Wang Zhidao: "The matter of road construction was originally led by the dangerous mountain army. At that time, it was envisaged that it would be better and faster to borrow part of the security team to build the road. If the people only need to participate, the quality of the roads built cannot be guaranteed. Moreover, this funding is really stretched. That's why it's been shelved~~"

Ji Fengchun listened impatiently, frowned and said, "What do you want to say?" Let's get it straight. ”

Wang Zhi said: "There are two questions, first, does this matter still need the participation of the dangerous mountain army? Second, where will the funds for the road construction come from? ”

"Is that a problem?" Ji Fengchun raised his eyebrows, his eyes widened like two bells, "If you need the assistance of the Dangerous Mountain Army, then you can go directly to Ye Zongzhen, how far apart?" Can he still not see you? As for your second one, it's even more ridiculous! Didn't you say that Mr. Ye filled his pockets and embezzled the people's fat and ointment? He is so greedy for ink, and he still has spare money to help deal with people's livelihood problems. Your king is as clear as water and as clear as a mirror, why can't you come up with this money? I know that now the entire tax revenue in the jurisdiction of the dangerous mountain is managed by our governor's yamen, and in addition to the part handed over to the imperial court, only 20% of it is used to raise soldiers. In today's situation, it can be said that there are very few. Then you tell me, why don't you make money, and how can you get it? ”

Wang Zhi was choked by him for a while.

Yes, he keeps saying that people are not good, but in the end, he asks people to do everything.

He lowered his head and hesitated, not knowing what to say.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ji Fengchun was even more irritable, waving his hand and shouting at him, "Get out, get out!" There are so many people in the staff room, are they all idlers who eat dry food? As the chief of staff, you don't think about how to arrange things, and you always rely on me. So what do I want you to do? ”

Wang Zhi 'got out' and went out, disgraced.

When he saw Zhang Hongchuan coming over, he didn't react.

Zhang Hongchuan was originally looking for Ji Fengchun, but when he saw Wang Zhi's depressed appearance, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked him, "My lord, what's wrong with you?" If you're not feeling well, it's good to go back and rest. ”

Wang Zhi shook his head and sighed, "It's nothing." ”

Zhang Hongchuan was about to ask again, but Wang Zhi had already shook his head and walked away.

~~

The General Military Mansion of Dangerous Mountain Town.

Since the newly selected governor's office was rebuilt and the entire civilian office headed by the staff office was moved out, only a few officers from the town of Xianshan were left in the palace.

One out and one in, it is either a military uniform with a beast tattoo on its chest, or a new military uniform in Dangerous Mountain Town, for the clothing of civilian officials, in fact, no one has seen it for a long time.

Therefore, when Wang Zhi walked into the courtyard, he attracted a large number of eyes.

Ye Fu sat in his signing room, and after listening to Ma Denglong's report, he was also a little surprised, he asked, "Huh?" Wang Zhi is here? What is he here for? ”

Ma Denglong said: "Maybe there is something wrong, right?" Would you like to meet? If you don't want to see it, I'm going to help you get back? ”

Ye Fu thought about it for a while, and suddenly smiled, "There aren't many opportunities for him to take the initiative to soften, why should I turn people away?" Go, go and invite Lord Wang in. Tell him that I happen to be free. By the way, make two cups of tea. ”

"Yes." Ma Denglong agreed and went out to call someone.

Ye Fu sat on a chair and looked up at the sky, and after a while, he saw Wang Zhi being brought over by Ma Denglong.

"Lord Wang, you are a rare guest, come, please take a seat."

Ye Fu pointed to the seat opposite and motioned for Wang Zhi to sit down and speak.

Wang Zhi was in a complicated mood, sat down stiffly, took the hot tea handed by Ma Denglong, and took a sip absentmindedly, almost being burned.

He hurriedly put down the teacup and said to Ye Fu: "My lord, the lower officials came today to ask for something. ”

"Oh?" Ye Fu raised his eyebrows, "What?" What do you need our Lord Wang to use the word 'ask'? Let's talk about it, as long as I can do it, I will naturally help you. ”

Wang Zhi said: "It's the last time you mentioned the road construction. Over the past few days, many things have come together and have been delayed. Just now the governor mentioned it, and the subordinate came over to ask, this important matter that is beneficial to the people, I wonder if you are willing to help? After all, if the military can participate, many things will be much easier. ”

"Oh, the road thing?" Ye Fu thought for a while and said, "Originally, the road was built to facilitate the use of troops in various parts of the army, and if the road is repaired well, the transportation of many weapons and equipment will not be a problem." There is no reason why I should not agree to things that are beneficial to others and to myself. If you need someone, I will arrange for Captain Jin to assist, if there is any problem, you can just tell him. Other than that, are there any questions? ”

Regarding the question of silver, Wang Zhi was really ashamed to talk about it.

But with the support of the army, but without the silver, nothing can be done as usual.

So, stubbornly, Wang Zhi had no choice but to say: "My lord, there is something that you still need to take care of." With the help of the army, it naturally saved a lot of effort. It's just that people eat and chew all about money, but for a while, the staff office is afraid that the money will not be available, and it is really impossible to come up with such a large sum of funds. See if you can~~"

As soon as he said this, Ye Fu smiled, "What? Is Lord Wang planning to make an IOU with me? ”

Wang Zhi was stunned and was immediately choked.

What he meant was to let Ye Fu fund it, where was the idea of borrowing money?

But Ye Fu smiled, but it really didn't seem like a joke.

Wang Zhi was at a loss for a while, and he didn't know how to speak next.

Ye Fu stopped teasing him when he saw his embarrassed face, got serious, and said to him: "Actually, the problem of money is not difficult to solve. It's just that the ancients also said it? What's that called? You can't have it both ways. The result of wanting everything is probably not getting anything. However, it also depends on how you look at it. Didn't you say? What matters most must be done first. Now, Lord Wang, the most important thing in front of you is either on the side, or you need money to do everything, and don't think about doing anything if you don't have money! In that case, some things are so easy! Since you are short of money, let's go and make money! ”

Wang Zhi wondered, "What do you mean, my lord?" Do you mean that you have to find a way to make money on your own, right? The lower officials eat the court's money, which is already meager, where is the extra savings? ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't have savings, because even if you have savings, your little savings are called 'a drop in the bucket' compared to the livelihood plan of the entire dangerous mountain! It's simply not enough to take a few days. Ye Fu said, "If you want to do big things, you must have enough money bags, and if you have enough money bags, what is the most important way?" It's about finding a way to make money and make money money! ”
