Glancing at Zhang Heling, Zhang Mao smiled and said, "What is Uncle Guo going to do?" ”

"I'm going to take the lead in this matter, and I hope Grandpa Guo can support me." Zhang Heling looked at Zhang Mao, and the expression on his face became serious, whether this matter is for Zhang Heling or Zhang Mao, this is a big thing, there is no need to detour, and in the end, it must return to the essence of the matter.

In such a situation, Zhang Heling naturally will not choose to detour and directly explain things clearly, no one is a fool, and it is impossible to fool.

Zhang Mao glanced at Zhang Heling, and was more sure of his conjecture in his heart, sure enough, this uncle was not willing to do it by himself, this was forced. Even if Zhang Heling really has the heart to contribute to the country, can't he come up with hundreds of thousands of taels by himself? With the financial resources of the Hou Mansion of Shouning, I dare not say that 500,000 taels will not be to the point of breaking my muscles and bones.

At most, it hurts, Zhang Heling really took out 500,000 taels, it must be an example of honorable relatives, and His Majesty will issue a decree to commend him.

But Zhang Heling did a very stupid thing, that is, he was the first to advocate Zhuangtian to pay taxes, this decision and behavior were stupid, it was simply to put himself on the opposite side of all the nobles and relatives, so that everyone hated him, in such a situation, Zhang Heling had to lose his mind to what extent would he make such a decision and choice.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mao knew what was going on, Zhang Mao really wanted to refuse, but he couldn't speak for a long time.

The British Government is the leader of the nobles, and everyone is around the British Government, if the British Government agrees to this matter, then the popularity accumulated by the British Government over the years will be lost in an instant. But this is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means, with His Royal Highness's current strong position, if he refuses, or even opposes, it is difficult to say what impact it will have.

"The stakes are high, I need to think about it!" After muttering for a long time, Zhang Mao still couldn't make a decision, so he could only prevaricate and get ready to think about it.

"If that's the case, then I won't bother, I hope Grandpa Guo can give me an answer as soon as possible!" After saying this, Zhang Heling stood up and saluted Zhang Mao, then turned around and walked outside.

When Zhang Heling left, Zhang Mao's expression also relaxed, and a wry smile appeared on his face, what is this called? Can't it just stop for a few days? Walking out of the door, Zhang Mao instructed the housekeeper standing outside the door: "Go and find Zhang Lun for me!" ”

Since the last incident, Zhang Mao found that his grandson was still very assertive, and his perspective on the problem was also very special, so he simply asked him to discuss the matter this time. Of course, this also has something to do with Zhang Lun's understanding of His Royal Highness the Prince, and Zhang Mao feels that his grandson may know what the Prince is thinking.

The housekeeper naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly agreed: "Yes!" After saying this, he turned and ran.

Zhang Lun didn't delay for too long, and soon Zhang Lun came, and after entering the house, he saw his grandfather sitting there with a dejected face, and couldn't help but be stunned, shouldn't it! Grandpa just added the staff officer of the staff office, it stands to reason that it should be a happy event, how can it be so depressed? Could it be that you are causing trouble? Nope! I've been very well-behaved lately!

Although he confirmed in his heart that he hadn't made any mistakes, Zhang Lun was still worried that he would be scolded, and said cautiously: "Grandpa, is something wrong?" ”

Zhang Mao glanced at his grandson, waved his hand, and said in a kind tone: "Sit down!" When Zhang Lun sat down, Zhang Mao said: "Many times it's not people looking for things, but things looking for people, you can't hide if you want to, you know that Shou Ninghou is here, right?" Seeing his grandson nodding, Zhang Mao said everything Zhang Heling said.

Glancing at his grandfather, Zhang Lun said with a smile: "So that's the case?" The child thought it was a big deal, and promised him that if he wanted, our British government could also take the lead! ”

Glancing at his grandson, Zhang Mao wanted to be angry at that time, but he hesitated, because he felt that his grandson could not be so stupid: "Tell me what you think." ”

"Our British government is not short of that tax money." Zhang Lun said directly: "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants it, then just give it." ”

"Is this a money thing?" Zhang Mao was immediately angry, the British government is indeed not bad for money, but is it a matter of money? Glaring at his grandson, Zhang Mao continued: "Don't say that we are the first to advocate, even if we directly support it, I am afraid that it will offend the nobles and relatives, what should we do if we have accumulated so many years of popularity?" ”

Listening to his grandfather's words, Zhang Lun suddenly laughed, seeing that his grandfather was glaring at him, Zhang Lun reluctantly stopped smiling, waved his hand and said, "Grandpa, people? If our family is not a British government, where will the people come from? ”

"In the past few years, with the support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the status of the Marquis of Shouning has grown by leaps and bounds, not only has a high authority among the nobles and relatives, but even civil officials have supported him. Shouning Marquis don't talk about the dictatorship of his relatives, without the protection of His Majesty and the crown prince, I'm afraid I'm going to be torn apart, right? ”

"Now that the General Staff Office has been established, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to change the military system, what is this? This is great power, and at this time it is desirable? Do what? Saying that, Zhang Lun looked at Zhang Mao and said with a smile: "Grandpa, we will offend Xungui, but what if this is what His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to see?" His Majesty and the Crown Prince don't need a high-spirited British duke. ”

"As for offending those people, if the British government falls, they will fall faster than anyone else, and if the British government is in power, they will only praise and praise."

Zhang Mao didn't listen to his grandson's later words, because the previous words directly shocked Zhang Mao, what if this is what His Majesty and the crown prince want? Daming doesn't need a high-profile British public, yes, that's it. Zhang Mao finally figured out what he hadn't figured out, through this matter, Shou Ninghou was finished, and his supported nobles would also be separated from the following.

But only in this way will His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince use you, dare to use you, and Zhang Mao suddenly became enlightened in an instant.

At the same time, he also thought of a deeper layer, that is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is preparing to purge the nobles, and the military reform cannot be separated from the nobles, and there will definitely be people who oppose it, so simply just before the military reform starts, directly sweep away a group of opponents and disobedient ones, which is also very beneficial to the next military reform.

A Zhuangtian collects taxes, there are so many thoughts hidden in it, I accidentally planted it in, I glanced at my grandson, Zhang Mao was very relieved, and there are successors!

In fact, Zhang Mao only guessed part of it correctly, because Zhu Houzhao still had bigger chess to play later.
