Zhang Cang's move to open up sources and reduce expenditure touched the courtiers self-evidently.

In all fairness.

They are very appreciative of this method of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.

It's just that as a Great Qin courtier, you can't be so rash.

You can't just feel it in the moment.

Zhang Cang's ideas and suggestions are good, but they are a little too aggressive and impulsive, once they are not handled properly, the impact on Daqin is unimaginable, Zhang Cang can ignore these, or even consider these, because Zhang Cang's eyes are just a master of the imperial history.

But they can't.

They were important ministers of the imperial court.

Make friends with the Huns and communicate with each other.

They resisted this idea, but what Zhang Cang said was very reasonable, and it did have merit.

After the Xiongnu experienced a big defeat, morale was low, people's morale was sluggish, according to the news from the grassland, the Xiongnu internal suspicion was very large, the head of the man Dan Yu even had the possibility of not being able to suppress the tribes below, if the court came forward at this time, to help the hand of the head of the man Dan Yu, it is indeed possible to maximize the interests of the court, and most of them can be done.

Although they resisted in their hearts, they did not have much dissent.

But in the Kanto repair warehouse.

They are viscerally resistant and opposed.

Kwantung is different from the Huns, the Huns can take a long-distance and close attack, because the Huns are in fact, the court is still remote, even if the Huns really have different intentions, the court has enough time to guard against and target, but Kanto is the jurisdiction of the court, once it is not handled well, it is easy to cause trouble to the whole country, and the consequences are really unpredictable.

The fifth doctor, Zhao Hai, said: "Zhang Yushi, the method you proposed to open up sources and reduce expenditure is good, but is there some lack of consideration?" Doing business with the Xiongnu can still explain that the Xiongnu are now unable to go south, and there is the Great Wall to block it, so doing business is more beneficial than disadvantageous to the imperial court. ”

"But not with the construction of warehouses in Kanto."

"Kanto is different from the Xiongnu."

"Kanto is a place where nobles and scholars are entrenched, although this tour of His Majesty has greatly suppressed the arrogance of the rebel forces, and also fiercely curbed the rampant momentum of the rebel forces in Kanto, but they have taken root in Kanto for many years and are deeply rooted, once the imperial court does not handle it properly, these warehouses may fall into the hands of traitors."

"It's really only a year's worth of food."

"But it's a real amount of money."

"Zhang Cangyushi, have you really considered the consequences?"

"Your suggestion is too presumptuous."

"I beg to differ."

Then.

Ma Xing also listed: "The lower officials also think that this idea is too presumptuous, Kanto is probably not suitable for building warehouses, at least not for now, Kanto has just been pacified by His Majesty, and the rebel forces are panicking, it is the time when the imperial court buys people's hearts, once the imperial court announces the construction of warehouses in Kanto, this is tantamount to telling the head of Guandong that the imperial court will requisition households in Kanto." ”

"Doesn't this further exacerbate the discontent at the bottom?"

"Isn't it because the head of Qian, who was originally drawn over by the imperial court, has been pushed to the side of the rebel forces again?"

"This will undoubtedly make all the efforts made by His Highness in the past go to waste."

Meanwhile.

Other officials could chimed in: "Yes." ”

"It is very unwise to build a warehouse in Kanto to cost people and money."

"I don't think I'm going to wait?"

Another official said: "I also think this idea is too naïve. ”

"Kanto is not comparable to the Huns, once something happens, it will endanger the whole world, a year's money and grain is not much, but if it is a year's money and grain in the entire Kanto, the amount is large, and the court can't afford such a risk."

"Zhang Cangyushi, be cautious."

“.”

There was a lot of opposition in the court.

They did not oppose Zhang Cang's proposal to open up sources and reduce expenditure, but they were very opposed to the construction of warehouses in Kanto, and for a while, there were constant quarrels in the court, and there were few officials who spoke for Zhang Cang.

Ling Hu Fan and Zhao Ping glanced at each other.

is also a dignified complexion.

Zhang Cang's method of opening up sources and reducing expenditure is obviously not complete, if Zhang Cang will say it all, I am afraid that it will cause greater controversy and dissatisfaction in the court.

In all fairness.

They don't think they can handle it.

But in the face of the accusations and dissatisfaction of so many courtiers, Zhang Cang's face only turned red, and he did not appear very impatient, let alone show any anger and dissatisfaction.

This makes them also admire.

The two of them glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but show bitterness on their faces.

So far.

They are also cowardly.

I also know that there is no competition at all.

It takes great courage and determination to make changes in finance, and in these aspects, they are actually lacking, if they can't grit their teeth and persevere, I'm afraid that even if the position of Shaofu falls on their heads, they will eventually be won by the imperial court.

That's it.

They completely lost this thought.

Ling Hu Fan quietly sat back while the others were not paying attention.

Then he only stared at Zhang Cang, wanting to see how Zhang Cang coped with the difficulties of so many courtiers.

Young.

The courtiers' objections gradually faded.

Zhang Cang's face was as usual, although his palms were overflowing with sweat, there was no obvious change on his face.

The courtier's attack, he had expected it.

But he didn't pay much attention to this, he wanted to be on the throne, he was destined to do this, not to mention that he was killed halfway, if there were no courtiers to make trouble, it would be a strange thing.

He coughed lightly and said slowly: "Zhang Cang has heard the concerns of the ministers. ”

"I know it too."

"But there is a saying among the people, wealth and danger are sought."

"Although this sentence should not be used in the court, let alone in state affairs, and should not be used in the mouth of a courtier like me, but the financial predicament of Daqin is becoming more and more acute, and if you want to get out of the predicament as soon as possible, you have to do some rash things, do some high-risk and high-return things."

"These strategies are all worthwhile in Zhang's view."

"Daqin is short of time."

"Since the founding of the imperial court, there have been too many things to do, and there are too many things being done."

"The imperial court can't afford it at all."

"Continuing to stick to the old ways and maintaining the status quo is the way to death."

"In Zhang Cang's view, the most important thing for Daqin now is to buy a certain amount of time for the imperial court, so that the imperial court can gradually end what it is doing, so that the imperial court does not have to accumulate a large number of projects in this short period of ten years, but spread out in a few decades, and then the imperial court can really get rid of the crisis."

"Instead of tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall as in the past."

"Also."

"Ministers, do you remember what Your Majesty said?"

"Cultivating people to win the sky!"

"For this sentence, the court was controversial at the time, and finally ruled for His Majesty, but after more than half a year, the court has had specific methods and measures for this?"

"I'm afraid not."

"Perhaps in your opinion, the imperial court is unable to bear it."

"But if the imperial court really just shouts slogans and doesn't do anything substantial, wouldn't it be a farce?"

"Is this really necessary?"

"Your Majesty's tour is not just to promote this concept, but also to shout a slogan."

"It's about actually making some moves."

"To practice the ambition of 'cultivating people to win the sky'."

"The rebuilding of warehouses in Kanto is undoubtedly in line with this concept, so it is completely reasonable and natural for the imperial court to build warehouses in Kanto by implementing this slogan."

"It won't cause too much doubt and opposition in the Kanto region."

Hear the words.

The faces of the crowd were slightly different.

If Zhang Cang didn't mention it, they would have forgotten about it.

But even so, it still can't change the decision to build a warehouse in the Kanto region.

Zhang Cang said again: "I know that the ministers have a lot of worries. ”

"But many of the ministers present have experienced the destruction of the Six Kingdoms by Great Qin, and they should know very well that the grain and grass needed for the 100,000 army, when General Wang Jian led an army of 600,000, consumed tens of millions of stones, and how much grain can Kwantung produce in a year? And how many troops can it carry? Moreover, these money and food are constantly running, and there are very few that can really be controlled by thieves. ”

"I think that's a lot of worry."

"Again."

"The purpose of the imperial court is to save unnecessary money and food."

"As long as it can be saved, the purpose of the imperial court has been achieved."

"The court has money, and many things can be done."

"In the final analysis, the method I proposed to open up sources and reduce expenditure has only one purpose."

"It's about trading space for time."

"As long as you can buy enough time for the imperial court, even if it is a few years, it will be a great burden reduction for Daqin, and after a few years, with the completion of the construction of roads in various places, the Great Wall will also end, and the various water conservancy measures will gradually be completed, and the human and financial resources used by Daqin on various projects will be greatly reduced."

"The finances of the imperial court will also be enriched as a result."

"It's just that it's going to take a lot of time to finish these big projects."

"And what the Shaofu and even the imperial court have to do now is to try to buy these times for Daqin."

"My suggestion is indeed a bit risky."

"But if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger?"

"Continue to follow the steps, the court will be crushed to death by these pressures at some point, and now it can only seek change."

"We have to be bold and radical."

"Zhang Cang has the heart to change, and he also has the will to change."

"Maybe this is the real reason why Prime Minister Li Si and Dr. Shi are willing to recommend ministers."

"Zhang Cang is also willing to give it a try."

Zhang Cang saluted Fusu respectfully, and then saluted the other ministers.

He then sat back in his seat.

There was a dead silence all around.

All the ministers in the palace were silent.

Zhang Cang has made it very clear.

He knew that these ideas were a bit aggressive, and even a little impulsive, but if Daqin continued to follow the steps, he was afraid that it would be a dead end, rather than just waiting for death, it was better to let go of his hands and feet, boldly do some innovations, and try to make some breakthroughs.

If it can be successful.

At least it can buy the imperial court a few years.

In the past few years, just like the 'Guanshan Hai' implemented by Fusu, it can alleviate local dissatisfaction to a certain extent, and with the completion of various projects in various parts of the world, the situation in all aspects of Daqin will be improved.

The crisis of the imperial court will also disappear with it.

Trade space for time.

They can continue to refute, but if they can't come up with a better solution, the so-called rebuttal will only seem very pale and weak, even a little hysterical and incompetent rage.

So no one spoke again.

Fusu indifferently glanced at the courtiers below and asked, "Zhang Cang Yushi has already revealed his thoughts and thoughts, do you still have any doubts?" Or what other ideas? Or if you have a better suggestion, you can say it together. ”

The courtiers bowed their heads and were silent.

Looked at.

Fusu chuckled.

He added: "Are all the ministers worried? ”

"Then the other economic ministers, do you still have doubts about Zhang Cang's thoughts?"

Ling Hu Fan and the others glanced at each other, and they all shook their heads.

Then.

Ling Hu Fan glanced at Zhang Cang, thought of the appearance in front of him, gritted his teeth and stood up again, and said in a deep voice: "Your Royal Highness, the minister thinks that Zhang Cang's idea of imperial history is the best way that the Shaofu can think of at present, and the minister has no objection to this. ”

"And the minister also thinks that Zhang Cangyushi is more suitable for the Shaofu than the minister."

"Your Highness, please."

Hear the words.

Summoning his eyelids jumped.

He also stood up and arched his hand: "The minister also agrees with Zhang Cang Yushi taking over the position of Shaofu." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

As Linghu Fan and Zhaoping spoke out, the other economic ministers also reacted, and hurriedly got up in favor, and for a while, the voices in the palace in favor of Zhang Cangwei Shaofu became louder and louder, more and more.

It's a stark contrast to the previous ones.

Looked at.

How could the rest of the court oppose it again?

Even the Minister of Economy under the rule of Shaofu agreed, so how could they, the officials of other government offices, have any reason to oppose it?

Feng Qu said quickly: "The minister agrees with Zhang Cang's idea of Yushi, the Shaofu is in charge of the world's economy, and today's economic fatigue should make some changes, the method of opening up sources and reducing expenditures is also very innovative, and it is okay to try one or two." ”

"The minister also recognized Zhang Cang as a young man."

"The lower official seconded the proposal."

"The minister agrees."

“.”

As Feng Qujian spoke, the other courtiers followed suit.

Time.

There is no longer any controversy about the temple.

Fusu nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "It seems that letting Zhang Cangyushi take over the position of Shaofu is what everyone expects." ”

"The minister is terrified." Zhang Cang got up and said.

Fusu said in a deep voice: "Since all the ministers have no objections, then Zhang Cang will take over the position of Shaofu, and it will be decided." ”

"Zhang Cang obeys orders."

"Zhang Cang is here." Zhang Cangdao.

"Now I am promoted to the Shaofu of the Shaofu Division, but now it can only be 'fake', and when His Majesty returns to the court, a formal appointment will be issued at that time, and this period of time can be regarded as an assessment of you."

Zhang Cang hurriedly knelt down and thanked him: "Thank Your Majesty, thank Your Highness." ”

"The minister will never dare to live up to the intentions of the court."

"Your Highness, please."

Fu Su laughed, he helped Zhang Cang up, and said seriously: "Zhang Cang, the burden on your shoulders is very heavy, I hope you will not live up to what you said in the court today, let alone live up to the expectations of the ministers of Daqin and the Manchu Dynasty." ”

"Zhang Cang will never live up to Daqin." Zhang Cangdao.

Fusu nodded, glanced around, and said, "Since the position of the Shaofu has been decided, and the relevant political affairs have already been discussed, the court meeting will end like this." ”

"Scatter!"

After speaking.

Fusu strode out of the palace.

Only the ministers who woke up like a dream were left.
