Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 674 Some People Are Deserving of Respect

Respect is a relative term. Compared to the dung-making machine, the waste of the royal family - Li Yuanjia, Li Chengqian is more willing to sit on the ground and watch the people work, and use his own sweat in exchange for food for survival. Isn't it more worthwhile not to have a rich man with a smelly wine and meat? Do people respect it?

In the endless wheat field, drinking a large bowl of deep well water in the shade of a tree, not only relieved the stuffiness in the chest, but also smelled the faint fragrance of wheat. What is the meaning of life? The bastard thing can know.

This year is another bumper harvest year. Looking at the farmland all over the place makes people happy from the inside out. He now understands the emperor's emotion when he saw the bumper harvest. Compared with those intrigues, this place is indeed more peaceful and harmonious. .

Of course, this tranquility and harmony come through manpower, so this kind of achievement is even more cherished. Uchiro-Zhang Hong, the second son of Zhang Xuansu, reported the progress of this year in a clear and orderly manner .Datang is an agricultural country, and the abundance and shortage of grain are closely related to water conservancy construction. Because of Dujiangyan, central Sichuan has become a "land of abundance".

A flood or a severe drought can make the people lose their crops, prompt the hungry people to spread everywhere, and even rise up, increasing the pressure on local defenses, shaking the ruling foundation of the imperial court, and continuously consuming national power.Therefore, building water conservancy facilities as much as possible and reducing the harm caused by natural disasters will benefit the country and the people without any harm.

In order to effectively rectify the construction of water conservancy projects, Li Chengqian specially invited the water supervisor of the emperor's intelligence department to be in command. They are in charge of the dredging and irrigation of the capital's rivers and canals in name, so they can't just sell dog meat for the rest of their lives!
Moreover, holding the special power bestowed by the emperor, they can ignore all the rules of the local officialdom. After passing through their hands, no one would dare to take a share of the money.A large number of people, such as Mizubu Langzhong and Yuanwai Lang, who brought the gold medal of "as if I came in person" to the Ministry of Industry, are making drastic moves in various ways in the world.

In the past two years, there have been 27 large-scale water conservancy projects under the Ministry of Industry. There are countless other projects such as dredging rivers and canals and digging wells in rural areas. It was not easy for the ministers who searched for money when they were arguing in the Golden Palace.

For example, Gouchengtang, built to solve the drought in Yangzhou, can irrigate more than [-] hectares of farmland. Since then, Yangzhou will never lose production due to drought.The Wudi River, Changlu River, Zhang River and Heng River that were dredged and diverted in Cangzhou no longer have to worry about flooding.

The Yanhua Canal excavated in Xiazhou-Shuofang leads Wushui into Dize.Bianzhou-Chenliu opened Guanyinpo and irrigated [-] hectares of fields, creating excellent conditions for high grain production.Li Chengqian knew very well in his heart that no matter how advanced technology and productivity were, no matter the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, the north or the south, he still needed to rely on the sky for food, so avoiding disasters as much as possible was more useful than saving money.

So it's all worth it, isn't it?And I believe that those ministers who believe that man can't defeat nature have no reason to refute now, don't they?

"Your Highness, the projects of the Metropolitan Water Supervision Department and the Ministry of Industry have been completed on time and according to the quantity this year, and they are in good condition. There are no quality problems such as embankment failure. The renovation plan for next year has been reported, and His Majesty asked Zhongshu Sheng to transfer it. Come here to show you!" After finishing speaking, he presented the chapter in his hand.

After flipping through it briefly, Li Chengqian returned the notebook to him, put his hands behind his head on the tree root, and said lightly: "It's okay to spend more money. The most important thing is that ordinary people can get benefits. Look at those who benefited from The people of the "connecting rivers and canals" policy, is it worth the money?

Immediately after you go back, write a copy of this chapter for Gu, and agree with the construction plan of the Metropolitan Water Supervision and the Ministry of Works.A ten-year project will benefit a hundred years. Compared with chaos and disaster relief, Guxiangxinfuhuang is more willing to spend money on this.The Li family has not been enjoying the country for a long time, so why not do this project that will benefit the present and benefit the future! "

After making a promise, Zhang Hong said in a low voice: "Your Highness, King Qi and Duke Zhao have escorted King Han and his wife to Beijing. Before leaving, Duke Zhao specially sent someone to report!" Seeing the prince frowning, Quickly continued to explain: "Concubine Han insisted on accompanying her, and King Qi had no choice. Mr. Zhao said that when he entered Beijing, he would notify Fang Biao to take him back."

Fang Yizhi is the general of the East Palace. He has followed the crown prince for many years and is a confidant. Now because King Han committed a small incident, he is detaining his sister. This is easy to cause misunderstanding. Zhang Hong has been in the East Palace for many years. I still understand.

"Send another edict to Dou Kuan, asking him to go to the East Palace treasury to pick out some decent gifts, on behalf of Gu, go to Liang Gong's mansion to find comfort for the next house minister, and tell him not to take care of King Han's affairs, His Majesty will not want that bastard Little fate. Finally, tell Xu Jingzong of Shenzhou that he must close the net before His Majesty's longevity, and he must give that person as a birthday present to the father." After speaking, Li Chengqian waved his hand, signaling Zhang Hongke to go down to work.

In his impression, Fang Fengzhu was a very timid woman. No matter when she was a young lady in the Fang family or after marrying Li Yuanjia, she always showed the image of a good girl in front of the world, and she dared not speak loudly. The most timid and cowardly existence among the princesses.

I really didn't expect that she could still be so strong in a critical moment. She really deserves to be the daughter of Mrs. Hufang who is as tough as a tiger.Hey, as a wife and mother, Mrs. Fang's fine traditions have really been passed on to her.Li Yuanjia is blessed, to be able to marry such a woman, this bastard is blessed in eight lifetimes.

Having said that, Emperor Taiwu's vision of picking his daughter-in-law is not bad. Just look at the concubine he chose for Li Yuanjia. The person who looks for it carefully is much better than Su Wan. It can be seen that the old man doesn't like himself. It's been a day or two.

As for Fang Yizhi, Li Chengqian is not worried at all. We have lived and died together for more than ten years, and it has long been difficult to tell who has saved whom many times. Whether he will harm Fang's family, Fang Yizhi knows it well, and he can't. A rift will arise because of such a trivial matter, otherwise the relationship between the monarch and his ministers and comrades would be too worthless.

What really worried him was that Fang Xuanling had to face the attacks of his colleagues in the court and the criticism from the tigress at home. He took a reassurance, Li Chengqian couldn't bear it.Dou Kuan is an astute official, of course he knows how to stabilize the old house, and sending him to Li Chengqian is the most reassuring.

When Li Chengqian was thinking deeply about the matter between the Fang family and King Han, an old man came over with a bamboo hat full of jujubes and said with a smile: "Come on, you have a baby, try the jujubes from our own jujube tree, and have a look." It’s not worse than yours in Chang’an!”.
