It took two million years for a person to evolve from a monkey to a human, but once the silver is placed in front of him, he may instantly turn back into a monkey.

The problem with monkeys is that they just want to divide the cake and don't know how to make it bigger, and the result is inevitably a dog-eat-dog.

Tang Yi is not greedy, on the contrary, he is even more greedy and more!

I saw him tempting and agitated: "According to my plan, the population of the capital will increase by hundreds of thousands, does my uncle know what this means?" ”

Zhu Xizhong shook his head, looking like a short circuit, staring at him stupidly. Tang Yi said with a calm smile: "There are originally one million households in the capital, plus black households, as well as business travelers from all over the country, the resident population is conservatively estimated at 1.5 million, and when the construction of the outer city is completed, it will increase to at least two million, and the extra population needs food and clothing, and the demand is amazing." For more than 100 years, the capital has been maintained by transport, and every year there are two or three million stones of grain alone, hundreds of thousands of pieces of cloth and silk, and the rest of the commodities are not counted. The canal has long been overwhelmed, and it costs hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to dredge the river every year and dig up sediment. If the gap widens further, the canal will definitely not be able to continue, and at that time, what does my uncle think? ”

Zhu Xizhong's brain was staring at the bull's eye, he really couldn't keep up with his thoughts, how could he build an outer city and the canal together, even if they were involved, what did it have to do with me, the extra people starved to death if they couldn't eat, and they wanted me to open a coffin shop to make a fortune?

This Cheng Guogong's head is also divergent enough, Tang Yi couldn't stand his bewildered appearance, so he had to uncover the mystery.

"The living can't let the urine suffocate to death, the canal is not enough, so you have to take the sea route, and I suggested to Your Majesty the opening of the sea a while ago, although it caused a lot of waves. However, according to my observations, it is imperative to open the sea. I am prepared to advise Your Majesty again at the appropriate time to approve the quantity of Cao Yun and open up the port of Tianjin under the condition that the amount remains unchanged. Establish a north-south shipping system to supplement the gap in goods in the capital by sea. ”

After Tang Yi finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Xizhong with a smile, waiting for him to digest it slowly, Zhu Xizhong held his head, he was not stupid, if he was stupid, he would not be the first person to be honored. It's just that his thinking is a little old-fashioned and his vision is a little short-sighted.

But after Tang Yi's suggestion, Zhu Xizhong also figured it out.

From water transportation to sea transportation. That's not a simple sentence, the interests behind it are involved!

The canal is not only a water passage between the north and the south, but also a golden stream. Around the canal, along the way tens of millions of people, hundreds of thousands of boatmen, wineries, tea shops, warehouses, money houses, inns and green buildings. To be a dime a dozen.

Although Tang Yi said that he would not change the volume of Caoyun, the increase alone was mouth-watering.

These goods had to be disembarked from Tianjin. Then it will be transferred to the capital, and with logistics, it will inevitably attract merchants from the north and south. At that time, Tianjin's land will definitely soar, and even become the same as Beijing, and it is unknown how much land is worth!

And Tianjin is thriving, shipping ships. Money village ticket number, inn inn, these will develop, and it is much easier to throw some money casually than to rob the outer city where everyone is jealous.

Come to think of it. Zhu Xizhong's forehead was covered with sweat, he really wanted to give himself two mouths, why was his eye sockets so shallow, why was he so unproductive!

is a very big person, and he came to yell and scream with his nephew, which simply disgraced the face of the dignified prince.

He looked ashamed, opened his mouth, wanted to apologize, but he couldn't open his mouth, sighed heavily, and lowered his head in frustration.

"Uncle, if we want to make money, we have to earn money that others can't see and can't do. The outer city is not only stared at by the Yan Party, the inner court, and Qingliu, but even His Majesty, all parties are intertwined, wary of each other, even if they interfere, how much can they get? I can't make a fuss without a fox, it's not worth it! ”

Zhu Xizhong nodded frequently, his old face was flushed, and he said guiltily: "It's all to blame my uncle for being ignorant, don't blame my uncle, I'm such a fool." ”

"Hehe, where did my uncle come from, I'm afraid that things in Tianjin will fall on my uncle in the future?"

"How?" Zhu Xizhong fought with 10,000 spirits. In fact, a few months ago, he received a letter from his sister, in fact, there were many voices of opposition to Zhu's marriage within the Zhu family.

Tang Shen is something, isn't he just a third-class jinshi, he has made some merits, but how can he be compared with the hereditary Guogong, especially when he is not young, and he has a son, no matter what aspect he is not worthy of, Guogong's sister.

According to their ideas, it is best to find someone of the same age in the circle of nobles, such as the Duke of Wei or the Duke of England, who are the best choices, marry each other, form a fist, and take care of each other in the imperial court.

Zhu Xizhong also felt sorry for his sister, and wrote to ask, if he was not happy, if he was wronged, if he lacked something, he would ask for it at home, don't be polite.

How do you know that Zhu Shi ridiculed his brother in his reply. She mentioned in the letter that her husband Tang Shen has tens of thousands of townsmen in his hands, and has won several battles in a row, and he has a hundred promises in the southeast, and the young master Tang Yi is not only a great talent in Jiangnan, but also has a lot of industries in his hands, and when it comes to family property, it is no worse than the Chengguo Mansion, and she eats and drinks far more than her family in Jiangnan, and she doesn't have to be angry, not to mention how comfortable......

When Zhu Xizhong received the letter, he just smiled lightly, how could he believe it, only when his sister was arrogant and unwilling to say soft words, he praised the Tang family like a flower.

Until today, when he saw Tang Yi's ability, he was really impressed, and he really had the ability to turn stone into gold! Zhu Xizhong was a little jubilant, and said in his heart that he had married the Tang family at the beginning, which could not have been more wise. He was attentive to every word of Tang Yi and didn't dare to miss a word.

"After the increase in shipping in Tianjin, it will definitely attract covetousness from all sides, first of all, the idea that Mongolia may attack Tianjin, and secondly, the Japanese will also hear the news. In addition, the advantages of shipping are very obvious, no matter how much you can't say that the volume of Cao Yun will be impacted sooner or later, and these people may not be able to swallow this breath. ”

"Huh? Can that still be done? Zhu Xizhong exclaimed, he didn't want the duck in his hand to fly away.

"Whether you can do it or not, it doesn't depend on your uncle!" Tang Yi said with a smile: "Tianjin needs a strong garrison, according to my estimate, it will cost almost 5,000 foot soldiers and 3,000 cavalry." These 3,000 cavalry are used to deal with the Japanese invaders, don't look at how fierce the Japanese are in trouble, they generally have no armor, but rely on blood bravery, in the face of cavalry charges, there is no resistance at all. The other 5,000 foot soldiers were guarding the city and pressing the ground. If your uncle can win this team, you will be the patron saint of Tianjin and the gate official of the capital! When the time comes, whoever wants to do business in Tianjin will have to rely on the protection of his uncle. ”

Tang Yi's words ruthlessly destroyed Zhu Xizhong's self-esteem, he didn't want to pump himself now, he just wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

The gold and silver mountains in front of him didn't know how to take them, but instead grabbed steamed buns with a group of beggars to eat, isn't this cheap?

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed!" Zhu Xizhong shook his head and begged Tang Yi: "Okay, don't let your aunt know about today's incident, otherwise she will laugh at me for the rest of my life." ”

Tang Yi smiled slightly, "Uncle, it's okay if I don't say it, but you have to cheer up." ”

"Okay, what do you mean?"

"That's not simple, you want to be the door god of Tianjin, can you do it without two strokes? I suggest that my uncle immediately look for suitable generals from the capital and the nine sides, select the soldiers, and don't do the trick of eating empty pay and drinking the blood of the soldiers, shame on you! Besides, you always have to pick up the swords, horses, and martial arts, at least you have to walk around, so that Your Majesty believes that you can carry the burden. ”

Zhu Xizhong grinned, pinched the fat on his face with his hand, and couldn't catch a handful, let alone outsiders, even he couldn't stand it.

"It's done, it's okay, my uncle will practice, if I don't lose this body fat, I don't deserve to be a descendant of the old Zhu family!"

……

The capital in February was noisy, and the proposal to build an outer city made officials up and down remember a name for the first time: Tang Yi!

Those who have good deeds turned out Tang Yi's history, and the big guy suddenly realized that this person who was already a man of the year three years ago, with his cloth clothes, accompanied his father to face the saint, offered advice and recommended Yang Jisheng, and was stunned to save people from the clutches of the strict party. There was even news that Tang Yi also made the proposal to open the sea.

Now it's even more lively, many people are hot, the big guys have opposed the opening of the sea, and now people are proposing to repair the outer city, you will support it. If you say something good, it's not the right thing, and if you don't say it, it's because you're greedy for real estate and only care about your own selfishness.

Originally, those who were afraid of the ancestral teachings and did not dare to openly support Kaihai all stood up.

They wrote one after another, pointing out the benefits of opening the sea, and encouraged Jiajing to make up his mind, and some even turned out the recitals of Tang Shunzhi and Hu Zongxian, quoting their views, saying that if the sea is banned, the country will use enough, and the country will use all kinds of diseases......

Tang Yi couldn't have imagined that a proposal to repair the outer city would actually promote the opening of the sea, which was really unintentionally planted in the willows. It's just that he knows that there is still a big stubborn stone that can't be crossed in the open sea, and that is Li Mo, the secretary of the ministry!

And Li Mo has already begun to act at this time, this old man "under the door, thank the guests, and the minister of Tongzhi can't think of it." "To put it simply, it's a big move at home.

In February and March, on the grounds of old age, he took down 10 people, including Cen Wan, the political envoy of Zuobu, and in the name of illness and impatience, he dismissed the deputy envoy and participated in politics, and according to the envoy and 39 others. Among the ministers who were overthrown, although there were many problems, ninety percent of them were from Yan Song's subordinates, and even the most fair people did not dare to say that there was no reason for party strife.

Even the officials in Beijing shuddered, because according to the normal situation, next year will be the year of Jingcha, if Li Mo does a good job of handling the foreign inspection, and next year's Jingcha is in his hands, then congratulations to Yan Ge Lao, you can go home to coax the child, and everyone who has something to do with the Yan Party is terrified.

It's Tang Yi, he is not a foreign official, he is not in Li Mo's attack, and when he waits for Jingcha next year, he will be transferred out again, and he will escape from the clutches of Li Dazai.

Just when Tang Yi hugged his knees and was triumphant about his genius idea, the spring of Jiajing's thirty-five years finally arrived...... (To be continued.) )
