Chapter seven hundred and two

"It's indeed a bit far away. I don't have enough money. The main reason is that the military spending in the past two years is too amazing. If Liaodong completely pacified the Donglu, there might be no need for such a high military spending. In fact, I can still draw money to build this road. I believe the Qing family should also know the advantages of the Youzha Road. If the road from Beijing to Tianjin is built, the advantages of sea transportation will be fully reflected. The connection between the north and the south is closer. Once the sea transportation is smooth, the advantages of Liaodong will be reflected again. The place in Liaodong will definitely be a property.

A rich granary! So, I still feel it is necessary to build this road..." Yang Jing said that this idea was indeed somewhat beyond Yang Jing's ability. Building an oil road of more than 100 kilometers was a challenge for the Ming Dynasty, but Yang Jing had to take out this thing, at least he had to calm Han Yu down. Although Yang Jing suppressed the matter of Huang Taiji, he was still scared. If it were not for the stable control of the court and sufficient means and energy to suppress the matter, once the matter fermented, God knows what the final outcome would be.

"This..." Han Yu fell into deep thought. The emperor's incident was beyond his imagination. Han Yu's palm began to sweat and he unconsciously clenched his fists.

"...Your Majesty, it's not that I don't agree with this matter, but this fact is... Your Majesty is committed to maritime transportation, but what should I do about this canal transportation? This is also hundreds of thousands of people are trying to make a living!" Han reminded. The road to Tongzhou and Tianjin is very different. If the road to Tianjin is built, it will definitely involve a problem of canal transportation. Those who rely on the canal, in addition to the hundreds of thousands of canal workers who live on the canal, there are also local governments along the way. If the shipping is changed, I don't know how much trouble it is. Han really wants to take over this super-large project, but he has to consider it.

"This is the short-sightedness of your family. I have said that once Liaodong is pacified, with the prosperity of Liaodong, it will definitely become the granary of our north of Ming Dynasty. To develop Liaodong, it is necessary to go through sea transportation. Since we have to go through sea transportation, how can we not build the road to Tianjin? Once Liaodong becomes a granary, it can relieve the suffering of food shortage in the north of Ming Dynasty..." Yang Jing smiled. This is actually a bait, but it is still an immature bait. Yang Jing did not intend to say it out loud. He was going to brew it again and prepare again. There are still many immature places here, money.

On the one hand, due to the pressure of military expenditure, Yang Jing did not dare to use the money he had in his hands, but was forced by Huang Taiji and had to tell him this super project to attract Koreans. If Han wanted to win this super project, it would be impossible for him to not pay anything. If Han wanted to win this, it would be considered a complete shipping deal. In addition to facing the pressure of the "canal party", he had to help him calm the struggle against Huang Taiji. This is indeed a very powerful bait, and a thorny bait.

"Liaodong..." Han Du frowned. If the road construction project the emperor mentioned was compared to the oil-slag road in Tongzhou, the cost might be as high as hundreds or even tens of millions of taels. If he could win it, it would be necessary to say that the benefits would be good. But to win it, it seems that there are many things to face. The emperor really has so much money? Isn't it fooling him? No, probably not. The emperor's reputation has always been very good. Since he talked about this, there must be this matter and he will not deceive people... Han Du was more thinking about how to face these pressures. In fact, he only used half of his brain to think about the matter in Liaodong.

"In fact, the Qing family doesn't have to care too much about the canal transport. I am selling land from Liaodong now, and there are many southerners who are buying land from Liaodong. They are also willing to develop Liaodong. Therefore, it is inevitable to develop sea transport. They may not be blocked from building the road to Tianjin Port. The actual pressure is not as great as the Qing family thinks..." Yang Jing said with a smile.

"This..." Han Yu was also unsure of his mind for a moment. What the emperor said made him feel a little distressed.

"It is far from enough to pacify the Eastern Barbarians. If you want to completely eliminate the emergence of another Eastern Barbarian, you can only hold that place firmly in your hands. How to hold it firmly in your hands? I believe that if there is no people settle down or guarding the military, that place cannot be defended. In addition to these, you must also strengthen the connection with the inner palace and cannot regard Liaodong as a bitter and cold place... If you do not regard Liaodong as your own land, then the place will never be peaceful. Therefore, it is inevitable to develop Liaodong, and it is inevitable to let the Ming Dynasty participate in it. Otherwise, who would regard Liaodong as your own land? My Ming Dynasty has always had party struggles, and there are disputes between the north and the south. If the interests of the north and the south are not combined together, how can my Ming Dynasty bring the same place?

Go? I can't use any force to go? My Ming Dynasty is just a weak fat man who looks huge but is actually extremely weak..." Yang Jing said. Yang Jing has been buying land in Liaodong, which is actually related to this. The reason why the late Ming Dynasty was like that was about to collapse, and the prosperous South still refused to spend more money to support the Ming Dynasty. In fact, it is also related to this idea. He believes that the matters in the north are under the jurisdiction of the north, and the south are enough to live a happy life, and does not regard the north as its own. This is also one of the reasons for the collapse in the late Ming Dynasty. What Yang Jing is doing now is to make up for this shortcomings, unite the north and the south more closely, and combine the north and the south together. Once something happens in a certain place, it is the common enemy of the north and the south. The Ming Dynasty and the south work together, it will definitely not be the situation in the late Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty's words are reasonable..." Han Yu was shocked to the point of being shocked when he heard the emperor's words. The emperor mentioned party struggles and regional struggles, which was a big taboo! He sighed silently that the differences between the north and the south were nothing new, and he was even touched by himself. The Donglin Party, party struggles, are actually divided according to the region. The Donglin Party mainly fights for the interests of several southern provinces and does not care about the interests of other places. They are sometimes even standing in the position of spectators for the affairs of the north, especially Liaodong. This is indeed a great disadvantage of the Ming Dynasty. As the former Donglin Party, Han Yu was naturally very clear about this. When he heard the emperor talk about this, he was very moved that what the emperor did was indeed very understandable and did many things that seemed ordinary but were actually far-reaching. Han Yu was a little moved!

"So, my family doesn't need to pay much attention to the matter of canal. I am not going to completely abandon the canal transportation, but I just want to strengthen the sea transportation. Their interests are important, but I think that the interests of hundreds of millions of people are equally important, and the future of our Ming Dynasty is also important. Now I am not giving them the opportunity. Isn't there a 20% subsidy for shipbuilding? The canal transportation is not easy to live, isn't sea transportation arising? Isn't it necessary for more people and more ships to travel to sea transportation?" Yang Jing said again.

"Your Majesty's words are reasonable..." Han said. Han was very distressed. The emperor said something that was beyond his expectations. The things involved were far more complicated than he thought. Han was unable to make a clue for a while. Han originally thought that the emperor asked him to talk about the Donglu, and at most he told him about the work-for-relief. Unexpectedly, the emperor broke out such a fierce news. It was not good to agree. The matter was too complicated and he didn't think it clearly. It was not good not to agree. If he gave up such a big project, he would be afraid that he would regret it in the future.

Seeing Han Shu lowering his head and his eyes were slackening, Yang Jie knew that Han Shu was fighting fiercely in his heart and his bait played a role.

"I will continue to build the road. I have wanted to build it for a long time, but the war in the past two years has consumed too much money, so I dare not use my full strength. If I can wipe out the Donglu as soon as possible, I may be able to free up a lot of money. The money needed for the road construction is not too worried. I know that this is for the century of my Ming Dynasty, for the unity of my Ming Dynasty, and for the suffocation of the party. Several cabinet ministers have their own affairs. Shi Shoujia is in charge of the overall situation and is mainly responsible for drought-resistant crops.

Promotion, Master Sun is mainly responsible for the military affairs of the northern region, and Master Xu is mainly responsible for the immigration of the southern region. I thought about it and wanted to leave the work-for-relief and infrastructure matters to the Qing family. I wonder if the Qing family can take on heavy burdens? Would you like to share my worries?" Yang Jingjing said, Yang Jingjing decided to formally give Han Yu a name, that is, to be responsible for the construction and infrastructure. This is too fat to be as fat as possible. Yang Jingjing knew that Han Yu could not refuse. Since he could not refuse, he had to charge for himself...

Han Yu had been struggling, hesitating, and suffering several times, but in the end he could not endure the huge labor-for-relief project.

"Report to Your Majesty, I am willing to share your worries and take on this burden..." Han Gong suffered the hardship and decided to follow the path the emperor gave him. If he gave up such a big project, he would not have to do the leading brother. He stood up, knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor, and solemnly agreed. After agreeing, he had achieved his goal and finally became the cabinet minister responsible for one side, that is, the promise that once every five years,

It officially takes effect. If there is no special situation, the emperor will not replace people. He can be a cabinet minister for at least five years, just like Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, and Shi Fenglai. For himself and for his "party", he must take on this job. As for the obstacles encountered in these things, Han Du thought about it. Since His Majesty was determined to do it, with him charging in front and the emperor taking care of him behind, perhaps things were not that difficult.
