Chapter 863: Thoughtful
"The holy decree has arrived, the Duanming Palace, the Longtu Pavilion is to be systematized, and the Jixian Academy will compile Feng Jing's decree!"
In Chang'an City, above the Feng Mansion, he probably didn't expect the holy decree to come suddenly, and after a period of chaos, he could be considered to have set up the incense case and prepare to receive the decree. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The system says: I Ching has clouds: 'The house of goodness, there will be afterglow.'" Those who have not bowed to the good and are not tired afterwards are also depressed. Am I stingy with praise? Er Feng Jing is a bachelor of Duanming Palace, Longtu Pavilion to be systematized, and appointed as the third envoy Yu Yuanshou, now worth the compilation of Jixian Academy, the righteousness of its nature, its good line, the outline of the Quartet, in the country has great merit, in the people have great virtue, it is appropriate to praise the compilation, in order to show the potential virtue. Zotte Gift: The position of the first assistant of the cabinet, assisting me in the community. Er Ling is not ignorant, and he still knows the glory. I only rule the world with literature, and fight chaos with force. And the military commander will be the pillar of the imperial court and the dry city of the country. How can those who are in the three yuan not make efforts to repay their achievements, but they can not be praised for their favor? Feng Qing burned his salary, broke the book, and was awarded the first assistant of the cabinet. The tin is destined to be in the play, the toe is outstanding, the green lock is the training of the righteous side, the class clothes are radiant, and the light of the purple table is Yuqing. I hope that Feng Qing will not fall into the ambition of Qingyun, and he needs to learn from Wuhou, serve the country and the people, and do his best! Qin this, the twentieth day of the first month of the twelfth year of Hongxiang. ”
After listening to the holy decree, Feng Jing didn't come back to his senses for a while, and when he saw the inner servant of the decree closing the holy decree with a smile and handing it to him, he came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Minister Feng Jing respectfully asks for Tian'an!" ”
The proclamation attendant said, "Saint Gong'an! ”
Feng Jing was full of etiquette: "Thank you!" ”
The inner attendant of the proclamation also took the trouble to say: "Heaven is gracious. ”
Feng Jing's mood was difficult to calm down, and his voice trembled and said, "Minister Feng Jing, forever obey the resignation!" ”
"Honesty is a precept. Feng Shoufu, you have to work hard in the future! It is difficult for Your Majesty to make up your mind to choose you as the first assistant. By the way, you go to the Ministry of Officials, step down from the original post of compilation of Jixian Academy, and follow me into the palace to face the saint......" The inner servant of the decree remembered Lu Chengqi's instructions, and he did not dare to slack off at all.
Feng Jing was fifty-two years old at the time, and he had been kneeling for a long time, and his knees were a little inconvenient. With the support of his family, he struggled: "There is Lao Gonggong!" ”
After that, he took care of it, took the official seal, went to the official department with the inner servant, and after handing over the work, he entered the palace from the Xuande Gate.
Looking at the not very magnificent Xuande Gate, Feng Jing sighed with emotion.
The past of Sanyuan is unbearable to look back, suddenly like a night, and it has been a long time.
Feng Jing has always had great ambitions, but when Nai was unlucky, after becoming the third envoy of the prime minister, he was belittled again and again. If it weren't for Lu Chengqi's pro-government power, he would still be a criminal official in Hengzhou now.
After being transferred back to Beijing, Jixian Yuan compiled "Hongxiang Dadian", which was painstakingly and almost finished, but it was about to be picked by someone. It stands to reason that Feng Jing should be angry, but when he thinks that he is the first assistant of the cabinet, this loss is nothing.
When he arrived outside the Vertical Arch Palace, the inner attendant went in to reply to the decree, leaving Feng Jing there to sigh.
After a while, the chamberlain came out again and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty said, Feng Shoufu will ask to see him in the future, and there is no need to tell him!" ”
Such an honor can only be enjoyed by the emperor's close ministers, and Feng Jing believes that he has really become the first assistant of this cabinet.
After entering the Vertical Arch Palace, Feng Jing bowed his head: "Minister Feng Jing, thank Your Majesty for your grace!" ”
"Alright, alright, what are you doing with so much red tape?" Lu Chengqi's voice came from the front, "Speak closely!" ”
"Yes!" Feng Jing adhered to the principle of courtesy, respectfully intervened in his chest, and stepped forward to listen to the instructions.
"Feng Qing, what do you think about Jiangnan?"
Lu Chengqi didn't raise his head, and continued to review the folds, which was already the vote submitted by the new cabinet. The country is so big, how can Lu Chengqi be busy if he doesn't hire a few helpers? Do you have to be like Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, go to work before dawn, and then review and fold until midnight? Zhu Yuanzhang was born with mud legs and is energetic, although Lu Chengqi has exercise, he doesn't dare to joke with his life!
Feng Jing is also a bold person, otherwise he would not anger Yang Daoqi and belittle him again and again. He immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the matter of Jiangnan has both pros and cons!" ”
"Oh, how do you say?"
Lu Chengqi listened to it interestingly, and immediately put down the golden pen and said, "Let's sit down and talk." ”
Feng Jing thanked him again, and after sitting down, he said bluntly: "Your Majesty, my Dashun originally produced grain, and most of it was on Shandong East Road. Shandong East Road is close to the Yellow River, and Beijing grain is guaranteed. Now His Majesty has transferred the people of Shandong East Road and gone south to the south of the Yangtze River to reclaim wasteland, which is of course a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but the transportation of grain from Beijing takes a lot of time. In the south of the Yangtze River, only Su Lake and Huguang produce more grain, and in the south of the Yangtze River, although there are many water parks, there is no waterway directly to Jingzhao, how can we easily transport grain to Chang'an? The people of Chang'an are more than one million, if you only rely on the grain of Jingzhao, it is just a drop in the bucket! Your Majesty also knows that the people regard food as the sky, and if they don't have enough to eat, they will definitely make trouble......"
Feng Jing's words have long been wanted to be said. However, he is soft-spoken, and the performance is definitely not taken seriously. Moreover, the Jiangnan incident was led by Xu Chongguang, the first assistant of the previous government, and all the twists and turns had to be drafted by the cabinet.
There is a way to eat a trench and grow a wisdom, Feng Jing has suffered hardships, and he has long learned to cultivate obscurity. It wasn't until this moment that he became the head of the cabinet that he could speak his mind freely.
Lu Chengqi nodded and said, "This is true, what Feng Qing is worried about is also what I am worried about." Feng Qing, please see, this is the Shangshu Li Jie, the Ministry of Industry, and Chen Xun, the supervisor of Qintian, and Yu Yingtianfu. ”
Feng Jing took a look, it turned out to be a major water conservancy project to open a canal!
He was taken aback: "Your Majesty wants to open up the Yellow River and the Yangtze River?" ”
"Exactly!"
Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "Only the canal can make Jiangnan completely become my Dashun granary!" It's a pity that the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee, either for personal interests or for the party, all played the impeachment of Li Jie, Chen Xun, and I stayed in the middle and carried it down. How can such a short-sighted person understand my ambition? It's just that the treasury is tight, and I am thinking about whether to let the people benefit the people, gather water transport merchants, and build the canal together. ”
Since ancient times, the construction of water conservancy has been a major project, let alone such a big thing as digging a canal?
After Feng Jing thought about it carefully, he said slowly: "Your Majesty is far ahead, it's just that the treasury has been unable to make ends meet recently, what can I do about it?" ”
"That's why I wondered if I should add the cost of river transportation to the transshipment department. The road has been repaired to Henan Province, and you need to pay every time you get on the bus. Although the river transport is carried by its own boats, the canal is not free to use. I prepare 100 stone goods and charge Baiwen River freight; Thousand stones are charged consistently, and so on. As for the canal, together with the merchants, they hired young people to excavate together, participated in the excavation of the merchants, and the river freight was halved for a period of 30 years. "Lu Chengqi's plan has been well thought out for a long time, and it is also the best solution. Without the participation of merchants, even if the Grand Canal is excavated, it will be blocked in the future, and it will be difficult to dredge it. (To be continued.) )
