"Mr. Ji?" Fusu was stunned, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Zhang Cang nodded and said seriously: "That's Ji Heng."
"This method was thought up by Ji Heng."
"He has better knowledge and familiarity with the specific situation and is therefore more appropriate."
"Furthermore, if the young master leaves this matter to others, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve the goal that Ji Heng wants. Ji Heng designed this uniquely. He may have already thought about the follow-up in his mind. If the young master handles it improperly, he may still be in trouble. It will affect subsequent changes.”
"That's why I suggested that Ji Heng personally participate."
"I know that the young master is worried."
"Ji Heng is a remnant of the Six Kingdoms. He was sentenced to death some time ago. He is already dead in the eyes of the world. It is indeed not suitable to be seen in public. But the young master may not know something. When the court was convicting people who were close to Ji Heng, He was also implicated and has moved to northern Xinjiang this morning."
"Not many people in Xianyang know Ji Heng right now."
"As long as you use a little protection, nothing will go wrong."
"Otherwise."
"Ji Heng can be asked to wear a mask or make some disguises so that others cannot easily detect him."
"And Ji Heng is already 'dead'. His reputation in the city was not well known in the past, and not many people care about him. It is almost impossible for anyone to recognize him."
"They will only think that the young master has a hermit by his side!"
"Young master, you can rest assured."
Hear the words.
Fusu's eyebrows moved slightly.
He admitted that he was a little moved, but still a little hesitant.
The main reason is that if Ji Heng's death is exposed, it will have a very bad impact on Da Qin.
It can even lead to contempt.
He had to be cautious.
Again.
The reason why he told Zhang Cang was because Zhang Cang already knew about Ji Heng's existence.
Fusu is very self-aware of himself. He is not a man of great talent and learning, and many things cannot be seen clearly and cannot be understood clearly. However, Zhang Cang is knowledgeable and has a unique way of seeing people and things, so he deliberately gets close to him, so Only then would he proactively reveal the fact that Ji Heng was alive.
Otherwise.
He knew Zhang Cang's character.
Although many officials in the imperial court believed that Zhang Cang was as fat as a gourd and must have indulged in extravagance, he knew that Zhang Cang was full of talents under his big belly. With Qian Shi's age and rank, he can afford it.
Not a corrupt person.
He's not someone who can't hold back his words.
It’s just that Zhang Cang is Zhang Cang, and the others are others.
Finally, we need to weigh it again and again.
Zhang Cang stood aside quietly and did not speak again.
Fusu's expression flickered.
finally.
Still calm down.
Fusu said in a deep voice: "Then it's up to you."
"I'll go talk to Mr. Ji in a few days, but Mr. Ji has an indifferent temperament, so I may not be able to persuade him."
Fusu smiled bitterly, looking quite helpless.
Zhang Cang's eyes lit up and he said quickly: "Young Master is extremely righteous."
"No matter what the final result will be, the young master has really tried his best."
"No one can be blamed."
"I also believe that since Mr. Ji has a gap in his mind, he will not want his ideas to be hindered, let alone more accidents."
Fusu nodded.
Zhang Cang added: "In the next few days, I will arrange for several officials to inspect the situation of salt and iron in Guanzhong. Then I will come up with a relatively detailed method. As long as Mr. Ji completes the matter with the merchants, the matter should be solved." Put it on the agenda and start the official implementation.”
Fusu bowed and said: "Then there will be Yushi Lao Zhang."
Zhang Cang also bowed deeply and said: "I don't dare to be such a great gift as a young master."
"The minister has done very little in this matter."
"This is Ji Heng's idea. He may have a back-up plan. Some arrangements are obviously inappropriate, at least not in line with the current situation of the Qin Dynasty. The specific reasons are only known to Ji Heng, so I have the courage to let the young master go. Please ask Ji Heng to come out."
"I hope you don't mind me, sir."
Fusu said: "It should be so, why is it so strange?"
immediately.
He still asked with some confusion: "Zhang Yushi, what do you think Mr. Ji intends to do with these inappropriate places?"
"I don't know." Zhang Cang gave a helpless smile and said, "Although I am proficient in economic matters, I am also proficient in numbers, but Mr. Ji has never followed common sense, and his thoughts are very different from ordinary people. Unless Mr. Ji is willing Take the initiative to say it, otherwise it may be difficult for anyone to guess it truthfully."
"I can't do the same."
"but."
Zhang Cang paused for a moment and said: "If Ji Heng is really dedicated to Qin, it is not a bad thing. Once this move is made, within a few years, the imperial court's commercial tax will be greatly increased. If there is more commercial tax, the imperial court will not risk it." However, adding more taxes can be regarded as relieving the people's difficulties."
"It's just that this method rarely lasts long."
"It's like pulling out seedlings to encourage them to grow. If there is no follow-up, it may cause even greater disasters."
"But according to the situation on the bamboo slips, I am afraid that Ji Heng has already thought about the follow-up. Even if I am not wrong, these untimely existences were deliberately revealed by Ji Heng, just to show that there is a follow-up and to prevent the young master from giving birth to these things. misunderstanding."
Hear the words.
Fusu smiled awkwardly.
He didn't think so, because he didn't see it at all.
Ji Heng's move was clearly intended for the First Emperor, and he was just a messenger.
Think of this.
Fusu suddenly understood why the First Emperor told him not to submit it anymore. He was afraid that the First Emperor had already guessed this and knew that Ji Heng would do this, so he didn't want to care about what he was doing. All the First Emperor cared about was the final result.
As long as it achieves its goal, it's a good idea.
Fusu was thoughtful.
It was impossible for him to tell these things.
After a few simple words, the topic was ignored.
Zhang Cang has a clear conscience and will not reveal it.
Both of them understood it tacitly.
Fusu asked some other questions, and Zhang Cang answered them all in detail.
After staying in the Political Palace for almost half an hour, most of Fusu's doubts were explained, and he was quite satisfied with this trip.
Fusu bowed to Zhang Cang and said apologetically: "I disturbed Yushi Zhang today."
"It's getting late, so I won't continue to disturb you."
"Zhang Yushi should not take Mr. Ji's matter to heart. No one else will know what Zhang Yushi knows."
Zhang Cang smiled bitterly, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Sir, for hiding this for me."
"Zhang Cang is grateful."
Fusu glanced at Zhang Cang, turned around and left.
Zhang Cang watched Fusu leave.
When Fusu walked away, Zhang Cang's face drooped, as if he was discouraged and his energy was listless. He smacked his palms hard and secretly kowtowed: "Zhang Cang, Zhang Cang, you are usually not so controllable." Mouth? Why can’t you control it this time? "
"Ji Heng's matter involves a wide range of things, and is even related to His Majesty."
"Can you know this?"
"You have heard some secrets before, and now you know about it. I am afraid that if you are not careful in the future, you will die."
"Why did you suddenly become confused?"
Zhang Cang blamed himself a few times.
Then he returned to his seat.
Looking at the honey pot placed behind the bamboo slips, Zhang Can couldn't help but sigh and said, "If you eat too much honey, bad things will happen."
"You little thing tricked me this time."
Zhang Cang sighed and sat on the mat.
He held the honey in his arms, took out a spoonful of it, tasted the taste carefully, and whispered: "What is Ji Heng's intention to change Guan Zhong's monopoly? And why do I feel that what he did Are you just stalling for time?"
"What can he do if he just delays?"
"Da Qin currently has many shortcomings that cannot be solved overnight. Even if he delays it for several years, how much can he change?"
"This is hundreds of years of resentment in the world."
"If he really wants to save Qin, he must not only quell the resentment of the world, but also eliminate the resentment of the world. This is probably beyond human power. If Ji Heng can do it, he may really be like a man from heaven."
"Can it really be done?"
Zhang Cang frowned.
He was very doubtful about this.
It's not that he doubts it, but that he is the censor who is in charge of the world's best plans.
Now the last accounting meeting has just ended. He has a deeper understanding of the affairs of the world than others, and he is also more aware of the predicament that Daqin is in today. Guandong has become more and more deviated from the imperial court. Compared with the past, the information submitted by officials has become more important. for shrinkage.
Guanzhong is tired.
Already overwhelmed.
Da Qin's high-pressure governance was destined to be difficult to maintain.
At present, the First Emperor is still alive and can still suppress him. Once something happens to the First Emperor, due to the exhaustion of Guanzhong and the rebellion of Guandong, the world will soon fall into turmoil. If the court does not handle it properly, it may cause even greater turmoil. Things are unpredictable.
It is precisely because of understanding that it becomes more difficult.
The number of evils and harshness in the world is truly shocking.
At present, almost all ministers in the court are shaken. The only hope is that the First Emperor's great government can end as soon as possible, and then the people can be released to recuperate. Maybe there can be improvements. But can the First Emperor's great government and great system really end soon?
Nobody knows.
No one dares to make any inferences.
Zhang Cang doesn't know either.
Even since last year, he has had the desire to escape.
I just didn't find a suitable excuse.
Now that Ji Heng appeared in the sky, Zhang Cang saw a ray of light, but this ray of light was very vague and it was difficult for people to cheer up.
There is just some hope.
"Ji Heng." Zhang Cang sighed softly and said in a condensed voice: "You are really making it difficult for me now. I don't even know whether I should leave or stay. If you participate in this meeting, you will know , the world of Da Qin is already terminally ill, and the governance of the world by Da Qin is so riddled with holes, so shocking."
"well."
The whole hall fell into silence.
a long time.
Zhang Cangcai raised his head and said silently: "If you can handle this matter well, I will trust you again."
"I also want to know what you can do in the past few years that you have delayed for Da Qin, and how much can you change the world?"
Zhang Cang sealed the honeypot and placed it again behind him.
Then he got up and walked out of the hall.
Now that you have decided to stay a little longer, you must fulfill your duties and do your part.
He went to find a few officials and gave the instructions to the eldest son. He also repeatedly warned that he must consider more, conduct more inspections, and make all arrangements detailed and appropriate. After all the instructions were arranged, Zhang Cang stepped forward. With heavy steps, he returned to his political palace.
