I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 820
This kind of misunderstanding, in the final analysis, is that Zhao Xi, the emperor, has had too much prestige these years.

After so many years in power, Zhao Xi can basically make a decision with one word in the current state.Moreover, most of the current cabinet is the former ministers of Qiandi, who absolutely obey Zhao Xi's decision.

Even Zhang Dun and Lu Huiqing have been deeply influenced by Zhao Xi's various concepts in these years, and to a certain extent regard Zhao Xi's words as Guigao.As for Wang Shao, it seems that he has a little bit of the idea that if he is a little rich, he will be more and more low-key.

The so-called discussion just now is actually more about Wang Anshi alone criticizing Su Song's suggestions... The cabinet really needs such ministers.

Only when Zhao Xi finished speaking did Wang Anshi understand that Su Song's statement was general.

"Official, do you have a plan for this year?"

Wang Anshi was really worried that the officials would act arbitrarily, regardless of the court's tax revenue, and blindly do things that cost people and money.

To elaborate on the past dynasties, all wise kings, after they have been in power for a period of time, have gained a certain prestige, and after the court can make a decision with one word, they will always do some great things, so as to leave a name for them through the ages.

This is true of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the far distance, and the same is true of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty in the near future. Even Tang Xuanzong, who was the source of the decline of the previous dynasty, worked hard to govern in his early years.

Therefore, Wang Anshi didn't mind being an admonishing minister to ensure that the prosperity of the Song Dynasty would not be short-lived.

"We need to take a look, the cabinet has a look, and I even intend to take a look on the ground, so that we can be targeted."

Zhao Xi really wanted to go out and have a look, and he said it at this time, just to test the cabinet's opinion on him leaving the palace.

"Why do the officials do it themselves? Chen and Shen Cunzhong's topographical survey is accurate, and they can completely determine the location of the floodway according to the sand table of the topography."

Su Song understands what the officials mean, and they just want to take a walk around the Yellow River Basin.He walked with Shen Kuo and Shen Cunzhong, it was not a desirable job.

It's not that the officials can't bear the pain, it's really unnecessary.

"Officials, just as Mr. Su Ge said, according to the topography of the sand table, the court can decide and the Ministry of Industry can implement it. Officials don't need to visit in person..."

"The management of the Yellow River is just a river, and the monarch in Bianliang is the foundation of the Song Dynasty. Officials must never give up the basics and chase the end."

"To inspect the Yellow River, you need to travel along the north of the Yellow River. Since the beginning of the dynasty, Tongguan can still be navigated. Entering the east of the river and Jingzhaofu, the Yellow River is steep and unsuitable for navigation. Such water and land transfers are changeable, and the followers of officials travel People, it is of no benefit to Yanhe County!"

It is short of directly saying that it is mobilizing teachers, mobilizing people, laboring people and wasting money.

This is not a private visit, this is a trip, and the emperor's travel has its own specific regulations.In Wang Anshi's view, he would rather the officials decide a few places to start construction at will than travel.

The construction of the so-called floodway is somewhat conducive to preventing floods in the Yellow River. Traveling by officials will not benefit the country except money and food.

"I don't plan to travel according to the emperor's rules. As for the sand table, I don't mean that the sand table cannot vividly express the topography. But how is the flow of the Yellow River? How is the amount of sediment carried? What is the seasonal water level change? What is the effect of flood discharge on the surrounding farmland? What kind of changes, etc., all require a comprehensive assessment.”

"All the ministers and workers also know that building water conservancy facilities for the Yellow River, whether it is a floodway or other facilities of the hub nature, is not a simple matter. Building any place may change its agriculture and mulberry."

"Secondly, what is the vegetation status in the upstream? How to change the vegetation status? Will it affect local shipping? Is the terrain structure suitable? Is there anyone in the court who can comprehensively evaluate these?"

"It's a merit or a demerit, because the imperial court's rules and regulations are inconvenient, and it is inevitable that there will be timidity in doing things."

"As for the government, the new cabinet has taken charge of the government. After more than half a year of running-in, you have entered a relatively stable and reasonable state of governance. There are no major affairs in the country now, and only this matter. My actions are the most important. Great timing..."

Zhao Xi said a lot of reasons. In fact, he himself may not understand them, but in this era, he is definitely a so-called comprehensive talent. This is the difference in knowledge.

To benefit the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, the way to control the Yellow River is to build reservoirs step by step to share the amount of sediment, but Zhao Xi does not think that such a thing can be accomplished in this era.

Zhao Xi is not sure how much Longyou, Huanzhou, and Linfu have changed in the past thousand years.According to later generations, the cause of soil erosion on the Loess Plateau also started from this dynasty.Because of the confrontation with the Northwest, the continuous battles, the need to station military camps, build ordnance, etc., the excessive logging has led to the deterioration of the ecology of the entire Loess Plateau.

In fact, Linfu, Huanzhou, and Yanyan, including Lanzhou, Yinxia, ​​and Jingzhaofu, were considered inland in the previous dynasty, and they could even be called rich places.Because of the reasons of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the wars in the north and west of Qinzhou, and the people's lives were devastated. In addition, the war between the dynasty and the party members really harmed the residents in this area, and it did change the ecology of this area.

"How do the officials travel?"

Everyone knows what kind of character the officials have.Wang Anshi wasn't a pedantic person in the first place, so he didn't bother with these anymore.

Since the official family does not follow the emperor's rules to travel, it is not to show the achievements of destroying Xixia, and not to waste money and money, so there is no need to forcefully oppose the official travel.

As for safety, the current Guochao can be said to be the real Haiyan Heqing.In the early years, the reports of those bandits everywhere were not seen at all... Also, the industries in various places were prosperous, and the servants of the outer dynasty became a sought-after commodity.As long as you have a lot of strength, you should not worry about life in the current state.

Of course, this is not to say that there are no bitter cold places in the country, at least the surrounding areas of the prefectures and counties are already thriving.

"Relevant yamen, a small number of officials, and a few guards are enough..."

Zhao Xi was about to spit, but Wang Anshi actually agreed!

Zhao Xi still needs to consider some things.Therefore, the prince was ordered to supervise the country. In addition to Su Song, Li Jie, Shen Kuo, Jia Xian, etc. were the accompanying officials, and Qin Tianjian, Dushuijian, and the Ministry of Industry selected relevant officials to accompany him.

At the same time, Zhao Xi ordered Gao Jingxian to return to the court to take charge of Bianliang's security and take charge of the Bianliang garrison.Moreover, Di Qing was granted a secret decree in case of unexpected events...

Wang Zhongzheng was ordered to stay behind, and Li Xian was transferred from the northwest to return to the court, and the main palace was peaceful.

These arrangements, not to mention the cabinet ministers, even the prince thinks it should be justified.

Zhao Xi didn't want to guard against anyone. If he didn't arrange it like this, the cabinet ministers who stayed behind might not be at ease.

The reality is like this, just like the private visits on Weibo back then, the courtiers always have other thoughts and ideas.The more defensive arrangements are made in this way, the more reliable the ministers will be.
