Chapter 180: Gambling with Lu Zhi

Zhang Yu made conditions to the emperor.

"The fox's tail is finally revealed."

"Zhang Yu is really greedy, and a countryman can't satisfy him."

"I see what Zhang Yu dares to ask for this time."

Everyone silently despised Zhang Yu in their hearts, and they all thought that this time he wanted the lion to open his mouth.

"Zhang Aiqing, please tell me, if you need anything, just say it, as long as I can drink this immortal brew every day." Liu Hong said.

"Your Majesty, immortal brewing is not a problem, the minister will always supply it to Your Majesty, but Jiangdong is thousands of miles away from Luoyang, and the road is difficult and dangerous, so I am afraid that the minister will not be able to send the immortal brew to Luoyang in time for Your Majesty to enjoy." Zhang Yu replied loudly.

Liu Hong was very moved, and said excitedly: "Loyal minister, loyal minister, this is the loyal minister of my Han Dynasty." Liu Hong praised loudly.

Liu Hong continued: "Zhang Aiqing, please say, if you have any requirements, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help Zhang Aiqing." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to build a galloping road from Luoyang to the Jiangdong region, and when the time comes, not only the immortal brew, but any treasure obtained by the minister from the East China Sea can be delivered to Luoyang as soon as possible for His Majesty to enjoy." Zhang Yu said.

"Okay, yes, I'm done." When Liu Hong heard it, how sensible this Zhang Yu was, everything was for his sake.

Liu Hong thought that there must be a lot of treasures on the East China Sea, and Zhang Yu would definitely give it to him as soon as possible, so how could he not be happy, and how could he not agree to Zhang Yu's request.

It's just that as soon as Liu Hong finished speaking, the faces of many officials below changed drastically.

The construction of the gallop road often involves tens of thousands of people, not to mention the huge investment, and a lot of officials and ordinary people must be mobilized.

People of insight such as Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Zhu Jun all know that this is not a good thing for the current Han, and even a disaster.

Cai Yong was also shocked by Zhang Yu's generosity.

"Your Majesty, no, the old minister will oppose this matter with death." Cai Yongwen has a temperament, knowing that the consequences are serious, he came out and said as soon as possible.

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun immediately came out to support Cai Yong.

"Zhang Yu's move is a move that brings disaster to the country, and the old minister absolutely cannot agree to it." Lu Zhi came out and said.

Liu Hong was dumbfounded, he didn't quite understand what would happen to this construction of Chidao.

Isn't it just to build a road? As for this?

Or do they not see themselves well?

Zhang Yu seemed to be prepared in the face of everyone's accusations, and he was not surprised.

"Zhang Yu, what is your intention, the previous dynasty built a gallop road, and as a result, too many people were mobilized, resulting in chaos in the world, you are trying to mess with my big man." Lu Zhi's market was violent, and seeing that Liu Hong had no reaction, he turned over and pointed at Zhang Yu and scolded.

Zhang Yu touched his nose, but he didn't expect this Lu Zhi's reaction to be so huge.

However, Zhang Yu was unmoved, this matter was not his whim, he already had a complete plan.

After Lu Zhi scolded Zhang Yu, he said to Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, this Zhang Yu wolf is ambitious, and he should be beheaded." ”

Liu Hong was a little uncalm, he didn't understand anything, but seeing that the ministers were so opposed and forced to die, Liu Hong also began to worry.

"Zhang Aiqing, why don't you talk about it." Liu Hong was unwilling to give up the immortal brew and the various treasures in the East China Sea, so he gave Zhang Yu a chance and asked him to explain.

Zhang Yu stepped forward, glanced at Lu Zhi, and then looked at Cai Yong and the others.

"Your Majesty, what the minister has done is not as harmful as the few bosses have, and not only that, but it is only good for stabilizing the world." Zhang Yu said.

"Huh." Cai Yong sneered and said: "The examples of the previous dynasty are vivid, how much it costs to build this galloping road, it is strange if it does not cause the world to shake." ”

Zhang Yu saluted Cai Yong and said: "Lord Cai, I don't want to delve into the affairs of the previous dynasty, if you can say the reasons and plans that are harmless to the people of the world, what should you do?" ”

Before Cai Yong could answer, Lu Zhi, who also had an upright personality, came out and said: "If this is the case, the old man will be your subordinate and personally promote the construction of Chidao." ”

"Okay, I've made a bet on this matter, and the bet is still on the head. If I lose, my head will fall to the ground, and if Lu Gong loses, I will personally preside over the construction of the gallop road. Zhang Yu said loudly above this golden palace.

Everyone was stunned, this Zhang Yu gambled on people's heads and was addicted to gambling.

Lu Zhi was also stunned, but he didn't expect Zhang Yu's tone to be really big.

Liu Hong, who was above, was happy, things turned around, maybe it was really possible to build a gallop road.

After Zhang Yu finished speaking, he saluted Liu Hong, and then looked at a few ministers before saying: "Everyone, I believe everyone understands the great benefits of Chidao and military and people's livelihood, but the construction of Chidao is huge, and the imperial court cannot bear such a heavy burden." ”

Therefore, all the expenses for the construction of the gallop road shall be borne by the Down, and there is no need to apportion hard labor, and no one shall be requisitioned. Will this still shake the foundation of my Han dynasty? Zhang Yu asked.

"Haha, Fang Mu, Zhang Yu, your tone is big, the imperial court can't build a gallop road, and you alone dare to go to such a sea mouth." Lu Zhi burst out laughing after hearing this.

Zhang Yu stared at Lu Zhi and said in a deep voice: "May I ask Lu Gong, if it is really as I said below, will it shake the national capital of my Han Dynasty." ”

"If you don't levy hard labor, you don't need the money and food of the imperial court, of course it won't shake the foundation of my Han Dynasty, but if you don't have money and no people, how can you build this road." Lu Zhi said.

Several other ministers also looked at Zhang Yu with a playful face, thinking that he was just grandstanding and ignorant in order to confuse the emperor.

"My solution is very simple, work for relief, not only to build a gallop road, but also to stabilize the whole world." Zhang Yu continued to say in a big tone.

Several people didn't understand Zhang Yu's words, but seeing Zhang Yu swear so much, several people were also puzzled.

"Cash-for-work? How so? Cai Yong asked directly.

Zhang Yu said unhurriedly: "It's very simple, I will provide food, recruit workers, and let them build roads." For example, there are so many refugees today, they don't even have to eat. Give them a bite to eat, give them a chance to live, and they will come. ”

"In this way, the roads are repaired, they are also fed, and the refugees all go to build the roads, so naturally the place will not be disturbed, and the place will naturally be stable." Zhang Yu said.

A few knowledgeable old ministers thought that it was indeed a solution.

And it's a good way.

When these people have food to eat, they will not be in trouble.

The whole world can be cleared.

"The solution is a good way, and it is indeed feasible, but it takes hundreds of thousands, or even more, to build the road, where will this food come from? Where do the tools come from? Lu Zhi asked eagerly.

"I have just said that if I don't take a penny from the court, I will pay all of it." Zhang Yu said.

Everyone looked at Zhang Yu suspiciously, this is not a small amount, but a huge amount of money.

"Oh, the court can't take it out, how big a family do you Zhang Yu have." Yuan Kui said with a sneer.

"Your Majesty, what the minister said is the truth, the minister is loyal to the country, so he naturally wants to share his worries for His Majesty. Therefore, the minister wants to brew ordinary immortal brews and sell them, and all the proceeds will be used to build a gallop road for His Majesty and stabilize the world. Zhang Yu said to Liu Hong.
