Xia Yuanji took the so-called Royal Academy plan and looked at it several times, and then stared at Yang Shaofeng and said, "Champion Yuangong, do you look like an old fool?" ”

Yang Shaofeng's heart suddenly burst into action, and he forced a smile: "Why did Xia Butang say this? ”

Xia Yuanji casually handed the planning map to Wu Zhong, who was watching the excitement next to him, and sneered: "The old man has lived fifty out of fifty, and in two more years, he will live enough for one Jiazi." ”

Pointing to the planning map in Wu Zhong's hand, Xia Yuanji continued: "Although I dare not say that I have eaten more salt than the rice that Zhuangyuan Gong has eaten, the old man is not completely confused.

According to the planning drawings made by His Royal Highness, just to build these projects on the drawings, it will take three million yuan to complete, but what is written on the back is only one million? Champion Gong, is one million really enough? ”

Before Yang Shaofeng could deny it, Wu Zhong, who was looking at the drawings next to him, said directly: "Three million guan? The construction materials alone are already more than three million, Xia Lao picks you for planning to levy conscription and not pay for it?

Also, the cost of this is only for construction, but after the house is built, you don't have anything in it? Tables, chairs, benches, room and board, which of these messes doesn't need money? ”

Glancing at Yang Shaofeng and Zhu Zhanji, Wu Zhong couldn't help but mock: "Don't make such a fuss. In order to jam the budget of the Ministry of Industry, Xia Lao has long learned to read these drawings, even if he is not as good as the old man, but it is very different. ”

Xia Yuanji said: "This kind of means of dragging the project and then adding funds, Wu Lao Pifu has used it countless times, and His Royal Highness took this map to the old man, aren't you afraid that the old man will not allocate funds?" ”

Yang Shaofeng looked at Zhu Zhanji with a confused expression, but found that Zhu Zhanji was also looking at him with a confused face, and he clearly knew in his heart that he had gotten away again this time.

No one would have thought that a household secretary who was in charge of money bags would actually read architectural drawings and be able to roughly estimate the cost of construction?

Damn, it's okay you calculate the interest rate and how good those things are, what are you doing with this thing?

Thinking like this in his heart, Yang Shaofeng's gaze changed when he looked at Xia Yuanji - I ate more salt than I ate rice? Why don't you kill an old horseman!

Looking at Zhu Laosi's lively demeanor again, Wu Zhong next to him also looked at himself with a smile, Yang Shaofeng's heart was even more uncomfortable, and he turned his heart sideways at the moment, glared at Xia Yuanji and said: "Who doesn't know that you Xia Butang is a famous iron rooster!"

Last time you built the Imperial City, how much silver did you approve when Xia Butang was full? If you hadn't prepared the stone and wood early, with the money you Xia Butang gave, who would have been able to build the imperial city?

Now, all those stones and timbers are used in the imperial city, and the Royal Academy has to prepare materials from scratch, and then build it step by step, how can it be done with less money? ”

Xia Yuanji was not annoyed, but just looked at Yang Shaofeng with a smile and said: "Don't worry, the old man will not card your budget of a penny, don't say that it is three million, it is thirty million, and the old man will also find a way for you to make it up, and it will never delay the project of the college." ”

Seeing that Yang Shaofeng and Zhu Zhanji were both looking at him with a confused expression, Xia Yuanji couldn't help but feel a little complacent, stroked his beard and smiled: "Zhuangyuan Gong can't understand, why is the old man so generous?" ”

Yang Shaofeng nodded suspiciously, and replied, "Indeed, this is not like your Xia Butang's style. ”

Xia Yuanji smiled, stretched out his finger and pointed at Yang Shaofeng, and asked with a smile: "Does the champion know why the old man only gave you 200,000 yuan when he built the imperial city?" ”

Seeing Yang Shaofeng shaking his head, Xia Yuanji, who didn't expect Yang Shaofeng to figure it out, explained to himself: "The stone and wood required for the construction of the imperial city have been prepared a long time ago, although 200,000 yuan is not much, but with a little flower, it can almost build the imperial city."

It's really not good, the scale of the imperial city is smaller, the places that should be reduced will be reduced, and some less important places can be kept for later construction slowly, plus I didn't think it could be completed at one time, so 200,000 is enough.

Or the old man told you more bluntly - it doesn't matter if the scale of the Shuntianfu Imperial City is smaller, there are still Yingtianfu Imperial Cities on the left and right, and you can't lose face with the Ming Dynasty.

The most important thing is that there was really not much money left in the treasury at that time, and many places had to use money, and the bank had to guard against a possible run, and the old man did not dare to give you a lenient appropriation.

But you ask Wu Lao Pifu, since the old man was in charge of the treasury, has he ever delayed a penny of his Ministry of Industry? He wants to dredge the river, he wants to build bridges and pave roads, he wants to build equipment, when did the old man not give him money?

The card is tight because there is really no money in the treasury, and the old man is reluctant to spend a penny more.

But the old man can touch his conscience and say that the old man did not delay the business of his Ministry of Industry! ”

After glancing at Zhu Laosi, Xia Yuanji finally didn't accuse Zhu Laosi of being a loser in front of Zhu Zhanji and Yang Shaofeng, but just said to himself: "The benefits of this Royal Academy are not only to make the treasury more abundant, but also to benefit future generations, these benefits, the old man can see!"

So the old man is here for you now, Your Majesty wants the treasury to pay for the war, and the treasury has no money, but if you want to build such a school, then the treasury will have money!

You don't have to think about using this method to let the old man approve, you don't have to save the money that should be spent, and you can't save it, how much worse, the old man will save you from other places one copper plate after another, and you have to save it! ”

Zhu Laosi, who had been watching the excitement, flicked his sleeves, got up angrily and glared at Xia Yuanji, and then left angrily - didn't I just want to smash people's yards? Looking for money is the same as those who ask for small money called Hanako, and now you are generous?

It's just a damn thing!

Zhu Zhanji and Yang Shaofeng, who blushed with shame, got up together, straightened their clothes, bowed to Xia Yuanji and said, "Xia Butang is noble!" ”

After avoiding the two of them and saluting sideways, and signaling the two to sit down, Xia Yuanji said to Yang Shaofeng: "The old man turned around and asked him to allocate 100,000 yuan first, is it enough?" ”

As soon as Xia Yuanji's words fell, Yang Shaofeng's face changed, and Yang Shaofeng especially wanted to reach out and pull Xia Yuanji's face to see how many layers of masks he was wearing on his face, and by the way, ask him when Xia Laoji learned to change his face!

Say yes don't need to save? How much do you want to give? 100,000? Are you kidding?

Xia Yuanji saw that Yang Shaofeng's face was a little ugly, so he said, "The old man is talking about advance allocation!" Even if the old man allocates 10 million yuan to you, you can't spend it at once, right? It wasn't a matter of a day or two that this academy was built. ”

Yang Shaofeng's face looked a little better: "It's almost, it's enough for a while." However, there are still more places to use money in the future, is Xia Butang really willing? ”

Wu Zhong said with a smile: "Don't worry, although Xia Laojiao is not willing to take money out to fight, and he is not willing to spend money indiscriminately, he is willing to spend money when it is time to spend it, and he will not give you an allocation." ”

Xia Yuanji nodded and said: "The old man still said that, spend what should be spent, don't think about the province, the old man will allocate the amount in full, and he will never miss the right thing." ”

After getting Xia Yuanji's promise, Yang Shaofeng set his sights on Wu Zhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry: "Wu Butang, Xia Butang have expressed their support, do you also have to express your attitude?" ”

Wu Zhong laughed, pointed at Yang Shaofeng and said, "The old man knows that you will not let go of the Ministry of Industry." Don't worry, except for those who are repairing the river bridges outside, the rest of the masters are up to you.

In a word, if you want money, you look for Xia Lao, and the old man's Ministry of Industry can't manage the money bag. But if you want people, the Ministry of Engineering will definitely do its best to support you, and I just hope that after the completion of your college, you can give more students to the Ministry of Engineering, and the old man will be content. ”

has been smiling and watching the play, and Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who has picked up a lot of cheapness, stroked his beard and said: "This matter should be found by the Ministry of Officials, but what I said in the Ministry of Rites is not counted." ”

The official Shangshu Jianyi looked at Lu Zhen, and suddenly said: "Today, you Lu Butang will make the pot of the East Drunken Immortal Building, tomorrow Wu Butang will make the whole sheep banquet of the East Drunken Immortal Building, and the day after tomorrow Xia Lao will also make the East Drunken Immortal Building, just be lighter." ”

Lu Zhen, who was still smiling just now, suddenly couldn't laugh anymore: "Why? Who doesn't know that the drunken fairy building is a gold cave, and the old man is a poor ghost, how can he afford it? ”

Xia Yuanji also said: "The old man's family is poor, and now he still owes the bank more than 40,000 yuan of loans that have not been paid off, and you actually asked the old man to invite the drunken immortal building?" Why don't you go and rob the bank! ”

Jian Yi snorted and said, "Your Ministry of Rites has picked up a big bargain for nothing, shouldn't you treat yourself?" And Wu Butang, do you want people in the future?

And you Xia Laojiao, how much benefit will the household department get in the future? You are the one who should be treated the most, the old man sees that your family is poor, so he asked you to please be lighter, don't be satisfied! ”

Xia Yuan Ji snorted and said, "The old man has no money!" How much benefit will be gained in the future is a matter for the future, anyway, the old man doesn't see the benefits now, and he just sees the treasury going out to make money. Now if you let the old man pay the money, won't your conscience hurt? ”

……

Leaving the Wenhua Palace, Yang Shaofeng suddenly turned his head and said to Zhu Zhanji: "Have we forgotten something?" ”

Zhu Zhanji pondered and said, "No, right? Didn't we originally plan to find Xia Lao...... Xia Butang wants money? Could it be that Xia Butang is so generous, and Wu Butang is willing to give us manpower, and now it is the right thing to go back and call someone to start work. ”

Yang Shaofeng thought about it and felt that what Zhu Zhanji said was right, so he nodded and said, "Then hurry back and call someone to prepare, first enclose the ground in the afternoon, and start laying the foundation tomorrow!" Royal Academy, that's ......."

Before he finished his sentence, Yang Shaofeng slapped his head and shouted, "Royal Academy! Dean! ”
