Chapter 180 Betting on Heads with Lu Zhi
Zhang Yu made a condition to the emperor.
"The fox's tail finally came out."
"Zhang Yu is indeed so greedy that even a township lord can't satisfy him."
"I see what Zhang Yu dares to ask for this time."
Everyone silently despised Zhang Yu in their hearts, thinking that this time he wanted the lion to open his mouth.
"Zhang Aiqing, please tell me. Just tell me what you need, as long as I can drink this fairy wine every day." Liu Hong said.
"Your Majesty, the Immortal Brew is not a problem. I will always supply it to Your Majesty. However, Jiangdong is thousands of miles away from Luoyang, and the road is difficult. I am afraid that I will not be able to send the Immortal Brew to Luoyang in time for Your Majesty to enjoy." Zhang Yu replied loudly.
Liu Hong was very moved, and said excitedly: "Loyal minister, loyal minister, this is my loyal minister." Liu Hong praised loudly.
Liu Hong went on to say: "Zhang Aiqing, please tell me, if you have any requirements, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help Zhang Aiqing."
"Your Majesty, I think I can build a fast road from Luoyang to Jiangdong. At that time, not only the immortal wine, but also any treasures I get from the East China Sea can be delivered to Luoyang immediately for your majesty to enjoy." Zhang Yu said .
"Okay, okay, I'm sure." When Liu Hong heard it, Zhang Yu was so sensible, and everything was for his sake.
Liu Hong thought that there must be many treasures in the East China Sea, and Zhang Yu would definitely give them to him as soon as possible, so how could he be unhappy, and why would he not agree to Zhang Yu's request.
It's just that after Liu Honggang finished speaking, the faces of many officials below changed drastically.
To build Chidao, tens of thousands of people are needed at every turn, not to mention the huge investment, and a lot of officials and people must be mobilized.
Huangfusong, Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun and other insightful people all know that this is not a good thing for the current big man, or even a disaster.
Cai Yong was also surprised by Zhang Yu's generosity.
"Your Majesty, you can't. The veteran objected to this matter with death." Cai Yong was a man of literary temperament and knew the serious consequences, so he came out immediately and said.
"The minister seconded the proposal."
"The minister seconded the proposal."
Huangfu song and Zhu Jun immediately came out to support Cai Yong.
"Zhang Yu's move is a disastrous move for the country, and the veteran must not agree to it." Lu Zhi came out and said.
Liu Hong was dumbfounded, he didn't quite understand what would happen with the construction of the road.
Isn't it just building a road? As for that?
Or do they not see themselves well?
Zhang Yu seemed to be prepared for the accusations from everyone, so he was not surprised.
"Zhang Yu, what on earth is your intention? The previous dynasty built the road, and as a result, too many people were used, causing chaos in the world. You are trying to mess with me." Lu Zhi's market was explosive, and seeing that Liu Hong didn't respond, he turned over Pointing at Zhang Yu and cursing.
Zhang Yu rubbed his nose, but he didn't expect Lu Zhi's reaction to be so huge.
But Zhang Yu was not moved, this was not a whim on his mind, he already had a complete plan.
After Lu Zhi scolded Zhang Yu, he said to Liu Hong, "Your Majesty, this Zhang Yu is ambitious and should be beheaded."
Liu Hong became a little uneasy. He didn't understand anything, but seeing that the ministers were so opposed and threatened with death, Liu Hong also became worried.
"Zhang Aiqing, why don't you tell me." Liu Hong didn't want to give up the immortal brew or the treasures in the East China Sea, so he gave Zhang Yu a chance to explain.
Zhang Yu stepped forward, exchanged glances with Lu Zhi, and then at Cai Yong and the others.
"Your Majesty, what I have done is not as harmful as the bosses said. Not only that, it is only good for stabilizing the world." Zhang Yu said.
"Hehe." Cai Yong sneered and said, "The example of the previous dynasty is vivid in my memory. It will cost so much to build the road. It will be strange if it doesn't shake the world."
Zhang Yu bowed to Cai Yong and said: "Lord Cai, I don't want to go into the matter of the previous dynasty. If I can tell you a reason and a plan that is harmless to the people of the world, what should you do?"
Before Cai Yong could answer, Lu Zhi, who had the same upright personality, came out and said, "If that's the case, I will be your subordinate and personally promote the construction of Chidao."
"Okay, I bet on this matter, and the bet is still on the head. If I lose,
If the head falls, if Lu Gong loses, he will personally preside over the construction of Chidao. " Zhang Yu said loudly above the golden palace.
Everyone was stunned, Zhang Yu was addicted to betting on heads.
Lu Zhi was also stunned, he didn't expect Zhang Yu to speak so loudly.
Liu Hong on the top became happy, and things turned around. Maybe it is really possible to build Chidao.
After Zhang Yu finished speaking, he bowed to Liu Hong, looked at several ministers, and said, "Everyone, I believe everyone understands the great benefits of running the road and the military and people's livelihood, but the construction of the road is huge, and the imperial court cannot afford it." Such a burden."
"Therefore, all the expenses for building Chidao will be borne by the subordinates, and there is no need to apportion hard labor, and no one needs to be recruited. Will this shake the foundation of my country?" Zhang Yu asked.
"Haha, Fang Yao, Zhang Yu, you are talking too loudly. Even the imperial court can't build a galloping road. You dare to go down like this." Lu Zhi laughed after hearing this.
Zhang Yu stared at Lu Zhi and said in a deep voice: "May I ask Mr. Lu, if it is true as what I said below, will it shake the foundation of my country?"
"No hard labor, no money from the court, of course it will not shake the foundation of my great man, but there is no money and no one, how can you build this Chidao." Lu Zhi said.
Several other ministers also looked at Zhang Yu with a smile on their faces, thinking that he was just sensationalizing, in order to confuse the emperor and be ignorant.
"My solution is very simple. Relief from work can not only build the road, but also stabilize the whole world." Zhang Yu continued to speak in a big tone.
Several people didn't understand Zhang Yu's words, but seeing Zhang Yu's swearing, several people were also puzzled.
"Relief with work? What do you say?" Cai Yong asked directly.
Zhang Yu said calmly: "It's very simple. I provide food, recruit workers, and let them build roads. There are so many refugees in the world today, and they don't even have food. Give them a bite to eat, and give them a life." opportunity, they will surely come.”
"In this way, when the road is built, they can support themselves, and the refugees will go to build the road. Naturally, the place will not be disturbed, and the place will naturally be stable." Zhang Yu said.
After a few knowledgeable veterans thought about it, it was indeed a solution.
And it's a good way.
If these people have food to eat, they will not cause chaos.
The whole world can be cleared.
"The method is a good method, and it is indeed feasible, but this road construction requires hundreds of thousands or even more people. Where does the food come from? Where does the tool come from?" Lu Zhi asked eagerly.
"Just now, I have already said that if I don't take a penny from the court, I will pay all of it." Zhang Yu said.
Everyone looked at Zhang Yu suspiciously. This was not a small amount, but a huge amount of money.
"Oh, the court can't show it, how much wealth does Zhang Yu have." Yuan Kai said with a sneer.
"Your Majesty, what I said is the truth. I am loyal to the country, so I naturally want to share your worries. I want to brew ordinary immortal wine and sell it. All the proceeds will be used to build roads for Your Majesty and stabilize the world." Zhang Yu said to Liu Hong.
