Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At this time, the imperial court wanted to regain Pan Jixun's love, so naturally it would not be anything else.  It must have been because the Yellow River burst its banks and water transportation was cut off, so he was asked to control the water.

    But if he can cure the water, the canal will be restored.  How can you sing Mr. Zhao's play?

    Zheng Ruozeng couldn't help but whispered: "Returning from love is against human ethics, Zhongcheng can refuse it."

    "Isn't it contrary to human ethics to ignore the displacement of tens or millions of people?" Pan Jixun raised his head and drank a glass of wine and said: "What's more, I have been in the winter of Dingyou for the 45th year of Jiajing, and I have just surrendered this month."

    "However, Zhongcheng is also from Jiangnan." Wu Chengen also advised: "Let's not talk about other places. Let's just say that the people in Huzhou pay four or five times the freight every year, which is four or five times that of Zhengfu. The people in Jiangnan are all suffering from water transportation. Zhongcheng  The Prime Minister only sees the suffering of millions of Jianghuai people, but not the long-term suffering of the 20 million Jiangnan people?"

    Pan Jixun fell into silence, and then laughed at himself.

    After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Zhao Hao.

    "Boy, what do you think?"

    Mr. Zhao leaned lazily on the couch and said with a nonchalant smile: "Zhong Cheng can do whatever he wants, I won't put any pressure on you."

    "Seriously?" Pan Jixun narrowed his eyes at him.

    "More real than real gold." Zhao Hao sat upright with his hands on his knees and nodded.  He laughed loudly and said: "Zhongcheng once said that everyone must do their duty, so you should do it according to your duty."

    "Okay!" Pan Jixun nodded with relief, took a deep look at Zhao Hao, and suddenly said quietly: "You don't have to worry too much, the canal will be closed for a few years."

    After saying that, he bowed his hands to everyone, turned around and walked out.

    "How about we set off together tomorrow?" Mr. Zhao said behind him.

    "No, I will be laughed at if I come to Beijing like this." Pan Jixun said calmly without looking back: "I will take the canal."

    ¡°Obviously, he is going to Huanghuai for an on-the-spot investigation.

    "Zhongcheng, wait a minute." Mr. Zhao thought of something, jumped off the bed, picked up an exquisite food box and chased after him.

    "New product, try it slowly on the road, remember to send me a review."

    "That's pretty much it." Pan Jixun finally had a smile on his face and put away the food box as if it were a treasure.

    "Zhongcheng, please pay attention to safety." Mr. Zhao warned.

    "Nagging." Pan Jixun waved his hand and walked away without looking back.

    ??~~

    When Zhao Hao returned, Zheng Ruozeng sighed: "Master, this is not the time for you to show your magnanimity"

    "Don't worry, Mr. Kaiyang, I have my own plans." Zhao Hao nodded, sat back on the Arhat bed, and said with a smile: "It's not that easy to control the river."

    "Hahaha." Xu Wencheng also laughed loudly, pointed at Zheng Ruozeng with his chopsticks and said: "You old Zheng just can't change this problem of worrying. This kid is smarter than a monkey when he is covered with hair. Do you think he is a good person?"  Is that so? He knew full well that Lao Pan¡¯s journey was full of troubles and his great ambitions were difficult to realize. He was just selling a favor to Lao Pan.¡±

    "Oh." Zheng Ruozeng was surprised when he heard this and asked, "Why did you say this?"

    Wu Chengen also looked at Zhao Hao inquiringly.

    "At first, the Yellow River, Huaihe River, and canals became a mess. The successive water control officials in the imperial court only cared about protecting canal transportation and did not care about the situation of the Huanghuai River. Now the spring floods can break the banks, which shows how fragile the waters of the Yangtze and Huaihe River have become. Even if they are completely  According to Pan Zhongcheng's instructions, if the river construction is done by the cement farmers, it will not succeed for three to five years."

    "Secondly, at the end of last year, Lei Butang claimed that he was ill and had to take up his official position. Zhu Butang returned to the capital and was appointed as Grand Sikong, supervising river canals." Zhao Hao picked up the teacup, gently skimmed off the foam with the cup lid and said, "Mr. Kaiyang should also  Have you heard the stories about Zhu Butang and Pan Zhongcheng?"

    "Oh, how could I forget this?" Zheng Ruozeng slapped his forehead and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Then Pan Zhongcheng really needs to bring more Betel Nut Shunqi Pills with him on this trip."

    Pan Jixun was the first Prime Minister of Hedao in the 44th year of Jiajing reign.  At that time, the imperial court may have thought that he was a little too young, so he was only ordered to assist Zhu Heng, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, in governing Huang.

    Both of them are rare good officials with integrity and courage to do their jobs, but they are both too stubborn and stubborn, and a fierce conflict soon broke out.

    Pan Jixun wanted to restore the old course of the Yellow River once and for all.

    Zhu Heng believed that instead of spending millions of silver taels and driving hundreds of thousands of laborers to dredge the river and restore its old path amidst the raging waves, it would be better to build embankments on the south bank of the Yellow River to prevent the Yellow River from flowing south again.  At the same time, on the north bank of the Yellow River, an area hundreds of miles north of Peixian County was set aside to form a natural flood detention area to ensure the smooth flow of water transportation.

    Zhu Heng is an old senior, with a higher official rank and prestige than Pan Jixun. In the endSo he adopted his plan.  Although the water transport of the year was saved, Pan Jixun was heartbroken. Shangshu directly denounced the move of "diverting water on the south bank and building embankments on the north bank" as nothing more than a perfunctory and perfunctory move.

    Although water transportation can be temporarily protected, it will only make the Huanghuai river channel more fragile, and it will be repaired and repaired every year until it is hopeless.  The cost and loss caused will be several times that of restoring the old path!

    At that time, Zhu Heng was enjoying the praise from the court, but suddenly his deputy was stabbed in the back like this, and he felt that he could not get off the stage.  So he hated Pan Jixun deeply, and immediately ordered people to impeach him for his great achievements, and for arbitrarily corporally punishing civilians when he was supervising the river.

    Fortunately, or rather unfortunately, Pan's mother died suddenly, and Pan Ji and Ding You returned home to escape this incident.

    ??~~

    Now, Zhu Heng has just returned to the Ministry of Industry, and Lao Pan has been arrested and returned to Beijing. It's really like enemies who don't get together.

    "Do you think it's enough for them to go up against each other?" Fatty Xu leaned back in his chair, put his feet on the armrests of his wife's chair, adjusted himself to a comfortable position and said:

    "There is also the current governor of the river, Weng Dali. He also disagrees with Zhu Zhenshan and has been clamoring to open the Ba River. When these three water gods get together, they will be done with just spraying. What else is there to do?"

    "Whose fucking arrangement is this?" Wu Cheng'en said, dumbfounded for a while: "River management, Huaihe River management and canal management are all mixed together, which is extremely complicated. It is even more impossible to have multiple political leaders."

    "Who else could it be? Li Chunfang." Xu Wei looked down upon the current chief minister of the cabinet in every possible way.  He once served as a guest at the other party's house, but ended up having a bad time.

    "This coward doesn't dare to take any responsibility. Thinks that by bringing together the masters of river management, the river can be cured? He doesn't even understand why three monks have no water to eat!"

    "At least, he has no responsibility for himself." In the past few months, Mr. Zhao has mastered a lot of useless officialdom knowledge under his grandfather's careful instruction.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯ve sent all the capable people here, what else do you want from me.¡± Zheng Ruozeng sneered, completely relieved and returned to his own business.

    "Sir, I would like to set off with you tomorrow."

    "Oh?" Zhao Hao felt slightly confused: "It's enough to have two young masters traveling with us. The sea is bumpy, and Mr. Kaiyang is not in good health."

    He remembered that Zheng Ruozeng didn't seem to live for a few years, so how could he dare to take this risk.

    "Oh, sir, don't worry, it's only a ten-day voyage. Dean Wan has been recuperating me for half a year. The old age has gone away, and my body and bones are much stronger than in previous years." Zheng Ruozeng said hurriedly: "There are many things, which are from "Marine Transport"  If there is nothing recorded in the "Illustrations", I have to accompany you personally and tell you everything I know."

    Zheng Ruozeng's old eyes shone with determination, and he said slowly: "I can't go to sea again in this life, and I will die with my eyes closed."

    Zhao Hao really couldn¡¯t resist Zheng Ruozeng, so he had no choice but to agree.
