Qiming 1158

Chapter 664

Wang Lun's doubts are destined to be unanswered, but in any case, Zhao Gou's attitude has been confirmed.

The Southern Song Dynasty will never hand over the annual coins just through a negotiation.

In Zhao Gou's view, to do nothing and give Suibi directly is a serious insult to Zhao Gou's personality and the national character of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it is downright contempt, and Zhao Gou will never agree.

Wang Lun had no choice but to go to Xin Qiji to explain the matter clearly, and told Xin Qiji that Da Song's attitude was that this matter should not be discussed.

Don't even think about old coins or something.

After Xin Qiji heard it, he laughed again and again, and then kept nodding his head, saying "okay, okay", and then quickly led the team to leave.

In order to show sincerity, the Southern Song Dynasty still decided to send someone to escort Xin Qiji out of the Southern Song Dynasty, so that he could leave the Southern Song Dynasty safely and avoid any unpredictable events.

But this time, Wang Lun didn't escort him. The escort became Zhou Linzhi, who was a lower level. It seemed that this was the way for the Southern Song Dynasty to express their dissatisfaction. Of course, nothing happened on the way north.

When Xin Qiji arrived at the border of Chuzhou and Haizhou, he said something in his heart to Zhou Linzhi, who escorted him all the way north.

"It is not a wise decision to not negotiate to lower the price when it is possible to negotiate to lower the price, to have to kneel and beg for mercy when the matter is irreversible, and lose the right to negotiate the price.

Once the countries reach the final step, they must decide the winner and loser. For the loser, there is absolutely no room for negotiation. The winner must accept all the conditions. Is this what the Southern Dynasties want to see? ? "

Xin Qiji sincerely admonished Zhou Linzhi and the Southern Song Dynasty.

Zhou Linzhi was not a hard-headed person at first, and his external stance favored harmony, but Xin Qiji's words were a bit contemptuous, and even he couldn't help it, so he felt a burst of anger in his heart, and his face turned cold.

"Director Xin means that the Northern Dynasty has decided to use troops against the Song Dynasty? And the Northern Dynasty also thinks that the Song Dynasty will inevitably be defeated? Does the Northern Dynasty look down on the Song Dynasty too much?"

"Everyone knows things, what else can I say? Zhou Shumi, Zhou Shumi knows the situation of the Southern Dynasties army better than I do. In the face of gold thieves, there is still nothing that can be done, let alone in the face of Da Ming who destroyed the Jin Kingdom? "

Xin Qiji shook his head: "If Nanchao agrees on this, we can still talk about the price, make some concessions, and come to a conclusion that everyone is satisfied with, but Nanchao's rejection is so neat and tidy, but there is no room left for himself. .

Moreover, I am also very strange, when facing the Jin Kingdom, why didn't the Southern Dynasties Qunxian have such a backbone?In the face of Jin Guo's request, Nan Chao agreed to all of them, and even killed Yue Fei, who had made great achievements in battle. "

Zhou Linzhi's heart trembled, and he quickly took a deep breath to calm down his bad mood.

"Why should President Xin be aggressive? He also said such inappropriate words. As the saying goes, clay figurines are also three-pointed in anger. If they really anger the Song Dynasty, things will never settle down so easily. So long for war?"

"I'm not being aggressive. I'm trying to persuade you. You know that things cannot be violated.

Xin Qiji shook his head.

"Isn't this the aggressiveness of the Northern Dynasty?"

Zhou Linzhi said angrily: "I also ask President Xin to report to the Emperor of the Northern Dynasty after returning to the court. The Song Dynasty will never agree to the matter of Suibi! The Northern Dynasty had better seriously review its behavior, otherwise, what step will the two countries take? But it's really hard to say!"

After speaking, Zhou Linzhi led the team away.

Xin Qiji looked at the back of Zhou Linzhi's departure and shook his head.

"Not hard when it should be hard, not soft when it should be soft, these people are really hopeless."

After speaking, Xin Qiji turned around and left without looking at them again.

After Xin Qiji entered Haizhou, he sent people to quickly go north to pass the news of the rejection of the old coins in the Southern Song Dynasty to Zhongdu, so that Su Yonglin knew as soon as possible and made a response plan.

At this moment, Su Yonglin was studying a strange article in the Zhongdu Palace - the book of Daohe Xingsheng.

This strange article was written by Zuolang Li Chui, a book written during the Zhenzong period of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is Su Yonglin's impression of the one that caused the collapse of the Yellow River [The Origin of All Evils].

This article was completed during the reign of Zhenzong and was not adopted. Later, it was stored in the Kaifeng Palace. When Jin destroyed the Song Dynasty, he took it away and stored it in the court of the Jin Kingdom. After Su Yonglin broke the capital and destroyed Jin, he also got this strange article. .

But Su Yonglin didn't know it at the time. Until recently, in order to study and determine the Yellow River diversion plan in detail, Su Yonglin accidentally got it when he asked the officials in the palace to look for relevant books from the Jin Dynasty's treasury.

After getting this strange article, Su Yonglin read it carefully, then read it a second time and a third time, and finally determined that this article is not the root of all evil. On the contrary, what this article contains is Li Chui himself. In order to change the situation of frequent diversions and flooding of the Yellow River, the crystallization of wisdom.

The actions of Sanyi Huihe in the Northern Song Dynasty were not caused by Li Chui's book of guiding the river, and Li Chui's opinions were shelved without being adopted at all. It has nothing to do with Li Chui.

At that time, regardless of whether there were Li Chui and Daohe Xingshengshu, the Yellow River would have to face a major overhaul. Li Chui just provided an opinion that was not adopted, and it was a bit wrong to bear the reputation of being the source of all evil.

Moreover, after Su Yonglin carefully studied this article, he found that Li Chui's plan for the improvement of the Yellow River was really clear and clear, with detailed arguments and results from field inspections, as well as specific action plans.

It's just that the amount of work is really huge.

In short, Li Chui believes that the reason why the Yellow River bursts now is mainly because the sedimentation of the river bed is too high, so that the downstream river channels are not smooth to go to sea, so since one river channel is not happy, it is better to dig six channels for the Yellow River to go to sea at the same time.

In this way, on the one hand, it can reduce the pressure of the old Yellow River to go to sea and divert the sediment. On the other hand, it can build vast agricultural water conservancy facilities by planning six river basins to irrigate the farmland in the Central Plains. By the way, it can also geographically strengthen the eastern part of Hebei. military defense.

It can be said that Li Chui's opinion is not for the diversion of the Yellow River, but to prevent the Yellow River from being diverted frequently. For this reason, six diversions must be repaired to reduce the flow pressure on the main route of the Yellow River and prevent the Yellow River from being diverted again to the greatest extent.

Zhenzong Zhao Heng attached great importance to this suggestion with theoretical basis and action suggestions, and convened the ministers to discuss it, and the final conclusion was negative.

Zhao Heng and the ministers all believed that [the detailed descriptions are quite well-known, and the books and pictures are included, although it is easy to promote bandits, and Bo Qiao can be awarded].

But [because of the need to build an embankment of 21 miles, [-] laborers, and it will take [-] days to occupy the people's fields, it is quite troublesome], and they are also worried that even if this plan is fully implemented, the daily maintenance required for the six rivers How much does it cost?
Going back [-] steps, even if all the money is released, if the plan is realized and the expected effect is not achieved, won't it be over?
This plan is too huge, and it affects the whole body. It is related to the safety of the Yellow River and the survival of the country. Neither Zhao Heng nor his ministers dared to make a big gamble on this issue, and Li Chui himself is not a high-ranking official, and the court did not support him. political power, so the plan was denied.

As for the divine operation of Song Junchen Sanyi Huihe, it was only the top decision-making level of the Song Dynasty to participate in, and it had nothing to do with Li Chui, a small person in the officialdom.

After Su Yonglin read the article and the drawings in detail, he called Shizheng, the minister of industry, and Tian Guizi, the general manager of the Yellow River Remediation Program, and showed the article and drawings to both of them.

The two gathered together to watch, and after reading it, they sighed.

"I never thought that someone would propose such a grand plan to remediate the Yellow River more than 100 years ago."

"His courage, thorough thinking, and detailed plans are all unparalleled by other people. If the Yellow River was rectified in this way, the situation today may really be different."

Both Tian Guizi and Shi Zheng agreed with this plan and felt a sense of grievance against them.
