Chapter 254: A Magnificent Project

The civil officials of Daqi were too irritable, and even Jia Hui, a military general, felt that he was really a kind person

It's just that no matter how short the temper is, it can't make up for the physical gap.

The weak civil officials were not the opponents of Wan Chengxun who took off his obstructive robes at all, and I saw Wan Chengxun with his upper body bare, bulging as if he was about to burst out of his muscles, and he threw the civil officials to the side as if he was grabbing a chicken

It was also thanks to the Han generals who surrounded and caught the civilian officials, otherwise, with the weak physique of this group of old men, I am afraid that they would be killed by Wan Chengxun or would be killed by them.

Gradually, the civil officials who were the first to leave the class were about to be cut off by Wan Chengxun, and they withdrew from the battle, and the generals who had been surrounding and eager to try, looking anxious, but actually did not work hard to watch the play, were also crowded by the civil officials who were behind them to Wan Chengxun's side.

So the generals also began to be beaten by Wan Chengxun.

Once again, he slapped the unknown official who was thrown to him by Wan Chengxun, and Jia Hui's anger also came up.

"Enough! That's enough! Niu Zhao Liuyun, hold him! "Jia Hui is drinking!

Niu Zhao and Liu Yun, who got the order, no longer continued to watch the play, and hurriedly got up to get rid of the officials who were in the way, and kicked towards Wan Chengxun with a flying kick.

With the intervention of the powerful generals of the imperial court, Wan Chengxun, a guy who completely relied on his rough skin and thick flesh, was quickly defeated and was pressed to the ground by Niu Zhao and Liu Yun

"Alas, it's a spoiler." Seeing that the following picks were over, the emperor, who had not seen it yet, muttered in disappointment.

"Huh? What did you say, sir? Xia Shouzhong, who was also fascinated by the fight, seemed to have heard what the emperor said, and hurriedly turned his head and asked.

"What did you say?" The emperor looked at Xia Shouzhong with a puzzled expression, as if he really hadn't said anything just now.

Xia Shouzhong, who has been with the emperor for decades, saw this, how could he not know that the emperor should have said something that should not be said, but since the emperor is pretending to be stupid, what can he do as a slave?

"Maybe the old slave heard it wrong," Xia Shouzhong immediately ended the conversation.

"Qi Shengshang, Wailang Wan Chengxun, a member of the Water Department of the Ministry of Works, and the Imperial History of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court have lost their manners in front of the Imperial History Palace, and I hope that the Holy Lord will punish them!" Seeing that everyone's two protagonists were captured this time, Jia Hui nodded and asked Dan Majesty loudly.

"Hmm" Although the acting skills are not good, but pretending to be deep is an instinct that you don't need to learn, the emperor thought about it for a while, and decided to protect Wan Chengxun.

"Remembering that Wan Qing is a first-time offender and a passive defense, he will be exempted from half a year's imprisonment and a small punishment and a big commandment!" The emperor defined the responsibility of Wan Chengxun.

Tsk, Wan Qing, this Wan Chengxun is really Jane in the emperor's heart!

The civil and military officials pouted, and the emperor only used the title of "qing" for a few courtiers who recognized him very much, and all of them were only "ministers" rather than "ministers".

"As for Zeng Yushi" The emperor turned his head and looked at Zeng Yushi, who was also being escorted, and couldn't help but be stunned.

My whole face is swollen!

I thought of punishing this ignorant and uninteresting Yushi who beat his henchman, but I saw that this Zeng Yushi had been beaten so badly by his henchmen

"The same penalty is not half a year, seven months, come on, quickly carry Zeng Yushi to treat the injury first!" The emperor finally relented, and punished Zeng Yushi more severely to show that he was right or wrong this time.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Those who could still move saluted the emperor at the same time

。。。。。。

The conference has just begun, and it has already been reduced by more than half, if it takes a longer time, I am afraid that the Taiwei will die in the melee of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces.

Therefore, the emperor immediately decided to retreat from the court, and instead brought the people who could manage things in the temple to the emperor's daily office, and opened the Dongshang Pavilion on the east side of the imperial palace to continue the negotiation.

"Does this river have to be repaired?" Tobe Shangshu Xia Tong asked with a worried face.

Because the political situation has been very stable over the years, or it is very stable for officials at the level of Jiuqing, six years have passed, in addition to entering the cabinet, the Shangshu of the household department is still Xia Tong, but his half-white hair has become completely white.

And for the household, if you really want to repair the river, you have to come up with at least 50 million taels of silver!

It's simply the life of all their colleagues in the household!

"Back to Xia Shangshu, you have to cultivate!" Wan Chengxun, whose mouth was blue, said categorically.

Since the early and middle of the former Liang, the Liang people went south to prevent the Mongol and Jurchen coalition forces from flowing eastward in northern Henan, and the Yellow River has flowed south to seize the Huai into the sea for nearly 300 years.

And during this period, there was no fixed branch in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and after the former Liang spent a lot of money but basically did not improve the treatment, the Liang people gave up repairing the river, and only tinkered with the embankment like a pastemaker.

So for the next 200 years, most of the time was a permissive flow and branch turbulence. Since the end of the cool, it has been so serious that it overflows once in a year or two!

The first thirty or forty years were flooded, with the Daqing River in the south and the Si and Huai branches in the north into the sea. Since then, the north branch has been cut off, and the river has moved southward, roughly from northern Henan, southwestern Shandong, and northern Jiangsu, and it has become a laissez-faire state after about 40 years.

In the chaotic era at the end of the Liang Dynasty, in the second year of the Lord, Qi attacked Henan, when the clan general Chao Yong who stayed in Luoyang decided to flood the Jindian embankment in the north of Henan, the Yellow River changed to flow south to Qixian County and the three branches entered the Huai, and the main stream went to the vortex river, so that it flowed for more than 60 years, and the river gradually moved northward.

In the early sixty or seventy years of Emperor Taizu's reign, the course of the river was roughly taken from eastern Henan to northern Jiangsu, and the course of the Yellow River became more and more chaotic after that.

(The direction of the lower reaches of the Yellow River at the same time in the article is too chaotic.) οΌ‰

The most coincidental thing is that the flooding area of the Yellow River is where the two basic disks of Daqi - Shandong and Jianghuai are located!

"In the past, we had no money, so we had to continue the Qianliang policy and only tinker with the Yellow River embankment. The villagers also understood the difficulties of the dynasty, so they gritted their teeth and survived! Facing his own administrative team in front of him, the emperor became rare and serious.

"But now that the treasury is abundant and the political situation is stable, the whole world knows that there are hundreds of millions of taels of silver in the treasury of the dynasty.

Is it possible to wait until the Yellow River is completely eroded? The treasury is so poor that it will be repaired when the rats are starving to death? Or wait until even the old folks I am waiting for are revealed?! ”

Syllable!

The emperor suddenly slapped the armrest and stood up from the dragon chair, exuding the majesty that belonged to Emperor Qi alone!

"This river must be repaired! Even if you lose the grassland, the plateau, the desert and even Liaodong, as long as Daqi still retains the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Han land, then you must grit your teeth and repair the river! The emperor seemed to be ruthless, and his eyes looked around the group of three princes and nine qings, civil ministers and military generals standing at the apex of the court in front of him, and shouted categorically!

"Obey the Divine Commandment!"

The three dukes bowed their heads, Jiuqing bowed their heads, and the generals beat their chests and shouted!

。。。。。。

The opinions of the bigwigs representing the interests of all parties at the top have reached a consensus, so it will be useless for the people at the bottom to oppose it.

This is a national policy!

Wan Chengxun was also appointed as the minister of the Qincha, the rank of squire of the processing department, and the governor of the Yellow River.

If it weren't for the fact that his qualifications were too shallow and were blocked by the vast majority of officials in the imperial court, otherwise the emperor would have given him the title of Shangshu of the Processing Department!

In this regard, Wan Chengxun doesn't care, his family's hundreds of years of persistence can be realized, which is what Wan Chengxun wants most.

With the envoy of the Emperor of Qi being transmitted to all ministries and in all directions, the war machine of classical militarism of Great Qi was launched for the first time because of a huge century-old project!

More than eight "Tiansheng Five-Year Northern Expedition" personnel and materials of the magnitude were mobilized

A large amount of rice and grain was transported from Huguang to the waterway of thousands of miles in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, where it was guarded by the Shangzhi army and embroidered clothes. A large number of conscripts were drafted, the guards along the way were mobilized, and more than a million people rushed towards the great river that had become a stepmother!

Such a huge project, even if you just hear the name, hear the personnel, materials, money and food that come out can make people's blood boil, I can't wait to jump into the old road of the Yellow River today, and tomorrow I can clean up the river and lead the great river back to the north!

Moreover, although this project is called forced labor, tens of millions of taels of silver in the early stage have been spent, which is not worse than their wages that add up to only a few million taels

Of course, a few families are happy and a few are sad, and while the rest of the departments are eager to do things and want to go down in history, the whole household seems to have died at the same time, and the morale is low

Departments up and down the country are coming in, and their households are bleeding like crazy as if they have been cut in the arteries!

In this regard, there is nothing that the household department can do, but the incense of the god of wealth in the back hall of the household department is becoming more and more vigorous.

"It's just. Will this delay the agricultural time? ”

In the cabinet of Ziwei City, Xia Tong, a civil official on duty today, and Jia Hui, a military attachΓ©, sat opposite each other, playing chess and tasting tea.

Although this is the headquarters of the Cabinet, in fact, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies sends a Metropolitan Governor to sit with them every day to provide timely military advice to the emperor.

Lu Guan, the governor of the rear army, who had collapsed before, sat here for Jia Hui and Yun Yu. If nothing else, just do something for something, anyway, he doesn't need to move, he doesn't even need to use his brain, just use the old soldiers at home to pull him over in a carriage, and then carry him into the cabinet by a small sedan chair, and he can watch a few people in the cabinet busy like dogs with a comfortable face

It wasn't until the middle of last year that Lu Guan's dark illness broke out and his body and bones completely collapsed, and this time he couldn't even get out of his home, so Jia Hui and Yun Yu personally came to the cabinet to take turns on duty.

"The impact is definitely there, but it's not as big as you always think." Jia Hui looked at the chessboard with a calm face, and fell.

With a click, black fell into the encirclement of white and seemed to be in danger

"What do you mean by that?" Xia Tong also discovered Jia Hui's movements, but he didn't pay much attention to it, so Luozi began to intercept Jia Hui's landing just now.

"The people who are conscripted this time," Jia Hui took a sip of tea, "Most of the targets this time are people between the ages of eighteen and forty, and they work quickly and quickly, and they may be able to finish the first phase of the project before the farm is busy."

"Under the small-scale peasant economy, it is impossible for a man to serve several acres of land on his own strength to feed several members of the family, which is related to the livelihood of the family, and the wife and daughter also have to work in the field."

Therefore, it is not a joke that men are cattle and women are men, but a real fact.

"Moreover, several batches of ploughing cattle have been slaughtered from the grasslands and cultivated in the nine sides, and the price of ploughing cattle in the north has plummeted. It is difficult for every family to have a strong head, but each village has basically raised funds to buy three or four cows to share. ”

Seeing Xia Tong's fall, Jia Hui also quickly settled according to the plan.

"Yes, yes, how did the old man forget about this!" Xia Tong breathed a sigh of relief, in recent years, his brain has become more and more inflexible, and he even forgot about cultivating cattle!

Since Daqi actually controlled the grassland as the Heavenly Khan, a large amount of materials poured into the grassland to purchase cattle and sheep.

Due to the relationship between supply and demand, herders have gradually reduced the number of horses they raise, and instead raised a large number of cattle and sheep.

To be reasonable, to be able to earn money for supplies calmly and with peace of mind, who the wants to go south to rob with his head on his trouser belt? There are many people who rob for the first time to grab an iron pot kitchen knife?

Daqi and Mengwu have been fighting for nearly a hundred years, they know each other's roots, and they don't hesitate to pick up a knife, that is really a dead person!

No matter what nationality, the vast majority of them are daily people!

In this way, the business between the grassland and the Han land was done, and the grassland gradually stabilized

At least in the last few decades, Jia Hui will be stable like this.

The herdsmen would sell the calves raised to half the size to the General Military Office of the Nine Sides, and then the General Military Office would distribute them to various tuntian guards for the cultivation of cattle, and after the cultivation was completed, they would take the cattle south and sell them to various places in the north.

It's not that they are not sold to the south, but that the cattle in the north will not be sold to the south, and the paddy fields are not as good as the local buffaloes in the south. So this can be regarded as a kind of invisible benefit that Daqi gives to the people in the north.

"Since there are these ploughing cattle, even if there is one less strong laborer in the family, there are also common ploughing cattle in the village, and the Holy Lord has ordered the yamen in various places to send officials and local garrisons to inspect the villages from time to time, preach the imperial court policy, and at the same time put pressure on the village and town families, so that they have scruples and will not be overpressed because of the matter of ploughing cattle."

For these local clan forces, the imperial court is really powerless.

No way, these are one of the taproots of the feudal dynasty, even Daqi is not Taizu with his own clansmen and foreign families, and Xungui is like the Jia family with his own clansmen?

It's okay to dispose of a single clan, but once you want to move the clan as a whole.

Daqi exploded in an instant!

Unless you bring some army of orphans to fight the world again, you can't save it!

Xia Tong gradually figured out these things, and dropped a son on the chessboard again, breathed a sigh of relief, stroked his beard and said: "Since this is the case, then the old man will let it go for the time being."

Smack!

A sunspot was dropped on the chessboard by Jia Hui, and the dragon composed of white children was instantly stopped and killed!

"Hehe, Xia Ge Lao, concede!" Jia Hui looked at Xia Tong, who was gradually carrying and wanted to regret the chess, and grinned triumphantly.
