Renzong was in the prime of life, but there were very few individual calls, and each time it was not long.

The purpose of summoning Ye Qingchen is also to reprimand, whether this level is passed or not, it will not last long, but this time it is very strange, at least 3 hours, a whole afternoon, Ye Qingchen was with Renzong, and no news came.

The governors who were a little ready to move suddenly died down, this is not a good signal, and it is even possible that Ye Qingchen has really passed the test.

In fact, Ye Qingchen really passed the test, and from the point where he made up his mind, he had already foreseen that there would definitely be many people impeached, but he didn't expect that there would be so many.

Ye Qingchen is not stupid to be able to serve as the third envoy, and being fierce and fearless is just a protective color, he knows what he should do.

Someone once said that if a Qing official wants to do a good job, he must be more cunning than a corrupt official, and what he is talking about is Ye Qingchen, of course he knows how many cats there were in the gray places before, because he didn't understand the situation before, and there was no enough opportunity to intervene, so he could only knock on the side, and the effect was okay, but it didn't touch the root cause.

The reason why he is valued by Renzong, to a certain extent, is that he is measured, and if the water is clear, there is no fish, and before there is a suitable alternative, he rashly intervenes in some balanced areas, knowing that there is greasy or corruption in it, and he may not be able to eat meat, maybe, cause a commotion.

But now, there is a reasonable reason, the financial problem is overwhelming, in the face of the possibility of solving 3 million yuan, or even 4 million yuan of projects a year, what is the problem of offending these, as long as these are swept away, the entire financial benefit may be more than double the direct balance, which includes not only the three divisions, but also these institutions.

The balance of 8 million yuan may not be able to solve all the problems for the Northern Song Dynasty, but it is a shot in the arm for the finances of the Northern Song Dynasty, which are shrinking day by day.

Ye Qingchen is quite well prepared, including all the links, possible future prospects, of course, there are also some data of the blacksmith shop of the Daimyo's Mansion, especially the situation of everyone.

In just 3 days, with Ye Qingchen's channels, he already knew the details of the blacksmith shop of the Daimyo's Mansion, which was also the fundamental reason why he dared to promote this huge plan and did not hesitate to offend everyone in the court, and it was also because of the owner of this blacksmith workshop, Dinghaihou.

With Ye Qingchen's identity, of course, he knows that Dinghai Hou is the second son of Renzong, not to mention the changes, with this identity, it is enough to prove Ye Qingchen's innocence.

Sure enough, when Renzong angrily asked Ye Qingchen why he lived up to his value and provoked so many impeachments, Ye Qingchen's expression was very calm, he didn't argue, and he didn't answer, until Renzong's anger was vented, he just said three words plainly: Dinghaihou.

He had been looking at Renzong's expression, and when the word Dinghaihou was mentioned, Renzong's eyes twitched suddenly.

Ye Qingchen knew very well that he had passed the test and took a risk, which not only achieved results, but also stimulated the finances fiercely, and he could even run around for the future.

In fact, after hearing this name, Renzong knew that Ye Qingchen had nothing to do with these.

How old is Zhao Xin, if Zhao Xin can reach Ye Qingchen's thigh online, how can he be forced to that point, and he doesn't have to let Zhao Xin fake his death.

During the Baozhou Mutiny, and even when Zhao Xin sent a letter to abdicate, how he hoped that there would be an important minister in the court who could stand on Zhao Xin's side, so that he would not have to make such a choice.

In fact, no, not even Han Qihe Ouyang Xiu, who was sent to Baozhou by him and had some recognition of Zhao Xin, let alone anything else.

The system of the Northern Song Dynasty, for the imperial family, was both a guarantee and a restriction, restricting the rebellion of military generals and restricting imperial power.

Under this foundation, the scholars were loyal to the Northern Song Dynasty, and the emperor must also be under this framework, and anyone who jumped out of this framework would receive a huge backlash.

This is also the result of Renzong's helpless choice before, when this blacksmith shop is Dinghaihou's, then, all the problems no longer exist, and Ye Qingchen's purpose in doing all this can only be in the public heart.

Preconceived views directly determine the outcome of a thing, even if you don't look at Ye Qingchen's documents, Renzong will choose to believe it, not to mention that now, Ye Qingchen's preparations are quite in place.

Starting from the Privy Council, to the various departments, from all the associations, to the output of the daimyo's blacksmith's workshop, as well as the cost, although Ye Qingchen didn't know the full cost of the blacksmith's workshop, the price of 35 Wen still has a certain possibility of compression.

For a project that consumes 230 million catties per year, even a penny reduction will reduce the cost by 230,000 yuan, which is not an ordinary proportion.

Of course, because the price of iron is very low, he didn't think about dropping it by 10 Wen, 5 Wen may be the limit, but even if it is 5 Wen, it is more than one million.

What can more than one million guan do, it can supply 100,000 troops, and all the consumption in half a year can support almost 300,000 people for half a year or even a year's work, especially the current management of the Yellow River.

Not to mention, there is also the price of squeezing, if the iron material is reduced to 30 Wen, with the average of 80 Wen in the Privy Council, the average of 95 Wen in the Ministry of Industry and the Department of Agriculture, and a few departments, even more than 120 Wen.

These can squeeze dozens of dollars on the premise of what an improvement for the entire financial situation.

If it's just these, just explain it clearly to Renzong, but it lasts for 3 hours, and there are other reasons, and when sorting out these things, Ye Qingchen also has another discovery.

When the cost was reduced, Ye Qingchen also found that some of the original use of other materials could be replaced by iron.

Among them, there are materials with similar prices, for example, the price is about 40 to 70 yuan, and if you use iron materials, you can also save a lot of costs, and this part is included in the possible part.

There is also a part of the material between 30 and 40 Wen, this part of the material can also be replaced by iron, although the price, there is no significant reduction, but the wood or other materials, replace with iron, so that the effect is better.

In some more in-depth aspects, Ye Qingchen didn't think so deeply because the time was still short, but in a sense, this was enough.

Seeing Ye Qingchen's Balabala say this, Renzong was also dumbfounded, he didn't expect that Ye Qingchen's brain hole would actually open to that aspect, no matter how small the fly is, there is meat, not to mention that there are many fields that can be replaced, and there are many aspects involved.

A replacement of iron materials, so excited, almost did not drown Ye Qingchen with a twist, if it involves these areas again, I am afraid that the entire imperial court, there will be no supporters for him.

But Ye Qingchen understands one thing very clearly, that is, money, iron materials, can save at least 5 million guan for the three divisions and reduce the expenditure of 15 million guan for the entire imperial court.

Some of the money, although it is not solved by the three divisions and the imperial court, is raised by the region itself, and this money may not be used on a large scale by the court, and they will also play a positive role within the department.

Some of the appropriations that are difficult to pass, and some projects that cannot be carried out, can completely use this money, which reduces the requirements to the three divisions.

Iron is so scary, what about these substitutes? Although the quantity is not as huge as the iron material, it may be more than three or five percent of the iron material, so that the final saving figure may reach about 8 million in the three divisions, and more than 20 million in the whole.

Money, the temptation of naked money, made Renzong a little dizzy, but the resistance contained in this, of course, he also knew that Ye Qingchen's purpose was very simple, that is, to let him support him, if it wasn't for this, what would he do with this at this point in time.

Such a closed-door meeting was originally Renzong's accusation against Ye Qingchen, but in the end it became a discussion between the two.

After determining that Ye Qingchen did not have any problems, Renzong also began to think of ways to work hard in those areas that Ye Qingchen had not set foot in.

Those places can be entered, those places can be saved, those that cannot be entered, but they are pointed, and those that cannot be changed.

Because in addition to the 60 million of the Privy Council, there are also orders of nearly 90 million a year from various officials of the Privy Council, and at least 100 million iron materials are consumed outside.

100 million, it was just a simple number before, but now, in Renzong's eyes, it is money, and if he gets it, he will save at least more than 3 million guan, for the finances of the Northern Song Dynasty, Renzong, who is already a little frightened, how can he give up so many millions.

In addition to reducing expenses for the government, there is another biggest reason to promote Renzong, which is also Zhao Xin's business.

Why did Zhao Xin get this, he knew very well, isn't it just for money, what kind of place is the Dinghai Navy, an island with nothing, it can be said that the border military state established by the Northern Song Dynasty has never been so bad, which is also the reason why the Ming Ming Navy is closer to the inland, but it is still approved, in the eyes of the Zaifu, this is a background and a toy given by Renzong to Zhao Xin, which is also the fundamental reason for some Wei Gui.

However, Renzong knew Zhao Xin's purpose, and Zhao Xin was preparing to build a huge city in the Northern Song Dynasty that was not inferior to the Daimyofu and Bianliang, so making money was for sure, and without the support of enough money, how to build a terrible big city.

Although it is 35 wen per catty of iron, it seems very low, much lower than before, but his intuition tells Zhao Xin that this is still profitable, the price of 300 million catties, even if it is 1 wen per catty, can have an income of several 300,000 yuan, which is also very important to Zhao Xin.

improved the Northern Song Dynasty itself, saved expenses, and was able to give Zhao Xin benefits, why not?

The two people, who were chatting more and more speculatively, immediately completed a lot of basic decisions, and at this time, the middle and low-level officials who did not realize that the disaster had struck were still frantically writing books, and in such a short afternoon of their court discussion, there were a lot of impeachments and sent them to Renzong.
