At this time, Hu Guang felt a little ...... inexplicably Pleasant.

At this time, even Hu Guang gradually realized the benefits of the new deal.

Of course, he is still moral, and he is still a little worried, after all...... Three or four thousand taels a year, this is something he couldn't have imagined in the past, and it is real money, neither a treasure banknote, nor a discount or arrears for you.

So he said timidly: "Your Highness, you say...... This Yang Gong ...... The number of Yulu has suddenly increased dozens of times, will it be too much? Your Highness, don't get me wrong, what the old man means...... I always feel that it makes people feel unsure. ”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "I am a hundred officials of the Ming Dynasty, so many people like Yang Gong, living on meager official salaries, if you meet a crazy corrupt official, just meet an honest person like Yang Gong......"

Hu Guang subconsciously opened his mouth and said: "Yang Gong is not honest, he is shrewd...... Oh, oh, you go on. ”

Zhang Anshi smiled at the corner of his mouth and said: "If you meet Yang Gong who is so honest, he is dignified and honest, but he only has to live by seventy or eighty stone grains, you say...... What kind of day is this? Yang Gong is still from a product! Hu Gong, think about those five-grade, six-grade, seven-grade, eight-grade, and nine-grade...... Yang Gong is still like this, can they still live? Isn't this forcing good people to become prostitutes? Anyway, I Zhang Anshi can't look past this matter, anyway, I, Zhang Anshi, am already notorious, this matter ...... I, Zhang Anshi, will do it, if Yang Gong is not steadfast, but this king sees so many Yang Gong, who is clearly law-abiding, but he has to live a difficult life, so he is not steady. ”

Hu Guang's chicken pecked the rice: "Yes, yes, yes, Yang Gong can't be wronged." His Highness is a good man. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "I compare my heart to my heart, and I can't talk about any good people or bad people, but I have a good heart, and I can't see people being wronged." ”

Hu Guang almost cried: "If Yang Gong knew that His Royal Highness cared about him so much, I don't know how happy he would be." ”

It's not too early, Zhang Anshi went back to the duty room, he had to be in Wenyuan Pavilion, and he had to do some things before he went to raise the affairs of the new department.

Hu Guang did not go back with Zhang Anshi, but stayed for a while, and then slowly returned to Wenyuan Pavilion.

It just so happened that at this time, Yang Rong had just finished drinking a cup of tea and came out, and collided with Hu Guang, Yang Rong said: "Hu Gong...... Why didn't you see you? ”

A trace of unnaturalness quickly flashed across Hu Guang's face, and said, "I've had a bad stomach lately, so it's just right to go out for a walk and eliminate food...... met His Royal Highness King Song and exchanged a few words with him. ”

"Greetings?" Yang Rong looked at Hu Guang with a smile, Hu Guang was an honest man and would not lie to him.

Hu Guang nodded a little embarrassedly.

Yang Rong said: "What did you greet? ”

Hu Guangdao: "Talked about you! ”

Yang Rong: "......"

…………

Inside and outside Qixia, he began to cheer up again at this time.

The new ministry means that there will be a large number of people who will be appointed.

A large number of vacancies will inevitably bring a large number of people to rise.

This Ministry of Railways has thirteen divisions, as well as various yamen, and even guards and inspections, and even schools, which have to be built.

This also means that there are many more people who want to achieve a class jump.

Following Zhang Anshi's new policy is the most promising, as long as a salted fish keeps to himself, he can turn over.

How many small scribes who used to be have changed now have become not only officials, but also have people who are political parties and glorify their ancestors.

Especially on the side of the Railway Division, this new ministry is mainly involved in the railway business, and His Royal Highness King Song will inevitably draw backbones from the directly subordinate Railway Division.

This is just like when Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Gao of this dynasty fought the world, there were so many people in the world, but when Han Gaozu fought the world, most of the heroes and famous generals came from a small Pei County.

At that time, there were so many counties in the Qin Dynasty, and there was only one Pei County, but there were countless fierce generals and famous ministers, naturally it could not be because of the sudden genetic mutation of the people in Pei County.

It's because, a lot of times, you're following the right person, and then you're ...... This person has given you a lot of opportunities, given you a platform to display your talents, and through these platforms, he will constantly polish you, so that you can become a useful talent, and finally people like Xiao He, Cao Shen, Fan Xu, and Xiahou Ying can shine.

is also like Emperor Taizu Gao, the famous ministers and fierce generals in the early Ming Dynasty are mostly from Huaixi.

Nowadays, almost the entire backbone of Zhili, except for the earliest batch such as Gao Xiangren, the rest of the backbone are mostly from the official school or the arithmetic school and the military academy.

Now, everyone has faintly felt that His Royal Highness King Song is about to order again.

Just like those Confucian students, because of this education and the fact that they had already received the favor of the New Deal, the civil and military officials who graduated from the universities were quite fanatical about the implementation of the New Deal.

For them, pioneering the New Deal and making contributions is like their own mission.

Especially for the old officials, they mostly showed disdain.

In fact, pamphlets have begun to appear in the market this time, instilling that they should use the new ministry to check and balance the old officials, which can be regarded as preparing to fight a turnaround battle.

Because of this, many young civil and military officials have great enthusiasm, and they just wish that they could be transferred to the new department, although they may have to leave their hometowns and stay away from the prosperous Zhili, but even if they go to barren places, if they can make meritorious contributions and fight against these old officials, I don't know how many people's wishes in life.

Zhang Anshi has always been a man of action, so a few days later, Zhang Anshi summoned people to the newly established ministry, and then read out His Majesty's will, and then began to recruit and dispatch people.

This has made many students happy, the three university halls, and other schools, this year's graduates, at least forty percent, need to be transferred directly into the new ministry and the railway department and the government.

The Zhili Railway Division also began to allocate backbones.

In addition, the prefectures and counties directly under the government also need to transfer some manpower.

Then there is the recruitment of workers, whether it is craftsmen or laborers, as many as there are.

After explaining a little, Zhang Anshi didn't say anything, and told everyone to do their own thing.

But Zhu Zhanji was very puzzled.

He waited for everyone to finish before he said, "Uncle, such a big matter, just explain a few words?" ”

Zhang Anshi understood what Zhu Zhanji meant, and said with a smile: "If you have to take care of everything, then Uncle is afraid that he will not be able to live now, and he must trust everyone." By the way, the railway commander is the envoy, I plan to teach Zhang Xuan to be the commander of this capital, what do you think? ”

"Zhang Xuan?" Zhu Zhanji frowned and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Xuan is in the model camp, isn't he killing chickens with a knife?" ”

Zhang Anshi shook his head: "Zhanji, it seems that you are still too young, and you still don't understand the mystery here, do you really think ...... Is this railroad division here to protect the road? ”

Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand, so he said in a daze: "Isn't it?" ”

Zhang Anshi smiled: "You are wrong, this is used for Li Dai Taozhuang." ”

Zhu Zhanji: "......"

Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Zhanji, who didn't know why, and said: "The essence of the Ministry of Railways is a new imperial court, and it is a small imperial court that can extend its tentacles to the prefectures and counties of the world, and it is a building built on its own on the ruins. ”

That's the equivalent of ...... It is to let the railway departments of the provinces act as political envoys. Use the railway department's road guards to replace the guards all over the world in the future. Replace local education with schools under the Railway Division. With the affiliated medical school, to spread medicine. Replace them with the justice of the railway. Then, with the railway as the backbone, the world will be connected, not only interconnected, but also rapid circulation, and finally achieve the purpose of changing the world's course. ”

Zhu Zhanji understood at this time.

Zhang Anshi continued: "Therefore, everything here, our uncle and nephew, must be handled seriously, and the personnel, officials, and administrative abilities of the Railway Department must be strict. The railway capital commanded the envoys, and they practiced in the manner of the model battalion, at least ...... It should also be a model battalion with light equipment, so as to be well-trained, so that the railway officers and soldiers of the guards can replace the guards. ”

"There are also medical schools, schools, according to the judges, criminal departments, and all of the above, to set an example to the military and civilian people in the world, and to teach the people of the world to judge, whether it is the three local divisions, or the railway divisions of the provinces that are more beneficial to them."

Zhu Zhanji's eyes lit up slightly, and he said with a little excitement: "Uncle...... It turned out to be a dark Chen Cang. ”

Zhang Anshi shook his head and said: "It's not about the secret Chen Cang, this is also a helpless thing, to this point today, if you don't change it, sooner or later there will be chaos." Junki, Uncle is all for you. ”

As he spoke, he patted Zhu Zhanji's shoulder, and then suddenly seemed to remember something, and said, "Oh, that's right, you're a waiter, I'm just afraid...... Gotta work harder. ”

Zhu Zhanji immediately said: "Uncle has anything, just give orders." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "At present, when the railway is being repaired, the first thing to connect is Jiangxi, which is the hub of Jiangnan and the most important. It's just that here, the literary style is prosperous, but the literary style is prosperous, but it also means ...... There are many stubborn people here. At the beginning, His Majesty built a railway here, and there were a lot of troubles, even if His Majesty killed a lot, but killing people could not solve the problem. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Anshi sighed, and then said: "This time, this railway is going to be repaired again, and the ambassador of the Jiangxi Railway Division ...... I'm afraid that you, the waiter, need to serve part-time, and you will set this precedent. ”

When Zhu Zhanji heard this, he immediately sharpened his knife: "Uncle, can I do it?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "The ambassador of this railway department has a lot of power, and he has jurisdiction over the civil affairs, military affairs, criminal prisons, education, finance and taxation along the railway, which can be said to be ...... In a word, this time, your burden is not light. ”

Zhu Zhanji's face was a little more expressional, and he said with his eyebrows fluttering: "This ...... Uncle, rest assured. ”

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "In addition, when I went to Jiangxi, I have some things to ask you to do." ”

Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhang Anshi's smile at this time, and suddenly ...... A sense of familiarity was born again.

…………

Wen Lou.

Zhu Di was standing in front of the imperial table with his hands behind his back, and his eyes glanced at Zhang Anshi on the case from time to time.

After half a ring, he shook his head with a wry smile.

The people who were waiting on the side also laughed.

So Zhu Di glanced at him and said, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Yisha immediately straightened his face and said, "Slave maid...... Didn't laugh at anything? ”

Zhu Di didn't intend to let him go, so he continued: "Why are you laughing if you don't laugh? ”

Yisha immediately looked sad and said pitifully: "The slave maid saw His Majesty smiling, so she ......"

Zhu Di suddenly looked speechless, and said, "Do you think I'm laughing?" I'm smiling bitterly, I'm crying! ”

Yi Lost: "......"

Zhu Di shook his head and said: "The Ministry of Railways is allocated 50 million taels of silver every year, and the officials will be increased here, and the budget drafted is only afraid that it will be four or five million taels a year." It's a knock on the bone and sucking the marrow. ”

Saying this, Zhu Di felt more and more pain in his heart.

Yisha understood how enthusiastic Zhu Di was about silver, so he persuaded: "Your Majesty...... The money is gone, and it can be earned again. ”

Zhu Di smiled bitterly: "Where is the silver so easy to earn?" No matter how easy it is, it can't stand such flowers. ”

As he spoke, he sighed heavily, and then said helplessly: "But if you don't spend it, you can't do it, Zhang Qing is right about one thing, he must never suffer in the future, and nail the last nail on these people's coffins!" ”

When he said this, Zhu Di's eyes flashed with a touch of ruthlessness.

But he didn't dare to respond.

Zhu Di pursed his lips, a strange color flashed in his eyes, as if he had made a major decision, and then said with a wry smile: "So...... Yes, silver...... Just ......... I've saved all these years in vain, hey, nearly 60 million taels a year, and 600 million in 10 years, a hundred years...... In addition, I have to go to the West, and those brothers and nephews who have not made it possible to borrow silver from overseas......"

Yizha felt that he had regained his voice, so he said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and naturally everyone in the world depends on Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Di chattered: "I know the severity, I just feel sorry for the silver, and it was not easy to save it......"

He continued to shake his head, continuing to ache.

End.

The huge fleet of ships departed from the mouth of the Songjiang River and followed the monsoon along the route to Europe, which took eight months.

The reason why this time went so smoothly was because of ...... Zheng He had already opened up a shipping route, and the fleet did not stay for a long time along the way, but continued to sail after replenishing along the way.

But even so, this speed still made Zheng He very dissatisfied.

At this time, Zheng He was sitting in the cabin of one of the largest flagships.

He frowned and glanced at Qiu Song on the side with disgust.

Qiu Song didn't notice the thoughts of Gonggong Zheng, who had always been kind and pleasant, but said, "This is Europe? I'll look at Big Brother...... That's not all it says about Europe...... I thought it would take a year or two to reach the end of the earth, who knows...... It only took eight months. ”

He babbled, sometimes talking to himself.

Zheng He had to sigh weakly, he was really annoyed by the chatter along the way.

Who would have thought that General Hill, who was taciturn on land, would become a curious baby when he boarded the ship?

Maybe it's because ...... It's lonely at sea.

Zheng He had no choice but to say: "When the Mongolian lord Ogedai was in power, we heard that the European pope had sent envoys with letters to Helin ...... Oh, now there is almost no peace forest, and that place, under the conquest of my Ming official army, is almost in ruins. This place is in the depths of the grassland, and it took seven months for the Pope's messenger to arrive in Helin, so it still took us an extra month. This is because the fleet needs to wait for the monsoon, and secondly, it ...... Or a question of the route. Third, it's because we have too many people......"

Qiu Song said with a regretful face: "It's a pity that the eldest brother didn't come, the eldest brother only nests in the capital all day long, and has never seen any of the world, he hasn't seen such a black person, it's really scary, like black charcoal, Gonggong Zheng, you say...... These people with black charcoal, is gunpowder useful to them? ”

Zheng He: "......"

Zheng He felt a headache again.

Taking a deep breath hard, Zheng He said, "There is a harbor ahead, which can be temporarily replenished...... At that time, General Qiu can get off the boat and relax, otherwise he will be bored and panicked on the ship...... It's going to get sick. ”

Qiu Song shook his head and said, "No, I like to get on the boat, you see, how comfortable it is!" ”

Zheng He couldn't help but sigh again, but he didn't know what to say.

But at this time, someone came in a hurry, but it was Erdan and Donkey Ball who came.

After arriving in Europe not far away, Erdan asked the fleet for a clipper ship, and hurried to Rome to meet the Pope.

Now, he made a round trip, and hurriedly joined the fleet.

boarded the flagship, and the second egg happily entered the cabin and saluted.

"Gonggong Zheng, General Qiu, I have brought a letter from His Majesty the Pope."

Zheng He glanced at Qiu Song.

Qiu Song remained still, his face unchanged, obviously not very interested.

So Zheng He had no choice but to reach out and take the letter, but he looked up at Erdan and said, "What did your master say?" ”

"The Pope welcomes you and is willing, with some supplies, of course...... Most importantly, I hope you will keep your promises...... About those damned Venetians...... Of course, if you don't mind, the city-state of Genoa...... Also like the Venetians, blasphemy against the Pope...... As long as Daming can keep the agreement, then ...... His Majesty the Pope is willing to give him a generous gift. ”

At this time, Qiu Song became interested, raised his eyes, looked at Erdan and said, "Why is there another one...... What...... Genoa ......"

"They, like the Venetians, are a bunch of blasphemers, a bunch of unscrupulous merchants, who make a living by lending money...... Disdain for any morality......"

Erdan cursed, his face was disgusted with disgust that could not be concealed.

Qiu Song was a little reminiscing, staring at him with burning eyes and said, "Isn't what you said my eldest brother?" ”
