Of course, in order to keep the Shaofu for himself after ascending the throne in the future, and to keep this pitiful right to speak, it is only a decision made by Liu Ying from a long-term perspective and taking precautions.

The most important thing at the moment is to repair Zheng Guoqu and give a satisfactory answer in the big test given by my father.

On top of this answer sheet, the most difficult problem to solve is not money and food······

"That is, the Shaofu knows the reason for the emptiness of the treasury now, and he will speak bluntly."

As he spoke, Liu Ying condensed his face slightly, and bowed his hand to Yangcheng Yanwei.

"Shaofu said that the agricultural tax obtained by the treasury is determined by the abundance and lack of agricultural products; The amount of money received by the young government depends on the number of households. ”

"Ran Gu thought that these two could really be combined into one!"

Speaking of which, in Liu Ying's expression, there is a rare appearance of undoubted strength!

"In today's Han Dynasty, agriculture is the foundation of the country; The people plough in the fields in spring and summer, and get the harvest in autumn. ”

"Grain is abundant, agricultural taxes are abundant, and the grain from the treasury is abundant."

"If the grain is abundant, can the people not pass on the heirs?"

"When the heirs are young and strong, they will be divided into separate households, and the mouth of the young mansion will be endowed, and there will be not many people?"

After asking two questions in succession, Liu Ying stretched out his right index finger and poked it firmly on the floor in front of him.

"Therefore, I think that no matter the agricultural tax of the treasury or the oral tax of the internal money, it can be solved in one law."

"—to make the grain of the people and peasants more abundant!"

"When the people have abundant food, they will have more children; There are many children and the people are abundant, and this is the wealth of the people! ”

"When the people have abundant grain, the agricultural taxes will be abundant, and the treasury will be abundant; And the people have a surplus of food, and the birth of children and the mouth is abundant, the mouth is abundant, and the household is abundant, and the internal money can also be rich! ”

"This is the wealth of the country!!

Listening to Liu Ying's sonorous and powerful words, even if he was not very familiar with people's livelihood and internal governance, Yang Chengyan couldn't help but nod slightly.

Liu Ying was right.

As long as the people can fetch more food, then everything will be fine.

More grain means more agricultural taxes, and the treasury can have more revenue;

If there is enough food, the people will not be encouraged to have children because they don't have enough food to eat;

When these children grow up and set up their own families, the less they will be able to have more mouths.

This is also the characteristic of every feudal agrarian regime.

-- As long as there is enough food, all problems can be properly solved; However, once the agricultural harvest is insufficient, no matter how small the contradiction is, it will become an unsolvable problem.

Seeing that Yang Chengyan could listen to his words, Liu Ying was also a little relieved in her heart.

Swallowing and spitting to moisten her throat, Liu Ying continued: "Therefore, the renovation of Zheng Guoqu is the first priority today. ”

"Why?"

"The passage and plugging of the Zhengguo Canal are directly related to the civil farming in Guanzhong, and the abundance of grain obtained!"

"If Zheng Guoqu is connected, the people will be rich, and the people will be rich!"

"However, if Zheng Guoqu is still like this, and it cannot benefit the people's farming, the people will suffer from the lack of food, and the treasury and internal funds will also suffer from the lack of taxes and endowments, and they will have to 'rule by doing nothing'······"

"Lone said so, Shaofu may understand?"

After speaking, Liu Ying only felt a dry mouth, and looked at Yangcheng for a while, and her face was a little tired.

This is also a technical house in Yangcheng, which made Liu Ying so bitter, and broke it and crumpled it to talk about this.

If it were Xiao He, there would be no need for Liu Ying to talk so much about this matter, I am afraid that as soon as the words began, Xiao He would nod and say, "Okay, I know everything, no need to say it again."

Seeing the irrepressible tiredness in Liu Ying's expression, Yang Chengyan's face also stiffened, and he immediately coughed lightly twice in embarrassment.

After thinking for a moment, he saw that Yang Chengyan frowned again, and raised his head with confusion.

"At home."

Seeing Yang Chengyan's posture, Liu Ying only felt that in his heart, there were 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by······

- I can't make sense of that?!!

Her heart was close to going crazy, but on her face, Liu Ying still had to make a warm and pleasant look, and looked at Yang Chengyan with a smile.

It's just that in that 'smile', there seems to be a faint sense of urgency······

"What the family says, the minister roughly understands."

"If you want to fill the government and treasury, you need to dredge the Zhengguo Canal so that the people can get rich first."

"But even so, the soil upstream of the Zhengguo Canal must be stone-bricked?"

Saying with confusion, Yang Chengyan couldn't help but pick up the mini roll from the low table in front of him.

"Looking at home, using this kind of silicon as a material, you can also consolidate Zheng ······"

As soon as Yang Chengyan was halfway through his words, he saw Liu Ying shaking his head helplessly, and immediately stood up from the ground with a sigh.

Coming to Yang Chengyan, Liu Ying was a little entangled, and finally sat down directly in front of Yang Chengyan, only kneeling down from the position of the case.

"Why doesn't Shaofu understand······"

After a little ridicule, Liu Ying couldn't help but smile kindly, and finally put her true thoughts in front of Yang Chengyan without reservation.

"If you want to fill the treasury, you must first make the people rich; And if you want the people to be rich, you should renovate the Zhengguo Canal to promote the next few years, and the harvest will be everywhere in the pass after the autumn! ”

"Whether the people are rich because of the good harvest, or the treasury is enriched because of the wealth of the people, the most important thing is money and grain."

"What can you know about the Shaofu: What is the most important thing in the renovation of Zheng Guoqu?"

"Money?"

"Food?"

"Stone bricks, or soft willows and gravel made of silicon?"

After asking a few questions one after another, Liu Ying shook her head a little impatiently.

"None of it."

"——The first priority of renovating Zheng Guoqu, and the one who is lonely and trying his best to conspire is a person!"

"It's the young and strong force of the canal!"

Saying this with a little irritability, Liu Ying took a deep breath and suppressed her irritability.

"Shaofu Fang Cai also said that in Guanzhong today, there are only more than 900,000 households."

"There are more than 900,000 households in this people, and my father has already dispatched more than 600,000 people on this expedition!"

"It is said that now, most of the young people in Guanzhong have gone, and there is no more than that!"

"In such a situation, how can Lone Dang make up enough of the 60,000 troops needed to renovate the Zheng Guoqu as Shaofu said?"

"There are 30,000 official slaves from the Shaofu, 3,000 slaves from the 100 official meritors, and more than 27,000 slaves, where do you come from?"

Speaking of this, Liu Ying couldn't help but sigh a long sigh, and looked at Yang Chengyan's gaze, which was also a little helpless.

"There are 900,000 households in Guanzhong, and more than 600,000 young and strong people have been transferred for his father to fill the army, but he is alone with the prince, and he really can't re-enlist the people in Guanzhong."

"However, if it is not levied, Zheng Guoqu will not be able to be repaired, and when the next year comes, the people of Guanzhong will still have no hope of a bumper harvest, and the people will suffer from the lack of rations, and there will be no way to talk about the wealth of the people and the country."

"For today's plan, only by exhausting the savings of the Shaofu and preparing to build 200,000 stone bricks in Chang'an, can the people feel the heart and build the canal from the past."

"Otherwise, the renovation of Zheng Guoqu will be far away······

After that, Liu Ying finally sighed with a long sigh, and immediately got up and bent over, looking at Yang Chengyan with a ashamed face.

"Shaofu suffers from the construction of Chang'an City for an indefinite period, and it is lonely in the chest."

"However, if you want to repair Zheng Guoqu, you will have the sorrow of being unable to serve, Shaofu, can you know?"

"Alone out of Shaofu stone bricks 200,000, in order to secretly ask the people of Guanzhong to build the canal from the past, Shaofu, may understand???"

Seeing Liu Yingying bowing down and standing two steps in front of him, looking at himself with a melancholy face, Yang Chengyan didn't know how to answer for a while.

Liu Ying had to use stone bricks to lay the Zhengguo Canal, what did she want to do?

Although Yang Chengyan couldn't express it clearly, he already understood it in his heart.

If Liu Ying knew what Yang Chengyan was thinking at the moment, he would inevitably introduce a new word into this pre-century world.

- White prostitution.

Yes.

No matter how good Liu Ying said, no matter how fanciful it is, the essence of this matter is still a prostitute.

Use the 200,000 stone bricks in Shaofu to put on a posture of 'my Han family doesn't even repair the emperor, but also build a canal for your people', to see if there can be a person who writes honest and pure to be moved, so as to prepare his own dry food, go to the Zhengguo Canal, and volunteer as a forced labor!

Is it disgusting?

Disgusting!

Very disgusting!

If you don't know the reason, even Yang Chengyan, who has been in the court for more than ten years, will feel very contemptuous about it!

But Liu Ying's words made Yang Chengyan want to get up every time he wanted to brush his sleeves, but he couldn't make the trip.

- What else can I do if I don't?

- No, how can Zheng Guoqu be repaired?

If there are not enough people, the Zhengguo Canal will not be able to be repaired, so won't there be no water to irrigate the acres of fields in Weibei next year?

If Weibei's grain output is still like this year, with a yield of three stones, two and a half stones, or even lower, how can the state treasury get agricultural taxes?

If the food ration is not enough for their own use, how can the people have more children?

Guanzhong's population, household registration, and Shaofu's oral endowment, how can we talk about a steady increase?

The treasury has no agricultural taxes and childbirth, and the Shaofu has no oral income, so how can we talk about building Chang'an and how to govern the people of the world?

At this moment, Yang Chengyan finally understood: Fifty years ago, the 300-mile-long Zheng Guoqu became the core of South Korea's 'tired Qin plan'.

-- Once such a large-scale water conservancy project is repaired, there is a great probability that the people's will will be lost!

Fifty years ago, Ying Qin, who was trapped in a corner, resisted.

But today's Han family doesn't dare to go down the blockage of 'I have abused the people thousands of times, and the people treat me like their first love'······

"Alas······"

"Anyway, ······"

"At least compared to forced labor, this method is indeed slightly better······"

It's all bad choices, so choose one of them that isn't so bad, right?

With such thoughts, Yang Chengyan finally got up from his seat with mixed feelings, bent down extremely slowly, and bowed to Liu Ying.

"The sorrow of the family, the minister, the ······ of knowledge"

"This matter, the minister's only family's order, is to obey."

"Please also ask the family to show me: What help do you need from your ministers in this matter?"

"Zheng Guoqu's renovation case, can the family explain otherwise?"

Seeing that Yangcheng Yanman was full of entanglement and hesitation, and finally full of guilt, Liu Ying was finally relieved to say the sentence 'obey' to herself.

Wen Er smiled, stepped forward, and pulled Yang Chengyan's arm, Liu Ying stared solemnly into the depths of Xiang Yang Chengyan's gaze.

"Today's Shaofu is willing to help, lonely, and even if you die, you don't dare to forget it!"

"Five years!"

"Five years at most!"

"Lonely and Nuo Shaofu: At most five years, the mansion and treasury should be full, and the money and grain should be surplus!"

"At that time, Gu Bi should advise his father and the emperor and speed up the construction of Chang'an City!"

"If the father and the emperor do not allow it, the orphan will bear the burden of Jing and apologize to the Shaofu in front !!of him."
