Chapter 523: Uprooted

Zhang Anshi nodded.

Ma Yu's vision is indeed not wrong.

Of course, it may not be that this guy has any vision after a hundred years, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than this kind of big businessman, who is good at collecting all kinds of information and looking for business opportunities.

Zhang Anshi was a real person, and asked directly: "Entering Xinzhou in a big way, Ma's ship will ...... How much silver have you prepared? ”

Obviously, Ma Yu had already prepared, and immediately replied: "First take two or three million taels of silver to test the waters, mainly to acquire some mines, set up a few steel workshops, in addition, I also want to invest in some ports and build a dock." In the future, it's hard to say, if it is profitable, it is nothing more than a matter of raising silver, even if it raises hundreds or even tens of millions of taels of silver, it may not be impossible. Ma's Boat Company has also prepared hundreds of backbones, ready to enter Xinzhou at any time. In the future, the route between Xinzhou and Daming can also increase the frequency of ships......"

This is definitely a good thing for Zhang Anshi, Zhang Anshi couldn't help but smile: "If that's the case, then this king is very welcome, Mr. Ma, what do you need this king to do?" ”

Ma Yu thought for a while and said: "I don't have to worry about anything for His Highness, just report to His Highness, this is certainly a trivial matter for His Highness, but for Ma's Boat Company, it is a big matter." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Okay, you can do it with confidence, this king has already learned." ”

Let people send Ma Yu away.

Zhang Anshi got up and paced a few steps.

Zhang Sanlai changed the tea for Zhang Anshi and said, "Your Highness......

Zhang Anshi said: "Go get pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." ”

Zhang San was busy taking pen and ink, Zhang Anshi groaned, repaired a letter, handed it to Zhang San, and advised: "Send it out tomorrow and send it to Xinzhou." ”

"Whoa."

Zhang San looked at Zhang Anshi's expression, and then said, "Your Highness, why are you so preoccupied?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "The sky may be about to fall pie, this Ma ship line, plans to invest in Xinzhou on a large scale, so much manpower and material resources, as well as wealth, coupled with this thorn with the official family, Xinzhou is only afraid that it will be thriving." ”

Zhang San couldn't help but say strangely: "Isn't this a good thing?" ”

"Of course it's a good thing." Zhang Anshi said: "The most important thing is that this Ma Yu has made a sample, and other commercial firms are afraid that they will also scramble, and many things, if someone takes the lead, it will be easy to do." ”

Zhang San said: "Since it is a good thing, how can Your Highness ...... It seems that you don't think about tea and rice? ”

Zhang Anshi glanced at Zhang San and said, "You know a bird, go busy with yourself." ”

Zhang San smiled and left.

For Zhang Anshi, this is of course a good thing!

From another point of view, it may not be entirely a good thing that so many large commercial banks with strong capital have entered Xinzhou in a big way.

After all, these big commercial banks are too financially strong, and over time, they will inevitably get involved in the vast majority of industries in Xinzhou.

So after Zhang Anshi groaned, he decided to give Yang Shiqi a letter.

At the same time, he had another thought.

It's just that this idea still needs to be reported to His Majesty.

At this moment, Zhang San hurriedly came in again, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Your Highness, someone is coming from the palace, someone is coming." ”

Zhang Anshi raised his eyebrows and said, "In the palace? ”

Zhang Anshi taught people to open the middle door to greet them, but they were also lost.

This is also lost, and it is not lively.

Yisha has been much older over the years, and he didn't feel it when he was in the palace, but now under this daylight, he feels that the white hair on his sideburns is particularly conspicuous, and the corners of his eyes are wrinkled.

At this time, he also lost Ha and said: "Zhang Anshi, the king of Wuhu County, received the order. ”

Zhang Anshi led people to bow down.

Yishu said: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: I inherit the holy thread of Emperor Taizu Gao, and I am awarded Fengzongzhou, trembling, and there is no slackness." Since I ascended to the extreme, the world is changeable, and it is to stabilize the community, and all rely on loyal and brave ministers to help me serve the society and appease the people. Zhang Anshi, the king of Wuhu County, has made great contributions to the dynasty, has many military exploits, and also has the talent of Guan Zhong, and I rely on many people. When I was seriously ill, I had drafted a will, canonized him as the king of Song, and now I am gradually calming down, and the king has no jokes, and still canonized Zhang Anshi Song Wangjue, awarded the golden book and golden seal, and still gave his town Xinzhou, awarded his country name Song, and gave 30,000 households, such as craftsmen, military households, and civilian households, so that he placed hundreds of officials to serve the king's temple. ”

Zhang Anshi was full of surprise when he heard this, but he still thanked him first.

Yisha smiled and said, "Don't worry, there is more." ”

Zhang Anshi bowed down obediently again, posing as if he was listening carefully.

Yizha said: "Zhang An's son, Zhang Changsheng, canonized as the prince of the king, and the second son, Zhang Changnian, attacked the king of Wuhu County, the town of Taipingfu, and Qinzai." ”

Zhang Anshi hurriedly got up and couldn't help but say, "Did you say that you ordered me to go to Xinzhou?" ”

Well, this is very important to Zhang Anshi!

Yisha smiled and said, "Your Majesty said...... Of course, this is not a verbal statement, just a casual remark. ”

Zhang Anshi looked at him with burning eyes and said, "You say, don't sell Guanzi." ”

Yishu said: "Your Majesty said that Changsheng is getting older, he is the son of the world, and in two years, he should take on some responsibilities and go to Xinzhou then." Your Highness, don't worry about it, let your children and grandchildren be useful. As for the Taiping Mansion...... After all, Changnian is still young, His Royal Highness King Song, you are only worried about the king on weekdays, and you should also fulfill your responsibilities as a father, so you are here, guarding for him, and taking care of the affairs of the Taiping Mansion. Lest ...... Something went wrong with the pool. ”

Zhang Anshi's eyes lit up a little, and he couldn't help but say: "In this way, what Your Majesty means...... Not only for the prince, but also for me to stay in the capital, right? ”

Yisha smiled and nodded, "That's what it means." ”

Zhang Anshi sighed: "Your Majesty...... It's really true to the word, admirable. ”

Yishu Hale said hehehe: "In a few days, I chose a good day and an auspicious day, and I have my own canonization ceremony, of course, this is not something that His Royal Highness King Song should worry about, there are people Zhang Luo." Your Majesty teaches you to keep to yourself, and the top priority at the moment is to cut off the wings of the traitor. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "I have already thought about it, please go back and tell Your Majesty that this king has come up with a strategy to completely eliminate the thieves, just so that these rebellious ministers and thieves can be wiped out in a unified network." ”

Seeing that Zhang Anshi was full of confidence, Yisha couldn't help but want to ask, but he felt that it was a little rude to ask, and he said with a smile: "Okay, what Your Majesty is waiting for is His Royal Highness King Song." ”

Immediately, he also set off to return to the palace to resume his life.

And this Wuhu County Palace, but it was lively all of a sudden.

Many people learned the news and came to celebrate, such as the carp crossing the river.

Zhang Anshi didn't see anything, but summoned Yang Pu, Gao Xiang, Chen Li, Zhu Jin and others overnight, and even Deng Jian.

And in the end, there was Xie Jin.

Xie Jin didn't have any expression on his face, just sat down indifferently and didn't greet anyone.

Zhang Anshi appeared, everyone didn't have time to celebrate, Zhang Anshi sighed: "I, Zhang Anshi, have received the weight of the country's grace, and have not seen it in all dynasties, every time I think of this, I can't help but cry, I can't wait to repay this gentleman's kindness, this time, Your Majesty is seriously ill, but there are still rebellious ministers and thieves to make trouble, it can be seen that the world is not so calm on the surface, but as long as there is a trace of space to drill, they will drill out, and try every means to make trouble." ”

Zhang Anshi paused, and then said: "Because of this, it ...... This time, we need to have a foolproof plan, to completely uproot them. ”

Gao Xiang couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, haven't you already arrested many people?" ”

Zhang Anshi shook his head and sighed faintly: "People can't be caught, as long as some people are angry, some people are dissatisfied, and some people want to take the opportunity to make trouble, sooner or later, there will be a day of resurgence." That's why this king said, "It must be uprooted." ”

Zhu Jin laughed, and then said: "I think Your Highness already has an idea, we have always been loved by His Highness, so we are today, so you might as well ask Your Highness to come up with this idea." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "The idea is there, but it's just some superficial views of this king, so I invite everyone to come and take a look and give some advice." ”

Everyone said they didn't dare.

At this time, Zhang Anshi had already taken out a charter.

It's just that this charter is far beyond everyone's imagination, and there is a book as thick.

At this time, it was placed in front of everyone.

Seeing this, almost all of them sat upright, probably knowing in their hearts that this was not a trivial matter.

I stayed up until dawn.

Under the discussion of everyone, after deletion and revision, everyone retired with a tired body.

In the evening, the people who had been on duty came again, and they were still making deletions.

And so for several days.

When Zhang Anshi received the canonization and got the golden seal and the golden book, he is now ...... is already regarded as the king of Song, in the envy of the Manchu Dynasty, Zhang Anshi did not lose himself, but immediately met him.

Zhu Di, who was sitting firmly on the royal chair, looked at Zhang Anshi with a smile, looking at this guy, to his surprise, he actually found that Zhang Anshi, who was after Prince Feng, did not seem to be in good spirits at happy events as he imagined, but was in a state of low spirits, looking drowsy and not waking up.

So Zhu Di's eyes unconsciously became a little more concerned, and he couldn't help but say: "Look at you like this, you are even more unsafe than me, sit down and talk." ”

Zhang Anshi thanked him, and then said truthfully: "These days, the minister has been working all night and doing one thing. ”

Zhu Di's eyes opened slightly, and he became interested, so he said, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "The minister first reported a small matter, and he needs to ask His Majesty for permission." ”

Zhu Di bowed: "Say it." ”

So Zhang Anshi said: "This matter is indeed a trivial matter, and it mainly involves Xinzhou. Here in Xinzhou, some time ago, that Ma Yu came to see the minister......"

Obviously, Zhu Di was quite impressed by this name, and couldn't help but raise his eyes and say, "Ma Yu, that champion?" ”

Zhang Anshi nodded and said, "It's this person." ”

Zhu Di stood up, put his hands behind his back, and paced a few steps before he said, "This person is a character, it's a pity...... It can't be used by me. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't hide the look of regret on his face.

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "Isn't it for His Majesty to pay so many taxes every year?" ”

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Haha......"

But immediately, he seemed to think of something, and immediately straightened his face again: "Okay, okay, it's almost there, it's all money, money, you go on." ”

Under His Majesty's gaze, Zhang Anshi had no choice but to restrain his smile, put on a solemn attitude, and said seriously: "Ma's ship line plans to invest in Xinzhou on a large scale. ”

Zhu Di bowed: "This ...... There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that. ”

Zhang Anshi continued: "The minister is thinking, Ma Yu has hit this head, and next, I am afraid that many commercial houses will also enter one after another." Xinzhou was originally a barren land, but now it ...... There is some new atmosphere, but to speak, it is still lonely overseas, these big business houses, but they are not fuel-efficient lamps, if Xinzhou is full of big business houses like Ma Yu, it is good, but it can be ...... Still have concerns. ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he glanced at Zhang Anshi meaningfully.

Of course, he knew what Zhang Anshi meant, a person like Zhu Di could be said to be an old man who had become a fine person, so he said: "So what is Zhang Qing's plan?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "If they are prevented from going, it will be greatly disadvantageous to my new continent." But if there are too many constraints, they will inevitably be discouraged. And if they are allowed to do so, the minister is worried that they will control Xinzhou at that time...... So...... The minister thought of a solution. ”

Zhang Anshi paused and continued: "Then, it's better to ...... Well, over the years, the minister has also saved a lot of silver, plus there is a lot of wasteland and mines in this new continent, which is owned by the minister, so it is better to ...... Based on this, we will establish a new island investment promotion bureau and invest! ”

"If someone wants to contract a mine, China Merchants can take a stake, in addition, if someone wants to build a workshop, as long as the transaction is feasible, China Merchants can also take a stake, on the other hand, China Merchants still needs to set up a money bank to mint coins. Since it is inevitable for the merchants to enter, it is simply ...... Song Wangfu ...... Let's be the largest trading house in New Zealand. ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Isn't this Qixia Commercial Company?" ”

Zhang Anshi also smiled: "That's what it means, in addition, in some key transactions, China Merchants can also carry out some layouts, to cover all walks of life, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

Zhu Di groaned, and then said: "You are the lord of Xinzhou, you have decided for yourself, just do it, why do you need to come to report me?" ”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "What the minister is thinking about is, otherwise, the palace will also invest a little in the China Merchants Bureau, and the minister will give 20% of the shares." Of course, the Song Palace's Mansion will account for eighty percent anyway. Your Majesty rest assured, the future will ...... There must be a lot of profit, and His Majesty is far away in the capital, and he can also enjoy 20% of the income. ”

Zhu Di didn't have any refusal to this, he still knew Zhang Anshi's ability, and this investment was almost equivalent to a book of profits.

is as smart as Zhu Di, and obviously understands what Zhang Anshi means, once the Daming Palace is invested, Xinzhou will be profitable in the future, and this income will inevitably become an important pillar of the palace.

At that time, in many things, Daming will have to provide some convenience to Xinzhou, after all, Xinzhou is lonely, and many transactions and businesses, to put it bluntly, need to be escorted by Daming, and they also need to be earned from Daming.

Zhu Di was also simply, didn't say much nonsense, and said directly: "How much silver is needed, you can count it." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "The minister thought about it...... Your Majesty can mean it, there is a change of two or three million taels of silver. ”

"Okay, I'm right." Zhu Di actually agreed, obviously for Zhu Di, this silver can still be easily taken out.

A big stone fell to the ground in Zhang Anshi's heart, and then said: "As for the second thing, it is not trivial. ”

Zhu Di sat down, held the tea cup, and after taking a sip of tea, he also began to sit upright: "Let's talk about it." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Over the years, the anti-party can be said to be endless, and the essence of it is not that some people naturally want to be anti-party, but really ...... The opposition party has already had a foundation, and as long as this foundation is still there, then there will be people who will succeed him. So...... The minister felt that now that the climate had been completed, it was time to completely smash this foundation. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but be interested, he looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "Keep talking." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "As long as one day, the new policy causes people's interests to suffer, there will be people who have trouble sleeping, and there will be people who are dissatisfied with the court, and they will have resentment against the court either openly or secretly." Your Majesty has eliminated a lot of thieves over the years, so it is better to take this opportunity to spread this new policy throughout the world. ”

Zhu Di was even more interested, he stared at Zhang Anshi with a pair of tiger eyes, and continued: "Such a big stall...... How to roll it out? ”

Zhang Anshi said: "We can't be like before, the breeze and drizzle, it's time to strike hard." The minister had already drawn up a detailed charter, from education, to railways, to farming, and even commerce, imperial examinations, etc., and made some detailed suggestions, the first of which was to build the railroad first......"

Zhu Di frowned, and said very unexpectedly: "Railway? At the beginning, he was in Jiangxi to set up a political envoy ......"

Zhang Anshi said: "This time is different, this time ......... It is necessary to focus on the railway, the minister suggested...... Set up a Ministry of Railways, under this Ministry of Railways, there are inspection, school, supervision and other departments, to manage along the railway, station military horses, establish inspections, and even set up judges, take care of the grinding and other positions......"

After hearing this, Zhu Di seemed to notice a slight difference, and immediately said: "What about your charter, take a look at me." ”

Zhang Anshi immediately took a copy of the charter: "This is just a general chapter, an outline, and many detailed rules, with tens of thousands of words, and the ministers will sort it out in a few days before submitting it to Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Di nodded, then took a closer look, and soon, Zhu Di understood.

Zhang Anshi's purpose is to build a railway, but to establish a super organization that focuses on the railway business and surrounds the railway.

Not only are there special road guards and military horses, but also their own yamen for trials, special patrols responsible for public security, their own finances, and yamen specializing in engineering and scheduling.

This is equivalent to the direct establishment of a three-division organization along the railway, which is completely independent of the provinces, in which the functions and powers of the former political envoys, the procurators, and the metropolitan command departments along the railways are directly deprived.

Zhu Di's face became more and more serious, and he couldn't help but look up at Zhang Anshi and said, "Come, you talk to me carefully." ”
