Chapter 235 Childishness
"Your Majesty, how much money will Zheng Baiqu use in autumn?"
"It may be a little less, but I probably have to prepare 500,000 yuan. You can write a document to let Wang Ju and Yang Pan budget."
"I'm trying to squeeze."
"By the way, Han Qing, if the treasury was empty, financially difficult, and encountering major disasters in the past, there would inevitably be many verbal officials who wrote letters to impeach the prime minister. Why can't I see an impeachment document?"
"Who dares to impeach the powerful ministers in power?"
"Is it better than Ding Wei?"
"Not less than Ding Wei, but the court lacks Wang Zeng and Lu Zongdao."
To a certain extent, Han Qi was indeed aggravating the disaster of the Song Dynasty. The Xining party struggles, and everyone only saw the two protagonists, but ignored the negative effects of Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu. Without this trap, what is the result?
If Han Qi goes on in time, then the experienced Zhang Fangping will definitely make up for the vacancy, so he can start some adjustments. At least the economic distress will be further improved, and Zhao Xu will not be so anxious in the future.
Later, it went down. Whether it was the national treasury or the internal treasury, it was empty, and then a lot of bad debts were left behind. Everyone was anxious, especially in the pseudo-business era of the Song Dynasty, everything they had to be paid for.
"By the way, I heard that Han Qi sent someone down to see the river engineer. What will happen after seeing?"
"I am in the Sansi and I rarely interact with Han Qi, so I don't know much about it. It is said that it is feasible. But there are probably two difficulties. One is that the river water goes north and the old road is silted. Both sides of the river have become one-class and one-level fertile land, all of which are occupied by the people. It is probably difficult to guide the Yellow River into the old road again. Secondly, there is no such money now, and even the strategy of silting the field cannot be implemented."
"I heard that this move was initiated by a minister named Cheng Shimeng?"
"Yes. I have also deliberately inquired about this person, but I was shocked."
"Speak and listen."
"In fact, his move to silt fields was not in Hedong. But in Kuixia. There were many lands in the area that were connected to valleys. Whenever heavy rains, the water was strong and turbid, and it was called Tianhe by the people. Cheng Meng took advantage of the situation and built dams and opened canals, irrigating more than 18,000 acres of fertile fields. So he wrote a book "Water Conservancy Picture Classic" based on his experience. Later, he arrived in Hongzhou. There were also frequent floods in Hongzhou. Cheng Meng made a dike, opened a canal, opened a steep gate, and set up a steep gate to adjust the lifting and lowering of water, which was quite similar to Wang Ju's water dam lifting water. By the way, has Wang Ju read that book "Water Conservancy Picture Classic"?"
"How can I know?" Zhao Xu was silent, but Wang Ju mentioned Cheng Shimeng and might have read it, so he said, "You go find that book and let me read it."
"Here."
"You can talk further."
"Then the flood in Hongzhou was eliminated. In the first year of Zhiping, he went to Beijing to serve as the Ministry of Mo Investigation of the Three Divisions. He seemed to be doing well in managing the affairs of the Four Quotations in Hebei. He sent envoys to ask about fishing in Baigou, which made Cheng Shimeng speechless. In the third year of Zhiping, he served as the transfer envoy of Jiangxi. He was the silt field in Hedong when he returned from Kuixia Road and transferred to Hedong."
"Why doesn't the court value such a person?"
"Your Majesty wants to use it, don't be anxious."
Zhao Xu was depressed again.
But he was going to recommend Wang Anshi. Will Wang Anshi use people? Xue Xiang and Wang Shao and Wang Anshi cannot use them well, so let alone Cheng Shimeng. Even if Cheng Shimeng disregards his reputation and flatters Wang Anshi, he also did not use Cheng Shimeng well, but he used several kids.
So a few months later, Wang Ju was curious when he heard that Cheng Shi Meng entered Beijing. Yes, this was a first-class official. In order to relieve his anger, he set up a temple for him. Old Cheng knew it, but he was so happy. Cheng Shi Meng Ti didn't mention it. Wherever he passed, the people of Hongzhou, Fuzhou, Guangzhou and Yuezhou spontaneously built temples for him. Even Wang Dan's son Wang Su couldn't do this. But Wang Anshi... Wang Anshi! This is a person with a worse personality than Han Qi.
"In this way, if the country is tense and abundant, and there are financial and river workers in the future, wouldn't it be that there will be two ministers?"
"Yes, no matter whether Cheng Shi Meng or Wang Ju, you can manage river engineering. Wang Jusheng is in his wonderful thoughts, and Cheng Shi Mengsheng is in his resume and experience."
"I am also in this evaluation. I would like to ask you again, how do you plan to deal with the disaster relief measures in Hebei?"
"The ministers are discussing and talking, but they can't come up with a good idea."
"Then you go." Zhao Xu said in annoyance.
"Here."
"Wait, you'd better go down. Su Lishe, pass on a verbal edict for me and order the prime minister to ask for rain."
Perhaps ordinary people and future generations will not pay much attention to this oral edict.
But this verbal edict is even more powerful than swearing.
In the past, when there was a disaster, it was not that the prime minister asked for the rain and Yang, but that the emperor took the lead in asking for it. Now the emperor did not invite it, but asked the prime minister to ask for it. What does it mean? This is why there is a disaster in heaven? It is the disaster for you prime ministers.
Han Jiang smiled bitterly, isn’t this childish?
But Han Jiang underestimated this childishness. It was this childishness, coupled with Zeng Gongliang's water-melting skills, Han Qi finally became timid.
Now a key question is, can Zhao Xu take power?
A very strange question, has Zhao Xu not taken power now? He has taken power, but it is the same as not taking power. However, the eldest and young empress dowagers in the palace are no longer behind the curtains, so why can you still stick to your power without leaving anyway?
However, once the problem arose, Zhao Xu had the power to veto him, and Han Qi had to do so even if he couldn't.
Now Zhao Xu is not so anxious to force Han Qi, but Han Qi is getting more and more anxious day by day. The relationship between the key is getting worse, and it is unlikely to make up for it now.
But Zhao Xu also missed a great opportunity. During this period, he was studying while observing the national affairs. However, he was sad. The imperial teacher was Sima Guang. What could he learn? Is it better to talk about Wang Rong's learning that ruined the country with one kind and two wisdoms? Or Sima Guang simply taught Zhao Xu the power strategy, but he would not teach Sima Guang even if he killed Sima Guang. In fact, the power strategy was the best for Sima Guang. Others are easy to wash and sleep, not as good as Ouyang Xiu.
Therefore, in this stalemate atmosphere, some people also used some cold treatment methods to express their protest.
For example, Wang Gui and Fan Zhen recommended Zhang Tangying to the capital to serve as the censor. Why? Therefore, when Zhao Shu ascended the throne, Zhang Tangying used Zhao Shu to prevent the troubles and become a son. He was afraid that there would be stories about Dingtao to confuse the saints and listeners on the other day.
This story of Dingtao has nothing to do with Dingtao, but Emperor Ai of Han and Emperor Cheng of Han had no son, so he made Liu Xin, the son of Dingtao King Liu Kang, the crown prince. As soon as Emperor Ai of Han succeeded to the throne, he established his biological father as Emperor Gong. The Western Han Dynasty officially fell from him and his power was transferred to foreign relatives. He died of alcohol and sex for only seven years after he was in power.
Sure enough, the Puyi dispute began later, and Zhao Shu died without even four years of reign.
When Zhao Xu became interested, Han Qi knew that this was coming to him, but the emperor did not even have the right to appoint a censor, so the conflict would be serious, and even the two sides could only defeat the situation to the death, so they had to bear the anger and agree.
Zhang Shangying's arrival brought another person, Zhao Yan.
Afterwards, Zhao Xu heard about Zhao Yan's reputation from Zhang Shangying and was transferred from Chengdu to the capital to serve as the Zhijianyuan.
Zhao Yan wrote a letter to the assistant. He gave him a letter to the assistant. He was not allowed to be extravagant, he was instructed, and he was careful to be secret, he was prepared for unexpected things. He did not count the amnesty, and he was willing to advise and argue. He also said that the palace, royal family, officials were abusive, redundant soldiers, and five fees for civil engineering. Zhao Xu smiled bitterly, and he was a redundant soldier, and redundant officials! What Zhao Yan said was used by other troops, saying yes, but now Zhao Xu has the right to execute it?
Then Zhao Yan said that Lu Hui, Fu Yaoyu, Fan Chunren, Lu Dafang, Zhao Ding and Ma Mo were all stubborn and dared to speak out, but they could not be reconciled for a long time, and they could not comfort the hope of the gentleman.
Can Han Qi have a way out when these six big mouths return to Beijing?
Zhao Xu just smiled and used Zhang Shangying, but Han Qi couldn't speak, so he transferred these six people back. Han Qi didn't know how to destroy him.
But he praised: "The six people I have selected are indeed Gengchen in my great dynasty."
Han Qi's face turned blue when he heard it. However, what could he say? Did someone say bad things about Han Qi? Let's see, the first thing in ten things is to ask Fu Bi. Maybe this kid can't figure it out. Now that Zhao Xu is like this, how can he ask Fu Bi? Therefore, Han Qi can't do anything.
Continue to fight, but it is not as intense as spring. Some are childish, while others are "silent"...

"This book of Water Conservancy Sutra is well written, and even I feel very eye-opened when I read it."
"What Wang Ju said in the Political Affairs Hall is not bad," Su Lishe said.
"But I am not very useful to these two people for the time being. Otherwise, the two of them will work together to write a water conservancy book, which will benefit all the officials in the world." Zhao Xu said. Su Lishe has not noticed the specific difference, but this difference is not difficult for Zhao Xu. The Water Conservancy Chart Sutra is explained more carefully, but what Wang Ju said in the Political Affairs Hall that day was an outline. If he benefits, what Wang Ju said would be more important.
But if there are no these details to guide, once people blindly use blindly and a few officials can truly understand water conservancy, it will often become a harm to Liutahe.
So he said that it was necessary for the two to cooperate before they could promote it to officials all over the world.
"The official is wise."
"I called you here, not for this book, but..."
"I understand that at the right time, the money and money have arrived in Hangzhou, and the customer of Wang Ju family has probably been arranged."
"Remember, don't think that the guest is just a disciple and you want to despise him. This person has been surveyed in disguise for two years after Wang Ju's back, and Wang Ju attaches more importance to it."
"I understand."
"You go to Fuzhou first, I have also deliberately inquired about it. Fuzhou magistrate is Zhang Min. I will ask you to bring a handwritten edict. It is best to implicitly tell the relationship between Wang Ju and Zhang Feng. Guangzhou magistrate is Lu Jujian. I will give you a handwritten edict. In addition, I deliberately call Lu Gongbi and asked him to write a letter. With all public and private affairs, these two will cooperate with you. Oh, what's the matter? Am I still the emperor?"
"Officials, don't worry, some people won't last long."
"I'm just looking away, let's see if he realizes that day. But in this industry, you can't let my trust down."
"I will definitely not."
"I know you are loyal and kind. Wang Ju deliberately mentioned the candidates for eunuchs in the book. This trip cannot be praised, nor disturbed the people. Third, you must have talent and cannot break my plan. I have thought about it and finally chose you."
"The official trusts it will be unforgettable for the servants."
"I know that this is a bit wronged by you in this industry, and it is not even convenient to give you a special official. But after it is effective, I will definitely give you a great special official. In addition, if you have the opportunity, go back to your hometown to take a look and sacrifice to your ancestors. If there are people in the clan, choose a clever and capable person to be your legitimate son and pass on your family line. If there are so many redundant officials in the world, there will not be more than one more, and I will give him one and half of the position."
"Where is the official family?" Su Lishe hugged Zhao Xu's leg and cried with emotion.
"It's a pity that scholars in the world are not as good as half-people." Zhao Xu was also moved and sighed, but he was not understanding. Where did these scholars and officials read the saints? To be continued...
