Originally, their troop transport fleet of 2000 people was already huge, and entering this narrow and busy Bianhe River...you can imagine what it will be like.

To Zhao Xi, if he wanted to do something to Guochao, there was really no need to do anything, all he needed was a team with the ability and number of guards.

You don't even need to do too much, you just need to fight guerrillas for three to five months during the busiest season of water transportation.

The Bianhe River is opened in March every year, letting in the abundant water of the Yellow River, and at the same time bringing in the unique sediment of the Yellow River.

Therefore, every dry season, Guochao had to spend a lot of material and financial resources to dredge the Bianhe River.Repeatedly, over the years.

The entire Bianliang City is truly hanging by a thread.

Zhao Xi couldn't figure it out, those elites in the court really weren't worried?

This is the country's water transportation. Zhao Xi didn't go into details too much, and he has been full of lawsuits along the way.

Not to mention other things, just talk about the transportation problem of Dongchuan Copper Mine after the Bianhe River was shut down during the dry season... This is a problem that must be solved before the copper mine is mined.

Chapter 188 Common and Non-Common World (First update of fifth update)

No matter what mood he was in, the boat still brought Zhao Xi to Bianliang.

It is said that being close to the hometown is timid, but Zhao Xi does not have it, not at all.

Along the way, all that fills his heart is worry.

You can't bury your ancestors, but Zhao Xi really has some criticisms in his heart.I heard that Taizu had intended to move the capital at the beginning, and because Chang'an City was abolished, he considered Luoyang...

It's a pity that Taizong, that is, his authentic ancestor, put the sentence "virtue is not in danger" on hold.

Leaving a pile of sloppy things to make the children and grandchildren worry.

Bianliang City is known as the capital of four waters, but now except for the Bian River, the other three waterways are blocked.

The Jinshui River has been reduced to a route dedicated to transporting timber. The grain transported by Guangjihe is mostly variegated millet beans, which are horse feed for the herdsmen, while the grain transported by the Huimin River is not enough for the state capitals along the route except for consumption. rations.

Millions of soldiers and civilians rely on this Bianhe River!

Zhao Xi was worried all the way, but the court was already arguing about his duties.

Zhao Xi traveled by water, so it is said that he should have arrived in Bianliang earlier than Zhang Fangping's memorial.Unable to hold back, he intentionally procrastinated... He really wanted to see the water transportation that the country and court depended on for survival.

As a result, because of his duties, the court started another debate.

There is no problem with the military supervision, and there is no problem with minting coins.Just as Zhang Fangping expected, no one would be ashamed to argue with the performance of the guard battalion marching south and the copper mine for the country.

This is the water transport and the market, as well as the iron supervisor.Everyone in the court wants to improve their sense of presence. From the functions that His Royal Highness should have, to the current system operation of the court, and the laws of the ancestors, etc., each has his own position.

In fact, it is fundamentally a matter of rights and interests.

In recent years, it should be said that it has been several years. The number of candidates admitted to Jinshi in the Guochao Dynasty is mostly from the south.

And Guochao's yamen settings in water transportation, including the appointment of officials, also favored southerners.

Originally, water transportation started from Jianghuai, and Jingchu, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and even Guangdong and Guangxi were the basics of the entire water transportation.

And the embankment department was set up at the ferry terminals along the way, and even the entire water transportation was mostly handled by southerners.

And it should be.The so-called south boat and north horse are born and caused by the environment.

This is also doomed that the water transportation of the country is inseparable from the southern officials of the court, and it is unclear.

As for the copper mine... I haven't seen it yet, it's been a long time since the water transport.

When it comes to the discussion field, it will be even more chaotic.Not only the shipping department of Quanzhou, Mingzhou, and Guangzhou, but also the embankment department of water transportation, including all border cities, are open to question.

The tricks here are not just one or two, three or five or border guards get involved, and almost all the court has a share.

If His Highness the Crown Prince finds out about these, it is almost equivalent to cutting off all sources of income.

As for the iron supervisor, the largest iron production base of Guochao is in Xuzhou, and without exception, it has something to do with water transportation...

Therefore, Zhao Xi's first news after returning to the court was... about his mission, it couldn't be done.

"Your Highness, the Shipping Envoy's yamen is in charge of the water transportation, and they have stored a huge amount of money and food. They have never done a clean-up. This is one. The officials used for the water transportation are all those who were not selected by the government. They are confused and chaotic. This is the second."

"Over the years, the water transportation, the officials, the officials, and the soldiers have worked together to embezzle the water outline, and even sank the boat to wipe out the traces. This is the third. The water transportation yamen, since the dispatch of the envoys, all come from aristocratic families along the way, and there are many families in the imperial court. , this is four."

"As for the trading market and the iron supervisor, extending from the water transportation, the trading market along the way, apart from buying and selling grain, the first traded goods are iron ore and pig iron..."

Lu Gongzhu is also a southerner, but since his father was an official, he grew up in Bianliang.Although there are people involved in water transport activities among the clan relatives, they are considered distant relatives.

After returning to Bianliang, Lu Gong wrote about the duties of His Highness the Prince, and communicated with his elder brother, and he had these words.

Fortunately, Mr. Lu finally told him from the bottom of his heart, otherwise Zhao Xi would have to consider changing the head of the guard battalion.

Han Zhen is a native of Hebei. After Jinshi, he did not have many local transfers. He has no contact with water transportation and the management of state capitals along the way.

He doesn't understand, but he has an elder brother who is already relatively familiar with Guochao... Han Jiang.

When he got home, his elder brother had already sent someone to wait.After hearing all the tricks his elder brother said, he asked Cao's family to deliver a letter to the East Palace overnight, stating the key points in detail.

Sigh, this is His Royal Highness, this is the royal family... I am afraid that the old man who is in the deep palace doesn't know this at all, right?

Zhao Xi didn't plan to touch anyone's cheese, cut off someone's wealth, or lift up someone's ancestral tablet, at least he didn't have this idea yet.

Because in his concept, the world has never been ruled by one family, even in this era, known as Zhao Song, it is not a world ruled by one family.The world has always belonged to all people in the world.

It's just that when governing and sharing the world, there are classes and identities endowed by society, or in other words, different people have different responsibilities and enjoy different rights and interests in the same world.

Therefore, since he was a child, what he has done is to find another way, find another way out, and unite the majority as much as possible.

I thought that with the expansion of eating when he was a child, the floor mats of Guangnan daily necessities, and the immeasurable cake of Dongchuan, he should have a certain amount of confidence.

What's more, there is the strength demonstrated by the Nanzheng Guard Battalion this time, as well as his own status as the heir to the Datong.

With all these elements gathered, he thought he could participate in it, and participate in the interest game of the country.

Didn't expect it to be like this!

Also, the royal family has always been an outsider in the game of interests, and it may be more appropriate to say that they are referees.

The rhetoric that the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats share the world may be agreed by both the scholar-bureaucrats and the royal family, but it is used when necessary.

For example, in the copper mine, everyone accepted the fact of communism. Even if Zhao Xi had any business, everyone could still accept the fact of communism.

But if the royal family wants to share the benefits they already have and have enjoyed for a long time... sorry, that won't work.

The key point here is: to a certain extent, under certain circumstances, the world is still the world of the Zhao family, the world of the royal family, and the future will be his world.
