On the ninth day of April in the 15th year of Chongzhen in the Wei Dynasty, late spring and early summer were intertwined.
Today is the annual Cold Food Festival, and Tianxian Zun of Wangcheng wants to take a break for an outing.
But before he could even go out, he was blocked by an outrageously young figure.
"Anping, why do you come to see me when you have time?"
Looking at the child in front of him, Tian An'an couldn't help but ask softly.
In the entire Wei Lai Academy, the most normal and pleasing to the eye is Anping in front of him.
If he were not the third disciple of Confucius, after Wei Lai started his lectures, he would have accepted An Ping as the top disciple of the Tian family in Wangcheng Wei Lai Academy.
"Sir, senior brother sent me to borrow money."
Anping couldn't bear Tian's uneasy tenderness.
And his straightforward words made Tian Anxie, who was originally happy, instantly become cold.
"What if I don't borrow it?"
Tian Ansheng was a little angry.
Jianzi, you are so shameless.
No wonder the magpie was accidentally killed by Tian Xinxin this morning.
It turns out that the auspicious time has not come yet, and it is bad luck to go out.
"Elder brother said, let me hang myself at the gate of Tianjiazhuang."
Anping is like a dull puppet, resolutely carrying out his master's orders.
"I x you Chen Anzhi..."
What is tolerable is unbearable. Sun Keren and I will never tolerate it again.
The most distinguished official in the Wei Dynasty, who was once famous all over the world, finally couldn't help but use foul language.
.....
“The Beigu Base Area of the Great Wei Dynasty is a good design.
The south can help Wangcheng, the north can help Weinan, the west has the convenience of assimilating foreign races, and the east has the benefit of protecting the people and resisting monsters to cultivate land.
It has been more than seventy years since I was born in Wangcheng, and it is only today that I realize that Beigu is the center of Wangcheng. "
Seeing that Anping took out three feet of white silk and wanted to hang it on the tree, he had no choice but to invite this ridiculously mature child into the study for a detailed discussion.
After reading the Beigucheng construction plan dictated by Chen Anzhi and drawn by Anping, as well as various notes, he suddenly understood and was impressed by it.
It seems that the group of people in the mountains have not been hiding or idle for the past nine years.
"Tell me, how much do you want?"
As soon as this sentence was asked, it meant that Tian Ansheng agreed to borrow money.
"Six hundred thousand taels!"
Anping said without blushing or heart beating.
He told his senior brother that he only needed to borrow 500,000 taels, but with his nature of "I won't starve to death anyway", when the time comes, all the more than 100 people in Wei Lai Academy will go to other colleges, and everything will be wasted. They will all follow the southeast and northwest wind.
"Anping, Wangcheng's annual tax amount is only more than 300,000 taels.
Although I withheld millions of dollars, spending without a name can easily be framed.
You know, Tiannan County Sheriff is thinking of ways to force me to spit out the money. "
After hearing the amount Anping said, even though Tian Anping was confident, he still felt helpless and rogue.
"Elder brother said that people are good at helping those who are in need but not those who are poor. The country's chronic diseases arise from raising idle people.
Anyway, we have to spend money on disaster relief, so we might as well find something for them to do, using their labor in exchange for a full belly, so that the scoundrels who are sunbathing will not get money, but those who work hard to survive will not survive.
Therefore, we use work-for-relief to get money, and actually spend the money on people. "
Anping's words stirred Tian's uneasy heart.
Empty righteousness can actually be distorted to such reality.
Why did that guy Chen Anzhi become so enlightened after entering Xiantian?
Could it be that Tiansheng's God-killing Art has some effects that they have not yet confirmed?
...
“Credit for work?”
Looking at the Wangcheng Yasi funding application handed over by the county magistrate's office, Lai Junchen, who had his head bigger than the one who had taken away the camp, was stunned and suddenly became happy.
Is Chen Anzhi going to build a city for Heijia and cut off his own retreat?
"Go back to the Sheriff's Mansion, it's time.
If there is not enough money or craftsmen, Tiannan County Government will try its best to provide assistance.
Tell Magistrate Su that this is actually doing our own thing.
This department will report a secret report to the north, adding to his military achievements in the siege of Beigu and the battle to avenge the merchants of Dingnan, as well as the peace of the people in the snow disaster in Tiannan, he will add a great contribution to his achievements. "
He felt comfortable, thinking that Chen Anzhi's efforts would become his wedding dress in the future.
The tightness in my chest that had been holding me back for more than a month was finally released today.
Lai Junchen, the head of the Tiannan Merchant Department, made a rare decision to share the credit without hesitation.
As for the secret report, it is a power that only a merchant chief at his level can have, just like having a chief secretary and having a night owl.
He believed that as long as he gave Tiannan County Sheriff this credit, he would fall into his scheme without warning and would never be able to escape.
Then, there was the admiration for Chen Anzhi!
...
"Secret report from Tiannan!"
In the Holy City, the residence of Zhang Jingzhi, the chief minister of the Wei cabinet, was still brightly lit at this moment.
A chamberlain held a volume of documents high above his head, trotting and kneeling outside an ordinary courtyard, listening to the announcement.
Next to him, there was a whole row of people kneeling and holding documents like him.
"Go to Tiannan!"
There was a loud shout in the courtyard, and then the courtyard door slowly opened.
The chamberlain, bearing the "secret report from Tiannan", did not dare to hesitate and acted in response.
"read!"
The chamberlain Xiao Lizi is an old man who has been rewarded by your majesty to the chief minister for nine years.
After arriving in the courtyard and listening to the voice, he immediately carefully unfolded the document and read in a measured tone:
"In the late spring of the 15th year of Wei Chongzhen's reign, Chen Anzhi, the head of the merchant affairs department in Wangcheng, Tiannan County, Nanlu Prefecture, seized power and later asked Tian An'an, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, to take charge of Wangcheng.
In the spring, a total of 800 merchants, county soldiers, and militiamen from Wangcheng were gathered to attack and kill Qin Wushuang, a fierce bandit from the border who could not obey the rule of law. They avenged the defeat of Beigu twelve years ago and escorted the tax money for two years in advance.
The county governor, Su Qirong, was concerned about the country and the people. Chen Anzhi, the merchant chief of Wangcheng, and Tian An'an, the temporary county magistrate, used the work-for-relief method to relieve the snow disaster in the southern foothills and the north, and prepared to build Beigu Town. This move won the hearts of the people.
In addition, Marshal Dingnan requested military merit and was granted the title of Kokang Colonel, the head of Wangcheng's Merchant Department, and each of Wangcheng's department officials was promoted to one level...
The speaker is General Si Lu and Lord Tiannan Si Lai Junchen! "
...
"What do you think of the report from General Silu whom I personally selected?"
In the Jinluan Hall of the Holy City, a man asked towards the dark exit.
The general he chose, the result came from his report, which first went to the Grand Scholar's Office, the chief minister of the cabinet.
"Don't believe it!"
In the darkness, no one could be seen, but his words could be heard clearly.
“Even the general I personally selected cannot be trusted, and it really failed.
How can I talk about dynasty hegemony again? "
Emperor Chongzhen of the Wei Dynasty was only eighteen or nineteen years old, but his face was full of vicissitudes of life.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to blame yourself. The country is suffering from a long-term illness and we cannot wait any longer for him!"
In the darkness, another voice came to comfort me.
"How to not blame yourself?
If he had been the emperor in the first place, would he have done a better job than I do now? "
In response to Emperor Chongzhen's question, there was silence in the darkness for a long time, and there was no response at all.
"That's all, let's take a look again!"
After a long time, Emperor Chongzhen ended his conversation with Heiye with a heavy sigh.
