I Just Won't Play By The Book-Novel

255 Chapter 200, was there a leader

In other words, one could see the level of his subordinates from the leader, and vice versa. The level of his subordinates could also see the level of their leader.

However, Deng Bo had those young officials under him. After the investigation by Jiang Beiran, these people did enter the imperial court through “Buying officials.”.

When an imperial court started buying officials and selling officials, it was almost the end. However, there were more than one stubborn official like Shi Xing ‘an in the imperial court, after Jiang Beiran’s “Morning Court”that day had taken responsibility for those officials, many officials came to advise him and put forward various opinions.

When Jiang Beiran recruited them into the palace, they could not only answer smoothly to their own areas of jurisdiction, but they could also come up with new ideas for other matters.

Even these eunuchs who stayed in the palace were mostly capable. They were not only sycophants, but real eunuchs, not little eunuchs who only knew how to serve others.

To be able to make the imperial court so polarize, Jiang Beiran also thought that Deng Bo was a strange person.

Jiang Beiran also asked the ministers about their views and impressions of Deng Bo, and they also answered very quickly. They thought that Deng Bo was an ambitious emperor, but his steps were too big and he was bewitched by a villain.

As for why they said that, it was because when Deng Bo first ascended to the throne, he was also diligent in governing the country, but later on, his temperament suddenly changed, as if he lost interest in governing the country overnight, on the surface, he would still attend court meetings, but his main energy was diverted to other things.

Jiang Beiran, who knew the inside story, naturally knew that Deng Bo must have been planning to overthrow Fengzhou during that time.

In a sense, Deng Bo’s philosophy was similar to Yin Jianghong’s. He also thought that the majesty of the dynasty was very important to a country. However, he did not plan to bring Yin Jianghong along, he planned to rebuild an imperial court on the ruins. Would Yin Jianghong agree to it?

However, when Jiang Beiran asked who the villain who bewitched Deng Bo was, all the ministers expressed that they did not know. At the same time, there was a hint of worry in their words. They were afraid that one day, Jiang Beiran’s temperament would change too.

“Your Majesty, the books are here.”

Putting away the numerous thoughts in his mind, Jiang Beiran opened his eyes, sat up, and took the two books.

Flipping open the collection of water inquiries, Jiang Beiran looked in the direction of the beam gang and asked, “Grand Tutor, based on what you see, can we cut the canal?”

The beam gang bowed and said, “I don’t know anything about water conservancy. I only know that there is a precedent of opening a chasm in the book. Therefore, the water of the river is guided by the water of Anhong.”

“Oh? which book is it?”

Beam gang thought for a moment and replied, “The book is called the record of the Anhong River.”

“As expected, there is an old man in the family. It’s as if there is a treasure.”

Jiang Beiran nodded in satisfaction and immediately said, “Be loyal. Go and bring this book for me.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Soon, Gu Jingzhong came back with an old book with an old cover. Jiang Beiran took it and immediately began to read it.

However, he was a little disappointed after reading it. Compared to the canal, this so-called gap was at most a water pipe. There was no comparison. If they really wanted to dig a canal.., although the things written in this book could be used for reference, there was not much that could be used for reference.

However, the benefit of digging the gap was that it made Jiang Beiran even more determined to dig a canal.

First of all, as long as the canal was dug from the south to the north and became a major artery, it would be extremely convenient for the north-south trade.

Once a disaster occurred, disaster relief materials could be quickly sent to the disaster areas through the Grand Canal. Moreover, the artificial canal itself played a huge role in transporting water. Once a drought occurred.., both the local and imperial court could easily send water to the disaster area through the canal, completing the moistening of the drought area.

This could undoubtedly greatly increase the imperial court’s disaster relief ability and the chances of the people surviving after the disaster occurred.

A small chasm could save a county. If a canal was opened, it could be said that the entire Fengzhou would not have to worry too much about a drought in the future.

As for the difficulty of building a canal, although Jiang Beiran did not know how to do a Water Conservancy project, since the Sui dynasty could build a canal, Jiang Beiran believed that the technical difficulty would not be too high. There should be a corresponding talent in Sheng Kingdom.

Putting down the book, Jiang Beiran looked at shuanggang and asked, “Grand Tutor, if you were to recommend someone to build a canal, who would you recommend?”

Shu gang cupped his hands and said, “I rarely ask about the matters of the imperial court. I really don’t know which official to recommend. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.”

Because of the special nature of the position of grand tutor, even if Shu gang wanted to deal with the officials in the imperial court, most of the officials would avoid him.

The reason why Jiang Beiran asked this question was just to give him a casual knock. As an emperor, he had to have this delicate little habit.

Putting aside the fact that opening the canal was bound to take a long time to start.., jiang Beiran thought for a moment and said, “Grand Tutor, now that I have gradually become familiar with the matters of the imperial court, I realize that Sheng Kingdom is already in a state of endless waste. What do you think I will do next to change the current situation?”

Deng Bo had been in power for more than ten years, and most of his thoughts were on how to subvert the black and white paths. Naturally, he did not pay too much attention to the governance of the country, because in his plan, Fengzhou was destined to be in chaos, no matter how well he governed it, it was useless.

Therefore, in the current Sheng kingdom, if some prosperous places or nearby towns that were supported by the righteous or demonic cult could still survive, some remote counties and villages would be in dire straits.

Before he could mobilize the strength of the cultivators to help the people, Jiang Beiran still needed to think of some policies to help them save themselves.

After the beam gang heard this, he cupped his hands and answered, “I think the current policies need to rest with the people and restore the most basic productive forces, such as light corvee and Light Corvee.”

After listening, Shuanggang cupped his hands and said, “I rarely ask about the matters of the imperial court. I really don’t know which official to recommend. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.”

Because of the special nature of the position of grand tutor, in a situation where it had already become an empty title, even if Shuanggang wanted to deal with the officials in the imperial court, most of the officials would avoid him.

The reason why Jiang Beiran asked this was just a casual knock. As an emperor, it was necessary to have such delicate little habits.

Putting aside the matter of opening the canal, which was destined to take a long time to start, jiang Beiran thought for a moment and said, “Grand Tutor, now that I am gradually familiar with the matters of the imperial court, I realize that Sheng Kingdom is already in a state of endless waste waiting to be raised. What do you think I will do next to change the current situation?”
