Zhang Anshi knew that Zhu Di still had something to say, so he didn't make a sound, just waited quietly.

Zhu Di pointed at Chen Jinye, but he was even more distressed.

"This person is actually a good official, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a local Qingtian."

This is really a terrible statement.

In the event of a flood, he was able to do it himself, and he was not greedy or occupying during the period of Ren Zhi County, and even the officials in the county admired him, and were willing to take their lives as a guarantee to intercede for this Chen County Order.

is such a person, even if Emperor Taizu Gao is here, not only will he not be punished for his crimes, but he may even be condemned.

Zhu Di continued: "But even such a good official, it still caused me and the imperial court huge losses, and the harm to the military and civilians is not small. But what about the corrupt officials? ”

Chen Jinye just kowtowed to the ground, silent.

He couldn't express his feelings, and everyone looked at the problem from a different angle.

Zhu Di has his own heartache.

But in Chen Jinye's view, the root of this matter lies in the large-scale construction of railways, which has caused a burden on the people. The construction of this railway is really a disaster for the country and the people, and if it is not repaired, there will be no such thing.

Is he right?

In a way, it's true.

As an upright official, in this era, the land is a sacrosanct and inviolable right, and the so-called agricultural society naturally derives from the land a group of gentry, and the group of gentry will naturally form a kind of moral concept.

In this moral concept, land is sacrosanct, and even imperial power cannot easily deprive people of their land, especially if they are not guilty.

As a parent official, how can he take it by force?

The only way is to redeem, but where is it so easy to redeem, how can these people who hold the land in their hands easily give up profits?

Even in the eyes of those big families, how can this not be the case, they also feel that they are born righteous, this is the land handed down by their ancestors, why do you want to build a railway, just want to take it at a low price, I can't sell it?

As a result, the so-called construction of the railway in Jiangxi immediately fell into a dead end, and it became an absurd joke.

But if you say absurd, carefully observe everyone's position, but it seems that no one is wrong, everyone is right, the family and the country are all over the world, the family is in front of the country, even if it is a scholar, it is the Qi family that governs the country, if even the interests of the family can be despised if you don't eat such a large piece of fat, the interests of the clan and your relatives can be betrayed, so how can such a person gain a foothold?

Zhu Di frowned deeply, and said, "I was wrong, I am really confused." ”

Zhu Di's sudden words startled Chen Jinye.

also frightened Zhang Anshi and others, Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty ......"

Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "I am in a hurry to achieve success, and I think I am ...... What this Taiping Mansion can do, all prefectures and counties in the world can also do it naturally. Now we know that what the state capitals of the world lack is not railways, nor is what they lack to be able officials......"

"Speaking of capable officials...... Zhu Di pointed at this Chen Jinye, and then said: "Isn't this person a capable official?" Willing to share the joys and sorrows with the people, honest and upright, can control the officials in the county government in an orderly manner, and everyone respects and fears him, such a person, the official of the Taiping Mansion, if he talks about virtue and conduct, even if it is ability, will he be inferior to the officials of the Taiping Mansion? ”

Zhang Anshi was silent for a while, he wanted to defend the people below, but after thinking about it carefully, although the officials of the Taiping Mansion had their own strengths, they might not be as good as the county order in front of him.

Zhu Di sighed: "What they lack is actually the New Deal." Without the loss of the new policy, there was no way to restrain these gentry from being strong, and taking out their land and building the so-called railway was like the Sui Yang Emperor repairing the Grand Canal, which did not benefit the imperial court at all except for increasing the burden on the people and making great profits from it. The foundation of the prosperity of all industries is not brought up by this railway. Isn't it ridiculous that I am only in a hurry to achieve success, and I actually pin the great rule of the world on the so-called external forces? ”

Zhu Di's face trembled, his face was gloomy, and he sat down on the chair, his eyes wandering, as if he was thinking about something.

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, the minister is here......"

Zhu Di waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "Don't move yet, what's the use of killing so many unministers?" ”

Zhang Anshi couldn't understand Zhu Di's plan for a while, so he said: "Then what ......does Your Majesty mean?"

Zhu Di didn't speak.

But I saw someone outside shouting, "Who is it?" ”

Someone said: "The villain wants to see the county, who is you?" ”

When Zhu Di heard the movement, he said, "Call someone in." ”

Immediately, an errand officer was called in.

As soon as he saw the posture here, he was startled at first, but when he saw Chen Jingye prostrate on the ground, he couldn't help but weaken his legs and knelt down directly.

Zhu Di glanced at the errand and said lightly: "What's the matter?" ”

The officer stumbled, "Yes...... There is an official document from the political envoy ......"

Zhu Di said: "Take it." ”

The messenger glanced at Chen Jinye and saw that Chen Jinye was still kowtowing to the ground and did not say a word.

And he obediently presented the official document.

Zhu Di waved his hand: "Temporarily detain this person." ”

"Whoa."

As soon as the officer wanted to call for help, he was covered by someone and dragged out directly.

Zhu Di immediately opened the official document, only glanced at it, and then asked someone to hand it over to Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi opened the official document and looked down, but there were only a few things said in the official document.

One is urging to continue to build the railway, which is funny, although fools know that the railway cannot be repaired, but this official document is said to be a matter, as if it is a hand-in-hand teaching, teach you how to repair, what to pay attention to, that political envoy Xu Qi is also a talent, whether the railway can be built or not, but this theory is a set.

Even how to lay the sleepers, how much the rails should be spaced, what material to use for steel, and how many craftsmen to recruit are all extremely detailed.

, this railway can be regarded as being played by this Xu Qi.

But then, it is urging the county to continue to issue bonds.

A large amount of debt was issued before, but at first it raised a lot.

But as this debt increased, a terrible thing happened, that is, everyone did not dare to buy it.

But it doesn't matter if you don't dare to buy it, as long as the interest rate is high enough, it can always attract people to buy.

So at first, the public bonds issued here were modeled after the Taiping Mansion, with a few cents of interest.

Now, he began to say that the railway is the foundation of the country, and His Majesty attaches great importance to it, and we are God's ministers, so as to build this road, so as to be worthy of the grace of the monarch and father, otherwise, as a minister in vain, the crime should be ten thousand deaths.

That being the case, when we continue to issue bonds, it is advisable to raise the interest on the public bonds of various prefectures and counties by another 20 percent, to 7 and 9 percent per year, in order to make the military and civilians enthusiastically purchase bonds.

When Zhang Anshi saw this, he was directly taken aback, and even buzzed in his head.

7/9 cent......

What is this concept?

This is more terrible than usury, which is equivalent to borrowing 10,000 taels of silver from the government, and the interest repaid by the government every year will cost 8,900 taels.

Where is this borrowing money......

Zhang Anshi felt that his heartbeat was faster, and he looked at Zhu Di woodenly and said, "Your Majesty ......"

Zhu Di's face was as heavy as ink, and he said coldly: "They are here to raise money, and they have reached the point of madness." ”

Zhang Anshi finally said the sentence in his heart: "This is going to be a big thing." ”

Zhu Di also thought of this, and said: "Of course I know, but the funny thing is that they still use the name of me, saying that they want to share the worries of me, the monarch, in order to build this railway." ”

Zhu Di smiled coldly, like an ice blade in the cold winter.

This operation can be regarded as a god.

desperately borrowed money, borrowed money to buy land at a high price, and all this was in the name of Zhu Di, to fulfill the minister's loyalty and filial piety, and to go to the soup for the monarch's father.

Zhang Anshi was anxious at this time, the interest rate of seven cents and nine cents was too terrible, to be honest, this interest was ...... If it is given to a commercial bank to issue such public bonds, within a few years, the commercial bank will also go bankrupt under the rolling profits.

Zhang Anshi saw that Zhu Di could still sit firmly at this time, but he felt that Zhu Di was too calm, but he couldn't help but take the lead and said angrily to Chen Jinye: "Your county has also issued debts? ”

Chen Jinye said: "It has not yet been issued, it was previously the political envoy of the department, and later it became Jiujiang Mansion." ”

"How much interest is the recent debt?"

"In the last half month, a sum has been issued, and it is four and nine cents...... Two months ago, it was three points. ”

Even three points are scary enough.

That is to say, in order to borrow more silver, frantically issuing bonds, fewer and fewer people can buy, and in order to attract more people to buy, the interest rate given is getting higher and higher, even to the point that even Zhang Anshi feels afraid.

Zhang Anshi gritted his teeth and said: "Do you know, what are the consequences of these debts being issued?" ”

Chen Jinye said: "That's why the lower officials said that the railway misleads the country and the people, and it is actually the way to die in the society." ”

Zhang Anshi was furious, and he couldn't wait to stab this Chen Jinye directly.

But Zhu Di was surprisingly calm at this time, Zhu Di smiled and said, "Very good, let them send it." ”

"What?" Zhang Anshi was stunned, he was a little confused.

Zhu Di said: "Why not? Let them send it, and in this county, they will also send it, and they will all send it. ”

Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Di, and then seemed to understand something.

"Your Majesty...... It is important to be cautious in this matter. ”

Zhu Di waved his hand, but looked at Chen Jinye and said, "Your family is old and young, do you still want to live?" ”

Chen Jinye hurriedly kowtowed: "Minister...... Minister...... Nature...... Nature wants ......"

"Then make a difference." Zhu Di said lightly: "You are still a 'good official' after all." ”

The word good official only made Zhu Di feel sarcastic.

Zhu Di continued: "The whereabouts of me and others, you have to find a way to cover me here. If it leaks a little bit and a half, I don't dare to guarantee it, but I promise to wipe out all three of your clans. ”

Chen Jinye shuddered, and then hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

Zhu Di continued: "As for what the political envoy taught you to do, you can do it well for me." As for me and the others, you will tell the outside world that some of your distant relatives have come here to defect, and you will be responsible for arranging how these people are settled in your county. ”

Chen Jinye's face turned pale: "Your Majesty...... It is already inappropriate to travel in microservices, if you continue to live here...... The minister is worried...... Worried about ......"

Zhu Di looked at him coldly and said, "It's not something you think about, I just have to wait for these two days." ”

Chen Jinye had no choice but to say: "The criminal minister...... Compliance. ”

Zhu Di immediately glanced at Zhang Anshi.

Turned to Zhang Anshi and said: "Give me a note to Yishi, let the celebrant send the following to Wenyuan Pavilion, and teach them to draw up a will, just say that the railway is very important, Jiangxi builds a railway, dare to be the first in the world, and give me a table to Xu Qi, the political envoy of Jiangxi, and teach them to raise silver as soon as possible, and strive to complete the construction of this railway within the year. ”

Zhang Anshi hurriedly stepped forward and lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, take a step to speak." ”

Zhu Di shook his head: "Do what I want, don't be verbose." ”

Zhang Anshi had no choice but to say: "Yes." ”

…………

Wenyuan Pavilion.

A note from the celebrant came down.

After Hu Guang saw this, he suddenly became a little anxious, so he hurriedly went to Yang Rong and Jin Youzi to discuss.

Hu Guang looked very anxious, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty has been hiding for the past few days, but suddenly took this article, what does this mean?" Now the railroad has cost so much money...... Yang Gong ......"

Hu Guang glanced at Jin Youzi, but still said, "I heard...... Over there in Jiangxi, I borrowed a lot of money, and my villagers ...... There are quite a few ......"

He muttered, his voice getting lower and lower.

Jin Youzi is also from Jiangxi, and he knows some of the situation, so he said: "Hu Gong, there are many people in your family who have repaired books for you?" ”

Hu Guang's face was blue and white, although he and Jin Youzi were fellow villagers, but he was closer to Yang Rong.

Yang Rong, who was on the side, had a gloomy face and said, "If it goes on like this, I faintly feel that there may be a disaster." ”

Hu Guang was puzzled: "What? ”

Yang Rong glanced at Hu Guang and Jin Youzi deeply, and then said: "You are all ministers, in charge of military affairs, if you have a heart, you should persuade your own people, you must not get involved, this railway matter...... Now, it's getting more and more incomprehensible. ”

Hu Guang said stupidly: "This ...... This ......"

In the end, he only sighed.

Jin Youzi raised his eyebrows, with a little melancholy, and looked at Yang Rong and said: "Yang Gong, I can't hide it, I am waiting for an official in the court, and my family is far away in the township, if they are lawless in the township, in our name, I am afraid that ......"

Yang Rong Zhengse said: "If this is the case, when the time comes, you will be ruined, but you can't blame others, only blame yourself for having no way to do anything." ”

Yang Rong is surprisingly stern at the moment, he is gentle on weekdays, and occasionally witty, but today he is stern: "These days, I have consulted a lot of official documents exchanged between Jiangxi and various ministries, and I feel more and more that there is something strange in this...... There is no place to die. ”

Saying that, he said lightly: "I don't have the heart to draft this will, Hu Gong is brilliant, so I will ask Hu Gong to draft it." ”

Hu Guang was taken aback by Yang Rong's attitude, and was dumbfounded, speechless for a while.

After half a ring, he seemed to have just come back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes." ”

After he finished preparing the recital, he saw that Jin Youzi had returned to his duty room, so he quietly came to see Yang Rong again, and said in a low voice: "Yang Gong, why did you suddenly lose your temper like this." ”

Yang Rong said with a cold face: "This will is simply adding fuel to the fire, and now the railway in Jiangxi is already strange, but Your Majesty is so anxious, it is really sad." ”

"Moreover, the situation in Jiangxi, I am afraid that it is not a matter of one or two sinners, no one is so bold, and in front of the matter that His Majesty values so much, dare to act so boldly, think about it, there are only two possibilities."

Hu Guang was stunned and said, "What is possible?" ”

"One is that the railway is really difficult to repair, and the cost is huge, and although the top and bottom are doing their best, there are still many mistakes and omissions."

Hu Guang said: "What about the other possibility?" ”

Yang Rong glanced at Hu Guang meaningfully at this time: "The second possibility is that Jiangxi's literary atmosphere is too heavy. ”

Hu Guang was surprised: "What does this have to do with asking?" ”

Yang Rong said: "Are you really confused or fake?" ”

Hu Guang couldn't answer for a while, he couldn't say that he was confused, but he couldn't turn the corner for a while, and he didn't know what Yang Rong meant.

These two people can be regarded as making up for their temperament, Yang Rong is extremely smart, and if anyone is as smart as Yang Rong, I am afraid that two smart people may not be able to get along.

And Hu Guang's popularity is extremely good, no matter how Yang Rong is angry in front of him or has thorns in his words, he doesn't care.

However, after listening to Yang Rong's words, Hu Guang began to come back to his senses a little, so he said, "What do you mean...... No, when I was in the countryside, all I saw was Coats. ”

"Coats?" Yang Rong sneered with a bit of sarcasm in his tone: "Everything you see is Coats, that's because you are the same as them, and they treat each other with courtesy." If you are a peddler and a pawn, you can see if they take you Hu as a person. ”

"Don't scold, why are you so angry today." Hu Guang looked aggrieved.

Yang Rong still stiffened his face, brushed his sleeves and said: "All in all, you can do it yourself." ”

……

Chen Jinye couldn't sleep for the past two days, and when he thought of such a big Buddha living next door to him, he panicked.

He has tried every means to hide the whereabouts of Zhu Di and others.

After all, he prides himself on being loyal and filial, and he definitely does not dare to disobey Zhu Di.

What's more, this is also related to the lives of the family.

But what happened next made his anxiety start to get worse day by day.

Within two days, the county's public bonds were released, and a lot of them were sold.

When the county Cheng found him, he was shocked when he saw the number, and said, "There are so many, why are they so enthusiastic?" ”

The county said: "The interest rate is so high...... Why not enthusiastic? County Honor, Lower Official...... The lower officials are afraid of selling ......"

Chen Jinye didn't see any joy on his face, and only muttered: "I'm also scared, scared to death." Can these people buy ...... I'm not afraid ......"

"How could they be afraid? No one can refuse to repay the debts of the county, but can the government not pay their debts? The county man smiled bitterly and continued: "The county lord saw who the people who purchased the public bonds were, and he knew in his heart. ”

………………

I finally finished writing, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief and ask for a monthly pass by the way.
