I Just Won’t Play by the Book

.. When discussing the recent decree with Tai Fu, Jiang Beiran would shake his head from time to time.

It was only after he became emperor that he noticed that the meteorological conditions of the Xuanlong Continent were so strange. It was not because the geography of the Xuanlong Continent was so strange. On the contrary, the four seasons and various climatic zones of the Xuanlong Continent were very similar to the earth. of.

However, due to the existence of aura, various abnormal weather conditions often occur on the Xuanlong Continent.

For example, two adjacent counties, one side has been in severe drought for three years, and the other side is cold and windy, but they will not affect each other at all, and every other year, some places will have completely different climate conditions.

Even if Jiang Beiran doesn't have much geographic knowledge, he understands that this is absolutely unscientific, so he can only use metaphysics to explain it.

After supplementing himself with some metaphysical geography knowledge, Jiang Beiran once again discussed with Shi Xing'an the issue of drought control.

After being reprimanded by Jiang Beiran last time, Shi Xing'an re-drafted a memorial for the drought. Compared with the previous south-to-north water transfer, this time's memorial can be said to be quite satisfactory.

But being mediocre also means mediocre.

For drought, Shi Xing'an gave a total of three suggestions.

One is [thin taxation, wide accumulation].

In this way, the production burden of farmers can be reduced, so that people can leave enough food, so that even if drought strikes, farmers will have a certain guarantee of living materials.

The second is [giving fields and houses, using utensils, and relieving droughts].

Granting Tianzhai, it is natural that when the drought came, the court came forward to solve the problem of living and living places for the people.

If the local area is completely deserted, the only way is to adopt the method of immigrating to eat, and the imperial court will arrange for the victims to move to other counties.

The third is [send messengers to examine and listen, and the people will be prosperous].

That is to say, envoys are often sent to various counties to conduct careful investigations. If it is found that droughts in certain areas are too frequent and unsuitable for the people to survive, they will take the initiative to relocate these people to other places, rather than wait until the people are dying of starvation.

These three suggestions are indeed useful strategies, but they are all ways of evasion, that is, if I can't beat you, I can't run?

There is no real solution.

After reading the memorial, Jiang Beiran agreed and asked Shi Xing'an to hurry up to implement it, but he was thinking about this matter in his heart. To be precise, he was thinking about Shi Xing'an's previous proposal to build a canal. .

From the very beginning, Shi Xing'an admitted that the memorial is indeed a test, but it is not completely impossible to implement. As long as the emperor can mobilize the practitioners, this major project will not be too labor-intensive, and once it is completed, it will be a great achievement. In the future.

Looking at the drought-stricken areas on the map, Jiang Beiran leaned on the back of the dragon chair and began to close his eyes and ponder.

'Are you mobilizing practitioners...'

It is very difficult, very difficult, you must know that whether they are decent disciples or disciples of the Demon Sect, they are all "on a whim" or "hands-on" to help ordinary people.

That is, they are willing to help with things that are easy or easy for them to accomplish.

But the opening of the canal, even if cultivators come, is an incomparably huge project, because digging the canal is not something that can be done with a blast of profound energy, it is a delicate job.

In other words, it takes a lot of cultivators to give up their cultivation time to help the common people dig canals. One or two days, maybe they can still do it with their blood, but what about a year? ten years?

Of course, if you can pay the corresponding remuneration, it is not impossible to drive the practitioners.

After all, Jiang Beiran discovered from the very beginning that in this fantasy world, there are not only strong duels and the best in the world, but more "chai, rice, oil and salt".

Practitioners also need to make money.

But it is impossible for the weak imperial pressure to give the practitioners satisfactory rewards.

‘As expected, what you want to achieve, making money is the first priority. ’

Thinking of this, Jiang Beiran's thoughts became more vivid at once. After all, when he was in the Heart Sect, he already had the embryonic form of Jiang's entertainment empire in his mind. As long as he improved it, he would be thoroughly familiar with the imperial court, as well as black and white. After dividing up the "cake", Jiang Beiran believed that there was definitely something to be done about it.

Shaolin kung fu plus football, can you get it out of the way?

"Be loyal." Jiang Beiran shouted with his eyes closed.

"The servant is here." Gu Jinzhong, who was waiting by the side, responded quickly.

"Go and fetch me the "Ask the Water Collection" and the "Waterway Outline"."

"According to the order."

On the first day, Jiang Beiran gave Gu Jinzhong an exam question that could be said to be simple or not, that is, let him make a list of all the books in the meditation hall.

If Gu Jinzhong is competent as an internal official, then of course, he can quickly complete the list based on the evidence or records left at the time of purchase, but if he is incompetent, it is still very difficult to complete it in one day. of.

But in the end, it turned out that the inner official supervisor did a good job of private ceremony. Although it exceeded a little time, he still managed to sort out the list of all the books in the Jingxin Hall, and also completed the [Note] of the general content of the book. , If put on the official field, can also be regarded as a capable official.

But this also made Jiang Beiran more interested in that Deng Bo.

As the saying goes, one soldier is a bear, and a brood of bears will be bristling. If the emperor is good, then he will be a sage and a sage. .

That is to say, it is possible to obtain

The leader can see the level of his subordinates, and vice versa, the level of his subordinates can also see what some of their leaders are.

However, Deng Bo's subordinates included those young officials. After Jiang Beiran's questioning, these people indeed entered the court through "buying officials".

And when a court starts to buy and sell officials, it's almost coming to an end, but there is more than one official like Shi Xing'an in the court, who blamed those corpses for vegetarian meals in Jiang Beiran's "early court". After Gon Gon and all the dukes, many ministers came to remonstrate and put forward various views.

When Jiang Beiran recruited them into the palace, they could not only respond to their own jurisdiction, but also propose new ideas for others in other matters.

Even these eunuchs who stayed in the palace were mostly capable. They were not only eunuchs, but real eunuchs, not little eunuchs who only served people.

Jiang Beiran also thought that Deng Bo was a strange person to be able to polarize a court so much.

Jiang Beiran also asked those ministers about their views and impressions of Deng Bo, and they answered very happily, thinking that Deng Bo was an aspiring emperor, but he took too big steps and was bewitched by villains.

As for why I say this, it is because when Deng Bo first ascended the throne, he also worked hard and managed the country diligently, but then his temperament changed suddenly, as if he lost interest in governing the country overnight. into other things.

Knowing Jiang Beiran's way of nature, Deng Bo should have been brewing his plan to overthrow Fengzhou during that time.

In fact, in a sense, Deng Bo's philosophy is similar to Yin Jianghong's, and he also believes that the majesty of the dynasty is very important to a country, but he does not plan to play with Yin Jianghong, and plans to rebuild one on the ruins. He has words The court of Quan, can Yin Jianghong agree?

But when Jiang Beiran asked who the villain who bewitched Deng Bo was, all the ministers said they didn't know.

"Your Majesty, here's the book."

Putting away the many thoughts in his head, Jiang Beiran opened his eyes, sat up and took the two books.

Opening the "Ask the Water Collection", Jiang Beiran looked in the direction of Shu Gang and asked, "Master, from what you see, is it okay to dig a canal?"

The small book booth that book lovers used before has been hung up, and now they are basically using the app for changing the source artifact.

Shu Gang bowed his body and said, "The old minister doesn't know about water conservancy, but only knows that there is a precedent for opening a chasm in the book, so the river water is drawn into the balance along the water of Anhong."

"Oh? Which book is it?"

Shu Gang thought for a moment and replied, "The title of the book is "Anshui Lilu".

‘Sure enough, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure. ’

Nodding with satisfaction, Jiang Beiran immediately said, "Be loyal, go and get this book for me."

"According to the order."

Soon, Gu Jinzhong walked back with a book with an outdated cover. Jiang Beiran took it and read it immediately.

But I was a little disappointed after reading it, because compared to the so-called chasm and the canal, it is at most a water pipe, and there is no comparison. But there is not much to learn from.

However, the advantage of digging the gap is that Jiang Beiran is more determined to dig the canal.

First of all, as long as the canal is dug from the south to the north and becomes a major artery, the trade between the north and the south can be greatly facilitated at once.

Of course, Jiang Beiran is more concerned with disaster prevention and disaster prevention. The opening of the canal is the opening of a "river of life" for some drought-stricken areas.

Once a disaster occurs, relief materials can be quickly sent to the disaster area through the Grand Canal, and the artificial canal itself plays a huge role in transporting water. Once a drought occurs, both the locality and the imperial court can easily send water to the disaster-stricken area through the canal, completing the process of Moisture in arid regions.

This can undoubtedly greatly improve the disaster relief capability of the court and the survival probability of the general people after the disaster.

A small gap can save a county. If the canal is opened, it can be said that the entire Fengzhou will not have to worry too much about drought in the future.

As for the difficulty of building the canal, although Jiang Beiran didn't know how to carry out water conservancy projects, since the Sui Dynasty could dig the canal, Jiang Beiran believed that the technical difficulty would not be too high, and the corresponding talents should also be found in Sheng.

Putting down the book, Jiang Beiran looked at Shu Gang and asked, "Master, if you were to recommend someone to dig the canal, who would you recommend?"

After listening to Shu Gang, he cupped his hands and said, "The old minister rarely inquires about the affairs of the court. I really don't know which official to recommend. I also ask the emperor to forgive me."

Because of the particularity of the post of Taifu, even if Shu Gang wanted to deal with the officials in the court, most officials would not be able to avoid it when the title had already been made empty.

The reason why Jiang Beiran asked this was just to knock it casually. To be an emperor, you still have to have this delicate little habit.

Putting aside the fact that the opening of the canal was destined to take a long time to start, Jiang Beiran thought for a moment and said: "Teacher, now I have gradually become familiar with the affairs of the court, and realize that Shengguo is already in vain. In this situation, what do you think I will do next to change the status quo?"

Deng Bo has been in power for more than ten years, and most of his thoughts are on how to subvert the black and white. , it is useless no matter how well he manages.

So today's Shengguo, some prosperous places

Or if the nearby towns with decent or demonic support can still survive, some remote counties and villages will be in trouble.

Before he could mobilize the power of practitioners to help the people, Jiang Beiran still needed to come up with some policies to help them save themselves.

After listening to Shu Gang, he handed over his hands and replied, "The old minister thinks that the current policy requires a rest with the people and restores the most basic productive forces, such as light rationing and bribes."
