Chapter 1,046 Rhetoric

All the ministers became quiet together, and Zhao Xu asked Su You, "Su You, what do you think?"

These words were extremely polite. Su You bowed seriously and said, "I am extremely frightened to see His Majesty in court meeting you in such a grand manner."

"Feng Gong thought it was disrespectful, Li Gong thought it was a rude treatment, Lu Gong thought it was a disorder of the system. But I thought that the title granted to me was too profound."

Everyone stopped talking, knowing that Su You would have something to say.

Sure enough, Su You continued to say: "The Fish Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period, now Kuizhou, was the place where Emperor Renzong and his ministers took their first foreign posts."

"I have deep feelings about that place."

"When we first arrived in Kuizhou, the road was dangerous. I and my entourage brought four horses with them. When we arrived at the east gate of Kuizhou, only one was left after a fall."

"But this is not a problem of the local people. They are hard-working and kind-hearted. Even the Konoha barbarians were just bewitched by the Tian family and did not intend to rebel."

"That was the first time that I boldly displayed my talents. Fortunately, after many years, great changes have taken place in Kuizhou."

"Being able to turn the 'poorest place in the world' into a field of fish and rice, with mulberry and hemp mixed with grain, making Esshu prosperous at the top and Jingwu at the bottom, gave me full confidence in my ideas."

"If Kuizhou can be cured, where in the world cannot be cured?!"

"There is another important place in Kuizhou, which is its geography. It is the birthplace of the children of Shu who built ships and rushed out of the river gorges to Kyushu."

"If the Chinese people don't have a bit of pioneering spirit, they are still on the Loess Plateau, wandering in the Tongguan and Han Valleys. How could they sweep Wu Lake in the Qin Dynasty, hollow out the Western Region in the Han Dynasty, open up black water in the Tang Dynasty, and protect

How can Mohe be like this now, on the verge of Nanhai, Longya, Penang, and New Song Dynasty?"

"In my heart, Kuizhou is a symbol of such a pioneering spirit!"

"Therefore, I don't think it's a problem to wait for the title."

"Who knew that many years later, we in the Great Song Dynasty would not have a Duke of the State? A Duke of Penang? A Governor of the New Song Dynasty? A Protector of Tianfang?"

"While waiting for the title of Nei, I would like to ask, where is the Liang Kingdom today? Where is the Yan Kingdom?!"

"I hope that one day, Duke Liang and King Yan will appear again in our Song Dynasty!"

"So your majesty treats you as a vassal from the Kingdom of Fish. I don't think it's a poor treatment, I only think it's an encouragement."

"This is a festival that inspires ministers to be loyal and loyal, to be brave in knowing shame, and to advance in spite of difficulties; to inspire the remnants of Zhou and Qin to restore the old territories of the Tang and Han Dynasties; to enable generations of descendants to work hard, and to have vassal states thousands of miles away, and rebellion is bound to happen.

punish!"

"The title granted by His Majesty is truly the wish of the minister. How can you dare to underestimate this extremely important hope?"

"Okay!" Zhao Xu stood up excitedly: "The monarch and his ministers are united, and the top and bottom are of the same mind!"

"This decision has been decided. Su You, Jinyu Guogong, sealed off ten thousand households, and sealed off 4,500 households. He will lead the military base, prepare for consultation, and help me decide on important military and state affairs."

Su You bowed: "My lord, Su You, thank you for Your Majesty's kindness! I will repay you with sincerity and dedication!"

Not only Wang Gui and Zhang Dun were dumbfounded, but all the officials were dumbfounded. What the hell is this in the Military Aircraft Department?!

…

"Have you heard? Have you heard? Xiao Su is a prostitute and has been granted the title of Duke!"

"I've heard of it, but where is this Fish Country? I've never heard of it... Gongzu!"

"I heard that it is in Kuizhou, which is not far from Tanhua's hometown. Hey, you said that this is a high-ranking official in the dynasty, a dignified prince, how can we talk to him in the future? Don't worry!"

"How can Tanhualang be such a person with a good reputation and a high position? Otherwise, just one Nanhai would be the destructive work of two countries! Have you seen any extra rewards? I am a sergeant... If you can't do it, you still have to fly..."

"Hey, why do you regret playing chess? You learned so much from Tanhualang... You said that in the future, Xiao Su Tanhua's collection of essays should be called "Su Yugong's Collection"? It doesn't sound very good..."

"What kind of crispy fish and rooster? Do you think it is a New Year sacrifice to the ancestors? Then Wang Xianggong also entered Jing State from Shu State? Tanhualang will have at least thirty years of official career... will! Hahahahaha... Oh, everyone's Zhou

It's windy even when I walk, I heard that everyone knows about your pig legs?"

Everyone Zhou's faces were glowing with beauty: "The waiter said that our pig legs will be called Su Gong's pig legs from now on. Second boss, do you think so?"

"My dear Zhou, the second boy is just teasing you. No matter how you pronounce these four words, they all sound like curses. Don't you think so?"

"Oh, it's true! This damn waiter! I'll give him a beating next time I pass by!"

"Let's play chess, let's play chess. The locust trees in Yiqiumen are blooming early this year, so I thought there would be a big happy event, and it turned out that it was Xiao Su Tanhua. Oh, by the way, Lao Wang, your new wife is about to give birth, right?"

"Yes, just these days, all the crucian carp have been raised in the jar..."

"Then how many beams does the midwifery official on the pain sharing basin of your bride have on her head? Don't make a mistake."

"Yes, Lao Zhang, you really reminded me. Now it's time to win the Seven-Liang Crown. I'll wait until my grandson finishes school and let him pick up a pen and add another one..."

…

Jiayin, the imperial court decreed that the Shang and Zhou Dynasty Kaoyi Bureau was established to collect oracle bones, stone drums, Yi tripods, bamboo slips and other texts from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and carry out research work such as collection, organization, textual research and translation.

Prime Minister Sima Guang of the Si Yushitai established two branches: the east and west. The west bureau was personally consuled by Sima Guang and was mainly responsible for the study of writings since the Western Zhou Dynasty; the east bureau was headed by Liu Yu, a Hanlin bachelor who judged ministers and examined meritorious services, and was also responsible for the Taichang Liyuan.

A detailed analysis of the texts before the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Liu Zong was very knowledgeable, but his wit was even worse than that of Da Su. When he first entered the palace, he often rode a bad horse in and out.

Colleagues advised: "Don't you think about the danger of running away when passing through the crowd when you are going to court?"

Liu Tong replied: "I have to deal with it myself."

Colleagues asked: "How to deal with it?"

Liu Tong replied: "I'm going to buy green cloth to make a small veil to cover the back of the horse's butt."

Colleagues were surprised and said: "Isn't this even weirder?"

Liu Xun said: "Fortunately, when the pavilion was eliminated at first, the salary was very low and no salary was given to the government. Because it was cheap, I took this horse instead of traveling."

"But I didn't realize the depth of your faults. For this reason, I tried to cover up the words of those who spoke."

The curtain that blocks a horse's butt is used to cover the mouth of a person who speaks. This is a vicious metaphor for someone's mouth to be a hole in the horse's butt.

Cai Que was appointed as the new political advisor. Liu Ye couldn't stand Cai Que's sudden advancement, so he gave Cai Que a nickname, "Hanging Clam".

Clams have another name in Beijing, called "shell vegetables", which means "caipai" when reversed, which is homophonic to Cai Que.

Everyone who heard it couldn't help but laugh, but Cai really hated it.

I just found a reason to drive him to Bozhou to be the magistrate of the state, and by the way, I mentioned the matter of the Shang and Zhou examinations in Yidong.

In April, Xinyou, due to Su You's suggestion, the Qun Mu Xing Department was dismissed and the Tiju Ma Superintendent Mu Department was reinstated.

At the same time, the imperial court established Beiyuan Winter Prison in Xiangzhou, Zhengsheng Prison in Fujian and Shiyi Island in Guangdong, and Yufan Prison in Shaanxi.

With an annual output of 5,000 war horses, Sitong Company obtained the contracting rights for the Eleven Islands, the Breeding Prison and the Yufan Prison.

The weather was unfavorable this month, with heavy rain on Shaanxi Road and drought around Kaifeng. The imperial court ordered ministers to beg for rain and drive away evil spirits.

Wu Anchi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, wrote a letter stating that as the Yellow River channel moves northward, it will become increasingly difficult to divert the Yellow River to Bian Canal, and there is too much sediment in the Yellow River, which will cause the Bian Canal to be blocked.

Therefore, we requested the imperial court to consider diverting water from the upper reaches, diverting the Luo River water from Luoyang to the northeast, to Waziting in Heyin County, and connecting to the Bian River.

In this way, the ancient Tongji Canal can be utilized to the maximum extent, and water transportation can be carried directly from Bianjing to Luoyang.

Su You's memorial agreed with Wu Anchi's opinions and made some additions.

The previous Bianhe River water diversion project relied on the Yellow River. The sediment in the Yellow River was too heavy, so Wu Anchi's suggestion was feasible.

However, the Luo River is a tributary of the upper reaches of the Yellow River. Although the water quality is clear and free of sediment, the rapid rise and fall are not satisfactory.

Fortunately, it can be controlled through today's artificial technology, so if we really want to realize what Wu Anchi said about Cao Tong Luoyang, two major projects must be supported.

One is the hydraulic control hub and large reservoir in the upper reaches of Luoshui River to ensure stable water flow output.

Second, the number of complex gates and water tanks on the Bian Canal needs to be increased.

The significance of this project is not only to ensure that the Bian Canal, the current lifeline of the Song Dynasty, has a sufficiently clear water source, but more importantly, after the project is completed, grain can be transported directly from Bianjing to Gongyi and Luoyang!

It used to be the largest grain transfer center during the Han and Tang Dynasties. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty once built Xingluo Cang in Luokou.

If it is dry, it can be stored in cellars for a long time and transported down the river and Luo Cao."

At that time, there were 3,000 granaries around Xingluo Cangcang City for more than 20 miles. Each granary stored 8,000 dans of grain, and a total of 23 million dans could be stored.

Even in the later prosperous Tang Dynasty, the total amount of grain stored in the country's major large granaries was only more than 12 million shi, which was only half of the storage capacity of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty's Luokou granary.
