The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

The British parliament has always disliked the queen's plan for spending too much money and refused to allocate funds.

Yan Song picked up the pen and swiped it!

He directly modified the initial budget of 1000 million taels, added two strokes, and turned 1 into 5!

Then, Elizabeth was completely confused.

From 1000 million taels, Yan Song directly changed Shanghai's investment plan to 5000 million taels!

"This, this must be crazy!" Elizabeth said excitedly: "5000 million taels of silver, 500 million gold, to build a new city on an empty beach? If this kind of investment plan can be passed, my king... "

"How about you?" Yan Song asked with a smile.

Elizabeth said decisively: "This king will let you take advantage of it once. But I want to attend your cabinet meeting and listen carefully to those elders and ministers. How could I agree to your crazy plan?"

Elizabeth was so curious.

She couldn't imagine why a plan that couldn't be passed with 1000 million silver was changed to 5000 million, and it could be passed!

This queen, I don't believe it!

Yan Song smiled faintly, and threw the 5000 million version to Xu Wei: "Print and distribute to elders and ministers."

Sure enough, as Elizabeth expected, this 5000 million new city construction plan caused a huge sensation.

This plan has two big breaking points.

First, the plan inspected Nanjing, Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Yangzhou, four affluent cities of the Ming Dynasty, and compared the opening conditions of Shanghai, and concluded that it is more appropriate to build a new city in Shanghai as an opening.

The second is to preliminarily estimate the capital required for the opening of Shanghai, a jaw-dropping sky-high price-at least 3000 million silver is required for the initial construction of Shanghai New City, and 5000 million or even more is required for the complete completion.

This is a big news that shocked the ruling and opposition parties.

Three days in advance, Yan Song had already distributed the Shanghai construction plan to the cabinet and the Sixth Ministry for serious consideration by the cabinet elders and the seven ministers.

The news that Mr. Yan Ge chose Shanghai as the second city of Kaifu also spread like wildfire.

The imperial court and the city of Beijing were aroused.

"Have you heard? Mr. Yan Ge is going to host Kaifu again!"

"Guess where is the second open sea city?"

"Hey, it's nothing more than Nanjing and Hangzhou, big southern cities?"

"Wrong! Hehe, Mr. Yan Ge is indeed an extraordinary person. He chose a place called Shanghai for the second Kaifu city!"

"Shanghai? Never heard of it!"

"Of course you haven't heard of it! I haven't heard of it before. It is said that it is a small fishing village under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou Prefecture. It is not even a county seat!"

"Invest 5000 million silver to build a new city in Shanghai!"

"Ah? Is Mr. Yange crazy? He has to burn so much money to build a new city in a fishing village without choosing so many central cities?"

Among the six departments, there are local governments in various southern provinces who raised doubts about this [Shanghai Kaifu City Construction Plan].

"This is nonsense!"

"Obviously there are so many developed cities, you can choose, why do you have to build new cities?"

"That's right, it was the same in Tianjin back then. The same is true in Beijing's new city. Yan Song seems to like to be unconventional and build new cities."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Yan Ge's old routine is very deep."

"What trick?"

········

"If you don't engage in large-scale construction and don't have 5000 million project funds, how can you be corrupt? Huh! Don't tell me that Yan Song is as clean as water. He is so rich that he can rival the country. How did he get rich?"

There are different opinions, and the rain is about to come.

When the prince heard about this, he brought the Shanghai construction plan, glanced at it, and sneered: "If this crazy investment plan can be passed, this king will eat up the plan!"

Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were both important ministers who were going to attend the meeting, and they all sneered: "That's right! Don't worry, His Royal Highness, we will definitely work together to stop Yan Song's plan."

The prince nodded: "The lonely king will also send a note to all parties, asking them to work together to thwart Yan Song's plan."

Various cronies are connected with each other in private.

..

The prince, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng ran around, persuading various parties, and basically reached a consensus.

Resent Yan Song!

A sinister undercurrent surged beneath the sea level.

This afternoon, Yan Song was in the cabinet and presided over a meeting to deliberate on this plan for building the city and opening up the city in Shanghai.

The participants included cabinet veterans and six ministers.

But the atmosphere was very solemn, everyone stared at Yan Song, but no one spoke.

Yan Song coughed: "Everyone, do you have any questions about the Shanghai city construction plan? If not, then the elder of the cabinet will directly report it to the emperor, and then go to the court to discuss it, and it will be passed."

As soon as Yan Song finished speaking, the old monks couldn't sit still, and they all rushed to the table, and all the old men were full of firepower.
