Daqin: Check in at the beginning of 18 and ask Zulong to abdicate

"I named this canal Lingqu."

Ying Zigao took out the complete map of the Great Qin territory, pointed to the location of the later Lingqu, and used a brush.The general direction of Lingqu is drawn.

Then he said seriously: "I will allocate 10 yuan to you and promote you to be a doctor of the Ministry of Industry, responsible for the Lingqu project!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Guo Shoujing said hastily.

"During the construction period, I will issue a special decree to the local officials in Changsha County, Dongting County and surrounding counties, asking them to fully cooperate with you!"

Ying Zigao went on to say: "You just need to concentrate and be responsible for the project!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Guo Shoujing hurriedly agreed loudly.

After Guo Shoujing was sent away, Ying Zigao was about to take a rest when he saw the accompanying eunuch walking in with a stack of memorials in both hands.

"Is this the memorial that was delivered today?" Looking at the thick stack of memorials, Ying Zi Gao asked hurriedly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The accompanying eunuch said hurriedly, "All the memorials sent by the capital and local officials are here."

Ying Zigao nodded and said, "Put the memorial here!"

The memorial was lightly piled up on the case table, and Ying Zigao couldn't help but secretly sighed: Finally, I don't have to face the bamboo slips like hills!
"After using paper, the weight of the memorial is greatly reduced."

Ying Zigao immediately said seriously: "There is no need for the guards to deliver the memorials. Let's enrich those guards into the security work."

"I understand." The accompanying eunuch hurriedly agreed.

After sending away the accompanying eunuch, Ying Zigao opened the memorial and began to review it seriously.

The contents of the instructions are of course written in regular script.

All the memorial documents were changed to paper.Ying Zigao was in a good mood, and the efficiency of reviewing the memorials was much faster.

In less than an hour, all the memorials have been reviewed.

Looking at the desks that had been emptied, Ying Zigao heaved a sigh of relief, stood up, stretched his waist, twisted his neck, left the imperial study room, and strode to the imperial garden.

In the imperial garden at this time, gardeners and craftsmen are finishing the finishing work of the solar greenhouse.

Seeing that the solar greenhouse was basically completed, Ying Zigao couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing Ying Zigao coming, the craftsmen immediately put down their work, knelt down on the ground, and were about to pay respects.

"No need to be like this, hurry up and flatten your body!" Ying Zi said loudly, "I'm here to see the progress of the solar greenhouse!"

Hearing this, the craftsmen and gardeners stood up carefully.

"Busy your work." Ying Zi smiled loudly, beckoned to the craftsman in charge, and asked, "Is the project nearly done?"

"Your Majesty, the work is basically completed, and there is only a little finishing work left."

The craftsman in charge said seriously: "It will take another two days to complete the work."

"You did a good job." Ying Zigao nodded and said, "The solar greenhouse has been built, I'm going to take a good look at it! At that time, I will reward you for your meritorious service and give you the title of military merit!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The craftsmen and gardeners immediately became excited and said loudly.

After the craftsmen were sent away, Ying Zi Gao left.Opening the storage cabinet, he looked at the half of the corn seeds he had left behind.

"It's time to plant it!" Ying Zigao's eyes were filled with hope.

In the early morning of the next day, Ying Zigao announced to the ministers the decision to build a new Lingqu.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to start construction!"

When Minister of Rites heard this, he suddenly got anxious, stood up and said in a loud voice: "Not to mention that my Daqin is carrying out straight roads, fast roads, new construction of the Great Wall and fortifications in the north of the Great Wall, and construction of mausoleums for the emperor.

It is the new official saltworks.The government-run iron smelting workshop and the government-run shipbuilding workshop require a lot of labor and invest a huge amount of money!

If a large project like Lingqu is to be built, it will cost more money and manpower.It will cause tremendous pressure on the court and the people! "

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The right servant of the Ministry of Rites also hurriedly said: "The digging of the canal is a huge project, and the digging site is far away in the southern borderlands. The terrain is steep, sparsely populated, and the roads are rugged! The project is quite difficult!

The manpower and material resources consumed are not a small number, and the pressure on finances is not small! "

Speaking of this, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites looked at Ying Zigao with a serious face, and said, "Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to postpone the start of work for the time being and wait until the conditions permit!"

Hearing this, Ying Zigao couldn't help but frowned, feeling upset!

Suppressing the anger in his heart, he asked in a cold voice, "What do you mean by conditions permitting?"

The right servant of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what I mean by conditional permission means that the financial revenue will be more abundant, and the imperial court will be able to afford the financial and manpower required for the project. And it will not be strenuous!"

"That's right." Ying Zigao nodded, and said seriously to the left servant of the household department: "Aiqing, please tell me about the current financial situation of the imperial court!"

"Your Majesty, with the first batch of government-run salt factories being put into operation one after another, the imperial government's monthly income from the salt industry has reached [-] yuan!"

The Zuo Shilang of the household department hurriedly said seriously: "In terms of income from the salt industry, the annual income of the imperial court can reach 72 yuan.

The construction of the second batch of government-run salt factories is also progressing smoothly and will be put into operation in the spring of next year.

After it is put into operation, the monthly operating income of the imperial court will reach more than 120 yuan, and the annual income of the imperial court will increase to more than [-] million yuan! "

Hearing this, the ministers present couldn't help being shocked!
The right servant of the Ministry of Rites and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites widened their eyes in surprise.

They officials of the Ministry of Rites never imagined that the imperial court's annual income would increase so much!

"This is only the income of the salt industry."

The Zuo Shilang of the household department went on to say: "The glass workshop recently opened by the imperial court has a lot of income. Last month's income reached 5 yuan!

In the future, with the expansion of the scale and output of the government-run glass workshop, the monthly income will increase significantly!It is easy to earn more than 100 million yuan a year! "

Hearing this, all the ministers couldn't help but widen their eyes in surprise!
The faces of the officials of the Ministry of Rites became even more tense, and they looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and the right servant of the Ministry of Rites with some concern!

"Besides, the imperial spirits recently launched by the emperor have also earned a lot of money!"

Tobu Zuoshilang continued: "This month's income has reached 10 yuan! With the completion of the new brewery and production, the production income will increase rapidly! The annual income can reach at least 100 million yuan!"

"These three items alone are 300 million yuan!"

Hearing this, Yuhuatian couldn't help being shocked!
