Chapter 456 Chapter 456

The impeachment was fierce this time, but Ding Yi did not receive Li Er's request for him to go to the morning court to clarify.

Thinking about it, Li Er is a sensible person, he knows that there is someone behind the scenes, and the purpose of doing this is to move Ding Yi.

In this way, one can break him, Li Er can break his face.Two can be the whole Dingyi.

At noon, no one came looking for him, and Ding Yi was about to return to Shiping.

Palace, Lizheng Hall.

Li Er and his cronies are discussing countermeasures to see how to resolve this matter.

In the past, every time Ding Yi was impeached, he would call Ding Yi to clarify himself.But after so many times, no one is happy.

I did nothing wrong, why should I clarify with you?

Moreover, Li Er didn't want Ding Yi to come. If he called Ding Yi, it would mean that he still had doubts about Ding Yi, and he would allow the behind-the-scenes instructions to succeed.

The impeachment incident this time was not really aimed at Ding Yi, Li Er knew it clearly.

These people just used Ding Yi as an excuse, but their real purpose was to build roads.

"Your Majesty, are you really not letting Ding Yi come?" Du Ruhui asked.

He was also curious why Li Er changed his temper this time.Although the emperor defended Ding Yi everywhere, Du Ruhui knew in his heart that the emperor was still on guard against Ding Yi, but not in this aspect.

Li Er asked back: "Keming, don't you see their purpose clearly?"

It is said that Keming should understand these, so why would he ask such a question.

Du Ruhui replied: "Your Majesty, the incident happened suddenly this time. They used Ding Yi as an excuse, but in fact there was another reason."

Fang Xuanling continued: "Keming is right, Ding Yi is only their obvious target. According to my speculation, they should be for the purpose of building the road. There are rumors that this time the road will be built. Fees for ten years. In this way, some people must be cut off from their interests, so they will do this."

This kind of thing can be easily found out. With such a large-scale impeachment, if they really don't know the purpose behind these people, they don't have to do it.

Changsun Wuji said: "I think they came here to keep this charge going. But so far, only a few of the parties who met that day are clear about it. And four of them have reached an agreement. Judging from the situation that day, the Zheng family It is impossible to do such a thing, the Li family of Zhaojun, the Cui family of Boling, and the Wang family of Taiyuan would not do such a thing that harms others and benefits themselves. But on that day, one family left early."

He didn't mention that the Li family in Longxi was among them, because the emperor couldn't possibly ask for trouble.

Du Ruhui nodded and said: "After this matter is settled, it has not been announced, so someone must have leaked it. And the person who leaked it must be Qinghe Cui's family! But..."

"Keming wants to say that it's a bit easy to speculate like this! It's impossible for the Cui family to be so stupid and just put themselves on the table." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

Li Er coughed twice and said, "Although I know the reason for this impeachment, they are right about one thing."

Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty is saying that the imperial court does not have so much financial resources to support these two plans!"

Li Er nodded and asked, "Is there anything you can do? Although these two plans complement each other, once they are successful, the benefits will not be the same. It's just that although the national treasury is abundant now, if we really want to complete these two plans, there are still some shortcomings." .”

Datang's treasury can be said to be a showy product. It looks like a lot of money on the outside, but it is stretched when it is really needed.

After the Weishui alliance, the treasury of the Tang Dynasty was empty. Although it had been four years, there was a plague of locusts and a drought in the middle.

According to last year's tax revenue, although there is still a surplus, it is not much.If the road-building program starts to expand, then the treasury will not be able to sustain it.

Fang Xuanling said worriedly: "What Your Majesty said is true! If the matter is not resolved this time, the road construction plan will expand again, and there will definitely be many fewer people participating. In this way, money can only be paid from the treasury, but the treasury But I couldn't hold it at all."

Several people were frowning. It sounds like such a big country, but there are too many places to spend money, and there will be no money when new policies are launched.

A slight movement will hurt the muscles and bones, and if there is another natural or man-made disaster, it will completely collapse.

Li Er rubbed his temples, frowned and said, "Chen Hong, call the people from the Ministry of Communications."

Although there was no money from the imperial court for the road construction plan, there was no extra money handed over to the imperial court.Now it is necessary to find out whether the Ministry of Communications can complete this plan this time, and whether it can complete these two things without the support of the court.

It's really ridiculous to think about it, the few of them will finally have to see if these juniors have the ability to complete this matter.

The Ministry of Communications is now in charge of Du Gou and Changsun Chong, two deputy ministers, as for the minister... Alas, it gives me a headache to mention it!
Hearing Li Er's words, the three people in the hall looked at each other and smiled wryly.

Not long after, the two deputy ministers hurried over and were taken aback when they saw their father.

Then he thought that this was the Lizheng Palace, and hurriedly saluted.

Li Er smiled and said, "You two sit down too."

When the two sat down, Li Er asked, "Can the funds collected for road construction support compensation?"

Straight to the point, Li Er didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point.

Although Du Gou and Changsun Chong were puzzled, they didn't ask any further questions, and replied, "Your Majesty, if the funds collected for road construction are compensated normally, they can indeed be equalized. But this compensation plan is to help the people build farms. cannot be satisfied.”

After hearing this, Li Er frowned even tighter. The compensation plan is a matter of investing first and earning later, and it still needs a long period of preparation in advance.Not a year or two, don't even think about making a profit.

Moreover, tolls are also collected and returned to those who funded the road construction.In this way, it is impossible for the imperial court to benefit from road construction.

But if the road is built, there are many benefits, but it cannot be converted into specific money.It cannot be measured by money!
"Your Majesty, according to the current situation in Chang'an County, it is still not enough. If this matter really becomes a big deal, we may not be able to raise enough funds to build roads in other places." Fang Xuanling said bluntly. Li Er's worry also revealed the truth of the matter.

The current situation is clear at a glance. Either change the charging time of the toll, or stop the plan.

But Li Er was unwilling to be forced to this point by a group of courtiers!
Although it's not a bad thing to back down, Li Er didn't want to back down on this matter.

Do these courtiers care about personal interests so much?For the sake of his own interests, he ignored the imperial court?
Thinking of this, Li Er thought of Ding Yi who devoted himself to the development of Tang Dynasty and the common people!

How did that kid do this!
