MTL - I Built a Territory in Ancient Times-Chapter 140 Festival
Skill. Anyway, those discussions and disputes became a lullaby, others arguing about others and dozing off on their own.
The prince and the third prince looked sideways frequently, what was this Ming Yu doing, where was this place, and he still had time to sleep. The prince glanced at the emperor on the dragon chair. He didn't know if the emperor noticed it, and he didn't look over there, which made him relieved.
The third prince glared at Ming Yu several times, this **** has been thrown into the courtroom, is this where he should sleep? It's totally unreasonable, but fortunately, the ministers did not dare to look around, and no one dared to pay too much attention to others except him and the prince.
Where can Ming Yu manage so much? I really don't know who invented the early morning, at the fourth watch, you have to get up and get ready, and at the fifth watch, it will kill you. Wouldn't it be okay to have people work 9 to 5? Thankfully, those courtiers were like a day for decades, and they were happy. Fortunately, he didn't want to be here, and he was sealed out early, otherwise he would have to treat people with depression so early every day.
When he was half asleep and half awake, his ears suddenly stopped, and the lullaby for speaking was gone, which made him a little uncomfortable.
Someone next to him pulled his sleeve, "My lord, my lord, wake up, your majesty is calling you!"
Ming Yu was shocked, opened his eyes, and looked blank: Ah! calls me? who called me? What are you calling me for?
The hall was so quiet that you could hear needles falling, Ming Yu rubbed his eyes and stood up with a yawn, "Father, your name is Erchen?"
The emperor's face was already dark, looking at him like this, he wanted to reprimand him. Suddenly I thought of the scene at this time, it is not suitable for Laozi to admonish his son, he opened his mouth and swallowed the words that were about to be exported.
What did he think, let the old fourteen come to block him early in the morning. I know this **** can't be counted on.
The crown prince knew the emperor the most, so he quickly opened his mouth and reminded Ming Yu: "Ming Yu! You are the king of Liangzhou about the Xiqi Corridor proposed by Prime Minister Wen, and you know the situation in the border areas best. The emperor asked you to give your opinion. , do you have any good suggestions?"
Finally, the discussion is here, this matter is over soon, so that I can go home and sleep.
Immediately cheered up, he smiled and said, "When I return to the emperor, Erchen has already prepared. Regarding the Xiqi Corridor, Erchen has sorted out the written materials, one copy for each person. After everyone has read it first, there is nothing you don't understand. You can ask anywhere. I'll explain it clearly for everyone, may I?"
The emperor's face turned slightly, and he nodded in agreement.
Under the surprised eyes of the ministers, Ming Yu asked someone to bring up a stack of pamphlets, and then ordered them to issue them. Everyone had a share, even the emperor.
"Come on, let's take a look first, because the time is in a hurry, I can only make a general summary and make such a little explanation, feel free to ask if you don't understand." Ming Yu smiled with sincerity.
Since everyone has one copy, no one dares to refute it. They can only see what the **** this Duan Wang is doing. So the hall was filled with the sound of turning pages, and for a while, there was a lot of harmony.
The author has something to say: Thank you to the little angel who voted for me or irrigated nutrient solution during the period of 2021-01-25 11:54:36~2021-01-2610:06:28~

113 Chapter 113
It can be seen that the people who made this booklet are still very attentive, and I am afraid that people will not understand it. The geographical environment and climatic conditions of Xiqi Corridor are expounded. The status quo today and the future master plan, how much benefit is expected to be generated in the next ten or twenty years.
All in all, Ming Yu did his best to plan the next 20 years of Xiqi Corridor.
Although Prime Minister Wen had a general understanding of Ming Yu's plan, he still looked at it very seriously. He was a little dazzled, took out a pair of glasses and put it in front of him, looking carefully.
This was bestowed by the emperor. Besides the emperor, only Prime Minister Wen had this honor. The Manchu civil and military people are envious. I heard that this thing is also from the Western Regions, and King Duan presented it to His Majesty. With this aid when reading and recognizing characters, I can see clearly and my eyes are not tired at all.
I don't know if there will be something called glasses. If Duan Wang can sell this thing, he has to prepare one.
Everyone's thoughts are different, some people read the booklet seriously, and some people are dismissive.
"What is written here?" Someone turned over and said impatiently. A foolish prince, just use this little thing to fool people? Does this make them fools too?
Ming Yu looked over, "This...?"
"This minister is Zou Chang, the servant of the household department." The man closed the booklet and answered.
Ming Yu nodded, the Minister of the Household, the official in charge of the treasury and finances, it seems that his opinion is not very big! "Master Zou, are you finished?"
Zou Changxu's hair was gray and trembled at this time, "What's so good about this? No matter how many tricks Wangye writes, it's just a castle in the air. Looking at the flowers, it's actually illusory."
"Uh!" Ming Yu was at a loss for words, how much effort did he put in, and he was denied just one sentence? "Why did Master Zou say this?"
"Your Highness is indeed very insightful, and you can imagine the future development of the Xiqi Corridor. But, Your Highness, have you ever thought that all these things are insignificant. Now, the imperial court's disaster relief, water conservancy construction, military food and grass, etc. Isn’t the project a huge expenditure? It’s also a top priority, and it can’t be delayed at all. And how much manpower and material resources does it take to build a barren place in the Xiqi Corridor to have the scene as the lord said?”
In the main hall, Zou Chang pointed out the key points in a few words. Most of the people in the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of War did not agree with the construction of the Xiqi Corridor.
The Ministry of Household is in charge of finances. If today's disasters and man-made disasters, the imperial court cannot make ends meet, every day when I open my eyes, I will ask for money, and this requires money, and that also requires money. It really drives these big housekeepers crazy. Now, the good ones want to create a Xiqi corridor leading to the Western Regions. Can this be done without spending money? If you have to spend money, you can't do this.
Ming Yu listened carefully and nodded in agreement from time to time.
Zou Chang continued: "Therefore, this minister thinks that there is no need to change the border areas now, and what happened in the past is what it is now. Lord, it's better to leave this matter alone, wait for a few years, and wait until the national treasury is more abundant, and then implement it when you have the ability. Said plan is not too late."
After saying this, many ministers nodded in agreement. This matter is not urgent, there is really no need to do it now. After so many years in the borderlands, the situation is not bad or not, so why bother to break the situation now?
Ming Yu was stunned and said he understood, "Master Zou's concern means that there is no compromise on the issue of money and material resources, right?"
Zou Chang nodded, that's right, the imperial court has no money, and even if he were to be killed, he wouldn't be able to get the money to use the Xiqi Corridor of his filthy son. There should be no such thing. Your Majesty also allows the children to make troubles, and even make troubles in the courtroom, which is purely a waste of energy.
"Do you have any questions?" Ming Yu asked again loudly.
Now, Prime Minister Wen kept his mouth shut, and the crown prince didn't say anything in support or disapproval. The third prince was originally against it. After making a promise to Ming Yu, he also ordered the people below to remain silent. In this way, the voices of opposition are much smaller, and the real voices are officials like Zou Chang who are concerned with their own interests.
"Master Zou is right, my lord, look at the fact that even if the Xiqi Corridor is successfully under the jurisdiction of Dayan, how many troops are needed to defend such a narrow area. Not to mention the increase in troops, the increase in food and grass equipment will increase the national treasury. What a burden. Just talking about the situation on the frontier, the defense of only one Shi Chongguan in the frontier is already very difficult. If you continue to stretch the front, the defense will definitely be weak, and it will be easier for the enemy to seize the opportunity to attack Dayan. If the enemy breaks through the defensive line and invades Dayan on a large scale, how many people will be displaced. The war continues to expand and Dayan is in danger. How should we be held accountable? Duan Wang, what do you think?"
Even the words of accountability have been said, which is not alarmist. But once something goes wrong, it is really possible that such a thing will happen.
Ming Yu didn't know who was speaking, or the third prince on the side leaned in and whispered that this was Dingyuan Hou, General Xue Lun Xue.
This man was brave and belligerent when he was young, made a lot of contributions, and was named a marquis. It can be seen that this person has a lot of consideration for the lack of defense forces in the border areas, and it is precisely because of this that he resists his words.
Ming Yu accepted it humbly and listened attentively, showing no dissatisfaction at all. It made Xue Lun surprised, not only Xue Lun, it should be said that many people who saw it were impressed.
Doesn't it mean that the emperor's young son is domineering and tyrannical? Spit splashed all over his face, but he didn't even have the slightest temper. There is quite a bit of self-inflicted attitude, many people are not sure, is this kid really stupid, or is he pretending to be innocent?
All of you here are old fritters who have been in the officialdom for decades. Who hasn't seen it? Ming Yu has never seen someone who can be so calm in the face of aggressive questioning.
Ming Yu smiled and said, "Xue Hou's meaning is understood, the main concern is that there is no one to guard the Xiqi Corridor. It is useless if we can't defend it, and even more losses will be caused due to the problem of long and weak fronts. I don't know what to say. right?"
That's what Xue Lun meant, and he couldn't help but nodded.
Ming Yu looked around
