From Yizhou to Chang'an, the whole journey is about 1,500 miles, and the most difficult section is the lofty mountains between the Qinling Mountains and Daba Mountain. In order to be able to pass unimpeded, people even spared no expense to build plank roads.

But even so, it takes about three months to traffic goods to Chang'an, and this section of the mountain road takes the most time.

For the people of the Hereafter, it may not take more than a few hours.

Poor Prime Minister Zhuge walked all his life, but he didn't go to Chang'an, and he died of exhaustion in Wuzhang Plain...... The time is long and short, after the Shu Road of the Great Zhou is repaired, it takes about a month to transport a stone of grain to Chang'an, and the consumption in the middle is about 20%. It's not very fast, but it's acceptable.

And from Chang'an to the Western Regions, it will consume 20%, and on the whole, more than half of the grain can be transported to the battlefield.

This result has already made Chai Rong and Ye Hua overjoyed.

Chai Rongxing rushed and said: "Ye Qing, this Zhang Xun is a talent, he can be used!" ”

With this comment, Zhang Xun's future is bright, and to put it mildly, Jane is in the emperor's heart, and the saint is long. Promotion and fortune are just around the corner!

But unfortunately, Ye Hua is here, and he doesn't want Zhang Yi to live too comfortably.

"Your Majesty, since this person is a talent, you might as well let him continue to supervise the construction of the road to Liangzhou, and at the same time let him requisition military rations to supply military supplies!"

Chai Rong was stunned for a second, this is not the attitude towards talents, Ye Hua is using Zhang Xun as a cow, horse and livestock, building roads to collect military rations, it is all laborious and offending people's lives, do you hate him for not dying?

That's right!

Zhang Xun impeached Queen Fu at the beginning, this kid is not a good thing anyway, there is no need to use it in vain...... Cha Rong's unreasonable strength also came, and he said with a smile: "Ye Qing's meaning is exactly what I meant, so do it!" ”

……

"That's roughly the case, Lord Zhang, you have to continue to work hard!" Ye Hua crossed Erlang's legs and said with a smile.

Zhang Xun sulked his head, he knew very well that he was not hard, but hard!

The surname Ye, you promised me to come from the Ministry of Industry, and now that Shu Dao is connected, we can't be too unreasonable. Ye Hua shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "The deadline I gave you is one year and ten months, and you used about one year and nine and a half months, half a month earlier than scheduled." ”

"That's right!" Zhang Xun straightened his waist and said loudly: "I have credit, and I will do what I say!" ”

The implication is that Ye Hua is not trustworthy.

"That's right, after the road is repaired, we have to check whether it meets the standards, right!" Ye Hua said: "I think we need a trial operation, that is, to transport a batch of grain from Yizhou to Chang'an, if there is no problem, even if the road is repaired, how about it?" ”

Zhang Yi was so angry, he didn't bully people like this!

Half a month, even if it is flying, it is impossible to deliver the grain, and when the grain is delivered, the agreed deadline will be passed...... People say that Ye Hua is cunning, and sure enough!

Zhang Xun stretched out his hand and pointed at Ye Hua, trembling all over, unable to speak.

Ye Hua sneered slightly, and suddenly pulled out some of the official documents in his hand and threw them to Zhang Xun, "See for yourself!" ”

Zhang Xun opened it, and after reading a few pages, the cold sweat on his forehead came down.

When he saw a third, he trembled, and he didn't know whether he was scared or angry!

"Master Hou, they are talking nonsense, they have wronged me! I am innocent, and I am worthy of the mission of the imperial court! Of course Zhang Xun was afraid, just to impeach him, there were no less than hundreds of letters, how many people could not mix so many impeachment notes in their lifetime, he alone, it took more than a year, and he set an unprecedented record.

Ye Hua snorted, "Benjue has been mixed for ten years, and he is not as good as you, I really admire, admire!" ”

"Master Hou!" Zhang Xun shook his head vigorously, full of grievances: "Master Hou, look at it, those are all Bashu officials who falsely accuse the lower officials. I was building roads in Bashu, and I gave land to the people who built the roads, these gentry and officials were jealous of the lower officials, so they fabricated the facts, and framed the lower officials with false things. If you believe them, Xia Guan really doesn't know who else is willing to do things for the imperial court! ”

Zhang Xun said, slapped twice, and cried, looking really wronged.

Ye Hua was still smiling, he leaned over and whispered in Zhang Xun's ear: "Lord Zhang, in the past year or so, your cousin's house has added 2,000 looms and 30,000 acres of mulberry fields, which is really a good way to make money!" ”

"Ahh

Zhang Xun's face turned white in an instant, and he hurriedly said: "Master Hou, this, I don't know about this, I really don't know!" You have to trust me! ”

Ye Hua waved his hand and said coldly: "Zhang Xun, if I don't believe you, I will send you directly to the yamen, or embroidery clothes, why waste foam with you." ”

Zhang Xun hurriedly shook his head, and said gratefully: "Hou Ye really feels sorry for the lower official, and the lower official bows to thank Hou Ye." ”

Ye Hua didn't want to listen to the New Year's greetings, "Zhang Xun, we are all people who have done things, if we want to do things, we will inevitably offend people, and some people will use all means to retaliate, it is not enough to clean up and take care of ourselves, family members and relatives must also be restrained, after all, those people are pervasive, do you understand my words?" ”

"Understood!"

Zhang Xun nodded vigorously, gritted his teeth and said: "Master Hou, the family in Shu is intertwined, they are called Jiang Qing, arrogant and domineering, and they cannot be a lifetime. There are also the officials of Bashu, although they surrendered to the Great Zhou, but they are lazy and mediocre, they know how to shirk when they encounter problems, and they are wantonly greedy for ink, which is the chronic disease of Shu, and the lower officials think that they must be severely punished! ”

"Hahaha!"

Ye Hua laughed, "That's right, I suppressed the matter, what do you do with those gossiping villains, I won't ask...... As long as the grain is transported to the northwest and the road to Liangzhou is renovated, you will do things beautifully, and the saint will naturally know in his heart! ”

……

Coming out of Ye Hua, Zhang Xun was surprised, happy and annoyed!

He consciously controlled it, and didn't take any money that he shouldn't take, but he still got out of the basket, and his cousin should be killed! Those families are really hateful, they actually hit him with the idea, you have the ability to come at me, why do you start from your relatives, you are really not a gentleman!

As the saying goes, you are unkind and unjust!

Don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless, you found it yourself.

If you dare to impeach me, you will pay the price!

Zhang Xun was more and more amazed, Ye Hua can know, and the Son of Heaven must know.

If you can't hide your cousin's affairs, can you hide the deeds of those families?

Lao Tzu went to deal with them, that was logical.

Look, Butcher Zhang is here!

In less than a month, more than 40 officials were impeached, and five families were raided for obstructing Juntian, hiding land, and raising slaves. Two of them were charged with colluding with Tibet.

For a while, Bashu was in the limelight, and everyone in the officialdom was in danger......

"Ye Qing, why haven't I heard that Cousin Zhang Yi is greedy for so much land? Could it be that the embroidered clothes guard dares to hide it? Chai Rong hugged the chubby Ye San in his arms and asked casually, seemingly insignificant.

But anyone who knows about a creature like the Emperor knows that the more he doesn't care, the more amazing he becomes!

Okay, you Ye Hua, I don't even know about things, you know, your power is greater than mine? The embroidered messenger listens to you, but doesn't listen to me, so who is the emperor of the Great Zhou?

Ye Hua leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, whether the embroidered messenger is hiding it or not, I don't know." ”

"Oh? So, didn't you get the news from the messenger of embroidered clothes? Chai Rong was even more angry, "Ye Qing, Ye Qing, you are really hand-eyed!" ”

Ye Hua hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter does not need to be done with hands and eyes, and the minister does not have such great ability. ”

"What's going on?" Chai Rong raised his voice, and together with Xiao Ye San, his eyes widened.

"Your Majesty, this matter is very simple, because of that, I sent someone to stuff those loom fields to Cousin Zhang Xun!" Ye Hua said embarrassedly: "The minister said it truthfully, won't Your Majesty punish the sin of framing the minister?" ”

Chai Rong was stunned, Ye Hua, Ye Hua, you kid is too bad!

Zhang Xun was born and died, repairing roads for me, and wearing out his fingers and toes, such a solid official, even if there is a problem, I will protect it.

It's good for you to set him back!

I panicked for Zhang Xun!

However, in this way, Zhang Xun and the Shuzhong family have formed a mortal enmity, and there will definitely be a result.

"Your Majesty, the minister feels that although the Shu Road has been repaired and Juntian has also done it, it is not a matter of one or two days for the common people to recover their vitality. The movement of the army is in urgent need of food, grass and military supplies, and it cannot rely on the people alone......"

"So it depends on the family!" Chai Rong was so angry that he turned into a roaring emperor, and roared angrily: "You call killing the rich and helping the poor, I am the son of the Great Zhou, not the king of the mountain!" No! ”

Ye Hua nodded hurriedly, "How can Your Majesty be the King of the Mountain, this crime is carried by the minister for His Majesty, and when Zhang Xun finishes his work, the minister will sponsor his official position, so that even if there is resentment, it will be sprinkled on the minister's head, and it has nothing to do with Your Majesty!" ”

"Humph!"

Chai Rong said disdainfully: "I am not a person who shirks responsibility, and look, how much food and military salary can Zhang Xun get, if he can't complete his mission, I will do both of you!" ”

……

Well, Ye Hua's fate is actually tied to Zhang Xun's thoughts, the two of them have become grasshoppers on the same line, Ye Hua can only pray that Zhang Xun will play extraordinarily, come to some surprises!

Not to mention, just a month after the Shu Road was repaired, the first batch of 50,000 stone grain arrived in Chang'an.

Immediately after all kinds of supplies, as if they didn't want money...... In fact, it doesn't cost much, just pay for the journey...... First of all, the most famous well salt in Bashu, Zhang Yi sent 100,000 stones in one go, this thing is not food, what are you doing with so much.

Ye Hua could only use the excess salt to go to the grassland tribe in exchange for cattle, sheep and livestock, and even buy slaves.

Then there is Shu brocade, tung oil, and even pig bristles...... All kinds of materials arrived in Chang'an.

Chai Rong had to carve out a ten-mile-long vacant lot to use as a warehouse to hoard supplies.

Almost at the same time, the weapons and food transported from Kaifeng were also in place, and Chang'an had gold mountains, silver mountains, and valley mountains!

The soldiers are strong, and everything is ready!

Chai Rong showed a relieved smile, he was finally able to send troops to the Western Regions!
