"The river is often flooded, and the blockage of the inner canal is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also because of the elevation of the riverbed, and the courtiers feel that it is urgent to widen the river while digging the inner canal."

"The inner canal will continue to be dug to the north and south, and the branch rivers will connect it, and finally inject into the sea, once and for all, it will no longer be troubled by the flood in the south and the drought in the north within a hundred years."

Emperor Yunjing's mind already had a blueprint for a north-south Grand Canal with Shen Yuan's words, and if he could really do it like what Shen Yuan described, his imperial annals would definitely add a brilliant amount to it.

"What the county lord said is too simple, if you want to open up the north and the south, how long will it take to succeed, and if there are any other natural disasters along the way, it will inevitably fall short." Qin Taishi laughed.

Several stubborn and conservative ministers also nodded, "Yes, let's open a warehouse and release grain, and allocate some disaster relief materials." ”

"That's right."

These old things are used to living a luxurious and carefree life, and they don't want anything unexpected to happen, so they are very opposed to Shen Kite's proposal.

Shen Yuan looked sideways, his eyes were cold, and said: "There are a lot of people living in Yuejiang, opening a warehouse and releasing grain is just a measure to appease, and the endless opening of a warehouse and releasing grain will only bring more trouble, if you can't treat the symptoms and root causes, this Yuejiang will become a fatal wound to the Ming Kingdom sooner or later!" ”

"Father, son, the younger sister thinks that the method of the younger sister is worth trying, digging the north-south canal can not only control the flood, but also connect the north-south traffic and develop the shipyard." Wei Li said.

He didn't just stand up to defend Shen Yuan, he was also a disciple of Xiao Nanshan, he could also see the value of this canal if it was opened.

Of course, Emperor Yunjing also thought of this layer, but what Qin Taishi said was not unreasonable, digging the north-south canal, manpower, material resources, and financial resources were indispensable, and even during the period, no one could predict natural disasters.

Should he take this risk?

Shen Yuan sat upright on the side of the dragon case, straightened his waist, and said to Emperor Yunjing with a rational and calm gaze: "Your Majesty, instead of opening a warehouse to the people of Yuejiang unconditionally to release grain, it is better to hire them to dig a canal and make proper use of their labor, without the need to work day and night." Most of the people in Yuejiang are peasant households, and their annual grain harvest is considerable, so we can make them work for half a day every day, and then let them go home to farm the land for the other half day, and their wages will be set according to the amount of grain they hand over every year, so that we can greatly save costs for the state treasury. ”

"In the same way, if their grain production is not up to standard, they can also be deducted from the progress of the excavation, and this balance point can be handed over to the household department to be formulated later. In order to stir up the enthusiasm of the people and prevent them from being lazy halfway, His Majesty can also motivate them by means of appropriate tax cuts. ”

"In order to let the people know that what they are doing will be a great event that will be passed down through the ages, the courtiers suggested that a prince should be in charge of the excavation plan."

This last point, Shen Yuan is also paving the way for Wei Li, as long as Wei Li takes over this matter, he will definitely have a lot of achievements in the future, and the position of the prince is also in the bag, where is there anything to Wei Sheng.

Doesn't Wei Sheng like to hide her sister's place? Shen Yuan asked him to do nothing!

Shen Yuan finished talking about his plan in one breath, and His Royal Highness had both opposition and approval, and they quarreled for a while.

Emperor Yunjing lowered his eyes and looked at the painting on the table, such a big project started at this time, and he must be extremely cautious.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say to you alone." Just when Emperor Yunjing was wavering, Wei Yan suddenly came out of the queue and said to Emperor Yunjing.

Emperor Yunjing's eyes seemed to be filled with a chuckle, and he said to the others, "Yes." ”

Except for Wei Yan, everyone was withdrawn from the main hall, and a group of people blew cold wind at the entrance of the main hall, but it was also very obvious to stand in line.

Qin Taishi led a group of old stubborns to stand on the left side, while Shen Yuan and Wei Li and some young ministers stood on the right side, and neither side gave each other a good look.

"Humph!" Qin Taishi glanced at Shen Yuan with a cold gaze and snorted coldly.

Wei Li stood in front of Shen Yuan and glanced at Qin Taishi as if warning, and Qin Taishi gave up.

"Senior brother, I'm not afraid that he will come to find trouble, one day I will kill this old horseman!" In front of Wei Li, Shen Yuan didn't hide it.

Wei Li smiled gently, seeing the dark green under Shen Yuan's eyes, although it was covered with fat powder, it could still be seen at a close distance, and his heart ached, "Senior sister, now that I have taken over the affairs of the court, you don't have to work so hard, and you don't owe me anything." ”

Wei Li wanted to reach out and rub the top of her head, but when he thought that her wedding was imminent, he took back the hand that was halfway out.

Shen Yuan said with a smile: "It's not all for senior brother, I do this for many other reasons." However, I will try my best to help my senior brother stumble Wei Sheng, if the Grand Canal is dug, my senior brother must seize the opportunity, and my senior sister has a plan to let you complete the project within two years. ”

Shen Yuan winked at him slyly, Wei Li was slightly stunned, and his mind was full of thoughts for a while.

Thinking of the words that Wei Yan said to him at the racecourse that day, he always felt that his junior sister was a canary that should be kept in the golden house, but Wei Yan thought that Shen Yuan was an eagle that could soar in the sky.

Shen Yuan is a very good person.

"Well, my sister is really powerful." Wei Li sighed lightly and said.

The door of the main hall was pushed open, Wei Yan walked out, and everyone greeted him.

Wu Quan, who was following behind Wei Yan, said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty is going to rest, when the canal is dug, there will be a decision for Your Majesty tomorrow morning, Your Highness, adults can go back to the house to rest first." ”

Wei Yan walked to Shen Yuan's side and held her hand, and sure enough, after a cold wind blew outside for a while, her hand became a little cold.

Wei Yan took off the cloak on his body and draped it on Shen Yuan, "Let's go, go home." ”

"Ah, I'm not cold, so you better wear it." Shen Yuan was worried about Wei Yan's body, and hurriedly said.

But Wei Yan half-hugged her, and she didn't allow her to refuse at all, and when she passed by Wei Li's side, she just glanced at it lightly.

"Senior brother, then I'll go back first!" Shen Yuan was pushed by Wei Yan, so he had to turn around and shout to Wei Li in a hurry.

Wei Li only felt a fine and dense pain coming from the tip of his heart, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't go and grab Shen Yuan with Wei Yan like before.

It's better to prepare gifts for Shen Yuan as soon as possible.

……

Shen Yuan lay on Wei Yan's generous back, yawned, and asked in a confused voice, "What did you say to Your Majesty?" ”

"Tomorrow Your Majesty will agree to the opening of the Grand Canal." Wei Yan said this.

Shen Yuan shook his feet, he couldn't see how happy he was, but said, "What did you promise Your Majesty?" ”

"It's just some money, not a multiple price, Qin Wangfu doesn't have much money, there will be more money." Wei Yan said this quite willfully.

But what he said about giving out some money was actually a promise to bear eighty percent of the money spent on digging the canal, even if the Qin Wangfu was sitting on a mountain of gold and silver, this time it would be half empty.
