Chapter 32 Immortal

Wang Ju felt a little compassionate and said that Ouyang Xiu had really not seen any means. He just jumped a few times, and even if he had the means, Wang Ju would not reject it.

In fact, it was not only Ouyang Xiu’s fault that he had fallen to this point, but many people were wrong, including Zhao Zhen, the Emperor Ren of Qianqiu. He did not indulge him. What stories did he come from?

The wrong thing is Zhao Shu. If he doesn't go around, Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu will take everyone to govern the country with peace of mind. There may be financial difficulties, but this black hole will not appear.

Heroes are judged by success or failure, so after all, they finally got the advantage of Wang Anshi and Wen Yanbo.

Wang Ju turned his attention to Jiang Zhiqi again.

If Lu Hui and Lu Da were here to guard against Chun Ren and Zhao Xu scolded him like this, what would happen? Ninety percent would say loudly, I am right, I am not convinced, Your Majesty, please let us go.

If Sima Guang was here, maybe he would have fooled him and he would not know the southeast, west and north.

But Jiang Zhiqi couldn't do it. He had a ghost in his heart, but he was not the kind of hard-working person. When Zhao Xu shouted, his face was so scared that he looked like a slut.

Zeng Gongliang couldn't stand it anymore. Although he had always been reserved about the Puyi dispute, he usually had a good relationship with Ouyang Xiu and Han Qi. What is the emperor doing? He is trying to kill a donkey?

So he took the music and looked at it.

Then he asked Wang Ju: "Wang Ju, I asked you, if you didn't say hello and went out of Dujiangyan privately, isn't it a dereliction of duty?"

Wang Ju is not very repulsive to Zeng Gongliang, but Zeng Gongliang, what are you doing? Zhao Xu beat Jiang Zhiqi. Do you want to beat me? Let’s make a balance?

"Mr. Zeng. The Xiaguan was appointed as the presidency of Zheng Baiqu. Is it wrong to go to Dujiangyan to study? If it weren't for the rush of time, the Xiaguan would still want to go to Qiantang River to see the seawall. The Xiaguan didn't understand, and it was related to the construction of the canal. Where did he dereliction of duty?"

"What did you learn?"

"What I learned? In fact, my dynasty has built Zhengbai Canal many times, but it is not allowed to work, or it is not enough, including Shi Jiye who built it during the Taizu period. Although the water dam was built with fences and piles of wood, the water was large during the flood season, and the water dam was often washed away. The people were very upset and the burden was better than what they had gained. Therefore, if this situation in Zhengbai Canal will not happen again, the embankment is the top priority. I don't know other embankments, but I know that the Dujiangyan dam has stood for more than a thousand years and the water flow is also turbulent. So I looked at it and looked at the general's dam after coming back. In fact, the two are the same principle. It is to grind the stone into large square stones, and build the embankment. Use the huge weight of the square stone to press the embankment so that it will not let the water flow wash over."

This principle has nothing to do with any coagulant.

So Emperor Taizong of Song sent Zhou Yue to repair and prepare to restore the stone dam, but Zhou Yue gave up.

Think about how much manual labor is required to mine these huge stones.

I can't play.

So Zeng Gongliang immediately asked again: "How much labor does this method require? Have you calculated it?"

"Mr. Zeng, but why did the official just now say that he wanted to go to Qiantang River to take a look?"

“Why?”

"Your Majesty, come and see, this is a kind of stone dam that Qianjiao managed the Qiantang River at that time."

Wang Ju drew a sketch with a stroke.

That is, the cage method.

First, we rammed the giant trees, used them as the link, then placed large bamboo cages, and then threw various stones and soil into the bamboo cage. Because the bamboo cages were connected, these stones formed a whole to fight the tide together.

"Why have you valued the study of history from ancient times to the present, learn from history, and convey the wisdom of your predecessors, the gains and losses of your predecessors, and how many years have passed since Qian Chu used the stone cage method to cultivate Qiantang River? Did you forget it together?"

If this method is used, the first thing is that the stone is not so particular, and the second thing is that the polishing work is saved, the cost will be reduced by more than half.

Wang Ju continued: "In fact, this is not solid. Including the square stone embankment of Dujiangyan and the general, many places in Dujiangyan have begun to collapse now. So in the most dangerous places, such a stone embankment can be built."

Wang Ju drew another sketch.

This kind of stone dam is the highest crystallization of the wisdom of ancient Chinese stone dams.

Fish scale pond!

It is not necessarily the kind of large stone. Just polish the stone slightly according to various shapes and fit it slightly. However, it is best not to be too small, otherwise it will not be suppressed.

Punch holes in the middle of the stone, use iron ropes or hemp ropes to tie the entire stone embankment together, and after repairing, it looks like fish scales, so it is called a fish scale pond.

Wang Ju said again: "In fact, there are very few places where Zhengbaiqu can truly use this kind of stone embankment. This kind of embankment is not used to build Zhengbaiqu, but to build Qiantang. Where is the worst place in the world? Your Majesty, this new embankment may last forever."

At first glance, Wang Ju refers to the stone embankment built with this new method, which will never collapse again, but how awkward Zeng Gongliang can hear it, or this boy said, will I live forever and be remembered forever by thinking of this new method to build the embankment?

"Jiang Qing, are you satisfied?" Zhao Xu asked.

"I'm wrong." Jiang Zhiqi said with his head down.

Just relying on these two types of dams, I can't say anything.

"But the money is still very wide." Zeng Gongliang said worriedly.

If it is repaired, it does not need to be questioned. There is no need to have 40,000 hectares. If there is 20,000 hectares, you can get 10,000 hectares of new fields by throwing away the original arable land. Everyone will be smiling from ear to ear. Not only that, either the original arable land will not benefit, but in fact, it is 40,000 hectares, and the original arable land will still occupy half. If some strong local areas rely on some arable land, then half will be more than half. But in this half of the land, how many fertile fields are? However, as soon as the new canal is completed, it will become fertile fields!

It can be said that if some small water conservancy is supplemented in other places, the population will increase. In 50 years, Shaanxi will not worry about civilian and military food. Unless it encounters a major drought, it will be helpless.

But if you play like this, how much money will the court get?

The emperor said that the inner treasury is not the country’s money? Do you want me to teach the emperor a lesson?

The prototype of this inner treasury was Zhao Kuangyin pacified Shu and obtained a large amount of wealth. He set up a sealed pile behind the Hall of Martial Arts. What is this money used for? He recovered Yan Yun. Zhao Kuangyin said that using money to buy heads was a joke, but it also showed the intention of this money. If it is not easy to fight with the Khitan, the country must prepare a large amount of finances to fight a fierce battle with the Khitan and a war of attrition.

This inner warehouse, also known as the Left Cangku, was placed in Zhao Kuangyi's hands. He had no additional resources, so he thought of a way to store the inner warehouse, store the inner warehouse, operate the royal industry, manage the local gold and silver supply, and handle the exchange of some silk and non-gold and silver supply. Later, he intervened in minting money, and others, and made profits through this.

Of course, this also depends on management. If the management is not done properly, like the officials in Song Renzong's later years, they might also lose money. Or the royal family's expenses are huge, and they will also lose money.

However, it may disappoint everyone. The two internal warehouses have been operating well, and even when the three departments are in short supply, they can still "lend" to the three departments.

It cannot be said that it is royal. Zhao Kuangyi clearly stipulated that its function is mainly military and disaster relief. However, because it is opaque, many ministers wrote letters to oppose it, including Tian Kuang and others. What is the inner treasury? It is actually the inner palace of the Zhou Dynasty, so we have to know where it is stored. However, Tian Kuang did not understand it. The reason for doing this is that he did not want the ministers to spend some money on the royal family, and the other is to use some to restrain the country and protect the strength of the imperial power.

But in the eyes of most ministers, it is still regarded as the treasury.

And the inner treasury immediately had a crisis. It turned out to be very good. The previous emperors did use the inner treasury to do a lot of practical things, such as relief, military, rewards, pensions, pensions, elderly care, and peace of the people. They took to repair temples and temples...

But a new crisis is about to emerge, that is, the huge royal family. Zhao Kuangyin's brothers three, Zhao Da, Zhao Er and Zhao San.

Emperor Zhenzong of Song was the second generation, with eight brothers. In addition, there was also the Zhao Dayi lineage, and the Zhao Sanyi lineage continued to be passed down.

Zhao Zhen has a baby egg, but he has many cousins, especially Zhao Yunrang, who has not become an emperor. I will compete with you to give birth to a son and gave birth to more than twenty sons in one go, including Zhao Shu. Zhao Shu is the fourth generation and Zhao Xu is the fifth generation. Don’t go to Zhao Yun and his brothers and cousins, let alone Zhao Da and Zhao Er’s lineage. It was Zhao Yunrang’s lineage that brought nearly a hundred cousins ​​to Zhao Xu. Then Zhezong was the sixth generation, and the number of members of the royal family was simply unimaginable.

The inner treasury should not be used for disaster relief or for military use. Self-protection is no longer possible, so the right to manage finances will continue to expand and increase the income of the inner treasury. In fact, the children of the royal family began to become one of the crisis in the Song Dynasty.

Wang Ju doesn't want to talk about this royal family for the time being.

"Mr. Zeng, it seems you have misunderstood. Zheng Baiqu can only be solved after all repairs. If the construction starts quickly this year, thousands of hectares of arable land will be irrigated next year. This is one of them. Secondly, the assassination of the lower official was assassinated. After many people analyzed, the murderer may be related to Xixia."

"Related to Xixia?"

"Your Majesty, I am the culprit of Li Liangzuo's death. Liang's heart hated him, so he sent an order, who can kill me and reward five thousand gold. If she can hold a grudge against me, she can hold a grudge against the Song Dynasty. However, in that war last year, the people of Xixia were also beaten by the soldiers of the three armies, so they would need some time to recover their vitality. When they recover, they might invade our dynasty. And this time they would not take it lightly, so if they were not done well, it would turn into a fierce battle between Qingli. Zeng Gong, think about the Qingli War, how many Zheng Baiqus would have to be built only because of the loss of food?"

Maybe ten Zheng Baiqus have been repaired too.

Of course, the accounts cannot be calculated like this. Just like Wanchunwei, was it repaired with a few thousand guan? Just like Cai Xiang's cross-sea bridge, it repaired with a total of ten thousand guan?

"This is the second, and the third is the Western Xia. Some ministers in the court thought that peace is the most important, and believed that only a few hundred thousand a year could be bought back peace. If so, what's the harm if one million is to take out? But have you seen the annual expenses of the Shaanxi garrison, and have you seen the various military service in Shaanxi, including the foreigners, reaching 400,000. How much is this peace worth in a year? It's not 255,000, but 25.5 million, plus hundreds of thousands of families are displaced and their families cannot be reunited! Therefore, the court will destroy Xixia. However, Xixia cannot be underestimated, but it must be considered for a long time and we must never make mistakes in the Qingli War. Once we take action, food is the key, and Zheng Baiqu is the key."

Han Qi said on the side: "Your Majesty, the old minister thought so when he first discussed Zheng Baiqu. The Western Xia will never be destroyed, and the northwest will be uneasy. What is terrible is that if the Western Xia and the Liao Kingdom are in opposition and attacking the two sides will be at risk. If the Western Xia Dynasty is destroyed, the imperial court will only use tens of thousands of bans of soldiers, plus tens of thousands of Poches and foreign soldiers, so the whole territory can be stable. Not only will the people of Shaanxi rest and rest, but it can also save a lot of military expenditure in a year. If the Western Xia Dynasty is destroyed, our pressure will never be relaxed."

"Han Gong said it well, let it be. Mr. Zeng, don't argue anymore. Wang Ju, come to Erying Pavilion with me."

Erying Pavilion is the back hall where the emperor and the prince learn from it.

The four big bosses looked at each other. It would not be surprising if Zhao Xu summoned Han Qi alone or Zeng Gongliang, but now in front of the four big bosses, he deliberately called Wang Ju to Erying Pavilion. What does this mean?
