After Gu Yanzhang finished talking to Xu Jizong, he turned his head again and glanced at Zhang Zhi with a smile.

Whether it was "asking for silver and grain from the court" or "singing difficulties", half of these words were said to Xu Jizong, and the other half were said to Zhang Bei.

The change of Ganzhou's Zhizhou from Meng Ling to Zhang Zhi has both advantages and disadvantages for Gu Yanzhang.

Meng Ling is the governor of the state, but his head is on fire in the state office, and he can't sleep peacefully, and his people can be said to be completely indifferent to the affairs in the state.

However, although this person can't help at all on weekdays, he has one good thing, that is, he will never hold back.

Gu Yanzhang has served as a general judge in Ganzhou for more than a year, since he established his authority with Tang Fengxian and made a name for himself in the state with He Liuniang's case, he has rectified the state officials again, and since then, from top to bottom, it has almost become his hall.

The people of Ganzhou are convinced of him, the state officials are afraid of power and power, and the displaced people are grateful to him.

Relying on these, Gu Yanzhang was able to command this state, pacify tens of thousands of displaced people, and coordinate Zhuangding to build such a huge ditch.

But once Meng Ling was replaced by Zhang Zhi, the latter was not the brother-in-law of the three kings with a sensitive background, and he never wanted to shrink himself up and not let others see it, and eating and waiting for death was the most important wish in his life.

Judging from Zhang Cheng's previous resume, this person has ideas and ambitions.

When Gu Yanzhang was in Yanzhou, he had heard a lot of Zhang Zhi's deeds, although he had never gotten along with him, but he had some concepts in his heart, knowing that this was a person who always liked to meddle in everything and like to take the lead in doing things.

But one mountain is difficult to tolerate two tigers, although the relationship between Zhizhou and Tongju is not a relationship between superiors and subordinates, but because of the identity of Zhang Zhi's uncle of the queen mother, once he wants to take care of things, no matter who it is, he has to be careful.

In the past, in Yanzhou, even a high-powered general like Yang Kui could only throw him back to the state office, because he was afraid that Zhang would point fingers in front of the battle, and it would be difficult for his family to deal with it.

Compared with Yang Kui, Gu Yanzhang is 108,000 miles behind each other in terms of status and prestige, so it is naturally impossible to act like the other party.

All he can do is try to avoid the conflict with Zhang Cheng.

It's best to get along, if you can't get along, if the other party can do things well, he doesn't mind backing down, but if you can't do it well, everyone will rely on their own abilities.

If there is really any disagreement, as long as you are reasonable, one of you is a royal prince and the other is a courtier, and you don't know who is afraid of whom.

Goshidai is not a vegetarian!

It's just that Empress Dowager Zhang's face is somewhat ugly.

If he was forty or fifty years old now, he might be a little more jealous, but as a champion who was less than twenty years old and had already entered the Beijing official sequence, Gu Yanzhang was not scared at all.

Who is afraid of whom?

Even if he survives for another twenty years, his family is only close to forty, and he is in the prime of life, but the Empress Dowager Zhang ...... To put it mildly, there may not be a chance to show your face.

Of course, this is the worst-case scenario.

Gu Yanzhang introduced the structure, drawing style and construction progress of the culvert in Ganzhou City with the two of them in detail, and when he came to the end, he took the lead in climbing to the ground, and then pointed to a high platform not far away, and said: "In the future, the name monument of the person who funded the construction of the culvert in Ganzhou City will be placed." ”

Xu Jizong was a little surprised and asked, "This culvert was built by the people of Ganzhou City?" ”

Gu Yanzhang shook his head and said: "It's not all, but it also accounts for a huge part, there are too many places where the court has used silver money in recent years, Ganzhou is not so important after all, it is because it failed to get the silver - but the people and the capital know have also seen it, now Ganzhou has more than 40,000 displaced people, thanks to the state last year was a good year, the regular closing of the position is full, and the grain tax has not been paid, but after such a long time, it is still about to be unbearable, if the capital does not allocate grain and silver this time, the lower officials can only arrange for the victims to go to Jianzhou, Zhangzhou and other places earlier. ”

As soon as his words fell, Zhang Zhi and Xu Jizong blurted out in unison, "Absolutely not!" ”

Xu Jizong hurriedly said: "When will Gu Tongju send the invitation to the capital?" ”

Zhang Cheng also hurriedly asked: "How long can the money and grain in the treasury last now?!" ”

Sun Lin stood behind Gu Yanzhang, seeing the reaction of the two of them, he didn't laugh out loud, he quickly turned his head away, and looked like he was seriously looking at the surrounding situation, for fear of being seen The unconcealable snicker at the corner of his mouth.

Gu Tongju, it's really too good at bluffing!

If it weren't for the fact that I had followed the construction of this culvert from beginning to end, I am afraid that I would have been encircled at first glance!

Where in the state did it cost how much silver taels to build the canals......

Obviously, most of it was paid by those rich businessmen!

Not to mention the rich businessmen, the people of Ganzhou have suffered from flooding for a long time, I heard that the state is going to dig a ditch, once the ditch is dug well, as long as the annual maintenance is good, the city of Ganzhou will be able to avoid the disaster of rain flooding in the future, as long as the life is a little passable, everyone is willing to pay silver.

After all, now while the homeless people are here, as long as they come up with some money, they can repair the culverts as soon as possible, and the things that are flooded every year can be worth the silver they come out of.

Besides, the people in the city don't have to serve yet!

This account, whether it is calculated horizontally or vertically, is a good deal.

At this time, almost the rich merchants and people in the city of Ganzhou raised the displaced people together, and they were also happily raised, and the left hand of the state often closed the warehouse and the granary produced grain and rice, and the right hand treasury collected the cashier's money, and only spent a small amount of tens of thousands of displaced people.

And because the camp where the displaced people stayed was built outside the city, and all the strong men were tied to the construction site during the day, the rest of the displaced people wanted to enter and leave the state city, and they were greatly controlled, and the people in the city were hardly unaffected.

In the past, as long as the displaced people were appeased, no matter which state city it was, it would inevitably cause the people to complain, but it almost did not happen in Ganzhou.

Once someone complains a few more words, they will be interrupted by the neighbors next to them - the homeless people help you repair the culvert, and you don't need to be paid, you only eat two meals a day, endure it, how can you take advantage of it! No more verbose, you can fix it yourself!

Generally speaking, when the complaining person hears the previous sentence, nine times out of ten, they will shut up, and the remaining one or two who refuse to shut up will not be silent when they hear that they want to go to their own house.

According to Xu Ming's situation of the state treasury inventory last month, the government is unwilling to allocate silver, and if you want to build this culvert to a rough look, as long as you are frugal and use it, it should be barely enough.

With such an upright face, Gu Tongju looks helpless, he can fool people too much!

Sure enough, he is worthy of being a businessman, and his kung fu on this face is no worse than that of the children of the Shi clan!
