"How much labor does it take to repair the canal?" Song Jing asked.

"If there are 100,000 three years, it can be done," Wen Yu replied.

"100,000 servitude?" Song Jing was silent.

"How much labor can be recruited in Chang'an City?" Xiao Song, the secretary of the military department, asked.

"It's a blessing to be able to raise 20,000 yuan"

"Eighty thousand? Can it be recruited from Xianyang and other capital counties? ”

"It is feasible to farm in the slack time, and more than 20,000 people can be raised in Jingxian County," Wen Yu replied.

"Can I call the Ding Servants?" Cui Taizhishu asked.

Yan and Tang implemented the rent modulation, and each Ding annually sent two stones of millet to the state for rent; Lose two zhang of silk, three taels of cotton (or two zhang and four feet of cloth, three catties of hemp), for the tune; Serving for 20 days, it is called regular service, and those who do not serve will receive three feet of silk (or three feet of cloth six feet) per day, which is mediocre. If the assignment is increased due to events, the additional number of days will be used to offset the rent and adjustment, "five days in ten days will be exempted, and in thirty days, the rent and adjustment will be exempted", and the total number of additional days and regular service shall not exceed 50 days.

But now, if you don't mention it, even the government soldiers are changing to recruitment, not to mention this regular service? Besides, going to the palaces to be the gatekeeper is also a regular service, how hard it is to repair the canal, who wants to?

"Does the Far East Hou have a plan?" Song Jingshangshu asked the all-knowing Far Eastern Hou Dugu Xinci again.

"There is nothing to raise in Gyeonggi, so go to the state capitals to raise it? Is there a disaster this year? Where can we raise money in case of disaster? If you don't give money, you will give it to the household registration" Dugu Xinci really has a strategy, but how to look at this strategy has the intention of taking advantage of the fire to rob.

"This is also a good strategy, Wang Qiu Shangshu, this year's drought in Heluo, instead of waiting for the displaced people to rise, it is better to recruit laborers now, and repairing the Cao Canal can always solve the food and clothing of some hungry people, right?" Song Jing also sighed and instructed Wang Qiu Shangshu of the household department.

Wang Qiu Shangshu nodded.

"Although the canal is used for water transportation, it is also for the needs of farmland irrigation. Distribute it according to the acres of land in each county," Song Jingshangshu took out the third article to discuss.

"Now there is the Yuanchuan barren mountain terraces of the Far East Hou as an example, the counties are wantonly reclaiming the barren mountains, the more barren mountains need water, the more urgent the need for water, if the distribution is according to the acres of land, there are too many disputes between the villages and counties," Hubu Wang Qiu Shangshu objected.

"The Cao Canal flows through Xianyang County, Ju County, and Chang'an County, let them solve it themselves," Wang Huishangshu proposed.

"What does the Marquis of Far East say?" Cui Taizhi asked Dugu Xinci again.

"Do you want to say something? Pay for water, and when the canal is repaired, they will take advantage? Is it okay to ask for water? The money comes, the sluice gates and the like are repaired by themselves, and labor is given to repair the canals, and whoever produces more people will give more water when the time comes" Dugu Xinci said with a smile.

"Can water be sold for money?" Song Jingshangshu was also a little confused.

"Why not? They want water to irrigate and they can make a profit, so why not charge some fees? Dugu Xinci pouted.

"This is a good policy, the more water you want, the more acres of irrigated fields, the better the harvest, and it is feasible to pay for water," agrees with the head of the household, Qiu Shangshu.

"I see that you are in the eye of money, well, I also agree with this policy, and the water fee collected can also be used for the maintenance of the canal? Kill two birds with one stone" Wang Huishang nodded, and also proposed a solution to the fifth difficulty by the way.

"It looks feasible" Xiao Song of the military department also agreed.

"Then there is the fourth article left, how many rice mills are there along the way?" Song Jingshang nodded and then raised the fourth difficulty.

"One hundred and twenty-one waterwheels, belonging to eighty-three families" Wen Yu was very well prepared.

Everyone is silent, there is no need to ask about this rice shop, they are all wealthy families, and everyone here must have a share.

"There are two of them, and they will be demolished immediately," Cui Tai's book took the lead.

"It's good to say, but what about those who are pro-Wanggong? Demolished too? That's their source of money," Wang Huishangshu asked.

"Far East Hou, you said," Song Jing asked Dugu Xinci, who was doing well today.

"Demolition must be demolished, otherwise the waterwheel will block the boat's movement, so let's look at it like this, build another canal for them, and build a waterwheel for rice" Sure enough, Dugu Xinci opened his mouth and came.

"Another canal?" Everyone was suspicious.

"Isn't there a big gap between Fenghe and Chang'an? Choose a section of the old Cao Canal and let them repair it by themselves, just say that the water flow of the Cao Canal is too slow, and it is not easy to drive the waterwheel, and the court is sympathetic to them, and specially divides the river canal for them to set up a rice mill, well, you have to auction the lot? It can also add some cost to the repair of the canal," Dugu Xinci explained.

"That's a good idea, but are they willing?" Wang Qiu Shangshu asked.

"Let the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry think of a way, how to make this waterwheel more usable, if you don't want to, you can't do it, then demolish it? Yan Tang gave them a lot of money, and now the empire needs them to do their best, if they can't pay attention to the sage's wishes, then what can they do? "Dugu's heart is murderous.

"Then let's come up with a set of strategies according to the proposal of the Marquis of Far East?" Song Jing is a resolute person, and he immediately made a decision.

"In the matter of Caoqu, Cui Shangshu and Wen Yuren Wailang took a lot of effort, and then encountered difficulties to find the Marquis of Far East to ask for a plan," Song Jingshang said again.

"Hehe, it's no problem to ask so-and-so, but can't so-and-so always be in vain? This middle section is mostly in Chang'an City, and you can repair it in Wannian County first."

When everyone heard this, sure enough, how could this demon wolf star be so dedicated today without a purpose? What is the difference between repairing first and repairing later? In three years, at least one and a half years ahead?

Zhongshangshu has a headache, first repair Wannian County, how to explain it in Chang'an County?

"How? Such a small request also embarrassed you? I'm not afraid that you will know, the repair of the Cao Canal in Wannian County has actually been carried out for a long time, and you have also seen the cleaning of the Yellow Canal Furong Pond, in this case, why don't you let some Wannian County repair the Cao Canal in the county by itself? Dugu smiled again.

Zhongshang Shu was a little puzzled, this Demon Wolf Celestial Star has changed? Or do you have the idea of auctioning the building in Guangyuntan again?

"The repair of the Cao Canal needs to be carried out in a unified manner, and Wannian County cannot do it on its own," Song Jingshang said with a dark face.

"Hehe, I said that this court can't always be cheeky and hand over these important matters of the people's livelihood to a small county government, right? In that case, the people of Wannian County will look down on the prime ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China? Dugu Xinci smiled.

Only then did everyone understand that what he said just now was handed over to Wannian County to repair by itself, but it was the opposite, if that was the case, the people of Wannian County would not only look down on the ministers of the court, but there would definitely be some princes in the county who scolded the streets, what is the use of letting Wannian County do the six departments of the imperial court?

"This middle section is still supported by the Ministry of Industry, Wannian County can assist, if you want to repair it first, you can repair it first" Song Jing had no choice but to decide.

"Well, a certain Wannian County will repair the Fang neighborhood wall this year, and this ditch renovation will also be carried out, why don't we do it together? The Ministry of Industry sent a few more people to help investigate and come up with a proper plan," said Dugu Ming Mansion in Wannian County.

"Well, the sage mentioned this, this Chang'an Zhufang wall has not been repaired for many years, and it would be better if Wannian County could raise money to repair it on its own, and the Ministry of Industry and the Zhuyashi should cooperate" Song Jing nodded.

"Then thank Song Shangshu first"

"Then the second thing is martial arts, with Ru Yuandonghou in charge, I won't say much about it, you don't have to go on a business trip yourself" Song Jing continued to the next topic.

"If you go on a business trip, the pool will also be handled by yourself," Wang Hui, who is also the deputy envoy of the Ministry of Wuju and Gongju, said with a smile.

"How? This is all done by one person, and the black pot is also carried by one person? "Dugu Xinci is not convinced, the official envoy of the undergraduate martial arts is Song Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the three deputy envoys, Wang Hui of the Ministry of Officials, Xiao Song Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Dugu Xinci, the county commander of his small Wannian County.

"I believe in your means of life, and you can't get out of the pool," Xiao Song also said with a smile.

"You take care of it first, if there is a big report, you will deal with the small things yourself" Song Jingshangshu was also full of confidence in it.

"Okay, that prince Zhan Shi Wei Zhiquan has the idea of interfering?" Dugu Xinci remembered the events in the Taiji Hall a few days ago.

"There is a great drought in Heluo, and loyal ministers need to go to disaster relief, and a certain association like a saint suggested that the prince Zhan should go," Song Jingshang said lightly.

Dugu Xinci has nothing to say, this Song Jing is really ruthless, today that Wei Zhiquan Zhan has a lot of words, and he will be sent to the disaster area immediately, if he does it well, he will be tired to death, can he do it? Then I'm sorry, Cui Yinfu, the imperial historian on the side, is sharpening his knife?

"There is another thing, tomorrow the martial arts test will begin, what about the people of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Soldiers? Why didn't you see half of it? But the salary has been paid since the beginning of the month? That's not much worse than my own job? How? This has taken most of the month's salary for nothing, and I can't find anyone when I am employing people? But the three of them have not spoken on their faces? It's going to be tried tomorrow, and you're welcome if the people aren't in place? Dugu Xinci said again.

"Hasn't Li Yuanyuan's Wailang of the Ministry of Rites been on your side all along?" Song Jing frowned.

"Li Yuanyuan's foreign lang is good, but what about the fifty people that the Ruli Ministry said were good? Have twenty of them arrived now? Wang Shangshu, the household department is even more outrageous, a few directors came to help keep the accounts, and they disappeared after two days? The same is true of the military department, and the hundred people who said they were good, now there are only forty or fifty mixed with "Dugu Xinci one by one and criticized."

"Doctor Cui, where are all the people from Yushitai? I only saw three or two people, everyone, don't blame someone for losing his temper? It's hard to know the beginning of everything, but you can't do everything, right? You wait for the big man of Shangshu, please don't move, don't you care about the subordinates below? Doctor Cui, how about inviting you to sit in the Star Picking Tower tomorrow? The roster of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War can be handed over to Kuixing Pavilion, how about asking Yushitai to help with it? Don't want someone who is late, don't come? If the Imperial Historical Observatory doesn't impeach them for laziness, how about a certain person personally come to the door and invite them to come to the office? Dugu Xinci said it lightly, but everyone heard the murderous intention.

Song Jing rubbed his eyebrows, quite annoyed by the uncompetitive anger of the subordinate officials of the three departments.

"Then bother Dr. Cui to sit in the Star Picking Tower tomorrow, and he will tell them, those who don't want the Far Eastern Hou, the Ministry of Rites don't want either" Song Jing put down his hand and said hatefully.

"I'll go and tell the people in the ministry to go," Wang Hui, the secretary of the ministry, also nodded.

"The people of the Ministry of War will urge" Xiao Song is the secretary of the Ministry of War.

"Then thank Song Shangshu, Wang Shangshu, Xiao Shangshu and Doctor Cui first," Dugu Xinci arched his hand and said, "Tomorrow's martial arts will be tested, who will you wait for to suppress the formation?" ”

"If you are here, what will you do?" Wang Huishangshu was reluctant to go to the school, but he was born as a military general, and he was tired of that gray place.

"Don't, you can just wait to go and wander around, and there is nothing else to do, just go to the Star Picking Tower to drink after a circle, don't let the martial arts in the world only know that there is Song Jing Zhigongju and a certain thug?" Dugu is dissatisfied.

"Then let's go for a walk" Xiao Song Shangshu can't, he is the successor of Wang Hui Shangshu, Wang Hui moved from the military department to the official department.

"Then bother Xiao Songshangshu, invite Xiao Shangshu to have morning tea in the Star Picking Building early tomorrow morning?" Dugu Xinci smiled.

"It's okay to have wine at noon, what kind of tea do you eat early in the morning?" Xiao Song was dissatisfied.

"Oh, I followed Xiaoya to change breakfast to morning tea"

"Then the rest is the matter of Yuwen Shilang's inventory of the hidden household, and the saint will also be handed over to you to dispose of by yourself, if there is any difficulty, you can also talk about it?" Song Jing moved on to the next topic.

"It's going well here, but I also hope that Yushitai will send a few more people to supervise the investigation," Yu Wenrong also requested.

"I understand, you all use a certain imperial history as a tiger skin" Cui Yinfu, the imperial historian, is Yu Wenrong's successor.

"Look, you wait for the imperial history to be a sheepskin, and they are tigers, do you want to be a good person in sheepskin?" Wang Huishangshu has always spoken directly.

"It's just a dog and horse of the Yantang sage, and you are the tiger? Besides, if you don't want to be a good person? Dugu Xinci disagreed with his words.

"It's still early for the autumn tax and the papers, let's discuss it later, it's over today, let's wait for a certain dispersal" Song Jingshangshu announced the dismissal cleanly.

"Do you need to wait until dark for today's deliberations? It's just the end of the hour, and it's really a little uncomfortable, huh? Hehe, look at it, call the Far Eastern Hou in the future, see how fast the efficiency is? Wang Huishangshu said cool words.

"If it weren't for a certain job, hehe, Wang Shangshu, you would have to do a good job at the corresponding price?" Dugu Xinci smiled.

"Well, someone who went to urge you to urge the Ministry of Officials" Wang Huishangshu's face darkened, just now it was a precedent, let him give advice for the Cao Canal, he came up with a good policy, but he asked the repair of the Cao Canal in Wannian County to start at the earliest.

"Don't worry, that deal is two thousand, right? Is it handed over to Cui Shangshu or what? Here are 50,000 yuan, Cui Shangshu has put it away, and if he finds a good place tomorrow, he will go to the Star Picking Tower to contact Feng Pingping, and the method of ice cubes and freezing will be arranged in the near future" Dugu Xinci said again.

When eating under the corridor before, while the sage had not yet stopped slaughtering, Dugu Xinci proposed a big deal to store fresh meat, and the six Shangshu here and the Chinese book waiter Lang Yu Wenrong, the imperial historian Cui Yinfu, Marble Qing Li Chaoyin and others all entered the shares, and all parties contributed a total of 100,000 yuan.

"I know," Wang Hui replied, turning around and leaving the Ministry of Rites.

Dugu Xinci looked at Cui Tai's Shangshu again, Cui Shangshu was still stunned? Holding the 50,000 Guan Fei money handed by Dugu Xinci in his hand, this carrying 10,000 Guan family wealth is also the style of the Yantang tyrant?

"Cui Shangshu, it doesn't matter when your money will arrive, you have to prepare the place and personnel in the past two days?"

Cui Taizhi nodded, Dugu Xinci paid 50,000 yuan, only 40%, and their Ministry of Industry paid 20,000 yuan but distributed dividends according to 30% of the share, but they had to be out of the ground, and there were a lot of miscellaneous things that they needed to take care of, it seemed that they had won a bargain, but Cui Shangshu knew that he was still losing.

Look at the Far East Marquis, the silver money doesn't care about everything, how carefree, and in the end he is idle and divides the money, of course, you still need to think of the freezing method, but that definitely doesn't need him to worry about the Far East Hou.

Cui Shangshu also took Wen Yu Dalang back to the Ministry of Work, and the people gathered today were scattered.

Most of them have tried their best to win the cheap, but they have suffered losses.
