Chapter 315 Bidding for Construction
Since seeing Jia Qing appear at the banquet, Gao Zhisheng has an ominous feeling. At this time, the topic finally turned to himself, and Gao Zhisheng's heart was also entangled. When Duan Silian said that there was only one woman in the royal family to marry, Gao Zhisheng immediately thought of Duan Su. Gao Zhisheng was Duan Silian's best friend. The two of them often interacted with each other. At that time, Gao Zhisheng often went to Duan Silian and fell in love with Duan Su secretly. Later, of course, it was a military and state affair. Even if there were children's private affairs buried in his heart. This time, Gao Zhisheng came to Yangtuo City and thought that good things were approaching, but unexpectedly a basin of cold water was poured down.
Gao Zhisheng was a little annoyed. Seeing Jia Qing shaking his head, he said angrily, "What should I do about this? I listen to the will of the emperor. There is no need for outsiders to talk more here." After saying that, he looked at Duan Silian, who was sitting in the middle. At this moment, Duan Silian was staring at Gao Zhisheng. They all said that Gao Zhisheng's promotion of high power was quite bullying the master, and he was also suspicious in his heart. If he said that in those years, Gao Zhisheng was meritorious, but after all, he is now the king of a country, and he can't tolerate two tigers in one mountain. How can he be willing? Dali is divided into two,
Seeing Gao Zhisheng turn to himself, Duan Silian coughed, covered up the eyes he had just examined, and said coldly, "Since these two have come to Dali and offered good strategies, why should they divide the inside and outside? If it is for the sake of the country of Dali, is the prime minister willing to visit?"
At this moment, Gao Zhisheng suddenly felt that Duan Silian in front of him was very strange. Is this still the royal friend who used to be together? This person wears a crown, a dragon robe, and an indifferent face. He wants to marry his sister. Now he wants to exchange the lifelong happiness of his sister Duan Su for the stability of his throne. At this moment, Gao Zhisheng didn't fully think that there was something to let him do and test him. He hurriedly said, "Son, think twice, if there is an entanglement between Tubozhen and the Song Dynasty, it will be difficult for Dali to be self-dressing when there is a dispute at the border."
Duan Silian snorted coldly: "Don't forget, Minister Gao, although it is very dangerous for me to marry the imperial sister, it is for the people of Dali. If Jia Qing's plan is really effective, even if Dali does not take advantage of the fishermen, at least Wang Bian and Aligu will not use force against Dali, and it can ensure Dali's safety for the time being."
"Your emperor, this plan can't be used."
Jia Qing retorted, "The prime minister, why can't he do it? The emperor of Dali can give up his brother-s and sister's family affection for the sake of Dali. Does the prime minister have any personal feelings? Or does the prime minister also know that the king is arrogant and dares not go this trip."
Xuan Qing pulled La Jiaqing: "Mr. Jia, I wonder if the prime minister is already very comfortable in the white cliff. He doesn't want to wade in this muddy water. The emperor is deeply in love with the prime minister of the country. Hasn't the emperor just said it? In case something happens..."
Gao Zhisheng stared at these two people, biting his teeth and jumping. If you two hadn't come up with a bad idea, the emperor wouldn't have thought of it.
The atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became tense. Duan Silian really knew Gao Zhisheng too well. He sighed softly and said, "Oh, the prime minister, since you don't want to do this, I'll send someone else. Today's banquet will be practiced with you. When you return to the White Cliff, you can govern and guard the party well. The meaning of our kings and ministers who have assisted me for many years.
This is like a soft knife. Gao Zhisheng knew in his heart that he did not agree, not to mention Bai Ya, even Yang Tho City himself may not go out, and even if something happened to him, Miss Duan Su could not escape the fate of being regarded as a pawn.
Thinking of this, Gao Zhisheng blushed and gritted his teeth and said, "Your God, I am loyal to you. Since it is practice, I will not go back to Baiya and go directly to Yongzhou."
Gao Zhisheng also said angry words. He only brought a few bodyguards and two close maids to Yang Tho City this time. But since he was angry, it was blocked to the end. At this moment, he saw that the emperor who was defending himself was so suspicious of himself, and he had no choice but to send his favorite woman with his own hands. Maybe this is my own doom, and it is also a period of evil fate. Thinking of this, Gao Zhisheng is already disillusioned,
As Yan'er said, Gao Zhisheng was purely angry and came to Yongzhou to offer gifts. He arrived many days earlier than Wang. On the one hand, Dali was close to Yongzhou, and on the other hand, Wang's side went to Yangzhou and Linchuan for many days. At this time, Jia Qing had been to Tubo. When he came back from Tubo, he did not return to Dali directly, but sneaked to Yong. Zhou, this is Gao Zhisheng's past experience. At this moment, he is rushing to Songshou County with Zhang Ping and Wu Ling.
In the past few days, Songshou County has been very lively. The big and small officials from Yongzhou and the king, as well as businessmen from all over the country who heard the news, have come here one after another. The large and small management post in the small county, and the restaurants and inn are full of people. Li Cong, the governor of Songshou County, was even more busy. On the one hand, he organized manpower to pay attention. The order of the county, on the other hand, is ready to welcome the new prince next to the king who is going to build a dock in Songshou County,
When he arrived at the gate of Songshou County, Zhang Ping's heart was a little relaxed. He had been staring at Gao Zhisheng all the way. In case the boy ran back to Dali halfway, he could not explain to the prince. As soon as he entered the city, they were stopped by the guards at the gate. A guard came forward and said, "These people, the government has orders to travel around the city. There are a lot of people. Please get off the horse and go.
It turned out that Songshou County belonged to a remote old city. The road in the city was relatively narrow. Suddenly, so many Gentiles came, and the high-ranking officials of the state government also came. The people in the city came out to watch the bustle one after another. The governor of Songshou County was worried that the horsemen would accidentally hit the passers-by, so he issued this order,
The three of them heard it and hurriedly jumped off the horse. It was useless for Gao Zhisheng to be in a hurry. They led their horses through the gate. As soon as they entered the city, they saw the hustle and bustle of the city. The pedestrians who entered and exited Songshou County filled this originally small county full, so that they could not walk fast.
Wu Ling greeted Zhang Ping with a smile: "Brother Zhang, have you seen it? Wherever our prince goes, it can be so lively."
Zhang Ping replied, "That's it. Look at why there are so many people around the notice board next to the gate."
The two people spoke from left to right beside Gao Zhisheng, and Gao Zhisheng also looked at the place Zhang Ping said,
"Let's take a look. Maybe it's a new idea from the prince." Wu Ling proposed,
Gao Zhisheng wanted to see the king quickly, so he urged him, "Why don't we go to see the prince first?"
"What's the hurry? Now we have arrived in Songshou County. Look, there are so many people on the road. We can't go fast even if we want to." Wu Ling said caresly,
Zhang Ping also wanted to know what was written on the notice: "The prime minister and I will take a break by the roadside. Go and have a look and tell us when you come back." Although he had already entered the city, Zhang Ping also saw that Gao Zhisheng was sincerely looking for Wang, but at this time, he didn't want to make a change. As he spoke, the three of them walked to a big tree by the roadside. Wu Ling bolted his horse and squeezed into the crowd near the notice board.
Gao Zhisheng untied the water sac hanging on the saddle and took a few sips. Seeing that there was no Wu Ling coming back from the crowd, Gao Zhisheng turned his head and looked at Zhang Ping and asked, "This general seems to have been with the king of Zhennan for a long time."
Zhang Ping said with a grin, "That's right, we have been following our prince for a long time."
"Oh." Gao Zhisheng said,
"Dali, I think you also have something to say. If you have something to say, you can ask directly. Our prince has nothing to keep secret."
"Well, let me ask you if your prince's dead wife is really similar to the person in my painting, and how did his dead wife die?"
Zhang Ping looked at Gao Zhisheng curiously. The prime minister of Dali also gossiped a little, but what he asked was not the king's side**. Zhang Ping nodded: "The face is a little similar, and the age is naturally young. The relationship between the two of them is very good. Unfortunately, we followed the prince to Liao and came back. Before returning to the capital, she was sent to support Goryeo. When she came back, her wife died in a strange fire in her house, and she didn't even know where her where she was.
Although Gao Zhisheng had listened to the story of the king, he did not tell it so carefully. Hearing this, Gao Zhisheng couldn't help thinking, "Has the king also been framed?" He asked, "Then why didn't you go back to the capital and support Goryeo?"
"We also want to go back, but the court has the will not to go back, so our prince didn't even see his wife for the last time."
Hearing this, Gao Zhisheng felt sorry: "Alas, why do you want to help Goryeo? Goryeo is not a neighbor of the Song Dynasty."
When Zhang Ping saw Gao Zhisheng's words, the conversation box was suddenly opened. He said angrily, "That's right, but at that time, the Japanese slaves were beating Goryeo. Goryeo asked me for help from the Song Dynasty. The court sent the prince, but he refused to send troops. Later, the prince borrowed the soldiers of the Liao Kingdom and helped Goryeo fight the Japanese slaves."
Gao Zhisheng thought that there were so many things here. Just as he was about to ask something, he saw Wu Ling coming back in a sweat, "Hey, let me tell you that our prince has really done it."
"What's wrong?" Gao Zhisheng and Zhang Ping asked at the same time,
"Our prince's action is so fast. You see, he only arrived one day earlier than us. Now he is in action. The bidding notice has been posted. You don't know that those who read the notice are crazy. They don't talk about it, and they are all going to bid." Wu Ling wiped his sweat and said with a smile,
Zhang Pinggang walked with the horse and said, "What is the prince's bidding for?"
Wu Ling replied, "There are many bidding projects: the notice says that a new city should be built between here and the wharf, the construction of the city wall, and the houses in the new city, as well as wells drilling and paving roads. Each of these are bidding. In addition, there are also fields and docks for bidding and construction. Guess who is responsible for it. My master is in charge of these things, and the new Li Jie is the deputy general manager, hehe." After he finished speaking, he smiled proudly. Up to now, Wu Ling is still used to calling him Master He Xingyuan,
Gao Zhisheng was even more confused. Isn't the bodyguard's master a bodyguard? Why did Wang make the bodyguard responsible for paving the city? Anyway, they didn't go fast. He hurriedly asked, "This general, what is bidding?"
Wu Ling looked up and laughed and said, "You don't know anything about the prime minister. This bidding is our prince's idea. What project the local government wants to build, post a notice on the project. Then whoever has the ability to do this project will list what to do and how much money is needed, and then the person in charge of this matter will be evaluated. , who reports the best plan and spends the least money, so who will give this work to do it. In this way, how much money the government has spent, where it has been spent, and there is an explanation to the court. Our prince also said that what projects the government has done to build bridges and pave roads are spent on the taxes and money of the people, so the people are also clear-minded in this way, so they don't People dare to be greedy and take bribes.
"Okay, okay, that's great." Gao Zhisheng said three good things in a row. He thought to himself that judging from the things done by Wang, he was definitely not a greedy, lustful and belligerent person they said. How could a person who thought of the people everywhere be a belligerent? Gao Zhisheng was more and more sure that he was right to come to Wang.
