Yangzhou is a place full of history and stories. In the past, it was called Jiangdu and Guangling. It was the place where Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was buried. Excellent work.

However, due to the more than [-] years of war, Yangzhou City suffered a lot of heavy damage, and it was not until the regime in the south was completely wiped out that Yangzhou was able to restore peace and recuperate.

Therefore, Shen Ji felt that although Yangzhou was prosperous, it was not as good as Bianliang.

"It's no wonder that everyone doesn't want to move the capital. Luoyang is even worse than Yangzhou. Who wants to give up Bianjing and move to Luoyang?" Shen Ji sighed.

Li Yunyao comforted her: "The last time I went back to Beijing, I passed through Luoyang. It was much more prosperous than when we first went to Luoyang. There were a lot more people, and it gradually gained popularity. It has been cleaned up all the time, and I believe it will not take too long for Luoyang to regain its former status as the capital."

"Speaking of canal transportation, we always used water when we went to Yangzhou. Now it is a season of abundant rain, and the water level should be high. But I see that the water level of the canal is a bit low? Many river sections have to rely on Stretch and walk."

"Ask the transfer envoy and you will know."

Although the transshipment envoy is Shen Ji's boss, but at the beginning he was mainly responsible for the water transportation. However, in recent years, in order to deprive the Jiedu envoy of his real power, the transshipment envoy has taken away some administrative functions. Government officials can also intervene in matters of punishment, prison and public order.

The headquarters of the Transshipment Department is in Yangzhou, not far from Shen Ji's magistrate's office.

Not long after Shen Ji took office, Liu Pan, the envoy of fortune, sent someone to entertain her.

Perhaps it was because he had heard that Shen Ji had the reputation of being sympathetic to official prostitutes and loved to do good to them. Liu Pan was afraid that Shen Ji would release all the official prostitutes in Yangzhou as soon as he came, so this banquet did not arrange official prostitutes to add to the fun. My own prostitutes came out to persuade them to drink.

Shen Ji wondered: "Emissary Liu Cao, it's not that I won't give you face, but that my wife strictly forbids me to get drunk, otherwise I won't be allowed to step into the government office."

The colleagues laughed and said: "The prefect's wife is so tough, why do you keep abandoning her?"

Shen Ji glanced at the group of courtiers who were hugging the prostitutes of the Liu family, who were dissolute while they were drunk, a sneer sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Wives who are filthy don't go to court, not to mention, I can never find a wife who is better than my wife." A more virtuous, sensible, and decent wife."

When it comes to women, there are many topics. Some say that a wife with three obedience and four virtues is a good wife; post...

Some people have already started to introduce candidates for second marriage to Shen Ji.

Shen Ji didn't get angry, but just asked them with a smile: "Have the good wives and mothers you mentioned ever read poetry and books, are full of economics, and are familiar with classics? Have you ever known how to make gunpowder and iron cannons? Have you ever traveled all over the world?" Heaven and earth, providing advice and suggestions for people's livelihood and everything? Has she ever been praised by the government and ordered to be enshrined? Has she ever guided me when I was lost and confused? She is irreplaceable."

After finishing speaking, she put down her wine glass heavily, and said coldly, "How can you allow such a magnificent person to be insulted and compared with those mediocre women?!"

Being so frightened by her, everyone sobered up seven percent of their wine. Only now did they realize that Shen Ji was not a child of a dandy family who was born in a family. Jue also relied on her outstanding achievements in Daizhou. She has a prime minister who is a father behind her, so there is no need to make false claims with these old fritters. The reason why she was invited here was just because she didn't want to lose courtesy.

On the first seat, Liu Pan, who had been watching the changes, finally came out to smooth things over, saying that Shen Ji had a deep relationship with the Wen'an County Lord and his wife, and the officials were outsiders, so they didn't know the deep relationship between the two.

These words are very similar to that kind, and while praising Shen Ji and Li Yunyao's deep feelings, they also excused these people's outspokenness by saying that they did not understand the truth.

Everyone went down the steps and echoed one after another.Shen Ji is new here, so it's not easy to argue with these people, otherwise he will appear aggressive.

After this incident, everyone restrained a lot, and Shen Ji also took this opportunity to chat about serious matters.Regarding the water level of the canal, no one knows better than the transshipment envoy in charge of water transportation.

Liu Pan didn't expect that after she took office, she would pay attention to such small things first, and said: "This canal was originally dug by hand. The channel is narrow and shallow, and the silt in the river is clogged. high."

"Then why not clean up the silt? There is a problem with the canal, and the Cao Shi should be the most troublesome one, right?"

Liu Pan smiled and asked someone to bring a map of Yangzhou. He unfolded it and said, "The canal in the Yangzhou section belongs to the Huainan Canal. It starts from Shanyang in the north and ends at Guazhou Town in Yangzhou in the south. The water in the north section comes from the Huaihe River. We also have the Yangtze River flowing in here, and the river banks at both ends will be encroached by the big river, resulting in the accumulation of silt, and the river bed is too high to be transported. The silt is cleaned every year, and thousands of spring laborers are recruited every year to clean it. The silt has little effect, and it seems to be a waste of money and people.”

Shen Ji nodded and didn't say much.

After the banquet, Shen Ji returned home early.After she left, those officials who hadn't left gathered around Liu Pan and secretly murmured, "It's hard to get along with Xinzhizhou!"

"You should be more cautious in your actions in the future, this one is not to be provoked." Liu Pan advised.

Even the transfer envoy said so, and naturally everyone dared not speak up in front of Shen Ji like before.

……

Although the transshipment envoy is responsible for the water transportation, the canal is also related to people's livelihood. If Shen Ji wants to manage Yangzhou well and vigorously develop the people's livelihood economy in Yangzhou, he has to make use of his strengths and avoid weaknesses.

She was not in a hurry to deal with the canal issue immediately. After taking office, she first familiarized herself with Yangzhou's government affairs, and at the same time visited the village to learn about the customs and customs here.

There are state schools in Yangzhou, but in comparison, private schools are still very popular. For this reason, Shen Ji took Xu Xuan's letter and found his friends. Apart from asking them for advice, he also discussed with them. People's livelihood, the future of the people, and inviting them to teach in state schools.

After she was familiar with the affairs of Yangzhou, she sorted out the water conservancy information collected so far and studied it with Li Yunyao.

There are many talents in water conservancy in the court, and they should have the most experience in the management of the most important "four rivers transported by water" in the Song Dynasty. Shen Ji wrote letters to bother them with the cheek to ask them about the management of the canal.

Li Yunyao reminded: "The four rivers transported by water, Bian River, Huimin River, Guangji River and Jinshui River, their river conditions must be different from those of the Huainan Canal, so measures should be made according to local conditions, and other places cannot be copied experience."

Shen Ji smiled and said: "Naturally, it's just that I was not proficient in water conservancy in the past, and now I don't want to be like a headless chicken who can't find the north, so I should learn from others and learn from others."

Shen Ji's research really gave her some clues. She said: "We can set up weirs and gates in these river sections to control the water level. At the same time, we can also choose an artificial lake beside the canal as a Where the water is stored, when the water level in the canal is not enough for ships to pass, water is released from the artificial lake. When there is plenty of rain, the water is stored in the artificial lake..."

Li Yunyao felt that her idea was good, and gave some suggestions based on the experience of later generations. The two then integrated these materials, wrote them into a notebook and handed them up.

These plans have been researched and discussed by experts in water conservancy in Chaozhong, and they have been unanimously approved, but this project is quite costly, which made Ji Ji somewhat dissatisfied.However, if this matter is handled well, the wealth that water transportation can bring to Bianliang will be huge. Compared with it, that little expenditure is nothing.

For this reason, the imperial court specially set up officials to manage the release and storage of water from weirs and gates.

When Liu Pan saw this, he was a transshipment envoy anyway, how could Shen Ji snatch all the credit for the water transportation?Therefore, a strategy was also offered, saying that the water at the entrance of the two sections of the river in Chuzhou and Yangzhou was turbulent, and the tank boats traveling between the north and the south were often affected in these places and damaged the tank boats. In order to avoid the risk of wind and waves and solve the water source of the canal Question, it is suggested to dig a few more canals at the river mouths on both sides...

The court also agreed to this proposal.

Boss Zhao said to Shen Yilu: "Liu Pan has been in Huainan for many years, but he has not made any achievements. Now that he is forced by Xiao Shenqing like this, he has shown his ability."

If it weren't for Shen Ji's water conservancy strategy, which made Liu Pan feel the pressure, he might not be able to think of such a good way to manage the canal.

Boss Zhao felt that it was right to release Shen Ji to Huainan Road.Someone should be chasing after them, and these old horses will continue to run forward!

The author says:

The advantage of this article is that it is suitable as an ending anywhere, and many political matters will definitely not be written in detail. In fact, chapter 129 can be regarded as the ending chapter, and the rest of it can be read as a side story.
