Chapter 375 - Against the Heavens(2/2)

Zhu Di took a deep look at Zhang Anshi and said, "Master Yao never observes the sky."

Zhang Anshi: "..."

Zhu Di looked at him with bright eyes and said, "If you have anything to say, why do you need to ask Master Yao?"

Zhang Anshi drooped his head: "I will be punished by death."

Zhu Di wanted to be angry, but now he actually had a much better temper. Finally, he waved his hands and sighed: "Don't do it again in the future. You are so lucky. You have never had any setbacks. You always think that others will protect you and it is natural. If it were changed,

If you were someone else, you would have lost your head a long time ago if you talked so freely."

Zhang Anshi smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, I... you must remember it."

"I don't think you can remember." Zhu Di shook his head and said: "Even if you make a mistake, someone will forgive you. I am like this, the future prince will be like this, and in the future... Zhanji will probably be like this."

Zhang Anshi said: "I already know that I was wrong."

Zhu Di didn't say anything, just said: "Go, go, come back to me for diagnosis and treatment in a few days."

Zhang Anshi then took his leave.

As soon as Zhang Anshi left, Zhu Di said: "It's also a shame."

"My servant is here." Yishiha came quietly like a ghost.

Zhu Di said slowly and calmly: "Please note this matter about Mr. Sun."

Yishiha frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty... didn't you just say that Duke Wei was lying... and that's not credible?"

"This guy keeps talking all day long. I see that he is hesitant to speak. He seems to want to remind you, but he doesn't want to tell the truth. Come to think of it... there must be a reason. Let's write it down. The marriage of the emperor and his grandson is of great importance. It cannot be

Try the risk. After all, Zhang Anshi will not harm the emperor's grandson."

Yi Shiha then said: "I obey the order."

Zhu Di sighed immediately.

A few days later, Zhang Anshi did not come, but a new court meeting was held.

This is because Liu Guan, the Minister of Rites, submitted a report regarding the railway.

Zhu Di cheered up and went to the palace to take his seat.

Liu Guanzou said: "The progress of the Jiangxi Railway is extremely rapid. I heard that... it took only more than two months for the station to be completed. This time, 170,000 civilians were recruited, and the chief envoy Xu Qi worked day and night...

...I...I heard that people all over Jiangxi were happy and excited when they heard about the construction of the railway, and many people even begged to build more railways. At this time, the morale of the army and the people can be used, so I thought that we should work together..."

He rambled on for a long time.

Zhu Di heard the overtone and said, "Why doesn't Liu Qing go straight to the point?"

Liu Guan then said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid we still need some silver... It's just that Xu Qi, the chief envoy, doesn't want to continue to issue debts and increase the burden on the people, so..."

Zhu Di felt relieved when he heard that the station had been built in a short period of time, and that the roadbeds everywhere were mostly completed. However, he was still unhappy when he heard that money was needed.

My money!

But take a deep breath, after all, a million taels of silver have been allocated.

Moreover, over the years, the profits turned over by the commercial banks have already accumulated a mountain of gold and silver in their internal funds.

So after thinking for a while, he said: "Then add another one million taels and tell Xu Qi that since the progress is so rapid and I am not stingy with gold and silver, I want to see the railway connected by the end of the year. If it is completed, it will be a great achievement."

After Liu Guan heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed and kowtowed: "Your Majesty cares about the sufferings of the people and loves the soldiers and civilians of Jiangxi so much. Now you have added this kind of grace. If the people know that your Majesty has worked so hard..."

Zhu Di waved his hand: "There is no need to talk about these gossips. Tell Xu Qi again that this matter is related to the country. I hope he can take full advantage of it."

All the ministers praised him one after another.

Not mentioning it now.

…………

In the Right Governor's Mansion.

At this time, Chen Li sent a report from Jin Yiwei to Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi read the report, slightly narrowed his eyes and frowned.

He read it carefully a few times before raising his head: "Is the news true?"

Chen Li stood aside quietly. When he heard Zhang Anshi's question, he hurriedly said: "I've checked it, there should be nothing wrong."

Zhang Anshi took a deep breath: "This is strange."

Chen Li said in confusion: "I don't know about the governor..."

Zhang Anshi only said: "Continue to monitor. In addition, send a copy of the briefing to the palace."

Chen Li said: "Here."

Zhang Anshi stood up, clasped his hands behind his back, and walked back and forth a few steps: "Is there any other news from Jiangxi?"

Chen Li said: "A lot of the news is still fragmentary, and there are a lot of rumors. I haven't verified them yet, so I don't dare to report them. I just feel... a little weird."

Zhang Anshi raised his eyebrows and said, "Weird?"

"The chief envoy Xu Qi really worked hard. He showed up at the construction site every day. He also built a lot of steel workshops, had people open mines, and recruited a large number of civilian workers. But...but...these days

, but there are many people in Jiangxi who either go into the mountains to become thieves, or go down to the lake to become bandits..."

Zhang Anshi frowned, and then said: "Let's also send a copy of the briefing to the palace. I am not in a position to talk about Jiangxi matters. I will send it to His Majesty, and everything will be decided by himself."

Chen Li cupped his hands and said, "I humbly obey."

…………

Liu Guan came to see Zhu Di excitedly. He had been in a happy mood these days. As the Minister of Rites, he was a very popular minister, and now he had the power of the railway.

As long as we hold on tightly, the authority of the Ministry of Rites will no longer be under that of the Ministry of Personnel.

As for that household...

To put it bluntly, in the future, the amount of money and food circulating in the hands of the Ministry of Household Affairs may not be as much as that of the railway every year.

Liu Guan had this kind of sudden happiness many times in his life. It was clear that he had done nothing, but luck just came to his door.

As the Minister of Rites, he is now very popular. With a large number of job vacancies and countless allocations of money and food, he has suddenly become a popular person and his popularity in the court has gradually become unparalleled.

To put it harshly, those transport envoys were always in demand in the past. But now, what do they count?

In the future, the chief ministers and the railway departments and railway bureaus of all governments in the world will be the real fat ones.

With so many black gauze hats in his hands, the old Liu family is afraid that their ancestral graves will soon be filled with smoke.

At this time, he bowed respectfully to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di held a briefing in his hand, but he stared at him and angrily said: "I heard that there are many bandits in Jiangxi?"

"This..." Liu Guan never expected that His Majesty would be furious at this time.

He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. I don't care about banditry. I am just worried about this matter. I want to ask Jin Chun, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments."

Zhu Di said angrily: "I'm here to ask you! Taiping Prefecture builds railways and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. Why is it like this in Jiangxi?"

"This..." Liu Guan was a little confused. It took him a long time before he took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I have heard some bad rumors."

Zhu Di said: "Say."

"I heard...someone is very dissatisfied with the railway construction."

Zhu Di took a deep look at Liu Guan, raised his eyebrows and said, "Who is the dissatisfied person you are talking about?"

"Bachelor Yang Pu has always hoped to be in charge of the World Railway Department. Relying on his achievements in building railways, he has always believed that the construction of the world's railways will be successful. It is a pity that His Majesty's Holy Might did not go as he wished. So this Yang Pu

, talking bad things about Jiangxi Railway everywhere..."

Zhu Di stared at Liu Guan, his lips pursed into a straight line.

Speaking of which, Liu Guan can be said to be a strange person in boxing.

In his life, he could be regarded as offending all the ministers of the Yongle Dynasty.

Lu Zhen and Chen Ying are traitorous ministers, and they have offended them.

He also offended the prince and those around him, including Yang Rong, Xia Yuanji, Jian Yiren, etc.

In his opinion, this is not a big deal. I, Liu Guan, am in my own way. Whoever you are, I don't care who you are. I don't care if you are powerful. If I beat you, I will still be promoted and make a fortune.

Now these words are aimed at Yang Pu, but who is behind Yang Pu?

They are the prince and Duke Wei.

To put it bluntly, Liu Guan's words are called heaven-defying. If they are true, they fall into the category of fighting spirit turning into a horse, which is so terrifying.

………………

I suddenly want to say a few words from the bottom of my heart to everyone. I have finally updated another chapter. The book has been on the shelves for a few months. The further back it is, the harder it is to write. Coupled with the long years of work, Tiger feels a little tired. I don’t know.

Do you feel this way? Finally, please give me some monthly tickets. I hope friends who like to watch can support Tiger. Also, everyone should pay attention to their health. The body is the capital of everything, so everyone must take care of it!
Chapter completed!
