Zhu Jianji knew that some people would definitely think so.

This is not to say that Dong Fang is a traitor.

In fact, the current court team was built by him and his father Zhu Qiyu, and there are no traitors in the absolute sense, only differences in political positions.

Or it is the conflict of interests caused by the cake of the land to be moved in the future.

So Dong Fang came out to oppose it, and Zhu Jianji was not surprised.

In his psychological expectations, he was even mentally prepared for all the Jiuqing people to oppose except for Hang Min, Yu Qian, and Bai Gui, so he was not in a hurry to deal with it at this moment.

Look.

Let's see who else will object.

Lao Tzu cleaned up the nest, lest anyone be unconvinced when they went back.

Lu Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said slowly: "Dong Shangshu is serious, Your Majesty's Guanting Reservoir is a total cost of less than 20 million taels, and repairing the reservoir is a matter of merit in the present and benefiting the future, how can it be regarded as a waste of money for the people and money, and it only took a few hundred taels on this huge bright artifact under the dam, although these millions of taels are enough to ensure the grain and grass expenses of the 100,000 Jin Ge Group Army for more than a year, but I think that this move is by no means a good achievement of Your Majesty, after all, if I become a city that never sleeps in the world, In order to be more solid, the immortal demeanor of the Heavenly Empire, and my Majesty Emperor Guang'an of the Ming Dynasty can be famous in history! ”

Zhu Jianji looked at these two Shangshu silently.

Good guys, it's done.

When Dong Fang began to speak, Zhu Jianji thought that he was whitewashing himself, but the latter words began to be sarcastic, obviously cooperating with Dong Fang and the two of them.

One is black-faced and the other is white-faced.

The point is that they don't hide it yet.

When Lu Yu sang with a white face, he didn't forget to confine himself, and he was also bold.

Still no squeak.

Wait.

It's not that you have to wipe out all the opposing courtiers, because it's hard to say that the opposing courtiers are wrong in this matter, and after standing on their side and learning decades of traditional culture, they are likely to just not be able to accept this new thing.

There is also the fact that the Jiuqing are unwilling to lose their noble status of enjoying the light artifact exclusively with the Son of Heaven.

Dong Fang and Lu Yu deserve to be Jiuqing, after saying that, as soon as they saw that Zhu Jianji didn't squeak, the two of them knew in their hearts, His Majesty must have the means to wait behind, so the two of them didn't make up the knife.

Leave the matter of mending the knife to someone else.

After all, as a courtier, even if he is a person who rests on his laurels, he will not ignore the prosperous era created by His Majesty Emperor Guang'an, although there are many new things in this prosperous world that traditional people cannot accept, but it is an indisputable fact that the country is strong.

】

Therefore, if you can, you don't want to let Emperor Guang'an not come to power.

And they asked themselves - Your Majesty is so civil and martial arts, even if it is a waste of millions of taels of arrogance and lasciviousness, no one thinks that the problem is very big, such as the national draft, and all the civil and military officials raised their hands in favor of it.

The other Jiuqing looked at it and felt that the situation was not right.

Among Jiuqing, Hang Min is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, familiar with these projects, and has followed Zhu Jianji for the longest time, and is the most receptive to new things, Bai Gui is Zhu Jianji's father-in-law, and his two grandsons have a toy called a bicycle, which will be promoted throughout the country in the future, and Zhu Jianji established a permanent bicycle factory, Bai Gui is also like a stock, so Bai Gui can also accept new things.

The rest of Jiuqing is also very acceptable.

After all, this hydroelectric power station is not particularly novel, there is one outside the moat of the imperial city, and there is also a bright artifact of manpower generation on Jiuqing's mansion.

But then again, this artifact of light is really useless except for turning night into day.

Making Gyeonggi into a city that never sleeps is indeed a face-saving project.

Waste of money.

But Emperor Guang'an worked so hard and made great achievements, and the rest of Jiuqing didn't put it forward directly like Dong Fang and Lu Yu, so no one squeaked.

Yu Qian is so old and spicy.

Seeing that the situation is not right, if everyone does not squeak and express their position, Your Majesty will have to clean up Dong Fang and Lu Yu, the two great scholars, and these two are actually capable ministers!

coughed and said, "Dare to ask President Lu, this huge equipment for power generation, well, plus the equipment installed in the future, does the daily operation also need to consume a lot of money?" ”

Lu Chunjing said respectfully: "Back to Shaobao, after the whole unit is installed, the daily operation, plus the daily consumption of routine soldier protection, as well as many expenses in equipment maintenance and labor, will probably cost tens of thousands of taels of silver a month." ”

Yu Qian nodded, "It's not much." ”

His Majesty's face-saving project costs tens of thousands of taels a month, and the household treasury can afford it.

He also asked, "Does the power line in Gyeonggi also cost money to maintain every month, and this cost is not small, right?" ”

Lu Chunjing said: "It's all a small amount of money, and the big head still lays lines for the whole city, after all, you have to go to every corner of the whole city of Gyeonggi, there are public lighting on every long street, and you have to make every household go into the house, so this consumption is huge." ”

Yu Qian sighed secretly.

Why didn't Lu Chunjing understand what he meant, at this time, you have to whitewash it for Your Majesty, it should be said that it won't cost a few dollars, so that Your Majesty can step down.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chunjing said with a smile: "Yu Shaobao, in fact, this money is not a matter, it can only be regarded as the cost of the initial investment, I have checked with Your Majesty, as long as it is put into operation, at the latest ten years, the Royal Power Company can use the profit to recover the cost, ten years later, it is pure profit, this is still Your Majesty's deliberate benefit to the people, will put the electricity price in a very low range, if it is priced according to the market price, in fact, it will be able to return to the cost in three or five years." ”

The Jiuqing were instantly stunned.

What else does it cost?

Can the common people accept it?

Yu Qian couldn't help but look at Zhu Jianji worriedly, "Your Majesty, this light artifact that can make the whole city a city that never sleeps, and it doesn't have any other special effects, will the people be willing to spend a sum of money for it for a long time?" ”

Zhu Jianji still wants to give Yu Qian face, and said with a smile: "Yu Shaobao doesn't know, electricity is not only lighting, the current progress of the motor project of the Royal Power Company has been completed about seventy percent, at the latest in half a year, the simplest motor can be born, and then all walks of life will appear with electric driven machines, such as the Donggong Military Research Institute and the National Military Research Institute are now widely used various machine tools, when the time comes, you can switch to electric drive, at the same time, there will be a lot of people's livelihood machinery and equipment have been developed, For example, electrically driven carriages, electric fans that can dissipate heat, etc., the emergence of electricity is not only lighting, but a leap forward in the entire industry and people's livelihood. ”

He also said to Qian: "As for whether the city that never sleeps in Gyeonggi is a face-saving project that costs the people and money, I will say one sentence: the construction of the Guanting Reservoir is funded by the Ministry of Industry, and the power station under the Guanting Reservoir is funded by the Royal Power Company itself, and the power transmission from the Guanting to Gyeonggi and the erection of power lines in the whole city of Gyeonggi are all undertaken by the Royal Power Company itself, and it does not cost the treasury a penny. So even if this is a face-saving project, I will pay out of my own pocket, and I will spend my own money to earn face for myself and Daming, and it is the turn of outsiders to make irresponsible remarks?! They're a piece of! ”

After speaking, he glanced at Dong Fang and Lu Yu coldly.

The two of them looked embarrassed.

was slapped in the face by His Majesty in public, as scholars, the two of them still couldn't hang up on their faces.
