Chapter 278 I'm not afraid of living frugally
After breakfast, Li Chengqi left in a hurry and told his third brother this good idea.
In the palace, Li Longji put up a few thirty-six strategies on his case, and listened to Wei Zhigu, the Minister of Works, asking for money there.
Wei Zhigu didn't care about the Ministry of Revenue's request, so he directly looked for Li Longji, but the Political Affairs Hall asked someone to send a document.
"Last winter solstice, there was quite little precipitation in Jingzhao Prefecture and Guannei Road, Hedong Road, Henan Road, Hebei Road, and Shannan East Road.
I am afraid that there will be a drought, so the Ministry of Works asks to take advantage of the drop in the water level, clear the river channel, and dig wells to benefit the people. I occasionally get the method of preventing the people from fighting for water..."
Wei Zhigu said, "It means you want money, and the Ministry of Works is going to work."
When Yao Chong and others heard him say, "I accidentally got a method."
Shameless, you happened to have it. You went there specifically to ask for it, but was stopped by King Song.
Li Longji had no contempt expression when he heard it. He knew that Wei Zhigu was only using pressure well manufacturing technology.
What is really amazing is the new well-driving technology, and it takes a deep digging in many places.
Dig a large hole, go down little by little, or use a hanging block to lift up the soil to fix the well wall.
Not only that it takes time and effort, people dig under it and it is easy to collapse and bury it in.
Now we need money, and the treasury is not too abundant. We must always be prepared for the southwest.
I can only take out a portion of the money I earned. I didn’t have money before, so everyone stared at me.
Now that I have money, I look at the eyes of my ministers...
"Yao Qing, do you have any plans?" Li Longji didn't want to pay it himself.
"Your Majesty, Zuozang has not much money left, so why should he recruit more people from other regions?"
Yao Chong gave a plan to find people from other places to come and work.
Rent mediocre, adjust.
Li Longji stared at Yao Chong with wide eyes, "Why are you fooling me with me? I've transferred the people from other places to work here?"
Do you pay the travel expenses? People don’t work when spring is coming? Do you force them to use money instead, and then you have money?
"This matter... I will discuss it again." Li Longji did not say it was OK or not.
He is not short of money, but he is unwilling to take it like this, just like he doesn't want others to go to Li Yi to ask about things.
"Zhu Qingqing read this book, but it is suitable for sending it to the official school."
Li Longji took the initiative to change the topic and asked the eunuchs to post the book one by one.
Everyone started to flip through the book, but there was a catalogue, and the first one was written as "The Battle Plan".
The first plan is indeed to hide the truth.
The second plan is to surround Wei and save Zhao.
The third plan...
After the six strategies, it will be replaced with the "enemy battle plan"
The seventh strategy is to create something out of nothing.
The eighth strategy is to secretly visit Chen Cang.
Then attack and battle plans, melee plans, and battle plans, defeat plans.
Just looking at the battle plan in the directory and the sub-tool names below, it makes people feel surging.
Four people were reading books, and Li Longji was also sitting there reading, watching four people.
He was flirting with evil at this moment, so he wanted to see the ministers' surprise, shocked and helpless.
Only in this way can they work hard. Don’t think that everyone is very powerful. I tell you, you are far from it.
If I don’t work hard, I will do the same if I change it.
What do you want to...that? Yes, exert subjective initiative.
Yao Chong and others had no intention of caring about what His Majesty was thinking. They were so fascinated by reading books.
They found that this book is not only about military wars, but also about both officialdom and business.
They were watching, Li Chengqi rushed in, glanced at them, ran to Li Longji and continued to bite his ears.
"Third brother, this is the case. I went to Yi's place..." Li Chengqi began to speak.
He went to get the drawings, but the drawings were not yet ready and the real thing was still being built. He was anxious to come back and talk about the big things in the world.
Li Longji's eyes widened, narrowed his eyes, smiled at the corners of his mouth, opened his mouth slightly, clenched his fists, clapped his hands, and all kinds of expressions and movements, but he didn't make a sound.
The four people reading books looked at the two people above with their own eyes, listened with a glance, but didn't hear a word. They were so anxious. What happened again?
Zhang Shuo looked up at Yao Chong, and Yao Chong looked up at Zhang Shuo at the same time with a sympathy.
Zhang Shuo's eyes: Something big is going to happen.
Yao Chong: You still need to say it.
Zhang said: Since King Song went to that farm, I have been worried all day long.
Yao Chong: If he doesn’t go, would you be worried?
Zhang said: Do you think I'm afraid of you?
Yao Chong: I'm afraid you can't do it?
At this time, Lu Huaishen turned his head and looked over: Don’t fight with you two, you have to fight with the strong enemy, think about the defeat plan in this book, and see which one is easy to deal with that boy.
Zhang Shuo stretched out his fingers and said: The first plan is the beauty plan.
Yao Chong shook his head slightly: No, those beauties in Nanqu were not moved by him.
Zhang Shuo gestured downward: The handsome man made a plan.
Lu Huaishen gave a disgusting expression and glared at him: Be serious, don’t make trouble.
Zhang Shuo stretched out three fingers: a counter-espionage plan.
Yao Chong and Lu Huaishen sneered together: They will put themselves in.
"Hmm!" Wei Zhigu suddenly coughed, scaring the three of them.
"Hmm!" Li Longji coughed, and the three of them were startled again.
"Just just now, Wei Qing talked about the well digging of the Ministry of Works, and Yao Qing said Zuozang didn't have much money. Uh... I want to save money and take out money to get water for the people."
Seeing the four people coming over, Li Longji raised the topic to discuss again.
The three prime ministers looked at each other and suddenly felt something was wrong. His Majesty is so easy to talk to, and he still took the initiative to pay?
As for what you save money, you can automatically ignore it.
"Your Majesty's love for the people should be an example for all the ministers in the world." Wei Zhigu quickly supported him, no matter what happened to him, he had money anyway.
When I encountered disasters in the past, it was not the court who paid money, but usually I was in charge of local disaster relief and at the same time, I reduced the rent and exempted mediocre people.
Only when the imperial court prepares a major water conservancy project will it take extra money to hire people.
One of the money Zuozang is used to pay the salaries of officials and the other is to the army. Very few people fall into the people.
And Youzang were all tributes and treasures sent from the place, and the royal people ordered them to do so.
Inside, inside is the income of the imperial villages in various places, and is purchased separately in the palace.
Your Majesty is willing to pay his own money. Okay, as long as this hole is opened, you can still care about Your Majesty’s request in the future.
When Yao Chong and the other two were not at ease, they also thought of this problem, and there would be a second time if they had to be.
But they don’t believe Your Majesty doesn’t know, so why does Your Majesty still...
Their eyes were on King Song, who stood beside him, who seemed to have nothing to do with me.
"Third brother, I suddenly remembered that there was something wrong, so I left first." Li Chengqi threw down a sentence and ran away.
The four people's heads turned with him until his figure disappeared outside the hall.
Turning around, they looked at Li Longji again.
Li Longji had a serious expression: "I heard that the salt eaten by the people in Chang'an City has different differences. Although sea salt and pond salt are cheap, they are not suitable for the mouth. Shu salt tastes delicious, but the price is higher than the previous two, is that?"
"Yes!" the four people responded at the same time.
"I heard that the salt wells in Shu are insufficient, so the price is high. I can't bear to see the people suffering from eating salt. Therefore, I am willing to save money and take out some money to dig wells in Shu to get salt to benefit the people."
Li Longji threw out the most critical thing.
The four of them looked at each other, and saw that they were frugal and something big happened.
"Your Majesty, the salt well is not easy to dig, and if you throw money in, there may not be anything." Yao Chong kindly advised.
Chapter completed!
