Di Renjie was loyal to the emperor and hoped that Yunyao would help his eldest nephew. Unfortunately, Yunyao didn't want to help because his nephew wanted to learn from his father's checks and balances game. He didn't have the ability and couldn't even endure it. He was only eager for quick success and instant benefits. He didn't understand that being an emperor was not to command the world, but to save himself. He knew that he had to take risks even if he couldn't beat it, but he didn't know how to protect himself. He could only go back disappointed.

Even if Yun Yao didn't help, the emperor still attacked Wu Zetian. Di Renjie impeached her to go far and wide, spent a lot of money to transport timber from Baiyue Sea, and then impeached her to misappropriate warships and cause shipwrecks, and then impeached her to cause a large number of unfinished projects when she was developing in the canal industrial belt.

Yunyao couldn't help but shake his head after seeing this. He was so embarrassed to fight Wu Meiniang. None of these three impeachments hit the nail on the head. It was really a waste to spend a lot of money to transport wood from Baiyue sea, but as long as there is a reason, it can be completely evaded, because wood must be bought. How can you build a palace if you don't buy it? How can you build a warship?

You have to buy it, and you have bought it back. Is it important to buy it? It doesn’t matter, because these projects must be launched, and not completing it is a big problem. The project is completed but overspending, which can only be considered as the plan cannot keep up with the changes.

Sure enough, Wu Meiniang said directly that she did not transport wood from Lingnan because the weather was bad, the road was disrepaired and could not be transported out, so she could only look far and transport wood from Baiyue Sea. The use of warships was also for transporting wood. As for the shipwreck, it was because of the storm, and everyone said that the weather was bad.

"The project has been started. If the weather improves, it may be delayed for a whole year. Industrial upgrading has to be achieved. In order to ensure that the project can be completed on time, we can only do this. As for the unfinished ending, it does not exist. It is just that the delivery is delayed because the funds are insufficient." "The plan cannot keep up with the changes, so we can only choose the projects that can be completed and the completion is given priority. When the subsequent funds are in place, we will definitely continue to start construction." Officials from Wu Meiniang and her team directly retorted.

Yunyao shook her head after seeing it. This kind of impeachment is really painless and there is no evidence at all. If you want to doubt that the officials in Wu Meiniang's system have to come up with evidence, such as whether Baiyue wood is so expensive, whether there are a lot of false price reports in the middle, and whether the losses of the shipwreck are exaggerated.

If they can't come up with evidence, what's the use of blindly saying that Wu Meiniang and the others spend too much money? If they spend too much money, they also have reasons. They spend money for the country reasonably, legally and compliant. Although they overspend, it is also to complete the work of the court.

To prove that they spend a lot of money, they don’t spend serious things, they have to show evidence that they secretly stuff their money into their pockets.

Do you stop working because of overspending? If the project construction period is delayed, more money will be wasted. If you can't even figure out this out, the emperor will be unqualified.

When the emperor heard that they had shifted all the responsibility to the weather, he didn't know what to say. Because the weather was not good, the emperor also had responsibility. The response of heaven and man means that the emperor would not be smart, and the old genius would bring disasters. If the emperor was wise and powerful, it would definitely be a good weather and would not have any problems.

So the emperor looked at Yunyao and said, "Auntie, please say a few words."

"Last spring and summer, the weather was indeed bad, and there was a lot of rain. The projects were ordered at the beginning of the year, and many projects needed to be rushed. It was indeed urgent to need wood, so it was really helpless to change to Baiyue transportation. As for the overspending problem mentioned by Lord Di, it does exist, but the imperial court's accounts are clear. If you think there is a problem, you can check the accounts directly, and I can take out all the accounts." Yun Yao said what's the use of just saying it? Just check the accounts at this time.

In fact, there is nothing to find out. If they are really corrupt, they will not have too many flaws. If they really want to investigate, they should go to Baiyue and follow the boat, but the risk is too great. If they don’t worry, they may be killed.

If the accounts are not up to standard, Yunyao can tell at a glance, because she is the number one housekeeper of the Tang Dynasty and has control over all the accounts. Therefore, Wu Meiniang and the others' accounts are fine at all, and Di Renjie cannot find out the problem.

Seeing the silent expressions of the officials of the two major forces in the court, Di Renjie knew that checking the accounts was useless, and Wu Meiniang would never leave any major flaws.

When Wu Meiniang saw Yunyao say this, she knew there was no problem, so she said: "We did overspending, but we also wanted to make up for the losses during the construction period. If the project cannot be completed within the deadline, it will cause greater losses, and even the initial investment will be wasted. So we have no choice but to ask Your Majesty to understand how difficult it is for me to wait."

The emperor had no choice but to catch thieves and stolen goods, and to catch traits and gangsters. Even the emperor could not say anything about it.

If you lose, you can be said to be a complete defeat, and the carefully prepared impeachment has no effect at all.

"It was Di Aiqing who failed to investigate." The emperor had no evidence at hand. If he had tangible evidence of corruption and bribery, he would have done it first and would not have scratched his head. At this time, he could only say: "Then let's go to the next issue."

"We are planning to expand the production of steam looms, but the sheep brought back from the Western Regions, the cotton brought back from Tianzhu, and the silk produced in China are far from enough to support more machines, so I suggest that I cooperate with the Tubo country to grow cotton together. At the same time, we can also expand the breeding of sheep and import more high-quality sheep from the Western Regions. We can even try to spend the Mediterranean to find better sheep breeding. There are also silk that needs to be solved, so more mulberry trees should be planted." Wu Meiniang said: "I have submitted the detailed plan."

With the machine loom, weaving can't stop. Now the weaving factory in the canal belt has insufficient raw materials.

There are still many markets, but there are not enough raw materials and machines, so they need to be approved by the emperor, which costs money.

But the emperor knew very well that whether it was on a mission to the Western Regions, building factories, or planting mulberry seedlings, the treasury did not have that much money. The treasury's money could only do one thing, and it was impossible to do all three things. If you could do things without spending money, everything would be fine. His father had already spent almost the same amount of money. Although the canal industrial belt was in scale, it was also a lot of money, and the income and expenditure were barely balanced.

"There are other places in the Tang Dynasty that also require money, so we can't exhaust the world and fertilize the canal." Di Renjie said.

"Upgrading industries is a national policy, and it was formulated by His Highness Zhu Yun when Emperor Taizong was in power. First develop the canal belt. This is the development strategic direction of Princess Zhu Yun. Why is it 'tired the world and fatten the canal'? Moreover, this new machine is not built on the canal belt, but is set up in Lingnan to provide convenience for the Maritime Silk Road. How can we exhaust the world and fatten the canal?" "Mr. Di, don't slander the government's affairs and disrupt the national policy."

"Prime Minister Wu, Lord Di just cared about the world, so he didn't have to exaggerate it like this. The new development, whether it is Lingnan, western, or northeast, has not yet decided, so there is no need to rush." ​​Yunyao said that she had never asked her if she was placed in Lingnan.
