is not easy to break? Your Majesty wants a sword that can sharpen iron like clay...... As for whether this sword will break...... His Majesty only cares if it can be cut. ”

Wang Zhen didn't persuade anymore, but after being silent for a while, he said quietly: "The big river can't change the small river, it will collapse......"

"Juniors understand!"

Qin Wei nodded seriously and shouted, "Qiao Feng, Duan Yu!" ”

"Lang Jun!"

Qin Wei smiled cruelly: "I know that there is a businessman in Bianliang City who specializes in pouring mud, sand, bricks and stones, Daniel Zhang has already figured out his recent movements today, and wants to make a fortune...... Aren't you afraid of having a child without an asshole? Now follow me to control him, Lao Tzu can't break this crooked atmosphere, this official doesn't do it! ”

……

In the palace hall, Zhao Zhen was waiting for the result.

The courtiers below are discussing the bright prospect of dredging the Henglong River.

They knew there was a chance that it would fail, but they still had to do it...... What kind of discussion is clearly that it has been decided, but it is just a matter of studying how to implement it.

"Your Majesty, Wang Zhen asks to see!"

Wang Zhen is still here.

This old man is stubborn and ruthless, but he still has no hesitation when he knows the result.

In his words, he doesn't care how the court tosses him, but the people of the world are innocent...... Someone has to do these things, but you can't let a teenager fight alone.

If he has treated me like an uncle and a father, how can I not protect him?

It doesn't make sense!

Zhang Zhibai said with a smile: "He came just in time, let the third division calculate how much labor is needed to dredge the Henglong River this time, and the Privy Council will be able to raise it at that time." ”

There is something to do with the van army, and the van army runs out before it is the turn of the migrant workers.

After all, the Xiang army originally had a fortune, so there was no need to use it in vain. And migrant workers not only have to give another salary, but also cause dissatisfaction if they are not good.

Zhao Zhen felt that this was exactly the case.

He listened to Qin Wei's suggestion and postponed the diversion of the Yellow River, but Li Zhongchang's words were not unreasonable.

We can't count on God for everything, can we?

Therefore, the dredging of the Henglong River must be done, and he can't wait for nature to dredge it by itself.

God knows when.

What if in the meantime, there are other places that break up? Is it possible to keep waiting?

Is it just that he really only wants to dredge the river?

Only Zhao Zhen knows this in his heart.

The Khitan in the north has always been the thorn of the vertebrae of the Great Song Dynasty, which is the biggest hole card that Li Zhongchang relied on to propose to divert the Liuta River.

Your Majesty, if you don't want to be beaten by the Liao one day, then change your route!

Taking advantage of the fact that the Great Song Dynasty is almost cultivated now, there are no major worries at home and abroad, so if you don't do it, when the Liao people really come, it will be too late......

"Wang Zhen acted solemnly in the Privy Council, and the officials below obeyed him."

Zhao Zhen rarely praised this old stubborn man who even the emperor and the queen mother dared to admonish.

It can be seen that he is in a good mood today.

Zai Fu also smiled slightly, Wang Zhen likes to offend people, so let him go.

“…… Your Majesty, after dredging, you need to arrange manpower along the way to guard it, and if there is a break, report it immediately, and then immediately block it......"

Zhang Zhibai was talking, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw something flying.

Wang Zhen rushed up to the hall quickly, and even the wings on the official hat were shocked.

Zhao Zhen looked stunned on it, and then said with a displeased face: "Wang Qing, what is this doing?" What ...... is so panicked?"

This kind of saying is used by the emperor to teach his courtiers.

But Wang Zhen is an old minister, and he still needs to give more face.

This kind of words that are close to rebuke, Liu E may be able to, but he can't say it.

The Zai Fu stood on the side, and Wang Yaochen persuaded: "There is something to say!" What a ...... this panic does"

Zhang Zhibai was also frightened, after all, he was in his sixties, and he was suddenly startled by someone who was not paying attention, and he had no myocardial infarction, which was already very face-saving for Zhao Zhen.

Otherwise, today's court will be lively.

I don't know if Zhao Zhen will help, can he afford to pay it......

The Zaifu couldn't help but smile when they looked at Fu Bi, who was panting and holding his knees there to catch his breath.

He was a little shocked and said: "There are more than fifty people, how can you be so reckless, this is the Golden Palace, not the yamen of your Privy Council......"

I don't care if you are powerful in your own yamen, but if you are like this in the main hall, the old man can't bear it.

What's more, you almost scared the old man.

Zhang Zhibai is not a grudge, but his face is extremely ugly at the moment.

Waiting for Wang Zhen to breathe and stand still, the Zai Fu all shook their heads and smiled, okay, can we get down to business now?

"Does Your Majesty want to be the king of the dead country?"

Wang Zhen asked as he gasped, his fists clenched and he stepped forward, making Xu Mao take a step forward, ready to act as a shield when he moved.

Zhao Zhen said unhappily: "Why do you say this? ”

The Great Song Dynasty was very good, at least more stable than the previous emperors during their reigns.

Especially in the past few years, the GDP of the Great Song Dynasty has doubled, and there is everyone's credit here, but the credit is ultimately attributed to the emperor.

As the emperor, Zhao Zhen has every reason to be proud.

But Wang Zhen asked: "Why do you want to dredge the Henglong River?" When the river is dredged, does Your Majesty still want to divert it? ”

That's what it is!

Zhang Zhibai stroked the position of his heart, and then said with a wry smile: "Just for this matter, you almost scared the old man away?" As for ......"

Wang Zhen said angrily: "How can it be? The Henglong River is a normal ancient road of the Yellow River, and it is proved that there is no need for dredging at all, as long as it is allowed to develop...... You're waiting for the hot talk about dredging, aren't you just preparing for the diversion? If the Henglong River is dredged, the water flow will be guaranteed in an instant, and even if it is not diverted, it will not work, is this what it means? ”

Belch......

The tacit matter of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs was finally broken by this stubborn old man.

Even Qin Wei, who entered the palace to advise at that time, did not say it so bluntly.

But this old man made it clear......

This is a bit embarrassing!

Everyone is thinking about dredging the Henglong River first, after all, this matter costs a lot of money and food.

As for the diversion, it depends on what the flow of the Henglong River is, if the flow is huge, the diversion is naturally imminent, and there is no money to make up the money.

But if the traffic is not so large, then the diversion will be slowly put on the agenda, to put it bluntly, it is to save a little and we will repair a little.

When it will be fixed, when will it be said.

Anyway, the Liao side will not call in recent years, and when they do, the diversion will almost be completed.

At that time, the moat will cross the north and south, and the Liao people can only look at the river and sigh...... It's so beautiful to think about!

Mom doesn't have to worry about me getting beaten anymore.
