"You are an official of the imperial court, and you have the trust of the official family, so you should do more for the imperial court, and focus on the public." Zhang Zai said.

But Guo smiled happily.

Who doesn't want their children to be good, with Wang Ju's promise, his son is equivalent to a strong guarantee. Don't talk about others, even Ruoda Cai Ting, when he mentioned Wang Ju, he was full of praise, saying that he was the mainstay of the future Great Song Dynasty.

The concubine poured another cup of tea for Zhang Zai.

Zhang Zai said: "Cai Gong has added the deputy envoy of Shaanxi again. ”

"Hey, how did he get back to his original position?"

"You're wrong, this is an increase, the original position is not moving, I'm afraid that Weizhou is too far away, and Chang'an is a little beyond the reach of the whip, so let Cai Gong concurrently serve as the deputy envoy for transshipment, so as to act cheaply."

Wang Ju thought about it, I'm afraid it's not, in general, although Zhao Ji began to move closer to centralization, but he is still a little precautionary against the border ministers, if the border ministers are concurrently transferred to the deputy envoy position, the power in their hands will be greater, then it will be closer to the Tang Dynasty's jiedu envoy.

This reason is Cai Ting's hard work and hard work, and he used it to appease Cai Ting.

However, Cai Ting is indeed a capable minister, who is good at military and civil affairs, and in fact, there are really many capable ministers like this, not only Cheng Shimeng, Xue Xiang, such as Wang Su, Ma Zhongfu, who was transferred from Qinzhou last winter, etc., but the imperial court did not use it well.

A few women in the back are cooking.

Zhang Zai sipped tea, still a little worried.

Wang Ju was a little crying and laughing, and he said again: "Teacher, when I mentioned this Jingtian system, I thought of another person. ”

"Who?"

"Wang Mang, after Wang Mang usurped the throne, he implemented a new policy in imitation of the "Zhou Li" system, and the specific method was to change the currency system, change the official system, and restore the fù Jingtian system in the name of the Wang Tian system. The salt, iron, and wine currency and mountains, forests, and rivers were nationalized, the cultivated land was redistributed, and the system of slaves and maids was abolished. Launched the five-average credit loan and six-guan policy to balance prices. Punishment, etiquette, and field house uniforms have also been restored to the weekly ritual mode. But the result? ”

Can it be said that Wang Mang's reform is not good?

If you look at it two thousand years later, Jane is really wonderful.

But when the two Han Dynasty alternated, it was not good, but five thunders thundered to the top, and the catastrophe was overcome!

It was so ahead of its time that there was simply no soil for successful implementation at that time.

For example, this restoration of the Jingtian system in the name of the Wangtian system was successful, but at what point was it successful. Two thousand years later......

For example, when did this waste trilogy and slaves succeed? A thousand years later, in the Song Dynasty, the tribe was barely eliminated, it can only be said that reluctantly, some backward barbarian areas still have the tribe, as for the slaves and maids everywhere, it can only be said that the slaves and maids of the Song Dynasty have more personal freedom than those of the Han and Tang dynasties.

Zhang Zai naturally knows this history.

Wang Ju mentioned Wang Mang's reform, Zhang Zai meditated, and couldn't help but be silent again.

But why did Wang Mang initiate reforms? Teacher, there is a secret to this. That is the problem of population, the Han and Tang Dynasties have not yet occupied the city of rice, and the yield is lower than ours. However, at that time, the number of households in the Western Han Dynasty exceeded 10 million, which had long exceeded the limit of the carrying capacity of the earth, and such a large population caused all kinds of contradictions. ”

The reason is as simple as that, don't talk about what orthodox name is to consolidate your position.

This population will also be a big problem that the Song Dynasty will face, if there is no miscellaneous grain, even if there are no Jin people to go south. Once the population swelled to 30 million households, the Song Dynasty itself had to perish. No matter what internal governance and benevolent government are implemented, a great uprising will break out sooner or later.

"Teacher. Why was Xia Shang Zhou able to establish a country for a long time? It was the establishment of the kingdom and the royal moderation. So looking at the history books of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was no war that year? A large number of wars have caused the people to be unable to expand, so there is no population crisis. Our dynasty is the same, causing this situation, one is annexation, and the other is population. The population has swelled to this tipping point. ”

"It's not easy to deal with this population."

"Easy to do," Wang Ju said.

I'm not afraid of a large population, I'm afraid that the population is not large, but it depends on how to use it.

"Easy to do?"

"Teacher, when you arrive in the capital, you can just ask the Kapok Division."

Why did Wang Anshi see cotton, and immediately thought of Kapok Division, this reason is also very simple, how many people are there on Jiangnan West Road and Fujian Road? I can't squeeze it anymore. But without this population, what does the Kapok Division use to conjure cotton?

For example, if you get Liaodong, now you have started to use coal, and cotton has appeared, so how many people will have to be resettled in the vast Great Northern Wilderness? But there are no people in the Central Plains, where will the people be relocated? Even if the people are willing to move, the officials will oppose it.

But what to do, Wang Ju didn't think clearly, after all, his status is still not high, and many things can't be done. The resources in hand are also limited, although ten large families in Yanzhou were tied up by Wang Ju because of bamboo paper.

However, they are only big families in Yanzhou, not really top big families. Either there is the Gao family, does Wang Ju dare to tie up the Gao family? Wang Anshi can't do it.

So in the end, I had to tie up the inner library and force it.

Subversion! Radical disruption!

Jang Jae barely said a word. But Wang Ju likes it, it's best to enter Beijing like this, where is not the place for you to speak!

However, Wang Ju is also about to face a crisis.

It turned out that he had also thought about it, just like his own analogy, the change of law began immediately, and the standing line was about to begin, learning from Su Dongpo was the rhythm of looking for death. Go to Sima Guang's side, I believe there will be many people who like it, although Yanzhou does not belong to any Shuo party, but it is a little fishy with the northerners. Wait for the heels to stand firm, and make a big face, but that would be too undisciplined.

also learned from Lu Huiqing, became Wang Anshi's helper, and carefully and patiently corrected some bad points in Wang Anshi's changes. So he came to visit Zhang Fangping and said those strange things to Zhang Fangping. However, no matter what he does, Wang Anshi may not listen to him. That's the crux of the matter. If you don't listen to him, there will be two ends, and Wang Anshi will be pointed out sooner or later, and tens of thousands of people will be scolded. Or make Wang Anshi unhappy and go down like Xue Xiang.

So this choice has been baffling him.

It wasn't until after going to Beijing this time to report on his work that he made it clear, hiding in the shadows, and accumulating his strength.

But now there is a problem, Zheng Baiqu has been repaired, and his task has been completed. The best way is to continue to let go, but Zhao Ji will definitely not let himself go, what will he do when the time comes?

The teacher stayed in the capital. If you do it smartly, you can barely get into things. But when you enter the capital, can you stay out of it?

Zhang Zai went to the capital.

Subsequently, the imperial court sent an envoy down.

The first thing was to summon Cheng Fang to Beijing to preside over the flood discharge area and silt fields.

Sima Guang saw it, Wang Ju saw it, and the two sets of plans were all placed in front of everyone. Wang Ju did not agree with whether it was northward or eastward. But the imperial court had no money, so it had to make do, so Wang Ju talked about the flood discharge area and silt fields.

Sima Guang said that it was eastward. So the two are combined. Eastward flow plus flood discharge area. However, how to flow eastward, there was controversy, Zhang Gongjian yì closed the north flow, Sima Guang said that the east flow will be dredged first, the north flow will be less water, the water will be less and the sand will accumulate faster, then the north flow is gradually shallow, the east flow is wider again, then it is the time to close the north flow, and now the north flow will be easy to have an accident. And it won't be long. Three or two years is enough. Dare Qing now knows about this accumulation of sand.

Zhao Ji asked Si Weiguang and Zhang Mao to go down to inspect the Yellow River again.

Wang Anshi said: "Sima Guang's deliberations are often inconsistent, if he is ordered to look at the river, he will not follow his discussion in the future." It is a heavy duty to make a job untenable. ”

This is not his statement on governing the river, but the actual words he said, except for Sima Guang's good friends, no matter who does something, Sima Guang says villains, traitors, and national thieves, and then says that this is not good and that is not good. Involving him is only bad. There is no good thing, and it is not good to make a noisy one. As a result, nothing can be done.

Zhao Ji smiled dumbly, and only let Zhang Mao go down alone. But Zhang Mao also had a misunderstanding. After a brief look, it was said that the east slope of the Ergu River was eight points, and the north flow was only two points. Because the eastward flow is close to the sea, the flow must be a little larger, but it is also impossible to reach eight points. This time, the Yellow River had another accident.

But now everyone must not know, since the eastward flow has reached eight points of water, it probably doesn't matter if the Beigu River is closed. Therefore, it was proposed to close the Beigu River.

After the discussion, the flood discharge area and the silt field will be discussed.

Wang Ju wrote very clearly on several pieces of paper, including the principle, just like a house, the north and south windows are opened, and the wind is immediately crossed. But only a window was opened, and although there was wind in the room, the wind was very weak.

When the flood is discharged, you can't open two openings to let the water flow. Then it's not silting, it's mud. Therefore, there is only one opening to be made, and the water is released to kill the river water, which will still flow, but very slowly, very slowly, and then the sediment and mud will settle together. No one likes sand, but mud is what everyone needs. In winter, when the water recedes, the water in the flood discharge area also recedes, and then the breach is closed, and the water in the flood discharge area is diverted to the ditch and pond, and the fertile land is established.

But in this way, Wang Ju could not estimate how thick the silt would accumulate, first, the turbidity of the water of the Yellow River is different, it is changing, and second, the flow rate of this flow is not easy to estimate. Therefore, Wang Ju made a prediction, but also a budget, if you grow crops and vegetables, not only the water in the area, because this water is still flowing slowly, often the depth of the water in the flood discharge area reaches five feet deep, but it is actually the silt that accumulates ten feet or twenty feet of deep water, so the silt accumulated for one year is basically enough, which can ensure the use of farming for several years or more than ten years. Later, the soil is lost, and then the embankment is broken and silted. But if you want to plant mulberry and fruit trees, I am afraid that it will not work, plant crops, harvest in a year, and when the soil is thin again, the yield is very low, and if it is drowned, it will be drowned. But who wants to drown these trees? So you might have to silt for two years, or even three years.

In the end, because no one has ever tried, Wang Ju does not dare to judge, so this year is mainly flood discharge, supplemented by experiments.

Because it is clearly written, there is no need for everyone to discuss it.

However, there is still a problem, the flood can be discharged, there must be a strong embankment behind it, and how to build this embankment is also a problem. In addition, there is saline-alkali land, which is also cultivated by some people, and there are also a few families, and how to resettle it is also a problem.

Therefore, Zhao Wei transferred Cheng Fang back to the capital to preside.

This is a pilot, and there is another reason, which Zhao Ji did not say for the time being, that is, the migration of forbidden soldiers.

The forbidden army is too bad, it is terrible, if there is no way, Zhao Ji has to endure it. If there is a plan to come out, Zhao Ji has to start. The migration of the forbidden army needs this silt field even more!

Cheng Fang received the appointment and was overjoyed.

Wang Ju is not good at disrupting his interest, if you don't do things, your old man can still be safe, as soon as you do things, there is no doctor above to cover you, waiting for the sorrow. Don't look at this as a eunuch, you really understand water conservancy.

"It's a pity," Wang Ju said in his heart. It's not that there are no talents, there are many talents, water conservancy, people's livelihood, military, economic, diplomatic, and scientific and technological (Shen Kuo), but how many people does Wang Anshi use?

The other is the authorization for Wang Ju.

It is impossible for him to serve as the Zhiyongxing Army, Zhao Ji dares to grant it, and Wang Ju does not dare to accept it.

But it was easier to authorize, so Wang Ju was given another edict, asking Wang Ju to sentence the Shaanxi officers and soldiers in the case of horses and horses, and act cheaply.

In the ancient edicts, it was a great right to act cheaply, that is, there was no need to go to any ministry, and he had the right to investigate the verdict, as well as issue relevant orders and arrange relevant measures.

This is also the most desired mandate from Wang Ju.

He first thanked the order, and then pondered, the horse case was easy to handle, and he investigated secretly, and he already had a lot of evidence. But we have to maximize the benefits of this case...... (To be continued)
