The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

Just like this time, straightening the canal was originally a long-term solution, but I was not in a hurry.The land of Hebei has been poor for 100 years, and it will not happen overnight to want to change.Since I stepped into the officialdom, it has been too smooth, and I feel a little impatient and confused when I have some difficulties that I can't overcome.

After thinking about it, Yang Lin tried his best to control himself from being impetuous, and took time to spend with his family, let Yang Jian do some tricks in Genyue, and asked the guards of the Longevity Camp to bring a small piece of Pinggu strange stone from the north, Just wait for the emperor to come to him.

Su Ningxiang, who was dressed in white, sat beside him, gently shaking her fan to cool off Yang Lin, while Su Zhuanglian, who was in a red dress like fire, brought over a bowl of medicine that had just been boiled from the back kitchen.

Yang Lin frowned, and said, "I'm cured, what medicine do I need?"

This stuff is really too bitter, looking at the black medicinal soup exuding a strong medicinal smell, Yang Lin waved his hand and said, "Take it away quickly, the medicine is three-point poisonous."

Su Zhuanglian bit her lip, and said aggrievedly: "Da Lang, after taking this bowl of medicine, I have endured it so hard that my wrists are sore after taking it."

Yang Lin always felt that this sentence was weird, but Su Zhuanglian was always favored. Yang Lin couldn't bear to see her disappointed, so he lowered his head and frowned, and smacked his lips: "Bitter! Don't talk about that just now again. That's it."

"Does the good medicine taste bitter?" Su Ningxiang giggled coquettishly, took out a fragrant handkerchief from her arms to help him wipe off the medicine stains on the corner of his mouth, and took out a candied fruit from the red holding box beside her, and put it in Yang Lin's mouth.Yang Lin chewed slowly, dispelling the bitterness in his mouth. At this time, the traditional Chinese medicine without any seasoning is really too bitter.

Just when Daguan Yang was enjoying himself with his concubines, teasing his children, Jin'er came over in small steps and said, "Da Lang, someone from the palace said they were summoned by the officials."

Yang Lin slapped his thigh and said with joy, "It's finally here!"

After speaking, he stood up and said, "Change my clothes and prepare the carriage and horses."

Among Gen Yue, Zhao Ji had already arrived in the palace of Empress Zheng. It turned out that the plaque fell, although it did not hit Empress Zheng directly, but it really startled her, and she squatted on the ground and fell.

Of course, Zhao Ji was comforting with kind words, and the couple said some more personal words. At this time, Yang Jian said outside: "Officials, ma'am, Young Master Yang is here."

The frightened Zhao Ji wanted to see Yang Lin most now, and asked if it was a warning from heaven.

"Quickly declare Yang Aiqing to come in."

After a while, Yang Jian personally brought Yang Lin into the palace, and Empress Zheng glared at him bitterly behind the emperor.

Yang Lin felt guilty for a while, pretending not to see it, his eyes dodged a little.My sister-in-law looks gentle and virtuous, but in fact she has a lot of eyes, which is different from her naive younger sister.

When Zhao Ji saw Yang Lin, his heart felt inexplicably at ease, and he hurriedly asked without waiting for him to salute, "Yang Aiqing, there have been many strange things happening in Gen Yue recently, and Aiqing is proficient in geomancy, has she ever seen something strange."

Yang Lin pretended to close his eyes and pinched his fingers. After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "Your Majesty has newly acquired the land of Youyan, but did not add it to Gen Yue, so there are some abnormal phenomena, but it is not a serious problem. It is nothing more than a disturbance. The habits of living beings, or the loosening of gold and wood."

As soon as Zhao Ji heard that what he said was completely correct, he nodded and said: "What Ai Qing said is exactly right."

Yang Lin thought to himself, I did this all, how could I be wrong?He was proficient in all kinds of playing hard to get, so he murmured: "A few small things may not be a big problem, but your Majesty and Gen Yue must be more careful. I estimate that the great fortune of Youyan that has been absorbed by Your Majesty for a year or so will be restored to its original state." gone."

When Zhao Ji heard it, he was really displeased and said: "I can still bear it, the queen was almost hit today, so there is no way to make up for it?"

coming!Yang Lin was excited, but with a reluctant expression on his face, he said: "It is possible to remedy the situation, but the price is too high. I do not suggest that Your Majesty should remedy it."

Zhao Ji was furious, and said: "What matter is more important than the Queen's safety."

Yang Lin sighed, and said: "In that case, let me tell you. Your Majesty's achievement is to be included in His Majesty's good fortune. This achievement came from Youyan, but Your Majesty has not set foot in Youyan. Insufficient. The only way is to transport the essence of Youyan Land to Gen Yue.

Your Majesty doesn't know that there are infinite strange stones in the old town of Yuyang between Pinggu Lingshan and Xiushui. Their colors are like rust, ocher reddish brown gray, just like ancient objects unearthed not long ago. There is a sense of magic in the antique flavor.Its shape may be like cattle, sheep, pigs and horses, tigers, leopards and dragon fish, or like old castles and old ships, and majestic pavilions. The big ones can be placed in gardens and courtyards for landscape viewing; the small ones can be placed in the halls and tables.

This kind of stone is pure in texture, delicate and solid; unique in shape and rich in connotation; Lost delicate, rough yet delicate. "

When Zhao Ji heard this, his saliva almost flowed out, and Yang Lin took the opportunity to say: "This is where the essence of the land of Youyan lies. If we move to Genyue, we can eliminate the sequelae caused by this fortune."

It can eliminate disasters and get strange stones. When Zhao Ji heard that there is such a good thing in the world, why didn't he do it?

"Why didn't Aiqing tell you earlier!" Zhao Ji said angrily, "I and the queen have suffered so much for no reason."

Yang Lin looked worried about the country and the people, and sighed: "Your Majesty doesn't know, the roads in this area of ​​Hebei are blocked, the official roads are full of giant trees as thick as a man, the rivers are flooded and there is no main channel, and it is impossible to travel by car, horse, or boat. It can be transported to Bianjing like the flowers and stones in the south of the Yangtze River."

When Zhao Ji heard this, he was really hesitant. No wonder Yang Aiqing faltered and concealed it, so it was because of this.Wouldn't it be a bit stupid to make a lot of construction work for the strange stone?You know, in order to transport the Taihu stones, Zhu Yu was sent in Suzhou, and the disturbed Liangzhe Road rose up to rebel against the imperial court.

Seeing that he hesitated, Yang Lin decided to throw another dose of strong medicine, and said: "I brought back a strange stone from Pinggu from Youyan, would your majesty want to have a look?"

Zhao Ji grinned and said, "Bring it here for me to see. How is it different from Taihu Stone?" His eyes seemed to be shining, and Yang Lin was very familiar with this kind of eyes. It's almost in this state.

Yang Lin couldn't understand, this bird man's obsession with stones, hard and cold, could it be more fun than a lively and delicate beauty?In fact, not only Zhao Ji, but also many civil servants and celebrities in the Song Dynasty were fascinated by these strange-shaped stones.

He resigned and turned to leave, giving Zhao Ji some time to ferment his desire and throbbing, after a while he came back with the strange stone, and then teased him, trying to start construction before the end of the year freezes!

Chapter 4 and Nine

Yang Lin hurriedly took a Pinggu strange stone, and went straight to the palace of Empress Zheng after entering the palace. Zhao Ji was already looking forward to it.

Yang Lin stepped forward with a smile, brought three servants into a box, opened it and found six stones.

These five stones are carefully selected from Pinggu. They have five colors: red, yellow, blue, black, and green, forming different pictures. Cute little bear.

This is undoubtedly a natural product born by the uncanny workmanship of nature. Zhao Ji couldn't pull his legs out, staring at the stone with two eyes, and praised in his mouth.

Empress Zheng walked down, not daring to hate Zhao Ji, and said to Yang Lin angrily: "With these stones, can Gen Yue's troubles be solved?"

Now that they were a little closer, Yang Lin glanced at Empress Zheng for a while, and found that she and his own Zheng Yunyao had similar eyebrows and eyes.She really deserves to be her biological sister, Zheng Yunyao is very charming and charming, and this queen is also very amazing when she gets close to her.

Before Yang Lin could open his mouth, Zhao Ji rushed to explain: "The queen doesn't know, most of the strange stones in Genyue Mountain were transported from Taihu Lake, and they were transported by the luck of the mountains and rivers in the south. Pinggu is the boundary of Youyan. The essence of the northern land. Now we are about to gather the north and the south, and we will reach the state of Dzogchen."

Yang Lin wiped his forehead, thinking that he would make up his mind when he encountered such a thing, it really saved me a lot of trouble.This explanation is more deceptive than what he thought of. The key is Zhao Ji's own thinking. The more he thinks about it, the more reasonable he is, and he will not doubt himself.

Now Zhao Ji is like an infatuated man who has met the girl of his heart, if he doesn't take advantage of the present to bring up the business, when will he wait?Yang Lin coughed lightly, and said: "Officials, the road from Pinggu to Bianliang is blocked. In order to transport strange stones, please make an order early to start digging canals. Zhang An, the river management department, has a lot of achievements in governing the Yellow River, and he is well versed in this way." , the minister suggested that he should do it."

Zhao Ji took a breath and asked, "Aiqing, how many of these strange stones are there in Pinggu?"

"It's all over the mountains and plains, I don't know the geometry."

"Then transporting it to Bianliang, isn't it like a foolish old man moving mountains?"

Yang Lin chuckled: "Foolish old man, old man in the mountain village, relying on the power of the family, of course it's too late. Your Majesty is rich all over the world, and he ordered the mountains and rivers to change color. I don't know how many people are willing to be loyal to the king. I am even more loyal to the people of the Song Dynasty. The wealth of the country is enough to undertake this trivial project. If your Majesty does not do such a major task, how will we demonstrate the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty to the world? We must know that many of the small people in Hebei along the way are people with shallow knowledge and do not know the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty.

The construction of Genyue is a major event, related to the national destiny of the Song Dynasty, and even more related to the immortality of the officials.Officials may wish to think about it carefully, is it possible that after living in Genyue, there have been frequent reports of great success in the Song Dynasty, and the territory of the Great Song Dynasty has been expanded by more than three times, and now even Youyan is hard to come back! "

Zhao Ji's face turned red, obviously he was very excited, and his blood boiled with Yang Lin's words.

"Okay! Just do as Yang Aiqing says!"

In Bianliang City, there are groups of officials everywhere, sighing and sighing among the teahouses and restaurants.

Today's officials don't know why they were bewitched by Yang Lin, but they actually want to build a straight canal to connect the north and the south, which is comparable to the tyranny of Emperor Sui Yang.

In their view, Bianliang is so rich, why take the straight canal to open up the poor and remote land in Hebei.

You must know that the Hebei area, as the border of the Great Song Dynasty, has been regarded as an abandoned frontier for a hundred years since Yongxi's Northern Expedition failed.

The lords of Gungun seem to have collectively suffered from amnesia, forgetting that they were talking loudly a few days ago, boasting about the great achievements of the young master Yang Lin in taking back Youyan.In less than a month, he became a complete traitor.
