Inspired by Wang Jinghui's first arrival in Chuzhou to build a water conservancy project and obtain the benefits of silting fields, Han Qi gritted his teeth and allocated 600,000 jin of funds from the national treasury to specifically rectify the waters of the Bian River. Wang Jinghui also admired Han Qi's steadfastness when he knew about it. As far as he knew, Wang Anshi invested money from the Qingmiao Law on the Bian River to repair the water conservancy project. There were more than 100,000 hectares of silting fields alone. If his goal was achieved, it would not only increase the capacity of the Bian River, but of course, in addition to dealing with a large number of van soldiers in Chuzhou, he could also get a lot of cash and extra money in Chuzhou, and he could immediately sell part of the land to recover the investment. The comprehensive effect was really doubled by 600,000 jin of investment, and the benefits were still long-term.

Wang Jinghui had already discussed such things in letters between him and Han Qi. Considering the tension in the country's finances, Wang Jinghui did "work" to Han Qi: The "Chuzhou Water Conservancy Demonstration Project" has an example. Although it cannot be suitable for all river basins, it can give priority to solving rivers that can also have a considerable number of silt fields while repairing water conservancy projects. Such projects can recover investment funds within almost one year, and can be transferred to many wing soldiers, and their long-term profits cannot be underestimated.

With the Huaihe River in Chuzhou as a role model, Han Qi and the others were naturally moved by Wang Jinghui's letter. However, Wang Jinghui did not expect that Han Qi's first goal was the Bian River. He remembered that the largest water conservancy project in Wang Anshi's Qingmiao Law in history was the renovation of the Bian River Basin. Wang Jinghui believed that some water conservancy projects had been planned for a long time, but because of the financial tension of the court, they could not be suppressed. Otherwise, Han Qi would not have such a coincidence to repair the water conservancy project in the Bian River Basin. This project must have had this plan for a long time. I don't know how long it took to be suppressed. If you have the opportunity, you can go to Han Qi to hunt for gold, and you may have a great harvest. After all, he has rich funds here, but lacks good land projects. He never thought that water conservancy projects would have such a time to make money, of course, it is a way to make money with drought and flood.

The first month has not yet passed. All parts of the Song Dynasty are filled with the New Year atmosphere. Due to the freezing of the Bian River in winter, it was originally possible to go directly from Chuzhou to Kaifeng, the capital of Bian Capital. Wang Jinghui and Wang Shao and his group had to take land, which made nearly four-fifths of the journey by land. Wang Jinghui also saw traces of water conservancy projects being built in some sections of the Bian River along the way. He had already done this kind of work once, so he naturally knew that Han Qi was not slow to correct the water conservancy project. After all, the Bian River basin involved much larger than Chuzhou, and the Bian River is a section of the Grand Canal. It also undertakes the heavy responsibility of north-south transportation.

The economic effect of the silt field that can be produced by the Bian River water conservancy project made Han Qi and others believe that the construction of water conservancy projects is a way to make a fortune, which reduces the resistance to decision-making. However, the real meaning is to make the insurance coefficient of the fragile transportation line higher. The Song Dynasty suffered disasters for many years, and the focus of maintaining the country was on the canal from Biandu to Hangzhou. The country's financial resources were entirely relied on this canal, and the trade between the north and the south was also maintained by this canal, but this canal connected these two major rivers. The most dangerous thing is the Yellow River. If the Yellow River suffers from a major disaster, it can easily paralyze the lifeline of the Song Dynasty for several months, and the silt and sand brought will greatly reduce the capacity. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, if the high-level rulers of the Song Dynasty govern the river channel, they will definitely give priority to the canal water system.

Originally, Han Qi also wanted to clear the Bian River system. But he was poor! The annual fiscal revenue of the Song Dynasty reached nearly 60 million trump cards, but the fiscal deficit was still as high as a few million trump cards, which really made him feel ashamed. Fortunately, his adopted son was very capable. Since adopting other methods, not only did he eliminate the deficit this year, but in addition to the officials' "year-end bonus", he actually had a surplus of more than one million trump cards. Although it was a shame to say that he was in power for eleven years, this year was the most relaxing year for him - this was the only year in his eleven years of ruling!

After the Prime Minister Han Qi and the Sansi envoy Han Jiang reported this statistical result to Yingzong Zhao Shu, Zhao Shu was relieved when he sat on the imperial case. He had never heard the final annual financial review results so carefully before. However, King Zhao Xu of Ying was influenced by Wang Jinghui and paid great attention to "digital" management. He often went to the Sansi envoy Han Jiang to read various financial reports. He also understood the current situation of the Song Dynasty. When the father and son were chatting in his spare time, Yingzong Zhao Shu clearly felt that his son had grown a lot. When he asked about a certain aspect, he was very concerned about.

Zhao Xu was able to answer the matters in a straightforward manner and reported specific numbers as solid evidence, which made Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu very happy. After asking carefully, he realized that this was influenced by the son-in-law. He also began to instruct the prime minister Han Qi and the three officials to report the financial situation this year with specific numbers, instead of just telling himself that the Song Dynasty owed millions of coins as before - "One million coins is also a million coins, and nine million coins is also a category of millions of coins. I must know how big the Song Dynasty has every year!" Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu thought silently in his heart!

The order of Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu did make Han Jiang busy for a long time, and the busiest thing was to be the prime minister Han Qi. He not only had to find Han Jiang, but also had to contact the people from the Ministry of Revenue to do a good job of coordination. Fortunately, Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu knew that some things were too busy, and the accuracy of the first report was set to a standard of 1,000 guan, which made all those involved in this matter secretly wipe their cold sweat.

As the ruler of this huge empire, Yingzong Zhao Shu knew what the current situation of the empire was. He was ready to hear the fiscal deficit, but the final report from the prime minister Han Qi still made him very pleased - although profits and profits are disproportionate, they are still better than hearing the deficit.

When Han Qi reported the financial situation of the empire to Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu, Wang Jinghui and Wang Shao finally arrived in Kaifeng, Bian Capital. Wang Shao had no residence in Kaifeng, so Wang Jinghui naturally would not let him stay in the inn, so he took Wang Shao directly back to the prince-consort's mansion. But in Wang Jinghui's heart, Wang Shao had to play a big role. Without the strong recommendation of the important ministers like Wang Anshi who were trusted by the emperor in history, Wang Shao could not rise to the top and become a general who led troops in many places in the Song Dynasty? Since he "robbed" Wang Shao from Wang Anshi, he naturally did not want to see that he did not have the opportunity to reappear the light of history. Although he could not promote him to a high position all at once like Wang Anshi, he paved the way for him. With his own strength, this should not be a very difficult thing.

After Wang Jinghui made up his mind, he began to plan how to pave the way for Wang Shao's career. As the son-in-law of the Song Dynasty, he was a relative of the foreign country. For the relatives, he was a key target of prevention in all dynasties, especially during the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Jinghui had never heard of any turmoil in history. The position of the son-in-law was mostly empty. There were almost no real difference in military affairs like him. However, there were bachelor's positions. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the relatives of the foreign country were

Only then did his ability develop, especially during the reign of Emperor Ningzong of Song Dynasty, Shi Miyuan seemed to have a relative with the empress at that time, and was able to rule the throne. He also secretly influenced the succession of the throne. This was the peak of the power of the foreign relatives in the Song Dynasty. Shi Miyuan was the only one. Other foreign relatives, such as the son-in-law, also achieved the position of the Privy Council together in the Southern Song Dynasty, but that was a few decades after the princess' death. When the princess was alive, she absolutely had no chance.

Wang Jinghui thought about the situation of the Song Dynasty's foreign relatives, and knew that this time he was out of Chuzhou as a destiny, and it was probably the only way to stop. This era was the last glory of the Song Dynasty. It was less than ten years since Bao Gong died in Kaifeng. There were also ministers like Han Qi, Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu, Sima Guang, and Wen Yanbo who could not rub the sand in his eyes. As the son-in-law, he had a good relationship with these ministers in private, but if he walked a step up, he might become an enemy. Wang Jinghui himself had no extravagant hope for power. He wanted to retire early, so naturally there would be no such unfavorable situation.

However, in order to help Wang Shao have a good background and let him play his role in history on the battlefield, he could not say that he had to walk around and make a name for Wang Shaoyan. The difficulty of the Song Dynasty, which advocated the civil governance, was to find a way out for a general, can be imagined, but it was not Wang Jinghui, but what made him embarrassed was the person who recommended Wang Shao to whom Wang Shao could be better and more secure, and could maximize Wang Shao's power.

Guo Kui, the chief of the General Staff of the Privy Council, is certainly a good choice, but the problem is that Wang Jinghui's identity is the son-in-law. Such a blatant recommendation of officials, especially a military general, may cause suspicion from those nervous civil officials, and he does not want to cause trouble for himself.

Since the road cannot be walked, just go to the side door. After Wang Jinghui arrived at Biandu, he took Wang Shao to the residence of Prince Ying. Wang Jinghui wanted to recommend Wang Shao to Yingwang Zhao Xu. He knew that Zhao Xu was a militant. In history, after he succeeded to the throne and became Emperor Shenzong, he once went to Cishou Palace to pay tribute to Empress Dowager Cao. When he asked Fu Bi about his plan for governing the country, Fu Bi told him that "it was a plan for enriching the country without saying anything for twenty years." He actually demoted Fu Bi Biandu without hesitation and returned to Luoyang to retire. Except for the young emperor's dislike of the conservative school, in essence, Zhao Xu was still very yearning for the martial arts of Emperor Wu of Han.

Although Wang Jinghui agreed with the policy of the old ministers like Fu Bi's advocacy of the country's health and well-being, he would never believe that the Song Dynasty did not destroy Xixia within 20 years, or completely kicked Xixia out of the "Three Kingdoms Game" of Song, Liao and Xia. In Wang Jinghui's eyes, Xixia was just a bandit in history who traveled between the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty and took advantage of the situation and was not qualified to be called the comprehensive strength of the country. Otherwise, the representatives of the dynasty after the "Xinhua Dictionary" should have a place for Xixia. If he had not read the history of the Song Dynasty, he would have no idea about the history of Xixia.

Who is the emperor? According to Wang Jinghui's estimate, after five years of steady development in the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty could have the strength to take the initiative to attack the border of Song and Xia. Due to desert and cavalry factors, it was difficult to destroy the Western Xia, but seriously injured it made it unable to recover from then on. It was easy for him to separate the Western Xia and Liao Kingdoms from each other. Therefore, he advocated taking flexible measures against the Western Xia in these five years to control the economy and culture of the Western Xia, and when the strength was strong enough, it would be completely blocked and trapped the Western Xia!

In history, after the crown prince ascended the throne, the old people in the crown prince's mansion would become the team of the new emperor. In addition to Han Qi and Fu Bi who were highly famous could stand tall, the political structure would undergo great changes. The old people in the crown prince's mansion played the role of fresh blood. As long as they were not really incompetent, they would basically be valued. Wang Jinghui believed that Wang Shao was a down-to-earth man. Otherwise, in history, Wang Shao would not have gone to the border to "interview with border love" after failing the imperial examination. His ability to contribute "Three Strategies for Pacifying Rong" was his accumulation in the past twenty years. Wang Jinghui believed that he could be appreciated by King Ying Zhao Xu, and after Zhao Xu ascended the throne, he would be the best candidate for senior military generals.

The length of this process is obviously not guaranteed. Because even Wang Jinghui could not say how long Yingzong Zhao Shu could live now. If he accompanied Zhao Shu day and night to arrange his father-in-law's daily life, it would be impossible for Zhao Shu to live for ten years. But Zhao Shu was suffering from cardiovascular disease, which was a time bomb even in the 21st century, and the time when Ying King Zhao Xu succeeded to the throne was unknown.

"Let Wang Shao become the aide to King Ying Zhao Xu first! With Wang Shao's real skills, he will definitely gain the appreciation and trust of Zhao Xu. Although Wang Shao cannot be promoted as in history, he will be in one step, but doing so is more in line with the concept of the tycoons who accumulate qualifications. Moreover, this is a good opportunity for the Song Dynasty to cultivate and maintain health. There is no need to stimulate the Xixia, which was already in conflict. Maybe they will unite again. That's not good. Let them kill each other slowly and consume national strength!" Wang Jinghui thought to himself when he stepped into the residence of King Ying.

King Zhao Xu of Ying happened to be studying books at home. When he heard the prince-consort visit, he naturally asked someone to invite him in. When Zhao Xu saw Wang Jinghui, he found that there was a powerful black man with Kong Wu standing beside his brother-in-law. Zhao Xu, who yearned for martial arts, could naturally feel Wang Shao's military temperament. Seeing this, Wang Jinghui introduced him to each other. Zhao Xu learned that the person standing in front of him was actually the prince-consort and Wang Shao who wrote "Long-term Strategy Letters for Western Xia", and he became enthusiastic and praised Wang Shao repeatedly. Wang Shao thought that the memorial he wrote with the prince-consort was not very strong, and almost all of them were built by the prince-consort. Hearing Zhao Xu praised him made him feel really embarrassed. Fortunately, he was old and dark, but his face turned darker.

When Wang Jinghui saw Wang Shao's embarrassing look, he felt a little laughed. However, in order to save this famous general of the Song Dynasty, he still held back and said, "Your Highness, Wang Zhanjun has been on the northwest front line for many years and has a deep understanding of the border areas between Song and Xia. Wang Zhanjun and I met by chance in Chuzhou. At first sight, we took it as a confidant. We wrote this "Law on Long-term Strategic Notes on Western Xia". Wang Zhanjun has made great contributions to it. Recently, we came here to let Your Highness know Wang Zhanjun and understand the real situation of the border confrontation between Song and Xia. This is something that cannot be seen in the memorials of those border magistrates!"

When Wang Shao heard Wang Jinghui praise him for his great contribution in the memorial, he spoke: "Your Highness, the prince consort has praised him too much. Shao has only done his best. The memorial has been written before I met the prince consort. I have only provided some reference opinions. The prince consort is so serious!"

After listening to the side, Wang Jinghui was secretly happy: Wang Shao is quite realistic, but you never dreamed that this memorial was the result of my copying of you, and it was just a card I restrained others. You are the talent I value the most. Where is that memorial that is important to recover Xihe? The way to break the Xixia road is important. Without you, Wang Shao, the Song Dynasty would not know how much money it would cost to deal with Xixia!

However, Wang Shao's refusal was a manifestation of humility in the eyes of King Zhao Xu of Ying, because although he knew that Wang Jinghui had contributed to the military the method of making firearms and fast crossbows, his strategic layout had never been shown. With this Wang Shao beside Wang Jinghui, Wang Shao's familiarity with military strategy and Wang Jinghui's strange ideas, it was normal for the two to write that memorial. In Zhao Xu's eyes, Wang Shao's humility was a rare and excellent quality.

After the three of them talked about the situation in the northwest, Zhao Xu was very satisfied with Wang Shao, so he invited Wang Jinghui and Wang Shao to another study room. The study room was similar to the study room where Wang Jinghui hung a map in Chuzhou. The maps used by both came from maps refined by the Privy Council, which really opened Wang Shao's eyes. In this study room, under the instruction of Wang Jinghui, Wang Shao talked about the first three military policies of the encirclement of the Western Xia in the memorial. Zhao Xu also listened with relish. Wang Jinghui observed the conversation between the two of them, knowing that his original purpose was achieved-Zhao Xu did not reject Wang Shao. Like history, Zhao Xu also valued Wang Shao's talents very much, but Zhao Xu was not the Emperor of Shenzong now.
