Chapter 665: Comedy

Shen Ao opened the box of maritime politics, and the world has been full of vested interests in maritime affairs; And these people are the huge driving force that drives the trend of the world. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info(w/w/w.. c/o/m) Shen Ao found that he couldn't help himself.

Wu Wencai's words were very simple, he wanted Shen Ao to make a decision immediately, whether to be a hero or a capable minister. If you want to be a capable minister, these voices that are running for him must be suppressed as quickly as possible, but if you are a hero, you must also take precautions and prepare in advance.

Shen Ao was silent. In fact, although he killed people quickly, when it came to the palace change, Shen Ao had to hesitate.

Wu Wencai said: "Now that there is such a fierce uproar, sooner or later it will be transmitted to Bianjing, what will the prince think?" Your Highness always has to give a word of approval, so that those of us who are below us can be prepared. Wu Wencai's gaze gradually became bolder, he looked directly at Shen Ao, licked his lips and said: "If Your Highness wants to be a capable minister, Wu has nothing to say, but Your Highness ...... Wu is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses, Fujian Road, Suhang Road, Xixia, Khitan hometown, Guangnan Road, all with His Royal Highness's horse head is looking forward. ”

After Shen Ao was silent, he finally got up and said, "When it comes to this, if Zhao Heng doesn't give me a choice, I won't give him a choice." The preparations that should be made, you can do it, both hands are ready, it is naturally good to be a capable minister, if you can't do it, then let the future generations laugh and scold. ”

Cao Cao was laughed and scolded by later generations, and so was Wang Mang, didn't Zhao Kuangyin be blamed? Shen Ao's bottom line is not to push yourself too much, bite whoever is urgent, Shen Lengzi is not a joke.

Shen Ao came out of the Haizheng Yamen, took Zhou Heng and other guards directly home, as early as a few years ago, Shen Ao bought a mansion in Quanzhou New Town, Zhao Ji willed, the Shen family and the people also came to Quanzhou with the prince of Bianjing, Shen Ao stationed in front of the mansion, saw this new mansion, the porter saw Shen Ao come back, while greeting, while quickly going to report to the family members of the house.

When Shen Ao entered, he found that An Ning had lost a little weight, and he felt pity and forbearance in his heart, and hugged her for a long time of relief, and then he thought of Zhao Ji again, and became melancholy again.

In the next few days, Shen Ao went to the palace every day to see the driver, Zhao Ji's health became worse and worse, and later, sometimes even the words were blurred, and Shen Ao was even more unhappy in his heart; Only take out the money and collect famous paintings everywhere for Zhao Ji's pastime, since the last time he talked about the prince, since then the two of them seem to have a tacit understanding, they no longer touch these heavy topics, just talk about books and paintings, sometimes Shen Ao sits in front of the couch and listens to Zhao Ji say some words of remembrance.

Seeing that the thin old man was getting less and less angry, Shen Ao wanted to cry, but he couldn't; I want to laugh, but I feel far-fetched. came to Quanzhou, served Zhao Ji wholeheartedly, had no interest, didn't even know what was going on outside, sometimes Yang Jian talked to him, and he just responded with uh-huh.

"I have been an emperor for so many years, I only know that I am lonely and widowed in the cave of the palace, and I really don't know what it is like to be an emperor, is my country really rich and rich?" One day, Zhao Ji was lying on the couch, his body was getting worse and worse, his eyes could only be closed, he coughed a few times, and continued: "I really want to see, to see what my world is like." ”

Shen Ao's heart moved, and he said, "Your Majesty wants to see it, why don't you go and see it with your own eyes?" ”

"It's late......" Zhao Ji said with regret: "I am ...... like this"

Shen Ao was anxious, Zhao Ji's slow speech really made him unbearable, he interrupted Zhao Ji and said: "Your Majesty should take a look at this appearance, and the people also want to see Your Majesty, this matter is decided, and three days later, Your Majesty will go out of the palace to parade." ”

Zhao Ji was also moved by Shen Ao's encouragement, and said, "Okay, I'll go." ”

Shen Ao's mood suddenly improved a little, he found a loophole, quickly walked out of the dormitory, and immediately ordered Wu Wencai and Quanzhou prefect Ma Yinglong to come over, and said: "From today on, all the yamen in Quanzhou will put down what they are doing. ”

Ma Yinglong said: "I don't know if Your Highness has anything to tell us?" ”

Shen Ao said with great interest: "This king is going to hold a grand event, a unique event, after three days, Your Majesty will go out of the palace to parade, this street must be repaired well, the trees along the street should also be hung with colorful silk, the shops of each family are painted, each family's workshop is rested, stop work for a day, let the people come out in new clothes, this matter has a great impact on this king, and it must be done." ”

Shen Ao looked a little excited, being able to do something for Zhao Ji when he was dying, which made him feel like he was breathing a sigh of relief, and he sighed for a while and said, "Isn't there a square in the new city?" It occupies a lot of land there, and a statue is erected in the center of the square, at least twenty zhang high, the bigger the better, the statue is naturally carved by His Majesty, can this be done? ”

Wu Wencai smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness, I'm afraid it's difficult for a strong man, such a big statue may not be able to be made even if a hundred craftsmen rush to work for a year and a half." ”

Shen Ao frowned, looking very disappointed, Zhao Ji's life, in addition to calligraphy and painting, the biggest hobby is pomp, to put it mildly, it is a great achievement, Shen Ao just wants to create a prosperous world, comfort and comfort this old man who is about to die, just like he concealed the prince's murder of his father, he just hopes that Zhao Ji can be satisfied and peaceful when he is driving the crane.

This big statue is the most important part of Shen Ao's vision, and now it can't be done, which naturally makes Shen Ao a little disappointed.

"But ......" Seeing Shen Ao's gloomy appearance, Ma Yinglong remembered an idea and said: "Xia Guan heard that the trading houses in Quanzhou have raised a sum of money to make a statue of Mazu, and plan to set up another Mazu temple next to the lighthouse to bless the safety of sailors going to sea. Now this stone statue has been built for about a year, and it looks like it is about to be completed...... If you take this stone statue of Mazu for the time being, and let the craftsmen take advantage of the three-day construction period to repair the face, maybe you can try it. ”

"Will this work?" Although Shen Ao was crazy, but Mazu turned into Zhao Ji, he still found it difficult to accept, looked Ma Yinglong up and down with a pair of eyes, and thought to himself: Aren't you also here in time?

Ma Yinglong was very embarrassed by Shen Ao, and said: "If you want to be perfect, you can't expect it, but if you recruit more stonemasons to speed up the work, there will be more places to increase and fewer places to be less, and there will always be a little similar." ”

Shen Ao struck his hands together and said, "This is a good way, just do it." After that, he said: "In addition to the stone statues, there should be no shortage of people, but it is not good to drive people out of the army, so it is better to simply come out, and each person will receive a string of money, and first register the names of the people, and then let them come to the yamen to get them." ”

Wu Wencai smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, it is a red and a stone statue, which is inevitably too laborious and costly." ”

Shen Ao said gloomily: "It's nothing more than doing everything, there is a little bit of labor, and there is no way to talk about hurting money, all this money is counted in the king's account, and there is no need to take it out of the treasury." Lord Wu, do the math, how much money will you have to spend? ”

Although Wu Wencai's maritime administration yamen is in charge of everything, but clarifying tariffs is a big head, and he has been trained in the past few years, and he can be regarded as an old official, so he only thought about it for a while, and said: "I'm only afraid that it will be around 20 million." ”

Shen Ao shook his head and said, "It's too little, what kind of movement can be made with such a little money?" If this king wants to do it, he will hold an earth-shattering event, we must always talk about a little conscience as officials, Your Majesty is now dying, and I can only come out to see such a trip in this life, how can I still save it? Just tell you, this king doesn't ask for much, that is, the more extravagant, the better, whoever has the ability to earn this king's money, just come and earn it. Such a big thing, 20 million guan is definitely not enough, this king first let people take 50 million guan, not enough, don't be stingy with any novel things that have come out of Quanzhou recently, take it out, this king has money. ”

At this time, Shen Ao was surprisingly generous, and with a wave of his hand, 50 million yuan was sprinkled, which was unprecedented.

Wu Wencai heard Shen Ao say that he paid for it, so he didn't say anything anymore, and said: "Then the old man will convene the officials from all over Quanzhou to discuss, and do it according to His Royal Highness's wishes, Ma Zhifu, the matter of the stone statue will be handed over to you." ”

Ma Yinglong said with a smile: "Your Highness and Lord Wu can rest assured, nothing will go wrong." ”

The three of them got together to discuss, Shen Ao hurried back to Zhao Ji's side, Zhao Ji took a nap, recovered some energy, and asked Shen Ao, "Where did Fang just go?" ”

Shen Ao said: "My stomach hurts, and I came back with some vinegar." ”

Zhao Ji didn't ask much, and Shen Ao stayed with him until late at night before he rode back.

Shen Ao is idle, but he patted his head, and it really made the whole Quanzhou a mess, His Majesty is going to go on patrol, His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King said that he will do it greatly, how to do it? Wu Wencai convened the officials to discuss for an hour, and finally set the tone. However, it was not enough to rely on the government alone, so everyone first undertook the details, and then the messengers of each yamen took the name and went to the chambers of commerce to visit and notify.

Shen Ao is roughly similar to Mazu in the minds of the merchants, and when he gave an order, the businessmen were very motivated, but in fact, they thought about it, and it was Shen Ao and the prince who competed for favor, so they played such a trick. How do you know that Shen Ao is just spending money to buy a scene to make Zhao Ji happy.

When it came to competing for favor, the businessmen were even more excited, this was a duel between the prince and the auxiliary king. If the auxiliary king loses, he will depose the sea government; The sea politics is over, and everyone is finished. So everyone rolled up their sleeves, and there was no need for the yamen to mobilize at all, and they were already competing for the lead. It's not easy to get colored silk? These two days and nights rushed to work, as much as there were; Want a troupe? If the team in Quanzhou is not enough, then go and invite, use the fleet to invite, and ensure that you can arrive in time; Do you want to be a juju team? There are also people who pat their chests and take it, so they must be invited on time.

As for all kinds of new gadgets, it goes without saying, isn't it just a big deal? The auxiliary king will come to do things, but I am afraid that you will not come to do things, and when things come, I will point out the direction for everyone, and everyone will have the money to contribute, and they will have the strength to contribute. What's more, the money will not be let out in vain, and the yamen will give you money, so you will not lose money.

The stonemasons of the entire Quanzhou were mobilized, all led by the prefect Yamen to rebuild the statue of Mazu, Mazu Niangniang was also considered unfavorable, and she was about to enjoy the incense, but she was forced to change her face, Ma Yinglong personally checked it, and supervised on the construction site for twelve hours a day, which was also considered to be dedicated.

In addition to these, I don't know which guy came up with the ghost idea to let the feudal people dance, so it was another chicken, flying and dogs, looking for the feudal people, gathering thousands of people, and starting to choreograph the dance. This matter is supervised by the Quanzhou transfer envoy Yamen, this transfer envoy is also full of interest, the reason why people take this errand, is because this person likes to listen to music, he thinks so in his heart, this dancing and listening to music is always the same, it is better than Ma Yinglong's eight poles to get a stone statue. If you want to say that the artistic attainments of listening to music are different, the transfer envoy even thought of the name of this dance, called Hundred Birds Chaofeng, thousands of feudal people, all lined up on the beach, one by one supervision, threats and temptations, if you dance well, you will be rewarded, and if you don't dance well, you will be directly repatriated to your hometown, and if you dare to do it against the transfer envoy, you will finish him today.
