I, fused with Vegeta, invaded the reincarnation space - #122 - Chapter 122
Zhang Yan’s heart tightened when he heard this, he couldn’t escape what was coming after all! It seems that my guess is correct, the emperor must have asked for money again!
“We decided to build a road and build a cement road from Yingtian to the northwest! Zhu
Yuanzhang said slowly
“Hasn’t His Highness Prince Su been building roads?”
Zhang Yan asked with doubts on his face.
Because the road construction in Ganzhou is no longer a secret!
Not only have the cement roads in Ganzhou been built to Xi’an Prefecture, but they are also continuing to be expanded to other places. Now they are all It has already reached Shangluo Danfeng County!
Although it is still in Shaanxi, it will enter Henan!
When Zhu
Yuanzhang heard this, what was this guy thinking? Will Fourteenth come and pay to build this road?
“Why do you think King Su built cement roads to Henan?”
“If we hadn’t discussed it with Lao Shi4, this road might not have been built from Xi’an Prefecture to Henan, but directly from Ganzhou to the Chengdu Basin!”
“Even the King of Shu knew the benefits of building roads. As the Minister of Household Affairs, Zhang Aiqing couldn’t possibly not see it, right?”
427
Zhu Yuanzhang asked with some dissatisfaction.
Zhang Yan had a wry smile on his face!
How could he, the Minister of Household Affairs, not know the benefits of building cement roads? It is definitely beneficial to the country and the people. For example, recently, the briquettes supplied by the northwest There is a shortage of briquettes just because of the transportation problem! If there is a cement road leading directly to Jiangnan, more briquettes can be transported here! There is enough briquettes in the northwest, but it will be in vain if it cannot be transported!
Zhang Yan also has his own plan!
Anyway, King Su and King Shu are willing to pay for the road construction themselves, so why bother to pay for it themselves? He is also saving a lot of money for the court, but it depends on the emperor! I mean, he seems very dissatisfied with this!
It’s really hard for me to be the Minister of the Ministry of Finance!
“This… I naturally know the benefits of building roads!”
“But although there are still millions of taels of silver in the treasury, they cannot all be used to build roads!”
“Moreover, you had to promote the cultivation of rubber before, which was also a big expense!”
Zhang Yan explained with a troubled face.
“Whether it’s rubber planting or road construction, they are all things that benefit the country and the people. Since you also think it is a good thing, why is there any reason to oppose it?”
“The rubber seeds will not be given to me for free, and the cement used for road construction will not be given to me for free. The Ministry of Household Affairs will approve as much as it needs to be approved!”
“The national treasury is so full during this period. If this money is not used, it will be no different from a pile of scrap metal piled up in the treasury!”
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
Besides, it’s not like the imperial court only has these millions of taels of silver left. Doesn’t it make a steady stream of money back every month? This is also Zhu Yuanzhang’s confidence. Where it is!
“This… I obey the decree!”
Zhang Yan sighed helplessly.
He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang invited him over for dinner today and discussed it with him in a good manner, which was enough to give him face! If he still doesn’t know how to show appreciation, he must talk to Zhu Yuanzhang. It’s unreasonable to play devil’s advocate. As the leader of the Ministry of Revenue, it is also necessary to assess the situation!
And it can be seen from this that His Majesty still values him very much!
If it were other ministers, Zhu Yuanzhang would probably be the same!
The imperial edict has issued an order directly.
If anyone wants to discuss it with you, we will just inform you!
So although Zhang Yan is stingy, he is still clear about some issues, mainly road construction and rubber tree planting, which are indeed good things.
, he just feels sorry for the money invested in the early stage, and it’s not that he is opposed to building roads or planting rubber!
“We know that Zhang Aiqing knows the basics!
“
“In this case, the money for road construction and rubber planting will come from the Ministry of Revenue. Let’s send someone to talk to King Su directly!”
Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhang Yan relenting and nodded with satisfaction!
Although this old boy is usually a tough guy, he is still quite sensible at critical moments!…
Peking Yanwang Mansion.
Ten days passed in a hurry.
Zhu Di looked at the court The old man had just received the approval, and his face was ashen!
The old man actually rejected his request, and he wouldn’t give any money to Peiping this year!
The only thing that made Zhu Di feel better was that all the feudal lords were like this.
The treatment was not just for him, Zhu Di!
Of course, he didn’t know that it was because of him that the old man had also rejected all the requests of the other feudal lords!
Sooner or later, it was not Zhu Di who suddenly took the blame!
His brain suddenly twitched, and he opened his mouth to Zhu Yuanzhang!
He was just unwilling to give in and wanted to test the old man’s attitude towards him.
In the final analysis, it was because of the old man’s troubles. He felt that the old man was too partial and took all the benefits. Gave it to Old Fourteen!
He just wanted to see what weight he would have in the old man’s heart. Although Zhu Di felt that it was too much to ask for a million taels of silver, but in his opinion, even if the old man disagreed, He should give a little more! Even if it’s two to three hundred thousand taels, it would be a little higher than in previous years!
But he didn’t expect that the old man would do so well, which made him feel more and more true to the old man. It’s too good to be true!
“Master, what do you think about this matter?”
Zhu Di asked Yao Guangxiao with a livid face.
“In fact, His Highness doesn’t have to be so persistent. Even if His Majesty fails to agree to provide food and salary, it doesn’t mean anything. Didn’t all the feudal kings give it?”
Yao Guangxiao laughed disapprovingly.
In his opinion, Zhu Di was overthinking!
To put it bluntly, he was just jealous of Su Wang Zhu Mei!
Many times, people are easily deceived just because of the little benefit in front of them. Mentally, Zhu Di may be in this state!”You mean, my father is not partial to Lao Si?”??
Zhu Di frowned!”In fact, King Su was able to develop to the extent he is now, and His Majesty did not stop him at most. Have you ever seen Your Majesty help him?”
“On the contrary, Su Wang Zhu Kai can also help the court. For example, in the matter of refined salt, he can make the court follow its instructions!”
“To put it bluntly, that is indeed King Su’s ability!”
“If His Highness can also have this ability, then the one who is having a headache now may be King Su!”
“There is no such thing as partiality!”
Yao Guangxiao reminded him with great pains.
Hearing this, Zhu Di’s face became even more ugly!.
