In the Zichen Palace, Li Mian, the prime minister who was originally the governor of the Yongping Army and now the minister of the disciple, heard the emperor's idea, because he had been in the Central Plains before and knew that the benefits of this move were extraordinary, so he quickly picked up the tablet and advised him, and asked the Holy Lord to think twice before acting. At least it would not be too late to discuss it after reaching a consensus with Han Huan, the governor of the Zhenhai Army.

The emperor asked another prime minister Zhang Yanshang. Zhang was already in the same spirit as the emperor, so he agreed with Du You's plan, saying that 30,000 soldiers from all towns could be sent, and 50,000 poor households in various states could be hired for eight months to one year to clear the gap and achieve great achievements for thousands of years.

"Your Majesty, Cai Shui's former ministers have sent Yongping, and the soldiers of Xuanwu's army have dredged it, so there is no need to worry about this matter for the time being. If the situation really needs to be set up in the future, it will not be too late to discuss it." Li Mian could only "get out of the way", hoping to temporarily stabilize the turmoil of the emperor.

But Li Shi said that the only place for the Caishui dredging was enough, so he had to immediately dredge Yingkou and Jiminggang. "Once the Jiminggang was dug through, the waterway was connected, and the transfer and patrol were set up in Dongguan (now Chao County, Anhui Province, Hanshan, which is the famous Ruxu Pass during the Three Kingdoms period). From then on, the rice and grain from Jianghan, Jingnan, Hunan, Lingnan, and even the southeast could be gathered in Dongguan and then sent to Chang'an from Honggu. How wonderful!"

Then Li Shi stood up excitedly from the seat of the rope bed, and wanted to write a copy of the imperial letter himself and hand it over to the Hanlin Bachelor's College to draft the document: I want to appoint Cui Zao as the new Huaiying Transportation Envoy, and he will personally operate the dredging and set up a patrol institution.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this matter involves Huaixi, Ziqing, Xuanwu, Zhenhai, Yongping and other towns. You must be cautious. Your Majesty... You might as well wait until the ambassador Xiao Zhonglang returns." The emperor kept giving orders back and forth, and the poor Li Mian followed the emperor's pace and kept persuading him.

At this moment, outside the south wall of Daming Palace, Liu Yan, who was not in a state of light, threw the noise and quarrels in the palace behind him, led a steady mare, and took his servant Wanda, on the bustling streets, heading towards the East City and Xingqing Palace.

"It smells so good." Liu Yan's beard curled up twice, and soon smelled the smell coming out of the walls of Chongrenfang. He couldn't help but sigh, "Old Hu'er is now in Cui Ning's shogunate. I really didn't expect that there would be such a fragrant food in the capital."

Wanda said, "It was the master, you only ate the steamed Husbands of An Lao Hu'er before (you don't know that there are too many delicacies you have never tried in Chang'an).

Liu Yan smiled and took out a bunch of money from his arms, preparing to ask Wanda to buy it for him, but then he thought, "Yes, Wanda, I don't have a real official position now, I can go in and eat happily, and I will no longer have to be afraid of the investigation of the palace."

So Liu Yan called Wanda, and our master and servant went to the shop together to stroll.

"Yan Xiang." A familiar voice came.

Liu Yan turned around and saw that Liu Changqing, who had just finished the court, met him by chance. He was standing respectfully on the street and saluting him.

"You're a study, don't you have to be straight today?"

"What's the point of being straight or not? The Ministry of Rites of the Southern Province has always been known as the "Ice Hall", and even the censor who was in charge of the inspector was too lazy to come."

It turned out that among the six ministries in the Southern Province, the most deserted offices of the Ministry of Rites (after all, it is not a real power department), he got the nickname "Ice Hall" - Liu Changqing, who was a doctor in the sacred department here, could not stand the loneliness, and took advantage of the opportunity to do nothing to come to Chongrenfang, the most prosperous Chang'an City, and Pingkangfang.

Liu Yan laughed loudly, then pointed at Liu Changqing and said, since the study is here, you might as well go to the shop with me to drink and drink delicious food, "I have to pay for the wine money in the study."

"It's natural for Yan Xiang. I, Liu Changqing, have always been outside as an inspector, Sima, and governor. Now the money is enough to be free and easy in Chang'an City."

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the noise of the formation - I saw a group of people walking out of the opposite yard, holding flags and heading towards the Daming Palace with great momentum.

"The Navy in Xuanrun Town came out of the Fengyuan." Liu Changqing muttered.

Liu Yan suddenly understood what was going on, and said he didn't care about it. Then he stroked Changqing's back and said, "The study, although the Ministry of Rites is an ice hall, the monthly salary is 50,000 yuan. You just stay there for two or three years, don't get involved in the disputes between the court - you are also hoping to pay a few more times for alcohol!"

Then the two talked and laughed, and Wanda kept scratching his back with a straw stick, quickly disappeared among the crowd in Chongrenfang, Chang'an...

Three days later, in the Daming Palace, shrouded in the morning light, Du You walked out from the east and west courts of Hanyuan Hall, facing his back to the majestic three halls. He had just received the emperor's edict and was dismissed from the position of Minister of Revenue, and went out to Raozhou, West Road, Jiangnan to serve as the governor, and set off immediately.

Previously, Han Huan's Fengyuan, who was in the capital, heard the news and contacted the Fengyuan in Pinglu, Zhongyuan Xuanwu, Yongping and other towns, and attacked Du You in a large-scale manner, saying that if Du You were not punished, this summer and autumn, the Fengyuan ships at Jingkou would not be sent, and the rice and salt in the patrol would not be sent.

Li Shi immediately panicked and gave Du You to be the governor of Raozhou to apologize, and then calmed down the situation.

"But - evil, is it because I am ruling the country or being a foreign country!" In the Zichen Hall, Li Shi beat the next few tables hard, and the hatred for Han Huan continued to surge.

This round naturally ended with the emperor's complete failure and compromise. Soon, Li Shi's central officials came out of the Ming Palace and began to "report" from various towns and states, and enriched their private warehouses with shameless face.

Li Shi slowly became what he hated the most.

Of course, Li Shi also thought of Xingyuan Mansion. While he asked Huo Zhongtang to ride a horse to get some food, he also remembered the many good things about the third year of high school. He also said that I had adopted Li Mi's suggestion and added the children and Shangyu Mountain Sheds in Beijing to the "Shenwei Army of the Left and Left of the Palace". I specially allocated 300,000 guan of the concierge fee to Xingyuan Mansion as "the money for repairing weapons".

In the city of Xingyuan Prefecture, in Hanchuan under Tianhan Tower, many ships were rotating sails, lingering in the waters with the exclamation of not hitting or hitting, rubbing the side, and then carrying tea, salt, cattle and sheep from the Sanchuan area, as well as local herbs, wood, and Brassica oil, heading towards Jianghan and Eyue in a steady stream, and brocade from Shu, beautiful jade from Jingxiang, and silk blankets from Xuanzhou far away appeared in the market in Xingyuan Prefecture.

In the already bustling market, Acuo was wearing a bright, beautiful half-armed jacket, a basket of food on his head, and a whizzing windmill on it, giggling, running through the long thoroughfare, into the alleyway of Zicheng Government, and then into the backyard official house.
