Chapter 161： Is the princess wise

In fact, Gu Nuoer's proposal to build a canal was considered by Gu Yihan five years ago.

But at that time he was busy fighting in all directions and killing people, but he didn't have the energy to make room for the construction of the canal.

The further back you go, the more difficult it becomes to have no canal.

The slow exchange of materials between the north and the south has greatly affected the development of the country.

Gu Nuo'er's proposal, after Gu Yihan's thinking and sorting all night, the next day he called his confidant ministers to discuss the matter in the imperial study.

Building a canal is a major event. Although it may cost the people and money, the results are good and can benefit future generations for hundreds of years or more!

Gu Yihan was very happy when he explained to the ministers.

"This canal connecting north and south will not only enhance the wealth of the capital, but also drive more development and unexpected results.

In the future, we will have an additional waterway, and the ships of the merchants will pass through this. It snows in winter and the roads freeze, but the canals never!

The canal connects several major rivers in Daqi, spanning eight states and counties. In addition to transporting food and medicinal materials, it can do more things. "

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry pondered for a moment, then handed over the proposal: "The emperor's idea is really wonderful. Just building a canal will hurt the people in the end. I'm afraid that some people will complain, but it will be detrimental to the imperial power."

Gu Yihan is holding hands, and seems to have considered this aspect a long time ago: "I have asked the Ministry of Household to calculate the money, and for this matter, all the people who come to build the waterway will work ten times a day. The monthly salary is issued at the price of pen money.”

Several confidant ministers looked at each other, and ten cents a day was three cents higher than the monthly salary of ordinary workers on the market.

In this case, some people rush to build waterways.

Speaking of happiness, Gu Yihan raised his voice: "Yu Aiqing!"

Master Yu of Dali Temple quickly came out.

Not only to monitor the progress of the waterway, but also to monitor the local county governor, whether to give the people enough monthly stipends according to my instructions. "

Master Yu quickly surrendered.

Gu Yihan thought for a while with his hands behind his back, and summoned Chunshou: "It is proposed that the eldest prince does not have to rush back to Beijing, he will go north to Yizhou and wait, and he will also supervise the work together."

The ministers were shocked.

Because everyone knows that the eldest prince has been away for so many years, and now he is finally willing to come back from the frontier, but he has been arranged by the emperor to supervise the excavation of the waterway.

Building a waterway is not something that can be done in a short time.

As fast as four months, as slow as six months.

But everyone understands what the emperor means.

He arranged for his eldest son to show his attitude to the world and local officials.

There is no more suitable candidate than the First Prince, who represents absolute supreme power.

It’s a pity that the Queen Mother, I’m afraid I’ll have to wait again!

After everything was instructed, Gu Yihan was in high spirits, he rolled up his dragon sleeves, and wrote four words "Jisheng Canal".

Give the words to Chun Shou, let him make a plaque, and let Master Yu and the first prince carry them to Yizhou.

"My dear gentlemen, I have a hunch that a canal that marks the arteries of people's livelihood in this dynasty is about to be born, and you and I here are witnesses. This river, which benefits generations of generations, will bring meaning Unbelievable luck."

The ministers knelt down and shouted the emperor's wisdom.

Gu Yihan smiled and said, "It's not my fault, it's the princess' wiseness!"
