Wang Fu thought seriously for a moment, nodded, and said: "That's fine, but I don't know how you are going to formulate this fund for raising integrity?" Wen Renxi took a sip of tea and then said: "I did a rough calculation.
Starting from a hundred stones, converted into two thousand coins, and gradually added up, it is enough to make the officials have no worries about food and clothing. In addition, Zhang He's embroidered envoys will be set up in the future to be responsible for raising money."
"From conversion to distribution, it cannot go through the hands of ministers. It can only be done through the embroidered messenger."
"The Messenger of Embroidered Clothes is a close confidant of the Emperor. He is also well-informed and is also an expert at investigating the details..."
The two started chatting, starting from Yang Lianjin to various current political affairs. Wang Fu suddenly found that he and Wen Renxi, who he was not familiar with, actually got along somewhat. The two of them had many political views in common, which made Wang Fu
Wang Fu, who had never experienced the feeling of a confidant, suddenly felt a little complicated, and his eyes towards Wen Renxi were no longer so cold, and Wen Renxi was even more so.
Although he was loved by many scholars and officials in the court, and was considered one of the most prestigious leaders in the party, he did not have many close friends and confidants. When chatting with Wang Fu, Wang Fu said a lot that made him
I am also very interested in measures, such as taking out the books currently collected and the books privately collected in the palace, and setting up a reading department, so that scholars all over the world can benefit.
Wen Renxi was thinking, how much should I charge a scholar to join this literary department?
Wang Fu was also impressed by Wen Renxi's various opinions, such as water transportation. During the process of governing Yangzhou, Wang Fu had already discovered the important role of water conservancy and saw Yangzhou's developed shipbuilding industry. There were some large ships in Yangzhou, and even
It can operate in strong winds and waves, and can transport millions of stones. If it is used to hide troops, the effect is not small!
He had long had the idea of promoting Yangzhou's shipbuilding industry and digging canals to make the north and south smooth. Wen Renxi's proposal was exactly in line with his, and even more detailed than his. After all, he only had a first draft in mind, while Wen Renxi had already
He has begun to formulate plans. He has already begun planning to dig a canal between Gaotang in Qingzhou and Yishui, which can connect the heartland of Youzhou in Jizhou with the river.
In this way, it will not only be beneficial to the surrounding irrigation, but also directly transport the grain from Jizhou and Youzhou from the canal into the river, and then transport it directly from the river to Luoyang, Yangzhou, Qingzhou, Jingzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou, Si
Li and other areas will be connected by a canal, which will be a great benefit to people's livelihood. After hearing this, Wang Fu was amazed!
The more the two of them talked, the happier they became. They chatted until late at night. Wang Fu was unwilling to leave. He didn't light a candle when he heard about the attack. He put on a few more clothes and sat in the courtyard, taking advantage of the moonlight to continue chatting.
Talking about the excitement, I couldn't help but drink some wine. The house slaves were standing in the distance. They didn't sleep when they heard that he was attacked. They didn't dare to rest, so they could only wait.
These domestic slaves did not understand the content of their conversation at all. Unknowingly, the two of them had negotiated six canals. If these six canals could be built, the north, south, east, and west of the Han Dynasty could be connected through various waterways. Logistics
It is no longer difficult to transport grain and grass, and the same is true for transporting troops. There is no longer a need to walk for several months. If Duan Xi wants to go from Luoyang to Beidi County again, it will only take two days to arrive with a favorable wind!
After chatting for a long time, Wang Fu shook his head in admiration and said, "I only wish I didn't get to know you earlier!"
Wen Renxi was stunned and said with a smile: "Hahaha, we met today, but it's not too late."
Wang Fu looked at the simple decorations around him and asked with some confusion: "How come you are so poor with two thousand stones?" When Wang Fu asked, Wen Renxi was stunned, frowned, and did not speak for a long time. Wang Fu looked at
Looking at him, Wen Renxi said with some melancholy: "It's not that you are poor, this is enough, this is enough." Wang Fu laughed and said: "I have heard for a long time that the court heard that the man loves money as much as his life, and will not pluck out a dime.
It seems so indeed!”
Wen Renxi smiled, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said with some nostalgia: "I Wen Renxi can be regarded as a queen from a famous family, but in my father's generation, it has completely declined. My father does not understand business, let alone be able to observe."
Because of his filial piety and honesty, his family was extremely poor. At that time, the late emperor asked for fifty yuan as a gift, hahaha, but you don’t know that at that time, the taxes were paid, and the family only had enough food to fill their stomachs..."
"The total assets of my family are only sixteen yuan... We can't pay the tribute. In the end, we can only convert the remaining rations in the family into grain..."
"My mother handed me a bowl of water. There were only a few grains of millet in the water. I ate the bowl of love water, but my father and mother starved to death..."
"From that day on, I made a vow that during my lifetime, I would make sure that the national treasury was full, that no one would starve to death, and that my family would not be ruined because of a mere fifty dollars... If it were then, I would have thirty more people in my family.
Four coins..."
Wang Fu was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at the most stingy minister of this big man. Under the moonlight, his eyes were shining with crystal tears. For some reason, Wang Fu, who had always been arrogant, suddenly became in awe of this man.
At this time, inside the palace,
Candles were lit in the hall, and the little fat man was watching the memorial reports from various places. On one side stood Song Dian, and on the other side stood Xun You. Both of them lowered their heads, not daring to disturb the emperor. The little fat man watched carefully, and took the
I got out the pen and ink and started writing and reviewing. The first thing was Duan Xi's report. Duan Xi won a great victory this time, and Zhang Huan's death cannot be blamed on him.
Because he already has the rank of general, he has the power to promote and promote meritorious officers in the army. However, before that, he naturally has to write a report to the emperor to ask for his opinion. Regarding military matters, Xiao
The fat man never dared to look down upon it. He read it over and over again very seriously. He nodded when he saw familiar names such as Sun Jian and Dian Wei.
He has no doubts about the loyalty of these people. These are the soldiers of the Southern Army who he recruited. Now they are each shining with their own glory. For example, Sun Jian even served as a captain because of his merit. As long as the little fat man agrees, he may
He was the youngest captain during the Jianning period. Duan Xi was also eager to train these generals. Even if he could not confer all of them as captains, he still wanted to appoint a military commander who could command the army alone.
As for Duan Xi himself, the reward and canonization has not yet been issued. It is not that the little fat man is unwilling to reward him, but that his contribution is a bit great and needs to be discussed again. When the contribution reaches a certain level, Duan Xi becomes more cautious and must follow everything.
The little fat man reported that he was afraid of arousing the little fat man's jealousy. The little fat man could also feel his caution and fear from his writing, which made the little fat man feel a little relieved.
If he gradually becomes domineering, then...
After the little fat man finished handling these military memorials, it was time for Lu Zhi and Yang Qiu to report to the new state. Because these two states were newly established, there were many things that they needed to report and discuss with the little fat man. If they acted rashly, it would be easy to get
Lu Zhi is not afraid of sin. He is completely loyal to the emperor, but Yang Qiu knows the emperor's methods and may be a little afraid of the emperor in his heart. Every time he does something, he has to report it three times.
