Yang Lin was furious with a piece of Pinggu Strange Stone, and after entering the palace, he went straight to Queen Zheng's palace, and Zhao Ji had already looked forward to it.

Yang Lin stepped forward with a smile and took three small chamberlains to move into a box, and after opening it, there were six stones.

These five stones, which are carefully selected from Pinggu, have five colors such as red, yellow, blue, black, and green, forming different pictures, including yellow stems and blue flowers, black flowers splashing ink, and a piece of texture that looks like a cute bear.

This is undoubtedly a natural product born under the magic of nature, Zhao Ji's legs couldn't be pulled out directly, his two eyes stared directly at the stone, and his mouth was full of admiration.

Empress Zheng walked down, didn't dare to scold Zhao Ji, and said angrily to Yang Lin: "Just with these stones, you can solve Gen Yue's strangeness?" ”

This time it was a little closer, and Yang Lin glanced at Queen Zheng a little, and found that she was a little similar to his own Zheng Yunyao's eyebrows. is really worthy of being a biological sister, Zheng Yunyao is charming and charming, and this queen is very amazing when she looks closer.

Before Yang Lin could speak, Zhao Ji hurriedly explained: "The queen doesn't know, most of the strange stones in this Genyue are transported from Taihu Lake, and they are the luck of the rivers and mountains in the south. And Pinggu is the boundary of Youyan, which is the essence of the northern land. Now that we are about to gather the north and the south, we are in the state of attaining the Great Perfection. ”

Yang Lin wiped his forehead, and when he encountered this kind of brain-replenishing thing, it really saved me a big deal. This explanation is more demagogic than what he came up with, the key is that Zhao Ji thinks it himself, the more he thinks about it, the more it makes sense, and he will not doubt himself.

Now Zhao Ji is like an infatuated lover who has met his sweetheart, if he doesn't take advantage of the current situation, when will he wait? Yang Lin coughed lightly and said: "Official, the road from Pinggu to Bianliang is blocked, in order to transport strange stones, please make an early will and start digging the canal." Zhang An, the director of the River Governance Division, has made great achievements in governing the Yellow River, and is well versed in this, and the minister proposed that he should do it. ”

Zhao Ji took a breath and asked, "Aiqing, like this strange stone, how many more are there in Pinggu?" ”

"The mountains are all over the wilderness, and I don't know the geometry."

"Then the transport of Bianliang, isn't it like a foolish man moving mountains?"

Yang Lin smiled: "The foolish man, the old man in the mountain village, of course he is slow to rely on the power of the family." Your Majesty is rich all over the world, and the mountains and rivers change color with a single order, and I don't know how many people are happy to serve the king. If Your Majesty does not do such a big thing, how to show the national strength of my Great Song Dynasty in the world, you must know that many of the small people in Hebei along the way are shallow people who do not know the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty.

The construction of Genyue is a major event, which is related to the national fortune of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also related to the immortal path of the official family. The official family might as well think about it, is it that after living in Genyue, the Great Song Dynasty has been frequently reported, and the territory of the Great Song Dynasty has expanded more than three times, and now it is difficult for even Youyan to come back! ”

Zhao Ji's face turned red, obviously surging in his heart, very excited, and his blood boiled by Yang Lin's words.

"Good! Just do what Yang Aiqing said! ”

In Bianliang City, there are groups of officials everywhere, sighing between the teahouses and restaurants.

Today's officials don't know what Yang Lin has bewitched, and they want to straighten the canal and dig through the north and south, which is comparable to the tyranny of Emperor Yang of Sui.

In their opinion, Bianliang is so rich, why should he take the canal to open up the land in the poor countryside of Hebei.

You must know that the Hebei area, as the border of the Great Song Dynasty, has been regarded as an abandoned border area for a hundred years since the failure of the Yongxi Northern Expedition.

The princes of Gon Gong seem to be suffering from amnesia collectively, forgetting that they were still talking about it a few days ago, boasting about the great achievements of Shaozai Yang Lin in recovering Youyan. It's only been less than a month, and he's become a complete traitor.

In the market, there are also many people who don't understand that it is a great joy to dig rivers and canals in a good manner. They only saw the superficial purpose of digging the canal, which was to transport stones for the emperor. But without that vision, to see the effect behind the canal, is it possible that the huge canal is day and night, and only the boats carrying stones are allowed to go?

It only takes a few months and a few ships to move a mountain. The most keen-sense of smell is the merchants of the sleeve building, after the canal is dug out with the shipping of Tianjin Port, it can be said that half of the north of the Great Song Dynasty has been revitalized. In business, they saw unlimited business opportunities, and when these people flocked to Hebei Youyan, Yang Lin's purpose was achieved.

In the Ming Hall, Cai Jing's face was very ugly, he didn't expect Yang Lin to take this road and take advantage of the emperor's trust in him to fake the tiger's might.

In the Song Dynasty, the power of the prime minister's group became greater and greater, and it had reached its peak in the Shenzong period. However, the extremes of things must be opposed, the prosperity and decline of the extreme, and the civil officials are constantly fighting with each other, which makes Zhao Ji, who is confused and on the throne, become the most powerful emperor.

Now that the emperor and the prime minister disagree, Cai Jing squinted his eyes and secretly calculated in his heart. Now that he has gained a firm foothold, in the new political system of the Great Song Dynasty, he is inseparable from himself as the prime minister. There is only one Yang Lin who can replace himself, clean up the mess for Zhao Ji, and ensure that he has money to spend.

Yang Lin's age is too young, so Cai Jing thinks that no one can replace his phase, even if he really helps one up, he still has to invite himself back.

The official family has moved to Genyue in recent years, so that Yang Lin is in the best position, he can easily know the official family's every move, talk preferences, if he lets it go...

Cai Jing, who has always put the emperor first, is also ready to try his own pound as the prime minister this time.

He coughed lightly and said, "Go to the lecture hall to speak, I have some things to discuss with you." ”

The handout division started because of Cai Jing, everyone was full of tacit understanding and shared the same mind, as soon as everyone heard this, they already knew it in their chests, and they couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Cai Taishi has been the prime minister for five years, which is considered a long time in the Great Song Dynasty, if he wants to continue to be re-elected, it is inevitable that some people will not be convinced. But this time, if Yang Lin is suppressed and His Majesty is prevented from digging the canal through hard work and money, then who will dare to point fingers and make irresponsible remarks.

Cai Jing said secretly in his heart, Wen Yuan, Wen Yuan, after all, you are still too young, and you have made a ladder for the old man.

In the handout department, Bai Shizhong held the freshly written chapter and read: "The old minister Bai Shizhong in the middle of the East and the West, and the six yamen are sparse: since the ancients, there has not been a failure to thrive with worry and diligence, and defeat with arrogance. Emperor Taizu won the world in a hundred battles, and the previous emperors of all dynasties were diligent and conscientious. Recently, I suddenly heard that His Majesty wants to open a canal, mine strange stones, visit the garden, and indulge in pleasure. The harm of labor and people accumulates in subtlety; The danger of the link starts from ignorance, and it must not be careless.

The official family is sage, and if he wants to have no such intention at the beginning, he will be left and right to introduce non-Taoism to his close ministers, and His Majesty will not notice it and make a mistake. The ministers are really chilling, and since last year, there have been continuous military disasters and natural disasters, and your Majesty has no benevolence to the people! Please Your Majesty pro-virtuous ministers, far from the villain, abandon the small, and uphold the dynasty. ”

His voice is full of energy, like a bell, and it is very powerful. Several ministers around, including Cai Jing, all praised each other.

Gao Yi smiled and said: "Bai Shangshu's performance goes up, it depends on how Yang Lin ends." He is just a hairy boy, and he dares to tease His Majesty to do such a big thing, it is really too noisy. This time it's shameless, I'll see if he can restrain himself, hahaha. ”

Everyone laughed, and Cai Jing also chuckled and said: "Kaihe, it is a labor and a loss of money, Sui died in Kaihe, and the lessons of the past have to be guarded against." The old man had already told him that this matter would not work, but he didn't expect Wen Yuan... He didn't even listen to me. ”

A piece of music was placed in front of Zhao Ji's table, which made him extremely entangled, and Yang Lin's proposal and the stone he brought made Zhao Ji's heart moved.

Moreover, the statement of the strange stone building Genyue in the north and south is deeply rooted in his heart, and it is simply uncomfortable to interrupt at this time. But Bai Shizhong's chapter, the following inscription is densely packed, covered with the east and west mansions, the seals of the six yamen, and Zhao Ji has been smooth sailing since he became the emperor, when has he experienced this kind of battle.

Yang Jian stood aside, and saw that the official family sighed at this letter, so he turned around and whispered in the ear of the little waiter, and after a while, the little waiter came over with a soup cup.

"Official, the heat is heavy in early summer, let's take a bite of pear paste."

Zhao Ji waved his hand and sighed: "Where can I eat, Yang Aiqing helped me see the crux of our Genyue, which is related to my national fortune and immortal journey, but the hundred officials used the people's livelihood and society as the reason to dissuade me from arriving in Beijing." Whether it is Yang Lin or Baiguan, they all have their own reasons, and I don't know how to decide. ”

Yang Lin rolled his eyes, lowered his head, and said softly: "The official family, the old slave has served the official family for so many years, and he is not only your courtier, but also a domestic slave, so he will rely on his identity to say something transgressive." Our family and Yang Shaozai only hope that the official family is good, this matter is not about anything else, it is really the most important thing. If it weren't for moving into this Genyue, how could our Great Song Dynasty have such a situation, this is all Your Majesty's fortune and creation, and we people are all stained with your light.

Now that we can deepen this creation, will we not be able to offset this people's and financial resources when the Great Song Dynasty is blessed? This Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and the family industry is in Bianliang, and digging a new river is of course not good for them. Of course, the ministers must have a lot of good intentions, but it is not excluded that a small group of people will prevent His Majesty from opening the river for their own small gain.

The old slave was favored by His Majesty, and he also had a lot of family wealth in Bianjing, this time for the good fortune of the official family, in order for Genyue to be consummated, the old slave... The old slave took out 100,000 yuan! ”

What is the concept of 100,000 kan... If you are an ordinary emperor, you will definitely wonder where you got an old eunuch from 100,000 yuan, but Zhao Ji didn't.

He likes to accept this kind of bribe, and he will happily count what his concubines receive, and if there are many of them, Zhao Ji will reach out and ask for a little. As an emperor, as long as this person follows his wishes, he can get into his eyes, and he is very generous.

Yang Jian's words moved Zhao Ji and made up his mind at the same time. For the sake of one's own fortune and creation, one must be arbitrary and arbitrary.

Gen Yue, in the queen's palace, Empress Zheng was facing the mirror and letting the palace maids comb her hair and makeup, and her little sister was sitting on the side, smiling and saying some interesting things outside the palace.

The palace maid next to her was holding a jade tray and bowed down, "Niangniang, this is a batch of jewelry newly made in the forbidden period, do you still like it?" ”

Empress Zheng turned around to look at it, the tray was full of pearl jewelry, and even the red gold jewels were decorated with pearls, and she picked up a bead flower and asked: "How can they be beads, the gap is so big, the one Yao'er is wearing on her head, the beads are wrapped with gold wires, and the dozen or so pearls on it alone are all round and jade, far better than the handwriting in our palace." ”

Zheng Yunyao said generously: "Do you like it? Here you go! We have it at home. ”

Empress Zheng glanced at her and quipped: "Okay, you all know that your family is rich, and the husband my sister found for you is not bad, right?" ”

Zheng Yunyao didn't know what she thought, lowered her head and muttered a few words, vaguely hearing something like the back, hurting or something. Empress Zheng didn't think much about it, she just thought that she said that Yang Lin loved her, but suddenly her eyes lit up, and she saw a huge heart-shaped gem on her chest after her sister lowered her head.

"It's a good chain." Empress Zheng's apricot eyes widened, and she said lightly.

Zheng Yunyao immediately covered her chest and said nervously: "This can't be given to you, this is the heirloom of the Yang family, left by my mother-in-law before she died, and she will give it to my daughter-in-law in the future." ”

Empress Zheng was skeptical and said, "The Yang family has been so rich from the beginning? She raised her eyebrows, lowered her voice, and said, "After you go back, help my sister ask how much money Yang Lin can make this time, and our Zheng family will also have a share." ”

...

Strange flowers are in full bloom in the flower beds of Zhaode Fang, and the lush flowers attract colorful butterflies to wander back and forth.

Yang Lin squinted and lay on the couch, the purple clay pot beside him was steaming, and his daughter-in-law next to him had just come back from the palace, so she rushed over with a roar.

"What? Earn? Yang Lin looked at his little wife in amazement, and the latter nodded innocently.

Yang Lin pouted and said, "Your sister was blinded by money, and before the river opened, I threw 100,000 yuan into it." Yang Jian's guy took my money and showed his loyalty in front of the official family, he was comfortable, I felt wronged when I thought about it. ”

Zheng Yunyao looked disappointed: "Huh? If you can't make money, then Sister will be disappointed. ”

Yang Lin just wanted to speak, but suddenly came up with an idea in his mind, poured a cup of tea for Zheng Yunyao, and said with a smile: "Earn money, it's not impossible, the next time you enter the palace and tell your sister, this time it's still the old rule, the more you take out, the more you earn." ”

Yang Lin suddenly thought that the cost of opening the river this time was indispensable, and if it was paid by the imperial court, it would inevitably become a new difficulty. The yamen at all levels will definitely make things difficult in every way, so it is better to bypass their yamen at all levels directly and find Zhao Ji to do it alone.

Let the sleeve building raise funds, and when the time comes, the profits will be shared after the canal is built, and a canal does not know how much income it will bring to the imperial court, as long as Zhao Ji promised to take it out in the previous few years, it will be enough to dig the canal.

In this way, it can also coerce a group of investment elites and divide this huge interest group, which is simply a few in one fell swoop.
