Shen Jinqiao opened his mouth to dig the mountain, and everyone in the Ministry of Engineering was stunned, thinking that they had heard it wrong.

Rong Jun smiled approvingly when he heard this, he and Shen Jinqiao had such a tacit understanding, he only said that she understood at the beginning, and nodded: "Yes, open the mountain and dig the river." ”

Ministry of Labor: "......"

If you are full of heart, you don't know where to start for a while.

Although they admit that the plan is good, the reality is not to think about it.

That's a mountain range, as high as a thousand zhang, stretching for more than ten kilometers, this is the open river? This is clearly moving mountains, and it is moving more than a dozen mountains, which is simply appalling, and it is impossible to think about it.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......" Liang Shangshu wiped his sweat: "Your Majesty, this mountain and river have modified the direction of the river and mountain, this is a big project, it is really difficult to complete it, or... Think of something else? ”

Liang Shangshu didn't stay long after climbing to the Ministry of Industry, he didn't want to be an official all his life digging mountains, and he was bald when he thought about it.

Shen Jinqiao had already thought about it for a while: "We are not short of money, and besides, there are not many criminals in the prison?" Ready-made hard labor, by the way, also find the people of the exiled land, and those who do it diligently, commute their crimes as appropriate. ”

Anyway, most of them are implicated, and if they are called, they can help, and they can also give them a way to live.

Shen Jinqiao thought very well, but Liang Shangshu just wanted to cry, what is the matter with this reduction? But this mountain can't be dug up.

"Niangniang, this mountain stretches for dozens of miles, and the manpower and financial resources consumed are countless, and it can't be dug up in ten or eight years, Your Majesty has made a decree to let those people move out of there, and the people who settle there won't need much silver, so I really can't make such a big move, and I ask Niangniang to think twice."

Shen Jinqiao nodded: "Liang Shangshu has a point, but the palace wants to open the mountain not all because of the people. ”

Said and turned around and walked towards Yutu: "I am facing the territory, this mountain range is in the middle of blocking the north-south traffic, from Shengjing to the southwest, in the middle to detour more than 100 miles, it is very delayed, not only to open up a mountain road, but to dig a whole river, from the northern snow mountain to Shengjing, along the Shengjing all the way down to the southwest. ”

Gong Cao of the Ministry of Engineering next to him took the abacus and fought sonorously, the sound of the abacus echoed crisply, and no one interrupted him.

Finally, he finished his calculation: "According to this distance, the distance from the Snow Mountain to the southwest is 1,300 miles, the ship route schedule is more than 500 miles, it only takes about two days from the Snow Mountain to the southwest, and Shengjing only takes one day to the southwest." ”

Liang Shangshu lost his voice: "How is this possible?" ”

It now takes them at least seven days to get from here to the southwest, and it only takes one day to dig the river? In that future, if there is a war, will not the war report be delivered, and their army will be able to reach the battlefield the next day?

This is a good thing, but Shen Jinqiao sighed: "But in this way, there will be no thirty or fifty years, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

Rong Junzhi didn't care: "Then thirty or fifty years, at least we can still see it." ”

Liang Shangshu: "......, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are really one who dares to think and one who dares to speak."

Thirty or fifty years, digging until old to dig out this river, this big project, he, the Shangshu, want to move from this position is afraid that it is not so easy, and if you don't move, you have to dig the river and split the mountain in this life?

It's desperate to think about.

So Your Majesty and the Queen Mother came to the Ministry of Industry to take a turn, really concerned about the situation in the affected areas?

Well, it's really a concern at first, but in the end it's completely off topic, okay?

Which emperor managed disaster relief and finally dug a river in his own country?

It's just nonsense, it's fantastical, it's impossible to talk about dreams!!

Almost all the officials of the Ministry of Industry have the same idea as Liang Shangshu, although the queen has a good idea, but she doesn't understand the fortification at all, and thinks that now the treasury has a little money, so she thinks it's great.

Although they admit that the money is indeed a lot, but it is impossible to dig a river for the country? You think it's a sewer dug in the palace, where is it so easy?

One by one, they are thinking about how to write a recital tomorrow, and they can't open the river? Wrong, they didn't mention a word, absolutely not a word.

Think about the business alliance and the construction of the academy that the emperor and queen did before, as long as they want to do it, they will oppose it...... None of them stood in the court.

You can't oppose it, and naturally you can't follow the nerves, and the safest way is to treat it as if you haven't heard of it.

As long as they don't mention it, use other things to divert the emperor's attention, maybe this matter will be over, and then after this flood disaster, they can go to drink a little wine and find a beauty to talk about life, and definitely not to dig rivers for decades to come.

I don't know if their strategy is too successful, the emperor and queen haven't mentioned it for two or three days.

However, just when they felt that the danger had passed and were about to breathe a sigh of relief, His Majesty directly ordered to collect silver taels for the excavation of the river.

The silver from the treasury alone is obviously not enough, so it will be collected by the people, because His Majesty and the Queen Mother dragged the six divisions of the Shangmeng to do their homework for three days, and finally found a way.

Let private merchants raise money, and this money is not given for free, and it is used to buy shares in the river.

When the river is opened, the merchants will have shares, and the river will set up checkpoints every 100 miles, which will be collected by the business alliance and distributed to the merchants according to the shares.

A river that took thirty or forty years to repair was finally repaired, and these merchants are almost dead, and they have only been tax-free for ten years, who would dare to do such a stupid thing?

However, I never expected that someone would really agree.

It is reasonable for the Shen family and the Huo family to support each other, but what kind of excitement are the Leng family and the Yu family having together?

Well, these are all families that are good with the queen, and it is reasonable to blindly support them, but why are so many merchants also messing around?

For ten days in a row, I only watched the silver collected increase in two pounds, as if it had exceeded the deposit of ten treasury.

People in the Ministry of Industry: "......" poverty is sad.

But they can be regarded as completely understanding the confidence of the emperor, this is cutting leeks from the merchants, they don't worry about silver at all, they can build a river or something.

The people in the Ministry of Industry understand that the general trend has gone, and persuasion cannot be persuaded.

However, at the same time that the emperor and queen set up a plan to dig the river and release a message to announce it to the world, the queen mother raised the price of everyone in the Ministry of Industry, not by a little and a half, but directly doubled on the original basis!!

Everyone in the Ministry of Industry was instantly full of enthusiasm: "......" is not just digging rivers, what are you afraid of, their Ministry of Engineering is professional.

The household department said that they were not convinced, they counted the money until their hands cramped, why did the people in the Ministry of Labor raise their wages first???
