The two months of practice have ended, and the boys from Liuyi Academy are about to go to class again.

Looking back at the vast building complex, it was rough and messy, without even a city wall or a moat, but in their eyes, it was far better than Tokyo Bianjing.

"I really can't bear to go back to school!" Su Shi sighed.

Zeng Bu also said: "Yes, what we have learned these days has been more than many years of hard study. By the way, sir, will you practice it in the future?"

When he asked the key point, the guy held his breath and stared at Wang Ning'an.

That enthusiasm can melt people.

If you dare to say that there is no, these kids can resist the world!

"Building a city is the first step. There are tax collection, criminal titles, education, warehousing, commerce... and so on. There are definitely opportunities for practice... However, you must work hard to recite the classics well. Only by passing the assessment can you be qualified to participate in practice."

"Ah! You have to learn those things!"

Su Shi started to wail, "Sir, you are not saying that the saint's subtle words and righteousness are used to correct people's hearts. Look, my heart is very right, so let me do more interesting things - no, it's a meaningful thing!" Su Shi said with a compliment.

Wang Ning'an was unmoved, "If you can make the court change the content of the imperial examination, or let Ling Zun give up the idea of ​​hoping that his son will become successful and just stay in the new city, I don't care."

Two conditions: Even if Su Shi is amazing, he will not be of half a cent usefulness.

I won’t talk about it from the court, but I can’t get through the Su Laoquan alone.

Da Su lowered his head in shame, "Just pretend I didn't say it."

Han Zongwu accepted it happily, "After following the scriptures and following the power, the court rules are like this, and we are unable to change, so we can only adapt. Sir, am I right?"

Wang Ning'an gave a thumbs up, and Han Zongwu was proud.

...

For Su Shi, Han Zongwu and others, it was just a special practice. It was very interesting and worth recalling. That's all, but for the victims of Hebei, it was a bombshell!

The first batch of 30,000 people moved in, and more than 100,000 people entered one after another, just Cangzhou.

Bao Zheng is also a well-known official. He was in charge of Yingzhou Prefecture. In addition to Cangzhou, there were ten counties and one state. Bao Heizi could not play with Wang Ning'an so many tricks, but he was more willing to do better than Wang Ning'an.

He personally led the people to reclaim wasteland and negotiated with the Wang family. The Wang family provided the seeds of sweet sorghum. After autumn, all sorghum poles could only be sold to the Wang family, and 20% of the income was also required to borrow seeds... Faced with the unequal treaty, Bao Zheng had nothing more, but he could actually plant a crop and gain a harvest. No matter what it was, he had to be secretly happy.

With Bao Zheng's efforts, Yingzhou counties have resettled a total of 150,000 victims, plus Cangzhou, the total number has exceeded 300,000, accounting for half of all victims in Hebei.

At the end of July, Bao Zheng reported the disaster relief situation to the court, which immediately caused a thousand waves.

Not talking about others, Zhao Zhen was very happy and issued an order to praise Bao Zheng.

Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor knew very well that the real hero was the Wang family. He decided to give the Wang family a generous gift. This gift was indeed extraordinary. When it was delivered to Cangzhou, everyone ran to the dock and looked forward to it. When they saw the white sails, someone actually cried.

That’s right, what Zhao Zhen gave to the Wang family was a ship!

There are a total of ten sea ships, the smallest one is about 300 tons in later generations, and the largest one is 800 tons.

All these ten ships come from Mizhou, which is where the third uncle Wang Liangjin used to do business.

The location of Mizhou is approximately near Qingdao, and it is the only Maritime Mansion Department in the north. It has prosperous trade and countless merchants from all over the country. However, due to the rampant smuggling and the Liao Kingdom, the Maritime Mansion Department in the Mizhou was sometimes lax and sometimes strict, with great fluctuations.

In recent years, due to the rise of Western Xia, the northwest has been under great pressure, shortage of supplies and soaring prices. In order to prevent the outflow of materials, Mizhou's management has been unprecedentedly strict, making many sea ships useless and can only dock at the dock and endure the wind and sun.

Wang Ning'an took advantage of the opportunity to report to Zhao Zhen every two months to carefully introduce his idea of ​​the new city. He just wanted to get permission.

But Zhao Zhen read it three times in a row and carved all the key things into his mind.

"The hope of the victims is in the new city, and the hope of the new city is in the whaling!" Zhao Zhen wisely understood the key points. He sighed: "I am not good at morality and cannot help the people, but I cannot stand by. Whaling requires ships and bed crossbows. Chen's companion, you can find a way to transfer the ships under the name of the palace to the Wang family, and then give Jia Changchao an order to ask him to take out twenty bed crossbows for the Wang family... Also, didn't the Wang family hope to have a crossbow workshop? I promised them, and I also promised them to add an ordnance workshop. Tell Wang Liangjing to protect the victims well for me and not make any mistakes."

When the ship arrived, Wang Liangjin ran to the boat and looked carefully, and was so happy that he couldn't slap them together.

"Ning'an, at least 80% new. This ship is really strong and big enough." Wang Liangjin pulled Wang Ning'an to the deck and said confidently: "Did you see that there is a bed crossbow in front and back? Such a large ship can be equipped with two long whales at a time. Ning'an, I'm going to preliminarily divide the whale meat and extract whale oil in the cabin..."

Speaking of the last time I went to sea, Wang Liangjin was lucky. They encountered whales before they walked very far, and the big guy was not prepared yet, so they easily brought back two whales.

If you go out to sea frequently in the future, your luck will not be so good. Moreover, whales will learn to be smart. They must go out to sea longer, sail farther, and have greater dangers. The shipyards planned in Xincheng were to prepare for this. Who knew that Zhao Zhen directly sent ten large ships, so that Wang Ning'an's plan was greatly advanced.

After ten days of work, the crossbow was installed, and the third uncle also recruited enough sailors. With everyone's expectations and blessings, they went out to sea again to track the whale school.

...

The same disaster relief is in sharp contrast to the achievements in Cangzhou, Xia Shu is really unreasonable.

In contrast, Xia Xianggong was more concerned about Liuta River. As long as he built the Liuta River, led the Yellow River water back to the old way, restored the natural danger, and protected the capital, he was the hero who saved the Song Dynasty. As for those juniors who wanted to overthrow themselves and replace them, let's have a dream of Spring and Autumn!

I am the one who can calculate it too!

With the rapid advancement of the Liuta River project, Xia Xianggong was full of confidence.

It happened that at this time, Wang Ning'an created a scene of catching whales and saving the people. Ouyang Xiu, Yan Shu, Bao Zheng, and Yu Jing, all of them waved flags and shouted, making a big noise. What is the only thing in the world to save disasters?

Farting, everything is farting!

Isn’t it just hundreds of thousands of elderly, weak, women and children? So what if you don’t save it?

The most urgent task is that the Yellow River is a natural danger that concerns the stability of the Song Dynasty. It cannot even tell the difference between the severity and the importance of the country and the people.

Xia Shu despised these people, but when Zhao Zhen rewarded Bao Zheng and gave him ten large ships to the Wang family, he did not give Xia Shu any comfort, and the holy intention was obvious!

Your Majesty is blaming himself, and it is not good to help the victims!

It is not just Zhao Zhen, the censors and those who are not in harmony with Xia Shu, who take the opportunity to make trouble and attack Xia Xianggong regardless of the lives and death of the people and are numb and indifferent. They should be dismissed immediately and severely punished.

The overwhelming pressure came, and Xia Shu was no longer there.

He brought Zheng Xiang, the most confidant student and subordinate, over, "Oh, I'm just talking about the affairs of the court. What should I do? Can I have the best of both worlds?"

Zheng Xiang grinned and said, "Master, now that Liuta River is coming to an end, more than 200,000 civilians are working day and night. If the food is allocated to the victims, the construction period of Liuta River will be delayed. Once the Yellow River cannot be brought back to the old path within the year, the disciples are worried and there will be more trouble."

All he said was the truth, Xia Shu lamented,

"How can I not know? But from April, the food for disaster relief was cut off. I pointed at fish, shrimp, insects, snakes, leaves, and grass. I could not maintain it. Without food, I would starve to death. I was afraid that I would not see the day when the Liuta River was built, and I would be pulled out to sacrifice flags to relieve public grievances!"

Without comparison, there is no harm.

The better Wang Ning'an and Bao Zheng did, the greater the pressure on Xia Shu. One local prefect and one young man who did not officially become an official can rescue half of the victims.

Xia Shu has been in the officialdom for decades. As a prime minister, he watched the people die and touch his conscience. Isn’t he ashamed?

Before he knew it, Wang Ning'an had already forced Xia Su to the corner.

No matter if the victims are going to be finished, if the victims are going to be controlled or if the Liutahe is delayed, they will be finished! The veteran driver who has been pressed and beaten by a novice for many years, let alone Xia Shu's aggrievance.

Seeing that the master was in a dilemma, Zheng Xiang approached and whispered: "Wang Ning'an and the others are also a fool to build a city and settle the victims. They forgot that according to the Chanyuan Alliance, Cangzhou cannot build cities and fortresses, as long as..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xia Feng suddenly became furious and his voice was stern.

"What do you mean? Could it be that I have let the Wang family's efforts to rescue disasters with the help of the Liao Kingdom?"

Zheng Xiang had never seen his master as scary, and quickly said, "Disciple, I just think that their approach is inappropriate and will cause trouble to the court."

"Hmph!" Xia Xun snorted hard, looked up at the ceiling, and breathed a lot for a long time, "Listen to me, don't even think about some things. If you think about them, you will betray the Song Dynasty and want to hit the sky with thunder!"

Zheng Xiang agreed and bowed repeatedly.

After a while, Xia Feng calmed down. His old eyes turned and suddenly came up with an idea.

"I remember that Jia Ziming went to Zhazi and hoped to sell the land from the original Yellow River road at a price and use money to build the river embankment, right?"

"That's the case." Zheng Xiang said in a difficult situation: "My teacher, we are going to return to the old way, but I'm afraid this method won't work."

"Silly, very stupid!" Xia Shu scolded without hesitation: "The land of the old way cannot be sold. After returning to the river, can the newly rushed river be cultivated?"

Zheng Xiang woke up from his dream and admired him, "My teacher is so wise, but someone may not be willing to pay for these lands."

"Hahahaha..." Xia Shu smiled strangely: "Can you buy Wang Ning'an's whale meat, but not my husband's fields? Let the people below suppress it and force the merchants to pay for the food. The victims will be in chaos if they can't survive, but I haven't heard that the merchants will rebel! Don't be polite, press me to death!"
