    "Brother Zheng! Look, you definitely don't like my throne, right?" Zhu Houzhao began to talk about his psychological journey.

    How to respond to this: "How should I answer so that you don't feel offended?"

    "It doesn't matter. I used to feel that the throne was not guaranteed, and it was really a bit unreliable. Now that I have been trained by the imperial sister, I have really figured it out. I actually don't want to be such a bad emperor, it's too annoying! But at least it was passed down from my father.  , and you don¡¯t want to take over, so what should I do? I have to work harder myself We are brothers, and if we are in trouble now, why don¡¯t you help us? "

    Sun Zheng was helpless. What stimulation did this child receive?  The progress of the Imperial Technique is not certain, this shameless energy has indeed reached another level!

    "Is this how you solve the problem? Throw the problem to your brothers?"

    "Isn't there no other way to go?" Zhu Houzhao put aside his moral integrity and let himself go completely: "Anyway, I asked all the civil and military officials in the court, and no one was willing to take charge of this matter. Think about it, the river workers they worked so hard to recruit are here.  Just like the money-spreading boy, the money cleared the way, but in a few days it was all empty again. Wouldn¡¯t they have to be exiled overseas again?

    "But we can't ignore the canal. Even if we don't rely on it to transport food, we still have to prevent it from overflowing and flooding. Now several passes are guarded by members of the Imperial Guard. The Ministry of War does not dare to send people, and the Ministry of Household Affairs is even more frightened.  If you dare to answer the call, no matter how many people you send, it will be in vain if you don¡¯t give me a solid explanation!

    "After thinking about it, the only one who can solve this problem now is Brother Zheng! If you really think that being a national advisor is not enough, there is no problem in wanting to be an emperor. You can make me a general, and I will be a navy admiral.  ¡­¡±

    "You are so beautiful!" Sun Zheng said angrily: "Go and do your job as emperor with a bright future!"

    "Then you leave me a fleet, and I will be a naval admiral! I have never seen the sea even though I have grown up."

    Sun Zheng thought of that joke again: "Isn't Zhongnanhai also a sea?"

    Pfft!  The two of them burst into laughter at the same time, and the blockage in their chests disappeared.  The only barrier between the two was the royal chair. Now it was confirmed that that thing was not a problem at all, and all problems disappeared naturally.

    Zhu Houzhao successfully threw the baggage to Sun Zheng and drove back to the palace with great satisfaction.

    On the 16th day of the first lunar month of the seventh year of Zhengde reign, the first thing to do was to discuss canal affairs.

    The current situation of the canal is right there.  Officials from the Ministry of Personnel did not dare to take on this hot potato; the Ministry of Household Affairs asked for money but had no money, and the Ministry of Industry asked for people; the Ministry of Work said that the canal affairs had long been opened and had nothing to do with them; the Ministry of War pretended to be a grandson and pretended that the tens of thousands of canals were lost.  The soldiers have nothing to do with them; the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment have nothing to do with them and are left alone.

    A group of people are arguing back and forth without any rules, but the smell of gunpowder between each other is getting stronger and stronger. They gradually go from questioning each other's motives to doubting each other's character. They point to the sky and the earth, quote scriptures, spit on each other's faces, and always say something serious.  No.

    Zhu Houzhao saw that the cabinet members said nothing and were too lazy to do those chores.  He directly put forward his own plan and assigned the entire canal and the five-mile area on both sides to the National Division Office.

    From now on, all matters related to the canal will be under the responsibility of the National Prefecture.  Water transportation is also completed by the Imperial Prefecture, and the warehouses in various places only need to transfer the grain.

    Officials who own land, real estate and other property within five miles of both sides of the river can go to the local Jinyiwei Yamen with their land deeds in exchange for money and food compensation.

    It was inevitable that many officials representing the interests of the gentry would jump in and try to reap benefits. Zhu Houzhao did not accept the offer at all. He simply said that this matter involves the safety of the canal. If anyone makes a big mistake and misses the construction period of the National Division, his family will be sent to the canal.  Guard the embankment!

    As soon as these words came out, the whole place went dark.

    The officials who can enter the Great Court have gone through many hardships to get through.  I have worked hard for decades and squeezed my head to get to where I am today. It is for enjoying happiness, not for guarding the canal and watching the embankment.

    In the past, there were millions of river workers guarding the river, and people would drown every year. But now there is not even a single ghost, so what can a few officials do?  Even a whole family bundle might not be enough to fill a small hole.

    The imperial edict was issued, and it was quickly approved by the cabinet. After sealing it, it was sent to the Imperial Prefecture in the capital. There was no need to go to sea to deliver the edict, and the effect was the same when it was sent here.

    In the Grand Councilor¡¯s Office, Wiki projected the live map of the canal, and Sun Zheng was thinking about how to maximize the benefits.

    "Sir! Based on the current actual situation of the Ming Dynasty, it is far more cost-effective to repair the canal and use motorized ships to navigate it than to build official roads or railways!"

    Wikipedia quickly launched a series of water transportation networks with the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal as the core and connecting the entire Ming Dynasty.

    Sun Zheng thought for a while: "Don't expand it yet, take down the canal first! We can't let those officials think that we are a threat, the right thing is to make money in silence!"The two official roads and 630 service stations along the route will be completed by the Mid-Autumn Festival this year.  Let Weichen recruit people as soon as possible and make arrangements in advance to avoid being in a hurry.  "

    Yang Tinghe has always been wary of Sun Zheng, and he felt incredible at this moment: "He didn't say anything about jurisdiction?"

    Mou Bin looked at the emperor and spoke after getting permission: "The Imperial Preceptor said that because of the maintenance needs of the canal itself, he did not trust others to hand it over. He was too lazy to care about anything else. Nanhai will arrange an inland river fleet to be responsible for the canal transportation.  It carries passengers and cargo, but it is better for the Jin Yiwei to be responsible for the specific government affairs. The Imperial Master also said"

    Zhu Houzhao didn't care about the presence of several pavilion elders, and waved his hand: "Tell the truth!"

    "I obey the order! The Imperial Master also said that this mute was the fault of him. If this happens again in the future, he will be charged!"

    Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly: "What a beautiful idea he has! It costs money, it costs my life I still can't bear it!"

    Several old old faces were black lines, listening, is this what the emperor should say?

    Zhu Houzhao stopped laughing and asked: "When will his fleet arrive? There is no shortage of food, and other goods still have to be transported."

    Mou Bin quickly replied: "The Imperial Master said that starting from the tenth day of March, there will be at least one boat sailing every day from the piers along the way, and merchants can buy tickets and take the boat."

    Zhu Houzhao smiled again: "Are you a few cabinet ministers relieved? Then let's settle it like this and let's break up!"

    The Grand Canal connecting the north and south of the Ming Dynasty was completely controlled by Sun Zheng.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
