Chapter Seventy-Nine: How to Do It Without Money

"I want to go to Zhaodi and learn about the local customs." Han Feng really doesn't want to stay in the palace now, the life in the palace is simply no fun at all, every day except for checking the chapter, guarding the empty room, it is inevitable to feel a kind of emptiness and loneliness.

"My king, you are now engaged in a big project, and the treasury has no money, so you have to think of a way, either raise taxes, or you can conjure up a bunch of treasures!" Liu Cheying has been made big by Hanfeng's bill.

Although Xia has more than 100,000 laborers, it still has to pay a lot of money every day, and these projects are completely insufficient for more than 100,000 people.

"Not long after Zhao Di arrived, if only the tax on the east and west of the river is raised, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people, I think this tax increase is still forgotten, or find another way!" What Hanfeng needs now is the hearts of the people, but he doesn't want to stop the project, once the project is completed, the value it brings is far more than that, and Xia Guo will also enter a state of take-off.

"I knew you would say that, a lot of things need money to maintain, and now we don't only have to build projects, but also feed 600,000 mouths, these are all expenses!" Liu Cheying is now considered to be being money.

They are now producing more than printing, and with a limited number of coins, such a huge project cost cannot be supported by any of the six countries, even if Xia Guogang has captured more than a million gold worth of treasures in Zhao's treasury, it still cannot supply Han Feng's engineering plan.

"Why don't we dig a grave! There were a lot of valuable treasures in the tombs of the kings before, and we can't just take them out, money is a trivial matter!"

Han Feng is reminded of Cao Cao, as well as some rising currents in history, many of them rely on tomb robberies to support their own industries, whether it is modern or ancient, they are disrespectful to their ancestors, and these eclectic currents are not afraid of these, they only have the world in their hearts, and the world is theirs, not to mention a small cemetery.

"This is a good note, but there is a problem, the tombs of kings and princes in the past dynasties are equipped with organs, and you are only afraid of damaging a large number of historical relics by digging tombs like this, so how can future generations verify history?" Liu Cheying is still relatively aware of this aspect, and many things cannot be preserved at the current level of science and technology, and once damaged, it will be a pity for thousands of years, which is a terrible thing.

"Then we can't destroy the country! The project needs to be built! Money to be earned! Now there is only this way to get money quickly, otherwise what other way can you think of, if you think of it, I will arrange it immediately, except for the increase in taxes. "Han Feng has no choice, since the dignified generation of kings has to make money by digging tombs, if this is spread out, it will not be laughed to death.

"We don't have any money in our hands now, but those rich businessmen have money in their hands, and building the country is also what they should do, and every time there is a war, these rich businessmen have made enough money in terms of grain, grass and other aspects, and some of them are even richer than the country." Liu Cheying said.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Shen Wansan were a good example back then, being too rich is not necessarily a good thing, since ancient times, kings have been ruthless, and the more Ming Jun is, the more ruthless he is.

"I think forget it, I don't want these businessmen to interfere in these projects, I don't like the faces of businessmen, especially businessmen who do a lot of work, just dig a grave!" Han Feng was already very firm in his thoughts.

"Okay, then listen to you, I'll form a team dedicated to digging graves!" Liu Cheying said helplessly.

"Why do you say that those kings are so rich, they can bring a bunch of funeral goods when they die, and I am so poor that I have to sell the palace!" Han Feng felt that he didn't know how to manage the country and make the country so poor.

"You? If you know that if you want to reduce the consumption of money, you can requisition work and rest, anyway, the whole country is yours, and they don't dare to say anything if you don't give money, just ensure that they don't starve to death!" Liu Cheying's sentence is very correct, as long as you dig people from the bottom, you can save a lot of money for any project, why not the Great Wall built by Qin Shihuang back then.

"Your Majesty, digging this grave is not an easy task, especially the king's grave, most of which are equipped with hidden weapons, and if you don't pay attention to it, you may let the soldiers take their lives in vain!" Cai Yadao, the leader of the brocade guard.

"Have you dug a grave?" Han Feng looked puzzled.

Cai Ya said: "My father was an official who built a mausoleum for the king before, and he knew a little about this matter, most of the king's tombs were equipped with secret passages, and those skilled craftsmen would be executed without exception after building the king's tomb, and most of the treasures in the mausoleum were put in when they were built."

"And what good advice do you have?" Han Feng's idea of throwing people's ancestral graves is very simple, just blow them all up, and any hidden weapon mechanism is useless, but this will greatly damage the cultural relics, and it will make Han Feng infamous on his back, Han Feng will not care about these, but this will greatly affect the expansion of Xia Guo and affect Xia Guo to gather the hearts of the people.

"Your Majesty, in fact, most of these mausoleums have secret passages, these are the secret passages opened by those craftsmen to save their lives after the construction of the mausoleum, but this is only the beginning, except for the designers of the year, no one knows what mechanism this tomb has, once it is touched, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction, and the minister thinks that it is most appropriate to hollow out the entire area directly from the top of the tomb." Cai Ya said.

It is not a trivial matter in ancient times, especially when people everywhere are very afraid of these ghosts and gods, and this is also a great disrespect for others, that is, to destroy human nature.

"This matter of throwing people's ancestral graves is indeed not a good thing, this matter must not be known to others, and all secrets must not be revealed to the public." Hanfeng Road.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, that the king's tomb is in a remote place." Cai Ya said.

Liu Cheying teased Han Feng: "If you dig a grave with such fanfare, aren't you afraid that someone will dig your grave in the future?"

Han Feng smiled and said: "I am not feudal and superstitious, the corpse can be melted between heaven and earth, how can it be like these kings and magnates, they are alive and think about the afterlife, and they don't know that the big dream is empty."

"Okay, I'm going to recruit talents, I'll take care of this matter, I hope the treasury can last a month or two!" Liu Cheying left the palace after speaking, this matter cannot be done on the surface, can only find someone in private, and cannot even find anyone related to the court to do.

The matter of funds is solved in this way, and Han Feng is now going out of the palace to Zhao Di, and now the entire Hedong and Hexi are using a large number of tax construction projects in Zhao Di.

After the destruction of Zhao, the remaining five countries are very afraid of the Xia State, and now the Xia State is the most populous country, and with the addition of science and technology, other countries are like lambs to the slaughter, but they did not dare to send troops again after the defeat of the coalition last time, and they are all accumulating strength to guard against the surprise attack of the Xia State, and even many countries have begun to send spies to the Xia State to study.

And Xia Guo is also letting go, Han Feng knows very well in his heart that they can't turn the sky when they teach these knowledge to the Five Kingdoms, because they will not invest a lot of resources in construction like Han Feng, and only Xia Guo has no conservatives, and other countries will affect the interests of the old nobles once they reform, which they can't tolerate.

"Can you take me with you when you leave the palace this time, I haven't been out of the palace for a long time!" Yun Qian almost never leaves the palace except for going back to her parents' house to visit relatives every year.

"Call your sister Fang too, this time we will go to Zhao Land together." Han Feng is expected to walk for half a year when he arrives in Zhao this time.

"Your Majesty, Commander Hu asks to see you!" The female official said.

Hu Mei'er was menacing this time, and she said to Han Feng: "Your Majesty, I recently found out that King Zhao has appeared on the western coast, and the minister wants to lead the troops to arrest King Zhao!"

"Mei'er, this matter is delayed for a while, now the treasury is empty, and there is a problem with funds." Han Feng knew that the hatred in Hu Meier's heart had not been let go, and she had to kill this King Zhao.

"Your Majesty, Mei'er Yuan went to find King Zhao alone, and asked the king to agree!" Hu Meier is very determined.

Over the years, her biggest wish is to kill King Zhao, since ancient times, the hatred of killing her father has not been shared, not to mention that King Zhao has deceived herself for so many years, she will definitely not feel at ease if she does not solve King Zhao.

"Mei'er, you listen to me first, after I come back from my trip to Zhao Di this time, I will naturally build a fleet for you to sail, and then you will have more important tasks on you." Hanfeng Road.

Zhu Di sent Zheng He to the West in order to find Emperor Jianwen is one point, and letting all countries pay tribute is the main purpose, and every year the tribute can get a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, why not do such a cheap thing.

Of course, the cost of the fleet is enormous, and the risks are very high.

"Thank you, but Mei'er still wants to go to sea in person, and ask the king for permission!" Hu Meier couldn't wait, she finally heard the news of King Zhao, and if she missed it, she didn't know when she would have the news.

"I'll give you three warships, as for the manpower matter, you go and talk to the national teacher, by the way, don't talk to the national teacher about the funding, she is annoyed by the money now." Han Feng reminded.

Hu Mei'er was just about to leave Hanfeng and said: "Mei'er, it will be very dangerous for you to be persistent like this, remember to be calm in case of trouble."

This impulse is the devil, especially when you encounter danger, you will only suffer from hatred and impulsiveness in the future, and at most you will lose both, Han Feng still doesn't want to see such a bewitching beauty fall.

Han Feng's convoy and Hu Meier's fleet set off on the same day, and Han Feng's escort general on this trip was Sun Yanzheng's loyal general, and he was also one of the fastest-rising generals in the barracks.

"Your Majesty, your team seems to be very yin, except for you, you think the rest of the people are women." Liu Cheying teased at the gate of the palace.

"The widow likes it, do you want to take a bunch of men to do it on the road?" Han Feng quipped.

"the base? What is Husband? Yun Qian was curious, she had heard this word for the first time.

Liu Cheying explained with a smile: "Queen, this is two men together~"

Yun Qian was a little shy in an instant.

"~Kill chickens and take eggs."

Yun Qian said: "Oh~ Is killing ducks together called engaging in ducks?"

"So to speak!" Han Feng said embarrassedly: "Let's leave quickly!"

A team of thirty people set off towards Zhao Di, not to mention the vastness, but all of them are masters who can fight one against ten, especially Han Feng still has an AK47 next to him, and was assassinated? It's impossible.

"Your Majesty, isn't it too dangerous for you to take this little bit of people with you on this trip, I'm afraid that there are many people who want to take your life from the king." Sun Yan said worriedly.

"Little thing, the assassin caught in the military camp last time is still known as the number one assassin of the Chu State, but he was not pressed into a cage by me, and now he is waiting for the assassin of the Chu State to send us a head." Hanfeng Road.

The assassins who were on the coast before are now locked up in the prison of Shang Moss, not to mention that there are really a lot of actions in this Chu State, and they often send people to kill this assassin, but there is no difference between them entering the prison and giving away people's heads, no matter how high your kung fu is, no matter how strong your identity is, and how strong your assassination skills are, you can't assassinate the prisoners in the prison, unless you blow up the prison or attack the prison.

Han Feng said again: "And this trip is also known to the National Teacher's Cabinet and you, if your whereabouts are exposed, you can catch a bunch of assassins lurking in the Xia Kingdom, my trip can be described as killing two birds with one stone."

"Your Majesty, the first track ahead." Sun Yan's current pressure is not small, twenty-seven people protect three people, it is a little dangerous to encounter a large number of bandits.

"This is the track, but how can the vehicle walk on it?" Yun Qian looked puzzled, the first time she saw such a thing, Fang Meng remained silent.

The car was slowly approaching them, and this car was only two ten-meter-long carriages, but it was enough to accommodate the thirty people.

The vehicle took a long turn before it stopped in front of Han Feng and the others.

"This car can be moved without anyone pulling it? It's amazing!" Yun Qian exclaimed.

Now this track has been 20 kilometers long, it is expected that in half a year there will be a number of 100 miles of railroad tracks, all the rails are expected to take two years, when the important cities in Hexi and Hedong will be completely connected.

"Let's get on the train, the front car is the power car, and this train relies on it to pull the back car to walk." Hanfeng Road.

"Husband, how can you always design these magical things, you are simply a genius." Yun Qian looked adoring, if she was a modern person, she wouldn't think like this, but they hadn't seen anything, this was an unprecedented design.

"They are all learned from the Far East country, if Qian'er is interested, I will teach you these principles when I return to the palace this time." Hanfeng hugged Yun Qian and enjoyed it very much.

The carriage is immediately wooden, with a layer of iron sheet on the outside, the decoration is very rustic, and each seat is equipped with glass windows to see the scenery outside.

Twenty kilometers of the journey is very fast, less than twenty minutes or so has ended, even if there is a mountain road can easily go uphill, all too high slopes will be leveled, at present is also satisfied with the tunnel type of track line, this is also the loss of the west and east of the river for the plain, very suitable for the construction of these projects, very good planning.
