"Your Majesty, what Qin Shangshu said does have a certain amount of truth, but the minister thinks that the sewer is imperative, and the pit should indeed be built!"

Li Shangshu first agreed with Qin Yafan's opinion, but after a change of words, he expressed his support for Lin Zifan......

This attitude made the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty a little confused, and the empress was also puzzled: "Reason?"

"Your Majesty, if every household had dug up the latrine and drained the pickled material into the sewer, the laborers who poured the night incense would indeed lose their means of livelihood. ”

"But in comparison, hundreds of thousands of Chang'an people don't have to pay the money to pour night incense, which is a great thing for many of our Chang'an people!"

Li Shangshu's words were straightforward and reasonable, but then the conversation changed again, so that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but roll their eyes. You have so much, can't you finish it all at once?

"But...... Hundreds of thousands of people no longer have to pay the silver for pouring night incense, our treasury ...... There is also a slight loss of income. ”

"How to deal with it depends on Your Majesty's decision!"

After finishing speaking, Li Shangshu also retreated, but her words made Lin Zifan impressed......

"Sure enough, among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, only I, a cheap godsister, am the most witty......"

Lin Zifan admired in his heart. Li Shangshu's words, on the surface, seemed to be offended by both sides, but after thinking about it carefully, she never offended any of them!

It seems that he has a knife on both sides, but in fact, he has saved himself......

"Talent, absolutely talent! It's a pity not to be a diplomat by this means. Lin Zifan admired in his heart.

It seems that this is true, but if she goes to find trouble, she will inevitably say: "I have been wronged! I have inserted Qin Shangshu even harder!"

Well...... Well, it seems that it makes sense to think about it? Immediately, the matter is closed.

If Qin Shangshu went to find trouble, she would inevitably say again: I am in the same group as you, and I obviously stabbed Lin Shangshu......

But no matter what the process is, the final decision is back in the hands of the empress.

The empress also rolled her eyes helplessly, and asked you to say, isn't it just for you to give advice?

You guys are better than monkeys, this ball kicking, it's amazing, right?

The empress was helpless and looked at Lin Zifan and the other people from the department......

At this moment, Xiong Chumo and the Li family sisters both had anxious looks on their faces......

They followed Lin Zifan for a while, and naturally knew that Lin Zifan had a bigger plan! The sewer was just a beginning, and it was imperative to have a toilet or something.

If it is directly vetoed by the empress now, wouldn't it be a disadvantage?

This is not only a heavy blow to Lin Zifan, but also a blow to the entire department, how can you not be in a hurry?

"Lin Shangshu, what do you think about this matter?"

The empress frowned, and could only let Lin Zifan say it herself.

She is naturally more inclined to Lin Zifan, after all, the empress also knows some of Lin Zifan's plans, but now, she is really not easy to make up her mind.

After all, the livelihoods of hundreds of people are at stake...... Relatively speaking, the little treasury income of the night incense is not much in the eyes of the empress.

How much night incense does a paper mill have to pour to compare with the annual income of the paper mill?

There are so many night incense, I'm afraid that the total amount is not enough to bury the entire Chang'an!

"Your Majesty, the minister has nothing to say, but the sewers have been built!"

"As for the latrine...... Lin Zifan shook his head and smiled: "What do you think, what is right and what is wrong?"

Everyone was stunned, right or wrong, and did this have anything to do with the current topic?

Seeing that no one answered, Lin Zifan was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "The development of anything will be accompanied by change, before the change, no one can say whether it is good or bad, but if everyone feels that the previous behavior is not very good, it should be changed." So...... Change, or do you not change?"

When the civil and military officials heard this, they gradually reacted and thought for a while......

The empress's beautiful eyes lit up, she looked at Lin Zifan, her eyes couldn't help but squint slightly, she smiled, and said in her heart: I know that this guy has a way......

"The notice of our department has not forced anyone to dig a latrine, but it is just a suggestion!"

"If the people think that digging latrines is really beneficial, then they will naturally dig them, and if it is the opposite, they will never do it......"

"Since the laborers who poured the night incense have expressed their dissatisfaction and have no 'business', it shows that there are many people digging latrines...... Very much!"

"Obviously, the people thought that digging latrines, connecting them to the sewers, and letting everything that was pickled down the drains was the best option. ”

"Then whether it's me, Qin Shangshu, or the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, or even Your Majesty, why worry about this matter?"

"What does Your Majesty think?"

After Lin Zifan finished speaking, he asked the empress, and the empress nodded again and again: "Reasonable!"

"What Lin Shangshu said is reasonable!" The national teacher exclaimed: "Your Majesty, our Datang has always respected the wishes of the people, and Your Majesty, as a generation of Ming monarchs, should naturally be the same!"

"The people think it's right, the latrine and the sewer have merit!

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Prime Minister Cao Cheng nodded in agreement.

Immediately afterwards, General Huo and others also agreed one after another, after all, this truth is easy to understand, and as soon as Lin Zifan mentioned it, everyone naturally understood.

"But Your Majesty, the hundreds of laborers ......" Qin Yafan was anxious, she really didn't object to the sewer, but how to settle the hundreds of laborers?

Datang is already backward, in other words, there are few jobs!

Suddenly, hundreds or thousands of people were 'laid off', and they still had to make a fuss?

"This ......" the empress glanced at Lin Zifan and looked at Lin Zifan.

Lin Zifan grinned, naturally knew how to deal with it, but he was unwilling to steal the limelight of the empress, so he turned his back to the ministers, and under the gaze of the empress, he pointed in the direction of Qin Yafan......

"Qin Shangshu?" the empress was stunned: "Ministry of Industry?"

"Huh?"

The empress is very smart, so she naturally understood it instantly, and cast a charming gaze at Lin Zifan, and her red lips opened lightly.

"I remember that in the previous dynasty, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Science all said that there was not enough manpower!"

"In this case, now that there are hundreds of laborers idle, Qin Shangshu, it's okay if you don't feel happy, and you are still worried about this, are you not thinking about it?"

"Forehead ......"

Qin Yafan was stunned for an instant......

Think about it......

it? yes!

Isn't there a shortage of manpower in my special engineering department? Whether it's building roads or gunpowder or something, there are not enough people, and now hundreds of more people are coming out, and I'm afraid that there will be no place to place them?

She can't wait to give herself two big ear scrapers! Building roads is not a technical job, as long as you are not a fool, you can do it!

"Your Majesty......" At this moment, Li Shangshu of the household department jumped out: "What do you think...... These hundreds of people, the household department can arrange them!"
