Chu Feifei was sad and indignant: "Your Majesty, do you know how much silver it costs to repair the canal?" ”

The emperor nodded: "I really know that the price of this canal and embankment ranges from 30 taels to 300 taels per zhang, depending on how you plan to build this canal." ”

Chu Feifei didn't expect that this emperor was actually an emperor who understood. It's just that 300 taels per zhang is too expensive, if she is allowed to preside, she will definitely not be able to spend so much silver, no, the point is not here.

"The emperor only plans to give out tens of thousands of taels of silver, which is not enough for the new river embankment after the diversion of Qishui, right?" Chu Feifei sneered.

The emperor sighed: "Shao Qing, it's not that I don't want to repair, I'm really embarrassed, you don't care about this canal repair fundraising, let's let the kid of the Guan family and Zhao Shengde go to worry about it." ”

Speaking of repairing the canal, Chu Feifei's mind turned, aside from the attractive giant bead, her business in Scarlet House was all waterways, and she had plans to dig canals and transform waterways by herself. If the water canals in the whole country can be planned by her, the benefits brought by this are really not half a bit.

Chu Feifei thought of this and said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Shangshu is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, to put it bluntly, he is a nerd who can write and paint, where do you ask him to raise money, then Guan Dingchuan is a commoner, and how much silver can he raise?" ”

The emperor also frowned deeply: "This is also the reason why I am so worried that I can't think about tea and dinner." But I am the treasury" The emperor looked at Chu Feifei: "Shao Qing, why don't you see if you can hand over the public silver in the second half of the year first?" Need it urgently? ”

Chu Feifei couldn't help but glared at the emperor: "I haven't seen the silver in the second half of the year." Where will I hand it over for you first? Besides, you still don't let me turn around, there is no money, what do I take to buy goods, and what do I use to pay the wages of those merchants? ”

The emperor smiled bitterly: "I also know, I just asked. Alas~~" The emperor looked up to the sky and sighed, his sorrow was overflowing, and he seemed to have returned to the appearance of Chu Feifei when he first saw him, with eyebrows like spring mountains and eyes like beautiful water. It's just that there is always a sad look between the eyebrows.

Then. Wu Yidao, who was on the side, said: "Lord Shao, if you are asked to preside over the repair of the canal in this flood, will you have a way to raise money?" ”

Chu Feifei felt a liver pain, that giant bead. The aqueduct. It's all the things she wants to get. But if she were to pay all the money herself, she would be distressed, and she didn't have that much money now.

Chu Feifei frowned and did not answer.

The emperor was sorrowful. But he has been observing Chu Feifei's face, and knows that Chu Feifei is really embarrassed, so he said: "Shao Qing, it's better like this, I will give you the public bank in the second half of the year, how about you take it all to repair the canal?" ”

Chu Feifei didn't answer, but began to pace in place, calculating in his heart the silver taels he needed, the scale he could do, and what other channels he could get the silver.

Several other people in the hall all looked at Chu Feifei with bated breath, and their eyes turned with Chu Feifei's figure.

Finally, Chu Feifei stopped, turned to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, I can pay all the silver for this flood repair, but I have a few conditions, if the emperor can't agree, then you should send someone else to deal with the flood this time." ”

The emperor suppressed the excitement in his heart and said cautiously: "Shao Qing, please speak." ”

"First, I want the military and political power of the fourteen counties under Jinju for twenty years. During the time limit, Jinju will be governed by me, and there is no need to report everything to the imperial court, and the imperial court can send people to supervise it, but it is not allowed to meddle in my local affairs. During the period, Jinju was financially independent and would not ask for a son from the imperial court, but it would not pay various taxes to the imperial court. After the deadline, the counties under Jinju will be exempted from tax for five years and reduced for ten years. The emperor may agree? ”

The emperor frowned slightly, and Wu Yi, the commander of the forbidden army, sneered on the side: "Lord Shao, are you going to turn Jinzhou into your own fief?" Lord Shao is not a prince, and second, he is not a relative of the emperor, this is a fief for the minister, but it is not the rule of our court! ”

The corners of Chu Fei's mouth pursed a hint of sneer, and he looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, this Jinzhou has been flooded since ancient times, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as the people are not living, don't say that I only need the right to use it for twenty years, even if I really ask for a fief, I don't think the emperor will give me such a broken place, right?" ”

The emperor coughed lightly: "If Shao Qing succeeds in controlling the water this time, it is nothing to add the title of prince, and it doesn't hurt to take this Jinzhou if Shao Qing likes it, and I will reward other rich counties and counties to supply Shao Qing." ”

Chu Feifei raised his eyebrows at Wu Yi, and then said: "In addition, I also need 50,000 forbidden troops as helpers, and the deadline is to repair the river." I will bear the military salary during the construction of the canal, can the emperor agree? ”

"Fifty thousand?" Wu Yi couldn't help but take a step forward: "Lord Shao, do you know that the total number of forbidden troops is only 100,000?" You took away 100,000 forbidden troops, what should you do with the defense of the capital? What about the defense of the Imperial City? ”

Chu Feifei said innocently: "I don't understand this, I see that there are so many troops stationed in the Gyeonggi camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and there are hundreds of thousands, is it not under the control of General Wu?" ”

Wu Yi gritted his teeth in anger and explained to this woman that the division of power in the military is to play the piano to the cow! She thought that his forbidden army was one of those rabble, and she casually asked for 50,000, but the forbidden army under him was all elite soldiers with one as ten! The 50,000 forbidden troops were pulled out and attacked any big city was enough. Let his soldiers dig a canal for her? Does she know what it means to be overkill?

Wu Yi snorted and turned to the emperor: "Your Majesty, minister"

The emperor's eyes flashed slightly, and he raised his hand to stop Wu Yi: "I'm right." ”

Wu Yi was in a hurry: "Your Majesty, the duty of the forbidden army is to guard the imperial city, how can it be easily withdrawn by half!" ”

The emperor smiled lightly and said: "Wu Yi, your forbidden army is good, but the Gyeonggi camp has been idle for too long, since there is a shortage of manpower now, I think you will take over the military power of the Gyeonggi camp, how about all of them being incorporated into the forbidden army?" ”

Wu Yi's heart jumped heavily, lowered his head, and replied in a deep voice: "Yes!" ”

On the side of the Gyeonggi camp, although the soldiers are in the hands of the emperor, the six princes took office as the supervisor of the Gyeonggi camp during the first emperor's period. The emperor had long regarded the Gyeonggi camp as a great danger, and now that Lord Shao had asked for half of the men of the forbidden army, it was an excellent opportunity to take back the military power of the Gyeonggi camp.

Wu Yi hung his head, secretly pondering the details of this incorporation in his heart, this time, it was a heavy blow to the power of the six princes, and there seemed to be some involvement between the six princes and this Lord Shao, I don't know how the six princes would feel if they learned that their losses were all from this woman?
