Hu Guang suddenly felt that he was bored, so he was in a much lower mood.

But immediately, he was uplifted again, and the princes' reaction showed that they were jealous of themselves, which showed that Hu Mu's knighthood was really very proud.

He sighed in his heart, and his mood went up!

But seeing that Zhang Anshi was still in place, he said with a dry smile: "Is His Royal Highness King Song okay?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Yes, it's just not much, I think...... We can expand on and talk about the station. ”

Hu Guang originally just asked politely, but he didn't expect Zhang Anshi to talk about this again.

"What?" Hu Guang was stunned for a moment, and then said, "His Royal Highness didn't say it...... This post ......"

Zhang Anshi said: "Fang is the only one, that is a high-sounding word to others, but there are no outsiders here, only Hu Gong and this king, who want to confide their true feelings." ”

Hu Guang didn't expect that Zhang Anshi was really interested in this station, and this interest seemed to be very strong.

So he said: "Actually, this post station ...... It's getting lazy, hey...... In order to support the post station, the household department allocates money and grain every year, not a few, 140 prefectures, 193 prefectures, 1,138 counties, 493 guards, 359 schools. There are post stations everywhere, post houses, and tens of thousands of post guards are supported, not to mention, every post station needs to domesticate horses and supply forage. ”

Hu Guang was obviously very clear about the situation of the post station, and it could be said that he was handy, so he continued: "But the effect is ...... Well...... You have also seen that so much expenditure is just to deliver news and receive officials, but the cost is huge, and it can be said that the gains outweigh the losses. Do you know the amount of money and food in the household now...... Hey......"

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "What Gong Hu said is very true. ”

Hu Guang looked at Zhang Anshi in surprise and said, "What's wrong with Your Highness today?" ”

He always felt that something was wrong with Zhang Anshi today.

Zhang Anshi said: "Not much. ”

Hu Guang felt that Zhang Anshi's reaction was a little wrong, so he said: "It's rare that His Royal Highness can agree with the old man?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "In fact, I agree with many of Hu Gong's ideas, but I don't say it on weekdays. ”

These words made Hu Guang happy, so Hu Guang said: "Lu Yao knows that the horsepower has been seen for a long time, and His Royal Highness is still real." ”

At this time, Hu Guang felt a lot, compared with other princes, he suddenly found that Zhang Anshi was indeed more real than others.

Zhang Anshi said: "Where is it, but it's ......"

Hu Guang looked stunned, and couldn't help but answer: "But what? ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Since Duke Hu knows the shortcomings in this, why doesn't he report to His Majesty?" ”

"Ah...... This ......" Hu Guang was stunned again, and then his old face turned slightly red.

Isn't this nonsense? He Hu Guang knows a lot of shortcomings, can he report something? What if everyone really paid attention?

There are some things that cannot be said.

Zhang Anshi said: "With so much public money spent by the household every year, does Duke Hu just watch them disappear like this?" If it is this king, he must be righteous and righteous, and he must come up with a practical way to come out, Hu Gong is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the world is paying attention, Hu Gong's words and deeds can change many things. ”

Hu Guang thought for a while, then looked up at Zhang Anshi and said, "Will it cause something wrong?" Your Highness, this post ...... It's not completely without benefits, is it? ”

When Zhang Anshi suddenly proposed to lift the roof, Hu Guang was a little timid.

Zhang Anshi said: "One yard to one yard, in my opinion, it is better to think of a better way to cut off the ills, otherwise, wouldn't it seem that we are in a vegetarian diet?" ”

Hu Guang became more and more unconfident, and said hesitantly: "Or, I will discuss it first?" ”

Zhang Anshi smiled: "Of course you can, but I said something that shouldn't be said, Xia Gong presided over the household department, and he has always been disgusted with the new policy, and I am afraid that there are many people in this household department...... Profit from all the post stations, these things...... Has Hu Gong heard of it? ”

Hu Guang brushed his beard, he naturally understood what Zhang Anshi meant, so much household money and food were allocated, it was ugly to say, the geese plucked their feathers, as for how many of them were involved, it was really uncertain.

Hu Guangdao: "Don't worry, the old man is both listening and knowing." ”

Zhang Anshi said again: "If it is Xia Gong's side, he is also heartbroken about this...... What are Hu Gong's plans? ”

Hu Guang seemed to be forced into a corner by Zhang Anshi, and had to say: "Or ...... Just the last one? ”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "Hu Gong really deserves to be iron-clad." ”

Hu Guang shuddered when he heard the four words of iron bones, and suddenly felt uneasy.

He muttered for a long time, and suddenly said: "It won't come, it angered the saint, and Your Majesty took away the title of the Hu family, right?" ”

Zhang Anshi couldn't help but smile and comforted him: "Your Majesty is not such a small-bellied person. ”

"Oh." Hu Guang nodded, he began to think thoughtfully, silently deducing the consequences of this incident once it happened.

In fact, Hu Guang is not a person without responsibility, but ...... In his opinion, the matter of this post station is actually not so urgent.

Dynasties have been like this, haven't they always been like this?

What's more, where in the world can you leave the post station? Without this, how to rush and how to greet and deliver?

But now that Zhang Anshi is instigating him, Hu Guang thought about it, there are really a lot of drawbacks, so he thought that it would be better to make a fuss about this open source and reduce expenditure?

In the duty room on the other side.

Xie Jin was sitting upright in front of the table, holding a pen in his hand, concentrating on the ticket.

At that moment, a housekeeper knocked lightly on the door, and then crept in.

"Xie Gong...... Hu Gong...... I met with the head of the household. ”

"Oh?" Xie Jin glanced up at the sheren and nodded, revealing a somewhat meaningful look. Then he put down his pen and looked solemn, but said in an understated tone: "What are you talking about?" ”

"It looks like a post station."

"Post Station ......," Xie Jin muttered, then frowned thoughtfully.

He had long noticed that when he talked about arriving at the post station, Zhang Anshi's expression was a little unnatural.

After that, Zhang Anshi talked with Hu Guangpan for a while, and when he turned his head, Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department, came.

This can't help but make people think...... That His Royal Highness King Song, there must be something going on...... In Zhang Luo.

Xie Jin's heart rose with a strong curiosity, and he smiled and said: "Our Royal Highness the King of Song, we have always been unprofitable, of course, this is not derogatory, the world is bustling, isn't it all for profit?" There's nothing wrong with that. ”

He paused, thought about it seriously, and then said, "I know, you can go." ”

The sheren nodded, and tiptoed out again.

Xie Jin continued to sit upright, he closed his eyes gently, as if the old monk had been in a state of flux, and then, he remembered something, his eyes suddenly opened, glanced at the table, and then took a blank piece of paper from the side, picked up the pen on the white paper, and quickly wrote down a few words.

"Railroad."

"The station."

"Zhang Anshi."

These three words came into Xie Jin's eyes, Xie Jin's eyes were slightly open at this time, it seemed that at this moment, he expected something, and immediately became excited, but he seemed to have found something related, so he solemnly put pen to paper, and after this word, he wrote two words: "mail boat".

Everything in the world is connected, and now, everything has suddenly become clear.

The reason why Xie Jin thought of mail ships was that as far as he knew, there were mail ships all over the world...... is profitable.

It's just that in the Ming Dynasty, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, there is no need for a mail ship, but if there is a railway...... So...... This railway...... Isn't it a boat?

Think about it like this...... Xie Jin already knew everything, and immediately smiled, and he began to fall into the next thought.

………………

In fact, the household department is not too enthusiastic about the affairs of the post station.

In fact, this coincides with Hu Guang's thoughts.

However, Xia Yuanji, who is the secretary of the household department, is moved by this.

As we all know, Xia Gong has always been uninterested in the New Deal, and it is only because of ...... This new deal can indeed bring a lot of money and food income, so I pinched my nose and admitted it.

Xia Gong is like a woman who eats and sleeps in the west, delusionally thinking that he will sleep at night in the west of the village, and he hopes to eat at the house of a solid man in the east of the village during the day.

In general, he took the essence of the New Deal, but he was not very interested in the background of the New Deal, and even rejected it.

However, as an orthodox reader, what Xia Yuanji believes in has always been to open sources and reduce expenditures.

Hu Gongdu came to talk, and Xia Yuanji felt that if he didn't take this opportunity to greatly reduce the expenditure of the state treasury, he would naturally feel sorry for himself.

Therefore, Xia Yuanji agreed with Hu Guang's words very much.

It is even more painful to think that a large number of post stations cost a lot of money, and that they still need to support so many post guards, donkeys and horses every year.

Then it is better to make a fuss about open source, anyway, to let the treasury spend less, or even no money, which is very good.

Natsuhara began to egg.

After Hu Guang thought about it carefully, he played a note.

Who knows, this piece of music can be said to be a stone that stirs up a thousand waves, and the response is not small.

Among them, the Di newspaper was published on the front page.

Not only that, but the readers who were originally panicked because of the events in Jiangxi also reacted fiercely.

Scholars, when they hear that the court spends money, it is more uncomfortable than him spending his own money.

What's more, exposing the ills is what the reader is best at.

Moreover, at this time, he had the support of Hatsuharaji, the head of the household.

At the same time, a lot of gossip has also circulated, probably how much money a certain post spends every year to raise horses, but in fact, these horses ...... Nowhere to be seen.

Even the horses are eating empty wages.

Or, after three years of Yicheng, he actually saved tens of thousands of family fortunes.

This lot of news is both true and false, and Shilin is relishing it.

At this moment, the momentum suddenly rose, and soon after, it reached the heavens to listen.

Zhu Di looked at the music in front of him strangely, this music is really a lot, after Hu Guang played, followed by Xia Yuanji, and then Baiguan.

Looking at this mountain of songs, Zhu Di was a little confused, and couldn't help but say, "What...... They still want to cut the station? ”

Yisha was beside him, crying and mourning, and said, "The slave and maid don't know how to behave well...... Just ......"

Zhu Di couldn't help but say: "The leader Hu Guang, a few days ago, I still thought about him, but today I want to teach me a lesson and teach me a lesson." ”

Yi Lost: "......"

I can't take this anymore.

Of course, Zhu Di didn't want Yi Shiha to give any answer, he snorted and said: "If the imperial court is going to operate, can it still leave the post station?" It's ridiculous......"

But Yisha thought for a while and said, "Could it be that someone is behind it...... The plot is to take advantage of this...... Let's make a fuss......"

These words are like a stone falling on the surface of a calm lake. When Zhu Di heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he suddenly became vigilant.

Contacted by the previous ...... On the Raozhou side, Zhu Di ruthlessly disposed of a group of officials, which is hard to guarantee that someone will not take this opportunity to deliberately vent their anger, so as to give Zhu Di a disadvantage.

Zhu Di's eyes were gloomy, for the emperor, they have always been difficult to grasp one problem, that is, motives.

There are so many things happening in the world every day, and many of them must be promoted by people with intentions, and the motives of the people who promote these things are really things that need to be vigilant for the emperor in the deep palace.

It's like Zhu Di at this time, he is in a fog, he is in the dark, surrounded by many people, these people have made sounds, these voices are either reasonable, or there is no other plan.

What Zhu Di has to do is to screen them and use them as the basis for judgment.

But in the end, how easy it is, even if there is a factory guard, it may not be able to completely dispel this fog, all you can do is to grasp more clues.

Zhu Di closed his eyes and took a deep breath, he wanted to find clues from the song.

At this moment, a eunuch hurriedly came and saluted, "Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Di's mood at this time was obviously a little irritable, and he couldn't help but blush: "Say." ”

The eunuch saw that His Majesty was in a bad mood, and he was also a little afraid, but he still trembled and said, "There is His Royal Highness King Song...... Tantric ......"

After hearing this, Zhu Di became suspicious, and said in his mouth: "Take it." ”

A recital report arrived in Zhu Di's hand, Zhu Di opened it, only took a closer look, and then revealed a deeper suspicion.

However, he remained silent after all, and closed the music, but his eyes fell on the mountains of music on the case, and immediately said: "Let's discuss it tomorrow." ”

…………

At dawn the next day, the sky was also bright.

The ministers above the fifth rank entered the palace and began to discuss the court as usual.

What is being discussed today is precisely the most fashionable hot spot at the moment, involving Hu Guang and Hubu, and the post station that is the attention of the scholars.

In fact, many ministers, before coming to the meeting, had a clear mind.

The post station can't be without, isn't it a joke to retrench?

can be changed from another angle, now this matter is so big, so many readers pay attention to it, and there is also a lot of discussion about it in the market, at this time...... Although he knew that it was impossible to abolish it, if anyone wanted to abolish it, he was afraid that the first one in the palace would not agree.

It's easy to know the bottom line in the palace.

Anyway, Emperor Lao Tzu will not agree, so he simply ...... Just make a show and show the scholars how strong they are.

To be an official in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to being proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, you also need to know how to meet the sources left and right, and at the same time, you must also have the cultivation of a performing artist.

After all, no one wants to leave a stench for 10,000 years, and the pen is in the hands of scholars.

After this kind of court discussion, which will not have a result after it is opened, it is actually a stage!

Since this matter will not affect the real national policy, then simply ...... It's no problem to shoot a dozen guns yourself.

As a result, the officials gave Zhang Anshi a vivid lesson.

Zhang Anshi, as a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, sat beside Hu Guang.

Immediately, the atmosphere suddenly began to heat up.

The first to stand up was a capital imperial history, which beat his chest and stumbled, and then began to scold the post station for spending public money every year, and then, he came up with a case of going to the Fujian post station.

"Just a Pingtan station, 700 taels of money per year, 12,000 stones of grain, in addition, there are forage and other expenses, what is the number of posts and pawns that can be stored? Quadruple ...... Princes...... There are only four people, and there are thirty-seven people on the roster, but there are redundant people...... None of ......"

Du Yushi said proudly, and cried as he spoke.

Someone said: "This Pingtan Station is quite good, and the Wendeng Station in Shandong is even more ridiculous......

Everyone was gossiping and denounced one by one.

Seeing this, Hu Guang was very pleased, and whispered to Zhang Anshi: "Your Highness...... I don't know if I don't check this, but I ...... Is...... Fortunately, the princes are still thinking about the country, you look at them, one by one, they are full of righteous indignation......"

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "When a person denounces others for being greedy, it may not be that he is clean, but it is very likely that he is only clean by scolding others." ”

Hu Guang was anxious and wanted to say something, but at this time, the atmosphere was at this time, and it was not good for him to argue with Zhang Anshi, so he simply took a deep breath and sat upright.

This scolding continued until noon.

Everyone started to get hungry.

Just when everyone was thinking about it, hurry up and go back to cooking after the court meeting.

Suddenly, a eunuch chanted, "Your Majesty has arrived." ”

Everyone was in high spirits and hurriedly took over.

Zhu Dixin walked into the hall, immediately ascended to the seat, looked left and right, and said, "How is the discussion?" ”

Hu Guang hurriedly got up, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the hundred officials are dissatisfied with the post station, and they all think that it should be ......."

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said, "What should it be?" ”

"...... should be abolished"

Zhu Di looked around and said lightly: "Really?" ”

No one objected to the hundred officials, although everyone said angry words, but it didn't matter, anyway, the position was placed, and everyone was not with the crime, but the question was, did the court dare to abolish it?

Zhu Di sighed: "I didn't expect that in just a few years, the rule of officials has been corrupted to such a point, it seems that ...... It is not possible to re-enforce the canon, so if this is the case, then according to what the secretary said, it will be abolished! ”

“……”

The temple suddenly became audible of falling pins.

People began to look at each other in panic, looking at each other.

It's not ...... Are you kidding?

Did Your Majesty take the wrong medicine?

This is not what they imagined!
