Chapter 249: Bright Sword

Li Wei's body is twenty-two years old. Teenagers are only willing to learn, but it is okay. Now it seems that it is too low-key, it is good to be a low-key prince, but the emperor has repeatedly asked you to supervise the country, and you are an adult in your twenties, and you have not done anything at all, maybe the ministers can understand, but it will also make the ministers have a kind of idea that the prince is not bold.

If you want to win the appreciation of the ministers, the First World War in the Southwest is still not good, after all, the Tang Dynasty is now unified, not the Five Hu Chaohua, not the Three Kingdoms, the emperor needs military talent, both civil and military are good, but Wen occupies the main position. Therefore, Li Shimin fights the world with martial arts, and he can use words as his nickname. Although there is a name for charity, charity is far from enough, and it is also necessary to have the ability to deal with affairs. Li Wei put it on the table now, so that these important ministers can see that they are not only benevolent, but also have the ability to handle affairs, so that they can really fully support them.

Once most of the Zaisuke and these bigwigs will support him, although his father is displeased, he will be more cautious in dealing with himself.

Not only that, it's not good to do nothing, but as a father and have ideas, the older you get, the heavier your father's scruples. His old man's condition is getting worse and worse, and in the end, for the so-called balance, he will give his mother more real power. Once the mother gets enough real power, she will not talk to the second brother, and after a few years, even the father will not be able to take it back. The best outcome was to force his father to cede the throne to himself when he was seriously ill. Whether it is done well or badly, a bloody storm can be avoided. If you want this result, these bigwigs can't stand by, they need to intervene directly. If you want them to intervene, you have to show them some abilities.

That's why we have today's move.

Di Renjie was silent, knowing that the prince was stimulated by the death of Xu Yang and the others to do so. You can hear most of his words, and you can't say that it's wrong. If you keep a low profile, it will not be a long-term solution, and it will inevitably be seen clearly by all important ministers in the court. But this time it is high-profile, and the emperor will definitely have some ideas.

I couldn't tell the severity, so I had to say: "Your Highness, when you ask Your Majesty, Your Majesty is allowed to continue to discuss, and you are not allowed to fight." ”

"Okay," Li Wei nodded.

After entering the Daming Palace, he first cared about his father's condition and said, "Father, is your health better?" ”

Malaria is a pendulum, and it is also a very dangerous disease in this era, so Li Zhicai hurriedly let Li Wei supervise the country and accept the affairs of the department. Shrinking in the quilt, Li Zhi's face was very pale, and he replied, "It's a little better." How's the state going these days? ”

"State affairs are okay, my father needs to recuperate with peace of mind, don't worry. Several ministers are capable ministers of the country, and they do their best, and there will be no mistakes. ”

"Well, you'll have to learn to handle some things, too."

"Erchen tried it a little, but I didn't think it was difficult to see my father and queen mother deal with it before. But after Erchen tried it, he still felt very jerky. I don't know if my father has heard about today's incident, Li Wei replied carefully, and said: "By the way, Erchen made some suggestions, talked to you again, and came to ask my father again." ”

"What advice?"

Li Wei repeated his four suggestions.

When Li Zhi heard this, he immediately sat up with difficulty, and Li Wei hurriedly brought a pillow and put it behind his back, and brought a large coat and draped it on him. But Li Zhi just looked at him, and faintly felt that his son was showing his sword. I want to refute it, but I can't refute it.

Whether it is to dredge the two waters, or to hoard food, it is a long-term solution. Even if you need some finance, you will do it with great strength, not for a day. Besides, when it comes to money, the last two suggestions are the way to make money. It can be said to be a way to accumulate wealth, not to compete with the people for profit, this is open source, and the righteousness is used as a cover, not purely for business and profit, but in fact, the court has benefited.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Bring me the map." ”

Li Wei found the map, Li Zhi lay on it, looked at it for a long time, and then put the map down and said: "It is not easy to dredge Weishui and Danshui. ”

"Erchen knows that Weishui is mountainous along the way, but since Chang'an, the Yellow River has been wide, and there are not many narrow places, although it is not easy, it is not impossible to achieve." Speaking of which, I thought of ** again, and with **, it is not difficult to do. Of course, the power of black powder is still a little smaller, preferably yellow powder, but you can't make it yourself, and you don't even know the proportion of the formula of black powder. Do you want to send someone to test it? But the mouth continued: "It's hard to be Danshui. Danshui has been navigable since ancient times since Shangluo Longju Village. Mainly the river surface from Longju Village to Shangzhou, the river water is very shallow, and there are many rapids and shoals. However, they all pass between ravines and valleys, although the riverbed is mostly rocky, but it is not very long, and it is not a 100-ton ship. So manpower can be done. After dredging the riverbed, the upper reaches of Luoshui are cut off, and the upper reaches of Luoshui are not far from the upper reaches of Danshui, and after being cut off, a canal is dug to enter Danshui. This section of the water flow is not very much, and it has little impact on the navigation of Luoshui, but it is enough to raise the water level of the upper channel of Danshui and make the ship go directly to Shangzhou. After arriving in Shangzhou, from Shangzhou to Lantian Pass, from Lantian Pass to the capital, all are avenues, the distance is not far, just a little wide and tamp. And the sons also said that in order not to damage the people's strength and national strength, one year is not two years, two years is not three years, and the people have nothing to do in winter, and the court gives them a chance to subsidize their families. Even though the Grand Canal led to the demise of the Sui Dynasty, our Dynasty is still benefiting, and it is even possible that thousands of years later, the people will still benefit. It's just that Emperor Yang of Sui was in a hurry, which was originally a good thing, but Shengsheng did a bad thing. This water is passed, not only can save emergencies, but the state capitals of Shannan Province and even the state capitals of the Xiangjiang River basin can supply goods to the capital at ordinary times. There is no need to take a detour thousands of miles from the Grand Canal. ”

"You sit down," although Li Zhi was a little displeased with his son's sword, it was related to the country, and he still took it seriously.

Li Wei sat down, and Li Zhi said, "Things are as easy as you say?" First of all, Weishui, it's not that it's not wide, you also saw it the year before last, the width is there, it's mainly shallow. ”

"That's why Erchen said he wanted to dredge."

"I've thought about this idea for a long time, but it's not that simple. The Weishui River has a lot of quicksand, and it took a lot of effort to dredge it this year, but next year, it will be silted up again. That's the real downside. It is better to re-drown through the Weishui canal. ”

"Father, the Guangtong Canal has been silted, even if there is no water source in Juntong, there will be a water source because of the irrigation of the people, intercepted away," Li Wei shook his head, the Guangtong Canal was dug by Emperor Wen of Sui, more than 300 miles long, straight to Tongguan Sanmenxia, once known as the Fumin Canal, but after Emperor Yang of Sui moved the capital to Luoyang, it fell into disrepair and has been silted up. The capital of the Tang Dynasty was Chang'an, and at first the state was relatively economical, and the amount of grain transported from the east to the west was not large, and Weishui could barely afford it. However, there are more and more people in Guanzhong, especially in the year of the great drought the year before last, Weishui can no longer bear this burden. So Li Zhi split four things, the first thing is to talk about luck. After Li Wei finished speaking, he was thinking about it again, trying to escape, remembering the map, and he didn't even need to look at the map, it came to his mind. Escape may not be, there are some benefits, when discussing the deployment of the expedition to the south with Pei Xingjian, the mountains and rivers are very familiar with the terrain checkpoints, and sometimes they can even make some suggestions to Pei Xingjian, which makes Pei Xingjian feel very broken.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Father, if the Guangtong Canal is re-excavated, it is equivalent to Weishui being put on hold." ”

"If the excavation can be successful, Weishui can be used."

"Then father, can you cut off the Fengshui and Chanshui, and prevent the two waters from entering the Weiwei and directly entering the Guangtong Canal."

Although his son's fox tail was finally exposed, and he began to roar and show his sword, this son was also a little crooked, and he was able to come up with an idea so quickly, which seemed to be a good idea, Li Zhi's heart was a little sour.

I don't know whether it's better to be happy or unhappy, but I restrained these thoughts and said, "This is a way." However, you may notice that whether you enter Beijing from the Guangtong Canal or from Weiwei, you must pass through the river in front of Sanmenxia. This section of the river is turbulent, tracing the river to the west, a boat of grain needs hundreds of people to pull fiber, and the reef is undulating, passing ships, sometimes accidents. If there is an increase in the number of ships, there will inevitably be more accidents. Not counting the increased costs, many boatmen will drown in the river every year, trying to hurt people's grievances. In the past, Emperor Wen of Sui issued an edict to chisel three pillars, used countless manpower and financial resources, and even died many people, but still did not succeed. Or take a detour, whether from the south to the north, the local stone is hard, and the difficulty of digging the riverbed is almost heavenly. If this section of the three dangerous roads is not removed, the shipping problem can never be truly solved. Not only the three dangerous roads, but also Danshui, Danshui canal is not enough, as you discussed, it has great benefits for communicating Hanshui Xiangshui and the river, the river is wide, there is no human and financial resources to excavate, it seems that both sides of the bank are more mountains and rocks. If the river is small, it will inevitably be blocked in the future because there are many boats. If you don't dig it, you have to be practical when you dig it. Are you ready? ”

I don't know what Lao Tzu means by being ready, but when he plays big, Li Wei is a little sweaty.

"Your intentions are good, and you don't hurt the people, but if you want the people to be willing to be used by the court, how much subsidy do you plan to give a day?"

This is psychologically prepared, the capital is employed, there are expensive and cheap, those with craftsmanship can earn more than 100 wen a day, and those without craftsmanship can only earn dozens of wen. And can't let the imperial court prepare food, that will only make the officials greedy for ink, and must bring their own food, Li Wei immediately replied: "At least sixty wen a day." ”

"Have you calculated, if the two waters go together, how much will the court prepare? 100,000 yuan, 200,000 yuan, what can it do? ”

Li Wei couldn't answer, in the final analysis, it was still a word of money, and the imperial court could immediately come up with five million or six million yuan, and the construction of the two canals could start immediately. Guan Jian couldn't take it, thinking about it, the Song Dynasty was rich, and Cao Yuan's alliance Cao used it to come back and stretched out three fingers, Song Zhenzong said, three million guan, although it is expensive, it is okay. It's actually 300,000 New Year's money. Jin asked Song Qinzong for 5 million taels of gold, 50 million taels of silver, and 10,000 cattle and horses. But the Tang Dynasty really didn't have so much money.

Li Zhi knew that his son was embarrassed, but in fact, he didn't think about it, otherwise he wouldn't have asked, because he was financially trapped, and he didn't dare to discuss it. I didn't expect my son to come up with any good ideas, and said, "Also, it's a good idea for you to set up a standing position in Kyushu." But have you ever thought that in addition to a small number of righteous warehouses in various places, only granaries are set up in Liangjing. ”

"Defend Kyoto."

"It's not that simple. The two capitals are in charge of the world's grain, and in addition to preventing the country's urgent needs, it is also a kind of remote control. He also punished the Sui Dynasty Luoyang granary for losing to Li Mi's ring outside the city, and the two Beijing granaries were in the city. In Kyushu, of course, it is convenient, and there are all kinds of conveniences you mentioned, but there are unscrupulous ministers, holding grain and grass hostage to rebel, how to deal with it? ”

Therefore, it is better to waste some military spending, than to set up a large position in other state capitals.

Li Wei did not agree, the Tang Dynasty later divided the feudal towns, not because of the grain and grass in their hands, but because of the excessive power of the military generals. Therefore, he replied: "The sons do not approve, father, Kyushu is deliberately chosen by the sons, except for the three states of Yiyoudeng, they are not far from Gyeonggi, if you are afraid of what happens, there is also a strategy, and the loyal elder is selected to serve as the assassin of Kyushu." There is also a strategy, separating the military from the government. Political officials are in charge of food and salaries, but not soldiers, and military generals are in charge of soldiers but not in charge of food. Hindering each other, it can be peaceful. In fact, the country is peaceful, and the monarch is still doing it, and the king is like his father, even if there are many disasters, the country is still peaceful. For example, like King You of Zhou, Emperor Yang of Sui, and Emperor Hui of Jin, or dim and unknown, or brutal, even if the wind and rain are smooth, the country will immediately collapse. ”

The dictatorship of military generals is not desirable, and now the Tang Dynasty system is the military and political power of the state to grasp together, although there is no establishment of the festival envoy, there are already bad signs. But like the Song Dynasty, it was overkill. The only way to avoid it is the separation of military and political affairs.

Li Zhi was just silent. The son also has a point, in fact, no matter what he does, it is the emperor himself. The system is made by people and can be modified. However, if the emperor does not act, no matter how good the system is, it will mislead the country and the people.

The generation of the Tang Dynasty in its own hands is about fine, and in the hands of this son, it will probably be fine, but what about the descendants? Who dares to guarantee that every generation is a Ming Jun?

After being silent for a while, he said: "That Fan City, it is good to open a Fan City, but as soon as the Fan City is opened, the enemy will send scouts to spy on the reality of our border." At that time, it is not the rope head that can make up for the small profits. ”

"Father, this is also easy to do, you can set up two cards in one city at the border, Fanhu can enter the card for transactions, but not into another card to enter my territory. Our merchants can enter the card to trade, but cannot enter another card to enter the enemy's territory. Naturally, this loophole will be closed. "It is equivalent to a special economic zone form. Li Wei is simple to say, but it is also very advanced in this era.

Li Zhi couldn't refute it, so he said: "In that case, after you go back, discuss it with a few Zaifu and report it to me." ”

"Well," Li Wei said excitedly. This is tantamount to acquiescence.

Li Zhi said again: "Also, consult with your queen mother more. ”

I have to let my wife take a look, otherwise I may not recover from my illness, and I can see the soldiers enter the Daming Palace and force myself to abdicate. When you're done, close your eyes.
