Chapter 405: Silver for Luck

"I want to erect a monument on the dam." Li Changan said his idea,

"The custom of sacrificing to the dragon god in Osan County was changed to a sacrifice to the dam......"

Zou Boxun was a little unsure of the meaning of Li Changan's words.

Sacrificial dams, can dams be built out of thin air?

That's 30,000 taels of silver.

The annual treasury tax of the Great Jin Dynasty is only 60 million taels.

A dam costs five full years of taxes.

Who can afford it?

"Chang'an, otherwise forget it." Zou Boxun still wants to persuade Li Changan to give up,

"The most important thing at the moment is to find a way to establish the division you said, thousands of new official positions appear, and the entire Great Jin will be sideways."

"There's no need to waste time on such a thankless task."

"I even have to waste these official positions for this."

In his opinion, Li Chang'an's insistence on building a dam was unwise.

It was obviously built for the three southern provinces and the Great Jin Dynasty, but it turned out to be promoted by its own interests.

On the contrary, it will make others think that Li Changan built the dam for himself and has ulterior motives.

But Li Changan just smiled and signaled Zou Boxun to be relieved, "Don't worry, Lord Zou, I already have an idea about this matter." ”

"Do you think one hundred taels of silver is exchanged for a dam stone, is anyone willing?"

Zou Boxun blinked, and still didn't react.

But soon, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"What do you mean...... Let this dam become an existence similar to an ancestral hall? ”

Li Changan said, "Yes, donating one hundred taels of silver, you can engrave the name and surname of the donor on a dam stone." ”

"At that time, the people of the three counties will worship not only the dam every month, but also these people who have engraved their names on the dam stones."

"Over time, this is quite a bit of luck."

Zou Boxun was really eye-opening today.

Li Changan threw out two shocking ideas one after another, which were enough to shake the literary world and officialdom of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Let him want to pry Li Changan's head open to take a good look at what is inside.

Even such a solution can be figured out.

They engraved their names on the damming stones and were sacrificed to the people.

This kind of thing that can be tied to the cultivation of Wendao can be solved with only one hundred taels of silver, and everyone wants to get involved.

If you don't think you get too little luck, you can spend more silver.

One piece is not enough, then ten.

There are not a few people in this world who have silver.

Even some families will inevitably take over a large area of damming stones for the sake of these long-term stable luck.

Zou Boxun's heart was swaying and excited, and he said, "If this is really the case, not only 30,000 taels, but even 60,000 taels, you can donate it." ”

Li Changan said with a smile, "With the trick of donating silver for luck, there must not be so much resistance to the construction of the dam." ”

"When the time comes, please ask you to pacify the envoys to promote it in the court, and this matter should be done nine times out of ten."

"As for the interior of our Southern Patrol Town Governor's Division, we can completely release a few more places, everyone has been working hard for so long, and it is also appropriate to get more benefits than outsiders."

Zou Boxun nodded, "If this matter is really handled like this, the resistance can be much smaller, and the only thing to worry about is whether the queen can support it." ”

"But if what you say about the official position is true, it may be successful."

"Then please leave it to Lord Zou." Li Changan hugged his fist at Zou Boxun, and then cut off the link.

Zou Boxun soon went to work on these things.

The result was faster than Li Changan expected.

Zou Boxun replied the next day.

At that time, Li Changan was entering Wushan County with Zeng Shicai to prepare for water control.

"Lord Zou." Li Changan motioned for Zeng Shicai to go first, took out the thousand-mile transmission note, and walked to the edge of the cliff.

The water below was still turbulent and muddy, like a giant python, rolling its body and crashing against the cliffs.

But it was no longer as ferocious as it had been a few days ago, and it gradually calmed down and was no longer irritable.

The flooded land is also gradually revealed.

Now the people of the three counties are reorganizing their fields under the guidance of the envoys of the Southern Patrol Town.

After the return of the county magistrate of the three counties, the problem of the people's hostility to the imperial court was well solved.

Under their push, the Southern Patrol Town Governor Division made rapid progress.

"Things are going well." Zou Boxun said, "Each person was given three official positions. ”

"Of the other six Shangshu, each of them has also divided into five."

"Basically, there won't be any big moths in the court."

When Li Changan heard this, he couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth.

This set of exchange interests is very useful wherever it is.

"There's no confirmation of this yet." Li Changan had to pour cold water on Zou Boxun and said,

"And even if an official position is given, it is a local official position, otherwise the traces are too obvious, and no one will be happy."

"After all, we have to do things, and we have to have some down-to-earth people to hold important official positions."

Zou Boxun smiled, "Don't worry, I have said all this in advance." ”

"This division is established under the household department, which is closely related to the luck of the household department, and the official positions placed are also scattered in various prefectures and counties, which will not affect the overall situation."

Li Changan had to admire Zou Boxun's efficiency and ability.

It is worthy of being a person who can stand in the position of the left waiter of the household.

"When will the imperial court give an answer to the matter of the dam?" Li Changan asked.

There will be no problems with the supply and marketing department, and it is easy to arrange people to go in by yourself.

Thousands of official positions are all over the Great Jin, and you can take this opportunity to spread the Han throughout the country.

This is the meat that was supposed to be taken out and shared, and so many court officials were involved, which would only make the supply and marketing department more stable.

He was worried about the huge dam that was going to be built.

This is an important key to whether the three southern provinces can adjust the wind and rain.

It is a matter of great urgency for the people.

But for the officials, for the imperial court, it is likely to be blamed, and even lead to premature death.

Zou Boxun pondered for a moment and said, "It is estimated that there will be a reply to this matter within five days, and some preparations will be made in the early stage." ”

"After all, to promote a giant fortification of 30,000 taels, this is a unique event in Dajin."

"You need to calculate the totals carefully, and there are a lot of joints that need to be paid attention to."

"But now it's time to start preparing for the dam."

"In the end, the court will inevitably agree."

When Li Changan heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and the confidence in Zou Boxun's tone was quite sufficient, which shocked him.

It can be solved in five days.

wants to secretly influence the court and promote such a big thing, it seems that this Lord Zou's energy is even more amazing than he imagined.

Zou Boxun smiled, "Thanks to you for coming up with a way to donate silver to engrave your name, otherwise even if the six Shangshu Lords would not be able to do this with all their lives." ”

"The key is to solve the big problem of 30,000 taels of silver, and those court officials are happy to push the boat down the river to promote this matter."

Li Changan nodded, and then said with a smile, "Lord Zou is so dedicated, it really makes Chang'an feel deeply ashamed. ”

"It's all for the sake of Southern Baixin, dare to do your best?" Zou Boxun said with a smile, "The rest is left to Chang'an." ”

"Especially the matter of official position is the key."

Zou Boxun reminded again and again.

For them, it doesn't matter if they build the dam or not.

The key is that they can get the blessing of luck from it, and the official position given by Li Changan, which is what makes them determined to promote this matter.

If the official position goes wrong, not only Li Changan, but even Zou Boxun himself will suffer the anger of a group of court officials, and he will not be able to eat and walk around.
