Chapter 1780 Wonderful(1/2)
"Duke Shen!"
Chen An went out for a walk, and the neighbors changed their words.
hehe!
Chen An gave up the opportunity to continue showing off and found his wife when he returned home.
Yang Zhuoxue was very sad when she saw the much shrinking celebration plan. When she saw him coming, she asked, "Official, why did my mother come suddenly?"
hehe!
Chen An responded with a little guilty feeling.
Outside, Wen Xiaozhong, who had just been a messenger, was listening to Zhuang’s honest bragging.
"I'm not bragging myself. When the husband first arrived in Bianliang, I knew it was not something in the pond at a glance, so I went to look for the affairs of the man, and I came immediately. I'm not... I'm working hard every day, and the front yard is a bit eye-catching."
The front yard is where the servants live, Zhuang is the butler, and this is his territory.
The military medal also contains the honest contributions of my Zhuang!
Zhuang looked at the north honestly and said sighingly: "When will I follow my husband to the north to kill the enemy!"
Wen Xiaochong glanced at him. When Zhuang Zhen saw that his eyes were wrong, he asked, "Isn't it appropriate?"
Wen Xiaochong nodded, Zhuang asked honestly: "Why? Killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions is my wish."
"You will be the credit of the enemy if you go."
Wen Xiaochong turned around and went back, Zhuang Zhen wanted to vomit blood.
The Shen family's reel was finally put out, but it was not so popular, and the neighbors came to celebrate.
As for asking some ladies to party at home, Chen An had no objection.
But after asking for it once, Yang Zhuoxue was no longer interested.
"It's all about eating, drinking, and clothes and jewelry."
Yang Zhuoxue felt that such days were empty.
"It's okay." Chen An felt that his wife should have her own social interaction. "If you invite them, they will also invite them back. Even if you have friends, like-minded people will interact more, and if you think something is wrong, you will interact less. There is no need to complain, it's just a pastime."
"Then I'll go?" Yang Zhuoxue was ready as he spoke.
Alas! Woman!
Chen An nodded, and Yang Zhuoxue took Zhao Wuwu out.
Since marrying into the Shen family, Yang Zhuoxue can be regarded as a model for taking care of her husband and children, but such days are too boring, and Chen An feels that he should open a window for her.
And the Song Dynasty also needs to open the window.
"The road from Bianliang to the north must be repaired!"
The wars rose again in the court.
Han Qi, who just returned, was furious, "I was patrolling back and forth in Youyan's land. The road there was not good, very bad! I returned from Youyan this time, and the roads were bumpy. Those roads! They all became mud ponds. How to walk? The roads were not smooth and the transportation of supplies was difficult. How to win?"
When the Northern Expedition was victorious, there were still many things left, such as selling the land and collecting the seizures, which made the three officials very busy.
Han Jiang hoped to be quiet for a while, but Han Qi refused, so he went out to work and said, "There is no mistake in Han Xiang's words, but the road is not good, it was the mistake of that year."
Han Qi was stunned and remembered what happened back then.
"Since the failure of the Northern Expedition, the Song Dynasty built paddy fields in the north and built canals everywhere, but the roads were unwilling to be renovated. Whenever it rained, the roads in the north became mud ponds. This was just a measure to stop the Liao people from moving south. Today, the Korean minister roared about this, and I thought it was inappropriate."
There were a few blisters on the corners of Han Jiang's mouth, which showed that she was in a bad mood, so she hit Han Qi with a rare moment.
But who is Han Qi?
The two major gangsters of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Yunrang in the royal family, and Han Zhigui in the Political Affairs Hall, the two major gangsters, one inside and one outside, can be said to be a perfect match for each other.
Han Qi glared and shouted: "A quibbling word! The Liao people were repeatedly repelled by the Song Dynasty several years ago. Why not build bridges and pave roads?"
This is just a quibble!
Han Jiang really wanted to fight with this old hooligan, but looking at Han Qi's "magnificent" body, he was repulsing.
But he has many reasons, "I would like to ask the Prime Minister Han, who was the Sansi envoy a few years ago?"
The three envoys from the Three Sessions a few years ago were Bao Zheng!
Han Qi was stunned and looked at Bao Zheng.
Bao Zheng Muran.
I repaired a few years ago... I was a poor man in the court a few years ago and I was almost like a pants. Is it a big deal to repair my skills!
Han Qi said in disappointment: "Debtat on duty!"
Zeng Gongliang felt very comfortable, really, and he was comfortable all over.
Seeing Han Qi roaring in front of him, he felt particularly fulfilled and stable.
Han Jiang was so angry that he said, "Where did I dereliction of duty? Please let the prince of Han explain it clearly!"
Han Qi called out and said, "Your Majesty, the land of Youyan has been recovered, and it still needs a name."
When the old hooligan saw that he was going to lose, he immediately turned around. He was very skillful in using this method and was outrageous. Everyone looked at Han Jiang with a little more sympathy.
But this is indeed a problem.
"Your Majesty, there are no big rivers over there!" Zeng Gongliang felt it was difficult to name it.
The first-level administrative unit of the Song Dynasty was road, and the names of roads were mostly based on rivers, such as Jiangnan Road, Hedong Road, and Hebei Road...
But Zhao Shu obviously had a vain case, "There are young rivers in the north, so they can be named as mountains. I think... they can be Yanshan Road."
Yanshan Road...
"Good name!"
Han Qi praised: "Yanshan is nearly a thousand miles east-west, and it is a barrier to the north. It is a good name!"
So the name was decided.
"Your Majesty, I am just that this time I returned south and saw the road in the north... I dare not say anything, it is really like mud. If it is not repaired, how can the north develop?"
Han Qi seems to have gained a lot of understanding of this, so it is very rare to be serious.
"What do I think about this matter... Han Qing?" Zhao Shu suddenly threw the pot to Han Jiang.
Building roads has always been a big deal of money and food. You have to recruit civilians, get tools, and constantly provide money and food.
Han Jiang had a headache, "Your Majesty, it's time to build roads, but those roads turned into mud after a heavy rain...
The roads in the north have been ignored or deliberately made like that for many years. Now it is difficult to repair them. We have to start from scratch. We have to say that there are countless money and food, but we are afraid that we will be damaged if we have another rain."
Zhao Shu nodded, "There are too many ditches. Some places deliberately put the roads in low-lying places. Once heavy rains, the roads will become ponds and it is difficult for people to move forward."
Shen An smiled unkindly.
The roads have become ponds, and you can imagine how bad the traffic in the north is.
The south of the Song Dynasty became more and more prosperous, but what about the north?
What to do in the north?
"Your Majesty, why not... let's go slowly." Zeng Gongliang felt that it was difficult to be thorough, so he simply delayed.
Many things are just dragged out.
Shen An came out and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate."
After becoming Duke of Yan, Shen An felt a little novel. He was still in the adaptation period these days and rarely spoke.
Zhao Shu said: "What's wrong, you can tell me."
"I think the roads in the north need to be repaired, and they need to be repaired in major ways!"
"What should I do to repair it?" Han Jiang felt that Chen An was standing and talking without a pain. "The money and grain of the three departments have been relieved. In the future, Yanshan Road has no money to spend. If the major repairs are made, where can I get the money and grain?"
Most of the people who have been appointed as the Three Sessions will become old stingy.
Short-sighted!
Chen An sighed, "The south has always been prosperous, and later the sea trade boom was even more icing on the cake. Can Han Xiang know that the merchants in the south dare to use gold foil to make flowers?"
"extravagant!"
Han Qi was very dissatisfied, but Chen An was a little envious when he saw it.
"Those businessmen are rich and want to use gold foil to wipe their butts, but where is the north?"
Chen An felt that they did not see the long-term. "With the great development of maritime trade, the south will continue to develop rapidly, and then... the tax will increase. Everyone, what will happen when the tax paid by the south account for 70% to 80%?"
"That's a good thing." Han Jiang felt happy when she thought of this, "If so, Sansi's life would be better."
"But what about the north?" Chen An continued: "The south will continue to develop because of money, but what about the north? Because of money, the roads will be disrepaired and the schools will be reduced. These are nothing. What you fear the most is... the barrier between the north and the south!"
Bang!
Han Qi slapped the thigh behind him without hesitation.
To be continued...
