"Your Majesty, it's not a matter of money, it's that this matter is not necessary at all."

A courtier said, "Since ancient times, who would have spent money on this?" This will only bring some unnecessary burdens to the Great Sui. ”

In this regard, the head of the household department also spoke out: "Your Majesty, the treasury finally has some silver, let's save some flowers, besides, after a while, I will have to pay the people a loan fee......

"The minister knows that each of you thinks that this matter is not worth it, and it is only bad for the Great Sui."

But Yang Guang was still stubborn, and said without doubt: "Then I want to tell you that your ideas are wrong!" ”

"Build a road, this will be the hundred-year plan of the Great Sui, maybe you can't appreciate my good intentions now, but it doesn't matter, let's speak with facts."

"A hundred-year plan? How did road construction become a century-old plan? Seeing that Yang Guangyue was more and more outrageous, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads secretly.

"Your Majesty has indeed done many unexpected things in the past, and it turns out that these things will ultimately bring great benefits to the Great Sui. However, no one is perfect, and there will come a time when mistakes will be made, and if Your Majesty makes a big mistake in the matter of building roads, the loss of the treasury will be too great. ”

Another group of courtiers came out to admonish.

"Plant your sister's heels!" Yang Guang was angry when he heard this, if he wanted to say that he would be planted in other things, then there was still a little possibility, but the road could be repaired, this is a real big project for the benefit of the country and the people, once implemented, it is destined to be a bumper harvest, in addition, it is difficult for Yang Guang to come up with a second ending.

But looking at the attitudes of the ministers, it seems that it is difficult to find one who can empathize with him.

Including Lai Hu'er, Li Wei and others, they were silent, and they obviously lacked confidence in their hearts about this matter, just like other courtiers.

Looking at Wagangzhai again, such as Shan Xiongxin, such as Xu Maogong and others, they seem to have a lot to say, but Wagangzhai has just come to Dasui, and they are very low-key in doing things for people, and they don't want to be in the limelight at this juncture.

Yang Guang didn't let them go, his eyes quickly fell on Xu Maogong, and said, "Xu Maogong, you come out and say, should this road be repaired?" ”

"The minister thinks...... It's time to fix! ”

Xu Maogong secretly struggled for a moment, then made up his mind and said in a deep voice.

"Reason!"

Yang Guang's eyes lit up, and he looked at him with great anticipation.

At this moment, not only Yang Guang, but also other civil and military officials were also staring at Xu Maogong, and their faces were very ugly, after all, Xu Maogong was now in opposition to them, and some people who didn't have a good impression of Xu Maogong were even more disgusted with their faces.

Xu Maogong felt a different emotion, and only felt that the pressure he was under was faintly heavy, but he didn't dare to continue because of this, and soon fell into the memories of the past.

"At that time, we led the army to attack Luoyang, which should have been a must-win battle for Wagangzhai, but no one expected that the weather would be bad to that extent, not to mention the snowfall, and the heavy rain every day made the ground muddy."

"Even those of us on war horses can't move an inch on the battlefield, let alone those ordinary soldiers. Later, because the transfer speed was too slow, we were surrounded by Wang Shichong in advance by arranging heavy troops, and finally after a battle of trapped beasts, we were defeated by Wang Shichong. ”

Xu Maogong took a deep breath, hugged his fists and said: "Later, I deduced that battle countless times, thinking that if the road conditions at that time were slightly better, the final outcome could be rewritten by us. ”

"Since then, the minister has realized the importance of road conditions, so His Majesty wants to build a road between Jiangdu and Jiangnan, and the minister feels that there is a lot to be done, and in case of war in the future, whether we support or kill the enemy, we can gain a natural advantage."

"Moreover, if the road is good, there will be more and more people shuttling back and forth between the two places, which is like building a bridge between Jiangdu and Jiangnan, for the common people, for the merchants, for the army, for the entire Great Sui, there will be unimaginable benefits!"

"Bang Bang!"

Almost at the same time as Xu Maogong's voice fell, Yang Guang's applause, like a drum, sounded in the hall.

Yang Guangna's eyes were full of amazement when he looked at Xu Maogong.

is worthy of being a military advisor who was raised by himself, this Xu Maogong's IQ is really online! The truth in his mouth coincided with his own, and after his explanation, a very complicated matter suddenly became easy to understand.

At this moment, the civil and military officials who were watching the field all restrained their disgust and dislike for Xu Maogong, and instead fell into contemplation.

"Your Majesty, what the minister just said is just the minister's personal foolish opinion, if Your Majesty wants to think it's right, you can refer to it, if you think it's wrong, just treat it as the wind in your ears, just go in the left ear and out the right ear." Xu Maogong's words were very low-key.

Yang Guang grinned: "How can such golden words be the wind in the ears?" Xu Maogong, I didn't misunderstand you, in this big court, I finally found a person who understands. ”

"Now you know why I'm building roads, right?"

The last sentence was undoubtedly said to the ministers.

"If you want to get rich, you must build roads first, and if you want to be strong, you must build roads first! This is just like I ordered to attack Jiangnan, all for the sake of the Great Sui. ”

Seeing that the ministers were silent, still reminiscing about Xu Maogong's words, Yang Guang then began to talk: "Besides, how can building roads be a waste of silver?" The road is repaired and can be used for years, hundreds of years, which is a one-time investment, and there is no worry for life. ”

"Moreover, I will tell you that I will not only build roads now, but I will continue to build roads in the future, and every time I reclaim a piece of lost land, I will build roads in the local area. When the Great Sui truly dominates the world, the roads across the country will be completely connected, and the people in all regions will be truly connected, and at that time, the country can be regarded as a real country! ”

The more Yang Guang spoke, the more passionate he became.

In the end, his face turned faintly red.

"So, you say, should I spend my money on the road?"

I thought that after he said so much impassionedly, no one should have jumped out to oppose it without a long eye, but unexpectedly, Xue Yan became a thorn in the head, and came out and questioned: "Your Majesty, according to what you said, road construction does have certain benefits for all parties. But have you thought about it, Your Majesty, what if this repaired road is used by the enemy? ”
