"Weichen is stupid, please make it clear to Your Majesty!"

"You kid don't pretend to be garlic, I don't believe you can't guess my thoughts."

"Your Majesty wants to raise soldiers in the house, right? You can rest assured, Wechen will make money for you, but for the time being, I have to let you put it on from the inner library first, and Wechen has no spare money in his hands! Zhang You said helplessly, and pointed to discussing with Zhu Yijun to borrow some money to repair the reservoir, which is estimated to be even more impossible.

Zhu Yijun said with some displeasure: "You kid don't cry for me to be poor, don't talk about the silver that Gewu relies on Baohe Store, and it has to be used for research and development, I don't make up my mind, but Daming Silver has developed well during this time, how can I earn 108,000 taels a month, right?" One guard has 5,600 people, which is enough. ”

Zhang You smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty said less, last month Daming Yinhao earned a total of 200,000 taels, however, forty percent of them are the shares of Baohedian, and you are only twenty percent of the dry shares, even if you don't want to use it for development, you must ask for dividends, I will give you at most 40,000 taels, and you have to figure out the rest yourself." ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and said with a smile: "According to Weichen's opinion, you'd better not insist on asking for dividends, with these 40,000 taels of silver, we can open a semicolon again...... Don't cry to me, the silver that was confiscated from Wang Million some time ago is enough to support the Tianbing Guard for several years, and Weichen still wants to borrow some money from you to repair the reservoir. ”

In the world, it is estimated that Zhang You is the only one who dares to speak to Zhu Yijun in this tone.

Zhu Yijun didn't seem to feel anything wrong: "Speaking of repairing the reservoir, I still listened to what my uncle said, and I was about to ask you, why did you think of repairing the reservoir?" ”

"Yes, Lord Zhang, okay, why did you think of repairing the reservoir?" Zheng Shufei was also very curious and couldn't help but ask.

"Isn't this a new building material invented by Gewu......" I want to say it without asking, so Zhang You didn't hide it, starting from Mary finding the concrete formula, all the way to the drought in the suburbs of Beijing, and when it came to Miyun City God's Temple, he often sold his daughter, and said that the dog was crying and begging him......

"The life of the common people is too hard, the most important thing is the drought, I heard Kang Piyang of Miyun Zhi County say that there are less than 80,000 people in Miyun County, at least one-third of them leave home to beg, and the rest are hungry and full.

The more Zhang You said, the more solemn his expression became, and Zhu Yijun couldn't help but ask: "Is it already so serious?" ”

Zhang You nodded heavily: "In the past few days, Weichen has turned around from head to head, the actual situation is even more serious than what Kang Piyang said, the people in the mountain are ten rooms and nine empty, it is said that most of them have gone to Duoyan Sanwei, in the long run, Weichen is really worried!" ”

"What Lord Zhang said is not an exaggeration, before entering the palace, my father and I went to several places, and the territory of Beizhili was full of starvation, and the situation was really miserable." Zheng Shufei interjected, paused, and said: "I finally understand why Lord Zhang wants to build the reservoir, this is the real move to benefit the people...... Since entering the palace, His Majesty has rewarded you a lot, about three thousand taels, and you will repair the reservoir. ”

Zhang You was stunned for a moment, and bowed deeply to Zheng Shufei sincerely: "Niangniang is really a bodhisattva, Weichen thank you for the people." ”

"Adults are too polite, I also came from the common people, I know what kind of life they live, but it's a pity that it's a woman's family, and I can't help if I want to, or adults, you think long-term. Once the reservoir is completed, the counties around Miyun will no longer have to worry about the drought and no harvest. ”

Listening to what Zheng Shufei and Zhang You said, Zhu Yijun smiled bitterly and said: "Look at the two of you, you say everything you say, as if you have discussed it in advance, if I don't come up with some silver, even if you two don't say it, I'm afraid you should look down on me in your heart, right?" ”

"The concubine doesn't dare."

"Wechen doesn't dare."

Zheng Shufei and Zhang You said in unison, and after saying that, they were stunned at the same time, looked at Zhu Yijun, and the three of them laughed at the same time.

When he stopped laughing, Zhu Yijun's expression was already solemn: "I can't be compared to you...... The old lady is right, this matter does not need to be brought to the court, quarrelling, even if it can be passed, it will have to fall on the head of the Ministry of Industry in the end, to be honest, I really can't believe in the officials, they dare to report three hundred taels of what can be done for one hundred taels of silver. Since you want to do this, then I will fully support you, and first allocate 300,000 taels of silver to you from the inner treasury, and then we will find a way if it is not enough. In addition, you don't have to be responsible for the military salary of Tianbing Wei for the time being, your biggest task at present is to make money, starting next year, I hope that the monthly profit of the Daming Silver can reach 500,000 taels, and when the time comes, even the Queen Mother's share is counted, and then there are such things, it will not be overstretched. ”

These words hit Zhang You's heart, and he nodded heavily: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen will definitely work hard." ”

After returning home, Zhang You heard Wang Jiaojiao say that Li Yan was waiting for him in the study, and hurriedly quickened his pace, and after arriving at the study, he saw Li Yan dressed in men's clothes, wearing a lilac gold dark pattern robe, wearing a square scarf, sitting upright at the desk and looking at something.

He remembered that the manuscript of "Condor" written these days seemed to be on the desk, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed, and while calling "Auntie", he sped up his speed, and when he got closer, the other party was really looking at the manuscript he wrote.

"Why are you here? It's all written and played......" As he spoke, he quickly took the manuscript away from Li Yan and threw it aside: "Guess who I saw today?" ”

Li Yan's attention was really diverted: "Who?" It can't be Jinxia, right? ”

Zhang You covered the manuscript with a piece of white paper without a trace, and gave Li Yan an exaggerated thumbs up: "Auntie is so smart, just guess." ”

Li Yan pursed her lips, this rather feminine action made her look a little weird in men's clothes at the moment, but she didn't realize it: "Don't pat yourself on the back, they said that you entered the palace, not to see Xia'er, not to be so exaggerated." Where did you see her, is she okay? ”

"Concubine Ning of Yanqi Palace, I haven't seen her since I beat Pinggu, I feel like I'm a little thinner than before, well, my temperament hasn't changed, it's still so cold, I was worried that Her Majesty would see through that I had known her for a long time, but she didn't look at me at all..."

Li Yan sighed secretly, isn't it all because of you that she is thin, how happy she is to see you, but she said: "No way, she was born with this temperament...... Let's not talk about her, let's talk about you. ”

"Me? What do I have to say? Seeing Li Yan looking at him with a smile, Zhang You felt a little furious in his heart, and stepped back uneasily.

Li Yan's eyes narrowed slightly: "Why do you feel like you're scared?" It can't be something unfortunate, right? ”

"No, no, no ......," Zhang You hurriedly waved his hand.

"Alright then, I still believe in you...... Well, in fact, I mainly want to ask you, what is the matter between Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo. ”
