The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

Liu Chengyi's master and servant had no injuries, only one face was disfigured by the scourge, and it is estimated that there will be scars after it is cured, which caused Liu Chengyi to scold Shen Jia again, but Zhao Zhang shut him up with a look up.

Shen Jia didn't sympathize with him at all. Was it because of his cheap mouth that the knife fell on him?Looking back at Liu Chengyi, I felt an urge to pinch him to death. This person has been out of his mind since he was a child, and he always likes to argue with him, especially after being given the title of "Second Baoning Mansion". Automatically plan him among the rivals in life, childish!

He bumped into the matter between himself and Zhao Zhang back then, but Shen Jia was not afraid at that time, even if he ran out and complained, who would believe him without evidence?

But it's different now. He knew that the person who was with him back then was the current emperor, and he was known by someone with ulterior motives. He didn't know when he would make a big fuss.

"Can you guess who did it?" Zhao Zhang asked Shen Jia with a dark face.

Shen Jia shook her head: "To be able to pay attention to me all the time, it must be someone in the court. There should be no such ambitious people in the Ministry of Industry. Other yamen have little to do with me, so they shouldn't come to blackmail me for no reason, will they? Is it because of Gao Xun's death that the Gao family did it?"

Zhao Zhang retorted: "Ling Jingyun is still in Hexi, and Gao's family is besieged. It is unlikely that he has the energy to do these things. Maybe this time it really has something to do with old man Xu."

Shen Jia shrugged, "That's too bad, he didn't like me a long time ago, the reason he didn't get angry before was because he didn't find the right opportunity."

"What can he do with you? Even if this idiot is thrown out as a witness, if I say no, then no, they still dare to slander me?"

Shen Jia leaned in front of him and looked at him with a smile, "But we do, is the emperor going to lie?"

Zhao Zhang narrowed his eyes and asked him suspiciously: "Do you dare to stand with me to face the accusations of the world? It doesn't matter if you are cast aside by the world?"

Shen Jia lowered her head and smiled, "The pressure is quite high, but it's not that I don't dare, I just don't want to be too troublesome, and it's not good to involve the family." The most important thing is that they are nameless and have no status. His heart is hard to calm down.

Zhao Zhang was in a complicated mood. He also wanted to openly hold Shen Jia's hand and sit on the dragon chair, but he knew it was impossible. There had never been a male queen in all dynasties. On the other hand.

"Then just do whatever you want, I will order people to keep an eye on it, and I won't let rumors spread."

Shen Jia poked his chest with her hand, and smiled maliciously, "The best way to crack the rumors is that the emperor accepts the harem and the rumors are self-defeating, and the second is that the emperor gives birth to a child to divert the attention of the courtiers. , but, neither of these two works, I, no, sure!"

Zhao Zhang held his hand and put it on his chest, and squinted at him, "Don't worry, I don't know your character?" Once and for all.

Xu Shoufu remained silent for a long time after listening to his subordinate's report. Guessing was one thing, and confirmation was another. Thinking of the absurd things that happened between the emperor and Shen Jia in the early years, he actually felt that the world was mysterious.

I was really blind when I wanted to marry my granddaughter to him!

"Send someone to monitor the Shen residence. If the information you found is true, there must be someone in the Shen residence who knows something. This old man needs to know if they have any contacts in private."

Judging from Shen Jia's usual whereabouts, he didn't stay in the palace for many days. If he had maintained a long-term relationship with the emperor, it shouldn't be like this.

"Does your lord want to expose this matter?" Tong You asked uncertainly, if it only involved third-rank officials of the imperial court, he would never be worried, but the other party is the emperor, and if the emperor is angered, their lords will not be able to discuss it All right?

"No need, I have to think about it. It's not a big deal for them to cut off their sleeves. Since ancient times, there are not many emperors who are manly? It's just that no one is as dedicated as our emperor. Fortunately, the crown prince has established , will not have much impact on Jiangshan Sheji." Thinking of the establishment of the crown prince, Xu Shoufu was more sure of the authenticity of this matter, it turned out that the emperor had made a plan early in the morning, so Shen Jia's charm is really so great?

"Hey, the old man is really old, and he can't understand the thoughts of young people nowadays. For a man, he can even give up the emperor's hegemony, the country, the country, and the reproduction of heirs? Isn't that what harms the country and the enchantress?"

Tong You didn't dare to answer this question, but he was shocked in his heart. It's not uncommon for those couples who live together as a couple for life, but I haven't heard of anyone who would die or live for a man.

"Forget it for now, you go and keep an eye on Shen Jia first, if he can comprehend the letter sent today, that's fine, if he doesn't change his mind, hmph, this old man has his own way to get him out of Chang'an by himself!"

In the middle of the night, the dark guard came back, and the news came back only that the master and servant of Liucheng Township were captured by men in black and taken to a ruined temple outside the city. If they went to investigate again, there would be no clues, but it was certain that they could get the news so quickly and take him away. It is undoubtedly a person from Chang'an.

They checked the students who were at the same table with Liuchengyi that day, and found that the most suspicious one was a kid from a rich family named Yao, whose elder brother worked in Shuntian Mansion.

"The experience of Shuntian Mansion? What is the origin of this person? Why do you doubt him?"

"The head of the Yao family is a disciple of Lord Shoufu, and he is the prime minister of the Dali Temple. The night before yesterday, a person from the Yao family went to Xu's house. He sent a letter to the concierge and left. Then Mr. Liu was robbed that night. gone."

Zhao Zhang sat in the study wearing a middle coat, and after listening to the report, he said, "Let Lu Zhen come to see me tomorrow." He got up and walked back to the inner room, and saw that Shen Jia was already asleep on the bed, blowing out the candles and walking lightly She walked over slowly and kissed him on the forehead before going to bed.

This is a habit he learned from Shen Jia. In the past, when Shen Jia treated him like this, he always felt awkward and too outgoing, but after spending time with him, he found that all the intimate things were done freely. I can't control it at all.

"I won't let you have trouble, no one in this world dares to refute me!"

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Jia paid special attention to Mr. Shoufu. The other party did not see any abnormalities. He greeted him as usual when they met, and warned him that young people should be prudent and not too radical. What they said should be He rectified the affairs of the Ministry of Industry.

Shen Jia promised well on the surface, turned around and proposed to re-plan the Beicheng District at the court meeting, demolished and rebuilt the messy shantytowns, and even drew the blueprints.

Zhou Shangshu couldn't help jumping up, and asked loudly: "Master Shen, do you still remember what kind of sewers you said to build? I'm afraid the construction has just started over there. You are looking at the money in the treasury from your own family." right?"

The two servants of the household department also echoed and attacked Shen Jia, "Master Shen, you also left from the household department, and the money in the treasury did not come from the strong wind. The common people, which one do not want money? The south will soon enter the flood season, if the Sea Dragon King is unhappy, how many people can be drowned by sneezing, you can save some money for the treasury!"

"Master Shen is really a good official who is dedicated to the people, but the court's money is limited, so we can only take care of the most important areas first. The area in the north of the city is in chaos, but the lives of the people are not safe for a while, so why waste money on rebuilding? "None of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty agreed with Shen Jia's proposal, and many people thought: This Shen Jia is too saintly, unable to distinguish priorities.

Shen Jia expected such a result, and explained: "Spring is here, it is the season of recovery of all things, and it is also the season that is most likely to get sick. I have read the files of previous years. Every year at this time, many people die of illness, and More than half of them happened in the north of the city. I went to investigate and found that the north of the city was extremely dirty. People urinate and defecate at will, dump garbage at will, discharge sewage at will, and children even pick up garbage at random for food. If things go on like this, it is easy to breed disease, and then try to control it. It will be difficult."

"Master Shen, don't be alarmist. It has always been like this in the north of the city. It is the place where the most humble poor live. There is also a lot of food and clothing allocated every year. If everything is solved for them, wouldn't it make them even more lazy? Are you, Mr. Shen, planning to support them with your own money?"

Shen Jia sighed, "My lords, Mr. Shen didn't say that the treasury should pay all the money.

Chu Shangshu snorted coldly: "Are you crazy or are we stupid? If the northern city is rebuilt, wouldn't the imperial court pay for it and wait for the poor to pay? If they had money, they wouldn't live there. The idea of ​​getting people to donate money is out of the question, money that no one wants to spend."

"Master Chu, don't be impatient. Listen to the officials first. If you think it doesn't work, it's not too late to refute."

"Okay, I'd like to see how master Shen can come up with an ingenious solution." Xu Shoufu looked at him with eyes full of encouragement and admiration.

Shen Jia walked to the middle, and asked someone to carry a blackboard. On it was an enlarged planning map of the North City. There were many houses, and the streets were straight and square. It looked like a large group of identical houses had been built.

This kind of aesthetics does not conform to the current public aesthetics. Except for neatness, everyone really can't see the advantages.

"There are more than 3000 households in the shantytowns of Beicheng. If one family builds three large houses according to the standard, it would probably be..." Shen Jia talked eloquently, and was ridiculed by ministers when he mentioned that the land was not enough and needed to be expanded. They all said that the court did not only do good deeds, Master Shen was too sympathetic to heaven and man.

Shen Jia waited for them to finish speaking, and continued: "Chang'an is the face of the Jin Dynasty and the capital of the emperor. It should be the best place in the whole Jin Dynasty. It should be a place that everyone yearns for and respects. It is also the most developed economy and commerce. However, looking at our Chang'an city, there is not a very decent business district. Hu merchants can only trade in the north of the city, but there are many poor people there, and the rich are often unwilling to negotiate business with Hu merchants in person, which leads to If there is a middleman, let's not talk about it. The north of the city is chaotic, and Hu merchants are people with complicated identities. If something happens, it will be difficult to find someone in a place like the north of the city.

Therefore, I have an idea, that is, I want to transform the north of the city into a real business district. It should not be regarded as a place to receive Hu merchants, and the business houses of Dajin can also move in. In this way, the north of the city will soon become lively. "

"After talking for a long time, we didn't understand why Mr. Shen said that you don't need to pay from the treasury. Do you have other ways to raise money?"

Shen Jia made a bow to Chu Shangshu, nodded with a smile on his face: "The lower officials do have some unrealistic ideas."
