Chapter 776: Zhao Zhen's Birthday

Zhao Shu doesn't like the ever-changing scholars very much, he would rather see these guys, clinging to the way of Confucius and Mencius, coming to a jade burning, heroic martyrdom, maybe it would be better, at least the appearance is the same, which is admirable.

But even if you feel uncomfortable, you have to show a happy appearance, and you have to encourage and cater to ...... Because the conversion of scholars is beneficial to the change of the law.

My father was right, a good emperor must learn to disguise, learn to act, and learn to hate a group of people, but he must use them.

Over time, it is impossible to distinguish whether it is a real annoyance or a fake annoyance. After acting for a long time, you will enter the drama until you can't extricate yourself.

Zhao Shu is very glad that he still has a place to show his true self, as long as he is free, he will run to the White Horse Temple, and Gouya'er will also live here.

Since the stock and bond markets have moved away, the White Horse Temple has become so wide and empty that you can even run horses and shoot in it...... Gouyaer is working hard to practice kung fu every day, and he has calculated that his father has a lot of weaknesses, the most obvious is that his kung fu is not very good, perhaps this is one of his easiest corners to overtake. There's no way, Gouya'er has regarded his father as a goal since he was a child, and it is quite gratifying to be able to exceed one.

He practiced a stinky sweat and returned to the pavilion, Zhao Shu was drinking tea with Buddha Yin, and when he saw him coming, Zhao Shu said: "I am going to celebrate my father's birthday." ”

"Okay, it's not like you don't have money, whatever." Dogtooth said casually.

"You can't just do it!"

Zhao Shu said very seriously: "Last year was my father's 50th birthday, and it was supposed to be a big event, but the repeated wars in the northwest made my father have no mind, and he only ate a bowl of longevity noodles. Zhao Shu pursed his lips, preoccupied.

As long as anyone who has seen Zhao Zhen should know that His Majesty the Emperor will not live long.

Fifty is the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, no matter what, Zhao Zhen will not be able to live to be sixty years old, to put it mildly, the holy driving Bintian is only between one or two years.

Strictly speaking, for so many years, Zhao Zhen has not celebrated a birthday very decently.

As a son, Zhao Shu felt that he had to make a big deal for his father in order to fulfill his filial piety.

Moreover, during the years of Zhao Zhen's reign, especially in the last ten years, the Great Song Dynasty has undergone drastic changes, the national prestige has become increasingly prosperous, and the territory is vast.

By holding a holy birthday, he should also publicize his merits and completely set the tone for the change, so that his father and emperor will be happy and the world will feel at ease.

Of course, Gouya'er knew the thoughts of the sworn party, and he said happily: "Let's say, if there are any difficulties at the moment, let's find a way together." ”

"First and foremost, it's about money." Zhao Shu said: "Although I got tens of millions of guan, my father didn't allow me to spend it casually, if you want to make Shengshou decent, it is not enough to have a few million." ”

Dogtooth nodded, "This is easy to ......" He shook the Buddha seal on his head next to him.

"Hey, did you hear it, I want to give His Majesty a birthday."

"Ah, I heard, I heard."

The Buddha pretended to smile silly, "Lao Wei immediately asked the apprentices to recite the Sutra of Blessing and Longevity to the saint, praying to the heavens, bless Your Majesty, and live a long life, and the Great Song Dynasty will be forever!" ”

Gouya'er looked at the Buddha seal and sneered: "You said this, aren't you weak-hearted? If you want to find someone to recite the scriptures, do you still need it? ”

"This ......," the old Buddha Yin's face flushed, "What's that...... Shiziye, the poor monk has made some money, but the family has a big business, and the poor monk has no way to make money in the future, and there are many disciples and grandchildren...... I, I donate 100,000? ”

Buddha Yin said tentatively.

Dogtooth didn't listen at all, he spread his hand and shook it.

"Less than that, I will demolish your White Horse Temple."

"Don't, I'll donate, I'll donate!"

"Wait!" Zhao Shu suddenly spoke, "Master Buddha Yin, please donate a sum for Lord Lu!" ”

"Lu, which Lu ......"

"Pretend to be stupid!" Gouya'er snorted angrily: "You lent Lu Yu 2 million, is there such a thing?" ”

"Yes, that's right." Buddha Yin admitted: "However, the poor monk only received 300,000 yuan in interest!" ”

"Phew!" Dogtooth smacked him hard, "You still dare to lie?" Lu Zhi has already said that according to your agreement, if the stock price doubles, he will share half of the cost, that is, 1 million yuan, as a dividend...... Master Buddha Yin, if you don't do anything, you earned 1.3 million guan, let you take out a mere 1 million guan, what is the calculation? ”

Zhao Shu also raised his eyebrows, "Master Foyin, the imperial court has set regulations on the stock market, how to deal with this private loan, it has not yet been decided, Wang Xianggong wants to strictly control it!" ”

"Your Highness, spare the poor monk!"

Buddha Yin was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand, he now has only one way to lend, if it is broken again, he will really drink the northwest wind.

That's it!

Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat dried shrimp!

A prince, a prince.

The two little villains have their eyes on themselves, and if they make money in the future, the big boss will fall into their pockets...... Poor, who am I working for and who am I busy for!

With full emotion, Buddha Yin obediently took out 1 million.

With this money, Zhao Shu finally smiled.

I can surprise my father!

"What kind of gift did you say I would like to prepare for my father?" Zhao Shu asked.

Dogtooth scratched her head, "You remember when we were kids, we used to make wine." ”

After hearing this, Zhao Shu shook his head, "No, if it's an ordinary birthday, it's okay, this time it's a holy birthday, the scene should be big, and the gift should be shocking." ”

Be big, be shocking!

Dogtooth didn't have an idea for a while.

"Buddha Yin, what do you say?"

Zhao Shu also said excitedly: "That's right, the master is already very experienced. ”

"This ...... Of course, it has to be big enough and luxurious enough...... By the way, Your Highness, isn't this just a piece of jade sent to the capital? Buddha Yin smiled: "The poor monk has seen it, so he carved a Buddha statue with this piece of jade and presented it to His Majesty, the meaning is good and likable." ”

Zhao Shu was very happy and nodded again and again, "That's it, please ask Master Buddha Yin to invite a few carving masters to dispose of it as soon as possible, and the finished product will be taken out in a month." ”

"Wait...... Your Highness, why don't you use the jade carving master in the palace? ”

"It costs money to use the ones in the palace."

"Then the poor monk doesn't have to spend money to hire people?" Buddha Yin was speechless.

Gouya patted him on the shoulder, "Fat monk, this is a carved Buddha statue, give it a gift, you have light on your face, show your face for the White Horse Temple...... It's good that you don't care if you want advertising money, you can be content! Remember, don't lose time. ”

After speaking, the two little guys walked away, leaving the Buddha seal to squeeze their eyebrows and eyes, and they jumped like thunder!

It's enough to knock on the old man for 1 million yuan, and let the old man invite someone, you are too ruthless!

Wang Ningan...... It's all your fault!

Everything is money, money, money!

Even the advertising money is there, look at the good apprentice and good son you taught!

……

Buddha Yin's complaints, Wang Ningan couldn't hear them for the time being.

He put down the rebellious troops in Ganzhou, and the next thing was to build the city wall, build a straight road, and build the Western Regions according to his plan...... The project is very huge, and Wang Ning'an's hands can use the people's husbands, prisoners, and coolies, adding up to almost 200,000, although the gap is not small, but it can finally be moved.

He wanted to build Liangzhou and Ganzhou into models, and then follow these two cities and build them all the way to the Western Regions.

First of all, it is to dig all kinds of foundations, imitate the experience of Kaifeng Mansion, establish a sewer system of nine vertical and six horizontal, and dig two artificial lakes in the east and west of the city to alleviate the problem of dryness in the city.

In the planning of the city, the west of the city is divided into government offices, garrisons, and various warehouses, the south and north of the city are divided into markets, and the east of the city is divided into various workshops. The barracks, government offices, and warehouses are all built semi-underground, and the warehouses for storing grain, armor, and all kinds of materials are built four or five zhang deep underground.

The drinking water in the city is divided into two sources: underground culverts and deep wells, to ensure that the city will not be plagued by water shortages.

According to the planning of the city, the administrative districts, commercial districts, residential areas, and industrial areas are all separated by salix, poplar, and pampas grass. There are no rules for the construction of houses in the city, as long as they do not exceed the area divided by trees and vegetation.

All kinds of government offices, barracks, etc., are all made of strip steel and primitive concrete buildings, which look gray and gray from the outside, and have the momentum of the northwest.

Wang Ningan was not in a hurry to build a city wall, let alone to enclose the city and draw the ground as a prison.

He hopes that his soldiers can maintain strong combat effectiveness at all times, which is enough to deter the Quartet. He was not even prepared to build closed walls, but instead built some castles that had both defensive and commercial functions, which could defend against foreign enemies in wartime and welcome guests from all over the world in peacetime.

People of each kingdom and tribe can be arranged to live in different castles to prevent them from communicating with each other and from causing chaos.

Wang Ning'an could predict that in the future, there would be countless foreign merchants pouring into the Great Song Dynasty, and if they wanted to revive the Silk Road, they would have to welcome these guests, but once they were noisy, it would also be troublesome.

Therefore, it is necessary to plan out the residence in advance, restrict them all, and make it easy to manage, even if you want to repatriate, it is just a matter of words.

Wang Ning'an is like a foreman, walking around every day, supervising his subordinates to see if they are doing their best.

On this day, Wang Ningan happened to check the progress of a commercial area and just returned to the house to rest. Chen Shunzhi sent a letter.

"Lord Wang, it was sent from the capital."

"What for?" Wang Ningan asked casually while opening the letter.

"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he wants to give His Majesty a holy birthday, and ask what the prince means."

Wang Ning'an had already unfolded the letter at this time, and from the beginning to the end, he smiled slightly, "Your Highness has a heart, the saint has worked hard for many years, and he should also celebrate his birthday." In this way, in my name, donate 1 million yuan, and then send a message to everyone, calling on them to donate and donate treasures. ”

After arriving in the northwest, Wang Ningan became more and more unscrupulous, he did not feel that this was a forced apportionment, but felt that this was a chance for the people below, a good opportunity to show loyalty to the emperor and show financial resources to the world!

Wang Ningan thought about it again, if you want to make your birthday a little bigger, it is not enough to rely on gold and jade piling up, you must have talents, you want all countries to come to court, and you have to be huge!

"Lao Chen, you go and count how many countries and tribes can come out of the Western Regions, let them prepare generous gifts, send envoys, go to Beijing to congratulate, and witness the face of heaven."

The history is all in ashes

The seemingly small problem of illiterate numbers is quite serious...... Let me tell you something, the little one once took seven subjects, and six subjects were the first in the whole grade, but the total score was not the first...... You know that......
