Chapter 384 Why do I do it

Chapter 384

Li Shimin sat there listening to Wang Hao's plan, very satisfied, thinking that if it could be successful, there would be no drought in the surrounding areas of Chang'an, and there would be fertile fields around Chang'an in the future.

"Hao'er, if this happens, it will be of great benefit to me, Tang Dynasty and Chang'an. Perhaps hundreds of years later, people will still remember this channel, which was built in our hands!" Li Shimin said to Wang

Hao said with emotion.

"Well, I just don't know if it can be cultivated or whether it can catch up with the spring sowing. If it can catch up with the spring sowing, it will be very beneficial for us. If we can't catch up, we can only plant wheat at that time, and this half year will be in vain.

Now!" Wang Hao sat there and sighed.

"Don't worry, you're not afraid in a year, and those wheat must be fine. At most, this year it will be a reduction in yield, but the harvest will not be possible. I guess tomorrow you have to remember to come to Ganlu Palace, don't worry, I won't cheat you.

You!" Li Shimin said as he looked at Wang Hao helplessly.

"Brother-in-law, I didn't say you were going to cheat me. Am I busy with this? So I don't have time to go to Ganlu Palace!" Wang Hao immediately emphasized to Li Shimin.

"Do you believe what you said to yourself?" Li Shimin looked at Wang Hao helplessly and said.

"Hehe, I believe it myself anyway!" Wang Hao said with a smile, thinking to himself, "You are so embarrassed to say me, will you believe what you say yourself? But Wang Hao didn't say these words, otherwise, it would be better."

You must be scolded.

"Okay, go to have a meal. I guess your parents are anxious. Let's go!" Li Shimin stood up and said to Wang Hao.

Wang Hao nodded and accompanied Li Shimin to the dining room.

After dinner, Li Shimin returned to the palace. When he got drunk, Wang Guiyong was also drunk. Anyway, Wang Hao was with him. After accompanying him for a while, Wang Hao left and asked his father to drink with his father-in-law.

The two of them were very happy to drink.

"Can it be solved?" Li Lijin came to Wang Hao and said to Wang Hao.

"It's logically possible to solve it, but I just don't know if the court will support it. However, I guess I can support it, right?" Wang Hao sat there, thought for a while, and said.

"Well, why did the court object? They obviously know that this matter is beneficial to the court!" Li Lijin looked at Wang Hao incomprehensible and said.

"Who knows, I have a bad premonition anyway, and I think this matter will not be done so easily!" Wang Hao sat there and shook his head.

Thinking in my mind, where would those ministers oppose, whether the cost is huge or the project is huge, or too many civil servants need to be mobilized, Wang Hao couldn't figure out, and didn't know where those ministers would start, but no matter what, this one is

Channels must be repaired.

The next morning, Wang Hao got up very late, and Li Shan was sitting at Wang Hao's house. Early in the morning, he was sent by Li Shimin, but he also told Li Shan not to call Wang Hao and let Wang Hao wake up.

When you come, you go to the Ganlu Palace.

At this moment, in Ganlu Hall, the heads of the three provinces and six ministries have basically arrived. They have just finished reading Wang Hao's memorial.

Li Chengqian was very excited, but his brother-in-law had a solution. Before he could find his brother-in-law, he solved the problem first and planned it. Then he would just repair it according to the plan. However, he still needed guidance from his brother-in-law.

"What do you think about this?" Li Shimin sat there and asked as he looked at the ministers.

"This is good, I agree with it, but this matter is probably not that easy!" Fang Xuanling sat there and said worriedly.

"Why do you say that?" Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling in confusion. It was not that easy.

"Your Majesty, I guess the ministers will object!" Fang Xuanling continued.

"Why do you object?" Li Shimin continued to stare at Fang Xuanling and said.

"Your Majesty, I will probably object. No one knows whether building such a long canal is useful. Moreover, there is also a problem of flood control. Your Majesty, the Wei River will also rise. If it is drought, we

Get water from the Wei River and dig canals.

But if there is a big flood, will the water overflow from the channel? Once it overflows, it will cause huge losses to the farmland downstream. The ministers need to evaluate this, and in addition, it is to mobilize civil servants.

Something about.

Your Majesty, it is the spring sowing period. Some places have water, some places have no water, and there is no water. I believe that they will mobilize them, but if the people are recruited, it may be unfavorable. Therefore, I guess,

Other ministers would use this method to object, and there is also the fact that where does the money come from? Building such a canal requires a lot of expenses!" Li Jing said worriedly.

"They will object, what about you?" Li Shimin thought about it for a moment and asked at them.

"I agree!"

"I agree!" Many ministers also agreed, but Tang Jian, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, did not speak with the two ministers.

Li Shimin looked at Tang Jian.

"Your Majesty, where does the money come from, how much money is needed, and how many civilians need to be mobilized, whether to be corvee or to pay for them, this needs to be made clear. Although the 300-mile canal covers a large area, it is really

Is there so much water?

This canal will become a waste canal at that time, or is it really useful? No one knows, and I believe that there will definitely not be so much water coming out. At that time, the channels behind will probably not have water passing by!"

Jian sat there and said to Li Shimin.

"But after repairing, it is useful after all, right? It can also irrigate the farmland, there is no doubt about this!" Li Shimin said to Tang Jian.

"How much farmland can it be irrigated?" Tang Jian continued to ask Li Shimin.

"This matter still needs to be investigated by the Ministry of Works, but I feel that Hao'er's proposal is right!" Li Shimin said to Tang Jian.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I'm making things difficult for Duke Lu, nor that I don't consider the people. I'm in charge of the world's wealth. This money needs to be used in practice. I'm worried that this channel may not be of much use at that time!" Tang Jian sat down.

There, he spoke.

"Well, has Duke Lu not come here yet? Perhaps only Duke Lu can explain this matter clearly!" Fang Xuanling sat there and asked.

"It's probably almost done!" Li Shimin said very unhappily. He knew that Tang Jian's consideration made sense, but Wang Hao also made sense for him to build the canal.

"According to my opinion, I still need to go to the dynasty meeting to solve the problem and listen to the ministers' ideas before making a decision! Let Duke Lu explain it to everyone at that time!" Tang Jian thought about it and said to Li Shimin.

"Hmm? Let Haoer go to the Grand Court to explain?" Li Shimin was a little unhappy at this moment.

Wang Hao is a fact-based person. He doesn't like going to the grand dynasty meeting the most, and letting Wang Hao go to the grand dynasty meeting. What does it mean? Let Wang Hao accept the questioning of those ministers, then what did Wang Hao do wrong? He needs to be questioned by those ministers.

.

The other ministers didn't say anything at this moment. After all, what Tang Jian said made sense and they couldn't refute it. At this moment, Li Shan came in and bowed to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, Duke Lu is here!"

"Let him come in!" Li Shimin immediately said to Li Shan. Wang Hao came in soon. Seeing so many ministers here, Wang Hao immediately went over and bowed, and then found a place to sit down.

"Hao'er, Shangshu Tang has different opinions on your memorials. I hope you can explain it!" Li Shimin sat there, looking at Wang Hao and said,

Wang Hao immediately stood up and bowed to Tang Jian and said, "Please tell me, as long as I know, I will explain!"

"Well, Duke Lu, it's not that I'm trying to make things difficult for you. First of all, this channel has a process of 300 miles, but is the water really capable of 300 water basin, and can the people downstream really use the water from the canal?

It is one, and the second canal canal can irrigate how much land it can be. It is not written in your memorial. This is the second, and you have not listed the cost. This is the third,

The fourth person needs, whether it is labor service or whether our court pays to invite them, you have not said that if these problems are not solved, I will not agree!" Tang Jian also stood up and bowed to Wang Hao and said.

"Well, let's answer one by one. First, the canal is 300 miles away. I built a large canal, and the outlet is also very large, almost enough for the water used in the 300-mile river basin. I calculated this.

Second, I really don’t know how much land you irrigate. After all, I don’t have data on how much land you have in various places.

As for how much you mentioned, I can't make a budget now. After all, I just studied this matter for three days, and many things have not been calculated yet.

The fourth point is that my idea is to pay for meals in the court and let the civil servants do things. After all, these channels are for irrigation of their farmland, so I think it is appropriate to let them work. Now many farmlands do not have water, and ordinary people

There is no way. Instead of waiting for the sky, we should work hard together!" Wang Hao stood there and said to Tang Jian.

"If you say this, I can't agree. There is no data on money, and there is no data on how much land you irrigate. How can I approve money? What if I spend millions of chunks of money at that time? What should I do when the court is?"

Tang Jian said with a cold face to Wang Hao.

"Duke of Lu, you should count the budget and the number of fields that can be irrigated, so that the Ministry of Civil Affairs can pay!" Fang Xuanling immediately reminded Wang Hao and said,

Wang Hao was sitting there at this moment, looking at the ministers, feeling inexplicably, and he couldn't help but sneer.

"Hao'er, how long does it take to make these things?" Li Shimin also looked at Wang Hao and asked.

"Brother-in-law, why should I do it?" Wang Hao immediately asked back and said, "I didn't have the obligation to do this."
