At the end of the year, the whole capital was not very happy.

Heavy snow and cold weather road closures are no joke, although the old man instructed the Ministry of Industry to make ice trucks and ice roads, which can quickly transport some of the canal materials back to the capital, slightly alleviating the trouble of the lack of materials in the city.

However, relying on ice trucks and ice roads alone cannot meet the huge needs of the entire people in the capital, as well as the displaced people outside the city, and all kinds of materials are in short supply.

That is, the grange outside the city is basically the private property of the magnates, and the output of them barely makes the life of the powerful in the city nourishing, but it is a big regression from the usual quality of life, causing a lot of complaints.

Today is also depressed, if it were not for the production of the imperial village outside the city, even the supply of materials in the palace would be a little unsustainable, and the mood from the month of Layue to the present day after the year was relatively gloomy.

Finally, when the weather showed signs of warming, trouble came again.

The ice in the canal began to melt, and the means of ice truck transportation gradually became unusable, and the ice that began to thin could no longer carry the ice car to pass.

This time I will have to die, and there is no problem with the connection between the capital and the outside world, but the materials from outside cannot be transported in.

The Yuzhou section of the canal is full of blocks of ice, and ordinary cargo ships do not dare to move forward quickly, even if the materials are transported to the previous distribution center, they cannot be quickly transported to the capital without ice trucks.

The weather is warmer, the ice and snow are melting, and the official roads have become muddy, and it is impossible to transport supplies on a large scale, so that the supply of materials that the capital can get is even scarcer than during the snowstorm years ago.

This can't go on like this!

The royal family and the magnates in the city can still rely on the grange outside the city to deliver daily necessities to live a 'hard life', but they can't stand it for a long time.

At this time, the water and land transportation is broken by more than eight floors, and the situation is quite bad.

"Ministers, do you have an idea to solve this matter?"

At the New Year's court, regardless of those etiquette rules, I directly asked the ministers present today if there was a solution?

This can stop a group of ministers, they don't have any ideas now, where can they come from?

The palace was silent, and it was inconvenient to talk about things on such an occasion, even if you had an idea in your heart, you wouldn't say it in front of everyone.

At first, he was angry in his heart, but he quickly reacted, waved his hand and hurriedly ended the court meeting, and beckoned the cabinet to the elders, as well as the six Shangshu all to the Qianqing Palace for discussion.

Is this the right way for the emperor to deal with things?

Which time is not the first to discuss at the small court meeting, and then pretend to be a formality at the big court meeting, how can such an ordinary official have the courage to take the initiative to provoke?

The eldest lord entered the Qianqing Palace with a cabinet elder and several scholars of comparable status.

"Guys, do you have a solution to your troubles?"

Now he was not polite at all, and asked directly: "If you don't solve the trouble as soon as possible, it doesn't matter, but can you pampered guys stand it?" ”

Naturally, I can't stand it!

It's just that these words will never be said in front of the emperor.

"Jia Enhou, do you have any ideas?"

Now I don't want to fool around like this, he called people here to ask questions.

"It's very simple, temporarily abandon the canal and take the sea route!"

The eldest lord said directly: "The transfer from Tongzhou will soon arrive!" ”

"No, never!"

Qian Shangshu of the household department jumped out again: "The livelihood of 100,000 shipwrights in the canal relationship book, once something goes wrong, it's not a joke!" ”

"I didn't say that I wanted to abolish canal shipping, why is Qian Shangshu in such a hurry?"

The eldest man smiled: "It's just to solve the urgent need at the moment, and it will be restored to the original state in the future!" ”

"Say it lightly!"

Qian Shangshu sneered: "When the materials transported from the sea arrive, where do they put them?" ”

"Tongzhou!"

The eldest lord showed a smiling face that was mentally retarded, and said lightly: "With Tongzhou as a transit, the materials urgently transported from the sea can be sent to the capital in time!" ”

"Hehe, Lord Jia seems to have forgotten that the road between Tongzhou and the capital is already muddy!"

Qian Shangshu continued to behave as a demon and said, "Your Majesty, don't listen to Lord Jia's nonsense!" ”

"Indeed, the official road right now is muddy due to the melting snow!"

Today smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "This is not a bad thing, but I am afraid that sea transportation will not work!" ”

Qian Shangshu sneered again and again, he wanted to see the jokes of the eldest master.

It's just a pity......

"It's easy!"

The eldest lord said directly: "Wasn't the ice road before built in a few days?" ”

"At present, it has been replaced by road construction and paving cinders, and so many people will be able to call the official road from Tongzhou to the capital in half a month at most, and all of them will become hard and tight cinder roads!"

"Jia Enhou, how long will it take to build such a road?"

With joy in his eyes, he hurriedly asked: "I'm afraid that the official road from the wharf to Tongzhou also needs to be repaired and sorted out by manpower!" ”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The eldest lord smiled: "Anyway, the homeless people outside the city only need a mouthful of food to sell, and they are willing to sell coolies, as long as the manpower is enough and the organization is strong, it is easy to do it!" ”

"How long do you need and how much manpower do you have to do this in a short time?"

Jin smiled and said, "Is it okay for you to be personally responsible for this?" ”

"Done!"

The eldest lord happily accepted and said: "Your Majesty, this time it is still a cash-for-work, and it is estimated that a lot of food will be consumed!" ”

"As long as you can repair the official road from Tongzhou to the capital in a short period of time, and let the resources from outside be sent in a steady stream, what is it to spend a little food?"

He waved his hand and said arrogantly: "The matter is so decided, Jia Enhou don't disappoint me!" ”

The eldest lord indifferently received the order, and soon left the palace, and the yamen of the Ministry of Industry soon started operating again, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry had to come forward to repair the road.

Soon, the eldest lord was in the camp camp outside the city, with hundreds of thousands of young people, under the coordination and command of the officials of the Ministry of Industry, and quickly plunged into the work of repairing the official road.

After a cold winter, the life of the displaced people outside the capital is still not good, mainly there is no income, the government soup soup has always been clear soup and water can not be full, and the life is very difficult.

They also wish they could work as hard as possible to earn enough food, as was the case last winter when the ice track was built, and this time is no exception.

The scene of hundreds of thousands of people working collectively was very shocking, and the most shocking thing was that through the organization of the construction of the displaced people in sections, in less than half a month, the official road from Tongzhou to the capital, which was quickly repaired, had almost been built.

At this time, the eldest lord proposed to the present day that the wharf where the ships docked could be repaired because of the large number of laborers under his command, so that the ships would not be able to dock when they came.

Today, I personally went out of the city to accept the solid and good cinder road outside the city, and I was very satisfied with the work of the big man, and directly agreed to the big man's proposal and let the big man be fully responsible for this matter.

The eldest lord was not polite, hundreds of thousands of young and strong laborers were busy working together, not only the scene was spectacular, but the labor sales were also quite amazing.

However, in just half a day, a standard sea ship dock has been built near the sea in Gyeonggi, and sea ships of more than 3,000 stone can be docked.

As soon as the dock was repaired, there were already ships docked on the other side of the sea.

The next thing is very simple, just like the previous successful construction of the ice road, a steady stream of all kinds of materials were transported from the sea boats, and then sent directly to the capital by horse-drawn carriages and other means of transportation.

Suddenly, most of the problems of the shortage of various living materials in the capital were solved.

"Jia Enhou, you did a great job!"

On this day, I specially called the eldest lord to the palace and praised it well.

"It's just a gesture, it's really nothing!"

The eldest lord waved his hand and said with a smile: "Actually, I still don't want to see the miserable situation of the homeless people outside the city, just do a little effort!" ”

"What a slight dedication!"

The look on his face today was a little inexplicable, and he said leisurely: "Ladies of the court, only you raised and solved the troubles of the court, I will not forget it!" ”

The eldest lord didn't care, the emperor's promise really couldn't be trusted, nodded and didn't say much, and it didn't take long to leave the palace.

In the evening, he did not return directly to the turtle courtyard, but went to a restaurant under his control, went up to the third floor to find a private room to sit down, and not long after a middle-aged man came in from outside.

"Well, have you started recruiting homeless people?"

The eldest old man didn't raise his head, and asked directly: "I hope you don't use force, and only recruit homeless families who are willing to stay away from Daqi!" ”

"Don't worry, sir!"

The middle-aged man replied respectfully: "Before coming, the prince and the king of the county have already instructed, tell the little one to be careful not to show his feet easily!" ”

The eldest lord nodded and asked, "What is the situation on the side of the prince and the county king, have they completely occupied the land of Java?" ”

"Almost!"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's just that the number of Daqi people under his command is too small, I don't hear that Daqi Gyeonggi suffered a heavy snowstorm, and the two highnesses hurriedly organized a fleet to come and pick up people!" ”

At this point, he paused and continued; "Fortunately, with the help of adults this time, we can unknowingly recruit a large number of displaced people to reclaim the wasteland, otherwise if we follow our previous plan, we will definitely show clues!"

"That's great!"

The eldest lord said with a smile: "After I go back, tell the two highnesses that the things that Jia promised have been done, and I hope they won't regret it when the time comes!" ”

The middle-aged man was silent, this defeat of the matter that he could blindly participate in, no matter who had the upper hand in the end, if he did not show his mouth strictly, he would definitely die without a place to be buried.

"Alright, let's go when we're done!"

The eldest lord got up, waved his hand and said with a smile: "In the future, try to contact as little as possible, if there are any difficulties and troubles, find the remnants of the two highnesses, don't always bother me!" ”

After speaking, he patted his ass and turned to leave, without the slightest intention of saying more.
