Zhang Cangzhen was frightened by Fusu's words.

When he came, he still had some psychological construction, but when he really heard Fusu's words, he was still trembling.

Fusu's words were too scary.

If it spreads, it will definitely cause panic in the court.

Zhang Cang didn't dare to respond at all, gritted his teeth and insisted: "Your Highness, the minister is just planning the imperial history, and has no authority to meddle in the money and food, and I also ask Your Highness to find someone else, Zhang Cang is not competent." ”

Fusu's eyes were full of indifference.

His expression was already angry.

He stared at Zhang Cang angrily, and scolded: "Zhang Cang, don't tell me this nonsense, I just want to know one thing, whether you can do it or not, I don't care if you are a Shaofu, and I don't care if you are a master of the imperial history, I only care about whether you can do it!" ”

Zhang Cang knelt on the ground.

Cold sweat was dripping on his forehead, and he was bitter in his heart.

He really didn't dare to reply.

He used to be conceited and full of wealth, but above the court, how could he be so arrogant?

He smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness, there is a clear order in the Great Qin Law, and things outside the authority cannot be transgressed, and the minister does not dare to disobey the order. ”

Fusu's eyes were like eagle eyes, staring at Zhang Cang, and his voice was getting colder and colder.

"Lone asks you one last time, if you can't do it, if you can do it, this Shaofu position, Lone will let you do it."

Hear the words.

Zhang Cang's face changed completely.

His change is not only because Fusu said that he should be a young man, but also because he felt creepy that Fusu called himself lonely, Fusu had always been very approachable in the past, and rarely used such a formal title, but now it is a change from the norm.

This is enough to prove Fusu's seriousness.

And Fusu dared to say this directly, which was completely unexpected by Zhang Cang.

Fusu has always been very elegant and easy-going, rarely so strong oppression, even if Du He caused Fusu to be dissatisfied in the past, Fu Su only complained a little, and did not express it obviously, let alone think of removing Du He.

But in the silence of the past few days, Fusu's temperament seems to have changed greatly.

Get crazy.

It became hysterical and became lawless.

This is not the Fusu he knows at all.

The current Fusu.

It made Zhang Cang feel extremely strange.

He could feel Fusu's stubbornness on this issue, and he would never give up until he reached his goal.

Zhang Cang sighed lightly, his expression was very gloomy, and asked, "Your Highness, what is the purpose of building a permanent position in the world?" If you want to stabilize all kinds of local materials, the regular closing may not be small, if you add fire and moisture prevention measures, I am afraid that the cost of money and grain will be in the millions, and the annual maintenance will also cost a lot of money. ”

"Your Highness knows that the imperial court is short of finances, why do you insist on doing so?"

"I don't understand."

Fusu did not answer.

He still stared at Zhang Cang, as if he didn't listen to Zhang Cang's inquiry at all.

All he had to do was reply.

Looked at.

Zhang Cang smiled bitterly, secretly complaining in his heart.

Although he had long known that it would not be good for Fusu to call him here, but he really heard what Fusu was going to do, which still made him feel that his eyes were dark, if he could, he really wanted to pass out on the spot, so that he might be able to fool the past.

However, with his understanding of Fusu, even if he really fainted, Fusu would not give up easily.

Come to think of this.

The melancholy between Zhang Cang's eyebrows became even stronger.

He thought about it for a while, and said with a very tangled and twisted expression: "If His Highness insists on raising money and food, in addition to expropriation, there are indeed some ways. ”

"Say!" Fusu's eyes moved slightly.

Zhang Cang's eyes were certain, and he said with a calm expression: "The minister doesn't know what Mr. Ji said for His Highness, but to make His Highness's mind change so much, I am afraid it must involve something that endangers the world, Ji Heng is aware of the people's suffering, so the minister boldly deduces that Ji Heng does not want to work too hard for the people and lose money, or put too much burden on the people." ”

"Under such conditions, there is actually no good way."

"But it's not for nothing."

"In the whole world, there is nothing more important than all kinds of large-scale civil construction."

"So the minister thinks we should start with these."

"First and foremost."

"It's to stop repairing the Afang Palace."

As soon as the clip was opened, Zhang Cang relaxed.

He said slowly: "Afang Palace is the palace appointed by His Majesty, and it has just been put on the agenda now, many ministers and craftsmen have now arrived in Xianyang and started to do the initial construction. ”

"If you continue to insist on going your own way, you will only gain more than you lose."

"Therefore"

"The minister thinks that the construction of the Afang Palace should be stopped."

"Save some money and food for this purpose, and use it on His Highness's regular position."

After speaking.

Zhang Cang's eyes quietly looked at Fusu.

He was curious about how Fusu would respond and what kind of emotions he would have.

It's just that Zhang Cang was a little surprised.

Fusu just replied lightly with a 'yes', and then gave the matter a decision, and didn't give any explanation at all, as if he could make the decision about it.

But the truth is clearly not.

It was built by the First Emperor.

Did Fusu really dare to disobey the proposal of the First Emperor?

Zhang Cang's eyelids jumped.

He knew that this time it might be different.

He originally mentioned Afang Palace just to be tempted.

I wanted to see how much courage and determination Fusu had, but after hearing Fusu's unhesitating answer, Zhang Cang suddenly sobered up, Fusu did not have a whim this time, but really made up his mind and made up his mind.

He even did not hesitate to disobey the order of the First Emperor.

This made him even more curious, what Ji Heng said to Fusu.

can make Fusu have such a big change.

His eyes flickered, and he asked suspiciously, "Has Your Highness really made up your mind?" If His Royal Highness openly announces the cessation, it will probably cause great damage to His Royal Highness's reputation, and it will also attract criticism from the courtiers, and may even cause His Majesty to be dissatisfied. ”

"Has Your Highness really thought it through?"

Zhang Cang didn't give up and wanted to confirm again.

Fusu's expression was resolute, and he said in a sonorous tone: "Afang Palace was indeed built by His Majesty, but compared to the stability of the Kanto region, I believe that I can convince Your Majesty, and it is beneficial to the country, how can Your Majesty refuse?" ”

Fusu said it very plainly.

It's as if you're setting a predetermined thing.

This made Zhang Cang even more puzzled.

Fusu didn't have the idea of saying more, just said coldly: "Go on." ”

Zhang Cang stroked his beard, and at this moment he was completely out of the way.

He gritted his teeth and said, "If the twelve gold people standing in the city are smelted into coins, they may be able to raise millions of dollars for the imperial court. ”

"It's just that these gold people have been smelting for many years, and their appearance is rusty, and if they want to re-smelt into coins, it may take a lot of time, but compared to the cost, after these twelve gold people are smelted, they can indeed bring a lot of income to the imperial court."

Hearing the twelve golden people, Fusu hesitated.

It's not that it can't.

Rather, the political symbolism of the twelve golden people is greater.

This is a visual display of Qin martial arts.

It is also the most intuitive 'sharp weapon' to deter the world, how powerful the soldiers of the Six Nations are, but they are still defeated in the hands of the Qin army, and the weapons they are most proud of have been smelted into gold.

This is a more direct mockery and trampling on the Kanto.

Seeing Fusu's hesitation, Zhang Cang hesitated for a moment, and said in a condensed voice: "The minister knows the significance of the twelve golden people to the world, so the minister actually suggested that the twelve golden people should be retained, but now the appearance of the golden people has been corroded, and the imperial court can return the twelve golden people to the furnace and rebuild the twelve golden people in the future, but from the current Quanshi, it has become gilded, but it is only plated on the outside." ”

"In this way, the court has obtained metal, and the twelve golden people are still standing proudly."

"There's nothing wrong with the two."

Hear the words.

Fusu's eyes lit up.

This proposal is good, the twelve golden people are returned to the furnace, and then only a layer of iron and copper is plated on the outside, and all the iron and copper inside are recycled to make Qin Banliang, and the 'golden people' poured by copper water are actually not much different from the actual twelve gold people, as long as no one breaks them, they will basically not be discovered by the outside world.

Fusu bowed his head and said: "Zhang Yushi's proposal is good. ”

"Just do what you say."

"Anything else?"

Then.

Fusu is already looking forward to it.

He now thinks more and more that it was a very wise choice for him to bring Zhang Cang over.

This man is really a great talent.

It's just that it's hindered by its appearance and shape.

Zhang Cang's eyelids jumped, and when he saw Fusu agreeing again, his courage also increased, and he said in a deep voice: "As for the third point, the minister thinks that when it falls on the construction of the Great Wall, the Great Wall stretches for thousands of miles, although some parts only connect the old Great Wall, but this is also an incomparably huge project, and the consumption of manpower, material and financial resources is massive. ”

"Now the Xiongnu are in the north, and the hidden dangers in the north are temporarily removed."

"The construction of the Great Wall in such a hurry and impatience is too much pressure on the people of northern Xinjiang, almost the front foot just sent the Huns away, escaped the danger of life and death looting, and was pulled to build the Great Wall in a blink of an eye, which also led to unspeakable suffering and complaints in the place."

"The minister thinks it should be slowed down."

"The Great Wall should be repaired."

"But fix it in time."

"It's not a rush to get started, a lot of money and food is wasted, it's actually not of much use, and it's just a 'spectacle' at the moment, flashy and unrealistic, with little effect."

Hear the words.

Fusu's heart moved.

He remembered what Ji Heng said.

The Xiongnu in the north, there is no hidden danger to the Great Qin in the short term, the court can even take the opportunity to seek trade with the Xiongnu, if it is really done, the court may also be able to profit a lot from it, as for the Great Wall, this is a sharp weapon to block external troubles, and it must be repaired, but it can indeed be slowed down.

One is to let the people rest.

Second, you can also save a lot of money.

Think about it.

Fusu nodded.

He said in a deep voice: "The Great Wall is a major event of the country, and it cannot be easily interrupted, but in order to rest with the people, it is not impossible to slow down appropriately, not to mention that the construction of the Great Wall is too impatient, which has also led to a lot of resentment. ”

"I will ask Your Majesty."

Zhang Cang said again: "In fact, there is another one, that is, palaces all over the country, which should also be slowed down." ”

After speaking.

Zhang Cang was silent.

This suggestion is actually an arrogance.

He also knew this, so he said it briefly and stopped talking directly.

Fusu frowned.

He glanced at Zhang Cang deeply, but did not immediately reply to this.

The National Palace, this is a matter of the emperor's travel, in all fairness, he should agree, but the first emperor is not in good health at the moment, if the construction of the palace in the world is stopped, I am afraid that the first emperor will be dissatisfied, and it will also make the outside world give birth to all kinds of groundless conjectures, after weighing it, he still gave up this suggestion.

The palace can't be stopped.

This involves the face of the emperor.

It also involves the majesty of the imperial court in the world.

"Anything else?" Fusu asked.

Zhang Cang shook his head.

As for streamlining the organization and levying more rents and taxes, he didn't think about it at all, and the points put forward in front of him were the easiest ways to realize and implement in his mind.

Fusu also nodded when he saw this.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that it was not easy for Zhang Cang to think of so much.

After all, water conservancy, roads and other projects will also cost a lot of money and food, but this is a matter of the world's livelihood, and it must not be easily changed, so we can only start from these 'face' projects.

Even this is difficult to do.

Zhang Cang was not so optimistic, he said in a condensed voice: "Your Highness, the minister's suggestion can indeed save a lot of money and food for Your Highness." ”

"But in the eyes of the minister, it is impossible to be sufficient."

"Because there has always been a big deficit in the imperial court's finances, various projects, to a certain extent, have always had the problem of arrears.

"Honestly."

"Your Highness's real surplus is still the twelve golden people."

"As for the suspension of other projects, it is true that it can bring some money and food to His Highness, but under the prevarication and obstruction of officials from all sides, His Highness can really intercept very little."

"Because the local government also needs this money and food to calm the people's grievances."

Fusu nodded.

He knew what was going on.

However, the regular closing of the Kanto region must be repaired, and no one can stop it.

Zhang Cang said again: "Many of the suggestions put forward by the minister were decided by the court, if His Royal Highness wants to interrupt or change, I am afraid that it will be greatly controversial, and it will have a great impact on His Royal Highness's prestige. ”

Fusu said silently: "You don't need to persuade this anymore. ”

"Daqin needs money, and the money should be used in the right place, your suggestions will indeed be questioned, and they will also be targeted by the ministers, but since I have made up my mind to help Su, I will definitely do it, even if there are high mountains and dangers ahead, I will not retreat half a step."

Zhang Cang wanted to speak and stopped.

Ultimately.

He still pleaded: "The minister knows His Highness's determination, and he doesn't dare to persuade him anymore. ”

"It's just that Rong Chen said one more thing, the reason why the minister opened his mouth was just to think that he was familiar with His Royal Highness, and he didn't have any intention of coveting the position of Shaofu, and the minister implored His Highness not to move the position of Shaofu."

"Please Your Highness take the court first."

Fusu frowned.

He brushed his sleeves and said, "You don't have to care about this matter, I have my own measurements." ”

"I've been fasting for days, and I'm a little hungry."

"Zhang Yushi will go down first."

Hear the words.

Zhang Cang opened his mouth, sighed lightly, and had to retreat.

Seeing Zhang Cang leaving, Fu Su's body shook, and he almost collapsed to the ground, he was already a little faint from hunger now, and said outside: "Wei Sheng, go, prepare some food for me." ”

Wei Sheng, who was outside the hall, couldn't help but burst into tears of excitement when he heard Fusu's words, and hurriedly went in with the copper plate.

He's always had this meal prepared.

Just wait for now.
