Number of romantic figures

Chapter 1740

This kind of dispute is always inevitable in this kind of discussion. Different judgments on each person, and emotional closeness will become factors for recommendation and rejection.

It was the first time that Feng Ziying and Lian Guoshi had seen the daily discussions of the top scholars in the northern region. In the past, he and Lian Guoshi were not qualified to participate in such discussions.

"Junyu, seeing you today, doesn't it feel like an eye-opener?" Feng Ziying couldn't help lowering her voice and chuckling when she saw that Han Yu and Zhou Yongchun were arguing over whether Sun Chengzong would be transferred back to lead the army, and even seemed a little angry.

"Shut up!" Lian Guoshi glared at Feng Ziying, and said angrily, "Why do you still have the time to make sarcastic remarks? The situation is so dangerous, so you're not worried?"

"Is it useful to worry?" Feng Ziying curled her lips, "I have already talked with Master Qi and Master Qiao, and even talked with the official teacher and Mr. Chai, but have they listened to it? Everyone feels confident , Calm and calm, now it’s all right, Zhang Chengyin was locked up for a month, and finally released, the dignified Xuanfu Town Chief Soldier, not at all vigilant, in vain since the emperor and the cabinet still had high hopes for him, but in the end he was already He became the target of other people's tricks, but he coaxed us enough and almost caused a catastrophe."

Practicing state affairs is also speechless.

The chief soldier of Xuanfu Town was originally used by the imperial court to deal with Niu Jizong's trump card, which was equivalent to being an undercover agent sent by Niu Jizong's side. Unexpectedly, Niu Jizong suspected him of his inadvertent actions, and then quietly took him out.

But he didn't realize it, and thought that he had the wisdom pearl in his hands, and he could make a counterattack at the last moment and make great achievements. The result was that the Xuanfu army's eastward advance was completed in one go, and Niu Jizong almost succeeded.

If it wasn't for He Huchen's desperation to stop the enemy and You Shigong's reckless advance of the army, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"I can't completely blame him. I can only say that Niu Jizong is so cunning and tricked everyone." Lian Guoshi couldn't help but sighed, "It's all over, and there is no point in worrying about Mr. Zhang's fault. As for how to deal with it now, you have always had a lot of ideas, and you have been making arrangements for a long time. I have visited the granary at Yuguan, and it has become bigger and bigger every time, far exceeding my expectations. Have you already considered it?"

"Is it okay not to think about it? This year's drought, the situation of Yongping Mansion is not good, but it is much better than that of Shanshan and Shaanxi. Don't you have to think about it in advance?" Feng Ziying did not hide state affairs. He had already mentioned it to Lian Guoshi in the past, but the scale had expanded several times compared to the original idea. No wonder Lian Guoshi was surprised.

Lian Guoshi nodded, "I'm following your example and plan ahead. It's already arranged in advance. It shouldn't be a big problem. I planned to hit your idea, but I also know that you are probably preparing for the capital, so I have to do it myself. Yu Guangang is now getting bigger and bigger, and there are many South Ships coming to transport iron materials and cement, so it was a hit, but I asked them to transport them to the mouth of the Hulu River, and then use river boats to transport them to Luanzhou and Lulong."

"Oh? Have you dredged the Hulu River?" Feng Ziying naturally knows the situation of the Hulu River. The Luan River forks at Yuepogang. , but because after the Luan River forked, the water volume was much smaller and the water depth was not enough. Even if the river boats had to go straight to Luanzhou and Lulong, it should be difficult.

"After a few sections of dredging, we can barely pass the boat this autumn. After the water is dry this winter, we need to organize manual dredging, otherwise it will be difficult to use next year." Lian Guoshi nodded: "The road from Qian'an, Lulong to Funing has been repaired Well, it just so happens that these refugees can also be picked up, which can be regarded as finding another job for them to fill their stomachs."

Last year, about 10 refugees brought by the Mongol invasion to the south were transferred to Yongping Prefecture. Apart from the coal-iron complex digesting some of them, a considerable part was used as labor relief to build roads from Qian'an, Lulong to Funing, and Yuguan. In order to facilitate the transportation of iron materials and iron products from Qian'an and Lulong through Yuguan in large quantities.

But tens of thousands of refugees are not so easy to digest at once. After the construction of these roads is completed, in addition to absorbing part of the cement plants that are constantly being built, a considerable part of them can only be settled by building water conservancy. But this also brings a big problem, that is, Yongping Mansion simply cannot afford the consumption of these refugees.

No matter what, if you ask someone to build canals, dig rivers and pave roads, you have to feed the whole family. This is not a small expense. Wei Guangwei and Lian Guo are also very troublesome. The gentry asked for alms, but it was far from enough, and the idea could only be reached to the Shanshan businessmen who were vigorously developing.

Wei Guangwei and Lian Guoshi also knew that these Shanxi businessmen had an unusual relationship with Feng Ziying, so they naturally asked Feng Ziying to help them make peace.

Feng Ziying also thought about it. He and Lian Guoshi are the only ones who can stand out in the fifth year of Yonglong Academy of Qingtan Academy. The others are still too immature, and it is difficult to get ahead without three to five years of experience. As the backbone of the scholars, the Shuntian and Yongping prefectures are connected by a belt, and it can be said that one is prosperous and the other is damaged.

If he can make some contributions in this turbulent situation, needless to say, Wei Guangwei and Lian Guoshi can also be promoted, especially Lian Guoshi, who has the same ambitions as him, will be of great benefit to him, so he Will spare no effort to help the state affairs.

"Junyu, this year and next year will be very sad, but after next year, I think the situation will take on a new look, so it is only good for us to make better preparations in advance." Feng Ziying said in a low voice: "We can only advise the imperial court. In other words, we can't get much hands in how to do it. If you are in Yongping and I am in Shuntian, let's do the job well. You have to let the princes in the court take a look. We Yonglong five Years of this subject can still do things.”

Practicing state affairs is also somewhat far-sighted. During the year in Yongping Mansion, Feng Ziying's routine was basically continued, purge the White Lotus Sect, appease the gentry, stabilize the refugees, and then use the great development of the coal-iron complex to promote the absorption of labor, and then let Yu Guangang has rapidly prospered. It can be said that except for the fact that the White Lotus Sect is deeply rooted and cannot be eliminated in a short while, everything else is going smoothly.

In particular, the prosperity of Yuguan is beyond imagination. The scale of cement production in Funing continues to expand, not only satisfying local and western Liaoning, but now more than half of it is exported to Shandong, Songjiang, and Ningbo. The main area that Shenku is keeping a close eye on.

Today's visit here was also summoned by Cui Jingrong, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, if Wei Guangwei hadn't gone to the South Tour Le Pavilion and Changli, then Wei Guangwei should have come here.

"Don't worry, I know what's in my mind. I still have Brother Xian (Wei Guangwei) supporting me in Yongping Mansion. You are different. Shuntian Mansion is no better than Yongping Mansion, and Mr. Wu may not have the patience to take care of these chores." "Lian Guoshi chuckled, "You should worry about it, just wait and see, when it comes to money and food, you Fugong (Wang Yongguang) will definitely ask you for advice. The imperial household department is so difficult now, if you find another way , the next military action is definitely impossible.”

Unsurprisingly, after a general consideration of the military action plan, the more difficult issue is how to support such a series of military actions, which requires a lot of money and food.

"As of now, there are still 86 taels of silver in the Ministry of Households, and 130 million taels of silver in the Jieshen Treasury of the Ministry of Industry. It seems that the number is not small, but this is not included in the payment of food and salaries to the towns of the frontier army this winter and next spring. Under the circumstances, it was originally considered that the autumn Fu from Huguang, Jiangnan and other places should be handed in before December, but now..."

Wang Yongguang, the left servant of the household department, had an ugly face. When he heard that the Northwest Army might deploy more than 12 troops, and more than half of them would go east to enter Henan and Shandong to fight, he felt nervous.

Such a large amount of expenses alone is overwhelming, and this has not counted the basic expenses of the towns.

In addition, the Northwest Army is going to fight, and I am afraid that changing the firearms will also be on the agenda.

This point was reported to the Ministry of War long before the iron net mountain change, and the Ministry of War also forwarded it to the cabinet, waiting for the Ministry of Households to allocate funds, but now the situation has become more urgent, but financial resources are even more tight.

"Currently, the silver in Neiku and Jieshen's Treasury can only meet the needs of the Northwest Army's eastward advance and preparations for war, while the rest of the towns will not be able to support this winter and next spring. This should be supported by Huguang and Jiangnan Qiufu. Counting other expenses such as relief, official salaries, etc. this winter and next spring,..."

"What did Ming Qi (Huang Ruliang) say?" Qi Yongtai glanced at Li Sancai, his face also very heavy.

Huang Ruliang was the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, but Fang Congzhe was in charge of the finances, and Li Sancai was in charge of the Ministry of War, but he couldn't manage the issue of the Ministry of Households' payment.

"Ming Qi means to borrow from Haitong Yinzhuang first, but there may be some problems with the loan amount and the collateral, because this is not a small amount, King Zhongshun..." Wang Yongguang hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Feng Ziying again : "I'm afraid Ziying and King Zhongshun should talk about it."

The clan headed by King Zhongshun is the largest shareholder of Haitong Yinzhuang. If it is 20 million taels, or even 50 million taels, it is easy to say, but if it is more than a million, then it may be necessary to communicate with King Zhongshun. It is Jia Qiang And Feng Ziying can't decide at will.

And the key point is that this kind of loan is not enough even once, and there may be more loans one after another. If it is not done well, it will become a bottomless pit. It's easy to say, even the imperial court is even less optimistic.

If you really want to borrow it, you may be in vain. If Prince Yizhong wins, he will definitely not accept the debt.
