More and more people support the collection of commercial taxes. He Wangzhong has no choice but to choose to agree to pay taxes. According to the tax collection method discussed before, it is not much.

"Since all the ministers have agreed, then we should discuss the formulation of a law on tax collection to regulate tax collection by officials, and also formulate tax collection standards. Once the standards are formulated, they will not be easily changed in a short period of time. Of course, if there are any major mistakes, they also need to be adjusted and supplemented."

"I will leave this matter for now. In the next few days, I will convene relevant officials to formulate tax collection laws. Then, I will let the ministers see the laws and flaws and discuss the rules. Now, there is one last major event, which can be considered as road construction. I plan to build a canal that runs through the north and south. What do you think of the ministers?"

Now it’s not just a hope, Dong Wei can’t sit still. If the remaining money and food are enough after the expenses of artillery and road construction, then it will definitely not be enough to build a canal.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible to build a canal."

Dong Wei also said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the first two items have already been spent on a small half of the national treasury. With a canal, the national treasury cannot hold on."

Yang Tianci waved his hand and said, "I know what my dear said. So, the court will not invest too much in it, and most of the silver will be held by Yichuan. If his silver is not enough, I will not let him make such a fool of himself. So, he will raise funds. If there is no tens of millions of silver, he will never be allowed to make trouble."

"However, Ichichuan is quite confident, so we have made preparations and discuss them first. Moreover, Ichichuan also said that it is not necessary to complete the entire construction in a short period of time, but to build it in stages and time. It is expected that the north and south will be completely connected in five to eight years. During this period, most of the cost of building the canal will be found by Ichichuan and will be borne by the Xihe Chamber of Commerce."

Dong Wei was a little silent. If the court had not paid the money and did not need to pay from the treasury, it would have been a big problem. He Wangzhong would not agree so easily, after all, this matter involved Yang Yichuan. "Your Majesty, Prince Chuan and the Xihe Chamber of Commerce may not have so much money. What's more, building a canal also requires a large number of people, and building a road already requires a lot of people."

After hearing this, Yang Tianci also felt that it made sense, but the road construction matter had been decided before. Moreover, the construction of the canal was indeed agreed to Yang Yichuan, and now he is a little embarrassed.

"Let's do this, go down and recruit wanderers from all over the world, and those with labor can build canals and roads. Of course, so many people also need to build camps. The camps also require people to clean up and maintain, and some people also need to do some people."

This method was also given to Yang Tianci by Professor Yang Yichuan. Even in the Great Power Dynasty, the profession of beggars still exists now. There are a lot of labor among them. As long as you use it well, you can not only reduce the number of beggars, but also complete the established plan.

He Wangzhong saw that Yang Tianci was prepared, and if he was a beggar, doing so undoubtedly gave them a legitimate job, and He Wangzhong had no reason to object.

"Your Majesty, this is a road construction and a canal construction, which may still affect the people."

Yang Tianci also continued, "There will be some influence, but as long as the government coordinates well, there will be no major problems. However, the convenience and benefits brought by the road and canal are real after the road and canal are built. In this way, are there any questions about the construction of the canal?"

Sun Wenkai, who is in charge of the canal transportation, also asked, "Your Majesty, will this canal be under the jurisdiction of the court after it is built?"

"Of course, when transporting the canal, you still have to charge money, but it will give you a cheaper price. In addition, he also has many things to transport through the canal. When it does not affect the normal canal or the transportation of important materials, he can meet this condition when the transportation volume he requires is large."

After hearing this, Sun Wenkai found that this was just a convenience, and it was not even considered open the back door. "Yes, I have no doubts."

"Then let it be. Next, we will find a few teams of scholars and officials who are more knowledgeable in water conservancy and start planning the construction of the canal. Make plans first, plan the section next year, how much to build, how long it is expected to be repaired, and what it looks like, and then wait until next year to start construction according to the plan."

"I will receive the order."

"Okay, OK, there are only so many things to discuss today, and there are also situations in various places that need to be prepared early. Once heavy snow occurs and the people are hurt, the court needs to know the news as soon as possible and arrange it."

"yes."

"Let's just do it, let's all be separated. Duke Ding and General Xiao stay for a while. I still have something to discuss with you."

"Yes, your Majesty."

"I'm going to leave."

The other ministers also left. Yang Tai, Duke of Ding, was a little bit energetic and didn't go to court very much. This time he was called over, and Yang Tai was still a little confused. Now he was left alone, he was even more confused. No, and he still had no friendship with Xiao Tianjing. Yang Tai thought that he had no friendship with Xiao Tianjing, and it shouldn't be a big deal to be kept together.

Xiao Tianjing was also a little curious. The two most likely things were the marriage between Yang Yizhuang and Xiao Muxue, and the other was military reform.

"Actually, this is what he said." Yang Tianci was also a little embarrassed and a little confused.

"Forget it, I just talked straight. It was also for the sake of the child of Yichuan. This child did not study hard and instead learned to be a flirtatious person, saying that he wanted to marry Mu Xue and Ru Xu. As a father, I had to kiss him in a difficult situation."

Xiao Tianjing was stunned. It was originally a marriage between the two, but Xiao Tianjing had no objection, but now there is another Yang Tai daughter Yang Ruxu, which is a little problem. Yang Tai naturally didn't want to do so. If Yang Ruxu was the only one, Yang Tai would have no objection.

"Your Majesty, I don't agree. If it were only Ru Xu, I would have no objection. But if it wasn't for the big deal, I wouldn't agree no matter what I said."

Xiao Tianjing was also speechless. He thought that Yang Yichuan was already very cognizable, but now he has done such a thing.

"Your Majesty, I don't agree. My Xiao family's pearl in my hand will not be a small one."

Yang Tianci looked at the two of them, and Yang Tianci still couldn't do such things. So, he could only hope that Bai Xiuqin could convince Xiao Muxue and Yang Ruxu.

"This, let's do it. Yichuan's mother is also chatting with Mu Xueruxu. Why not go and see how things are going together."

Yang Tai and Xiao Tianjing looked so good. Unexpectedly, they had such a trick. If they couldn't say it, they went to find him directly. This trick caught the two of them off guard and could not be defended.
