The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

Zhao Ji hugged his daughter and laughed. Yang Lin took the opportunity to take a peek at them. The two girls were about two or three years old. The two baby fat faces were very cute. Their ages should be Zhao Fujin, the emperor of Maode, and Zhao Jinluo, the emperor of Ander. .

Yang Lin was suddenly blessed, and secretly found an empty letter to ask the officials to change the princess into the emperor's concubine, which would probably make the elegant Zhao Ji happy.

This was originally Cai Jing's idea, and it seemed that he was going to poach his corner in advance again.

Taking advantage of the emperor's happiness, Yang Lin said, "Your Majesty, at the turn of the spring and summer last year, the river channel collapsed and the ocean spread for thousands of miles. The people in the west of Beijing were in dire straits, and the people in and around the Bian River were starving and dying. In order to avoid the tragedy from happening again, I proposed to add a river channel governor's yamen. , set up a chief officer, who is responsible for dispatching and controlling the river throughout the year. From the upstream to the estuary, unified management and constant management will save tens of millions of people along the way from flooding as soon as possible."

Zhao Ji thought that Bianliang almost ran out of food last year, if Yang Lin hadn't been good at turning the crisis into safety, something big would have happened.

With lingering fear in his heart, Zhao Ji nodded and said: "This statement is not bad. Yang Qing once tried his best to control the river in the flood. Is there anyone in my heart for the post of Governor of River Control?"

"Zongze, the general judge of Xiezhou, is good at this way. If he takes on this important task, he will definitely fulfill his mission."

Zhao Ji didn't know who Zong Ze was, and the general judge was still a temporary promotion, but since Yang Lin, who had just made great achievements and had nothing to reward, proposed, Zhao Ji readily agreed.

Next, Yang Lin had to go to Cai Jing's place to walk around, otherwise it would be useless to have the emperor's consent.

Fortunately, the interests involved in this matter are not big, and the governor of the river is not a small name, but it is a thankless job. Besides, all the officials in the court and the central government have fertile land in Kaifeng, and the river regulation is also a good thing for them.

It is estimated that Zong Ze will be able to assume the post of governor of the river in a short time.

After Zhao Ji said a few words, he brought up the matter of Xianjie again, his words were vague, and he wanted to put forward some ideas of his own several times.

Yang Lin couldn't stop laughing secretly, this guy wanted to show off, and he could come up with some good ideas, for example, he wanted his appearance to be different.

Yang Lin rolled his eyes and said, "Your Majesty is the Lord of the Heavenly Heavens. On the day of the victory, there will be fairy mist and auspicious auspiciousness from the sky. What's the problem? Your Majesty can leave it to the servants to make the arrangements. Just wait and see."

Zhao Ji was overjoyed and gave Yang Lin the painting of six stones that had just been drawn.

Chapter 196

In Bianliang City, there are skilled craftsmen, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

With Yang Lin's order, the Long Live Camp invited all the great fireworks craftsmen near Kaifeng Mansion to Zhaodefang.

The craftsmen had never seen such a big official, and they gathered in Zhaodefang to fidget and wait nervously for Yang Lin to come.

Yang Lin rolled up his sleeves, pressed his hands and said with a smile: "Everyone is a famous fireworks maker, have you heard of rockets?"

The word rocket appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty, when military officers Yue Yifang and Feng Jisheng created flying weapons powered by gunpowder.

This kind of rocket is composed of arrow body and cartridge. The cartridge is made of bamboo and thick paper, filled with gunpowder, the front end is sealed, and the fuse is drawn out from the rear end. The reaction force of the gas pushes the rocket forward, killing and injuring enemy soldiers in flight.

With the rapid development of science and technology in later generations, the lethality of rockets has been greatly enhanced, but the principle is still the same as the rockets in the Northern Song Dynasty, and then the jet generates power.

A thin old man stepped forward and said, "Could it be the rockets used by the Forbidden Army?"

"Yes."

When everyone heard this, they were all a little eager to try their own old business. Rockets are simply too simple. All the fireworks must be emptied now, otherwise they will not be sold at all.

Yang Lin smiled and said, "I want the one that doesn't explode, as long as it goes up into the air with something, the higher it goes, the better."

After everyone heard this, they all patted their chests and said, "Don't worry, Shaozai, mere rockets are not a problem."

Yang Lin thought to himself, on the day of presenting the victory, Lao Tzu gathered the petals from all the flower gardens in Bianliang and showered Zhao Ji with flowers all over the sky, the artist emperor would definitely be overjoyed.

Just thinking about it, Yang San came in outside and said loudly: "Da Lang, there are guests coming outside."

"Who?"

"Gao Qiu, Gao Taiwei."

Yang Lin frowned and said to himself, "Gao Qiu, why is he looking for me?"

Came to the flower hall, Gao Qiu was sitting in the hall, holding a teacup, when he saw Yang Lin coming out, he got up and said: "Young Shaozai Yang, the uninvited guest came to bother you, I still look at Haihan."

"Haha, what did the Taiwei say? It's too late for the honored guest, Mr. Yang, to be happy."

Reach out and don't slap the smiling face, everyone is fighting to the death behind their backs, and you should be polite in front of face.

Gao Qiu said with a smile: "Young Zai, I was told by Shao Zai earlier that I transferred the dog to Zhengzhou to train the soldiers who have won victories. I am here today to thank you."

After he clapped his hands, a few servants came in carrying a few boxes, and the left and right were nothing but gold, silver and jewels.

Behind them are six young girls of thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing emerald green shirts and wearing double buns. They are generally dressed like maidservants, but they all look very iconic.

Yang Lin said with a smile: "You are too polite, this official is just to appoint talents and talents, to be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, and to share the worries of His Majesty."

With a slight wave of her hand, Li Yunniang behind her ordered the servants in the yard to carry the box in, and took the six maidservants to the backyard.

Gao Qiu's servants also retreated, and then he lowered his voice and said, "Eunuch Liang from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, asked me to give Shao Zai a word, if it is useful, Shao Zai can speak up. "

Yang Lin almost choked on a sip of tea, and after swallowing, his face sank like water. After thinking for a long time, he said: "The expenses of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have always been drawn from the Ministry of Households. Now the Long Live Camp has more than one silver coin, which is used as an internal treasury for His Majesty. It is used. After all, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the place to serve the emperor, and if Eunuch Liang does not abandon it, the Long Live Camp is willing to contribute [-]%."

Gao Qiu almost jumped up, you are too ignorant of flattery, you will give [-]% if Liang Shicheng speaks up?

You know, as long as Liang Shicheng no longer fights against the Long Live Camp, the income of the Long Live Camp will more than double.

What's more, Liang Shicheng revealed the meaning of cooperation. In this way, relying on the combination of the two forces, he will easily have the energy to squeeze Da Song dry.

According to historical statistics, there are more than 100 real power bureaus controlled by Liang Shicheng. Even in the Song Dynasty, there were a lot of redundant officials. One hundred real power government offices are also a force that should not be underestimated.

But Yang Lin didn't want to work with this old eunuch to squeeze out the people of Song Dynasty. What's the use of saving so much money?

Is it possible to help the Jin people save up, so that it is convenient for them to grab it?

Gao Qiu left Zhaodefang in disgrace, and went straight to the Ministry of Internal Affairs without returning home. Liang Shicheng had just returned from the emperor and was washing his face.

Gao Qiu followed his breath and bowed respectfully: "Mr. Enfu."

"How is it?" Liang Shicheng asked softly while letting the maid clean her face.

"That Yang Lin is extremely arrogant, he doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, he"

Liang Shicheng's voice gradually became colder, and he said, "What did he say?"

"He is willing to give [-]%."

With a bang, Liang Shicheng slapped the porcelain basin in the maid's hand to the ground, causing her to hang her hands aside and tremble in fright.

Gao Qiu's heart softened, he winked, told the maid to back down, stepped forward and said: "I have been talking to him for a long time, but the boy just excused and said that the cost is very high, [-]% is still taken from him."

Liang Shicheng wiped his face dry, squinted his eyes and said nothing, Gao Qiu suddenly felt a little chilly.

The eunuchs in the Song Dynasty did not have much power at the beginning, mainly from the middle of the Tang Dynasty until the end of the Tang Dynasty, the domineering eunuchs of the inner court reached a peak.

At that time, the eunuchs acted recklessly and lawlessly. They killed the emperor and concubines casually, and establishing a new emperor was as simple as drinking water.Compared with them, the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to being famous, were just a group of children in terms of power and crimes.
