However, these canal transport officials did not know that they were actually the most important part of Han Yi's plan, because Han Yi's plan had very high requirements for details. Even if it could save a penny, it had to be considered seriously, because the key to the entire plan was this penny. This was not a technical breakthrough, but to try every means to improve work efficiency and reduce transportation costs, and they were the key to improving details.

Han Yi didn't tell them too much, just told them some of the most practical news. What we need you to pay and what you can get is enough.

Then Han Yi immediately divided them into ten seminar groups based on their hometowns, and asked them to write down all the river conditions they knew and their thoughts after discussion and determination. Of course, the people who escorted grain did not recognize many words, and only some people recognized some words. Therefore, Han Yi assigned a swordsman to each group to record them specifically.

These canal transport officials worked in the manor for the first time in their lives, and did not need to do any physical work. They were not working, but clearly on vacation. Everyone was very excited and they were full of energy when working.

"This is far from enough!"

Han Yi stood outside the door and looked at the canal transport officials who were actively discussing inside, and said to Yan Liben: "Although this plan is simple, every link has to be the most detailed calculation, which requires very complicated calculations, complicated technology, and rich experience. Therefore, I plan to transfer all Di Renjie and the others to Luoyang. In addition, I hope that the Ministry of Works will also send some technicians as much as possible."

"Since that's the case, why don't we go back to Chang'an?" After Yan Liben heard this, he thought that it would be better to go back to Chang'an than to say such words.

Han Yi shook his head and said, "Luoyang is the center of the canal transportation. Its geographical advantages are not available in Chang'an. Sanmen Mountain also belongs to Duji Province. This matter is much more convenient to carry out in many aspects. In addition, if it is carried out in Chang'an, I am afraid that they will be distracted by other things. Obviously, there is not so much trouble here."

Yan Liben was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.

At this moment, the servants came to report to the Prince of Pingyang, the governor of Luozhou, and the chief of Luozhou.

"How did they come?" Yan Liben said in surprise.

Han Yi was not surprised at all and laughed: "This is a master of the times, which shows that they are real masters. Why don't Yan Shangshu meet these three masters with me?"

Yan Liben was a little stunned, then reacted, nodded with a bitter smile, "Please."

"please!"

When he arrived at the front yard, Han Yi immediately accelerated his pace and changed his expression. He bowed to Li Feng, Quan Huai'en and Wang Dali, who were standing in the courtyard, and said, "Oh! The three distinguished guests come to the door. Han Yi is in a position of nowhere. Forgive me, forgive me."

"How dare you, how dare you?" Li Feng also bowed and smiled: "The three of us took the liberty to visit. If we disturb you, Shangshu Han would give him much more."

"Where, where!" Han Yi's face was filled with smiles, "Pingyang County Prince is so serious, I'm not hiding it. I'm planning to visit three of you."

Li Feng said oh, saying, "I wonder what advice does Shangshu Han have?"

"I dare not, I dare not take this advice." Han Yi did not rush to say it, but reached out and said, "We will say in the room, three of you, please."

"please."

The three of them bowed and greeted each other again, and then they entered the hall together.

Han Yi quickly asked someone to serve tea, and he really regarded them as guests of honor. Both sides were talking and laughing.

After meeting Yan Liben, he felt strange in his heart. They had a very unhappy relationship when they met for the first time, and the conflicts deepened a lot. However, when they met for the second time, they seemed to have no unhappiness at all, like old friends who had not seen each other for many years. They felt that they were so old, but they had not lived thoroughly.

After the greeting, Han Yi coughed lightly and said, "I, Han Yi, first arrived in Luoyang, should have visited the three of you. I was busy with official duties and failed to withdraw my family in time. I had to bother you to come here in person. It's so rude!"

Li Feng smiled and said, "Shangshu Han is so serious. We all know that Shangshu Han is very busy recently."

"It is rare that Prince Pingyang can understand. Han Yi was really moved." Han Yi bowed and sighed again: "But I have been so busy these days, and I will say it straight to the point, I hope to get the help of three of you."

This is a change of tone and gets to the point.

"Shangshu Han said this and you are just a matter of yourselves. You are also sharing your worries and working for the country. This is also our duty. If Shangshu Han has anything to do with us, just give us the order." Wang Dali did not hesitate at all, and obviously came prepared.

"Oh! This - this Governor of the King is so generous, Han Yi really doesn't know what to say." Han Yi was excited and said, "If the three of you can help each other, that would be great."

Quan Huai'en said readily: "Shangshu Han just said it's okay."

"Then I'll just say it." Han Yi coughed lightly and said, "I believe that the three of you also know about the canal transportation. Your Majesty hopes to reduce the burden on the people, so he plans to hire merchants to escort some of the canal transportation. Luoyang happens to be the center of the canal transportation. I think the matter of the canal reform must be initiated from Luoyang, but this must require the help of the three. Han Yi alone cannot do it."

The implication is that without your own way, I can't move forward.

Li Feng, Quan Huai'en, Wang Dali looked at each other, his eyes full of pride. No matter how capable Han Yi is, you still have to come and ask us. You can't avoid Luoyang, but you can't avoid the three of us.

Li Feng smiled and said, "I will not hide it from Shangshu Han. This is also the purpose of our visit. After we learned about Shangshu Han's plan, we felt that this method was very wonderful. It can be said that it benefits the country and the people. We are willing to do our best."

Quan and Wang also nodded one after another.

"Oh! If that's the case, that would be great."

Han Yi pretended to be happy, "It's so. I plan to use Luoyang as the starting point. Because Luoyang's grain transportation is heavy, the people of Luoyang are also suffering from grain labor. Therefore, I plan to reduce the grain labor labor of Luoyang people first."

After hearing this, Li Feng immediately stood up and bowed, "This is really great. I would like to thank Shangshu Han on behalf of the people of Luoyang."

Han Yi also hurriedly stood up and bowed and replied, "Han Yi can't bear this big gift from Prince Pingyang."

But in Yan Liben's eyes, how could he be hypocritical?

Han Yi said again: "In addition, I plan to demolish the second warehouse of Luoxi and then build a large warehouse near Sanmen Mountain."

After hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but change their faces. But Han Yi said again: "Whether it is Luoxi Ercang or Sanmenshan, they are all within the jurisdiction of Luozhou, so this must be approved by the three."

The three of them changed their expressions again, and Li Feng hurriedly smiled and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

In fact, the three of them came for these two things. First, the Caojiao and the Warehouse. When they heard that Han Yi wanted to destroy the Second Warehouse of Luoxi, they were actually very panicked. If the warehouse was removed, they would still play a game. Luoyang's status would definitely plummet, but Sanmen Mountain also belongs to Dugi Province. Han Yi also said that it was under their control, so they didn't care, they just moved the warehouse.

Moreover, now that they don’t have to speak, Han Yi said it all, and hinted that they are only responsible for the plan and the specific implementation, and they have to leave it to you.

Everyone has their own gains, so the whole conversation is very pleasant. They all respond to each other's requests, but it is nothing more than an exchange of interests.

It can be seen that this politician is so hypocritical, but when the interests are different, they are enemies, and when the interests are the same, they are brothers, which is really not an exaggeration at all.

Of course, Han Yi did this deliberately, because Han Yi also understood that this plan needs their support, and he could not always stay in Luoyang, and the three of them who managed Luoyang were still the ones. Moreover, his purpose was not to increase his power and status in Luoyang, but this plan. As long as this plan can continue smoothly, it would be enough. He really doesn't care about the rest. Therefore, giving them some benefits in exchange for their support for themselves, this deal is very cost-effective.

Moreover, as long as it is within his plan, he is an invincible existence. I can get it back at any time for you today.

Palace.

Wu Meiniang sat at the table, holding a cup of cooled tea in her right hand, and was stunned. The crystal white jade hand as crystal clear as mutton fat jade made the jade cup in her hand dim and dim.

"well!"

A sigh suddenly came from outside the door, which also interrupted Wu Meiniang's thoughts. She turned her head and saw Li Zhi walking in with a depressed look on her face.

Wu Meiniang hurriedly put down the jade cup in her hand, stood up to greet her, first she bowed, and then helped Li Zhi take off her coat like a virtuous wife, but she said curiously: "Why did Your Majesty sigh?"

"What else can you do?" Li Zhi suddenly snorted coldly and said angrily: "Du Zhenglun came to me in the morning and said that the matter of Sanmen Mountain had settled, and the Secretariat was busy with official duties, so he had to go back to Chang'an. But Li Yi's mansion came this afternoon. The reason and the statement were exactly the same as Du Zhenglun. Haha, I am really lucky. I have such a prime minister who is doing my best to do my best, so why worry about the country's prosperity."

This is obviously a slander.

A glimmer flashed through Wu Meiniang's eyes, but a dark eyebrows frowned and she said worriedly: "They were anxious to go back to Chang'an, and it was necessary to be for the varied and diverse things. There seemed to be a big conflict in this matter."

After hearing this, Li Zhi could no longer help but said with anger: "If they really think about the country, but their political views are a little different, then that's fine. This is a common thing. At that time, the father and emperor proposed to streamline official affairs, Hou Junji, Fang Xuanling, and uncle also had disagreements. Although they all had some selfish thoughts, they still put national interests first.

But the two of them clearly fought for their own face and power. The Li Yifu relied on my favor for him and was domineering in the court and selling official positions and titles. I really thought I had no idea. I just thought that he had helped me now, so I kept protecting him. But there must be a limit. If he doesn't know the depth, one day, I will not shelter him.

And Du Zhenglun is also relying on his seniority. At such an old age, he doesn’t know how to restrain himself. His spirit is even stronger than that of young people. He knows that he will fight, fight, and uncles all day long. "

Why did he hide in Luoyang? Isn't he just tired of the ministers' quarrels? Because this kind of quarrels are all the ministers' quarrels. When Changsun Wuji stepped down and the court faced a reshuffle, everyone had to consolidate the hard-earned power in his hands. But this was of course beneficial to Li Zhi. Li Zhi's purpose was to disperse power and no longer concentrate it in the hands of someone and threaten the imperial power. In addition, Li Zhi has just taken power now, of course he hopes to work hard to achieve some political achievements, but now they have chased Luoyang and forced him back to Chang'an. Because of the varied and influential matter, it has caused a lot of controversy in Chang'an, which has led to him having to go back to deal with the matter.

But the problem is that Du Zhenglun had just arrived this morning, and Li Yi's mansion came in the afternoon. They were eager to go back to Chang'an. It was obvious that they were planning to decide the outcome. The struggle between the two Zhongshu Ling was due to the varied and varied matters, which would definitely involve all the civil and military officials of the court.

When Li Zhi thought of this, he had a headache.

Wu Meiniang looked guilty and said, "Your Majesty, this is all due to me!"

Before Wu Meiniang could finish her sentence, Li Zhi said, "I have said that this matter has nothing to do with you. Your original intention is good, but the people below want to make trouble with this matter."

Wu Meiniang pondered slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know whether I should say anything."

Li Zhi said: "You just say it's okay."

Wu Meiniang said: "The varied and colorful matter involves a wide range of areas. If the control is not properly done, it may lead to a split in the court. At that time, I am afraid that I will fall into endless disputes between the party and the gang."

Li Zhi frowned and said, "This is also what I am worried about." As he said that, he suddenly looked at Wu Meiniang and asked, "I don't know if the queen has this solution."

Wu Meiniang pondered for a while, then as before, she made a quick decision: "Since that's the case, why don't Your Majesty kill the chicken to warn the monkey?"

"Kill the chicken to warn the monkey?" Li Zhi raised his eyebrows and said, "What do the queen say?"

Wu Meiniang said, "If Du Zhenglun and Li Yifu knew the depth and agreed to a good solution together, it would be great. But if the two of them ignored the division of the court and only cared for their own interests and fought endlessly in the court, I believe that Your Majesty should teach them some lessons, and as long as they subdued them, the storm would naturally be calmed down."

Li Zhi glanced at Wu Meiniang, and there was a light flashing in his eyes. He didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly.
Chapter completed!
