Chapter 168: Refusal
From heaven and earth to life, from the sea to the mulberry field, the epic exchange made Sun Qi understand that after Feng Chuan experienced life and death again and again, as the saying goes, life and death are downplayed, and there is no longer any fear, and there should be no fear. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There are two peaks in the exchange, and it is clear that this exchange is about to be completed, Sun Qi should have successfully obtained that money and repaired his road, but every time Feng Chuan reached a critical juncture, he would turn around and give him a basin of cold water.
But Feng Chuan just has the usual feelings of mortals, he is afraid, afraid that the power in his hands will be taken away, this hard-won power, this power that should be tight and firm, like a part of his body, will now be out of the body because of the strength of a certain organ?
"Brother Qi, is three thousand taels really not enough? Do you know what our county's annual revenue was in the past? ”
"I know, it's only two thousand taels, but now it's different, Jiangning has me, with those few pocket watches, it's enough for Jiangning's annual income! What's more, money is just something outside the body, can't Lord Feng take a long-term view for the sake of building roads? ”
Sun Qi said bitterly. made Chen Shouren unhappy.
"Sun Qi, you are just a small director, what qualifications do you have to teach in front of adults, is it only you right? Aren't adults more far-sighted than you? ”
Sun Qi secretly scolded in his heart, yes, it would be strange if Feng Chuan had my foresight
"Brother Qi, I need some time, when I come back from Jingzhou, let's talk about this matter again, okay?"
The princes and the Son of Heaven sit together, and the only thing to think about is the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven should not only accept the princes on the face of the people, drink and talk with them, not make them angry, but also make them happy, and always pay attention to the faces of the ministers of the court, if they are too good to the princes, it is not good to make the ministers unhappy, and if they are not good to the princes, they will also provoke the ministers to make irresponsible remarks. What's more, he has to always worry about whether these princes lead their troops to ambush inside and outside the palace, and whether their lives can be guaranteed.
Jiangning's financial revenue, and the data on infrastructure construction, are all on the list brought by Sun Qi, Feng Chuan is more and more frightened, the more he looks, the more he feels wrong, if there is one thing that can make him stunned for a few months, it is undoubtedly that Sun Qi's road repair is expected to be 20,000 taels, this is not a small number, this number is the same as the sky.
It is now two years of income, and it is only purely used for that worthless road repair, Feng Chuan thought in his heart, and made turbulent waves, like a boulder thrown into the mirror lake that has not been turbulent for thousands of years.
The financial revenue, the improvement of people's livelihood conditions, and the long-term planning and development of various branches of the government, the subsidies to foreign businessmen and officials, and the annual tribute to the imperial court and agricultural subsidies are all inextricably linked, and even with the ceremonial money, it is a very large amount of revenue and expenditure, but this subsidy is obviously proposed by Sun Qi, but now it must be allocated from the internal treasury of silver taels, just like others make mistakes, let him take the blame, no, this is not a mistake, just to cause trouble.
Good official, clean official, clean sleeves, Feng Chuan, who is full of honor, is a little tired, these policies are too far away, far from the water can not solve the near fire, except for Sun Qi can say that he will move him, he will never approve the money for this project. It's too big, 20,000 taels!
Feng Chuan's heart hurts when he thinks about it, as if he has dug a piece of flesh that pierces his heart, which is difficult to accept.
"Lord Feng, can you trust me once, don't you have any feelings about road construction?"
"Sun Qi, I'm tired, I want to take a break, I'm really tired!"
Feng Chuan instructed Chen Shouren to look at the time, so as not to miss the official ship, the state assassin history was supposed to find trouble every year, if he couldn't reach Wuhu in time, what would he have to say about himself, the state assassin history who was a member of the Luban Association was not easy to deal with, it was much more difficult than Sun Qi in front of him, Sun Qi was just a child, and the assassin history was in the prime of life.
"My lord, do you really want to give up? What about your passion when you were in the army? Is it true that the courage to build an indefatigable feat? Erased by this officialdom? Just after experiencing a few lives and deaths, I feel that I am down-looking for life and death, so those who work all day long in the mines and under the steam engine are down-looking for life and death, how can they be famous and profitable, what are they staying in the mine for? Is it just for a meager wage? ”
Feng Chuan's tiger body was about to get up, and an inexplicable thorn seemed to stir up some kind of soft heartstrings in his heart, making his soul tremble subtly, just like the upper body of the ants, biting the soul and the flesh fiercely, and the faint enthusiasm seeped out from the closed veins, is this hearing the ups and downs, just like a knight who has sealed the knife for many years, but suddenly heard the teachings of the priest, and has to draw the sword again to serve the society.
Sun Qi said excitedly. The breakthrough is not easy to find, and if you catch it, you must follow it well.
"Didn't you say that, my lord? Even this ancient pavilion can stand by the river for thousands of years, not to mention us people covered in flesh? We just have one less chance to be remembered, but now there is an eternal good thing waiting for the adults, but the adults are indifferent, and they have to go further and further away from the deeds of this eternity, which is not something that a real husband can accept! ”
"Sun Qi, you're enough, what are you? Dare to show his teeth and claws in front of Lord Feng, sit down quickly.... My lord, it's getting late, let's go! ”
Chen Shouren urged, and the soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion found a piece of feng shui treasure and buried the horse that died in fear. For them, these horses are not ordinary horses, after retiring from the army, these horses have long been part of life, have long belonged to .... The soldier who had lost his beloved horse was still squatting in front of the grave under the tree and crying.
Big husband? Some laughable words sounded in his ears, and Feng Chuan laughed a few times, as if he was laughing at himself, and it seemed that he was laughing at Sun Qi, right? The blood is gone, what kind of husband are you talking about, do you have to build roads if you want to leave your name in this world?
In an instant, it was just a moment, Feng Chuan strengthened his determination, just like a girl who adhered to her bottom line, refusing anyone's courtship, and rejected Sun Qi's request, which was not mean, but it was also beyond the scope of his own tolerance.
In addition to the original approval of three thousand taels of silver, and an additional approval of ten thousand taels of silver, after many turns, Feng Chuan returned to the original starting point, he must adhere to the bottom line, obviously the ladder under his feet is about to be erected, if he does not stick to it, then what awaits him is only boundless contempt and contempt, not others, it is he who despises himself and despises himself.
"If there is still a chance, we will talk about it when I come back from Jingzhou!"
Feng Chuan left, it should be said that he brushed his sleeves away, he didn't say a word more to Sun Qi, if he said a word, he would always say one more word, say one more word, endlessly, and he would never stop, so he didn't say it, deliberately prolonged the silence, so long that he just made him disappear at the end of Sun Qi's field of vision, until he disappeared from the small point.
Outside the Capture Pavilion, Sun Qi was the only one left silent under the pavilion, Zhang Wenzhong tried to comfort, but he couldn't pull Sun Qi back from his loss.
