When I came out of the Qianqing Palace, the sky was already dark, and the last rays of the sunset fell on the palace and the royal road in the Forbidden City, pulling the figure of the old man.

A few old eagles croaked on the top of the main hall, adding to the bleakness of the lonely evening.

Liu Hong gradually walked on the royal road, feeling a little melancholy.

To be honest, he himself has felt that his mood has changed rapidly in the past year, from the previous things that were not about him, to now he is carrying so many errands.

I have to say that he is still a little proud in his heart, but in addition to being proud, he suddenly thought of how dangerous what he had done!

It is necessary to straighten out the military household system, levy commercial taxes, and re-measure land.

That's all there is to it! It's enough to set off a bloody storm.

Be enemies of the nobles, profiteers, and nobles!

It seems that all but the poor and nothing-for-nothing common people are enemies.

If the emperor can stand firmly with him, then it is easy to say.

If all these forces put pressure on the emperor, and the emperor can't support the defection, then isn't he a person inside and out?

To face everyone's anger, even those ignorant people will be misled by those who have intentions, and in the end they will become the public enemy of the world?

Why am I doing this? Where's my backer? Who is my real arm?

Liu Hong gradually frowned and thought about many questions, and came to the Qianqing Palace in a daze.

It's dinner time, but there is still a faint voice in the East Warm Pavilion, presumably still in the discussion.

After getting the report, Liu Hong gradually approached the warm pavilion, and in the spacious warm pavilion, the bigwigs of the cabinet sat in turn, and the elders naturally didn't know why An Guohou came to the warm pavilion at this time.

Unless it's a matter of burning his eyebrows, or he is here to eat, this is the impression of An Guohou in the hearts of all the elders.

"Shaft, I heard that you smashed Jiadingbo's shop?" The affairs in the palace, as long as Chongzhen thinks about it, there is no way to hide it from him.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's just our shop that he smashed first, as far as our armory station is concerned, right?

It's the Daming Royal Armory, you have shares! Liu Hongjian didn't care whether Chongzhen could understand it or not, and finished telling the ins and outs of the matter in one go.

Finally, I didn't forget to emphasize that Chongzhen is a shareholder of the Ordnance Institute, and Jiadingbo smashing the shop of the Ordnance Institute is equivalent to smashing the emperor's shop.

"Okay, what are you doing here, I'm still busy here!" Chongzhen glared at Liu Hongjian with some impatience.

This Nima is a family matter, and the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, but for this bit of, he said in the cabinet that it was really a good and systematic system, and he completely forgot that the topic was introduced by himself.

"Your Majesty, today Weichen was asked by the queen mother, about the promotion of potatoes and sweet potatoes by Huangzhuang, Shaanxi xi, and Shanxi, Niangniang is worried that the north is still as dry as last year.

Wei Chen thinks about it, and also thinks that this is a big problem, people have no long-term worries, and they want to discuss with their colleagues how to deal with the possible continuous drought! ”

It seems that the emperor didn't take the old man too seriously, and Liu Honggradually finally felt a little balanced.

In the past three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, most of the queens were civilians, or scholars, and grassroots officials, which can be regarded as the ancestral system left by Zhu Chongba.

All princes, concubines, queens, and concubines are all in this list, and the royal family does not marry with the family of Xun Qi, probably to prevent foreign relatives from interfering in politics like the Tang Dynasty.

But looking for it from the common people, the quality is inevitably a little uneven.

Take Queen Zhou as an example, of course, Queen Zhou's virtue must not be said, but her father and younger brother are debatable.

Thinking about it, Chongzhen was not less troubled by these two, so he showed such an expression.

"Well, this is also something I've been thinking about recently, all the elders of the pavilion should give their opinions!" Chongzhen didn't know if he really thought about it, and said expressionlessly.

Several old men each chattered, which roughly meant that they would either prepare more money for disaster relief, or buy more food from Zheng Zhilong, as well as the transportation of Jiangnan and so on.

chattered for a quarter of an hour, seeing that it was dark outside, and there was no end to such a discussion, Liu Hong became irritable.

Now the court has silver, doesn't it? It's starting to be spending, isn't it? gave all the money to Zheng Zhilong and the southern gentry, and then begged them for alms?

The silver in Taicang didn't fall from the sky, it was all dug up from the cellar of corrupt officials piece by piece!

All gave it to Zheng Zhilong, to the gentry in the south, if the Xiaoice River has not passed, and the north has been dry, how much silver is enough to toss?

Treat the symptoms but not the root cause!

"Ask for it! Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the opinions of all the elders are very good, and they are bound to have a good effect in the short term!

But if you want long-term peace and stability, you still have to build water conservancy and reclaim canals~! Liu Hong gradually said what he thought in his heart.

"Master Hou, the investment in water conservancy construction is too great, Daming can't afford to toss it now!" Ni Yuanlu, a scholar of the Household Department Shangshu Jianji Temple, said.

They have helped Chongzhen deal with government affairs for decades, and they don't know where the root of the problem is, but the construction of water conservancy is simple.

At that time, there were no excavators and other mechanized equipment, and if you want to dig a canal that can be opened to ships, you often have to collect millions of people and dig for several years, which costs a huge amount of money, which is an astronomical amount.

One of the reasons for the rapid demise of the former Sui was the digging of canals, as can be seen.

"It is not necessary to dig canals to build water conservancy, canals are not easy to dig, you can dig more irrigation canals!" Liu Hongjian said.

"Master Hou, even these canals are not so easy, they are easy to silt up if they are shallow, and the amount of work is large when they are deep, and if there is a leak, it is easy to cause flooding!"

This time it was Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, although these old ministers acted a little timid in Liu Hongji's opinion, and they were not sharp.

But I have to say that from the perspective of things, I think about it more thoroughly.

"If there's a problem, solve it! You can't always run away from the problem! Do you say yes or no? Liu Honggradually suddenly remembered the words of a great grandfather in later generations.

His meaning is very clear, and in order to maintain the basic grain output in the north, it is necessary to build water conservancy.

"Your Majesty, the minister will leave!" Everything that should be said was said, and Liu Hong gradually did not plan to entangle it anymore, because he was worried that if he went around and around, this work would fall on him again.

He didn't want to take on any new errands, even if it seemed to outsiders to be oily and watery!

"Aiqing, don't panic, I also agree with you on this matter.

The Ministry of Industry drew up a plan, from the Weishui in Shaanxi, the Fen River in Shanxi, and the Yellow River, all of them were recruited to reclaim canals, so that the water source could be diverted to every piece of arid land. ”

This is domineering, food may take some trouble, but silver, there is a lot of money in Taicang, Chongzhen was still a little proud after speaking, and cast Liu Hongjian with a satisfied look.

"You can talk about this matter tomorrow, and then I want to announce one thing!" Chongzhen suddenly became serious.

PS: Today's three watches are over, and I am still very unaccustomed to not smoking code words, to be exact, it is uncomfortable, it feels like your hungry stomach is growling, and there are skewers around you, you have to continue to code words, and you can't eat skewers as uncomfortable, but this time the determination is very firm, for your own body, you must quit!
