In the Transportation Office, Wang Yaochen whispered to Xu Ping: "Yunxing, since the replacement of the Censor General of the Censor in the court, Mr. Yan has obviously come less, and even when he is here, he no longer has the interest to ask us as he used to. . The fastest update"

Xu Ping said: "It is normal for human nature. Mr. Lu is not an open-minded person. He knew that Mr. Yan was mixed together every day, and life was not easy after the scholar returned to the court."

Wang Yaochen shook his head: "Sir Yan is too cautious, don't you know what you are afraid of?"

Can you be uncautious? In addition to the prime minister and Privy Councilor, Yan Shu was able to do most of the positions in the court, but there was no position that was necessary for him. Yan Shu was very talented and was a master of the time of writing at this time, but in this era, he lacked everything, but he was not short of good articles. However, in terms of true governance achievements, Yan Shu did not show any results. Most of his contributions were in establishing education and finding talent training. This was embarrassing. Yan Shu found that the talents he trained were still middle and lower-level officials, at most, such as Fan Zhongyan and others, who were middle and high-level officials, lacking firm political power to support him.

In another ten or twenty years, most of the backbone forces in the court had received the favor of Yan Shu, and his good days came at that time. As for now, he still had to endure it, but he was a person who could not stand the pain and loneliness.

Everyone has their own ambitions. Xu Ping understands Yan Shu. Everyone has their own way of living and cannot force others to do anything. Faced with the pressure of Lu Yijian, the most fundamental thing is to rely on himself. As long as "The Strategy for Rich the Country and the People" is well compiled and combined with the governance achievements of Jingxi Road, Lu Yijian cannot suppress it. Xu Ping's policies have an economic foundation, political achievements are placed there, and it is truly giving benefits to the people and being supported by the people. What should we rely on to succeed in the reform? The mass movement and upper-class political struggle can only be invincible. Because the situation in the court is relatively complicated now, Xu Ping has not yet laid his body to the people on Jingxi Road. If Lu Yijian really suppresses him this time, he will not make any compromises, and Xu Ping would not mind deepening the mass base and pulling Lu Yijian off the stage a few years later. It is just that the conflict between the old and new is too fierce and the impact on society is too great. Xu Ping does not want to stand at the forefront.

Zhao Zhen was very sensitive to forming cliques by officials. He respected ministers and delegated power to ministers, so there was a prerequisite for not forming cliques. In history, no one seized the responsibility of forming cliques until his death. This was the basis for Zhao Zhen to trust him. Almost all those who opposed Lu Yijian chose to form cliques before his disappointing forces, but of course they were not trusted by Zhao Zhen.

Xu Ping also knew this, so he never stood up. There were like-minded people, but no small gang. Xu Ping knew in his heart that as long as the signs of party dispute came out, he would lose Zhao Zhen's trust from then on.

Reform is for success, and for this goal, Xu Ping doesn't mind making some compromises.

After turning over and sorting out the booklets in his hand, Wang Yaochen said to Xu Ping: "There are also places to engrave books in Xijing. Nowadays, movable type is very convenient. Why don't people print these booklets and spend so much effort to copy them?"

"As soon as the book is printed, it will be difficult for us to control whoever it is. It is not time yet, so it is not easy to let this book flow to the people. First copy some and show it to those who should read it. Boyong, the court has been in trouble recently, and many things are not clear. We should be more cautious and not show the handle for others to seize it. In my opinion, it is best to focus on this "Prosperity of the Country and the People" and do not ask about anything in the court. What we do is something that benefits the country and the people, and no one can say anything. When we have the opportunity, we will give the court a great contribution."

"Sitting on the mountain to see success or failure, alas, I have to do this now." Wang Yaochen sighed and continued to flip through the booklet on the table. He was a kind gentleman, neither interested nor interested in political struggles.

However, Xu Ping did not sit in the mountains to observe success or failure. Not participating in court struggles was his rational choice. If he approached Lu Yijian, he offended the people who were anti-Lu now, and the energy of these people would be beyond imagination in more than ten years. Whether in and out, they occupied the mainstream. This is the conclusion he got from his memories of his previous life. The current main force of anti-Lu has a heavy position in history. Participating in the overthrow of Lu, he will inevitably be labeled as a gentleman. This is what Zhao Zhen is most taboo and is harmful to himself. At this time, those who unite to oppose Lu Yijian were basically valued in history in Zhao Zhen's later years, and Xu Ping knew it clearly.

So the wisest thing is that Xu Ping is to compile his own "Plan for Governance and Security of the People". When the political struggles in the court are clear, he decides what measures he should take to implement the new policy.

Li Shen came over and said to Xu Ping: "Du Cao, let's see until the end of the year. I will go back to Mengzhou these days. I will not let go of the chores at the end of the year. I will also see Mengzhou's new policy, and I will go back and arrange it."

"Okay, now that there is a first draft, everyone will take a closer look at what we didn't expect or even fallacies, so that we can modify it in time. We are not forgiving people at the age of time, and Mr. Li is old and his energy is no longer as good as before. It depends on you in Mengzhou."

Li Shen said: "Du Cao is at ease. I will definitely do things in Mengzhou well and there will be no trouble. Also, Mr. Li mentioned before that when the book we compiled has a draft, I will bring him a book to him and take a look at it and learn more about the new policy."

Xu Ping smiled and said, "This is probably true, but the books copied now are all under the charge of Deputy Envoy Yang. No matter who takes them, they must record their names from him, even me is no exception. Go and find Deputy Envoy Yang and ask him to write a document, and you can take away a book."

"The official understands it, so he goes to find Deputy Envoy Yang."

The matter must be taken care of by a dedicated person. This is Xu Ping's habit. Li Shen has adapted. The book has not been finalized yet, and after it is spread, I don't know what kind of discussion it will cause and affect the process of editing the book, so Xu Ping strictly prohibits the flow of the book. Even the heads of various prefectures and counties are watching, and Zhong Shiheng takes the book to various places and brings back opinions from various places. Li Di's special identity is, of course, an exception. He is willing to read this book, which is his kindness to Xu Ping.

Watching Li Shen leave, Xu Ping said to Wang Yaochen: "It's the end of the year. The court should be calm for a while. We can also arrange things for the next year with confidence. Henan Prefecture had a severe drought last spring and summer and flooded in autumn. This year's agricultural work must be arranged in advance."

Wang Yaochen said: "I have already ordered people to do it, but now the newly opened canal has already been shipped. There is a shortage of water in spring, and water diversion and irrigation will inevitably affect the water volume of the canal. This is a dilemma, and I have to ask you how to deal with it."

"As soon as the canal is opened, it will never be cut off, otherwise the impact will be too bad. The water diversion is nothing more than the water in the Luo River, mainly Shou'an, Yanshi, Henan and Luoyang counties. You can send people to let these places not boil more paddy fields, even if the government subsidizes some money and grain. As long as the paddy fields are not boiled, the impact will not be great. The newly built dam in Gongxian and Shui stored a lot of floods last autumn, which is enough to supply the Caohe River below Shakou, and does not require water from the Luo River."

The economic center, especially the current industrial and commercial center, is the lifeblood of Luoyang, and water transportation is the most important mode of transportation. The canal that leads Luo to Bian cannot be cut off anyway. You cannot store water after dam building, so you will try your best to open fields and plant rice upstream. Especially in Yanshi and Henan counties, paddy fields must be controlled.
