Chapter 267: Consolation

"Let me tell me," Li Zhi said in a deep voice.

I was not happy either. When my son grew up, he was relieved, but he seemed to not disappoint himself. But when he grew up, he became "aware" and knew that he had negotiated with him. He felt very uncomfortable.

"The new canal is not only two canals, but there are many people, houses, and irrigation along the way. Since the father succeeded to the throne, he has always been benevolent in politics. The new canal is also benevolent in politics, but the intention of the court may be good, and the execution of the officials below may not be in line with the implementation of the officials below. The cost is huge, and the new canals that are mostly based on digging stones and opening mountains, and there are even many cliffs along the way. Changing generals at the last stage is a taboo in military strategists. The new canal is also the same. Moreover, the project is huge, and it may take another five or six years to complete. Therefore, the son minister recommended himself and asked the father to let the son minister take over the new canal for easy management."

Of course, it's not that simple.

But I lost control and didn't fight at this time, and I discovered it. I thought my mother even discovered it. My mother did not hate her, otherwise it would be impossible to remind herself from time to time. But this is a difficult situation, just like a poor man who is hungry and can even dream of eating ten or eight bark cakes. When he is full, he wants to eat meat and fish. Once the mother seizes more real power, his ideas will definitely be different. If the mother is sure to be the queen, her little elbow and calves...

Therefore, it is time to fight.

Not understanding everything, and half of it, Li Zhi stared at his son.

There was lightning and thunder again, but Li Wei did not give in and said, "The Xinqu was proposed by Erchen. What can be implemented is only part of Guangtongqu. Technology, funds, people's strength, etc., which is a long process. If Erchen does not execute, he can solve all problems. Father, do you think it is possible? After Dafeichuan's defeat, the court can send another brave general to Dafeichuan again to turn the world around again? It's not that Erchen does not want to take responsibility for his father and does not take on the responsibility of Xinqu, and Erchen does not have the ability to solve all the problems."

To put it bluntly, if you promise me, you will find a way. If you don’t promise me to continue to go back to the East Palace to read my books, it has nothing to do with me.

Not too much, my father named my mother the queen, and my mother's family became Zong Zhengqing as soon as she whispered. As for me, I didn't even agree to accept a concubine, but now I only want to supervise Xinqu's position... but it depends on what my father thinks.

Li Zhi looked at each other for a moment and said in a deep voice: "What about the other two conditions?"

The other two conditions are relatively simple. Li Wei said: "The second condition is that in the next five to six years, the income obtained by the Guangzhou Maritime Bureau will still belong to the court. The other two Maritime Bureaus and maritime income must be invested in the new canal, and the court departments cannot misappropriate it."

"This is OK," Li Zhi pondered for a moment.

Guangzhou Maritime and Vehicles can also bring more than 100,000 yuan or more than 200,000 yuan in revenue to the court a year. (Note) It is unknown how many other two sea cities will be, but the income is not much now. It only takes five or six years, which is not an excessive requirement. Even if the two cities can bring 500,000 yuan and 600,000 yuan in taxes a year, it is far from the consumption of the two channels.

Another thing is that if you sell the quota at sea, one hundred people have already "sold", and the rest are unwilling to pay much. If you sell too much, the ministers will object more, and it is not a solution. Therefore, this condition is not too much, and you can immediately accept it.

Li Wei said again: "Father, three people talk about the tiger. The union this year is less than last year, but the construction is difficult, and the cost may increase a lot. The three provinces and six ministries are unwilling to allocate money, and they cannot forcibly collect money from the people and harass the people. In order to raise funds, the son minister had to find another way, and there may be censors who will continue to impeach. The father also asked the son minister to support him and do not use the censors' short-sightedness to interrupt the new canal project."

Li Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "This is OK..."

The reason is very simple. The imperial treasury does not allocate funds, and even if the taxes from the two Maritime Bureaus are given, it is far from enough to pay for the canal repair this year. I can only find another way, but I was suspicious in my heart that my son came up with some ideas to increase wealth.

After saying that, Li Zhi didn't say anything, but was thinking in his heart, what his son meant for five or six years? Could it be that I'll wait for you for five or six years, and you will abdicate in five or six years! Li Wei felt uncomfortable, but Li Zhi felt that his son was equally strong, aggressive, and a little uncomfortable.

I never thought about it, but I just kept beating it so that my son would not be too popular.

The two of them remained silent, but the chilling cicadas outside kept crying.

After a while, Li Zhi said: "Can you guarantee that you can work smoothly without using other funds from the court?"

"This is not possible. First of all, this year, it is already the end of August, and the autumn water is getting calmer. If you want to start construction quickly, it is time to start construction. Therefore, the ministers still need the court to continue to allocate 200,000 yuan to support it, which can be similar to the examples of last year, and the same will be true for several years. In addition, the next few years, are all dangerous workers. The ministers try to minimize casualties among the civil servants, but it is unlikely that all civil servants will be safe and sound. It can only be said that they will not let tens of thousands of civil servants die unjustly among the rocks like Emperor Wen of Sui built Jiucheng Palace."

Be cautious and be cautious and have to say ugly words first.

Li Zhi was in a daze again, thinking a lot, and thinking about the funds, 200,000 yuan of money, which the court could squeeze out, and asked Wei Hongji. In summer, he had been drilling around Xinkaihe and Danshuizhi, and then roughly took up most of the money. With the funds raised from the people, he calculated that the two projects of Xinkaihe and Danshui downstream dredging may cost more than one million yuan.

Just the beginning, the work of cutting Luo into Dan, from Caoqiaoguan to Shangzhou was even greater, and then the Zhengdang Canal was re-drawn. Unlike Guangtong Canal, the siltation time was not long, and it was just slightly cleared. Some areas were silted, some rivers changed directions, and even the mountains collapsed, becoming a Shishan Pressure Canal. However, there was no huge project from Zhengdang Canal to Shangzhou Danshui!

The success of the two channels and does not harm the people will be an unparalleled political achievement since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. However, when Wei Hongji heard that he had no money, he immediately gave up.

After thinking about it, he finally said, "I'm sure."

...

He did not go back immediately and went to find his mother Wu Zetian.

The most depressing thing is probably the mother, it is the mother. If it were someone else, it might be that my father's slap would be fooled.

Looking at my mother, her appearance was still very beautiful. In terms of her appearance, she created a miracle. She didn't know how to speak, so she had to hold her mother's hand, which had a meaning that everything was indifferent.

Wu Zetian said to Li Shoucheng: "Empress Li, go and bring the Pucha that Zhaoman has tributed."

Pu'er tea is Pu'er tea. Unlike Zhongyuan tea cakes, because it has a long fermentation time and a black color, people in the Central Plains call it black tea. For people in the Central Plains who are used to drinking light green tea, black tea is difficult to eat. However, compared with green tea, black tea has a stronger taste. Li Wei tasted it several times when he was in Erhai Lake. The workmanship technology is still very backward, and the tea taste is far less than that of Pu'er tea, the famous Pu'er tea in later generations.

The origin mainly comes from some Zhaoman tribes south of Kunlun Pass, between the Lancang River and Wuliang Mountain. This place did not belong to the Tang Dynasty's throne area. Because this time Li Wei went south and achieved a great victory, Liang Jishou and others took the opportunity to expand the results of the battle, and then they subdued this area, or actively surrendered, and classified it as the Tang Dynasty's territory map album.

Li Shoucheng brought Pucha and brewed it for Li Wei.

Wu Zetian said: "This is the tribute brought by several Shengman tribes from Nanzhao in July to Zhongyuan for tribute."

Li Wei took a sip and the taste was the same, not better than the kind of Pucha he drank in the southwest. But being able to drink Pucha in the palace was also considered his achievements. Does his mother want to praise him? She didn't understand her intentions and looked at Wu Zetian suspiciously. Wu Zetian said, "This time, several Zhaoman came over and praised you in front of my palace and your father, saying that what you did in Nanzhao was very fair, and there were several measures. The people thought it was convenient and there were much less disputes."

"Mother, son minister just got the result by chance."

"It's not easy. In the past, Taizong once asked the ministers whether it was difficult to govern the country or to fight. In fact, in my opinion, it was more difficult to govern than to fight. *** has been fighting for so many years, and has killed millions of soldiers. But now it still rebels and surrenders. However, since you withdrew from Nanzhao, the territory has been very peaceful, which is rare."

Li Wei did not say anything. Nanzhao is different from the ***. These shameless people should be the best in the world, and their tenacity is rarely matched by other geniuses. But he didn't know what the purpose of his mother took Pucha and said. So he looked at his mother again and Wu Zetian said, "You have grown up and you can do a lot of things, and you can try to do them."

After saying that, his expression finally had a hint of bleakness.

Only then did Li Wei take advantage of the sunshine outside and see that the corners of his mother's eyes were also filled with dense crow's feet. His mother finally got older and older. He held her hand and said, "But the wisdom of his son is far inferior to his mother. In the future, the court still needs his mother's efforts."

It's extremely obscure.

A ray of light finally burst out from Wu Zetian's eyes.

Li Wei expressed his opinion and said, "It just so happened that there is something that my son needs to report to my mother and ask her to refer to it."

"Speak and listen."

Li Wei told the story.

Li Zhi couldn't ask, but since the mother and son had just "conversed" and Wu Zetian could ask, so he asked, "This is not a small amount of money, how do you get it?"

Li Wei said his plan, but in fact he was not only here to comfort his mother, but also to ask for instructions when his mother was in trouble, but also to ask for instructions. Wu Zetian was also afraid that his mother would misunderstand. Wu Zetian listened quietly. When Li Wei said that even if the five surnames and seven families were not long, it would not take long to show his ugly face. Wu Zetian laughed. Anyway, the mother and son had a similar stinky taste and had no good feelings for the five surnames and seven families.

After Li Wei finished speaking, he said, "The money matter has been resolved, but the matter that has never happened before is revealed, and the son-in-law is very worried."

I am afraid that censors will discuss it. If there are too many people impeached, my father will give up and even be implicated.

Wu Zetian said: "Honger, don't worry, think about how Pei Sheren did it in Yangzhou?"

Li Wei was a little confused.

Wu Zetian woke up: "He has repeatedly copied some large-scale industries, so why did the ministers in the court have very weak opposition? It is because Pei Sheren is seeking wealth for the court."

When talking about Pei Yan, Li Wei did not express his opinion.

Wu Zetian said again: "I just said that you have grown up and have the ability to do it, just do it. You are a man, not a wife, and you need to show some pride."
