Zhu Yunwen was almost dumbfounded. You call this water control strategy ordinary?
Zhu Yuanzhang knew how steady Zhu Yunhao was. Fifty years? He silently added another point…
Even if it was less than a hundred years, it would still be an extremely glorious project.
If he wanted the Ming Dynasty to be passed down through the ages, he could not ignore the problem of irrigation.
"Pin 'er, how much money and food do you need to control the water according to your method?”
"I've already done the calculations. Including all the laborers and cement, be more prudent. The pouring ratio is 120%. In this case, it will cost 3.6 million strings of treasure notes!”
"And 200,000 civilians."
3.6 million…
Zhu Yuanzhang's heart skipped a beat. After deducting some of the taxes, it was still more than three million yuan. The taxes of the Ming Dynasty were mainly based on material taxes. In the early days of the founding of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang paid whatever he planted for convenience.
In the end, the money he collected every year could be counted on one hand.
This was indeed not a small amount.
"Qin Da, I will give you three million as soon as possible. Listen up, you will be in charge of everything!”
'It's winter now, so we can recruit civilian workers. The Ministry of Revenue will cooperate with us on this matter.”
"With the help of cement, the speed will definitely be much faster!”
"I'm telling you to finish it as soon as possible!”
Qin Da and Zhao Mian immediately knelt down." We will obey."”
Zhu Yunwen looked dispirited. Zhu Yuanzhang's decree meant that the outcome was decided.
However, he did not want Zhu Yunhao to take all the credit for himself, so he hurriedly left the class."Imperial Grandfather, your grandson has something to add.”
"Pin 'er's plan is already so perfect, what else can you add?”
"When we were training the river, Lu Wu suggested that we could weave several hundred feet of straw rope into a straw mat, then put it into the water and instantly pour in the sand.”
"With the straw mat as a barrier, the gap can be quickly blocked!”
"I believe that this method will be helpful in harnessing the river.”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded." That's a good idea. What do you think, Pin 'er?”
"Imperial Grandfather, there's cement here, so why do you need to make it so fancy?”
"I don't think it's necessary at all!"
"That's true." Zhu Yunwen denied it with one sentence.
Zhu Yunwen was anxious." Also, I think we can let the Water Transport Governor Qin Kewang participate. He knows the canal well. If he works with Sikong One, we will get twice the result with half the effort!"”
The governor only became an official official position during the Xuande period, but the water transport governor came out during the Hongwu period.
It was set up by Zhu Yuanzhang in order to facilitate the management of water conservancy in the world.
"This is a good suggestion."
Then, he turned around and saw Zhu Yunhao waving the water map.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and immediately understood,"With the water map, there is no need for Qin Kewang."”
Zhu Yunwen's heart was filled with hatred. She glared at Kuai Xiang,"Imperial Grandfather, this is different."”
"The Great Ming Dynasty is thousands of miles from east to west, north to south. How much of it can be shown on the water map? Only Qin Kewang knew where the river was narrow, where it was wide, and where there were hidden reefs!”
Zhu Yunwen obviously wanted to intervene.
Zhu Yunhao did not let him get what he wanted.
"Alright, let Qin…"
"Imperial Grandfather, if Qin Kewang wasn't here, this project would have a 90% chance of success!”
"If Qin Kewang is included, then it will only be 50%.”
"Why?"
Zhu Yunhao looked into his sleeves and found a memorial after rummaging for a long time." The Governor of Water Transport, Qin Kewang, is an old man of the Yuan Dynasty. He surrendered when Xu Da went to the north. Because he was related to Guo Shoujing, Imperial Grandfather allowed him to enter the Ministry of Works first!”
'After that, he was promoted to the position of the Water Transport Governor with the title of Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Works. It can be said that the emperor's grace is vast!'
"Now, thousands of sails have passed through the canal, and the ships cover the sky.”
"Third brother, doesn't this show how capable Qin Kewang is?”
Zhu Yunhao ignored him." But I'm afraid you don't know that among those thousand sailboats, most of them are merchant ships used by Qin Kewang to transport goods!"”
"What?"
"He sent the merchant ships to the north under the name of grain ships, and then transported the goods from the north to sell in the south without paying any taxes.”
"After so many years, he has already earned a lot!”
"Everyone in the world says that there are two great jobs in the Great Ming Dynasty. One is the Huainan City Salt Transport Commissioner, and the other is the Water Transport Governor!”
"Moreover, those grain ships are damaged. If he simply deducted some and said that they were damaged, who in the Imperial Court would know?”
"Imperial Grandfather, starting from the eleventh year of Hongwu, there was a deduction of 196,504 dans!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
There were zeros and zeros, which matched Zhu Yunhao's character and was very convincing.
In addition to the memorial in front of him…
"Bastard!" Zhu Yuanzhang flew into a rage." We let him be an official for the convenience of the people, but he's doing it for his own convenience!”
"Humph!"
"Get the Embroidered Uniform Guards to capture him and throw him into the imperial prison for interrogation! He must make him spill all the dirty things he had done during this period of time!”
"Doesn't he like money?"
"We will lock him up in a room full of gold and starve him to death!”
"To warn others!"
'So many people have been killed in the Guo Huan case, but the corrupt officials in the world haven't been killed yet! How hateful!
Zhu Yunwen knelt down in fear,"Imperial Grandfather, please calm down."”
"Calm down? I hate corrupt officials the most in my life. Back then, our family only had 18 grains of rice left, but even so, they still wanted to snatch them away from my hands!”
'My parents have starved to death, and I've been forced onto this path!'
"Now, it's Zhu Yuanzhang who is sitting in the Royal Court. We'll kill all those corrupt officials!”
"I won't show mercy!"
"Yun Wen, do you want this kind of person to participate in our river regulation project? No wonder Pin 'er said that the success rate was only 50%!”
"It's all because of this dog's corruption!"
Zhu Yunwen's face suddenly turned pale as if he had been struck by lightning. His body trembled as he knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word.
However, he was filled with hatred in his heart. Whoever he recommended, Zhu Yunhao, would be defeated. He was even so well-prepared. Where did he get the news?
He couldn't have all the evidence against the officials in his hands, right?
Zhu Yuanzhang swept his cold gaze across everyone.”
"Disperse!"
"Pin 'er will be the leader of the river management. Tomorrow, all the people from the Hall of Heaven's Tribute will come to court.”
(There's another one later, but I really can't finish it. I'll make it up tomorrow.)）
