Because of Yun Yao's speech, the court was suddenly silent, and even Wu Meiniang couldn't help but look sideways, she didn't expect Yun Yao to oppose her development of Lingnan. Lingnan is the land of Baiyue to the south, and it can also lead to Tianzhu, which is a trade route comparable to the Silk Road, so the development in Lingnan is planned by her, first the canal belt, and then Lingnan, I don't know why Yunyao is against it.

Yun Yao's opposition is not because the development of Lingnan is not good, but considering the future war, it is still necessary to support the north first, because the northern grassland is still the main enemy of the Tang Dynasty. Because the nomads have horses and cavalry, they are not easy to deal with. Therefore, it is better to let the economy of the north develop, and attract more residents to the north when the time comes, so as to resist the iron hooves of the nomads.

If the economy keeps shifting to the south, the people in the north will be unstable, but this will be a big problem.

The temperature drops and tensions rise.

"I don't know what His Highness thinks?" Wu Meiniang asked.

"I think we should consolidate the north, and then the focus should be on the north." Yun Yao said: "Nomads are still our biggest problem, and the northern grasslands are suitable for grazing, and it is easy to build up cavalry, which is a big problem. ”

"But investing in the north is half the effort, but I'm afraid that the treasury will not have so much money. But investing in Lingnan, twice the result with half the effort, you can have millions of benefits within three years, Baiyue, Tianzhu have a huge market. If you invest in the north, the cost of transporting raw materials and goods will increase, and the cost of defense will also increase, and when the goods are expensive, who will buy them? "Wu Meiniang is very decisive, when it is time to make a decision, there is a decision, and when it is time to give up, give up. It is necessary to invest in the north, but the gains outweigh the losses, and the cost is too high.

When the emperor heard this, he also felt that Lingnan was better, after all, there would be benefits within three years. The place in the north, he also knew, because he went to the north when he was in Xia County, that place was really hard, it was difficult to develop, many merchants followed him at that time, but they all ran away soon, and they really couldn't stand it.

Although he was in the north when he went down to the county, as an emperor, he had to consider the reality of the situation, the north is indeed difficult to develop, and it is a difficult bone to gnaw, which is an objective fact.

Yun Yao knew that it would be like this, there was a place that was easy to develop, so why be thankless. In fact, judging from the situation of the imperial examination, it can also be seen that the gap between the north and the south is getting wider and wider, and the economy of the south is getting better and better, so there are more and more officials from the imperial examination in the south.

Reading is still a matter of money, although it is said that he is poor and rich, but he can't even afford books without money.

Therefore, when Li Chengqian was alive, the biggest change he made was to divide the north and south lists, and if the examination questions in economically backward places were as difficult as those in the south, he would really not be able to get ahead. After all, teachers, learning environment, etc., can be piled up with money.

Yun Yao is ready to design a development plan for the north in the rest of his time, but this is not easy. Because the objective reasons for the failure of the north to develop are still very realistic, the harassment of nomads in the north, the cold climate and other reasons have increased the development cost.

Having money doesn't necessarily mean overcoming these problems, let alone not having money.

Therefore, it is really difficult to do things in the second mortal world, and the problems that can be solved with a breath of immortal qi in the first mortal world will cause all kinds of troubles in the second mortal world.

Of course, Yunyao has a plan, to build the Northern Railway, and then to build a power plant, first to develop two important towns in the north, and the rest later.

"I put forward this statement, of course, it was planned." Datang's development plan, Yunyao has already done it, is a number of infrastructure projects covering the whole country, covering the country's railway network, transportation network, and even the power grid are ready, just wait for the technology in place to start construction, but this process must be very long, a hundred years may not be completed, and this is still the whole country, subdivided into different plans in various places.

"I plan to build two important towns in the north first, one inside the Great Wall and one outside the Great Wall, and the two important towns are responsible for radiating the northern border. As for money, I am going to do this, with the developed southern counties leading the backward northern counties, the goods of the north being directly accepted by the south, and the south providing jobs for the north. At the same time, a railway had to be built to connect the east and west and the north and south, from Gyeonggi Changan to the four directions. Yun Yao's plan is huge and detailed, she said: "This is my new plan after the 'Canal Belt Development Plan', the 'Datang One Game of Chess Plan'. ”

"Developed counties lead backward counties?" Wu Meiniang didn't expect to be able to play like this at all. This is to indirectly reduce the pressure on the national treasury. But once it succeeds, it's different.

It is entirely possible to develop two important northern towns in the next 30 years, and the railway is also a big project, and I don't know if it can be completed in 30 years, which is even more difficult than digging a canal. They also knew about Yunyao's railway plans and had even seen locomotives.

However, the current locomotive is basically a toy, which can only run back and forth on the short five-kilometer railway outside Chang'an, and there is no economic benefit, that is, to see that the lively people will spend money to sit on it. But the technology of the train has been figured out by Yun Yao.

At that time, Emperor Yang of Sui spent six years to build the Grand Canal and requisitioned millions of labor, Yun Yao's plan was even more ambitious, ready to spend thirty years, but it was estimated that the construction period was even tighter than that of Emperor Yang of Sui.

But the development of the canal belt has proven that transportation is necessary, and if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.

The hundred officials looked at each other, and they all realized that after 30 years, the princess was about to start exerting her strength again, but at that time, with Li Shimin's support, the situation in the court this time was more treacherous and changeable than before, the emperor was not in harmony, and the prime minister Wu Meiniang was also fighting openly and secretly. Whether the princess can continue to decide the future is completely unknown.

The emperor felt that such a big issue should be talked about later, so he decided to withdraw from the dynasty first, and then discuss how to bring down Wu Meiniang. It seems that we can't use false schemes, but real schemes.

False schemes, impeachment in court, pay attention to evidence. The real conspiracy is directly killed.

However, when the real conspiracy is used, Wu Meiniang will definitely fight back, and it will definitely be a situation that will not stop dying. The emperor really couldn't bear it, and after one failure, he wanted to plan a second plan.

Wu Meiniang admired Yun Yao more and more, and it was really hard to refuse that she could come up with this method of promoting development first and then development. After all, everyone is a Datang person, can they still refuse ruthlessly? Moreover, many people in the south also have a northern ancestry, and they migrated to the south because of the war. She also has to bring the support of her own faction, although Yun Yao's subordinates often hold Wu Meiniang back, but they can still cooperate in major matters of right and wrong.

Because Wu Meiniang can also benefit from the big development, after all, only with a pool can funds be gathered, Yun Yao is the one who proposed to dig a pool, she must support it, after all, drink water and don't forget to dig wells. Only by setting up a name first and gathering funds can you divide the money one by one.

If the funds can't be gathered, what will they share? And Wu Meiniang knew very well that Yun Yao would never scoop water from the pool, so the officials were very afraid of her, because she had no shortcomings.

Yun Yao has a small treasury by herself, so she doesn't need to ask for money from the pool at all, and besides, she doesn't care about this money even if she is a god. Since Yun Yao is not a competitor, then Wu Meiniang does not need to object, how to divide the water in the pool at that time is mainly up to her, as long as the accounts are done well and the project can be completed, Yun Yao will not investigate whether the water is led to Wu Meiniang's private well.
