Emperor Zhao Xu said hesitantly: "You are too careful!"

"Be careful that you can sail a thousand-year-old ship! Master, I know that the memorials on the imperial case about the intention of hoarding food have accumulated into mountains, but I can still give up. I always have a good premonition in my heart - a major disaster may happen in the past two or three years, maybe a flood or a drought. No matter what disaster it is, it will become a disaster once it endangers the capital and the important part of the capital. I privately speculate that even the Wang Xiang is willing to come up with a disaster at the critical moment of the reform to disrupt the situation. This is just the spit of the people of the world, which is enough to make the reform die!"

In the heavy rain in the second year of Zhiping, although Emperor Zhao Xu was the crown prince at that time, he clearly saw Wang Jinghui's almost perfect performance in the disaster. He was very impressed by the son-in-law's ability to "make and calculate". He also knew that Wang Jinghui was very "sensible" every time. At least in the past few years, the son-in-law has not issued any warnings on the disaster, which made Emperor Zhao Xu feel a little regretful and relieved at the same time. Now, Wang Jinghui is very sure that the disaster will come to the Song Dynasty as a few years ago, which makes him recall the past and become very alert.

Regarding the incident in the second year of Zhiping, Wang Jinghui still thought that he was dizzy. Fortunately, he had the "god Zhuge Liang" in front of him, and he had covered it up well, so he summoned him up. The drought that hit the Northern Song Dynasty most was about to come in two years. He also wanted to follow the method he had been a few years ago to deal with the drought. Now it is just the time to give emperor Zhao Xu a vaccination. After all, the major disasters and minor disasters in the Song Dynasty have been settled in recent years. It is nothing if there is a big drought. Wang Jinghui happened to use this as an excuse to make a layout.

"What are your countermeasures?"

"This kind of thing is just caused by my concern. When it becomes a reality, even I can affirm it. Therefore, disaster prevention must be carried out secretly, and it will give people a clear explanation and benefit the Song Dynasty!" Wang Jinghui said this and looked up at the surrounding eunuchs. The eunuchs around him were twenty steps away from them. They might hear his conversation with the emperor. This is also due to Emperor Zhao Xu's constant concern about the privacy of the conversation he had with the prince-consort - anyone can be sure that the young prince-consort would say something very confidential. So every time he talked, he would keep the eunuch far away.

"In addition to hoarding grain in various places, I have also made some arrangements - the Bian River dredging project led by Shen Kuo is about to start. If nothing unexpected happens, the Bian River project will only increase its transportation capacity and silt fields after it is completed. More importantly, it will enhance the Bian River's ability to resist floods. If there is something wrong with the Yellow River, it can resist it. This is still very safe. Last year, prisoners of war were used on the east and west routes of Jingdong to build the post road from Jiaoxian to Kaifeng, Biandu. Jiaoxian is an excellent port. If the flood scale is large, once the Bian River can transport supplies to the capital, it can allow the southern materials to be shipped in Fuyang, Chuzhou, Yancheng, take the sea route and go straight to Jiaoxian, and then you can also go to Biandu by land!"

"Is it a bit troublesome to do this?"

"Emperor Taizu once said that Kaifeng, Bian Capital, has five jade belts, which refer to the canal passing through Bian Capital, among which the Bian River is the most important. The taxes and daily necessities in the south must be carried from the Bian River. Once the test occurs, the canal system is paralyzed, it will be a very deadly matter. This design combines sea and land to combine it with the inland water canal transportation. With the strength of the Royal Sea Transportation Land of the Song Dynasty, enough ships can be gathered to transport goods in a short time. Even if a major flood occurs, the emperor is worried about the problems of the north-south material exchange!"

"Just to strengthen the safety of the canal, the Yellow River embankment is the top priority! I plan to use cement and rocks to build dams for some dangerous emperor embankments to improve their safety. Even if the floods occur, Kaifeng, Bian City, will directly face the threat of the Yellow River!"

"You have been thinking about this for a long time, and it will cost a little!" In the eyes of Emperor Zhao Xu, after Wang Jinghui's trouble, Kaifeng, Bian was so solid that he felt at peace.

"If a person has no long-term plan, he will have immediate worries! I dare to use private measures to trouble the emperor and the ministers, so I will first arrange it according to my own ideas. These projects seem to cost a lot of money, but in fact, their main labor is the Dangxiang prisoners. More importantly, these prisoners are all strong and more efficient in their work than the people of the Song Dynasty. As for the cost of the project, I will take the merchants of the Song Dynasty as much as possible to carry out the controlling operations, which is only enough for the project and also have a generous return on profits!"

"Haha, my dear is really the Tao Zhu Gong of the time!"

"Master, although the court's finances are continuing to improve, it is better to save some money if you can. After all, there are a few things that require the Wang Xiangshi. The minister wants to suggest that the Master can set up an institution!"

"Oh? What do you want to do?"

"Guanghui Cang and Changping Warehouse are related to the safety of the imperial court. Local officials will inevitably be 'considered' by local officials. I would like to ask the emperor to set up a special agency to be responsible for the inspection of Guanghui Cang and Changping Warehouses across the country all year round to prevent officials from affecting the court!" Wang Jinghui said. He was in charge of Changping Warehouse, but it was just a Guanghui Cang Wang Jinghui had made strict reviews to the court many times, and local officials were strictly prohibited from embezzling Guanghui Cang. The effect was very good. However, when Han Qi was in Hebei, a drought broke out, which made Old Man Han feel frustrated. If Wang Jinghui gave him food in time, Han Qi would be very happy.

Wang Jinghui was able to tolerate corrupt officials stretching their claws to Guanghui Cang, which was used by the court to provide relief to the people when natural disasters occurred. If there was any deficit, it would be human life! China and foreign countries have been restricted by their own morality for thousands of years. In fact, it is precisely because of the lack of very shocking regulatory measures that one shocking corrupt officials will appear, and it is the same in China thousands of years later.

What Wang Jinghui thought of was the "National Discipline Inspection Commission" and the "National Bureau of Statistics" in later generations. He still took back the idea of ​​the "National Discipline Inspection Commission" with great tact. This is a very deadly institution. In other words, a few of the powerful people in the Political Affairs Hall have clean butts. Even if Emperor Zhao Xu agreed to establish such an institution, the impact is too great. If the officials who had a wrong relationship with him yesterday will become enemies today, and he will really become a public enemy of the whole people.

In contrast, the idea of ​​the "National Bureau of Statistics" is more easily accepted by the senior leaders of the Song Dynasty's rule, and the main inspection target of this institution is Guanghui Cang. If Emperor Zhao Xu was happy, Wang Jinghui also opposed the inclusion of Changping Cang into this verification system. Of course, it is a big reality for such a "Great Song Dynasty Statistics Bureau" to rely on it to completely change the current bad situation at its beginning.

"Growing slowly" - Wang Jinghui was deeply attracted by three of them. The Song Dynasty General Staff Department gave him a good lesson. For several years, Guo Kui's General Staff Department was simply empty. Even Wang Jinghui himself was considering whether there were problems with his own ideas before. However, last year's Song-Xia war gave the General Staff Department a crucial opportunity. In just a few months, a large number of military generals with combat experience were enriched into the General Staff Department. In a blink of an eye, the General Staff Department turned over and became a department favored by Emperor Zhao Xu. Although the Privy Council was still a literati, the proportion of soldiers who had really fought in the Privy Council was increasing.

With the example of the General Staff of the Song Dynasty, Wang Jinghui felt much more at ease - he needed the new local institutions to play an immediate role, and their existence was more important - the existence of such a supervisory organization itself was a blow to the Confucian idea of ​​governing the country!

"My dear, this institution is probably a bit redundant. Can Lantai and the procuratorial censor play the same role?!" Emperor Zhao Xu said with a frown.

"The censors are very skilled and the work of retrieving accounts in this way is too difficult for them. This matter is very serious. You can be careless! Changping the warehouse is related to the future military actions of the people of Xixia and Liao. Guanggu warehouse is related to the livelihood of the affected people. Both can be easily abused. Most officials in various places are misappropriated by those who are in various places, and several supervisors will check the accounts. Even if they get there, they will be deceived by the lower-level officials. The agency suggested by me will be a permanent institution like the General Staff. In addition to conducting statistical inspections on the two warehouses across the country twice a year, they must also conduct regular supervision in normal times, so as to ensure that Guanghui warehouse and Changguan warehouse are misappropriated by the lower-level officials!"

Wang Jinghui's words came to the heart of Emperor Zhao Xu - he wanted to deal with Dangxiang and Khitan, so he needed to fight. The main supply of food and supplies in the war was provided by Changping Warehouse. If he was fooled by the officials below, he would lose all his face and even fight!

"Your dear, please write a note first when you go back and leave it to me for review. If it is appropriate, it will be handed over to the Secretariat for review and approval!" Emperor Zhao Xu still attaches great importance to his own money bag. Since he took over this huge empire, although the financial situation has improved a lot, Emperor Zhao Xu still set an example and greatly reduced the cost of the royal family, especially his own expenses have reached the minimum limit for Emperors of the Song Dynasty in history.

Wang Jinghui saw all this, and with his conscience, he still admired Emperor Zhao Xu very much. Although the evaluation of this "reform Emperor" in history was not very high. In his time and space, people may know Wang Anshi, Su Shi, and Sima Guang, but few people could speak the word "Song Dynasty emperor". Wang Jinghui saw hope in this young emperor - the hope of the revival of the Song Dynasty. If the Song Dynasty could successfully pass through the reform stage of more than ten years, there would be no doubt that a Han empire that was more powerful than the Han and Tang Dynasties would stand in the east of the world. He was more open than the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the economy was more than the Han and Tang Dynasties. It is hard to imagine that there would be scenes of Mongols sweeping the world in the future, and the entire history of human civilization would be rewritten because of this!

Late at night, Wang Jinghui said goodbye to Emperor Zhao Xu. He gained too much in this conversation. He only solved the problem of telescope application in astronomy, which made him realize that he was still transparent enough to Emperor Zhao Xu. He did not care about the consequences in the past, but only did it based on his own perception. Many major mistakes were made in the middle. It was precisely because of Emperor Zhao Xu's tolerance and trust in him that he could overcome the difficulties. In any history, he put it in.

The emperor would tolerate that he would have reserved so much food. Emperor Zhao Xu resisted the pressure of the Censorate and never asked him. He only spoke until today. This favor is very rare, and this also made Wang Jinghui feel mature. The emperor may protect himself for the rest of his life. He will do more things in the future, and he can give the emperor the impression that "the prince consort is troublesome". The officialdom is strange, and he still has many things to learn, as a rookie...

Shen Kuo served as the Sitianjian within a few days. Fortunately, the Song Dynasty inherited the official system of the late Tang Dynasty. He was separated from the officials, positions, and dispatched, and Shen Kuo devoted most of his energy to the dredging project of the Bian River. On the 25th day of the first lunar month, he began to carry out engineering planning and took Wang Jinghui to almost half of the numerology students of his Huaying Academy to conduct field surveys.

Regarding Gao Rongqiang, with the recommendation of Wang Jinghui, he entered Sitianjian and temporarily became a seventh-rank chief clerk. Wang Jinghui did not arrange for him to be stationed in Sitianjian. With Gao Rongqiang's personality, it is estimated that it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the relatively complicated place of Sitianjian. Moreover, his strengths can now be played in Sitianjian. Wang Jinghui also asked to build a rooftop on the mountain twenty miles outside Kaifeng, Biandu. Although there were light interferences such as electric lights and other lights, the lamps in Kaifeng, Biandu were lit until dawn. This is very conducive to the observation of the rooftop in the city to observe the astrological signs. Wang Jinghui hopes to have a better place to provide Sitianjian, so he wrote a letter to build a rooftop outside the city, and the rooftop that was originally in the Hanlin Academy was abolished!

No one knew the meaning of this, but Emperor Zhao Xu and his son-in-law Wang Jinghui understood very well. Si Tianjian would leave the Hanlin Academy. When Wang Jinghui wrote the letter, although everyone thought that this letter was a joke. Emperor Zhao Xu immediately realized that Wang Jinghui was going to further weaken the political power of Si Tianjian. So he approved the letter without saying a word.

Compared with the upcoming move of Sitianjian, the "Song Dynasty Statistics Bureau" is more eye-catching. Sima Guang had no objection to Wang Jinghui's letter to establish the Statistics Bureau of Song Dynasty for the first time. It was Sima Guang, and several ministers in the entire Zhengshi Hall remained silent on this matter. The work of the Statistics Bureau of Song Dynasty was very simple, which was to conduct intermittent verification of Guanghui Warehouse to ensure that the reserves of Guangxi Warehouse are always maintained at a safe level. The staff composition of the Statistics Bureau is also very clear - all of them are Jinshi who were on the list last year. Of course, only a few of these Jinshi are more proficient in mathematics. They also have skills - Huaying Academy Zhongdi Accounting Science Students to help them. This also sets a precedent in the control system of the Song Dynasty - those who take office in the Statistics Bureau will first enter the accounting department of Huaying Academy for half a year to two years depending on their work!

Wang Jinghui formulated an extremely strict charter, which was so meticulous that the internal personnel of the Bureau of Statistics needed to undergo a major rotation every three or four years. All the chief clerks from the promotion to the bottom had to be replaced, so as to prevent corruption from happening in this institution for a long time.

The Concept of the Statistics Bureau of the Song Dynasty was decided by the son-in-law, so after the emperor approved it, Wang Jinghui became the first candidate of the Statistics Bureau of the Song Dynasty. The Statistics Bureau was directly led by the emperor and the Political Affairs Hall of the Secretariat in the Six Ministry. More importantly, the first article in the Statistics Bureau of Statistics Bureau was that the Statistics Bureau had the power to collect evidence and check accounts, but did not interrogate and convict - this power was in the hands of the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture. Wang Jinghui was afraid that the current Statistics Bureau would become the KGB in the future, and that joke would be huge. National security would have another system to ensure that he only wanted to turn the Statistics Bureau into a knife in his hand and cut off the black hand of local officials who dared to attack Guanghui Cang.

Although the Song Dynasty Statistics Bureau was just born and everything was in its initial stages, and even the people inside had not made aware of their responsibilities, Wang Jinghui summoned all the members of the Statistics Bureau the next night and left the city overnight on the boat to Beijing East and West Road. Before the Xuzhou prefect had understood what the slightest, a large stack of books that were investigated and dealt with by the accountants of the Statistics Bureau were placed in front of the Xuzhou prefect Liu Jingyu.
