Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times - Chapter 793

These two guys don’t hesitate to praise.

Xiao Yun was embarrassed for a moment.

He really thought the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty was a confused king!

I didn’t think I was wrong.

To tell you the truth, it’s a little embarrassing.

Touching his nose, Xiao Yun said, “so you think so, eh… How can you say? It surprised me.”

“What do you think of it? Do you think he is a confused king?”

Xiao Yun shrugged his shoulders and said, “everyone would think so.”

Tuoba tianer frowned and was unhappy for a long time, but finally he couldn’t help sighing and said, “yes, some measures are indeed some problems, which makes people think he is confused. Maybe it’s because he’s too old. There will be some problems in doing things.”

Xiao Yun nodded and said, “there will be such a problem.”

“Then why?”

The princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty frowned and said, “when I saw my father, I only felt that his father was wise. What he said and did were the best, but why did he always make mistakes down there?”

Xiao Yun blinked.

Then he sighed.

He knows why.

“In a high position, sometimes you are blind or deaf. You can’t help it. It’s a matter of human sophistication. If a country Lord is really a wise king, he needs to make the most correct judgment when he can’t see or hear, and when he is deaf or blind. This is only the basis. More importantly, he has to hear a lot of lies. No, even all lies! It’s like in a wrong world , it’s really difficult to find a piece of light in the original darkness. There are not many people who can do this in history. Therefore, there are so few saints and emperors. It’s not that they are incompetent. On the contrary, they often have the best education, have experienced the most cruel struggle to seize their legitimate rights, and have dealt with the biggest things in the world, But they often seem so stupid that even the people think they are waste, because the difficulty of facing one thing is very different. ”

Several women were stunned for a while. Leng Yueling asked, “will it really be like this?”

They obviously don’t believe it.

They who know the imperial power always feel that the imperial power is everywhere. Don’t even the Lord of the state of Qin also have a dark guard? They are like ubiquitous eyeliner, always let him know a lot of things that others do not know.

Why are you deaf and blind?

Xiao Yun smiled gently, then sighed and said, “let me give an example. In the state of Qin, I personally experienced something when I was having dinner with his majesty.”

He turned to look into the distance and couldn’t help laughing bitterly.

“At that time, there was a memorial, which was difficult to reach your majesty. The person who wrote the memorial made it into two layers. On the surface, it wrote ordinary things, and on the lower layer, it wrote important things. There were almost no flaws in these two layers of paper. Only at night, when the light was dim and the light shone on it at a certain angle, could the words below be slightly revealed , the people who played knew that his majesty often gave instructions to the memorials late at night, but those who reviewed them were often in the daytime, so they made this mechanism, and the probability that the mechanism could be found was also very low. Coincidentally, they didn’t know how many memorials with this mechanism would be found, or even might never be found, but more likely, The person who was audited found it and tried to kill him. ”

Leng Yueling said, “it’s so complicated. It must be a very important thing.”

“Yes, it’s about the corruption of the following officials. Lishui County is an important town supported by the state of Qin. It used to be a very rich place a hundred years ago, but in recent years, it has gradually declined and become a famous poor area in the state of Qin due to various reasons. It once supported many important towns around it, but now it needs everyone in the state of Qin A lot of money was spent to support the development in 2008. Most of the money that was sent out to support the construction every year from the state treasury, most of which went there, and the amount was the highest in the country. Just a year ago, an officer in the county suddenly thought that he wanted to build roads first, but not land transportation. If he could build a canal, he could go through the north and south. It can not only alleviate the flood pressure around the south water for many years, but also vigorously develop water transportation. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. ”

Leng Yueling said, “isn’t this… A good thing?”

Next to Tuoba tianer said, “this must be a good thing. The money of the state should be used in such places. Moreover, it has been proved that the convenience of transportation in a region really determines whether a place is prosperous or not.”

“Right?”

Xiao Yun said with a wry smile, “it takes 300000 taels of silver to build that canal normally. It’s not a small number.”

“Well… It’s a little too much, but for the state of Qin, it can afford it. Compared with the results of this matter, it’s also cost-effective.”

Tuoba tianer said with certainty.

“Right?”

Xiao Yun said with a smile, “in fact, there are more than one million liang of funds allocated there every year. It’s actually good to take out part to build the canal.”

“That’s a good thing.”

Tuoba tianer said.

Xiao Yun said, “yes, it’s a good thing, but the price offered by the official is 900000 Liang. It takes 900000 Liang to complete the construction.”

“This…”

Tuoba tianer twitched twice in the corner of his eye, then sighed and said: “in fact, it can be understood. After all, if the money goes down, it will be deducted layer by layer. Only one third of it can be used in business. Although it is a little… Cruel, it is understandable that it does not leave a normal number.”

“Yes.”

Xiao Yun also nodded and said, “if the water is clear, there will be no fish. If you don’t give them some benefits, who is willing to do such a thing? Although it exceeds twice the price, it should be the labor expenses of those officials. It’s understandable that as long as the canal is repaired, it’s OK to spend more money.”

“That’s the truth!” Tuoba tianer nodded frequently.

Xiao Yun smiled and said, “but when 900000 liang of flowers were spent, the canal was not built.”

“Ah?!”

Tuoba tianer suddenly opened his mouth and stared at Xiao Yun, feeling incredible.

Xiao Yun said, “not only has it not been built, in fact, only half of it has been built.”

“Only… To half? It took 900000 taels to repair half of a canal that originally needed 300000 taels. Is this… Is this a little too much?”

Xiao Yun spread his hand and said, “and the official is old, and the new official is replaced. What do you think should be done?”

“Well… Even if you’re old, you have to get people back!”

Xiao Yun shook his head, say: “In the memorial, there is a clear explanation for the reason why so much money is spent. There are natural disasters from time to time, and occasionally some disasters and some craftsmen die. If the craftsmen die, do you have to appease them? If the construction period is delayed, do you have to keep those craftsmen who don’t work? After all, it’s hard to find craftsmen. You can’t say they don’t live here, so let them make a living for themselves, and then this is the end I’m beginning to be able. Call them back again? ”

“This… Seems reasonable.”

Tuoba tianer smiled bitterly and said, “but it’s really unlucky there? There are accidents, dead people and delays in the construction period. It’s really…”

Xiao Yun suddenly said: “The second article written in the secret memorial is that the natural disaster is false. It didn’t happen at all. The disaster is false. Although there are dead people, they didn’t die so much. Moreover, the appeasement fee was not given to the craftsmen at all. As for the extension, the craftsmen were really dismissed and didn’t pay them. After starting work, they were looking for another person.”

“Ah, this…”

Tuoba tianer opened his mouth and looked incredible.

For a long time, I couldn’t help but say, “are they too brave?”

Xiao Yun said with a bitter smile, “it’s normal to support the bold and starve the timid since ancient times.”

“That’s terrible.”

“Yes, think about it carefully. It’s really terrible. What about your majesty? In fact, did you miss anything in the whole event?”

“It… Seems not.”

Xiao Yun held out his hand and said, “later, I knew it cost a lot of money, but after all, the canal has been dug in half, so I can’t stop directly. Your majesty bit his teeth hard, took some out of the national treasury, took some out of the Royal private house money, and put together 900000 to make up for it.”

“Ah? Another 900000? Then it must have been repaired this time?”

“Well… No.”

Xiao Yun shook his head and then said, “after the on-site survey of the new official, it is not suitable to build a canal at all! So it can’t be built at all. Instead, a road should be built and a bridge should be built on the original river.”

“Ah?! were those people before crazy? Or stupid? Not suitable. They spent so much money and time, and only got half in the end?”

“Yes, your majesty also thinks so, but this matter involves too much. Before your majesty confirmed the construction period, he also asked some people who are proficient in water conservancy in the imperial court to see it. Their returns at that time said that it was feasible. They all said that this method was beneficial to the country and the future. Anyway, how good and how to come.”

“Then they united to deceive your majesty?”

“Who knows?”

Xiao Yun spread his hand, and then said, “then your majesty sent someone to investigate, and the result is that there actually needs an official road that can take a carriage rather than a canal.”

“This…”

Tuoba tianer’s eyes twitched violently.

Xiao Yun continued: “then he began to repair it. As a result, when he came to the canal once built… Alas, building a bridge is too expensive and expensive. More importantly, if the canal is not opened, but a bridge is built, there will be blocked pits. If these pits accumulate rain, they are easy to cause disasters.”

“So… What about that?”

“So they had no choice but to fill the dug Canal back.”

“This… Filled to the ground?!”

“Yes, it must be filled into flat land, and as long as it is flat, will the bridge be saved?”

“This… This seems to make sense.”

Xiao Yun spread his hand and said, “naturally, it makes sense, but it’s building roads and bridges. Naturally, it costs a lot of money. Now with filling, it will be more. So 900000 liang of silver was smashed in.”

“Hey, it’s really… It’s better to build an official way directly. It’s not better than anything?”

“Yes, your majesty also thinks so. Let people calculate how much it will cost to cultivate the official way alone. As a result… In fact, it only takes 100000 Liang.”

“Hey! How much more did it cost outside and inside here!”

Xiao Yun said, “you also think that although this matter is stupid, the result is still good and acceptable, right?”

“What else can I do?” Tuoba tianer said helplessly: “That’s the only way. As you said, if you go deep into it, I’m afraid it will affect the whole body. It’s not good to cause chaos in the imperial court at that time. Those who go to explore should naturally be people trusted by the Lord of the state of Qin and people with high status. It’s unclear who is right or wrong between the two groups. Even if they have to be clear, they don’t know what price to pay at that time.”

Xiao Yun said with a smile, “yes, that’s right. It’s not easy for you to understand this. For example, if you kill, bury and change all those officials, who will take care of the world? If no one takes care of it, no one will repair the 100000 road. If you give all the money to the people there, what do you think they will do?”

“It must have been divided, more or less, or even divided.”

Tuoba tianer is very confident. She has seen such a thing more than once.

Xiao Yun shrugged and refused to comment.

Then he said: “As for filling and building roads, it is the third thing in the secret play. In fact, it is not suitable to build roads there. Even there is already an east-west road there. The newly built road is more difficult to walk than the old road before. Moreover, there really needs a north-south canal. Even at the end of the North-South canal, businessmen have prepared there The House post station is ready to make a fortune when water transportation rises. ”

“Ah?!”

Such a reversal almost made Tuoba tianer spit blood.

She could even imagine that when the Lord of the state of Qin saw this memorial, the expression must be very wonderful. I’m afraid the original sleepiness would disappear by anger.

“He must be very angry?”

“Yes, ah, then why do you think I went to have dinner with him? You know this? I was almost angry when I said it was dinner. Let me go over and give him some medicine.”

“This… This way.”

Xiao Yun rubbed his eyebrows and said, “what did you say he did wrong? But if the people knew this, would they madly scold him and call him a fool?”

Tuoba tianer said with a wry smile, “I’m sure I’ll scold. The 900000 Liang canal is even a chance for the future. It’s just like floating in the water. Even because of filling and building roads, it’s impossible to build the Canal there any more and cut off their chance for the future… Alas, if I were the people there, I would be angry to death.”

“Isn’t it?”

Xiao Yun shook his head.

Then he said, “in fact, as long as people living there must know about the situation there? They even know very well. Is that always right?”

“It happened when the eyelids were low. Even if I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I’m afraid I knew almost when I boasted and chatted with each other.”

Tuoba tianer is right.

So Xiao Yun nodded.

But he sighed again and said, “it should have been like this, but… Your Majesty was really angry at that time. He decided to take advantage of this opportunity to have a cruel. No matter how much he was involved, he was ready to catch those moths. Even if he gouged out meat from himself, he would fight and endure it in order to make his body better.”

“That’s it!”

Xiao Yun said: “But your majesty is not an impulsive person or an unwise person. Although he was very angry at that time, in fact, the secret report… Actually belongs to one person, one side, right? Although the person who played the secret report obviously belongs to the weak side and took great pains to convey the news, who can know that what he said is true ？ You know, the person who said another word before was also the one your majesty trusted most. Now a stranger, an unfamiliar person, just used some extraordinary means. It seems that he really said something, and your majesty immediately believed him. Isn’t your majesty a fool? ”

Xiao Yun said with a smile: “Your Majesty, what have you never experienced? All kinds of intrigues and tricks, and what wonderful means have you never seen? You know, some hunters often appear as prey, and the seemingly most vulnerable people are the behind the scenes people who play pigs and eat tigers! In the eyes of ordinary people, it’s just daily.”

After spreading his hands, he continued: “so what your majesty needs to do now is to send people he trusts more, even go there in person and ask the local people, whether it’s a private visit in micro clothes or a plot to get their words out. Anyway… Listen to the local people’s words, and then judge who is right and who is wrong, right?”

Tuoba tianer nodded and said, “it should be so, but in this way, it should come out!”

Xiao Yun shook his head, and then said, “when those people arrived at Lishui County, they found the local people and asked about the canal and the repair of bridges and roads… The local people said that their parents had done a great thing. They were very satisfied and lived a happy life. They should thank this and that.”
