"Minister, I don't think so!"

In the main hall where hundreds of officials gathered in Dragon City, the minister of the household department raised objections.

"The construction of roads costs the people and money, the field roads, the official roads, even if these are ignored, the roads will appear by themselves, and the good people of the government and government everywhere will repair the roads when they see them."

"The minister believes that the construction of toll roads is inappropriate, which not only costs the people and money, but also is not conducive to the society of the country."

The old emperor sat there quietly, the expression on his face still the same as usual.

Joy and anger are not visible, but when they are angry, they are more majestic.

Compared with the performance of the old emperor, Jiang Zhenhai on the side was much inferior, and at this time, he secretly looked at the rest of the people, and waited for others to support him a little nervously.

Jiang Kedi waited, and after he saw that the emperor didn't speak, he slowly walked to the middle and stood in the middle of the battlefield where the speaker should stay.

It's not okay to come out early, you can't seem to be protecting Jiang Zhenhai.

Come out late, no matter what this shit is, it won't work, because the emperor's protection is something that everyone knows, and he, the Jiang family, can't forget where his ass is, and he can't help Jiang Zhenhai.

He didn't want to help Jiang Zhenhai speak, he couldn't help but speak.

It is no secret that Jiang Zhenhai looked for the emperor yesterday.

Since this is not a secret royal matter that can reach the ears of the rest of the people, it means that this is a little rumor revealed from above, otherwise it is impossible for him to know about this matter, let alone anyone to talk about such a fatal thing.

Now he Jiang Kedi doesn't speak, he just forgets where his ass is sitting.

"As the saying goes, take from the people, use it for the people."

Jiang Kedi also needed a little time to react, and he was like the rest of the people before he heard Jiang Zhenhai say part of the road construction plan.

When you are an official, you don't speak too fast, and the one who speaks fast is the spokesperson.

"At present, this is for the people, taken from the people, how can it be said that the people will work and lose money?"

Although the butt problem has long been determined on both sides, except for the gap in the middle, the left and right sides still need a few leaders to express their positions before the rest can follow up.

There are no left and right, only the royal and non-imperial parties.

The imperial party does not have to be surnamed Jiang, but if you follow the imperial party, you must be a good son, don't think it, you want the emperor to think, and the prince thinks.

If you refuse to remain silent and follow the imperial army, then you are not a staunch imperial party.

The old emperor has killed so many people, but above this court, there are still many non-imperial parties, and there are many virtuous people who are superficially ministers, but when they encounter big problems, they still think that the ministers are virtuous.

You say they are loyal ministers, what these loyal ministers want to do is to exercise imperial power in place of the emperor.

You say they are traitors, sometimes they really do things to defend the country's society.

Now that people on both sides have begun to speak and stand in line, it is natural that the people below will follow suit.

"The minister thinks it's inappropriate!"

"The minister agrees!"

"Master Jiang has a point!"

"Stupid!"

"This is a child's whimsical plan!"

"Ridiculous! I'll see it! ”

"Ridiculous! Now that the roads in the country are open, why do we need to build roads? Is the train not running fast, or is the horse not good enough? ”

"Building roads is a policy for the benefit of the country and the people!"

"What are the benefits other than costing people and money? Please speak up and let everyone hear it! ”

The old people in the court are all virtuous people with rich experience, and at this time, they sensed Jiang Zhenhai's problem, so the non-imperial party pointed the finger at Jiang Zhenhai.

Against one thing, the best solution is to deal with people.

No matter what Jiang Zhenhai's proposal is, he is a flaw!

The imperial party also looked at Jiang Zhenhai, and they were also not monolithic, and there were many differences on the issue of the succession of imperial power.

The old emperor also sat quietly on the supreme throne above, holding his cheeks quietly with one hand, tilting his head and quietly watching the performances of these people below.

He has already given Jiang Zhenhai a day to prepare, there is no preparation time for many things in the court, and they all have to fight back immediately, and this day's time is already very favorable to Jiang Zhenhai.

Jiang Zhenhai's preparation time is more than one day, he has been preparing for this plan since he knew about it!

Despite the nervousness in his heart, Jiang Zhenhai still stood up when others were looking for him.

"The construction of toll roads is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people."

"First, now that the country is safe and secure, many people have become rich, and they have accumulated a lot of money in their hands, but this money cannot sink and cannot be precipitated into the hands of a large number of ordinary people."

"The more favors the court, the more tax cuts and preferential treatment, the more money these people have, and the more they can't sink to the bottom."

"In the long run, the rich will be extravagant, the prices of food and all kinds of things will rise, and the money will become less and less valuable."

"The construction of toll roads is to allow the people at the bottom to get jobs, and the local counties and counties will take out the commercial and land taxes for road construction, so that these people can get the money that cannot be sunk."

"When these people have money, they buy and participate in the bazaar, which feeds back the business so that the local people can raise taxes again."

"Second, there is more or less grain in various places, some places have bumper grain harvests, and some encounter floods and droughts, and the construction of roads is to make better transportation between urban and rural counties and counties, and solve the pressure on trains and transportation."

"There are a lot of people in Caoyun, and if there are fewer things, I'm afraid some people will lose their livelihood jobs, so the roads built will cost money to use, and it is also to not have too much impact on Caoyun."

"Leaving the matter of fees to local officials also solves the pressure of tax collection on the side of the imperial court."

Jiang Zhenhai didn't say that it was okay, as soon as he said this, some people in the center jumped out to oppose it!

The director of the Cao Yun Department quickly said: "Cao Yun can transport a large number of goods, can save manpower and vehicle power, compared to the carriage is much better, the minister thinks that instead of working on the road, it is better to increase the construction of Cao Yun and expand the river!" ”

The appearance of the train has made Caoyun not as fragrant as before, and now it is going to build a highway, isn't this a smashing of jobs?

There are a lot of people in the Caoyun system, and they are basically fat!

Even if you are not a person from the Cao Yun system, you will receive the benefits of Cao Yun related personnel, so it has always been a big cake here!

The bigger the empire, the more important the location of this transportation traffic becomes!

During the first emperor's period, in order to curb the transportation and solve the transportation problem, the railway was built.

This is directly to cut off the dominant position in Caoyun!

And every year the railway is developing, although it is not as good as Caoyun, but all aspects are close to one-third of the volume.

The development of neat transportation ships on the Caoyun side, and the development of steam trains on the railway side, the two sides are not only competing for the military expenses of the imperial court, but also competing for coal resources, which can be said to be two very competitive departments.

Now looking at this meaning, a new department has to be created, which touches the vital interests of the bigwigs of Cao Yun and the railway!

If it weren't for Jiang Zhenhai, but Wang Lanling's suggestion, then Wang Lanling's family would have a problem.

Jiang Kedi originally thought that it was just an ordinary thing proposed by a child, and everyone was arguing and scolding here as usual, so forget it.

But if you listen carefully, it's a cold sweat, and this horse is already the main point of the battle for all parties!

"The minister thinks! This matter is open to discussion! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"It's a big deal!"

The people below began to express their stance again, anyway, they all had their own thoughts.

The old emperor has also thought a lot from yesterday to now, and he has also used this day to think about some things.

"Go on." The old emperor looked at Jiang Zhenhai and said lightly.

Jiang Zhenhai took a deep breath and continued to recite the draft of a person's speech in the room many times.

"After the toll road is built, it will be a road, and the rest will be a waterway dominated by water transportation and a railway dominated by trains."

"The advantages of the highway are wide reach, fast and convenient transportation, and the disadvantage is that the cost is high and the volume is small."

"The advantages of the railway are large in quantity, low cost, high safety and fast speed in bulk production. The disadvantage is that there are few cars, and the area is limited by the railway. ”

"The advantages of water transportation are low cost, large quantity, and suitable for low value and large distances. The disadvantage is that the area is limited by the depth of the water and the river basin. ”

"The highway is not to use a horse-drawn carriage, but also to use a car, as long as the road is built, then the car can be better driven on it, whether it is the court personnel to go to the county office, or travel, it will be much more convenient and fast!"

……

The rest of the people listened carefully, what Jiang Zhenhai said was very good, it was indeed very thorough, and all aspects were taken into account, but the essence of this problem was not this.

The essence is still the confrontation between the rest of the forces that occupy the cake and the emperor.

The emperor's meaning is very clear, he just wants to re-divide the cake!

Right Xiang stood quietly to the side, he didn't know who Jiang Zhenhai was, but he was sure that this dangerous strategy was definitely not something that Jiang Zhenhai could come up with!

Who is it? Who came up with this plan?

The right minister quickly thought about several powerful people in Dragon City, and he repeatedly looked for similar people in his mind, but in any case, he couldn't think of anyone who could offer such a dangerous strategy, didn't he want to die?

The strategy of this toll road, stepping on a horse, is simply compared with going up the mountain and going to the countryside!
