"Well, it's a solution." Li Er nodded slightly, and his eyes turned to the rest of the people.

"The prince's words... need to be verified."

"Something makes sense."

"With that being said, dredging also requires a fee. Where does this money come from?"

The old guys expressed their opinions in Li Er's eyes and showed their abilities, especially Du Ruhui's question about money is the most critical.

"Yes, Keming is very worried. Prince, don't talk nonsense, just sit down and listen honestly." Li Er also felt that Lao Du was right. It also costs wages to go to clean the dredging. What's the difference between this and continuing to make salt diced? It's just a change of soup and no medicine.

Li Chengqian also felt wronged. How could the old man shamelessly turn his hands on the clouds and turn his hands on the rain? He was obviously called out by him, so how could he do it like he stood up on his own initiative?

Moreover, these old men actually treated ignorance as interesting and followed Lao Li to condemn themselves young and ignorant. In this case, if they don’t give them a blowjob, the prince will not need to be the future, and they will be the grandson.

"Uncle Du, what if Chengqian had a way to solve the problem of money?" Li Chengqian said, looking at the newly promoted Minister of the Procuratorate and the Personnel Department of the Procuratorate, Du Yan.

This old guy was born as a censor and was very powerful in verbal battles. He was the most fiercer group of old people.

"If Your Highness can solve the problem of money, I am willing to bet on the position of Shangshu." Although the old man is old, he is not stupid at all. Although he is not good at money or not, there are always people in the 'office'.

Since so many people can't solve it, the old guy believes that the solution Li Chengqian said must be a whimsical move.

"Uncle Du's words are serious, and the position of Shangshu is personally taught by the Emperor. You don't have to say whether you do it or not, and you don't have to say it." Li Chengqian shook his head and denied Du Yan's bet.

Then he continued, "But Chengqian has become a little dirty with the Wang family these days. If uncle loses, what will happen to Chengqian in the future?"

Du Yan also reacted at this time. He said something too much. He glanced at Old Li and found that there was no displeasure. He said to Li Chengqian: "Okay, one word is certain."

"Uncle Du thinks that land transportation labor is or canal transportation labor is?" Li Chengqian glanced at everyone and asked Du Yan.

"Of course it's the canal transport." Du Yan replied.

The convenience of canal transportation is obvious. The goods that a ship can carry are not comparable to those of a pack horse, not to mention that there will be various losses when transporting a pack horse.

"Since it is labor in the canal transportation industry, it is not a big problem to let merchants take out part of the saved expenses to maintain the river channel, right?" Li Chengqian remembered that there was a 'traffic maintenance fee' in later generations, and it should not be a big problem to use it in the Tang Dynasty.

"This..." Du Yan couldn't answer Li Chengqian's question for a moment.

"This is a virtuous cycle. As long as the river channel is clean, the canal transportation will naturally develop and the fees will be collected will increase." Li Chengqian said with a victorious smile on his face.

"Your Highness, although the method is good, a large number of people are coming down at a time. This requires a lot of money. It is probably not enough to rely on the 'long flow'." Du Ruhui has been dealing with government affairs for many years and has rich experience, so he directly pointed out the loopholes in Li Chengqian's words.

"Then charge an annual fee. The Ministry of Civil Affairs will calculate it specifically to see how much is appropriate. The first time you charge it is as long as it can meet 70% of the salary of salt and cubes." Li Er reacted faster after all, and Li Chengqian said it again, and directly proposed the concept of annual payment.

It can be seen that from ancient times to the present, the superiors seem to have similar ideas.

"I lost." Old Li made the decision, and things were finalized, and Du Yan naturally knew that he had no chance of winning. However, Old Du Yan suddenly had another thought in his mind: Isn't today's discussion of the matter a salt law? When did it turn into a canal transportation?

"It doesn't matter if you win or lose, just don't forget to make a promise." Li Chengqian didn't say much, but just reminded him that he thought he was 'good intention'.

"Okay, let's get here today." Li Er saw that old man Du Yan was shaking, and he was obviously a little about to collapse. He quickly spoke to end the matter. Otherwise, if he continued to discuss it, he was afraid that his own gangster would be able to lie down a few more.

"I'm going to leave." The old guys looked at Du Yan with a fool, and they were so angry that they trembled. They all stood up and left with tactfulness, and quickly left.

"Tell me, what's wrong with that Wang Wenzhao!" After everyone was exposed, Li Erhui left the palace maid who was serving in the room before asking.

"Uh, my father understands?" Li Chengqian said awkwardly.

"How could I not know that he was the eldest grandson of the Wang family and he might inherit the head of the family in the future." Lao Li's face was gloomy.

"So what? Father, my son and I have thought about it these days. Perhaps it is because we are too compromising with the aristocratic family that makes them so rampant now." Li Chengqian said seriously.

"Do you think I don't know? I think I don't want to kill all the borers in those countries? But what should I do after I kill them? The officials of the Tang Dynasty are going to go to 70 to 800 yuan. Who will deal with political affairs? Is it up to Cheng's old man?" After turning his son, Old Li said hatefully.

"But..." Li Chengqian planned to defend himself.

"But what? If you have officials who can handle political affairs now, there are not many. You can get 50% of them now. I will kill you immediately. Do you have it?" Li Er interrupted Li Chengqian and said with a very fast speech.

Looking at Li Chengqian who was silent, Li Er thought about it and suppressed his anger and said slowly: "Forget it this time, Wang Wenzhao will die if he dies. Anyway, he is a playboy. The Wang family will not really turn against him completely because of him, but remember to do things in the future.

"My son remember," Li Chengqian replied respectfully, but the indifferent expression on his face began to hurt his toothache again in Li Er's eyes.

Li Er was also full of contradictions at this time. In his opinion, Li Chengqian's actions were definitely a manifestation of political failure. What it means as a crown prince of the Tang Dynasty was obvious, so this disappointed Comrade Li very much.

But from another perspective, Li Chengqian's actions are also gratifying for Lao Li.

Although Li Chengqian's various practices in the past were enough to be a benevolent king, they were too weak, so they could easily be influenced by those with ulterior motives, especially when political immatureness, which made Comrade Li always have a little concern about the future.

Therefore, Lao Li himself couldn't tell whether he should be happy or angry about all Li Chengqian's current behavior. Everything can only be left to be observed slowly in the future.
