Chapter 67: The Unfolding of the Conference: Li Jiancheng's Plan
So in such a meeting, as soon as the boring authorities received the emperor's notice, they came to the spirit, this is the meeting place that belongs to them, this is the first time that the emperor has summoned his ministers after the court meeting, there must be something important to say. So they cleaned up and let those adjutants accompany the many officials to continue the discussion, and they entered the palace en masse.
At the same time, Fang Congzhe and Xu Guangqi entered the palace, the two were eating, but in a blink of an eye, the emperor's holy decree came, Fang Congzhe also laughed and said that this must be the emperor in a hurry to see him, but the content of the holy decree was to invite them into the palace together. Fang Congzhe took a closer look at the holy decree and realized that this time the emperor had convened everyone to 'hold a meeting', and this kind of summit was the first time. Xu Guangqi was actually able to participate, which further confirmed the emperor's attention to Xu Guangqi, and also affirmed the value of Fang Congzhe's relatives to welcome him.
The two entered the palace together, Xu Guangqi was still a little nervous, although he was 58 years old, and the emperor he wanted to see was only a quarter of his age, but this was an affirmation of what he had done in his life! The value of a person's life lies in being affirmed, and it is a great luck for a person to be affirmed while he is alive, let alone at the end of a person's life. (In this era, people can live to 58, it can be said that they are definitely earned), so Xu Guangqi can't help but be excited.
Fang Congzhe saw his emotions and smiled: "Mr. Xu doesn't have to be nervous, Your Majesty is more amiable than you think."
When Xu Guangqi heard this, he also thought that he was a little out of shape, and he replied: "What Fang Gong said is that Xu has a little Meng Lang."
When these heads of departments entered the palace, they were led by Wang An to the conference room specially prepared by Li Jiancheng. These people were still a little confused at the beginning, and the affairs of the emperor's business council were always in the Heart Cultivation Palace, or the imperial study, but this time it was completely different, and they didn't know what the Emperor Dao was doing.
When they arrived at the conference room, they saw that Li Jiancheng was already waiting there, and in addition to that, they also saw a completely different conference room.
A long table was placed in the middle of the room, with a tablecloth on the tabletop, chairs on either side, and a tea set on the table in front of the chair. There are also some ornamental flower pots arranged around the area. There are also greenery on it. And Li Jiancheng sat at the table at the innermost end of the conference room. Such a conference room is a bit confusing for these people.
Of course, they can't see their heads, this is Li Jiancheng in the style of the 21st century, the table is moved to a few identical temporary patchwork, in his mind, they are all emperors, how can there be a boss (this is how embarrassing the emperor's face!) After all, this product is a small farmer mentality).
When Li Jiancheng saw that these ministers were coming, the first thing he saw was Xu Guangqi, who was a little faceless. The ministers have seen too much of the emperor's funny, so everyone should leave this conference room alone, and everyone will pay homage to the emperor first. Li Jiancheng enthusiastically flattened everyone, and then he looked at Xu Guangqi and said, "This is Xu Guangqi, Mr. Xu, right?" ”
Li Jiancheng looked at Xu Guangqi with appreciation, Xu Guangqi was a little at a loss under the emperor's gaze, as if the emperor was very familiar with him. Xu Guangqi replied: "Returning to Your Majesty, Weichen is Xu Guangqi. ”
Li Jiancheng nodded again and said, "Mr. Xu is really old and strong, I have long admired Mr. Xu." After the meeting, I decided and Mr. Xu continued well. Let's talk about the current situation first, don't let you wait for a long time, everyone sit down first. ”
Li Jiancheng's attitude towards Xu Guangqi was seen by everyone present. A person who is extremely valued by the emperor can't help but be ignored by these ministers. However, despite this, everyone began to sit down, although it was the first time they had come into contact with such a conference room, but everyone had already clearly known where they should sit. Fang Congzhe sat on the right side of Li Jiancheng, Han Kuang was on the left, and Liu Yijing was second! Then there are the ministers of various ministries, and the most concerned thing in it is not Xu Guangqi, but the newly appointed Imperial Shi Yang Lian, who is the youngest person in it except for the emperor.
Yang Lian, a rising star, is also the object of everyone's attention, although he and Xu Guangqi are both sitting at the back. Looking at the seats of these people, Li Jiancheng was also a little helpless, and seniority is also a traditional virtue of the Chinese.
"Ahem." Li Jiancheng coughed twice, which meant the official start of the meeting. Li Jiancheng opened his mouth and said: "The main reason for recruiting you here this time is that I have something to discuss with you, Wang An will open the map."
Wang An knowingly unfolded the large map that Li Jiancheng had hung up on the wall next to him. As soon as the map was unfolded, Li Jiancheng walked to the map and pointed to the three eye-catching dots marked on it, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I plan to build three trunk roads between these three points from Beijing and Tianjin to the mouth of the Jinhai Sea, to Baiyangdian, and to the capital in a roundabout.
"You may not understand the economy I am talking about, this economy refers to the material production, circulation, exchange and other activities of the whole society, and it is almost the same if you understand it as prosperity, this is not very important, just make do with it!" Li Jiancheng explained a little and then continued: "Speaking of these three lines, I have considered these three routes, of which the Jinghai route is the heaviest at present, I think this is also easy for you to understand, Tianjin is the entrepot of the capital, and the goods from all over the country mainly take the canal, and a small part go to the sea (although the Ming Dynasty closed the sea, it does not mean that there is no route for offshore ships, needless to say smugglers, Li Jiancheng wants to build the road to Haikou mainly for another reason, that is, the development of seafood in the near sea. In the end, Tianjin, and then come to the capital at the transfer station, although it is also very convenient, but after all, it is limited by the canal estuary, there are many road transfers, and the real benefit area is not wide, especially for the majority of workers and peasants, the river transportation value of the canal is limited. But the land route is different, a good highway can drive the development of the economy and humanity within the surrounding 30 miles, anyone can use the highway as an economic route, do business to prosper agriculture and livestock, etc., so I think that the construction of the highway to the mouth of the sea, coupled with the convenience of the seaport, can undoubtedly quickly improve the prosperity of farmers and small industrial and agricultural enterprises. ”
In addition, it is said that the highway from Jinhai to Baiyang, Baiyang to the capital. These two roads are not as obvious as the Jinhai route for the time being, but Baiyang, which is rich in hydrology, has always been known as Hangzhou in the north, and the land is fertile and the land of fish and rice is called. One of the two plans I mentioned before about rich and strong agriculture was immigration, and I have now tentatively set this location in Baiyang, and the construction of the road is also for the good development of Baiyang. It is also aimed at strengthening the cohesion of the entire hinterland of the North China Plain. Well, you may not understand the hinterland of the North China Plain, but I call the north of the entire national map North China, and because these places are located in a flat area, they are called plains, and they are the central hinterland, so they are called the hinterland of the North China Plain. ”
"You should also know the importance of the hinterland of North China, and I don't need to say more, the construction of these two routes is to enrich and strengthen this place. The second is also to increase the population here, strengthen the development here, and make it a second granary of Hangzhou, a new strategic place for us. ”
"For various purposes, the development of the Baiyang area is of great significance to my Ming Dynasty. Do you understand what I mean? This time I have called you here to discuss this matter, so please share your opinions."
Say what you think? Just kidding, where can these ministers still say their opinions at this time, they have already been thundered to death by Li Jiancheng. Originally, I thought that Li Jiancheng recruited them to talk about the facts about those agricultural meetings, but of course, some ministers speculated that the emperor had other important things! But I didn't expect the emperor to be shocked endlessly, as soon as he came up, it was such a big thing, from Beijing to Tianjin, from Linhai to Baiyang, and he was returning to Beijing, what a long three-way road it was! Not less than 10 million miles (one mile in the Ming Dynasty is only 554 meters, and Li Jiancheng's estimated 600 kilometers to him is more than 10 million kilometers), this emperor actually said that he would repair it, and suddenly gathered his ministers to hold a meeting! It's really going to be a rhythm
The ministers all looked at Li Jiancheng dumbfounded, and Li Jiancheng thought that they didn't understand, so he said, "Why can't you understand what I said?" Is there some new words you don't understand, or are you not understanding all of them? If there are any things that I need to explain, I will tell you about them. ”
Li Jiancheng said this time, emphasizing that Fang Congzhe, who was sitting next to him, was the first to wake up, and he coughed embarrassedly and said, "This...... Returning to His Majesty, His Majesty's meaning and the ministers have already understood, but His Majesty, there is a word that the ministers still want to ask. ”
Li Jiancheng's nerves were rough, and when he heard it, it turned out that they had already understood, and when he heard that Fang Congzhe still had questions, he said casually: "Fang Shoufu has any problems, just say it bluntly."
Fang Congzhe glanced at Han Kuang opposite him before asking a question, Han Kuang also looked at him, and after they glanced at each other, Fang Congzhe said bluntly: "Weichen is bold, may I ask who the emperor is offering this strategy." ”
Fang Congzhe asked everyone else to look at the emperor, only Li Jiancheng was a little ignorant, how could this Fang Congzhe ask such a question, so Li Jiancheng replied bluntly: "No one!" I came up with it myself, what's wrong? ”
Li Jiancheng replied so, and Fang Congzhe replied directly after hearing about it: "No, Weichen just asked casually, as the first assistant, Weichen thought that someone was born, but he didn't expect it to be the wisdom of His Majesty, and Weichen was impressed." ”
Fang Congzhe patted his ass again, and Li Jiancheng said very usefully: "Ha Luha, Shoufu is really patriotic and loves the people and wants to dig talents for the country, but it's a pity that Shoufu will be disappointed this time!" ”
"Where, where! His Majesty's talent is the fortune of the country. ...... "The two of them are blowing each other here, but they don't know what to do, but the others are so disgusted that they want to vomit, and some people begin to think that this Fang Congzhe will only slap the horse, but he is actually an indisputable minister, and half of Fang Congzhe's adulterous reputation in history may be about this."
