"Officials, Lei Abban sent someone to report that he has completed what the officials assigned him."
While Zhang Mao was talking, he sent Lei Yungong's report to Li Jie.
"Well, I understand."
Li Jie waved his hand, saying there was no need for him to read the report.
After taking down the workshop in three days, Lei Yungong was able to do his job reasonably well.
"Send a message and ask Lei Yungong to take down the following works first."
"They are forged work, wood work, sawyer work, iron work, and grinding work."
"By the way, tell him there is no need to rush. I will give him one to two months and make sure to keep it secret."
"yes."
After saying this, Zhang Mao bowed and retreated. He had to convey the news to Lei Yaban as soon as possible.
After he left, Li Jie was the only one left in the inner hall.
During the recent period, he had been attending classes almost all the time, and there was no news about the establishment of the Imperial Medical Bureau and the Taiping Huimin Bureau that Liu E had promised before.
Li Jie guessed that Liu E did this on purpose. She must not have forgotten, and the deliberate delay was just to give herself a beating.
Nowadays, Liu E is the real person in charge. As long as she does not issue an edict, the Imperial Medical Bureau and the Taiping Huimin Bureau will not be built.
Li Jie refused to comment on her petty behavior.
It's so petty.
In fact, Li Jie is not in a hurry now, he is waiting for an opportunity.
He was waiting for Kou Zhun to come back.
Perhaps, Wang Qinruo will be recalled soon.
Wang Qinruo, like Ding Wei, was also from the south. He and Ding Wei were the two giants of southern officials.
To be precise, Wang Qinruo was the first generation, and Ding Wei was the second generation.
The enshrining of the Heavenly Book during the Zhenzong period was the first wave of impact that southern scholars launched against northern scholars.
Wang Qinruo, Ding Wei and other southern scholars used the Book of Heaven to enshrine themselves and successfully joined the Zhongshu, which was controlled by northern scholars.
If Wang Qinruo is really recalled to the capital, it can be foreseen that another round of party struggle is coming.
Liu E's current mentality is probably "I don't feel bad if I sell my cub to my father." Anyway, this world does not belong to her Liu family.
As long as she can keep the power in her hands, Liu E doesn't mind starting a round of chaos in the court.
The harder the northern scholars fought with the southern scholars, the more stable her position became, because she was now the de facto 'referee'.
Whichever side she prefers will gain a temporary advantage.
At that time, whether it is the northern scholar group headed by Kou Zhun or the southern scholar group headed by Ding Wei, they will all have to look at her expression.
The fact was just as Li Jie expected. Although Liu E had no plans to recall Wang Qinruo for the time being, she had already had such an idea in her mind.
Kou Zhun is the banner figure of the Northerners. Even if he is not in the court, his influence will not weaken.
Now, in the eyes of outsiders, Liu E once again had the idea of restoring Kou Zhun to check and balance Ding Wei. As soon as Kou Zhun arrived in Xijing, a large number of northern scholars would surely gather around Kou Zhun.
Once the southern scholars fell into decline during the battle, Liu E would transfer Wang Qinruo back to the capital at any time.
fight!
The harder the fight, the better!
The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman gets the benefit.
The harder they fight, the more stable their position becomes.
As for the common people, what should we do?
Liu E really didn't think about it much.
In her opinion, as long as people follow the rules, life will not be too difficult for the people.
Besides, since the alliance was signed with the Liao Kingdom, there has been no war in the world for a long time. How can the common people not survive?
Those who cannot survive are simply suffering from disaster.
If there is a disaster somewhere, disaster relief will be provided at that time.
Just like the flood disaster in Xiuzhou in the first month of this year, just deal with it.
Although there is not much money left in the inner treasury, the inner treasury does not have much money, which does not mean that the left treasury (under the third division, the national treasury) has no money.
Even if Zuozang's treasury is out of money, the state capitals still have minister's treasury and Xianyu.
(Local finance in the early Northern Song Dynasty was divided into three parts, namely, offering to the central government, sending envoys and staying in the state. The offering was handed over to the central government, the envoys were handed over to the transfer envoys, and the remaining states were left in the local states.
The Transportation Department was initially responsible for the supply of grain and grass, and later took charge of finance, supervision, justice, etc., similar to the provincial party committee)
In short, Guochao's family background is still very strong and he is not afraid of messing around.
If there is really a financial difficulty, then let all parties send more money. If there is a civil commotion or something like that, recruit people into the Xiang army in various places.
…
…
…
In the blink of an eye, May is here as scheduled.
On this day, a big event happened at Zhenzong's imperial mausoleum.
One of the two imperial sites originally surveyed was flooded!
When Lei Yungong heard the news, he was so frightened that his face turned pale.
The next second, he immediately knelt down in the direction of Jingzhong and kowtowed heavily.
Thanks to the official for the reminder!
Otherwise, his life may not be guaranteed.
Not long after, Lan Jizong, Wang Chengxun, Zhang Jingzong, Lei Yungong and other high-ranking servants all gathered in the royal palace above the water.
Looking at the gurgling spring water, everyone's faces were frighteningly cold.
Immediately afterwards, their eyes all turned to look at the same person!
Judge Xing Zhonghe!
This new imperial land was excavated according to Xing Zhonghe's suggestion.
Being stared directly at by a group of senior chamberlains, even though Xing Zhonghe had the Queen Mother as his backer, he couldn't help but break out in cold sweats.
Under pressure, Xing Zhonghe had to take the initiative to speak.
"Dear envoys, I mentioned beforehand that there might be water here."
"Now, there is indeed water here."
"Thanks to Reabban for suggesting excavation in both places at the same time. Otherwise, it would be too late. I'll wait... I'll wait..."
As soon as these words came out, several heads of chamberlain present looked at Lei Yungong.
No matter what they thought of Lei Yungong before, now their eyes are more or less kind.
If it weren't for Lei Yungong's suggestion, they would have suffered a disaster.
Water coming out of the palace is definitely an ominous sign.
Fortunately, there was no water in the other palace. Otherwise, everyone present would have suffered.
At this moment, Lei Yungong felt extremely comfortable.
Lan Jizong, Zhang Jingzong, and Wang Chengxun were all his seniors. Even Wang Chengxun, who was in the same class as him, had far more seniority than him.
Now that something like this has happened, they will all remember his affection to some extent. From now on, his status in the palace will be completely stable.
Of course, the premise is that the Queen Mother is not offended.
To take a step back, even if the Queen Mother discovered something, he wouldn't be very worried.
With the official methods, the day when he takes charge will not be too far away.
As long as the officials take charge, he will surely rise to the top.
Not long after, Lan Jizong, the oldest and highest-ranking man, took the lead to speak.
"Report this matter as soon as possible. What do you think?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present echoed in unison.
"Everything is decided by Lan Duzhi."
After a while, two fast horses set off from the Shanling station and galloped towards the capital.
