: Reimbursement is not

When Wang Hao was resting at home, it was very lively outside. The people in Chang'an City now knew that the canal had been repaired and water had begun to be opened, so many people went out to check the canal.

Some officials are worried now. They have been opposing before, but now the court has not paid for it, the canal has been repaired and irrigated.

Therefore, those officials were scared. The people of Chang'an City now pointed at their noses and scolded them for not doing human affairs and not doing things themselves, and also preventing others from doing them.

However, all this had nothing to do with Wang Hao, and he was just lying at home and resting.

On the other side of the palace, Li Shimin and the others had just arrived at the palace, and some of the ministers were happy and some were worried.

"Okay, everyone sit down and talk about it!" Li Shimin sat down and looked at the ministers below, feeling mixed feelings.

Some of these ministers ignored the people for their own interests, including Li Ke, the son who had hope. He was the leader. He even wanted to become the crown prince in this way?

"Your Majesty, I have something to say!" Empress Changsun sat next to her and said with a smile.

"Yes!" Li Shimin nodded.

"Haoer did a good job in this matter. Chang'an City has a drought and a snow disaster every three or two years. This year, the court paid for the people to build houses with green bricks. When the snow disaster comes in the future, the people in Chang'an City will probably not have any major problems.

As for drought, now that the canal is repaired, I have also seen it. The water flows very much. In the future, the drought in Chang'an will not affect the harvest. Unless the Wei River is cut off, it will be extremely drought. I think there is no way to do it without water irrigation at that time.

According to records, it is rare to see a cut off in the Wei River in a century, so once this canal comes out, it can be said that it will directly transform the Guanzhong area into a land of fish and rice again! Of course, I also know that the Ministry of Civil Affairs has questions about paying for the construction of this canal.

I thought, otherwise there would be no need to be such trouble. This canal will be treated as a construction by our royal family. Our royal family will pay for Haoer. In the future, this canal will be called the imperial canal. What do you think? Including the other states and counties, we will also spend money on the treasury. What do you think?" Empress Changsun sat there and asked them.

"This, isn't this possible?" Fang Xuanling immediately shook his head and said.

If this is really done, the people will have greater opinions on the officials in their court. Although they support them, they are also the leader of all officials and must consider the officials below.

"Yes, Empress, we are not against the construction of the canal. We have been discussing it before, but now it has basically been decided and will be repaired soon!" Tang Jian knew that he needed to speak out at this moment. If he didn't say it, he would be in trouble.

Although I cooperated with His Holiness to do this, I was under great pressure these days. The servants in the mansion didn't dare to go out now. After all, people outside thought they were the ones who took the lead in opposing it, but in fact they were not. They were just the ones who took the lead in opposing it on the surface. Behind it is the King of Wu, who was connected with those people and he opposed it.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this matter is not good! The Ministry of Civil Affairs will pay, and other prefectures and counties will be repaired soon. Today we must make a decision. In this case, everyone is also discussing this matter here, so don't worry, Empress, and Wang Hao will not suffer any loss!" Li Jing also said to Empress Changsun at this moment.

"Yes, Empress, don't worry, this matter has been decided!" Fang Xuanling also bowed his hand again and said.

"Well, I know that my son-in-law is exposed to the wind and sun outside to allow the people to irrigate. But many people in the court just want to make my son-in-law look bad, hoping that my son-in-law will make a mistake. If my son-in-law makes a mistake, he is also my son-in-law, Duke of Lu, and a minister of the court.

He did a lot for our Tang Dynasty. Now the Ministry of War has so many war horses, and there are more cattle from the people's homes. In addition, the Ministry of Civil Affairs now has more money. These are the contributions of our son-in-law. Now these contributions have not been rewarded yet. Also, the Wang family plow has also come out, which is very useful. These are good things to improve the lives of the people in the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty has never given me any rewards. This child has never complained. Is it a bit too much for you to bully my son-in-law like this?

I don't care about the affairs of the front hall, but I don't allow you to bully my son-in-law like this. What is my son-in-law like today? You have seen it. I just heard someone saying that I want to impeach Hao'er, saying that I have lost my etiquette. I joke, why are there such officials in the Tang Dynasty? Hao'er works in the canal and can't even eat well. Now I still have to let my son-in-law wash up and welcome Your Majesty and I. "Empress Changsun sat there and attacked the officials.

One is to make a frustration for Wang Hao, and the other is to warn the King of Wu and the ministers who followed the King of Wu that you know that you are doing such a move outside. If you unite in this way and want to pull the prince down, you know that you are also sure!

"Your Majesty, I apologize!" Fang Xuanling and the others stood up and bowed to Empress Changsun and said.

"I'm sorry!" The other ministers also stood up and bowed.

"Well, Your Majesty, what we are discussing is a major matter in the court now. I am a woman, so it's better not to participate. Your Majesty, I will say goodbye!" Empress Changsun stood up and said to Li Shimin.

"Okay!" Li Shimin nodded, and the other ministers hurriedly bowed and said, "Great Send the Empress!"

Empress Changsun nodded and left. She didn't want to pay attention to the ministers. The next thing was easy to discuss, and there was basically no objection.

Who dares to object? Now the people in Chang'an have water to irrigate, but there are not in other places yet. Therefore, they need to hurry up and how to repair it. The Ministry of Works is responsible for the money and grain provided by the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Soon the ministers took action.

Wang Hao was lying there and slept hard. He was exhausted during this period and had not slept like this for a long time. When Li Lijin came in, she found that Wang Hao was asleep. She was worried that Wang Hao would catch a cold, so she asked the maid to burn the stove. Although the temperature in the room was still OK now, she ordered people not to come and disturb Wang Hao's sleep.

Wang Hao slept for more than an hour. After waking up, Wang Hao sat there drinking tea, thinking about the matter during this period. In addition, he didn't know how His Majesty punished those officials.

The concierge outside saw Wang Hao awaken and immediately came over to inform Wang Hao and said, "Master, the officials of the Ministry of Works have been waiting outside!"

"Well, please!" Wang Hao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said to the doorman.

Soon, the concierge brought the officials over, and Wang Hao knew them.

"I have met the Duke of the Kingdom, Duke of the Kingdom, Gao Yi, and save the people of Chang'an City in the disaster!" A minister of the Ministry of Works bowed to Wang Hao and said.

"Well, why are you waiting outside? Why don't you come in? My Wang Hao's mansion is not that difficult to enter yet, right?" Wang Hao asked them with a smile.

"Dude, this, we didn't dare to come in to disturb you when we heard that the Duke was sleeping. Moreover, the princess had already spoken and said that no one was allowed to disturb you now, so we just wait outside. In fact, we didn't stand all the time. The servants in your house brought us a stool to sit down. We also know that Your Highness feels sorry for his husband, and we also admire and envy the Duke and Your Highness!" The Minister of Works said to Wang Hao.

"Oh, ha, my wife, seeing that I was back with a disheveled face, I felt so distressed. I probably saw me sleeping here, so I ordered it. I will give everyone a gift for my wife first!" Wang Hao said as he stood up and wanted to salute.

The Minister of Works immediately stood up and stopped Wang Hao and said, "Duke, you want to destroy us, but it's not possible. We can understand, we all understand. Duke, you are indeed not easy for you during this period. We have wanted to come here to help, but there is no way. After the deposit, it's already evening. If you want to go to help, you can't go. Please forgive me!"

"Okay, then let's forgive each other for their sins, okay?" Wang Hao said to them with a smile.

"Okay, Duke, this time we came here to continue the canal and repair it. But how to move and how to repair it, we still need to ask Duke what you mean. After all, you are also proficient in this area!" The minister said to Wang Hao.

"The court has agreed to practice?" Wang Hao looked at him in surprise and asked. In fact, he knew in his heart that he must have practiced.

"Yes, it has been decided, our Ministry of Works is in charge!" The assistant minister nodded and said.

"That's good, you guys wait a moment!" Wang Hao said as he stood up, walked towards his desk, took out the channels he planned, spread them on the table, and the minister and the official from the Ministry of Works came over.

"Look, this is the route map I planned before. You can take it. The flow of this channel. I calculated it. It can cover approximately 70% of the farmland. If you repair it according to this channel, of course, some places are definitely unreasonable and not perfect. You can modify it. This is a sketch, you can use it for reference. You still need to plan the specific way to repair it yourself!" Wang Hao spread the drawings and said to the minister.

"That's great. With this drawing, we can save a lot of time and repair it directly. In this way, the people can use the water from the canal as soon as possible!" The assistant minister said excitedly when he saw Wang Hao's drawings.

"Well, this depends on you. The people are willing to practice it. They will hurry up and practice it. You need to plan it in advance!" Wang Hao nodded and said to them.

The people are very supportive of the construction of canals.
