Huan Yanfan said angrily: "Cui Erlang, so many people have persuaded you, you are obsessed, do you want to be shameless?" โ
Cui Geng pointed with his hand and said sharply: "Of course this official has a face, but it is you who don't want to be faced, Huan Yan Fan Huan Xiangye!" And you Yuan Shuji and Jinghui! โ
So far, he is really holding back the fire in his belly, okay, he is still thinking about how to protect these people, these people actually hug the group and deal with themselves. Is it really tolerable or unbearable?
Zhang Cambodia advised: "Erlang, if you have something to say, you still have to respect the old-timers." โ
"Hey, respect? The official couldn't see that there was anything worthy of respect about these three people. โ
After a pause, Cui Geng continued: "Sage Cloud, Bang has Dao, Valley. Bang Wudao, Valley, shame also. Zhang Xiangye, you explain, what does this mean? โ
Zhang Cambodia's way: "This sentence is from the "Analects", which says: The country has a way, and you can be an official and take a fortune; It is a shameful behavior for the country to be an official and take a profit. โ
"Then I ask you again, "If there is a way in the world, you will see it, and if there is no way, you will hide it. The state is poor and lowly and shameful, and the state is rich and noble and shameful", what does this sentence mean?
"Uh...... This is also from the Analects. It is said that if the court has a way, it should be a leader. The Son of Heaven is in the court, but he is in the people, which is a disgrace to the subjects. On the contrary, if the court has no way, but the high ~ official has to do it, it is also a shame for a gentleman. โ
"That's right!" Cui Geng sneered: "Now that Yuan Shuji and Jinghui are saying that they want to resign and not do it, is that "Bang Wudao"? Oh, then the Great Sage Emperor is in power, and they are content with their duties. Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, they are about to resign from their official positions, is it not worthy of their service today? โ
"This ......" Old man Zhang is also unfavorable today, and he was blocked again.
Li Xian secretly regretted it, how could I forget this stubble? That's right, not long after I became emperor, the prime ministers took the initiative to go, which is not a good thing.
Yuan Shuji hurriedly retorted: "I can't say that, the reason why I asked to go has nothing to do with Your Majesty, it is your Cui Geng's greed for power, so I have to wait for it." โ
Cui Geng chuckled and said sarcastically, "Oh? Really? Now that the Holy Son of Heaven is in the court, what is wrong with this official acting according to the teachings of the saint? How did you become a thorn in your side? โ
"Of course, it's because you made a big mistake and deserve to be in place!"
"Yuan Xiang is completely wrong when he says that." Cui Geng stretched out two fingers and said, "First, Huan Yanfan committed a big crime and resigned, and the official can't control it." Second, the official thinks that he has turned the field into a lake, and there is no guilt! โ
"The world is people-oriented, without these fields, I don't know how many people are worried about freezing and frustration, how can you be innocent Cui Geng?"
Cui Geng smiled slightly, and said confidently: "Oh, this official is guilty of digging the Kun Pond." So, may I ask Yuan Xiang, what should Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who dug the Kunming Pool be guilty of? โ
"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is to train the water army, what is the use of your Dingkun Pond?"
"That's not right." Cui Geng shook his head and said: "In order to conquer Kunming, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty imitated Kunming Dianchi and built Kunming Pond to train the naval army. Now the question is, why didn't he fill in the Kunming Pond after the drill and continue to let the people farm? โ
Yuan Shuji really didn't think about this problem, and said: "Maybe this project is too big, and the gains outweigh the losses, right?" โ
"Still not right." Cui Gengdao: "In fact, if the Kunming Pool is not maintained, it will not take a few hundred years, and it will naturally dry up, and there is no need for the imperial court to pay a penny." As for why all dynasties and dynasties have to pay for the dredging of Kunming Lake......"
Cui Geng looked at Zong Jinqing and said, "Just ask Master Zong to explain." โ
"Yes."
Zong Jinqing is a master craftsman, and he still has basic business ability, and he will briefly introduce the reason why the imperial court maintains Kunming Pool.
Kunming pond water comes from the Qinling Mountains, because the gap between the Qinling Mountains and the Wei River is too large, these rainwaters are basically flowing away in vain every year, wasted, in the Han Dynasty, the use of this natural topography advantage to open the lake to store water, the formation of Kunming Pond.
It can be said that there is Kunming Pond, and the lake is a good paddy field. Without Kunming Pond, it is ordinary dry land, and the income varies greatly.
In addition, the annual fishing harvest in Kunming Pond is huge, which supplies Chang'an's non-staple food market. Economically, the imperial court could collect 100,000 yuan from the fishermen in Kunming Pond in terms of tax revenue alone. Politically speaking, people can't just eat food without non-staple food, right? It is no exaggeration to say that this Kunming Pool is the Dinghai Divine Needle of Chang'an's non-staple food.
Finally, Kunming Pond has the role of supplying water sources to Chang'an, providing scenic leisure places for the people, and even smoothly transporting water systems to prevent drought and flood disasters.
Therefore, the existence of Kunming Pond is much more profitable than changing this place into farmland.
After Yuan Shuji listened, he said thoughtfully: "Cui Xiang wants to say that this Dingkun Pool and Kunming Pool can play a similar role?" โ
"Yes!"
"That is strange, the Kunming Pool has such a big role, why didn't the imperial courts build the second and third Kunming Pool? I'm afraid that after having Kunming Pool, if you fix Kun Pool, it should be more than a loss, right? In addition, Kunming Pond allows people to fish, but you Dingkun Pond is the princess's private property, how can it be compared? โ
Cui Gengdao: "Yuan Xiang is really smart, building Dingkun Pond, on the surface, it is indeed better to maintain good land." โ
Yuan Shuji was overjoyed and said, "In that case, you still say that you are not guilty?" โ
"Yuan Xiangdon't worry, what the official said is only on the surface, but it is not the truth. Have you forgotten your official's nickname, called the Golden Sage? โ
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Cui Geng said: "There is no evidence, this official will show you the sand table of Dingkun Pool." โ
At the beginning, at the wedding banquet, Cui Geng took out three treasures in order to show the Lun brothers that the Great Zhou had the power to destroy Tibet, one of which was the sand table.
Now, the sand table has been applied to all aspects of society, and large-scale projects such as the construction of Dingkun Pond are of course also used.
With Li Xian's permission, half an hour later, a very delicate sand table was carried from Princess Anle's mansion to the palace.
The sand table of this Dingkun Pond is really beautiful, and people are amazed at first sight.
Cui Geng introduced: "In Chang'an City, there are two cities, east and west, and each city occupies two squares. No one will wonder why not plant crops in the East and West Cities, right? โ
Yuan Shuji frowned and said, "How can this official not know the truth that Shinong and industry have their own uses? However, Nading Kunchi is Princess Anle's other courtyard, and the east and west cities are places for people to trade, what is the similarity? โ
Cui Geng pointed to the rows of houses by Dingkun Pond and said, "Yuan Xiang thinks, what is the use of these houses?" โ
"Then how do I know?"
"It's no secret that these houses are places where all kinds of groceries are sold, and even teahouses and wine shops."
"That can't be!" Yuan Shuji couldn't believe his ears, and said, "Who are those merchants going to sell to?" You can't set the Kunchi to allow people to come and go at will, right? Could it be that Princess An Le spent 25 million yuan just to share Dingding Kunchi with the people of Chang'an? โ
Cui Geng asked rhetorically: "It's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, the princess is full of poetry and books, and is taught by the saints, why can't she share the Dingkun Pond with the people?" โ
