"It's actually such a decree," said Quan Er's eldest son dissatisfied.$..

"No wonder Dalang said many times that the court did not look at its ability and achievements, but about seniority." Lu Ping said without consent.

"Don't say much." Wang Ju shouted.

It cannot be said that seniority is not good. Politics is indeed very complicated. Even if all intrigues are eliminated, the balance of interests in all aspects must be considered.

Of course, if you only look at qualifications and not at political achievements and achievements, it would definitely be wrong. But Han Qi's courage may not be enough to let a teenager take charge of the major policies, so he was given this mission.

Could it be that Wang Ju honestly told Han Qi that he could not treat me as a nineteen-year-old young man?

The court gave the order to take Yang Pan as the official envoy of Zheng Baiqu, Wang Ju as the deputy envoy, Cheng Fang as the chief supervisor, and Hou Ke as the magistrate of Jingyang. The four chariots that Wang Ju hoped for were successfully realized.

However, for this mission, the ministers were still quarreling.

So in order to balance, Han Qi turned Wang Ju from a commander to a deputy commander.

Yi is indeed Wang Ju is too young, so everyone is worried.

Second Yang Pan is a humble gentleman, in his forties. His virtues make everyone feel at ease, his age makes everyone feel at ease, his past political achievements are also good, and his abilities are also at ease.

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

However, Zhang Fangping suddenly asked: "Duke Han, is Wang Ju willing?"

Maybe decades later, everyone will not have any objection to Han Qi's order. With such a big project, wouldn't a mature official go down to preside over it, but a young boy who has only one year left to receive the crown ceremony?

Looking through history, there is no such thing as a result.

But what about the actual analysis?

Its origin is the music written by Zhang Yue and Wang Ju.

Of course, before the Battle of Dashun City came, the court's vision of Shaanxi was put into this battle. Although there were not many supplies allocated for support, the allocation of finances and the situation of people's beliefs and doubts also showed that the court attached great importance to it.

At that time, don’t think about any channels.

After the war, Han Qi took out the memorials of King Zhang and the others. Although Sima Guang and Peng Siyong were a little opposed, the opposition was not strong. In fact, what they opposed was Wang Ju, rather than Zheng Baiqu, Zheng Guoqu, Sanbaiqu, or the future Fengliqu itself.

Why? The grain in Shaanxi is so miserable. Once the Zhengbaiqu is rebuilt successfully, it will bring a large granary to Shaanxi, which is not considered a military plan. For the sake of the people, this granary also has a huge role.

Some ministers even didn't know that the country's financial difficulties had reached its extreme and the water and soil had deteriorated to its extreme. Instead, they believed that since the Han and Tang Dynasties could make good use of Zheng Guo Canal, why did the Song Dynasty, which had sufficient financial resources several times, could not do this well?

Why was the ancient Hanzhong richest in the world? Zheng State Canal!

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

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

However, Wang Ju cannot act as a regular envoy, so his rights are limited. Moreover, because of his qualifications, he has no right to make Yang Pan obey his opinions. This will infinitely increase the possibility of failure. Wang Ju bears great risks, but the court compresses his rights. How can Wang Ju be willing?

Peng Siyong said: "Can you follow the story of the battle in Qingzhou, Cai Ting is the magistrate and Wang Ju is the magistrate."

Zhang Fangping didn't say anything anymore. After all, this delegation was recognized by more than 90% of the ministers, and Wang Ju first noticed the battle in Dashun City. But how could the court allow Wang Ju to be the governor of Qingzhou? Therefore, Cai Ting was sent to Qingzhou. Moreover, Yang Pan was also the candidate recommended by Wang Ju to Han Qi. What else can I say?

When I was given the order to arrive at the inn, I had this conversation.

"Pack up our luggage and we'll leave immediately."

"Go to Shaanxi now?" asked Quan Er's eldest son.

Yang Pan hasn't left yet, why bother to be a deputy envoy?

"It's not going to Shaanxi, but to Chengdu Prefecture."

"Go to Chengdu?"

"Yes, if we get there quickly, we can arrive at Chengdu Prefecture before the Spring Festival."

Many officials went to Sichuan to work at a very slow speed. They went down the Grand Canal, then turned the river boat, arrived at the Three Gorges, and entered the Sichuan from the Gorges.

Not only did he go to Sichuan, but even other places, the speed was also very slow. The most famous one was that Su Dongpo was transferred from Huangzhou to Ruzhou. It is recorded that the journey to Ruzhou was long and the travel expenses were exhausted. In addition, the pain of losing his son, Su Dongpo wrote to the court, requesting not to go to Ruzhou for the time being and to live in Changzhou first.

This shows two problems. The first problem is money. Su Dongpo is not without money. His official position has always been low before, but he can't manage finances. He has money, eats, drinks, and has spent all the money. After the poetry case, he was demoted to Huangzhou and lost money. He gave his concubine to others and could not support this family. In addition, it shows that although Su Dongpo did not know how to manage finances, he was not greedy for officials. Otherwise, he would not be embarrassed if he was greedy.

The second problem is that Su Dongpo is unwilling to endure hardships. Is the journey from Huangzhou to Ruzhou really far? Huangzhou is Huanggang. Ruzhou is in the north of Nanyang. There is definitely no road from Huangzhou to Ruzhou. However, from Huangzhou, you can go to Anzhou, from Anzhou to Suizhou, Suizhou to Tangzhou, and Tangzhou can reach Ruzhou. This is the road from Pingjingnan, Hunan in the Song Dynasty, and it is also the road from Di Qing to Pingnan to lead the foreign cavalry south. Thousands of troops and food can be connected.

Okay, can't a family of cars and horses pass through? How far can it be from this road? It's not as far as Kaifeng to Chang'an? But how can you be happy when you are taking a backward car? Therefore, how can a family of people take a boat without going around in big circles? What a big circle, from Huangzhou to Runzhou, Runzhou to Grand Canal to Beijing, and then from Beijing to Ruzhou to Ruzhou. After such a big circle, they only save hundreds of miles from Tangzhou to Huangzhou.

But it may be another reason. Su Dongpo wanted to take a detour, and he could stay in the capital. Then he had many opportunities and even stayed in the capital. However, too many things happened on the road, and he saw that there were vacancy in Changzhou. Then he asked the court to let him stay in Changzhou.

In fact, he can endure hardships. Even if he reaches Bashu, Lu Yuqing temporarily gave him an important task and arrived in Chengdu from the capital in less than 20 days. Why did he go on a horse?

If you walk on the water, you can't even arrive for two months.

That's why Wang Jucai said this.

There are still sixteen or seventeen days left before the Spring Festival. If the group rushed quickly, it would be enough to reach Chengdu.

"But why do we go to Chengdu Prefecture?" Quan Er's eldest son was confused. Zheng Guoqu was in Shaanxi, not in Sichuan.

"Don't ask more."

The group hurriedly packed their luggage and left the capital.

…………

"Shuizhongba, Jiangdongwei, open silted fields, set up drainage areas, bind water to wash sand, and lead yellow into Ji?" Zhao Xu murmured.

In fact, what Tian Wang Ju said was just a rough idea. Why were the ministers surprised? It was nothing more, because what Wang Ju said could almost be the general outline of water conservancy in the entire Song Dynasty in the next few decades!

It is not that area, but the entire Song Dynasty. From south to north, from east to west!

Shen Kuo's article "Five Whirl" is quite famous. Why do some people oppose Wanchun Whirl? Because they put forward five points: First, the water surface that is twenty miles away is used as a dike. When the upstream floods rise, the destination of the lake surface is reduced by twenty miles. When the flood peaks are flooded, it is easy to cause flood disasters. This article is consistent with Wang Ju's repeated mention that the river must be kept unobstructed and a large number of deep-water lakes are used as flood storage areas. Secondly, Wanchun Whirl is close to Jingshan in the north, and the foothills are used as a dike. When the Yangtze River flows through the mountain gorge, it will flow directly to the east of Jingshan, causing disasters. Third, some people believe that there are dragons below Qinjia Whirlbar, so they break the dike many times. After the 40,000 Chunwei was abandoned, more than 100 families were harvested here to make a living. Once the lake was restored to form a dike, more than 100 households would be unemployed and resist. The southeast of the fifth Whirlbar is a large lake, and the embankment is constantly impacted by wind and waves, and it will be difficult to maintain its strength over time.

Shen Kuo refuted these five views one by one with the five plows.

Therefore, Shen Kuo's polder field five said that it has great limitations. It is limited to Wanchun polder field itself, rather than like Wang Ju, starting from Dongting Lake and ending at Taihu Lake. How many Jiangdong polder fields will be developed? Not to mention anything else, but Chaohu Lake to the Yangtze River, which is the Yuxi River area where Sun Cao was stalemate, is just a little larger, and the polder field area will reach more than one million mu in the future. Its area is only one percent of that of Jiangdong. But now, there are only dozens of pitiful small polder fields.

Shen Kuo may have some limitations at the time, and may have been afraid of causing greater controversy, so he only put it on Wanchunwei, and no one paid much attention. However, when Wang Ji brushed and painted the production of Wanchunwei, these big guys had to rent 36,000 hu of grain and 500 hu of rice in that year. This was just renting grain. The actual income may be multiplied by ten, which means that the grain yield in Wanchunwei increased by more than 300,000 hu, and ten hu of hu, because the rice is heavier, one hu is equivalent to 1.3 to 1.4 shi, which means that the actual grain income exceeded 400,000 shi! The average yield per mu of high and low weight reached more than 3 shi!

There is also the cost. The total cost of building this dike is only 30,000 hu of millet. The millet in the south of the Yangtze River is really not worth much, so the millet is probably less than 3,000 guan. There is another 40,000 guan, which is 400 guan.

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

Secondly, the local people have a large population and are crowded with few land. When they heard about the construction of Wanchunwei, the people supported them. The rich contributed money and strong efforts. Therefore, they quickly gathered more than 14,000 free-for-money men within ten days. They burned weeds in five days. In forty days, they built a large dike that was six meters wide, one meter or two feet high, and eighty-four miles long, and worth tens of thousands of mulberry trees. They spent another forty days to plan the fertile fields in the dike and repaired the five water gates.

This is Jiangdong, and Shaanxi cannot have this condition.

But does not mean that most Jiangdong areas can learn Wanchunwei?

Isn’t a Wanchunwei worth a few thousand guan? Is ten Wanchunwei only tens of thousands of guan? Ten Wanchunwei can get four million stones of grain! But the area of ​​Jiangdong is so large, not to mention ten, even a hundred similar pallets can afford to build. One hundred Wanchunwei... no one dares to think about it.

Therefore, Wang Ju enlarged Jiangdongwei from Wanchunwei to the entire Jiangdong. The ministers looked at the various reports and data of Wanchunwei, which immediately formed a huge impact.

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

After the Song Dynasty, I would not do anything. As long as I do what Wang Ju said, I would not have to worry about food for a hundred years.

Besides, there is also this strategy to manage the river.

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

"It's probably not. Shen Kuo is in the capital. If you have heard of it, Wang Ju would have asked him to come out to help him this time. However, I think that although I have never heard of the Shen brothers and Wan Chunwei, I think I have heard similar remarks. However, after it was spread to Shaanxi, things went wrong, and Wang Ju didn't believe it. However, this inspired him." Han Wei said.

“This is not great either.”

"Yes, Mr. Han asked, have you been to Jiangnan. Wang Ju said no. Mr. Han asked again, how did you know? Wang Ju said, "The lower official is in Huachi County and sees many maps and compares the terrain. How can you not know? Mr. Han can't see it? Mr. Han and his ministers were speechless for a long time."
