A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 335: Take Action, Father and Son Argue

Shen An left Bao Zheng's duty room and was stared at all the way.

While he was talking to Bao Zheng, the news had already come out.

——Shen An fought against the emperor and his ministers in front of the emperor, urging the Yellow River to flow naturally, and then bet his own future to free Bao Zheng.

Such a young man...

"It's not for nothing that Prime Minister Bao treats him so well."

"He is taking risks and is very reckless, but why do you think he is just?"

"That's because... there are few of them, right?"

"Well, I think so too."

"Hey! Judge Wang has passed by?"

Wang Anshi walked side by side with Shen An before he went out.

After a few words of greeting, Wang Anshi asked: "Why do you agree with the Northward Movement?"

There was a door ahead. Shen An couldn't explain it in detail, so he said, "I support letting nature take its course."

This is the Yellow River, not the small ditch at the doorstep.

Diversion?

By then you will know how powerful water is, yet soft and indestructible.

Wang Anshi followed him out and was about to ask in detail when he saw dozens of big men coming in front.

Menzi exclaimed from behind: "It's a personal official of the Imperial City Department!"

The personal servants of the Imperial City Division are synonymous with fierce soldiers, and their power is higher than that of the personal servants.

These personal officials approached and stared at the door with sharp eyes: "Go and report to Xianggong Bao quickly, the Imperial City Department wants to arrest someone!"

The doorman responded in panic and crawled in to report.

Wang Anshi forgot his original intention of coming out and asked: "Who to take?"

A close officer stared at him and asked sinisterly: "Who are you?"

Most people would have been frightened when they heard about the Imperial City Sina people, but Wang Anshi frowned and asked, which was surprising.

"A certain Wang Anshi."

The official said coldly: "It's none of your business. If you don't accept it, you can follow me!"

These words are so straight forward that it makes people feel uncomfortable.

Seeing that Wang Anshi looked unhappy, Shen An said, "Many officials were involved in the Liuta River project back then... The Third Division was the hardest hit area."

The financial management of the third division is naturally the hardest hit area for bribery.

That's why the Imperial City Division came with great fanfare and dozens of personal officials.

Then someone came and took these people inside.

Wang Anshi looked ugly and asked: "Are there so many people?"

Shen An said: "This was confessed by a businessman. If all those wealthy businessmen were arrested and tortured, Judge Wang...how many people would be left in the Third Division?"

This big boss's subsequent innovations were extremely hasty, but he did not consider the virtues of officials, and as a result he was passive everywhere.

This time I want to show you the peeing behavior of the officials of the Song Dynasty!

"Help... Bao Xiang... Bao Xiang, help!"

"The villain is wrong, the villain is wrong!"

A group of officials were taken out, some were crying endlessly, some had weak legs and could not walk, some were impassioned, and some were dull...

"It's so ugly!"

Wang Anshi shook his head. It was a pity that such scum appeared in the official ranks.

Shen An raised his eyebrows and said: "Judge Wang, this is nothing. If you go to the Imperial City Department to observe the interrogation, I guarantee that you will have an eye-opening experience."

If it's a comparison of talent, then Wang Anshi is naturally more powerful, but compared to his understanding of human nature, Wang Anshi is not as good as Shen An.

An officer who was escorted out suddenly shouted: "X wants to report X. Back then, X's superior got more money than X. I won't accept it if I don't arrest him, I won't accept it!"

hehe!

Shen An chuckled and left quietly.

Wang Anshi was very depressed. After returning home from the office, he saw Wang Yu frowning and thinking beside him, so he asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Wang Yu flapped the folding fan a few times and said, "Dad, those students at Taixue study too hard. They usually sleep for two or three hours every day. The children are worried that they won't be able to bear it for a long time."

Wang Anshi heard this and said, "This is a good thing."

Head cantilevering is always something to be encouraged, but even more so now.

Wang Anshi thought of what happened today and couldn't help but said: "The Yellow River can stop people from the north from going south, but it should flow east again!"

He keenly discovered the current situation of the Song Dynasty army and felt that it was no match for the Liao people, so he later insisted on changing the course of the Yellow River.

But Wang Yu said in surprise: "Dad, that's the Yellow River!"

Wang Anshi said angrily: "It's the Yellow River you're talking about! If there was no Yellow River, the Liao people would have fought all the way here."

In his opinion, if it had not been for the Yellow River as a natural line of defense, the Liao people would have collapsed southward.

Can the Song Dynasty stop an unobstructed assault?

Wang Anshi said: "Liao people are always uncomfortable when talking about the Yellow River, because they are worried about being blocked when they reach the edge of the Yellow River."

These words indirectly prove the Song Dynasty's confusion and fear of losing the land of Youyan.

Without the Great Wall and the mountains as a barrier, once the war started, it would be a close-quarters battle. Once the enemy was victorious, they would be able to break into the interior of the Song Dynasty, making it difficult to resist.

But if there is the Yellow River as a defense, the Liao people will be dumbfounded when they attack all the way to the Yellow River. You can't fly over with men and horses, right?

When the time comes, I will burn the boat and leave you staring at me from the other side of the river.

By the time you come out with the built ship, the Song Dynasty has already set up a defense line on the shore. By then, it will capsize your ship.

This is the wishful thinking of the people who support the Yellow River flowing eastward, but they don't know how easy it will be for the Jin people to cross the river in the future, and no one will pay attention to it at all.

Wang Yu tapped his palms with a folding fan and said: "Dad, the water flow is natural. Unless a wide river channel thousands of miles long is dug manually, it is absolutely impossible..."

Thousands of miles of river, how big a project is that?

The Song Dynasty could not afford it, and no one could afford it.

Wang Anshi said calmly: "Just dredge the Ergu River."

Wang Qi covered his forehead and said, "Dad, this is taking a risk."

Wang Anshi said calmly: "How can we do anything without taking risks? As long as we can stop the Liao people, the Song Dynasty can calmly innovate. When the internal stability is stable, the money and grain are piled up like mountains, and the soldiers and horses are strong... then the Song Dynasty is about to cross the river. !”

His Wanyan Book is constantly being revised and he is always unsatisfied.

He felt that the reform would not be smooth sailing. Once there was a shock, foreign enemies would take the opportunity to invade.

So there must be a stable environment.

The Yellow River was a natural line of defense that could bring stability to the Song Dynasty.

Wang Yu felt that his father was very strange, so he really looked at Wang Anshi with the eyes of a stranger, and then suppressed the feeling of sadness and said: "Dad, come to the Liuta River again... The Song Dynasty and the North ?"

Wang Anshi said unnaturally: "The Liuta River was just not built securely that time."

Just not reliable?

Wang Yu's hands were shaking, indicating that he was angry.

But with his father in front of him, he never dared to get angry, so he took a few hard breaths and said, "Dad, the Liuta River cannot cross the Yellow River. Just like the current Ergu River, forcibly changing its course will only lead to a big disaster." disaster……"

Wang Anshi frowned and said, "Where does this fallacy come from?"

"This is not unreasonable!"

Wang Yu was really angry, "How can a river that is 20% wide cross the Yellow River? This is... this is ignorance!"

Wang Anshi's face was livid, and he couldn't help but want to wave away his right hand. Finally, he held back and said coldly: "Who taught you this?"

Wang Yu took a deep breath and said, "It's Brother An Bei."

Wang Anshi sarcastically said: "He is right about everything? This is not you."

Wang Yu never believed in any authority. He believed that he was the smartest person in the world, so he had nothing to lose.

After Wang Anshi said this, he regretted it and felt that his emotion was wrong.

An inherent concept was broken. Let alone Wang Anshi, even Fan Zhongyan would lose his composure when he came.

Wang Yu was very angry. He said: "There is nothing wrong with what Brother An Bei said. What he taught makes sense... The truth is the truth that can withstand verification. Dad, do you know what flow rate is? Do you know What is flow? Do you know the impact of the cross section of the river on the flow rate?"

He gradually raised his head and said in a fierce tone: "Did you know? Everything should be verified, analyzed, and decided before it can be implemented, instead of the monarch and his ministers just patting their heads together and wanting to dredge the Ergu River."

This is an arrogant son, a son who has no children left.

Verification, analysis, decision-making...

Three steps, very simple three steps.

But the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty squatted in Bianliang City and made the decision to dredge the Ergu River based on only that little information. What is this?

This is a joke about Da Song's future.

Wang Yu felt that the tone was not very good, so he lowered his voice: "Dad, have you checked it? Have you been to both the north and the south? There is also the Ergu River. Do you think the Ergu River can support the Yellow River from flooding in the future?"

Check the thread!

After listening to it for a while, I thought it should be like this.

Wang Yu thought of Shen An's words and whispered: "Scholars pride themselves on knowing everything about the world without going out, but how can things in the world be so simple?"

Wang Anshi felt that his anger had reached Tianling Gai, and he would beat someone up the next moment.

He tried hard to suppress the anger in his chest and said calmly: "The Yellow River broke its banks just because of the sedimentation in the river. If the two directions in the northeast run parallel and the river water is slow, the sedimentation will be faster..."

This is his theoretical support.

If the river flow is slow, sedimentation will accelerate.

He couldn't help but feel competitive and wanted to see how his son could argue with him.

Wang Yu raised his head and suddenly smiled, very confidently.

Wang Anshi's heart skipped a beat, and then he thought about what he had just said, but found no problem.

"Dad, the north direction is condescending. If we all go to the north river, the river flow will be faster and the effect of washing away the sediment will be greater... Why insist on the east direction?"

The Yellow River flows from high to low in the north, and its speed is naturally fast.

Going east means climbing uphill, so how can we go faster?

Wang Anshi couldn't help being surprised and speechless, his face turned red.

He felt a little embarrassed and said: "Is the north condescending? It is currently unknown."

Wang Yu smiled and said, "Just check it out."

This was another hard blow.

You don't even check, but you dare to decide to change the course of the Yellow River again. What does this mean?

are you crazy?

Wang Anshi coughed dryly and said, "Who told you this?"

Wang Yu said naturally: "It's Brother An Bei..."

"he?"

Him again?

Wang Anshi was a little overwhelmed by his son's two heavy blows, so he said with a straight face: "These are all empty words, wait until they are verified."

This is to treat others the same way you treat them.

Wang Anshi felt a little proud and went out with a smile.

"Alang, there is a junior official kowtowing outside the imperial city and asking to see the official."

There was no cooking at home today. A servant went to buy food and came back with the latest gossip.

No matter which dynasty or generation, UU Reading www.uukanshu.nett It is impossible for a petty official to see the emperor. If the emperor is so easy to see, then he will not do anything.

Wang Anshi said casually: "The officials will not see him."

If there is any grievance, the relevant yamen will naturally take over the matter instead of Zhao Zhen coming to personally interrogate it.

"What happened to the Six Pagoda River back then, and why the Yellow River flows northward... That person seems to have traveled all over the rivers in the northeast and knows everything about the Yellow River..."

Seeing Wang Anshi staring outside blankly, the servant said, "Alang, shall we have dinner now?"

"Alang?"

Wang Anshi said nothing, but turned around slowly.

Wang Yu stood in the courtyard, his eyes indifferent.
