Chapter 281: Killing You (Part II)

Some officials finally saw that Dai Zhide came to the river, looked at the water, came to Li Wei and said: "Your Highness, as soon as the two canals are opened, the country will be convenient for the people, but what the minister is worried about is the ...... next year and the next year."

It's not human and material resources, it's finance.

It is presided over by the prince, and it is not used by the prince, and the accounts must be handed over to the court for examination. The income is very easy to check, the borrowed more than 1.4 million, and the sea market income of 600,000, but the prince said first, Guangzhou's careless, only use Suzhou and Quanzhou, Suzhou occupies the geographical advantage, Quanzhou has always had people go to sea privately, there is a foundation, the two benefits are like, Guangzhou can be deducted, only 300,000 is slightly over, plus the donations of Liang Lu and the two, less than 1.9 million. It is also a huge amount of money, but by the end of the project this year, nearly 1.1 million yuan has been used.

This is not much different from the original budget, but with this net-pocket dam plugging method, it is slightly easier to open a ditch, otherwise the cost will be greater. Next year, the Shenmen River will be excavated, which is similar to the amount of the new river. If you want to drain the water, you must also be deep and wide, not sloppy, and it is not easy to rework, if you want to achieve the purpose of draining, you need to be wider and deeper, the only difference is that it does not need to be so flat, but on Shenmen Island, the difficulty of construction has increased a little. Looking at this flow, it can't be dragged either. Otherwise, shipping is still unfavorable.

Danshui Canal moved to the middle reach, from Caoqiaoguan to Longju Village, the actual situation Dai Zhide did not inspect, but he could see the map and heard some. This section of the project is more difficult to build, not only to dredge, but also to cut the entire section of the river from the middle of the river to a deep level, and there are many canyons and rocky riverbeds. Therefore, the cost will be even greater than this year.

But what about the sea market income? After asking for a while, seeing the profits, many maritime merchants began to order large ships, and they were familiar with some more, and the income will definitely increase somewhat. However, even if a boat is purchased now, it is not like a river boat, and if the construction of each dock in Weishui is accelerated in a year, it can make nearly 1,000 small river boats. These sea ships have been sailing on the sea for a long time, and their quality is higher than that of the sea ships on the imperial court's expedition, and the volume is also larger. It is possible that the order will not be delivered this year. Even if it is handed over, it will not benefit immediately. Therefore, the remaining funds, plus the tax revenues of the two cities, may be used up this year.

This year's difficulties can be passed, but what about the second half of next year? In the following year, the amount of work from Longju Village to Shangzhou was even larger, and although the income of Haishi increased by one point, it had to repay the debt, what can be done with the remaining hundreds of thousands of dollars? I'm afraid it's not enough to open a river on the Ghost Gate Peninsula.

After Dai Zhide finished speaking, the surrounding ministers looked at Li Wei together, this is also a problem of facts, time flies quickly, in the blink of an eye, next year, and next autumn......

Li Wei said: "The top priority of the two canal projects is the new opening of the river and the Guangtong canal, these two sections of the canal have been completed, and other projects do not have to be completed overnight. ”

Wu Zetian walked over, just heard this passage, and smiled silently.

Her son's plan, she has learned, this is a national event, and it has not been broken.

Of course, Li Wei said so, but he had a confident expression, and everyone saw it in their eyes, and it was not easy to ask, so they had to wait and see.

But this incident reminded Li Wei of a wake-up call, and on the way back, he called Wei Hongji, and if he expressed his loyalty, he could also be regarded as a confidant. Then he secretly instructed him to do one thing, spreading rumors to the people about Liang Jinzhu's move to open up a new land. Even if Liang Jinzhu took the lead, there were still no businessmen interested in the so-called island. The effect is long, the imperial system is harsh, and the number of people carried is limited, this is a sea boat, not a river boat, just the piece of canvas to rise or pull down, it takes many sailors. There are also emergencies, and samurai are needed to escort and fight against the natives. Who is interested in becoming interested in the colony?

So to spread the rumors, isn't it that there are not enough people, there are indigenous people to do the trilogy, except for some complex terrain, ordinary terrain, the indigenous people's weapons are backward, many areas are just a small tribe, how much combat effectiveness can there be? As a trilogy, the Tang Dynasty forbade the Chinese people to go abroad, but there was no ban on the natives, which could be used for fighting and farming. Cultivated land can be used to grow rice or sugar cane, and when it is ripe, you can make sugar from it. If you want to export in the Central Plains, you have to pay taxes on the sugar itself, and then you have to pay a tariff. When I go overseas, I am exempt from any taxes.

What else makes not paying taxes more exciting.

Wei Hongji was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said, "This, this ......"

"Wei Shaoqing, just said, it's not simple, the risk at sea, when you arrive in the local area, the weather is hot and unsuitable, there are many poisonous insects and beasts, and there are even conflicts with the local indigenous people. Don't think that there are no people in the local area, there are very few, and they are backward, and they don't even have a country. The land is fertile, but it is not easy to cultivate because there is no one to cultivate it, and it is mostly woods, bushes, and swamps. It will not become a cooked land for a few decades, and it will be returned to the imperial court after fifty years. Lone knows that it is not good to talk about profits, but when he goes to sea, he is just for profit, and the benefits are not thick, and he will not attract people. ”

This can also be explained.

But Li Wei thought further, later Britain called the British Empire, it was the wealth brought by the colonies, of course, at that time the technology was more developed, but there were many drawbacks, Britain was small, and the population base was small. It is destined not to be possessed for long. There is also Europe that is more complicated, overseas are not only British, Irish, French, Spanish, Dutch, Danish, German, Portuguese, etc., different races, different nationalities. So it is destined to be the United States**.

But now the Tang Dynasty has a single ethnic group, and there are many ethnic minorities, but who does not regard themselves as Han people, even their own ancestors, are desperately trying to climb the blood of the Han people. In addition to the fetters of the region, the nationality is single, even if there is a ** later, it can't erase the bloodline on the body. The area is large and the population base is strong. It can avoid all kinds of European colonies. There is another important reason, the Tang Dynasty may not be the richest, but it is the most tolerant and open.

Famous families looked down on the royal family, but it was the various and bloodlines of the royal family that doomed this kind of openness to be unprecedented, and the colony could be established at this time. In other times, it is more difficult, and it is even possible to encourage foreigners to kill expatriates.

This is a long-term process, and the backward productive forces and science and technology, as well as the Central Plains' emphasis on the countryside, are destined to be a long process. Right now, when this wind is released, many people will not be able to sit still. It's not that I can't see it, they are all smart people, and they borrowed debts themselves, but it really took ten or twenty years to complete the two canals. No, so I will put a batch of places out, and the more people there are, the more taxes. Besides, if you put a batch of money, you may get some "good business money" to solve the urgent need. So he sat back and waited for himself to speak. In other words, they came to lobby, first, their reputation could not be erased, and second, they also saw the huge black holes in the fourth batch of projects next year, and they were afraid that they would have strange goods to live in, so they opened their mouths. Therefore, there are those who are tempted, but there are not those who lobby.

Maybe you can also let people advise you to stop yourself from selling money with your quota.

Since he wanted to be that and wanted to set up an archway, Li Wei had to force them.

This is only the first step, the second step is to take the records of the various maritime merchants, and collect the routes they recorded, the local topography and cultural conditions, and make a book, including the knowledge provided by Liang and Lu, and print it into a book, which will be gradually improved once a year to provide convenience for those who sail later.

The third step is to let Liang Lu's group split up, when he went to Lingnan, because of the lack of manpower, he called some friends, Li Wei also agreed to this move, let these people ** come out, the reason is very simple, Liang Lu canonized the loose officials, and the others were red-eyed. And then go to the book, accusing this kind of good business system, is it true that the good business in the whole country is only in the two capitals or the coastal area? Liang Lu and the others took 30,000 yuan and donated to the first-class good businessmen, okay, let's take 50,000 yuan. Muddy up this stagnant water.

Soon the news spread, and the officials also heard it, but they didn't know the inside story and felt bad. Whether it was customs duties or sugar taxes, it became a large amount of income for the imperial court. If the two canals are not mentioned, they will be returned to the imperial court in the future, and the imperial court economy will be more relaxed. What can I do if I can make sugar overseas? Do you send tax collectors abroad to collect taxes?

Li Wei summoned several prime ministers.

Now he is not in prison, and he violates the system. However, the first batch of merchants were pure businessmen, and their power was weak, so it was possible for officials to not understand, and then what orders were issued, it would be a bad thing. So he said to these prime ministers: "Lone also heard the discussion, but at that time, the system had allowed them to operate overseas, and they were the imperial court, so they couldn't be untrustworthy." ”

But when it comes to interests, I am afraid that the officials will change their orders every day, but they are not convincing, and they said: "Ladies and gentlemen, besides, there are only 50 years, and even if these places are cultivated, it is not easy. Although it was profitable, it was returned to the imperial court in the future. If you don't operate, you can't become cooked soil, and with more cooked soil, you can also find a way out for the population to increase and the land to be seriously annexed. It's just a small loss, but it's related to the big plan of future generations. With the people, the cooked land and the income, it is the land that opens up the territory, unlike the Turks or ***, the court is not beneficial, and the army has to be used every year to increase expenses. Also, Dai Xianggong also said that day that the two canals will be difficult to fund next year and the year after tomorrow, and Gu did not tell all the plans. The funds have their own place, and you may obstruct this, which is disrupting Lone's plan. ”

At this level, there is no one with a stupid head, Li Wei said this, and they all understood it one after another.

Only then did the controversy in the court stop.

And then wait for the parties to react.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, real estate and fixed industries were added together, and there were only a handful of millions of yuan, but there were many people who exceeded 100,000 yuan, and even more who exceeded 10,000 yuan. Of course, it accounts for a small proportion of the total, but Li Wei doesn't need many people, as long as there are hundreds or thousands of households coveting it.

Start competing with patience.

But what he had been fearing came true.

On this day, reading a book in the East Palace, Li Xian ran over and said, "Big brother, help me." ”

"What's wrong?"

"It's my princess......"

"Speak slowly, not in a hurry."

"Big brother, something happened to her."

Pan'er is Zhao's nickname.

"What's going on?" Li Wei frowned slightly, this girl is very arrogant, but only arrogant, a character like hers is not the only one among all the children of the clan.

"She killed a maid in the palace, and then asked the mother palace to confine her in the Inner Servant Province."

"Why did you kill the palace maid?"

"Big brother, didn't the King of Zhihan County pay tribute to a batch of glassware this year? My father gave me a few gifts, and when the maid wiped them, she broke one of them, so Pan'er became angry and ordered her to be killed. ”

Li Wei knew about this, paid tribute to a batch of green glass, Li Wei also divided a few pieces, not very pure, there are some impurities in it, chaos is unknown, once went to the market, I have seen some fine products of big food, the same process is not good, there are green and yellow, burned impure, the color is green, I know, I also know that it is sand burned, but how to burn it is not clear.

Li Xian continued: "After the queen mother heard about this matter, she immediately ordered the inner attendant to pull her to the inner chamberlain province to be claustrophobic and only send raw food in. I pleaded with my father and queen mother, but they didn't see me. ”

This statement understands the reason for Li Xian's panic.

Just because a vessel kills the palace maid, it should be punished. But when the words came back, there were many palace maids and eunuchs who died inexplicably in the palace. The Imperial Palace is arguably the most luxurious building in the world, but the Inner Palace is one of the dirtiest in the world.

Li Wei would not treat these glasses as rare things, but at this time, the glass products were still very precious, and Zhao was furious and could understand. Her background is also destined not to treat those humble palace maids as one thing. In previous cases, punishment could be imposed or not imposed. But as Li Wei, he agrees with the punishment. After all, human life is at stake, and Cao Siyan was so disobedient back then, and he didn't really beat her to death. And just a piece of glassware.

But another thing, the third said that only raw food was sent in, maybe there was firewood and spices in the palace in the Inner Servant Province, but the Zhao family was born delicately, how could he cook? Although it is nominally forcing the Zhao daughter to suffer some hardships and introspection, it is actually forcing the Zhao daughter to death.

Li Wei thought for a moment and asked, "Third brother, did Princess Zhou say anything to disobey her mother?" ”

Li Xian hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "I have also said some, only to me, and I have also reprimanded her." ”

After thinking about it, he said: "But big brother, that is the words of the bed, and there is absolutely no second person who hears it." ”

That arrogant little Lori is just a little bigger, and she still talks about the bed? It wasn't the time to make fun of it, but after thinking about it for a while, there was no other reason, and said, "You go back first." I'll take care of it for you. ”

Li Xian thanked him and left, and Li Wei took the guards and went straight to Wu Chenghe's mansion.

Fighting far away, Wu Chengsi greeted him. Walking into the living room, Wu Chengsi ordered his subordinates to serve tea, and Li Wei said, "No need, you all go out." ”

Let his guards and the subordinates of Wu Chenghe's mansion leave the living room.

Wu Chengji faintly felt bad and said, "Your Highness......"

Li Wei said angrily: "Last year, when you returned from Lingnan, the queen mother shouted Lone, deliberately saying that they love each other, and Lone also agreed. Since ancient times, the struggle between the clan and relatives has been extremely ferocious, and Helan Minzhi's incident happened, although Lone is reasonable, but he is often ashamed in his heart. ”

Wu Chengsi smiled and said, "Yes." ”

"But you shouldn't put your hand on my third brother's head."

"Your Highness, why do you say this? He is the king of Zhou, I am just the prince of Zhou, respectful and orderly, and the minister has the courage to do so, and the minister does not have it. ”

"Lonely, whether you have the courage or not, Lone has only one, Princess Zhou will come back safely tomorrow, otherwise Lone will immediately take your head." As he spoke, he drew his sword and struck Wu Chenghe's neck hard with the back of the sword!

This head must come out, and it cannot be withheld. Today, you can attack the third princess, tomorrow you can attack the children of the clan, and the day after tomorrow you can attack yourself and a few brothers! And this Wu Chengsi played a very important role in instigating in the middle.
