"Your Majesty, I want to set up a large department, where private capital can enter, but they do not have management rights and operation rights, and only the right to distribute dividends at the end of the year. The canal naturally charges fees. At that time, people along the way also charge fees. After deducting the costs, these fees can be included in profits. This is a matter of benefiting the present and the future. Once investment is invested, it will benefit from generation to generation. I believe that there will definitely be those who have forward-looking vision willing to invest funds. Your Majesty, the current national policy of the Ming Dynasty has allowed many people to have a lot of money, but they cannot find the source. Doing business is risky, and investing in such a major project hosted by the state is almost negligible." Yue Kaishan became more and more excited as he spoke.

"Do you want to issue stocks like the Railways Department when it first raised funds?" Qin Feng asked.

"Yes." Yue Kaishan affirmed: "When I was still in Kunling County, I admired the way the Ming Railway Bureau raised funds. It was a genius idea. A stock of the Railway Bureau is only one tael of silver, even ordinary people can afford it. Your Majesty, a person's power is limited. Even those rich merchants can take out their entire wealth, how much money can they have? But billions of people, each of them, take out one tael of silver, how much is that? So I suddenly thought of this method. For this reason, I also wrote a letter to Geng's Ministry of Revenue and Director Wang for related questions. I think it is completely feasible."

"If you really want to do this, you can't do it in the name of your Cenzhou, but in the name of the court." Qin Feng thought for a while and said, "With your current situation in Cenzhou, I'm afraid that there will be no attracting many people to invest."

"If the court comes forward, all problems will naturally be solved." Yue Kaishan said happily.

"Building a canal, spanning thousands of miles and crossing several states and counties is really not an easy task." Qin Feng rubbed his temples and couldn't help but think of the time and space he had been in. An emperor had also built a canal, but it made his empire fall into difficulties. Although the collapse of that empire was not only because of this, this was also one of his most important evidence of guilt at that time.

However, the purpose of the man who built the canal at that time was to facilitate his travel and enjoyment. Now he built this canal to benefit the people, so it should be very different, right? Moreover, he still has many ways to avoid excessive use of people's power.

Thinking of this, he said to Yue Kaishan: "I agree in principle, but you still need to go to the Zhengshi Hall to prove that your method is feasible. You must know that if you can't convince the Zhengshi Hall, I will not force the Zhengshi Hall to agree to start this project. Of course, I will express my tendency to them, and I believe this will give you a lot of help."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yue Kaishan was very happy. "I will contact Yingzhou and other county governors to go together. Master Zhong and Lord Tang from Hulao, Yongjun. I think I will be happy to help us, because if this canal can be really built, we can not only benefit from it, but as the source of the canal, they will also gain a new financial growth point."

"Don't be busy with thanks. Whether this matter is successful or not is still a matter of whether it will be successful!" Qin Feng said.

"It will definitely be successful. All the greats in the Political Affairs Hall are broad-minded. What they are worried about is that the money is not in place, which will cause a construction of one and a half, but it will cause endless disasters. As long as the funds can be solved, why don't they do it? What's more, we can also solve the prisoners who spend money to support in prisons in various places? I believe other counties are happy to see it."

"If you really bring all those prisoners to you, will you not be afraid of a big mess in Cenzhou? Those people are all criminals!"

"I am not afraid." Yue Kaishan smiled and said, "The people of Cenzhou are fierce. Even women can hold a knife to chop people when they are too impatient. I don't want those vicious thieves. Those ordinary prisoners are taken here, but I am afraid they can only hold their tails together to be human."

Qin Feng laughed: "Then I'll wait and see. By the way, you just took the Cenzhou melons and I'll eat them, and there's a treasure, and a date? You must have stock here, right?"

"That's natural." Yue Kaishan smiled and said, "Just just now, I was busy reporting to Your Majesty. I will take some for Your Majesty to taste and see if it is worthy of its reputation."

Yue Kaishan stood up and hurriedly ran towards the house.

Looking at his back, Qin Feng smiled and nodded. When Yue Kaishan was still Kunling County, he set his sights on this person. At that time, in Kunling County, this guy was an absolute invader, but he took root firmly on that land and built Kunling County into Zhou Jiyun's base camp. This ability to manage the place is rare. Putting him in Cenzhou seems to be the right one. If the things he is considering really become a reality, the Western Land will not only be more closely connected with the Ming Dynasty, but also can change the reality of Western Thalaspora in one fell swoop.

A plate of red sand dates was placed in front of Qin Feng, and he picked up one, put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully, and it turned out to be Yue Kaishan's bragging skin, and the taste was really different.

"It's indeed a good thing. Is there a lot?" Qin Feng asked with a sand date.

"Not many now." Yue Kaishan said frankly: "Because it cannot be sold, it is mostly wild, and some people plant a few of them at home to eat. I am preparing to mobilize the people to plant on a large scale. It is not possible to plant crops in western Cenzhou, but this thing can be planted on a large scale. Before the transportation capacity of Cenzhou melons was solved, I did not want to mobilize the people to plant on a large scale, but this sand date is different. He can stay for a long time. The fresh ones can be sold as fruits, and the endless ones can be dried or sold as medicinal materials. I have already started to cultivate seedlings on a large scale. After solving the current situation, I am ready to start implementing this plan."

"Okay, I'm waiting to see your sand dates sold in Yuejing City." Qin Feng laughed loudly and looked up at the sky: "Mr. Yue, we are guests from afar. We have been sitting in your backyard for a long time. We are tired and hungry now. Can you entertain me? Don't have big fish and meat, just how many servings are you, the special dishes in Cenzhou?"

"It is my blessing to be able to entertain Your Majesty." Yue Kaishan smiled and said, "It is only after I entertain Your Majesty, I also ask Your Majesty to leave Cenzhou quickly."

"It's really unreasonable to start rushing the guests before we can get guests!" Qin Feng laughed: "Eunuch Le, do you think so?"

Eunuch Le smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I think what Lord Yue said makes sense. Cenzhou is not peaceful now. Your Majesty's body is really not suitable for being in a dangerous place."

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, you traitor!" Qin Feng laughed, "I ate Lord Yue's welcome banquet first. If I am satisfied, it is both welcome and practice. If I am not satisfied, hehe, it is hard to say."

Yue Kaishan was a little worried and satisfied when he heard this. It was not just the words of His Majesty. Even if he was satisfied with eating, it would not be easy to pick thorns. He was not ready to leave after hearing what His Majesty said.

Yue Kaishan is a non-pretentious and extremely pragmatic person. Qin Feng said it was a casual banquet, but he was a casual banquet. However, the food made by the local chefs in Cenzhou is naturally very different from the flavor of Yuejing City. Not only did Qin Feng and the other two eat very deliciously, but even Yue Kaishan himself ate several bowls. You know, he has never eaten a meal seriously over the past few days. Now that His Majesty the Emperor has arrived here, although the imminent problem has not been solved, at least, it has cleared the dark clouds for the future development of Cenzhou and a ray of dawn has emerged.

Although His Majesty the Emperor said that he would only give tendential opinions, this is enough. The big men in the Political Affairs Hall will of course take the emperor's words as an extremely important reference.

This political system of the Ming Dynasty was very different from what Yue Kaishan knew. In the past, whether it was Qi, Chu, Qin, Yue, many things were decided by the emperor. This idea of ​​imperial power can even be traced back to all dynasties in history. Li Qing, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who was famous for his wise and holy martial arts, even regarded the chief minister as a decoration.

But in Yue Kaishan's view of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial power and the prime minister's power are mutually restricted. The emperor's orders cannot be issued without the seal of the Political Affairs Hall. On the other hand, if the emperor disagrees with the opinions of the Political Affairs Hall, they cannot be carried out. Simplified and easy-to-rest, the strategy of the Ming Dynasty to govern the country is to discuss and handle the bigwigs of the Political Affairs Hall. Sometimes, it is a process of mutual compromise.

Is this OK?

Sometimes it looks bad. For example, if Yue Kaishan wants to do something now, if it is in Qi State, he only needs to convince the emperor alone, but in Ming State, the emperor agreed, but only half of it was successful.

Isn't this good?

Yue Kaishan is a little indecisive, or in the long run, this is good. Because this can greatly avoid the introduction of some stupid policies, or a word of injustice. If the emperor is stupid, the Political Affairs Hall can also have a constraint on this.

Yue Kaishan couldn't understand the emperor in front of him. You should know that this system was completely created by him and fixed as a legal code. A founding emperor actually designed a system to restrain his own hands and feet. This was indeed a bit incredible to Yue Kaishan.

Yue Kaishan hopes that one day he can enter the Political Affairs Hall to criticize Fang Qi and guide the country. Of course, he also knows that it will take a long time for him to reach this point. At least, as long as Zhou Jiyun still holds military power, he will never want to enter the Political Affairs Hall.

Or, after the Ming Dynasty conquered Qi and unified the world, it was the best time to use its abilities. Now, I should put all my thoughts into Cenzhou. This would be the best starting place for me to enter the Political Affairs Hall.
