I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 821 The Purpose of Traveling

I can finally travel, no matter what the excuse is, whether it is my own strength, or the current situation of the court has been decided, or the cabinet really thinks that I am here to govern the Yellow River.

In short, Zhao Xi can travel now.

No one knows the real reason why Zhao Xi went out...~
After the Queen Mother passed away, Zhao Xi kept his filial piety, so naturally it was impossible to really watch in the mourning hall day and night.But Zhao Xi did just that.

It's not that he wants to show how filial he is, there's no way.

From the day the Queen Mother passed away, Zhao Xi dreamed of her original self and everything she had before every night.

He didn't recover until after the Empress Dowager's funeral.

In those days, as long as Zhao Xi left the Palace of Compassion and Peace, he would go back to the past when he fell asleep, his parents, wife and children...

But staying in Ciming Palace, one can sleep peacefully.

It has been almost 40 years since he came to this era. From the very beginning, Zhao Xi buried the original... Now that he has come to this era, he should be a person of this era, and he should play this role well.

This was decided by Zhao Xi himself when he woke up and knew his identity.

After 40 years, Zhao Xi has formatted everything in his memory, as if he was originally Zhao Xi of this era.

Even in the so-called government affairs, he tried his best to adapt to this era.If it weren't for the disparity in military power between the dynasties, and if it wasn't for Da Song being in a position where people often beat him up, he might not even have the most basic gunpowder.

History should have its own course...~This is Zhao Xi's will.

Even if he wants to change, including the change in the thinking of the gentry in this era, Zhao Xi will change some of the views of later generations.

However, he did not expect that during the days when the queen mother passed away, he could not get rid of the impression of his original self in his mind.

Everything became clearer.

Zhao Xi has been avoiding, trying not to go, or not to pass through the area where he originally lived.

These days, the thoughts of being satisfied with the rematch in his mind made Zhao Xi decide to take a trip to a familiar place in his mind by using the so-called governance of the Yellow River this time.

Zhao Xi knew that the market town he originally lived in must not have existed for a thousand years, or it could not be formed into a market town now.

Cangshan Town is an immigrant market town. It was in the 50s, because after the construction of the Sanmenxia Reservoir, people who were in the plains washed by the Weishui River responded to the call and moved there.

It didn't migrate very far, and it was still in the Weishui River Basin.

Because after the completion of the Sanmenxia Reservoir, the Yellow River silt backflowed, the banks of the Weihe River had to be built like Bianliang today, and dams were built, and the Weishui River became a hanging river...

Of course, this is what the original Zhao Xi heard from the old people.

Cangshan Town is actually still some distance away from Weishui River.

Ever since Zhao Xi decided to bury all his memories, he has been avoiding getting close to this land.

Even if it was his expedition to the west at the beginning, it was far away from Jingzhao Mansion to the west.

Moreover, the few times Zhao Xi went north, he avoided the waterway. He was afraid that he would be at the point where the Weishui enters the Yellow River, so he couldn't help but turn to take a look.

This time, they found some excuses and came here specially.

The official ships sailed northwest against the Yellow River, avoiding all cargo ships and passenger ships on the channel.

Although Zhao Xi did not travel under the rules of the emperor, but under the rules of the cabinet minister Su Song, it is also necessary for idlers to avoid them on this waterway.

"Is this also the case for your westward exploration?"

Zhao Xi felt uneasy, so he wanted to use small talk to resolve it.

Fortunately, Su Song, Li Jie and others have been familiar with each other for decades, and they have a good understanding of Zhao Xi's temperament, so they are not shocked by Zhao Xi's question.

If it was someone else, maybe it was time to kneel down and shout for forgiveness.

"How can it be. The ministers will not have military guards when they go out, but they will bring the guards of the workshop city, and the flag of the workshop city will be erected."

"The name of the workshop city has been useful in recent years, but it can also be given some preferential treatment by the local government. It is not necessary to stop the ship to avoid it, but it will also be given priority."

Su Song answered the words, speaking in a down-to-earth manner.I didn't explain anything to the officials. As for the so-called preferential treatment, I believe the officials can understand.

Those veterans who grew up with the officials knew that there was no need to deceive and manage anything.

"Officials, Elder Su Ge was not an elder at that time, even if he wanted to be treated like this, he couldn't do it..."

Shen Kuo is timid and cautious, and he has played with Su Song and the officials a lot these years, so he is not afraid to say a word at this time.

"Storage is meritorious to the imperial court, I remember. There have been many exploration tasks these years, and the workshop city cannot do without you, but it has worked hard to survive...~"

Zhao Xi couldn't remember whether the original Shen Kuo had achieved the step of being a husband.However, during his time in power, Shen Kuo's contribution really cannot be erased.

Whether it is the workshop city, exploring properties everywhere, or surveying the terrain, Shen Kuo has made great contributions.

However, from the point of view of Zhao Xi's contact with Shen Kuo, he felt that Shen Kuo was not suitable for governing politics.

Put Shen Kuo in the position of the deputy city lord of the workshop city...~The current deputy city lord of the workshop city is equivalent to the six ministers of the imperial court, and the city lord is second only to the cabinet.It is also worthy of his contribution.

Speaking of it, Shen Kuo is qualified to be the city lord, but this person has soft ears and is not suitable to be the chief official, so he was transferred to Su Ziyuan to steal his limelight.

Zhao Xi heard from Su Song that he was worried that Shen Kuo would complain, and also worried that Su Ziyuan would not be able to work well in the workshop city.

As a result, nothing unexpected happened. With Su Ziyuan's status as the uncle of the country and his ability to work in the local area for many years, combined with Shen Kuo's soft temper, the workshop city is still safe.

Of course, as a cabinet obsessed with science, Su Song has never been willing to leave the affairs of the workshop city.

At this time, when Shen Kuo intervened, Zhao Xi did not hesitate to give a few words of praise...~
"I'm just doing my duty, I don't dare to be praised by officials like this!"

Hearing these few words from the official, Shen Kuo's hair was brimming with refreshment, and Su Ziyuan took the city lord's displeasure away, leaving nothing behind.

"I heard that the eldest son of Cunzhong, Shen Chong, has grown up..."

Shen Kuo was a little ashamed by the official's words.It's just family ugliness, Xuxian's fierce wife can't tolerate the eldest son, but the eldest son is dull and not good at reading.

Shy of a shrewd wife, Shen Kuo didn't want to be criticized, and he didn't even ask for a gift from the official...~ I was really afraid that the family would be in trouble.

"Officials, ministers..."

"No need to say much... Shi Deyi, remember to remind me when you return to the court, let Shen Chong enter the martial arts hall. As for how, it depends on his fate..."

Zhao Xi already knew about Shen Kuo's fame, but he didn't know that he was still a strict wife.

If Su Song hadn't mentioned it occasionally, Zhao Xi would not have been interested in inquiring about the privacy of his ministers, and there would be no source of such information at all.

This time, the timing is right.

"Chen...~Thank you for your kindness!"

Shen Kuo was trembling and about to kneel down...~This is really touching.

Zhao Xi waved his hand, signaling Su Song to stop Shen Kuo.But he looked towards the river...

This terrain is already very familiar, this is the mouth of the Wei River into the Yellow River...~
I don't know if it's a dream or not, but when Zhao Xi saw this familiar terrain, he felt indescribable.
