Chapter 531 – A Thousand Years of Service
Zhu Zhanji was surprised when he read it.
The way Aunty is doing this is just too appalling.
A Jiangxi Buzhengzhi, set up sixty-three stations, the construction of the city is also.
Although the city, just build a skeleton, provide some basic reading, medicine, guards and so on the service, but this need to build how many medical center, pharmacy and need how many museum yamen clerks, set up how many inspectors, and how much to build how many roads, how many bridges need to be built.
This is not to repair the railroad, is clearly to the entire Jiangxi Buzhengji, to a transformation of the bones.
But it takes silver to build a road, it takes silver to build a city, and how much manpower and material resources are needed for these?
The drawings of this design even indicate the dwellings of the inhabitants, as well as the location of the inns and workshops, and there is even a standardized plan for the construction of ditches as well as roads.
This forest comes down to ……
Zhu Zhanji could not help but frown and said, “A uncle …… so that all down, imperial grandfather every year that fifty million taels of silver, only afraid ……”
Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “The problem is here! Fifty million taels …… I counted, indeed some not quite enough, but …… when first reported to His Majesty, indeed some miscalculation, this is my fault. But now the railroad has been opened to repair, the cost is not, you can play additional well.”
Zhu Zhanji: “……”
Zhu Zhanji, however, is not as comfortable as Zhang Anshi.
Fifty million taels would have already made the royal grandfather meat pain, this year 50 million, almost equivalent to directly emptied the old capital of Zhu Di’s internal funds.
If the budget is further increased, Royal Grandpa will have to go crazy.
So Zhu Zhanji said, “A uncle, is this …… proper?”
Zhang Anshi said: “engage in railroads, has always been this way, do not believe you to ask, Zhili repair railroads, there are additional budgets, after all, people can not do beforehand to do fine-tuning Well, we are not immortals. This …… thing is of course very improper, so A uncle is worried that if His Majesty is informed, the necessary jumping feet. So this is to find you ah, our uncle and nephew, just to discuss a way to.”
Zhu Zhanji: “……”
Zhu Zhanji felt that this uncle of his had come to set himself up again.
Zhang Anshi said, “There’s no need to always look at me like that.”
Zhu Zhanji said, “I understand, finally know, A uncle why teach me to come to this Jiangxi Railway Division, if it is other people, played additional silver, Royal Grandpa non-murder, but if I go to want, Royal Grandpa can not be helped.”
Being exposed, Zhang Anshi could not help but feel a little embarrassed, coughing, “Not exactly, mainly still hoping to exercise you, what bad thoughts could A-Uncle have?”
Zhu Zhanji but also drooped his head: “Moreover, as long as I opened the mouth, the royal grandfather, even if the face of the dragon again, will obediently pull out the silver. Because I this dragon grandson personally in charge of jiangxi railroad division, the world are watching it, if because the budget is insufficient, and lead to unsustainable, then it is necessary to teach the world to laugh, not to mention the other, just for the sake of this face, the imperial grandfather smashed pots and pans, but also to renew the silver.”
Zhang Anshi sighed and said, “O Junji, how can you think like this ……”
Zhu Zhanji said, “A uncle …… how can you use me as a gun?”
Zhang Anshi immediately put on a look of aggrieved: “Junji, you say such words, really teach uncle heart to be broken, you touch your own conscience, so many years, since you play small, uncle is not what are planning and thinking for you? This Jiangxi railroad, is the precedent of the world, as long as the success, the necessary name in history, the creation is the foundation of the world, the establishment of the world’s success, as long as things come to fruition, how many people and the people, to be grateful, the world is necessary to turn heaven and earth up, that you say, uncle teach you to do this, is it any private thoughts?”
“As for His Majesty’s silver …… His Majesty is a sovereign father, his silver, who spends it is not spending it? You are his own grandson, what’s wrong with you spending a little of his silver? Shouldn’t you? Zhanji, you have to remember your own identity, you are the grandson, you are the hope of the Ming Dynasty. This internal money, you should spend, the only need to calculate, is how to spend this silver! Is it blessing the world, or poor and desperate to spoil it? If you are able to be the people of the world, uncle is very happy, the people of the world will also be overjoyed, this is not the best of both worlds?”
Zhang Anshi said more and more excited: “Now you come back to blame uncle, really teach uncle how embarrassing! You and I uncle and nephew of love, how deep, I say a word should not say, uncle regard you than their own son to be valuable. I just did not expect …… some good intentions, but became a malicious intent, hey …… I really should not be so confused, I do my good end of the King of Song, all things do not care, is not good? Why do you want to be so horizontal and vertical hot people suspected?”
Zhu Zhanji heard this, chewing, actually feel reasonable.
For a moment, he was ashamed, so he said, “Uncle, don’t be angry, just now I was just talking nonsense.”
Zhang Anshi said more and more feel aggrieved, said quietly: “This is your heart, you feel in your heart that uncle is so heartless. Strike, you do not have to explain it, things have come to this, uncle and what can say? So sex, uncle this will go back to the capital to go, from now on, all things do not care, closed door to think, close the door to live their own days.”
“Zhanji, you have grown up, and you do have the appearance of a dragon and tiger, and you will surely be able to succeed the Great Tree in the future. My uncle knows that the heavenly family has always been heartless, so how would he care about the relationship between uncle and nephew? By the time you are orphaned and widowed, you don’t have to think of your uncle. My uncle is a person who knows the importance of things and naturally knows that there is a difference between a ruler and his subjects. …… I will go to New Zealand and keep kangaroos as my companion.”
When Zhu Zhanji heard this, he immediately panicked and said in a panic, “I’m really wrong, I won’t dare again. A uncle ……”
Zhang Anshi waved his hand.
Zhu Zhanji momentarily anxious, eyes will also wet, seems to think of the past uncle treat their own benefits, but also see Zhang Anshi all thoughts of the appearance, both feel ashamed, feel more frightened.
Seeing Zhang Anshi to go, he pulled Zhang Anshi’s long sleeve and said, “Uncle, I really don’t dare, just now really just my nonsense, uncle is the best for me, but I’m confused, teaching uncle sad.”
Only then did Zhang Anshi’s face soften a little, then said, “This is actually not your fault, who taught Uncle to just like to meddle in other people’s business?”
Zhu Zhanji said, “It is A-Uncle who thinks of me in every way, and A-Uncle is the best to me in the world.”
Only then did Zhang Anshi say, “This plan for the new city, as I see it, is better to think long and hard about it.”
Zhu Zhanji busy even shook his head and said, “A uncle is right, at this time is the best time to build a new city, completely break the local fences, this is a thousand years of great events, can not be regarded as a child’s play, if I miss such a time, I am really ashamed of the ancestors, I will write a letter to the emperor master to ask for money.”
Zhang Anshi then busied himself by saying, “Don’t mention me in the sangha.”
Zhu Zhanji said, “Oh.”
…………
A few days later, Zhang Anshi returned to the capital with great joy.
He has been going back and forth on this matter of the railroad.
This is so big that if it succeeds, then the New Deal will be considered a complete fix.
The number of people who have been favored from this is even more numerous.
The gentry as well as the ministers who opposed the New Deal, their soil, too, would thus be completely lost.
After returning to the capital, Zhang Anshi did not come to have to go home, but hurriedly into the palace audience.
Zhu Di heard Zhang Anshi from Raozhou back, but also overjoyed, immediately called Zhang Anshi, at this time, Xie Jin people, etc., this and Zhu Di is deliberating.
Zhang Anshi arrived in front of Zhu Di and performed a salute, Zhu Di said, “Give a seat.”
Zhang Anshi then owed it to himself to sit down.
Zhu Di said with concern, “How is the royal grandson doing in Raozhou?”
Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Emperor’s grandson has gone out of his way to ……”
Zhu waved his hand, “No need to brag, just tell the truth.”
Zhang Anshi then said, “Your Majesty, this is His Royal Highness the grandson’s sermon, teaching the minister to present it on his behalf.”
Zhang Anshi pulled out the sangha.
Zhu Di heard it, but only smiled, “You can just relay it directly, I don’t need to see it. I nowadays, my eyes are a bit blurry, not as good as before.”
Zhang Anshi, however, said, “Your Majesty, I don’t know what is said in this zhangshi, this is a zhangshi, how dare I go and read it?”
Zhu then nodded and gave Yiluoha a wink.
Also lost Ha will understand, went to fetch the sangs, forwarded to Zhu Di before.
Zhu then looked down for a while, his face was at first kind and peaceful, but in an instant, his face became ugly.
“Outrageous!” Zhu huffed, “What kind of words are these.”
All the ministers could not help but be alarmed, and Hu Guang even said eagerly, “Your Majesty, has something happened to the royal grandson?”
Zhu Di, however, ignored, and looked at the hand of the zhengzhi for a while, turned to look up at Zhang Anshi said, “What does my grandson say?”
“Ah ……” Zhang Anshi said innocently, “Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the grandson didn’t say anything ah, just mentioned some old things with me, and said, for the sake of the people of the world, for the sake of the foundation of the ancestor, he must make this railroad thing He said that for the sake of the people of the world and the foundation of our ancestors, he must make the railroad a success and share the worries of His Majesty. I was very pleased, I encouraged him a lot, told him, life in the world, only loyalty and filial piety, he can be born in the emperor’s family, and now has a heavy responsibility, but loyalty and filial piety can be both, as long as the matter will be done well, not only for the father’s worry, but also to enable His Majesty to be consoled …….”
Zhu Di’s face flickered.
Xie Jin people, clearly feel Zhu Di face is extremely bad, but also seems to be, trying to restrain what.
After a long time, Zhu Di exhaled a breath and said, “Secretary and others leave, Secretary Zhang stays.”
Xie Jin and others do not understand, but also had to obediently leave.
At this time, only Zhu Di, Yiluoha and Zhang Anshi remained in the hall.
Zhu Di, on the other hand, could no longer hold back his anger and cursed, “Why do you want silver again? Fifty million taels of silver, isn’t that enough? My internal money is going to be empty, this is knocking my bones and sucking my marrow!”
Zhang Anshi said with a surprised face, “What, what silver do you need?”
Zhu squinted at him, “You would not know?”
Zhang Anshi said, “I …… don’t know much. Your Majesty, you also know that His Royal Highness the grandson has grown up and has his own opinions. Although the minister is named his uncle, but in fact, after all, he is the dragon grandson, the minister is just a minister, the ruler and minister are different, some words, and do not dare to ask in detail.”
“Yes, he grew up, wings hard.” Zhu Di said: “I just wanted to be angry, but in front of the face of the solution of the Secretary of the people, finally held back, the family ugly after all, teach him to repair the railroad, his railroad, how to repair such expensive? Now, the rise of the railway is a national policy, he is the Jiangxi Railway Division, is a precedent, the world do not know how many people, are watching his every move, if there is any blunder, I’m afraid to be laughed at. Hey ……”
Zhu sighed, his face depressed color back and forth pacing back and forth.
Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty, how much more money and grain is required in this sangha?”
Mentioned this, Zhu Di and feel his fire burst up, annoyed: “But also additional 20 million two, not once 20 million, is 20 million per year …… I work hard to save these internal money, all of them to him, I am afraid that it is not enough, do you want to teach me to borrow not? ”
Zhang Anshi heard this, but said, “Borrowing is not impossible; at worst, I will let the United Money Bank, give a favorable interest rate.”
“Hm?” Zhu Di’s gaze fell on Zhang Anshi like a sword.
Zhang Anshi quickly coughed: “Your Majesty, according to the minister, this example can not be opened, this is just repairing the railroad, Zhanji weekdays is very obedient, today really became this way, or, I went to Raozhou, on behalf of His Majesty severely reprimanded him.”
Chu: “……”
Zhu Di, however, lowered his head, as if he was weighing something with careful thought, he kept pacing back and forth, his face revealed a color of pain and difficulty, as if he was being cut.
After thinking hard for a long time, Zhu Di finally took a deep breath and said, “Also lost ha.”
Yiluoha knew that His Majesty was in a bad mood, so he had been standing silently at the side, and only now did he lower his eyebrows and say, “The slave girl is here.”
Zhu Di said, “Take a good inventory of the internal money, think of a way …… to raise twenty million, not …… eighteen or nine million taels of silver, allocated to the Jiangxi Railway Division, the matter … . don’t make a big fuss.”
“Your Majesty, it must not be ……” Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty, how can you condone …… this?”
Zhu Di took a deep breath, before saying: “I can suffer some poor, but can not suffer the child, in any case, can not teach Huang Huang grandson side, make a joke. Silver is gone, but also can think of ways …… Zhanji weekdays good behavior, should be just a moment did not do the amount of money for the sake of out, the cause of careful calculation. Well, this matter is over, you do not mention it again.”
Zhang Anshi had to say, “Yes.”
Zhu Di then heartbreakingly said: “This time I am also considered to be clean, this year seventy million taels thrown out, from now on ah, prepare to live a hard life.”
Zhang Anshi smiled bitterly, “If it is not because of the minister these two years, will be the family’s silver are taken to the new continent, the development of this new continent, I really hope that immediately come up with a bit of silver, for your majesty to share the worries of one or two ……”
Chu: “……”
Zhu Di was not in the mood for conversation and chatting at this time, so he let Zhang Anshi leave first.
Zhang Anshi had to go away in a grand manner.
After Zhang Anshi and Yiluoha had left, Zhu Di sat alone in a sulky manner, looking preoccupied for half a day.
Finally, also lost ha panting back, said, “Your Majesty, the internal money side, roughly has been calculated, if you take out eighteen million taels, there can still be some of the remaining, but to the next year on ……”
Did not wait for him to go on, Zhu Di then pressed his hand, sighed: “My mausoleum …… want to find a way to see how much can be saved, in addition to the row in Beiping, there is no need to continue to repair, everything from simple …… ”
Yiluoha looked at Zhu Di’s appearance, but also could not help but feel distressed, “Your Majesty, this …… this ……”
Zhu Di sighed and said, “Silver …… is still left for children and grandchildren to spend, bitter a bitter me!”
Yiluoha opened his mouth, and in the end, not a word of persuasion came out, so he had to say, “Yes.”
After thinking about it, also lost ha said, “slave girl side also want to find a way to save some of the use of the palace, the palace side of the slave girl, as well as outside the palace head of the east factory, followed his majesty has lived so many years of good life, it is also should be for his majesty to share the worry of the time.”
Zhu only nodded his head and gave a hmmm.
After a long time, Zhu suddenly said, “Do you think that this is something that Zhang Qing does not know? Or is this simply something that Zhang Qing taught? I know Zhanji’s temperament, I know that he won’t hide anything from his uncle.”
Yiluoha was momentarily stumped by the question.
Zhu Di but sudden kindly smiled, said: “temporarily do not think about these, for Zhang Qing, I also know, this kid ……… pit who, also dare not pit me, more will not pit Zhanji. Into his mother’s, this kid is shrewd ah, silver early sent to Xinzhou.”
Yiluoha couldn’t take it well and could only smile awkwardly.
…………
Zhang Anshi nowadays, occasionally will come to this Wenyuange on duty.
Because of his erratic movements, every time he appeared, it was always a bit of a surprise.
Zhang Anshi in this Wen Yuan Pavilion, quite a bit out of place.
However, the housemates were all very polite to Zhang Anshi.
Sheriff’s official position is not high, most of them are shade position, the status is extremely disproportionate, to put it bluntly, in fact, is equivalent to other Yamen in the clerical officials just, doing errands and miscellaneous things.
But this time, their salaries, followed by a large increase, Zhang Anshi even sympathized with their hard work, that the Cabinet Sheriff, to and from the Palace, hard work, but also low official position, should be increased by three salaries, as care.
In this way, almost every one of these Cabinet Wardens, in private, was ecstatic.
Coupled with this Cabinet, has also begun to prepare for the construction of the building, the construction of the pavilion, now next door to the Wen Yuan Pavilion, the emperor’s decree, set aside more than ten acres of land, the construction of a variety of pavilion facilities, which the Palace, in fact, can not spend a few bucks, but for the office of the university professors as well as the Sheriffs, but it is a big good thing.
Consequently, as soon as Zhang Anshi arrived, there were immediately shepherds who scrambled to be the first to come and salute.
While Zhang Anshi was still greeting people, there was someone who, in a flash, brought a steaming bowl of tea to Zhang Anshi’s duty room.
As for Xie Jin people, although and Zhang Anshi personal relationship is not very good, but the surface is still thoughtful, there are some things, Zhang Anshi as long as the Wen Yuan Pavilion, most of them will also discuss with Zhang Anshi, are quite respectful.
Hu Guang, in particular, was now having a favorable impression of Zhang Anshi, a favorable impression that reached a direct peak after he was invited to the Qixia Medical College for a physical examination.
