Jiang Ning said calmly: "Hu Shangshu, do you know what I mean by keeping you?"
Hu Yawen is a smart man and knows how to guess the emperor's thoughts, which is a taboo!
He frowned, thought hard for a while, and finally shook his head.
"I really don't understand. I'm stupid. Your Majesty, please speak clearly!"
Hu Yawen bowed and whispered.
Jiang Ning could see Hu Yawen's thoughts at a glance and sighed, as expected, these people in the officialdom are all old foxes!
"Hmph...you really don't know?"
The cold voice made Hu Yawen's heart skip a beat.
After all, the emperor holds great power and can deal with an ordinary minister without any waste of effort.
"I...I don't know, please let your Majesty make it clear!"
Seeing Hu Yawen like this, Jiang Ning shook his head, forget it, I'd better stop teasing him.
Then, Jiang Ning asked slowly: "What I want to ask you is, is 500,000 taels used to open the canal enough?"
It turned out to be this.
Hu Yawen did a rough calculation before and found that about 300,000 taels would be enough. All the 300,000 taels in his plan were used in the canal digging project. He responded: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you are rich and enough."
Got it!"
Jiang Ning thought thoughtfully and frowned slightly, "This is a major nationwide project. Is it really enough?"
"Hu Shangshu, you must think carefully before answering!"
When Hu Yawen heard this, he felt uncomfortable. Logically speaking, Emperor Wu had already seen all the data before and understood the amount of silver needed. Why would he ask again?
As the saying goes, when something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
What's more, Emperor Wu is so wise, he must have other intentions!
Hu Yawen was thoughtful, hesitated for a while, and then said cautiously: "Returning... to His Majesty is not enough!"
Jiang Ning's face remained calm, but he smiled in his heart, not bad...
You have some brains, so I'll promote you!
"Not enough..." Jiang Ning pondered and said slowly: "This is a bit difficult to handle. People's livelihood projects must continue. Let's do this. Tomorrow in the court, you can make some more suggestions to the Imperial Master! After all,
The national teacher has outstanding abilities!"
Only now did Hu Yawen understand what Jiang Ning really meant.
He immediately knelt down to Jiang Ning.
"Martial Emperor Shengming!"
Jiang Ning waved his hand and added, "When Wang An comes in the evening, you can come too!"
"Yes...Your Majesty!"
Hu Yawen stepped back and exited the side hall before wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
I sighed, I was really scared to death just now, it’s a shame I didn’t do anything wrong.
Otherwise, he might have been frightened half to death by Emperor Wu.
Also, Jiang Ning knew in his heart that Wu Dynasty was a mess before he came. How can a messy place be good?
The answer is definite!
A bunch of garbage!
Inevitably, officials protect each other, and corruption and bending the law have become the norm!
It’s ridiculous for those idiots. Without the country, where can they go to be greedy?
Jiang Ning looked at the pile of papers and felt that he was getting more and more smooth.
He must do a good job as the emperor's second son, and gather enough three thousand beauties, so that his trip to the Wu Dynasty will not be in vain.
…
It's evening.
Hu Yawen and Wang An arrived at the Imperial Garden.
Wang An made the tools, shovels, picks, crowbars, plows...all made by the Production Supervision Department.
Jiang Ning gave the drawings, and the workers completed it in the shortest possible time.
In this era, as long as the emperor personally investigates anything, they dare not be careless.
Especially when you hear "Head-Lost", you will work even harder.
Jiang Ning took a look at the tool in front of him. Although it was a little rough, it could be considered a new technology in the current world environment.
"Not bad, good job..."
Wang An immediately made a rainbow fart, "With the protection of Emperor Wu, I will be able to make it in a while!"
Jiang Ning said directly, "Stop flattering!"
Ga!
Wang An's expression froze, a little embarrassed, but he still smiled.
"Will these tools work?"
Jiang Ning asked.
Hu Yawen and Wang An looked at each other and shook their heads in embarrassment, no, just no.
No shame, it’s new after all!
Jiang Ning picked up the shovel. The shovel head in front was a lot smaller than in the previous life, but it did not affect its use.
It's at least 10,000 times easier to use than a wooden shovel.
"It's used like this..."
Jiang Ning held the rough handle with both hands, stepped on the front shovel with his left foot, and broke the ground easily.
When Hu Yawen and Wang An saw it, their eyes widened. It turns out this is how it is used. How wonderful!
It's really, really silky...
With these new things, it will naturally save a lot of effort for those who work.
Next, other tools were introduced, and both Hu Yawen and Wang An seemed to have discovered a new world.
I find it very exciting!
Applause again and again!
Finally, there was the plow. Jiang Ning asked Wang An to act as the old scalper, and he took advantage of the situation and pierced the iron-inlaid triangle into the soil.
Wang An took two steps, and a new layer of soil was turned up on the ground.
Hu Yawen took a direct shot and applauded, "Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise..."
Jiang Ning checked these tools and found that they were all well made and met his own standards. "Wang An, notify the craftsmen to work day and night to build them for me!"
"Yes!" Wang An now admired Jiang Ning with all his might.
He is so wise that he is better than those inventors.
The Wu Dynasty had such an emperor, how could it not be revived?
Jiang Ning added: "The current situation in Wu Dynasty seems to be stable, but in fact there are still certain contradictions. Hu Shangshu, these tools must be put away when work is stopped. I think you should understand!"
Hu Yawen naturally understood and nodded, "Please rest assured, Emperor Wu, I understand!"
"Okay...if you have nothing to do, just go down!"
"yes!"
Hu Yawen and Wang An left the Royal Garden, and they sighed constantly along the way.
He praised Jiang Ning for all kinds of things.
Jiang Ning put his hands behind his back and looked up at the clear blue night sky.
Thinking!
Although I had a mobile phone in my previous life and could browse long-legged girls every day, how could it be compared to now?
I am the Nine-Five Supreme!
Thinking of this, he was very excited and eager to try. He wished he could immediately lead an army of 300,000 to wipe out the surrounding empires and become a powerful emperor!
It's a pity that the current conditions are not mature yet. When they are mature, he will ride his horse and whip, wear golden armor, and hold a dragon sword to make the other eight countries surrender!
This is what an emperor should do!
Of course, if he loves the country more than he loves beauties, he wants to enjoy the beauties in this world!
A gust of night wind blew by, and a gorgeous flower fell quietly to the ground.
Jiang Ning came back to his senses and prepared to pick it up...
Suddenly, a beautiful figure flashed beside Jiang Ning and sent out a dagger.
However, the dagger stopped when it was only a few feet away from Jiang Ning's throat.
Jiang Ning was so frightened that even if the visitor was Qiu Ye, his face turned dark.
"Ahem... Damn girl, your way of showing up is not good!"
