Some people paid tribute to a number of rare treasures from the south of the Yangtze River, plus local products.
When the young master saw something good, he sent it to the palace.
Wende emperor Longyan great joy.
Call the home order of the young master to the palace and praise it.
The young master bowed to thank him and said, "the journey to the south of the Yangtze River is far away. In summer, you can go south by boat. In winter, the river is frozen, and some river sections are cut off. You can only go by land. From Beijing to Luozhou, the whole cement road is good. The journey from Luozhou to Jiangnan is difficult.
The official road has been run over by vehicles and horses for many years, and it is in disrepair for many years. As soon as the weather is cold, it is very hard for the goods to be transported to the capital from the south of the Yangtze River, which also delays things. However, the south of the Yangtze River is rich and the style of writing is quite prosperous. The court should also pay attention to one or two. "
"I also know that a good road can save a lot of time on the way without any bumps. But the court has no money
Emperor Wende sighed with emotion.
The Ministry of household has managed to save some money and grain, which must be used for the blade.
To Jiangnan to build roads?
It is not necessary to be so far away from the south of the Yangtze River and far away from the northern battlefield.
"The imperial court has no money, but all over the world has money. Can we follow the operation mode of the two cement roads from the capital to the northwest and to the Hexi, so that the four seas can go south to build roads. The old minister thought that it was not just a matter of money. The court can also take this opportunity to strengthen its control over the south of the Yangtze River.
The imperial court's influence on the South has always been relatively weak, which has something to do with the long journey and inconvenient communication. If the roads were built, the imperial system could be spread to the south of the Yangtze River in time, so that the people in the south of the Yangtze River would also know the meaning of the Holy Spirit. Jiangnan is rich, with vast territory and many cities. However, the commercial tax collected by the court from Jiangnan is less than half that of the capital.
Only because the sky is high and the road is far away, the court will feel helpless to the south of the Yangtze River. If the road is built, the time on the road can be shortened by at least half. If the capable Jin Wuwei is dispatched, his majesty will be able to grasp the situation in Jiangnan in time. It will not take months for the news to reach the capital. "
Wende Di nodded in secret, which was reasonable.
To control the south of the Yangtze River is what every emperor wants to do.
The difference is whether it can be done or not.
Seeing that emperor Wende was moved, the young master continued his efforts. "I dare not hope that the business tax of Jiangnan can catch up with the capital city and the tariff can be increased by one million taels. In this way, the plight of the Ministry of accounts was swept away. If the Hubu has money, the imperial court will be able to spare no effort and make some achievements, which is expected to be prosperous. "
The four characters of the prosperous age obviously moved the emperor Wende.
It is not only the literati who value the name before and after him, but also the emperor.
They all want to be famous in history and praised by later generations. They all want to leave a strong and colorful pen in this era.
Wende is a layman. He only has more than one desire.
He nodded again and again. The south of the Yangtze River is rich, but the capital is far away from the south of the Yangtze River, and the influence of the imperial court on the south of the Yangtze River is far less than that of the north. When I was young, I also went to Jiangnan. It was a good place. The only bad thing is that the local authorities are so arrogant that even the government is afraid of it.
There is no imperial court or me in the minds of those noble families. Hum! It's because the sky is high and the emperor is far away. I can't control them. It's really deceiving. "
"If all the roads from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River are paved with cement roads, the time from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River can be shortened by at least half. If the whole process is fast, the time can be shortened by twice.
The toll station can assume the responsibility of a post station and supply hot water for horses for the imperial court. Once something happens in the south of the Yangtze River, your majesty can get the news in the shortest time and give orders to deal with it in time. Don't give those rich people in the south of the Yangtze River time to live on the wall. "
Emperor Wende deeply thought, "uncle's words are very gratifying to me. If we, the Liu family, can have more people who share the worries for me like my uncle, I will not worry about the injustice of the world and the failure of the prosperous age. "
"I dare not. In fact, there are many good things in the clan, that is, they lack the opportunity to be outstanding. "
"I will give them the chance, for fear that they will not grasp it. Please pay more attention to the education of the clansmen. "
"The old minister did his best to live up to his Majesty's high expectations."
The emperor and his ministers staged a drama about Jun Xian Chen Zhong. The young master's family member was moved so much that he became red in his eyes and shed two tears.
Wende Di was also very excited.
Excited, but also did not forget the business.
Since Sihai has the ability to build roads, let Sihai repair them.
The cement road from the capital to Hedong proves that the toll station is in the hands of the imperial court, and there is no hope of making money at all.
The imperial court does its duty well and collects taxes wholeheartedly.
The business is done by professionals.
The imperial court saves money and material resources, collects taxes, and pays dividends.
When the matter of road construction was settled, the young master's order was relieved.
He finally lived up to Gu Jiu's trust.
The mouth is soft and the hands are short.
If you get good results, you have to work hard.The young master left Xingqing palace briskly and sent someone to send good news to Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu got the news, and Liu Zhao nagged, "or the ancestors love me, didn't let me worry, the matter was done. They also have an account of the group of wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River. When it gets hot in spring, we can start to build roads. "
Liu Zhao said: "Laozu Zong was short handed, so he had to work hard."
Gu Jiu glanced at each other in disgust, "you are such a bad person. Be polite. My ancestors have at least six points of sincerity for me, but I cherish it very much. "
Liu Zhao said with a smile, "good, good, all listen to you. I promise I won't be disrespectful to my ancestors. "
"That's what you said. Don't go back on it."
"If you repent, my highness is a dog."
Gu Jiu can't laugh or cry. How old is he? He still plays children's tricks.
……
Mr. Li has a hard time.
Because he was not so smart, Wende Di was more and more critical of him.
Mr. Li has a straight face all day, with an expression of no admittance.
Towards the end of the year, he was angry and asked to leave.
He did not consult Liu Zhao in advance.
When Liu Zhao went to the imperial court and learned about it, he had the intention to kill Mr. Li.
The governor's office in Northwest China has not been set up yet. If Mr. Li asks to leave at this time, his previous achievements have been wasted.
Across the hall, Liu Zhao threw several eye knives to Mr. Li.
Mr. Li remained unmoved.
He has asked to leave, and it is useless to regret. And he doesn't regret it.
Since the horizontal push can not move, it is better to retreat to advance.
If your majesty wants him to make room for Lu Shizhong, he should take the initiative and abdicate to make a good impression on his majesty.
It's a little bit like self comfort.
In fact, it's self consolation.
Lord Li secretly murmured to Lu Shizhong, "if I abdicate, please don't kill him."
Lu Shizhong squinted at Mr. Li, "you're joking!"
Wende was very satisfied.
Mr. Li finally got to know for a while.
Of course, in the early days, Emperor Wende was still trying to keep Mr. Li. And he left the memorial of his resignation in the middle.
In front of all the civil and military officials, Mr. Li will resolutely resign.
"I am too old to be driven. I can't share your worries for your majesty. Please allow Xu Chen to ask for his bones. "
Poof!
Mr. Li's face was ruddy and full of air, and there were few wrinkles, so he called himself a skeleton. How can those old men who are still standing in the court hall meet people?
People don't want face?
"You don't have to say anything about it. I don't want to."
Wende was firmly opposed to the resignation of Mr. Li.
Mr. Li also wanted to make a statement. Wende Di took the first step and left with his sleeve swinging.
Chang en quickly sang and drank, "retreat from the court!"
Then he chased after the emperor and returned to Xingqing palace.
As soon as the emperor Wende left, Jinluan hall suddenly turned into a food market, which was noisy.
Some of the courtiers surrounded him and some stood far away to see the joke.
More people went to Lu Shizhong and congratulated him in advance.
Lu Shizhong was expressionless and not hypocritical. He said, "I'm busy in government affairs, so I won't chat with you. Goodbye!"
He walked cleanly without any hesitation.
Mr. Li raised his voice suddenly and said to all the ministers around him: "I'm very free. I don't have a busy administration. You are welcome to chat with me. "
The Lu Shi, who had already reached the door, stopped for a moment and then moved on as if nothing had happened.
Liu Zhao did not join in the fun.
He just threw his eyes to Mr. Li to let him understand.
Mr. Li is a little empty. The more empty he was, the more he chatted with the courtiers.
In addition to Liu Zhao, the other princes and Lord Li politely left.
The third prince whispered to the second prince, "fortunately, I didn't have much contact with Mr. Li before, otherwise I would have lost a lot."
The second prince laughed and said, "Lu Shizhong is the emperor's adviser."
"However, Lu Shizhong always treated us in a polite way. Several offers were rejected. "
"No harm! No, there are others. Not everyone is as smelly and hard as Lu Shizhong
……
Liu Zhao was waiting for Mr. Li in the backyard of the idlers.
If there is no accident, here nine is a fixed meeting place.
Mr. Li came late and looked around before entering the door.
It seems that he is worried that Liu Zhao's ambush will do harm to him.
Liu Zhao scoffed and sarcastically said, "when did Lord Li become so obscene?"
Li, who just stepped into the door of the house, almost suffered from vomiting blood and apoplexy."I've always been graceful. How can I be obscene? Don't open your mouth if your highness can't speak. No one will treat you as mute. "
Liu Zhao ha ha ha sneer, "do you want to leave with dignity?"
Lord Li snorted coldly, "I don't believe your highness can't see what's going on now. Do you think we still have a chance to leave with dignity? Lu Shizhong is a man who doesn't eat hard and soft. It's impossible to expect him to help us
He went into the tea room and sat down on the floor before the short table.
Liu Zhao said, "it's reasonable that you have to ask for your resignation again. Then his father would write down the word "quasi". According to his father's temper, you will be relieved of your post before the end of the year when the Yamen is closed, and you will be sent to the top of the imperial court. Just because of one of your actions, the efforts we have made in front of us are all wasted. "
"How can your highness know that your Highness has given up all his previous achievements, not hidden flowers and bright flowers," Li said
Liu Zhao narrowed his eyes, "what does this mean?"
