Chapter 299: Uncles (II)

Zhao Ji's brain was bleeding, and it took him most of the time to come to his senses and ask, "Envoy Han, why is this so?" ā€

Han Jiang pointed to these account books and said: "In fact, the finances began to collapse in the last years of Renzong, and the first emperor was even stricter. ā€

But he immediately said again: "Your Majesty, the more you can't make a noise at this time, you are afraid that the enemy will take advantage of the country, you are afraid that the people of the world will be uneasy, and you are afraid that the court will ......be in chaos."

In fact, the finances are corrupt, Zhao Shu and Zhao Zhen have made mistakes, Zhao Shu is making trouble with Puyi every day, and that minister has the heart to do things? Zhao Zhen is not very good in his later years, he doesn't care about political affairs, Fu Bi and Han Qi just want to be peacemakers.

As a peacemaker, can the country's finances still be intact?

There are also many waterlogging disasters after Zhao Shu ascended the throne, and the two emperors died one after another, not only the mountain tomb money, but also the death and the enthronement, to reward the world's ministers and soldiers, this money is called a lot, so the already bad finances are even worse.

But the main mistake was the mistake of Zaiji, especially Han Qi's mistake. But Zhao Ji only succeeded to the throne, how to deal with it? As soon as it was dealt with, the court was immediately in chaos. And this matter must not be publicized publicly, neither at home nor abroad, and they cannot be made aware of it.

Zhao Ji said again: "How to accumulate it? ā€

"Some of them have paid taxes for many years in advance, and some of them have accumulated money for buying and buying."

"How can I be saved?"

"The old minister and Mr. Zhang jointly wrote a letter, asking His Majesty to take financial management as the first important policy of the country, but fortunately, in the past, the imperial court clearly stipulated that the Beijing master was not predetermined, and the local government first held it. His Majesty then selected the good ministers, managed carefully, and eliminated the arrears. ā€

"How can you get rid of so much debt?"

"Your Majesty, please at this time. Take it easy. ā€

Han Jiang has a point. Zhao Ji restrained his anger with anger. Han Jiang also said: "The country has had many disasters and difficulties in the past few years, two major floods during the first emperor, and last year Shaanxi was slightly weak due to drought. This is the first difficulty. His Majesty ascended the throne in the face of such many calamities, and some ministers were ineffective, which was the second difficulty. Therefore, when it is eventful, His Majesty's plan for the present must be considered both short and long. ā€

"What is a short and a long?"

"The short is to make the transition of the country smooth. Let His Majesty be recognized by the people of the world, and then immediately send an envoy to the Western Xia to mourn. Although the lord of the Western Xia also died at the end of last year, but to this day, the Western Xia has been smoothly handed over, so the general trend is more favorable than our dynasty. ā€

"How?"

"Your Majesty, if you can't bear it, it's a big mess, and the actual ministers hear about the great victory on the front line, and they can't wait to put pen to paper. Immediately go to the front, but this is for the sake of national stability. When so. Han Jiang said that in fact, he also belongs to the radical faction, and he is still a blind radical......

Zhao Ji paced back and forth.

"The chief will choose good ministers, and immediately discuss, the country's financial difficulties are so bad, it must be treated."

It should be that what Han Jiang said was still good, and Zhao Ji immediately adopted it.

So after going back, he gave the edict to Zaizhi: "The country has suffered a great mourning, and the public and private are exhausted, so it is advisable to reduce redundant expenses." The funeral of Renzong, the first emperor did not dare to cut it off, but I did not need to avoid suspicion. ā€

In this black hole, several rulers are a little weak-minded, so they are all submissive.

Then he gave the clan a close minister, and said: "Renzong has ruled the world for more than 40 years, and the palace is rich in the treasury, so the legacy is rich, and the first emperor has only been in the world for four years. ā€

Yes, only a third of what it used to be. The actual loss of the treasury has little to do with the treasury, two systems, but this money cannot be spent indiscriminately.

Later, he sent an uncle to Western Xia.

To be precise, it is Zhao Shu's uncle, Gao Taotao's uncle, Gao Zunyu.

Compared with Cao Tong, another uncle who wants to keep his position, Gao Zunyu is much more competitive. But it was the table of his envoy this time, as well as some of the tables in the back, that really made Zhao Ji miserable.

After Gao Tao became the mother of the world, Gao Zunyu stayed in the Zhenrong Army as a capital prisoner, and he stayed for several years.

Zhao Ji issued an edict to let the inner temple Chongban Wei Qi make up for the three-year winter clothes of Zhiping, Gao Zunyu was a mourning envoy, and brought an edict to the past, to the effect that your original Xixia lord is not a thing, the first emperor is kind, and you Xixia repaired, reopened the mutual market, but your lord has repeatedly raised troops and invaded my Great Song Dynasty. The first emperor was forgiving, and after the first battle of Dashun, he only sent envoys for interrogation, and did not send troops to fight. Today, the lord of your small country has been established, and I have just ascended the throne, and I am thinking about it, hoping to restore and repair with your Western Xia, and I will not blame the past.

Gao Zunyu arrived in Youzhou.

In the name of orphans and widows, the Liang family did not greet them, but sent Wang Yu as an envoy, and intended to wear auspicious clothes to greet them.

Without him, in the past, the envoys of the Song Dynasty were too ineffective, and even full of ugliness, and many people took the initiative to hide it for the Western Xia after they returned.

However, this time Gao Zunyu was very powerful, and immediately asked.

Although the Song Dynasty died an emperor, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the Western Xia was also afraid of what happened, and as soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, he immediately re-gave the year, which is what the Western Xia eyes craved the most.

Li Yu had no choice but to kneel down to greet him.

Then he set up a banquet for Gao Zunyu to entertain him, and talked about the battle of Dashun City, and Li Yu replied: "They are a group of plunderers, not our officers and soldiers." ā€

Gao Zunyu was happy and asked, "How many people can you have in your country?" There are 100,000 plunderers? ā€

"The country is embarrassed, and there are naturally many plunderers."

"Your lord Koubian, help the wounded and flee, is this another false statement? The official family is merciful, deliberately brought the hand of your lord, if it is a plunderer, I should throw it in the wild and feed it to the wild dogs! ā€

Gao Zunyu said and took out the dragon hand.

Boy, dare you say that this is not Li Liangzuo's little hand!

Li Yu was very embarrassed, and finally said arrogantly: "The king despises the lower kingdom, although the city is small, it also has tens of thousands of strings, and it can also be used to deal with the king." ā€

Gao Zunyu was furious, this person was also a radical, and he shouted: "My lord is a god and martial arts, don't be arrogant, otherwise you will definitely send a large army to attack Xiyi." ā€

Grandma's, what kind of people are they, they have lost so badly, and they don't know how to repent.

Liang quietly watched and listened behind the screen, and when he heard this, he sent someone to shake his hand secretly.

The Song Dynasty needed time to achieve a smooth change of power. Western Xia also needed time to recover.

In fact, there is a piece of news that has been placed on the desk of the Song Dynasty. After Li Bingchang ascended the throne. The Liang family listened to the government and sent an envoy to the Khitan to mourn, but did not send an envoy to the Song Dynasty to mourn. That's it, Liang's book is in the court, the book palace, and the book is called the system. This is not the lord of the country, but the queen mother and the emperor.

But Zhao Ji was also helpless, it was not him who became the emperor. A smooth handover was achieved.

The country is like this, because it is unbearable, but Han Qi has been in power for ten years, and the tree has deep roots, and it is not easy to replace it, so at this time, Zhao Ji needs a good environment, so he endured this anger first.

Li Liangzuo died, humiliated, and suffered from Gao Zunyu's anger. Two insults.

The Liang family also endured it, and sent a messenger Xue Zongdao to mourn. Let's get some good. It's not enough to give the year, and the mutual market must be reopened.

…………

Just when everyone's attention was drawn to Zhao Ji's ascension to the throne, Wang Ju returned to Shaanxi.

The Zhengbai Canal is actually two canals, one is the Zheng Canal and the other is the White Canal, and the Zheng Canal is the irrigation system dominated by the Zhengguo Canal of the Qin State.

From the west of the Zhongshan West foot valley mouth, that is, the northwest of Jingyang County, in the west foot valley to make a stone weir dam, the use of the northwest slightly high terrain, the dam Jingshui into the canal, to the east, and along the way of the water control, clear water, turbid water and Shichuan water into the canal, has been injected into the Beiluo River, the total length of the trunk canal is 300 miles.

This is really not easy, especially in the backward era of the Qin State, just the measurement of this sea dial, it requires great wisdom.

Even now, with the knowledge of his previous life, Wang Ju is still a difficult subject to measure the height of each river section. Especially for such a key canal, even if it is separated by hundreds of miles, the height error cannot exceed one meter, otherwise there will be a big problem.

The canal can no longer be developed, the terrain has changed, and it can be rebuilt, but the difficulty has been further increased, and the cost of expenditure is unimaginable.

Therefore, the project is mainly on the white canal in the south.

The white canal is divided into three parts, the Taibai canal in the north, which irrigates Sanyuan and Fuping.

Zhongbai Canal, but to Gaoling County is divided into three branch canals, Zhongbai Canal, South Limit Canal, North Limit Canal, irrigation Sanyuan, Gaoling, Liyang.

Nanbai Canal, irrigation of the three plains, clean water and water control into the canal, set up a steep gate, three points into the Zhongbai Canal, two points into the clear canal, and then set up a steep gate at the three limit mouths, to control the clear water and the Zhongbai Canal, if the water and rain are too much, the use of the upper and lower water county differences, open one after another, and return the water to the clear water, in order to regulate the Nanbai Canal, Qingshui and Zhongbai Canal.

It was this Sanbai Canal that the Song Dynasty was about to repair.

Therefore, the name is a bit chaotic, Zheng Guoqu, Zheng Baiqu, Baiqu, Sanbaiqu.

Later, it was simply changed to Fengli Canal.

Jingyang is located in the upstream of Sanbai Canal, the benefit area is not large, but it is located in the upper reaches, almost grasping the main source of Sanbai Canal, so Wang Ju recommended Hou Wei as Jingyang Zhixian.

This headquarters is also located in Jingyang County.

Wang Jufeng came to Jingyang simply.

When they met, they said: "I have seen Yang Gou Envoy, Cheng Ku Envoy, Hou Zhi County. ā€

A few people are not very familiar, and most of them are much older than him, calling each other words, Wang Ju is happy, but others are not happy.

Yang Pan said angrily: "Wang Gou, Han Gong has an order, let you go to the capital to report on your work immediately after you return to Shaanxi." ā€

Han Qi asked Wang Ju to serve as the deputy envoy, but Wang Ju was not happy and went directly to Chengdu to see Dujiangyan. Yang Pan's temper is not too bad, but Yang Pan is also unhappy, you don't want to do it, what do I want to do? With such a big project and insufficient money, how can it be rebuilt? And at your young age, who will you show your face?

"Oh, I'll go to the capital right away, but what is Baiqu's plan?"

Hou Ke doesn't care, he is Jingyang Xinzhi County, mainly focusing on Jingyang affairs, supplemented by Sanbaiqu. Therefore, he said on the side: "It turns out that the water level of Shimen has a large difference and is no longer available. If you want to rebuild the white canal, you must dig a new canal in the north of Shimen, integrate with the Nanjing water from the west, and redirect the Nanjing water into the new canal, which can irrigate about 20,000 hectares. ā€

"That is, to completely open a new canal and overturn and rebuild all the original three white canals?"

"Exactly, and its main canal is fifty miles long, and there are many stone canals, and the difficulty of opening the canal is extremely great. Therefore, I also proposed another to build yƬ, the mouth of the flood, to the camel and the white canal, only more than ten miles, although the water level is low, can not irrigate the high place, but not much labor, but also very money-saving, if the money is sufficient, from the camel to open the canal again, the water line twenty-five miles, to the east of Linjing Town, it is high into the white canal, the irrigation area is not small. And there are fewer stone roads, which will save a lot of labor and money than the first one. ā€

"Let me show me the map."

Hou Ke brought the map.

Wang Ju looked at it, but he didn't see the reason, but he really looked at the map to know where it was?

Hou Ke said: "And we don't know anything about gunpowder, we don't know its power, and we don't know its cost, so the three buildings have not been decided for a long time. ā€

"What kind of stone along the way?"

"It's mostly Qingyan."

However, Wang Ju also regretted it after asking, it is estimated that the two talked about the types of stones, most of them were playing the piano to the cow, what Hou Ke said, Wang Ju may not understand, what Wang Ju said, Hou Ke may not understand. But Wang Ju pondered it, and it was estimated that most of it was hard gneiss.

"Is there any gunpowder in the county treasury?"

"Some of it was shipped."

"Let's go blow it up."

Hard or not, blow it up first. (To be continued......) R1292
