Chapter Eighty-Three: Two Lines Together
Gu Yu's words obviously shocked everyone, this is not just to protect their own interests, this is to exchange the interests of some people for the lives of some people.
And this part is not a small part, the resignation of hundreds of thousands of workers, that is, the loss of the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of families, just to destroy a road built by the emperor, that is still a good thing! After listening to this strategy, everyone already knew that the whole thing had deteriorated.
Liu Yijing was stunned for a moment when he heard Gu Yu's words, and then stood up in shock, he said: "No, how can you act like this, regardless of the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people for the sake of a momentary dispute, then what have I waited for, I will never agree to such a thing." ”
As soon as Liu Yijing's words were spoken, the audience was silent, and everyone neither agreed with Yijing's words nor objected to Gu Yu's words. There are many people with all kinds of thoughts, and the emperor that Gu Yu just said is becoming more and more assertive, this is not nothing, everyone is watching it! So now the people here have turned a deaf ear; There are also needle hesitant; There are even more who are completely dissatisfied with the emperor. Sometimes there are things that once humans are aware of them, they will happen after all, as if they were completely unavoidable. It's like a nuclear weapon, if Einstein hadn't brought it up, wouldn't it have been born in human history? Perhaps we should be thankful that it took place in the Second World War, not in a time of peace like today.
This is the end of this discussion in Liu Yijing's mansion, and the meeting that seems to have no decision-making has actually begun to transport his ending, and they want to launch the strategy proposed by Gu Yu, which is completely as simple as saying a word. You don't even need to prepare, you just need to quietly spread the words of this discussion, and those businessmen will do it for them! Merchants don't care about any workers, for them it's hard to find a three-legged toad, and it's hard to find a two-legged person? In this era, there are many poor people, as long as they are given money, who will do the work. The merchants will surely put this strategy to good use. The same meeting of this symposium will inevitably be leaked, and it will inevitably become the attitude of these high-level leaders.
Someone came up before Gu Yu went out, Yao Zongwen and Feng Sanyuan were among them, although these people were not the number one in the government, but they were definitely two knives, and they were not weak knives. These people also said: "Master Gu, what you just said is really reasonable, Your Majesty is so reckless at such a young age, this will not be a blessing in the world in the future, we as courtiers must teach Your Majesty how to be a righteous son." ”
This person's words are so magnificent, and his face does not change, and he is not a talent. Gu Yu was also polite to this person, he knew what everyone in the Dao Dao meant, everyone was a member of the river transport faction, and they were most involved in the entanglement of interests this time, who would do what was good for themselves, everyone was very clear.
This Yao Zongwen also said: "What this adult said just now is reasonable, the king is not careful, and the minister is wrong!" His Majesty's wanton behavior has begun to deeply harm the entire country and the court, and we must not sit on the momentum of His Majesty's continued rise, and there is also a plan under His Majesty that will definitely be able to change this wanton will. Let His Majesty understand how the affairs of this country can be done in one word. ”
Yao Zongwen said that Feng Sanyuan next to him and said, "Oh? Master Yao, if there is any way, it is better to say that it is better to listen to it. ”
Yao Zongwen listened and beckoned to everyone, signaling them to approach, everyone was very curious about his words and came closer, Yao Zongwen said a few words softly, and everyone looked at him as if they had seen a ghost! If Gu Yu is cruel to others, then he Yao Zongwen is really cruel to his own people.
Yao Zongwen saw everyone's reaction and sneered: "My lords, I can't wait for your majesty's temperament without strong medicine, they all say that good medicine is bitter, what is it if I wait for some injuries on my own, Your Majesty will become a big disaster sooner or later." Since ancient times, if we can alert Your Majesty, our name will definitely spread through the ages, and now is the time for me to be loyal, what are you hesitating about. ”
As soon as everyone heard about it, who didn't want this for them? When they heard this, their hearts were a little relieved.
At this time, there was a humanitarian: "Okay, I'll wait and accompany Master Yao." ”
Some people took the lead, others hesitated and agreed, and a new game began, and this time it must be another painful challenge for Li Jiancheng.
And Li Jiancheng came to the construction bureau at this time, Xu Guangqi and Zhou Mingde's preparations were almost done, Li Jiancheng came and could see that the entire construction bureau was making preparations, this time the project was huge, there were more than 3,000 workers in advance, at this time everything had to rely on manpower, unlike all kinds of construction machinery in modern society, a road rolled out.
As soon as Xu Guangqi and Zhou Ming saw Li Jiancheng and came up to pay homage, Li Jiancheng was also very polite to them, and after calling them up, he said: "Mr. Xu has worked hard, I don't need such a big gift when I see me in the future, I have told the courtiers in the court that this kneeling ceremony is only used in sacrifices and other activities." Just use the usual etiquette at the same time! Especially Mr. Xu, you are so old, you have to do such a hard thing for me, I am really grateful to you, I allow you to see me in the future, you can not worship! ”
When Xu Guangqi heard this, he said: "Your Majesty, this must not be, the minister can be reused by this is also because of His Majesty's love, this monarch is a monarch and a minister is a minister, how can I not worship the monarch as a minister!" ”
Xu Guangqi is very affectionate on this issue, even if the emperor treats him well, how can he not worship the emperor, this is a big rebellion. Li Jiancheng can't tell him truth under this concept.
Li Jiancheng changed the topic and said, "Okay, Mr. Xu, you tell me how your work is prepared!" ”
Xu Guangqi also said: "Returning to Your Majesty, the preparations have been completed, and the construction will start as scheduled tomorrow." More than 3,000 workers were gathered this time, and the construction started from Zhengyangmen to Tianjin Wei, which is expected to take five months to repair. ”
Li Jiancheng's eyebrows jumped when he heard this, whether there was a mistake or not, just from Beijing to Tianjin, a distance of more than 100 kilometers, you still need five months for 3,000 people, so it will take you two or three years to repair this triangle road to the mouth of the sea to Baiyang! It's so long, it's been so long to build a road.
Li Jiancheng listened and said: "How much has been raised for fundraising!" ”
Xu Guangqi was a little embarrassed when he heard this, he looked at Zhou Ming on the side and then said to Li Jiancheng: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, and the funds raised are less than 10,000 taels. ”
Just this 10,000 taels is what those rich businessmen gave for the sake of the face of the imperial court, they just didn't want to, and this set of 'benevolence' still had to be expressed. Li Jiancheng nodded, he looked at Zhou Ming and said, "Mr. Xu doesn't have to blame himself, this is also in my expectation, I also told Zhou Ming that I can't see such a fundraiser if this road doesn't start." By the way, I forgot to ask, what do you think of Secretary Zhou's work Mr. Xu! ”
Li Jiancheng asked Xu Guangqi in person, but Zhou Ming was very nervous when he heard it, which shows that the emperor really attaches importance to him! Xu Guangqi listened and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Secretary Zhou is a down-to-earth and capable person, many things that the old minister can't estimate are handled properly by Secretary Zhou, especially this time with those businessmen, Secretary Zhou arranged them properly, and it really helped the old minister a lot!" ”
Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Well, yes, you must cooperate well!" I have to put some burden on you this time, you listen, this time to build the road, I have to open both lines. The road from Beijing to Tianjin, and from Beijing to Baiyang are all repaired by me, and if there are not enough workers, even if we recruit, I will not only open them twice, but also ask you to repair them quickly and well! ”
As soon as Li Jiancheng's words came out, Zhou Ming and Xu Guangqi were both shocked, Zhou Ming had no status and did not dare to speak, Xu Guangqi and said: "Your Majesty, this... Is this too anxious, although this road is a good thing, but it can't be rushed! ”
Li Jiancheng said from afar: "Mr. Xu, you still don't understand, only in this way can more people know that I want to build these roads is not for fun, only by opening the two lines together can those people know my determination, and only by letting them see my determination will more people be willing to follow me." Mr. Xu should know that not long after I first ascended to the throne, the foundation is not very stable, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have their own ideas! I need support and I need to make them understand that what I'm doing is not child's play, I can't let them look down on me, you know! Mr. Xu, you just have to do it boldly, the silver is not a problem, and the pressure on it will be borne by me, you can do it with confidence! ”
The emperor's words have already said this, what else can Xu Guangqi say, he can only say: "Weichen obeys the order!" ”
Seeing that Xu Guangqi understood, Li Jiancheng himself was also very satisfied. After solving this matter, he asked again: "Well, by the way, Mr. Xu, how did you find the Western missionary I asked you to find last time!" ”
Xu Guangqi said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has already been found!" Your Majesty can summon you at any time! ”
As soon as Li Jiancheng heard that he had already found it, he said: "Very good, Wang An, you go and meet these people, I will meet them at noon today!" Don't be bad to them, I have something big for them to do, understand? ”
Li Jiancheng told Wang An, Wang An nodded yes, he naturally wouldn't embarrass those people!
To say that the Catholic missionaries have been in China since the 16th century, but under the conditions of China, they are completely unable to move an inch, and the Catholic system has no effect on the Chinese people, and their missionaries have no security, which has been very difficult for half a century.
Speaking of missionaries in the 17th century, we have to talk about Macao in the 17th century. In the 16th century, Macao was seen as the fulcrum of East Asia, or as a node of the Portuguese maritime empire that spanned Africa, the Indian Ocean coast, the scattered spice islands, the coast of China and Japan. At this juncture of a vast maritime trading empire, Macau stands out in its own right as a trading center, as well as a cultural, ecclesiastical, and political center. In the first half of the 17th century, the trade between Macao and Manila was one of the main trades operated by the Portuguese in Macau. For Macau, this trade is indispensable, second only to trade with Japan, and is one of the main trade lifelines for the Portuguese in Macau.
Li Jiancheng wants to bring Daming into line with the world, and Macao is an indispensable stage. This is also the territory of the church, through the church Li Jiancheng can use the unique resources of Macao at this stage, the power of the church is strong, their mission route is also extremely extensive, you can use the power of the church, and you can almost contact all parts of the world, from here you can find him can get those scarce resources that are not available in the country, such as imported rubber or something, it is undoubtedly the fastest shortcut.
