The winds in August are hot.

It just blew on Duch and made him feel cold.

It even made him shudder a little.

Du He walked out of the side hall of Yonggong tremblingly, his face was like ashes, and his steps were extremely heavy.

From the outside, his whole person looked like he had lost his soul, without the slightest bit of energy, he just stood outside the hall calmly, looking at the wide front, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Shaofu."

"Shaofu."

A slight call pulled Duch's lost mind back.

Duch slowly raised his head, a little more energetic in his eyes.

He looked at Wei Sheng on the side and said slowly: "I was a little distracted for a while, thank you Wei Fuling for reminding me." ”

Wei Sheng said with a smile: "The young mansion chief said seriously, and the lower officials just saw that the young mansion was a little distraught, so he subconsciously called a few times, hoping that he did not interrupt the young mansion to think about things." ”

Duch nodded.

He took a deep breath and walked towards the steps.

Wei Sheng watched Du He leave.

He was also puzzled by Du He's dejected appearance, but since His Royal Highness locked himself in the study for a few days, he hurriedly summoned Zhang Cang and Du He as soon as he came out, and he must have something important to discuss with them.

However, from the anxious looks of Zhang Cang and Du He when they left, Wei Sheng couldn't help but guess that they probably didn't end up with anything good.

Wei Sheng withdrew his gaze.

As for what Fusu said to Zhang Cang and Du He, he didn't want to inquire.

As a close minister of Fusu, he is well versed in the way of survival in the palace, he is just a eunuch, just take care of Fusu's daily life, as for the rest, he doesn't understand, and he won't ask.

In the palace, knowing too many things is not necessarily a good thing.

He knows it.

I won't put myself in danger.

He still has a clear understanding of his identity and status.

Walk out of the palace gate.

Duch bowed slightly, and suddenly stood up.

It's just that his eyebrows are full of sorrow.

He stood still.

Go back.

Looking at the towering palace behind him, his eyes were full of gloom and loneliness.

He knows.

I miscalculated this time.

Fusu was far tougher and more crisp than they imagined, and he started to do it vigorously, without giving people any time to think at all, so he smashed it down, and then it was directly determined.

He was still a little dizzy.

But he also knows it.

By the time Fusu said those ways to make money, his political life in the imperial court had already ended, and Great Qin or the First Emperor would not use a courtier who pretended to be dedicated, especially when the situation in Great Qin was not clear.

Relative Fusu also gave him decency.

Let his son Du Bing enter the court, and let himself leave the scene, which is already very shameful and dignified.

How dare he complain any more?

Duch stood straight outside the palace, looking at the tall palace in front of him, his eyes full of reluctance and nostalgia, but in the end, he turned around and walked towards his carriage.

There was no reason for him to stay.

If he continues to struggle and continue to disobey, when Fusu tells these methods, he is afraid that none of the Manchu ministers will speak for him, and he will be truly ruined.

Duch sat in the carriage.

He didn't tell where to go.

Just sit quietly in the carriage.

It's like thinking back to the bits and pieces of my Shiqin, those magnificent and incomparably brilliant pasts, but when did I start to become what I am now?

Work is not contributive.

I don't know how long it has been.

Duch sighed softly and regained his expression.

He lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to the outside of the carriage: "Go to the Shaofu official office, and send someone to inform the prime minister, as well as the relevant officials in charge of the economy in the DPRK and China, and say that I have something to discuss with them." ”

"That's right."

"Remember to call Zhang Cang too."

Speaking of Zhang Cang, a strange color flashed in Du He's eyes, but it quickly dimmed.

After speaking.

He lowered the curtain of the carriage and made no more noise.

With the sound of horses' hooves, the four-seater carriage also drove out of the imperial city.

Imperial Historian's House.

Zhang Cang just went back not long ago.

Sit on a very smooth mattress that has been rubbed.

He was a little uncertain.

Thinking back to the suggestion he made in Fusu, he only felt that there was a burst of sword light and sword shadow in front of him, which made him very unsteady, and he really couldn't settle down, and he always felt like he had committed something stupid.

And compared to those suggestions, he was now more curious about what Ji Heng said to Fusu.

It was able to help Su have such a big change.

It's amazing.

Fusu did have some changes in the past, but those changes are traceable, and most of them can be accepted, and on the whole, it is still as gentle and elegant as in the past, and it will not be so aggressive, but now, everything has changed.

Fusu suddenly became impatient.

I've become a little paranoid and ruthless.

There is also a kind of ruthlessness that will not give up until the goal is achieved.

This is similar to the Fusu in the past.

Fusu will not become unprovoked.

There must be a reason for everything.

The reason for this must come from Ji Heng.

It can only be Ji Heng.

Zhang Cang thought about it in his mind, but he didn't have a clue, Fusu's transformation was too weird, too abnormal, there was no sign at all, and there was no sign, just so quietly, and it happened like a thunderstorm on the ground.

Zhang Cang shook his head.

Since you can't think of it, don't think about it.

He began to think about the idea that Fusu had proposed.

Construction in the Kanto region of the Standing Closed Position.

This is actually a bit abrupt and unusual, in the past, Fusu has never mentioned half a point, let alone any warning, and this time Fusu did not hesitate to remove Du He, but also to do it, which may have a deep meaning.

Positions are often closed.

Literally, he could roughly guess a thing or two.

Most of them are used as places for centralized storage of materials and then centralized dispatch.

In fact, such warehouses were found in the past in the seven countries.

It's just that the granaries of the six countries of Kwantung were basically destroyed during the war, and after the founding of the Great Qin, the first emperor set out to build an Ao Cang in the old land of Wei, Ao Mountain near Xingyang, which is the largest grain storage warehouse today, and the grain collected from all over Shandong will be sent here.

It's just that Aocang is in the direction of Guanzhong, and the water transportation is mostly inconvenient, so the grain in the world is concentrated in Aocang, and then transported to all parts of Daqin by land, and Aocang is also the heart of Daqin today.

As far as the truth goes.

The construction of warehouses in the Kanto region was actually beneficial to Daqin.

Because the transportation of grain in various parts of the Kanto region will consume a lot of resources every year, and if it is distributed, it will also increase the loss, if it can be built in the Kanto, it can also relatively reduce the loss on the road, but if the Kanto has a granary, I am afraid that it will really have the strength to threaten the Guanzhong, which is why at the beginning of the founding of the Great Qin, I would rather waste more on the road than leave a granary in the Kanto.

Your Highness is there to save money?

Zhang Cang's eyes rolled.

He felt that this reason was a little untenable.

He continued to think.

It's just that after thinking about it, he thought of a disaster relief.

But Daqin is disaster relief and not disaster relief.

It will not open the granary for nothing, so that the affected people can eat and drink for nothing, but from this point of view, it is also in line with some reason, Daqin disaster relief does not provide disaster relief, this is the situation in Guanzhong, the people of Kanto do not know, and the imperial court built a granary in Kanto, which can undoubtedly stabilize people's hearts, and when there is really a disaster in the future, it will not be panicked at the bottom, and rumors are spreading.

But it's still a bit far-fetched.

Zhang Cang also felt confused at the moment.

I can't think of a reason.

It's so abrupt.

He scratched his head and said in a low voice, "Are you worried that something will happen to Kanto?" For a rainy day? Precautions? Just in case? ”

"But the view of the imperial court has always been that the Kanto region is weak, and the Guandong is strong, even if the Kanto region is in turmoil, there are no soldiers, and there is no food and grass, no matter how big the turmoil is, it will not become the climate, and the court can be easily pacified."

"It doesn't make sense."

"Salt, iron, grain and firewood are all related to people's livelihood."

"Ugh."

"I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out."

"I don't want to."

Zhang Cang patted his head, but he also gave up decisively.

He knew too little information, so he guessed out of thin air, and he really didn't have a clue.

He only hoped that Fusu wouldn't tell Shaofu what he said now.

Otherwise.

He's going to have a big head.

He took out the bamboo slips from under the case, took out a blank bamboo slip, and began to calculate the amount of land rent reported by each county and county.

That's just at this time.

A small official suddenly came to report outside the door.

"Imperial Chief, Du He Shaofu, please go to Shaofu."

Hear the words.

Zhang Cang's face changed slightly.

I chuckled directly in my heart.

His eyes were as wide as brass bells, he sat up from the seat abruptly, looked at the little official condescendingly, and asked, "Say it again, who invited me over?" ”

Seeing Zhang Cang's reaction so strongly, the little official was also taken aback.

But he still suppressed his anxiety and said: "It's Duhe Shaofu, I invite you to go to the Shaofu official office for a gathering, this is a message sent by the Shaofu officials, and the subordinates have not tampered with it." ”

Bang!

Zhang Cang sat down again.

His face was full of remorse.

He had thought that these words would fall into Duhe's ears, but he didn't expect Fusu to speak so quickly.

As soon as he walked with his front foot, Fusu said to Duhe with his back foot.

Isn't that putting him to death?

Zhang Cang looked depressed.

He knew that Fusu might be a little dissatisfied with Du He and wanted to kick Du He out of the court, but it wasn't so fast, he didn't sit hot when he came back, so he was found by the main owner, and he couldn't even find an excuse to defend himself.

At the moment, it is not human inside and out.

When this matter spreads, I am afraid that I will be even more jealous and hated by officials.

Zhang Cang's face was depressed, and he said speechlessly: "Your Highness, I, Zhang Cang, am really unlucky, why did I get close to Ling in the first place?" It's not enough to pit me again and again, but also pit me to death, why is my Zhang Cang so miserable. ”

"I can't stand it."

Zhang Cang covered his chest in pain, his face showed a hideous look, and he wanted to lie on the spot.

Only to finally sigh lightly, and his complexion returned to normal.

You can't hide from it.

Du Shaofu named and let himself pass.

It must have been Fusu who told Du He about these things, otherwise Du He would never have found him so quickly, which also means that there is no point in him being sick here.

It will only attract ridicule from others.

He could only go.

Zhang Cang had a cold face, brushed his sleeves and said, "You go and prepare a carriage for me, I'll clean up and go over." ”

He waved his hand and told the little official to step back.

Sit on the seat.

Zhang Cang only felt the darkness in front of him.

But his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to justify, thinking about what kind of rhetoric to use to excuse himself, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had no confidence.

The only thing he was looking forward to now.

It was Fusu who told Du He about these things, and his attitude was relatively mild, so there might be room for relaxation.

otherwise

I'm afraid he can only stand up and be scolded.

I am afraid that I will not be able to run away with a sneer, which is actually okay, if other officials know that he has calculated Du He behind his back, which will attract the courtiers to attack, he may not be able to stand in the court.

After all, no one wants someone to stumble behind them.

Zhang Cang's face was very ugly.

In my heart, I couldn't help but count Fusu several times.

Ultimately.

All the anxiety and anxiety turned into a few long sighs.

He boarded the carriage to Shaofu.

When Zhang Cang went to the Shaofu Office, he was surprised to find that there were many carriages parked in front of the Shaofu, including Prime Minister Feng Cheng's carriage, which made him suspicious.

Could it be that you are suspicious?

His Highness didn't tell Duch about those things?

Du He asked himself to come this time, wasn't it because of His Highness?

Zhang Cang blinked.

The original restless mood suddenly settled down.

He straightened the corners of his clothes to make himself look more upright, but because of his size, his already wide clothes also looked a little close to him.

He coughed lightly, shook his hands slightly, and walked in indifferently.

By the time Zhang Cang arrived, there were already many officials in the hall.

In addition to Du He and Feng Quji, there are also Changshi, Datian Order, Taicang Order, Da Nei Ling, Shao Nei Ling, Bang Sikong, and second-level economic officials, such as mercenary officials, Guan Shi, engineers, etc

Seeing so many economic ministers, Zhang Cangcai's heart was relieved, and he suddenly came up again.

He already had a premonition that something was wrong.

He saluted the people.

It's just that when he saluted Duhe, he felt the dissatisfaction and annoyance in Duhe's eyes.

Zhang Cang secretly complained in his heart.

His worst fears had finally happened.

Sure enough, Duch knew.

Du He looked at Zhang Cang coldly and sneered: "In the past, there have always been rumors in the DPRK that Zhang Yushi is proficient in calculations, and the director of the world is the best in the world, and if you talk about financial management and economic access, no one in the world can beat it, but now it seems that what you say is true." ”

"So many ministers."

"Zhang Yushi alone can count himself as the last to arrive."

"It's a real calculation."

Hear the words.

Zhang Cang's face was embarrassed.

His face was flushed, and he shouted: "Shaofu's words are serious, the lower officials are white, and they are fat, so they are more tired, this is just a little late, not intentionally late, please forgive Shaofu." ”

"Please also ask the ministers not to blame."

"Zhang Cang apologizes to you."

After speaking.

Zhang Cang bowed respectfully to everyone.

No temper at all.

Looked at.

Du He's face was still cold, but he didn't continue to target, and said bluntly: "I invited you ministers this time to explain to you one thing, something that His Highness told me. ”

"It's about the economy."
