Zhao Si stayed in Tianjin for a few days, waiting for the imperial concubine Ming, Gong Concubine He, Shu Concubine Yelu and several princes and princesses. They would take a few days later to walk the Yongji Canal.

On this day, Zhao Si took Changsun Moli, Zeng Baohua, Xue Yugui and others out of Tianjin City to inspect the Beijin Canal construction site.

Tens of thousands of civilians, under the guidance of construction engineers, were divided into hundreds of groups and were busy.

Some are digging soil, loading it on cranes, lifting it up, piled it on both sides of the river embankment, and strengthening it as a foundation; some are pouring reinforced concrete to form the skeleton of the river embankment slope; some are carrying stones and piled on the river embankment; some are transporting cement, sand and mixed soil, pouring it between the gaps of the stone...

Everything is very orderly, well organized and extremely efficient.

"Your Majesty, we need huge soil and bricks and stones to build a large construction in Beiping City, so a huge depression was dug between the three counties of Yongqing, Anci and Wuqing. Part of the soil was transported by water to Beiping City to fill the interior of the city wall; part of it was used to fire bricks and tiles. It is expected that this depression would be about thirty miles in a radius."

"We have planned that before and after the completion of the construction of the Beiping City, the water of the Sanggan River was gradually introduced into it and stored into a lake. First, it is used for the adjustment of the Sanggan River, and it is used for the flood storage and drought release; second, it is used for the storage of water for the Beijin Canal. Although the water volume of the Lu River is stable, it is also seasonal. At that time, water can be directly transferred from this lake. Third, after the development of the Beiping City, the population will increase dramatically and a large amount of water is required. This lake can be prepared for unexpected reasons."

Zeng Baohua said slowly. He was one of the few insiders who knew that Zhao Si was determined to move the capital.

Xue Yugui didn't know the inside story, but he was a smart man, and he stood aside and listened silently.

“Where is this lake?”

"If you go back to your Majesty, you will be near the lower reaches of the Sorghum River."

"Gaoliang River? Well, this artificial lake is called Desheng Lake." Zhao Si decided.

Seeing that everyone did not object, they signaled Zeng Baohua to continue.

"Your Majesty, we were planning to intercept the Wuyang River and the upper reaches of the Sanggan River in Huailai, and form two artificial lakes in Miyun River, Baiyu River and Heihe River. But after several arguments, we gave up."

"Oh, what did you think about it?"

"First of all, the difficulty of starting construction there is much higher than the current lake. Secondly, these two places are condescending. If something unexpected happens, someone will open these two reservoirs. The city of Peiping, located in the downstream, will be a country of terrain."

Zhao Si looked at Zeng Baohua and then at Changsun Moli. He knew that this concern should have been raised by Changsun Moli. Because from the perspective of his thinking and thinking from a hostile perspective, he could really take action against these two reservoirs.

Zhao Si looked at the world in the distance with his hands behind his back, and fell into thinking.

He has always insisted on moving the capital and has indeed made many considerations.

First of all, in the next thirty to fifty years, digesting and integrating the northern desert and the northeastern regions is the top priority of the Song Dynasty.

How to digest and fusion? Of course, it is to pull and beat.

All kinds of means such as economy, religion, and culture have been used together to break the old shackles of tribes, clans, and other tribes, allowing the people of all ethnic groups in the north and northeast to gradually identify with the Song Dynasty and willingly integrate into the Song Dynasty.

To fight means to weaken the strength of the two banners of the northern desert and the northeast as much as possible. To draw young and strong men and launch a Western Expedition regularly is one of the established strategies.

Whether it is pulling or fighting, Beiping City is an important fulcrum covering the northern and northeastern Mobei - military, economic, cultural and religious centers. _o_m                                                                                                         �

In addition, the Beijin Canal connects the northern transit center - Tianjin City and Tanggu Port, Beiping City is enough to assume its responsibilities - the land route connects to the northeast, the northern desert, and even the Jinshan Mountains, the Western Regions, the sea route connects the south and overseas, and the canal connects to the Central Plains. It can completely become the heart of the New Song Dynasty.

But before this, it must be ensured that its safety is - because during the digestion and integration process, there will definitely be people in the northern desert and northeastern tribes rebelling under various banners.

Zhao Si turned around, nodded and praised Zeng Baohua and Changsun Moli, "You have thought it through very carefully!"

"Thank you for your praise."

Chapter 106: Believe people with reason

Zhao Si waved his hand and continued: "Recently, many people have expressed confusion about the imperial court's huge investment and the construction of many canals, and even opposed it very fiercely. Have you received relevant information?"

Changsun Moli, Zeng Baohua, and Xue Yugui looked at each other, nodded, and replied in unison: "Reply to Your Majesty's words, you will receive relevant news."

Xue Yugui also told several situations, "A few days ago, several groups of people gathered at the canal construction site, pulling banners, shouting slogans, and interfering with construction. I don't know where they learned this trick, and sent police to expel or arrest them, but they did not stop the construction, did not do any damage, and they did not violate the law. Moreover, they were all in groups of nine people, each group was five meters apart..."

Zeng Baohua was amused when he heard this, "This must be a master's advice, and he was an expert who had read the law. He even studied the illegal gathering clauses in the "Criminal Code of Congregation" - no more than ten people, each with five meters apart, and no declaration is required, that is, it is a legal gathering... Haha, even those literati and poets have never been so attentive."

Xue Yugui said with a bitter face: "Isn't it? If you don't gather illegally, you can't disperse or arrest it. There is no way out. But no matter what, they are like groups of flies, surrounding the construction site, making the civilians and engineers uneasy and affecting the progress, which is annoying!"

Zeng Baohua clapped his hands and said, "These birds! The three major gangs were charged last autumn and winter, killing tens of thousands of people, confiscating and exiling tens of thousands of households. Why are these bastards still appearing!"

Zhao Si pointed to his brother-in-law, "This is a bad thing! You can say it privately, don't say it out in public."

Zeng Baohua was stunned for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, what did you say wrong?"

"It's a big mistake!" Zhao Si said bluntly, "Who are the people who investigated the case of the three major gangs? They are all those who are strongly opposed to the implementation of the new policy because they are not sitting straight. Because the new policy will harm their own interests, they hate the new policy to the core, secretly collude and try their best to obstruct them."

"I will not be polite to these people. If you have different positions and resist stubbornly, you will be enemies. Of course, you must eliminate them all. But we cannot kill all those who have opposition. Some people oppose us because they have different positions; some people oppose us because they have the same positions, but they have different ideas."

"For example, those who currently oppose the construction of canals have the same position as us, for the country and the people. But they don't see the benefits of building canals, they only see that building canals requires huge manpower and material resources. If we eliminate them, what will happen?"

"If you listen to both sides, you will be clear; if you believe in both sides, you will be dark! There is no objection in the court. What will happen if you say one horse at the same time? You will be content with your mistakes and make mistakes without knowing them. In the end, there must be opposition between the court and the public. Only in this way can we warn ourselves and be cautious."

"And from another perspective, "One of our own opinions is limited, and everyone's wisdom is infinite." Collecting ideas and learning from groups of people is a wise move. And these opinions may not necessarily follow us. We should regard these objections as unpleasant advice, and think about it in reverse, do we have to oppose them in any aspect that has not done the right thing to make them opposed?"

"When Yue Zhuoqun of Byzantine returned to his country, he once told me that he discovered that the great Song Dynasty was able to be strong because he inherited the advantages of the former Han and Tang dynasties, embracing all rivers and embracing the old and the new, and thus became a truly powerful civilization. What is the truth that foreigners know? Without tolerance, where does innovation come from? Without innovation, where does development come from?"

Zeng Baohua opened his mouth and finally said embarrassedly: "The official family stands higher than the ministers and others and sees farther. Today's words have benefited me a lot."

Xue Yugui said sincerely: "Your Majesty, this statement is deafening. I ask for a document to be written and let me study hard. Update @ without errors"

Zhao Si pointed to Yuwen Xuzhong, who had been standing aside and said, "Shutong will sort it out and will send it to you at that time."

"Okay, let's go back to the point. Now some people oppose the construction of canals, and the voice is very loud. You are all important officials in Fang Bo who are in charge of local government affairs, and you should know the benefits of building canals. Think about how to explain the truth clearly, explain it thoroughly, and convince those who oppose it."

Zhao Si said in a deep voice: "Politics is to make friends more and enemies less. What is a friend, a person with a Taoist ambition. What is an enemy, a person who is unscheming. How can you become a friend of a Taoist ambition? Of course, it is to convince people with reason and set things on the ground. (This chapter is not finished!)

Chapter 106: Believe people with reason

True, tell the data.”

"Your Majesty, what if he doesn't look at the facts or listen to the data?" Changsun Moli asked.

"That's to oppose it for the sake of opposition. There is a problem with the position. If you sit on the butt, you won't understand any reason. Those people are enemies who are unscheduled!" Zhao Si said firmly. @大全\/Shuge·叶叶叶叶~~.
