Chapter 161

In fact, Gu Nuoer's proposal to build a canal was considered by Gu Yihan five years ago.

But at that time, he was busy fighting all over the world and killing people, but he didn't have the energy to make time to build the canal.

The further you go, the more difficult it becomes to have no canal.

The slow exchange of materials between the north and the south has greatly affected the development of the country.

Gu Nuo'er's proposal, after Gu Yihan's all-night thinking and sorting, he called his confidant ministers the next day to discuss the matter in the imperial study.

The construction of the canal is a major event. Although there is a possibility of laboring the people and hurting the wealth, the results are good, and can benefit future generations for hundreds of years or even longer!

When Gu Yihan explained to the ministers, he was very happy.

"This north-south canal will not only enhance the wealth of the capital, but also bring about more development and unexpected results.

In the future, we will have an additional waterway, and merchants' ships will pass through it. It's winter. Snow, the roads will freeze, but the canal will never!

The canal connects several major rivers in Daqi and spans eight states and counties. Apart from transporting food and medicinal materials, it can do more."

The Minister of Industry pondered for a moment, then

cupped his hands and proposed: "The emperor's idea is really wonderful. It's just building a canal, which will hurt the people in the end. I'm afraid that some people will complain, but it will be detrimental to the imperial power." : "I have asked the Ministry of Household to calculate the money. For this matter, all the people who come to build the waterway will be paid a monthly salary at the price of ten pennies a day for work."

Several confidant ministers looked at each other. It is three cents higher than the monthly salary of ordinary workers on the market.

In this case, some people are scrambling to build waterways.

Speaking of happiness, Gu Yihan raised his voice: "Yu Aiqing!"

Lord Yu, the minister of Dali Temple, hurried out.

"Your official morality is high, and your character is upright. I can trust your character. I will send you to the north as the supervisor of the construction of the first waterway this time.

Not only must I monitor the progress of the waterway, but also the local county governor, whether it is in accordance with my instructions. I ordered to give the people enough monthly salary." Master

Yu quickly surrendered.

Gu Yihan thought about it for a while with his hands behind his back, and called Chunshou: "It is proposed that the eldest prince does not have to rush back to Beijing. He will go north to Yizhou and wait, and he will also supervise the work together." The

ministers were all surprised.

Because everyone knows that the eldest prince has been away for so many years, and now he is finally willing to come back from the frontier, but he has been arranged by the emperor to supervise the excavation of the waterway.

Building waterways is not something that can be done in a short period of time.

As fast as four months, as slow as half a year.

But everyone understood what the Emperor meant.

He arranged for the eldest son of his direct birth to show his attitude to the world and officials from all over the world.

There is no more suitable candidate than the First Prince, who represents absolute supreme power.

It's a pity that the Queen Mother, I'm afraid she will have to wait again!

After everything was instructed, Gu Yihan was in high spirits. He rolled up his dragon sleeves and wrote four words "Jisheng Canal".

Give the words to Chunshou, let him make a plaque, and let Master Yu and the eldest prince carry them to Yizhou.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a hunch that a canal that marks the arteries of the people's livelihood in this dynasty is about to be born. You and I here are all witnesses. This river, which will benefit future generations, will bring unexpected good fortune."

Ministers They all knelt down and shouted the emperor's wisdom.

Gu Yihan smiled and said, "It's not my fault, it's the wise princess!"
