(Thank you Brother Ren Jian Xiaoyao for mentioning that the placement method of veterans will be available soon.) οΌ‰

The prime ministers' private evaluation of the emperor is very good-looking, such as the selection of Li Yu and Hao Jue, including the prime ministers' own selection, and vigorously developing maritime trade in the economy; has a good view of the overall situation, and is very predictable of major events, such as the accurate prediction and correct scheduling of the rebellions of Liu Pi, Yang Huilin, and Li Qi; There will be forward-thinking ideas that people can't keep up with, such as proposing to set up a bank; It will also save money, such as setting his own dietary standard to four dishes and one soup, and changing the Mo knife hand originally equipped by the military department to a spearman. But the gap between the handling of specific affairs and idiots is not very large. The prime ministers attributed this to the result of Li Yu's long career as a prince and did not dare to interfere in politics, so they expressed support for Li Yu to let the prince take charge of actual government affairs now.

It was precisely because of the belief in Li Yu's foresight that the prime ministers' hearts jumped suddenly, and when Li Yu saw this, he coughed:

"Do you want me to make another edict when the time comes?"

Only then did the prime ministers understand that the emperor was thinking about his face and reputation, not any foresight, so he put the heart that was going to jump out back into his stomach, the Tang Dynasty has been established for almost two hundred years, although the natural disasters have always been passively accepted, the methods of drought preparedness are not only one or two, and they are all combined with flood prevention, and soon everyone gossiped together a few, and because most of the prime ministers are in many places, the pertinence of the method is also very strong, Li Yu is very satisfied, said:

"Sure enough, it was brainstorming, so that I had the bottom in my heart. In this way, before the New Year, spread the word to all provinces, so that all provinces can take advantage of the winter leisure and the beginning of spring next year to mobilize manpower, material and financial resources, and do a good job in farmland and water conservancy. In addition, an edict was issued that before the autumn harvest, the government was strictly forbidden to sell old grain. ”

The prime ministers didn't expect the emperor to play seriously, only Du Huangshang and Li Jifu agreed:

"It should indeed be so, if the war is fought together in the future, I am afraid that there will be no time to do these things in the next few years."

Only Li Xun frowned and estimated how much it would cost.

Officials in various places are very happy to receive such an order, for the official term, for the benefit of one party, the ideological consciousness may not be so high, but the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, no matter how greedy the official is, he also hopes that he will leave a human appearance in front of the people, and the money will be allocated from above, and it would be better if he could take the opportunity to fill his own pockets. Who doesn't want to leave scenery such as "X Gong Dike" and "X Gong Well" in the place after he leaves, so that future generations can remember? It is a pity that after years of construction, most of the water conservancy systems in various places are relatively perfect, and future generations can repair and rebuild them. In the past two years, under the guidance of the idea of recuperation and recuperation in the imperial court, the officials who have a little promise in various places can automatically improve the construction of water conservancy, and only some places that have experienced war and chaos in the past few years need to be built on a large scale. However, because Jianghuai is the capital of the country, it is expected to invest more.

In this way, after the imperial court issued an edict to improve the construction of water conservancy in various places, the imperial historians who had just been idle had something new to do, and in the short time before the year, Li Yu used the form of overtime pay to organize the imperial historians to study, learn how to audit, and grasp the loopholes in the flow of funds in water conservancy construction. Naturally, after the beginning of spring, the imperial historians will be assigned to inspect various places again.

Li Chen's meaning was to let Li Yu and Hao Yu take advantage of the winter to rest at home, and by the way, think about how to apply firearms to actual combat. However, Hao Yu has obviously taken Li Xun's words as a deaf ear these days, no, Li Xun has just returned to the household from Zichen Palace, and Hao Xun's exaggerated smiling face is waiting outside the door.

"My good Li Xianggong, you are finally back."

Li Xun couldn't help but have another headache when he saw Hao Jue, and said:

"General Hao, aren't your money and food approved?"

Hao Yu said with a smile:

"Li Xianggong, you are an understanding person, how can you not know that little money and food to build a cityβ€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’ isn't it still a big difference? We have a total of 46,700 mouths in the three armies of the town, including the Guards, where do we not need money? Now that the taxes are not taken from our hands, don't you have to count on your God of Wealth? ”

"God of Wealth, you see my hair has turned white in the past two years. You, don't give me a sloppy look, you Jingyuan's money and food, hehe, who doesn't know that your General Hao never brings support when he attacks! Besides, your 20,000 guards are provided by the inner government. ”

It turned out that when Hao Wei was a border general, he once found a place on the side of the Jing River that was located in the throat, and building a city here could effectively curb the offensive of Tibet, so he suggested to Ma Sui, the envoy of the festival at that time, to build a city. Dashuai, you have already made great contributions to the world, you are a very good minister, and you should do nothing to prevent the suspicion of the court, and now if you apply to build a city, the court will inevitably think that you still have an enterprising heart, so you will be suspicious of Dashuai. As a result, in order to protect himself, Ma Sui suppressed Hao Jue's suggestion, and now Hao Jue himself is the envoy of the festival, and the city is naturally on the agenda, and it is soon reported to the imperial court for approval, and even the name is taken, called Linjing.

Seeing Li Xun say this, Hao Yu still had a hippie smile on his face and said:

"When we originally planned to build this Linjing City, it was used for defense, doesn't this look at the emperor's meaning now, do you want the camera to restore Hehuang? In this way, the city can not only be used for defense, but also be able to hoard money and food, so what kind of budget will it go up? ”

Li Xun Zhengse said:

"There is no money in the budget, today the imperial court is discussing to build a large water conservancy, and next year more troops will be reorganized, and the treasury will not worry about the money. If you really want it, the old man will give you a trick. ”

As he spoke, he made a gesture that came over with his ear, and Hao Jue quickly leaned his head over.

"Your Majesty, Hao Yu asks to see you."

It was rare for Li Yu to sit with Queen Wang, but she was disturbed by Hao Jue, who didn't know the current affairs, and of course Queen Wang's face turned cold, but she has always been knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and she doesn't show it much. Before leaving, Li Yu noticed that Queen Wang's skin seemed to be darker than the last time, and it seemed that most of the concubines he had seen recently were like this, and Li Yu felt sad for a while:

Is it going to let a group of palace maids out of the palace again?

Of course, Li Yu, who had a grudge in his heart, had a good face towards Hao Yu, but when Hao Yu explained that he was here for the tactics used in firearms, Li Yu became a little interested. When Hao Yu put Li Yu into the bush, he raised the issue of building a city in Linjing as a difficult place. Li recited a joy and said:

"I'm afraid that you, General Hao, are here specifically for my money! Tell you, both the treasury and the inner treasury are very nervous, you General Hao Hugh is going to make up your mind again, and the household department has allocated you a lot of money, so let's fix the money in your hand first! ”

Hao Yu was anxious and said:

"Your Majesty, can't you borrow it from a minister?"

Borrow, why didn't I think of it? Li Yu turned his mind and asked with a smile:

"Borrow, what will you pay back?"

Full of profiteers.
