Skill. Anyway, those discussions and controversies turned into a lullaby. Others argue about others, and they themselves doze off.
The crown prince and the third prince looked sideways, wondering what this Ming Yu was doing, what place was this, and there was still time to fall asleep. The prince glanced at the emperor on the dragon chair. He didn't know if the emperor had noticed, but he didn't look there, which made him heave a sigh of relief.
The third prince glared at Ming Yu several times, this bastard was thrown into the court hall with shame, is this the place where he should sleep? It's unreasonable, but fortunately, the ministers didn't dare to look around, and no one except him and the prince dared to pay too much attention to others.
How could Ming Yu manage so much? I really don’t know who invented the morning court. You have to get up on the fourth watch to get ready, and you have to go to the court at the fifth watch. It’s really killing people, okay? Wouldn't it be good to make people work from nine to five? Fortunately, those courtiers have been enjoying it for decades, and it is also fortunate that he did not have this ambition and was entrusted early, otherwise he would have to be depressed every day so early in the court.
When he was half asleep and half awake, his ears suddenly stopped, and the lullaby was gone, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Someone next to him tugged at his sleeve, "My lord, my lord, wake up, your majesty is calling you!"
Ming Yu was startled, opened his eyes, with a dazed expression: Ah! calls me? Who called me? Why are you calling me
The court hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard, Ming Yu rubbed his eyes and stood up yawning, "Father, your name is Erchen?"
The emperor's face was already dark, and he wanted to reprimand him seeing him like this. Suddenly thinking of the scene at this time, it is not suitable for Lao Tzu to admonish his son, he opened his mouth and swallowed the lecture he was about to say.
What was he thinking, let the old fourteen come early in the morning to make things difficult for him. I knew that this bastard boy couldn't be counted on.
After all, the prince knows the emperor best, so he quickly opened his mouth to make a rescue, and reminded Ming Yu: "Ming Yu! The matter of the Xiqi Corridor proposed by Prime Minister Wen, you are the king of Liangzhou, and you know the situation in the border areas best. Father asked you to talk about it. , do you have any good suggestions?"
The discussion is finally here, this matter should be over soon, so that I can go home and sleep in the cage.
Immediately cheered up, and said with a smile: "Going back to the emperor, I have already prepared it. Regarding the matter of Xiqi Corridor, I have sorted out the written materials, one copy for each person. After everyone has read it first, if there is anything you don't understand You can ask anywhere. I will explain clearly for everyone one by one, I wonder if I can?"
The emperor's face paled slightly, and he nodded in agreement.
Under the surprised gazes of all the ministers, Ming Yu asked someone to bring up a stack of pamphlets, and then asked someone to distribute them. Everyone has a share, even the emperor.
"Come on, let's take a look first. Because of the rush of time, I can only make a general summary. I have made a few explanations, so feel free to ask if you don't understand." Ming Yu smiled with sincerity.
Since everyone has a copy, everyone dare not refute, they can only see what the hell this Duan Wang is up to. As a result, the sound of turning pages was full of swish swish in the hall, and it became more harmonious for a while.
The author has something to say: Thanks to the little angels who voted for me or irrigated nutrient solution during 2021-01-25 11:54:36~2021-01-26 10:06:28~

113. Chapter 113
It can be seen that the people who made this booklet are still very hard-working, fearing that people may not understand, it is full of pictures and texts, from the shallower to the deeper. The geographical environment and climatic conditions of Xiqi Corridor are explained. Today's status quo 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 Xiqi Corridor for the next 20 years.
Although Prime Minister Wen had a general understanding of Ming Yu's plan, he still looked at it seriously. He was a little dazzled, so he took out a pair of glasses and put them in front of his eyes, looking carefully.
This was bestowed by the emperor. Apart from the emperor, only Prime Minister Wen has this honor. The civil and military masters of the Manchu Dynasty were envious. I heard that this thing also came from the Western Regions, and King Duan presented it to His Majesty. With this aid when reading and recognizing characters, you can see clearly and your eyes will not be tired at all.
I don't know if there will be such a thing called glasses. If Duan Wang can sell this thing, he must have one.
Everyone has different ideas, some people read the brochure seriously, while others dismiss it.
"What is written here?" Someone flipped through the pages and said impatiently. Is a foolish prince just using this little thing to fool people? Is this treating them as fools
Ming Yu looked over, "This...?"
"The minister is Zou Chang, the servant of the household department." The man closed the booklet and answered.
Ming Yu nodded, the servant of the household department is an official in charge of the treasury, it seems that he has a big opinion on him! "Master Zou, have you finished reading this?"
Zou Chang, with gray beard and hair, was trembling at this moment, "What's so interesting about this? No matter how many tricks the prince writes, it's nothing more than a castle in the air. Looking at the colorful flowers, it's really illusory."
"Uh!" Ming Yu was at a loss for words, how much effort did he spend to be denied just one sentence? "Why did Lord Zou say such a thing?"
"My lord's booklet is indeed very insightful. You can imagine the future development of the Xiqi Corridor. But has your lord ever thought about it, all of these are far-fetched things. Now the imperial court provides disaster relief, construction of water conservancy, and military expenditures on food and grass. Isn’t this a huge expenditure? It’s also a top priority and cannot be delayed at all. And the Xiqi Corridor is a barren place, how much manpower and material resources are needed to build it to have the scene that the prince said?”
In the main hall, Zou Chang pointed out the key points in a few words. Most of the people in the household department and military department disagreed with the construction of the Xiqi Corridor.
The Ministry of Households is in charge of finances. If there is a catastrophe today, the imperial court cannot make ends meet. Every day when they open their eyes, they are asking for money. It really drove these big butlers crazy. Now, it's all right to create a Xiqi Corridor leading to the Western Regions. Can this be done without spending money? Since it costs money, it can never be done.
Ming Yu listened very carefully and nodded in agreement from time to time.
Zou Chang continued: "Therefore, I think that there is no need to change the frontiers now. It is still the same as it was before. My lord, why not let this matter go and wait for a few years. When the treasury is more abundant and capable, I will implement it. The said plan is not too late."
After saying this, many ministers nodded in agreement. There is no rush for this matter, and there is really no need to do it now. For so many years in the frontier, the situation is neither good nor bad, so why bother to break the situation now
Ming Yu suddenly realized that he understood, "Lord Zou's concerns mean that there is no compromise on the issue of money and material resources, right?"
Zou Chang nodded, that's right, the imperial court had no money, even if they killed him, they would not be able to pay for his poor Xiqi Corridor. This matter should not have happened, His Majesty also allowed the children to mess around, and even brought it up to the court, it was a waste of energy.
"Do you have any questions?" Ming Yu asked loudly again.
Now Prime Minister Wen kept silent, the crown prince neither supported nor opposed, the third prince originally opposed it, but after making a promise to Ming Yu, he also ordered the people below to keep silent. In this way, the voice of opposition has been much reduced, and the real voices are officials like Zou Chang who are concerned with their own interests.
"Your Majesty Zou is right, my lord. Even if the Xiqi Corridor is successfully under the jurisdiction of Dayan, how many troops will be needed to defend such a narrow strip. Not to mention the increase in troops, the increase in food and equipment will also increase the national treasury. What a burden. Just talking about the situation in 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 What if the enemy breaks through the defensive line and invades Dayan on a large scale, how many people will be displaced? The flames of war continue to expand, and Dayan is in danger, so how should we be held accountable? What do you think, Prince Duan?"
Even the words of accountability have been spoken out, which is not to be alarmist. But once something goes wrong, it is really possible that such a thing will happen.
Ming Yu didn't know who the person was speaking, or the third prince on the side approached and whispered that this was Ding Yuanhou, General Xue Lunxue.
This man was brave and warlike when he was young, and made a lot of contributions, so he was named Marquis. It can be seen that this person is very considerate of the shortage of border defense troops, and it is precisely because of this that he speaks out against each other.
Ming Yu accepted it humbly, and listened attentively, without any sign of dissatisfaction. It surprised Xue Lun, not only Xue Lun, it should be said that many people who saw it were impressed.
Didn't it mean that the youngest son of the emperor is domineering and domineering? All the saliva splashed on his face, and he didn't seem to have the slightest temper. There was a bit of resignation, and many people were unsure whether this kid was really stupid, or was he pretending to be innocent
Everyone here is an old fritter who has been in the officialdom for decades. Who hasn't seen it? Ming Yu has never seen such a calm and composed person in the face of aggressive questioning.
Ming Yu smiled, "I understand Xue Hou's meaning. I'm mainly worried that no one will guard the Xiqi Corridor. It's useless if we can't defend it when we build it. It may even cause greater losses because of the weak strength of the front line leader. I don't know what to say." right?"
That's exactly what Xue Lun meant, so he couldn't help but nodded.
Ming Yu looked around
