Liu Ying didn't know anything about Yang Chengyan's inner activities.

To be precise, it's a lack of attention.

——In the past time, there were too many things for Liu Ying to worry about······

First the Korean mission, then the first court meeting, as well as the crown ceremony of the Son of Heaven, the big wedding ceremony, and even the complicated affairs such as the death of Xiao He and the digging of the ditch mixed in between them, all made Liu Ying feel all the time: The first premise of being a good emperor is likely to grow a few more heads······

Let's just say that right now, Liu Ying obviously remembered that there was Yang Li's stubble, and he did plan to summon Yang Li after returning to Chang'an and make arrangements for him, but in fact, even after returning to Chang'an, there were a bunch of things waiting for Liu Ying to deal with.

Strictly speaking, Liu Ying went out of Chang'an to inspect the construction site of the 'Yuqu', and from a certain point of view, there is no lack of meaning of 'going out to breathe and relax'.

But no matter how you say it, Liu Ying is still the Son of Heaven after all.

Since he is the Son of Heaven, it is difficult for Liu Ying's vacation to do as much as ordinary people, or as meritorious marquis and officials······

·

"Sons and daughters, see the queen mother."

Half a day later, Liu Ying, who rushed back to Chang'an non-stop, didn't even have time to go back to Weiyang Palace, so she came to the Changle Palace where her mother Lu Pheasant was.

And when Liu Ying walked into the hall and bowed to the Queen Mother Lu Pheasant, two figures also stood up in the hall.

"The Mausoleum of the Marquis of the Inner History and the Kingdom of An, see Your Majesty."

"An Guohou."

With a slight bow to Wang Ling, who got up to salute, Liu Ying cheered up, turned sideways with a light smile, and focused his eyes on Wang Ling's side, the figure that Liu Ying was extremely familiar with.

"Prime Minister Pingyang Marquis Ginseng, see Your Majesty's ······"

Looking at the radiant Cao Shen, praising and singing in this Changxin Palace, Liu Ying didn't dare to be sloppy at all, and hurriedly straightened up and bowed slightly to Cao Shen.

"Prime Minister Cao Cheng······"

This is also one of the 'complicated government affairs' that made Liu Ying feel exhausted in the past period.

——In the winter of November, the imperial historian Pingyang Hou Cao Shen was officially worshiped by Liu Ying as the Han Minister!

Although Cao Shen succeeded Xiao He and served as the second prime minister of the Han family, he was a candidate who was decided a few years ago, but when it came to the official appointment, the etiquette and procedures that should be had were also indispensable.

Although the three invitations and three resignations of the rotten streets in later generations have not yet appeared in today's Han family, don't forget: when the court is dedicated to Changqing, it is the uncle and grandson!

——From scratch, relying on the brain to make up a complete set of 'Han rites', let the Han Taizu Emperor Liu Bang wear clothes, and he couldn't help but sigh 'I only know how noble the emperor is today' Old Confucian Uncle Sun Tong!

There are uncles and grandsons who sit in Fengchang, let alone worship the prime minister, even the New Year's Day, the royal family's sacrifice to the Taimiao and Gao Temple, it is not sloppy at all.

Naturally, as the 'successor' who was determined a few years ago, Liu Ying's process of worshipping Cao Shen as the prime minister also failed to escape the 'destruction' of his uncle and grandson.

Specifically, the procedure is too complicated, and just one point is enough to make Liu Yingsheng worse than dead.

——According to the Xiangfu ceremony invented by Shusun Tong, it took 21 days from Liu Ying's official promulgation of the edict to Cao Shen's official receipt of the Xiangyin and officially went to the Xiangfu as the 'Han Minister'!

In these 21 days, there were no less than dozens of 'monarch orders', which were sent out of Weiyang Palace in the form of edicts and oral edicts;

During this period, Liu Ying, the Son of Heaven, as well as Wang Ling's internal history and Shusun Tong's Fengchang, could almost be said to have done nothing, and put all their energy on Liu Ying's worship of Cao Shen as the prime minister.

For this visit to the prime minister, even the Shaofu internal government spent millions of dollars worth of materials on behalf of Liu Ying to show Liu Ying's respect for the new prime minister Cao Shen······

"Five million two hundred seventy nine thousand six hundred and eighty ······"

"Cao Shen Na Cao Shen ······"

Secretly shook his tooth socket slightly, Liu Ying smiled lightly at any time and asked Cao Shen to sit down, but every time he remembered this string of numbers with zero and round, Liu Ying's heart would always be uncontrollable to drip blood······

-- That's nearly 6 million dollars, which is converted into grain at today's market price, which is 30,000 stone corn!

- enough for 10,000 border guards to eat for a month!

If you take Cao Shen's rank and ten thousand stones, and the actual annual income of four thousand stones, just the cost of worshipping Cao Shen as a prime minister is enough to give Cao Shen seven years of money!

And now, the food that was originally enough for 10,000 frontier soldiers to eat for a month, or to give Cao Shen seven years, was used by Uncle Sun Tong's ruined thing, and all his brains were used for some bullshit 'worship ceremony'······

In this regard, Liu Ying just wants to say: The image project is really unwanted·······

Although Liu Ying knew in her heart that for Pingyang Hou Cao Shen, who had 10,600 households, these millions of dollars were nothing at all, Liu Ying still couldn't hold back the strange idea that 'this prime minister is really expensive'.

If Liu Ying didn't understand it herself, such an idea would not be understood by this era, I'm afraid that Liu Ying would really pull a few henchmen and complain a few words, 'Cao Shen can't live for seven years, but I spent seven years worshipping Cao Shen as a minister'.

Even now, the raw rice has been cooked and the trees have been made into boats, Liu Ying will always involuntarily bring some 'must find a chance to earn this money' mentality when facing Cao Shen.

But obviously: this is just Liu Ying's wishful thinking.

Regarding Liu Ying's calculations, the Empress Dowager Lu Pheasant in the palace, the Inner History Wang Ling, and even Cao Shen himself were not interested······

"My son will look at it, and I should know what happened to the ditch, where has I been now?"

Just when Liu Ying was still worried about Cao Shen's 'money-losing goods' and Shusun Tong's 'loser', the Queen Mother Lu Pheasant said softly, and finally pulled Liu Ying's thoughts back to her eyes.

After a little reflection of the old lady's question, and after a moment of silence, Liu Ying finally temporarily let go of her 'dissatisfaction' with Cao Shen, turned to the side with a light smile, and nodded slightly to her mother Lu Pheasant.

"I asked when I returned to my mother."

"——Emperor Hongfu of Emperor Taizu Gao, and the ancestors of the Liu clan are blessed, and everything is going well."

"When the child looked back, the ditch had already taken shape, but the bottom of the ditch was not smooth;"

"According to Shaofu, at the latest, in spring and February, the canal can be opened to water, and then it will be used by the people······"

Hearing Liu Ying's words, Lu Pheasant only smiled and nodded with satisfaction, turned sideways, and looked at Cao Shen and Wang Ling in the hall with a slight swagger.

Those vivid eyes seemed to be saying to Cao Shen and Wang Ling: Look, this is my son! Pro-son!!

As for Liu Ying, who was sitting beside Lu Pheasant, she quietly thought about the 'ditch' that was about to be dug through by the old lady and her subordinates.

The canal did not exist in Chinese history; In the original history, there has never been an emperor who specially built a canal for this marquis of Yuwen;

But from a geographical point of view, the canal actually exists in real history.

——Because now, the ditch that is being dug by Shaofu Yangcheng Yanli is actually the 'white canal' dug in the history of Emperor Wu.

The historical Baiqu was built in the second year of Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty, and its geographical location is the same as today's 'Yuqu', which is the same as Zhengguoqu, but it is not as straight as Zhengguoqu, but flows down from the valley mouth of the head of the canal in the southeast direction.

The Zhengguo Canal, which runs east-west, flows straight eastward, and finally flows into Luoshui at nearly right angles; The northwest-southeast Baiqu flows through Jingyang, Sanyuan, Gaoling and other counties to the Xiaqi oblique confluence into Weishui.

In the record of "Hanshu Gou Xianzhi", it is: the first valley mouth, the end into Liyang, into the Wei River for 200 miles, irrigated more than 4,500 hectares;

At the same time, in history, Emperor Wu ordered the digging of the White Canal, and it was the same as the 'Drinking Canal' named after the Marquis Xiao He today, which was named because of the suggestion of Zhao Zhong's doctor Bai Gong.

Therefore, for the White Canal, or the 'Yu Canal' of the current timeline, even if Liu Ying does not have many hydraulic instructions, he can roughly draw the location of the river on the drawings according to the memory of his previous life.

The biggest difficulty of water conservancy projects in the feudal era is undoubtedly to detect the geopolitical topography and plan a reasonable route;

But after Liu Ying personally gave the specific route, Shaofu dug a ditch, which was almost equivalent to an open-book exam.

- The answer is laid out nakedly, and there is no need for the respondent to think about it, just fill it in.

It is precisely because of this that the 'White Canal', which cost the Han Dynasty for three winters in the original history, has become a 'small project' that can be completed in four months, that is, one winter, in the hands of today's Shaofu Qingyang Chengyan.

Perhaps because of this, the court did not pay too much attention to the 'small project' of the canal.

After all, compared with the Zhengguo Canal, which has a total length of more than 300 miles and can irrigate more than 40,000 acres of fields on both banks, the length is only 200 kilometers, but it is the same as the Zhengguo Canal and flows into Luoshui, and the white canal that can irrigate only 5,000 acres of fields and is only half of the width and depth of the Zhengguo Canal, cannot be regarded as a water conservancy project with too high difficulty.

——A few decades ago, Qin, who built the Zhengguo Canal, was still only a 'Qin State'!

For the 'Qin State', a 300-mile-long Zhengguo Canal is indeed a big canal that gambles on the fortunes of the country;

But for the rich Han family, a canal 200 miles long, more than two zhang deep, and no more than seven zhang wide at the top is really not a 'gambling on the fortune of the country'.

For today's Han family, there is only one problem to be solved in the construction of water conservancy.

- Money and food!

With money and food, and enough people, it is enough for today's Han family to cope with most of the water conservancy projects in the feudal era.

Liu Ying also understood in her heart: When the old lady first returned to Chang'an, she called herself to Changle Palace in a hurry, and it would definitely not be for the 'small and micro project' of the canal.

At best, Lu Pheasant used 'what is the result of the inspection' as the opening statement.

Sure enough, after briefly asking about the situation of the ditch, Lu Pheasant naturally raised his head and handed the conversation to Cao Shen and Wang Ling, who were kneeling in the hall.

Seeing Cao Shen and Wang Ling looking at each other for a moment, they stood up together and bowed to Liu Yingqi with solemnity.

"Your Majesty."

"When the head of the Yuan Shuo Dynasty was discussed, the Queen Mother had already ordered: all the subordinates and divisions of the court joined forces to prepare for the crowning ceremony of His Majesty;"

"When Emperor Taizu Gao died, he said: I collapsed and the new monarch was weak, when there were old ministers to assist him, he made the ministers and the marquis of Anguo, and the marquis of Yuwen was the prince, thinking that the new monarch was only ······ arm"

With a serious expression, Wang Ling turned his head slightly, and saw that the conversation was taken over by Cao Shen.

"Your Majesty honored the Marquis of Yuwen as the Grand Master, and the whole world said: This God blesses my great man, and he has a Ming monarch and a male lord!"

"Ranchen and others all think that the way of the monarch and the minister, the difference between the upper and lower dignity, is actually an important matter related to the temple society······"

Speaking of this, Cao Shen did not forget to raise his eyelids slightly, and inquired about the changes in the expressions of Liu Ying and Lu Pheasant's mother and son.

After making sure that Liu Ying was not angry, Lu Pheasant nodded slowly to himself, and Cao Shen breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "After the death of the Marquis of Yuwen, Your Majesty can't help himself, and he will fight against public opinion and mourn the whole country, although this is a slight violation, but it is still reasonable. ”

"However, now the Taishi, the ministers and the Marquis of An Guo each have the responsibilities of prime minister and internal history, but they still hold the position of the Taifu."

As he spoke, Cao Shen turned to the side slightly and nodded at Wang Ling.

"Now, there are rumors in the market that Yanchen and Marquis An entered the palace to meet him, but His Majesty first took the disciples to worship the ministers, and then the ministers and the ministers bowed to His Majesty."

"If this goes on for a long time, the ministers will worry about the market, or even more unbelievable······"

Listening to Cao Shen's slow and methodical words, Liu Ying's expression was still the same, and he grinned slightly.

"Pingyang Hou is not long in the future, and it is rumored that he may be a little allergic······"

"Xu Zhi In the past, the Marquis of Yuwen was also slandered by others, calling him a 'rebel minister';

"The Marquis of Pingyang is the successor to the position of the Marquis of Yuwen, and the rumors in the market should also be the act of the Marquis of Yuwen······"

was so relaxed that he even had some jokes, but it made Cao Shen's face more serious, and he hurriedly straightened up and bowed his hand to Liu Ying again.

"I don't think so."

"The ministers are the marquis of Anguo, and the Taizu Gao Emperor is entrusted with the post of Taifu, but the Taizu Gao Emperor is worried that His Majesty is not crowned, and he is weak in his age."

"However, now, since His Majesty's coronation is imminent, the minister thinks that the position of the prince who is also the prince of An Guohou should be dismissed."

"If this is not the case, I am afraid that everyone in the world will think that the ministers and the Marquis of An have high merits, and control Liu Hansheji, so that the country will not be ······."

As soon as Cao Shen's voice fell, without waiting for Liu Ying to react, he knelt down again and solemnly bowed his hand.

"Minister, attach the Prime Minister's proposal."

"I beg your majesty to remove the ministers from the post of concubine after the crowning ceremony, so as not to boil over the matter and cause the country to be ······ the country."

Seeing that Wang Ling also stood up and said, 'I also think Cao Shen is right', Liu Ying already had an idea in her heart, and she didn't forget to turn her head sideways with a slight hesitation.

"So ······"

"According to the mother's wishes, ······?"
