Chapter 451 The Divine Sword has gained toughness
Qiao Wanjin hesitated for a while, and finally asked with an uncertain tone: "Your Majesty, do you mean the new road toll?"
Zhu Zaijing nodded without any hesitation or hesitation, "This is exactly what I mean."
Qiao Wanjin couldn't help but take a breath after receiving Zhu Zaijing's affirmative answer. gas.
"My lord, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Since ancient times, whether it is the official road trestle bridge built by the imperial government, the people have been allowed to walk freely."
"And even those gentlemen outside the Communist Party of China who regard wealth as their lives, when they build bridges and pave roads with philanthropic intentions, they do it for the convenience of the villagers and to gain a reputation for charity."
"If we really A new road has been built that requires a fee to be driven. I am afraid that it will cause dissent from the world and damage the holy name of the prince."
Zhu Zaijing waved his hand and said: "President Qiao is overly worried about this road. It is not built by me, nor by the imperial court, but by rich people treating it as a business.”
“In this way, it is reasonable for people to charge for road construction, no matter who they are. It’s also blameless.”
Qiao Wanjin still felt that it was not reliable, he hesitated: “But will anyone take the new toll road? And as the saying goes, ‘Repairing bridges and repairing roads will not lead to corpses, but people will be killed. "Setting the Golden Belt on Fire", is anyone really willing to repair it? ”
Zhu Zaijing said: "Not many people were willing in the past. That was because it was a matter of conscience. But now if we give these big companies who have the ability and ability to build roads a standard."
“Let them make money by building roads according to this standard. I think even the rich squires who have read the books of sages by heart will not be able to help but do it.”
“ After all, if managed properly, this new road is a cornucopia that can continuously generate money. Why wouldn’t they do it?”
When Zhu Zaijing said this, Qiao Wanjin seemed to have it. I also understood what Zhu Zaijing meant.
Qiao Wanjin said: "This is definitely feasible, but how should this standard be set? Please let me know clearly."
Zhu Zaijing thought for a while and said: "The premise of setting standards is to first calculate the cost of building a new road? After calculating the cost of the new road, then calculate and deduce the number of carriages traveling on this road. and the average daily number of caravans. ”
“After having these data, we can calculate a reasonable and cost-effective payment per trip and mileage based on the convenience provided by this new road. An acceptable toll"
"Then multiply this reasonable and acceptable toll by the time it takes to recover the cost of road construction, and then give the road builder a certain amount of profit time. "
" Let them get an obviously predictable and optimistic income, wouldn't this mean that it is done? "
Qiao Wanjin heard Zhu Zaijing's unconventional statement? After his explanation, an economic flower he had never imagined exploded in his brain.
If this matter can really be a theoretically feasible solution through rigorous and detailed calculations, then someone will definitely be willing to give it a try.
After all, doing business is all about speed. Whoever is the fastest will have a smaller information gap, and whoever has a smaller information gap will gain the greatest benefits.
Driven by profit, there will naturally be people who are willing to spend a certain amount of money to take a new path that will allow them to be one step ahead of others.
Moreover, there are also many gentry and scholars who like to travel to various places to visit friends. They are also target customers who do not need a small amount of money.
If there is a way that allows them to reach the destinations they want to travel to and see their loved ones they want to see quickly, they will definitely be very willing to spend this time. A little money.
Therefore, after some brainstorming, Qiao Wanjin's eyes shone with unprecedented brilliance, making him feel that once this was done, he would definitely be remembered throughout the ages and become a role model admired by all generations!
Qiao Wanjin bowed to Zhu Zaijing again excitedly, "Your Majesty is talented and decisive, and I admire you greatly. If this matter can be accomplished, it will not only solve the subsequent crisis of the construction in the north, but also make the north The economy has made further progress, and maybe in the near future the northern land can hope to regain the prosperity of the Qin, Han, Tang and Song Dynasties."
Zhu Zaijing laughed, "If this is true, it will be God! The most prosperous and prosperous place in our Ming Dynasty is now located in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River. This is really not conducive to the long-term stability of our Ming Dynasty.”
“So, if your Northern Construction Bank can really create such an extraordinary achievement. Through your efforts, you can restore the economic balance between the north and the south to a state of equal distribution, and you will be the number one hero of the Ming Dynasty!”
Zhu Zaijing was also very willing to use words to praise others.
After Qiao Wanjin heard Zhu Zaijing's words, he was really excited.
After reaching Qiao Wanjin's status, in addition to yearning for the closest peak position in the Ming Dynasty Fed, his remaining pursuits may be those "fames" that can satisfy the huge psychological pleasure.
Qiao Wanjin said excitedly: "I will definitely do my best to bring this matter to a close during my tenure at the Northern Construction Bank and lay the foundation for the rejuvenation of the five northern provinces!"
Zhu Zaijing chuckled and said: "Very good, very good. I promise that as long as you can really come up with a feasible plan for this matter within the remaining time, and have a successful and feasible case for the world to see, the next one will As the chairman of the Daming Fed, I will ask the directors of Daming Bank to recommend you as one of the candidates.”
Hearing Zhu Zaijing’s promise again, Qiao Wanjin’s heart became even more excited. He said that even if Zhu Zaijing told him to die now, he might be willing to do so.
Zhu Zaijing said: "You go first. When doing these things, I will also make some forward-looking preparations for you, so that you can make this complete plan more smoothly and conveniently."
< br>Although Qiao Wanjin didn't know what Zhu Zaijing was going to do next, he was still very excited and bowed again before leaving Zhu Zaijing and returning to his Beijing Special Economic Zone Headquarters of Northern Construction Bank.
At the same time, Zhu Zaijing also asked Meng Chong to summon Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng, who had succeeded Gao Gong as the governor of the Capital Special Administrative Region, had actually reached the stage of the triennial merit examination for local officials.
However, since the Capital Special Administrative Region is within the scope of the Capital, Zhang Juzheng’s merit examination is mainly conducted in the capital every six years.
Therefore, Zhang Juzheng can theoretically continue to serve as the governor of the Capital Special Administrative Region for a long time.
Therefore, for the subsequent development of the Capital Special Administrative Region, Zhu Zaijing’s final arrangement for Zhang Juzheng was to keep his position unchanged and let him continue to serve as the governor of the Capital Special Administrative Region.
However, seeing everyone else surpassing Zhang Juzheng in stature, Zhu Zaijing must also want a bowl of water.
So, calling Zhang Juzheng this time is actually to give Zhang Juzheng a reassurance, and at the same time add weight to his work, so that he can be more motivated to contribute to the Capital Special Economic Zone.
Zhang Juzheng, who was summoned by Zhu Zaijing, immediately came to Zhu Zaijing with the people from Prince Yu's Palace who had sent him a message without any delay or waiting.
When he saw Zhu Zaijing, Zhang Juzheng also bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, Zhang Juzheng, pays homage to the prince."
Zhu Zaijing chuckled and said, "Mr. Zhang, please excuse yourself and sit down to talk." Then Zhu Zaijing said again. He ordered the little eunuch waiting outside the study to serve Zhang Juzheng a cup of tea.
Thanking him again, Zhang Juzheng, who sat down, turned slightly and looked at Zhu Zaijing, waiting for Zhu Zaijing's instructions.
Zhu Zaijing stretched out his body, took a sip of water and said, "How many years has Mr. Zhang been the governor of the Capital Special Administrative Region?"
Zhang Juzheng replied: "Almost four years." Zhu Zai Jing sighed with emotion, "Yes, four years have passed in a blink of an eye. In the past four years, Mr. Zhang has also worked hard and managed the Beijing Special Administrative Region in an orderly manner. I am very pleased."
< br>
Listening to Zhu Zaijing's emotion, Zhang Juzheng also said: "Your Majesty, these are all matters within the scope of your duties."
Zhu Zaijing chuckled and said: "Yes, that's right. Only an ambitious person like Mr. Ming Dynasty had tens of thousands of officials, many of them were selfish and few were public-spirited, so the governance in many places is really hard to describe.”
"Now that the construction of the southern part of the Capital Special Administrative Region has been roughly completed, and the east and west districts have also been rolled out one after another, sir, the pressure must be great now, right?"
What Zhu Zaijing said is That's right. With the expansion of the Beijing Special Economic Zone and the simultaneous planning of the east and west districts in recent years, Zhang Juzheng really felt like he was working hard and sleeping hard.
He would often toss and turn because he was worried about the development and planning of the Capital Special Administrative Region and failed to complete the relative construction according to the development envisioned by Prince Yu.
This has also caused people to lose a lot of weight in the past few years, which makes people feel distressed.
However, Zhang Juzheng was originally a workaholic like Gao Gong. Therefore, even with such a high load of work and pressure, Zhang Juzheng never slacked off or even complained.
Now that he heard Zhu Zaijing’s words of emotion and concern, Zhang Juzheng’s heart was really touched.
Zhang Juzheng's eyes were slightly moist and he said to Zhu Zaijing: "I am lucky enough to be able to participate in the experience of the Capital Special Administrative Region in my life, and to have it gradually take shape in my hands!"
Seeing Zhang Juzheng's reaction without any regrets, Zhu Zaijing was a little touched in his heart.
Zhu Zaijing said: "Hai Rui will be back in a while. I plan to arrange him as your deputy. At the same time, I will also ask your Majesty to appoint Shuntian Governor. Mr. Ren will be the first Shuntian Governor and take charge of it. Coordinate the important affairs of the civil affairs of the states and counties under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture."
When Zhang Juzheng heard that Zhu Zaijing said that Hai Rui was coming back and appointed him as his deputy, he felt the same in his heart. He took a deep breath secretly.
To be honest, he admired Hai Rui, but he didn't like Hai Rui's stubbornness and uprightness.
After all, after being the governor of the Capital Special Administrative Region for so long, Zhang Juzheng also understands many issues that he had never thought about before.
The governance thinking of local officials sometimes has some unconventional methods, but this method often has advantages and disadvantages, and is even somewhat unruly.
But Hai Rui is a ruthless person who always talks about rules and Ming Dynasty laws and practices them personally.
If Hai Rui sees on the sidelines that some of Zhang Juzheng's administrative methods and governance methods are not in line with the rules and beliefs he insists on, the relationship between the two may become extremely tense, thus delaying important task for the development of the special zone.
Therefore, Zhang Juzheng was a little uneasy about Zhu Zaijing's arrangement for Hai Rui, although in the following words, Zhu Zaijing also wanted to find a governorship for him.
But the thought of Hai Rui being placed between his elbows and armpits was still very stressful for Zhang Juzheng, who was used to doing things in one word.
Zhang Juzheng immediately said: "Your Majesty, I can be alone. Haigangfeng should arrange to go elsewhere."
Seeing Zhang Juzheng's reaction, Zhu Zaijing couldn't help but reveal a playful smile in his eyes.
Zhang Juzheng is good at everything, but he tends to be arbitrary and independent, and he is exactly the same person as Gao Gong.
It's just that Zhang Juzheng's temper was more restrained, and Gao Gong's temper was more public.
But the two of them are similar in nature, and they really don't like people around them to restrict them.
In this regard, Zhu Zaijing also said that he did not want to hinder them, but there were some things where a safety rope was necessary.
Otherwise, just follow the temperament of Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, even though he can accomplish a lot if he comes.
But Zhu Zaijing believed that he would definitely offend countless people, and in the end, the things they wanted to accomplish, even if they were accomplished, would eventually leave because of their frustration.
Therefore, Zhu Zaijing had to put a cage on Zhang Juzheng so that he could get used to being supervised.
Of course, based on Hai Rui's performance as Shanxi's patrolman in recent years, Hai Rui is also a very flexible person.
As long as he believes that the matter is beneficial to the people, he will find an operation that is both in line with the rules and humane to get the matter done.
Therefore, Zhu Zaijing still admired Hai Rui very much on this point. He felt that in addition to the sharp edge of the sword, this sword was now beginning to have toughness.
So Zhu Zaijing thought that since Hai Rui could change like this, Zhang Juzheng must also change accordingly.
Otherwise, because he likes to be arbitrary and arbitrary, what if one day in the future Zhu Zaijing is really unfortunate enough to follow in the footsteps of Emperor Longqing in history.
Will the dispute between Gao and Zhang reappear in a blink of an eye?
Therefore, Zhang Juzheng cannot be allowed to continue to act arbitrarily according to his temper.
Zhu Zaijing stretched out his hand to suppress what Zhang Juzheng was going to say. He said: "Haigangfeng has matured a lot after spending several years in Shanxi. His ability is beyond doubt. And in my expectations, , Mr. Zhang also wants to play a greater role as governor of Shuntian and consolidate all the important civil affairs positions under the Shuntian Mansion."
"That's why I thought of Hai Rui. , let him help you stabilize the good situation of the Capital Special Administrative Region, so that you can carry out my next plan more focused."
After Zhu Zaijing said these words, Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth and finally said nothing. He spoke out his objection again because he also heard the profound meaning of Zhu Zaijing's refusal.
So in the end, Zhang Juzheng could only bow to Zhu Zaijing in a depressed mood, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace."
Zhu Zaijing looked at Zhang Juzheng who accepted the reality and couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.
"Mr. Zhang, please don't betray my king's trust. This time I suggest that you be the governor of Shuntian. This is an important plan for the future."
"We will wait for my king's announcement. After Your Majesty, I will reorganize and plan the governance responsibilities of Shuntian Prefecture and Shuntian Governor, and expand the area under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture several times to provide a more systematic governance method. "
"Therefore, Mr. Zhang will still have a heavy burden in the future. I hope that he will do his best and never miss him again."
