[Deng Yukai, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, said in a deep voice: Your Majesty, giving up the cities in the Northern Regions means that my Great Wilderness will lose the gateway to the Northern Regions, and the Heavenly Wolf Alien Race can invade at any time, and there is no danger to defend...... This is absolutely unacceptable!! 】

[Move all the people of the cities in the northern regions to the south, not to mention the money and silver that needs to be spent, just the chariots, horses, and soldiers, the number is unknown? Besides, is there still a place to live in the southern lands? Can the southern cities withstand so many people? 】

[As for the underground town mentioned by Scholar Zhou, that is even more nonsense! ] 】

[Empty consumption of national strength, in the end, in the end, it is just a bamboo basket to draw water, an empty ......]

[Regardless of whether the extreme cold weather will reach this point?] It is said that the manpower and material resources required to build a town underground are incalculable, and once the extremely cold weather disappears, the underground town will lose its function and become an empty shell......]

[Besides, if the extremely cold weather does not reach this step, I will make such a move in the Great Wilderness, which consumes manpower and material resources, and finally cannot be dispatched, can the court still have majesty? ] 】

[I hope Your Majesty will think twice!!] 】

[As soon as this remark came out, it was quickly echoed by other ministers.] 】

[Officials from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and the Dali Temple came out one after another. 】

[Your Majesty, Deng Zuo Shilang is reasonable! Your Majesty, please think twice!! 】

[Your Majesty, you must not make a rash decision, this matter is a matter of national capital, and the opinions of hundreds of officials should be sought......]

[Your Majesty, it's a waste of money for the people and money!!] The treasury is out of money...... If it is really according to what Scholar Zhou said, abandon the towns in the northern regions and move all to the south...... It will definitely lead to the overwhelming of the treasury......]

[All kinds of exhortations are endless, it seems that the proposal just made by Zhou Zhenwen has violated the rules of heaven and attracted public anger!! 】

[However, in the face of all this, Zhou Zhenwen turned a blind eye, his eyes were calm, and he seemed to have guessed that there would be this result a long time ago......]

Empress Liang looked at this scene, her heart was mixed, and she muttered: "Although there are tens of millions of people...... Am I alone? ”

"Zhou Zhenwen, you have such a big pattern!!"

To be honest, Zhou Zhenwen's words were attacked, questioned, and even targeted, all of which were understandable.

After all, such a huge project, such a whimsical idea, it is impossible for anyone to support him......

Even the people under his command are still waiting, and they dare not speak out, for fear of becoming the target of the public.

These people, even Zhou Zhenwen dare to question and dare to scold, let alone others?

"These people are all protecting themselves, and the ministers are aware of it...... I'd rather do nothing than make mistakes, especially in your position, I am wary of you, everyone knows it, and I want to change the idea of a cabinet chief, and there are many people who know it, but even so, you dare to put forward such an opinion......"

"Zhou Zhenwen, Zhou Zhenwen, you are really a strange person......"

Empress Liang Zhao really hates and loves a courtier like Zhou Zhenwen, and his emotions are very complicated, some times, Zhou Zhenwen is a very reliable courtier, some times, he is greedy to death, and some times, he is stubborn like a child!!

This person is like a contradiction, a powerful minister who is fused with a loyal minister and a traitorous minister, and it is inexplicably very reassuring!!

[Okay, it's all quiet!!] 】

[The little eunuch held a leather whip in his hand and struck the ground fiercely, making a piercing sound, forcibly interrupting the crowd's angry speech......]

[You sat on the dragon chair, your face remained unchanged, your eyes flickered, looking at Zhou Zhenwen, thoughtfully. 】

[After a long time, you slowly spoke: Zhou Zhenwen, I ask you, do you have to do this? 】

[Zhou Zhenwen: Your Majesty, the merit is in the present generation, and the benefit is in the future! As long as there is a 1 in 10,000 chance, the minister will not give up!! 】

[You nodded and stood up: Okay, then do what you want!!] 】

[As soon as these words came out, hundreds of officials were in an uproar and whispered one after another, and many ministers couldn't help it......]

[Isn't this nonsense? 】

[The treasury has no money in the first place, once it really starts to abandon the northern cities, move south, and build underground towns...... Where is the money in the Great Wilderness? If you don't even have it, can the imperial court still exist? 】

[You look serious and shout: Shut up!!] I'm not done yet!! 】

[Hearing this, the ministers who were talking gradually quieted down, and some of the ministers who had planned to come out to admonish also stopped, they wanted to see what the emperor had to say? 】

[You look at Zhou Zhenwen: Scholar Zhou, although I promised you to give up the cities in the Northern Regions, the people moving south, and building underground towns, however, the money and silver spent, the imperial court will not pay, and you need to come out yourself......]

[What? 】

[Do things for the imperial court at your own expense? 】

[The ministers were also stunned, and they were all dumbfounded by your operation? 】

[Never heard of working for the royal family, and having to pay out of your own pocket? ] 】

[Isn't this done, spending money to go to work? 】

[And these three things, the cost is not small, not tens of thousands of taels of silver can be done...... No matter how rich Zhou Zhenwen is, it is impossible for him to accomplish this kind of thing alone, right? 】

[You: Scholar Zhou, the situation of the treasury, you also know, if you want to take out so much money, the court can't afford it, this money, you need to solve it yourself, but the court can help you, I know that you have always wanted to make the Great Wilderness trade and establish a free trade zone, I approved, the court can support you, do everything possible to make money, and maintain the consumption of these things, but the premise is that the interests of the court cannot be damaged, that is, the business ...... The imperial court has to take the lion's share, and in addition to the necessary expenses, every month, the area you manage pays ten times as much tax as the other regions, is there a problem? 】

[Huh? 】

[Zhou Zhenwen showed a look of surprise, he didn't seem to expect you to agree...... Didn't expect you to agree in this way? 】

[Zhou Zhenwen made a simple calculation, and finally nodded: Yes, but Your Majesty, the minister has another request. 】

[You frown: Say.] 】

[Zhou Zhenwen: In the free trade zone, the minister needs absolute control and can handle anything on his own, and the imperial court can send someone to supervise, but it cannot affect the production and operation of the free trade zone and the criminal law, and at the same time, the location of the free trade zone must open the dock, so that merchant ships can dock freely......]

[The more the ministers listen, the more wrong it is, where is the establishment of a free trade zone? This is clearly to establish a country, right? Or is it China? What else is "one country, two systems"? If this is carried out, then what do you want these ministers to do? 】

[As soon as I thought of this, many ministers began to lift their sleeves, planning to have a good chat with Zhou Zhenwen, and they must reprimand the other party's wolf ambitions!! 】

[But none of the ministers thought it was...... You actually agreed......]

[You: Okay, I can answer you, but the imperial court will arrange for someone to audit the accounts at any time, and there will be officials accompanying you, as a supervision, these officials will report directly to me, is there any problem?] 】

[Zhou Zhenwen nodded: Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister has no opinion. 】
