Chapter 0080 If the canal can't be built, it won't be built

Hearing Zhang Cang's words, the courtiers and officials who were in a circle couldn't help but come to their senses.

"Please go home, think twice······"

Although he didn't understand too much, why Liu Ying had to lay stones at the bottom of Zheng Guoqu, but for Liu Ying to use stone bricks to pave the bottom of Zheng Guoqu, the courtiers and officials only subconsciously felt wasted.

- Yangcheng Yan also said that these 200,000 stone bricks are the ones that Shaofu has worked hard to save in the past five years to build Chang'an City!

If you take out these stone bricks, you can spread the entire upper reaches of Zhengguo Canal, and from then on, you don't have to spend money to maintain Zhengguo Canal, then that's fine.

But Zhang Cang said again: 200,000 stone bricks are smashed down, and the result can be paved for five miles?

This ······

It doesn't seem necessary, right?

Anyway, with ordinary stones, it can also suppress the sediment in the upper reaches of the canal, and even if there are gaps, it is much better than nothing now, and it will save a lot of effort to maintain it in the future.

In the eyes of the courtiers and officials, Liu Ying, a pampered and noble prince, was able to come up with such a useful idea as 'laying stones at the bottom of the canal to suppress the sediment', which was already very surprising.

As for the stone bricks of Shaofu, it is better to keep them and use them to build Chang'an City in the future.

Thinking like this, everyone couldn't help but raise their heads slightly, and was about to persuade again, when they saw Liu Ying's face full of banter, and there was a little determination in his eyes when he looked at Yang Chengyan.

"Dare to ask Shaofu."

"The construction of Chang'an City is something that my father ordered Shaofu to do quickly in the fifth year of the Han Dynasty."

"At the end of the tenth year of the Han Dynasty, why did Shaofu stay put, only knowing how to prepare stone bricks, but not building the four walls of Chang'an?"

Hearing Liu Ying's words, Yang Chengyan's words suddenly stopped, and for a while, he couldn't say even a word······

Seeing this, Xiao He was about to explain his origin, when he saw Liu Ying smiling again.

"Shaofu doesn't know, and lonely words are known to Shaofu."

"-No money!"

"—no food!"

"—No usable force!"

"In addition to the 200,000 bricks and stones, all that is needed to build the city is what it should be, and there is nothing !!"

Liu Ying shouted angrily without warning, which suddenly provoked hundreds of officials and courtiers to subconsciously bow their heads, silently bearing the prince's inexplicable anger.

saw that Liu Ying was still a little annoyed on her face, and looked sideways at Xiao He.

"Lonely asked Xiao Xiang again."

"- Shaofu internal money, why don't you have any money?"

"- Prime Minister's Treasury, why is there no food?"

"——In today's Guanzhong, there are more than 900,000 households, and my Han Zuo wants to build the imperial capital Chang'an, why can't he use the power to serve?!!"

asked a few questions one after another, and Liu Ying's face was full of annoyance!

Being stared at by Liu Ying for a moment, Xiao He's face finally brought deep guilt again.

With a long sigh with a sad face, Xiao He bowed down tremblingly, and actually made a gesture to kneel down.

As for Yang Chengyan on the side, as early as when Liu Ying shouted angrily for the first time, he was so frightened that he fell to his knees.

Seeing Xiao He about to kneel, Liu Ying couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly jumped forward and pulled Xiao He up before Xiao He knelt down.

When Xiao He raised his head in devastation, Liu Ying only sighed and patted Xiao He's hand comfortingly.

Immediately turned around and lifted Yang Chengyan up from the ground.

"Lonely's anger is not resentful, nor is it reprimanded Shaofu."

After appeasing Xiao He and Yang Chengyan a little, Liu Ying's anger on his face did not decrease at all.

"Lonely anger is resentful of the Warring States princes who have fought the world in the past hundred years!"

"Lonely anger, it is hatred of the princes with different surnames in the eastern part of the country, and they have to be blessed with heavenly grace without knowing it, and they have repeatedly started wars!"

"Lonely and angry, he is angry that his teeth are too young, and he has not supervised the country as soon as possible, so as to investigate the disadvantages of Zheng Guo's canal blockage!"

made a few sonorous and powerful sounds, Liu Ying only felt that her qi and blood were surging, and her snort became heavier.

After a long while, Liu Ying suppressed the anger in her chest, took a deep breath, and the anger on her face subsided slightly.

I saw Liu Ying turn her head sideways again and look at Yang Chengyan, who bowed her head and was silent.

"Shaofu Fang said that this stone brick of 200,000 is used for the construction of Chang'an City."

"Could it be that the virtue of my Han Zuo depends on the capital Chang'an?"

Lang Sheng asked, Liu Ying turned his head again, looked at Xiao He, who was still ashamed, and pointed to the two palaces of Changle and Weiyang not far away.

"Or maybe my father has to establish Han Zuo, because of the magnificence of the emperor's palace and the grandeur of the harem?"

Speaking of this, Liu Ying put her hands behind her back and shook her head leisurely.

"It's not a matter of being alone."

"My father has to establish Han Zuo, but he has won the hearts of the people of the world, and everyone expects it!"

"It is my father who bestows the people with the title of Tianjue, and the benevolence and righteousness are extensive, and the people are allowed to recuperate, and the people of the world are at peace!"

"It is Xiao Xiang, Shaofu, and the meritorious marquis who went out with his father, and the hundred officials and princes who stayed in Chang'an, helping his father and emperor to settle the people, and Fang Hanzuo can be established!"

Saying that this was a little taboo, and there was no second person other than Liu Ying, who could say it in a grand manner, Liu Ying looked at Yang Chengyan again, sighed and shook his head.

"Shaofu said, this stone brick is 200,000, which should be used for the construction of Chang'an City."

"However, I think that this is a big fallacy·······"

As she spoke, Liu Ying couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Why?"

"The passage and blockage of the Zhengguo Canal are related to the livelihood of tens of thousands of households in Weibei!"

"If you lose the capital city of Chang'an, you can make hundreds of thousands of people live and work in peace and contentment, have enough food and clothing, and think that this is a good governance that benefits the country and the people!"

After speaking, Liu Ying turned her head to the side with a resolute face, looking at Xiangyang Chengyan and Xiao He respectively.

"Shaofu thinks, but does it?"

"Xiao Xiang, what do you think?"

Hearing Liu Ying's words full of pride and ambition, and full of true feelings, Yang Chengyan nodded approvingly, and gave Liu Ying a dumb hand.

As for Prime Minister Xiao He, he bowed to Liu Ying with respect, and under the eyes full of gratification, his eyes were faintly red······

Seeing that Xiao He and Yang Chengyan did not speak, and the officials and ministers also showed praise on their faces, Liu Ying finally sighed a little and tried her best to adjust her complexion a little calmer.

"In that case, the Shaofu will do what is ordered."

"Tomorrow, 200,000 stone bricks will be served by the officials and slaves of the Shaofu and transported to the upper reaches of Zhengguo Canal in order."

After saying that, Liu Ying looked at Xiao He again and bowed his hand a little apologetically.

"Shaofu uses officials and slaves as slaves to transport stones and bricks to the upper reaches of Zhengguo Canal, and I am afraid that the prime minister will need to transfer a number of soldiers to escort them."

"When the bricks arrive, they should also gather together and be guarded by soldiers, so that the bricks will not be stolen and destroyed by thieves."

Hearing this, Xiao He and Yang Chengyan couldn't help but give up their hands.

"Ministers, ······ command"

Seeing this, Liu Ying finally nodded with satisfaction, and looked up at the eyes of the hundred officials and courtiers, and there was also a sense of openness.

"Princes need not worry."

"Treat your father's class teacher, in this case, you should be in front of your father!"

"If a prince is convicted because of this, Lone should also ask the father to be guilty, so as not to help Lone, so that the princes will suffer this unjustified disaster!"

Hearing Liu Ying's words, the loyal ministers of the hundred officials hurriedly surrendered their hands, and they didn't even dare to say it.

Seeing Liu Ying taking care of himself, he continued: "Treat your father's class teacher, and play it in person for your father: a few years later, Shaofu should go all out to cut stone bricks to lay the first hundred miles of Zhengguo Canal!" ”

"If my father promises, I should take this as my ambition—"

"——The first hundred miles of Zheng Guoqu, its soil has not been consolidated for a day, and the imperial capital of Chang'an will not be built in a day!"
