Raid

Chapter 76 Punishing the Heart
Mentioning this, Rong Zhi's face became stiff for a moment.Strengthening the embankment, someone did mention this matter in the court a few days ago.

But as soon as this matter was brought up, the people from the household department were the first to jump out and cry for poverty.This is still small, after all, people from the Ministry of Household Affairs come out to cry for poverty when they encounter problems, and it seems that it has become a practice for them to cry for poverty.Anyway, in the end, even if they don't want to, the money will be paid when it should be paid.

But the problem lies in the candidate for the embankment repair. Someone wrote a letter suggesting that the Minister of the Ministry of Industry should go in person.However, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry believed that he was too old to travel around.

Then the courtiers quarreled again. Logically speaking, the minister of the Ministry of Industry could not go, and the Ministry of Industry still had a servant, so there was no way they could not pick someone out.

However, the two ministers of the Ministry of Industry, one is too young to convince the public, and the other is a person in charge of the party. Can't convince the crowd.

If any one of the two is asked to go, it will not be able to handle this matter, but if two are asked to go together, who should take the lead?When it comes to big things, someone always needs to make up their minds.

The Taifu's people are busy with the imperial examinations, and they can't spare any extra people right now.This matter was quarreled in the court for several days, but no result was reached.

Seeing that July is approaching, if they don't send people to reinforce the embankment, when the Lijiang River breaks the embankment, countless people will be displaced.

Rong Zhi looked reluctant, "The court has this intention, but the candidate has not been finalized. It will probably take a few days."

"It will take a few more days--" Li Shengxi frowned slightly, with worry appearing on her face, she couldn't help but said: "I'm afraid there will be a lot of delay, if it continues, even if there is money, it will be hard to strengthen."

After all, it’s not that the money can be started as soon as it’s gone, and if it’s peeled off layer by layer, how much money can be left?What's more, there are still things to do.

"I have a lot of talents, can't I pick someone out?" Li Shengxi was full of doubts, his charming eyes were full of puzzlement, but the words he said were extremely ironic.

There are so many talented people here, but they are just whitewashing the peace and using it to deceive the common people.

Take this matter as an example, those who are capable and qualified don't want to go-don't talk about old age.No matter how old the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was in the Northern Qi Dynasty, he was no older than Meng Songyan. Mr. Meng could travel around a lot, but how could the Minister of the Ministry of Industry not?
It's just because the minister of the Ministry of Industry is old and sophisticated, and he doesn't want to offend others, and he doesn't want to mess things up in his own hands.You must know that every time a river embankment is built, many officials will put their ideas on money. If one fails, it will either offend people or cause bad things.In addition, it was a long way to go to Lijiang, the road was busy, the road was not peaceful, and bandits were rampant, so the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was unwilling to go.

As for the remaining few, the young ones are hard to convince.The age is right, the ability is not enough.Even if all three conditions are met, he may be a corrupt person.

The Northern Dynasty is so big, but when one or two things happen, no one can come out.Taifu Meng can go to Wangjing in person, but he left the central government, and the three provinces and six ministries will work together, so who should make the decision?
Li Shengxi's seemingly ignorant and incomprehensible words fell into the ears of Rong Zhi's people, but they were like sharp knives, but he had to continue to whitewash the peace for the court, saying something that he didn't even believe, "The court does things by itself." There are considerations. Reinforcing the river embankment is not a trivial matter, and it is reasonable to have a lot of consideration, so don't worry about it, San Niangzi."

"Although the concubine is a woman, I also know that there is a saying called 'things should not be delayed'. Many brothers under the concubine have relatives on both sides of the Li River. It is not known whether they can wait until the court considers it. I don't know if it is Li. The water in the river will not be able to flood Wangjing, so the officials in Beijing can make every effort to think about it. If it is imminent, it should be done soon..."

Speaking of this, Li Shengxi's face suddenly paled, as if realizing that what she said were some "rebellious" words, she looked at Rong Zhi anxiously and apprehensively, "The concubine made a mistake, and I hope Lang Junnian is just a concubine." A deep boudoir woman, ignorant and ignorant, don't blame my concubine for saying this."

"San Niangzi doesn't have to be like this." Rong Zhi reluctantly said, his complexion was not very good, not because he was angry with Li Sheng's words.

It's because some time ago, when Gu Lingxu traveled thousands of miles to Wangjing to write a book, when he mentioned the matter of building the embankment, what he said was very similar to what Liang Yin said.

In particular, the phrase "The water in the Lijiang River will not flood Wangjing" is exactly the same.

At that time, His Majesty's face changed drastically, but he still restrained his emotions.However, many courtiers, after hearing Gu Lingxu's words, did not think about it. Instead, they wrote letters to impeach Gu Lingxu, bluntly saying that he was "crazy and domineering, and there is no courtesy for a minister".

Some people spoke for Gu Lingxu, but they were refuted by the people in charge of the party, and several direct ministers were even demoted because of this.

Gu Lingxu was indeed rude, but what he said was not unreasonable. What Liang Yin said now, it can be seen that this was not the thinking of one or two people.

I'm afraid that most of the people on the north bank of the Li River think so.

"The lady's words are reasonable, but it's better not to mention them in front of others lightly." Rong Zhi pointed out.

Li Shengxi only thought it was very interesting to see his appearance of comforting others before he calmed down.

Naturally, she and Gu Lingxu didn't have such a good understanding, and they could say exactly the same words by chance, but the incident about Gu Lingxu was quite a commotion, and rumors spread inside and outside the court, although it would not reach the people, but She could easily find out about it.

Of course, she wouldn't just say these words to Rong Zhi.She had already ordered Wu Yang to let the people in the southwest know what Gu Lingxu said.

For the people in the Southwest, the prestige of the Marquis of Xiangcheng was greater than that of the imperial court, and Gu Lingxu's words were more than enough to make Northern Qi lose popular support.

The survival of a country sometimes depends not on foreign enemies, but more on the support of the people.

When Rong Zhi was arguing with Zhan Qirui in Xishi that day, he said that he should pay more attention to the people's livelihood, and Rong Zhi himself is very clear about the people's conditions.But this was not enough, she wanted to dig out the sores and rotten flesh under Bei Qi's splendor over and over again, not only for Rong Zhi, but also for Bei Qi.

"Understood, thank you sir for your reminder." Li Shengxi seemed to be in a lingering fear, but the worry on his face remained unchanged, and he didn't know whether it was because of his own slip of the tongue just now, or the fact that the court hadn't selected someone for a long time.

Rong Zhi forced a smile, and it took a lot of effort to suppress the gloom in his heart. He looked at the beautiful scenery of the mountain, and continued: "It will take some time for the food to be moved to the mountain. Besides, it is still early, why not go for a walk in the mountain. It can not only send out hard thinking, but also enjoy the beautiful scenery in the mountains, and save you from sitting for a long time."

Li Shengxi nodded, and said: "Since that's the case, my concubine asked Liu Jin to help."

There was no one knowing what kind of situation was waiting for her in the mountains, and keeping Liu Jin outside, not only in case Liu Jin was in danger, but also as a backup at critical moments.

Rong Zhi hastily declined and said: "Rong Mou hosted a banquet, how can I bother my wife?"

Li Sheng shook his head, "There's no need to bother. Speaking of it, it's just a matter of raising your hand to stay with the lord in the concubine's body, but the husband in the concubine's body is a life-saving grace. If you want to hold a banquet, it should be the concubine's body to host the banquet." That's right, it is also my fault to ask the Lord to spend money now, but I just asked the people under my hand to help. Why should the Lord be polite?"

　Li Shengxi: Let me see who broke the defense.
