"Whose hands are they all into...... Is there a difference? Zhang Tianlu also thought that Liu Hongjian was deliberately interrupting, and he was very serious.

"Of course! The difference is huge! Liu Hong gradually glanced at Zhang Tianlu and said disdainfully.

"One of the major costs of building roads is the wages of millions of migrant workers, who are paid to feed their families, and they use this money to buy firewood, rice, oil, and salt to live, so that the merchants can make a profit.

And the merchants wanted me to pay commercial taxes under the Ming Law, and the imperial court also benefited from this.

Another major cost of road construction is the use of materials, the main material is cement concrete, and the cement workshop of Xishan Shanghe also supports thousands of workers and craftsmen, and Xishan Shanghe also pays a huge amount of commercial taxes to the households.

Although the toll of the new official road is meager, it is a trickle, and you will realize the benefits in two years.

Isn't it more conducive to the development of the Ming Dynasty that the silver flows to the people than being hoarded in the pockets of profiteers? ”

Liu Hong gradually enumerated the benefits of currency circulation, in fact, at this time, it was much less difficult to achieve long-term peace and stability than in later generations, because the people only wanted food and clothing, and they could feed their families, so no one made trouble.

As long as the fundamentals can be preserved, the rest of the imperial court will be fine.

"But Lord Wang, as far as the lower officials know, at least 10 million taels of silver from cultivating the official road in the past year have flowed into the pockets of Xishan Shanghe."

Zhang Tianlu didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning of his words was obvious, you Anguo County King kept saying that the silver flowed into the hands of the people, but in fact, nearly one-third of it went into the pockets of you and the Duke of Britain and the Duke of Qianguo, how can you say this?

He knows Liu Hongji's temperament, in fact, from the bottom of his heart, Zhang Tianlu has always been a little worried about Liu Hongji, but he has seen Liu Hongji's thunderbolt methods.

This...... Liu Hong was gradually choked by his own words, he has been busy with the affairs of the water master recently, and he really hasn't paid attention to how much money Xishan Shanghe has earned recently.

It's just that Liu Hongjian hasn't figured out how to refute yet, and Zhu Cihong can't sit still.

"Okay, Zhang Aiqing, now I'm talking about the formation of a water division, don't go off-topic." Zhu Cihong said to Zhang Tianlu expressionlessly.

Joke! Zhu Cihong is the major shareholder of Xishan Commercial Cooperation, and he also has a controlling stake, although this guy doesn't know what a controlling stake is, but he only knows that the British public has recently given him a lot of money.

What do you mean by Zhang Tianlu? Do you say I'm a profiteer? Do you say that I compete with the people for profit?

Of course, Zhang Tianlu was a former minister of the East Palace, and according to the etiquette system, he was his teacher, and Zhu Cihong didn't want to embarrass Zhang Tianlu.

"Now although the territory of the Ming Dynasty is peaceful, all parts of the country are also the color of glory, but there are still strong enemies overseas, you Aiqing must not take it lightly.

In my opinion, this Nanyang sailor has to be built, what do you think Aiqing thinks? After speaking, Zhu Cihong looked at the courtiers.

After hearing this, Zhang Tianlu felt as uncomfortable as eating a mouse feces, even if he pulled the shelf, as the emperor, he said that it was necessary to form the Nanyang Naval Division, who would dare to say no?

The issue of Xishan Shanghe's shares has always been a secret of Liu Hongji, and no one except for the five parties knows about it, mainly for the sake of royal decency, and Zhu Cihong knows this very well.

Now that he has obtained the benefits, and the people below are being attacked, he naturally refuses to sit idly by.

Of course, this is also Liu Hongji's initial cunning, the money is divided, but this is tantamount to getting a gold medal for himself and the British princess.

If Zhang Tianlu knew about this relationship, I don't know how he would feel.

After Zhu Cihong expressed his opinion, no one among the courtiers stood up to oppose it, and the lesson of blood told them that the gun shot the first bird.

The current court is not the court of the past, and if the emperor is angry, he will not necessarily die, but he can't run away from the office, and it is better to die than to live, after all, the salary is really not low.

"Then the matter of forming Nanyang is so decided, Liu Qing, as soon as it is needed, it can be discussed with the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households." Zhu Cihong glanced at Liu Hong and said.

"Obey the order!" Liu Hong hurriedly responded to the errand knowing it.

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that the Nanyang Naval Division could be built, but it was inappropriate to use the remnants of the Zheng family as the Admiral of the Naval Division.

The Zheng family has plagued the southeast for more than 20 years, and has not paid a penny of silver to the imperial court. ”

Cheng Zhi, a scholar of the Jianji Palace and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward and bowed.

At that time, Gao Jie fornicated with Li Zicheng's wife and was arrested by Lao Li, and he was afraid of being liquidated by Lao Li, so he took his wife to the imperial court.

However, Gao Jie's banditry is difficult to change, and he used the weapons and money and food issued by the court to increase his own strength, not only did not obey the dispatch of the imperial court, but also repeatedly disturbed the people, and even did not hesitate to kill the people for personal gain.

Now that the Zheng family is coming to vote, isn't it the same as the original Gao Jie?

Your Zheng family was not a bird in the imperial court, and now that you are in trouble as the commander of the Nanyang Naval Division, who can guarantee that this group of people will not have two hearts and take the silver of the imperial court to really do things for the imperial court?

Cheng Zhi had a problem, he looked sad and seemed to be really thinking about the court, but after speaking, he glanced at Zhang Tianlu again, it was obvious that this guy was looking for a place for the old boss.

In fact, many times the ministers of the imperial court are like this, they are all high-sounding and for the country and the people on the surface, but in fact, they are all disguises, and in fact they are not for personal interests or party interests.

"Master Cheng, this king asks you, have you seen Gao Jieqi?" Liu Hong snorted coldly in his heart and said very politely.

"Gao Jie and his people have been with the court since he received the official position, where can the officials go to see him?"

"Haven't you seen it before? So have you met Zheng Sen of the Zheng family? Liu Hong gradually asked.

"The Zheng family hasn't been here either......"

"I haven't seen it before." Before Cheng Zhi could finish speaking, Liu Hong gradually interrupted him.

As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing, and even Sage Confucius would never define and label others so arbitrarily.

Gao Jie is Gao Jie, Zheng Sen is Zheng Sen, there is no intersection between the two, what is the comparison?

Lord Cheng, with all due respect, setting up labels and regional blackness is the most brainless act of ignorance, and pride and prejudice are not written in the book of sages, but they are vividly expressed by you. After speaking, Liu Hong gradually paused, and when he saw Cheng Zhi's face flushed, he immediately continued.

"Zheng Sen, the current helmsman of the Zheng family, is a disciple of Qian Qianyi, and he is a proud protégé of Lord Qian.

When the king was in Nanjing, he met Zheng Sen and had a long conversation with him, and this person had a unique insight and was not the same as his father Zheng Zhilong.

In the battle of Sulu, Zheng Zhilong and other veterans of the Zheng family were killed and wounded, and the Zheng family had a common enmity with Francois and the Netherlands, which was one of them.

Zheng Sen has always had the ambition to serve the country and was not allowed by his father, and now his father died in battle, Zheng Sen no longer has shackles, and the Zheng family would rather die than surrender when they are exhausted, and the minister believes in Zheng Sen's character.

It is Yichen who asserted that Zheng Sen's ambition to serve the country is not a lie, and his people can be used and can be of great use! ”

After speaking, Liu Hongjian no longer looked at Cheng Zhi's face, but turned to face Zhu Cihong, he was sending a signal to Xiao Zhu.

Although Qian Qianyi was notorious for being too cold, it was after the destruction of the capital city and when Jiannu hit Nanjing.

Now because Liu Hong gradually fell from the sky, the wheel of history has long been deviated, and Qian Qianyi has no chance to test whether the water is cool or not.

Although Qian Qianyi, as a Donglin boss, was excluded in Nanjing, but as a popular candidate for the cabinet that year, his reputation was really good.

"What the prince said is false, seeing is believing, this is true, but how can the lower officials believe that what the prince says is true?

Since the Zheng family is attached to the imperial court, why don't they see any Zheng family members enter the court to serve their allegiance? "Cheng Zhi's way of others is also to govern his body, and he does not follow the way.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Sen and the main generals of the Zheng family are already waiting outside the noon gate!" Liu Hong gradually glanced at Cheng Zhidao.

"Oh? Announce them to the temple! ”
