Only after the fall of the Qing Dynasty did the railway construction slowly withdraw the canal transportation from the stage.

However, in places where there is no railway development, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are still the biggest ways of transportation.

So unless Liu Mingqi is now cheating, making the steam engine, and then laying the railway hard, the problem of canal transportation will be unsolvable.

When Miao Yan saw Liu Mingqi's face changing constantly and looking frowning, he felt relieved.

If Liu Mingqi spoke a lot of ways, Miao Yan would not listen.

If the canal transportation was really so easy to solve, it would not have become a major problem for thousands of years.

No matter how smart King De is, he cannot be smarter than everyone, right?

Therefore, the more difficult the boy seemed, the more Miao Yan thought he was thinking seriously and thinking about his solutions, and the more he looked forward to his suggestions.

"Mr. Miao, it is impossible to completely solve the canal transportation." Liu Mingqi said the first sentence directly, "Even if you go, even if you raise the guillotine and kill hundreds of corrupt officials in the canal transportation, as long as you leave, you don't even have to wait for you to leave, the huge benefits will still make countless people take risks and continue to commit crimes."

"Well, I agree with this." Miao Yan slightly clawed his head.

"Since you understand, we'll be able to talk about it." Liu Mingqi said, "In the short term, I have several suggestions, which should be useful."

"You said!"

"First, the biggest function of canal transportation is that it provides food and various materials to the towns and people along the way. It is a lifeline of great prosperity and cannot be interrupted at any time, so everything is based on normal operation as the first factor."

"Yes."

"Since that's the case, the rules and regulations of the canal transportation yamen have actually been very mature after thousands of years of tempering and practice, and there is no need to change too many terms. But there is not a place where there is no change.

For example, for the use of the canal soldiers, I think they should not be allowed to serve the canal soldiers for generations! If they are fixed to death in this way, they will not be able to get rid of such days, which will lead to extremely low work efficiency. Often, things that can be done well in one or two years are not uncommon, and it is not uncommon to delay for three or five years.

Then there are more important dredging and dredging work, which are all made by local civilians, and the local governments ordered to raise money and grain. This not only increases the burden on the local area, but also causes local officials to force the people to sell land and grain, which is extremely miserable.

It is better to use the tax collected from the canal transportation to do this. Although it consumes money, it will not disturb the people to a greater extent. And if you directly pay wages to the people, it will not let them work for nothing, but also improve efficiency."

"Wait a minute!"

Miao Yan obviously read a lot of information related to the canal transportation, so he immediately put forward his opinion: "Do you know why you didn't use the money and grain of the canal transportation to do this before?"

"I know, I just feed too many irrelevant people, and there are too many people in the middle to get a slap." Liu Mingqi asked back: "With you being in charge there, can't you let them be more disciplined?"

"This is not easy." Miao Yan had nothing to hide in front of Liu Mingqi. "They have become a climate. Unless I don't want them to help and start all the things I have, otherwise there is no way to do it in one size fits the whole thing, at most it is better."

"That's why I suggest you to abolish the Shicai system directly." Liu Mingqi said, "Use the employment system and then hire additional personnel if you have something to do, and you don't have to give them five insurances and one fund. Isn't this another place to save money?"

"What are five insurances and one fund?" Miao Yan was puzzled.

"Oh, that is, the various guarantee systems of our government, including sending clothes, sending money and grain, various subsidies, etc. "Liu Mingqi said: "There are 5,000 soldiers in the canal transport, and we can't move this, but there are tens of thousands of canal soldiers along the coast. After the reduction, not only will they immediately establish prestige, but the money you can use greatly increases, and they can also gain their sincere gratitude!"

"Um……"

The divine light flashed in Miao Yan's eyes.

What Liu Mingqi said was a bit amazing, and it was also a whimsical way to break the rules.

The system of canal seizures has been implemented for thousands of years, so how easy is it to abolish it?

But the effect after the abolition is immediate, which is very suitable for yourself to open up the situation and establish prestige at once!

Such benefits immediately made Miao Yan feel moved.

For Miao Yan, the most important thing is to firmly control the canal transportation yamen as soon as possible, so that the canal transportation canal transportation can be circulated smoothly.

If you want to achieve this goal, how can Miao Yan do not use any extraordinary means?

But the next moment, Miao Yan asked again: "The important role of the canal transportation is to ensure normal canal transportation, not only to ensure normal canal transportation, but also to bear one-tenth of the tax of the court. This is how it is convenient for the canal transportation, but if you use a lot of money, isn't the money you send to the court every year not enough?"

He asked the question again.

Why did the previous governors of the canal transportation allow local governments to bear the work of dredging?

It is because they want to save money and then transfer it to the central court.

One tenth of the imperial taxes was generally calculated in previous years to 9.6 million taels of silver.

The sensible governor of the canal transportation never gives it this way, but others give it ten million.

Then when encountering any disaster, the Governor of the Canal Transport had to give extra money even Lin Zhenyuan.

So where did they get so much money to pay for repairs again and again?

Not to mention, according to what Liu Mingqi said, all the canal soldiers were removed in one breath and restored their freedom, while spending money to hire people to repair and silt.

This is a big money!

You have to have that much money.

...

The situation is not good these two days, so I'm sorry.

I actually want to write about the canal transportation yamen including the salt government yamen to compare with which yamen in the court today...
