The ministers questioned.

If Li Yu didn't want to increase his money through the increase in taxes, then would he have any other way to get enough money from the people so that he could dig a canal?

They didn't believe it, they didn't think that Tang Yu had a normal way to get the people to take out the money.

So everyone is looking at Li Yu with a very strange look now, and they want to know what Tang Yu means. Seeing this, Li Yu said: "After the canal is dug, it will be used for transportation, and ships can collect tolls when they pass, that is, some ports and wharves, which are also very important places, tell the people of the entire Tang Kingdom that as long as someone pays to support the excavation of the canal, after the canal is dug, within ten years, they can make up for the loss by collecting tolls, and even, I can allow them to own the wharf." ”

Li Yu's method is actually very simple, it is angel investment in later generations.

If someone has a good idea and can make money, but he doesn't have enough principal, but the idea can really make money, then go to investors, let the rich people invest in this industry, and after the industry makes money, they will pay dividends to investors.

Those who have money can pay to support the excavation of the canal, and when the canal is dug and put into use, they can collect tolls and open docks and so on.

No matter what, even if the court borrows their money, after the matter is over, the court will slowly repay them with interest.

Li Yu didn't need to collect taxes to be able to do this.

After saying this idea, Li Yu looked at the ministers and asked, "What do you think of my idea?" ”

After saying that, there was a sudden uproar in the court.

"The Holy Lord's idea is really good, in this way, the court does not have to pay for it itself, and the problem is solved." "That is, that is, after the canal is dug up, the sails must be frequent, whether it is pulling goods or transporting people, it must be a lot more, as long as the toll is levied, it will not take long for those who pay the money to be able to take back the capital, and if they can't get it back after ten years, the court will pay them money."

"Yes, yes, and after the canal was dug successfully, there was a lot of trade, and at that time, the wharf and port were good places to make money, and I think they would be very active in paying for these benefits to those who paid for them."

"Holy God is really a good idea, such a difficult problem to solve, just like that."

"As long as money can solve the problem, it is not a problem here in the Holy Lord."

"That's not ......"

The officials of the DPRK and China were all in favor of Li Yu's idea, and even Wei Zheng, who had just expressed his opposition, felt that this idea was simply absolutely unacceptable.

With this method, are you still worried about the money to dig the canal?

Everyone was talking endlessly, and at this time, Chen Ping stood up and said: "Shengshang, the canal is dug to link the five major water systems together, among which the Qiantang River is in the territory of the Song Kingdom, if we want to connect the Qiantang River, I'm afraid it will not be easy." ”

After the opening of the five major water systems, the Tang army wanted to be like the Song State, just take the waterway directly, and there was no obstruction, the Song State was not a fool, how could it agree to open up the five major water systems.

After Chen Ping said this, the ministers of the court and the central government were stunned for a moment, they thought very well before, the money was solved, and there were not many problems, but now that Chen Ping said this, they felt that there were still many problems.

The Qiantang River is not easy to connect, and the Song Kingdom will not allow them to open up the Qiantang River at all.

"Holy Lord, this problem is not easy to solve, Song Guo will definitely not agree,"

"Shengshang, if you want me to say, if the Song State does not agree, then we will first open up several major water systems in our Tang Kingdom, in this case, it will take a few years, and when we need to open up the Qiantang River, we may destroy the Song Kingdom."

"Extremely, extremely, I think this is really feasible, within a few years, we can't destroy the Song Kingdom? Qiantang River will wait a little longer. ”

“…………”

Although the Qiantang River in the Song State was difficult to open, many people in the court felt that it was irrelevant, and they could first open up the major water systems in the Tang Dynasty, and then solve the Qiantang River. However, just when the ministers said this, Chen Ping shook his head: "It is imperative to open up the Qiantang River, first, if the Qiantang River is opened, if our Tang State wants to destroy the Song State, it will be much smoother, and we can go directly by water, it can be said that the soldiers are fast, we can quickly rush to the Song State, and then there is, once the canal is dug up, it will all be opened, in case we fail to destroy the Song State when the Qiantang River is excavated, then there will be problems with the excavation of the canal, and there may be waterlogging in some places at that time. This will make a lot of people suffer, so if you want to get through, you have to get through it all. ”

Opening up the Qiantang River is beneficial to their Tang Kingdom, and it is necessary to open up, after Chen Ping finished saying this, the ministers looked at each other and looked embarrassed.

"Shengshang, but the Qiantang River is definitely not easy to get through, how can this be good?"

"Yes, Holy Grace, this is not easy to do."

"It's too hard to do."

“…………”

Everyone complained, and Li Yu also felt that things were a little difficult to do, but he didn't seem to have any other better way.

The Qiantang River is in the territory of the Song Kingdom, whether it is excavated or not, the Song State has the final say.

"Holy Lord, why don't we directly send troops to destroy the Song Kingdom, in this case, wouldn't we have to worry about this problem?"

An official stood up and said such a sentence, in his opinion, since their Tang State is going to attack the Song State sooner or later, why not attack the Song State directly?

However, after the official came forward and said such a sentence, others quickly objected.

"For the sake of a canal, it is really inappropriate to rashly attack the Song State like this."

"Yes, yes, fighting a war is about strategy, we are not the time to break with the Song State, so how can we attack the Song State first?"

"That's it, that is, we have to concentrate our forces to destroy the Jin State first, and the Song State has to wait."

“…………”

The Tang State is training troops now, and what it wants to solve most is to destroy the Jin State, not the Song State, and the current situation, it is indeed not the best time to attack the Song State, so it is not possible to propose to destroy the Song State.

It's just that although everyone knows that it is not possible to destroy the Song Kingdom, it is difficult to face the problem of digging a canal.

"Holy Lord, if you don't dig this canal, wait."

There is a problem, and soon someone doesn't want to trouble and wants to give up, after Li Yu heard this, his eyebrows suddenly condensed.

This thing is already going to be done, how can you give up? "Holy Lord, why don't you go to the Song Kingdom and persuade the Song Kingdom to dig a canal?"
