Great Tang Idyll

Chapter 852: The first confrontation above the court

Views:

Fan Yu, the director of the Ministry of Engineering, has the greatest opportunity to show his face in Hanyuan Hall, and then it is like a small stone thrown into the sea. The spray is submerged in the falling tide before it splashes too much. The far-reaching influence has nothing to do with himself.

Xiaobei left the early court with satisfaction and did not participate in any court affairs. She wanted to return to the Zhuangyuan Building as soon as possible and ask for help from her brother and sister. On the court, she called her father a mouthful of Zhang Shangshu.

For her, there is no more terrible thing in the world. The sky is falling. She must conduct a crisis public relations during the period after the end of the early dynasty. The situation is very serious.

The early dynasty of Hanyuan Hall was the same, and Zhang Zhong didn't even think about how to clean up his daughter. He wanted more people to pass the change plan of the Ministry of Industry that he proposed.

After Li Longji had processed the submitted memorials, Zhang Zhong was the first to speak on his own initiative, with a roll of paper in his hand, reading out one by one, and finally asked the state finances for funding.

"Four million Guans?" Li Longji was shocked by what Zhang Zhong said. The country’s fiscal revenue has increased in the past two years, which is a world of difference compared to the past, but he gave out four million Guans at a time. One of the six titles seems to be too large.

Zhang Zhong also knew that his mouth was too wide open, and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the minister said that four million pennies are a one-time solution to the future problems. In the future, without your Majesty spending a penny, the Ministry of Industry can be self-reliant. After a year, the money invested will definitely be recovered."

"Your Majesty, the minister feels that this matter is not acceptable." As soon as Zhang Zhong's voice fell, Zhang said that he jumped out and bluntly opposed.

All the officials focused on Zhang Shuo at the same time, wanting to see if the prime minister and Zhang Zhong would win the first official confrontation.

Zhang said was also very helpless in his heart. He shouldn't be the first to stand up against him, and someone who was under him had already passed the signal through body language.

Everyone knows what he usually knows, as long as he sees his gesture, he knows what to do. Today, it's weird. The people under him seem to have bad eyesight and are in a trance mentally. No one even stood up to speak.

Gao Lishi has also seen this situation. He has a mirror in his heart. The so-called soft-handed, short-mouthed people who can appear in the early dynasty, which one does not receive the benefits of Zhang Wang's family at ordinary times

If you don't believe it, you can go and see one by one to see who doesn't have thousands of tokens worth of household items marked by the family of Zhang and Wang.

Today is the first time Zhang Zhong has discussed matters in the upper court. Whoever dares to find awkwardness at this critical moment will never expect the Zhang family to continue to benefit from it.

Coupled with the character of Xiaobao and Juanjuan that will repay each other, there will always be a result in the end.

Just as Gao Lishi guessed, people who belonged to Zhang Shuo's faction did have such an idea that they could not want the things given by Zhang Wang's family, but they did not dare to offend Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

Didn't you see the end of Fanyu just now? The emperor didn’t even have any thoughts for further investigation. He was immediately sentenced to exile and sent to Lingnan. He did not go to Luzhou. This is regarded as leaving Fanyu’s life, otherwise he was sent to Luzhou, the locals. At first it was offended by Zhang Cishi, and the consequences are self-evident.

Li Longji didn't say anything, waiting for Zhang to say what he was going to say next. He couldn't say no and just opposed it. He needed a reason.

After Zhang said his objection, he was actually waiting for his people to follow him up and agree, but what he waited for was silence.

He suppressed the anger in his heart and continued: "Your Majesty, four million Guan is not a small amount. Now the four barbarians are surrendered. I should be rewarded with money and materials to win the hearts of the people. The Tubo and Turks are still unstable. Two million units of supplies were sent to the two places to support them, which made them feel my holy grace. There are also many capitals in northern Hebei Province. If they do not comfort them, the ministers fear that the people will change after their lives."

The ministers above the court heard what Zhang said, and there were people who actually agreed with it, and it was only in their hearts, and they didn't show it on their faces.

Li Longji remained silent, turning his eyes on Zhang Zhong, waiting for Zhang Zhong to refute.

Those who knew Li Longji understood at this time. The emperor seemed to disagree with what Zhang said. The specific reason is still unclear.

They don't know, and Gao Lishi knows that the current emperor's mind is no longer what it used to be. Since knowing that there are more powerful people far away in the sea, he has not paid attention to the things around him.

Especially after seeing the spectacular sight of artillery bombardment in Huashan, where would you care about the disturbances in the surrounding areas? Anyone who refuses to accept it will be beaten, and until he is satisfied, let alone two million pens, even twenty thousand pens will not be given.

Zhang Zhong was also observing the reactions of his officials, to see who stood with him and who stood on the opposite side, and he was quite satisfied with the current results.

This was the case when I was in Luoyang. I brought up something and no one opposed it. Even if I had different opinions in my mind, I would discuss it with myself in private.

Zhang Zhong also knows that Datang today is not afraid of wars. His own military factory in Luzhou is constantly building weapons, and its strength is far superior to that of the surrounding countries.

But the words cannot be said directly. Zhang Zhong chose another entry point. "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Lord Zhang's words to help Tubo and Turks. Of course, teaching people and fish is not as good as teaching people and fish. What the Ministry of Industry has to do The thing is to study the various tools, according to the minister's plan, more good tools will appear after a year, and then I will be given to people in other places to use them, and they will surely live a good life."

"Your Majesty, when Zhang Shangshu's Ministry of Industry has worked out the tools a year later, what should we do now? How have the people been there this year?"

Zhang said he continued to oppose.

"If there weren't the things that Datang gave me this year, wouldn't the people in other places not live? Naturally, how did you live a year in the past?"

It was Li Linfu who stood up to speak at this time, a person Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan wanted to calculate.

At this moment, Li Linfu didn't know that someone had to deal with him, and he didn't even know that the reason for dealing with him was that he thought he would stand in that position one day in history.

He felt that he should help Zhang Zhong. The family life has improved too much recently. It is all the benefits provided by the Zhang and Wang family. In addition, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are still young and their future is boundless. They must stand in line as soon as possible.

Zhang said he turned his head and glanced at Li Linfu. He remembered him, turned his head, and continued: "Your Majesty, it's different now. The Siyis just surrendered. If they don't give benefits, the minister is afraid that they will feel resentment and cause chaos. thing."

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks Zhang Shangshu's Ministry of Industry plan is feasible, in the view of the minister..." Another person stood up to support Zhang Zhong.

Zhang said non-stop retorting, waiting for one person after another to stand up and support Zhang Zhong. Zhang said that he was finally discouraged when he saw that his people were still indifferent.

After the end of the early period, Zhang Zhong happily returned to the Ministry of Industry to do things. He got 4 million Guans, but he didn't get it all at once. According to his plan, it was divided into three phases. The first phase only needed 800,000 Guans. He got a million pennies, and he could go to the Ministry of Households to ask for money until the end of the first period.

Zhang said it was a gloomy look. He failed in the courtroom confrontation. He did not fail. But this time is different from the previous failure. The previous failure was the final decision of the emperor. Today's failure is the pressure of the courtiers. There was no one on the other side. Could it be that he was frightened by that Fanyu

What worries you most is the emperor’s attitude. Although today there is no preference for any side, non-biasing is a kind of preference, especially the attitude that Zhang Xiaobei’s nine children took when he cleaned up Fanyu before the court meeting. Is it true Don't ask clearly before conviction

What happened in the early dynasty quickly reached Zhang Xiaobao's ears. He heard that his father had already pressed Zhang during the first confrontation and said that Zhang Xiaobao did not intend to stay in the capital any longer.

The plan was made by the father himself, and the matters in the courtroom were solved by the father himself. No need for others to keep an eye on, the withdrawal should be withdrawn, and he was ready to go back and wait for the person sent out to bring good news back.

When he knew that his brother had decided to set off, Beckham breathed a sigh of relief.

After the excitement, Xiaobei was a little bit reluctant. Leaving the capital means separation from his parents. My brother said that he would have to stay in Jilizhou for at least a year before he could have the opportunity to be an official in the capital. Just work.

In the afternoon, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan bid farewell to the elders at home and took a huge team towards Jilizhou.

This time I won’t take the waterway. The Yellow River has been frozen. Zhang Xiaobao didn’t plan to spend so much money to blow up the river. The gain was not worth the loss. Instead, he chose to take the land and walk along the river. Now this section of the Yellow River has been built on both sides of the broad road. , There are countless merchants and pedestrians.

The car was rolling on the sand-spattered snow, making a creaking movement. After two days of walking, Beckham was finally unwilling to follow the group of people to toss slowly, and proposed to take the first step. Zhang Xiaobao would not object to it. , Let the children toss.

As soon as he left the team, Beckham was like a running wild horse, organizing eight other people for an impromptu meeting.

The main content of the meeting is to continue to carry forward the style of the children's group that is not afraid of hardship and tiredness, and to deeply understand the main spirit of the children's group. It is necessary to better reflect the wisdom of knowing the histories and the affairs of the Dali Temple, so as to live up to the emperor. Uncle's trust is worthy of the people of the world.

At the meeting, member Zhang Xiaobei spoke first and praised the last action. He believed that the children's group is an excellent team and a strong team that will not be overthrown in the face of any difficulties.

However, a problem was also discovered in the last operation, that is, the member Zhang Xiaohai did not check the accounts early, so that the evidence in the Hall of Hanyuan was insufficient. The member Zhang Xiaohai deeply realized his own shortcomings, and did not do anything. Justify, write a review there, the content is that X and Y intersect on the same line...

At the same time, he also criticized Wang Xiaoyuan’s lack of professionalism, and failed to list Fan Yu’s crimes well in the court. Wang Xiaoyuan confessed his mistakes in a low voice. He said: “Cold vs. heat, day vs. year. Kick to swing. Danshan to clear water, light rain to Tan Yan."

Member Zhang Xiaobei finally made a concluding speech, and she has a new expectation for the future of the children’s group. She pointed out that the members of the children’s group should continue to unite with the members who can find a place for the children’s group, and the name of the children’s group should persist. Don't waver before you grow up, broaden your horizons, and go out.

The meeting ended in a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

This is a great meeting. It is a meeting that connects the past and the past. This meeting laid the foundation for the Healthy Children's Group to overcome all kinds of difficulties in the next period of time.

For more than half a month, Xiaobei and the others came to Zhu'a County in a hurry, waiting here, I don't know whether to cross the river by land or try to go by sea. The frozen sea is thawed.

In the brochures of previous years, it is recorded that Zhu'a County itself is a county with a large population, rich products and convenient transportation.

Xiaobei is going to rest here for a few days and train a hundred guards at the same time, but when the team enters the territory of Zhu'a County, she already knows whether it is Xiaobei and others from Shangxian County or is given the prosperity of Zhu'a County. scared.

I saw that there was a wide road that could pass six vehicles at the same time. Numerous sheds were built in the fields on both sides of the road, covered with straw. As the evening was approaching, wisps of smoke rose from the sheds, and countless people were busy. about.

Moving forward, there is a small river gurgling, or floating ice stubble, with a stone bridge connecting the banks, outside the bridge, diverting water into a canal, slowly filling into a pond, the setting sun sets, sparkling, small boats supporting it, banging sound Everyone moved together, shouting and shouting, and when the net in the pool was up, the fat fish struggled and leaped.

Going in again, there are no catchers in the pond, dressed in leather clothes, reciprocating into the water, throwing the lotus root on the shore, some children carry schoolbags, pick them up, pile up into a mountain, and laugh endlessly.

"Oh, who is the magistrate of Zhu'a County? A bit of skill. The road is wide enough and flat enough. The shed should be filled with kang and the chives are planted in it. Here we divert water to raise fish and plant lotus roots. The matching is not bad. Reasonable, no matter how hard you work, you will be able to catch up with your brother and sister by half."

Seeing this scene, Xiaobei praised her, and the command team continued to move forward. Zhu Axian aroused her interest and wanted to see what happened after entering the county seat.

The team speeded up, and when it got dark, they went outside the county seat of Zhu'a County, and what they saw was a city wall ten feet high.

"It's really not easy, I see there is a light over there, go around." Beckham ordered again.

After the team walked around the place, everyone could see clearly that there were quite a few houses here, one next to one another, and the lights were small flames spouting out of pipes.

Xiaobei and others know that this is the effect of igniting the biogas, and it seems that the biogas is used well here.

When I wanted to go a step further, the team was stopped. Standing outside the fence, I could faintly hear the hum of pigs and roosters from inside.

Xiaobei nodded, this should be the overall planning of breeding, let someone explain to the other party, and then turned around and entered the city from the city gate.

Shop lanterns flickered on both sides of the street in the city. Through the light, one could see a water diversion canal made of cement on the side of the road. It should be used for drainage. Between the canal and the shop is a sidewalk made of bricks made of cement.

The shortest shop is also two stories, and at every intersection there are several three-story buildings standing there.

At nights where pedestrians are already sparse in other places, there are people who come and go, or go to the nearby shop to eat something, or gather together in a spacious place to hum.

A group of children stood in a row and walked by, reciting the Analects of Confucius, and went straight to a stall outside. Each took out a few new coins and threw them into the money box, and they started there. Eaten it.

A scent of pepper oil floated over, and Xiaobei sniffed and touched his stomach again. "I'm hungry. Let's go and eat. I'll treat you."

When I walked to the front, I saw several iron boxes on the stall. Each box contained different food, including tofu, tofu skin, dried tofu, dried tofu, fish balls, crab balls, and shrimp balls. There are many types of bean sprouts, cabbage, sausages, etc.

Xiaobei and others are not unfamiliar with this kind of thing. At first, his brother made it for himself and others, and then it spread to various places.

"Ten rows, stand in line." Beckham took out a piece of paper from his shoulder bag and shouted to a hundred little guards.

Wow... The ten teams stood up in an instant, and each of the people who led the head had an iron box in front of them, and they picked up a series of passes.

Beibei took the paper money into the money box and said to the person who set up the stall: "Money bet this, and count the sticks for a while, all counted as meat. From now on, remember to separate the two kinds of meat and vegetables with different sticks. Otherwise, you will stare at other people's food for a long time and delay things."

After talking to the people who set up the stall, Xiaobei only started to eat it. The price of meat is twice that of a vegetarian, and she has no time to care about it.

The person who set up the stall was stunned, took out the paper money in the box, and was shocked. It was a five-hundred-dollar paper currency. After looking at Xiaobei and others, he knew that he had met a child from a big family, and he smiled towards the iron. Continue to add food in the box.

The Beckham who let go of eating doesn't care whether the food at the stall is hygienic or not, anyway, after being scalded in boiling water, he is basically fine.

When he was half full, Xiaobei remembered a very important thing. He raised his head and asked the person who set up the stall: "Who is the magistrate of this county?"

"It's the magistrate of Yan County." The person who set up the stall didn't want to say to a child, but he felt that they were different in their identities, so he said it out.

"Oh." Beckham nodded, and then asked: "Is he corrupt?"
