"That's it." Emperor Renxuan decided not to get along with himself: "Why did you choose the position of a master craftsman?" ”

Yes, the official position of recruiting talents was chosen by Gu Beichuan himself.

It stands to reason that his poems are very well done, and he can control the water.

Emperor Renxuan originally wanted him to be a Hanlin, or a national prince like Hu Yan.

Who would have thought that this kid would choose a master craftsman.

This position is not a sweet spot.

"Your Majesty, you can eat as many catties as you want, and Weichen is still very clear about this."

When Emperor Renxuan heard this, he was speechless.

After a long silence, his tone suddenly became serious: "I will send you a word, how can you not go through the turmoil when you are in the game." ”

When Gu Beichuan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was silent.

Yes, I have already entered this officialdom, even if I choose an idle position, can I really not be involved in it?

"Stand down, I'm tired."

"Wechen retired."

……

The next day, the Temple of Manna.

Wei Qing, Zhang Lang and the two princes are all there.

Emperor Renxuan sat on the dragon chair with a low voice: "The food raised this time can be co-ordinated?" ”

"Dasi Nong has been working all night, and he has made a whole, and there are enough two million catties of grain." Wei Qing took a step forward and said.

When Emperor Renxuan heard this, he nodded slightly.

With so much food, disaster relief is no longer a problem.

Perhaps there is still some surplus to serve as military rations for the Northern Expedition.

"Zhu Qing thinks that who should be sent to implement the water control policy written by the recruitment policy?"

"Hong Quan is from a family of water control, and he is delicate, steady, and has no shortage of relevant experience. Zhang Lang said.

Emperor Renxuan nodded, and then narrowed his eyes: "This flood not only caused a disaster, but also overturned all the ships of my great water dry division. ”

"A few days ago, Brother Wang of Zhenbei had already reported to the Shu Song, saying that there was no building boat and he could not train sailors."

"What do you think?"

This time, Wei Qing and Zhang Lang did not speak, but glanced at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Yuan respectively.

Emperor Renxuan's appeal for many years has been the Northern Expedition, and the horizontal stalk between Daqian and Beiyan is a thousand-zhang cliff and snow mountain, why do you need a sailor?

Naturally, it is used to guard against the western coolness.

If the sailors are not trained, the northern expedition of the great cadres will be carried out with the strength of the whole country, and the rear will inevitably be empty.

No matter how famous the King of Zhenbei is, it is impossible to block the entire Xiliang by relying on fame alone.

Besides, Xiliang is famous for the water war between buildings and boats.

If Daqian does not have a building boat, then on the Canglan River, Xiliang will undoubtedly take advantage of the time and place, and completely grasp the initiative, if you want to fight you, if you don't want to fight you, you can turn around and leave, and Daqian's army can only look at the river and be helpless.

Therefore, this building ship must be rebuilt.

His Majesty is obviously not asking this question, but ...... Where did the money come from?

"The matter of the building ship is related to border defense, and border defense is no trivial matter."

"If there is a shortage of craftsmen, recruit them, and if they lack money, ask the families to donate." The prince said in a calm tone.

When Wei Qing heard this, his heart was pang.

The prince's words... Is it to completely exclude the family faction from the princelings?

If he usually heard this, Wei Qing would naturally be happy.

But now, it is inevitable that there is a trace of worry.

After all... His Royal Highness King Yuan and the generals can be described as an iron bucket, but the princelings are constantly fighting among themselves.

It's really ......

But now that it's over, it's hard to say anything more.

"It's just that the officials of the family have just donated money and food for disaster relief, and then let them donate money and food for the construction of the building ship, I'm afraid they won't easily agree." Xiang Longyuan took a step forward and expressed his worries at the right time.

"In that case, why don't you let the nobles pay this money?" Xiang Baichuan's face was expressionless.

The corners of Xiang Longyuan's mouth twitched twice, and he hurriedly said: "The nobles are not like a family, except for their own fortunes on weekdays, they only have the rewards of the imperial court. ”

"If the reward is only enough to sustain expenses, how can it be justified in receiving the reward? Wouldn't it embarrass the court to let the nobles pay this money? ”

"Then let the families come out, I believe they are happy to share the worries of the country." Xiang Baichuan was still expressionless.

Seeing this, Xiang Longyuan fell silent and stopped talking.

Xiang Baichuan is willing to cut off his arm, and he is naturally happy to see it happen.

Emperor Renxuan bowed slightly: "Just do what the prince wants." ”

……

Qiandu West Street, Zhengde Fang, Gu Mansion.

In the huge courtyard, there are carts of silver taels parked one after another, as well as all kinds of jewels and jade, which set off the whole courtyard with jewelry.

Gu Beichuan looked at the accounts in his hand, and after pondering for a long time, he said, "It's all here?" ”

"Yes, all kinds of jewels and jade, agate jade, plus the silver tael itself, a total of about 1.2 million taels of silver!" Zheng Jian looked at the silver in the courtyard and swallowed.

He had always known that his master was making money, but he didn't expect that... To make so much money!

This is even the life of ordinary people... No, the wealth that you can't accumulate in nine lifetimes!

Gu Beichuan felt that it was okay, and even felt that it was a little less.

After all, this is the Qiandu where every inch of land is valuable!

The consumption level is much higher than that of Huainan, I don't know how much higher.

There is also a shopping mall shop on West Street in Nagandu, and the monthly rent is also a lot of income.

It's not surprising that you can make so much money.

What's more, it's only half of it.

There are also about 1.2 million taels of real estate, which cannot be converted.

"Okay, then cover it with a black cloth, call a few trustworthy guys, and let's enter the palace."

"In... Entering the palace? Zheng Jian was dumbfounded, he really couldn't imagine that he would be able to enter the palace one day.

……

Imperial Palace, Qiande Palace.

"Nope! The old minister dares to guarantee with his life, there is absolutely no extra money! ”

"Previously, His Majesty ordered the old minister to donate hundreds of thousands of catties of grain for disaster relief, which has exhausted the savings of the Yang family for decades, how can you get the money to build the building ship in this short period of time?"

"Your Majesty, even if you force the old minister to death, the Yang family won't be able to take out this money!"

In the Qiande Palace, Yang Huai no longer saw the ancient well without waves in the past, and cried with a handful of snot and tears.

"Your Majesty, the Yang family can't take out so much money, and my Duan family can't take it out." Duan Qingyan, the imperial historian, also cried, and Yang Huai's voices went up and down, as if they were in harmony with each other.

Emperor Renxuan looked at these people coldly and said, "The building ship is a sharp weapon of the country, and the construction cannot be delayed." ”

"Even if this money is borrowed from you by the imperial court, it will be repaid in full after the Northern Expedition."

When Yang Huai and the others heard this, they immediately scoffed.

After the Northern Expedition, it was returned, and it was a good thing to say.

But after the Northern Expedition, we were still here, not necessarily.

"Your Majesty, it's not a question of whether you can't pay it back, it's that the old minister really can't take it out!" Yang Huai and the others seemed to be iron-hearted, and they refused to obey.

For a while, the Qiande Hall fell into a deathly silence.

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from outside the hall: "Eh, let one, let one, let's give your majesty silver." ”
