Empress work daily

Chapter 193 Relentless
Qin Sangluo has already stood at the head of civil servants.

He hasn't said a word since morning.Seeing that Song Gantang and Tang Chongjian had withdrawn after explaining the Jiangnan affairs, and no one came forward, he stood up.

"Qizou Your Majesty, the preliminary preparations for the construction of the Dajiang Canal have been completed, and I have decided to go to the south of the Yangtze River today. I hereby resign from Your Majesty."

Everyone was surprised and puzzled, isn't the Dajiang Canal already built?
The floods have survived, so why build the Dajiang Canal again?
Is it over yet?
Although Ji Qiang was surprised, he was only surprised that he bid farewell today and at the early court.As for the construction of the Dajiang Canal, it was decided last year.

It's just that at that time, there was no money and no one, and there was still a flood that hadn't passed. She was able to repair the broken embankments in her previous life under many difficulties, and she was already thankful.

Qin Sangluo is now talking about building the Dajiang Canal, which is to dredge the north and south, run through the east and west, and connect the inland rivers and lakes. It is a water project that integrates water conservancy irrigation, flood control and discharge, and water transportation.

According to Song Gantang and Qin Sangluo's preliminary calculations, this project will take about ten years to complete. According to the most economical method, at least 2000 million taels of silver will be invested.

However, Song Gantang also said that if [-]% of the project is completed, the waterway and water transportation will be prosperous. Once the waterway is opened, the circulation of goods will be accelerated, and the national treasury will gradually benefit.If the north-south communication is established in the future, the time for the circulation of goods between the north and the south will be greatly shortened, and the business network of the entire country will be revitalized.

Businessmen make money, and the country naturally makes money.

Such a large-scale project made all the officials stunned, and it took a long time for them to gradually regain their senses.

In response, no one objected.

There are three reasons.

First of all, the matter of building the canal touched His Majesty's private property.Although they want to say one thing, being rich is self-willed.

Secondly, if it is really possible to build a large river canal to connect the north and the south as stated in the plan, it will be a good thing for generations to come.

In the end, all the officials were exhausted, and His Majesty has been obsessed with building water conservancy projects since he succeeded to the throne, and his persuasion was in vain.However, building canals is a thousand times better than building palaces, why should they bother to persuade them!
The monarch nodded, and all the ministers had no objection, and the matter of building the canal was completely settled.

Qin Sangluo asked Ji Qiang to resign again, and it was also a farewell.

According to the original plan, he needs to go south today.

The reason why he had to go to court for the last time before leaving was because he still had something to say to His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, I am doomed to have no family and no heirs in this life. Please let your Majesty do without the matter of adopting a son. I want to devote myself to the construction of canals, and I have no time to raise children. If I have no time to raise children, it is better not to start."

"I don't need any incense to pass on, and the future generations will worship it. It is enough for this minister to realize his ambition."

When the ministers heard this, they were even more shocked than they had just heard about the grand project of building the Dajiang Canal.

A person who has no family, no family, no heirs, and a whole body, can say such a remark.

Ji Qiang was silent for a long time, seeing that he persisted, he obeyed him.

Qin Sangluo saluted Ji Qiang and turned to leave.

The construction of the canal is a big matter, and he has to leave in the morning and evening, Ji Qiang didn't make much effort to keep him, but got up and walked down the golden ladder, and saw Qin Sangluo off in person.

Qin Sangluo, who went to the south of the Yangtze River for the second time, walked out of the Palace of Baohe with his head held high and his chest held high. All the officials silently saw him off.

Qin Sangluo still remembered how embarrassing he was when he first went to the south of the Yangtze River, almost listening to obscenities all the way.

After a year, the people are still those people, but their attitudes have changed drastically.

Qin Sangluo sighed for a moment, then quietly put all this aside.

Does he still care about this now?

No, never will.

He has already found things that are more important than Mount Tai, and these trivial things are naturally lighter than a feather.

……

Ji Qiang stood at the gate of the Hall of Preserving Harmony, enduring the soreness in his nose, and stood still, watching the backs going away bit by bit.

After a long time, he turned around and returned to the court.

Glancing from the corner of the eye, it seemed that a few veterans were silently weeping. Spotting her corner of the eye, they quickly wiped it with their sleeves.

She also sighed a lot, but she couldn't sigh a single one.

Up and down, the monarch and ministers perform their duties.

Everyone has their own mission to complete, and they must persevere in completing it. Qin Sangluo is like this, and so is she.

Morning continues.

Liang Yanqing looked around and saw that no one was coming out, so she mustered up her courage and walked out of the civil service line.

"Your Majesty has reached Ji, and I think that the Ministry of Rites will start preparing for the matter of choosing a husband and king for Your Majesty."

All the ministers: "..."

Ji Qiang: "..."

This Mr. Liang is really persistent!
"Has the roof of Qin Tianjian been repaired?" This time, Ji Qiang didn't show a cold face, but it didn't make any difference either.

"Return to Your Majesty, it's fixed." This time, Liang Yanqing gained confidence and returned quickly and brightly.

Ji Qiang: "Is the wall of Wanbang Pavilion repaired?"

Liang Yanqing: "..."

He wants to repair it, but the key is that there is no money!
Regardless of the household department or the court, how many times he asked for money one after another, picking up one by one, and he just held on to the money and refused to give it.

So far, Liang Yanqing is still brooding over His Majesty's basket of spinach.

"Return to Your Majesty, I want to repair it, but I don't have the money."

Ji Qiang looked at Tang Chongjian, and the Ministry of Household Affairs, which has always been indifferent, immediately allocated 20 taels of silver to the Ministry of Rites.

Liang Yanqing thanked the monarch a thousand times, but she didn't retreat immediately, as if there was still something to do.

Sure enough, Liang Yanqing said again: "Your Majesty, since the opening of the Hongwen Hall, students from Beijing Middle School have signed up enthusiastically, and students from all over the world have heard about it and have entered Beijing... Now the [-]th Hall of Hongwen Hall, Liren Hall, Mingde Hall, Siqi Hall, etc. The library, the Xiuji Hall, etc., are full, and there are still many students from other places staying in Beijing, looking for ways to get into the library.”

This is indeed the case, and Ji Qiang also knew what it meant, so he asked the officials whether they agreed with the expansion of the Hongwen Museum.

Tang Chongjian didn't quite agree. Although the royal family's private treasury and the state treasury made two huge fortunes, the country has been plagued by disasters in the past few years, and money is used everywhere.No, just after the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, more than 1000 million taels of silver were gone.

What's more, His Majesty's benevolence, and the three states in the south of the Yangtze River will be exempted from tax for three years. In the next three years, don't even think about getting a penny from the south.

Lord Yasukuni is determined to renovate the Dajiang Canal, to connect the north and the south, and to connect the east and the west. It is indeed magnificent, but no matter how magnificent it is, it has to be piled up with money, right?If nothing is done every year, more than 200 million taels will be spent just to repair the canal.

This is repairing, that is making up, this is relief, that is for free, all the money that flows out is rushing.

Thinking of these, Tang Chongjian felt distressed reflexively.

Therefore, Tang Chongjian said with reason and evidence: "I think that since the Hongwen Museum can accommodate the students studying in Beijing, it is enough to show that its current scale is sufficient and there is no need to expand it. As for the students from other places, it is more appropriate to return to study locally. A distance Therefore, on the other hand, if the atmosphere of being able to study in Beijing is opened, it will inevitably cause disadvantages on both sides. If the drought is too dry, if the waterlogging is too waterlogged, it will not be a good thing for the capital and the local area."

It is true that Ji Qiang thought that what Tang Chongjian said had some truth.

However, she can't just listen to what one family says, and then ask another family.

Li Changheng, who seldom speaks in court, proposed a half-way solution.
