Ezhou?

Zhu Tianzheng nodded, "It's been more than two months, and there should be some news over there, how about it?" ”

Father-in-law Cao was a little stumbling.

Zhu Tianzheng's face sank, "If you have something to say, what does it look like." ”

Gonggong Cao didn't dare to slack off, so he had to say: "Back to Your Majesty, the situation may not be good." ”

“……”

Yang Guozhong was originally busy in the household department.

Suddenly, I received a summons.

When he arrived at the imperial study, Zhu Tianzheng's face was gloomy, extremely ugly.

"I ask you, Ezhou New Town, how many taels of silver have been allocated?"

Yang Guozhong didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, so far, the silver taels allocated have exceeded 10 million taels. ”

Zhu Tianzheng snorted: "It's only been less than three months, why did you use so much silver?" ”

Yang Guozhong said: "Your Majesty, the household department is only in charge of the Xincheng silver treasury, and the specific use is decided by the second prince and the third prince, and the use and quantity of each silver are recorded in the household department. ”

"As for why so much was used, the minister remembered that the two biggest ones were to compensate the people for the land and build the palace."

Zhu Tianzheng asked: "Compensate the people for land?" ”

"Yes!"

Yang Guozhong said, "The planning of the new city requires a large area of land, and it is easy to say that it belongs to the imperial court, but many of it belongs to the local squires and farmers. ”

Zhu Tianzheng asked, "How did the fourth child deal with it before?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister specially asked the Four Highnesses, the principle of the Four Highnesses is that if you can not expropriate, you will not requisition, and if you can requisition the mountainous land, you will not requisition the farmland, once it is expropriated, the compensation must be in place, and the people must be satisfied with the exchange of land for land or with silver."

"Ezhou is the land of fish and rice, the minister has understood, the site of the new city will requisition a large area of farmland, the second prince and the third prince let the household department allocate the relevant funds, and the minister does not dare to delay the progress of the new city."

Zhu Tianzheng's face became more and more gloomy, "So, you have already allocated all the silver?" ”

Yang Guozhong said: "Exactly! ”

But in his heart, he sneered.

Because he had already received the news that the money had not been sent to the people at all, perhaps not completely, and a large part of it was misappropriated by them.

It's not about corruption, it's about speeding up the process and building countless projects at the same time.

For them, the whole world belongs to their old Zhu family, and they still have to give money to requisition a little land, and is there any royal law?

If it weren't for Lin Bai's experience, they wouldn't even give it symbolic.

After all, the brothers are here to develop Ezhou and contribute to Ezhou, and you Diao people still want to compensate?

Wouldn't it be better to save this money and make the new city bigger.

After all, it is the prince.

According to their concept, there is actually nothing wrong with it, even Qin Zhengqing and Fan Renli may not feel that there is anything wrong, and it is enough to symbolically give some.

A group of Diao people can't make any big waves at all, and it is enough to suppress the news.

In fact, the news did go down.

It's been a while since that.

Yang Guozhong had already learned that he wanted to report it several times, but Yan Lao Fox said that as soon as the flood came, the sluice gate would be discharged, so it would be full of water first.

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong?"

Yang Guozhong asked deliberately, and he was very happy in his heart.

Of course he knew something was wrong.

Because the two losers spread the stall too big, and because of the compensation, the people were dissatisfied, although these people could not do anything, but the matter spread.

This kind of behavior discouraged some originally excited businessmen.

As a result, the two losers held another bidding meeting in Ezhou, but there were very few businessmen who bid.

Not only did there be no new businessmen joining, but many of those businessmen who had previously bid began to delay the construction period for various reasons, wanting to see the situation first, because they were afraid that they would invest too much and lose their money.

There are even people who want the two losers to buy back the contracts in their hands.

And the two losers did not disappoint Yang Guozhong.

Another wave of assists.

They felt that the new city was so magnificent, how could there be no palace, and in the future, when the construction of the new city was completed, the father and emperor would personally come to inspect it, and there would be a place to live, so the two of them decided to build a palace.

After all, it was for His Majesty, Qin Zhengqing and Fan Renli felt that as long as the cost was well controlled, there should not be much of a problem.

Moreover, it can be publicized in a wave, and when His Majesty comes in person, those businessmen will inevitably be more active and hardworking.

But when it comes to the implementation process of the two losers, that's another matter.

Not to mention the large area, everything has to be good.

Extreme luxury!

The businessmen looked at the situation, which is to engage in development, and this is especially to make trouble, and they began to worry, and more and more people are delaying and dare not carry out construction, and they want to depend on the situation.

That's the importance of faith.

Once a businessman loses confidence, how dare they invest indiscriminately.

That's real money.

The people who lost their land originally hoped to earn a living on the construction site, but now that there is less construction, the people can no longer live, and there are many complaints.

Seeing this, businessmen are even more afraid to invest, so a vicious circle is formed.

Even more outrageous.

In order to save money, the workers who built the palace were forced servants by the local government, and to put it bluntly, they did not need to be paid.

In ancient times, there was conscription, and it was very reasonable to build a palace for the emperor.

The two losers didn't feel the slightest unreasonableness.

Even Qin Zhengqing and Fan Renli didn't feel unreasonable, this is a difference in concepts.

Although they were reasonable, the result was that no one was full of expectations for this new city, which became a big mountain on the heads of the people of Ezhou.

So in less than three months, Ezhou New Town has stopped most of it.

Many people who had lost their land sought land from the government, and there were also some mass incidents.

Of course, these events were suppressed.

But Lao Zhu was obviously not very relieved about the two losers, so he kept sending people to keep an eye on him, which led to today's questioning.

He even heard a little about the construction of the palace and the requisition of land.

I didn't think there was much of a problem either.

To put it bluntly, it's still a matter of concept.

It's a pity that those businessmen are all raised by great talents, and there is no harm if there is no comparison.

In contrast, of course, it is safer to follow the big talent, follow these two losers, maybe one day they will be cut leeks, the big talent is different, from Ping'an County to Changjin County, and then to the southwest, not only did not cut the leeks happened, once the interests of the businessman were damaged, the big talent will be solved as soon as possible, so ......

Although Lao Zhu knew it, it undoubtedly made him very angry when things were done like this.

These two bastard things, "There is more than enough success and more failure." ”

"Go! Get these two bastards back to me, and I'll ask them what the hell they're up to. ”
