Chapter 68: The End of the Council and the Fall to Hell

"Ahem!" He Fang and Fang were hypocritical to each other, and Li Jiancheng said with a blushing face and a heartbeat: "Let's go back to the topic of our meeting, do you Aiqing have any questions about what I mentioned just now?" ”

As soon as Li Jiancheng's words were finished, the first person to speak was Li Ruhua, the head of the household department, who was a minister with 'crime', and the position in his hand was still an 'agent', but despite this, he still said sincerely: "Your Majesty's ministers have discussions, although Your Majesty's reasoning is understood. But the project that His Majesty said is really huge, I am afraid that the silver is not less than 10 million, and the annual tax of the imperial court is only 500, in addition to the military expenses of the silver in addition to some other expenses of the imperial court, the remaining silver of the household is not much, and in the near future, His Majesty is about to get married, and the imperial court needs an expense, and there is really no silver to start such a huge project! Wechen thinks that it is impossible for at least ten years, and forced work is afraid of hurting the country. ”

As soon as Li Ruhua's words were finished, Cui Jingrong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, continued: "Your Majesty, Weichen also thinks that it is inappropriate, and now that Jin and the Northeast are gradually gaining a foothold, they are constantly harassing the border of our Ming Dynasty all the year round. Please think twice."

The military department is really afraid that the emperor will move such a huge project, so the silver of the household department will definitely be spent, and his military department will eat a lot of money in the household department, and in the end, it must be the trouser belt of his military department that will be tightened, so it is not allowed Cui Jingrong not to be nervous.

Li Jiancheng listened to the words of the two, but he said in his heart, is it still ten years? Do you dare to push a little farther, and make a yarn ten years later! Thinking of this in his heart, Li Jiancheng smiled lightly and said: "You Aiqing don't need to worry, I have thought about these problems a long time ago, so all the money this time will be paid by me!" ”

As soon as Li Jiancheng's words came out, everyone was shocked here! This money is paid by the emperor himself? They couldn't believe that the emperor was so generous!

You must know that although the emperor was rich in ancient times, he was still stingy. Especially for the poorest emperors in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's expenses were also very large, hundreds of thousands of taels at every turn, and tens of thousands of people in the entire court also depended on the emperor to feed. The taxes of the Ming Dynasty were the lowest again! Wanli reigned for more than 40 years before he saved Li Jiancheng so many tens of millions of taels of silver, and the Qing Dynasty was robbed of hundreds of millions of taels of silver by the Eight-Nation Alliance, not to mention anything else.

So when the emperor wants to pay such a large sum of money, it makes these people frightened by the emperor's courage, of course, there is another person present who is very painful, this person is Wang An, he can be regarded as knowing that Li Jiancheng will throw money outside no matter what he does that time! Next time, he must stop the emperor in advance, and he will not be able to open the pot in the palace like this.

Li Jiancheng continued: "That's right, the money this time will be paid by me, not a penny from the ministry, and I also have a plan to tell you, because it is not a certain person who will benefit from building the road this time, but everyone in the entire North China region!" ”

"So I plan to set up a construction company, and I also plan to set up a construction bureau, and you should know about the new building materials I promoted a few days ago, this construction company is based on these new materials."

Li Jiancheng said that these people may already know the building materials, but they don't know what the so-called company is in the road, Han Kuang first said: "May I ask Your Majesty, what is this company?" ”

"This so-called company is an operation department, from the workers to the management as a whole, operating on its own, but under official supervision. Well, you don't have to mind if you have a new name."

For Li Jiancheng's explanation, all the ministers were powerless to complain, so they didn't speak, and Li Jiancheng continued: "One of the main purposes of establishing this company is to collect funds, so let's put it this way!" Once the road is completed, freight tolls will be charged! This means that there will be a special tax for merchants and the transportation of goods from the merchants. Income tax is used to run the company, and the money is mainly used for the maintenance of roads and the wages of maintenance workers. This road can't always be repaired by me, and everyone also knows that a road is not just a matter of repairing, he needs someone to constantly supervise and repair it for a long time. ”

"That's why I set up this company because it's so necessary, and the construction bureau is used to supervise it. Now the problem is that because the construction of the three sections of the road is very long, and there are many areas that pass through, and there will be a lot of situations, this money cannot be completely taken out by me, so I want to attract merchants from all over the country to invest, and those who invest in this project can reduce the transportation fee in terms of numbers, and this is completely voluntary, and of course the more funds can be obtained, the better. So I want to find an Aiqing to help me with this, who wants to deal with these businessmen, and is willing to take the position of the director of this construction bureau? ”

As soon as Li Jiancheng's words came out, everyone was like eating a fly, and they couldn't say a word. The words mercenary are completely described, and they have to pay for it themselves? The emperor's explanation is simply to make them pay taxes in advance!

How is this possible! And looking at the emperor's expression, he obviously hopes that this thing can be done, and none of the people sitting here are small people, who wants to be despised because of such a thing! But this tells them to deal with the merchants, how can these scholars and doctors touch their faces, this is not worse than killing them!

Seeing that these people were silent one by one, Li Jiancheng said a little speechlessly: "Why is no one willing to go?" ”

Li Jiancheng opened his mouth to ask again, but this time the cabinet minister Liu Yijing was the first to answer Li Jiancheng: "Weichen thinks that this matter still needs to be discussed, and the use of the canal is still enough. ”

Liu Yijing said this, this girl is worthy of being old-fashioned, he said this completely for the Caoyun collective, Li Jiancheng will definitely rob Caoyun's business if he builds a new road, Li Jiancheng was simply laughed at by Liu Yijing's words, he said: "That's in line with your meaning, I paid out of my own pocket to build a road and hurt people, didn't I!" ”

Li Jiancheng's words were full of anger Everyone heard it, this Liu Yijing was also a demotion agent, and his companions naturally didn't want him to anger the emperor because of this, and Sun Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Your Majesty misunderstood, Lord Liu didn't mean that." In fact, as a person who reads, it is unseemly for the ministers to go to the company of the merchants of Nashijing! ”

Li Jiancheng was said by Liu Yijing's words just now, and he really had the illusion of being said to be doing bad things with good intentions, he didn't understand what these people thought, so as soon as Sun Shenxing's words were said, Li Jiancheng didn't think about it, so he poured him down: "If you lose your dignity, then what kind of official will you be?" ”

Li Jiancheng's sentence made Sun Shenxing stunned, and everyone else also looked at Li Jiancheng stunned, Li Jiancheng was also a little confused, what he said just now was a little unable to stop the vehicle, and then he thought that anyway, this temper will also be sent, then send it thoroughly!

So he continued, "I really can't figure it out, what are you sitting here for?" I'm here to talk to you about the livelihood of tens of millions of people, and you're talking to me about the system here? And for the sake of your system, you can even use it as a reason to veto the livelihood of tens of millions of people. How precious your physique is, I really want to know the Dao! I also have a question for you, what are you doing as officials? ”

Li Jiancheng lost his temper, and the youngest person present was three circles older than him, but he lost his temper with these people who could be his elders.

Li Jiancheng said again: "I said bluntly, for the livelihood of these tens of millions of people, I can go to hell and be with evil demons, what kind of system do I care about you?" Do those of you sitting here have this spirit of going to hell? If you don't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes, which is what I have been emphasizing! Tens of millions of people's livelihood or your personal system, can't you tell the difference? I want an official who can go to hell now, who is willing to give up his 'system', his 'honor', and his 'dignity' as a scholar for the sake of the people, I need such a person, who of you is to stand up and let me see! ”

Li Jiancheng's words have come to such a point, not to mention that these courtiers don't understand, even his momentum makes these ministers unable to look at them directly. Can they be said to be wrong about the fact that he can go to hell and be in the company of evil spirits for the sake of the livelihood of tens of millions of people? So they were speechless!

But there is another person present, this person is Xu Guangqi, his eyes looking at the emperor can be said to be old tears, Li Jiancheng's words are simply to his heart. For a life, I will go. For the life of the world, although the gate of hell is gone! In such a sentence, it is really not an exaggeration to say that in this era, people like Xu Guangqi are not exaggerated.

It is rare to be sure of life, he quit the table on the spot and knelt down in front of Li Jiancheng and said: "Minister Xu Guangqi, if Your Majesty does not give up, the minister is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" ”

Xu Guangqi's language was simple, but his words were sonorous and powerful in the entire conference room. Li Jiancheng stood up and raised his hand to help Xu Guangqi, and he was delighted: "Okay, good, I still have a courtier like Mr. Xu in the Ming Dynasty, which is really a blessing for the world and the people!" ”

Li Jiancheng's words to Xu Guangqi were like a slap in the face of others, and these people in power couldn't help but blush, especially Sun Shenxing, who had just spoken, no matter what kind of personal system and the livelihood of tens of millions of people were not comparable, and his words completely changed when they arrived at Li Jiancheng!

After Li Jiancheng pulled Xu Guangqi up, he turned his head and said to the person who was still seated: "I don't know how you think of it, but I think that the so-called politics itself is the dirtiest thing. I will also have such a concept in the future, as long as it is something that can be good to the people of the world, no matter what it is, I will find a way to do it, I don't care if he becomes a system or not, I only care about whether the people in the world live well or not! If you want to engage in academics, you have to go home and be a teacher and a gentleman, and you can do some of them! For what are you going to be an official? Think about it, what are you doing as officials? The same is true for my future concept of employing people, if you don't have the intention of going to hell, you won't be an official, and if you don't have this kind of mind, I don't have anything to do for you here, sooner or later you will have to leave me! That's all for today, adjournment. ”

Li Jiancheng lost his temper, anyway, everything was said, then all the words were said, the special case alone was completely the special case alone, Li Jiancheng took Xu Guangqi away, leaving only a group of ministers looking at each other You look at me and I look at you, their eyes seem to be asking, what are you doing as an official?
