Chapter 255: Colonization

He ordered a reward for the method of opening the stone, and his father would also know that he had decided to control the ditch. So, speak your mind.

Then he explained: "Father, it is not the sons and daughters who want to start business, but take out the money from their pockets and return it to the country and the people, otherwise the so-called so-called taking from the people and using it for the people will eventually become taken from the poor people and used for the rich." The country is embarrassed, the people are embarrassed, and only a few people are getting richer and richer. But forcibly taking it, there is resentment, so they are given a way. Although some people will be allowed to go abroad, the extra financial resources can be used for the people, and more people will die less. ”

It is a good opportunity to relax the navigation policy. But I was afraid that my father would not want to, so I explained again.

Who knew that Li Zhi pondered for a while, and then asked, "I'm afraid it's not enough." ”

Li Wei was a little surprised in his heart, and immediately reacted, although he was also a businessman, but in order to control the canal and solve the root of Guanzhong, under this big framework, even his father had to bow his head. So he said: "The construction of water conservancy is beneficial to the country and the people, whether it is Dujiangyan or the Grand Canal, and even benefits the people for thousands of years." However, building water conservancy is also like curing a disease, the disease comes like a landslide, and the disease goes like a thread. In order to cure the disease, blindly using the medicine of tigers and wolves to drive it away, the gains outweigh the losses. Therefore, our dynasty has many water conservancy, the people think it is profitable, and the country is calm and meritorious. Emperor Yang built a Grand Canal, but the country was ruined. It's the rush of the ear. The two canal projects are huge, and if they want to complete it overnight, even if they have financial resources, they don't have so much people's resources. Erchen looked at it again, and had an idea in his heart, not to start all the work. First sort out the Guangtong Canal. ”

It is not easy, a wide canal is more than 300 miles long, it has been silted, and there is still water from the interception, which is injected into the canal. The amount of work is large, such as enslaving the people in the form of forced labor, the burden of the people's labor is heavy, and if the construction is started in the form of recruiting people, the financial burden is heavy.

Of course, if this canal is rich in financial resources, it will only be dredged, not excavated a new canal. Once dredged well, it is conducive to irrigation, and can be conducive to navigation, the canal is mainly wide, and the Weishui is supplemented, as long as the ship passes through the three gates, it can immediately reach the capital.

Li Zhi nodded his forehead.

Li Wei said: "Then there is the opening of stones, and several other water conservancy places all need to be excavated and chiseled. Without a good way to open stones, the finances cannot support it, and it hurts the people's strength very much, and even many people will die because of it. Erchen thought he had to wait. As a result, it took several years to build. As soon as Suzhou Port opens, it runs directly through the river and arrives in Liangjing, and there will be more businessmen. One year is not enough, two years is not enough, two years is not enough, three years, just to keep up with the rhythm of opening the canal. With the finances and the new technology of Kaishi, the following projects can be started, first to control the lower reaches of Danshui, then to the midstream, upstream, and to reopen the Zhengdang Canal. At the same time, a new river was excavated at Sanmen. If possible, on the two islands of gods and ghosts and ghosts, open a river to diverge. Since ancient times, it is better to block than to sparse. If you want the water to flow smoothly, there is only the word dredging. ”

"But the method of opening the stone ......," Li Zhi was still hesitating.

The money of these merchants is not easy to pay, and the court has repeatedly come to pay it, and the impression is not very good. However, the two canals can be excavated to facilitate the benefits of Chang'an in Guanzhong for a thousand years, and no matter how much they are paid, no one will object. It is also for the benefit of the country and the people, and in this name, businessmen will take the initiative to pay more enthusiastically. But the key is the method of opening the stone.

"The method of opening the stone, Erchen has a plan...... But more is needed. "I had no choice but to experiment with black powder. As for whether it is saltpeter sulfur charcoal or saltpeter sulfur sawdust, it is not known, and the proportion is unknown. Not only this, saltpeter and sulfur also need to be pure, and I don't know if this era can be realized.

Even if it is black powder, the power is still very small. At least on the Xiangrenmen Peninsula, it is a boulder as a whole, and you have to hit an eye, and you need to have a deep eye before you can put black powder. Otherwise, the power is already small, and the impact of the explosion is all in the sky, and it still can't blast away the stone.

Li Zhi asked again: "Those island ......?" ”

"This is what Erchen heard," anyway, they all used this word, otherwise they couldn't explain it, and as he spoke, he took out a pen and drew some topographic maps of the South China Sea, which was very inaccurate. The paramecium-like island of Kalimantan made him paint an egg shape, and Luzon became a standard strip. But about the terrain was drawn, and the currents and monsoons were drawn. Northeast winds from October to February, southwesterly winds from April to September and August, and monsoon transition from March to October, when the ocean currents flow northeast in summer and southwest in winter.

Some of them are memorized knowledge, and some of them are obtained by inquiry.

It's not very accurate, and it may be an important compass, Li Wei said: "Some islands are no man's land, or a small number of indigenous people. In fact, there are many products on these islands, some are suitable for planting, some produce fruits, medicinal herbs, spices, and even gems and gold, silver, copper and iron, and some large islands have an amazing area, equivalent to the area of several states or dozens of states in our Tang Dynasty. The imperial court sent troops to occupy it, and the gains outweighed the losses, so it was better to let these merchants operate for decades, become cooked land, and return them to the imperial court. It can not only open up the territory, but also do not hurt the national strength and people's strength. All the imperial court paid was some false names, as well as some fiefs that did not belong to our Tang Dynasty in the first place. After becoming cooked soil, you only need to send people to inspect the sea vessels to manage it. It is with this method that Dashi expands and strengthens the country's strength. It's just that the islands of the South China Sea are far away from Dashi, and because the people are small, they can't reach it. ”

It is equivalent to the colonial management model, but it is still very new to Li Zhi. The main thing is that the power of the imperial court is not needed, and as for how the big food is, now the Tang Dynasty has not taken the big food to heart. In fact, the Great Food is not a colonial management model, but a governor-style management model, which is different. Li Zhi didn't know, but he still had scruples in his heart, and said: "I'm afraid that after becoming a cooked soil, I don't want to hand it over to the imperial court." ”

"No, it won't. Father and emperor, the hometown of the Central Plains has a strong plot. The roots will always be in the Central Plains, unless the court itself does not act, and the people are resentful. If that's the case, not to mention far overseas, even in the Central Plains, it will be torn apart. ”

In the past, Li Zhi immediately vetoed it, but it was related to the "national fortune", and seeing his son's simple appearance, he had ulterior motives not to mention it, but he worked hard, so Li Zhi was silent and did not answer, and finally said: "Tomorrow, you will discuss with a few Zaifu." ”

"Whoa." As soon as this discussion came out, my father probably acquiesced. He also said: "In addition, the sons have two proposals, but the sons are ignorant, and I ask my father to refer to them." ”

"Tell me about it."

Li Wei recounted the change of ships, and said: "And the quality of ships in various places is uneven, every year because of the shoddy construction of ships, from the Yangtze River, to the canal and the Yellow River, many ships cause unnecessary sinking. The death of a merchant can be said to be a death for profit. However, the rents offered by various places, the death of boatmen and people, and the loss of the country are all related to the affairs of the imperial court. Therefore, Erchen had an idea in his heart, to send craftsmen to set up ship types, and distribute drawings to various docks, so that the quality of the ship could be improved, which was equivalent to reducing accidents. ”

Wei Hongji couldn't help but shout beside him: "Okay." ”

There are many docks all over the country, such as Weishui, there are many docks, and the number of ships manufactured in a year is nearly a number. However, it often sinks, and the loss is also large. Li Zhi groaned slightly, and reversed the voyage in three sections, and the freight increased. However, by actually deducting the accident rate, it is possible to save costs and at least reduce the number of deaths. This is what is really used for the people, so he immediately replied, "Yes." ”

It is a measure to benefit the people, and there is no controversy, so it was agreed quickly.

asked again what he had seen and heard in the past few days, Li Wei answered one by one, and deliberately said the hardships of Sanmen Caoyun, Li Zhi did not say anything, then looked at the sky, and said: "It's not early, you have been running around for so many days, go down and rest early." ”

……

Return to the East Palace. Bi'er greeted her happily and said, "Your Highness, you have worked hard. ”

"It's not hard," Li Wei said. In addition to the unbearable look at Sanmen Caoyun, these days I am very happy.

Wan'er also greeted her and said, "Your Highness, the swallow flew away." ”

"So fast?"

"Hmm."

"Fly away and fly away, and come back next spring."

After dinner, Bi'er carefully bathed Li Wei again, and then went to bed. If you don't open the affairs of men and women, if you open it, you will think about it. As I get older, I know a lot about people, and this time I actually took the initiative to hold Li Wei, and it seems that even a pair of tender breasts that are gradually plumping up have to be combined with Li Wei.

After exercising for a long time, he let out a coquettish moan, let go of his hand, and wanted to stand up and wipe it for Li Wei.

stopped her, drew a circle on the cherry on her left chest, and said, "Do you want to be lonely these days?" ”

"Yes."

"Where do you think, do you think here, or do you think here?" As he spoke, he pressed his heart on the mouth, and then his fingers gradually swiped down. As it grew quickly, the black grass grew, and then it was scratched again, and gradually came to the two pieces of soft mussel meat, which were still very moist and soft and sticky. Li Wei drew circles on it with his fingers.

Bi'er shyly didn't answer, and shrank into his arms.

……

I don't know if I don't see it, but after taking a look, Li Wei has about the bottom in his heart. The next day, all the prime ministers, as well as important ministers, including the ministers of the ministry, as well as the Zhengqing Shaoqing of the three young provinces of the Nine Temples, as well as the main eunuch and the young eunuch, and even the fear of the psychological imbalance of the imperial history, including the imperial historian and Zhongcheng of the imperial history platform, all gathered in the Yanying Palace.

If you don't dig two canals, one excavation will use the resources of the whole country, the manpower of the three provinces of Guanshan, Nannan, Henan, and even some soldiers and prisoners, and the finances of the entire country need to be operated by all institutions.

He didn't say anything about the ditch, but asked about three other things.

Although these three things are controversial, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, Li Wei has been away for more than ten days, quarrels and quarrels, and it was not so smooth, but it was finally decided. A number of articles could be established. For example, the granary of Kyushu, according to the specific situation of Kyushu, has set an upper limit for grain storage, and then these expenses do not belong to local management, but directly belong to the jurisdiction of Taifu Temple. The storage of grain belongs to Sinong Temple. As for Li Wei's method of cutting civil and military, it was not implemented. Of course, it also proves that the establishment of large-scale warehouses in the local area is the fear of various officials.

Then there is the sea market and the mutual market.

There are also all kinds of scruples, especially the mutual market, the establishment of five mutual markets and three Fan cities, the city of Fan is located in Shanzhou, Fengzhou, Youzhou, not in the state city, but by the risk of mountains and rivers, set up checkpoints. Li Wei's method was basically adopted, but the number was very small, but it was also an improvement. Haishi didn't understand one by one, but later checked the situation in Guangzhou, and there was no danger of war, so they all agreed. Not only is the number of mutual markets and the number of markets in the Fan market small, but there are also strict restrictions on the entry and exit of goods.

This was all expected by Li Wei, and it was not a one-time effort to open his mind, but what surprised him was that the taxes formulated were very complete, and even many "profiteering" transactions were heavily taxed.

Li Wei looked at everyone and couldn't help but be happy.

The originally solemn deliberations made him smile, and all the ministers were a little sneering.
