Please, let me be a fool

Moreover, once the canal is opened, it will save a lot of time from north to south, so that the imperial court's control over the south will also be strengthened a lot.

In other words, both politically and economically, there are great benefits.

Thinking about it now, the Grand Canal seems to require a lot of manpower and material resources.

But in the long run.

It is definitely a big project that benefits the country and the people.

Sure enough, His Majesty is still His Majesty, to think of such an astonishing feat...

Especially to defy all opinions and start directly, it is absolutely magnificent.

Throughout the dynasties, it is extremely rare.

Especially when I heard that I was going to pay wages for the corvee, I was a little shocked.

But soon realized that this is His Majesty's kindness to the world.

Especially now.

Just after the farming period, most of the people are at home with nothing to do.

And these two major projects can take advantage of this opportunity to increase more income for the common people.

So at this moment.

Zhao Lingying agreed with this decision very much, and couldn't help but said immediately: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, once the North and South Grand Canals are connected, it will surely be a blessing for generations to come."

Hearing this, Wei Yunyi couldn't help but be a little surprised, because it was seen by ordinary people.

He would never accept it anyway, and it would definitely bring down the court.

Just look at the reactions of those cabinet masters.

But now it seems.

Concubine Ying seems to have the same vision...

Of course, these are not important for the time being.

So he thought for a while, and continued: "Okay, let's draw up the decree first."

Zhao Lingying didn't hesitate, and started to write directly.

She didn't know Cheng Rui from Yushitai, but from the few times he participated in the performance of Sun Kejian, she knew that he was a decent person, and it was definitely the best choice for him to be the supervisor of the censor.

As for the Supervisor Zhang Yingxing, this is the first time I have heard of it.

But since it was jointly recommended by Taifu and Song Gongwen, there should be no problem.

And after the decree was drawn up, Wei Yunyi felt relieved.

As for the others, he didn't bother.

After chatting with Concubine Ying for a while, he left directly.

As for the purpose, it is naturally Dan Fang.

At the same time, tell Wang Jin to issue an edict, and then urge him about the little celestial master of Longhu Mountain.

Now he urgently needs to improve his strength, and the refining of Dahuan Dan is quite complicated.

Especially when the martial arts cultivation base is improved later.

The assistance of pills is even more needed.

Although Wei Yunyi is sure that as long as the two projects of the Grand Canal and Weizhi Road are moved, the luck will inevitably decline, but he still feels that he needs to make two preparations.

...

In the east of the capital city, the house of Song Dynasty.

Zhang Yingxing was shocked when he heard that he was appointed as the supervisor and started to build the Grand Canal and Wei Zhidao.

His face was full of disbelief, as if he didn't believe it at all, and couldn't help but said: "Brother Gongwen, is it true at this time, His Majesty really appointed me as the supervisor?"

Previously, Zhang Yingxing wanted to be an official, not only to display his talents, but also to prove himself in front of his uncle.

But in his heart, he felt that if he wanted to achieve that step, he would have to go through many ups and downs.

But he didn't care, because he was wandering outside these years.

Already trained a tough heart.

therefore.

Zhang Yingxing thought that he could afford to wait and was already prepared.

But today, Song Gongwen actually brought the news of His Majesty directly.

I want to make myself a supervising envoy and a minister of the Ministry of labor.

Although only temporarily.

But after hearing this sentence, he still couldn't help being shocked, it was too fast.

"This is what His Majesty said personally, how can it be false?" Song Gongwen frowned, and then said: "Don't worry, this was decided at the imperial meeting, and even the teacher knows it, so you can go to the Ministry of Industry and take up your post with peace of mind. .”

Having said that, I also understand the other party's mood.

No fame, no reputation whatsoever.

Just be an official like this.

It is unbelievable for anyone to be the Minister of the Ministry of Labor.

But Song Gongwen thought that Sun Kejian was not like this before, huh?

His Majesty's decision is so different.

Even if no one understands.

But it must be the wisest.

"Uncle also knows?" Hearing this, Zhang Yingxing was stunned, then fell silent for a while, and then said: "Didn't uncle object when you recommended me?"

In his eyes, that uncle has always felt that he is not up to date, playing with things all day long.

So definitely something to say.

And the other party is the current imperial tutor and the chief assistant of the cabinet.

The weight of any sentence is very heavy, if you speak.

His Majesty will definitely consider it today.

"Teacher, he also supports you."

Song Gongwen continued: "Brother Ying Xing, I told you before that the teacher cared about you. Even though I felt that you didn't like reading sage books and was angry with you, I still chose to support you in the end."

"After all, you are the only family member of the teacher. Of course, there is also the meaning of letting you try."

Speaking of this, he smiled softly and continued: "Didn't you always want to be an official? Now His Majesty has agreed to entrust this important task to you. Next, you have to do it well."

"This is a heavy burden, but the national policy set by His Majesty himself cannot be sloppy in any case."

"If it is not the case, more than a dozen prefectures and millions of people will be implicated!"

In fact, this time, Song Gongwen recommended Zhang Yingxing.

If something goes wrong with it.

He was the first to be unlucky.

But Song Gongwen didn't care much about this.

What he really cares about is how many people will suffer if there is a problem with the Grand Canal project.

For a long time, the repair of water conservancy has been the most important thing for every court, because it concerns millions of people.

The Grand Canal connects dozens of rivers, and around these rivers, there are not only hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land, but also millions of people.

Whenever there are some minor problems in the process, it is a major event for the court and the Great Wei.

That's why he reminded the other party at this time that he needs to be careful.

in fact.

It was also decided in Song Gongwen's mind.

In case you find your friend, you don't know about it.

At that time, we must report to His Majesty and remove the other party from the post of supervisor.

It's okay to be an official, but if you want to pay the price of countless people, you can't allow it anyway.

Zhang Yingxing naturally understood Song Gongwen's meaning, so he took a deep breath and said seriously: "Brother Gongwen, don't worry, since His Majesty gave me such an opportunity, I will definitely do well, and I will not let Your Majesty, you and uncle Disappointed."

"I will absolutely supervise the creation of a canal that can bless the world and the common people, and do my best for my great Wei!"

For the Grand Canal, it is not too difficult to build a straight road.

As long as it is durable and conforms to His Majesty's wishes, it will be fine.

So he is very clear.

Which of these two projects is the key.

"With your words, I'm relieved." Song Gongwen nodded, and then continued: "But you are amazing, you think of things like canals with Your Majesty."

This sentence is true. In his eyes, digging the Grand Canal is very good, benefiting the country and the people.

But it is not something ordinary people can think of.

Your majesty is wise and mighty.

It is normal in his eyes to have such a forward vision.

And this friend, who has traveled all over the sea and mountains of the Great Wei, made this suggestion and it was expected.

The problem is that everything is thought of now, and at the same time...

"Don't talk about you, in fact, I didn't think of it either."

Zhang Yingxing thought for a while, and said: "According to what you said before, Your Majesty is a wise king through the ages, and although the Grand Canal is good, it will waste people's money for a long time, even if Your Majesty knew it, he would not bring it up so soon, would he? "

"Even if I want to raise it, I will follow my uncle's advice and divide it into several steps."

He also heard from Song Gongwen about today's imperial meeting.

Zhang Yingxing also admitted that the Grand Canal wastes money and people.

After all, it is from north to south.

The distance is more than 2000 miles, and it takes a lot of national power to support it.

Today, although the imperial court is not considered eventful, reforms are being implemented in the south of the Yangtze River, and wars are going on in the north.

It stands to reason that His Majesty should choose to proceed safely.

Just like my uncle's suggestion.

Divide into several sections, and then dig slowly.

In this way, it can not only consume national power, but also maintain the stability of the court.

But that His Majesty chose not to do so.

After Song Gongwen heard his doubts, he immediately became indifferent, and continued: "Your Majesty is a man of great courage. Even if he knows the road ahead is difficult, he will not choose to back down."

"Now you can be regarded as an official of the imperial court. You will understand what I said in the future."

"All in all, as ministers, it is definitely a lifetime luck for us to be able to assist such a monarch!"

As soon as this word comes out.

Zhang Yingxing next to him was moved for a while.

In the past few days, I have been listening to the other party praising His Majesty the current emperor, and now I hear this again, how can I not feel fluctuated.

If he was just an idler before the change, he could not care about it, but now he can be regarded as an official of the court.

Knowing the significance of a British lord to a country and its subjects.

It's just that Zhang Yingxing didn't say much.

Because the heart is very clear.
