Three days later, Kong Ru entered the palace very confidently, Li Jun looked at Kong Ru curiously, and asked with a smile: "I heard that Aiqing has been wandering around the East and West markets these days, is there a way to see Aiqing's appearance now?" ”

"Thanks to His Majesty's Hongfu, the students have thought of a way, Your Majesty is benevolent and does not want to abuse the people's power, but the students think that this is unrealistic, as long as the Grand Canal project starts, the people's power will be used, which is unavoidable." Kong Ru replied with a smile.

Li Jun nodded and said, "Aiqing's words are reasonable, so what is Aiqing's method?" ”

"Your Majesty, the method is actually very simple, the imperial court can graft the excavation of the canal to the hands of the merchants, the merchants have money, there are people, Your Majesty can completely subcontract the entire section of the canal to the merchants, and the merchants hire people to complete it, and then the imperial court only needs to pay on time." Kong Ru replied very confidently.

When Li Jun heard this method, he slapped his forehead heavily, his grandmother's, he still crossed over, he forgot such a simple thing as subcontracting, many large companies in later generations have a labor dispatch company, in fact, this is the reason, labor dispatch personnel can do dirty work, tiring work, even if there is a problem, it has no impact on the company, because they belong to a third-party company.

In short, a third-party company is a dirty glove that can take anything.

As long as the court subcontracts the project to the merchants, if there are casualties, everyone will find the merchant as soon as possible, not the court, and it will not arouse public resentment, but the court will need to pay more.

So Li Jun told Kong Ru about his concerns again: "Aiqing, this plan is very good, but the imperial court is not rich in the treasury now." ”

"Your Majesty, the students have also thought of a solution to this matter, once the canal is opened, then the two sides of the canal must be a prosperous place, Your Majesty can sell the land on both sides of the canal, and the land can be used to pay for wages."

"Haha, I really didn't see the wrong person, I named Aiqing as the head of the Ministry of Works, and you will be responsible for the bidding work in the early stage, but remember one thing, no ferry port is allowed to sell, these places must be in the hands of the imperial court, isn't there still 30,000 prisoners of war, these prisoners of war will be sent to Aiqing to repair the wharf at various ferries, as long as Aiqing does this well, I will not hesitate to treat him in a high position." Li Jun said with a laugh.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely do his best and die." Kong Ru replied very excitedly that he came to Beijing this time, made a desperate bet, and finally made the right bet.

After Kong Ru retreated, Li Jun clapped his hands, and Sima Da walked out from behind the screen, Li Jun asked with a smile: "Sima Da, how about this method?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is indeed a good way, but the minister doesn't like Kong Ru as a person." Sima Da said with a frown.

Today, Sima Da entered the palace and wanted to admonish the wax man, but before the two could say a word, Kong Ru came, so Li Jun had to let Sima Da hide first, Sima Da's temper Li Jun knew that when he met a villain like Kong Ru, he would definitely hit the earth with Mars, and it would not be good if there were more twists and turns.

Li Jun waved his hand and said: "My eyes are not blind, I can naturally see that this guy is a villain, but villains have the use of villains, as long as he can do this, even if he is greedy, it doesn't matter, because this is a great matter of utilitarianism through the ages." ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the ministers will keep an eye on these villains, and it is impossible for them to make waves in Datang." Sima Da said coldly.

Li Jun scratched his head and said, "Hehe, do you still want to talk about the wax man?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't want to say it, because the minister knows that it is said, and you won't change your mind easily, so the minister decided to write directly in the history books: The Tang Emperor likes wax people." Sima Da replied stiffly.

Li Jun scolded with a smile: "You are really bold, okay, let it be, Emperor Qin loves to kill, I love wax people, it can be regarded as the past." ”

"Your Majesty is generous, thank you." Sima Da arched his hand and said.

Li Jun is such a temper, save some of his own things, don't let other people's things go bad, remember that in his previous life, when he and his grandfather depended on each other, when he was collecting medicine in the mountains, even if it was a dead branch, Li Jun wanted to pick it up and burn it for fire, this is what Li Jun learned from the utilitarian society in later generations.

Now Li Jun often dreams about the things of the afterlife, but every morning when he gets up, he finds that he is now the emperor above ten thousand people, which makes Li Jun full of confusion about this world, these two feelings are contradictory, conflicting, and even desolate, one will be warm, and the other will be cold The feeling makes Li Jun feel like a schizophrenic.

Sima Da in front of him was a living person, so when he saw Li Jun in a daze, he didn't dare to disturb, and finally waited for Li Jun to come back to his senses, Sima Da immediately asked, "Your Majesty, is there anything else?" If it's all right, the minister will retire. ”

Li Jun was a little embarrassed, but he still smiled and said, "Sima, I heard that you have just finished compiling Xiang Yu's book recently, so you might as well show it to me." ”

"Your Majesty, please see." This is Sima Da's pride, so this manuscript has been carried by Sima Da, and when he heard that Li Jun wanted to read it, Sima Da immediately took it out of his arms.

Li Jun took it with a wry smile, he was polite, he didn't expect Sima Da to be able to take it out immediately.

Li Jun looked at it for a while, pointed to a place and said: "Sima Da, look, you have written on it that the first emperor ascended the throne at the beginning of the year, wore the Lishan Mountain, and merged the world, and the world sent more than 700,000 people, wearing three springs, and causing the coffin under the copper, and the palace was full of hundreds of officials and strange weapons. Let the craftsman make a crossbow arrow, and shoot it if he is close. With mercury as the rivers and seas, the machine is instilled, with astronomy and geography. With mermaid paste as a candle, the one who will not be extinguished will last for a long time. ”

"What's wrong? Your Majesty, what's wrong? Sima Da asked.

"Hmph, which history book are you based on? I don't believe that there is any history book that will record such a sensitive matter, and there is a description in the back: Xiang Yu led his troops to the west to slaughter Xianyang, killed the prince of Qin, burned the Qin palace, and the fire was not extinguished for three months, I asked you what kind of fire can burn for three months, even our fierce fire oil will burn for three days at most, and according to your records, it was autumn in Guanzhong at that time, and in March, could it be that there would not be a drop of rain? Li Jun snorted coldly.

Sima Da pointed at Li Jun and shivered angrily, Li Jun threw the manuscript to Sima Da and said: "Wild Fox Zen, if the history books are recorded with you like this, wouldn't it be a mistake for people's children?" ”

Sima Da finally lowered his hand, and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, there is no way, these contents are all in the previous books, Da Chu wrote more exaggerated in order to put gold on the face of his ancestors, and he also destroyed most of the evidence, so the minister had to write like this." ”

Seeing Sima Da's appearance, Li Jun finally breathed a bad breath in his heart, Li Jun smiled and said: "Okay, I can't see you anymore, a big man is crying, the ancestors of the Mo family also participated in the construction of the mausoleum of the first emperor at that time, you can go to the Mo family to ask, and I estimate that there is also a record of Qin Guogong's winnings, you can also ask, and no one stops you, in the future, remember that writing history books must be realistic, and not let you write, what's the use of writing so many bells and whistles?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has been there, and the people of the Mo family said that they will sign a confidentiality agreement under normal circumstances when they build a mausoleum, and they are never allowed to leak half a word to outsiders, so they are not allowed to see it, as for Qin Guogong, when the minister made this request, they immediately turned their faces, and they almost let the dog bite the minister." Sima Da cried.

Li Jun laughed and said: "Haha, Sima Da, Sima Da, I didn't expect you to have a scoundrel today, so let's do it, I will give you a handwritten message, you can take it and go to them." ”

"Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty." Sima Da thanked him very excitedly.

Li Jun sold Guan Zi and said, "As long as you promise me one more thing, I will give you an edict." ”

"Your Majesty, please speak." Sima Da asked vigilantly.

Li Jun said straight to the point: "Remove the phrase I like wax people from your history books, you can say that I like to make enemies into wax people, but you must not say that I like wax people, so my reputation is not the same as that of the Wu family." ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, there is nothing in the first place, and the minister will write it truthfully." Sima Da hurriedly agreed.

After Sima Da took the edict and left, Li Jun realized that he seemed to have been trapped, and that sentence was just a bargaining chip for other people's conversations, how could he take it seriously......
