This line is divided into two parts. The first part is the original rivers and canals, which connects Taihu Lake and Dianshan Lake. Because the original river channels are not Taihu Lake, but its appearance can effectively adjust the water level of the entire Taihu Lake Basin. The Grand Canal is between Taihu Lake and Dianshan Lake, which means that this canal is also connected to the Grand Canal. There is another meaning, that is, the second part.

The second part starts with Dianshan Lake. Dianshan Lake is not a whole at the moment, but it is almost a whole, so it is not difficult to communicate. Then turn to the southeast and then to the northeast.

Yes, Huangpu River, it is Huangpu River.

When it comes to Huangpu River, later generations have two more ideas: one is that it divides Shanghai into two halves, Pudong and Puxi, and the other is the significance of transportation.

In fact, its true meaning is that it is the most important water conservancy hub in Shanghai!

With this canal, the floods in the central and southern parts of Shanghai can be discharged into the Yangtze River in time.

When it comes to Shanghai, we can mention Huang Daopo. It was Huang Daopo's cotton spinning technology that allowed Songjiang cotton to be promoted. By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Songjiang was richest in the world because of the cotton industry. But people often ignore a little about Huangpu River!

The Huangpu River was excavated during the Yongle period and Hairui was further dredged and repaired, and then it was taken. However, the sea was forbidden in the Ming Dynasty at that time, so the significance of sea transportation was not great. However, with this canal, the entire Shanghai area was fully developed, creating the development of cotton, agriculture, fishery and commerce, which made it "richest in the world".

Cai Que's idea is very good. With this canal, the entire Huating County will be developed and utilized, and the water conservancy of Taihu Lake is regulated. At the same time, with the help of this canal, a good port can be built as a new Maritime Bureau. One can communicate with the Grand Canal, the other can also be a natural safe haven, and the other can bypass the suffering of Qiantang River tide. Its appearance will have far-reaching impacts on Southeast commerce and agriculture.

However, the interest is too great.

Just like in the third year of Xining, Jiadan wrote a letter to Wuzhong water conservancy. The water conservancy in the world is as beautiful as paddy fields, and paddy fields are as beautiful as Suzhou. However, because the powerful invaded randomly, the circumference of the lakes were fields, and the flood water was not discharged. Therefore, it was often flooded and disasters were not allowed to be used well. Therefore, the low-lying area was transformed, five miles and seven miles into a vertical supra, and seven miles into a horizontal supra, making the pond supra deep and broad and the embankment was high and thick. Therefore, the water of the rivers and seas could not flow backwards to the people's fields, and the flood water would not cause waterlogging. The court agreed, but because of the obstruction of the powerful, it left Suzhou sadly after only one and a half years of implementation.

If it remains unchanged, there will be some troubles in the future. From the late Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, the court has been intending to rectify the chaos in the Taihu River Basin, but it has never been implemented well.

There are too many wealthy and powerful people in this area. Not to mention other areas, just Huating County’s wine service, it brings nearly 70,000 yuan in profits to the court in a year. Although Huating County is the largest in the southeast, it is not the best area.

Looking at the origins of both of them, they are both Juren, but Juren of the Song Dynasty are also worthless. Although Duan Tianshui has made contributions to help Cheng Fang, he is now at home and is only a civilian status.

Zhang Jian was a little better. It turned out that he did a good job in the Mizhou Maritime Warehouse Department. The court established a banking department and a banking department. Therefore, he entered the Mizhou business and served as an important aide. Because of his merits, he was appreciated by Zhang Shangying and transferred to the Beijing Banking Department. However, he was still an aide, and in fact he was a slightly important clerk!

With their little arms and legs, they cannot preside over such a big project.

"This section of Suzhou has nothing to do with you. Someone has transferred Yang Qiangu, the Minister of Revenue, to Yang Ji, the Transportation Commissioner of Liangzhe Road, to govern Bian, and Chen Pi, to be the brother of the governor of Suzhou Shen Kuo. He has presided over the Wanchunwei and Liumenyan projects. Jia Zhengfu, Jia, was transferred from the Jiangdong Transportation Bureau to the governor of Xiuzhou. As for you, Zhang Jian, I want to consider you as the magistrate of Huating and Duan Tianshui as the magistrate of Huating."

These three are all people with backgrounds, that is, the sky has collapsed, and there are people above you who are fighting for you, and these three are all good at water conservancy.

But the most important thing is where the official is.

It is not just a matter of duty, but a real magistrate and a magistrate. The magistrate and a magistrate of a magistrate in the Song Dynasty divided the counties into Chixian, Jixian, Wangxian, Xinxian, Shangxian, Zhongxian, Zhongxiaxian and Xiaxian eighth grade. However, Chixian and Jixian mostly refer to counties around the capital, and the remaining Xiazhou Prefectures only have the sixth grade, and Xinxian is the second grade.

Zhang Jian said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Cai, our dynasty is full of talents. Why did you ask your subordinates and Brother Duan to go to Huating to preside over such a huge water conservancy?"

The matter was caused by the Cang Dynasty.

Jia Jian was from Taicang, Suzhou, so he knew the local situation well. He wrote four volumes of Wumen Water Conservancy Books, which happened to be the Xining reform and Daxing water conservancy. So in the third year of Xining, he wrote a letter to Suzhou Water Conservancy Six Losses and Six Gains and Seven Pros and Conservancy Profits and Seven Things in Land Management. In the fifth year of Xining, he was appointed as the judge of the Sinong Temple in Liangzhe Water Conservancy, but he also surrounded the lakes and rivers, angering the local tyrants. In addition, the old ministers fanned the flames, and only a year has passed, and he has been dismissed from office and returned home.

But he was not convinced, so he practiced his water conservancy theory in his hometown Taicang, and achieved a great harvest that year. A few years later, the court hired him again, except for him as the judge of Jiangdong Transportation.

Last year, he heard the news of waterlogging in his hometown, and the court's atmosphere was changing, so he wrote a letter to Cai Que again, hoping that the court would send people to renovate the water conservancy in the Taihu Lake Basin, otherwise Taihu Lake would not be the beauty of Suzhou in the future, but the suffering of Suzhou.

Before Wang Ju left the capital, he talked with Cai Que for a long time. The two of them discussed a lot of things, and Cai Que then talked about Zheng Tan's letter. Wang Ju vetoed it without thinking.

The reason is very simple. Although the strategy of governing the Taihu Lake Basin is not only to be surrounded by lakes and rivers, the theme is to be surrounded by lakes, so as to increase the water storage and drainage functions, and the flood will be discharged and drought will be irrigated. At the same time, it can prevent the two major tides from irrigating back. The idea is correct, but it is impossible to make the powerful and powerful scales free up the fields and make lakes and rivers again.

Secondly, if you want to implement Zhengan's strategy, you must send someone to investigate and measure it. Send capable officials to fight both soft and hard with the powerful and witty battles. This will take a long time, but the old party will soon come to power, and it will not be too late.

Finally, because of technology, in fact, compared with later generations, the area of ​​development is not too much. The area of ​​lakes and swamps is much larger than that of later generations. Therefore, there are small floods in Taihu Lake every year, but not many large floods. Even if the strategy of Zha is implemented, it cannot completely prevent the occurrence of floods. Think about it in the future, only one Three Gorges can store floods of hundreds of billions of cubic meters. However, in the large flood season, many areas are still suffering from floods, and at this time. However, some people don’t care whether it is a large flood season. What they see is just such a tossing, but there are still floods. Well, this can attack.

Cai Que sighed.

Wang Ju knew his intentions and said that it would not be possible even a few years ago. In order to successfully implement the new laws and the banking department, Wang Ju kept making concessions and compromises to all forces, so even then, Wang Ju would not adopt Jiang Tan’s opinion.

However, when Wang Ju said this, he stared at the map, and suddenly thought of the Huangpu River in his mind.

He had never thought about it before. After all, at that time he only considered the problems of the country and the Xixia. The country's focus was also in the north. No one mentioned it, so he could not even take into account the water conservancy of a county in the southeast.

But now someone mentioned it, he thought of this famous canal. He didn't pay much attention to his previous life. At most, he knew that the Huangpu River divided Shanghai into two and provided transportation convenience. But at the current height, he immediately thought of its water conservancy value.

Moreover, unlike the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Song Dynasty would not ban the sea. Even though Gao Taotao might have made some crazy actions after he came to power, it only took a few years!

With this canal, not only will the entire Huating County be developed, but it will soon create a super prosperous city. So Wang Ju proposed this idea, and Cai Qu's eyes also lit up.

The two discussed for a while.

According to the original system, when digging this huge canal, the court must send several relevant river management envoys to preside over the project, and then the transfer envoys from Suzhou Xiuzhou and Liangzhe Roads will be promoted to cooperate with it.

However, this cannot be done because the timing is wrong.

This canal project is very large and cannot be successful immediately, and it will take at least several years. However, the old party may have taken the lead at any time. With the performance of the scholars and officials in history, tens of thousands of years would stop the project immediately.

Therefore, the best way is to treat it coldly. The so-called cold treatment means that the court does not come forward, and is presided over by local officials, or even by state officials, but only county officials. It is just a county-level local project, so it doesn’t make much sense to do it.

But the problem arises.

Now it is relatively easy to find a few ministers who are proficient in water conservancy. After all, since Xining, the court has carried out many water conservancy projects, some have been successful and some have failed, and whether they are proficient in water conservancy is clear at a glance.

But these ministers cannot make them serve as magistrates and magistrates.

Another problem is that it is a financial management official.

If you want to carry out this project, the cost will inevitably be huge. But because of the northwest, the court's finances are also very tight now, and it is impossible to allocate tens of millions of qians to let Huating County build this canal. Or it may be delayed until next year or later. God knows what the next year will be. If it is not done well, Cai Que would have left the court long ago, and Wang Ju also went to the other side.

Therefore, the best way is to the court allocate two or three million yuan this year. Although this wealth is huge, it will not reach the point where the old party will deliberately suppress it in the future.

Then next year, the other side will support three to four million guan and four to five million guan. No matter how much it is, it will not work, because even if the other side ignores its own development, the money will be too much to a certain extent, it will attract the attention of the old party. As long as the old party pays attention, with their hatred of Wang Ju, they will still stop the project.

At the same time, because the old party came to power, it is necessary not to disturb the people too much, otherwise it will be given an excuse to attack.

Without disturbing the people, the money will be very nervous, so you must have a very financial expert to make reasonable use of every penny.

It is also difficult to find financial ministers like this, but it is impossible for them to serve as only one county magistrate?

The two of them thought for a long time, but they didn't expect that there were low-level officials with such ability. There must be some, but with their status, it was impossible to deal with such officials, and they didn't know.

Wang Ju sighed, this was my mistake. That is, if he had thought of Huangpu River a few years ago, there would be no need to be such trouble.

However, regret is useless, so Wang Ju thought of the relevant clerks. With their status, fewer dealing with clerks, but these clerks rely on some important officials and give advice for them. As long as they focus on some important officials, they can easily follow the clerks and find some capable talents.

This is how Duan and Zhang and the others figured it out step by step.

Cai Que said: "The country has collected talents, applied talents, and adopted talents, but since our country was founded, military generals were firstly grateful, military achievements, civil officials were firstly imperial examinations, and other kindness, but they ignored another wider group, clerks. clerks had the opportunity to be tempered and also had the opportunity to show their talents. Therefore, appointing two people was not only water conservancy, but also wanted to advocate the first step and make more talents use by the country. Once more clerks entered the officialdom, they would surely inspire the confidence of clerks. From officials to clerks, they were united and loyal to the king and serve the country, and the Song Dynasty would definitely be able to rule."

The administrative system of the Song Dynasty only reached the county level, that is, the county level, at most, there were only magistrates. The county magistrate Bo and the county magistrate, the remaining officials were either officials from various supervisors, but that had nothing to do with government affairs, and the rest were clerks. In fact, in later generations, these clerks were also important local officials.

But Cai Que can't take this seriously.

He has to prepare for the resignation of the prime minister, so he still has the intention to take care of more talents for the country.

And even Wang Ju dared not yell loudly. In addition to the imperial examination, the country must allocate a large number of talents from the clerks to serve as state officials.

However, how can Duan Tianshui and Zhang Jian know the situation inside?

The two left Zhongshu in dizziness, but they didn't react for a long time.

First, he became a formal official.

Second, if you preside over such a large amount of water conservancy, you may be able to leave your name in history.

Third, if it is not done well, it has become the "precedent" for the country to officially appoint clerks.

However, both of them are smart and capable figures. After half a day, Zhang Jian woke up first and said, "Brother Ziya, the direction of the court is not right."

One by one, the whole country came out, and the court's frequent personnel transfers, and rumors spread in the capital. Most people were pessimistic, thinking that the court had begun to suspicion about Wang Ju.

Wang Ju and Cai Que are one in the hearts of the people. If the court suppresses Wang Ju, it will definitely suppress Cai Que.

Without Cai Que’s support, how could this water conservancy project be successful?

"Luping, that's true." Duan Tianshui was also worried.

Without the strong support of the court, the two of them had a low status. If they went down to preside over such a large water conservancy project, they would not be officials or famous, but seek death. Just a dispute over interests could lead them to the eighteenth level of hell.

They are not worried too much, this is a manifestation of high IQ.

Of course, without this high IQ, they would not have had their outstanding performance in the past, and they would not have been selected by Cai Que from the millions of clerks.

At this moment, a young scholar ran out of a tavern and cheered loudly: "The fight started."

Duan Tianshui and Zhang Jian were stunned. As Chinese, they also liked to watch the fun, so they stopped and started fighting.

Who knew that a few scholars came out later, and one scholar said, "The rise of the Song Dynasty will begin from now on!"

From the sentence engraved by Wang Juyu Hengqu Academy, he studied for the rise of the Song Dynasty.

Reading is for the country, not for the golden house, and her beauty is like a jade!

"This brother, why did the fight start?" Zhang Jian couldn't help but stop a scholar and asked.

"The imperial court issued an edict to formally attack Xia."

It turned out that the plan was to start summer destruction in late March.

The weather was just right at that time, and some supplies and armor were still in time to be sent to the front line. The Koreans got weapons and they also had to be sent to the front line until then, which would have some constraints on the Liao Kingdom.

But because of Hei Han's sudden use of troops, Wang Ju had to advance the action nearly a month.

The court negotiated peace. Since ancient times, China's diplomacy has been very clumsy, benevolence and righteousness to the outside world and keep trust in the outside world. They have forgotten how Qin State unified China step by step during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and what ended in Qi State, which was benevolence, righteousness and trustworthiness.

Wang Ju doesn't want to talk about this issue anymore.

Therefore, there must be a legitimate reason, which is that the sentence "San" is better than Jinu, who will defeat Helan and become the mainstay.

With such a great advantage in the Song Dynasty, we actually agreed to peace talks, but why did you Xixia still send scouts to sneak into Shaanxi Road and publicize this rumor and distract our Song Dynasty monarch and ministers?

Since you, Xixia, did not abide by the idea of ​​peace, why did our Song Dynasty still abide by this peace? Is the Song Dynasty so humble!

In this way, great righteousness will be achieved.

So Huanqing Road and Fuyan Road arrested these Xixia scouts, and obtained confessions with severe torture, then sent these scouts to the capital and finally sent them to the Liao Kingdom. It was not that our Song Dynasty did not give you face, but that our Song Dynasty forced us to tear up the peace treaty.

But before these scouts were sent to the capital, these confessions were sent to the capital by fast horses, so the capital issued an edict to tear up the peace agreement, and issued an edict to formally attack Xia, or to officially destroy Xia.

The imperial edict began to be issued before the two entered the Secretariat, but because they had a low status, they did not hear it. Perhaps these scholars had certain ways. When they heard this imperial edict, they were extremely happy and cheered.

"Okay!" Zhang Jian slapped his thigh. This was not only good news for the Song Dynasty, but also good news for the two of them!
