After returning from the villa, Liu Mingqi began to write quickly.

As a result, just after sitting down for a while, someone came from the palace, saying that the emperor had an order to ask His Highness King De to come to the palace.

Only then did Liu Mingqi remember that it seemed that the emperor gave him a questionnaire a few days ago, and then he answered three consecutive "I don't know".

The boy originally thought that his incompetence would make the emperor happier.

The emperor didn't come to him for several consecutive days, and Liu Mingqi felt that she had guessed it right.

So he simply entered the palace.

It was already dusk.

After entering the palace, the emperor was handling official duties in the imperial study room. Next to him was the old eunuch Zhao Shou, and some eunuch palace maids.

fine.

No outsiders.

The young man stepped forward and saluted, "I have seen Your Majesty, how are you happy in the near future?"

Jing Hedi ignored him.

As a result, Liu Mingqi stood so embarrassedly.

He looked at Zhao Shou.

Zhao Shou also looked at him and shook his head gently.

What do you know what this guy means?

Eunuch Zhao is becoming less and less straightforward now!

Liu Mingqi was complaining in her heart while still being indignant.

Look, we are all a family. Just say anything you have. Does it still need to scold me?

Fortunately, he is a teenager. He didn't feel too tired after standing for about two incense sticks.

Then Emperor Jinghe finally put down the brush in his hand, raised his head, and said in surprise: "Oh, who did I think is here? It turns out to be our King De?"

Liu Mingqi really couldn't help it, "Your Majesty, can we not be so naive?"

"Damn it!"

The emperor immediately became furious, and his old face was a little uneasy, "Is this your attitude towards the king, father and elders?"

"Okay, okay, it's me who was wrong." Liu Mingqi admitted her mistake very simply, thinking that you brought me to stand for no reason, but it's still my fault?

Seeing his perfunctory attitude, Jing Hedi was particularly angry, "Liu Mingqi, Liu Mingqi, you said you are so tired! Compared to your cousin, you look like two in the sky and underground!... Zhao Shou, show it to him!"

Zhao Shou took a thick roll of paper from the side and handed it to Liu Mingqi.

When Liu Mingqi took a look, she happened to be the answer to the previous three questions.

Written by Liu Mingguan.

"Governor Liu Renhuai, Governor of Jiangnan, and Governor of Southwest, Ge Songdao, who should join the cabinet and become prime minister?"

Answer: I believe that Liu Renhuai, the Governor of Jiangnan, is highly virtuous and has a high moral character, and is worried about the public first, and is meticulous intent. He is actually the best candidate for the deputy prime minister...

"The Office of the Internal Affairs has many disadvantages. How to rectify and appoint capable ministers to avoid major losses in the past?"

Answer: I believe that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the treasure treasury of the emperor, and it is necessary to be the peace of the royal family of the palace. The Chief Censor Wang Zhigeng is upright and righteous, honest and self-disciplined, and brave. He is a minister of Internal Affairs. He can eliminate the disadvantages...

"If there is a shortage of prefecture in the imperial capital, who should take responsibility?"

Answer: Deng Hui, General of the Yulin Guard, was loyal and upright, quick-witted, talented, and rigorous in his military management. Such a person was the prefect of the imperial capital, but he was not afraid of Miao Taisheng's departure, which led to poor government orders and a stingy look...

...

Looking at Liu Mingqi nodding while watching, Jing Hedi looked bad and asked, "How is it?"

"Okay! So good!"

Liu Mingqi exclaimed: "King Ning is indeed the direct descendant of the great Confucian scholars. This article is well written! It is comprehensive, and the little minister is really ashamed of himself!"

"Damn it!" Jing Hedi refused to take his tricks, "Do you think I don't know what you mean? Isn't it just that I'm lazy and feel that the responsibilities of this position of prince make you feel very troublesome, so I don't want to talk?"

"Is there any?" Liu Mingqi blinked.

"have no idea!"

"have no idea!!"

"have no idea!!!"

Jing Hedi said it three times in one breath and didn't know. He slapped the table and said angrily: "What's this not perfunctory? You bastard! Now that the country is in danger, you are still exhausted. Do you want to piss me to death?"

Liu Mingqi smiled embarrassedly, "Your Majesty, I really don't understand these... Isn't it good to Mingguan? Go and ask him!"

"you……"

Emperor Jing He's chest kept rising and falling, making Zhao Shou worried that he would be furious.

The next moment, Jing Hedi raised a stack of paper, "You don't understand? Then why did you put so many tricks on Miao Taisheng and draw such fine drawings for him? Aren't you not okay?"

Then Liu Mingqi straightened her chest, "Your Majesty, I really don't understand these personnel and affairs things. But Lord Miao wants to go to Jiangnan alone. In order to better control the canal transportation yamen and make outstanding contributions to our Dakang Dynasty, I racked my brains to come up with something! It would be fine if you don't praise me, but you still blame me. Does this make sense?"

"It's still my fault?" Emperor Jing and Emperor smiled angrily, "You are better than Miao Taisheng!"

"Different, different, that is a real strategy and strategy for a certain matter." Liu Mingqi shook his hand and said, "What Xiaochen is best at is invention and creation. Doesn't the canal transportation include these? This is a professional counterpart!"

The emperor didn't know the professional counterpart, but he still understood this meaning.

He snorted coldly, holding up the artwork in his hand, "Is your stuff useful?"

"If it is done, it will definitely be useful." Liu Mingqi said, "but they need to debug more based on actual conditions, and then use more experiments, so that these professional ships can be prepared according to local conditions."

"Well, if you can clean the dredging at any time, it will greatly reduce the possibility of disasters." Jing Hedi's head slightly, "You have made a contribution...but!"

All right.

Why do you have to add one in addition to praise someone but?

Liu Mingqi quickly corrected her expression and listened to her teachings.

Emperor Jing He said: "What bad idea did you give him? To completely remove the canal soldiers? Do you know how inconvenient this will cause? The livelihoods of tens of thousands of people have been ruined by you?"

"Don't say that." Liu Mingqi couldn't help but retort, "They are living a good life now? Shangguan casually drove them, just like slaves, they did all kinds of dirty and tiring work, but they did everything they could do all year round... They forced them to do nothing in repairs and checkpoints, which ruined their reputation, but also greatly increased the price of goods. Is this good?"

here we go again!

Zhao Shou's face was twitching.

This Prince Yu... No, Your Highness, often talks without any magnanimity. Is this your attitude to speak to the emperor?

Compared to the gentle, elegant and polite King Ning, he is simply two extremes!

The emperor was refuted by him, and his face was not good-looking, but he could not refuse.

Although he was in the palace, he still knew about this. Anyway, the Caoshu soldiers lived a much harder life than the Caoshu soldiers.

He also knew that many levels of the Grand Canal were all indispensable.

But this has been something that has been around for thousands of years, and is it so easy to solve?

He calmed down and asked, "What did you ask them to do if they are cut off?"

"It's simple!"

Liu Mingqi couldn't think about it, "Didn't I let Lord Miao vigorously build a shipyard? The shipyard needs so many workers, and at least half of the canals can be solved. The remaining half can be used to repair and repair dams in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River - just like the tens of thousands of people in our Jingjin area, how can we be busy for three or five years?

Let’s talk about the rest of three to five years later. Anyway, staying anywhere is better than being in their original position. Not only will they live a hard life themselves, but they will also be a huge pain for the merchants. They are almost torture crazy!"

Jing Hedi was stunned.

Hey, this is pretty good.

"But the shipyard can use 10,000 or 20,000 people?" asked Emperor Jing He.

"This is their situation before, and they didn't know the benefits of shipbuilding." Liu Mingqi accidentally floated around. "The more shipbuilding, it means that we have a lot of trade with overseas. We sold all the porcelain, tea, silk, sugar, etc. that we continuously produced here overseas, and then transported various overseas grains, gold, silver, specialties, etc. back. Isn't this increasing our wealth?

Businessmen are willing to do business overseas, which not only relieves domestic pressure, but also continuously increases taxes... Now our maritime trade tax is only 12 million taels, right? As long as the ship is increased ten times, at least the maritime trade tax can reach 50 to 60 million taels! Even 100 million taels!!

Moreover, there are a lot of land overseas, and many large islands are larger than our province. Isn’t the population of our Central Plains too much? At that time, the poor people without land will be transported there, so that they can start their lives there again, grow grain every year, not only can they have food, but they can also transport them back to fill the granary. Isn’t this good?

How can we do all this without tens of millions of ships? Only when there are enough ships can we transport more supplies and protect ourselves in the maritime trade. If we encounter pirates, we can beat the sluts and rob the pirates. How great is it?”

When Emperor Jing He heard this, his scalp became numb.

This bastard boy is so sensible and extremely inflammatory.

I was very moved by the words and felt that Hai Trade had great potential.

But calm down and think, how can this be accomplished in a short time?

Besides, the things he said were too complicated, so it was probably not that easy.

The emperor coughed calmly and said, "Don't say so much. I don't know how many years will happen. The habit of drawing big cakes is not good!"

"This is not a big cake, it is related to whether our Dakang can become the world's largest empire!" Liu Mingqi said seriously, "Shipbuilding is the first step! As long as our ships are good enough and our force is strong enough, it can ensure the success of trade!

For the sake of future generations, if we don’t have five years, we will only have ten years. If you don’t have it, your son will come. If your son doesn’t have it, your grandson will come. In short, you can’t relax.
