"All the supervisors and soldiers came to gather!"

"Everyone else has some rest, drink some water and work!"

The fortification scene became lively again, and countless civilians began to gather in front of buckets of clear water, and a large number of officers and soldiers began to be called aside by Han Ju.

The two kings walked together, strolling and chatting along the edge of the construction site, followed by a large group of officials and guards.

After walking a few steps behind his back, Xiao Yuan said again: "My sister Wang wants to change the phenomenon of oppressing the people. It is useless to just purify the administration. The most important thing is policy changes."

"To put it simply, it means abandoning the idea that everything that the powerful and the wealthy do is right and what the people do is wrong, giving poor people more opportunities and giving civilians more possibilities to stand out, and no longer regarding their origins as the foundation of the country."

"But it is obvious that in Xuanguo, it is impossible for a civilian to enter the officialdom, no matter how talented he is or how unborn he has, it is probably impossible, because your officialdom system has been controlled by those powerful people. In other words, the talent transfer and official positions in Xuanguo are all in the hands of the aristocratic families."

King Xuan listened carefully and thoughtfully.

Xiao Yuan glanced at her, and the two continued to walk slowly: "Of course, this is also beneficial. These aristocratic families have been loyal to the Xuan royal family for generations, and have a deep aristocratic philosophy. The disadvantage is that even if the children of wealthy families are mediocre, they still occupy that 'place'. I say that, can Wang Mei understand it?"

"Of course." King Xuan felt very powerless.

Xiao Yuan continued: "But Wang Mei has great military and political power. With a command, she can mobilize all the Xuan Army troops, and there is nothing to worry about."

"But as Brother Wang said, the civil service system and official positions are recommended by those ministers, so it is easy for officials to protect each other, and this situation is inevitable." King Xuan said.

"If you use too much force, the harm will outweigh the benefits. Sister Wang knows that among my court officials, there have been people who say that we are in military dictatorship." Xiao Yuandao.

"Oh?" King Xuan was quite interesting and couldn't help but wonder: "There is such a thing? Qin Chen really dares to say it?"

"Don't believe it. That guy is a stubborn guy. Sometimes, he can make me angry to death and wish he could cut him with one knife." Xiao Yuan said.

"Then this person must be talented, otherwise, how could he let Brother Wang do this? I just don't know who." King Xuan was curious.

"Liu Changqing." Xiao Yuan did not hide it.

"Is it him? I heard that this person handled the case of official grain exchange for theft for Brother Wang?" King Xuan said.

Xiao Yuan smiled bitterly. Sometimes he hated Liu Changqing very much, thinking that the man was just a lie, like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, too upright and unreasonable, but sometimes he had to reuse him.

Seeing this, King Xuan pursed his lips and the two of them talked about other topics together.

That afternoon, Zhang Jingrui did rush back. In fact, he didn't know that Xiao Yuan and King Xuan had already come here. After returning, he looked hurried and rushed to the Canal Entrance Construction Office for inspection.

Han Ju was beside him. After he finished measuring, he asked: "All fortifications are strictly carried out according to Lord Zhang's requirements. Is there any problem today?"

"Well, just repair it like this, reinforce it with multiple layers, which is conducive to the sluice." Zhang Jingrui nodded and looked at Han Ju and said, "Thank you for your own supervision."

"No need, it's all for the country."

Zhang Jingrui said again: "But Lord Han, I have a new idea recently. How many meters will the river be expanded?"

"What did you say?" Han Ju was shocked: "It's still expanded? If it expands again, it will be beyond the budget and fortification plan."

"Of course, I will report these issues to His Highness Xuan first, so she nodded." Zhang Jingrui said.

"Ha." Han Ju smiled: "Mr. Zhang, I advise you not to do anything extra. I don't think the king will agree."

"How can I know if I don't try it? Maybe His Highness Xuan will approve of the proposal?" Zhang Jingrui said: "I'll write a letter now."

As he said that, he had to go back to his residence.

But Han Ju said coldly: "No need to report the report. My king has arrived and is about to summon Lord Zhang. In addition, the King of Qin is also here."

"What?" Zhang Jingrui was startled and then asked quickly: "Dare you ask Lord Han, where is the second king now?"

Half an hour later.

Zhang Jingrui arrived in a hurry and saw Xiao Yuan, he knelt down on the ground: "I am the king, I, Wang Wannian."

"Get up." Xiao Yuan waved his hand.

Zhang Jingrui stood up, bowed down to King Xuan, and gave a deep salute, but then showed a tangled expression because he didn't know who to report to.

Xiao Yuan immediately understood and immediately said, "This is the water conservancy project of Xuanguo. Lord Zhang is currently the censor of Tongzhou Canal Water Conservancy Supervision of Xuanguo. All issues must be reported to King Xuan without caring about whether I am here."

"Yes." Hearing this, Zhang Jingrui felt at ease, and then said to King Xuan: "I believe that your highness had inspected the construction site before, and the route of the river canal flowing, and the foreign ministers had also reported in detail, but now, the foreign ministers have another idea."

"Please tell me, Lord Zhang." King Xuan signaled.

Zhang Jingrui said: "Using the existing planned flow route, expand the width of the canal several feet."

"What?" Xuan Wang frowned.

Zhang Jingrui quickly explained: "After multiple investigations, foreign ministers discovered that this big river canal can not only irrigate fertile fields in several counties, but also becomes a water route."

King Xuan frowned again.

Zhang Jingrui continued to explain: "If the big river canal canal canal canal can not only be used for irrigation, it can also form a waterway, starting from Yuzhou, through dozens of towns along the river canal, and establish a wharf."

King Xuan understood and said in a desirable voice: "Mr. Zhang said that if we expand it a little further and form a waterway, it will greatly improve the transportation and commercial trade in Yuzhou, Tongzhou and other places?"

"Yes, your highness, land freight is not convenient. Once the waterway is formed, it will not only be fast and efficient, but also cargo ships carry more cargo. It can completely use the big river canal as a dual purpose for businessmen."

Zhang Jingrui said, and said again: "But... this must have exceeded the previous gold and silver budget, and the imperial court needs to allocate funds again."

After hearing this, King Xuan couldn't help but look at Xiao Yuan.

The latter was happy and said, "How about Sister Wang? I'll just say that he wants money and it's still here!"

"..." King Xuan was speechless, looked at Zhang Jingrui, hesitated for a while before saying, "This, what Lord Zhang said, is indeed beneficial to the country, but let me consider it."
