Chapter Eighty-Four: The Reclamation Crisis
Jin Yiwei?
Song Huizong frowned.
felt that it was not appropriate for Jin Yiwei to be in charge of this matter, but after thinking of the relationship between Jiang Chen and Yang Jian, his brows immediately stretched again.
nodded appreciatively: "Liangchen is not only loyal and keeps his promises, but also knows how to repay his kindness, which is good!" In this case, then I will be an adult, and let you and Yang Daban's Jinyiwei take care of this matter together. ”
"Thank you, Master! Disciple respects you, I did it, you are free! ”
Jiang Chen's face was full of flattery, and he touched the cup with Song Huizong.
"Huh. Okay, I'm done too! ”
Song Huizong smiled and drank it all.
After Jiang Chen filled him up again, Song Huizong spoke again:
"Today, when I and Cai Xiang and others visited the Longde Palace, Cai Xiang and others said that the national coins are now as many as 50 million yuan (1,000 wen is one yuan), and it is enough to enjoy and rich enough to prepare gifts, and it is recommended that I expand the palace and build a large number of reclamation mountains.
I thought that with you as a good apprentice, the treasury would be safe, so I decided to collect the world's strange stones and gather them in Kenyue according to their performance, and build a god statue for me, King Yun and others! What do you think about this? ”
After that, Song Huizong looked at Jiang Chen with expectant eyes.
He didn't want to ask Jiang Chen's opinion, but he was worried that this move would cost the people and money and damage the so-called merit points, and hoped that Jiang Chen could give him a reassuring answer.
Jiang Chen naturally understood what Song Huizong meant, and he also wanted to tell Song Huizong that if he collected the strange stones in the world, it would arouse public resentment, forcing Fang La and others to revolt one after another, and exhaust the last trace of popular support and vitality in the Northern Song Dynasty.
But his current dangerous situation did not dare to provoke Song Huizong's displeasure!
Moreover, he praised King Yun on the front foot as Wenqu Xingjun, and Cai Jing and others on the back foot suggested that Song Huizong set up a statue for King Yun Zhao Kai, what is this for?
Could it be that Cai Jing and the others want to cater to Song Huizong's wishes and establish a virtuous person?
No way!
That's not in their interest!
They didn't want to support King Yun at all, but to let the world know that it was my words that made Song Huizong move Yi Chu's thoughts!
Not only do I have to pull the fledgling King Yun to the table to 'beat' him, but I also have to put the black cauldron on my head.
If something goes wrong, or it damages Song Huizong's 'Holy Ming', then I'm going to die!"
After thinking about this, Jiang Chen immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Decided to stop Song Huizong's stupid behavior of pit both his son and his disciple no matter what!
So, he said to Song Huizong: "Dare to ask the master of the official family, what kind of stone do you think is the most exquisite and worthy of your identity in this world?" ”
"Naturally, it's Taihu Stone!"
Song Huizong said, seeing Jiang Chen's disdainful expression, he couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't it?" ”
Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile and said: "No matter how good the Taihu Stone is, it's just a vulgar thing, if you collect those vulgar things and come back to the west, aren't you afraid that the immortals in the heavenly court will laugh when they see it?" ”
This......
Song Huizong frowned, and said unhappily: "I don't use Taihu Stone, so what do I use to build Kenyue?" ”
Can't you build it if you don't build it?
Jiang Chen's eggs hurt for a while, and in desperation, he had to take out his killer weapon and say:
"Official, if there is a Kenyue covered with Taihu Lake stones and a glazed pagoda that stores the glazed statues of you and all the nobles in the palace, which one will you choose?"
"Glass statue?
Tongtian glazed tower?
Beloved, are you serious? If you can do it, I won't be rare anymore! ”
Song Huizong was so excited that he grabbed Jiang Chen's arm and stared at him with a glint in his eyes.
"Disciples have always been true to their word, and they must practice what they say!"
Jiang Chen nodded confidently, and then gently persuaded Song Huizong: "The establishment of Kenyue not only costs the people and money, but is also detrimental to the merits of the official family. The construction of long-distance transportation is even more time-consuming, and I am afraid that it will not be completed in three or five years.
If the official master is willing to give the disciple a year, the disciple will have the confidence to study the secret method of turning sand into gold, not to mention creating a glass statue for you, or to create a glass palace! ”
"A year?
Good! I promised you! ”
Song Huizong's eyes were full of excitement and expectation, and he said to Jiang Chen very boldly: "Liangchen, what do you need to study the method of turning stone into gold?" But it doesn't hurt to talk about it, you will be satisfied with being a teacher! ”
"There is no urgency!
After the disciple has studied the eyebrows, he will naturally ask the official master for what he needs. ”
Jiang Chen said, showing a worried expression to Song Huizong and said, "What the disciple is worried about now is a major matter that will affect your return to Heavenly Court!" ”
"What's the big deal?"
Song Huizong asked nervously, he hoped to 'go to heaven' as soon as possible rather than pleasure.
Jiang Chen replied: "As the saying goes, the people take food as the sky!" But after you ascended the throne, Master, the price of grain has risen from 5 wen per liter to 17 wen per liter today, which shows that someone is undermining your merits and people's hearts! ”
"Huh? Are you talking about Cai Xiang? ”
Song Huizong frowned and looked at Jiang Chen with displeasure in his eyes.
He naturally knew that the rise in prices was caused by Cai Jing's new policy measures such as making ten big money, but Cai Jing's actions were all for him and the treasury, and in his eyes there was no merit.
"The disciple is not talking about the great minister, but some unscrupulous businessmen with ulterior motives!
Although Jiaozi and Chongning's big money will lead to a rise in prices, in terms of their amount, doubling the price of grain is already the limit.
But the price of grain has risen by more than three times, and there must be traitors taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble! ”
Jiang Chen shook his head, and didn't dare to push the responsibility to Cai Jing, because that would be no different from pushing the responsibility to Song Huizong, it was purely an act of looking for death.
So after he defended Cai Jing, he lowered his voice and said: "Master, the disciple has a way, which can not only find out those profiteers with ulterior motives, and let Jinyiwei raid their homes to fill the treasury, but also make a profit and ease the price of grain......"
Well?
When Song Huizong heard this, he immediately became interested.
After listening carefully and pondering it again, he didn't find anything wrong, so he nodded and said, "Okay!" I will let Yang Daban fully cooperate with you in this matter, you just have to let it go! ”
"Thank you Master for your trust, and please don't disclose it to a third party before the matter is completed, so as not to fall short!"
Jiang Chen smiled, knowing that the opportunity to completely eradicate Wang Zhongyu had come.
"It's nature!"
After listening to Jiang Chen's analysis, Song Huizong also felt that the rise in food prices to this extent was a bit exaggerated, and he really wanted to see who were the traitors behind him who dared to make ghosts and destroy his reputation and merits.
So, he wanted to give Jiang Chen more rights on the spot.
However, Jiang Chen knows that the foundation is unstable now, and the so-called rights are not only unstable, but also easy to be victimized by others, and if he is not careful, he will be calculated by Cai Jing.
Therefore, after he refused, he directly asked for benefits for Shopkeeper Pan and Liu Feng.
This made Song Huizong value him more and more.
Xindao: This disciple is so grateful to repay his kindness, then he will definitely be more loyal to me, the master, and he can use it in the future.
With this thought, Song Huizong left the Teaching Workshop Division comfortably under Jiang Chen's congratulations.
