Faced with Guan Ning's doubts, He Bai smiled slightly. One million sets of books may be a big problem in the eyes of the ancients, but what is it in his own eyes? Just use woodblock printing, and then use regular or Song font as the principle. One million sets of books can be obtained within two or three months. If you use movable type printing, it is afraid it will be faster. But He Bai cannot pull out the seedlings in advance to facilitate growth, so he should use woodblock printing first.

He Bai smiled and said, "I have a way to get one million sets of books in a short time without having to copy them."

Guan Ning asked in surprise: "Master of the Kingdom, I wonder what kind of magic is such a magical power?"

Everyone listened with their ears, because it was difficult to read at this time, and relatively speaking, it was because of the difficulty of reading. Especially for borrowing and copying rare and lonely books, tens of thousands of words were fine, but hundreds of thousands of words were definitely a big project. He Bai actually said that one million sets of books were a small problem, so how could this be possible?

When He Bai was about to tell everyone, he suddenly realized that control and technology confidentiality are important factors in the development of a force. Although woodblock printing is nothing, it is of great benefit to a force cultivating a large number of talents. At present, it cannot be exposed in advance, so as not to be used by others and increase his strength in advance. It is better to wait until the world is in chaos and the princes only pay attention to the military.

He Bai smiled and said, "I won't talk about this method for now. As long as Youth'an can build enough schools within half a year and summon enough teachers and students. After half a year, I will present one million sets of books on time."

Guan Ning looked up and bowed his face and said with a solemn look: "A gentleman's word."

He Bai laughed loudly and bowed and said, "It's hard to chase after all."

At this time, Zheng Xuan said: "The "Beihai Restoration Project Plan" written by the Prime Minister, I saw the true implementation of the "Yin and Yang and Five Elements" of the country. The straight road is mainly beneficial to the army and merchants; the dredging and reinforcement of rivers, pond renovation, and water conservancy irrigation are beneficial to farmers; the construction of schools is beneficial to scholars; the construction of hospitals and the cultivation of doctors is beneficial to the world. However, the project is huge, I am afraid that the money, grain and manpower are insufficient, and it is difficult to implement for a while, and it cannot be successful in ten years. If the Prime Minister compresses it within three years, it may be suspected of being eager for success."

Sun Shao frowned and said, "The Prime Minister's plan is for the people of the North Sea. If it can be completed on time, it will be a great blessing for me in Beihai. Peng Shouzheng, if these plans are implemented, how much money will it cost?"

Peng Yan bowed and said, "According to the prime minister's establishment, straight roads not only connect all counties, but also form straight road networks among the counties. Just now, I roughly calculated that the Beihai country needs ten thousand miles long and ten steps wide (nearly 14 meters). Although it is smaller than the fifty-step straight roads in the pre-Qin period, the length is not short, and it is not a simple project. A straight road of one mile requires 20,000 yuan for earth and stone materials, and 200 million yuan for ten thousand miles. For manpower, a three-month battle will be charged for 100,000 people."

He Bai coughed lightly and interrupted, "The road construction requires success at one time, and it should not be delayed for a long time. It is better to complete the construction within these three months of winter."

"A three-month battle for 100,000 people?" Bingyuan immediately bowed and shouted in surprise: "No, no, such heavy labor force, even if calculated in three years, a one-month labor force of 100,000 people per month will probably cause civil unrest in the county, let alone within three months. The Prime Minister of the State, we need to know that there are still 50,000 Yellow Turban thieves in the country. If the Yellow Turban thieves take advantage of the situation, I am afraid that the entire Beihai will rebel."

He Bai smiled and said, "This battle is not hard labor. Those who are in labor service will be given food. They will be given 600 yuan in wages every month. They can be paid monthly. Are there anyone unhappy?"

When Bing Yuan heard this, he was suffocated and murmured: "The government's corvee work needs to pay for service?"

Everyone was stunned. Yes, since ancient times, whether it is court or local government projects, labor service is required to be collected, so there is no need to pay wages. The annual labor service fee is only exempted from one month of labor service. If you need to perform labor service for several months to more than half a year, you have to continue to perform labor service after paying the money. If the quality is not up to standard, you may even die of exhaustion and illness. Therefore, there is a saying that the nursery rhyme says that you are not afraid of heavy taxes and only fear of labor service.

He Bai tidied up his clothes and then said solemnly: "Since ancient times, the emperor and officials have believed that people's power is something that can be collected at any time. I am not very opposed to this. Sometimes large projects such as the Great Wall, the emperor's tombs, etc. can only be completed by everyone. If they do not recruit the whole country, it will be difficult to gather huge manpower."

"However, to recruit civil servants to perform labor service, the civil servants must let them put down their own things and come to serve the public. However, sometimes the project needs to be served for several months or more than half a year, so the civil servants will inevitably be unable to return home to manage their family business. After losing the most important labor in the family, the people missed the farming season. How should they live in the next year?"

"I heard that Emperor Shin-Yin Emperor built the Great Wall, and there were bones in every corner of the Great Wall. Such violent behavior, even if the Great Wall is beneficial to the country, what is the use of building it? The pre-Qin period was not destroyed in the second generation. Therefore, I think that levying corvee is feasible, but it must be levied with the idea of ​​benevolence and deeds. We must divide military service and civil service. Military service can be forced to be entrusted, and civil service needs to be transformed with virtue. We must not impose excessive punishment on the people. As long as the losses are made up, even if it is the corvee service for the whole year, I believe the people will not object."

Everyone was amazed, and Zheng Xuan bowed: "The kingdom is really a benevolent and righteous king. It is really a blessing for me to be the prime minister of Beihai. It seems that what I had hoped for before has finally come true."

Peng said heavily: "In this way, it would cost 250 million yuan for one wage alone. Adding earth and stone materials would cost 450 million yuan, which is more than this year's tax revenue. And siltation and reinforcement of rivers, pond renovation, and farmland water conservancy construction are probably not less than straight road projects; building schools and hospitals, summoning good teachers, and cultivating doctors will be another big expense. A rough calculation would mean that no one billion yuan may not be able to accomplish anything."

Cui Yan said at this time: "Cleaning and strengthening rivers, pond renovation, farmland water conservancy construction and people will benefit, and building schools, hospitals and people will also benefit. I believe that the people will only be afraid of working enthusiastically and will not care too much about wages."

Peng Yu then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This would reduce the wages of 300 million to 400 million yuan."

But He Bai disagreed and said, "If the government's money is taken from the people, it should make more profits for the people. Although corvee labor is for the benefit of the people, it cannot gain the interests of the people because of the service."

Guoyuan said hesitantly: "It's just one billion... Even if we don't receive half a liter of salary, it will take ten years of tax revenue to collect it."

Xi Lu bowed to He Bai and said, "The prime minister, the ministers think that they may summon wealthy families from all over the Beihai to discuss matters and ask them to pay money and food, which can reduce the pressure on the government."

Zhao Shang, who was born in a poor family, shook his head and said, "Most of them are people who forget their righteousness when they see profit. They have a small amount of money, but they are afraid that everyone will reject them by a huge amount of money."

Guoyuan nodded in agreement, "I think there must be a loyal and generous family in the country who can help you, you can try it."

Xi Lu refuted his proposal and said, "Compared with a huge amount of money, I'm afraid it's still too small."

At this time, Peng Yu, who was standing aside, said heavily: "There is a way to gather most of the money?"

"What method?" Everyone turned to inquire.

Peng Yan said solemnly: "The King of North Sea has died, and I am afraid there are a lot of money, grain and treasures in the palace..."

"Hiss..." Everyone gasped, and He Bai also looked at Peng Yu in surprise. He didn't expect that Peng Yu, who was rumored to be honest, would also take the blame for the Lord.

Everyone was lost for a moment and reached out to the property in the newly-dead Beihai Palace. This was not much different from rebellion. However, this ill-gotten wealth was not for profit, but for the benefit of the people, and everyone was moved.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the venue was dull, He Bai said, "The argument for keeping the truth is also my idea, but I just hesitate and cannot make a decision. I don't know what different suggestions do you have?"

Everyone shook their heads and said nothing, no one could give birth to billions of money out of thin air.

Finally, He Bai could only say: "Since it is impossible, let's talk about the right to keep the right. Let's raise our hands to vote together. If the incident happens, we can share the blame together, and there is no need to bear the responsibility of the right to keep the right to bear it. If the person who agrees cannot exceed half, then this proposal will be cancelled and no further discussions will be discussed." After saying that, he raised his hand first.

He Bai looked at everyone and saw Luo Pei, who was a military officer, first raised his hand. It seemed that the person who followed the long term had a high loyalty. He was willing to advance and retreat with himself, and was not afraid of the punishment of the court. Unexpectedly, the second person was Zhang Zhao. He was not from Beihai, and he was just a temporary guest under his command and did not take up his post.

Zhang Zhao seemed to see He Bai's question and couldn't help but smile: "I have been stubborn since I was a child. The more impossible I am, the more I will do it. Mr. He has a very good plan. I want to see the results, so I naturally agree with this strategy."

After a while, Zheng Xuan sighed again: "I am over 60 years old and I am afraid that I will not have much time. I can do some good things for the local people. What are you afraid of even if I die? I agree with the proposal of keeping the truth."

He Bai, Zheng Xuan, Zhang Zhao, and Luo Pei took the lead. Even though the others were afraid of the court's punishment, they did not dare to speak out against each other because of their loyalty. They just wanted to raise their hands to agree, but they could not move for the moment. When they saw Guan Ning, Shi Yi, Wang Xiu, Sun Shao, Cui Yan, Sun Qian, Zhao Shang, Gongsun Fang, Bing Yuan, Guoyuan and others raised their hands to agree one by one, and finally even Xi Lu, who had always been sloppy, was forced to agree. So no one in the room expressed neutrality or objection, and passed unanimously.

He Bai was secretly happy in his heart. This time, everyone made his statement not only for the money, food and treasures of King Beihai, but more for the people to gather around him, without having to pay too much attention to the majesty of the Han court. If this continues, even if he replaces the Han Dynasty, they will probably agree with it.

He Bai patted the table and said, "Since all this discussion has been passed, the private property of the King of Beihai will be dominated by the superior lieutenant Shi Peng Shouzheng, and the superior lieutenant Shi as the auxiliary lieutenant. We will investigate and report it to me together. Gongcao Sun Changxu, military Cao Luo Zengzhi, Wei Cao and others are preparing to recruit civil servants. We need to explain it clearly to the civil servants. This time, the corvee service is due to wages, not purely hard labor. Wang Shuzhi, the supervisor of the East and West Department, was Ziyu and the thief Cao Liuzheng inspected the four realms to prevent the incitement and destruction of the traitors and the Yellow Turban thieves."

"Cangcao can go to Xuzhou to find Mi Zizhong, and ask him to help him purchase one million stones of grain from Xuzhou and deliver it to Beihai in batches within three months. Jincao has prepared various construction tools to ensure that he is in short supply. The five-featured officer, Zhang Genju, can summon the patriarchs of the country's tribes and wealthy families to discuss matters. This is a major event for blessings and the entire county and state, and they cannot make them profit for nothing. You can use my name to collect money from them, regardless of the amount. You need to record your name and amount, which can be used as a basis for promotion and commendation in the future. Jincao can also purchase tools and goods from Fujia who raises more money to buy money from Fujia."

"Other people can help the school officials Guan You'an, Tian Cao Guozini, and will plan specific things such as the official history, water and caucus, law and medical care. Various projects can be divided into dozens of sections, one by one, one by one. It is important to be clear and clear, have a vision, and cannot lose their due role within three or five years."

Everyone immediately responded, and He Bai turned to Zheng Xuan again, and Zhang Zhao said, "This plan to develop the country is very large, and it is no less difficult than the famous generals fighting a large battle. I asked myself that I lacked my ability, please ask Mr. Kang Cheng and Zibu to help me."

The two of them also bowed and said, "If you can participate in such a grand event, I will be honored to be able to participate in it, and I should work hard to help it."
