"Father, what the two old ministers said is reasonable, the sons need to command the operation, and they lack skills."

However, Tang Ning did not plan to do it himself.

However, when the courtiers heard Tang Ning say this, they were faintly relieved in their hearts.

If Tang Ning really insisted on taking hundreds of civil and military officials to dig wells and open canals, let alone work, the weather was too hot to move around.

Unexpectedly, Tang Ning changed his words and said, "On a hot day in Fujiu, although the sons and daughters can't suffer with the people, they can't bear to see them under the scorching sun, so they donate 10,000 taels of silver to express their hearts." ”

Tang Ning's tone was very heavy when he spoke, as if the 10,000 taels of silver couldn't make up for his "lack of skills", but when the officials of the court heard it, they directly wanted to scold their mother.

Nima, Downing doesn't appear under the scorching sun in this way, and they can only follow the trend like this!

But Tang Ning took out 10,000 taels of silver, did the courtiers donate less?

They also understood now what Tang Ning meant, that is, he wanted them to pay for it.

As a result, the imperial court immediately turned into a donation association, regardless of whether the officials were big or small, but hoped to buy peace with silver.

Tang Ning took 10,000, the first rank took 9,000 taels, and the second rank official took 8,000, in descending order.

At least four officials who can go to court, a total of fifty-two courtiers, received more than 300,000 pieces of silver, although there are also those who have no money to hand in, but after all, they are very few.

Tang Ning looked at this posture and roughly calculated, if you add other officials in the capital, it would be no problem to collect another 500,000 taels. In addition, private land has to hand over 100,000 taels, and the sum of the two is nearly one million yuan, which is almost equivalent to one-fifth of the national tax.

In this way, what was originally a water conservancy project that was very likely to be terminated due to the opposition of the courtiers ended up becoming a place for the imperial court to collect money.

Such a large project not only did not cost a penny, but also made a net profit of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

And Tang Ning's name of collecting money is very good, presumably, if the emperor announces this matter for a while, Tang Ning's image in the hearts of the people will also rise a big level.

Kill two birds with one stone, complete fame and fortune!

Tang Ning hadn't told Emperor Xiliang in advance that she had such a plan, so when Tang Ning did this, he was taken aback, but his eyes at Tang Ning were full of appreciation.

can make the courtiers spit out money, and collect money is so open-minded. Tang Ning still hasn't changed the arrogance in his bones.

If there is a son like this, what more can the father ask for?

Only Li Zhan was the most calm after hearing the news: Tang Ning was smarter and more means than he imagined.

Such a strange woman, if he had found out earlier, how could he let her easily fall into the hands of others.

However, as long as people who see the shining points on Tang Ning's body, they will not let her go. Even if she is not the woman of the Xiliang Emperor, the Xiliang Emperor will not let such a capable person fall into another country.

Li Zhan suddenly felt that not only did he have to watch Tang Ning closely, but if Tang Ning was willing to follow him back to Northern Qi, the road would be a little farther away.

"Feng Xiao, you say...... How could this king not see that Tang Ning had the talent of a prime minister in addition to his good martial arts. When Li Zhan spoke, he was playing against Feng Xiao.

As he spoke, he gently dropped a sunspot, and his head shook gently when he fell, I don't know if he was dissatisfied with the chess game or with what he thought of in his heart.

Li Zhan didn't know whether he was a little more emotional or a little more questioning.

If the reason is really calculated, it is naturally because Tang Ning was in the house back then, and there was no room to play. Could it be that she would use such great talent to deal with the women in the palace? How can a woman with such a great talent be brave enough to fight privately?

But Feng Xiao couldn't say it directly, he said softly after he fell, "General Tang is not only a good general, but also a good prime minister. But she doesn't ......" is a good wife.

It would be a waste to let such a person stay in an empty house and fight with other women.

Of course, with Tang Ning's character, he would not like to stay in the house, raise children for others, and wait until someone comes. She likes to take the initiative and she loves living outdoors in the sun.

"But she's going to be a good ...... Empress. Li Zhan said, the jade hand held the chess piece, slowly put it down, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "You lost." ”

No matter how complex the game is, sometimes it only takes one piece to land to solve all the problems.

Winning or losing is set, and everything must be divided.

I don't know if it's because of Li Zhan's words, or because of the sudden change in the chess game, Feng Xiao's fingers trembled.

"The time is up, Feng Xiao, I'm going out, remember that no matter what you do in the future, you must report to this king first." Li Zhan said, picked up a robe next to him and put it on his body, and then walked out.

Although Li Zhan said it casually, when Feng Xiao heard it, there was a cold sweat behind his back.

Feng Xiao didn't know how much Li Zhan knew, but he didn't regret doing it. He had a gut feeling that he had to let Li Zhan leave Tangning as soon as possible, that woman could easily ruin Li Zhan's fighting spirit. With so many brothers' lives and ambitions still in Li Zhan's hands, he couldn't allow this to happen.

However, let Li Zhan suffer a little now.

Feng Xiao now knows very well that with the direct grievances between Tang Ning and Li Zhan, it will not be resolved without a long time.

As long as...... As long as Li Zhan's body recovered, he had a way to get Li Zhan to leave Xiliang.

If two people want to love each other, it may only be a matter of two people. However, if two people want to separate, sometimes they only need a little manipulation by outsiders.

A plan in Feng Xiao's heart has faintly surfaced, and in the place where Li Zhan can't see, he dropped another white character on the chess game, and immediately lost, but the whole white son was connected to each other, trapping the black dragon.

Unlike usual, Li Zhan changed into a guard's clothes at this time.

But even so, his domineering spirit is difficult to hide. A simple squire's clothes, stiff and stiff for him to wear a princely feeling.

When Tang Ning saw Li Zhan, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

She didn't expect that Li Zhan would pretend to be a guard in order to get close to him. When the people around her can be replaced at will, people from other countries can also be immersed in it.

"On behalf of others, the prince's ability is really heavenly." When Tang Ning walked past Li Zhan, he coldly threw down a sentence.

"I just want to protect you for the time being." Li Zhan looked at Tang Ning's back and said softly.

Although the anger in Tang Ning's personality has been subdued a lot, although the effect of governing the country with hegemony is good, it is easy to hurt the interests of others and arouse jealousy. In addition, she provoked the old fox of King Weiyuan, although she won a temporary victory in the battle with him, she had to always be on guard against Murong Cang's counterattack.

Li Zhan was born as a prince, and his understanding of imperial power is deeper than Tang Ning's, and now his worries about her have risen to a higher level.

Every sharp sword needs an indestructible scabbard, if he can, Li Zhan hopes that he can stand behind Tang Ning, be her sword sleeve, and always protect her and support her by his side.

But at this moment, Li Zhan can only be a little guy next to Tang Ning.

"Why, the prince is unwilling, if the prince is unwilling, he doesn't have to stay here. How could it be ...... in the hot sky" Before Tang Ning finished speaking, Li Zhan said, "I'll go, I'll go!" ”

After Li Zhan finished speaking, he joined the first batch of teams to dig wells and ditches.

In order to show his sincerity, Tang Ning directly asked the attendants around him to join the labor army.

However, only Li Zhan joined. Downing assigned tasks to the other squires.

Looking at the man standing among the people, standing out from the crowd in terms of height and temperament, a smile appeared on the corner of Tang Ning's mouth.

If you want to play tricks with her, just wait to be stepped on by her!

In the past, water conservancy projects were carried out by people from the Ministry of Engineering, and people from other departments supervised the work. But this time, Tang Ning asked the people from the Ministry of Industry to supervise the work himself. She assigned tasks to everyone, at least so much work every day, if you finish it early, you can rest early, if you can't finish it, you have to work overtime to continue to work.

In terms of project quality, the leader of each team is a complex test effect, and if it is not qualified, he will be responsible for the consequences. If the well there is not up to standard, it will be repaired by the man who dug the well.

Divide people into batches of management, and use a small range of responsibilities to sit together, and small leaders are responsible for the system. In terms of personnel management, it looks orderly.

Because after the Ministry of Industry made the equipment, a group of people were specially trained to learn to use it. Yesterday, some people were trained again, so when the work started, whether it was digging a well or digging a canal, everything went well.

It was Li Zhan, because he didn't expect Tang Ning to assign him to the laborers, and he was a little at a loss at the beginning, but he quickly calmed down and carefully read every detail of the workers and remembered them in his heart.

However, just when he wanted to go up to operate, the uncle of the foreman said, "Official, just watch us do it, this is to torture us and others." This kind of rough work is tiring, let us people with rough hands do it, and we are very touched that Her Highness can let the people around her stand with us people! ”

Although Li Zhan did not reveal his identity as the prince, he was just "the person of the eldest princess of Changning", which made the people around him look at him differently.

Besides, with a white jade hand like Li Zhan, can it be used for work?

"If you can do it, I can do it too." As Li Zhan spoke, he took the rope and operated it in a good manner.

Although the heavy physical work is tiring, it is still very simple compared to drawing up a battle plan.

"The eldest princess of Changning is powerful, and the people under her are also powerful." Seeing that Li Zhan was more learned than others, the foreman immediately looked at him differently. He didn't expect that a person raised by a son-in-law would be able to do heavy work.

The equipment for digging the well moved up and down with a rope pulling a very thick tree trunk, and Li Zhan could not pull the rope with his hands at this time. Although his movements are no different from others. But this kind of work is done by him, and it seems surprisingly noble, just like Li Zhan is not digging a well now, but performing art.

"Official, I didn't see you during training a few days ago. Did the princess teach you privately? Seeing that Li Zhan's movements were not quite standard with him, the leader pushed his arm and asked.

"Nope." This is the first time in his life that he has done rough work.

When the foreman saw him say this, he whistled and said, "It's quite presentable!" ”

The people around him were very simple, and Li Zhan quickly got acquainted with him.

In a harmonious atmosphere, the man who led the worker suddenly mysteriously lay in Li Zhan's ear and said something that made his face blacken.
