The letters from the envoys of the Chengzhou Kingdom were soon sent to the Imperial Palace of the Chengzhou Kingdom.

In the palace, as soon as the king of Chengzhou Kingdom heard the news that this was from Xinghan City, he immediately sent the letter in.

When he heard that there was a war horse in Xinghan City, he immediately sent someone to buy it.

The purpose is naturally for those vassal kings, and those vassal kings have become more and more dishonest recently, and at this moment he can only see if he can buy a war horse.

Otherwise, if you are endlessly engaged in an arms race with these vassal kings, you will be dragged down sooner or later.

Emperor Yunmo opened the letter, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart, wondering if the mission had encountered some problems, so he had to ask himself.

For example, the other party is asking for a price, or Lu Chensheng has no intention of selling at all.

It's just that when he opened the envelope and took a closer look, his brows furrowed.

In the envelope, there was no other question, only about the canal.

Canal?

Seeing the contents of this letter, Emperor Yunmo was immediately disappointed, but he still read it patiently.

The more he looked at it, the more solemn his face became.

"It is rumored that several ministers of the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War entered the palace to discuss."

Soon, Yun Mo waved his hand and said to the eunuch on the side.

When the eunuch on the side heard this, he immediately turned around and hurried down.

A moment later, several ministers hurried to the palace, anxious and unaware of what had happened.

Could it be that those vassal kings are opposed?

When the ministers all came to the palace and saw that the emperor's face was not particularly ugly, they were slightly relieved.

The emperor's face is quite normal, presumably it is not that something big has happened, this is the thought in their hearts.

Immediately, several people stepped forward, and saw Yun Mo hand out the letter in his hand and motioned for them to take a look.

Several ministers gathered around, and after reading them one by one, their expressions suddenly became a little weird.

"Now that you've read it, what do you think in your heart?"

Yun Mo looked at several ministers and said in a deep voice.

To be honest, Emperor Yunmo's heart is a little easy to move.

If the canal can be dug up, the convenience will be beyond imagination.

The transportation of soldiers and horses, grain and grass, will be greatly improved.

In addition, there is the cultivation of the fields, so it can also be guaranteed.

With the increase in the connection between various places, it can be said that with the canal, it will be much more convenient.

This can be known by looking at the Great Cangguo.

It's just that if you dig a canal, it's not that simple, give it to Lu Chensheng, and the other party is asking for money.

It's also said that asking for money is in the past, and people can't work for you plainly.

"Your Majesty, now that there is a water source in Xinghan City, if we dig a canal, it will be really beneficial for us to dig all the way from there.

After all, the water source is the same source as the water source of the Great Cangguo, so there is no need to worry about it being exhausted, but looking at the star Hancheng, I am afraid that it will cost a lot of money, maybe we can dig the canal ourselves. ”

The Minister of Industry on the side thought for a moment, and then spoke.

Nowadays, Chengzhou also has a lot of business dealings with Xinghan City, and if the canal is dug, it can also make a lot of profits.

"Dig your own canal, what a joke! Where is the money in the treasury! When the canal is dug up, the people will have to serve in the conscription, and last year's disasters have made the people miserable, if they are in the conscription, what will happen to the crops in the fields?

The people have a bad harvest, where is the money in the treasury? If there is any disaster, then will the disaster relief be allocated? Where did the money come from! Number Seven

The emperor said that he wanted to buy war horses, and the money was all deducted, and now he still wants to allocate funds for new water conservancy? No! No money! ”

The Minister of Household was furious.

What are you kidding, these people don't know that there is really no money in the treasury, right?

I said it before, I had to buy a war horse.

After thinking about it, after buying a war horse, he might spend less on armaments, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.

Now I still want to use money to build water conservancy, where does the money come from!

It's a dream!

When the Minister of Industry on the side heard this, his face was a little ugly.

"If the canal is opened, it will have a great effect on future operations, doesn't Lord Li know about the speed of the soldiers?"

"So what, you just stripped the skin of your own official, and there is no money!"

The Minister of Household said angrily.

If there is no money, there is no money, what is the situation in the treasury, outsiders don't know about it, can he not know?

If he really has money, he won't talk like this.

This year's Chengzhou country, it is obvious that it will not be able to dig canals.

The common people need to cultivate and recuperate, and they need to work hard to cultivate, and if they make such a conscription, they will definitely complain, and it will not be conducive to the rule.

He was therefore very opposed to it.

"What then? That's it? If the canal is opened, it will be of great benefit to the Chengzhou Kingdom, look at the Great Cangguo, when the border confrontation was in place.

There were only 10,000 horses on the other side's border, and a few days later, the other side's ships drove mightily, and they were full of all kinds of grain, grass, soldiers and horses, which directly made us lose the opportunity, isn't this enough to show the importance of the canal? ”

The Minister of War was also anxious, and he naturally felt that it would be better to dig a canal.

"Then give the matter of digging the canal to Naxing Hancheng!"

The Minister of Household Affairs didn't bother to pay attention to these people, and responded directly.

"You don't even have the money to dig the canal yourself, where do you have the money to ask someone to dig it?"

The military department is still puzzled, what does this mean!

If you don't have any money, what's the difference between asking someone else to do it and doing it yourself? It's not that there is no money?

Is it possible to make money if you do it for others?

"Didn't the other party ask for our mine as a mortgage last time? This time, it's good to give each other some mines. ”

Tobe Shangshu snorted coldly. Anyway, these mines have not brought much income to the country in a year.

In that case, it would be better to mortgage these mines and make some profits.

The rest of the people were shocked when they heard this, but then their eyes brought a strange color.

Yes, since the other party wants mines, then give the other party some ore to try later?

Anyway, there are a lot of ores in their own house, so it doesn't seem impossible to give some to the other party.

The more they thought about it, the more their hearts moved.

Yun Mo on the side also moved slightly, thinking about whether he could use such an ore as a trade.

"Have you thought about it, what if the other party doesn't want it?"

Bingbu Shangshu thought about it, took the lead in calming down, and then said in a deep voice.

"A few people should know that this Star Han City already has five ores in the Chengzhou Kingdom, and there are also several mines in the Great Cang Kingdom, so many ores are completely enough for one Star Han City.

The other party asked for so many ores, will they still ask for ores now? ”
