After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Ying finally laughed at herself, shook her head and sighed.

"I almost forgot."

"In this era, there is no such thing as a hot search······"

On today's court meeting, most of the things Liu Ying did and said most of the things were actually discussed in advance with the old lady Lu Pheasant in the past few days.

Including after the court meeting began, he first pretended to be a 'I'll observe' posture, and waited for Xiao He to arrange the mobilization of forces such as public security and palace ban in Chang'an.

It also includes 'begging' the courtiers to take out the slaves at home, and use 'I remember your favors' as a bargaining chip in exchange for some free labor.

The fact that the marquis of a hundred officials will inevitably give out private slaves and will inevitably refuse to pay money is not unexpected by Liu Ying and Lu Pheasant's mother and son.

But the bad thing is that before the court meeting, Liu Ying's preparations were not done.

First, Liu Ying slightly overestimated the support that the aristocratic class could give for the renovation of Zheng Guoqu.

The second is that when he played that day, he heard Liu Ying's budget of '50,000 people, three months', but Yang Chengyan, as a professional, did not correct it on the spot.

This made all the plans of Lu Pheasant and Liu Ying's mother and son in the past few days according to the default budget of '50,000 people, three months', and the labor gap of '10,000 people'.

As a result, today's court discussion, Yang Chengyan said a few words, and the forced labor budget exceeded 10,000 people, and the 'support of the aristocratic class' estimated in Liu Ying's plan was also directly halved.

In an instant, the shortfall in forced labor was nearly twice as high as the original budget.

In desperation, Liu Ying could only come up with a premeditated method, but she didn't intend to rush to implement it.

- Stone brick canal!

In his previous life, Liu Ying, as a puppet emperor, although he had no opportunity to participate in court politics, he was not deprived of his right to know about major events in the court and China.

In the previous life, Zheng Guoqu's renovation and maintenance work was after the death of his father Liu Bang, when the old lady Lu Pheasant was regent as the queen mother, headed by Prime Minister Xiao He, and built the name of Hou Lu Shizhi, and was mainly responsible for Shaofu Yangchengyan, so that it could be done.

At that time, the renovation of Zhengguo Canal was exactly what Riyang Chengyan said today, with 30,000 troops, filling in the soil upstream of Zhengguo Canal, digging out the blocked silt downstream, and then simply tamping it down.

As for the widening of the river, it was vetoed by the Prime Minister's Office due to 'insufficient budget' and was put on hold indefinitely.

Liu Ying vaguely remembered that in her previous life, until she reached the age of twenty-two, when she was hollowed out because of wine, and was about to die, Zheng Guoqu's widening work was still far away.

On the contrary, Chang'an City was completely completed a year before Liu Ying's death.

But compared to the previous life, in this life, the situation is different.

In the previous life, the Empress Dowager Lu Pheasant ordered the renovation of the Zhengguo Canal, but it was purely out of practical considerations and did not have any other political intentions.

And this time, Liu Bang, the son of heaven, ordered Liu Ying to 'supervise the country', and asked Liu Ying to renovate Zheng Guoqu, the meaning of this matter is a little different.

To put it simply, it is Lu Pheasant's cultivation of Zheng Guoqu in the previous life, that is, pure cultivation, if it can be saved, it will be saved, and the repair can almost be used.

But in this life, Liu Ying acted as a prince to supervise the country, and advocated the renovation of Zheng Guoqu, so he couldn't fool things.

- Fools can see that Liu Bang threw such a hot potato as 'Zheng Guoqu' to Liu Ying, just to make Liu Ying make mistakes, and it is easy to store in a good name!

In the face of this opportunity and challenge, in order to keep his position, to initially establish his prestige in the court, and to gain the first popularity of the prince's career, Liu Ying must do his best to get this matter done beautifully.

And Liu Ying's previous plan was basically copied from the plan of Xiao He, Lu Shizhi, and Yang Chengyan to renovate Zheng Guoqu in their previous life.

——30,000 official slaves from the Shaofu Mansion, that is, in the previous life, Lu Pheasant asked Lu Shizhi to put it in the court, and used this to name Zheng Guoqu for the renovation of the canal, so as to gain political qualifications.

And in this life, in order to make up more forced labor and make Zheng Guoqu repair better, the old lady Lu Pheasant had an additional method: pay money and hire private slaves from the families of the courtiers of the Marquis to serve as forced labor.

But even so, because Prince Liu Ying was in charge of the country and strongly advocated the renovation of the Zhengguo Canal, the 'Zhengguo Canal River Widening' was advanced in advance, which also seriously exceeded the budget.

In desperation, Liu Ying could only endure the pain and take out the hole card of 'stone brick paving ditch'.

In fact, the idea of 'paving the canal with stone bricks' was originally a method that Liu Ying planned to spend five to ten years completely renovating the Zhengguo Canal after ascending the throne, so as to achieve it once and for all.

If it weren't for the lack of forced labor and the lack of money as remuneration, Liu Ying would never have thought of using stone bricks to lay the bottom of Zhengguo Canal so early.

But there was no way, with a stroke of the pen of his father, Liu Bang asked Liu Ying to repair the canal; As a result, money, food, and forced labor, and there is nothing to be desired.

Considering that Liu Ying is now less than fourteen years old, and her father Liu Bang only has more than a year of life left, Liu Ying must try her best to be perfect when repairing the canal.

In desperation, Liu Ying could only come up with 'using the stone bricks used in the construction of Chang'an City to lay the Zhengguo Canal to try to influence the people to help spontaneously', which is not a way out.

But the key to whether this method can work is that 'the prince did his best to build the stone bricks of Chang'an to repair the Zhengguo Canal', which must be known by as many people as possible!

It's better to even Fang Cai, Liu Ying's words in the western suburbs stone cutting field, and spread throughout the entire Guanzhong!

Thinking of this, Liu Ying couldn't help but think about it for a while, so with a flattering smile, she stepped forward and knelt down in front of the old lady Lu Pheasant.

"Queen Mother~"

"This matter, it seems that something is a little wrong······"

Seeing Liu Ying's coquettish appearance, Lu Pheasant smiled helplessly, and gently helped Liu Ying up and made him sit back beside him.

"It's okay~"

"On the cloth, although you can't write 'the prince builds the stone bricks of Chang'an to build the canal', you can also knock on the side and mention this left and right."

"And along the way of transporting stone bricks, send more officials with good faces, and that's it."

Wen Yan soothed, Lu Pheasant couldn't help but groan a little, and then seemed to say to himself: "If you can regenerate some incidents, you can gather people in Beique ······"

After speaking, he trotted over at the gate of the temple and a warrior dressed as a forbidden army, and as soon as he arched his hand, he ran into the temple.

"Queen, family."

As soon as he bowed his hand, the armor soldier said a little before raising his head with a tangled face.

"Chang'an Gonghou Guixun, courtier Gonghou, Yan is on the order of the family, and at this moment, they are each taking their private slaves and staying outside the Weiyang Palace!"

"There are also tens of thousands of people, who seem to mistakenly think that the meritorious marquis and hundreds of officials and private slaves want to attack the Weiyang Palace, and they are clamoring outside the palace······"

Hearing the announcement of the forbidden army sergeant, Lu Pheasant, Liu Ying's mother and son couldn't help but tighten their faces.

After a while, when Liu Ying turned his head sideways with a suspicious face, he saw a touch of heartfelt joy on Lu Pheasant's face.

"Is this providential, and you want to help my son?"

Looking at the banter on the corner of the old lady's mouth, Liu Ying only felt that in her mind, a string called 'Believe in Science' shook violently, and there was a faint tendency to break······
