Chapter 338: The Villain
Huang Liang also looked at her curiously.
But the girl ran away again like a frightened rabbit.
"A curious little lady!" Huang Liang said.
Maybe, what Wang Ju did in Zheng Baiqu, some people say it's good, some people say it's bad, but no one will say anything lenient. No matter how you evaluate it, he is the most influential person in several counties. Or maybe this little girl is curious.
However, they couldn't see the girl in white running away, biting her fingers with her lips, and the expression on her face was very dejected......
"Hengzhi, you and Xi Yan go over first, say to Cheng Dujian, and ask him to send some soldiers to check on those enclosures to see who is still enclosing them."
"These people are also waiting."
"It's just that the thief's heart is not dead, after all, this is a long two years, maybe they expect the court to transfer me away."
"Is this possible?"
"Hardly, Zheng Baiqu is too meaningful," Wang Ju said.
Not to mention that the scale of this Zhengbai Canal built by himself is larger, compared with history, it appeared earlier, and the Zhengbai Canal in history, or Sanbai Canal and Fengli Canal, was not perfected until the time of Huizong of the Song Dynasty. In fact, it appeared at that time, because the population boom had diluted its significance.
However, if he let Zheng Baiqu be successfully built at the beginning of Xining, it will become the most powerful hole card in the Northwest military.
There will be people in the imperial court who will make trouble for themselves, but there will also be people who recognize this significance, so the possibility of transferring themselves is almost remote.
"Hengzhi, after arriving over there, Zhao Yuanwai has little effect. So be it. You also brought Zhao Du over. Let him let out the news, the sooner he cooperates with the government now, the smaller the loss will be in the end. I didn't kill people this year, but I don't want to kill people next year. ”
"Okay. However, Zi'an, the final sentence was indeed too light, reducing the deterrent effect. ”
"Hengzhi, I have also thought about it repeatedly, the drunkard's intention is not to drink. In the same way, the voice of opposition does not lie with Zheng Baiqu. You don't understand it yet. ”
"Why?"
"Invasion of land, hidden land and usury, if these three things are completely revealed, I am afraid that the Duke of Wen and Duke Han in the court will find me desperately, so I will accept it when I see it."
"The human heart is insufficient."
"It's a good thing that people's hearts are insufficient, and this is progress, but the imperial court didn't guide it properly......"
When it came to these bigwigs, Huang Liang didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he changed the topic: "Labor will be a problem." ”
According to the original estimate, this year's project is greatly advanced. The main canal did not have much time to advance, but many branch canals were enlarged. But the fields came out, and the sergeants and the people cultivated together, and the following works were in big trouble. Moreover, the envoy of the Western Xia Sacrifice Mountain Mausoleum also went to the capital, Sima Guang wrote again, Zhao Ji had no choice, and issued an edict to let Wang Ju screen out the prisoners of war and escort them to Yanzhou, which was brought back by the Western Xia envoy. Wang Ju had no choice, so he sent a battalion of soldiers from Gyeongju to rush to Yanzhou with these thousands of prisoners of war. This battalion of Baojie troops came mainly to teach blasting, and there is no need to teach blasting, they themselves are cavalrymen, and they are of great use in the drains, so they let them take the prisoners of war to Yanzhou and return to the garrison. This time, there is less labor.
So much so that Hou Ke sighed when he saw the rain.
As soon as it rains, construction cannot be carried out, and the road is muddy after the rain.
This mentality is not good, if it does not rain in Shaanxi, it is sad.
Why do you have this mentality, it is forced by labor.
"There is labor...... Wang Ju said.
There is labor, but if Han Qi is not down, there will be no labor!
…………
"200,000 pieces of money, 200,000 horses of silk, 400,000 stone grains, in the blink of an eye, there are only 110,000 pieces of money, more than 80,000 horses of silk, and 160,000 stones of grain." Zhang Mao said.
Indeed, at the time, he felt that it was a pity.
And this is not proposed by Wang Ju, but by these heroes themselves.
But Wang Ju's "tiger head and snake tail" has been reduced by more than half.
If there is a lot, plus the property of Li Zeng's two families, there will be money for repairing the canal in the second half of this year.
"Mao Ze, do it well, the mourning family is worried that this child will kill a lot of people, although he is loyal to the country, but isn't the official family just on the throne, Zheng Baiqu was originally quite capable, but if he kills too many people, it will be ominous." Mrs. Cao said.
Zhao Ju also felt a little pain when he heard it on the side, which was equivalent to meat in his mouth, and Wang Ju spit it back again.
Mrs. Cao asked again: "The mourning family doesn't understand, why do these squires have more than 10,000 family properties?" ”
Isn't it just some landlords, one is not an official household, and the other is not a noble relative, and the money comes from there.
Indeed, the Northern Song Dynasty has developed to this point, and there have been many rich people, only the history known by Wang Ju in his previous life, there are two famous and surnamed big businessmen, and the family property exceeds 10 million yuan. For example, the widow of Yang Liuxiucai in Haizhou saw that the people were pitiful, and she left her family to accumulate money in more than ten of the dozens of houses, so she donated one million yuan at one time to pay taxes on behalf of the people. You must know that the Song Dynasty is very nervous about money, this million guan is only a part of the money in her hand, and the money is only a part of the property, how much that family property is, it is unimaginable. Some people say that Shen Wansan is rich, but he is certainly not as rich as this widow.
Therefore, Zhezong Shi Cen Xiang begged for a book, saying that reaching 1,600 yuan is the property of the Chinese people.
These big gentlemen, with tens of thousands of family assets, are they? This is in Jingyang, if it is in Chang'an, tens of thousands of Guan family properties will not be able to be sold at all, and even a very small number of Tibetan nobles in Qinzhou have a family property of two or three hundred thousand!
In fact, not only these rich people, but also the imperial court finances, the income of the Song Dynasty is not high?
Therefore, later generations were angry and called the Song Dynasty a local tyrant Song.
There are positive and derogatory meanings.
With so much money, if it is placed in the Han and Tang Dynasties, God knows how strong the country will be?
However, the old lady has been in the palace for a long time, and she has obviously fallen behind in the market.
Zhang Mao wanted to make the old lady happy and said: "This is the virtue of Renzong and the virtue of Yingzong." ”
Zhao Ji said coldly on the side: "The rich are richer, the poor are poorer, if you don't govern, the image of the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty will be." ”
"Emperor, what nonsense are you talking about?" Gao said unhappily.
"Yes."
"But this time Wang Ju did a good job, there are Zhang Youchi, there are releases and receiving. So be it. Besides, those methods are not conventional. Once it prevails, the good and bad officials are mixed, and then it will harm the world. Gao said.
"Er, the way to govern the country, we must be benevolent and generous, money and silk are tight, we can save, but we can't fish the people. Mao Ze, tomorrow accompany the mourning family to Xiangguo Temple for incense. Mrs. Cao said.
Zhao Ji was depressed.
Of course he knows how to save, but even if he doesn't eat or drink, how much money can he save?
But overall, the news that Zhang Mao brought back was very good.
A fine was paid, and the land was divided and appeared in the field book, which means that from next year, the people will have to pay two taxes on their cultivated land. As for the land on the side of the sergeant, though he does not pay taxes. But that saves more money.
Thirty-eight battalions of soldiers, the court did not have to pay food. The financial savings that year was 300,000!
After the actual construction is completed, the cost of building the canal may be recovered in three or four years with the savings in military spending and taxes.
Let's not talk about its significance.
Zhao Ji is also confused here, just like the cross-sea bridge that someone counted Cai Xiangxiu as such, is it really just that little money?
So how much did it cost to build the Zhengbai Canal? This will have to wait for Wang Ju to come back, and if it is calculated, it will scare everyone.
The palace is discussing, and the chapters written by Wang Ju and Yang Pan have also arrived in the Chinese book.
Han Qi looked at it, and then made a personnel transfer, swapping Hou Ke with Sanyuan Zhixian.
Why do you do this, maybe the first section of the canal will be next year, and after observation, some minor repairs will be made one after another, but it will only be a piecemeal project. The actual drain has been transferred to the high-water mark area, that is, the former section of the Zheng Canal in history, and the Taibai Canal, only half of the Zhongbai Canal has not been repaired and belongs to the low-water level area.
Hou Ke stayed in Jingyang any longer, and it was meaningless.
Therefore, let him go to Sanyuan and continue to keep these four carriages. But Han Qi was strange in his heart, could it be that this Zheng Baiqu was easy to repair?
Of course, he also knew that this idea was wrong, first of all, he had a headache when he looked at the picture, not to mention the actual implementation. Besides, if it is easy, the capital of the Tang Dynasty is in Chang'an, don't you know that it will be cultivated on this scale? At that time, judging from the water level at the head of the old canal, the water level of Jingshui was higher, and it was easier to divert water. This idea is wrong, then there is only the second possibility, that is, Wang Juyi understands water conservancy, and the second is that the selected officials also understand water conservancy, and the four troikas cooperate, so that the Zhengbai Canal can be built. So a new question is coming again, where does Wang Ju come to know people?
After the order was given, he sat down and pondered.
After thinking about it for a long time, I looked at the Chinese book with fascination.
Although Zheng Baiqu cannot be said to be completed, the first good news has arrived. Besides, it is impossible for him to delay until the day when Zheng Baiqu is completed.
"This time, the Chinese book will never come back, right?" He sneered in his heart.
After Wang Tao went down, the court seemed to be very quiet.
But not very quiet?
Zhao Ji has almost become a puppet in the palace, and of course, Zhao Ji will not be willing to be a puppet and continue to prepare for the future.
However, his right was hollowed out by Han Qi, and he couldn't ask anyone if he wanted to, so he had no choice but to ask the chamberlain to inquire about what skills that minister had, or that minister was incompetent.
Sima Guang is sparse, Your Majesty, you have two prefectures, two provinces, Taiwan, and a shepherd's guard outside, all of whom are ministers of the heart and heart, and your Majesty does not know what to do? But you are deep in the ninefold, you don't trust the minister, you ask about the near Xi, listen to the words of Tu, and like to let the minister interview foreign affairs, which is not right. Various.
He pretended to be confused.
But Han Qi knew that Zhao Ji's move was profound.
However, Sima Guang was also confused.
He is a Taiwanese counselor, a bigwig of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and he feels that it is not very convenient for such an upright impeachment and admonition.
So he found Zhang Fangping and discussed allowing the inside and outside to enter the seal performance, and the sealing thing was a secret performance. Zhang Fangping said yes, why look for Zhang Fangping, Zhang Fangping is a bachelor of Hanlin, and the edict must be drafted by the officials of the two systems before it can take effect.
But some people say that Zhang Fangping found Sima Guang, and it happened that Sima Guang felt that it was not convenient for him to admonish, so he hit it off. In the end, Sima Guang found out that he had been fooled, and finally hated Zhang Fangping.
Why does Sima Guang hate Zhang Fangping, if this seal is played through guò, the minister can bypass the prime minister and directly present the music to the palace, and the power in Zhao Ji's hands will gradually return.
When Zhao Ji saw the twists and turns of the two, he was immediately overjoyed and handed it over to the Chinese Senator. Of course, Han Qi disagreed, but the system that Fu Bi and other gentlemen made that officials were not allowed to interact with each other in private without authorization also made Sima Guang suffer. In fact, Sima Guang may not take this ban system as a thing, but why is he banning Han Qi at this time, he wants to find a draw. As a result, there was a lack of communication between him and Han Qi about these matters.
On this day, when the Yanhe Hall was deliberating, Sima Guang said again: "Those who seal the matter, please make a decision." ”
Zhao Ji replied lightly: "The minister doesn't want to do it. ”
Sima Guang came to his senses and said, "Your Majesty's consultation is the blessing of the society, not the benefit of the minister. ”
Unintelligible!
This inquiry means that even the grass people can inquire in order to understand the situation in the world. But when I read it together, I don't know what Sima Guang wants to say.
So Zhao Ji and Zhang Fangping joined forces to make a small cooperation, and took advantage of Sima Guang's question to issue an edict to determine in detail what to do, if there is anything difficult to implement, that is, to summon the detailed official to go to the Zhongshu for the reason why it is difficult to do it, and write down the stakes. Why don't you Han Qi agree?
Then the earthquake in Beijing, a small earthquake, Kaifeng is located at the edge of the earthquake zone, which is also normal, Zhao Ji asked the prime minister, what is the details of the earthquake?
Zeng Gongliang said, the sky is cracked, the yang is insufficient, the earthquake is more than yin.
Zhao Ji asked again, what is yin.
Zeng Gongliang replied vaguely, the yin of the minister, the yin of the son, the yin of the father, the yin of the woman and the husband, and the yin of the Yidi China, should all be abstained from.
Now that Western Xia has not committed a crime, it is definitely not Yidi who is "more than enough".
Zhao Ji doesn't have a son to force him, let alone a wife, and it's not the yin of the son or the yin of the woman.
What else can there be in the yin, the yin of the minister, the minister is stronger than the king!
Wu Kui immediately said on the side: "But for the villain!" ”
You are the villain, Zhao Ji was so angry that he flicked his sleeves and left. The villain Wu Kui said was Zeng Gongliang, Fu Bi couldn't bear the loneliness, he also wrote in Luoyang that a villain, the emperor has no office, but don't be a gentleman and a villain. However, thousands of officials and hundreds of positions, how can they bother the emperor to distinguish them? But those who seek to do the things of the world do not let a small ginseng be used in the meantime, and no one can do it. Your Majesty does not say that what you have collected is wide, and you will get a lot, and you should prevent the villain from confusing the holy hearing. The treacherous plot seems to be right, the deceit seems to be loyal, and when it is suspicious, it is necessary to distinguish it early.
not only said the villain, but also used a word.
These people didn't name names, so Han Qi couldn't have a seizure.
But these water mills made Han Qi feel really uncomfortable, and now the mountain tomb has also been repaired, and Zheng Baiqu has also been credited. Han Qi thought about it, and finally picked up the pen and said that he was sick and begged to go.
At least this way, it won't be ugly. Otherwise, if it drags on any longer, Zeng Gongliang, Fu Bi and others join forces, and Wen Yanbo changes his attitude again, then he will be very miserable.
The resignation went to Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji was overjoyed, but he immediately calmed down, did Han Qi really want to go down or fake? Don't be happy too soon, if you are fooled, if Han Qi has any back-up, something big will happen. Therefore, after Zhao Ji was happy, he wrote an edict to comfort him. This can't be taken seriously, and those comforting words are even more coquettish.
So Han Qi went to four times in a row, and then he didn't even go to work with a book.
It seems to be true.
However, Zhao Ji said that it was not enough to agree, and what he wrote could only be regarded as a handwritten edict and a draft edict, and could not be regarded as a real edict. So he looked around and saw that the minister of the two systems had the courage to write this edict. (To be continued......) R1292
