Hearing the words of the Seventh Prince, Fang Haoze couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Seventh Prince, forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, are these two million taels the first phase of the start-up funds?

"This, the annual budget of the dynasty has been set at the beginning of this year, and these two million are finally coming from the household department. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "When the Seven Princes said this, they couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He also knew that the two million taels of silver were not much, but the dynasty had only been established for a few years, and there were many places to ask for money, but the financial revenue was not much.

After thinking about it, the Seventh Prince couldn't help but think of the emperor's hint to himself before leaving, saying that it was not easy to control the water, and he had to plan it slowly.

"However, we are really short of money, and we can borrow Wuzhou's conscription this year for the water control project. The Seventh Prince opened his mouth and said.

In the world of Daxin, commoners are forced to work every year, which is unpaid labor for the imperial court. Including hard labor, military service, etc.

Each adult male is also required to serve one month of unpaid labor in the county every year, and is engaged in local civil engineering, building bridges and roads, harnessing rivers and canals, and transferring water and valleys

If a person is unwilling or unable to serve in person, he may pay to hire someone to serve on his behalf, or the government may order him to pay for his service without the need for his personal service.

Serving was very hard, not only had to work for the imperial court in vain, but also had to carry dry food and so on.

At this time, the Seventh Prince's mentality was already slightly unbalanced, and all he thought of was with the help of Wuzhou.

"Seventh Prince, although the silver is worth two now, but if the two million taels of silver are really sprinkled on the water control project, I am afraid that even a wave will not be able to turn over. Hearing the explanation of the Seventh Prince, Fang Haoze couldn't help but smile bitterly.

You must know that Dingjiang is the world's first water system, and to block the exit of its Tianlin Gorge, such a huge project may require hundreds of thousands of laborers to be requisitioned and worked for several years or even nearly ten years before it can be built well.

According to Fang Haoze's estimate, I am afraid that it will cost tens of millions of taels of silver a year, and it will be an astronomical data in a few years.

"As for the migrant workers, not to mention the uneven population and labor force of the service, just one Wuzhou, with the flooding of the Dingjiang River in the past few months, I am afraid that there are very few people who have not served. Fang Haoze looked at the Seventh Prince and said with a headache.

"This year is just the beginning, and my father also told me to control the water slowly. After surviving this year, next year's budget will be more. The Seventh Prince's face was a little unnatural. Fang Haoze asked directly just now, but it was really on the key point, and he really didn't know how to reply.

"Fang Inspector, you are also new to officialdom, and you don't know the trick. Qi He on the side smiled bitterly at this time: "I have been in the Ministry of Industry for a long time, and I know that the world's projects have always been like this, and many things need to be done by the officials in charge, including the money and food. ”

"Well, in that case, I know what to expect. Seventh son, seeing that it is getting late, you should rest early, I will think about it tonight. Fang Haoze said helplessly.

Hearing this promise, the Seven Princes and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu both breathed a sigh of relief. None of them has much contact with specific practices, and one of them has only studied in the Ministry of Industry for many years, and it is indeed not good at dealing with these current situations.

At this time, even they had forgotten that Fang Haoze, who was discussing with them, was still a teenager who was not yet a weak crown age.

Let's say that Fang Haoze dealt with the two princes of the Seventh Prince in the closed-door meeting of the small courtyard, and everyone left the small courtyard separately.

The Seventh Prince's Seventh Prince arranged accommodation in the state government tonight, but as for the Ministry of Works, Shangshu Qi and Zhenghe Water Control Inspector Fang Haoze and other people who still stayed in Jincheng, they did not have this kind of treatment.

Gan Wenyao made it clear early on that the state government has a limited number of houses, and it is already his best to vacate an office and arrange for the Seven Princes to live.

It was Fang Haoze who asked Mingyun to rent a mansion in Jincheng, and he and other henchmen who had been brought all the way from Jinling to Bai Yujing lived together.

When he arrived at the residence, Fang Haoze said hello to Mingyun and entered his main house alone.

After arranging the enchantment with divine power and confirming the safety, Fang Haoze sat cross-legged indoors, drawing a circle in front of him with his hands, and then a half-human-high light screen appeared in front of him.

This light screen is very smooth, with a little hand, there are bright ripples on the screen, and then stroke with your hand, the ripples are invisible again.

It turned out that Fang Haoze deeply felt the complexity of the implementation of the water control project, so he was ready to use his divine power to build a model, intending to find a solution.

As you tap your finger on the screen, four dots of light appear on it, surrounded by a line of words of different sizes.

Looking at it closely, they are: "money", "power", "thing", "work" four big characters, followed by a line of small character remarks.

"Since ancient times, there is no smooth sail to do a big thing, especially to start with the world's largest river, which involves too many aspects. ”

According to Fang Haoze's idea, the water control project should first open the way with money, then establish an organizational system, and finally include all materials and labor in the system, which is the operating rule of the big project.

Fang Haoze stared at the light screen in front of him, his eyes were slightly cold, and he muttered to himself. "Now, even if there are seven princes to take the lead, it is difficult to guarantee even basic materials, not to mention that there are many affairs behind. ”

It was only in this situation that he knew why the cabinet was so opposed to the policy of blocking the water in the first place, but the national strength was really limited.

However, in the world of Daxin, where productivity is low, it is indeed appalling to use hundreds of thousands of migrant workers to control water. Fang Haoze believes that the water god of the Dingjiang River will not sit idly by and let such a large scale of migrant workers block his own river.

Even if the Dingjiang Water God reacts slowly and disagrees with the actions of ordinary mortals, the hundreds of thousands of migrant workers who serve will cause trouble after a long time.

One is not good, these hundreds of thousands of people may be the source of the chaos in the world. In all dynasties, there were many rebellions because of forced labor. It is no wonder that before leaving, the emperor specially instructed the seven princes to slowly figure it out.

It is also because of this that Fang Haoze also feels that when he leads the water control project, he must control the number of service personnel and leave no hidden dangers.

After thinking about it, Fang Haoze waved on the light screen in front of him, erasing the "power", "matter", and "work", leaving only the "money".

With a wave of his right hand, he enlarged the word: "In fact, the core of everything is still tied to resources, that is, silver taels." However, now that the imperial court has only allocated a mere 2 million taels of silver, I am afraid that it will be difficult to even purchase water control materials. ”

Fang Haoze frowned tightly: "This is really a penny that is difficult for a hero." ”

After thinking for a long time, Fang Haoze's eyes suddenly lit up, and the light screen in front of him was extinguished: "If you jump out of this situation, you can give it a go." ”

After speaking, he took out the pen and paper, and began to write, and after a while, a charter was released.

Blowing dry the ink, he looked at the charter and smiled: "This is a feasible way, just wait for the approval of the Seven Princes tomorrow." ”

Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and now, Fang Haoze will definitely not stop at the last step of water control. Because this is related to his own collection of incense power, and it is also related to his net worth and life after returning to the main world.
