Chapter 6: Reward, 11,000 Gold!
Wonderful, really wonderful.
Li Chengfeng made an astonishing statement. The South-to-North Water Diversion not only successfully solved the natural disasters in the Tang Dynasty, but also prevented natural disasters in the coming year.
With this plan, are you still afraid that the Tang Dynasty will not prosper in the future?
At this moment, not only Li Shimin was shocked by Li Chengfeng's words, but also the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, who immediately looked at Li Chengfeng with admiration.
"Feng'er, how long do you think it will take to complete the big South-to-North Water Diversion Project?"
Li Shimin continued to ask tentatively.
He wanted to know whether Li Chengfeng thought of this idea accidentally, or whether he had actually known about such a wonderful plan for the South-to-North Water Diversion Project for a long time!
Li Chengfeng said: "To report back to my father, if all the people of the Tang Dynasty are mobilized, a super canal should be dug out in less than three years! During this period, my father can directly use the gold in the treasury to collect taxes from the people.
Labor force! In this way, the people have work and money to earn, which can avoid food losses due to drought years. The people have made money, and they can import food through foreign trade, so naturally people will not starve to death. Maybe,
They can live a better life!"
"What? Feng'er, what is foreign trade? What is import?"
Li Chengfeng's words immediately confused Li Shimin and the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty.
Foreign trade and import? What do you mean?
He seemed to say it very smoothly, but what did he mean?
Li Chengfeng also realized that his professional terminology did not conform to the current tone and vocabulary of Datang.
So he coughed and explained: "Father, foreign trade and import means that our Datang uses money to purchase foreign goods, thereby reducing our Datang's labor force but getting corresponding materials. Relatively speaking,
As long as we spend some money, which is neither light nor heavy, we can get the items everyone needs! This is foreign trade and import!"
After saying this, Li Shimin was completely stunned.
Li Chengfeng was eloquent and eloquent, and he could speak all kinds of awkward words in his mouth very fluently.
At this moment, Li Shimin only had two words in his mind: Genius!
"Feng'er, Mo Bucheng, have you done this kind of thing before?" Li Shimin asked.
"Uh, no! What I used to do was historical and archaeological research!" Li Chengfeng replied.
"Historical and archaeological research? Well, that's pretty good too!"
Li Shimin stroked his beard and nodded, pretending that he understood what Li Chengfeng said about the job.
After all, he is the emperor. If he keeps asking questions about his six-year-old child and understands nothing, how can the royal family maintain its dignity?
Moreover, all the civil and military ministers of the dynasty were listening in the court, so no matter what, Li Shimin had to maintain his imperial demeanor.
But Li Chengfeng secretly laughed.
This Li Shimin is really good at pretending. He actually pretends that he knows what scientific research is in the twenty-first world?
shameless!
"Then, father, do you really know what my previous job was?"
"Um?"
After Li Chengfeng finished speaking, Li Shimin's eyes widened instantly, as if to say, Feng'er, please stop asking, I don't know!
Fang Xuanling in the court saw that something was not going well, so Fang Xuanling hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Your Majesty, I think the eighth prince is very smart and will definitely be the future pillar of the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty, the eighth prince wants to
Big projects like the 'South-to-North Water Diversion' have been launched to fight natural disasters with manpower, so what do you want to reward the Eighth Prince, Your Majesty?"
"Haha, Liang Guogong is right. Feng'er was able to come up with such a brilliant plan at the age of six. He deserves a reward! So I decided to give the prince a thousand gold pieces and ten thousand pieces of gold for his strategy. A total of 1,000 pieces of gold will be given to my prince.
A thousand gold coins! Your Majesty, what do you think?"
"My dear father, I thank you!"
Li Chengfeng also covered his mouth and chuckled.
You can earn eleven thousand gold by just making a random plan? With this money, you can buy a shopping street directly under Chang'an City!
Since Li Shimin has rewarded him with so much money, Li Chengfeng has no intention of demolishing Li Shimin.
On the other hand, Li Shimin's brows, which had been frowning before, had now relaxed and his face was filled with joy.
Li Shimin said: "Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, I will entrust you two prime ministers with the major project of 'South-to-North Water Diversion'! You must complete this important task well!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's hard work!"
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui clasped their fists and bowed.
Li Shimin allowed the two most outstanding prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty to take charge of the "South-to-North Water Diversion" project, which shows how serious Li Shimin was about this matter!
As Li Chengfeng said before, the South-to-North Water Diversion Project requires a lot of manpower and material resources in the early stage. But once it is completed, the entire Tang Dynasty will surely rise into the wind and soar into the sky.
As long as people's livelihood problems are solved, are you still afraid that Datang will not be prosperous in the future?
…
After retiring from the imperial court, Li Chengfeng's plan for the "South-to-North Water Diversion" project spread instantly within the Tang Dynasty Palace.
A senior official of the Tang Dynasty exclaimed: "It's incredible. The Tang Dynasty has given birth to a genius prince. He can solve countless worries and headaches that have troubled emperors in the past with just one trick!"
"Yes, I was in court at that time. When I heard about the 'South-to-North Water Diversion' project, I immediately admired the Eighth Prince!"
"The person who can come up with this plan must be a genius sent from heaven!"
"I used to think that the Eighth Prince was just a naughty child, but it turns out that the Eighth Prince's intelligence is far higher than that of ordinary people. It's because of my poor eyesight that I feel ashamed of myself!"
Therefore, Li Chengfeng naturally became a genius not seen in a century in the eyes of senior officials of the Tang Dynasty.
They believed that after what happened, Li Shimin would definitely value Li Chengfeng.
If the position of Prince of the Tang Dynasty had not been passed down to Li Shimin's eldest son Li Chengqian long ago, I am afraid that Li Chengfeng would definitely have the right to inherit the position of Prince with his intelligence!
And Li Shimin established Li Chengqian as the prince of the Tang Dynasty early in order to prevent history from repeating itself.
He didn't want to see his sons fighting each other for the throne of the Tang Dynasty!
…
After retiring from the court, Li Chengfeng returned to the Zhenwang Mansion.
In the huge Zhenwang Mansion, in addition to Li Chengfeng and his personal eunuch Wu Eunuch, there are also two thirteen-year-old maids named Xiao Lan and A Cai!
These two maids, in addition to taking care of Li Chengfeng's daily life, the rest is to clean the Prince's Mansion.
I usually have nothing to do but sweep the floor and cut flowers and grass, and my life is extremely comfortable.
"Eunuch Wu, go and get me some ice cubes, it's so hot!"
"Yes, the Eighth Prince, please go to the palace to find ice cubes for the Eighth Prince!"
However, before Eunuch Wu went out, a voice came to his ears: "The Emperor has arrived!"
The emperor is here?
Chapter completed!
