Zhu Di quickly walked out of the dormitory and whispered: "Come out and say it."
His voice was no longer hoarse and tired.
Yi Shiha followed him out of the palace in a hurry.
Zhu Di frowned and said, "Tell it from the beginning."
Yishiha didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly told the whole story of what he could find out.
Zhu Di's eyes narrowed slightly. He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. After a long time, Zhu Di said: "If you put it this way... Put it this way... how did the land price rise?"
Yi Shiha said: "I have also checked the Dongchang side. The station... is uniquely endowed by nature. It will be a prosperous place for business in the future..."
Zhu Di suddenly realized: "Hey... why didn't I think of it? Yes, I remembered it. Zhang Qing... Zhang Qing once said that he had hoarded a lot of land at various stations, right?"
Yi Shiha said: "My servant also remembers that there are tens of thousands of acres."
Zhu Di took a breath: "Really?"
Zhu Di clasped his hands behind his back and continued to pace. He sometimes pondered, sometimes raised his head and said: "So...then Xia Yuanji and other unscrupulous guys insist on making trouble? Okay, they signed the deed and refused to admit it. It is really shameless."
especially."
Yishiha grimaced and wanted to say something in agreement, but after all, he still had some bottom lines that he could not say out loud.
You can't say this. You forced people to buy land at a high price. Now that the land price has risen, you signed the deed when they didn't react, but you want to kick them out.
Doesn’t this mean that you have used other people’s gold and silver to build your railway?
Zhu Di immediately said: "Let's put it this way... Let's put it this way... Let me think about it, let me think about it... Don't make any noise about this matter for the time being, just pretend that I don't know about it, do you understand? In the past few days, I have been
I'm feeling a little unwell, so I need to stay in the hospital for a few days and isolate myself from the inside and outside."
"Ah... Your Majesty, don't worry about the external affairs." Yi Shiha said.
Zhu Di said: "Let them solve these matters by themselves. Zhang Anshi hid in the model camp?"
"yes."
"It seems that he has been prepared for a long time and must have his own method. Then I will sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers." Zhu Di said: "If I am involved, do I still need this face?"
Yi Shiha said: "Your Majesty is wise."
The next day, the news came out and the world was shocked.
This matter was originally Zhang Anshi's fault. In addition, two ministers and many important officials of the court were involved. The Minister of Punishment, Jin Chun, directly complained of illness, which naturally aroused criticism from countless people.
There are crazy discussions in the streets and alleys now.
Originally, many people were extremely dissatisfied with Zhang Anshi and wanted to yell at him to kill him. Now that they have found fault with him, they naturally add fuel to the fire and criticize him.
Zhang Anshi hid in the camp, eating and sleeping with the three brothers Zhu Yong.
These days, Zhang Anshi is busy, and we don’t see each other much on weekdays. Now that we have reunited after a long time, we can’t help but become more intimate.
"Brother... you stay in the camp all day long, sister-in-law won't be angry, right?" Zhang Fu was more attentive and couldn't help but said when he saw Zhang Anshi doing nothing.
Zhang Anshi said: "She has gone back to her parents' home. I need to stay for another ten days and a half."
"Brother, I heard that many people outside are looking for you."
"Just let them look for it. It won't get in the way. This model camp is safer than the Forbidden City."
"But it's okay to hide all the time."
"Don't worry, the matter will be resolved soon." Zhang Anshi smiled.
At this moment, a man who looked like Jin Yiwei came to see him.
Zhang Anshi cheered up and said, "Ask him to come."
Immediately, a man in fish clothes hurried in, but it was Chen Daowen. Chen Daowen was still serving as Qianhu. He saluted Zhang Anshi and said, "I have met the governor."
Zhang Anshi sat down and said pleasantly: "How is it? How is the situation outside?"
"It's all over the place..."
Zhang Anshi said: "It doesn't matter, you can just say it."
Chen Daowen said: "The Governor...everywhere is scolding the Governor."
Zhang Anshi said: "How did they scold you?"
"I'm too humble to say it." Chen Daowen said timidly.
Zhang Anshi couldn't help but said: "Well, then I won't listen, so what else will happen?"
"The other thing is..." Chen Daowen said: "Xia Gong and the others are now on duty and will go to the Zhang family in the inner city..."
Zhang Anshi said: "How stingy..."
"Many people followed to join in the fun and stopped outside Zhang's house to watch."
"I know, I know." Zhang Anshi said, "Just keep asking. Also, you must remember not to take people indiscriminately."
Chen Daowen smiled bitterly and said: "Some brothers just can't bear it and sometimes listen to the discussions on the streets..."
Zhang Anshi smiled and shook his head and said: "You have to endure it. Being able to take advantage of others is nothing. Only those who endure what others cannot tolerate can become great people. Teach them to learn more from me. I have endured humiliation and heavy burdens, and haven't I come here calmly?"
"
Chen Daowen could only say: "Yes, I am humble... I must explain it."
Zhang Anshi nodded: "Go ahead, by the way, call Zhu Jin."
"yes."
In the evening, Zhu Jin came out panting.
When Zhang Anshi saw it, he smiled and said: "How is it?"
Zhu Jin said: "The arrangements have been made."
Zhang Anshi smiled slightly: "Very good, thank you for your hard work."
Zhang Anshi patted his shoulder, sighed and said, "The next step will be very interesting."
Zhu Jin smiled bitterly and said: "Captain...actually..."
Zhang Anshi interrupted him: "Okay, don't be nagging, go and do your business."
For more than ten days in a row.
Xia Yuanji still came to Zhang's house on duty.
He didn't believe that Zhang Anshi could hide for the rest of his life.
He couldn't swallow this breath.
No one in this life would dare to insult their own intelligence like this.
Of course, the most important thing is that both inside and outside the government, there is great sympathy for Xia Yuanji.
Even His Majesty can't say anything at this time.
If he, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, does not stand up at this time, other people who are suffering along with him will probably say that he is weak.
What's more, this is real gold and silver, and it is the Xia family's family property.
When everyone arrived at Zhang's house, the Zhang family actually cooperated and did not dare to stop them. They opened the door obediently. Xia Yuanji and others were very familiar with the Zhang family and went in immediately. The Zhang family even thoughtfully prepared a guest room for Xia Yuanji and others.
When he arrived in the room, Xia Yuanji sighed, and Xia Xuan, who had already gone on duty, also came to the room and poured a cup of tea for Xia Yuanji.
Hearing Xia Yuanji sigh, Xia Xuan said: "Father..."
Xia Yuanji waved his hand: "How polite and polite."
Xia Xuan said: "Father, forget it."
Xia Yuanji shook his head: "It can't be calculated. The atmosphere has reached this point. Even if I forget it, I'm afraid that I will be pushed back to the forefront of the storm both inside and outside the capital. You said... Zhang Anshi has earned so much ill-gotten wealth."
, why does he want to scrape away even this little bit of oil and water? This person is really greedy."
Xia Xuan said: "I heard that Zhang Anshi owes a lot of money..."
Xia Yuanji shook his head: "This is what worries me the most."
Xia Xuan said: "What father means is..."
Xia Yuanji said: "Zhang Anshi is a genius. I say it bluntly. When it comes to writing articles and being an official, I am ten times better than him. But when it comes to many wonderful ideas, I am not as good as him."
Such a person...if he can think about the common people and benefit the country, it will be considered a small thing. In the future, he who can revitalize the world and bring about the era of Yao and Shun as mentioned by the sage must be this son."
Xia Yuanji added: "But if such a person does not care about helping the world, but only cares about his family's selfish interests, and what he is thinking about is taking by force, the more intelligent he is and the more talented he is, on the contrary
It may harm the country. Think about it, he dares to do this even to the money of people like me, what if it is someone else?"
Xia Xuan said: "Father, why are you talking about this at this time?"
Xia Yuanji waved his hand: "You don't understand, I am a minister of the country. Hey... I think back then, Master Yao... laid down his life to pave the way for Zhang Anshi's New Deal. Who would have expected that now... he would be in such a situation?
Woolen cloth?"
Xia Xuan said: "Master Yao died because of..."
Xia Yuanji glanced at Xia Xuan cautiously: "These words cannot be said to others casually. Of course... this is just my guess, and it may not be true. Master Yao passed away. If it were someone else who died unjustly, I would think that
It may not be impossible. But what kind of person is Yao Guangxiao? He is so proficient in tactics that no one who can kill him has been born. Forget it, let’s not talk about these gossips. In any case, this time, I and Zhang Anshi... can be regarded as a fight.
, let’s see, he will never be able to shrink back.”
As he said that, he continued: "At the end of the month, there will be a court meeting. He, the majestic Duke, the governor of the Right Dudu Mansion, and the commander of the Jinyi Guards, should not go to court if he has the ability. Let's see how long he can hide. He will always come out and give us
An explanation.”
Xia Xuan said: "It's all my son's fault. My son... is really dead. If it weren't for me causing trouble..."
Xia Yuanji waved his hand, smiled and said: "It's not your fault, it's my fault. I'm blind."
I will stay here that night without mentioning it.
It's the end of the month.
There are still a lot of discussions inside and outside the capital.
People are talking about the current situation and whether Zhang Anshi is also staying behind closed doors.
Because of Zhang Anshi's shrinking, many people have become more concerned about it. No one in the capital is more willing to see Zhang Anshi's jokes than they are.
Yin hour two quarters.
At this time, the sky was still dark.
In the model camp, Zhang Anshi had already come out with a group of guards.
Zhang Anshi breathed white air from his mouth. Even though he was wearing thick clothes, he still felt that he could not withstand the chill of the night.
A group of guards protected him, and he immediately rode to the capital.
When it was close to Mao hour, we entered the capital and immediately went straight to the Meridian Gate.
Outside the Meridian Gate, hundreds of officials had entered the palace. When the palace door opened, all the princes filed in.
When Xia Yuanji came, he looked around, but he didn't see Zhang Anshi, and he felt disappointed.
The other princes were obviously disappointed. That An Shi... really didn't want to lose his face. What would he do in order to earn this money?
It was not until all the officials entered the Meridian Gate that Zhang Anshi came late on horseback. He fell off the horse, and then a eunuch came to greet him: "Captain Zhang... It's going to be late, it's going to be late, the time is coming."
Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "I arrived at the right time. Don't worry, I will definitely make it in time. Please help me enter the city gate to see if the people who entered the court have gone far."
The eunuch smiled bitterly and walked around the palace gate: "We are already a hundred steps away."
Zhang Anshi nodded and then went in, not forgetting to say: "Yes, he is very clever. Next time... I will find a chance to talk to my brother-in-law and teach the East Palace to take you to the East Palace."
After hearing this, the eunuch was flattered and hurriedly bowed down: "I am a half-disabled servant who is despised by others, but today I can be loved by the governor..."
Zhang Anshi waved his hand: "Okay, okay, see you later."
When Zhang Anshi appeared in Chongwen Hall, he immediately caused a sensation in the hall.
I never thought that Zhang Anshi would actually come today.
But at this time, in the palace, you need to pay attention to the court etiquette. No one can say anything, but a pair of eyes, one by one, rush to Zhang Anshi.
Zhang Anshi stood still.
Immediately, Zhu Di ascended the throne.
Zhu Di was waiting for Zhang Anshi to send someone to ask for leave yesterday. He waited here and there, but when he didn't wait, he wanted to scold him. This guy was very brave. If the court didn't come, he wouldn't even ask for leave. It was really presumptuous.
Now seeing Zhang Anshi standing in front of him with his face glowing red, Zhu Di shook his head in his heart, but soon he didn't take it to heart.
All officials saluted.
Zhu Di just said lightly: "What we discussed today..."
"Your Majesty..." Xia Yuanji stood up.
Zhu Di's eyes fell on Xia Yuanji. If he dared to think about me at this time, it seemed that Xia Yuanji was really angry this time.
Zhu Di smiled: "What are you going to do?"
Xia Yuanji said: "I am guilty of ten thousand deaths, and what I am playing is my family affairs. Today in the temple, I am thinking about my family affairs. It is really shameful. But... if I don't say this, I will feel like there is a lump in my throat.
So I am still determined not to vomit or feel unhappy."
Zhu Di shook his head and looked around in front of everyone.
Obviously, many people came with the mentality of watching the excitement, and they all had teasing looks on their faces.
Zhu Di said: "Say it, say it."
Xia Yuanji said: "I want to report to the Duke of Wei..."
Zhang Anshi stood up at this time: "Does Xia Butang want to report about that place?"
Xia Yuanji said: "What's the explanation for Duke Wei?"
Zhang Anshi said: "I won't explain."
Xia Yuanji: "..."
Zhang Anshi said: "Xia Budang, please calm down. This matter... is my fault."
Xia Yuanji: "..."
I originally thought that there would be a verbal confrontation, but who knew that Zhang Anshi's attitude would be so low-key.
However, it is impossible for a person to be fooled twice, so Xia Yuanji was even more wary: "Then what will happen to Duke Wei?"
Zhang Anshi said: "All the previous deeds are invalid. These lands should belong to Xiabutang, and they belong to Xiabutang. Not only that... I, Zhang Anshi, am also willing to compensate for the other mental losses caused by Xiabutang.
Let’s see, how about all the interest paid on the bank loans by each family to me, Zhang Anshi?”
Xia Yuanji: "..."
Everyone in Chongwen Hall looked at Zhang Anshi in astonishment.
Is this still Zhang Anshi? They have never seen Zhang Anshi look so resigned.
Xia Yuanji pouted and was speechless. He was a little confused and couldn't understand why Zhang Anshi gave in like this.
In fact, this matter is a matter of public opinion and mother-in-law's rights. From a moral point of view, Zhang Anshi is indeed unkind, but from a legal point of view, after all, the contract he signed in black and white, even if he can choose
If something goes wrong, it's just an unsolved case.
But Zhang Anshi actually gave in directly, and he was even willing to bear the interest on the loan.
The interest from so many people is still a lot of money.
Zhang Anshi said: "Why, Xia Budang still feels dissatisfied?"
"This... this..." Xia Yuanji didn't know where to start.
Zhang Anshi said: "Since Mr. Xia has nothing to say, what does Jin Butang...what does Jin Butang think?"
After Jin Budang "fainted" for a few days, his condition improved a long time ago and he was on duty obediently. He originally thought it was a bad battle, but little did he know that before he even started attacking, the opponent was already on his knees.
He coughed: "It would be great if it could be solved like this."
Zhu Di: "..."
Instead, Zhu Di showed a look of displeasure on his face. You, Zhang Anshi, just cheated people out of their money. After all, Zhang Anshi sold the land and signed the deed in the name of a trading company. Wouldn't this have caused huge trouble?
If you go too far, won’t you still earn the money?
In that trading company, I accounted for the majority.
It's just that at this time, it's inconvenient to happen.
Zhang Anshi said: "Then... I would like to congratulate Xia Budang, Jin Budang and all the other gentlemen. As far as I know, your land has now increased to 1,300 taels of silver. This land has been returned to you."
, In this way, the land that originally cost 500 taels per acre, turned around and made a net profit of 800 taels. Congratulations, congratulations..."
After Xia Yuanji heard this, his head suddenly became filled with blood, and he subconsciously asked: "It's so much?"
After saying this, he regretted it. These words should not have come from his mouth.
Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "Isn't it so? It's strange to say that the original land price was actually tepid. Although some people are interested, but... with so much land on hand, it is not easy to sell them all.
.But guess what?”
Everyone looked at Zhang Anshi and held their breath.
Seeing Zhang Anshi pause here, everyone raised their ears, but couldn't see what was going on, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Zhu Di couldn't bear it anymore: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Zhang Anshicai said with a smile: "But since the Xiabu Tang people caused trouble, the world was shaken, and the public was furious, it's really strange... Many people both inside and outside the court came to inquire about the land at various stations in Taiping Mansion.
Now, everyone is vying to buy it. I really can't resist such enthusiasm, and I keep raising the price, but there are so many buyers, and there are people who don't even blink, and they do it as soon as they say it, so...
Get up, thanks to the gentlemen Xia Budang and Jin Budang. If it weren't for you... I really don't know how to sell my more than 17,000 acres of land.
All of them have been sold out, and the prices have been rising day by day. Your Majesty... I... I don't know how to express my gratitude to Duke Xia and Duke Jin."
After Zhu Di heard this, his pair of narrow eyes suddenly turned into leopard eyes.
At this moment, many people are finally starting to come to their senses.

When the second chapter arrived, I was still a little weak, so I took a break before writing it. It’s even later, sorry.
