Many things that were taken for granted in later generations are still difficult to understand in this era. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info This has nothing to do with whether you are smart or not, the mindset formed in the process of growing up is difficult to change all at once.

Taking advantage of everyone's thinking, Xu Ping asked Liu Zhi to list some specific data on the blackboard. It includes the runoff of the Luo River and the Bishui River, the annual evaporation of the relevant river sections, the amount of water that needs to be replenished each year by the Bianhe River, the amount of water stored and the amount of water that can be replenished in the surrounding ponds, and finally the highest peak water level and the usual water level in recent years.

These data do not need to be known to the people in the temple, but they can be remembered for future reference, and after the canal is actually opened, it will be used as a reference and corrected. Not to mention that the measurement itself has a large error, that is, the accuracy is high, and there are always places that cannot be measured, and data collation is not a one-time thing, but it must be persisted in order to play the greatest role.

Zhao Zhen and the ministers looked at the data copied by Liu Zhi, digested what Xu Ping had just said, and understood what Xu Ping meant when he said that if Wang Yan only had the three unrepairables, then the canal must be repaired. Wang Yan said that as soon as the canal was opened, the world would shake, and the people would not be able to make a living, but in fact, when the data was listed, there would not be much manpower and material resources required.

Since it is not much needed, and the benefits are great after repairing, of course, it is necessary to repair.

What are the biggest fears of those who are in power and make decisions? To do something, the data reported by the subordinates are all rambling, the cost is incalculable, and the benefits after completion are not clear, and no one dares to make up their minds casually. Now that Xu Ping has clearly listed the costs and benefits, Zhao Zhen's previous hesitation was swept away, and he made up his mind to take this canal as the first major project of his own government, and build it beautifully and brightly, so as to make a good start for his own governance.

Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng naturally knew that by now, there was nothing to stop the canal from starting, so they could only sigh in their hearts. Lu Yijian sighed because Xu Ping's position was consolidated, and it was even more difficult for him to interfere. Wang Zeng regretted that once the canal was completed, Zhao Zhen's ambition would swell, and his administration would become more and more drastic. Not every piece of government will go so smoothly, the steps are too big, and you will have to fall after all. Moreover, the world has become accustomed to quiet, and the government has suddenly become radical, and both officials and ordinary people will have a lot of chaos when they adapt to it.

The most frustrated person was Wang Yan, who never expected that the rhetoric he had carefully prepared for a long time not only did not have the slightest impact on Xu Ping, but made the court and the central government know how carefully he did things.

What to do? Wang Yan only felt that his eyes were dark, and there was no road ahead. After today, I can't stay in the Third Division no matter what, and it is difficult to find someone who can serve in another state without being demoted. Why is this happening? The classics of the examination, the generations have been counted, and the reasons listed by themselves are solid enough, which monarch dares to ignore the people's livelihood and start a big project? Why does Xu Ping calculate how much water flows in the river, and even how much less water will be in the wind and sun, isn't there something wrong!

Along the way, you can pretend to be crazy and stupid in front of Xu Ping, and in the palace, it will be really stupid to pretend to be crazy and stupid in front of the emperor and the ruling ministers. An edict to seize the official and go home to recuperate, how many years of hard work will be in vain. So as soon as he entered the capital, after separating from Xu Ping, Wang Yan was very sober and calm, and he was never as stupid as before.

The general trend has gone, the general trend has gone, Wang Yan lamented again and again in the middle. With ten years of effort, he painstakingly compiled ten volumes of "Spring and Autumn", and then through his achievements in controlling the water on Hebei Road, he was able to gather directly in the Xian Pavilion and enter the third division as the deputy envoy of the household department, but he didn't expect it to be all gone.

Is it really just because of those two chickens? I am the deputy envoy of the three divisions, what's wrong with eating two chickens? Xu Ping's guy still eats two pigs in Heyin County! Looking at Xu Ping, who seemed to be calm on the side, the more Wang Yan thought about it, the more unwilling he became.

On the blackboard against the sand table on the table, Zhao Zhen and the minister re-examined the plan to build the canal, and only felt that this matter was foolproof. Even Wang Zeng, who has always been against it, feels that it is unreasonable for this canal to be unrepaired.

Everyone sat down again, and Zhao Zhen said: "The matter of the new opening of the Luo into the Bian Canal, Xu Ping's investigation is very clear, and the pros and cons have been clearly listed. I thought that it was imperative to open this canal! What do you think? ”

Lu Yijian looked at Wang Zeng, Wang Zeng nodded, and Lu Yijian held the wat and said: "Your Majesty Shengming, the ministers and others also think that opening this canal will be beneficial and harmless. After the autumn flood, the canal can be started. ”

Yan Shu and Mei Xun, as well as Han Yi and other Zaizhi, seconded the proposal one after another.

Seeing that there were no objections, Zhao Zhen nodded with satisfaction: "In this way, the matter will be settled." Lu Xianggong, who do you think is appropriate to preside over this matter? ”

"The minister thought that the excavation of the canal involved a wide range of people, and the deployment of all kinds of manpower and material resources, as much as possible to use the van army, and not easily use the local people, but the minister could not preside. In this way, the two people who participated in the political affairs of Song Shou and Li Shi, the deputy privy envoy, grasped the overall situation. When you are ready, you will be able to lift it with one more officer, and you will be able to do it all in one fell swoop. ”

Zhao Zhen was slightly disappointed when he heard this, he wanted to hand over all the things to Xu Ping, first, Xu Ping paid so much, this credit is not good for others, and then Xu Ping himself can rest assured. But now that Xu Ping has calculated everything clearly, everyone can see that this credit is at their fingertips, how can Zhongshu send this cheap to Xu Ping casually? Lu Yijian has always wanted to suppress Xu Ping, but he is worried that he can't find a chance, let alone give him a chance.

Song Shou is Lu Yijian's person, and Li Shi is more independent, because it is reasonable to use the Xiang army, and it is reasonable for the Zhongshu Sect and the Privy Council to send one person each. However, Lu Yijian left an opening, that is, it was impossible to let the two ministers do it when the excavation was really excavated, and at that time, they would have to find someone to raise it, also to block the mouths of opponents.

Wang Zeng's face is not good-looking, Lu Yijian is forming a gang in the political affairs hall, only one Cai Qi is close to him, if he lets Lu Yijian's most hardcore subordinate Song Shou get this great credit, his life in the political affairs hall will be even more difficult.

Zhao Zhen also saw Wang Zeng's expression and asked, "What does Wang Xianggong think?" ”

Wang Zeng thought for a while, and replied: "Your Majesty, Xu Ping has made it clear just now that there is not much manpower used in the real excavation of this canal, and there is no need to use two governors. There are many affairs in the political hall, and Cai Shou can't get out all of a sudden, so it is enough to let Li Shi preside over it alone, and Xu Ping assists from the side. When it comes to the Xiang Army, Li Zhi can call the shots as much as possible, and who is more suitable than the deputy envoy of the Third Division in terms of the material resources needed? ”

Let Xu Ping participate, which is exactly what Zhao Zhen wants, and immediately nodded and said: "What Wang Xianggong said is true." Then let's settle it like this, Li Zhi presided, Xu Ping assisted, everything was ready before the end of the autumn flood, and the construction will start in late autumn! ”

Although Lu Yijian was dissatisfied, he had no reason to object, so he had to take a group of ministers to receive the order.

Only Wang Yan looked at Xu Ping's eyes getting worse and worse. If he only hated Xu Ping before, he was really jealous at this time. Stepping on your own shoulders, no one likes to be that stepping stone to be stepped on.

How to deal with the two executors of this line, Xu Ping and Wang Yan, will have to wait until tomorrow for Yushitai to come forward. Today's occasion is not right, and it is more important to avoid the two people involved. (To be continued.) )
