Chapter 424: The Words of Ghosts and Gods
Jiang Kui's words aroused the approval of many ministers, and even the most belligerent Governor's Office felt that it should be restrained. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhao Shu looked at the ministers and couldn't help but smile and said: "Everyone, rest assured, since the Kereh Department has been recovered, I will not use the sword, and the biggest thing at this time is to rebuild the Great Wall to establish the cause of eternity." ”
After Zhao Shu finished speaking, Li Gang, the middle of the imperial history, walked out of the train, holding a wat board, and said with a serious expression: " Your Majesty, my Great Song Dynasty overlooks the four seas, intimidating the world, with the prosperity of our dynasty today, the world is to take and demand, why spend huge manpower and material resources to build the Great Wall, the Great Wall construction, the imperial court needs to build gold bricks, Tianzheng Division needs to depict the formation, the government needs to hunt the beasts in the mountains, water the blood of the beasts, there are a large number of beasts and souls of death row prisoners under the Great Wall, each of which costs a lot, if the construction of the Great Wall is slightly reduced, you can build tens of thousands of more societies, build tens of thousands of libraries, we can also moderate the construction of the Grand Canal and the gallop。 ”
Li Gang has achieved great results in this school system reform, coupled with his own reputation, he has a firmer grasp of the position of imperial envoy in the Qilin Pavilion, and he also acts more in accordance with the laws and regulations, and even more loudly wants to be the Wei Zheng of the Great Song Dynasty.
What Li Gang said is also what some officials want to say, the Great Wall stretches for hundreds of miles, and the materials spent on construction are already an astronomical amount. Militia and prisoners, counting millions of people, these people do not produce, the daily consumption is huge, in order to supply these people's materials, the imperial court needs to set up a special city division, from the south of the Yangtze River thousands of miles to transfer materials to the north, there will be a lot of loss on the way, if it is not for the Great Song Dynasty is now the four seas are leveled, every year bumper harvest, this alone is this, it will make the imperial court bear huge pressure.
Now that the Hetao has been seized, although the pressure of transporting grain from the south can be reduced, this pressure will also need to be produced next year or even the year after when the Hetao will begin to produce grain.
Li Gang opened the topic, and some ministers made suggestions, but Zhao Shu coughed lightly, stopped these people's words, and said lightly: "The Great Wall is a barrier to protect my Chinese heartland, my China has been inherited for thousands of years, there are prosperity and decline, when it is prosperous, it crosses the Great Wall, swallows the world, and when it declines, it takes the Great Wall as the boundary to recuperate, so the Great Wall is not only a barrier to defend against the northern barbarians, but also the last retreat for my China to recuperate, there is the Great Wall, the people's hearts are stable, and I can rest assured!"
"Your Majesty, although the Great Wall is important, but it is unwise to work the people and lose money, the Great Wall can be built as an ordinary city wall, why bother to build it with gold bricks, or even marble from Yunnan, the construction of the city in the Hetao is already a huge loss, if the Great Wall of the Hetao is built again, the loss of the people's power is too serious, although a large number of barbarians are transferred, but these aliens are not convinced, I am afraid that it is a hidden danger. ”
Hearing Li Gang's words step by step, Su Zhiyuan on the side was about to step forward to defend himself, but Zhao Shu waved his hand and asked him to step back, and said directly: "Although the Great Wall consumes people's strength, but at this time, the Great Song Dynasty is rich and strong, enough to deal with it, I am in a big position, and hundreds of officials perform their duties, it is still the image of the prosperous era, the four seas surrendered, and I use it, if the Great Wall is not built at this time, how can future generations be willing to build, if there are one or two unscrupulous people, I am afraid that the Great Wall will never be built." ”
Zhao Shu's direct words were to use his majesty and the emperor's domineering to tell everyone that there would be no problems in the construction of the Great Wall.
When the other ministers saw the firmness in His Majesty's words, they didn't dare to anger His Majesty, but Li Gang still made a mistake, thinking in his heart that this was just Zhao Shu's great joy, which was a common problem of emperors, every emperor wanted to leave a thing that would not be easy for future generations, and places like the Great Wall were the most able to show the majesty of the emperor.
It is unwise to consume a lot of wealth, waste people's power, and even accumulate hidden dangers for the sake of Zhao Shu's great achievements, and Li Gang feels that he must fight for reason to stop this matter.
It's just that when Li Gang was about to speak, Zhang Junbao walked out of the queue and said slowly: "Can Lord Li think that His Majesty is so happy to build the Great Wall, so I want to ask Lord Li, why when the Great Wall was built, it was built when the dynasties were the most prosperous and the emperors were the wisest, could it be that these emperors are all great people, or do these emperors like to waste this money and people's power?"
Zhang Junbao's words were filled with a hint of questioning, which made Li Gang obviously stunned, and when he was stunned, Zhang Junbao continued to ask: " Lord Li, Qin Shi Huang connected the Great Wall of the Warring States vassal states as a line, which cost a lot of financial and civil power, but at that time, no one in the upper echelons of the countries objected, after Qin Shi Huang expelled the Xiongnu, why did he still send the most elite army to be stationed around the Great Wall, the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty revived and guarded it personally, and even when the Qin Dynasty was defeated in the last years, this army stationed on the Great Wall did not have the slightest movement to the south.
After Han Gaozu ascended the throne, he personally recruited this large army, and then sent heavy troops to garrison it.
In the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions were conquered, encompassing the four seas, but the Great Wall was still being built, and then all the dynasties, all the wise lords, the first priority was to build the Great Wall, Lord Li and your lords didn't think deeply about the reason?"
"What Master Zhang said is so mysterious, doesn't it explain the origin of the Great Wall, the construction of the Great Wall is to defend against the Hu people in the north, but the Great Wall has been built so far, how can the Hu people defend it!"
Li Gang glared angrily and shouted with his sleeves brushed. At this time, Su Zhiyuan of the cabinet also stepped forward and said with a smile: "Lord Zhang, if there is no Great Wall, there are places where the Hu people go south everywhere, and then there is no place to defend if you want to defend. ”
After Su Zhiyuan finished speaking, Zhang Junbao looked at Li Gang with a dry smile and said: "Lord Li, the Great Wall defends the Hu people, and also defends some inhuman murderous things, all the ministers are the elite of the Great Song Dynasty, and they must have heard of some things. ”
"Ridiculous, above the court, it is a capital crime for you to disturb the king with the words of ghosts and gods!" Li Gang heard this, and immediately roared, and the surrounding envoys were also in chaos, although everyone knew that there was a cultivation of the art of the divine soul, but this was a side door technique, how to be able to discuss in the court, the administrative measures of the court, and not to be misled by these words and deeds, otherwise it would be easy to cause chaos, Zhang Junbao's blatant remarks have caused public indignation.
It's just that Zhang Junbao was not annoyed, he stretched out his hand and patted it, and three tall men in golden armor moved a screen in from the outside.
When the ministers saw this scene, they were slightly stunned, and when they saw that His Majesty was silent, they obviously knew about this matter, and even today's court meeting was going to talk about this matter, and Li Gang's impeachment of the Great Wall just gave His Majesty an excuse.
