Chapter 346 Great Song Straight Road
Since Wang Yuyan's decree will definitely be found, sure enough, Chen Tong found a yellow silk in the deposit of the secretary province, the time and place are matched, and he bowed down and whispered on the few cases in Zhao Zhen's hand: "Qi Guan's family, this is the queen's phoenix decree, it was issued a ......year ago."
Chen Tong's voice became smaller and smaller, and he suddenly remembered that he couldn't get rid of this matter, he was on the side at the beginning, and this matter was related to the imperial court......
Zhao Zhen picked up the soft Huang Juan, which clearly recorded her order, and actually dispatched the forbidden army of the Armed Forces Division to assist in using gunpowder to open the mountain, which was really a bit bold, and picked up the yellow silk and said: "Tell me why you want to do this?" ”
Wang Yuyan pursed her lips and said: "Niuwei Mountain is full of stones, and the cement road also needs gravel, the concubine remembered the old wisdom of Ding Xianggong, and dispatched the gunpowder of the Wubei Division to open the mountain, which not only reduced the length of the distance, but also reduced the transportation of stones, and my Wang family has been exhausted by this road!" ”
Zhao Zhen smiled: "Why did your Wang family take this road in the first place?" Still not optimistic about its future earnings? Even if your father is my father-in-law, you can't change the plan of the court without authorization, wait, there are already a lot of red-eyed people who are going to pounce out and bite at this time, and some opposing courtiers are even more admonished, Wang Mengzheng looks shrewd on weekdays, how could he make such a stupid move? The longer the road, the more the Wang family will earn in the future! ”
Wang Yuyan asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”
"Because the longer the road, the more vehicles along the way, the more money will naturally be collected, from Zhengzhou Guancheng to Tokyo City, how many towns are there on the road? How many businessmen come and go, and the road is always there, as long as it is well protected, there will be no problem for more than ten years, think about how much money the Wang family has earned from the road in the past ten years? At the beginning, I didn't mean that I couldn't afford this money, but I hoped that the Wang family would take the lead in making more businessmen start to invest in the cement roads of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
How could Wang Yuyan not hear the combination of soft and hard in Zhao Zhen's words, her pretty face turned red, she pursed her lips and said: "The concubine will never be involved in the Wang family's business in the future, please forgive the official family." ”
Zhao Zhen shook his head with a wry smile and said: "You have said this a long time ago, forget it, there is nothing wrong with caring for your family, but you should realize that you are looking for me to say it, and you will not change my clothes for me as an example!" ”
Duo Fidelity clumsily helped Zhao Zhen change into regular clothes, the bun on his head was a little tight, and he raised his eyebrows and eyes a lot, Vera was much faster than her movements even if she had a big belly, and she handed Zhao Zhen the crown of heaven after tying her hair again.
Although he just changed his clothes, in the eyes of Duo Zhuangzhen, Zhao Zhen's temperament has changed greatly, not at all like the casual appearance just now, he is the son of heaven of the Great Song Dynasty and the supreme king in regular clothes at this time.
For thousands of years, how many people have worshipped the garment, not the man in the garment?
Zhao Zhen ignored the worship of Duobaozhen, and took Sancai and Chen Tong to the Vertical Arch Palace, Sancai said that Xianggong Wang Zeng, Lu Zongdao, and Ding Wei were already waiting in the main hall, and Zhang Sheng was also among them in the imperial history.
This can be regarded as a relatively formal meeting, which shows how much attention Wang Mengzheng's road construction has received in the court.
The delicate and gorgeous vertical arch hall can be regarded as the smaller palace in the imperial palace, and most of the courtiers are places where the courtiers stay and perform, and the courtiers in the main hall are closer to Zhao Zhen's throne, so that they can speak more clearly and privately.
When Zhao Zhen sat down on the throne, Chen Tong closed the tall palace door, and isolated the inside and outside to prevent prying eyes.
Zhang Sheng was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, Wang Mengzheng is presiding over the construction of the road as the abbot, but he changed the original route without authorization, opened the mountain and dug the road, causing heavy casualties to the laborers, and a master who will be the prisoner died tragically, even if he is a relative and the abbot of the country, it is difficult to escape his crime, I hope Your Majesty will be severely sentenced!" ”
Sure enough, Zhang Sheng's words made Zhao Zhen frown slightly: "Although it is Wang Mengzheng's fault this time, he is also worried about the court, hoping to shorten the road construction time and go on the same road as soon as possible. ”
Wang Zeng echoed: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, in the final analysis, the prince is just a businessman, although he has an official position, but not a real position, it is really inappropriate to punish him so severely." ”
Ding Wei also nodded slightly: "This time Wang Mengzheng changed his route privately, Weichen already knows the cause and effect, there are many rocks in Niuwei Mountain, Wang Mengzheng wants to use gunpowder to mine mountain stones as road building stones, so as to save the time for road repair, and also save the required amount of money and expenses, it is a pity to kill two birds with one stone, but it is a pity to ......."
"It's a pity that the tiger can't be an anti-dog!"
Zhao Zhen interrupted Ding Wei's words, in his opinion, Wang Mengzheng is learning Ding Wei's old wisdom to kill three birds with one stone, who knows that in the end he will end up like this, he will dare to do unfamiliar things, if he opens such a precedent, I am afraid that future businessmen will learn from him.
This made Zhao Zhen change his mind, frowned, and said: "After all, there are many casualties, and we still have to punish them to set an example, otherwise this kind of opportunistic thing will happen, and using Guozhang as a reminder should be able to sound the alarm for more people!" ”
Wang Zeng and Ding Wei glanced at each other, and the double reed sung in front of the official family seemed to be a success, and it was time for Lu Zongdao to perform.
Sure enough, Lu Zongdao lived up to expectations and said: "The official Shengming, such an opportunistic thing cannot be promoted, it can only be suppressed, and the respect of the national ruler is the best example, so that the Great Song Dynasty, whether it is a businessman or a hundred officials, will know His Majesty's public heart!" ”
Even if Lu Zongdao said this, Zhao Zhen still had a feeling of being in the trap, forgot to glance at Ding Wei and Wang Zeng, and smiled helplessly: "You guys are really ...... It's ridiculous, if something happens, why play with my heart in front of me? Could it be that I have not been able to speak widely after so many years of pro-government, I have already spoken first, and my relatives and clans cannot be outside the Fa ceremony! ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
After discussing Wang Mengzheng's affairs, Wang Zeng and Lu Zongdao retired, there is no more for them here, and the rest will be left to Ding Wei to stay and do something!
The strange thing is that Zhang Sheng, the middle of the imperial history, did not leave, but stared at Ding Wei in a daze and said with a smile: "Ding Xianggong will invite first, and the old man will be later." ”
Ding Wei glanced at Zhang Sheng strangely and said, "How can there be a six-eared saying about staying in the middle of things?" ”
Zhang Sheng smiled and said: "Actually, the old man already knows about Ding Xianggong's affairs, and it is for this matter that the old man deliberately stayed." ”
"Oh? Then ask Zhang Zhongcheng to talk about it! Ding Wei was shocked in his heart, could it be that he Zhang Sheng already knew about the straight road?
Zhao Zhen smiled slightly: "It seems that there are no secrets between the ministers, and the news is better than mine, so let's talk about it!" ”
Ding Wei bowed and said: "Your Majesty, what the minister wants to say is that the Great Song Dynasty rebuilt the Qin Emperor's straight road, with my Great Song Dynasty's current financial resources, coupled with the cement method, it can completely spread the straight road in the Great Song Dynasty, and even surpass it!" ”
Zhao Zhen nodded slightly: "The straight road is already an imminent matter, the most important thing is that my Great Song Dynasty disaster relief, border relief, goods, taxes, etc. are all beneficial, Zhang Zhongcheng, don't you say?" ”
Zhang Sheng's words in his heart were blocked, but he still didn't give up and said: "Your Majesty, although the straight road has many benefits, it can cost life and money, Emperor Qin used the flesh and blood of all the people in the world to build the straight road, the Great Wall, is it safe today?" ”
"Ridiculous! The straight road is different from the Great Wall, the straight road is related to people's livelihood and has a great effect on the border! And the Great Wall is the defense of the country, how can it be the same day? Now that my Great Song Dynasty is prosperous, building a straight road is not a one-time achievement, does Zhang Zhongcheng not know the principle of ten years of trees and a hundred years of people? ”
Zhang Sheng's breath stopped stagnating, he forgot about this one, and now he denies the construction until, that is, he denies that the Great Song Dynasty can still be inherited for a hundred years and a thousand years......
