Chapter 312

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, when all the officials went to court, Li Kuo looked at Fu Wenhan and said, "Mr. Fu, has the construction of the Grand Canal started?"

Hearing this, Fu Wenhan took a step forward, saluted and said, "The people from the Ministry of Industry have already set off, but the new year has just passed, and the weather is still very cold. Ordinary agricultural workers cannot adapt."

"That's why I plan to lead the personnel from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War to build a private house at a site outside the city. After about ten days, the construction can be officially started."

"In the south, I have asked Mr. Chen Zhonghe from the Ministry of Industry, Mr. Sun Changhai, Mr. Sun, and Mr. Zhao Changlin to bring the blueprints and set off."

"The climate in the south is slightly warmer, and the land and trees are relatively good. I believe that the construction will basically start at the same time in ten days."

"As long as the follow-up personnel, materials and logistics are not affected, according to the inference of the minister and the son-in-law, the Grand Canal can definitely be completed."

Li Kuo smiled when he heard this.

"Okay, all adults must cooperate with Mr. Fu. The Grand Canal is a matter of the country, and there must be no ambiguity."

At this moment, Song Lian, the minister of the household department, took a step forward with a grim expression, and said, "Your Majesty, although the state treasury only collected a sum of tax money, the tax money involves multiple purposes."

"Dig four sections of the Grand Canal at the same time, and the treasury may not be able to do it."

Li Kuo knew that this was indeed a problem, so he didn't get angry directly, but asked calmly, "How much money is there?"

Song Lian was silent for a while and said: "Now the Grand Canal has not been excavated. It is hard to say how much it will cost. Counting the remaining tax money from the treasury, there will be a gap of 300 million taels."

This is just an initial estimate, but if there is one undercount, the silver will be an addition of 10,000+10,000+.

Li Kuo breathed a sigh of relief, 300 million is not too much. Li Xiuzhu sold a few more officials after he sold his official position last time.

"This part of the money, I will find a way."

Um?At this moment, all civil and military officials in the court raised their heads and looked at Li Kuo in amazement, not understanding how Li Kuo dared to say such a sentence.

Now the annual tax is only more than 300 million, how dare you.

Wait, at this moment, smart people are already trembling, especially those smart people with unclean hands and feet and rich people.

Can be mixed with their high position and weight, which person's family production is less than [-]?As for those wealthy people, those with a family fortune of over one million cannot be counted on both hands.

At this moment, all the smart people thought that Li Kuo was going to take someone out of them. This...at least three or five homes would be ransacked.

"Fu Xiang, continue to report what you need, and today's court will be dominated by you."

"No, regarding the transfer of the army, I plan to transfer the ten guards of the sixteen guards of the capital first, and the border generals..."

It is not difficult to transfer troops, it is nothing more than changing from daily military training to hard work.

And the food in the army is good. For others, it is hard work, but for them it is no different from training.

Li Xiuzhu went to the Prince's Mansion that night, seeing Li Xiuzhu again, Haibie's eyes were extremely complicated.

It was a look that wanted to kill Li Xiuzhu, neither dared nor hesitated.

Li Xiuzhu was slightly startled when he felt Haibie's faint killing intent, and then he heard Haibie's inner voice, and immediately understood what was going on.

"Why is he Li Xiuzhu? He killed my brother and killed so many people of Silla."

"What should I do? If I kill him, will Silla enter the war again?"

"And, and he's my man now, I..."

"Why is he my man, woo woo woo."

"What happened to Sister Nalan, didn't she go to kill Li Xiuzhu? Did she fail?"

Sister-in-law Nalan?Bright moon?It turned out that her surname was Nalan, but she didn't know if Mingyue was her real name or a fake name.

He looked at Haibie.

"It seems that you know who I am, and you want to kill me?"

As soon as the word "kill me" was uttered, Xiao Rongyu and Yu Xuanji at the side were startled for a moment, and immediately looked at Haibie vigilantly.

Yu Xuanji had already done it voluntarily when he was with Li Xiuzhu, how could he let others harm his husband?This is the rest of her life.

Haibie didn't deny it, but looked at Li Xiuzhu with a complicated expression and asked: "Why? Why is it you, I thought it could be anyone, and I accepted my fate, but why is it you."

"Why are you so cruel to me?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard the words, and said: "There is no right or wrong when two countries are at war, and it is normal for dead people to die."

"It's as if you Silla used to fight autumn winds on the border, and you don't know how many people you killed in Dazhou. Why are you planning to commit suicide for your Silla soldiers?"

"As for your matter, I didn't know it at first, but of course I didn't object after I knew it."

"You are just a woman, a beautiful woman. If the prince is willing to give it to you, I will keep it."

"You can take revenge if you want, but as long as you dare to do it, you will be dead whether it succeeds or not."

"Of course you may not be afraid of death, but if you assassinate the future king, Silla will fall into war again. If I don't die, I will definitely lead my troops to destroy Silla."

"If I die, then someone else will lead troops to destroy Silla, and Silla will be destroyed no matter what."

"Based on your current situation in Silla, if you want to kill me, you'd better endure it for 50 years, and then consider this matter after your Silla regains its vitality and national strength."

In 50 years, the corner of Haibie's mouth twitched slightly. I'm afraid I will die of old age in 50 years.

In this world where the average age of forty is considered a long life, few people can live to seventy or eighty.

Haibie let go of his murderous intentions in silence, feeling a little dazed for a while.

"So in the future, I will have a child for my enemy?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled, feeling like a woman who had slept in her childhood, and also contributed to the country.

Well, if you have a chance, you must kill the little days, and then kill all the men, use the good-looking women to contribute to the country, and use the unattractive ones to intermarry and Sinicize the people of Dazhou.

"Speaking of which, I caught an assassin a while ago, do you know Nalan Mingyue?"

As soon as the assassin and Nalan Mingyue appeared, Haibie's pupils shrank instantly.

"Sister-in-law Nalan was indeed caught. It seems that sister-in-law's assassination failed."

"What should I do? Should I say it? No, I can't say, Nalan's sister-in-law assassinated him, if he blames Silla, then Silla will be in danger."

"I do not……"

"After thinking about it, the surname Nalan is not common in Dazhou. I have sent someone to investigate in Silla. If you lie to me, then don't blame me for attacking Silla."

"It's over, he knows his sister-in-law's name, and he can find it out as soon as he goes to Silla. If I lie again, he will only be angry."

Haibie was silent for a while, but decided to tell the truth, all she can fight for now is forgiveness.

"Nalan Mingyue is my sister-in-law. Your army killed her husband, who is also my elder brother Zheluo."
