Chapter 26 Clapper

After Chi Qingfeng pondered for a moment, he spoke: "The matter of building a tower can not be completed in a year and a half, it involves all aspects of the state, manpower, stones, gold and silver are indispensable, do not hide from the emperor, Leizhou has accumulated very little over the years, and the people do not save three, it is really difficult to rebuild the division and mobilize the people, and please ask the emperor to learn from it!"

Yang Xuerao replied with a smile: "Since it is my proposal, then all the expenses will be taken care of by our Yanzhou, I believe that with gold and silver, there will be no problem in terms of manpower, and it will be able to add tens of thousands of people to Leizhou at that time, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the people below were discussing, if the tower was to be built in the land of the four states at the same time, this expenditure was astronomical, if all of them had to be borne by Yanzhou, the taxes of the people would inevitably increase, otherwise the Yang family's treasury would have to be emptied. www.biquge.info Yang Zhe was obviously not very enthusiastic about this matter, he quietly observed everyone's reactions, with no expression on his face and no words.

In the face of such preferential conditions, Chi Qingfeng did not agree, but hesitated: "The emperor is indeed quite generous, Qingfeng thanked him first." However, Qing Feng really didn't dare to agree to such a major decision on behalf of the master, but after returning to Leizhou, he would immediately report to the Venerable Master, and no matter what the result was, he would report to His Majesty to know!"

Yang Xuerao nodded with satisfaction, and turned to look at Luo Chengdao: "Then the new leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, what does the abbot of Beichan Temple think?"

Luo Chengzai had been thinking about it for a long time just now, he didn't have a mess in Leizhou like Chi Qingfeng to clean up, the only thing he didn't understand was that Yang Xuerao had just ascended the throne as the emperor, and he was not stable in all aspects. Even the governor of Yanzhou will be appointed, why would she work so hard to promote this seemingly unreliable ritual of worshipping the heavens?

You must know that this is a major event that shakes the foundation of the country, according to the illustrations in ancient books. Not to mention four, even to build a nine-story tower with a radius of twenty zhang square, it takes at least 50,000 young people, and it will take several years to build, and now that the production of the fields has been reduced, if these laborers are lost again, the situation in the states will only be worse, and the matter of sacrificing to the heavens is like gambling on the size of the game. What if you buy big and open small?

Thinking of this, Luo Cheng looked up at Yang Xuerao on the Golden Palace and hesitated: "Has Your Majesty ever thought that if the sacrifice to the heavens does not work, then the disaster will be even worse due to the transfer of the people, what should I do at that time?"

Yang Xuerao said calmly: "This is the second issue I want to discuss with you. As a supplement to the labor force in the state, Yanzhou will make the army change to tuntian, so that the grain produced is almost more than that of the people, but in this way, the defense of the state will inevitably be weak. Fortunately, the Kunwu faction in Cangzhou has agreed to advance and retreat together with Yanzhou. Now wait for the attitude of the Luo Alliance Lord!"

The meaning of her words is very clear, in order to deal with the natural disaster, Cangzhou and Cangzhou have temporarily formed an alliance to advance and retreat together, and now it depends on whether Huizhou can cooperate, if Huizhou still gathers troops at the border, then this plan is impossible to implement, and Huizhou's attitude largely depends on Luo Cheng's nod, Yang Xuerao is not ambiguous at all at this point.

Thinking of Yan Qing's compassionate mind. Luo Cheng couldn't help but be moved, but he always felt that something was wrong in his heart. Hundreds of pairs of eyes in the main hall were staring at him. It was bound to be delayed, so he could only arch his hand and say: "I don't know how many towers Your Majesty needs to build in various parts of Shenzhou, and what is the scale of the towers?"

Yang Xuerao replied: "In terms of Yanzhou's financial resources, it is the limit to build three towers at the same time, but according to ancient books, it is necessary to build five towers in Shenzhou, according to the specifications, the ground floor is fifteen zhang square, and it should be completed in three to five years!"

Originally, Luo Cheng thought that there were four in total, obviously there was one more, it was estimated that this huge expenditure could not even be afforded by the Beichan Temple, although Yang Xuerao only said half of it, but the meaning of the plea was quite obvious, he said calmly: "There should be no problem with the financial resources of the Beichan Temple to fill the fees for the remaining two towers, I don't know who is responsible for supervising the construction in other states?"

Yang Xuerao said: "Of course, it is the power of the state where the tower is located, the Yang family will send craftsmen to the states with the construction drawings, only by the orders of the authorities in each state, since the Beichan Temple can participate in the grand event, I am here to thank Abbot Luo Gaoyi!"

Saying that, she raised her glass from afar, Luo Cheng also picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and said with a smile: "I hope that Your Majesty's plan can bring hope to the people, and Luo Cheng will try his best to persuade General Yan!"

"Good!"

Yang Xuerao also drank not a drop of wine, Ji Jingwen hurriedly went up the steps to add wine, and the business came to an end for the time being.

At this time, Ji Na whispered behind her: "As a result, I was still pulled onto the thief ship by that fox girl, this stinky guy is really useless!"

After Luo Cheng sat down, he could only smile bitterly, but Situ Lei, who was behind him, said: "Yang Jia Nizi is really gambling now, if this trick doesn't work, then the wave of resistance will be enough to swallow it, and she, the emperor, will also do it!"

Although this banquet was very lively, Luo Cheng had already felt the turbulence, he nodded helplessly, looked down at the wine in the cup, the wine was a little turbid, but he could still reflect his appearance, but the mood of this drinking was undoubtedly heavy, after many wars, everything should have calmed down, but he never expected that the land of Shenzhou was really full of disasters and difficulties, and the people's lives did not know what twists and turns they would experience......

The banquet lasted until nearly the time was over, and when the emperor left first, everyone dispersed, Luo Cheng saw that Yang Yixin, who was neither male nor female, also followed Yang Xuerao, he was really a little puzzled, he told Situ Lei to take everyone to the palace gate to wait for a while, Ji Na was much more well-behaved and did not get in the way, which made him a lot easier.

After Zhang Bang's communication, Luo Cheng saw Yang Xuerao in the side hall of Fengming Palace, of course, Ji Jingwen and Yang Yixin accompanied each other, Jingwen was quite polite to Luo Cheng, and the flame of hatred in Yang Yixin's eyes had not decreased, if Yang Xuerao was not there, it is estimated that this guy would have to pounce and bite.

Luo Cheng had too many questions in his heart, and he didn't know where to start, but Yang Xuerao spoke first: "Luo Cheng, you must have seen this thief Yang Yixin at the banquet, and now Xiaoxiao has died because of his suicide, and I have to punish him heavily! I have ordered him to be castrated, and I wear women's clothes every day, and worship Xiaoxiao every day to comfort her spirit in the sky!"

Luo Cheng was stunned when he heard this, he didn't think that he hadn't seen him for a few days, Xiaoxiao was still gone, Yang Yixin really deserved to die, and the Tuwu brothers who were harmed couldn't do anything, and even let a good girl Xiang Xiaoyu die, but it was really uncomfortable to look at this face that was neither male nor female, he coughed lightly and said: "Since Your Majesty has already made a punishment, why not let Yang Yixin guard the tomb of the little girl, after all, it is not a good thing to let a person with bad intentions wander in the palace!"
