The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 1173

[Chapter 1173 Build a new city]

“That’s not what I mean.” Zhang Maoshi opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But before he could open his mouth, he heard Fang Xiu speak first: “If that’s not what it means, what else could it mean? Let’s

put this matter aside for the moment. I ask you, all the military pay for the entire two years of the Shenji Camp will go to Where is it? Why didn’t the soldiers of Shenji Camp receive even a little bit?”

“.” Zhang Maoshi was startled at first, and then fell silent.

He didn’t say anything, but his heart was almost broken.

How could you forget this matter?

It’s over!

This time I’m afraid I won’t be able to get the mansion, and I’ll have to pay money.

Seeing that Zhang Maoshi was silent, Fang Xiu turned his attention to Mr. Liu Ge again and said, “Mr. Liu Ge, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. This Shenji Camp has made great contributions to the imperial court, among other things. How much money

would the grassland tribes have now without the Shenji Camp?

How much money would the imperial court send to the four northern states every day? How much money would it save now because of the surrender of some tribes? How much money was created?

Even a tenth of this money is enough for the expenses of the Shenji Camp.

But it has been more than a year, nearly two years, and how come the money of the Shenji Camp has never been seen?”

“.”

When Liu Gelao heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he didn’t know what to say.

In the entire court, from top to bottom, no matter whether it is the pavilion elder or the small chief executive, no one knows that the Shenji Camp belongs to you, Duke An Guo!

Even His Majesty knows it all.

In this case, why do you still ask the court for money?

It’s already a good thing that the court doesn’t cause trouble for you!

Although the current court has no way to cause trouble for Shenji Camp.

But in this matter, no matter how you put it, the court is in the wrong.

For a moment, Mr. Liu Ge really didn’t know what to say.

“Okay, okay, it’s just some military pay. Now that the world is stable, the Shenji Battalion has indeed made great contributions, but it’s not just the Shenji Battalion’s military pay that hasn’t arrived yet, the military pay for these major towns has also not arrived. “

At this time, Ma Wenhua, Minister of the Ministry of War, suddenly spoke.

When Liu Gelao heard this, he glanced at Ma Wenhua and his expression became a little strange.

When did this happen? Why did you jump out of nowhere to cause trouble?

He thought for a while and then said: “This matter of military pay is indeed a problem.”

After he finished speaking, it was gone.

Just say it is a problem, what kind of problem it is, how to solve it, and whether the money will be returned.

He didn’t say a word. He was obviously doing the same thing as Fang Xiu, pretending to be confused.

Fang Xiu glanced at him and said calmly: “Let me tell you, the most essential thing you said today is to solve the problem of where these people live.

In this case, I have an idea.”

After the words fell, Everyone looked up at Fang Xiu.

Although they sometimes dislike opportunistic people like Fang Xiu, they also have to admit that Fang Xiu is indeed extremely smart, at least compared to them.

A solution that you can’t think of may suddenly appear to someone else.

In fact, they have begun to look forward to what kind of method Fang Xiu will give to solve this problem.

Then, they heard Fang Xiu say: “We can rebuild a city not far from Kyoto Prefecture, and then build an asphalt road between the two cities, and then use horse-drawn carriages.”

“.”

When everyone heard this, they first He was startled for a moment, and then his expression became a little strange.

Obviously, they didn’t think it was a good idea.

Build a city from scratch?

How much money will it cost?

In this case, it is better not to ask for money in the first place and let them all go back to their respective state capitals, or else simply use money to buy all the mansions in your hands!

The words said are exactly the same as the words not said.

However, since Duke An Guo has said it, it still needs to be discussed.

“Many of today’s strong men have their own jobs, whether they are pulling rickshaws or building roads. These are all paid and paid, and the pay is not low.”

The Minister of Industry said: “If you risk However, if you initiate corvee, it will inevitably lead to a lot of troubles. “

Corvee can be done by various states, and it is not too difficult to recruit some people.

But once there are so many people from the Ministry of Industry, and so many people are gathered to rebuild a city next to Kyoto Prefecture, not to mention how much time, energy, and materials it takes, even people may not be able to put it together. All right!

After all, these people have experienced the benefits of building roads, and who can bear it if they are asked to come back to do corvee work?

It’s not that these Gonggun gentlemen are aloof from the world, they know human nature better than anyone else.

They know that some things can’t be taken too far.

Now, if we want to complete such a huge project, these workers must also be given money.

After all, since Duke An Guo started building roads two years ago, this corvee has existed in name only.

When Fang Xiu heard this, he shook his head and said: “This is the best time to build this city. It won’t be long before many people are willing to build roads. As long as they are given normal Silver is enough, it doesn’t need to be more than road construction, it can even be less than road construction.”

Hearing this, the Minister of Industry raised his eyes and glanced at Fang Xiu, thinking: What you said is easy, who would not like it. To pull a rickshaw, not to build roads, not to work in a workshop, but to come here to build roads, just for a little money?

If it were you, would you do it?

“My lord, today is no different than before. This manpower is the most precious, even more precious than materials and time. Building a new city can indeed solve many problems, but where does this person come from? And this material, Where do you come from?”

asked the Minister of Industry.

Fang Xiu looked at him and said calmly: “There will be many people who are willing to do it. Many people in this world don’t work.”

“But these people who don’t work have enough food and cloth to survive. Who can Are you willing to do these things?” the Minister of Industry asked again.

Fang Xiu said: “They have enough food and cloth to survive. It’s because of the exchange and because of the many workshops. Nowadays, the goods in the workshops are piled up like mountains, but they can’t be sold. “Because”

he stopped suddenly and shook his head: “These many things are interrelated and I can’t tell you clearly. You only know that this person will have it, and the materials will also have it.

Not only that .

, this city is not built to solve this problem, but to solve another bigger problem!”
