Chapter 611 Helpless
The emperor was very satisfied with the hearing. Zilan was still the simple child who bravely knelt in front of him to seek welfare for the people. He had never changed. I did not see the wrong person.
With pride and satisfaction in his eyes, he asked with a smile, "How can you spend money when you have money?"
"Oh! I have to help spend money. There are too many things I can do.
First, first repair the embankment and check the information. Many areas were built a long time ago, and there must be some unsolid areas. Otherwise, why would you keep flooding, repairing, or removing or rebuilding.
There is also road construction. The road is smooth, so it is not convenient to transport it on the road? Isn’t that money coming in a steady stream?
Article 2: Reduce and exempt farmers from taxes, encourage them to have more children, give rewards, give money and discounts according to the head, buy land with a large population, or reduce taxes, which makes it very popular.
Article 3: Shipbuilding, sea boats, river boats, ships, ships run fast. Start from a young age and work slowly. Use military personnel to escort them;
Develop the musket, take it back and study it yourself, and have a few cannons to load them. Go to sea to sell things and buy their knowledge and the secret recipes for crops we don’t have.
I also know that there are many places overseas with very few people. At that time, there were many iron ore and silver ore. Going to dig, it was all money. We have too many people to eat, so we went there to work. After a long time, we had children there. Who do you think that land belongs to?"
Zi Lan's head moved slightly forward and gave the emperor a look you understand.
Prince Cheng almost sprayed out a mouthful of tea and gave Zi Lan a thumbs up, meaning you are awesome.
The old prince raised his head and laughed, "What a girl, the emperor doesn't blame you for spoiling her. She deserves it. Well said!"
The emperor also smiled with his lips pursed, "You can think more than I do."
"We have money and have too many things to do. We can do whatever we want. Will the Tatar Kingdom dare to cause trouble and traumatize him?"
Zi Lan waved her fist hard, looking indignant.
It made everyone present laugh.
The conversation was very pleasant, and the topic was pulled back. In fact, Zilan had been thinking about this framework for many years, based on the idea of the treasurer.
I didn’t expect that I had the opportunity to realize it now. No matter who comes to host it, it doesn’t matter. What you use is my ideas and strategies for important things. If I don’t have them, you can’t play with them.
If a person wants to maximize his value and to make his leader unable to live without you, then you will never be eliminated. This is the professional experience you have learned.
Zi Lan looked around and couldn't find what she wanted.
"What are you looking for to get it for you?"
"I will write it to you, and I will understand it at first glance."
"Go and prepare."
The emperor waved his hand and asked someone to prepare what she needed.
Zilan asked someone to hang the map on the wall, then knelt on the ground and spread the paper, and began to draw lines. Each line was drawn differently.
As she continued to add marks, everyone gradually understood that land is a road of transportation, sea is a road, and river transportation is also a road.
The territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty ran through the entire Great Zhou Dynasty and also extended to the other end of the Tatar grassland in the northwest.
What business does sea transportation do, what kind of things you bring back, what does river transportation need to bring back, and what does land transportation need to be transported are marked very clearly.
The people present were all those who had worked in the court for many years. They could understand Zilan's purpose and ideas at a glance, which was very concise and clear.
After drawing this picture, Zilan sat on the ground and rubbed her knees, and kneeled on the floor and felt pain in her knees.
"Come, give me a seat and get some cushions."
Eunuch Li quickly served her.
"These roads leading to the Tatar grasslands are different from those on the map."
"This is the business path for businessmen. I have studied it for a long time and sent someone to ask repeatedly before I found out, but I haven't walked it before and can't be sure.
I asked my grandfather and uncle, but they had never walked, but they knew that there was a way for merchants to make sure, and it was dangerous."
In order to help my uncle, Zi Lan thought a lot about these things, but there was no way to confirm that it was true.
"It's hard for you to find this road. I understand the things. This is your dream, the dream of harmony in the world."
When the emperor saw this picture for some reason, he recalled the girl with clear and lively eyes that knelt in front of him and told herself about her dreams so that the people could eat and be rich and healthy.
I still remember that when she said these words, her eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, which was particularly beautiful.
Zi Lan was stunned for a moment and looked at the picture he drew. The marks were densely marked, and her slender fingers gently stroked the picture.
"Am I stupid? I'm pretty wild. I don't know if I can do it, but I don't want to give up. People always have to find some fun in their lifetime. This is my fun.
I see it as a painting, sketching out the pattern you want with strokes, and finally a perfect work."
It doesn't matter if anyone understands her. It's enough for her to know what she is doing. No matter how difficult it is, she doesn't want to give up. She is not sure which step she can do, but I have worked hard all the time no matter what.
"Child, how great it would be if you were a man, you would become my rib minister."
The emperor sighed long, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt a pity. He didn't think that women could not do anything, but sometimes he could not break the shackles, even if he was an emperor, he could not do it.
"Because I'm a woman?"
Zi Lan looked up at the emperor stubbornly, looking dissatisfied.
"Even emperors have things that cannot be done, such as laws, rules of ancestors, and the leisurely mouths of the world. Children, I am just a commoner who eats, drinks, defecates and sensations."
The emperor sighed regretfully.
Zi Lan lowered her head sadly and almost burst into tears in that moment.
The credit is not hers, the hard work is hers, and the most dazzling light is not hers, but others'. She only wants to be worthy of her conscience and persistence in her dreams. She feels very aggrieved but cannot be said and expressed.
Because she also has people who love and bonds, she cannot let those who love her be hurt, and she must protect them.
Everyone present was silent, no one spoke, or they didn't know what to say.
"This plan can be done, but there is another important question. How can officials control it? There is a lot of money and it is easy for them to get into trouble."
The emperor sighed and avoided the topic they didn't dare to face.
"Of course there is a way, starting with the Imperial Guards and starting with me cultivating their specialties.
Use each person’s expertise to train them, assassinate, investigate, track, record, fight, and refine and amplify the skills used by the yamen to track bad people, and become an independent department. Repeated training practices will become brand new weapons."
The person sitting there reacted very quickly, and the old prince took the lead in asking, "What do you mean is to monitor all officials?"
"Not only that, the knife is innocent. It depends on how you use it. The criminals use it to kill people, but the soldiers use it to defend their country."
