The eldest princess pampered the beautiful, strong and miserable proton queen

Emperor Nanxing's expression paled: "Go and apologize to the eldest princess."

"Yes," Dr. Liu bowed his head and got up, walked in front of the eldest princess, bowed his head and apologized: "Just now, I was a low-ranking official and insulted the eldest princess with words, please forgive me."

Jiang Fuguang nodded: "Doctor Liu, please be careful with your words."

If at this time, he was facing his father, he would not dare to confront him with words.

Only then did Doctor Liu heave a sigh of relief, and cut to the chase: "The prefect of Hangzhou has detailed in the booklet that the related funds for the maintenance of the river and various expenditures require a total of 30 taels of silver. I checked it out. Over the years, various dams in Hangzhou The maintenance expenses range from a million taels to no less than 30 taels, but the eldest princess only approved 20 taels, why is that?"

Yushitai chose this matter to prove that the eldest princess has no ability to govern the country and should not be involved in politics.

Jiang Fuguang said in a low voice: "Huigang enters the west of Zhejiang Province from the east, and passes through Xin'an to Jiande two counties. From April to July every year, the rainy season is concentrated and there are occasional tides. I remember that the two dams in Xin'an County are the three dams in Nanxing. Newly built in [-], it took a lot of money, manpower, and material resources, and it took two or three years to complete the project. It is also solid, and it is only ten years ago."

Her voice was clear and clear, like big pearls falling on a jade plate, high and low, cadenced, echoing clearly in the hall.

"In the 12th year of Nanxing, Gu stood on the main hall today and asked His Majesty to build dams and canals to divert the river water to reduce the load on the main dam. Your Majesty agreed."

Doctor Liu wanted to make a big fuss about the maintenance of the embankment and find her fault.

She mentioned this incident to remind Dr. Liu and the court ministers that in the entire Southern Dynasty, no one valued water conservancy matters more than her.

In this way, no matter what conspiracy Dr. Liu has, he will not be able to hold water.

Emperor Nanxing nodded his head. After reading "Shui Jing Zhu", Fu Guang had a lot of insights on water control and dam repair. This is how Nanxing added dams in 12 years.

In the past few years, the weather in Zhejiang has been smooth, and even if it rains for more than ten days in a row, the fields will not be flooded.

It is merit in the present age and benefit in the future.

Doctor Liu looked annoyed, and took a deep breath: "How important is the river channel inspection? The Princess only approved 20 taels of river channel repair funds, isn't it a bit too little? It hasn't been so small in previous years. If the river channel inspection is not thorough , causing floods, so what should we do?"

"Doctor Liu didn't understand the meaning of Gu." Jiang Fuguang glanced at the hall and chuckled, "The dam in Xin'an County is a new dam. It has been in use for less than three years. The Ministry of Industry has guaranteed that it will be impenetrable. How could it collapse so easily? How? Need 30 taels of maintenance money?"

Cheng Engong's eyelids twitched heavily, and he couldn't help but tighten his grip on Chao Hu's hand.

Dr. Liu was speechless immediately: "What if, what if the Dragon Boat Festival floods, the wind doesn't last forever, the rainstorm doesn't last forever, what if it rains continuously for two months?"

"This kind of thing is rare in the past," Jiang Fuguang sighed softly. "If this kind of thing really happened, it would not be a trivial matter such as repairing the dam. It would be better to tear it down and rebuild it now, and build a building that can withstand two months of heavy rain." What do you think Doctor Liu thinks of the embankment?"

Doctor Liu blushed, and lowered his head embarrassingly.

What is the use of repairing the dam if something like this really happens?Might as well spend the money on disaster relief.

Jiang Fuguang simply made his words clear: "Gu participated in the design of the dam in Xin'an County back then, and knew all the repairs like the back of his hand. Li Taishou didn't know much about the dam as well as Gu, so Li Taishou's memorial contains many false facts. At the same time, I thought it was prudent, so I ignored it, but the maintenance fee of 20 taels is not much more.”

These words are naturally convincing.

Everyone knows that the 12-year-old eldest princess of Xin'an County embankment participated in the entire repair and construction. The courtiers were very unconvinced at the time, but the eldest princess took the "Shui Jing Zhu" and the blueprint of the embankment, and the Ministry of Industry. The court debated for three full days.

The Ministry of Industry also supports:

"The dam is as solid as gold. It has been used for less than three years. It only needs to clean the river regularly and strengthen the embankment. Naturally, it will not collapse easily."

"If it collapses after less than three years of use, it is not a problem of maintenance, but a problem of the embankment."

"20 taels is enough."

"..."

Doctor Liu couldn't bear it, and argued: "In the past years, the maintenance of various dams in Huigang has never been less than 30 taels of silver. The eldest princess has not long participated in political affairs, so she should follow the old practice. This is more appropriate and more convincing."

He was right.

Jiang Fuguang didn't refute, just laughed lightly, and said: "Knowing that there is no need to spend a lot of money, but in order to follow the old practice, it is wrong to spend more money. It is because the money in the national treasury is flooded, and you treat your majesty as a fool?"

Doctor Liu secretly groaned, not even daring to speak.

He didn't speak, but Jiang Fuguang had something to say: "In the past two years, there have been frequent wars in Lingnan. The Ministry of War often uses the reason that the treasury is not rich and the Ministry of Households is in short supply. What was going on in your head when you spent a lot of money on the Huigang Dam?"

Both external troubles and internal troubles are important, Ye Shangshu of the Ministry of War can't hold back his face, but it's hard to argue.

On the other side of the household department, when it comes to spending money, they bury their heads in their chests.

As far as matters related to the army, generals have the right to speak, Qi Linfeng and other generals quickly agreed.

"What the eldest princess said is true."

"Eldest Princess's reduction of expenses for the national treasury is a move that benefits the country and the people. How come it is said by Doctor Liu that it is something wrong with Eldest Princess?"

"Doctor Liu, as the official Yushi, the chief of the Yushitai, you must pay attention to the facts when you speak."

"..."

Doctor Liu, and the courtiers who supported Doctor Liu, suddenly turned into quails. If they had money to waste their money, but they didn't have money to recruit troops, who would dare to take the lead in this matter?

If something goes wrong in the war, which one of them can afford it?
Emperor Nanxing swept all the officials in the court: "My lords, do you still have any objections to this matter?"

After waiting for a while, no one spoke.

Emperor Nanxing said: "Since this is the case, there is nothing inexhaustible, inaccurate or inappropriate about the Zhang Princess's review of Li Taishou's papers in Hangzhou County. Can you agree with me?"

Qi Linfeng spoke first: "Your Majesty is wise."

Only then did the courtiers agree.

Emperor Nanxing said again: "Then, this matter will come to an end."

Doctor Liu was also depressed. They had read all the memorials reviewed by the eldest princess one by one, and they were able to pick out many faults. But recently, the government and the public are busy with patrolling the fields, and everyone is preparing to go to Beijing to congratulate them. Big things, besides, the real big things are handled by His Majesty, and it is not up to the Eldest Princess to review them.

Only the excerpts of Li Taishou of Hangzhou County allowed them to catch the obvious inappropriateness.

The overhaul of the river and embankment is also very important, enough for them to make a fuss, but as soon as they came up, the eldest princess pulled a thousand catties in four or two, and gave it away.
