Chapter 7: River Control (Sixth)

"Work-for-relief? Let the victims work hard to build rivers and dig canals by themselves? Yes, why didn't I expect this trick!" Guo Wei was stunned at first, then jumped up and raised his hand to pat his head hard! "I have always been worried that so many homeless refugees, who have nothing to do when they are full all day, will definitely cause trouble if they are incited by others. If they don't give them food, they will definitely starve to death. Work-for-relief! If you want to support your family, hurry up to work for me. If you are tired every day, who has the heart to make trouble!"

"There are also selling land for money, and selling the unowned lands in the northern and southern prefectures of the Yellow River to the rich! This is also very important!" Chai Rong smiled and pulled his adoptive father, and then continued to add. "My Great Zhou now has a lot of wasteland and a small population. The imperial court has always implemented a land order of 15 acres per 100 acres. Therefore, some wealthy families have only money but are not qualified to occupy more land. Small families have neither spare money nor the strength to open up land. If this continues, there will be no peace for thirty or fifty years. Even Luoyang and Chang'an, the scene of continuous fertile fields recorded in history books cannot be restored!"

"Indeed, the battles that have been fought for seventy years have been wiped out all the people. Alas!" Guo Wei grinned and shook his head and smiled bitterly, "How can you recover in a while? Sell it. If anyone can have more than one hundred, try to plant it. It is better than leaving the fields deserted there! But..."

After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his voice and reminded him with a little frustration, "Have my son ever thought that the lower reaches of the Yellow River are the territory of Gao Baima and your father-in-law. Whether you sell land or open a canal, without them, I'm afraid that if you are a father, you won't be able to get what you want!"

It is a bit depressed to be an emperor to do this. But the fact is that the Great Zhou Dynasty currently does not have enough power or reason to make the local princes with heavy troops obediently obediently obediently to the court's arrangements. Therefore, if you want to govern the Yellow River, it is not enough to have the support of the court, and the cooperation of all the princes along the way is also indispensable.

However, in his opinion, the extremely tedious things became extremely simple when Chai Rong came to Chai Rong. "Father, the son minister requested to serve as the doctor of the Water Department of the Du Water Supervision and Administration Commission to preside over the management of the Yellow River. Fu Zhaowen was recommended, Gao Huailiang was the chief officer and the young supervisor, and assisted the son minister in governing the river together."

"This..." Guo Wei tilted his head and looked at his adopted son repeatedly as if he didn't know him. After a while, he smiled and sighed, "Oh, I'm old, I'm really old. I'm looking at everything, and I'm far less than Jungui. You're just quick and easy. Haha, let Gao Huailiang and Fu Zhaowen come out to help you do things. Gao, this trick is really high. Gao Baima is worried that he won't find a chance to show his face, and Fu Laolang will never be difficult for his nephew. With the two of them, from Caozhou to Binzhou, your order will definitely be unobstructed!"

"With them by my side, you can also make the local princes feel at ease!" Chai Rong nodded and added with a smile.

The river management is not a small project, and there are tens of thousands of people, money, grain, and equipment involved. Therefore, any local prince would not feel at ease when he saw such a large team suddenly coming from his own acre of land. Letting Gao Xingzhou's son and Fu Yanqing's nephew participate in the decision-making is equivalent to actively inviting the two forces to supervise the whole process. Whether Gao Xingzhou and Fu Yanqing's nephew make a name for themselves or to repay the court, they should cooperate with each other.

Of course, the twists and turns in this are not hidden in Guo Wei's eyes. He nodded slightly and said with a smile, "The solution is a good solution, but the pattern is still small. If you want to buy Gao Baima and Fu Laolang, how can you be the head of the Dushui Supervisor and the Shaoshui Supervisor? In this way, if you go to the morning court tomorrow, you will volunteer to control the river. I will grant you the Minister of the Ministry of Works and the presidency of the Yellow River flood. Fu Zhaowen and Gao Huailiang, one is the Minister of Works and the Chief of the Dushui Supervisor, the Third-rank, the Chief of the Works Department, the Chief of the Water Department, the Third-rank. Together with you, the Supervisor and the Chief of the Water Department, the Third-rank. You will cooperate with you to supervise the river affairs and govern the officials. You will be recommended together."

"Thank you, Father!" Chai Rong was overjoyed and immediately bowed to the ground.

He had long been familiar with the various government affairs of the court and knew that Guo Wei's actions were equivalent to handing over half of the Ministry of Works and the entire Dushui Supervisor to himself. From then on, he officially had a team of direct civil servants in the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was no longer as he had been subjected to Wang Jun's elbows in everything, and no matter what he wanted to do, whether he did right or wrong, he would be severely suppressed by the other party.

"No need to thank you! I have said a long time ago that we father and son don't have to be so polite!" Seeing Chai Rong's overjoyed look, Guo Wei couldn't help but sigh quietly. There were some contradictions that could not be reconciled, so he could only find a way to maintain balance. Compared with Wang Jun's strength, the prince probably didn't even control this person. "After you go out, you must work hard and don't let my expectations down!"

"My son dare not, I swear that I will not return to Bianliang if I don't cure the Yellow River!" Chai Rong had been practicing under Wang Jun and Feng Dao for more than a year, and had already put on his horns. He immediately took over the conversation and made a promise.

"What are you saying? If you don't go back to Bianliang, who will come to see me, the lonely old man?" Guo Wei felt sad and asked with a smile.

"Father, I forgive my sins. My son, my son, I will definitely come back during the holidays. But, I can't always be happy like I am now!" Chai Rong felt sad when he thought that his adoptive father had no children around him. He quickly urged him and comforted him with a smile. "But my son, I will definitely work hard to make you report to your grandson at this time next year. With your grandson here, you will definitely not care about missing me anymore!"

"That's about the same!" Guo Wei turned angry and shook his head, "You really should learn from your brother. Look at him. When you get married in October, you can see that the fetus can be seen as a man and a woman. Unlike you, you get married earlier than him, but you have not created a baby yet."

"Yi brother, Yi brother is that, that's a genius, child, child is really inferior!" Chai Rong was embarrassed when he was said, lowered his head and blushed to explain.

"What does it have to do with having a baby have to do with the talent of the gods!" Guo Wei rarely joked with his son. He raised his leg and kicked him, and continued to shout, "You should be diligent and work harder. Not to mention this, tomorrow morning, I will let Zheng Ziming serve as the river patrol envoy. Now that Liao is in chaos, I am temporarily unable to move south. He is a tiger general, and it is a waste to continue squatting in Cangzhou. Just control the security on both sides of the river for you, so as not to have any sluts and make trouble while the flood is causing trouble. If you encounter trouble, you can discuss with him at any time, and you don't have to send a letter, and then wait for him to reply to you!"

"This, this..." Chai Rong's face immediately became even more rosy when he heard it. He was sweating and admitted his mistakes with sweat. "Today, today's map, and the strategy of river management, are indeed mostly from Ziming's hands. Erchen did not want to be greedy for his credit. It was him, he himself repeatedly reminded Erchen to not be allowed or pushed out. Erchen, Erchen..."
