After Zhu Zhanji saw it, he was greatly surprised.

Uncle's method is really terrifying.

A political envoy in Jiangxi Province has 63 stations, and the same is true for the construction of cities.

Although in this city, only a skeleton is built to provide some basic services such as reading, medicine, and guards, but how many medical halls need to be built, how many scribes are needed for pharmacies, how many inspection divisions are set up, how many roads are needed for markets, and how many bridges are needed.

Where is this to build a railway, it is clearly to reinvent the entire Jiangxi political envoys.

But it takes silver to build roads and build cities, and how much manpower and material resources are needed for these?

The drawings of the design even indicated the dwellings of the various inhabitants, as well as the location of warehouses and workshops, and even had a standard plan for the construction of ditches and roads.

There are so many of them......

Zhu Zhanji couldn't help frowning and said, "Uncle...... In this way, the emperor's grandfather will only be afraid of the 50 million taels of silver a year, and he will only be afraid of ......"

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "That's the problem!" 50 million taels...... I did the math, and it was a bit insufficient, but ...... When I first reported to His Majesty, I did miscalculate, and it was my fault. But now that the railways have been repaired, the cost is not possible, so you can add it. ”

Zhu Zhanji: "......"

Zhu Zhanji did not deal with Zhang Anshi calmly.

Fifty million taels has already made the emperor's grandfather feel pain, and this year's fifty million is almost equivalent to directly hollowing out Zhu Di's old book.

If the budget is increased, the imperial grandfather will have to go crazy.

So Zhu Zhanji said: "Uncle, this ...... Is it proper? ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Engaging in railways, it has always been like this, I don't believe you to ask, when Zhili repaired the railway, there was also a supplementary budget, after all, people can't be careful in advance, and everyone is not an immortal." This is ...... Of course, it is very inappropriate, so Uncle is worried that if His Majesty learns, he will have to jump to his feet. That's why I'm looking for you, our uncle and nephew, just to discuss a solution. ”

Zhu Zhanji: "......"

Zhu Zhanji felt that his uncle had come to set himself up again.

Zhang Anshi said: "You don't have to look at me like this all the time. ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "I understand, I finally know, why did my uncle teach me to come to this Jiangxi Railway Division, if it is someone else, please add silver, the emperor has to kill people, but if I go to ask for it, the emperor is helpless." ”

was exposed, Zhang Anshi couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and coughed: "It's not entirely like this, the main thing is to train you, what bad intentions can Uncle have?" ”

Zhu Zhanji drooped his head again and said: "What's more, as long as I open my mouth, even if the imperial grandfather is angry, he will obediently take out the silver." Because my dragon grandson is personally in charge of the Jiangxi Railway Division, everyone in the world is watching it, if it is difficult to continue because of the lack of budget, then it is necessary to teach the world to laugh, not to mention anything else, just for this face, the emperor smashed the pot and sold iron, and he also had to continue the silver. ”

Zhang Anshi sighed and said, "Zhanji, how can you think like this......"

Zhu Zhanji said: "Uncle...... How can you use me as a spear? ”

Zhang Anshi suddenly put on a look of grievance and said: "Zhanji, if you say such a thing, Uncle Zhenjiao's heart will be broken, you yourself touch your conscience, for so many years, since you were a child, is Uncle planning and thinking about everything?" This Jiangxi's railway, is the precedent of the world, as long as it is successful, it must go down in history, it is the foundation of the world, and it is also an immortal achievement, as long as it is done, how many soldiers and civilians should be grateful to Dade, this world must be turned upside down, then you say, Uncle taught you to do this, is there any selfish thoughts? ”

"As for Your Majesty's silver...... Your Majesty is the father of the monarch, who spends his silver and does not spend it? You're his own grandson, what's wrong with you spending a little money on him? Shouldn't it be? Zhanji, you have to keep in mind your own identity, you are the emperor and grandson, and you are the hope of all the Ming Dynasty. You should spend this money, but the only thing you need to care about is how to spend this money! Is it to bless the world, or is it a waste of ferocious desires? If you can be born by the common people, Uncle will be very happy, and the people of the world will also be overjoyed, isn't this the best of both worlds? ”

The more Zhang Anshi spoke, the more excited he became: "Now you blame Uncle Instead, how can Uncle Zhenjiao be embarrassed!" The affection between you and my uncle and nephew is so deep, if I say something that I shouldn't say, my uncle regards you as more precious than his own son. I just didn't expect it...... After a lot of good intentions, it became ill-intentioned, hey...... I really shouldn't be so confused, I'm good to be my King of Song, ignoring everything, isn't it good? Why bother to be so hot? ”

When Zhu Zhanji heard this, he chewed it carefully, and he felt reasonable.

For a while, he was ashamed, and said, "Uncle, don't be angry, I'm just talking nonsense." ”

The more Zhang Anshi spoke, the more he felt aggrieved, and said quietly: "This is what you say in your heart, you feel that your uncle is so heartless." Well, you don't have to explain, it's come to this, what can Uncle say? Simply, Uncle will go back to Beijing, and from then on, ignore everything, think about it behind closed doors, and live your life behind closed doors. ”

"Zhanji, when you grow up, you really have the appearance of a dragon and a tiger, and you will definitely be able to conquer the unification in the future. Uncle also knows that the heavenly family has always been ruthless, how can he care about his uncle and nephew? When you call yourself a lonely widow, you don't have to think of your uncle, who is a person who can distinguish between the important and the important, and naturally knows that the monarch and the minister have other reasons, so you just have to ...... I go to New Island and spend time with kangaroos. ”

When Zhu Zhanji heard this, he immediately panicked and hurriedly said, "I was really wrong, I don't dare anymore." Uncle......"

Zhang Anshi waved his hand.

Zhu Zhanji was in a hurry, his eyes were moist, and he seemed to think of the benefits of his uncle's treatment of him in the past, and when he saw Zhang Anshi's disillusioned appearance, he felt ashamed and even more frightened.

Seeing that Zhang Anshi was leaving, he grabbed Zhang Anshi's long sleeves and said, "Uncle, I really don't dare, it's really just my nonsense, Uncle is the best for me, but I am confused, and Uncle Teach Me to be sad." ”

Zhang Anshi's face softened slightly, and then said: "It's actually no wonder that you, who teaches uncle to like to meddle in things?" ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "It's my uncle who thinks about me everywhere, and my uncle is the best for me in the world." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "The plan of this new city, in my opinion, is still a long-term consideration." ”

Zhu Zhanji shook his head again and again and said: "Uncle is right, this is the best time to build a new city and completely break the local barriers, this is a major event, it cannot be regarded as child's play, if I miss such an opportunity, I am really ashamed of my ancestors and ancestors, I will write a book and ask the emperor for money." ”

Zhang Anshi hurriedly said: "Don't mention me in the song." ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "Oh. ”

…………

A few days later, Zhang Anshi returned to Beijing in a hurry.

He went back and forth for the sake of the railway.

This is too big, and once it succeeds, then the New Deal can be regarded as a complete final.

The people who have received blessings from it are innumerable.

The gentry and ministers who opposed the New Deal would lose their soil completely.

After returning to Beijing, Zhang Anshi didn't have time to go home, but he hurriedly entered the palace to meet him.

Zhu Di was overjoyed when he heard that Zhang Anshi had returned from Raozhou, and immediately summoned Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi came to Zhu Di and saluted, and Zhu Di said, "Give me a seat." ”

Zhang Anshi leaned over and sat down.

Zhu Di said with concern: "How is the emperor and grandson in Raozhou?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun has worked tirelessly......"

Zhu Di waved his hand: "Don't brag about it, just tell the truth." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, this is the recital of His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun, and the ministers will present it on his behalf." ”

Zhang Anshi took out the song.

Zhu Di listened, but only smiled: "You can just relay it directly, I don't have to read it." Now, my eyes are a little more flowery, not as good as before. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know what is said in this note, this is a note, how dare the minister go to see it?" ”

Only then did Zhu Di bow his head and give Yishiha a look.

also lost his understanding, went to pick up the song, and forwarded it to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di looked down for a while, his face was kind at first, but in an instant, his face became ugly.

"How can it be!" Zhu Di said angrily: "What kind of words is this?" ”

All the ministers couldn't help but be shocked, and Hu Guang said even more eagerly: "Your Majesty, didn't something happen to the emperor and grandson?" ”

Zhu Di ignored it, looked at the music in his hand for a while, and then looked up at Zhang Anshi and said, "What did my grandson say?" ”

"Ah......" Zhang Anshi said very innocently: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun didn't say anything, but just mentioned some old things to me, and said that for the sake of the people of the world and the foundation of the ancestors, he will definitely handle the affairs of this railway well and share the worries of His Majesty." The minister was very pleased, and the good student encouraged him, telling him that life in the world, only loyalty and filial piety, he could be born in the emperor's family, and now he has a heavy responsibility, but loyalty and filial piety can be both, as long as things are done well, not only for the monarch's father, but also for His Majesty to comfort......"

Zhu Di's face flickered.

Xie Jinren and the others clearly felt that Zhu Di's face was extremely ugly, but it seemed that he was trying to restrain something.

After a long time, Zhu Di let out a breath and said, "Qing will retire and Zhang Qing will stay." ”

Xie Jin and the others didn't know what to do, but they had to obediently leave.

At this time, only Zhu Di, Yisha and Zhang Anshi remained in the palace.

Zhu Di couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and scolded and said, "Why do you want silver?" Fifty million taels of silver, isn't it enough? My inner body is about to be empty, this is knocking on my bones, sucking my marrow! ”

Zhang Anshi said with a surprised face: "What, what kind of silver do you want?" ”

Zhu Di squinted at him: "Will you know?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Minister...... The minister doesn't know much. Your Majesty, you also know that His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun has grown up and has his own opinions. Although the minister is called his uncle, in fact, after all, he is a dragon grandson, and the minister is just a courtier, and there is a difference between the monarch and the minister, and there are some words that he does not dare to ask in detail. ”

"Yes, he's grown up, and his wings are stiff." Zhu Di said: "I almost wanted to be angry, but in front of Xie Qing and others, I finally endured it, after all, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, teach him to build the railway, how can he build the railway so expensive?" Nowadays, the development of the railway is a national policy, he is the Jiangxi Railway Division, but also set a precedent, I don't know how many people in the world, are watching his every move, if there is any mistake, I am afraid that I will be laughed at and generous. Hey......"

Zhu Di sighed, his face was gloomy, and he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, how much grain do you need in this song?" ”

At the mention of this, Zhu Di felt his anger rise suddenly, and said angrily: "I have to add another 20 million taels, not 20 million at a time, but 20 million per year...... All these internal funds I have worked so hard to save are given to him, but I am afraid that it is not enough, do you still have to teach me to borrow money? ”

Zhang Anshi listened, but said: "It's not impossible to borrow, it's a big deal, let the United Money Bank give a preferential interest rate." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Di's gaze fell on Zhang Anshi like a sword.

Zhang Anshi hurriedly coughed: "Your Majesty, according to the minister, this case cannot be opened, this is just to repair the railway, Zhanji is very obedient on weekdays, and today it has really become like this, otherwise, the minister will go to Raozhou again and plead on his majesty." ”

Zhu Di: "......"

Zhu Di lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something, he kept pacing back and forth, his face showed pain and embarrassment, as if he had been cut by someone.

After thinking hard for a long time, Zhu Di finally took a deep breath and said, "It's also lost." ”

Yisha knew that His Majesty was in a bad mood, so he stood silently aside, and only then did he lower his eyebrows and say, "The slave is here." ”

Zhu Di said: "Take a good inventory of the internal money and think of a way...... Raise 20 million, no ...... 189 million taels of silver, transferred to the Jiangxi Railway Division, the matter ...... Don't make a big fuss. ”

"Your Majesty, don't ......" Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, how can you condone ...... like this"

Zhu Di took a deep breath before he said: "I can suffer some poverty, but I can't suffer the child, no matter what, I can't make any jokes on the side of the Pope Sun." The silver is gone, and you can think of another way...... Zhanji is usually well-behaved, and it should be just because he didn't live within his means and make careful budgets for a while. Okay, that's it, don't mention it again. ”

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

Zhu Di said distressedly: "Now I can be regarded as clean, 70 million taels are thrown out this year, from now on, prepare to live a hard life." ”

Zhang Anshi smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for the fact that the minister had taken all the money from his family to Xinzhou in the past two years to develop this new continent, the minister really hoped to take out some silver immediately and share his worries for His Majesty......"

Zhu Di: "......"

Zhu Di was not in the mood to talk and chat at this time, so he asked Zhang Anshi to retire first.

Zhang Anshi had no choice but to leave.

After Zhang Anshi and Yisha Ha left, Zhu Di sat sullenly alone, looking preoccupied for a long time.

Finally, Yisha came back breathlessly, and said: "Your Majesty, the inner money has probably been calculated, if you take out 18 million taels, there will be some left, but it will be ...... in the next year."

Without waiting for him to continue, Zhu Di pressed his hand and sighed: "My mausoleum...... Find a way to see if you can save much, in addition, there is no need to continue to repair in Beiping, everything is simple......"

Yisha looked at Zhu Di's appearance, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "Your Majesty, this is ...... This ......"

Zhu Di sighed and said, "Silver...... It's better to leave it to your children and grandchildren, and it's hard to be bitter! ”

Yisha opened his mouth, and finally persuaded without saying a word, so he had to say, "Yes." ”

After thinking about it, he also said: "The slaves and maids here also find a way to save some money in the palace, the slaves and maids here in the palace, as well as the Dongchang outside the palace, have followed Your Majesty for so many years of good life, and it is time to share your Majesty's worries." ”

Zhu Di only bowed his head and snorted.

After a long time, Zhu Di suddenly said: "You say, Zhang Qing doesn't know about this?" Or is this Professor Zhang Qing's at all? I know Zhanji's temperament, and he won't hide anything from his uncle. ”

He was asked for a while.

Zhu Di suddenly smiled and said, "Don't think about this for the time being, I also know about Zhang Qing, this kid ......... Whoever is harmed, he will not dare to harm me, let alone harm Zhanji. Fuck it, this kid is very shrewd, and the silver was sent to Xinzhou early. ”

It's hard to answer, so you can only smile awkwardly.

…………

Zhang Anshi is now occasionally on duty in this Wenyuan Pavilion.

Because of the erratic whereabouts, every time it appears, it always makes people feel a little surprised.

Zhang Anshi is quite out of place in this Wenyuan Pavilion.

However, the people were very polite to Zhang Anshi.

The official position of the Sheren is not high, most of them are shadow positions, and their status is extremely disproportionate, to put it bluntly, they are actually equivalent to the scribes in other yamen, doing errands and miscellaneous things.

But this time, their salaries have also risen a lot, and Zhang Anshi even understands their hard work, thinking that the cabinet is reluctant to go to and from the court, and the hard work is high, but the official position is low, so he should be given a third-class salary as a care.

As a result, almost all of the cabinet members were ecstatic in private.

In addition, this cabinet has also begun to prepare for the construction, the construction of the building, just next door to the current Wenyuan Pavilion, the emperor decreed, set aside a full ten acres of land, the construction of various pavilion facilities, this palace, in fact, does not cost a few dollars, but for the bachelors and people who work here, it is a great thing.

Therefore, as soon as Zhang Anshi arrived, there were immediately people rushing to pay their respects.

When Zhang Anshi was still greeting people, someone slipped away and brought a bowl of hot tea to Zhang Anshi's duty room.

As for Xie Jinren and others, although they don't have a good personal relationship with Zhang Anshi, they are still thoughtful on the surface, and there are some things, as long as Zhang Anshi comes to Wenyuan Pavilion, most of them will discuss with Zhang Anshi, and they are quite respectful.

Especially Hu Guang, now he has a good impression of Zhang Anshi, and this good impression has reached its peak directly after he was invited to Qixia Medical College for a physical examination.
