The more Zhu Houzhao thought about this, the more he felt that it was not a taste, what does it mean that he can't give birth to a son and come to you?

So he looked at him with scrutinizing eyes.

Xia Yuan frowned and said, "What do you mean by looking at me like this?" Think I'm like a thief? Am I the kind of casual person? ”

Seeing that his demeanor and tone were so reasonable, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "Then what do you mean by saying that?" ”

"I like to read medical books, and I can't let go of the papers, maybe I can help you."

"Isn't it a lie that you like to read medical books?"

Zhu Houzhao's brows furrowed, this guy likes to read medical books all day long, and he can't release the book with his mouth closed, but in fact, he reads a fart medical book.

"And even if you really read any medical books, it's not very suitable, you are a man, how can you show this disease to women?"

Xia Yuan's expression was indescribable, and the words were all said for this part, this kid still felt that it was the palace maid's problem.

It's a pity that this matter really can't be said clearly, it involves the minimum dignity and bottom line of men.

"Your Highness will ponder and ponder by himself, and the minister will leave first."

“.”

Zhu Hou looked at his back, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, wondering what?

Suddenly, his body shook, could it?

As soon as a terrible thought flashed through his mind, he threw it directly out of the clouds, bah, how could there be a problem with this palace.

Fart!

In fact, according to Xia Yuan's guess, Prince Xiao Zhu has a problem, but not completely.

He just doesn't have any children, but it's definitely not impotent, or impotent.

Even he doesn't have to be childless.

It is recorded in the history books that during the Zhengde period, there was such an incident - Zhu Houzhao brought back a pregnant woman from the people, and claimed that this belly was pregnant with his flesh and bones.

But none of the ministers believed it, and they made up their minds that this was a wild seed.

All the emperors are fortunate to be women, that is to be recorded in the living notes, when they went to bed, how long they tossed, and how they were called

The last one is crossed out, and there is no need to record this. In short, the emperor has a record of opening a house.

And this pregnant woman brought back from the folk naturally has no record of living in the palace, so it is a wild species.

Even if it is biological, it is not in accordance with the law, and it is still a wild species.

So, does Zhu Houzhao have the ability to have children?

Xia Yuan felt that there was a high probability, but the ability was not high, and it might be congenital asthenospermia.

It's also possible that the cow's thing is too long, and this thing also affects fertility.

If it is the former, then giving birth to a son can only depend on luck. But if it's the latter, it's easy, just go straight to a ring cut.

I'll have to look for a look.

——

By the next day, the court meeting was still discussing the construction of roads, and the courtiers were still opposed.

But in this wave of opposition, the three elders did not say a word, as if they were dumb.

The wind changed inexplicably, and many courtiers could not understand it, but it did not affect their doubts.

If you set a rank for officials in the world, those who are in the temple are definitely the ones with the highest rank, and their IQs are at least above the horizontal line.

Seeing that the three ministers were silent, many courtiers who were about to oppose also shut up.

Last time, these three people stood up against it clearly, and they became silent overnight.

There's an inside story here.

What a dirty deal is not guaranteed.

So many ministers, although they couldn't understand it, still shut up one after another, ready to wait and see.

As more and more people remained silent, the court gradually became quiet from noisy, and then at a certain moment, it suddenly became silent.

It's like a big thriller documentary, with a human face on the glass window of the back door of the classroom.

The expression on Emperor Hongzhi's face has always been gentle, "Why, all of you suddenly didn't say a word, but you agreed to this road construction?" ”

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the ministers, and finally looked at the three ministers headed by Liu Jian. Although the rest of the hundred officials on the field were still silent, they all looked at the three pavilion elders in unison.

At this time, Liu Jian finally stood up slowly, first saluted Emperor Hongzhi, and then spoke: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the pros and cons of this road construction are all taken into account, and the advantages are needless to say. And this disadvantage is nothing more than excessive spending, and it will be difficult to maintain the national strength, and even destabilize the society. ”

"After yesterday's next court, the old minister has been thinking about this matter, and then asked about Xia Zhan, according to what he said, the cost of building a mile road should be about 100 taels, and the lapis lazuli old minister also looked at it, if you can really lay this lapis lazuli road all over the world, it should be the merit in the community, and the merit will be passed on for thousands of years."

“.”

Hearing this, the ministers had already taken their eyes back, and there was no need to wait and see, the direction of the wind had indeed changed.

However, it only costs more than 100 taels of silver to build a mile of road, which is not much.

Extending this question, many people have been groaning in their own minds, so that they have become a little absent-minded, until Liu Jian said that seventy percent of the proceeds should be returned to the treasury, and everyone was shocked.

What did you just hear?

"And Xia Zhan also talked a lot to the old minister, according to what he said, if this lapis lazuli can be done in the future, the treasury may be able to increase the annual income of tens of millions of taels per year."

Hearing this amount, the courtiers immediately became in an uproar, one of which was naturally due to this unbelievable amount, after all, the annual tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty was only 10 million taels.

The second is that if you can really earn tens of millions of taels of silver every year, but this person surnamed Xia was given to the treasury like this, is this person okay?

Emperor Hongzhi's expression changed slightly, and then returned to normal, and he sighed in his heart, these three ministers in the court and the central government let this kid deceive him miserably.

It takes a few pennies to earn a stone, and tens of millions of taels, and thousands of taels are enough to choke.

"The old minister doesn't know much about this business, but Xia Zhan is very conclusive, although the old minister is still worried in his heart, he also hopes that this matter will come true."

Liu Jian said that he did not leak, if he can't earn tens of millions of taels in the future, don't look for the old man, this is what the surnamed Xia said.

And the old man was not crushed by his IQ, and then he was fooled stupidly, in fact, the old man = not believed, just out of loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, so he has a hope.

If Xia Zhan's words are true, the old minister thinks that this road repair may be implemented. But this is a major event of the country, we have to be cautious, the old minister felt that it should be slowed down, and first implemented in Beijing and Beizhili to see the results. ”

Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a moment, "Liu Qingjia's words are a theory of seeking the country, so it was first implemented in Beizhili, and then pushed to the provinces of the world. ”

As soon as the words fell, he looked at the rest of the ministers, "Do you have any objections?" ”

At this point, the ministers naturally knelt down and shouted long live.

In this way, the matter is settled.

Emperor Hongzhi continued: "This road construction is a new national policy, and it involves the country, no less than the Cao Canal Road.

Considering the initial decision of this matter, the official rank should not be too high, so it will be set at the fourth grade, who do you think can be elected? ”

Hearing this, the officials of the Ministry of Industry immediately looked at it, and the rest of the officials were already ready to move, you know, but anyone who has served as the governor of Caoyun will have a three-thirds chance of entering the cabinet.

And this land governor, although the official rank is lower, but

At this moment, Liu Jian spoke up: "Your Majesty, the old minister recommended Xia Zhan, and this matter of building the road was proposed by him, and the old minister thought that no one was more suitable than him." ”

"Liu Qingjia's words are reasonable." Emperor Hongzhi pretended to be silent for two seconds, and then directly decided, "Then Xia Qing's family will also be the governor of this land route." ”
