When Liu Sanwu arrived in Daning City, the old man's biggest feeling was that it was neat, an endless rape field, and the distance between each rape plant was about the same, coinciding with the flowering, the pale yellow of the water, and there was nothing superfluous to see.

Neat is a strength in itself, and it is not easy to do.

When the soldiers are neat, most of them can be invincible, and the crops are neat, there are no weeds, and they can produce a good harvest. Moreover, in the Central Plains and Jiangnan, it is absolutely impossible to see a magnificent scene full of colors.

Land division, a small peasant economy of one family, a maximum of twenty or thirty acres, where can it be so vast and immense, shocking vision!

The old gentleman finally believed that the Daning Dusi was a treasure.

"By the way, Liu experienced, the old man found that the fields were neat, why every other distance, the ridges, canals, and wells that were repaired were all the same?"

Liu Chun smiled: "This is the beauty of Juntun...... The saint left behind more than 30,000 troops of the Northern Expedition, and asked the soldiers to disarm and return to the fields, pick up hoes, and defend one side. In his later years, land was allocated according to the establishment of the army, and each battalion was a village, and how many fields and houses there were in a village, how many roads to be built, how many wells to be dug, and how many canals to be built...... All had a plan, and they just had to do it, and the soldiers were the best at carrying out orders faithfully. ”

Liu Sanwu nodded frequently, "Okay, it's really capable!" Although Liu is young, he is thoughtful and can do things that others can't think of, this is a young talent, a pillar of the country! Don't worry, the old man will do what he says, and he will definitely recommend it to His Majesty, and he will appreciate the willow experience. ”

Liu Chun smiled, "The old man is too polite, serving the country is the position of a late life, if you want to talk about rewards, I don't dare to ask for extravagance, but if the court can help Daning solve some problems, I can't ask for it later." ”

"Do you still have a problem? Say! Tell me what you have, and the old man will do his best! ”

Liu Sanwu is really satisfied, with a big package, and a generous appearance of giving and taking.

"That's the case, Daning Dusi doesn't lack anything, but the food gap is still too big, I want to ask the old gentleman for help."

Liu Sanwu nodded, "Of course food is important...... Do you want to give the court how much food you want? ”

"No!"

Liu Chun shook his head, "I don't want food!" ”

"And what do you want?" The old man is puzzled, he doesn't need food for lack of food, this kid doesn't have a fever, right?

"I want my way!"

"Road?" Liu Sanwu was puzzled.

"I need an official road!" Liu Chun smiled and said, "Boss, what do you think of this road from Xifengkou to Daning City?" ”

"It's pretty flat." Liu Sanwu pondered.

Liu Chun nodded, "That's right, this road is for the Northern Expedition, and Fu Youde, the Duke of Yingguo, temporarily mobilized the people to repair it, but due to the tight construction period, many places have not been repaired." With the onset of summer rainstorms, disruptions are likely to be imminent. So, I need the help of the imperial court to repair the road. ”

The old man took a breath, and built an official road for hundreds of miles, which was strong and sturdy, and the cost was not small, and it also required a lot of people. He, the Qincha, is only here to investigate the case, but not to build roads, can His Majesty agree to the letter?

Liu Sanwu regretted it a little, he was too fast, so he shouldn't have taken it all in.

Seeing that the old man was hesitant, Liu Chun was also anxious.

Although Liu Chun had planned to build the road for a long time, after all, he had been in business for too short a time, and his family was not rich, so he couldn't afford to build the road...... Besides, building cities and building roads, such a big thing, must be coordinated by the imperial court in person in order to be smooth and unhindered.

"Boss...... You see, there are iron factories, oil mills, sugar houses, and all kinds of goods. We don't need the court to give us food, relying on ourselves, not only can we exchange for food, but we can also live well. It's just that if you want to communicate with each other, you must build roads, and if this road is repaired, it can produce immeasurable results. ”

Liu Chun gave full play to his ability to fool and kept pouring ecstasy soup on Liu Sanwu.

Relying on the imperial court to allocate grain, it needs to be transported every year, and it cannot be missing at all. But after the road was built, relying on merchants, grain could be transported, and the imperial court only had to pay a little maintenance fee.

Moreover, once the road is repaired, it can also collect a lot of tolls to fill the local yamen.

"Boss, from Daning to Beiping, merchants come and go, goods are unimpeded, and the military on the side of the court is sufficient, so naturally there is no need to be afraid of the Tartars. Moreover, if there are more opportunities to make money, military households will not run away, on the contrary, it can attract more people to the borderlands, which is definitely a great thing for the imperial court, and the military expenditure that can be saved every year is considerable. ”

"Actually, you might as well take a more long-term view, my lord, you see, there are so many things produced by Daning Dusi, just a Beiping City, it may not be able to be consumed, what do you think should be done?"

Liu Sanwu is a Confucian student, where do you know what to do.

"Liu experience, what do you think?"

"Hahaha, Takami can't talk about it...... I'm thinking about ironware, beef and mutton, rapeseed oil and other things, which are also needed in the south. Wouldn't it be better if we could pass through the canal to transport the commercial goods of the Daning Dusi to the Central Plains and even to the south of the Yangtze River! ”

"This ......" Liu Sanwu was not completely confused, "Liu experience, I'm afraid it's inappropriate!" The canal is used to transport grain, and if it is used to transport goods, it is necessary for public and private use. What's more, the canal has accumulated sediment in many places, and it is not easy to clean up. ”

Liu Chun said solemnly: "Boss, I think you should suggest the imperial court to dredge and widen the canal, it is urgent!" ”

"Liu Chun, do you want the imperial court to help you dredge the canal? You can say it! Wu Hua, who had been listening to the side, really couldn't stand it, this kid was simply whimsical, and the lion opened his mouth.

The Ming court, is it for you?

Dare to ask for anything, how thick-skinned!

"Wu Yanshi, you are wrong. Over the past dynasties, the south has been rich in products, and the Sui, Tang and Song dynasties have transported the grain from the south to the north to support the capital and border defense. The people in the south blindly give, but do not get anything in return, so there are often complaints at this time. Now that the Daning Dusi also has commodities that can be sold to the south, the circulation of materials has changed from the original one-way to mutual profit. ”

Yoo Chun said as he gestured with his hand to make it easier for them to understand.

"Ordinary people often say that a slap can't make a sound, if you want to get things done, you have to be willing. What's so bad about dredging the canal? The goods from the north go south, the silk grain from the south is transported to the north, and the people on both sides can get benefits, which is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people! ”

"To put it lightly, it is to build roads and dredge canals, you have gold and silver mountains when you are the imperial court?" Wu Hua snorted angrily: "Lord Liu, I can see that this kid is obviously selfish and wants the imperial court to open up a trade route for him!" ”

This guy really has some skills, and he broke Liu Chun's mind with one sentence.

But Liu Chun is not afraid, he is playing Yangmou, and he is not afraid that the court will not agree!

"Boss, Wu is half right, building roads and dredging canals does cost money. But if these two things are done, the future of Daning Dusi will be very bright. With the Daning Dusi on the block, our defense line will be able to penetrate thousands of miles into the grassland! The Great Wall that was originally planned to be built can be stopped! ”

"Don't build the Great Wall?"

"That's right!" Liu Chun said with a smile: "If you run the Daning Capital Division well, this piece of Monan, the Tatars will have no place to stand, if you can get the Hetao back." The only way for the Tartars to retreat to Mobei was to attack Da Ming, and it would be countless times more difficult for them to attack the Ming Dynasty. All we need to do is build some beacons. How much does it cost to build the Great Wall? Save this money, I'm afraid it's enough to build ten roads! ”

Liu Sanwu frowned, and couldn't help muttering: "Don't build the Great Wall and build roads? ”

"That's right!"

Liu Chun smiled and said: "My Ming Dynasty has just swept through the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and the weather of the Sheng Dynasty has begun to take shape, and the king is in the world, how can I be afraid of the head and tail!" Instead of spending a lot of money to build a wall to protect yourself, it is better to build a road that can extend your benefits! Could it be that the current Ming Dynasty is still afraid of Tartars? ”

The strong build roads, the weak build walls!

Liu Chun gave it to the Ming monarch and ministers, a multiple-choice question that was not very difficult......
