Just now the emperor said that he wanted to do business, and everyone had not recovered from the shock, and now he said that he wanted to build a road, which was not an ordinary road, and everyone knew very well that this time it must be a cement road to be built.

Hongzhi said that several place names are more famous cities in the Ming Dynasty, but there is one point, that is, the north and the south of the world, far apart, how much of a project, how much investment.

Not to mention the military significance, it is estimated that many ministers who do not care about the military do not understand very much, just talking about the economic value, Guangzhou to the capital, Guangzhou is also rich in goods, especially tea, fruits, and some rare treasures, once the road is repaired, the efficiency of transportation will also be greatly increased, this road has to pass through many provinces, and the special products from all over the country are shipped out, which has a lot of benefits. Besides, the first line of Beijing-Xi'an-Chengdu, what Xi'an has not said has been a good source of war horses since ancient times, and the importance of the land of Sanqin is needless to say. Shu is the land of abundance, fertile fields for thousands of miles, outstanding people, material production is definitely not a small amount, if it is not for the constraints of the traffic environment, the strength is not less than the south of the Yangtze River. Moreover, located in the border, close to the ancient tea horse road, once the road is repaired, the world's goods can be sold to other countries from this prosperous Tang and Song dynasties, prosperous in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Shu embroidery, tea, grain and other materials can also be transported out, enrich the three Qin, enrich the Ming Dynasty.

Now the ministers began to struggle, in their opinion, the Huangzhuang is so big, no matter how much the output is, there is still a number, but once the road that Hongzhi said is repaired, the benefits created will not be measurable. As long as there is a business in the family, it will definitely benefit. But there is also a problem in it, that is, the royal family is not good to say business, one is to damage the royal majesty, and the other is to make it seem that the Ming Dynasty under the governance of these ministers does not seem to be able to support the royal family, which is too embarrassing. In the future, when it is recorded in the history books, everyone can't help but worry about whether it is good or bad.

What followed was the minister's buzzing discussion, and this time Liu Ge Lao did not reprimand, after all, the implication was too great, and if one was not done well, the world would be agitated. Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao are very happy in their hearts, because now the ministers are in chaos, and there is no way to unite the front.

Some said that they would continue to abolish the Huangzhuang, and the compensation of the silver would be drawn from the treasury, which would be immediately sent to the officials, and the treasury would not be able to take the money for a few years, so it was better to take a bite on the Huangzhuang with all its might, which could be regarded as seeking some benefits for the children and grandchildren. Some said that they should not be abolished, but they were not allowed to do business, so that the treasury would be much more relaxed, and this was a relatively young official, and his days in the imperial court would be longer in the future. Some say that according to the second plan of Hongzhi, these are officials from Sichuan, Shaanxi, and the first-tier provinces of Beijing and Guangzhou, and it is obvious that once the road is built, there will be greater development in the hometown, and their family's business will also flourish. All kinds of discussions, all kinds of reasons, all kinds of sages' original words, Fengtian Temple is a little messy.

Hongji waited for about 10 minutes, and the discussion still did not stop, such a big thing must not be decided in a day, so he coughed twice, and the senior official who was standing relatively high in front immediately stopped talking, and the one in the back saw that the front was quiet, and he slowly stopped talking, waiting for Hongji to speak.

Hongzhi waited for them to be quiet, and then said slowly, "The stakes are very high, Zhong Aiqing might as well go back and carefully calculate the total, and then make a decision at the court meeting in three days." ”

At this time, Liu Jian suddenly walked out of the team slowly, Zhu Houzhao was beside him, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, and the old gentleman nodded at Zhu Houzhao, which was regarded as thanking. After all, he was 74 years old, and he had been standing for so long, but he couldn't be hurt, and the official next to him immediately moved out of the way to let the old gentleman walk to the middle of the aisle. Hongji hurriedly spoke, "The teacher doesn't need to salute, if you have anything to say, it's okay to speak." The old gentleman spoke slowly, although he was old, but he was full of energy, and he couldn't hear a trace of old age, "Your Majesty, the old minister's mentor Xue Fuzi (Xue Xuan (1389-1464), the word Dewen, the name Jingxuan, a native of Hejin County, Shanxi (now Hejin City), a Ming Dynasty official, a physicist, a famous master of science, the founder of the Hedong School, because he had lectured in Zhu Xi's Bailu Cave, he was very popular, so people respectfully called him "Xue Fuzi". He once said to his minister, "Truth and reason are all about everything and everything, and the book of sages is just a model for its reasoning." "The old minister still remembers it as if it was yesterday. Whether His Majesty said it was good or bad, no one knew if he didn't do it. ”

Hongji was very excited when he heard this, and it seemed that he did not agree or oppose it clearly, but the words of the big celebrity still revealed the meaning of support, and also shared a lot of pressure for Hongji. Liu Jian not only relied on the light of Xue Fuzi, but also his own life to clear his name. Hongji immediately stood up, bowed, and replied respectfully, "The disciple is taught." Zhu Houzhao saw that his father bowed, and his son couldn't be idle, so he immediately bowed to the old gentleman next to him. The old gentleman just replied calmly, and for a while the master and apprentice were suitable, and the monarch and the minister were harmonious.

At this time, many ministers were bright-hearted and made a decision, but there was no need to show it now, and the court meeting in three days was the time. Hongzhi looked at it, everyone seemed to have nothing to say, nodded at He Ding, and He Ding immediately said, "Retreat." Everyone bowed, and Koji came out.

When he arrived at the apse, Hongji also yawned, his body was not as good as when he was young, and he couldn't stay up late, so he laughed at himself, and took the step to go to the leisurely house. Zhu Houzhao is not unwell, his body is very healthy, and he is the age when he has the most energy, and staying up late is a complete problem. So he walked quickly to Youranju, he hadn't heard enough about Zhu Houwei's trip to Tianjin.

The ministers also left in groups, and the movement of officials between them in the past two days was bound to be much more frequent than usual.

Zhu Houwei was very depressed, and he couldn't wait to punch his eldest brother obscenely on the smiling face. When he was really sleeping, Zhu Houzhao came over and woke him up, and what was even more odious was that he brought a shield-little girl. The little girl is really fun-loving age, and when she heard the eldest brother say that she wanted to wake up the second brother, she immediately took over the task with an attitude that the bell was too late to ring. Because the step chariot pays attention to a steady, and the emperor sits on it, but he can't fall, so it is relatively slow. Zhu Houzhao arrived here first.

As a result, the little girl took a gong and tiptoed into Zhu Houwei's bedroom with her eldest brother, and then the little girl struck the gong with a "bang", Zhu Houwei fell directly from the bed to the bed, looking at the eldest brother and the little sister "rampant" smiling faces, and then looked at Zhu Houzhao with depressed, aggrieved, and angry eyes, the little girl naturally did not blame, and the only mastermind behind the scenes was Zhu Houzhao.

At this time, as soon as the door opened, Hongzhi and Empress Zhang walked in, and saw Zhu Houwei in pajamas sitting on the ground with a "resentful" face on the quilt, Hongzhi couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" Who struck the gong just now? The hateful little girl had no consciousness of the murderer at all, and proudly jumped to Hongzhi and Empress Zhang with a gong, and happily told her "great achievements". Zhu Houwei got up, so he couldn't sleep, but fortunately, his body was full of energy and energy, and he slept for most of the morning, which was basically enough.

Empress Zhang pinched the little girl's little nose and reprimanded in a low voice, Hongzhi was full of smiles, and Zhu Houwei was depressed, "I'm biological, don't bring this." ”
