Gong Yimo analyzed it piece by piece, "In the beginning, even if the father and the emperor fully supported it, because it was necessary to recruit coolies and corvée, it must be difficult for everyone, but if I use my method to dig, a year later, they will be alert. Come here and think about the benefits, those people will definitely want to get a share of the pie... At that time, even if the ministers are not too obstructive for the sake of their own children, it is hard to say for the princes."
Her speech was slow and organized, but every word was to the point.
"Instead of waiting for others to grab it, it's better to give it to Gong Jue. This is also one of the conditions for me to fully help you."
He clearly knew in his heart that it was better for Gong Jue to help than those wealthy wolves and leopards, but Gong Che just couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart, "I'm afraid the royal father will not agree to this matter."
That's right, he is the prince, and he came to dig the canal on behalf of the emperor. In the hearts of the common people, it is equivalent to the emperor's visit in person, but Gong Jue has nothing. Even if someone wants to come in in the future, how can Gong Jue win over those people
Gong Yimo smiled confidently, "He was taught by me, I know very well what he is capable of, as long as he completes the Xizhou well and canal work perfectly and quickly this time, which others can't complete in six or seven years, there are With his experience in water control, he will definitely be able to win over those people."
If he couldn't even compete with those people, he would not be the feared regent of later generations...
Gong Che was even more dull. He felt that as an older brother, he should laugh at this time. After all, Gong Yimo showed him a way out, and he should be grateful, so he should be happy and generously express his willingness to accept it!
But when he thought that Gong Yimo couldn't forget Gong Jue in everything, everything turned towards him, Gong Che couldn't help but feel a trace of unwillingness in his heart.
Isn't it just that they have been together in the cold palace for three years... Why can't he compare
Gong Yimo naturally didn't know what Gong Che was thinking. Seeing him pondering, she thought he was thinking about the details. Naturally, her purpose was more than that.
Her little head is spinning so fast! Those rules and regulations are all displayed one by one, and the pros and cons are clear at a glance.
First of all, Gong Che will definitely benefit a lot from this matter. After all, Gong Che's foreign family, the ancestral home of the Liu family, is also heading south, and is a big family. Once they leave the capital, the power of these big families will be able to show. In the Liu family With great help, once the north and south are communicated, the emperor's regional governance will be strengthened. If the emperor is happy, he will definitely let the Liu family be this deputy minister, not to mention that once the north and south communicate, the Liu family can pass the How much benefit has the canal got
Moreover, the children of those ministers followed Gong Che. Although they knew nothing, they had a high status, and after being polished several times, it was also their side's help.
This is only a benefit for Gong Che, what about herself
Gong Yimo's eyes flickered, and the corner of his mouth involuntarily showed a smile of victory.
She is the one who seizes the first opportunity and has the most right to speak!
The shop in her hand is only in the capital, and it can no longer meet her needs. If she can follow the canal and continue her business all the way to the south, it will be fine. In this case, through Gong Che's credit for digging the canal, ask the emperor for the right to come for transportation! Even if it can't be monopolized, her merchant fleet must be legal!
If all her merchant ships are running and transporting in the Grand Canal... The interests behind this make her dare not think about it.
Water can make money, as long as she has the right to speak, she can take a large part of the interests whether it is transporting goods, carrying passengers, or even smuggling.
Gong Yimo slowly sighed in relief after thinking of this, and finally smiled, revealing her white teeth.
She has never been a person who kills two birds with one stone... She has always wanted more than one stone, the more the better!
***
When Gong Che hurriedly went to see the queen early in the morning and persuaded the queen to hand over the phoenix seal to self-cultivation, unexpectedly, the queen did not stop his hiss, but was quiet and terrifying.
Gong Che originally lowered his head, but seeing that his mother hadn't spoken for a long time, he looked up. Who would have guessed that she was actually crying!
Two lines of clear tears fell silently, her eyes were sad but no sound came out.
"Mother?!"
He stepped forward a few steps and carefully wiped away her tears, but the Queen's tears were like beads with a broken thread, falling non-stop. It was just over a month, but she seemed to be a dozen years old. The mind has also become fragile and tactful, and it is no longer the same as it used to be.
The queen grabbed Gong Che's hand and raised her head with tears in her eyes.
"Son, don't worry, the mother will do as you say, but son... Did you really just give up?"
It turned out that she thought that Gong Che had given up the fight for the throne because he was disheartened by inviting him to repair the canal that might not be repaired well in five or six years.
Gong Che couldn't help laughing.
So he lowered his head and repeated Gong Yimo's words one by one in the Queen's ear.
Originally, after the mother knew about it, she would definitely ask, for example, is Gong Yimo really sure, and what is her way to repair the canal so quickly and so on.
Who would have thought that after hearing Gong Che's words, the queen's eyes lit up. She grabbed Gong Che's hand and said eagerly, "Seriously, is this really what Princess Chaoyang said?"
Gong Che nodded and said yes.
The queen burst out laughing! The queen's laughter was heard by the maids guarding the palace gate, and they felt scared for a while, the queen... Was she finally crazy because of the blows over the past few days? So how are they doing
Even Gong Che was a little scared, he patted the queen on the shoulder, but saw the queen suddenly look up at him, that look made his heart tremble!
"Good! Good!!" She said three times in a row, if all what Gong Yimo said was true, then when his emperor came back again, why wouldn't He Chou have a chance to turn over? ! That is a great achievement!
"Okay... Okay!" The queen was indeed a little awake because of the ups and downs at this time, but she still firmly grasped her son's hand, and her face recovered again! If there is such a good opportunity to leave the capital, then the unique honor of the prince to participate in politics is nothing to be rare!
"If all this is what Princess Chaoyang said, let's do it! My son... The queen mother believes in you! The queen mother will be waiting for your return at the Holy Buddhist Temple!"
Gong Che thought it was very strange. He didn't understand that her mother trusted Gong Yimo more than him, "Isn't the mother afraid that her son will lose power completely after leaving the capital?"
The queen shook her head, her phoenix eyes once again brilliance, and she calculated.
"Although the mother went to the temple, but the Liu family is still there, the mother will guard the capital for you. In addition, since this is what Princess Chaoyang means, since she said it, she must be able to do it..."
As she said that, she sighed with a solemn expression, yet relieved,
"That Gong Yimo... has a heart of benevolence and righteousness, and has a heroic attitude... She is not an ordinary woman, Huang'er, she used to be a mother with no eyes..."
