Chapter 1,129: A memorial that cannot be offended

Cai Que then asked: "With my weakest point, I attack the other's strongest point, and I still want to win in battle, but my opponent is someone like Su Mingrun and Chen Jingrun... Uncle He, I want to ask, where does your confidence come from?"

Mr. Wang?"

"this……"

Cai Que tapped the table with his fingers and said meaningfully: "So, despite Su Mingrun's trembling look, in fact, he has already won this game."

"Then Mr. Wang's side..."

Cai Que said: "Wang Xianggong's move is obviously inappropriate. But he made a mistake. Do we have to make mistakes with him?"

Xing Shu understood somewhat. He was so frightened that he was sweating profusely. He stood up and saluted Cai Que: "If he hadn't been reminded in time to participate in politics, I'm afraid Xing Shu would have become a pawn for Wang Xianggong to escape guilt in the end."

"I understand." Cai Que nodded with satisfaction: "I heard that your brother-in-law, Zhao Tingzhi, also has some experience in water control?"

Xing Shu said: "He, during the trial of Tong Dezhou, because of repeated decisions on the Yellow River in the Wei border, the councilors wanted to move to Zongcheng County."

"He went to inspect the transfer mission at that time. After inspecting it, he reported back: 'The old city is located on the plateau a thousand years old, and the water has not been invaded. The current move is not as good as the old city, and I am afraid there will be problems.'"

"The transfer envoy refused to listen and eventually moved the county seat. As a result, within two years, the river fruit really destroyed the new town and wiped out all the residents."

"The transporter was demoted, and my brother-in-law got the reputation of knowing water because of this incident."

Cai Que nodded: "Bring him along for this inspection."

"Inspect the archives and record the oral accounts of military and civilian officials. Whatever the facts were at that time, that will be written in the memorial."

"Don't be pretentious, don't make irresponsible remarks, and maybe you can still get some benefits."

"The Qian family has just received the Royal Arch, and the Qian boy's contribution to the battle has been linked to it. Let's think carefully about His Majesty's attitude towards this matter."

"It is not the behavior of a wise man to jump down even though he knows there is a pit."

Xing Shu felt grateful and admired Cai Quezhen at this moment: "Thank you Ming Gong for your guidance. Xing Shu knows how to do it."

In July of the third year of Yuanfeng, when the flood had just passed, Wang Gui petitioned the imperial court to send a joint investigation team to examine whether the actions of Chen Zhaoming, Song Yongchen, Dou Shi and others in regulating the river were correct and appropriate.

At the same time, people should also be sent to review the Military Aircraft Department, review its materials, files, and orders issued, and require the Military Aircraft Department to explain in detail the reasons and processes for its operations.

Zhao Xu said that Wang Xianggong didn't need to worry, Su You had already applied for it himself.

Wang Gui was immediately stunned, what kind of operation is this?

Zhao Xu lamented that when Su Mingrun did things, he never considered one person, one thing, or one moment. He only thought about rules and regulations that could be used by future generations.

Take a look at his chapter. There is a saying in it that is very good. People who have no long-term worries must have immediate worries. Wang Xianggong, do you think this is the reason why he is calm in the face of trouble?

Wang Gui summarized Su You's memorial, which contains roughly several items.

One is to use mathematical tools from science and engineering to calculate water regimes and establish complete hydrological tables, just like trigonometric function tables, which can help people who do not understand science and engineering directly query the results and predict water regimes to prepare for the disaster.

Responses.

The second is to vigorously transform the communication system and develop communication tools that spread faster.

This disaster relief reflected the lack of communication capabilities. Using semaphores and carrier pigeons, only one day of emergency response time was obtained.

Although this day has played a huge role, it is obviously not enough and needs to be improved.

The most important thing is that the country should immediately implement a grain reserve strategy.

"Book of Rites·Wang Zhi" says: "If a country does not have nine years of savings, it is said to be insufficient; if it does not have six years of savings, it is said to be urgent; if it does not have three years of savings, it is said that the country is not its own country."

Grain reserves can be divided into four types.

One is strategic reserves, which are the bottom line of a country’s food reserves and the most basic guarantee for a country to fight disasters;

The second is the famine reserve, which is used to prevent regional famine and is used to prepare seeds and food so that people will not be displaced for food and starve to death on the way;

The third is special reserves, which are specially prepared grains for certain unforeseen events and expected purposes. For example, the purpose of today's Xingluocang reserves is very clear.

The fourth is the turnover reserve, which is the necessary reserve to treat grain as a commodity to meet the needs of transshipment trade and to meet the needs of the population who are not engaged in farming in exchange for grain.

The country's current grain reserve system is called Changping, shipped, and transferred.

These grains all belong to the fourth category, the category of commodity reserves. Now the Song Dynasty has just had the third category, and as for the first and second categories that are related to the life and death of the country, they do not exist at all.

However, because its purpose is unclear, its definition is inaccurate, its system is not standardized, its management is not rigorous, and its responsibilities are unclear, it often happens that hungry people are crying for food, but local officials dare not open warehouses for relief.

Or it may need to be submitted for approval and issued layer by layer, which delays time.

What's more, the lack of dedicated and detailed management will lead to unfavorable supervision.

Along the banks of the Cao Canal, corruption was rampant, and officials took advantage of it, causing great trouble to the administration.

There is a gang of gangsters in Chanzhou from the governor to the prosecutor. The officials involved in embezzling disaster relief funds and grain storage account for two-thirds of the entire state capital. Are there such gangs in other places besides Chanzhou? It must be thoroughly investigated

, we must also find ways to correct it from the system.

It is necessary to classify and set up special lines, set up special systems for each line, and set up special supervision methods for each system. Only by refining and strengthening can we improve efficiency, clarify responsibilities, and reduce corruption, waste, and blame-shifting.

The phenomenon.

The previous system was too rough and the management was too extensive. During this disaster relief, many problems emerged in the states and counties along the way, which must be rectified.

To sum up, in order to achieve results in river management, we should not just focus on river management, but should realize that this is a comprehensive issue.

Generally speaking, to manage rivers, we must develop technology, improve systems, crack down on corruption, prepare extensive capital reserves, optimize management, and improve efficiency.

Therefore, I request your Majesty to set up a joint investigation team to carefully consider the handling of the proposed river defense, the new problems discovered during the river defense work, the new methods used, and the new measures taken.

Involving Zhongshu administration, three departments of finance, privy military affairs, and local general affairs, they need to be supervised and inspected one by one.

Things are many and complicated, but we cannot ignore the gains and losses, make corrections, and formulate institutional texts so as to establish a correct charter for future generations.

The Yellow River cannot be allowed to rage frequently in the east of Hebei and Beijing again and again, while there is no progress in human affairs.

Anshi Xianggong once said: "Floods and droughts are constant, and Yao and Tang were unavoidable. Although droughts and droughts occur now, we should make good efforts to cultivate human resources to cope with natural disasters."

Confucius said: "A gentleman has three fears: fear of destiny, fear of great men, and fear of the words of sages."

If you don’t learn from experience and lessons when encountering a disaster, how can you say you are afraid of destiny?

If we continue to indulge in corruption, perversion of the law, disloyalty and disrespect, why should we be afraid of you?

If we do not respect the authority of knowledge, the painstaking efforts and excellent methods of knowledgeable people, why should we fear the words of saints?

I would like to ask the two governments and three departments to conduct detailed inspections, not only to formulate a disaster preparedness and response plan along the Yellow River, but also to spread it throughout the country and use it for the Yangtze River, Huaihe River, Han River, and Wei River. In the next step, it can also be expanded to form other disasters and famines.

, the war’s disaster preparedness response plan has been refined to the state and county levels.

On top of this, it is necessary to find out a system that summarizes lessons and experiences, and summarizes a set of effective and correct methods to form a system, so that the governance of the Song Dynasty can be continuously rationalized, adjusted and optimized, and a decision-making policy can be formed.

a virtuous cycle.

Wang Gui obediently returned the memorial: "The reform of the official system is at a critical moment, and Zhongshu is also having difficulties."

"However, Su Mingrun requested the establishment of this group, and I have no objection."

"I would like to remind your majesty that this matter requires capable personnel. It is okay for Su Mingrun to avoid suspicion, but he cannot just give up the challenge. This matter cannot be accomplished without the strong cooperation of the Military Aircraft Department."

I can't afford to offend him. Such a chapter is quite untouchable.

Zhao Xu took the Zhang Zuo back and asked, "Ai Qing, do you have any recommendations?"

Wang Gui thought for a while: "Tianzhang Pavilion is to be controlled by Zhao Man, who knows the military; the Kaifeng Prefecture judge, who knows the government of Emperor Anli and Ming Dynasty; he is in charge of the construction of the academy, the judge of Taichang Temple and the ceremonial affairs, Zeng Gongtong's financial planning; plus the collation of the pavilions and pavilions,

Xing Shu, a member of the staff, is supervising the trip of Zhao Ting, the censor... Your Majesty, do you think this is okay?"

Zhao Xu nodded: "My husband's recommendation is quite appropriate. All aspects have been taken into consideration. Do any of them understand science and engineering?"
