Besides, Wei Zhidao is also going on on the other side, which also requires money.
implementation of these two projects.
It will inevitably consume a large amount of money and national power of the court.
Especially when it is not built, it is almost useless.
Once the national strength is depleted, the fortune will definitely decline.
Not to mention how much luck has been ruined,
As long as the luck increases every month, the value of the tyrant will be at least 1,600.
It is enough for Wei Yunyi to do a lot of things.
How could he not be happy?
Of course, this is the speed at which money is spent.
This caused dissatisfaction among many officials in the court.
Because it happened so quickly, the newly collected tax revenue was reduced by 30% in less than a few days.
It should be noted that these two projects are just in their initial stages. If we wait until later, the cost will definitely be higher.
Therefore, many officials submitted memorials requesting that the two projects be postponed to avoid wasting time and money.
The Censorate, in particular, seems to have become more active recently.
There were more than a dozen memorials submitted almost every day.
only.
After meeting Wang Shouyuan, a dozen or so dishes a day didn't seem like a big deal.
Zhao Lingying also obeyed Wei Yunyi's orders and completely ignored such memorials.
She knew very well that both the Grand Canal and the Wei Straight Road seemed to be a waste of money and labor, but in fact, they were of great benefit to the Wei Dynasty, especially after they were completed.
However, due to the influence of the memorial, Zhao Lingying was also thinking about the issue of silver.
Although a large part of the tax revenue collected over the years must be released.
Used to do other things.
now.
The Ministry of Revenue cut almost all of its expenditures because of the two projects.
It seems that there won't be any problem for now, but it will be different over time.
After all, those previous ones were all expenses tacitly agreed upon by the court, and now they have been cut...
This means that some people cannot get the money.
Although they are all small things.
But a thousand-mile long dike can be destroyed by an ant hole.
This is especially true for a huge country, where no aspect can be ignored.
Therefore, she expressed her concerns, wondering if His Majesty had any solution to the problem.
But Wei Yunyi didn't care about these things at all. He just said that there are gains and losses. When it comes to major issues, especially national policies that benefit the country and the people, many things can give way.
Zhao Lingying did not refute this, because when she thought about it carefully, it was indeed true.
Even reforms cannot be perfect.
What’s more, there are two such huge projects?
Let’s talk about it later.
In his eyes, these two projects took good care of the people and increased their income, which was equivalent to the court benefiting the world.
Zhao Lingying, who had read many history books, understood very well that whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. As long as you stand on the side of the people, you don't have to worry about anything, no matter how big the chaos is.
At this moment, in Jingde Palace.
Zhao Lingying poured a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the recent construction of the Grand Canal and the Straight Road has been progressing smoothly. Especially the Grand Canal. According to the memorial submitted by the Supervisor Zhang Yingxing, preparations are now underway."
Upon hearing this, Wei Yunyi nodded. It had only been less than ten days since the imperial conference.
One of the two projects has already started construction and is progressing at a rapid pace.
Of course, the reason for this is because I am the emperor.
The reason for being urged throughout this process.
Otherwise, I don’t know how much time will be wasted.
"very good."
Wei Yunyi took a sip of tea and continued, "Remember, this is a big deal. Inform the Ministry of Revenue. If Zhang Yingxing needs money, approve it immediately and don't delay the construction."
Once the Grand Canal is started, it is best not to stop, otherwise it will continue to ruin your luck.
The Ministry of Revenue was in charge of the country's money and grain. Emptying the Ministry of Revenue was equivalent to emptying the national treasury.
In this case, are we still afraid that the national strength will not decline?
"I know."
Zhao Lingying replied that she was now in charge of handling memorials.
Therefore, after the two projects start, we need to control the entire process.
However, in her eyes, everything was going smoothly and nothing would go wrong. She then continued, "Your Majesty, the palace examination will be held in two days. This is the first imperial examination of the Tianqi Dynasty. It is said that many talented candidates have emerged."
"The Ministry of Rites submitted a memorial, asking whether, after the questions for this palace examination are finalized, they should be submitted to the Cabinet for review, or should they be reported back to His Majesty first?"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Wei Yunyi was stunned for a moment.
I almost forgot about the imperial examination.
As I recall, this imperial examination did produce several outstanding talents.
But he couldn't remember who it was.
certainly.
You don't need to think too much about these things, you will know when the time comes.
Generally speaking, the Ministry of Rites was in charge of the imperial examinations, from the provincial examinations to the metropolitan examinations.
Therefore, during this period, Wei Yunyi, as the emperor, had almost nothing to worry about and just had to wait.
But the palace examination is different.
The palace examination needs to be presided over by the emperor himself.
If you take it seriously, you might even start preparing for the questions.
However, if the emperor does not want to do this, he can leave it entirely to the cabinet.
Just like the previous dynasty, that is, the dynasty of Wei Yunyi’s father.
The questions for the palace examination are all reviewed by the cabinet.
Just follow the rules.
After the Ministry of Rites drafted the topic, it had to be approved by the emperor before it could be submitted to the cabinet.
But for Wei Yunyi, this matter was too troublesome, so after hearing this, he said: "Well, I understand. The imperial examination is a big deal. Please approve the Minister of Rites and let him hand it over directly to the cabinet."
