The underworld signed in for a thousand years, reincarnated as an angry and crying empress

“You said that the silver in the treasury was not approved by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so I said to you that the Xishan Province was the most severely affected this time, and there was really no silver in the imperial court before, and the repair of the dike could only be postponed, but now that there is silver, I ask you to come to meet His Highness and talk about the benefits, so that His Highness can approve the silver, and repair the dike as soon as possible, so that fewer disaster victims will be affected.”

“But what do you say? You said that my batch of articles is asking for a sky-high price, in order to enrich my own pockets! ”

I Guan Zhiwei was twenty-two years old in the imperial examination, and I entered the career at the age of twenty-three, and now I have been eighteen years, I dare not say that I have worked hard and meritoriously, but I have never dared to have the slightest greed and self-interest, at least it can be called a two-sleeved breeze, my name is clear, if I am stained by you, what face will I have to see His Highness, see my father and fellow countrymen!?”

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Li Chen’s brows became deeper and deeper.

“Do you want to fight again?”

Li Chen’s cold words made both Guan Zhiwei and Xu Changqing calm down.

The two were like defeated roosters, holding their heads and not daring to speak.

Xu Changqing, Li Chen had asked the East Factory to investigate before.

The ability is there, the character is also quite good, and he is one of the few people available in the imperial court, so Li Chen’s plan is to observe for a while longer, and then let Xu Changqing take the position of Hubu Shangshu.

This person in charge of the treasury was in charge of the important position of the imperial court’s money bag, and it was impossible for Li Chen to let the uneasy people go up.

And Guan Zhiwei, Li Chen didn’t know much about him.

It also takes time to let the East Factory investigate.

However, some details can be seen immediately.

Guan Zhiwei’s only remaining boot, a lot of wear, at a glance, you can know that he wears this pair of boots all year round, and the foot that lost the boot is only wearing socks, although the socks are still neat, but they are also washed, obviously his life is not rich.

In this way, Li Chen’s anger subsided a little.

“Bring the approval from the Ministry of Engineering.”

Seeing this, Guan Zhiwei immediately took out the official document and respectfully sent it to Li Chen’s desk.

He also explained in a voice that lost half of his teeth and was a little leaky: “Your Highness, this time is mainly to repair the two embankments that are still insisting on, Weichen has personally gone to the scene to see, the water is almost parallel to the dike, the dike is under great pressure, there are cracks and leaks everywhere, and now it is all dependent on the nearby officers and soldiers and disaster victims to repair spontaneously.”

“But without a complete repair and strengthening, it is only a matter of time before the dam fails.”

“Once these two levees fail, the water will be at least four or five hundred li, and the lives of three counties, dozens of villages, and more than 100,000 people will all be tied to these two embankments.”

Li Chen watched carefully, and his mood became heavier and heavier the more he looked.

The reality is indeed as Guan Zhiwei said, once these two dams are added, the Xishan Province, which was already the most severely affected, may be completely destroyed.

“This report is quite detailed, but the silver costs 800,000 taels?”

Xu Changqing immediately interjected: “That is, Weichen also looked at this number to feel outrageous, those two embankments were built in three years of Daxing, Weichen turned over the bottom of the household, but it cost a total of 300,000 taels of silver, and he cost 800,000 taels for this repair, how can it be explained?”

Guan Zhiwei was angry, he pointed at Xu Changqing’s nose and scolded: “You shaft, don’t open your mouth indiscriminately if you don’t understand!” Three years of the bank, it was when the wind and rain were smooth in Guotai and Minan, when the price was geometric, and what are the prices now? ”
