Just like this, there will be a big battle.

In addition, the seven deadly crimes committed by the other party last year made the Holy Majesty very angry. If there is no accident, there will be a battle this year.

Today, he is already trying to come up with a war budget.

The Holy Majesty is going to deal with these tartars this year, and the budget and so on have to go out of him.

There is no need to discuss this matter. It stands to reason that at this time, one should cultivate one's health and well-being. Everywhere needs money, and indeed there is no money to come out of it.

However, it was not easy to persuade the Holy Majesty last year, but now I am afraid that it will not be so easy, so I can persuade him.

This battle is inevitable.

"However, the Xinghan Empire has a vast territory, and it only relies on the court to build roads. The cost and time it takes are indeed too great."

Lu Chensheng changed the subject, somewhat agreeing with what Li Daifu said.

In such a large place, it is too difficult to build roads for the entire country just relying on their current productivity.

When Li Daifu heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and he wanted to know the specific thoughts of the Holy Majesty.

Lu Chensheng pondered for a while, and continued to speak, "Well, then, you go to discuss with those businessmen from aristocratic families, and give up the production formula of cement, on the condition that they have to repair some roads."

The profit of cement is still very large. If it is let out, there will not be much loss.

The Xinghan Empire is too big, and the cake is too big.

At present, the cement produced by Xing Seoul itself needs to be used in a lot of places, and after it is distributed, it will not affect the income very much.

And in this way, there are still people helping to build the road. This business is very cost-effective.

Li Daifu was stunned when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed, this matter really won his heart.

In this way, the household department can reduce another expenditure, and he is very happy.

Li Daifu immediately agreed happily, ready to deal with this matter later.

"The canal before, how is it being built now?"

Now that he talked about the canal, Lu Chensheng asked a lot.

At the beginning, there was a canal built in Xinghan City to the Chengzhou Kingdom, but it was broken later.

After arriving, because the Chengzhou Kingdom was also taken down, it started to be repaired again, and I don't know how the construction is going now.

Those who built the canal used captives at that time, and it has not changed now.

Because of this, a lot of money was saved. Apart from this, many people were recruited to build the canal.

For some people, building canals can also give them an extra income.

Unlike in the past, building canals and so on was direct labor without any money.

For those who are miserable, they need to bring their own food.

The comparison here can be said to be one world and one earth.

"Returning to the Holy Spirit, the canal is still under construction, but many of the captives died."

Wang Tianxun replied that the captives had captured many people, except some who were pressed to dig canals, some were pressed to dig mines, and some were to grind limestone.

In short, there are traces of captives in many places.

It's just that the treatment of these captives was not very good, and many people died on the way.

The Holy Majesty never cared much about these captives, and he would not even ask a word when they died, so this situation became much more serious.

Hearing this, Lu Chensheng thought as Wang Tianxun did, and was not angry or anything, but frowned unconsciously.

"Salary and so on, make it better, if everyone is dead, digging the canal will cost an extra sum, and there are mining and so on, rare coolies, if you don't have them, it will be difficult for you to get them in the future arrive."

What Lu Chensheng said made Li Daifu nod repeatedly.

"That's right, it's still wise to see how you do it. If those captives are all dead, then you will come to me again to ask for money. Wouldn't it be better to save some money?"

Li Daifu nodded frequently, and was extremely rude when speaking to Wang Tianxun.

This guy, among the six films, he is the most diligent in asking for money.

We all know that it is not easy to get money from ourselves, why don't we know where to save a little?

Captives can save a lot of money. If there are more captives, the effect will be even better!

Hearing this, the corner of Wang Tianxun's mouth twitched slightly, and he glanced at Li Daifu, but his expression was not so good-looking.

What does this guy have to do with being a captive in his daily life!

He wanted to run a few words against Li Daifu, but the meaning was still the sage's, so Wang Tianxun didn't say anything more to Li Daifu, but turned his head and nodded at Lu Chensheng with a somewhat solemn expression.

"Yes, I understand."

Lu Chensheng nodded, "If there are no accidents this year, we can go to the grassland to teach that so-called Khan a lesson. Maybe we can bring back many prisoners. The progress of excavation of that canal can be accelerated a lot."

Chapter 7 Fifteen is too worthy

Attack the steppe.

This is something that Lu Chensheng has already decided on, and it was already decided last year.

However, as in previous years, when the autumn harvest is about to come, it is enough to attack, and now the time is not up, so don't worry.

There are still many advantages to attacking the grassland. You can get some cattle and sheep, and you can also capture some prisoners.

In the past, the vitality of the opponent was severely injured, but now he is shooting, not giving the opponent a chance to breathe.

In Lu Chensheng's opinion, it's still very good.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Wang Tianxun was immediately happy.

With more prisoners, he can build water conservancy projects without having to ask for money all the time.

Now he is planning water conservancy everywhere, and where there is a lack of water, he finds a way to divert water from the Pingyun Mountains.

According to today's technology, water transfer can be said to be much simpler. The huge pipes made of cement are extremely convenient for water transfer.

However, the construction of canals is still the top priority.

With canals, transportation is much more convenient.

This time, the snow disaster is that many places are not close to the canal, so it is extremely inconvenient to transport supplies. If there is a canal, it will be much more convenient.

"You still have to worry more about the canal. If you can speed up the repair, just speed up."

"Yes, I understand."

When Wang Tianxun heard the words, he immediately responded.

Seeing this, Lu Chensheng nodded in satisfaction. He can still trust these ministers in handling affairs.

Although Wang Tianxun is now the minister of the Ministry of Industry, he still pays close attention to some things, so as not to disappoint Lu Chensheng.

However, if Wang Tianxun hadn't been reliable in his work, it would have been impossible for him to be in his current position.

"Your Majesty, the Loulan Kingdom of the 36 Western Regions has sent envoys to ask for help from the Xinghan Kingdom. For example, there are only a dozen countries in the 36 Western Regions, and many of them are still fighting.

The envoys who came here hoped that Xinghan Kingdom could mediate from it, saying that if the fight continued like this, they might not be able to do business in Xinghan City in the future. "

After coming to trade, the way back was too long, and it was extremely easy to be ambushed.

Moreover, such a battle has been going on for too long, and it is not easy for them to come out. They are afraid that if they come out once and go back to the country, they will be gone.

If the Xinghan Empire intervened, the situation would be much better.

Hearing these words, Lu Chensheng was slightly taken aback.

"These 36 countries' own battles, why are we still asking for help now? And they are willing to listen to what I say?"

Lu Chensheng was not arrogant enough to think that he could stop them all with just one word.

I felt a little strange in my heart, so I asked this question.

Li Daifu smiled when he heard the words, "Now that the Xinghan Empire has completed the great unification, who doesn't know about the elites under its command? Even the Zanda clan on the grassland has suffered a big loss. Which one of the 36 countries in the Western Regions doesn't know?

If the Holy Majesty spoke, they would naturally listen.

The most important thing is that the few remaining countries now have some close contacts with us. If they don't listen to the words of the Holy Majesty, Xinghan City can not trade with them at all, and they will still suffer at that time.

Therefore, they will still listen to the words of the Holy Majesty.

What's more, if the Xinghan Empire subsidized one of them, the other countries would not be rivals. "

Not to mention other things, if Xing Seoul subsidizes one of them and uses the weapons produced by Xing Seoul to assist one of them to completely unify, then there is no problem.

So Lu Chensheng's words are actually much heavier than what Lu Chensheng said.

When Lu Chensheng heard this, he suddenly realized.

Thinking about it, the current Xing Seoul City does have such authority. After completing the unification, it has demonstrated its national strength one after another before.

In addition, some armor items sold can also make many people realize the strength of the Xinghan Empire.

"My lord, do you want to agree to it? If you don't agree, I'm afraid it will indeed reduce a lot in terms of transactions."

There are still a lot of good things in the 36 countries of the Western Regions, and many of them are things that can make Star Seoul a lot of money.

Li Daifu didn't want to give up so easily, nor did he think that the transaction would be interrupted just like that.

When it is empty, it will still be the treasury.

Lu Chensheng pondered for a moment, thinking about the pros and cons of this.

But for such things, Lu Chensheng needs to think carefully about the disadvantages inside, so as to avoid making wrong choices as much as possible.

After a long while, Lu Chensheng nodded.

"Agreed, there seems to be no disadvantages for the Xinghan Empire, so let's agree. Are people from other countries in this Xinghan City?"

"Return to the sage, they are all in the city right now, if the sage wants to see them, all they need to do is summon them."

Lu Chensheng thought for a while, "If this matter is left to you to handle, can it be handled well if I don't participate?"

Li Daifu was taken aback when he heard this, and then quickly said, "Your Majesty, after all, they are also nations. If your Majesty doesn't show up, would you be too contemptuous of them? It's easy to irritate them, and I don't have the face to do so!"

After all, people are all countries. Although they are small, changes are a fact of the countries.

It would not be a good thing if Lu Chensheng let him do this and made the other party dissatisfied.

Lu Chensheng listened to the words, and after thinking about it, he felt the same way.

"So, let's summon them to the Pingxi Valley Rhyme Hall to have an audience."

This hall looks like a dug stream, with a small bridge built on the stream, with seats on the bridge, and the surrounding layout is like a valley, which is built on the mountain wall.

If you go in in summer, you will feel as cool as winter.

Going in in winter, you can also feel the silence of the valley, which is a different feeling.

In the imperial palace, there are several such halls, each with its own merits.

The flowers and plants inside are carefully selected and taken care of by gardeners every day.

It can be said that many places in this palace are full of beauty.

If it weren't for this, Yueyue and Nianyi wouldn't like to run around and play in the palace, there are some places that you can't get enough of.

"My lord, using this place to summon them, do you think highly of them?"

Wang Tianxun knew about this hall, he said it was a hall, but it was really too big, and the scenery layout inside was far out of the scope of a hall.

Wang Tianxun felt that using this place to summon people from these small countries really thought highly of them.

To summon these people, just find any imperial garden.

"Hey, it's just a palace. They have also brought a lot of benefits to Xinghan City, so they can't be so stingy."

Lu Chensheng waved his hand, feeling that Wang Tianxun was too petty.

Chapter 7 Sixteen Summoned

Wang Tianxun heard that the Holy Master said so, so he didn't say much, but after answering, someone immediately summoned him.

Lu Chensheng continued to discuss the next state affairs with the ministers.
