Sui and Tang Dynasties: Beginning with Overlord Inheritance

Xu Maogong and the others were a little shocked.

They didn't think so much, and after thinking about it, it was indeed the case.

Make full use of canal water transportation.Based on the canal, establish a huge and complex water transport system to continuously transport material resources from all over the country to the capital city. Only in this way can there be no future troubles.

"Your Majesty really thought it through carefully, but the ministers were negligent."

Xu Maogong was happy in his heart, his prediction was correct.

Yang Zhao's superior position is definitely a wise choice.

The Xiaochaohui ended, everyone dispersed, only Wei Zheng stood where he was, hesitating to speak.

"Wei Gong, what else is there?"

Yang Zhao glanced at it, and now that the matter has been resolved, he is in a good mood.

"Back to Your Majesty, what about Chu Suiliang...?"

Wei Zheng finally asked what he thought.

Chu Suiliang was recommended by him, and he has been honest and responsible since he became Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

It even proposed the construction of water transportation in advance.

Although the mind is not pure.

But overall, it's a good thing.

It shows that during his reign, it was indeed to share the worries of His Majesty.

It's just that Chu Suiliang's performance has been so unsatisfactory since he proposed it.

It’s hard to say, but in the early morning court, by mistake, Yang Zhao cooperated with Yang Zhao.

If you want to say okay, those things you did in private, if you say that you didn't fill your own pockets, it is absolutely unbelievable.

A third-rank official hired a cook at home, and his food was better than that of the emperor.

Where did so much money come from?

Yes, the family has money, but they can't spend it like this.

Especially sitting in this position.

Looking at the entire court, officials of the fourth rank or above, no matter how rich they are, cannot squander like this.

Take Xu Maogong as an example.

The same origin of the noble family, but they have always kept everything simple and never extravagant and wasteful in life.

This is a reflection of a person's character.

On the contrary, like Chu Suiliang, if you say that he is not greedy, let alone the emperor, even the common people don't believe it.

Yang Zhao was thoughtful:
"Wei Gong, I know that, even though Chu Suiliang is arrogant, he also has a heart for the country and the people."

Wei Zheng felt relieved.

He is quite optimistic about Chu Suiliang.

There is no doubt about the ability.

The speed and efficiency of the work are very fast.

Regarding the water transportation, the specific plan and detailed steps were all written in the memorial the next day after the memorial.

This is obvious to all.

After sending Wei Zheng away, Yang Zhao smiled.

Chu Suiliang must be eliminated, but because of Wei Zheng's face, it is not easy to say so directly.

Just give him another chance.

During this period, if there is a change, it may not be a bad thing to stay.

Afterwards, Yang Zhao came to Yong'an Palace again.

Empress Li Xiuning was very happy because she received the news this morning.

Both Shan Bingbing and Zhai Jiaojiao sent new silver silks and satins, which shows that Yang Zhao has always taken this matter to heart.

But at the same time, I also inquired about some things about the morning court.

Seeing Yang Zhao approaching at this moment, Li Xiuning handed over some prepared jewelry.

"Your Majesty, this is also a little bit of my wish, not much, just take it as a contribution."

Seeing Li Ningxiu like this, Yang Zhao felt very relieved.

He also knew Li Ningxiu's temperament, so he didn't refuse to accept it.

……

Meanwhile, the next month.

All officials and common people have heard about His Majesty's plan to build water transport.

For officials, this is undoubtedly a fatal blow.

Asking them to pay, is His Majesty crazy?
But due to the emperor's order, they dare not disobey.

Just donate money, it’s just a question of how much, and there is still debate.

Some people think that since the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and there are many officials, it is reasonable for them to donate less.

Anyway, he has a small official, a small salary, and his family is not big, so he doesn't have that much money, which is normal.

Others feel that this is an opportunity for performance.

For such a big event, someone must have recorded at that time, where, which official, and how much was donated.

are all recorded.

If you are appreciated by the emperor and you become an official, will you be far behind?
There are also some sober people who know very well that this is a temptation from the emperor.

What looks like an opportunity is actually a trap.

Donating more and donating less is a question worth considering.

It’s best to follow the crowd. I’ll take an average of how much other people donate, and it’s almost enough.

Secondly, they also realized that this was a warning from the emperor to their gentry.

A warning in disguise.

For the people, it is a good thing, a great thing!

They don't understand the deep meaning of building water transport.

For the north, the construction of water transport is paid by officials, and they are still tax-free.

Secondly, if they also participate in it, it can also solve the problem of food and clothing.

This is very important. Compulsory service has become the norm for the construction of water transport.

When I first heard the news, I was a little dissatisfied.

Since the new emperor came to the throne, he has always been kind to the people and thought of the people, but now he will inevitably be a little disappointed if he does such a thing.

It wasn't until the policy came down that the people realized that they had misunderstood.

This kind of good thing is completely to think about the problem from the perspective of the common people.

Some people in families who are reluctant are also very happy. That one bucket of rice for more than a month is the mighty kindness of the emperor!
Originally compulsory service, they must also participate, and there is nothing.

Even if it is for disaster relief, you only eat porridge every day, three meals a day, and you have to do physical work, who can bear it?

It's different now.

A bucket of rice, you can distribute it as you like, and you can eat it as you like, and you don't have to compete with others.

This is the biggest difference between rice distribution and disaster relief.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

……

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

I don't know if it's because of His Majesty's personal decision this time, or if all the officials want to express themselves.

Everything about the silver bills was quickly brought together to the Ministry of Accounts.

The newly appointed Minister of the Household Department, Wei Dai, frowned and his face was full of anxiety.

After Xiao Li stepped down, he was transferred from the governor of Xiaozhou to the position of Shangshu of Hubu.

For this, he is also very happy.

Because his grandfather Wei Chong was originally the Minister of the Household Department, he can be regarded as inheriting the mantle.

But after taking office, I realized that this is a mess.

The first thing I deal with is a big one. If I don't handle it well, I'm afraid that the position of this minister will be handed over to others.

There might be a risk of being beheaded.

Wei Daigui paced back and forth in the study with a sad expression on his face.

"How can this be good, how can this be good!"

It was an easy task, all you need to do is to collect silver taels, and then report the total amount.

He also knew the ins and outs of the matter. According to estimates, the silver taels this time should at least exceed one million taels of silver.

But now the amount in his hands is only 50!
So much silver left, where did it go?
