Chapter 551: Mo Yan Qian above the court
Bi Gou pestered Zhang Xiaobao and asked Zhang Xiaobao to tell all his plans.
Zhang Xiaobao insisted that Qingshan would not relax, and when he was asked about it, he said a few perfunctory words, for example, the purpose was to let a group of old people, when they were playing, find local specialties, bring them back and give them to themselves, and ponder whether they can be planted, especially precious medicinal materials.
Such a trivial matter is not worth Zhang Xiaobao to care about at all.
As for whether there are any major events, of course there are, but Zhang Xiaobao doesn't want to tell Bi Gou everything, otherwise when he goes out to travel, there are too many things in his heart, and the old people will not have a good time.
Only when it is needed, Zhang Xiaobao will let people send a letter to the old people and ask them to help with it.
Bi Gou saw that he really couldn't ask, so he had to give up for the time being, and continued to fish, today he was on the opposite with the grass carp, and caught a few grass carp in a row, and finally ran out of interest, saying that the other fish in the water were all eaten by the black fish, and walked back with Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao accompanied Bi Gou to the yamen, and by the way, he let people pull the net to fish, but they caught a lot of fish, and all kinds of freshwater fish together can have about 300 catties, and take it back, which can be regarded as an additional dish for the guards at noon.
In fact, not only Zhang Xiaobao eats fish, Hongnong also specially formed a team of net fish, the water rushed, many fish directly with the water into the field, and when the water receded, it would be more difficult to come out.
Where the water is deep, use a net directly, and where the water is shallow, people pull up their trouser legs, take a hook in their hands and go down to plan, and before the food mobilized by Zhang Xiaobao in other places comes, the fish is boiled into soup, and the people who work hard can eat steamed buns or rice.
Bi Gou came in a hurry, got an answer, but couldn't go back in a hurry right away, find a job in the yamen to manage the accounts, and also give full play to the residual heat, take a time out of the day, go to the street where the water has receded, and look at the lively scene of the construction site.
Every time I see people working hard, I must first sigh with emotion, those whose furniture is broken, those who have lost their relatives, have not seen a single complaint, all of them are working hard.
The more this is the case, the more Bi Gou looks at Yan Zheng standing outside the south gate, the more he gritted his teeth, and he can't use a knife to take down the Yan Zheng meat slices at once, and then cook and eat them, but he knows that it will be cheap and solemn.
"Becky is so smart, a good boy." Another day, Bi Gou came to the south gate, looking at the solemnity of being firmly tied, subjected to the wind and sun, his hair was like hemp, his skin was cracked like decay, his eyes were blank, and his mouth was shriveled, and his heart was very relieved.
praised Xiaobei because Xiaobei first asked people to arrest him when he saw Yan Zheng, then knocked out his teeth, and said something that would not let him die happily.
If Xiaobei was ignorant at that time, and asked Yan Zheng to kill him in one sentence, it would be too cheap for him.
Yan Zheng was standing behind the south gate, and he had never seen Bi Gou up close, and at this time he saw that there was one more person beside him, and he was still standing and not leaving, thinking that he was scolding again, and he turned his head to look hard, maybe he could win some sympathy and leave a way for his family to live.
Seeing that it was an old man, with full hair, frosty hair, hands on his back, standing tall, knowing that he was not an ordinary person, with a hoarse, low voice that people could not hear, said: "One person is guilty, one person suffers, and the family does not know." ”
Seeing that the other party didn't even know who he was, Bi Gou sighed and said, "Yanzheng, do you remember the old man?" ”
"You...... You are......? Yan Zheng opened his eyes vigorously, looked at the people around him, and suddenly realized: "You, you are the head of the household, the prince Zhan Shi, Bi Gou, Bi ...... Long Ze, a personnel ...... One person. ”
"Yes, the former household department is still a book, and he was Henan Yin, when the old man was Henan Yin, he didn't encounter anything like Hongnong, the old man thinks he is not a good person, but he can't compare to your ruthlessness, your sin, don't tell the old man, the old man doesn't care."
Bi Construct scolded hard, and suddenly lost that mood.
"Yes...... Protect me...... Young sons and young daughters? Afterlife....... ”
"Sensei and I mention the next life, I only ask in this life, the old man is a farmer, who can't protect anyone, let alone your child, he doesn't dare to protect anyone, Your Majesty personally ordered Zhang Xiaobei and nine people to be here, who dares to interfere?
Your Majesty's edict has been sent to Japan, Your Majesty's edict will come out soon, Japan dares not to let your family come back, Wang Juan dares to gather my Tang elite, with the cooperation of gunboats to attack Japan, even if the lives are ruined, which cares about the bloodstained mountains and rivers.
However, maybe Zhang Xiaobao will be soft-hearted and be flexible, but you have to live first, live like now, otherwise if you die, Zhang Xiaobao will let your family suffer instead of you, you should eat, you should sleep, don't let people use force. ”
Bi Gou intimidated him, threatened his family again, and walked away with his hands behind his back.
Yan Zheng behind him, a trace of hope appeared in his dim eyes, and he shouted: "I want to drink porridge, drink porridge, I want to live." ”
Bi Gou really didn't know, when he was on the train, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan discussed countermeasures, made an example for others, and drowned Yan Zheng's family, in fact, they would take them away, far away, out of Datang.
Zhang Xiaobao was really reluctant to kill Yanzheng's daughter, and he was afraid that he would not destroy the door, and the deterrent power was not enough.
Bi Gou was afraid that Yan Zheng's mind would not be able to keep up and die, so he would not be able to show it to others, and he needed to live for every official who served in the local area in the future.
Zhang Xiaobao in the yamen has just sorted out the case book, and the Henan Provincial officials involved in this incident have a total of 613 people from top to bottom, up to the third grade, down to the ninth grade, the crime is severe, and the punishment is life and death, but they must all be taken to Chang'an, some are already on the way, and some are close, and they are temporarily detained.
"There will be a large number of people, no matter how light the crime is, after Li Longji has issued his own edict, he can't continue to stay in the official position, I plan to place the people who have been admitted to Pujia Academy in an important position, how do I have to tell Li Longji."
Zhang Xiaobao put the list on the table and became worried.
Wang Juan touched the roster with his hand and shook his head: "More than 600 people, shocking, really shocking." ”
"Okay, okay, don't say it's shocking, Henan Province is not Henan Province, there are other places, such as Shandong, there are only more than 600 people, the entire Henan Province, large and small officials, no less than 10,000, I am very pleased, the proportion is not large, I dare to arrest."
What I'm most afraid of is that there is no good official, so I am troubled by choosing who to arrest and who not to arrest, of course, when encountering international fraudsters, I must catch the drops, who makes him rich, there is no foundation on the top, there is no fear, the above can be picked up.
But this time I just don't arrest the Japanese, arrest them, it seems that I am too incompetent, and I still need to arrest them to clean them up? I can cooperate with you to attack because I don't like Japan, but I will never admit that I have no ability, and I will directly do it to the little people who can't find faults. ”
Zhang Xiaobao's face was full of disdain, shaking his head like a master.
"Let's cook, yesterday Xiaobei asked someone to send a lot of willow mushrooms from Old Willow Village, I want to eat stewed chicken nuggets with willow mushrooms." As soon as Wang Juan heard that Zhang Xiaobao was going to say something else, he hurriedly asked him to cook.
When Zhang Xiaobao walked to the back kitchen, he also said: "Who do you blame if the country is not good?" The husband is responsible, the country is right, it is not the same, and it is strong; The country has no way, it will not change until death, and it will be strong and delicate. ”
"I'm just talking, I haven't changed, you don't know how the money I cheated was spent, some officials are not as good as me as a liar, I changed first.
Also stewed chicken nuggets with willow mushrooms? Xiaobei can't say such stupid words, willow mushrooms stew chicken nuggets, what are hazel mushrooms and pine mushrooms stewed? This is a real mushroom growing on a willow tree, the children of the old willow village gave it to Xiaobei, and it takes an average of several old willow trees to give birth to a mushroom, so I stewed it?
Wait, I'm making spicy tang today, people say, three thousand wicker branches, willow mushrooms to eat, stews are old soup flavor, shabu vegetables are fresh, eat willow mushrooms to eat is a fresh, is a tender, if you don't believe it, you shabu pine mushrooms, that is, red mushrooms to eat, see what the texture is, what taste.
Where is it still the Tang Dynasty? I'm a big man, full of talent, and I actually let people be cooks to call me, people's hearts are not ancient, they are really people's hearts. ”
Zhang Xiaobao shook his head and pushed the door, leaving Wang Juan sitting there snickering, laughing, looking at the location of the back kitchen, and muttering sweetly: "Just bully you, and you are full of talent, I think it's just a bad stomach, don't say it's Datang, even if you run to the primitive society, you have to cook for me, rely on you, hum!" ”
At noon, he said that he was eating Malatang, so he had to eat it, but Zhang Xiaobao was not stupid enough to wear all the skewers by himself, so he found a few helpers to wear the skewers, and he made the spicy soup by himself.
All kinds of things that can be used as traditional Chinese medicine are fried by him as seasonings, and people squeeze pepper oil, not to fry peppercorns with oil, but to squeeze oil out of peppercorns like soybean oil.
Then use the mutton bones to boil the soup, boil it and take the chicken minced soup, boil the crucian carp soup in another pot, hang it again, and then put it together, so that it can be used as a spicy shabu soup, like the kind of soup cooked with water and seasonings, Zhang Xiaobao disdains to get it.
Busy, Zhang Xiaobao got the spicy soup stock, and Bi Gou also happened to come back, sniffing first as soon as he entered the door, and praised: "Xiang, I won't make the little crucian carp I finally caught yesterday, right?" I'm going to raise it in a wooden basin and eat it. ”
"Grandpa Bi, the crucian carp you said was made into a base soup by Xiaobao." Wang Juan immediately sued.
Bi Gou looked at the soup and shook his head: "No, the crucian carp is milky white, don't bully the old man, I don't understand, your soup is not the color of the seasoning and the color of chili oil, it should be a clear soup." ”
Zhang Xiaobao came in with a plate of willow mushrooms and held his mouth: "Grandpa Bi, who did you see after hanging the soup, and the soup was not clear?" If you don't believe me, don't eat it yet, I'll continue to hang it, and hang a pot of soup into a clear soup for you. ”
"Believe, believe, the old man is hungry and can't afford to toss, so you say that the lake named Qinghai that you and Juan Juan occupied in Anxi will be hung from a saltwater lake into a freshwater lake, and I will also believe the old man."
Bi Gocai doesn't care what Xiaobao does, it's good to eat it, even if it's a simple scrambled egg with garlic sprouts, he believes that Xiaobao's scrambled eggs will be delicious.
A small plate was placed in front of Bi Gou after a simple freshening, with sesame paste, shrimp paste, oyster sauce, a little rice wine and bean curd, as well as green onion foam and minced garlic, and several rows of small bowls next to it, which contained various things, such as ginger juice for seafood, coriander foam and pepper paste for shabu mutton, mustard and soybean soy sauce for dry sashimi, and so on.
Wang Juan went to choose the seasoning by himself, and Zhang Xiaobao's plate was simple, only garlic sauce.
Don't look at the hundreds of spices are all prepared by him, but he doesn't like to eat them, put some soy sauce and garlic because there is lamb liver in the shabu-shabu, otherwise he won't put anything, if he feels light, then put some salt foam.
If it weren't for Wang Juan's heavy mouth and his penchant for eating things with strong flavors, he would even directly make a seafood hot pot with clear soup, only eat that fresh, not even salt, or eat raw after killing bacteria and parasites.
Bi Gou eats fragrantly, he doesn't care about Xiaobao's lack of dipping materials, he knows that Xiaobao's mastery of seasonings is rarely comparable, and the same is true for cooking.
"Ha~! Call~! Wine, put more ice fish, ah~! Spicy, Xiaobao, there are five days left, autumn is coming, it's time to go back to Beijing, right? Yes~! ”
Bi Gou added sesame oil and red oil to the plate while snorting, and someone next to him handed over wine with ice at any time.
Zhang Xiaobao was very helpless about Bi Gou's style, said 'Ming'er Hui', got up and went to make a cold dish for Bi Gou's cucumber peel and shredded bamboo shoots, he was really afraid that there would be something wrong with Bi Gou's spicy food.
All kinds of materials have been sent to Hongnong, Zhang Xiaobao has no time to follow, and the inner courtyard will take over.
The people of Sinong Temple came early, signed a contract with the local land-owned people, after the new seeds were planted, no matter how much the yield was, one could not be eaten by the people themselves, and the other could not be sold by the people, and it should be handed over to the people of Sinong Temple, if the yield is high, it will be promoted elsewhere next year, and the yield will be low, and it will be brought back for study.
The people only care about the service and get paid, and Sinong Temple has money.
The people in charge of building the railroad have already planned the place, and wherever the railway will pass, they are not allowed to farm, plant and build houses, and still less deliberately destroy and dig pits.
There will also be a place where a market will be formed in the future, and a large area will be circled, and the land will be planted for the time being, and if necessary, it will be cut down at any time.
In Lao Liushu Village, Xiaobei and his party waited for the people who took care of the children, packed their bags, brought many dolls to be sold back to the capital, and said goodbye to the other children in tears.
Xiaobei agreed with the other party that when the weather is warm next year, she will either come with nine people, or let people find children to play where she is, and every time someone comes to pick up the doll and send it to sell elsewhere in the future, she will bring all kinds of seafood.
Early the next morning, Xiaobei's team rushed to the train station, joined his brother's team, boarded the train, and headed for the capital with a booming sound.
"Brother, don't you see the guy named Watanabe Eleven, who is stupid, and wants to treat others as fools, with thirty thousand yuan of money every Chinese New Year's Eve, he wants to bribe us, do you think I can do it?"
Becky sat across from her brother, put a boiled egg on the table in the middle, and showed her cleverness to her brother.
"Can't do it, our Xiaobei is not stupid, eat quickly, say that you will eat a boiled egg a day, I heard that when you were in the old willow village, the implementation was not thorough enough." Zhang Xiaobao pointed to the egg in his sister's hand and wanted to take it and peel it.
Xiaobei hurriedly stretched out his hands to protect him: "Wait, wait, wait a while, let me adjust my mood and eat hot sauce, okay?" Brother, who told you that I didn't eat eggs? ”
"It's all said, the joint report, all the handprints, do you want to take a look, the boiled eggs you eat still brew emotions? Throw it out of the cart and I'll make you a steamed egg paste. Zhang Xiaobao wanted to get up and go to the dining car of the train.
"No, I don't like to eat yellow boiled eggs, I love yellow salted eggs, I drink some water, eat it, I can't throw it, I don't look at the joint one, in fact, I know who it is, who cares about me, who is the best to me, who will tell you first, brother, can you find a way to make the yellow of boiled eggs delicious, you are so good."
Xiaobei was reluctant to throw away an egg, she knew that there were still people who couldn't eat eggs, so she turned her head and gave her brother another problem, which she thought was difficult.
How do you know that her brother Zhang Xiaobao didn't think much about it, and immediately nodded: "Yes, it's too simple, cut the boiled eggs, take out the yellow first, stuff the meat filling in the concave place of the two egg whites, cover the yellow back, fry the egg whites in the oil pan, fry them yellow, and then steam the stuffing in the pot, pour the juice after cooking, and the Qing and Huang will be delicious, so I will do this in the future, and make the nine of you together." ”
Xiaobei nodded again and again when he heard this, his eyes were full of admiration, in order to eat yellow, he could do it so tediously.
Wang Juan took Xiaobei's eggs and peeled them on the side, and said to Xiaobei: "Look at what your brother has spoiled you, Xiaobei, I heard that you almost compromised with that Watanabe Eleven." ”
Xiaobei took the peeled egg, dipped it in the hot sauce sent, took a bite first, swallowed it, and said: "I thought he was going to take 100 million yuan, 100 million yuan, not 100 million Wen, I was happy at first, who knew that he couldn't take out a poor thing, which made me angry." ”
"In the future, there will be something like this time, someone really gives you 100 million, we don't want it." Zhang Xiaobao said on the other side.
Xiaobei didn't understand: "Why? Take 100 million yuan to atone for your sins, don't do it in vain. ”
"Xiaobei, my sister asked you, did he take out the money to bribe because he harmed the people of our Datang?" Wang Juan asked.
Becky nodded.
"So, we can't ask for that money, you see that your brother never makes money on the premise of harming the people of the Tang Dynasty." Wang Juan continued to teach.
"What's the connection?" Becky apparently didn't figure it out.
"Yes, Xiaobei, and Xiaohai, you all remember that your brother has countless unconventional means to make money, but none of them are used in Datang.
If it is really to make money by harming the interests of Datang, your brother does not need to use other people's hands, and their means are not worth mentioning in front of your brother. ”
Wang Juan smiled smugly, pointed to Zhang Xiaobao and said to the nine children.
"Really? So, the Japanese are not powerful? Becky looked at her brother as if she had found a new toy.
"The Japanese? The Japanese don't need your brother to make any calculations, I'll clean them up, little trick. But I haven't seen futures and warrants? What's more, the one made by Japan is full of loopholes. Becky, do you remember the world in the story I told you? ”
Wang Juan looked down on the Japanese, and asked Xiaobei again.
"Remember, it's so powerful, the people there, there are big iron birds sitting in the sky, and they can throw things to the moon, if a few people from that world come to my Datang, sister, can you and your brother still handle it?"
Xiaobei blinked her eyes, and in her mind were the patterns that Wang Juan had drawn for her, and she was very worried.
Wang Juan pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "There are indeed powerful top people there, but even they have to tremble when they know that the opponent is your brother, in that group of people, your brother may not be the first, but no one dares to treat him as the second."
There, if your brother were to go bankrupt, he would have to have countless of his enemies with him.
Therefore, in the future, if someone bribes you on the premise of harming the interests of Datang, we don't want any amount of money, our family's money must be earned steadily, and there are more crops in the land, more livestock and poultry, and more things plundered from outside, so our family's money will naturally follow. ”
Xiaobei listened with enthusiasm: "Sister, it turns out that my brother is so powerful, but how do you know?" There's no comparison, ha, you and your brother won't come from that world, right? ”
Becky told the truth.
"Guess right, where did your brother and I come from to protect you little guys, if we don't come, who spoils you, isn't it?" Wang Juan followed Xiaobei's words.
"Yes, yes, then you go to a more powerful world, remember to take me, I will also compare with them, stand on the sword, swish to the world where I can fly to the stars, when the time comes, I will have a Qiankun Zhenhai wheel in my left hand, a star gossip banner in my right hand, and a ...... on my feet."
Xiaobei entered her own fantasy and told her brother and sister about the dream she had weaved.
The round moon shone in the sky, as soon as the train entered the station, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan immediately took their younger brothers and sisters into the palace, and the palace gate that should have been closed was set aside to leave an opening, Li Longji had not slept yet, and was waiting in Xingqing Palace.
He wanted to get the latest news and the most exact details from the mouths of Zhang Xiaobao and others, and the news that came before couldn't be too specific after all.
Xiaobei, on behalf of the nine children, was the first to speak, telling Li Longji how she got the order to rush to Hongnong immediately, and how she swam across the water and saw a child in the school, and then how Yan Zheng wanted to deceive her, she cleaned up Yan Zheng, and also sold Li Longji the dolls in Lao Liushu Village, and finally mentioned that she lent out all the money of 1.3 million yuan.
Li Longji was also indignant when he listened to Xiaobei's introduction, said a few cruel words against the officials, and praised Xiaobei for all nine people, but he seemed to have forgotten the 1.3 million yuan mentioned by Xiaobei.
When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan began to introduce the reconstruction situation to Li Longji, Xiaobei stuck to Xiaoyuan's side and muttered: "I don't want to return the money to us when I see it, let's bring a few more dolls over tomorrow and exchange them with the ladies in the palace, their worst things are also higher than the cost of dolls." ”
"I already knew that it wouldn't be given to us, tomorrow I guess I'm going to read at home, don't think about it, how much money can I get in exchange for a doll, when I was in the car, didn't my brother say that he wanted to build an amusement park under our control, that would be the most profitable, and after the Japanese compensated, maybe my brother would give us the money."
Xiao Yuan had a clear expression.
Xiaobei hesitated and said: "Brother really gave us money, or don't want it, I said to take the money, I didn't expect others to pay it back, and you also supported me, didn't you?" ”
"Yes, support you, but if the Japanese pay for it, why not, if we have money, the next time we encounter no one to pay us back, we will take it out, otherwise we will have no money to use if we encounter an emergency." Xiaoyuan expressed his opinion.
"That's good, if you really lose it, go back tonight and go to bed first, sleep enough, tomorrow we will discuss the matter of the downstream park, I plan to take out our small house and rent it out." Xiaobei also began to plan to work hard to make money.
"It's agarwood, which can be made of other wood according to our house, and the decoration inside is replaced by something cheap." Xiaoyuan was obviously reluctant to rent the house to other children to play with.
"That's right, think of another way." Becky bowed her head in contemplation.
Zhang Xiaobao was still talking to Li Longji, he didn't mention too much about the arrested officials, and he didn't need to take care of it when he was sent to the capital.
He needed Li Longji's cooperation to exert pressure on Japan, send 200,000 railroad workers to Datang as soon as possible, and improve the tariff system, so that he could carry out unequal economic trade and plunder.
Li Longji listened carefully and let people write down them one by one, and now he has become more pragmatic under the influence of Zhang Xiaobao.
It's not good to have a false face, but is willing to build a real face.
The so-called actual face of construction is what Zhang Xiaobao told him, if you have money, you can build as high as you can, how atmospheric, how grandiose.
When you have nothing to do, go out to travel, feel the magnificence of the great rivers and mountains, go to Hainan, experience the summer scenery of winter, play sea fishing, go to Taihu Lake to catch crabs, and then look at the tide in the tide of Qiantang, go to the grassland, and enjoy the high clouds in the sky.
This is the face, compared to giving a lot of money to your subordinates, people will scold you for being stupid behind your back, and you will be worthy of yourself if you spend the money.
Li Longji was fooled like this, if someone asked him who was the best person in Datang, he would definitely say that he was himself, and then Zhang Xiaobao would be next.
Other courtiers are afraid of spending money on their own, so they need to be persuaded to build a garden, and they want to be admonished when they go out for a walk, which is comparable to Zhang Xiaobao, not only do they not persuade, but also encourage, and find a way to get money, the court can't get the money, and people are willing to pay for it.
Therefore, in order to fight against that very powerful country in the future, in order to be able to go out and play, to build beautiful houses, Li Longji paid more and more attention to technology and money, oh, to the development of science and technology and economic development.
As for the construction of spiritual civilization, this Zhang Xiaobao is not worried, the Tang Dynasty is still very strict in this regard, people are doing morally unhelpful things, and they will blush if they are accused, and the emperor also knows that officials do not do things well, and some local people will suffer disasters, and they will be punished.
Li Longji has not yet learned the righteousness of materialism and the ability to not admit that he has done wrong, and he is a good emperor in Zhang Xiaobao's heart.
"Xiaobao." When Li Longji imagined how fragrant the pie painted by Zhang Xiaobao, he asked: "Is it that the railway has been repaired, and it will take very little time to go from the capital to the north of Hebei Province, and there will not be too many guards?" ”
"Your Majesty, you can't just think about going to the northern part of Hebei Province, where there are few good scenery, you can see the ice shallow fish break out, easily hang snow dew, tigers roar and the mountains are quiet, and galloping red deer."
Zhang Xiaobao belittled the Northeast, and Wang Juan immediately cooperated: "Xiaobao is right, and there is no style in the northern part of Hebei Province, it is nothing more than the scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, the rivers and mountains there may not be much delicate, although it has also led countless heroes to bend their waists." ”
"Xiaobao, hand it over to Shidier, how long will it take to go on a trip, after the railway is repaired." Li Longji was moved by the two people's words.
"I estimate it, according to the current steam engine power, from Chang'an, to Jili Prefecture, you have to travel for ten years, about ten days, there is a place in Jili Prefecture, the sand is fine, the distance of shallow water is very long, there are white gulls than light clouds, and the silverfish are like hanging jackets, the reef is not outside the sky, and the pearls are everywhere."
Zhang Xiaobao said smoothly, and said to Wang Juan again: "I've seen too much greasy, right?" ”
Wang Juan nodded.
"Not far, not far, just ten days, plus play, one month is enough, if you don't play, you will go next time." Li Longji couldn't wait to plug in the right wings at the moment and fly over to take a look.
Zhang Xiaobao struck while the iron was hot: "Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty is yours, it's not easy for you to go?" You are the emperor, it is normal for the emperor to see that he is in the country, it is too slow to go to Jili Prefecture in ten days, and the new steam engine will come out, even if you go to Luzhou, as long as the railway is repaired, I will guarantee you to the place in five days. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, when you arrive in Luzhou, you can see the real blue sea and silver sand, see the coconut grove in the evening, the sea and the sky are the same, and the fishing boats sing at night." Wang Juan followed.
Li Longji knew that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were tempting him, but he also knew that people were not lying, the place they said was really beautiful, yes, he was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, why couldn't he go and see it?
Isn't it money, the imperial court's treasury income is getting more and more, even if the ministers oppose it, Xiaobao's family has money, and it can't cost him a little money, especially with a radio station, where can he not manage the government?
Thinking like this, Li Longji asked Zhang Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, if the imperial court can't give up all the money for the construction of the railway, will your family ......?" ”
Li Longji's words were not finished, and the meaning was clearly expressed.
Xiaobei pouted on the side: "Xiaoyuan, how can there be such a thing, the emperor's uncle doesn't mention our money, but also asks our family to pay, my brother can make money, if my brother can't make money, what should I do?" ”
Xiao Yuan clicked his mouth twice: "If my brother can't make money, we have to live a hard life, there are no longer so many guards when we go out, and the inner courtyard can't change shifts every few hours, we have to be busy from morning to night, it's too scary to think about." ”
Xiaobei may have thought of the consequences of running out of money, and his frightened little face turned white all of a sudden, and he said in fear: "Fortunately, the current days are not dreams." ”
Zhang Xiaobao couldn't hear the words of his younger siblings, and after listening to Li Longji, he responded: "Your Majesty, if you need my family to pay money, my family will definitely pay it, however, my family and the treasury don't need to spend money, and it is very simple to raise the cost of repairing the railway, money, not a problem." ”
Li Longji bowed: "I like to listen to Xiaobao." ”
The people serving around him thought so, who didn't like to hear Zhang Xiaobao say 'money, not a problem'?
"That'...... Go fix it as soon as possible. Li Longji urged.
"Your Majesty, the matter of money is easy to solve, Datang Qianzhuang has money, you don't want the money in it, I have been helping you operate, I only say that the real profit you get every year is not less than the treasury, not to mention that when the reserves for deposit and withdrawal and borrowing reach a certain proportion, there is a lot of money that can be withdrawn at any time.
Even railways can directly issue bonds, and if the railways are repaired and the trains are operated, whether they are pulling people or only carrying goods, as long as there is not too much self-interest in it, and there is not too much money that damages the public for the benefit of oneself, the money for the construction of the railway can be earned back soon. So....... ”
Wang Juan took over: "So, Your Majesty, you will look for Xiaobao in the future, don't worry about money, Xiaobao is afraid of everything, you are not afraid of lack of money, Xiaobao means that if you build a railway, you will die, parents will lose their children, wives and concubines will lose their husbands, and children will lose their fathers, which is too heavy for a family."
The reason why I fought so hard was because I wanted to deter others and fight less in the future. If I don't fight, it doesn't mean that I'm afraid, I'm reluctant, I really force me to do it, and my Tang Dynasty men are not short of blood. Anyone whose Tang soldiers come to the city and surrender without opening their own will be slaughtered if the city is broken. ”
Wang Juan's previous words made Li Longji very pleased, but the latter words were a little scary.
Li Longji also knew that Wang Juan attached great importance to the lives of his soldiers and gave a lot of bereavement benefits, so much that a few people were willing to take the initiative to die in battle, but Zhang Xiaobao's ruthlessness was not external to the inside.
Then he said: "There are juanjuan here, and I am worried about my Tang Dynasty, didn't I say that 200,000 people from Japan should come over to build the railway?" Inadequate? In this way, there are Kunlun Nu, who are strong, I will find a way to let people from other places around come over to help build the road, and I, the people of the Tang Dynasty, will supervise it on the side, but no. ”
Zhang Xiaobao no matter what the past history said about Li Longji, he only knew that Li Longji in front of him made him very comfortable, the emperor, he had to have the appearance of an emperor, what kind of emperor is the emperor who doesn't love the people.
"If Your Majesty has the words to refine steel for the ministers, even if some of the minerals reserved by the Tang Dynasty are used, if Your Majesty mobilizes millions of non-Datang craftsmen for the ministers, and the ministers make military orders, within a year, the railway will be built for 30,000 miles, and the ministers will not worry about money, and the ministers will only have no manpower available."
Zhang Xiaobao said ruthlessly, a million workers build 30,000 miles of roads, an average of 100 people repair 3 miles a year, 3 miles, not 3 kilometers, less than 1,500 meters, about 1,400 meters, 100 people can't repair 4 meters a day?
Li Longji didn't want Zhang Xiaobao to set up any military order, and said: "No need, just do your best, just do your best, 30,000 miles, where can you repair?" ”
"From the capital to Jili Prefecture, plus from the capital to Luzhou, you can also repair other places." Zhang Xiaobao calculated it and felt that there was still something left.
"Is it possible to go to Tibet?" Li Longji asked again.
Zhang Xiaobao's head shook like a rattle: "The technology to build railways in that place can't be reached, if you want to go, it's better to take a boat." ”
Wang Juan also nodded: "Tubo is really not good, and it is impossible to cross the Yellow River and the Yangtze River directly, and it is impossible to take the bridge directly, and it is necessary to change to a boat." ”
