Married to an old emperor Section 168

If it can be directly combined with Caoyun, then the control over Yanping will be deeper, whether it is trade or grain transportation, it will also be more convenient, and it can also give many people something to do.

Needless to say, the imperial court said that a big project meant a lot of oil and water, and everyone from top to bottom had something to eat, and where the benefits were, the people were there, and she had to arrange a job for her own people, and let the people who wanted to eat this bowl of rice get on her own boat.

And for the low-level workers, it can be regarded as a way out.

She has been compiling the proletarian population, because she has been reducing taxes and taxes for the proletarians, giving them all kinds of preferential treatments, and more and more people who have become black households in order to evade taxes are willing to re-register, and the number of people is getting bigger and bigger.

However, we have to consider a very practical problem, that is, if there are many people, there will certainly be a lot of labor force that cannot be arranged, and if there is too much labor force, the law on the protection of hired farmers will be useless.

In this case, setting up a large project that requires millions of laborers and enforcing the minimum standards of the law on the protection of hired peasants will give proletarian workers a sense of "if you don't carry it out, then I will simply build a canal for the imperial court".

As for those who really can't find a job, they can only really build canals.

Although building the canal is tiring, and the money for the food and workers is also a way out, no one wants to become a black household in order to evade taxes, so this recruitment of migrant workers has an additional benefit, that is, to wipe out all the original black households.

And the black households have evolved into bandits and bandits, and they have recruited troops on a large scale, and there are so many redundant troops in Daqi, it is a pity that they are not used to build canals.

If she is too greedy and causes the dissatisfaction of the soldiers below, she will kill a few people who eat empty salaries and replace them with her own people, and there are a lot of people who want to get to the top in her hands.

Such a large plate can feed countless people, provide employment opportunities for countless people, and even after the canal is built, it can continue to repair something else.

The huge amount of money will be raised by the treasury bonds, and interest is not a problem; the canals will be built, the population will be straightened out, and the new laws will be anchored, and the benefits will inevitably be endless.

Since the abolition of the dedication, there have been more and more voices in the court against her, and this time there have been even more voices about the construction of the canal and the loss of money for the people.

But those who shouted happily were not able to eat, and those who could eat were shut up and did not speak.

Although the members of the household department are also members of the official ranks, and they are eager to help the officials speak collectively, they are the ones who can make the surplus of the state treasury from their own work, and they will not say a word until they are transferred to other posts.

In this way, some people opened their mouths and some people closed their mouths, and they could not stop the attack on Hongrui, so the attack on Hongrui announced its financial report, and at the same time, on the matter of building the canal, it once again issued large-scale treasury bonds to the people.

The announcement of the financial report of the imperial court really shocked the people, and for the first time they knew how much money the treasury earned.

In the section of collecting national bonds, the imperial court also detailed how much benefit the canal will bring every year, and the treasury income will be better and better in the future.

When the first time the treasury bonds were issued, there were still many people who were worried, but after the repayment of the red rui on schedule, many people began to regret not catching up with the first wave of dividends.

Now there is not only the emperor's private treasury and financial guarantee, but also the good reputation of the red rui, and more and more people are tempted for a while.

At any given time, whoever has the money has the right to do it, and such a big plate has attracted more and more people to get closer.

As for the people who can't touch the plates, where do they go?

In order to make Lin Yuanyuan, when the old emperor was seriously ill, he allowed nine sons to enter the court to participate in politics, and the old emperor was cured and did not deliberately withdraw this power, except for the prince of Guangwang.

Xiao Nanshan and Lin Zhuoyuan, the two "sons of official selection," have been completely abolished, and those who can't wear the same pants as her will naturally run to the sect, because after all, the only force that can be expected to overthrow her now is the clan.

On the one hand, offending people, the relationship between her and the clan was already very delicate, and if she threw the clan around like a rag, she would definitely force them to unite and deal with her together.

On the other hand, it is better to be sparse, rather than riveting to prevent the clan from getting involved in politics, so that they and the courtiers have a mysterious self-confidence and magic filter, it is better to put them on the table.

As a matter of fact, there are so many people who can get involved in politics without obstacles, and there are only two people who call for wind and rain, Xiao Nanshan and Lin Youyuan, and it can be seen that not everyone has this kind of thing, and they don't know what kind of waste they are if they do more and make more mistakes, less and less wrong, and if they don't do well, and don't give them a chance to show themselves, they don't know what kind of waste they are.

But in this way, the male protagonist also got a chance.,As the highest configuration of the whole book.,He's not a waste.,Maybe he's going to make something.。

But to tell the truth, it is better for him to really stand on the stage than to hide in the gutter and poke and poke and poke things in secret.

After hiding in the dark for so long, it's time to come out and bask in the sun.

Chapter 123: Gains and Losses

Because of the issue of building the canal, the Ministry of Household Affairs was busy, and it was soon the turn of the Ministry of Industry.

Building a canal is not a trivial matter, especially the newly opened river channel from scratch, there are too many things involved along the line, taking advantage of the cold weather, many rivers are cut off, it is the best time to survey the topography of the river valley and formulate a route.

The mascot brother of Xi Hongrui finally quit, and the "three-in-one Cao" situation of the Ministry of Industry no longer exists, and the two deputy Cao Guang took the position.

Xi Hongrui looked at the two Cao officials and admonished: "This time the canal is dug and Yanping is connected, and the merit is in the world and the benefits are in the future, and it is the time for your Ministry of Industry to show its skills and go down in history." ”

"At this moment, there is no need to be too rigid in employing people, summoning talented people from all over the world, regardless of their background, regardless of their origins, as long as they are really talented, they will be specially called into the Ministry of Industry and reused."

"I don't feel at ease when this matter is handed over to others, but I can only rest assured when I hand it over to the two of you, and don't let me down."

The two people who had been studying with my uncle for many years and were unusually good at the Tao were immediately grateful and thanked the mother for her trust.

In the past, because of the flattery of their relatives, in private, the two of them were ridiculed by their colleagues, although the authority in their hands was real, they were really unhappy.

Now that the mother is completely developed, who doesn't flatter her relatives, everyone is the same, and no one laughs at anyone.

On the contrary, they worked when the queen was a little girl, can that be called flattery, that is called political vision!

It is indeed very tricky to open a canal, but when it is done, it is an unimaginably great feat.

With this political achievement, not only has the resume been raised to a higher level, but the canal is a matter that benefits all the people, and the people who are in charge of the construction can even stand on the monument to enjoy the sacrifice, who doesn't want such a name for the ages!

Of course, the most important thing is that she is rich!

The canal, a great project that costs people and money, has a good reputation through the ages, but if it is not repaired through the ages, nothing can be repaired without money, but in this case, Niangniang only needs to come up with a plan, and they don't have to think about how to do it with the least amount of money, which is simply too comfortable.

However, although Xi Hongrui is rich, she is not wronged, and it is definitely inevitable that someone will scrape the oil and water on such a large plate, but she can't scrape the bottom of the pot.

Therefore, Xi Hongrui still published a newspaper to publicize the wages of the laborers who repaired the canal to everyone, so as to ensure that word of mouth would be passed on, and the two fools at the head of the village would know that they could not scrape this layer again, and once they did, the laborers themselves would resist.

At the beginning, Yang Hongyi proposed the Servant Rectification Law, which allowed the Servant to manage the proletarian peasants, and Xi Hongrui proposed an election to let the hired peasants elect the Servant Principal, thus achieving a relative balance.

The laborers who participated in the construction of the canal were compiled and reported by the service, and the money was handed over to the service, and in addition to the wages given to the workers, there was also a "road allowance" for transporting the people to the destination.

Grain is the foundation of the country, and farming cannot be delayed, so when recruiting migrant workers, only young and middle-aged people are recruited, and after the most arduous spring ploughing is over, you are taken to the nearest river construction site by the servants, and the rest of the farmland is completed by the old people and women who are left behind.

When it was time for the autumn harvest, they would put it back, spend the winter in their own homes, and come back the next year, and the cycle would start over and over again, and let the army do the necessary winter construction.

This process of relocation is completely in the hands of the service members, and the wages are fixed to death, but the "road compensation" can be vague a little, and the service members will "report according to the situation" when the time comes.

Anyway, when the time comes, it will be fine, how to report the road expenses, and how to go on the road, you can turn a blind eye, and if you want to fish, you can catch this part, and don't go to the place where you shouldn't fish.

In terms of the selection of materials by the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Labor also let the Ministry of Industry pick up the best, the materials are good, and the quotation is high, in order to prevent "accidents" and delay the construction period, she can also close her eyes and give more when the payment is made.

The two things she was most concerned about in building the canal were not to harm the people's livelihood and cause turmoil, and the other was not to build a tofu scum project for her, because a slightly larger flood would wash away and drag her into the project and she would not be able to get out.

She didn't mind where the extra part went, but when the materials were not right, and she was going to kill him.

This aspect of the matter can be completely handed over to Qin Xingchao.

As an outstanding graduate of the Hou Guanya, he is proficient in the "one and one methods" of official corruption, and any method is a cliché for him, sweeping the ledger, there are no secrets, only what he wants to see, and what he does not want to see, and there is nothing that he cannot see.

Therefore, even when he became prime minister, he was still most often connected with the household department, and his painting style was obviously different from that of previous prime ministers.

When the other prime ministers saw each other, they were all "teachers" and "gracious ministers", and they were so happy that no matter what the relationship was, they could eventually evolve into a story of a big black bear and a group of trembling chicks.

In this regard, Xi Hongrui also wanted to be upset for Qin Xingchao, did he do anything, he didn't do anything, didn't he just look like a big black bear.

In fact, if you peel back his shell, he is really a man of letters, and it is no problem for him to supervise the quality and progress of the project.

The beads on the abacus are in place one by one.

The construction of the canal was not only a great achievement, but also the first time that the newly ascended empress unleashed her strength in a major project.

Xi Hongrui is still very good to her own people, with fame, power, and profit, and generally speaking, it is very difficult for someone to refuse.

However, there are no absolutes, and as long as the interests are different, there will always be people who will stay in the opposite direction.

If the official has a rank for his own profit, the kind of scraping project money like the one that Xi Hongrui is worried about is the lowest one.

Eating too ugly, even if you get a temporary profit, but you also give the knife to the top, maybe one day, the knife will fall, and everything will be empty.

Such a person can only be a vicious dog that gathers around his master, hunting for his master, and if the master likes it, he can have meat to eat, and if the master does not like it, he can also slaughter and eat meat.

It's too low-level to even maintain a human form, what does a real top-tier hunter look like?

He can be upright, with a breeze on his sleeves, fluttering in and out, and his honor and disgrace seem to be out of the way.

They are not happy when they are favored by the emperor, and they are not afraid when they are disgusted by the emperor, even if they are broken off the tip, they still have roots.

Like the kind of expropriation and extortion, which made the people in the area under their jurisdiction miserable, and was finally slaughtered by the people in rebellion, it was the dog that was served to eat for the first time.

In order to prevent the formation of parties and personal gains, the officials of Daqi were not allowed to take up posts in their native places, so the dog who came to the table for the first time had nothing but a mouthful of fangs, and could only show such a eating appearance.

And the real "family" and "scholarly family" no longer need this way of eating, they grow quietly in their hometown, like a big tree, firmly rooted themselves into the land, and then with the branches and leaves of other big trees, growing more and more elegant and beautiful.

Therefore, it is not painful for those dogs who are serving the table for the first time, because their barren minds cannot imagine how the real top celebrities live.

For those dogs who have just been put on the table and are eager for success and profit, what is the big deal about collecting a few acres of land less, not to mention just paying some taxes, and not completely allowing land, what's the big deal, they scrape more oil and water from the project~

However, for the real "gentry family," it is a "knife cut to the bone," and this is not a matter of paying taxes on a few acres of land, but breaking up their roots.

Originally, they could have grasped the surrounding forces like the roots of a tree grasping the dirt, but now the soil is about to disperse automatically, and it is absorbed next to a bigger and bigger tree, and that bigger tree is called National Power.

Since ancient times, the lower classes of the people have only felt terror and no trust in the lofty court, and more and more people are willing to throw themselves into the shade of their trees.

Since the ascension to the throne, this impression has actually been dispelled, and the lower-class people have become more and more trusting of the imperial court, and they have thrown themselves into the trajectory of the weaving of the red stamen.

The largest and largest tree, with an unstoppable momentum, plunged into the ground floor, competing with them for sustenance, and the urgent letters from their hometown made them feel for the first time the risk of cracking their roots.

However, this big tree in the name of the country is so righteous that even if it is pierced through the heart by its spreading roots, it can only struggle powerlessly, and cannot resist.

I am afraid that no one can accept what it is like to watch yourself die gradually, so these top leaves, which have been pierced through their roots, also began to shake their branches.

The attack on Hongrui, which initiated all this, is already carrying the momentum of the world, and it is unstoppable.

But the source of this water is still so fragile, a woman, a queen mother who has not yet become a queen mother, and an unstable imperial power.

Every time the river diverted, new puddles gathered, and the newly condensed river began to find a new owner.

Not long after the wedding of King Bin, someone found him with a smile: The little girl has admired His Royal Highness for a long time, and she does not want to be His Highness's concubine, but only wants to be a concubine and a maidservant, serving by His Royal Highness's side, I don't know what His Highness wants?

Prince Bin: Huh?

Just as the formerly inconspicuous daughter of the raider family has become sought-after, several sons have suddenly become sought-after.

In the past, only the prince of the Light King was sought after, but now everyone feels this enthusiasm equally.

Looking at this situation, the Binwang Mansion, which had never been so "rich," could not help but waver.

At the beginning, they quickly cut through the chaos, and in the chaos, they did not hesitate to board the big ship of attacking Hongrui, and with this shareholder wind, they instantly took off.

However, after the uprising, it was inevitable that some other thoughts arose.

The old emperor is already like this, who knows that it can last for a few years, and it is too much for Xi Hongrui to want to set up a baby who is still breastfeeding.

And who said that their family relied on attacking Hongrui to rise to power, no matter what, their family is the real dragon son and phoenix grandson, the imperial power is orthodox, and the attack Hongrui is at best a housekeeper, and wants to climb on their heads?

Of course, what is more troublesome is that there is more than one dragon son and phoenix grandson like them, and in order to stand out from the other dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren, Xi Hongrui cannot be offended.
