Chapter 120 Building Water Conservancy
There is no doubt that Dai Xuan is the head of the household department, and the official residence is the third product, and Chen Feng is the Si Nong Si Qing at this time, also known as the big Si Nong, and the nominal household department also has the duty of the Si Nong, but the Si Nong Temple is not subordinate to the household department, but self-contained, only everyone defaults to the Si Nong Temple under the name of the household department, and the big Si Nong, the same is the official position of the three products, although Chen Feng has always called himself "the lower official, the lower minister" does not mean that he does not know his official position, just the respect for Dai Guan.
"If the business fails, the person who can't pay the money can repay the loan with labor and redeem the credit, Master Dai thinks that this matter can be solved?"
"This ......," Dai Xuan thought about about half a pillar of incense, and finally nodded, "But now there is no major event, and there is no matter of building the palace wall. ”
In this way, it means that if there is labor to pay the debt, it is feasible.
Chen Feng knew in his heart, "There is indeed no major event in the Ministry of Households, and there is no matter of building the palace, but it does not mean that the Ministry of Industry also has nothing." ”
Sure enough, everyone thought that Chen Feng had asked the Ministry of Industry for their opinion before, and it turned out that the key to this matter was really in the Ministry of Industry!
Thinking of this, Dai Xuan didn't continue to be irritable, and simply looked at Duan Lun with a smile, and Duan Lun fell into the situation of Dai Zhou before, "Da Si Nong's words are wrong!" ”
"What does Master Duan think is wrong?" Chen Feng looked at Duan Lun with a smile in his eyes, looking happy to see it.
But seeing Chen Feng smiling like this, Duan Lun felt as if he had fallen into a trap, and it was still a trap that he couldn't escape, "How many people do Da Si Nong think this can't pay off the debt?" ”
"There are still tens of thousands of people in the initial calculation, and there may be more and more in the future."
Hearing about tens of thousands of people, even if Duan Lundang is not happy, not to mention that there will be more and more in the future, how can the Ministry of Industry not be able to support so many people, "These ten thousand people, how can my Ministry of Industry be able to eat?" ”
"The Ministry of Industry can't eat it now, and if you start a big project, you can naturally eat it." Chen Feng said it easily, and it seemed to be as easy as it was to do.
But how can Duan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, feel that this matter is easy, if he really asks Chen Feng to put this matter on the head of the Ministry of Industry, I am afraid that his thoughts of hitting the wall will be born, "Da Si Nong said this lightly, but I don't know that now that the treasury is empty, starting the project again is a move to work the people and hurt the money, and the people will inevitably complain at that time!" ”
"How did Lord Duan know that this matter was a matter of labor and wealth rather than benefiting the country and the people, and how could it be that the people were complaining, so it was not the praise of the people and the desire of the people?" Chen Feng immediately retorted.
"Dasi Nong has just entered the officialdom, and I don't know that my Tang Emperor loves the people and has never built a palace, because he is worried about the loss of money and labor. Duan Lun's painstaking explanation finally concluded, "This matter must not be done." ”
Chen Feng nodded again and again when he heard this, and just when Duan Lun thought that he had persuaded Chen Feng, Chen Feng opened his mouth and said, "Lord Duan is biased. "It's not uncomfortable to make Duan Lun not up or down.
"Xiaguan has a drought and flood harvest law, is a large project throughout the country, if there is the Ministry of Industry to help, it will be able to be used as soon as possible, but also to ensure that the people farm, I don't know if so, adults still think that it is a waste of money?" Chen Feng was full of confidence in his questioning.
As soon as these words came out, not only Duan Lun was stunned, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned for a moment, and Chen Feng heard a burst of inhalation sound in his ears.
Of course, the officials who reacted quickly also secretly glanced up in the direction of Li Shimin, but saw that His Majesty was only watching a play at this time, and did not seem to react too much to this matter, and suddenly understood in his heart that this matter was also in the acquiescence of His Majesty, and it seemed that it was imperative.
"Da Si Nong's words may be true?" Duan Lun's eyes were shining, it was Dai Xuan, and when he looked at Chen Feng at this time, he was also surprised.
"Above the main hall, how dare you be empty?" Chen Feng first arched his hand towards Li Shimin, and then answered Duan Lun's question.
"All over the country! All over the country! Blessing the world! Duan Lun was pleasantly surprised for a while, and then he didn't know what he thought, and he was instantly disappointed.
"What worries you, my lordship?" Chen Feng asked pretending to be understanding.
"Don't hide it from Da Si Nong, if it is a project that spreads all over the country, it seems that it is not enough for 10,000 people." Duan Lun was shocked by Chen Feng's method of ensuring income from drought and flood, and when facing Chen Feng at this time, he also had a little respect.
"My lord is too worried, there is no one in the Ministry of Works, is it possible that there is no Ministry of Justice?" Chen Feng smiled and guided the topic to the criminal department.
Everyone was in an uproar, how did this fire burn to the criminal department again? However, it is expected that Chen Feng has also asked the Ministry of Industry and the Criminal Department for their opinions before, and after seeing that the Ministry of Industry was involved, some people have already speculated that the Criminal Department will definitely be implicated together, but they have never thought about how to do it.
Now that Chen Feng has finally found Li Jing again, how can he not look forward to it, and see how this newly appointed big Si Nong is going to toss.
"Master Li, how many prisoners are there in the prison of the Criminal Department now?"
Before Chen Feng opened his mouth to ask, Li Jing had already turned his head to wait, and at this time, after listening to Chen Feng's words, he said after a little thought, "There are nearly 1,000 people in the prison of the Criminal Department of Beijing, ranging from large and small cases, ranging from a few months to three years in prison, at most three years, but there are not many death row prisoners. Although Li Jing didn't know what Chen Feng meant, he still answered truthfully.
"The lower officials are not talented, I have heard that there are a total of 358 state capitals and 1,551 county governments in the country, but is this so?" Chen Feng asked again.
"Yes." Li Jing also had appreciation in his eyes when he looked at Chen Feng, such a conclusive data, even more than half of the people in the DPRK and the Central Committee did not know, but Chen Feng could know, it was really not easy.
"There are prisons in all the state capitals and county offices, a total of 1,909 prisons, and if you count about 20 people in each prison, there are nearly 40,000 people. Chen Feng looked at Li Jing, and his eyes also had the taste of questioning.
"It's not an exaggeration." Li Jing replied, "This year has not been counted, but last year, there were more than 60,000 people. ”
"Thank you, Lord Li, for telling me the truth." Chen Feng arched his hand towards Li Jing and thanked him.
Then he turned to Duan Lun, who was waiting for his reply, "In this way, more than 60,000 people, Lord Duan thinks it is enough?" ”。
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned again, Chen Feng wanted to let the prisoners serve hard labor? So, is it possible?
After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there was no large number of palaces to be built, no large-scale construction was carried out, and there was no excessive labor for prisoners.
