Yang Rong looked at Hu Guang with strange eyes.

He shook his head.

Then he burst out laughing.

At this point, he couldn't say anything.

Hu Guang saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, and couldn't help but be suspicious, and said, "Yang Gong, what do you want to say?" Well, you say it, I'll listen. ”

People are like this, if you want to say, he won't let you say it, you really don't want to say it, but he can't help but want to hear your high opinions.

Yang Rong pondered for a moment before he said: "Hu Gong, inside and outside the court, the only person I can't understand the most is you!" ”

"Ah......" Hu Guang was stunned.

Yang Rong said: "If Hu Gong is stupid, how can a stupid person steal a high position?" But if you say that you are wise and foolish, you don't like it. I think...... There shouldn't be anyone who can pretend to be like Hu Gong like this. ”

"You ......" Hu Guang was about to spurt out a mouthful of old blood, his eyes widened, and he looked at Yang Rong.

Yang Rong said in a deep voice: "As you said, Xu Qi, the political envoy of Jiangxi, is indeed a capable official, I have understood his situation, but it is just ......."

Speaking of this, Yang Rong deliberately stopped, and after taking a deep look at Hu Guang, he said again: "But Hu Gong, why is Jiangxi the first to build the railway?" And why...... The Manchu Dynasty civil and military, all of them supported it? ”

"Naturally, because of this move, it is beneficial to the country and the people." Hu Guang pinched his beard and shook his head.

Yang Rong smiled slightly: "Speaking of benefiting the country and the people...... Isn't it the New Deal that really benefits the country and the people? You know the situation of the New Deal, the people can finally be fed and clothed, and the money and food in the government treasury have also increased dramatically. Let me ask you, have you ever heard of the history of Beijing that the people can be fed and clothed in the world of Dazhi? ”

Hu Guang was silent for a while.

Yang Rong smiled and said: "Even when the sage ruled, it was just that the night was not closed, and the road was not left behind, but I didn't dare to say that there were no starvation bones on the roadside, this new policy has such benefits, so why ...... The government and the opposition are inside and outside, but they can't always reach an agreement? ”

"The reason for this construction of the railway is that it is so smooth that it is worrying. You and I are ministers, shouldn't we be vigilant in the face of such a smooth thing? ”

Hu Guangdao: "No matter what, as long as the railway can be built, it will always benefit the people." ”

Yang Rong smiled bitterly: "What you said is not unreasonable, in fact, I also hope that I am too worried, it is best to ...... All of this is groundless. Or as Hu Gong said, even if there will be some ups and downs, at least it can benefit the people. Xu Qi is indeed a talent, but a cadre, and I hope he can make this immortal achievement. If he succeeds, the learning of the saints may be continued. ”

Hu Guang's good mood was gone at this time, although he felt that Yang Rong's words were exaggerated, but his heart began to become unsteady.

After thinking about it, he felt a little more worried in his heart, so he said: "Otherwise, order someone to keep an eye on it, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple will all appoint personnel......

Yang Rong bowed: "Yes." ”

Hu Guang continued: "Liu Guan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is in charge of railway affairs, and he must also pay attention to this matter. ”

Yang Rong said quietly: "May they focus on the overall situation." ”

His words were ambiguous.

With a bit of weakness.

…………

The spring of the fourteenth year of Yongle is a good season for Vientiane to renew.

Zhu Di's body is gradually getting a little worse.

He had been fighting for too long, and he inevitably had some old diseases on his body.

Zhang Anshi was ordered to enter the palace to check Zhu Di's condition.

These are all old diseases, not to mention that this is the beginning of spring, and when you are in the prime of life, you can tolerate the problems of the past, but now that you are older, it is a little unbearable.

Zhang Anshi only asked Zhu Di to drink more hot water and pay attention to rest.

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi with a smile, and his voice was a little more gentle, and said: "When I was in the prime of life, I never cherished my body, but now at this age, I know how reckless I was at the beginning, and Zhang Qing should also pay more attention to my body, people...... It's still important to be in the body, and everything else is a floating cloud. ”

Zhang Anshi responded with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister's body is fine." ”

Zhu Di said again: "I heard that the Jiangxi Political Envoy has raised a large sum of silver, and the railway has already started, right?" ”

Zhu Di attaches great importance to the railway, Jiangxi is the land of fish and rice, once the construction starts, the railway is completed, then the loss of transportation will be greatly reduced.

The older he gets, the more focused he becomes on the few things at hand. This railway has also become his top priority.

Zhang Anshi said: "The minister doesn't know much about this, but the minister heard that the situation in Jiangxi is progressing rapidly. ”

Zhu Di said: "Yes, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are very much looking forward to this, and Liu Guanqing's family also played, saying that Jiangxi's progress ......"

Zhu Di glanced up at Zhang Anshi, and then said: "It is faster than the railway in Taiping Mansion, and the Jiangxi political envoy is worthy of being a capable official, saying that it is the completion of the railway, and this person should be summoned to the court." ”

Zhang Anshi smiled, but this smile was a little out of sight.

Zhang Anshi said: "If Your Majesty has more pillars around him, why worry about big things?" ”

Zhu Di looked at his face fixedly, and said, "How can I see that you have something on your face?" ”

Zhang Anshi put away a little smile and said, "The minister is just a little worried. ”

Zhu Dihu said suspiciously: "What are you worried about? ”

"I can't tell."

Zhu Di said: "Actually, I also have some worries, but after the reports from various places and some situations in the DPRK and China come up, I will be relieved." In fact, I don't expect the progress of Jiangxi to be as smooth as that of the Taiping Mansion. So...... The day before yesterday, I also issued an order that in order to support the railway in Jiangxi, I took one million taels of silver from the internal treasury and sent it to the political envoy of Jiangxi to finance the construction of the railway. ”

Zhang Anshi listened, although his face was calm, he was secretly surprised in his heart.

He already felt that Zhu Di was very concerned about the situation in Jiangxi, and this concern carried too many expectations for Zhu Di.

This is a million taels of silver, not to mention the issuance of public bonds by Jiangxi itself, plus His Majesty's million taels of silver, the construction of the railway in Jiangxi can be said to be a rich battle.

You must know that the internal money is His Majesty's private money, and it is very closely watched on weekdays, even if it is a reward for the East Palace on weekdays, tens of thousands of taels of silver must be compared, and there are parts and pieces.

Good guy, now it's a million taels directly, and it will be thrown out with a wave of his big hand.

It's just that...... Hearing Zhu Di's words, Zhang Anshi's eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red, and there was an indescribable sourness in his heart.

He looked at Zhu Di's face, although it was a majestic color, it was also crawling with many wrinkles of the years, and the temples were even more gray.

Because of his physical discomfort, his face showed a little haggard, and he looked a little older.

They have been with each other for ten years.

Zhu Di's temperament, he couldn't understand it well, Zhu Di was suddenly so urgent, obviously hoping that in his lifetime, he could see the railway run through the north and south.

Otherwise, it would never be so reluctant.

This is obviously because Zhu Di's body is a little bad, so he began to have such thoughts.

Zhu Di saw Zhang Anshi's reaction, and seemed to see something, so he laughed and said, "You kid, what are you thinking?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "I didn't think about anything. ”

Zhu Di said: "You don't think that my life will not last forever, right?" ”

Zhang Anshi hurriedly shook his head: "Don't dare." ”

Zhu Di said: "On weekdays, you all say long live, but I know that there is no so-called long live person in the world, and my body is a little worse, but it is not as you think." Just ......"

After a pause, Zhu Di continued: "I just ...... I hope that in my lifetime, I can bring some blessings to my children and grandchildren. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "The minister understands. ”

Zhu Di said: "You are a lot of silent today, and you are not as chattering as before." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "The minister ......"

If there are still people in the world who understand Zhu Di, Zhang Anshi must be one of them.

He saw Zhu Di's mentality of wanting to regain his strength after gradually getting old.

It also shows Zhu Di's great expectations for railway construction.

Zhang Anshi couldn't help but want to tell him that the railway in Jiangxi was very likely to cause chaos.

But this was not said after all.

Zhu Di was a big hand like a fan, slapped Zhang Anshi's shoulder heavily, and said, "What do you have to say, what are you doing?" Hey, then again, I now have some understanding of Master Yao's thoughts, and I dreamed of him last night. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Speaking of Master Yao, Chen remembered one thing. ”

Zhu Di said: "What's the matter? ”

Zhang Anshi silently read in his heart, Master Yao, Master Yao, you must not have a spirit in the sky, your coffin board must be stabilized.

But if you think about it carefully, Master Yao is cremated, not buried, so I feel a little relieved.

So Zhang Anshi said without blushing and panting: "Master Yao once watched the sky at night and said that it was ...... Among the royal family, it is forbidden to marry a wife, if not, there will be a bad omen. ”

Zhu Di glanced at Zhang Anshi deeply, but said, "Master Yao never looks at the sky. ”

Zhang Anshi: "......"

Zhu Di looked at him with blazing eyes and said, "What do you have to say, why do you want to entrust Master Yao?" ”

Zhang Anshi drooped his head: "The crime of ten thousand deaths." ”

Zhu Di wanted to be angry, but now he actually had a much better temper, and finally waved his hand and sighed: "Don't do it again in the future, you are too lucky, you have not been frustrated, and you always think that others protect you, which is a matter of course." If you were someone else, you would have lost your head long ago. ”

Zhang Anshi smiled bitterly: "Yes, minister...... It's important to keep in mind. ”

"I don't think you remember." Zhu Di shook his head and said: "Even if you make a mistake, someone will forgive you, I am like this, the prince will be like this in the future, and then ...... The same is probably true for Jungji. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "The minister knows that he is wrong. ”

Zhu Di didn't say anything, just said: "Go, go, in a few days, come back to me for treatment." “

Zhang Anshi then took his leave.

As soon as Zhang Anshi left, Zhu Di said: "It's also lost." ”

"The slave is here." Like a ghost, he tiptoed and crept in.

Zhu Di said slowly: "You can write down this matter of the Sun family." ”

Yisha frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty...... Didn't he say that Wei Guogong was a man of his own words...... Is it not admissible? ”

"This guy is chattering all day long, I see that he wants to talk and stop, as if he wants to remind, but he doesn't want to tell the truth, he wants to come...... There must be a reason, let's write it down, the marriage of the emperor and grandson is very important, and it is not possible to try it. After all, Zhang Anshi will not harm the emperor and grandson. ”

He also lost his words and said, "The slave obeys the order." ”

Zhu Di immediately sighed.

After a few days, Zhang Anshi did not come, but a new court meeting was held.

This is because Liu Guan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, played about the railway.

Zhu Di lifted his spirits and ascended to the throne in the hall.

Liu Guanjuan said: "The progress of the Jiangxi Railway can be described as fast, and I heard about it...... In just over two months, the station has been built, and this time 170,000 civil servants were levied, and Xu Qi, the political envoy, worked day and night...... Minister...... But I heard that all parts of Jiangxi, hearing about the construction of the railway, all rejoiced, and many people begged for the construction of the railway, at this time the military spirit and the people's spirit is available, and the minister thought that when he was full of energy, he ......

He babbled a lot.

Zhu Di heard the sound outside the strings, so he said, "Why doesn't Liu Qing go straight in?" ”

Liu Guan said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that I still need some silver taels...... It's just that Xu Qi, the political envoy, is unwilling to continue to issue debts and increase the burden of the people, which is ......"

Zhu Di was relieved to hear that the station had been completed in a short period of time, and the roadbeds around had been completed a lot, but he was still depressed when he heard that he wanted more silver.

My money!

But take a deep breath, after all, a million taels of silver have been allocated.

Moreover, over the years, the profits paid by the commercial banks have already piled up the gold and silver in the internal treasury.

So after groaning, he said: "Then add another million taels and tell Xu Qi that since the progress is fast, I will not spare gold and silver, and I will see the railway through before the year, and if it is completed, it will be a great achievement." ”

After hearing this, Liu Guan breathed a long sigh of relief, and hurriedly bowed down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty thinks of the suffering of the people, and loves the people of Jiangxi so much, and now adds this grace, if the people know Your Majesty's painstaking ......"

Zhu Di waved his hand: "Don't say these gossips, tell Xu Qi again, this matter is related to Sheji, I hope he can do his best." ”

All the ministers praised one after another.

Don't mention it at the moment.

…………

Right in the Governor's Palace.

At this time, Chen Li sent a copy of Jinyiwei's recital to Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi read the report, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he frowned.

He looked at it a few more times before he looked up: "Is the news true?" ”

Chen Liyi stood aside quietly, heard Zhang Anshi's question, and said busily: "It has been checked, there should be no mistake." ”

Zhang Anshi took a deep breath: "This is weird. ”

Chen Li said puzzledly: "I don't know ...... the governor"

Zhang Anshi only said: "Continue to monitor, in addition, send a copy of the briefing and send it to the palace." ”

Chen Li said: "Huh." ”

Zhang Anshi stood up, paced back and forth with his hands behind his back: "What other news is there over there in Jiangxi?" ”

Chen Li said: "A lot of news is still fragmented, and a lot of rumors have not been verified, so I don't dare to report it." I just think ...... Something quirky. ”

Zhang Anshi raised his eyebrows and said, "Weird? ”

"Xu Qi, the political envoy, is indeed working hard, appearing on the construction site every day, building a lot of steel workshops, and letting people open mines, and recruiting a large number of people. But...... But...... These days, there are many people in Jiangxi, who either go into the mountains to become thieves, or go down to the lake to become bandits......"

Zhang Anshi frowned, and then said: "This is also a copy of the briefing and submitted to the palace." I can't talk about Jiangxi's affairs, but when it is sent to Your Majesty, everything is clear. ”

Chen Li arched his hand and said, "Obey the order." ”

…………

Liu Guan came to see Zhu Di in a hurry, these days, he has been in a very happy mood, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, it can be said that he is a very popular minister, and now, he has the power of the railway.

As long as you grasp it tightly, the authority of this Ministry of Rites is only afraid that it will not be under the Ministry of Officials.

As for the household......

To put it mildly, in the future, the money and grain circulating in the hands of this household may not be as much as the money and grain of the railway every year.

Liu Guan has this sudden happiness many times in his life, and it is clear that he has not done anything, but he prefers luck and sends it to the door.

A large number of vacancies, and countless money and food distributions have made him popular for a while, and his limelight in the court has gradually become unparalleled.

To put it mildly, in the past, those transporters have always been fat and short. But now, what are those things?

In the future, the political envoys of the world and the railway departments and railway bureaus of various provinces will be the real fat difference.

With so many black gauze hats in his hands, his old Liu family is afraid that the ancestral tomb will soon smoke.

At this time, he respectfully saluted Zhu Di.

Zhu Di held a briefing in his hand, but he glared at him and reprimanded angrily: "I heard that there are a lot of bandits in Jiangxi? ”

"This ......" Liu Guan never expected that His Majesty would be furious at this time.

He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, regardless of the matter of bandits, I am afraid of this matter, I have to ask Jin Chun, the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment." ”

Zhu Di said angrily: "I'm here to ask you!" Taiping Mansion builds railways, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, why is this the case in Jiangxi? ”

"This ......" Liu Guan was a little confused, and after a long time, he took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has heard some bad rumors. ”

Zhu Di said: "You say." ”

"I heard...... Some people are very dissatisfied with the construction of the railway. ”

Zhu Di glanced at Liu Guan deeply, raised his eyebrows and said, "Who are you talking about who is dissatisfied?" ”

"Bachelor Yang Pu Yang has always hoped to be able to preside over the World Railway Division. Relying on his own achievements in building railways, he has always believed that the construction of railways in the world is bound to be successful. It's a pity that His Majesty Shengming didn't go as he wished. So this Yang Pu is going around saying bad things about the Jiangxi Railway......"

Zhu Di stared at Liu Guan, and his lips pursed into a straight line.

Speaking of which, Liu Guan can be described as a strange person who fights Wang Baquan.

In his life, he can be regarded as offending all the ministers of the Yongle Dynasty.

Lu Zhen and Chen Ying are traitors, and he is offended.

The prince and Yang Rong, Xia Yuanji, Jian Yiren, etc., who surrounded the prince, were also offended.

In his opinion, it's not a big deal, I, Liu Guan, have my own faction, who are you, I don't care if you are powerful, I will beat you, and I will still be promoted and rich.

And now these words point at Yang Pu, but who is behind Yang Pu?

It's the crown prince and the prince of Weiguo.

To put it mildly, Liu Guan's words are called against the sky, which really belongs to the category of fighting horses and being terrifying.

………………

I suddenly want to say a few words from the bottom of my heart to everyone. Finally another chapter, the book has been on the shelves for a few months, the later it is, the more difficult it is to write, plus the years of work, the tiger feels a little tired, I don't know if you feel this way? Finally, I asked for a monthly pass, hoping that friends who like to watch can support Tiger. Also, everyone pays attention to the body, the body is the capital of everything, everyone must take care!

(End of chapter)
