Ming Dynasty: The army is forcing the palace, you say that Lao Zhu faked his death

Guan Zhong read that sentence several times.

Did Your Highness make a mistake, or did your hands tremble?

Or is he old? How could you see such a sentence?

Don't use the treasury to pay for it? Don't use the people's power?

Find a way to dredge the river yourself?

Your Highness, what are you kidding?

After a long while, Guan Zhong still didn't come back to his senses.

He really couldn't figure it out, why would His Highness say that?

If it is really as His Highness said, neither money nor manpower is needed, then His Highness intends to use his soldiers to do these things?

The thought of using those elite cavalry to do these things made Guan Zhong feel distressed.

But he didn't think it was right.

If His Highness really plans to use soldiers to do these things, then soldiers also need to eat!

Thinking of the huge amount of grain and grass that cost him every day, he didn't believe that His Highness could get so much food.

In short, in any case, it is impossible not to spend money.

But even so, Guan Zhong's master-servant feeling with Zhu Quan made him intuitively believe that the words on the letter were not wrong. What 430 writes is true from beginning to end.

And Guan Zhong had no way to refuse Zhu Quan's requests.

Because Zhu Quan is his master, the information sent by Zhu Quan just made him think about how to act to cooperate with the lord as a strategist.

It is not for him to refuse or object.

Guan Zhong thought about it again and again, but finally thought that this matter must be notified to those ministers first.

After all, if Zhu Quan wants to dredge the river along the road, he needs the cooperation of the local government and county.

So, Guan Zhong put forward Zhu Quan's idea in the court the next day.

Sure enough, just as he expected, those ministers in the court almost fainted after hearing Zhu Quan's earth-shattering thoughts.

Dredging the Grand Canal at this time?

Just after so many battles, now dredge the canal?

Isn't Your Highness crazy?

The whole person of Tobe Shangshu is like a cannon battle lit by fire, jumping three feet high!

The little old man shouted almost hoarsely: "The treasury is now in a state of barely making ends meet! How can a canal be built at such a time?"

"If His Royal Highness King Ning insists on repairing the canal, then the Ming Dynasty will probably be buried in his hands like Emperor Yang of Sui!"

As soon as Tobe Shangshu mentioned money, he was irrational.

No matter who it is, if you want to get the money in his hands, it's a fool's dream!

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu is also strongly opposed to this matter.

"The repair of the Grand Canal is not an overnight effort, it is impossible without three or five years, and it is difficult to recruit craftsmen for the river alone, not to mention those coolies who dredge the river, which require the people to bear heavy labor. "

"In such a spring ploughing season, you can't delay the farming time!"

Other ministers were also opposed.

"Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty renovated the canal and buried the rivers and mountains, which is already a lesson from the past, and His Royal Highness must not follow suit!"

"Lord Guan, you must persuade Your Highness, when it comes to the country, you must not be so childish!"

In the end, some ministers have already pointed the finger at Guan Zhong.

They sincerely hoped that Guan Zhong could persuade King Ning well.

After all, in their eyes, the relationship between Guan Zhong and Zhu Quan is more intimate. Perhaps King Ning was willing to listen to Guan Zhong's admonition.

Facing the hopeful gaze of the ministers, Guan Zhong was silent.

Since being summoned to this world, Guan Zhong has taken the time to complete the history he didn't know.

So he naturally knew the deeds of the so-called Emperor Yang of Sui.

Truth be told, when he saw the letter, his first reaction was the same.

What His Royal Highness did was no different from Emperor Yang of Sui in history.

All of them were carried out at a time when the treasury did not have much surplus. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

But then he changed his mind.

Because Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty really recruited (caag) to do this kind of thing with the people, but the lord he served was not.

In this regard, the difference is huge.

So, in the strong condemnation of the ministers, Guan Zhong still slowly spoke.

"You don't have to worry, Your Highness must have made this move with thorough consideration. "

When the ministers heard that Guan Zhong was actually on Zhu Quan's side and supported the practice of dredging the canal, they immediately glared angrily.

"What thoughtfulness?"

"So far, what else do you have to think about?"

"Isn't the situation with the treasury clear enough?"

Guan Zhong opened his mouth and said: "In His Highness's letter, it is claimed that the dredging of the river does not cost money from the treasury, and there is no need to levy and issue conscription, and His Highness will find a way to solve the problem. "

As soon as Guan Zhong said this, the entire court was silent.

The ministers stared at Guan Zhong in disbelief, they couldn't believe what they had heard!

These words are incredible!

They've lived for so many years, and they've never heard of anything like this!

What does this accomplish without money and people?

Tobe Shangshu immediately asked, "What is the reason for not having to withdraw money from the treasury?

The other ministers also chimed in: "It takes 100,000 coolies to dredge the river, where can Your Highness find such a large number of people?"

At this time, some people suddenly thought that when it comes to people, King Ning is the most lacking, after all, there are more soldiers in people's hands.

"Could it be that His Highness wants to call in soldiers to dredge the river?"

In this way, it is clear that King Ning said that he did not want manpower.

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu shook his head and said, "Let's not mention that some craftsmen are needed to comb the river, even if those soldiers are allowed to work as coolies, they still have to eat, where will these grains and grass be used to plant trees? "

When Hubu Shangshu heard that he still wanted money, he immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, those soldiers always have to eat, could it be that those soldiers follow His Highness to drink the northwest wind?"

The current performance of everyone is the same as that of the previous Guan Zhong.

No matter how they wanted to break their heads, they couldn't think of any way to make King Ning dredge the river without spending money or requisitioning people.

It's as ridiculous as saying that people can work without eating!

The ministers were noisy and shouting, but they didn't believe what Zhu Quan said.

At this time, Guan Zhong, who listened to their various speeches, was filled with joy in his heart.

Fortunately, King Ning is not here now, otherwise these chattering ministers must be dragged down.

There were also some ministers who were still sensible, but they were silent and did not speak.

Today's court is basically controlled by Guan Zhong, and Guan Zhong is loyal to King Ning, who knows if what they say will be recorded by Guan Zhong and sent to King Ning?

Besides, looking at Guan Zhong's calm appearance, King Ning clearly has a backhand!

One person asked, "Lord Guan, what is the specific method that His Royal Highness King Ning said?"
