Sunset Volume Chapter III Priorities

Plenty of sunshine spread evenly in the yard through the thin clouds, and through the branches like fishing nets, two oblique figures were pulled out on the neat gravel road.

"Slow down." Zhang Junbao shook his head, "wiki, no matter how good you say, is a flower in the mirror, water in the moon. The urgent task is to repair the river immediately, and the river will open in the spring flood season. If it is not good, it will explode. "

"Not necessarily. Yu Zi, you know money is needed everywhere now. The housekeeper issued a decree to exempt the land tax owed by the world. Zhang Chongan is difficult to maintain there, and he has to transfer here at Taifu. "

"I also respect the name' Four Fortuna'." Zhang Junbao boldly held out his hand without any respect.

"Yu Zi don't have to dig at me. A teacher has money, but he can't squander it. Most of the money didn't fall into his pocket, so he had somewhere to go. The number I can involve is also extremely limited. Official and royal spending has been reduced again and again. As the minister of financial planning, I am ashamed. The rest of the money will naturally be used to the extreme, and it must not be sloppy. You won't object if you want to come. " Luo Jun 'an is telling the truth.

Zhang Junbao almost nodded.

However, he shook his head and said rudely, "It's no use if I object. The housekeeper and the queen mother cut back on their expenses, naturally they have a country in mind and forbear for it. But what's the use of shrinking the government without reducing the "xianggong" Gong bought a glass mirror, which is said to be 10 feet high and cost 40 thousand; Shi spent 36,000 yuan to buy a copy of Feng Jiuling's Jiuxi Smoke Tree Map. How much is public money? Don't you know the seasonal crisis? Not to mention the two "xianggong", even this mink cloak on you is at the end of the season. It is made of mink and is worth at least 20,000 yuan. " Zhang Junbao painfully shook his head. "One hundred thousand crowns, even if you can't build a big river, you can always clean up some rivers and leave people a chance to live."

"The glass mirror and the Jiuxi Smoke Tree Map are not privately owned by Wu and Shaanxi. The Yu Zi brothers want to leave. I only wear this cloak at home because I bought it from the official library. I know it is too ostentatious to wear it. "

"oh? But the Royal Treasury? "

"well. The official sympathized with the people and saved money, but he didn't want the royal family to suffer, so he sent some royal treasures to the official treasury for auction to raise funds. I felt guilty after hearing about it and bought them. "

"You are rich, and you will spend twenty thousand dollars. Unfortunately, the people in Cheng Nan will not see dozens of dollars from the end of the year. " Zhang Junbao wry smile way.

Luo Jun 'an blushed and immediately recovered and said, "It didn't cost that much."

Zhang Junbao stayed at a respectful distance from this matter and continued to beg money from the river workers: "Gyeonggi Road is the most important place, and the river workers can't wait any longer. If they don't build the river for four or five years, the old river worker will change careers. Repairing the river in the future is bound to get twice the result with half the effort and waste more money. No more, no less. You should allocate money first. I will repair and support the old-age river workers in Gyeonggi Road and bring new river workers here. Give me the full amount when the summer tax arrives. In case of autumn flood, you can make more repairs to make the best use of your money. You can have a clear conscience in the official office. "

Hearing Zhang Junbao's plan, Luo Jun 'an thought it was reasonable and almost agreed. Out of the habit of caution, let him ask another question: "How much are you going to spend on harnessing this river?"

"Five million dollars is enough." Zhang Junbao self-confident stare big eyes, stretched out his right hand and spread out his palm.

"Brother Yu Zi, we have something to say in the light, and we don't have to use the trick of one in two and one out." Luo Jun 'an didn't seem shocked or dull at all. On the contrary, he was calm, even disappointed in his eyes-Zhang Junbao was not the Zhang Junbao of that year.

"I'm telling the truth." Zhang Junbao, uncompromising, took out three thick letters from her pocket and solemnly handed them to Luo Junan. "Wikipedia, this is a detailed book I made, how to hire employees, when to hire employees, how to prepare materials, and how to spend geometry. I've figured it out, just look at it. Although I, Zhang Ziyu, am not a moral gentleman, I disdain to be an animal that deceives friends and relatives. "

Luo Junan took the letter and only read the beginning and end of each letter, with a rough overview in the middle. All kinds of tables, charts and formulas are clear, and they are really not fake.

He nodded and said, "I believe you. But five million dollars is beyond my ability. I'm not afraid of Yu Zi brothers' jokes. After the fifteenth day of the first month, I still have less than five million living money. "

"Don't embarrass Jiwei at a time, and don't give it together at a time. From beginning of spring to the spring flood, just give 500,000 passes, so that the river of Gyeonggi Road can be repaired enough. If it goes well, the Henan government and the Daming government can also repair some of them. "

"I can't do it." LuoJunAn don't want to say too much, "jade son brother and this person, I admire. It's just that we have to prioritize. As far as you are concerned, river engineering is the first priority, and it is urgent. For Yu Di, river engineering is very important, but it is not the first. Military attaché s, commercial taxes, sensational maritime affairs, and foreign countries all need money and are all neglected. "

"You are the slaughter, of course, to consider the overall situation. My pattern is too small, please. " Zhang Junbao complained.

"Brother Yu Zi is very angry." Luo junan laughed it off. "Let's go with my silly brother."

Say that finish, LuoJunAn came to the yard under the towering tree. Zhang Junbao doesn't want money, so he has to keep up.

Luo Jun 'an pointed to the big tree in front of him and said to Zhang Junbao, "You've seen this tree in summer. What's it like to come back in winter?"

"Bald branches and broken leaves, the boss is in vain." Zhang Junbao said you're welcome.

"yes. In vain, boss. More than that, look at this trunk, "Luo Jun pointed forward. "In summer, there are branches and leaves everywhere, and no one pays attention to these wormholes and rotten skin on the trunk, but do you see it clearly now?"

Zhang Junbao react LuoJunAn what to say, silent.

"The dynasty is like this big tree." Luo Jun 'an said, "The season is not satisfactory, and the boss has a hollow reputation and many disadvantages." But at least it can be maintained. When Wu Gong and Shan Gong presided over the New Deal, it didn't mean that there were any clever tricks to make the tree flourish in winter, but they tried their best to keep its vitality, let it come in spring and flourish again when summer came, and then they could only see it by eliminating disadvantages and promoting benefits. If you gouge out wormholes and peel off rotten skin in winter, I'm afraid the tree will collapse before it's finished. The same is true of river workers. "

"Repairs must be repaired, that is, there is no money now." Zhang Junbao defy spirit connect a way.

"Well, that's probably it. However, a person I know has the best water conservancy, is resourceful and is good at invention and creation. "

"Well, it's a pity that there is no money to repair the embankment." Zhang Junbao interrupted LuoJunAn compliment.

Luo junan is not annoyed. He just smiled and said, "In the story of the China Dynasty, the highest cost of a river worker was 3.2 million to 3.7 million kroner every year when the temple was announced. Secondly, when the temple is high, the Beijing-Guangzhou River will be opened, and many canal water conservancy projects will be started at the same time. The annual resettlement cost is only 3 million. "

Zhang Junbao understood that Luojunan was telling the truth and did not deny it.

"In a normal year, the fees charged by river workers do not exceed three million, mostly between two million three hundred thousand and two million seven hundred thousand. We set the median at 2.5 million. Right? "

Zhang Junbao nodded his head after hearing this.

"What you want is twice as much as usual. Don't talk about yourself. Other government officials may deserve it? Still those three words' can't be done'. "

Zhang Junbao's eyebrows screwed up again after hearing this, but he remained silent.

"Since you said that river affairs are urgent, no one can turn a deaf ear. I can give you wealth first. Just as you said just now, clean up part of the river first and leave the people a chance to live. "

"Two different things. Simply cleaning up a part of the river is enough. " Zhang Junbao immediately retorted, "But I want to raise those old river workers, and I don't have enough wealth. Gather them together, clean up the river and disband. Isn't this a waste of public money? In the future, water conservancy repairs will depend on them. When it's used up, it's dismissed, and people are scattered. It will be difficult to get together again. "

"How much did you say?"

"500,000 kronor ... at least 200,000 kronor, otherwise the river worker can't maintain it." Zhang Junbao shook his head. "I will recalculate how many rivers I can build and then compile a detailed book."

"Why? This detailed book is very good. " Luo Jun 'an said.

"Different, different. The practice of 500,000 crowns is 500,000 crowns and the practice of 200,000 crowns is 200,000 crowns. That detailed book is not accurate. " Zhang Junbao said disappointedly.

"I'm not sure about 200,000 kronor, but150,000 kronor can be disbursed immediately." Luojunan stare big eyes looking at Zhang Junbao, touching his nose and said.

"No, you can't make up your mind." Zhang Junbao was furious, "rather than doing bad things, it is better not to do them. One hundred and fifty thousand, I will never recall the old river worker, so I have to use the new river worker to repair it. In view of the area of Gyeonggi Province, you are only willing to allocate150,000. Luo Can is worthy of Shouyang people? "

The page on the porch leaned out and looked into the yard. He saw Luo Jun 'an's gesture far away and shrank back at once.

"Zhang annoyed, wait for me to finish. From beginning of spring to spring flood, I will dial150,000 for you. The name is bank for the spring flood. There are good gentlemen in both capitals. A few years ago, many of them served in the court. I'll introduce them to you. To put it bluntly, how much you can get with 50 thousand depends on Zhang Ge's skill. "

Seeing that Zhang Junbao was appeased, Luo Jun said confidently, "The total appropriation is two million yuan, which is the limit I can promise. How much depends on this year's summer tax and maritime trade risks. "

"Maritime trade risk? What happened in the South China Sea? " Zhang Junbao keen asked.

"More than the South China Sea." Luo Jun Ann joked: "There must be something important in the north and south of the dynasty, and the import of maritime trade may not be safe this year. This is why I dare not promise you too much river money. "

"All right. Two million dollars is better than nothing. Gyeonggi, Xijing and Beijing have been completed, but the upstream counties, especially Hedong and Shaanxi Yanhe counties, are unable to do so. "

"Step by step, you must have your own priorities." Luo Junan acquiesced in Zhang Junbao's plan. "The changes between the north and the south were clear before April, so the second sum of 300,000 yuan was allocated to the reclamation area in early April. The name is reclamation water conservancy dredging, which is counted in the reclamation department or used by your water department. "

"Too little, at least 500,000." Zhang Junbao's habitual fare increase.

"ok."

Zhang Junbao didn't expect LuoJunAn to agree, thinking that he had heard wrong.

"Then allocate another 500,000 kronor in April." Jun-an Luo saw Zhang Junbao's surprise. "Anyway, it is * * * two million yuan, which is convenient for each other."

"Rational, rational."

"As soon as the summer tax arrives, I will solve the water supply department1200,000 yuan, which is an autumn flood. The last sum of money was allocated before the twelfth lunar month and calculated at the post office of the Ministry of Industry. The name is dredging the river to Beijing, and150,000 * * * can still be used. How come? "

"Directly allocated to the Ministry of Water Resources1350,000 ..."

"You have a brother-in-law like Ji Youcheng. What is there to worry about such a trivial matter? " Able to shrug off LuoJunAn said.

"All right. It is best to explain that it is assisted by the Ministry of Water Resources if funds can be allocated. " Zhang Junbao or some not trust.

"Do you want to write' It must be handled by Zhang Junbao of the Ministry of Water Resources'?" LuoJunAn didn't good the spirit said, "relax. If you want to benefit the people and not seek personal gain, no one will embarrass you. "

"Ah. I hope that this year's weather will be smooth and rich. "

"Good ambition. If so, next year will be better. " Luo Jun 'an said: "If there is no big change in the South China Sea this year, I dare to allocate you 3 million next year."

"So you really are the god of wealth. People all over the world should remember your kindness. " Zhang Junbao laughed.

"People remember is not important, I just want to give money, you and I can often come and go. Don't let Brother Kong break up the friendship of the same family. "

"The lesson of a good brother is." Zhang Junbao nodded and changed the subject. "What happened in the South China Sea?"

"Young lang, courage is commendable. Di Wentai, the eldest son of the Duke of Chang 'an in the State of Qi, sent troops to attack the river. "

"Traveling to Wan Li is not the best policy of the art of war."

"Not only that." Luo Jun 'an said: "The capital of He Zai Mai Guo is far away. Di Wentai sent troops this time, but it is a farther Kunlun Island. "

"Jinzhou District League is afraid of an accident."

"yes. This is worry. Zhou Heye put up with Mai for so long that he didn't start work, and Di didn't go far to Wan Li. It's really amazing. "

"Harmony, cao? Mayiguo has always wanted to get her hands on Kunlun Island. "

"It's not clear. It's just that I heard that Guo Yong and foreign powers are fighting in Dongzhou, but I don't know if this is true or not. Cao Guo also has rebellion in Dongzhou. If it is true, it is fortunate in misfortune. "

"It's okay." Zhang Junbao's heart is full of sadness-if the South China Sea starts fighting, no river worker will care.
