Fu Bi was angry, but Ouyang Bian was not angry, but he was not polite to speak.

Ouyang Bian said: "If this is the case, the plan to develop Jiangnan can be implemented by the three departments, and the three departments propose plans and provide budgets.

The central bank can lend to the three departments in full. The loans borrowed are calculated based on the minimum interest rate and can be paid off within three years. This way, the central bank will not have a big burden. What do you think?"

Fu Bi was not anxious, Cai Xiang was anxious first: "Hey, why did this matter involve the Sansi? How much does it cost to develop Jiangnan?

Now that the treasury is a little easier, you just want to drag the three corps into it... Your Majesty, this is my life. If you want the three corps to come out, your Majesty asks me to give up my three corps first!"

Zhao Zhen quickly comforted him and said, "Junmo, don't be anxious, aren't you still discussing this? Let's see what to say first."

Fu Bi sneered: "Don't pull Sansi in. Cai Xiang is right. Sansi has just recovered. You have brought this up. You must not drag Sansi in."

Ouyang Bian shrugged and spread his hands: "Then follow my plan, develop the two lakes, and then the central bank wants to occupy the profits that the central bank must have, of course, taxes from the court."

Fu Bi pointed at Ouyang Bian angrily and said to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, look at it. This kid regards the central bank as his own industry and is still very concerned about the imperial court!"

Seeing that both the father-in-law and son-in-law were blushing, Zhao Zhen quickly advised: "Oh, your father-in-law and son-in-law..."

"Your Majesty, there is no father-in-law and son-in-law in official business!" Fu Bi said.

"Your Majesty, the central bank is the central bank of the court, but since the Wei minister is in charge, the Wei minister has the responsibility to make the central bank grow healthily and not to be dismembered before it grows up!"

Ouyang Bian also shouted loudly.

Yes, the father-in-law and son-in-law are having a dispute.

Zhao Zhen quickly winked with Wen Yanbo.

Wen Yanbo coughed lightly: "Fu Xiang, Ji Mo, don't be impatient, please listen to me."

Ouyang Bian and Fu Bi's glaring eyes immediately shifted to Wen Yanbo's face, and Wen Yanbo suddenly felt a little more pressure.

"Fuxiong, I have to say justice to this matter. The matter of the central bank was decided at the beginning. This was recognized by His Majesty, the Political Affairs Hall, and the three departments.

The central bank has the full strength to operate independently, and neither institutions nor individuals have the right to interfere in the central bank's decision-making.

The central bank is of course the central bank of the court, so the central bank will hand over most of the profits to the court and accept supervision from the court.

But the court has no right to intervene, and Fu Xiang will not forget this, right?"

Fu Bi said: "I haven't forgotten, but..."

Wen Yanbo reached out to stop Fu Bi and said with a smile: "It's good to not forget it. Then Ji Mo made a decision on behalf of the central bank and just informed the court. In fact, the court does not have the right to point fingers, your Majesty said, right?"

Zhao Zhen was stunned when he heard this: "This is the reason."

Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "Then it's okay. Ji Mo, you should continue to talk about your plan. But Ji Mo, I will criticize you with my seniority. After all, Fu Xiang is your father-in-law. If you have something to say, you must make a fuss like this. How can you face your wife in the future?"

Ouyang Bian's face suddenly turned red and everyone thought Ouyang Bian's face was thin, and suddenly burst into laughter.

After Wen Yanbo's interruption, the atmosphere eased a little.

As the top leader of the Political Affairs Hall, Wen Yanbo set his character for the matter, and the officials agreed. Fu Bi could only stop talking, but he looked a little depressed.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Ji Mo, continue to talk about your...Two Lakes Development."

Ouyang Bian nodded. Today, he showed a solemn expression for the first time, which made everyone feel a little scared.

Ouyang Bian has always been a hippie, and it is rare to see him so serious.

"...The development of the two lakes is one of the Jianghan Plain and the other is the Dongting Lake Plain. It covers a vast area and is complex in the terrain. The biggest difficulty comes from... the Yangtze River!"

Everyone understood why Ouyang Bian was so solemn.

The two big rivers in China are called rivers and rivers. There is no need to add any prefixes to know that they refer to the Yellow River and the Yangtze River.

These two mother rivers that have nurtured Chinese civilization, and the vast river water that has churned day and night has not only nourished the flesh and blood of the Chinese people, but also brought endless suffering to the Chinese people.

The biggest difficulty in developing the Jianghan Plain is this section of Jingjiang.

"...If you want to develop Jianghan, you need to tame Jingjiang!" Ouyang Bian came to a conclusion.

Everyone was shocked.

Wen Yanbo trembled and said, "Ji Mo, you are afraid you are crazy, Jingjiang...how to tame it!"

Fu Bi looked at Ouyang Bian with a surprised look, as if he knew this son-in-law for the first time: "Ji Mo, you are going to go against the will of heaven!"

Bao Zheng, who had not spoken much, clasped his fists at Zhao Zhen and said, "Your Majesty, Ji Mo's idea is wild and unbelievable, so please observe clearly!"

Cai Xiang didn't say anything, but when he looked surprised, he knew that he understood.

Zhao Zhen looked at Wu Kui, and the scholar smiled slightly: "Let me listen."

Zhao Zhen took a deep breath: "You have to finish listening, Ji Mo, you can continue talking."

Ouyang Bian nodded.

"...The Yangtze River is almost in Jingjiang. I still understand this principle. I understand the concerns of my husbands.

However, the Central Plains have many people and few lands, the land is becoming increasingly barren, and land annexation... Haha, it is becoming increasingly serious. The rich have fields and fields, while the poor have no place to stand.

Therefore, when there is a natural disaster, the court has to recruit refugees to join the wing army for food. Even so, there are rebellions every year and mobs every year, so you will not turn a blind eye.

Now the north can no longer accommodate such a huge population. If the Song Dynasty wants to find a way out, it must go south and south!"

Ouyang Bian's fingers were gestured near the Yangtze River.

"...Look at Jiangnan, two lakes, Guangdong and Guangxi, there are fertile land everywhere, but we are curled up on this small piece of land in the Central Plains.

The Song Dynasty and Liao and Xia competed against each other, and were trapped in the year-end and food. Once there was any drought and flood, my husbands would be as beautiful as the earth.

Because you know that once there is a disaster, the world will face famine. Haven’t you lived enough of such a life?"

Ouyang Bian was passionate, almost like a speech, but in fact he was also giving a speech.

"... As long as we go south, we can solve these problems. Once the two lakes become the granary of the Song Dynasty, Jiangnan can be transformed into a base for economic crops such as cotton, mulberry fields, etc., and vigorously develop foreign trade commodities. Why should the Song Dynasty worry about insufficient national use?"

Zhao Zhen, Wen Yanbo and others looked at each other.

"...I am not a reckless person. It seems to be risky to develop Jianghan, but in fact I can do it step by step.

I divided it into several steps. The first step is to manage Jingjiang. Jingjiang has nine holes and eighteen holes for flood discharge. I plan to mobilize millions of people to carry out this project, clear nine holes and eighteen holes, build Jingjiang flood diversion project, build a flood control embankment, and change it to straight..."

Wen Yanbo was frightened and quickly stopped Ouyang Bian: "You talk about it first, how much money will it cost and how many people?"

Ouyang Bian smiled: "It's almost enough to invest tens of millions of dollars in the early stage..."

"How many!" Fu Bi broke his voice.

Ouyang Bian calculated carefully: "Hey, this is not much. Changing the curve to a straight line seems to be a lot of trouble, but it can reduce the impact of the river water and facilitate flood discharge. Flood diversion projects are essential. Once the project goals can be achieved, at least 30 million mu of arable land can be developed in the Jianghan Plain..."

Zhao Zhen, Wen Yanbo and others showed a scorching light.

Thirty million mu of arable land!

This is also amazing.

Is it worth it to exchange 10 million stagnant for 30 million mu of arable land?

Too worth it!

It seems not cost-effective to exchange for one acre of land for a whole month. The land price in the Song Dynasty was actually only a few hundred cents per acre, and it was indeed not worth it if calculated in this way.

But for a country, the increased land can feed more people and provide more taxes. This is not a question of whether it is worth it or not, but involves the issue of the existence of the regime.

Wen Yanbo's abacus was knocking loudly: "There are so many?"

Ouyang Bian nodded and smiled, "This is to consider leaving a flood diversion area and trying to maintain the remaining amount after the Jianghan Plain regulates the flood function. If you are desperate for short-term development, let alone 30 million mu, 80 million mu can be used for you to complete it."

Zhao Zhen asked, "Where is that person, how many people do you need?"

Ouyang Bian stretched out a finger: "One million people!"

Zhao Zhen's face turned pale suddenly.

"It's ridiculous. It's a big deal to use so many people to move the country. How could the Song Dynasty withstand such troubles!" Fu Bi scolded angrily.

Ouyang Bian looked at Fu Bi, then looked at Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief: "The rich husband is right, don't mention this matter again."

Ouyang Bian said anxiously: "Your Majesty!"

Zhao Zhen waved his hand: "It's like this today, I'm tired."

Zhao Zhen turned around and walked into the inner room. Zheng Dayong looked at Ouyang Bian and shook his head, sighed and followed behind.

Wen Yanbo smiled and comforted: "Little monk, don't be anxious. Take your time. Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food. If you can't be anxious, let's get the central bank well first."

Ouyang Bian remained silent.

Wen Yanbo shook his head and left.

Bao Zheng, Wu Kui and others also left one after another, Fu Bi stayed behind and said to Ouyang Bian: "Let's go, go home for dinner, Jianjia misses you very much."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Bian looked up and smiled with Fu Bi, nodding: "Well, let's go."

Sitting in Ouyang Bian's carriage, Fu Bi saw that Ouyang Bian seemed to be in a bad mood and said, "Is it because I am angry?"

Ouyang Bian smiled bitterly and said, "What did my father-in-law say? How can I not know your kindness? It is appropriate for you to say those words. If you don't say them, your Majesty will be left with a knot in his heart."

Fu Bi was very pleased: "It's good that you understand. It's true that he is a smart person. But today's development of the Two Lakes is not a good idea."
