"It's such an order," said the second eldest son unconvinced.

"No wonder Da Lang has said many times that the imperial court does not look at ability and merit, but on seniority." Lu Ping said unconvinced.

"Don't talk too much." Wang Ju snorted.

It cannot be said that seniority is not good, politics is indeed very complicated, and even if the intrigue of all sides is discarded, the balance of interests of all parties must be considered.

Of course, if you only look at the qualifications and do not look at their political achievements and merits, it will definitely be wrong. But to let a teenager preside over the government, Han Qi's courage may not be enough, so he has this mandate.

Could it be that Wang Ju is honest with Han Qi and can't treat me as a nineteen-year-old youth?

The imperial court ordered Yang Pan to be the official envoy of Zheng Baiqu, Wang Ju to be the deputy envoy, Cheng Fang to be the capital eunuch, and Hou Ke to be the magistrate of Jingyang. The troika that Wang Ju had hoped for was successfully realized.

However, for this order, the ministers are still quarreling.

So in order to balance, Han Qi changed Wang Ju from a chief envoy to a deputy envoy.

It is true that Wang Ju is too young, and everyone is not at ease.

Eryang Pan is a humble gentleman, in his forties, his virtue reassures everyone, his age reassures everyone, his past political achievements are also good, and his ability also reassures everyone.

As soon as the status of the two changed, the court dispute immediately subsided.

However, Zhang Fangping asked coldly. "Han Gong, is Wang Ju willing?"

Maybe after a few decades, everyone will not have any objections to Han Qi's order. For such a big project, wouldn't you let an old official go down to preside over it, but let a hairy boy who still has a year to go to the coronation ceremony preside over it?

Looking through the annals of history, there is no such thing.

But what about the actual serious analysis?

Its origin is the piece written by Zhang Ji and Wang Ju.

Of course. Before the Battle of Dashun City came. The imperial court's eyes on Shaanxi were focused on this battle. Although the amount of support allocated is not much. However, in such a difficult financial situation, and when everyone believes and hesitates, it also shows that the imperial court attaches great importance to it.

At that point, don't think about anything.

After the war, Han Qi turned out the recitals of Zhang and Wang again, although Sima Guang and Peng Siyong were slightly opposed, the opposition was not strong, but in fact, what they opposed was against Wang Ju. And not Zheng Baiqu, or Zheng Guoqu, Sanbai Canal, or the future Fengli Canal itself.

Why? Shaanxi grain is too sad, once this Zhengbai Canal is successfully rebuilt, it will bring a big granary to Shaanxi, not for military planning, for the people, this granary also has a huge role.

Some ministers even don't know that the country's finances are being pressed to the extreme, and the water and soil have deteriorated to the extreme. On the contrary, he thought that since the Han and Tang dynasties could make good use of Zheng Guoqu, why did the Song Dynasty, which had sufficient financial resources several times, not be able to do this.

Why is the ancient Hanzhong the richest in the world? Zheng Guoqu also!

So is Han Qi going to provoke this responsibility? No, if he fails, he will take some responsibility, but not too much. Because Han Qi thought carefully for many days, and asked Wang Ju again and again, Wang Ju said yes, and Han Qi even agreed to some of Wang Ju's "rude" conditions, so even if it didn't work, the main responsibility was Wang Ju's, not Han Qi.

The imperial court changed the chief and deputy envoys, and many ministers were satisfied.

But Wang Ju can't be a righteous envoy, so the power in his hands is limited, and because of his qualifications, he has no right to let Yang Pan listen to his opinion. This will infinitely increase the possibility of failure, Wang Ju bears a great risk, but the court compresses his rights, how can Wang Ju be willing?

Peng Siyong said: "According to the story of the battle of Qingzhou, Cai Ting is the governor of the state, and Wang Ju is the governor of the county. ”

Zhang Fangping didn't speak anymore, after all, this order was approved by more than ninety percent of the ministers, and the battle of Dashun City was the first time that Wang Ju noticed it, but how could the imperial court let Wang Ju serve as the governor of Gyeongju? Therefore, Cai Ting was sent to Gyeongju. Moreover, Yang Pan is also a candidate recommended by Wang Ju to Han Qi. So what else can be said?

When I arrived at the post house, I had this conversation.

"Pack your bags, let's go immediately."

"Go to Shaanxi now?" The second eldest son asked.

Yang Pan hasn't left yet, so why be in a hurry as a deputy envoy?

"Not to Shaanxi, but to Chengdu."

"To Chengdu?"

"Yes, if we hurry, we can arrive in Chengdu before the beginning of the Spring Festival."

Many officials went to Sichuan to take up their posts, and the speed was very slow, going down the Grand Canal, and then turning to river boats, reaching the Three Gorges, and entering Sichuan from the gorge.

Not only to Sichuan, but also to other places, the speed is also very slow. The most famous is that Su Dongpo was transferred from Huangzhou to Ruzhou, the history of the long way to Ruzhou, and the road expenses have been exhausted, plus the pain of losing a child, Su Dongpo wrote to the court, asking not to go to Ruzhou for the time being, to live in Changzhou first.

This illustrates two problems, the first problem is money, Su Dongpo is not without money, his official position has not been low before, but he doesn't know how to manage money, when he has money, eat, drink and have fun, and spend all his money. After the poetry case happened, he was demoted to Huangzhou, and he had no money in his hand, so he gave away the concubine, and he really couldn't support this big family. In addition, it shows that although Su Dongpo does not know how to manage money, he is not greedy as an official, otherwise he will not be embarrassed to that point if he is greedy.

The second question is that Su Dongpo is unwilling to endure hardships, is the journey from Huangzhou to Ruzhou really long? Huangzhou is Huanggang, Ruzhou is in the north of Nanyang, there is certainly no avenue from Huangzhou to Ruzhou, but from Huangzhou you can go to Anzhou, from Anzhou to Suizhou, Suizhou to Tangzhou, Tangzhou can reach Ruzhou, this is the Song Dynasty Pingjing Nanhu South Road, but also Di Qing led the Fan to ride south to Pingnan Road, tens of thousands of troops and grain and grass can pass, is a family of cars and horses can not pass? How far can it be from this road, it is not as far as Kaifeng to Chang'an. But where can you do a boat happy in such a backward car. Therefore, if a family takes a boat, how can they not go around in a big circle, such a big circle, Huangzhou goes down to Runzhou, Runzhou turns the Grand Canal to the capital, and then from the capital to Ruzhou, and then from the capital to Ruzhou, the province is only a few hundred miles from Tangzhou to Huangzhou.

However, it may be another reason, Su Dongpo wants to take a detour, and this detour can stay in the capital. Then there will be a lot of opportunities, and even stay in the capital. However, too many things happened on the road, and I saw that there was a vacancy in Changzhou. Only then did he ask the imperial court to let him stay in Changzhou.

I can actually endure hardships. Even to Bashu is not far away. Lü Yuqing was temporarily given an important task, and arrived in Chengdu from the capital in less than 20 days. Why, go on horseback!

If you take the waterway, you won't be able to reach it for two months.

That's why Wang Jucai said this.

There are still sixteen or seventeen days before the Spring Festival, and if the group is in a hurry, it is enough to reach Chengdu.

"But why did we go to Chengdu Mansion?" The second eldest son of Quan is confused, Zheng Guoqu is in Shaanxi, not in Sichuan.

"Don't ask too much."

The group hurriedly packed their luggage. Out of the capital.

…………

"Dam in the water, Jiangdong Wei, open silt fields, set up drainage areas, bundle water and wash sand, and divert yellow water into the river?" Zhao Ji muttered.

In fact, what Wang Ju said that day was just a rough idea, why the ministers were amazed, there is no other reason, because what Wang Ju said can almost be used as the general outline of water conservancy in the entire Great Song Dynasty in the next few decades!

Not that one area, but the entire Great Song Dynasty. From south to north, east to west!

Shen Kuo's polder five theories are quite famous. Why do some people oppose Wanchunwei, because they put forward five views, one is to drain the water surface of 20 li as a wei, when the upstream flood rises, the destination of the 20 li lake is reduced, and the flood peak floods, which is easy to cause floods. This is consistent with Wang Ju's repeated mention that the river must be kept unobstructed and a large number of deep-water lakes must be used as flood storage areas. Secondly, Wanchunwei is close to Jingshan in the north, and the foothills are used as embankments, and the water of the Yangtze River flows through the mountain gorge, which will directly irrigate the east of Jingshan, causing disasters. Third, some people think that there are dragons infested under Qinjiawei, so they have repeatedly broken the polder. After the 40,000 Chunwei was deserted, there were more than 100 people who made a living by mining here, and once the lake was restored, more than 100 households would be unemployed and would rebel. To the southeast of the fifth wei is the Great Lake, and the embankment is constantly hit by wind and waves, and it is difficult to maintain it strong after a long time.

Shen Kuo refuted these five views one by one with the five theories of the polder.

Therefore, Shen Kuo's Five Sayings of Polders has great limitations, and it is only limited to Wanchun Wei itself, rather than a large stroke like Wang Ju, starting from Dongting Lake and ending at Taihu Lake. How much Jiangdong Wei will be developed, not to mention anything else, but from Chaohu Lake to the Yangtze River, that is, the area of Yuxi River where Sun Cao is deadlocked, it is such a large area, and the area of polders will reach more than one million mu in the future. Its area is only one percent of Koto's. But right now, there are only a few dozen pitifully small.

Shen Kuo may have had some limitations in his thoughts at that time, and he may have been afraid of causing greater controversy, so he only focused on Wan Chunwei, and everyone didn't pay much attention to it. However, now Wang Juju strokes, these bigwigs look at the output of Wanchunwei, and they have to rent 36,000 grains that year, and the income of Hupu Sang is 500 hundred, which is only renting grain, and the actual income may be multiplied by ten, that is, the grain production of one Wanchunwei will increase by more than 300,000 hundreds, and one bucket is ten buckets, because the rice is relatively heavy, and one Hu is equivalent to 1.3 to 1.4 stones, that is, the actual grain income exceeds 400,000 stones! The average yield per mu of high and low fat and thin has reached more than three stones!

There is also its cost, the total cost of repairing this polder is only 30,000 husks, Jiangnan millet is really worthless, this millet is probably less than 3,000 yuan. In addition, there are 40,000 yuan, which is 400 yuan.

Of course, there must be more than that. There must be some "unconventional means" in the middle, otherwise it is not enough to build a few steep doors at this cost.

Second, the local people have a large population density, more people and less land, as soon as they heard about the construction of Wanchun Wei, the people have supported, and those who have money have contributed money, and they have made powerful contributions, so they quickly gathered more than 14,000 people who came for free within ten days, burned weeds in five days, and built a large polder ridge six zhang wide and one zhang two feet high, as long as 84 miles in forty days, and was worth tens of thousands of mulberry trees. It took another 40 days to properly plan the fertile fields in the polder and repair the five water gates.

This is Jiangdong, and Shaanxi cannot have this condition.

But doesn't that mean that most of the Jiangdong area can learn Wanchunwei?

Isn't one Wanchunwei a few thousand yuan, ten Wanchunwei is only tens of thousands of yuan, but ten Wanchunwei can get four million stone grain! But the area of Jiangdong is so large, not to mention ten, even a hundred similar polders can afford to build. 100 Wanchun ...... No one dared to think about it.

Therefore, Wang Ju enlarged Jiangdong Wei from Wanchunwei to the entire Jiangdong, and the ministers looked at Wanchunwei's various reports and counts, which immediately formed a huge impact.

However, Jiangdongwei is only a part of what Wang Ju said, and even tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of hectares of small water conservancy in the southern mountainous areas, hundreds of thousands of hectares of silt fields in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and Zhengguo Canal!

After the Song Dynasty, don't do anything, as long as you do what Wang Ju said, you don't have to worry about food within a hundred years.

Moreover, there is this strategy for controlling the river.

"Wang Juzhen hasn't heard of the Shen brothers' Wan Chunwei?"

"About no, Shen Kuo is in the capital, if you have heard of it, Wang Ju will definitely ask him to come out to help this time. However, Yichen thought that although he had never heard of the Shen brothers and Wan Chunwei, he would definitely have heard similar remarks in the future. It's just that after it was spread to Shaanxi, things went different, and Wang Ju didn't believe it. But it inspired him. Han Wei said.

"It's not a good thing either."

"Yes, Han Gong asked, have you been to Jiangnan. Wang Ju said no. Han Gong asked again, then how do you know? Wang Ju said that Xiaguan was in Huachi County, and he saw many maps, comparing the terrain, how could he not know, couldn't Han Gong see it? Han Gong and the ministers were speechless for a long time. ”

"Hahaha, it's not impossible, at that time, I destroyed Shu in the Ping Dynasty, Taizu also looked at the map, he could point out the country, if Wang Ju is proficient in water conservancy, look at the map, analyze the world's water conservancy, it is not impossible." (To be continued......) R1292
