Ancient promotion routine

"Peng!"

With a sudden sound, the rosewood coffee table carved with jade unicorn trembled violently, and a very delicate tea bowl fell to the outside of the coffee table, smashing it into pieces.

"asshole!"

King Zhao clenched his fists fiercely and cursed fiercely.

An eunuch knelt under the hall, his buttocks pouted and trembling all over.

"Are you playing tricks on me?" King Zhao's eyes showed a fierce look, and he shouted angrily, "Damn servant, you actually gave me such a bad idea. Now that Zhang Yanjin doesn't come to redeem the cement at all, you want to buy it?" What should I do, this king!"

"Slaves deserve ten thousand deaths! Slaves deserve ten thousand deaths!" The little eunuch's voice trembled, "I beg King Zhao to save my life for the sake of my loyalty."

"Hmph! Loyalty? Like a stupid pig, what's the use of being loyal! Come on! Drag me out, cut off my tendons, and throw it into the moat to feed the fish!"

King Zhao gave an order, and several guards walked in quickly, and carried the little eunuch out. Not long after, the little eunuch's shrill screams echoed in the hall.

King Zhao stared bitterly at a jade jug on the table, and suddenly picked it up and drank the jug in one gulp, and the wine flowed down his chin wantonly.

"Zhang Yanjin, Zhang Yanjin, if you can't be used by this king, then your good life will come to an end, hum! And that bitch, playing tricks on this king, you wait for this king!"

"jingle!"

With a crisp sound, the exquisite jade jug was also slammed to the ground with a crisp sound.

Regardless of who the slut King Zhao was talking about, Zhang Yanjin suddenly got bad news as winter approached day by day.

I got the news from Ruifu accidentally.

At that time, Ruifu was chatting with Manager Feng in the front yard, because Ruifu was Zhang Yanjin's personal servant, and now he has a high status in the Duke's mansion, so many managers or handsome maids who didn't even look at Ruifu would If there is nothing to do, take the initiative to chat with Ruifu.

"Ruifu, it's hard this year. The price of coal has soared this year. It has doubled compared to last year. The budget of this mansion is still so big. How can you ask me to be the general manager!"

"Oh?" Ruifu was also surprised:

"Is there such a thing?"

"No, I don't know what's going on this year. Is the price of coal crazy? It's gone up before winter. If it comes to winter, it's probably worth more than silver."

At this time, Zhang Yanjin happened to pass by, and was very surprised to hear the conversation between the two. Didn't the emperor entrust Princess Yuyang to take care of her two coal mines?

In theory, Princess Yuyang should not be a brainless woman. How could the price of coal rise to this level?In this way, even the fights will go back to burning charcoal. Isn't the market that has been opened so easily not in vain?

But since the coal mine was handed over to the emperor, he naturally couldn't intervene anymore. Fortunately, he is not short of money now.A few days ago, the money from the sale of salt had just been shipped to the mansion, and twenty boxes full of money had to be transported in seven carriages!

"Feng Shou!" Zhang Yanjin beckoned from a distance, Feng Shou is the manager of the backyard, he rushed over quickly when he heard Zhang Yanjin's call.

"Erlang, you called me?"

Manager Feng said with a flattering smile.

Zhang Yanjin doesn't dislike this flattering expression. Many people associate flattery with bad guys, but Zhang Yanjin doesn't think so. After all, flattering you is because you respect you. You can't be the manager of others and look cold. No?

"It's nothing serious. Just now I heard you said that the budget for buying coal is not enough? You can calculate how much is still short, go to the accountant to get it, and tell me that I said so."

After saying this, Zhang Yanjin turned her head and went back to the house. Just like the shopkeeper Feng said, the price of coal must be higher as the weather gets colder. If you hesitate now, you will definitely regret it when it comes to winter. No money.

After solving this matter, Zhang Yanjin started thinking about the matter on the first floor of the sky again.

On the contrary, good news came from the first floor of the sky. After four or five days of crazily burning money, the first floor of the sky finally welcomed its first member.

But when Zhang Yanjin saw the member's name, she couldn't help frowning.

Zhou Qiye?

Unexpectedly, the people from the Zhou family were the first to cheer for him!

But Zhang Yanjin thought about it, and didn't care too much. He opened this restaurant to attract all the rich and powerful children in the capital. The capital is so big, how could it be all the people he likes?

On the contrary, I am afraid that in the huge capital at this time, apart from a few brothers of my own, there are really few rich men who like me. The servant of the Ministry of Industry, the third rank of the official residence, recently rejected Princess Yuyang's marriage offer. Presumably there must be many admirers of Princess Yuyang who would hate him to the bone.

Of course, if I don't reject the princess's offer of marriage, I'm afraid I will be even more jealous. Not everyone is like Zhang Yanjin, who avoids nepotism. Tens of thousands?

***

The eleventh day of the ninth lunar month in the old calendar is five days before the first frost.Gongfu Road, the first concrete road in the Wei Dynasty, was officially completed. This road from the imperial palace to the Post Road Division was of high standard.

It is 66 meters wide and 28 miles long. It passes through the Post Road Department, the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, Shuntian Mansion, the fork in Chang’an Street, the mansion of Chen Guogong, and finally arrives at the Imperial Palace. According to the records in the account books of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, it took a total of more than 20 days to complete. , More than 23 days, the time is short and scary. On the other hand, the road construction consumed a total of [-] taels of silver.

It can be described as the sunrise of ten thousand silver!

Burn money!Purely burning money!

After learning of these inside information, all of a sudden, the court was on edge!

"Long live Qizuo! Minister Liu Yanshi wants to impeach Zhang Yanjin, the minister of the Ministry of Industry and the head of the Post and Road Department!"

"Long live Qizuo, my minister Gao Shijie wants to impeach Zhang Yanjin, the director of the Post and Road Department!"

"Chen Zhang Ren also wants to impeach Zhang Yanjin, the director of the Post and Road Department!"

All of a sudden, voices of impeachment came one after another. Zhang Yanjin, who had not gone to the court for more than ten days and came to attend the morning court today after finally repairing Gongfu Road, was almost pissed off by these old guys!

Seeing the excitement in the court hall, the emperor coughed twice and said:

"Liu Yanshi, why did you impeach Zhang Yanjin?"

Liu Yan came out slowly, bent down and said slowly:

"Long live the Qizuo, Zhang Yanjin, the head of the post and road department, plays with power, indulges in strange tricks, forms a party for personal gain, and even slanders the saints, deceives the emperor, and spends huge sums of money to build the image project Gongfu Road, in order to support the one who is taller than him." What post road department office! According to the law of the Great Wei, the crimes committed by this son should be executed in a hurry!!"

Zhang Yanjin had been listening from the sidelines, and when she heard Liu Yanshi's words, she almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

The emperor is also full of black lines, and it will be too late to build a road. How many people will die when the dams on the south of the Yangtze River are built?

"Cough cough, that Zhang Aiqing, what do you think of the charges of impeachment against Liu Yan when you were impeached?"

After all, Zhang Yanjin admired those censors a little bit. If there were no such censors who bit people, to be honest, the civil and military officials who looked up at five people and six people would only intrigue more fiercely behind their backs. Without these old guys who dare to speak, only those who really love to play tricks have scruples.Of course, this does not include Liu Yanshi.

Zhang Yanjin walked out of the hall, cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that Master Liu is right."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the hall!

I have never met anyone who did not refute the matter of impeachment, and fully admitted it when they came up. Generally speaking, as long as someone is impeached, the two will attack each other in court, or even fight with each other. A common thing.

The emperor was also very surprised, Zhang Yanjin was not a temperament to be slaughtered, why is it so strange today?

"Zhang Aiqing, do you think Liu Yanshi's impeachment against you is true?"

Zhang Yanjin said calmly: "There are things, but Master Liu is really a little..."

All the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were hooked by Zhang Yanjin's long voice and straightened their necks, waiting for the next sentence.

"Something?"

The emperor couldn't help asking.

"A bit new to the world!"

As soon as Zhang Yanjin said this, all the officials burst out laughing, even Duke Rong, who always had a straight face, couldn't help laughing.

Liu Yanshi blushed suddenly, and said angrily: "Zhuzi! How dare you insult the old man?"

Zhang Yanjin spread her hands and said, "Master Liu, what I'm telling is the truth, why get angry? You just said that I formed a clique for personal gain and deceived the saints, but I was not angry. I said that you have never seen the world, and you were angry?"

"You...you..." Liu Yan blew his beard and stared angrily.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, I don't think it's necessary for Mr. Liu to explain the crimes of impeaching me one by one. Let me just talk about the thing he said that cost a lot of money to build roads."

The emperor was also a little happy at this time, and said with a smile: "Please tell me, Ai Qing."

"The construction of Gongfu Road cost a total of 23 taels, of which 760 million kilograms of cement was consumed, and more than 22 migrant workers were hired. It took 760 days. Regardless of the amount of money, the 760 million kilograms of cement alone, if replaced by Mr. Liu, I am afraid that it will not be transported to the city of Beijing in three months, let alone the construction, distribution, and final construction of roads according to the drawings. Colleagues from the Ministry of Industry can testify that the amount of the [-] million kilograms of cement is not just what Mr. Liu just said. I can think of it!"
