If he ordered a reward for opening stones, his father would know that he had decided to manage the canal. Therefore, he expressed his thoughts.

Then he explained: "Father, it is not that the ministers want to promote business, but they take out the money from their pockets and return it to the country and the people. Otherwise, the so-called take from the people and use it for the people will eventually be taken from the poor and the rich. The country is in a difficult situation and the people are in a difficult situation, and only a few people are getting richer. But if they force it, they will be given a path. Although some people will go abroad, the extra financial resources can be used for the people and less people will die."

It happened to take this opportunity to relax the navigation policy. But I was afraid that my father would not refuse, so I explained it again.

Who knew that Li Zhi pondered for a moment and asked again: "I'm afraid it's not enough."

Li Wei was a little surprised and immediately realized that although he was helping merchants, in order to cure the canal and solve the fundamentals of Guanzhong, even his father had to bow his head under this framework. So he said: "The development of water conservancy is beneficial to the country and the people, whether it is Dujiangyan or the Grand Canal, or even benefit the people for millions of years. However, the development of water conservancy is like treating diseases. The disease comes like a landslide, and the disease goes like a wire. In order to cure the disease, just use tigers and wolves to drive it away, and it will not be worth the loss. Therefore, our dynasty has water conservancy, and the people think it is profitable, and the country is peaceful and the country is peaceful. Emperor Yang built a Grand Canal, but the country was destroyed. It was just that the two canals were in a hurry. The two canals were huge and wanted to be accomplished overnight. Even if there was financial resources, there was not so much people's strength. The minister looked again and had an idea in his mind that he could not start all of them. Let the Guangtong Canal be sorted out first."

It is not easy. A Guangtong channel is more than 300 miles long and has been silted. There is also water for intercepting Fengshu, which is injected into the channel. The project volume is large, such as slaves through hard labor, and the people's power is heavy. If the construction is started in the form of recruiting the people, the financial burden is heavy.

Of course, if this canal is rich in financial resources, it will only re-didn the canal, not digging new canals. Once it is well-didnated, it will be conducive to irrigation and navigation. Guangtong canals are the main ones, and Wei River is supplemented. As long as the ship passes three gates, it can immediately reach the capital.

Li Zhi gave a head start.

Li Wei said again: "Then it is the stone opening. Several other water conservancy sites all require mountain digging stones. Without good stone opening methods, finance cannot support it, and it is extremely harmful to the people's strength. Many civilians even die because of this. The sons and ministers think they have to wait. Therefore, it takes several years to build. As soon as Suzhou Port opens, it directly runs through the rivers and arrives at the two capitals, more merchants will be moved. One year is not enough, two years is not enough, two years is not enough, and three years is just enough, and it is just a quick plan to keep up with the rhythm of opening the canal. With finance and new technology to open the stone, you can start the project below, first control the downstream of Danshui, then the middle and upper reaches, and reopen the Zhengdang Canal. At the same time, a new river is dug in Sanmen. If possible, open rivers on the two islands of God and Ghost Gate. Since ancient times, it is better to diversion than to control water. If the water flows smoothly, there is only the word "diffusing."

"But the method of opening stones..." Li Zhi was still hesitating.

These merchants are not easy to pay for money, and the imperial court has come to pay for it many times, but the impression is not good. However, if you can dig two channels to facilitate the profits of Chang'an in Guanzhong for thousands of years, no matter how much you pay, no one will object. It is also beneficial to the country and the people. With this name, merchants will take the initiative to pay for it more enthusiastically. But the key is the method of opening a stone.

"My son has already had a way to open stones...but there is still more good strategies." There is no way, so he had to test the black gunpowder. As for saltpeter sulfur charcoal or saltpeter sulfur sawdust, it is unknown, and the proportion is unknown. Not only this, saltpeter and sulfur also need pure, and I don't know whether this era can be realized.

Even if black gunpowder is applied, its power is still very small. At least on the elephant peninsula, there is a whole huge rock. You have to hit a hole and you still need deep eyes to put black gunpowder. Otherwise, the power will be small, and the impact during the explosion will all reach the sky, but the stone will still not be blown away.

Li Zhi asked again: "What islands...?"

"This is what I heard from," anyway, I used this word, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain it. As I said, I took out a pen and drew some topographic maps of the South China Sea, which was very inaccurate. The paramecium-style Kalimantan made him draw an egg shape, and Luzon became a standard long strip. But the terrain was drawn, and the ocean currents and monsoons were drawn. October to February were northeastern, April to August were southwest, March and October were the monsoon transition period, the ocean currents were in summer and southwest in winter.

Some are the knowledge I remembered, and some are the knowledge I can ask.

Not very accurate, maybe an important compass, Li Wei said: "Some islands are deserted, or a small number of natives. They cannot be said to be located in a barbarian manner, but they are very cold and bitter. In fact, there are many productions on these islands, some are suitable for planting, and some produce fruits, medicinal materials, spices, and even gems, gold, silver, copper and iron. Some large islands have amazing areas, which are equivalent to the area of ​​several states or dozens of states in the Tang Dynasty. The imperial court sent troops to occupy them, but it was not worth it.

It is better to let these merchants operate for decades, become mature land and return it to the court. They can not only open up the territory, but also not harm the national strength and people's strength. What the court has paid is only some false reputations and some fiefs that did not belong to our Tang Dynasty. After becoming mature land, they only need to send people to patrol the sea boats to manage it. This method is used to expand and strengthen the country's strength. However, the islands of the South China Sea are far away from Dashi, and because the people are small, they are beyond reach."

It is equivalent to the colonial management model, but it sounds very fresh to Li Zhi. It mainly does not require the power of the court. As for the Dashi, the Tang Dynasty has not taken Dashi attentively. In fact, Dashi is not a colonial management model, but a governor-style management model. These are two different things. Li Zhi didn't know, but he still had concerns in his heart and said, "I'm afraid that after becoming mature land, I will not be willing to hand it over to the court."

"No. Father, the hometown of the Central Plains is rich. The roots will always be in the Central Plains, unless the court itself does not act and the people are resentful. If that happens, not to mention being far away from overseas, even in the Central Plains, it will be divided."

If it were before, Li Zhi immediately rejected it, but it was related to the "national destiny". When he saw his son's simple and simple appearance, he did not mention it with ulterior motives, but after putting in effort, Li Zhi remained silent and finally said: "Tomorrow you will discuss with a few prime ministers."

"Here." As soon as the word "debate" was released, my father probably agreed. He said, "There are two other proposals for me, but my son is ignorant. Please refer to it."

"Speak and listen."

Li Wei said the matter of changing the ship and said: "And the quality of ships in various places is uneven. Every year, because of the shoddy ships, many ships have caused unnecessary sunk from the Yangtze River to the Yellow River in the canal. The death of merchants can be said to have died for profit. However, the taxes offered by various places, boatmen and civilians died because of the death of the country, and the losses of the country are all related to the court. Therefore, the minister had an idea in his mind, to send craftsmen, set up ship types, and distribute drawings to various docks, so as to improve the quality of the ship, which also reduces accidents."

Wei Hongji couldn't help but shouted, "Okay."

There are many docks across the country, such as the Wei River, and the number of ships manufactured in a year is nearly as many as the number of ships. However, they often sink and the losses are also great. Li Zhi pondered for a moment, and the freight rate increased in three sections. However, the accident rate may be deducted, and at least many people will die. This is the real use of the people, so he immediately replied: "Accurate."

It is a measure to benefit the people, and there is no dispute, so it is agreed quickly.

After asking about what he saw and heard these days, Li Wei answered one by one, and deliberately talked about the hardships of the Sanmen Canal Transportation. Li Zhi didn't say anything, then looked at the sky and said, "It's not early, and you have been traveling around for so many days. Go down and rest early."

...

Back at the East Palace, Bier came over happily and said, "Your Highness, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard," said Li Wei. In addition to the unbearable situation of watching the Sanmen canal transportation, he was very happy these days.

Wan'er also came over and said, "Your Highness, the swallows are flying away."

"So fast?"

"Um."

"I'll fly away and I'll come back next spring."

After dinner, Bier carefully bathed Li Wei and then went to bed. She didn't want to do anything about men and women. Once she opened her, she would think a little bit. As she grew older, she knew more and more people. This time she actually took the initiative to hold Li Wei, as if even a pair of tender breasts that were gradually plump were about to be with Li Wei.

After exercising for a long time, he let go of his hands and wanted to stand up and wipe Li Wei.

He stopped her, drew a circle on the cherry on her left chest, and said, "Do you want to be alone these days?"

"think."

"Why do you think about it? Is it here or here?" As he said that, he pressed it on his heart, and then his fingers gradually drew down. It grew fast, and the black grass grew, and it gradually drew on two pieces of soft clam meat, which was still very moist and soft and sticky. Li Wei used his fingers to draw circles on it.

Bier shyly didn't answer, and hugged in his arms.

...

After reading it, Li Wei was probably at a loss. The next day, he summoned all prime ministers and important ministers, including the ministers and ministers of various ministries, as well as the chief ministers of the nine temples, the chief ministers and the young ministers, and even feared that the censors would be unbalanced, including the censors and the chief ministers of the Censorate, and all gathered in Yanying Hall.

The two canals are not dug, but the excavation uses national resources, the manpower of the three roads in Guanzhong, Shannan, Henan, and even some soldiers and prisoners, as well as the finances of the entire country, all institutions need to operate.

Instead of talking about opening the channel, I asked about the other three things.

Although these three things are controversial, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. Li Wei left for more than ten days and was not so smooth, but the final decision was made. Many clauses were set up. For example, the grain storage in Jiuzhou was set up according to the specific situation of Jiuzhou. Then these expenses were not managed by local governments, but directly under the jurisdiction of Taifu Temple. The storage of grain belongs to the Sinong Temple. As for Li Wei's method of cutting civil and military affairs, it was not implemented. Of course, it also proves that the establishment of large warehouses in the local area was a fear of various officials.

Then there is Haishi and Mutual Market.

There were also various concerns, especially the mutual market, which established five mutual markets and three foreign cities. The foreign markets were located in Shanzhou, Fengzhou and Youzhou, but not in the prefecture city, but the barriers were set up by taking advantage of the dangers of mountains and rivers. Li Wei's method was basically adopted, but the number was very small, but it was also a progress. Haishi did not understand each other. Later, I checked the situation in Guangzhou, and there was no danger of military warfare, so I agreed instead. Not only did the mutual markets and foreign cities have a small number, but there were strict restrictions on the goods entering and leaving.

This was all expected by Li Wei. He wanted to relax his mind, not just for the purpose of making a decision, but what surprised him was that the taxes formulated were very complete, and even many "profitable" transactions were formulated with heavy taxes.

Li Wei looked at everyone and couldn't help but feel happy.
Chapter completed!
