Dahan first prince

Chapter 84 No one 'asked' Jin?

After the court meeting ended in the western suburbs of Chang'an City, in less than half an hour, the news that "the crown prince wants to get private slaves from the public servant's family, thinking that he will serve as a slave for the renovation of Zheng Guoqu" spread like wildfire in Chang'an City.

All of a sudden, the streets and alleys of Chang'an were mostly occupied by idlers with broad swords around their waists and cloth belts on their heads, dressed as rangers.

"Hey, let's talk."

"Gonghou noble relatives, but most of them are stingy and stingy?"

"The crown prince wants private slaves, can these people agree?"

Hearing this question, the people who stopped and watched subconsciously felt something was wrong, and wanted to refute.

But when I think about it carefully, it seems that those noble families have not helped themselves much, so they don't know where to start.

Just a moment later, I saw a few children running quickly from the other side of the street, screaming and screaming as they ran.

Seeing this, the lazy man who spoke earlier thought for a moment, reached out his hand, grabbed a baby, and asked, "What happened?"

I saw the little baby struggling with grinning teeth, finally broke free from the lazy man's 'imprisonment', and then quickly ran to the distance.

"Baiguan Gonghou and his family's strong men are going to attack Weiyang Palace~"

Hearing the 'message' from Xiaowa's mouth, the lazy man's expression froze suddenly.

After a while, he spat out again full of disdain.

"spit!"

"Yellow mouth kid, talking nonsense!"

"Weiyang Palace, that's the Queen's residence, what are the noble officials attacking Weiyang Palace?"

——If you want to fight, you should also fight Changle Palace!

Quietly swallowing the last sentence, the lazy man couldn't help but shook his head and turned around, only to see that the ten people gathered here before had all disappeared?

Looking back and looking at the road to Weiyang Palace, the lazy man realized: something really happened, the traffic on the road has increased!

"Could it be..."

Secretly suspicious, the lazy man made some calculations, then gritted his teeth, subconsciously clenched the hilt of his sword, and ran towards Weiyang Palace.

"The queen mother doesn't know!"

"Xiao Xiang made a gesture to kneel, but my son almost didn't have time to help him!"

Weiyang Palace, Xuanshi Palace.

Eagerly, she recounted today's court meeting to her mother, Lu Zhi, and a lingering fear quietly appeared on Liu Ying's face.

"If Xiao Xiang is really made to kneel down, son, today, it's really impossible to steal the chicken, and it's a loss of rice!"

As she spoke, Liu Ying patted her chest exaggeratedly, not forgetting that she seemed to be really scared.

Seeing Liu Ying's appearance, Lu Zhi, who was sitting on the soft couch, only smiled gently, and immediately fell into short thoughts.

"Paving the canal with stone bricks..."

With a slight murmur, Lu Zhi raised his head, still not changing his gentle face, and called Liu Ying to sit beside him.

"Ying'er discussed with his mother and later because of the lack of hard labor. He promised the people with money and food, and used the people as slaves."

"Why do you deny it now and change the stone bricks used to build Chang'an, so as to encourage people to come here to help repair the Zhengguo Canal?"

Hearing that Lu Zhi asked about this matter, Liu Ying's face buzzed with a little complacency.

That's right.

——Paving the canal with stones was not taught by my old lady Lu Zhi, but Liu Ying's own idea!

As for why Liu Ying wanted to "make her own claim", it wasn't all for the sake of showing off, but it was really necessary to do so.

Thinking secretly, Liu Ying couldn't help turning her head slightly, and when she looked at her mother Lu Zhi beside her, she quietly retreated with a complacent expression.

"The queen mother doesn't know something."

"Previously, my son planned to protect the Zhengguo Canal, and he only needed [-] hard labor."

"This [-] yuan can be filled with [-] yuan from the servants of the Shaofu officials."

"My son also mistakenly thought that if the meritorious princes and relatives, the courtiers and hundreds of officials sell private slaves, they can get ten thousand."

"In this way, the shortage of labor is only [-]."

"This labor is [-] yuan, Xumin is paid a hundred qian per person per day, and he can work for a hundred days at most, but it costs [-] million yuan, and half of the Shaofu's money is enough."

Having said that, Liu Ying couldn't help shaking her head slightly, and changed the subject.

"However, in today's court meeting, the Shaofu has to renovate the Zhengguo Canal, and at least [-] will be required!"

"And the labor period is at least three months, and it may be a hundred days, and it will be endless."

"The number of private slaves offered by courtiers, hundreds of officials, meritorious princes and relatives is not more than three thousand, far less than ten thousand."

"In this way, the shortage of hard labor is nearly [-]; if you make it work for a hundred days, you will need [-] million yuan."

After saying that, Liu Ying finally let out a long and bitter sigh.

"Mother, you should know that the money in the Shaofu is not enough to pay thirty million..."

"Even if the father is not here, the Shaofu might not dare to obey the order of the son?"

Hearing Liu Ying's words, Lu Zhi couldn't help thinking for a while, and finally nodded with a sad face.

"Yes······"

"The treasury is empty, and there is no money in the house..."

Talking to himself, Lu Zhi smiled at Liu Ying again.

"That's fine too."

"The person who promises money and food to make the people come is the one who seeks profit; the one who comes is the loyal minister of the Han Dynasty."

Seeing Lu Zhi smiling and nodding in approval, Liu Ying couldn't help laughing, and scratched the back of her head shyly.

But Lu Zhi asked again: "If you want to use the strategy of 'stone bricks' to make the people come and work hard to build the canal, this matter should be widely spread in Guanzhong to let the people know."

"Does Ying'er have a plan for this matter?"

Hearing this, Liu Ying couldn't help but nodded confidently.

"It's already there."

"Er Yi, use Xiang Xingxing's order to spread the publicity widely and post it all over Guanzhong to speak about this matter."

"In addition, when the stone bricks are transported from Chang'an to Zhengguoqu, they should be accompanied by officials of more than a hundred stones from the Shaofu; if anyone asks about the way, they will tell them in detail."

After saying that, Liu Ying raised her head slightly, and smiled as if begging for a reward: "The queen mother thinks, is this appropriate?"

Unexpectedly, when Lu Zhi heard the words, he just smiled and shook his head.

"Lubu is used by the court to issue decrees and imperial edicts. It would be too deliberate to tell Lubu by 'paving the canal with stone bricks'."

"When you meet someone on the road and ask..."

As he said that, Lu Zhi couldn't help but pause, and patted Liu Ying's little head full of affection.

"If you meet someone on the road, if you ask, you can tell them in detail; but if the passer-by doesn't ask, what should you do?"

Hearing this, Liu Ying was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Don't ask?"

"Why don't you ask?"

"The stone bricks used to build the city are shipped from Chang'an in an endless stream and sent to the Zhengguo Canal. How can it be surprising for the people along the way to see them?"

Seeing Liu Ying's slightly dazed look, Lu Zhi shook his head and smiled again.

"Crazy~"

"Seeing stone bricks, the people are curious, but those who transport stone bricks are all servants of Shaofu officials."

"The people are curious, are you willing to ask the officials and slaves about this?"

"Then let the soldiers accompany you, and when you see the armored soldiers of the soldiers, the people should walk away in fear, so how dare you ask them?"

Listening to Lu Zhi's slow-paced presentation of the real situation, and feeling Lu Zhi's eyes looking at her with affection for the innocent behavior of the younger generation, Liu Ying couldn't help but froze.

"This······"

"Cooperate with me to do such a big thing, and there is no way for others to know?"

"If no one really asks, isn't it really that no one cares about it and plays the piano to the cow?"
